ATFBETIBM Chapter 579

Wang Tou: “Su Xiaohua’s expression didn’t look like she was saying ‘thank you.'”

“Boom!” The beam above fell in large chunks, crashing to the ground and sending dust flying.

Amid the rumbling noise, Bai Lixin approached Wang Tou and opened his mouth, but his voice was completely drowned out by the crashing sounds.

No one knew what he said to Wang Tou, but Wang Tou was stunned at first, then a smile appeared on his face.

With this calm smile, he turned and walked into the center of the collapsing house, calmly accepting the falling beams above.

The ground trembled, and in the blink of an eye, the four people were gone.

The red lights in Bai Lixin’s mind continued to flash frantically, emitting ear-piercing alarm sounds.

[Ding! Warning, warning! It is detected that the player is in a near-death environment, please move away immediately!]

[Ding! Warning, warning! There are only 10 minutes left in the game time countdown. Task 1 completion progress is 90%, please hurry!]

There were only ten minutes left, and the last severed leg still hadn’t been found.

Was it going to end like this?

The barrage in the live broadcast room was not as lively as usual, it was quiet and empty.

But looking at the number of viewers in the top right corner, it was clear that more and more players were watching this live broadcast.

[Is it going to end like this?]

[Impossible, he’s God Xin, the omnipotent God Xin, how could it end like this?]

[Why not? Hasn’t he been punished for failing before? Just because you call him ‘God’ doesn’t mean he’s not a mortal. He’s not a real god. Humans fail, and he must pay for his failures and arrogance.]

There were few barrages, and those criticizing this statement were not as numerous as usual.

[But he hasn’t given up yet.]

A comment rolled by.

[He’s still running forward.]

Yes, he was still running forward.

In the picture, Bai Lixin took out his usual white scythe from his backpack. The beautiful scythe emitted a pure, dazzling light like snowflakes. It danced in Bai Lixin’s hands, the light wrapping around him as he weaved through the sea of surging black monsters.

The white spots of light were so small in the black mire, yet exceptionally striking.

The audience watched the live broadcast nervously.

Several times, they saw the white light completely submerged in the black mire, only for it to miraculously emerge again the next second.

They were turbulent, fierce, and violent, chasing after him relentlessly.

Many viewers’ palms were sweating. They felt anxious, and tense.

They watched the screen intently, not daring to blink, afraid that Bai Lixin would disappear the moment they did.

Meanwhile, they kept glancing at the countdown in the top right corner, watching helplessly as the time dropped from 10 minutes to 8, 6, 4…

[What good will it do to escape?]

Someone posted this discouraging comment in the barrage.

[There’s only 4 minutes left, he won’t have time to find that severed leg.]

Was it really too late?

Bai Lixin’s fans held their breath, anxiously watching the young man on the screen.

“Woof woof!”

Suddenly, a dog’s bark came from the screen.

Then a figure shot towards Bai Lixin like a comet.

The figure moved quickly, with a comet-like trail behind it.

The black monsters chasing Bai Lixin seemed either afraid of the figure or uninterested in it, as they all made way wherever it passed.

It raced towards Bai Lixin, and Bai Lixin ran towards it.

Due to the accelerated time, the countdown in the upper right corner had reached the final 1 minute.

50s, 40s, 30s…

When there were only 20 seconds left, there was still a distance of five or six meters between the man and the dog.

“Gan Tai, throw it to me!” Bai Lixin shouted, and the comet-like figure immediately threw something into the sky.

20s, 10s, 5s…

Bai Lixin leaped into the air, and when there were only five seconds left, he skillfully caught what Gan Tai had thrown.

[Ding!]

[Found Su Xiaohua +10%, Su Xiaohua’s assembly completion rate reached 100%. Congratulations player, Task 1 is completed.]

[End of copy time, congratulations to the player for completing Task 2.]

[The copy challenge is successfully completed, congratulations to the player on achieving the final victory.]

[Next, proceed to copy challenge rating.]

[Main Task 1, Main Task 1 completed, basic rewards obtained.]

[Hidden task [Assemble Xiaohua] completed, additional rewards obtained.]

[Hidden task [Desires of Xiaohua’s Personality] completed, additional rewards obtained.]

[Hidden task [Sacrifice of Personality] completed, additional rewards obtained.]

[Hidden task [A Unique Xiaohua] completed, additional rewards obtained.]

[Congratulations to player Bai Lixin, all hidden tasks related to [Xiaohua] have been completed, player receives SS grade rating, and all rewards were obtained. Rewards will be distributed via email after transfer to the game lobby, please check your mail.]

[As all hidden tasks of this copy have been completed, the main character of the copy “Xiaohua” will disappear, and the copy will be closed from now on.]

[[Xiaohua] copy-generated qualification video, would the player like to view?]

[Yes/No]

Bai Lixin’s consciousness clicked [Yes], and the system continued, [Ding! Player receives a copy-generated qualification video.]

[Now starting teleportation from the copy, destination: Game Lobby – Player Dormitory.]

As the system finished speaking, Bai Lixin’s vision was instantly engulfed by a vortex.

During the teleportation, an image appeared in his mind and simultaneously appeared on the live broadcast screen for the audience to see.

In the real world, Xiaohua finally erupted when faced with her husband that kicked and punched her. She got a psychotic episode during her sleep and killed him.

Afterward, she developed multiple personalities and was confined in a mental hospital.

In the real world, Xiaohua often switched between her personalities.

Sometimes she was a strict parent, sometimes a voyeuristic maniac, sometimes a violent man, sometimes an embodiment of justice as a cop or lawyer, and sometimes an innocent girl.

As her personality switches accelerated, her mental state also suffered severe damage and she gradually fell into a coma.

If her personalities continued to split infinitely, she would die in that coma.

To cure Xiaohua, the hospital began personality elimination therapy.

They had to choose a medium to enter Xiaohua’s world of personalities and guide her to make a choice.

The medium chosen by the doctors was Gan Tai.

Xiaohua had lost trust in humans and couldn’t relax around anyone.

The reason Gan Tai could do it was that Xiaohua had raised a dog when she was young. That dog had appeared many times in Xiaohua’s diary as one of her few happy memories.

So Gan Tai could recognize and be close to all of Xiaohua’s personalities.

In the video’s final moments, the over-fifty-year-old Xiaohua slowly opened her eyes on the sickbed. Her pupils were clear and innocent, and she uttered her first words in a long time: “Mom.”

At the moment the video ended, Bai Lixin also lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, the surroundings had changed from the familiar yet unfamiliar player dormitory.

Unlike his usual awakening in bed, today he woke up on the sofa. There were two teacups on the coffee table in front of him, emitting hot steam.

Bai Lixin stared at the two puffs of white smoke in a daze: “Has someone been here?”

Escape System: [Sorry, Master Bai Lixin, I just regained consciousness.]

S419M: [I also don’t know, Lord Host, I just woke up.]

Bai Lixin tested the teacups with his fingers, they were still warm.

If someone had really been here just now, that person must have left not long ago.

Escape System: [Master Bai Lixin, do you need me to apply to investigate the player dormitory surveillance?]

Bai Lixin: [Player dormitories have surveillance?]

Escape System: [Normally no, but I can apply to see if we can find out who it was

S419M: [Forget it, what if it’s Lord God?]

The escape system’s sweet electronic voice was puzzled: [Lord God? Who is Lord God?”

S419M: [Escape System, are you silly? Lord God is Lord Host’s lover, that man whose name can’t be mentioned, the one you forget as soon as you say.]

The escape system’s voice still sounded very confused: [Master Bai Lixin’s lover? Who is that?]

S419M: “…”

Bai Lixin: “…”

S419M: [Lord Host, something doesn’t seem right. Think about it, in previous copies, Lord God would always pursue us, but he didn’t show up at all in the last copy.]

Bai Lixin’s voice was heavy: [Young King Yama has also disappeared, regressing to karma fruit.”

S419M: [The karma fruit exists because of the aura between you and Lord God. If one of you suddenly disappears, then the karma fruit…]

It suddenly stopped talking.

Once players enter a copy, they can’t check the leaderboard. Now that he’s out of the copy, Bai Lixin immediately sank his consciousness into the system.

He opened the leaderboard in the bottom right corner and subconsciously looked at the top line.

The first place on the leaderboard, the name that was always mosaiced, had completely disappeared.

Instead, it was replaced by a name he had no impression of —Nian Suihan.

S419M was a bit panicked: [Lord God’s name has disappeared, and Sister System’s memory of Lord God seems to have completely vanished. If Sister System doesn’t remember, then other players have probably forgotten Lord God too.]

It spoke with a sudden sob in its voice: [Lord Host, could Lord God be dead?]

[I don’t know what happened these past few days,] Bai Lixin’s voice was unusually calm, [but I am certain of one thing, he is definitely not dead.]

[Dijia arrived in this game world earlier than I did and has been planning for so long. It’s absolutely impossible for him to end up in such a situation.]

[Don’t cry, I will find him again.]

S419M: [What if he’s like before…]

Bai Lixin: [Then I will piece him back together bit by bit.]

S419M: [Wuuu…]

‘This exquisite love, now only I can witness it.’

Bai Lixin then checked the other rankings, and sure enough, just as he had suspected, everything about Dijia had disappeared, as if this person had never existed.

He had thought of it when Young King Yama suddenly turned into karma fruit, but actually verifying it still made Bai Lixin sad.

He flipped back to the personal points ranking list and looked at the first name again.

Nian Suihan, who is this?
