Chapter 1964: After the Rewind, Love You Again 40

Jin Chen suddenly seemed to recall something, turned sideways to look at the string space, snapped his fingers, and transmitted the sound into it.

"Forgot to tell you, the monsters here are cultivated in reverse from the fear factors implanted in your players' brains."

"Absolutely terrifying, absolutely thrilling."

The string space suddenly tightened, forming a palm-sized virtual ball that fell into Jin Chen's palm.

The survivors stood up, finally feeling the game's end, and hot tears welled up uncontrollably.

Amidst the thanks, Jin Chen disconnected the last virtual space, severed the brain-machine interface, and sent them back to reality.

Jin Chen held Ruan Fu, Cheng Chuan dragged the unconscious Yun Zaozao, and they appeared in the empty lab.

Out of humanitarian spirit, Cheng Chuan endured and endured, but still didn't cast aside this accomplice.

"What should we do next, blow up this lab?" Cheng Chuan's blood boiled.

Jin Chen looked at him strangely, popularizing: "This is the seabed; it would trigger a tsunami."

What kind of person, not considering the safety of coastal residents at all.

Cheng Chuan lowered his head in shame: "... I forgot."

Ruan Fu steadied her floating steps, leaning on Jin Chen's shoulder, and whispered: "There's still something undone."

Ruan Fu looked up at Jin Chen: "Two years ago, I formally accepted the planning of the death game; the levels that Yun Zaozao and I handled... the core data of the dead players are stored."

"As long as it's released, they can be revived."

Cheng Chuan: "... Holy shit, you guys actually seem like good people!"

He immediately changed from carrying Yun Zaozao to supporting her.

Jin Chen's eyes twitched slightly: "Where?"

Ruan Fu still felt dizzy, weakly leaning in his embrace and pointed to a spot.

After personally witnessing Jin Chen and Cheng Chuan release the stored data, she finally felt at ease and collapsed back into Jin Chen's embrace.

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -10, total 30!】

Before consciousness faded, Ruan Fu anxiously tightened her grip on Jin Chen's arm, pressing against his lip and whispering: "Will you abandon me?"

But what she clearly wanted to say was: "Don't abandon me."

Jin Chen held her up, proving it with his actions.

The unease slightly faded, and Ruan Fu completely fainted.

Cheng Chuan sighed in admiration: "As it turns out, you big shots can even predict fainting in advance."

——

Ruan Fu didn't know how long she had been unconscious.

But in her hazy consciousness, her memory inexplicably flashed back to the Dusk Wooden House Instance.

Now thinking about it, that was her and Jin Chen's first meeting.

So Ruan Fu relaxed, letting her consciousness view the instance again from a third-person perspective.

The more she watched, the more she regretted not having noticed earlier the difference between Jin Chen and that person; they were clearly nothing alike.

People really can't empathize with their past selves.

Until late at night.

Ruan Fu personally saw herself stab Jin Chen once.

A bolt from the blue was nothing more than this.

Consciousness dazed and frozen, yet the next second it flashed back to before he acted.

This time Jin Chen covered his chest and gave a different answer.

But Jin Chen only said "I love you," just that.

Ruan Fu struggled in the nightmare, not wanting to continue watching.

No wonder……

No wonder after that person returned, Jin Chen kept suggesting to stab him a few more times.

Sweat drenched, painful struggle.

Two days later, in a hazy morning, Ruan Fu finally broke free from the nightmare and jolted awake.

Ruan Fu gazed at the drizzling rain curtain outside the window; her fingertip, dazed, retained the icy metallic sensation, her Adam's apple rolling as she swallowed the bloody sweet breath—that dagger had pierced Jin Chen's chest in just that way.

The bedside electronic clock showed eight in the morning.

The master bedroom was so quiet that one could hear the floor-to-ceiling window shattering in the rain, except for the sound he wanted to hear.

Ruan Fu's fingertip trembled; as her bare foot stepped on the cold wooden floor, her whole body still retained a light dazed feeling.

"Jin Chen……"

The anxious call echoed in the hallway outside the master bedroom.

No one responded.

Jin Chen doesn't want me anymore?

Ruan Fu gazed dazedly, her speculation suffocating her breath, nearly falling again.

A few minutes later, the light brain transmitted Jin Chen's location to Ruan Fu.

Jin Chen hadn't left; he was in the flower room, the place he frequented most.

Ruan Fu stumbled, pushing open the balcony door, yet froze in place.

Rain threads mixed with the morning wind blew in her face.

The second-floor balcony faced the glass flower room in the back garden; warm yellow light penetrated the rain curtain, reflecting two overlapping sitting silhouettes.

Ruan Fu gripped the railing, her knuckles emitting a crisp sound, and her retina was burned by that familiar person.

Yun Zaozao.

Ruan Fu turned and rushed into the rain curtain, the stabbing pain of bare feet on the pebble path making her nerve ends tremble wildly, constantly agitating her perilous emotions.

"Even if you hate me…"

Ruan Fu muttered, almost falling into a demonic obstacle, "I won't push you to anyone else."

That strike, I will repay.

The white roses in the flower house bloomed startlingly beautiful in the rain curtain.

Early in the morning, Jin Chen was exhausted to death, and only because of the last lingering Blackening Value did he agree to meet.

But what nonsense is this person spouting?

"I don't like you."

Jin Chen repeated it for the third time with a blank expression, his tone unchanging.

Yun Zaozao finally sighed, "Forget it…"

But I still don't understand: Ruan Fu and I did the same thing, even deceived you more deeply, so why… why do you treat him differently?

Jin Chen cut off Yun Zaozao's words: "I love him."

How can you compare yourself to my wife?

Yun Zaozao: "……"

Now I'm completely disheartened.

Yun Zaozao was about to rise when she suddenly saw Ruan Fu walking toward the flower house in the rain, and her heart stirred.

With the thought that she couldn't have it and couldn't let this rival gain it, Yun Zaozao smiled at Jin Chen and said, relieved, "All right."

May I have a final hug? Tomorrow I might leave the Empire.

Jin Chen sat unmoving in the rattan chair, "Not very convenient."

Don't even think of trapping me; this villa is under surveillance by the light brain.

The moment the flower house door was burst open.

Yun Zaozao plucked a white rose and placed it on the tea table, "Then this will be my gift to you… ah, Ruan Fu."

He was surprised, and his smile was especially evocative.

Jin Chen felt a chilly breath behind him: "……"

Sure enough, you're trying to trap me!
