The wind blew up, and the clouds in the sky kept changing in various shapes.
The world is like white clouds and dogs, changing and changing.
The library of the villa.
There was still faint blue smoke from the muzzle of the gun.
There was a bullet hole in the wall.
There was a bloodstain on Chen Rui's scalp, and a few strands of hair were scattered, but that's all.
Chen Rui looked at Athena in surprise. Athena's hand was holding his hand holding the gun high. It was this sudden movement that made the shot miss just now.
Elusil also seemed to be stunned, no one would have expected such a result.
A shot that decides fate is equal to being shot empty, the only bullet.
There was still a one-third chance of success, but now it is tantamount to completely losing hope of success.
Chen Rui's mind went blank, and it took him a long time to react. When he let go, the gun fell to the ground.
"Why?" Chen Rui smiled bitterly, looking at Athena.
Tears slowly rolled down Athena's eyes: "I don't know who you are, and what happened. But life is so precious, why do you have to die? Why can't you all live strong?"
Chen Rui sighed: "Even for a scum like me, you don't want me to die?"
"Although I don't know what happened to you, my eyes and my heart tell me that you are not a scumbag. I don't want anyone to die, including you."
Brave, kind and even a little impulsive, she is vaguely still the same. Chen Rui was slightly startled, staring at Athena, and slowly took the hand she had raised with his backhand, and placed it on his heart.
Athena trembled slightly, but did not resist.
"It turns out that I was wrong. You have the ego and persistence unique to life. You are a real existence, no, not only you, but Ji Ya, Catherine...everyone." Chen Rui said later , I couldn't help but have a certain resonance in my heart, or it is called comprehension, and slowly closed my eyes.
Elusil didn't bother Chen Rui, and there was an unclear smile on the corner of his mouth.
"It's a warm feeling, a real warmth, a real Athena. I understand, Elusil, you didn't lie to me, this is a real world, the world reflected in my heart, maybe... everyone There is such a mirror world in every heart, and in this sense, it is a truly parallel existence.”
"What do you want to say?" Elusil's voice rang out, without the indifference before, it was a little ethereal.
Chen Rui slowly opened his eyes, let go of Athena's hand, and his eyes gradually became firm: "Now is the time for me to choose."
Elusil stared at Chen Rui: "Are you sure?"
"The three key points are all true, but they are all false. No matter which one I choose, I will sink." Chen Rui's eyes are no longer confused, only enlightened, and enlightened after experiencing life and death.
"Actually, the real key point, you already said it when we first met."
Aluciel laughed, laughed.
"Existence." Unlike before, these two words were spoken by Chen Rui now, with an inexplicable power, and the whole room seemed to tremble.
Chen Rui looked at Athena deeply: "What is in my heart is the real existence. Thank you for your existence, Athena."
Athena looked at those clear eyes that were shining with tears in surprise, and felt so strange, yet so familiar, that she even had an illusion... as if a long time ago, this man was her life-and-death promise spouse.
"The true meaning of life is not death or birth, nor destruction or creation, but existence." Chen Rui's body emitted a faint brilliance, and every time he uttered a word, the surrounding space began to blur.
"Chen Rui..." Athena was surprised to find that in her vision, what was blurry was not the surrounding world, but Chen Rui, whose body began to become thinner, as if it was some kind of phantom that was about to cease to exist in the world.
Not only Chen Rui, but also Elusil.
"What is this, a power of connection? Could it be... so, I finally understand!" While realizing it thoroughly, Chen Rui also comprehended another mystery of the mirror world, and couldn't help showing anger: "The so-called 'key point 'It is actually connected to the reality of another world, if I choose anyone to die, then relative to this world, the 'mirror image' of the other world will also die!"
"That's right, if you killed Athena or yourself just now, she and you in another world will also die, and this object also includes me." Elusil's voice and figure became more and more ethereal, "Now Do you regret not choosing to shoot me?"
"You don't even hesitate to risk your own life. It's really terrible!" Chen Rui said coldly: "I'm not sure what your purpose is, but what I can be sure of is that I won in the end."
"Yes, you won." Elusil shook his head, and suddenly said something that surprised Chen Rui, "I won too."
After speaking, under Athena's surprised gaze, the "principal" completely disappeared into thin air.
"I should go too. Athena." Chen Rui's body has become almost completely transparent.
"Where are you going!" Athena couldn't help asking. There was no hatred in her heart, only confusion, and in the confusion there were indescribable emotions. She didn't know why this happened, but she knew very well that this was the last time she saw this person. This man who is willing to destroy his own world to protect hers.
Or not for her, but another "her" who can't understand.
"Athena, if there is no other world to worry about, I really want to stay here and start everything with you. Now I am going back, there is another you, and our children. Take care..."
Athena saw the fading hand slowly brushing her face, and even though it finally passed through and disappeared without a trace, the tender feeling was still clear.
Tears came out involuntarily.
The surrounding space was changing and distorting rapidly, and finally, Chen Rui's blurred vision became clear again.
Finally, the distorted scene gradually returned to normal.
Chen Rui, who had regained his vision, already felt that in the galaxy of the super system, there was an incomparably powerful breath of life, which was almost ten times stronger than before!
Is it due to the comprehension just now
But he didn't have time to appreciate the new power carefully, because an even more shocking scene appeared in front of him.
In the void ahead, there is a huge male humanoid body floating.
Corpse!
Not so much a corpse as a dead galaxy.
More than one "corpse"! There are more in the distance!
Chen Rui couldn't help being horrified, this place turned out to be... the most mysterious realm of chaos
With Chen Rui's current strength, even in the face of such an existence as the Great Elementalist, he can remain calm, but he cannot remain calm in front of this corpse that has lost its vitality.
Why did you come back to this place after returning from that world
Wait a minute, something's wrong. Although they are indeed these corpses, they don't have the feeling of real vastness at the beginning, more like... phantoms
Did you just break free from a mirror world and fall into another similar "world"
Now being able to enter the super system without any data or alarms shows that it is not the kind of mirror world that is almost unsolvable, but an ordinary phantom that is not dangerous.
While Chen Rui was thinking, he suddenly felt a change in the surrounding space, with faint cracks appearing, and the eyes of the nearest corpse slowly opened!
Not only this one, but the others also opened their eyes one after another.
Although he already knew that these were just phantoms, this scene still shocked Chen Rui. After all, these are the most terrifying existences.
The moment he opened his eyes, the whole scene was trembling, and Chen Rui felt a chill run down his spine. If he really faced this "corpse", just this kind of look would cause his soul to be severely damaged.
How powerful this is!
The "corpses" not only opened their eyes, but also stood up one after another, but the posture of standing up was a bit weird.
After getting up, the "corpse" opened its mouth and roared. The sound alone deepened the cracks in the space countless times, and a vacuum similar to that caused by the "Dimension of Nirvana" appeared, but it was so powerful that I don't know how many times stronger.
Although the power was extremely astonishing, Chen Rui faintly felt that something was wrong. At this time, the face of the corpse showed a frightened and even desperate expression, as if it was feeling something terrible.
This kind of almost invincible existence is actually afraid? What is he (she) afraid of
There are certain things coming from all directions towards the void above the head. The speed is quite fast. With Chen Rui's eyesight, he can only vaguely see a trace of shape. It seems that those things are somewhat familiar!
Several streams of light gathered together to form a special overall object, and then quickly blurred and disappeared. At the same time, a huge outline resembling an eye opened in the void.
The "eyes" became clear from gradually blurred, without pupils, just a simple shape, with endless emptiness inside, Chen Rui just took a look, and felt that the whole soul was shaking involuntarily, as if to come out of the body, The whole spirit and body faintly showed signs of collapse in an instant, and I couldn't help being shocked.
Chen Rui felt a strong sense of suffocation and depression—this is still a pure illusion. If he really faced the "eyes", he would be completely annihilated before even his thoughts came into being.
Cracks appeared faintly on the huge body with dim light, the cracks became clearer, and the body shape became clearer, and one could see the star-like light inside, and these starlights seemed to be quickly absorbed by something.
It's "eyes"!
Is it this "eye" with indescribable power that those huge bodies fear
Strangely, the bodies of these giants seem to be recovering quickly? The cracks on his body disappeared, and even his expression...
The awkward feeling in Chen Rui's heart became more and more intense, and he suddenly came to his senses, it turned out to be like this!
