I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1147: Road of No Return
For a living being, the disappearance of life means death.

As for the undead who have died long ago, bringing them back to life is another kind of "death".

They will bid farewell to their original state of life and separate from the world they live in.

The two sides of a coin are artificially defined, and so is the human understanding of "death".

The worlds that were swallowed by the abyss had indeed perished from their original perspective, but after falling to the sixth layer of the abyss, they "survived" in another way.

"Is death the only thing that can bring us to the next level?" Mo Ling looked at the elf and asked seriously.

It’s not that he was unwilling to believe it, but this matter still sounded too unbelievable, and Mo Ling felt that he still needed to confirm it again.

"Well, each layer of the abyss has its own special rules. Only if we adapt to these rules can we enter unimpeded."

"Is it not possible to bypass these rules? Just like we bypassed the Abyss..."

"Of course, but there is no need for us to take a long detour. Death is the best way to pass."

"But..." Mo Ling hesitated for a moment and asked the question in his heart: "If we die completely and enter the next level, how can we come back when we want to? Come back to life?"

When Mo Ling asked this question, the elf fell silent. It looked at Mo Ling, not knowing what it was thinking.

In the silent night, three figures looked at each other. In this absolutely quiet environment, Mo Ling could hear his own breathing, heartbeat, and the sound of clothes rubbing against objects, which was very harsh in the darkness.

The deep darkness seemed to swallow everything, even their existence would be submerged. If they really disappeared into the darkness at this moment, no one would know, and no one would miss them...

After a long silence, the first person to speak was not the elf, but Router. His glasses had long been covered by the thick darkness, but his voice was deafening:

"We can't go back, right?"

The voice seemed to be asking the elf, but also seemed to be interrogating itself.

As smart as he was, he had already guessed everything from what he had seen along the way and the reaction of the elf -

This is a road of no return.

In other words, this is not a road at all.

No matter how difficult the road is, there is always a way to return, and during this journey they had never considered "looking back".

"What do you mean? I can't go back?" Mo Ling was still in the dark and confused.

Still no one answered his question, and the elf and the router fell into silence again.

"Does that mean we can't go back to the upper level? Or that we can't go back to the ground? We can only go down but not up?"

Mo Ling continued to ask, wanting only a definite answer.

Seeing how anxious he was, Lu Qi grabbed his arm and shook it gently.

"Routeqi, what's going on? Can you guys stop being a riddler?"

Mo Ling looked at Router and asked for help.

It’s not that he can’t accept anything, but the confusion is more torturous.

"We can't go back, Mo Ling." Lu Luqi looked at Mo Ling's face for a while before saying slowly.

"You can't go back to the surface, right?"

"Yeah." Lu Qi responded softly and looked at the elf.

Right now, it's the only thing that can answer all the questions...

……

"The abyss can only go down, not up. The abyss will not spit out what it has swallowed."

“Death means death, not life. The road to the other side is one-way, and we cannot turn back.”

The elf looked at the two of them and used all his strength to explain.

This is a bit too cruel for two humans...

The elf knew that humans are social creatures who attach great importance to "going home". Its previous hesitation was also because it was afraid of upsetting the two people. It was wondering if it would be better to keep the truth hidden.

However, it was confirmed in the increasingly clear future that no matter what the truth was, this boy with glasses would definitely reach the bottom of the abyss. Telling him the truth or not would result in the same outcome.

Even the fact that there is "no turning back" will not have any impact on his will.

And just as the elf saw in the wish, after hearing this exact answer, an expression of relief appeared on Router's face.

Mo Ling, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually calmed down.

These two humans did not show any surprise.

They seemed to accept this cruel truth in an instant.

The elf suddenly felt that he didn't understand humans...

"Don't they want to go home?"

"Is home no longer important to them?"

The elf looked at the two calm faces and finally couldn't help but ask: "You... don't want to go back?"

"Of course I do."

"Of course I do."

Mo Ling and Lu Luqi said in unison.

"But we have more important things to do."

They looked at each other and understood the determination in each other's hearts.

Going back is important, but not being able to go back is not a hopeless thing.

"Before entering the abyss, we had already prepared ourselves to never return... Not only us, but every human who voluntarily came to the abyss was prepared to bury their bodies in the abyss."

"Why? Aren't humans afraid of death?" the elf asked in surprise.

"There are many things more terrifying than death. When I think of those things, death is no longer terrifying..."

As Lu Qi spoke, he took out a bottle cap from his bag.

It was a bright red Coke bottle cap, but it was covered in stains and the cap seemed to be worn.

"This is what my sister grabbed when she arrived in the abyss."

"She hadn't had Coke in a long time. She was very happy that day."

"Then……"

Router paused for a moment, as if something was stuck in his throat.

"When I moved the stone away, she was still holding the bottle and didn't want to let go..."

Some things have been said here, and they are all understood...

Rouqi held the bottle cap tightly and put it back into the bag.

His breathing seemed a little rapid, and it took a while for it to become regular again.

"How should we die?" He looked at the elf and asked seriously.

……

"It seems that I have been away from the human world for too long, and I have forgotten some things that I should not have forgotten..."

The elf supported himself on the stone and stood up with difficulty. A faint golden light burst out from his body, but at the same time, cracks quickly appeared on his body that looked like white porcelain.

"I will use the last of my strength to kill everyone."

"Leave the coin flip to me, you just stand there."

"rest assured……"

"Our death will be very beautiful."
