As the sun sets, the resort, which had always been static, changes.
The leaves suspended in the air swayed gently, and the sound of the wind reappeared in everyone's ears.
The originally frozen scene began to shake.
However, the shaking of these objects was very illogical. The leaves did not fall to the ground, but it was as if time was flowing backwards.
Everything seemed to have been put in reverse, except for the moon rising overhead as usual.
As the scenery receded, something slowly emerged from the ground.
Suddenly, Elizabeth's screams were heard from behind. They turned around and saw that Elizabeth's ankles were entangled by a black snake that had crawled out from under her feet.
Elizabeth screamed, kicked the black snake away, and jumped to the side in panic.
Soon after, more and more black snakes emerged from the ground like mushrooms after rain.
They coiled densely at everyone's feet, constantly twisting their dark bodies, as if they were looking for something.
Elizabeth and the others' faces turned pale with fright. The three of them huddled together in panic and hid behind Baili Xin and the others who seemed still calm.
Emil couldn't help but complain as he looked at the changes around him: "Isn't the movie playing in reverse now? Baili Xin, hurry up and find a solution. I don't want to go to this damn place again."
Hongyue pointed in the direction of the back garden and said, "Look, the statue of the Virgin Mary has appeared!"
When Bailixin and Emil looked up, they saw a statue of the Virgin Mary rising from the ground in the upside-down back garden, with wet mud still covering the top of the statue's head.
But beside the statue of the Virgin Mary, countless black snakes seemed to have received some call and scrambled to coil around the statue. Their tails were wrapped around the statue, their heads were facing outwards, and they stared at the surroundings with a fierce look.
Emil swallowed and said, "What should I do?"
Hong Yue: "Never mind, go over there first, I'll cover you!"
As she spoke, she made a motion of pumping something in the air, which looked a little weird because she was pumping out the air and loneliness.
"Oh my god," Hongyue put down her hands awkwardly, "I can't take out the items and weapons in my backpack."
Emil: "... Sister Niu, did you just realize it?"
He tried it as soon as the system was turned on. Although he could see the system interface, the backpack function could not be activated.
"It should be the limitation of the movie, just like if modern weapons appeared in the ancient background, it would be very inconsistent." Emil guessed and asked Xiang Hongyue, "Then Sister Niu, will you still cover us?"
Hongyue: “…”
I'm breaking my loneliness.
She looked around and suddenly looked at Baili Xin: "Baili Xin, where is the boss?"
There were only three of them from the beginning. When the boss was looking for the passage, he went out with Baili Xin, but now only Baili Xin came back.
Baili Xin: "He will be here in a while."
As he was speaking, there was a sudden violent shaking between heaven and earth. Along with this violent shaking, the ground in the direction of the apple orchard began to crack rapidly, and a pitch-black object stretched out from it.
Hongyue: "What the hell is that? What an ugly sheep."
Emil: "Is there a possibility that it is the boss?"
“Ah! Ah!”
The screams rang out again. Hongyue looked in the direction of the sound and saw Elizabeth and the other two being surrounded by black snakes. The black snakes were scrambling to wrap around them.
"Save us." Mr. Nick desperately pushed the black snake down, his pupils trembling and his face pale.
Elizabeth and the actor weren't in much better shape.
The actor quickly kicked off the black snake on his body and pulled Elizabeth up the stairs to avoid the black snake's attack.
Seeing this, Mr. Nick hurriedly followed.
For some unknown reason, when they saw the three people leaving, the black snakes quickly followed them and chased them relentlessly.
Seeing the black snake catching up with them again, Baili Xin pinched the baby who had been quiet in his arms.
A sharp pain suddenly came, and the baby looked at Baili Xin in disbelief. His round face deflated and he cried violently as if to vent his anger.
A loud sound instantly pierced the sky, and both the black snake and the black sheep stopped moving as if the pause button had been pressed.
Baili Xin did not hesitate. While the monster was paused, he rushed out like a ghost and rushed towards the statue of the Virgin Mary.
Everything stood still for just a second.
A second later, all the monsters roared angrily towards the sky as if they had gone crazy.
The deafening sound soon drowned out the baby's crying, and all the monsters chased after Baili Xin as if they were possessed by a demon.
However, in just one or two seconds, Baili Xin had already rushed behind the statue of the Virgin Mary.
When he opened the secret compartment behind the statue of the Virgin Mary, the black snakes followed him.
They entangled themselves around Baili Xin's body, with one wasp after another rushing towards him.
In the time it took to open the secret compartment, Baili Xin was submerged in the swarm of black snakes.
Baili Xin pursed his lips, held the baby high in one hand, and pulled away the black snake in front of him with the other hand.
Just as there were more and more black snakes, two other different hands joined in.
Hongyue changed her usual carefree attitude and dug the snake with both hands like a groundhog, cursing as she dug, "It's only because I believe in Buddhism now, otherwise I would take all of you back and make wine for you to drink every day."
Emil was shocked at Hongyue's digging speed: "But why is it for the president to drink?"
Hongyue's expression changed slightly: "Well, children don't need to know about adult matters. Baili Xin, you... forget it, you don't need it."
Baili Xin: "..."
I really would thank you.
Emil took two seconds to react and finally realized what Hongyue said. His fingers trembled slightly and were almost bitten by the black snake: "."
I am Sister Hong in society.
____________________________
In the cinema, several people sat on red chairs, looking at the huge screen nervously.
Now there is only the last scene playing on the screen. After receiving hints from Baili Xin, the others found the passage one after another and left the movie world.
Hong Yue's words came without warning into the ears of several people, and they immediately looked at Song Yuantian tacitly, with expressions of scrutiny and thoughtfulness.
President Song looks so pale, is it really possible that he is not okay
Although, Hongyue was really worried about her boyfriend.
Song Yuantian's eyes flickered. After taking in everyone's gazes, he silently opened the private chat window.
Song Yuantian: Red moon!
_____________________________
Hong Yue in the movie looked blank for a moment, and Song Yuantian received a private message.
Hongyue: What’s wrong, Tiantian.
Song Yuantian's pale cheeks flushed with embarrassment: We are all out, only you are missing. Now we are all in the cinema watching you pass the level.
Hongyue: That’s great. We should be there soon. Wait for me, baby. I’ll come out to find you soon.
Song Yuantian's expression became more and more ashamed: That's not what I meant. We can see your movie footage now, so please pay attention.
The Hongyue in the movie suddenly looked up and looked around: Oh, I see, you want me to be more restrained.
Song Yuantian coughed lightly: Hmm.
Hongyue: I understand. I’ll pay attention to it.
Song Yuantian paused, then blushed and sent another message to Hongyue: Um, sister, do you really think...I need to drink snake wine
He felt a little guilty.
Hongyue: Snake wine nourishes yin and yang. You have been in such poor health over the years that I almost didn't recognize you. Tiantian used to be so cute and had a fair and tender face. Of course I hope you can return to your previous health.
Song Yuantian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second he became nervous again: Oh, so that's how it is. Um, do I look ugly now? Will my sister dislike it? Sister, I have really been taking good care of my body recently, eating on time and sleeping on time without insomnia.
Please don't dislike me, sister.
What are you talking about? Hongyue's message came quickly. How could I dislike you? I feel sorry for you. Have you really had a good rest recently? I will check it carefully when I return to the game hall. If I find that you are lying, I will punish you.
Song Yuantian's eyes flickered and he quietly replied: Okay, I got it, sister, please be safe, I'll wait for you to come out.
Hongyue: Be good every day.
Three people and five hands finally used all their strength to open up a small space at the entrance of the cave.
At this time, the three people were almost buried by the black snake.
Baili Xin was quick-witted and quick-handed. He seized the hard-earned gap and stuffed the crying baby in the cradle into it without hesitation.
The moment they were stuffed in, the three of them were buried by the black snake at the same time.
The air was still again.
The once beautiful back garden has now become a paradise for black snakes.
Everywhere you look, you can see winding black snakes, like a black ocean.
The three people submerged in the black ocean were motionless, and their figures were even lost in the picture.
Song Yuantian and the others in front of the movie anxiously jumped up from their chairs, and Xia Chi shouted angrily at the owner of the cinema: "Where are the people?!"
The old man tapped the ground with the end of his cane and praised, "It's great that they can get here. They could have left safely if they had found a passage, but they insisted on taking a dead end and wanted to destroy this world."
"They want to dig up people's ancestral graves, and no one will let them do that."
"This is not only a lesson for them, but also a warning to others who come after them."
“Don’t expect things that are beyond your ability.”
Lin Jue: "Bullshit, would the woman our president likes be so easily ignored? I think you are the one who overestimates your own abilities. Stupid old thing, it seems that you really don't know that when we humans become scary, we can sometimes be even more terrifying than monsters."
Suddenly there was an explosion in the movie, drawing everyone's attention to the movie.
In the movie, an angel with eight large wings came in the moonlight. He was suspended in the air, flapping his powerful wings.
With each flap of the angel's wings, the black snakes on the ground were blown away one by one, and the three buried people gradually appeared on the screen.
The angel let Baili Xin grab his neck, and then grabbed another with each hand, and easily carried the three people away from the pile of black snakes.
As he flew toward the roof, the angel apologized patiently, "Sorry, I'm late."
Baili Xin: "Done?"
Angel: "Yeah, I came right back after I finished it."
Emile didn't understand what the two were talking about: "What are you doing?"
At this moment, the angel landed on the roof.
Standing on the high roof, Emile saw a fire rising into the sky in the distance. The flames were rolling with green and thick smoke, licking up everything in their path, turning it into a bloody ocean.
Hong Yue was dumbfounded: "Angels setting fire to the mountain? Is this what angels should do?"
After that, she looked around blankly, found an angle that she thought was the camera angle, and said seriously: "Dear viewers, a friendly reminder, setting fire to the mountains is wrong. Protecting the safety of natural property is protecting our lives and health. All acts of burning fires are rejected. Especially children, don't imitate it."
"At a critical moment, no matter how small the matter is," the angel said seriously, "I burned down the cemetery, so those souls should be free."
Baili Xin stared at the fire in the distance with deep eyes: "Thank you for your hard work."
"You burned my cemetery." The black sheep finally found something wrong. It turned around a few times anxiously. Its fat body was very flexible. It rushed towards the people like a meteor hammer. "Assholes, cunning humans, I will eat you!"
As the black sheep was rushing towards this side, in the back garden where the black snake was lurking, a baby's cry that could shake the sky was heard again.
And this time, his voice could no longer be easily covered up by anything.
All the conditions were met, and with the appearance of variables, the black sheep suddenly fell to the ground in pain.
The black snakes also lost their strength and became motionless one after another.
This was probably the easiest win they've ever had.
The black sheep's scarlet eyes looked up at the sky angrily, as if it was looking through the sky at another existence.
It stretched out its hand in despair, and uttered a final, unwilling resentment: "Father God."
"Why? There was nothing wrong with the Garden of Eden, yet you want to bring this sin upon the Garden of Eden?"
"The guilty ones are Samael, Adam and Eve."
"I just want all the lives living in the Garden of Eden to be happy."
"Father God, Father God, Father God."
"I just want to create a truly pure land, why do I always go wrong?"
"I'm doing this for the good of the human race."
"Samael is not wrong, Adam and Eve are not wrong, and of course you were not wrong in the beginning." Baili Xin half-crouched on the roof, "You just have different starting points of interests, so naturally you can't empathize with each other.
"The fruit they ate was called the Fruit of Wisdom. Although they were punished to leave the Garden of Eden, the fruit gave them broad minds and rich emotions. If you think about it carefully, you can actually infer that after eating the Fruit of Wisdom, it was obviously difficult for them to accept the life of being two caged birds in the Garden of Eden. Because of that fruit, they created the human family."
"Humans have joys and sorrows, anger and sadness, selfishness and fearlessness. They are not like the flowers and plants in the Garden of Eden, where green is green. You want to imprison the complex human beings who yearn for freedom and challenges again. This is a regression for humanity, and you are a villain who destroys humanity."
"The pure land you built in the name of 'for the good of humanity' with a mind that was filled with hatred from the beginning was not pure from the beginning, big brother."
The black sheep lay limply on the ground, unable to speak. It glared at Baili Xin and squeezed out four words: "You know shit."
"...", Hongyue, "Do you want me to go down and help you beat it up?"
Looking at the gradually cloudy pupils of the black sheep, Baili Xin shook his head: "No need, it's almost dead."
The actions of the black sheep behind indeed proved Baili Xin's words. It looked up at Baili Xin unwillingly, and its dull eyes slowly closed.
Just when everyone thought that the black sheep was about to die, its blood-red pupils suddenly opened, and it used all its strength to soar into the air, rushing straight towards Baili Xin.
The crowd didn't even have time to react and could only watch the black sheep's body suddenly enlarge.
In front of the screen, the movie theater owner looked at what was happening on the screen excitedly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise: "Hehe, hehe."
"That's what makes watching a movie exciting. The twists and turns in the finale always happen unexpectedly, but they still give the audience a pleasant surprise."
Suddenly, his smile froze.
On the huge screen, the skinny-looking young man easily placed his hand on the black sheep's head. The black sheep was instantly blocked at an arm's length away, unable to move forward at all.
A laugh suddenly rang in the ears of the cinema owner, "Haha, the cinema owner is worthy of being the boss. It's just like what you said. The reversal of the ending always happens inadvertently, but it makes us shine."
Lin Jue looked down at the cinema owner with an evil look on his face, gloating, "I've said it before, don't underestimate these people. Oh, I should say you shouldn't underestimate these people here, now you know you're stupid, right?"
____________________________
Studio.
When these guys get together, I often wonder who is the boss.
Me too... This old man in the cinema is so pitiful.
I am dying of laughter at Emile's suggestion. Is this a good reminder? It is like engraving garden protection into our DNA.
Humph, after all, the firefighter uncle is good at popularizing science, and we are all little guards of fire protection and environmental protection.
____________________________
A trace of fear flashed in the black sheep's pupils. The next second, Hongyue and Emil, who were standing on both sides of Baili Xin, also reacted. They pressed the black sheep on the roof and started beating and kicking him.
If it were any other time, the Black Sheep would definitely not be so weak, but now the Black Sheep has lost most of its strength because of the baby's crying, and is now like a catfish on the chopping board.
Others are the butchers and I am the meat.
At this moment, it suddenly felt the pain of being forced to accept.
It looked at the people in front of it helplessly, and with a final reluctance, it slowly disappeared into the air.
As the black sheep disappeared, the black snakes lurking underneath also disappeared one after another.
With the disappearance of these monsters, the back garden that once seemed like a paradise finally revealed its true face.
Dead grass grew everywhere, and the land was barren.
Where is the apple orchard with golden trees, where is the rose garden
It's all an illusion.
As far as the eye can see, there is wilderness.
"Oh my god, the white jade stone is gone!"
"Where are those golden walls? Why are they gone too?"
“And those out-of-print portraits are all gone too!”
Elizabeth and others exclaimed from the ground.
The four of them looked at each other, and the angel flapped its wings again, slowly bringing them back to the ground.
The voice of the system appeared in Baili Xin's mind at this time.
Ding! Congratulations to player Baili Xin for breaking the curse of the Garden of Eden. After the curse is broken, everything here returns to normal, and the player's backpack and props can now be used freely.
Ding! Friendly reminder: There are 30 minutes left before the end of the movie. Please find a passage to leave as soon as possible, otherwise the player will be trapped in the movie forever.
It wasn't just the back garden that became desolate, the entire resort had also changed its appearance.
The huge white jade fountain that used to be located in front of the building had already been covered with yellow dead grass. The fountain had long been dry, so how could there be any water
Its material is not priceless white jade, but the most common marble. After years of baptism, the marble has long been broken into pieces.
The gate and the hotel were covered with creepers and dead vines. The metal gate had long been rusted and hung crookedly on the latch.
The time and space reversal has disappeared, and everything has returned to its truest state.
Baili Xin walked to the back garden and came to the statue of the Virgin Mary.
Just as he was about to reach out and take the baby out, he saw a hand the size of a five or six-year-old child reaching out from inside.
Then comes the second hand.
Soon, a little boy about five or six years old crawled out using his hands and feet.
There were traces of tears on his round face, and tears were faintly flashing in his brown pupils.
The naked little boy looked up at Baili Xin. They locked eyes for two seconds, then he sniffed again in grievance and called out, "Mom."
Baili Xin: "..."
It was like a bolt from the blue.
Being called "Dad" by a dumpling is enough, but now he is being treated as a male mother
For a moment I couldn't tell whether I was here to pass the level or to adopt a child.
After staring at each other for several seconds, Baili Xin finally found her voice: "I'm not your mother."
The little boy tilted his head, his expression ignorant and innocent.
Obviously, although his body has grown to this size, his thinking is still at the infant stage.
I am not his parent, but I can't just leave the child here, right
Baili Xin took off his coat and put it on the little boy, then picked him up and returned to the hotel entrance.
The hotel was now completely dark. The originally exquisite stained glass windows had long been broken, and the ordinary marble walls also had countless cracks and mottled marks of the baptism of time.
Without the blessing of money, this overly large space is now gloomy and terrifying.
Everyone stood at the door and no one went in.
Emir: "Oh no, we just forgot about Samael."
Hongyue: "I just said that I felt like something was missing."
Emil glanced toward the dark corridor and said, "I'll go check on him."
As he said this, Emil was about to rush in.
Hongyue was quick to grab Emile who was about to rush forward, staring seriously at the dark corridor: "Wait, listen, there are footsteps."
Emile's foot, which was originally raised in the air, suddenly froze. He held his breath and pricked up his ears, and indeed he heard the footsteps that Hongyue had mentioned.
It was pitch black in front of my eyes and I couldn't see anything clearly.
You can only hear the sound but not see its shape.
Tap tap.
Tap tap.
Tap tap.
At the end of the darkness, the crisp sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground came rhythmically, one after another, silently hitting everyone's forehead like a pendulum.
Elizabeth stammered, "What, who? Shouldn't this be over? Are there other monsters?"
Emile and Hongyue looked at each other and looked warily into the depths of the corridor.
The footsteps are getting closer.
Moonlight poured in through the broken window frame, and gradually, a leg appeared in the moonlight.
Elizabeth and the others all tensed their bodies and looked at the leg tremblingly.
Next comes the second leg.
It was not until the owner of the legs stood completely under the moonlight that Emil and Hongyue were stunned.
The owner of the legs was bathed in the moonlight, his golden hair tinged with a faint misty white light. He simply waved at the few people and said hello: "Hi, long time no see."
Emir: "Samael!"
Samael's eyes were deep and cold. He curled the corners of his lips slightly and slowly walked in front of the few people.
Hongyue looked at Samael thoughtfully.
This should be her first time dealing with Samael face to face. She did not have any communication with Samael in the zombie copy, but she still wanted to thank Samael.
Red Moon: "Samael, hello, I am Red Moon. Thank you for throwing the cloak to me."
Samael's gaze was always cold and indifferent, as if he looked at everyone the same.
He glanced at Hongyue and said in a deep bass voice, "It's just a small favor. No need to thank me."
Hongyue's eyes lit up: "So you are the bass cannon, your voice is quite nice. By the way, how did you suddenly recover?"
Samael: "I was trapped in a cycle, and the torture I suffered was caused by the cycle. Now the cycle is broken, and my power is restored. This is it."
"Actually, it's the other way around. You shouldn't be the one thanking me, but I should be thanking you guys."
"Thank you for your help, Miss Hongyue."
Then Samael looked at Emir with complicated eyes.
At this time, Emil had curled up into a ball and hid quietly behind Hongyue.
He lowered his eyes to the ground, like a mouse seeing a cat.
The smile on Samael's face widened a little, and he called out softly, "Emir."
Emil suddenly shuddered, his eyes suddenly raised, his eyes flickered, and he began to confess in a trembling voice: "Samael, listen to my explanation. I tied your hair for a reason, listen to my explanation."
"Heh," Samael looked down at Emir and chuckled, not revealing Emir's disguise of weakness. "Okay, I'll listen to your explanation. Take your time. We have plenty of time. Don't be in a hurry."
"… ", Emil was speechless for a moment. After a few seconds, he squeezed out a sentence with a fearless attitude, "Well, I'm sorry. But don't forget, I saved you."
So you can't scare me.
He raised his head and his eyes met Emil's blue eyes.
Those eyes were looking at him quietly, as deep as the ocean. He looked at them twice and quickly looked away, as if he would drown in them if he continued looking.
Samael didn't say much, but whispered, "I know. Thank you, Emir, for saving me with all your heart and for taking care of me."
"When this is done, you'll be free."
Emil was stunned.
He lowered his head and bit the corner of his lip.
Ever since Samael discovered his true identity and threatened him to become Samael's younger brother, he has been looking forward to his freedom all the time.
But now that he heard Samael say this with his own mouth, why did he suddenly feel empty inside
Samael looked behind him over Amir's shoulder and saw Baili Xin and the angel coming towards him from afar. His eyes flashed for a moment and then he strode towards Baili Xin.
When he came to Baili Xin, he glanced at Baili Xin and the angel's faces several times before he said solemnly: "Thank you both for your help. Without you, this place would not have returned to its former peace."
Samael's eyes fell on the child in Perisin's arms, "Give this child to me. He does not belong to the Garden of Eden, nor to the outside world. I will raise him."
"Aren't you going back with us?" Emile suddenly turned his head and asked the question without thinking. After asking it, he was stunned.
Yes, if I don’t go back, no one will bother me anymore.
Why does he care so much whether he goes back or not
Is he crazy
Samael took the child from Bailixin and turned to look at Emir meaningfully: "You want me to go back?"
Emile froze in his place, unsure of how to respond.
Samael sighed softly, "I don't belong to your world. Let's talk about it later. This child's parents are both dead. Right now I need to raise this child to adulthood. If I still have a chance, I will come to you again."
Emil: “…”
"Don't worry," Samael explained, "my wish has been fulfilled. I will no longer tie you to my side like before. Don't be afraid."
Emil still didn't speak: "..."
I'm not afraid.
Seeing that Emil remained silent, Samael did not force him to do anything. He just sighed silently and turned to look at Bailixin: "Have you not found the way out of the movie yet?"
Baili Xin: "Yes, do you have any clues to give us?"
Samael: "The last time I left, we left through the water in the fountain. The water reflected the moon, and we left through the reflection. But now there is no water in the fountain."
Hongyue: "If it's a reflection, can a mirror work without water?"
Everyone looked up at the moon in the sky thoughtfully. Samael said, "We can try. Do you have a mirror? Or we can go into the hotel and look for it. There should be some mirrors left here."
"No need, I have one." Hongyue took out a mirror from her backpack and placed it on the fountain, finding the right angle to project the reflection of the moon into the mirror.
After doing all this, she looked up and saw everyone's slightly surprised expressions. She frowned slightly and said, "I am a girl. Girls all love beauty. Is it okay to put a mirror in my backpack?"
Emil: “…”
You are a girl? You are obviously the queen, okay
Samael carried the little boy to the mirror, and the others followed. Seeing the obviously different reflections in the mirror, Samael said, "That's right, this is the passage. You don't have much time left. You should leave quickly."
Elizabeth and the others also came over, and Elizabeth said happily: "That's great, we can finally leave this damn place."
Her short words instantly attracted the attention of Baili Xin and the others.
Elizabeth was at a loss as she instantly became the focus of everyone's attention. She hesitated and said, "You, you are not going to abandon us and leave by yourselves, are you?"
"Look at the fire outside. If you leave us here, won't you just watch the three of us burn to death?"
"Take us away quickly, please."
The male actor also said: "Yes, I have a movie to shoot next month, please take me with you."
Baili Xin and the others looked at each other for a moment, and Hong Yue said in a deep voice: "You three, haven't you realized it yet?"
The three of them were at a loss: "Realized what?"
Hongyue: "You three died a long time ago."
