Re-live your life and start speedrunning

As long as Lu Baixi keeps moving forward, ignoring everything behind him, he decisively leaves behind the other "self" imprisoned in the darkness.

This road is passable.

And without her second personality, she will no longer have any flaws.

However...

Every time, she inexplicably turned back!

I always want to move forward, but I always look back when I am about to reach the end.

Then, everything was in vain, and time was looping backwards - they were stuck there!

Yes, time loop, this is why Lu Baixi would return to the starting point every time... Although Li Re was surprised that it was this extremely rare ability related to time, but after thinking about it carefully, this time it was in the consciousness dimension after all. The consciousness dimension was bizarre, and it was naturally much easier to change time here than in the material world - perhaps it was equivalent to the 'pseudo-time' ability that Yin Tianzi had mentioned before.

And this was the nth cycle of consciousness time loop that Lu Baixi had experienced. She was so confused that she didn't even know where the loop started.

But Li Re saw it clearly and distinctly on the screen! This is what a bystander is like.

after all...

——One of the "Guidelines for Visitors": This park is a children's playground and there is no "haunted house" project. Please avoid it immediately if you encounter a haunted house. If you accidentally enter one, please don't panic, just walk past it, don't look back, and don't pay attention to any voice calling you.

Because the one who calls you may not be a human.

And Lu Baixi——looked back countless times!

If it wasn't for the second personality replacing Lu Baixi herself, she would be the one imprisoned at this moment!

But precisely because the second personality replaced her, she could just abandon the second personality and get out of this.

Because there is another her in the haunted house, so as long as she turns back, she will be pulled back into the 'haunted house', back to the corridor inside the house, back to the starting point of the change in time and space!

Here.

Li Re's eyes moved slightly, and he finally understood the full picture of the trial before Lu Baixi.

That's when.

Another voice suddenly sounded from the changing picture——

"She should have escaped, right? She's such a weak and stupid person who wants to hide in the trash can in the corner all day long... I can't believe that I am a second personality derived from her body."

"But if you think about it carefully, it's a pity to die like this."

"I haven't completely pinned that man down yet... That dark, damp guy who looks like a rotting, smelly corpse but is always incredibly warm like a burning maggot... I really want him to look at 'me' with those disgusting eyes again..."

so.

How do you use a sentence structure that combines both positive and negative words to describe the same person? Paradoxical literature, right?

Upon hearing this, Li Re could not help but look towards the other end of the screen in silence.

This clear whisper, without a doubt, came from the soliloquy of the girl's second personality who was imprisoned in the darkness.

Chapter 258: The Spiritual Official Stepping on Fire, a Strange Story Named Li Re

The low whispers in the darkness echoed in all directions. In the vast, empty area, a girl in a white dress and black stockings stood at the edge and exhaled softly. She ruffled her long, soft black hair, and her dark eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of loss.

So long.

The 'other me' should have left this 'haunted house'.

Lu Baixi thought so in her heart and whispered so softly.

A little... a little lost?

But this is normal, she shouldn't exist - there shouldn't be a second 'personality' in one body, not to mention that this personality of hers has an extremely high self-esteem... Perhaps the self who always says that others are dirty is the one who should disappear the most -

But even so.

Even so.

"If I could, I would like to live..."

"Lu Baixi" murmured so, and the girl with fluttering black hair exhaled softly. It was pitch black in front of her eyes, and she could not see the outline of any object. All she could see was pure boundlessness... But she had given up escaping long ago. She suddenly remembered the self-pitying voice she heard when she first woke up from the real Lu Baixi's body.

Her personality awakened from the darkness of the girl.

Now, returning to darkness is only natural.

Yes, it's all for granted...

but why.

Will I still feel unwilling?

Why do you feel fear?

Things that are not yet completed, things that I still want to do, people that I still want to see again... How can I, who shouldn't exist in this world, have so many regrets?

Lu Baixi took two steps back in the darkness and slowly squatted down. She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the resentment that kept surging in her heart, the despair that kept emerging in her heart, and even more trying to suppress the sadness and fear.

Stay by yourself.

Let the real Lu Baixi come out.

This is already a very good result.

Yes.

I have nothing to be dissatisfied with.

There's nothing to be unhappy about...

"I am such a dark and hypocritical 'me' - isn't it good to be buried in this darkness forever?" She whispered for the nth time.

That's when.

In the dark and silent world, a voice that seemed out of place suddenly rang out: "I didn't expect that the queen of sharp tongue would cry. This is really an eye-opener!"

This sound.

This tone...

“Lee Re——!?”

Lu Baixi's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously raised her hand to wipe away the tiny tears that had fallen from the corners of her eyes. She turned her head towards the sound, but she saw nothing and her eyes widened slightly.

Is it... a hallucination before death?

"This is not an illusion, the 'Queen' hiding in the 'trash can'!" Li Re's voice sounded again: "I am watching you in the monitoring room!"

Monitoring room... Monitoring room?

"The monitoring room of the Kaidan Amusement Park?"

Lu Baixi suddenly came to her senses, and the sound she made was a little dry, and one could tell she had just been sobbing. The girl in the dark couldn't help but blush, and she subconsciously said, "What a... what a dirty guy, he actually used the monitoring helmet - did he want to peek under my skirt?"

"No need to peek, it's white." Li Re responded confidently.

"..."

Lu Baixi was silent for a moment. She was in the dark and it was obvious that something was wrong with her. If it were normal times, she would have spoken out loudly and responded to Li Re with the sharpest words and the most ambiguous actions when she heard what Li Re said.

But now, she was just quiet.

Take a deep breath quietly.

Quietly...with a smile that was totally inconsistent with this second personality.

"Is that so... Are you here to save the real me?"

"So, you, a despicable, dirty, and evil-minded monster, are you here to laugh at me before I die? If that's the case, it doesn't matter. Although it's disgusting to die under your dirty eyes, and although you will definitely do something to me after I die... it doesn't matter."

I'm going to die anyway.

Anyway.

I like you.

Even if I can't see it, you can see it again.

That's enough.

"You make me sound like a pervert..." Li Re sighed, "But I don't want to die, I want to live!"

"And your tone is too dejected. Are you really willing to give up like this?"

"Even if you are just the second personality of the real Lu Baixi, you have truly lived, right?"

'Lu Baixi' stopped talking.

She just huddled in the darkness with her head tilted up.

She thought to herself that she was certainly unwilling to accept this, but she could only give up, give up on herself, let the real "self" live, give up on herself, and let her walk out in a more perfect posture.

This is the wish of your true self.

It is also her own wish.

after all.

If not.

No matter which Lu Baixi takes, she can't stay with Li Re.

Will all be abandoned.

What's more, she was trapped - no one could save her.

Even Li Re is the same.

"That's not a bad idea." Li Re's words rang out in the darkness once again. He responded to the girl's inner voice and said, "I really can't save you - because the only one who can save you is 'you'."

"But it's okay."

"'You' haven't given up yet!"

Lu Baixi was slightly stunned when she heard these words. The girl curled up in the dark suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice. Although she couldn't see anything, at this moment, listening to Li Re's words, she seemed to understand something.

Yes.

The other one is 'Lu Baixi'.

Lu Baixi, who was wearing sportswear, moved again.

She walked in the dark corridor that was also shrouded in darkness, and after leaving scratches on the wall again, she walked forward again... again and again, and looked back again and again.

Li Re in the monitoring room raised his eyebrows and looked at her and couldn't help grinning.

He thought it was rare.

He thought how nice it was.

She has really grown up!

next second.

The girl, who was wearing a tracksuit that looked like a middle school uniform, turned her head back almost instinctively when she reached a certain limit in the corridor.

This was the nth time she had looked back in a daze.

She turned around in confusion for who knows how many times.

Maybe hundreds, or maybe thousands... But this time, she did not return to the starting point!

As expected - 'loop' also has its limits!

Inexplicably, such a thought emerged in Lu Baixi's mind. She woke up suddenly, and seemed to become extremely sober and remembered what she should do - she stepped directly forward!

It is said to be moving forward, but in fact, it is moving backward!

The sound of footsteps echoed clearly, breaking the long silence in the darkness.

soon.

The girl then returned to the starting point of each previous cycle.

Li Re also watched her walk back to her original place.

Then, without stopping, keep moving forward!
