BXBX NOVEL Chapter 131.2
Chapter 131.2
Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but fall silent. Those who were forcibly dragged into this experiment were definitely not willing. Meng Qingqiu’s behavior simply ignored the wishes of those people and even put them in an extremely dangerous situation.
“Everything should stop here, this crazy experiment should end…” Meng Xinghe said calmly, “Once this experiment is over, you’ll be able to return to reality and your original life path… Don’t worry, you haven’t been missing for long. The longest missing person is about half a month, and you are about a week.”
“A week?” Xiao Tangqiu was in a daze. It turned out that he had only spent seven days in this horror game world?
Meng Xinghe nodded, “So don’t worry, you won’t leave this era when you return to reality. For your loved ones, you have only been missing for a little while… You will soon go back to a normal life, back to your life path.”
Xiao Tangqiu asked dumbly, “…So you killed so many people before, not for fun, but just to temporarily bring their consciousness back to reality?”
Meng Xinghe said in a calm tone, “Once my mother comes back and finds out that everyone has been ‘killed’ by me, she will immediately erase their memories and send them back to the City of the Abyss. So you have to hurry up and take advantage of right now to end this experiment and free everyone.”
Xiao Tangqiu was silent for a long time and suddenly asked, “I want to ask you a question… You died of brain death to save me seven years ago. Do you regret it?”
Meng Xinghe paused, then he said calmly, “No.”
“You’re lying, right? How can you not regret it?” Xiao Tangqiu muttered, “If you hadn’t died back then, your life would be very wonderful now…” No matter what, it was definitely better than playing a king in a single-player game.
“I have indeed imagined what life might have been like if I hadn’t died countless times…” Meng Xinghe sighed deeply, “Maybe we would have been admitted to the same university, or even the same major, and graduate. Then go to the same company and rent a house together…
“Maybe be a gaming host with you to play games as a career, and to live the unfettered life of a freelancer together…
“But no matter what kind of vision I have about life… you are there in all of them. I did regret it for ‘I died’, but never for ‘saving you’.”
Xiao Tangqiu stared blankly at Meng Xinghe. It turned out that the two “tests of the Light God’s Sword” were not only hints from Meng Xinghe but also another kind of future envisaged by Meng Xinghe… If there really was a parallel world, would Meng Xinghe and he be living another kind of life there?
It was a pity that it had nothing to do with them and they’d never know.
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly asked, “If I end this experiment, you will stay here forever, right?”
Meng Xinghe gave Xiao Tangqiu a deep look and didn’t answer.
Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind, “Then I will end this experiment and send everyone else back to the real world. I will stay with you… I will stay in this world together with you!”
Meng Xinghe was silent for a long time before he suddenly laughed, “I’m very happy. I’m very happy that you are willing to stay with me… But do you remember what you said to me before in the ‘Test of the Light God’s Sword’?
“If it was you two years ago, maybe you would have stayed for me, but now you won’t.”
Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth, “I’ve changed my mind now!”
Meng Xinghe shook his head, “No, you have walked out, and you should have walked out&#k2026; Let go of everything in the past and look forward.”
“You shouldn’t stay, this is not your world, you shouldn’t stay in this desert where everything is just empty programs. You shouldn’t stay with me in brain death. The more exciting real world outside belongs to you. You deserve a better life&#k2026;”
Xiao Tangqiu’s eyes gradually reddened, “Are you kidding?! How can you tell me to leave you alone now? Seven years ago, you became what you are now in order to save me. If seven years later, I unhesitantly leave you behind and leave, would I even have a conscience?”
Xiao Tangqiu took a step forward and grabbed Meng Xinghe’s wrist, “I will end this experiment and send everyone else back to the real world, but I will stay with you!”
Meng Xinghe stared at Xiao Tangqiu, and after a moment he asked softly, “…Even if the consequence is brain death with me?”
Xiao Tangqiu said without hesitation, “Of course!”
Meng Xinghe smiled, “If this is still the Test of the Light God’s Sword, you would have already lost.”
Xiao Tangqiu sighed, “I’ll acknowledge it regardless…”
“Okay, I agree with you staying with me,” Meng Xinghe chuckled, “but you end this experiment first and send the others back to reality.”
Xiao Tangqiu nodded, even if Meng Xinghe didn’t say anything, he would definitely send Tang Mianmian and the others back to reality. They were the innocent people involved.
“How do I do it?”
“It’s very simple,” Meng Xinghe said lightly, “you unplug my oxygen tube. As long as I die, everything is over.”
Xiao Tangqiu, “You’re joking?!”
Meng Xinghe’s expression was calm, “I’m not joking, only by unplugging my oxygen tube can the experiment stop and everything will end.”
Xiao Tangqiu was stunned, “But…”
In that case, Meng Xinghe would die soon!
“Don’t worry, even if you unplug my oxygen tube, my consciousness will stay here for a while. I am the master of this world and I can even control the time of this world. If you stay with me, I can stay here for a long while. I will create a new life for us in my last dying time…” Meng Xinghe’s tone was very calm, “Just like what you saw in the Test of the Light God’s Sword, it can start now, or it can start from seven years ago. We can even start from when we were born, and we could live into our 80s, and then die of natural aging before both of us become completely brain dead.”
Xiao Tangqiu fantasized about it, smiled, “That’s good, then let’s do that…”
“Go,” Meng Xinghe smiled at Xiao Tangqiu, “Go and unplug my oxygen tube.”
Xiao Tangqiu nodded, “Okay, let me end this.”
He turned around and was about to walk towards the hospital bed, but Meng Xinghe suddenly stopped him, “Wait a minute.”
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Tangqiu paused.
Meng Xinghe suddenly took a step forward, grabbed Xiao Tangqiu’s wrist, and then lowered his head and took a bite of Xiao Tangqiu’s lips.
Xiao Tangqiu froze for a few seconds before glaring at Meng Xinghe with a blush, “…What are you doing?”
Meng Xinghe smiled and sighed, “Actually, I wanted to do this when I was seventeen… I was planning to ask you for this birthday present on my eighteenth birthday.”
Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand, “You… So you also secretly like me?”
“Also? Do you secretly like me too?” Meng Xinghe raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Tangqiu glared at Meng Xinghe with a blushing face, “…Damn! Don’t catch the loopholes in my words. Be honest, since when did you start to secretly like me?”
“When? I don’t even remember… Then when did you start secretly liking me?” Meng Xinghe smiled lightly.
“I… I don’t remember either.” Xiao Tangqiu blushed and looked away. Although Shen Yuan always denied that he was Meng Xinghe, he always believed that Shen Yuan was Meng Xinghe… Sure enough, it turned out that the reason why he liked Shen Yuan was entirely because the two of them were the same person. Shen Yuan was Meng Xinghe and Meng Xinghe was Shen Yuan.
“Okay, go,” Meng Xinghe smiled, “If you don’t go, my mother will be back… As for the rest, we still have a lot of time to talk slowly, and there are still decades…”
Xiao Tangqiu nodded and walked slowly towards the hospital bed where Meng Xinghe was pale with his eyes closed.
The thought of Meng Xinghe lying in his hospital bed for seven years broke his heart… But, it was all over.
Xiao Tangqiu slowly reached out and gently touched Meng Xinghe’s face on the bed.
The Meng Xinghe nearby watched Xiao Tangqiu’s movements calmly and he suddenly whispered, “I’m glad that at the end of each of my life, the person I see is you…”
Xiao Tangqiu’s movements stopped and heard Meng Xinghe continue to say, “In the next life, please take care of me.”
“Of course…”
Xiao Tangqiu took a deep breath and with trembling hands unplugged the oxygen tube from the Meng Xinghe oxygen mask.
He personally unplugged Meng Xinghe’s oxygen tube.
Several machines next to him uttered a harsh beeping instantly and the world before him immediately began to gradually collapse.
The world was beginning to crumble, this experiment was finally coming to an end, everything was over.
Xiao Tangqiu was about to turn around and go back to Meng Xinghe when he suddenly felt a whirlwind, a force that seemed to pull his consciousness away from this body, this world…
He looked at Meng Xinghe in disbelief only to see Meng Xinghe’s deep look, “You don’t belong to this world, get out of here.”
Xiao Tangqiu asked in disbelief, “You just lied to me?!”
Meng Xinghe said in a calm tone, “I have just released memory gas on all of you. When you wake up, you will forget all this…”
Xiao Tangqiu’s eyes were completely red, “You liar! Big liar!”
Meng Xinghe smiled. His smile was very bright, just like the bright smile of the teenager seven years ago and the tear mole on the corner of his left eye seemed to be shining, “Get out of here, forget everything, and live a good life.”
“Liar…
“Damn liar…”
Xiao Tangqiu gradually lost focus and even Meng Xinghe’s face before him began to become hazy…
At the end of his consciousness, there was a sigh from Meng Xinghe.
“Goodbye, Xiao Tangqiu.”
