696 Immortal
It’s not a family, it’s not a family.
Gu Yu and I both bumped into the south wall and didn't look back. No matter how bad the ending was, we wouldn't give up hope.
Just when I thought of him wandering around on the desolate land like a wandering soul in order to find me, my heart was cut by a blunt knife.
But I did not forget the purpose of the Game Association. They wanted to make players mentally collapse and send me to the future, just to stimulate me.
I took a deep breath, stabilized my emotions, let go of other problems for the time being, and stared at Ted for a long time.
"What's wrong? Am I old?" Ted looked down at his hands. His hands were useless for a long time, but they were still flexible. He did not see the sun in the tower and his skin did not white.
"Do you have something you used to exchange for points before? Otherwise, why are you not poisoned to death, your muscles have not atrophy, and the dust still avoids your body."
"Hmm?" Ted looked at the single bed. The quilt had been lifted and dust was everywhere, but a clear head print could be seen on the pillow. Ted's face was very clean, only a little gray that he had just gotten when he got up.
After understanding what I meant, Ted patted him. He was wearing a neat suit and even tied. I remember that after the death of a Westerner, he was also dressed in a coffin.
Ted might also want to die decently, but fortunately I can see him. If he chooses to jump from the top of the tower, we may not be able to see him.
"Oh, it's it!" Ted took out a ring from his suit pocket, which was a platinum ring with a diamond the size of a soybean.
When I saw the ring in his pocket, my first reaction was that I felt that I was wrong. He was wearing it so formally, not because he wanted to die decently, but because he proposed to someone before he died, but unfortunately he was rejected and then he found a brief look.
Failed marriage proposal plus depression...
"I really changed this. It's called the Eternal Ring. I thought the name is auspicious and has a good meaning, so I changed it. I originally wanted to propose with it, but I didn't expect... Hehe... God just doesn't want me to live a good life. Everything I like will be taken away. That silly girl is only nineteen years old." Ted's eyes were slightly red, and he held the ring tightly in his palm.
I was silent, not comforting him, and when Ted himself came back from his grief, he spread his palms and the ring cut his palm and bleeding oozed.
"I did this too, and the ring was stained with blood. Later I wiped it clean, then drank poison and lay down to die."
"Maybe it is called eternity not just for the good sound. It can guarantee that you will live forever. Look at your clothes, the clothes are old, the sheets and bedding are old and dirty, and not only does your appearance remain unchanged, but your body is also clean, as if... time has stopped."
"Yes, it's much cheaper than the time and space gate you changed. I didn't expect it to be so magical, but it's ironic that I don't want to live anymore."
A man who wants to die has acquired the skill of immortality, which is indeed ironic to Ted.
"This is a shady situation that is unintentional. Maybe it is God's will. If you commit suicide successfully, today's conversation will not happen. If I didn't talk to you, I wouldn't know where I was wrong."
"No, what you said is wrong. If you knew you had made a mistake a few years ago when you went out of the game field, how could you fail later? After listening to me, you went out to redeem the time and space gate."
"Not this time."
"But if you don't redeem the time and space gate, then I shouldn't know that you redeem it now, it's contrary."
"I don't know how to explain it to you. I am not a scientist, I can only tell you my personal experience. I came from another time and space. People from another time and space traveled back to the past and changed history. Therefore, the original time and space and the changed time and space overlapped together, merged into a new time and space, and I combined two time and space into one. The difference between me and others is that I remember the things that were born in another time and space, and I don't remember the things that are born in this time and space, but the body is from this time and space, and I have no original ability."
Ted heard me say a long passage and his brows gradually frowned, "Okay, I still don't understand, but if you think it's possible, try it, no matter how bad it is."
"Actually, I don't understand. These poor theories come from science fiction movies and personal experiences, but it doesn't matter. Don't think too much about it."
Ted suddenly smiled. It was rare for this smile to appear on his sad face. I don’t know much about depression, only knowing that it is a very serious mental illness.
"Have you ever seen a psychologist?" I asked casually like chatting.
"There is no psychologist." Ted glanced at the suicide note on the table. "There is only one GP, I don't know if he is still alive."
The lack of doctors and the medical conditions are probably not very good. Once the survivors get sick, they can only leave it to fate.
"Where are those gamers in the past, by the way, I met Aunt Tao just now, did she win the game?"
"No, there is only one space castle. After the game, eleven people maintained a normal mental state, but there was only one prize. Our team was still very powerful, especially Chanjuan--" Ted said this, suddenly stopped with a painful expression.
I guess something must be happening when Li Chanjuan was competing for us for the prize. Ted silent for two seconds, suddenly looked at me with a burning look and said:
"You can save her, yes, don't let her die with those people. She has strong explosives on her body. Remember to search her after going back."
"Okay, I remember." I agreed, but I wondered in my heart. If the conversation between Ted and I mentioned this today, why didn't I stop Li Chanjuan at the end of the game?
The unreal feeling surged in my heart again. I glanced at Ted, but unfortunately I couldn't see anything strange from him.
If I am trapped in the vicious cycle of the future and the past, I don’t know how many brain cells will die, whether this world is real. When the game is over, I will search for whether there is explosives on Li Chanjuan’s body.
"You just said, you met Aunt Tao, where are she?" After Ted got my promise, he turned to Aunt Tao.
"I don't know, she wants me to go and cheat other players with her, so I refuse."
"The selling point of this game is to make players mentally collapse, but so far, neither of you has been doing well, so the game will definitely increase the difficulty."
"Anyway, we won in the end. Even if the difficulty is increased, it is within my tolerance. It's okay."
Ted stood up and walked to the window, looked down at the street under the tower, where people came and went, and people lived a relatively peaceful life, but under the appearance of comfort, many people no longer had hope for the future, such as the little boy selling old electrical appliances and Ted.
What else is more desperate than the situation in front of me? Although I said it was okay, I actually felt a little bit in my heart
