Free Web NovelA deafening roar came from afar, as if the continental plates had shattered.
Along with the roar, a fierce wind wrapped in rust-colored mist drifted over. In the pungent air, there was a mix of ash and dust. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
In the wind, tables and chairs, appliances, clothes, luggage, and various items, twisted and deformed with scorch marks after being burned by flames, circled and flew as if alive, their trajectories completely random, scattering patches of pale, thick liquid, like flocks of birds scattering and fleeing during a forest fire.
The lead-gray sky seemed to press down, and lightning flashed below the clouds, like enormous and hideous scars, emitting a crimson glow.
In the flickering gaps of the lightning, a black sun, deeper than the boundless deep space, could be vaguely seen behind the clouds, erupting with black flames as if waving countless tentacles.
Below the sky, the sea roared like a beast, the water surging and tumbling, stirring up thousand-foot waves that extended into the distance, all the way to the end of the world.
Through the deep blue-black seawater, it was as if in a hallucination, one could see brilliant "starlight," just as if the distant starry sky, obscured by thick dark clouds and unseen, had fallen to the bottom of the sea.
That light was the streetlights of once prosperous streets, the magma gushing out after the earth cracked, the continuous explosion of firelight. In the illumination of that light, humans, animals, and urban legend could be seen drifting with the currents, as if asleep and having a beautiful dream, their expressions content and peaceful.
Those tall buildings, once located inland, that were exposed above the sea level, stood like broken islands. The outer walls of the tall buildings were covered with foul-smelling, nauseating fungi.
At the top of the tall buildings, figures stood frozen there, as if petrified, maintaining the actions they performed before death—pointing the weapons in their hands at each other. They seemed to have been bewitched by something, fighting until the very last moment of their lives.
Inside the empty buildings, a hoarse voice from a broadcast, coming from who knows where, announced, "A magnitude 10.7 earthquake occurred off the southern coast of the Lesser Sunda Islands, with a focal depth of..."
In mid-air, cracks opening from the virtual world, like entrances to the abyss, spewed out green flames that seemed to be composed of pixel blocks. Occasionally, human figures struggled to crawl out of the green flames, only to disappear in an instant as if they had been deleted.
In such a world, time became meaningless.
Finally, the "starlight" beneath the sea level also dimmed, like oil lamps being blown out by the wind. Then, the world seemed to have reached its final end, and everything fell into dead silence.
"Splash!"
After an unknown amount of time, a sound of water broke the dead silence.
A girl wearing Qingyi and with red hair fluttering, sat on a dilapidated platform that was exposed above the sea level. Her pink feet dangled from the edge of the platform, swinging back and forth, her toes skimming the murky water that had returned to calm, creating ripples.
"So, this is the end? I thought that when the sun no longer rose, everything would be swallowed by darkness. I didn't expect it to be like this..."
The girl said, raising her head to look into the distance. As far as her eyes could see, there was no darkness, only deathly gray.
Behind her, a kind-faced old man with somewhat dark skin lay on the ground, only half of his body remaining, but he was still alive, barely breathing.
"Chairman, you're probably the last person I can talk to. If you're not dead, want to chat for a bit?"
Hearing the girl's words, the old man struggled to open his eyes and looked at her with those empty eyes, saying weakly, "Disaster, you finally did it..."
"Yeah!" The girl nodded and said, "But, it wasn't done beautifully. Look, this light now... Tsk! Hard to describe."
"If I had known the ending would be like this, it would have been better to let Void win and swallow everything into the virtual world. That way, everyone should still be able to live in the virtual world, right?"
"Although achieving a highly realistic virtual world before moving towards a space civilization would eventually become a Disaster, a slow death is still better than now."
"Now Void is also asleep. Do you think it will dream of the end of the metaverse starry sky?" "I don't know." The old man replied unromantically.
"Then what about Yagn Nie? Will it become something like a Zerg Hive? When objects are given consciousness, will they reproduce? Do Switch and PS5 have reproductive isolation?"
"No, cough cough cough, I don't know..."
"Oh right, Chairman, I've always wanted to ask you, but I didn't quite dare to. But if I don't ask now, I might not have the chance! Your skin is so dark, is it from being burned by the black sun Fire inside you?"
""
The girl talked to herself, and after a long while, she realized that the old man hadn't responded to her for a long time. She looked back and found that the old man had lost his breath at some point.
She slowly turned back, her eyes gradually dimming, lowering her head, her long hair completely covering her face like a curtain.
After a long silence, she sat up straight again, smiling and talking to herself.
"Then what about Plague Tai Sui? Will it become an existence like a Zerg Queen? Honestly, I always thought it was male, but thinking about it carefully, discussing the gender of fungi seems a bit unreasonable?"
"Then what about Meng Ling? In their dreams, those people's unattainable dreams should have all come true, right? Didn't they all say that you can have anything in your dreams?"
"I should be considered the only deity in this world now, right? They all say that loneliness can kill a person. Do you think it's possible to kill a deity?"
The girl continued to talk, talking incessantly, as if the last old man who could talk to her was still alive. Until a very, very long time later.
The girl's cracked and peeling lips twitched, and she asked with a choked voice, "Chairman, is it possible that I was actually wrong? Do you think I still have a chance to start over?"
Waiting for a long time.
No one answered, only the wind, whistling past—
"Hey! Chatterbox Girl? Chatterbox Girl?"
Lu Yibei's shouts, one after another, were like a needle, popping the bubble in front of Chatterbox Girl. "Huh?" She was stunned for a moment, then composed herself and said, "What's wrong?"
"What do you mean, 'What's wrong?'" Lu Yibei rolled her eyes and said, "Can you concentrate when you're driving?" "I've been talking to you for a long time, and you haven't said a word. I thought you owed internet fees and got disconnected!"
"Then why didn't you top up my internet fees?" Chatterbox Girl teased, "When I do power leveling for you, sometimes I don't even get enough to eat. Isn't it normal to owe internet fees?"
"Tsk!" Lu Yibei spat, "Now that you're back online, answer my question from just now?" "What question?" Chatterbox Girl tilted her head.
Lu Yibei frowned, "I asked you, how is Uncle Zhang Shan? He wasn't really hit and killed, was he?" "Is that important?"
"Nonsense, of course it's important! Hurry up and tell me."
"Well..." Chatterbox Girl smiled meaningfully, not answering Lu Yibei's question.
Looking at her exquisite profile, Lu Yibei opened her mouth, just about to say something, when she saw sparse stubble gradually growing on that face, and the contours gradually becoming rougher.
The next moment, a ray of sunlight hit her face without warning.
After being in the dark for a while, the sudden sunlight briefly blinded Lu Yibei. When her vision became clear again, she saw Uncle Zhang Shan's foul face and the QR code handed to her.
"Here you are, twenty-eight yuan."
Today, Lu Yibei was surprisingly charged a fare! If there were no urban legend legends, she had to pay the fare!
Not a single cent less!
In silence, Lu Yibei looked out the window. It was afternoon, and the sun was bright in front of the gate of Jingyi Apartment Complex.
Seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She quickly took out her phone and paid the fare, happily pulling Hua Xieyu out of the car.
As she left, she also enthusiastically left a message for Uncle Zhang Shan, "Uncle, next time we meet, I'll tell you slowly, tell you until you don't dare to go to the toilet at night, the kind that makes your bladder burst."
Uncle Zhang Shan, ""
Although... why did her words sound so unpleasant?—
A moment later, in the elevator of Building 3, Phase 3 of Jingyi Apartment Complex.
"What? You, you have another girl at home?!" Hua Xieyu stared at Lu Yibei with wide eyes, "Then is it not good for you to take me back like this? Won't Older sister be angry?"
"No, Miss, isn't your focus a bit strange?" Lu Yibei said exasperatedly.
Lu Yibei felt that since she was taking Hua Xieyu home, it was necessary to tell her in advance that a tianzai level strange story lived in her house. However, what she didn't expect was that Hua Xieyu's focus wasn't on the tianzai level strange story, but on the fact that the urban legend was a big Older sister who could be cute or mature.
It's outrageous!
That's a tianzai level strange story that can make you have eight babies in one go! Aren't you even scared? fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Lu Yibei thought, explaining expressionlessly, "No, my relationship with her is not what you think, understand?" "Not quite understand?" Hua Xieyu shook her head.
"Tsk! With your level, you can't even understand this?" Lu Yibei complained. As she spoke, she took out her key and opened the door.
The moment the door opened, a small figure darted out with a "whoosh," circled behind Lu Yibei, hugged her thigh, looked up at her with pleading eyes, and then turned to look inside the house.
"Hey! You ran quite fast. If your butt doesn't bloom today, I'll take your last name!"
Accompanied by a series of shouts, Ju Meng, disheveled, jogged to the door.
Hua Xieyu was stunned for a moment, looked at Ju Meng, then looked at the little girl whose eyebrows were somewhat similar to Lu Yibei and Ju Meng, her eyes slightly lit up, and she nodded.
"Now I understand, you have a child!" Lu Yibei, "???"
Miss, ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ you can't just say things like that! Who knows where this child came from?
Some plants can reproduce asexually. Maybe this child was created by Smelly Girl herself when she was bored at home?
