Chapter 376: Chapter 370: Seeing the Light, Falling into Darkness (Part 3)

The head said irritably, “I can’t undo it. You really don’t believe me, do you?”

Su Changxing couldn’t help but say, “Because even in death, you’re a liar. I’m definitely being deceived by you somewhere; I just haven’t discovered it yet.”

The head was silent for a long time before slowly saying:

“Kid, have you ever wondered why we can so easily bind a Life Contract?”

A sharp light flashed in Su Changxing’s eyes, and he asked, “Why?”

The head chuckled, raising its tone to retort, “The great True Knower has told you. Haven’t you noticed how similar we are, apart from my current appearance…?”

True Knower?

The scene of their first meeting was vividly in Su Changxing’s mind…

The head was placed on a table, eyes glowing red, and arrogantly said:

“That’s right, I’m just a head now, but I’m not a zombie, I’m the great True Knower, an insight into everything’s existence, a pioneer of world rules, the greatest Saint.”

True Knower.

Pioneer.

Saint.

….

Su Changxing was suddenly shocked to realize, aren’t these the titles the system granted him for various things?

Could there really be such a coincidence?

Or has everything already been destined?

He couldn’t figure it out and asked, “Why? Why is there such a coincidence? Who are you!”

The head laughed, “As expected of you, you noticed so quickly, that extraordinary sharpness, truly terrifying. Who do you think I am?”

Su Changxing remained silent, not voicing his thoughts, which seemed absurd. Nothing could be more absurd than this.

Ha, does the head want him to die with his eyes closed?

Truly an excessive mockery.

The head laughed heartily, a laugh that sounded like making fun of someone, before finally saying:

“Yes, my original name should be Su Changxing, the Su from Fusu, the Chang from long or short, and the Xing from fortunate.”

Su Changxing’s consciousness was gradually enveloped in darkness, yet he insisted on asking:

“Why, what’s going on, tell me.”

With a sense of sentimentality, the head’s tone became normal, speaking in a voice identical to Su Changxing’s, with a gentle tone, saying:

“We’re essentially the same person, but perhaps not. You could say we were identical up to a certain point in time. More accurately, I have experienced everything you have experienced before you came here.”

“We share half of our lives, but the other half is completely different. I have lived hundreds of years longer than you. If not for seeing you, I might not even remember those memories.”

“I lost a lot of memories, but that not-so-long period was retained. Perhaps you don’t find it beautiful, but for me, it was the most beautiful time.”

The head’s tone became strange, vaguely choking, and continued:

“But I completely don’t understand why you made entirely different choices from mine… This isn’t right… This is so not right… I know what kind of person I was then.”

Su Changxing’s mouth curled into a slight smile:

“Have you considered that perhaps your existence changed me? You probably didn’t have a chatty head following you at that time.”

“I thought about it, without you, I wouldn’t have reached this point, perhaps I wouldn’t die, but I would definitely be defeated.”

“Isn’t it possible that what I’m doing is what you always wanted to do, so you’ve been influencing me to do this, though you keep voicing your opposition, your attitude isn’t firm?”

“Ha, is it possible that this is all a dream before your death? I’ve heard people say that one might dream before dying, living a completely different life.”

“Is it possible that this is all my dream before death…”

“Is it possible…”

Su Changxing held a cigarette in his mouth and closed his eyes completely.

Zhu Wenwu’s body shuddered, sensing something was wrong with Su Changxing’s status on his back. He wanted to quicken his pace but feared disturbing the surrounding monsters.

He widened his eyes, held his breath, and stepped quickly outward, his spirit stretched to the limit, his physical strength rapidly declining under infinite pressure, the monsters in front of him creating overlapping images.

He seemed about to fail as well…

He kept telling himself repeatedly to get out, to get out; if he fell once again, it would truly be over.

He always didn’t care much about winning or losing, but this time, he didn’t want to lose.

Another explosion resounded, and a massive flow of fire gathered on the iron tower, forming a towering fireball, dispersing the white ash falling around.

The temperature of the entire Energy Station was rising dramatically, and the immense energy threw the surrounding environment into chaos.

Some weaker monsters completely collapsed on the ground, while others began to scatter.

No monster noticed the humanoid “monster” running among them.

The fire spread to various parts of the Energy Station, flames igniting all flammable materials, and the air temperature becoming suffocating, continuously scorching the throat.

Zhu Wenwu felt a throbbing pain in his throat and realized he must increase his speed, fearing that the gigantic fire on the iron tower would explode at any moment.

It was like racing against time.

He ran faster and faster, fortunately having already memorized the route on their way here and cleared out many monsters, so there was almost no obstruction on the way back.

He started running at full speed, only the wind swirling by his ears.

The air was suddenly sucked up, molasses-like flames began to contract, causing the space to ripple, and the clouds in the sky parted around the iron tower, revealing the azure sky.

“Boom~”

“Boom~”

“Boom~”

….

Zhu Wenwu reached the gates, his ears ringing instantly, the heatwave from the explosion lifting him, sending him flying through the air, shooting him far away.

He was like a wave in the ocean, except everything around him was scorching, his skin becoming charred.

He still tightly grasped Su Changxing as they soared through the sky, thinking about how to land successfully.

This seemed to be a high-difficulty technical problem.
