this infinite world

"Name?"

"...Chu Hao."

"age?"

"…Twenty-three years old."

"gender?"

"……male."

"Your identity?"

"I am a member of the Rebel Organization, with an organizational management level of O6-3. I am a brother of O6-1, Ling Xin. We have known each other since we were in the orphanage when we were young. After the fire that destroyed the institute, I have been following Ling Xin and contributing my own strength to him..."

Looking at Yang Yun who was staring at him intently, Chu Hao, who was being interrogated like a prisoner, had a wry smile on his face. He raised his hand and rubbed his temple, and said helplessly: "Senior, this should be enough, right? This is the eighth time I have answered the same question."

"With your strength, you should know clearly that I am telling the truth without any rhetoric or lies... Is there really any meaning in such repeated conversations?"

If at the beginning Chu Hao was still in awe and trepidation about Yang Yun, who came across dimensions and could easily defeat Nian Xikong and rebuild his foundation, then after he was interrogated over and over again so many times, all of this turned into numb fatigue.

Every moment when answering the questions, Chu Hao felt that his mind was like an open book, allowing the other party to read and use it. Every inch of memory and every thought were ruthlessly dissected, leaving no room for wiggle room...

...But the question is, is Chu Hao really giving it his all?
Facing Yang Yun's questioning, Chu Hao almost adopted an attitude of "lying down and letting him fuck". In this situation, he had to be questioned so many times and was constantly being examined by Yang Yun... Chu Hao's heart was as hard as iron, and his will had been tempered like steel through countless choices and sacrifices. If it were someone else, he would have been mentally overwhelmed.

“…Stop making noise.”

But across from him, Yang Yun's condition seemed to be even worse. He had been calculating with his fingers since just now, but the more he calculated, the more confused he became: "You are not Ling Xin? How could you not be Ling Xin?"

"Senior, I have to remind you too... This is the eighth time you have said this." Chu Hao reminded with a wry smile.

"Of course I know...!"

At that moment, Yang Yun seemed to want to smash something, but gave up because he had nothing in his hands. After a long time, he could only utter: "Damn it, what is going on?" It's no wonder that Yang Yun doubted his life. After all, in his cognition, "protagonist" and "great luck" are directly linked... But the young man in front of him, who looks 70% similar to the copy of Chu Xuan, does not have a trace of luck on him!

Are you kidding me?
It would be fine if it was just an ordinary person, but for those important characters involved in the torrent of fate and the "plot", zero luck is tantamount to being sentenced to death, which means fighting against the malice of the entire multiverse every minute and every second. For example, you might be killed by falling objects while walking on the road, or you might fall to death after slipping, or you might choke to death after drinking cold water...

The reason why the protagonist is the protagonist is that they are born with great luck, turning danger into fortune, and becoming stronger when facing stronger opponents, just like the cockroaches in the game, who can never be killed. Even if they encounter an enemy that they cannot defeat, there must be corresponding accidents or help that allow the protagonist to escape. Zheng Zha, Ling Xin, Pei Jiao, Da Yunyang, and even the protagonist Gong Yeyu and Yang Dingtian, who was replaced by Pei Jiao, all have their own adventures and their luck is boiling...

And now, what did he see? A protagonist without luck?

Yang Yun had been through many battles and had seen a lot, but the absurd "protagonist change" before his eyes completely overturned his understanding of the law of cause and effect. It was like someone forcibly pushed a puppet onto an empty throne, but was too lazy to even organize the most basic coronation ceremony...

No one knows better than Yang Yun what it feels like to have zero luck. It's like crying out to the heavens and the earth for help but no one can help you. Even drinking cold water will make your teeth ache. Once in Resident Evil 1 and once in this multiverse, he has experienced things that ordinary people can hardly experience twice... and these two unforgettable experiences are enough to give him a new understanding of the term "extremely bad luck".

If Yang Yun had not demonstrated his analytical and observation skills after his initial self-introduction, thereby increasing his importance in the team and sharing a bit of luck from the protagonist Zheng Zha, he would definitely have died without a burial place... Even so, when Yang Yun had taken almost every aspect into consideration, he was still forced into the laser channel by mercenaries at gunpoint for an unreliable reason, and had a close brush with death several times.

However, this kind of thing that subverts common sense actually happened... A "protagonist" with zero luck was right in front of Yang Yun.

It must be said that this absurd reality has exceeded all of Yang Yun's expectations. After all, even if he racked his brains, he never thought that Ling Xin, the protagonist of "Infinite Future", would actually lose his protagonist status one day.

Although in "Infinite Future", since Zheng Zha appeared on the stage, the position of the protagonist has naturally shifted from Ling Xin to Zheng Zha, and the subsequent positive character Zhang Heng also shared a considerable amount of roles, but Ling Xin still firmly occupies the position of "wise protagonist" and has his own place in the protagonist group... In charge of the List of Gods, planning for the future, and the foreshadowing between him and the clone Chu Xuan, which one is not the treatment that only the protagonist can have?

In a sense, Infinite Future is actually a novel with two or three protagonists, but Yang Yun's perception is not deceiving. Chu Hao in front of him firmly occupies the protagonist position, and now that Zheng Zha is not prominent and the positive Zhang Heng is still far from his complete arrival, Ling Xin has even been replaced by someone else. This is really a precedent.

...Fuck Ling Xin, you're in such a bad situation! Is this what it means to be a washed-up protagonist who is worse than a pig? !

Thinking of this, Yang Yun couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. Even with his experience across the multiverse, he couldn't help but feel dizzy at this moment. Ling Xin's loss of the protagonist's position and being replaced by someone else was already weird enough, and the new protagonist "Chu Hao" was even weirder among the weird...

——Are you crazy? What is going on in this multiverse?

——No, or rather, is this really the multiverse of "Infinite Future"?
At this moment, Yang Yun, who finally found the protagonist of this universe after going through untold hardships, once again experienced the undisguised malice from "fate". (End of this chapter)
