"...A thousand tribulations?"
At this moment, random characters flickered on Qianjie's body.
It looks exactly the same as before the cat disappeared.
Both Aponia and Eden noticed something was off about each other.
Upon seeing this, Eden hurriedly wanted to go over and check on the other party's condition, but was stopped by Aponia.
"Don't touch him, or even... don't go near him."
Aponia's voice carried a hint of sorrow: "His memory is riddled with holes, and... it's only a hair's breadth away from completely dissipating."
Eden: "...Is there any hope of survival?"
Aponia shook her head, her face filled with sorrow: "...Hope is slim."
"Poor child... his consciousness has probably long since faded away. It was only through the instincts of this broken body that he was able to come here."
……
At this point, the live chat was already in an uproar.
Although "extremely evil" Wilvie has already said that...
Although they already knew that the enemy was the Herrscher of Corruption.
However, players still held a sliver of hope; they hoped to see Zed unleash his full power and brutally beat Erosion.
And now...
Without a word, Qianjie had already logged off...
Moreover, even in death, he still instinctively brought the message back to Aponia...
In order to understand the truth, Aponia delved into the mind of a thousand kalpas.
Sure enough, Qianjie's consciousness was already waiting for her inside.
"They're too slow... Aponia."
It escaped!
Upon seeing Qianjie's consciousness, the players immediately became excited again.
A thousand tribulations... does that mean I don't have to die?
However, the plot didn't make them happy for long.
After revealing his experiences to Aponia, Qianjie slowly turned his back:
"You all saw it, didn't you..."
"Aren't you always the one who inspires fear? This time, you'd better let it savor it slowly!"
"Don't be too polite when dealing with someone who's not even human!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qianjie's figure began to become illusory.
"...A thousand tribulations?"
Thousand Calamities ignored Aponia's concerns.
"Get lost after you've finished reading. If you were the one watching me die... that would be utterly disgusting."
At this moment, the background music in the game also became tragic.
Combined with Qianjie's somewhat hoarse voice, it made people feel incredibly sorry for him.
The screen was filled with "crying face" emojis, and countless players were shouting "Zed, my Superman!"
“A thousand calamities…at least, let me preserve your last thoughts…after everything is over, I can still try…” Aponia suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence.
Her gaze fell upon her own hands.
And the players also discovered...
At some point, Aponia's hands were also covered by a thick green fog.
She immediately understood.
This is because... when I was reading Qian Jie's memories, I touched Qian Jie's head, which caused me to also get infected with the "virus".
Just touching it... and it caused this!!
The players felt a sense of despair...
Mei was trapped, and for the Herrscher of Corruption, the memory of the Thirteen Heroes was simply a matter of dimensional reduction!
How do I fight this? How do I win??
In the game, Qianjie also saw the thick green mist in Aponia's hand.
“…Aponia?!”
His voice carried anger...and a hint of worry and regret...
"That's true... [After everything is over]... I'm no longer qualified to make such a promise."
"In any case, thank you, Qianjie. At least... you've shown us what kind of enemy we're facing."
"Where you are going... I will be there shortly."
Qianjie: "..."
"Hmph...that's right, you and I...both deserve to go to hell. Then let's see if you can still ask me to do anything."
After saying that, his tone suddenly softened: "...But, don't come too early."
I don't want to ride the same bus as you.
Aponia: "Well then... farewell, Thousand Calamities."
Just as Aponia was about to leave, Qianjie suddenly spoke.
"and many more……"
“This time… I proved Sakura’s innocence, right? My body… is the proof!”
"She...was never a traitor!"
"Go tell them—tell everyone!!"
"This innocence was earned with my own hands, not given to me by them!"
Aponia: "Yes, Sakura is not a traitor, neither then nor now..."
……
There were no visual demonstrations, nor any flowery language.
It was just an ordinary conversation, but it touched the hearts of every player and stirred their emotions.
Whether it was the worry hidden in Qianjie's words when he "angrily confronted" Aponia, or his continued efforts to prove Sakura's innocence until his death.
And then there's that line, "This time, did I... actually protect something...?"
These conversations really make it hard not to feel sorry for this "madman" yet gentle Yingjie.
With the background music playing, this scene brought tears to Kiana's eyes.
You should know that she hasn't even learned about Qianjie's past yet.
Those players who had developed a fondness for the story of the past thousand tribulations were already in tears.
All I can say is, he truly deserves to be called a real man, Brother Jie.
The ending scenes always evoke a feeling that can bring even the toughest men to tears.
[Brother Jie... my forever Superman!]
……
After Aponia emerged from her dazed state of mind, she explained everything she had seen to Eden.
"There are no traitors among us..."
"However, for the [Memory Entity], the enemy we face here is like the [End] itself."
“Eden… I don’t understand why it’s here…”
"But it came...right here in this paradise of the past..."
"The Herald of Corruption...has already descended."
Another photo of Thirteen Heroes has been torn.
Although it was a scene that had been anticipated.
But when that shattering sound rang out, the players still felt as if their hearts had stopped.
In countless cities, in countless small rooms, countless muscular men, their eyes red-rimmed, stare blankly at their phone screens—
"Aaaaaah!! Brother Jie..."
