Born to Be Rebellious [Quick Transmigration]-Chapter 176: The Last World
Chapter 176: The Last World
It took a month for the world to fall apart.
One month, not too long and not too short.
Ge Xiu looked up at the dark blue night sky. High above on the sky dotted with countless stars, white cracks resembling spider web were spreading. If one listened carefully, you could hear the ominous cracking sounds.
He still hadn’t finished the world.
Ge Xiu raised his hand and touched the black cold scales of the giant dragon beside him. Under the watchful golden-red vertical pupils, he said,
“Let’s go back to Dragon Island.”
The dragon’s wings set off a violent wind, its majestic figure soared into the air and the huge wings covered the light of the stars.
Night was replaced by morning light and twilight swallowed up the shadows.
They were back where they started again.
On the cliff, the rising sun gradually appeared, casting fine light on the sparkling sea.
The cracks that were only faintly visible before were gradually becoming clearer and even in the daytime, they still densely covered the sky like some kind of a strange totem.
Ge Xiu stood on the top of the cliff, the salty sea breeze blew the ends of his locks, half-length blond hair was like flowing molten gold.
He could see that the sky was breaking into tiny pieces bit by bit, turning into rays of light and falling into the ocean.
Intuitively, Ge Xiu knew that this world was inevitably coming to an end.
And the group of people outside finally found a way to remove him from this world.
The giant dragon looked up solemnly at the gradually collapsing sky.
In his tens of thousands of years of memory, such an unpredictable scene had never appeared before, a sense of crisis as if something important was about to be taken away from him made his heart tremble, making him feel particularly uneasy and afraid.
He subconsciously spread his wings, covering Ge Xiu’s head.
Only when he hid him under his protection like this, would the feeling of extreme uneasiness subside a little.
Ge Xiu’s vision was blocked by the black wings.
He squinted his eyes and turned to look at the dragon standing beside him.
Ge Xiu suddenly raised his voice and shouted:
“Hey!”
The dragon heard his shout, lowered his head slightly, and looked questioningly at the human standing under his wings.
Ge Xiu waved at him:
“Come here.”
The dragon obediently moved his head closer.
Ge Xiu raised his hand and touched the dragon’s head. The scales under his palm were cold and smooth, resembling a mysterious metal.
“My name is Ge Xiu, remember.”
He curled up his lips, the dragon blinked blankly.
Immediately afterwards, he saw that the blond human bend down and the warm lips touched his scales briefly.
The other party’s slightly hoarse voice sounded next to his ear:
“Next time you forget I won’t forgive you.”
At that moment, the sky was like overwhelmed crystal glass, finally unable to bear the pressure from the outside world, it broke with a crack, and the whole world, like a image contained in a glass ball, suddenly shattered. The sky, sea, continents, city-states, and islands had all turned into nothingness, like pieces of paper shredded by a tornado, everything mixing together.
The world was falling apart.
Ge Xiu opened his eyes, staring at the silver-white ceiling in front of him in a daze for a few seconds.
He lowered his head and the blue-purple electric shackles wrapped around his wrists suddenly came into view, the contracting color made Ge Xiu wake up instantly.
Ge Xiu slowly got up.
Cold metal walls, cold lights, cramped space.
The familiar yet unfamiliar environment made him feel like a world away.
This meant… he was finally back to the real world.
Ge Xiu raised his eyelashes slightly, his dark eyes stared straight at the surveillance camera not far away.
The director stared at the young man in the prison uniform on the surveillance screen with an ugly expression on his face.
Three worlds in a row.
Before he first stepped into the virtual world created by Pandora, nobody expected that such a thing would happen.
As soon as the new world started, the technicians of the research institute discovered something was wrong— it was becaming more and more difficult for them to intervene in the operation of the virtual world. In the end, they could not even interfere with the double speed of the world, unable to even stop the world forcibly, let alone removing the criminal from the punishment worlds— they never thought that Pandora, who had long been in slumber, was trying to escape their control and this resistance caught them off guard.
Three whole worlds, three whole worlds!
Before they even had time to complete the design of the following world, it was automatically incorporated into the operating system.
And the further it developed, the harder it was for them to control the development direction of the incident.
Even after the world ended, they couldn’t get any information and could only watch the criminal directly enter the next world. The pain value transmitted from each world became lower and lower, in the very last world falling down to 0.
They had to start digging through data from previous worlds over and over again.
After researching day and night, they really found some clues.
The character data that should originally cause the most damage and influence to the criminal was manipulated, but all traces were hidden carefully and it was done very cleverly. If they hadn’t used the most powerful calculators to conduct in-depth and detailed inspections of every millimeter of content, they would have been unable to detect anything—— It was now clear that Pandora put part of his consciousness into the virtual world and was trying to use this to influence the world’s progress.
And Pandora also left some data fragments.
And it was through this that they were able to draw criminals out of the virtual world before things got out of control.
The director turned his head and asked:
“How are Pandora’s fluctuations?”
The researcher replied:
“The fluctuation are not very high! But the rise has a tendency to reach the normal value!”
There was faint excitement in his voice.
For such a long time, Pandora’s mental power fluctuations had been on a downward trend year by year, until recently, it has reached the lowest critical value. If this trend was allowed to continue, the consequences will be irreversible.
But now, Pandora’s brain was finally showing a rise in activity.
Although it hadn’t stabilised yet, the vivid, rising, and undulating broken lines on the big screen made people feel relieved.
“Do we need to continue connecting the criminal’s brain domain to Pandora?”
A researcher asked for instructions.
The director narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head:
“No.”
Their goal had been achieved.
The research institute did not need Pandora to wake up, they just needed him to continue to produce enough mental power. If the criminal got connected to Pandora again, there would be too many variables that couldn’t be controlled, so the director wouldn’t dare to let the previous thing repeat itself— further plans could be completed by specified machines and so the criminal was superfluous to them now.
The director ordered: “Disconnect the communication channel between the criminal and Pandora, he’s now useless.”
“Yes.”
A reply came from the opposite side.
The director turned around in the monitoring room, then sat on the presiding judge’s seat and let out a slow breath.
Although it took so long, he finally completed the task.
However, before he could enjoy the joy of victory, the researcher’s terrified voice came from the communicator:
“Dire, director! We can’t disconnect!”
“What?” The director was startled and instantly stood up, “How is it possible?”
“And…and…”
The other person stammered: “And the equipment is starting by itself!”
“Is it the Pandora?” The director hoarsely shouted: “Activate countermeasures!” “
“This…” The researcher seemed equally unbelieving:
“This time, this connection seems to be two-way!!!”
It’s not just Pandora trying to pull the other party into the virtual world again—
the criminal himself, also responded to the call of the other party.
At that moment, as if the director suddenly realized something, he suddenly raised his head and looked into the surveillance camera.
The young man in a prison uniform was leaning against the wall, his head slightly lowered, his dark half-length hair was hanging down, covering his face.
There was light silver metal wire climbing on the wall, winding forward like a snake, the contact point at the front seamlessly connected to the other’s skin and slowly penetrated into the flesh and blood, the silver wires were spreading out, covering the exposed skin of the opponent little by little.
The director stared at everything that happened in front of him in horror.
Immediately afterwards, in the real-time connected monitoring screen, right before being completely covered by crawling metal, the young man suddenly raised his head and looked at the camera in front of him.
His long and narrow eyes were half-closed, the dark abyss-like pupils stared at the director behind the camera and the scorching flames burned fiercely in the depths of the abyss.
The corners of the light-colored lips were slightly raised, outlining a provocative and contemptuous smile.
In the next second, the connection was completed.
The director lowered his head dully and looked at the terminal in his hand— it showed that there was last script they designed that remained unused.
.
Ge Xiu opened his eyes.
He found himself standing under an old residential building.
The facade of the building was titled slightly and the blue-gray wallpaper was peeling off, making it look extremely decadent.
Every window was dull and gray, the guardrails outside the windows had been in disrepair for a long time and the iron railings are covered with copper-red rust. From the outside, nothing can be seen clearly, just like dull dead eyes quietly gazing outside.
Except for the residential building, everything around looked like gray and black nothingness.
Ge Xiu frowned slightly, looking at the completely unfamiliar scene in front of him.
……what was it?
“Newcomer?”
A man’s voice came from behind Ge Xiu.
He turned his head and looked back.
He saw a man with a stubble in simple attire that carried backpack standing behind him.
When the man saw his face, he was taken aback for a moment, as if trapped in a daze.
And behind him stood a few people who looked similarly dressed, but they all had the same expression on their faces— a kind of almost numb indifference, as if they were used to everything, but standing out from this group was people, there was another pair of men and women who were distinctly different.
There was a tearful girl wearing a long skirt, and a man who was wearing T-shirt and sandals, looking out of place with other heavily armed people.
Ge Xiu looked down at his attire.
The loose prison uniform hung loosely on the shoulders, aside from the fact there were no shackles, everything else was the same as his current state in the prison.
Ge Xiu had a hunch in his heart.
——It seemed that this time he entered the virtual world with his real appearance.
At this moment, a calm mechanical female voice came from above the head:
“Welcome everyone to the large-scale real-life escape game.”
In the residential building in front of them, the lights slowly turned on, seeming very out of place in the dark and chaotic void.
“Now, the game officially begins”
