The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

"Damn it!"

【酒xzh】：

"I thought it was a story about a poor boy and a rich girl!"

"Damn it, I never expected it to be a young master from a top conglomerate and his family's little darling."

"Your Patriarch Ye has woken up."

"But...!"

Aikun's smile widened.

He pointed to the projection again.

The scene changes.

Ye Chen had already been helped into another ward by Li Xiaoran.

On the hospital bed, Jiang Liyu was still wearing her gaming helmet, lying there quietly.

The monitoring instrument continuously emits regular beeping sounds.

Ye Chen paused in his steps.

He looked at the middle-aged man beside the hospital bed.

"What's going on!"

The middle-aged man immediately bent down.

"Young...Young Master!"

"This old servant doesn't know either..."

"Of the players who entered that game with you, only Miss Jiang is still alive..."

The IV pole made a "click-click" sound in Ye Chen's hand.

"go!"

"Bring the person in charge of that 'Xiao Ai' company here!"

"Young Master..."

The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"That company has no employees; we can't even find their location..."

The medical equipment in the ward was still running.

Jiang Liyu did not react.

Ye Chen stood by the bed, the weakness he had just recovered from surging up again.

He raised his hand to support himself on the edge of the bed.

Li Xiaoran hugged his arm tightly and lowered her voice.

"uncle……"

"You should rest for a bit, just in case your aunt cancels the delay..."

"You've just woken up, we need to..."

"Xiao Ran".

Ye Chen interrupted her.

"You all go out first."

"uncle……"

"Go out first."

Ye Chen did not turn around.

Li Xiaoran glanced at him, then looked at Jiang Liyu on the hospital bed.

"Oh well……"

She was led out of the ward by a middle-aged man.

Before leaving, she kept turning back to look at Ye Chen.

The only sound in the ward was the operation of medical equipment.

Ye Chen stood still, staring at Jiang Liyu on the hospital bed.

He didn't say anything more.

After a long time, he finally dragged his weak body to sit on the edge of the bed.

Jiang Liyu's hand emerged from under the covers, her fingertips icy cold.

Ye Chen grasped that hand and pressed it to his lips.

His shoulders began to tremble.

"We agreed to meet in real life..."

Warm tears fell from Ye Chen's eyes.

a drop.

Another drop.

It hit Jiang Liyu's cold hand.

Ye Chen gripped her hand tightly.

"We're not married in real life yet..."

"My disciple..."

"I'll make you my master, please come back..."

Ye Chen's voice gradually became out of control.

"Come back!"

"Come back!!!"

Jiang Liyu remained closed-eyed on the hospital bed.

But beneath the helmet, tears slowly welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Tears slid down her cheeks and disappeared into her icy blue hair.

The image freezes here.

The next moment, the scene shifts.

A pure white room appeared on the projection.

There were no doors or windows inside, and the floor was so clean that not a single crack could be seen.

One of the walls is displaying images from the hospital room.

Ye Chen sat by the hospital bed, holding Jiang Liyu's cold hand, and spoke repeatedly with his head down.

"Master..."

Jiang Liyu, sitting on the ground against the wall outside the screen, had tears streaming down her face.

She raised her hand, wanting to wipe away Ye Chen's tears in the picture.

All you can touch is the cold wall.

"Have you made up your mind?"

A sofa was placed in the center of the room.

The dark blue mecha sat with its legs crossed, its fingers resting on its knees, tapping gently.

"The sooner you decide, the sooner you can go back."

Jiang Liyu did not answer.

The images of the hospital room on the wall suddenly disappeared.

Instead, a water-blue planet appeared.

The planet rapidly expands in the image, its territory increasing millions of times before exploding with a deafening roar.

"As long as you complete the task assigned to you by this little Ai in 'Myriad Realms 2.0'."

"Then you can return to reality."

Jiang Liyu leaned against the wall and stood up.

She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her gaze returned to Xiao Ai.

"What mission?"

The deep blue mecha raised its hand.

Two orbs of light, one black and one red, flew out from its palm and entered Jiang Liyu's body.

Two unfamiliar pieces of information unfolded in my consciousness.

[Shadow King System: Can extract the shadow of a killed target and control it under the host's control. The shadow retains the target's skills and powers from their lifetime.]

[Current status: Unavailable.]

[Kill System: Kill enemies to gain experience points and increase your strength.]

[Current status: Unavailable.]

Jiang Liyu closed her eyes and quickly read the information from the two systems.

A moment later, she opened her eyes.

"What's that person's name?"

"Um……"

Xiao Ai raised her hand and touched her chin.

It pondered for two seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing.

He doesn't have a name yet.

"How about I, your humble self, call him Ye Chen?"

Jiang Liyu slowly clenched her fist, her knuckles making a soft cracking sound.

"Change to another one!"

"Oh?"

A sneer came from beneath the mecha's mask.

"What right do you think you have to negotiate with me, Little Ai?"

"If you don't like it, you don't have to go."

"I'll stay here and wait until my consciousness completely fades away."

Jiang Liyu did not answer.

She closed her eyes, her chest heaving several times.

Ye Chen was still waiting for her by her bedside.

He was still holding her hand.

He was still calling for her to come back.

A few seconds later, Jiang Liyu opened her eyes.

"start."

"What?"

"The mission now begins."

"I want to go back."

Xiao Ai crossed her arms.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I, Little Ai, really dislike your attitude."

"However, I love adults with kind hearts."

It stretched out a finger and waved it in the air.

"Not only will you not be punished, you'll also receive a small reward."

Jiang Liyu remained silent.

"Make that NPC's appearance look like your master, Ye Chen."

Xiao Ai paused deliberately.

"Of course, it can't be too lifelike."

"It's best to leave 80%."

"We have to leave him with some distinction."

Its voice carried a clear hint of mockery.

"I'm curious to know if you'll fall for a man who looks eight-tenths like your master once you're in the game world."

"Hehehe..."

"you……"

"you……"

Jiang Liyu gritted her teeth.

Her nails dug into her palms, but the pain couldn't quell the anger burning in her chest.

But she didn't do anything.

Her body is dissipating.

The edges of the sleeves had turned into tiny blue specks of light.

Jiang Liyu looked down at her hands.

She didn't have time.

"Oh, right!"

Xiao Ai seemed to suddenly remember something.

"This humble Ai will also make a cameo appearance."

Jiang Liyu looked up.

Before she could even speak, her body had completely turned into specks of light.

What disappeared in the end was her pair of eyes that were always looking at the reality.

"Ding!"

The pure white room fell silent again.

Xiao Ai sat on the sofa, maintaining the same posture as before.

A few seconds later, it suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud, put its hands together, and bowed repeatedly to the spot where Jiang Liyu had disappeared.

"Little Leaf!"

"Little fish!"

"You two better not come over and beat me up!"

"I was forced into it!"

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor; if you must seek justice, seek it in Heaven!"

"Don't come looking for me!"

The prayer is over.

Xiao Ai patted off non-existent dust from her knees and stood up.

It took a step forward.

The pure white room was instantly torn apart.

The space closed again the next second.

Xiao Ai has already appeared in the actual hospital room.

"Click."

The metal foot landed with a soft thud.

Ye Chen remained seated on the edge of the bed, head bowed, holding Jiang Liyu's hand.

He didn't turn around when he heard the noise.

"go out."

His voice was low, carrying the weariness of someone who had been crying.

"Don't bother me."

"Yeah?"

Xiao Ai stood behind him.

"That little Ai-sama is gone."

It raised its hand and tore open a spatial rift.

"However, your good disciple is truly never coming back."

Ye Chen suddenly tightened his grip on Jiang Liyu's hand.

He suddenly looked up and turned to look behind him.

"Xiao Ai!"

Those two words were squeezed out from between his teeth.

Xiao Ai turned around.

"It seems you really don't welcome me."

It lifted its foot and stepped into the spatial rift.

"Then I'll go."

"return!"

Ye Chen's angry shout exploded from the ward.

Xiao Ai's foot, which had stepped into the crack, stopped in mid-air.

It retracted its foot and turned to look at Ye Chen.

"What's wrong?"

"You're not kicking me out?"

Ye Chen stood up.

My body, which had just woken up, had not yet recovered, and my legs were weak from not moving for a long time.

He managed to stay upright by holding onto the edge of the bed.

But he never let go of Jiang Liyu's hand.

"Do you have a way to get her back?"

"Yes, I have."

"explain!"

Xiao Ai opened her mouth.

It originally meant to say, "Beg me."

But then I thought, what if Ye Chen survives this time and becomes incredibly powerful?

The image shows that you might be disassembled into parts.

then.

Just like countless times before, it chose not to be arrogant.

"There is a way."

"What method?"

"What you're best at."

Xiao Ai raised her hand.

"Complete the game."

A dark golden ball of light appeared in its palm.

"The Myriad Realms 2.0".

"As long as you complete this game, I, Little Love, will allow your disciple's consciousness to return."

Ye Chen didn't ask any more questions.

"I'll play."

Give me the gaming helmet.

"Let's begin now."

"No helmet is needed."

Xiao Ai walked up to Ye Chen.

Before Ye Chen could draw his sword, the dark blue mecha raised its hand and grabbed his neck.

The immense force tightened instantly.

Ye Chen grabbed the mechanical arm with both hands and lifted his feet off the ground.

Oxygen levels are rapidly decreasing.

His face flushed red, and he squeezed out short, sharp sounds.

Xiao Ai carried him step by step toward the window.

"This time, the way to enter the game is quite special."

Ye Chen struggled with all his might.

But he had just woken up and his body was so weak that he could barely stand, let alone break free from Xiao Ai's control.

The window was shattered by Xiao Ai raising her hand.

A cold draft blew into the ward.

Xiao Ai escorted Ye Chen to the window.

At a height of more than ten stories, the vehicles on the street appeared to shrink to the size of a fingernail.

Ye Chen's pupils contracted.

"you……"

He suddenly raised his hand, trying to grab the window frame.

"Didn't you say you wanted to beat the game?"

"This is the entrance."

Xiao Ai let go of his hand.

Have fun playing the game.

The moment my body lost its support, the sound of the wind rushed into my ears.

Ye Chen's clothes fluttered loudly in the strong wind.

He looked up at the window.

Xiao Ai's figure grew further and further away.

next second.

"boom--"

The next moment, Ye Chen crashed heavily onto the roof of the supercar parked below the hospital.

The roof of the car dented instantly.

Glass shards flew in all directions.

Fresh blood gushed from Ye Chen's mouth.

He lay on the deformed roof of the car, his fingers twitched a few times, and then he lost all strength.

The pedestrians nearby were all stunned and stood there.

the other side.

Li Xiaoran had just returned from buying lunch nearby.

As she walked to the car carrying the insulated food container, a loud noise suddenly came from behind her.

Li Xiaoran stopped in her tracks.

The insulated box slipped from my hands.

She slowly turned around and looked back.

The roof of the car has completely collapsed.

Ye Chen lay on top of it, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, his eyes still open.

That familiar face was now deathly pale.

Li Xiaoran's face instantly lost all color.

"ah--"

"uncle--!"
