From Shen Guan's perspective, Su Yu submitted the answer and left the game, returning to the real world.
But from Su Yu's perspective, there was no such thing.
The system error message in her mind was sharp and harsh. Su Yu felt her body light up. Everything around her became still. The surprise on Shen Guan's face stopped. The blood drops on his neck stopped flowing downward. The footsteps outside the room sounded. Stopped, and the banging outside the door also stopped.
Su Yu originally thought she would be transported back to the real world, but when she opened her eyes again, she was still in the game.
The body seemed to be imprisoned by something, unable to move.
She saw her vision dimming little by little. Gradually, everything she could see was covered in darkness and turned into nothingness. It was so quiet that there was no sound.
Where is this place?
Su Yu tried calling the system in her mind: [System? System, are you there? Where is this? 】
Da da da.
Calm and rhythmic footsteps sounded in this dead place, getting closer and closer.
"You were the one who killed that idiot?"
A low and melodious voice sounded. The voice was gorgeous and magnetic, and the tone was playful, with a sense of evilness about watching the excitement, and it sounded a little familiar.
Soon, the darkness in front of Su Yu disappeared.
It was still dark in front of me, but I could see things clearly. It was like the brightness of the dim moonlight shining in through the window, and I could vaguely see that the place in front of me looked like an old castle.
Hearing the sound, Su Yu's heart rang with alarm bells.
In an instant, every pore in his body screamed danger.
The moment she was able to control her body, Su Yu reacted very quickly and rolled on the spot, hid in the corner, and at the same time threw the soul-killing nail at the source of the sound.
boom--
The huge sound caused a burst of masonry and soil to splash in all directions.
Turning around, Su Yu broke out in a cold sweat, thankful that she had escaped in time.
I saw that the place where she was just now was already a huge pit.
If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would be the one in the pit now, and she might have been crushed into mincemeat.
"Yes, the response is quite fast." The voice sounded again.
Listening to it again, Su Yu felt that the voice sounded more familiar.
After saying this, the voice stopped ringing again, and even the footsteps stopped.
Su Yu didn't feel that he had left.
Suddenly, her heart was beating fast, and the intuition she had developed from playing several games told her to get away quickly. Unexpectedly, just as her feet were about to exert force, her throat suddenly tightened.
A pair of big, sharp-jointed hands strangled her neck mercilessly.
Su Yu frowned, with a fierce look in her eyes. She raised her leg and kicked him hard. At the same time, she flipped her right wrist and slashed a dagger hard at the person in front of her. Taking advantage of the moment when the person dodged, a revolver quietly appeared in her left hand. Pistol, pull the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang -" gunfire sounded.
What shocked Su Yu was that at such a close distance, the man actually dodged and could dodge bullets. This was beyond the scope of normal people.
Unfortunately, he dodged the bullet but not the dagger.
The man touched his neck, and a very deep blood mark lay across his neck.
"Tsk, what a cruel attack."
Can you still talk if your trachea is severed?
When Su Yu was shocked, the man suddenly came over and bent one leg slightly to press against Su Yu's leg. She couldn't see clearly how he moved. Su Yu only felt a pain in her wrist and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang. The revolver was also taken away by the man.
The hand holding her neck slowly tightened.
Su Yu felt it was difficult to breathe, her mouth opened uncontrollably, and physiological tears filled her eyes.
She raised her moist eyes with force.
Because the distance was closer, Su Yu finally saw the person's appearance.
In an instant, there seemed to be a thunder blast in the air.
Su Yu finally understood why she felt that the voice was familiar just now.
She struggled to make a sound: "Ling, brother Ling..."
Su Yu wanted to ask him if he was already dead and why he was still alive? And why does it appear here? Where is this place?
Of course, what she wanted to do more was to beg him to let her go.
Su Yu didn't want to die. She didn't die even after being pulled into the game five times. She didn't want to die here for no reason.
A tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
Pat pat, dripping on the hand connected to the neck.
As if it had been burned, the hand trembled, subconsciously let go, and in an instant, it strangled the neck again, but not as hard as before.
When she got a chance to breathe, Su Yu gasped for air as if she was exhausted. The physiological saline at the end of her eyes wetted her eyelashes, which were wet and tangled into clusters. They hung low, looking embarrassed and pitiful.
The man seemed to find it interesting and raised his eyebrows: "I am not your brother Ling. Your brother Ling has been killed by you. Oh, you can't say that, because he is not dead yet, he was just kicked out of the game. "
Hearing these words, Su Yu's heart skipped a beat and she raised her eyes to look at him. She had exactly the same facial features and contours, even the position of the inconspicuous little mole at the end of her eye.
But if you look closely, you will find that they are indeed different.
Ling Hanye's pupils were lighter in color, glowing like amber in the sunlight.
The eyes of the man in front of him were as dark as thick ink, with an evil light under the moonlight. The curve of his mouth was frivolous, and every expression was completely different from the gentle, upright, and educated Ling Hanye. .
Su Yu's voice was hoarse: "Who are you?"
"Who am I?" He lowered his eyes, and the evil smile at the corner of his mouth faded slightly. His voice was very weak, with a sense of desolate loneliness, "I have no name, but maybe you are more accustomed to calling me...system."
When Su Yu heard him calling himself a system, Su Yu almost broke away from her character, but she soon realized that the system the man was referring to was the game system.
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She just said that if the big fat cat in the system could become like this, she would eat up the quick escape.
"What is your... relationship with Brother Ling?"
Su Yu frowned, her throat hurt like fire, and it was extremely difficult to say a complete sentence.
"How keen." The man pondered for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't hurt to tell you."
After listening to the man's answer, Su Yu suddenly realized. No wonder she always felt that the male protagonist's character was a bit strange, and the description of the original plot was also strange. So that's it.
"You said you were the system."
Su Yu endured the discomfort in her throat and calmly looked directly into his eyes: "So you can't kill me. I've cleared the game, so you must let me go."
The system is composed of codes. Since it is code, it has underlying logic and is bound by certain rules. After the player clears the game, he can return to the real world. This is the rule set at the beginning and is also the most basic logic for the game to run.
Maybe he could pull her into this dimension somehow, but he couldn't trap her here forever.
Sure enough, the man admitted it.
He chuckled, observed Su Yu with interest for a while, and then said slowly: "You are very smart."
The moment she left this strange space, Su Yu's props were returned.
Without hesitation, she pointed the gun at the man and pulled the trigger.
After the gunshot, she disappeared into this space.
The man narrowly dodged the bullet and looked into the sky. The darkness and desolation in his eyes faded a little. The palm of his hand slowly touched his heart, where he felt a beating that he hadn't seen for a long time.
She is powerful and smart, at least smarter than that idiot.
The man caressed the position on his heart. If a person is not willing to accept even a part of himself, then this person must be the stupidest idiot in the world.
besides--
He seemed a little moved.
