Chapter 1058 The Lies of the World

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire virtual realm was plunged into absolute darkness.

Then that distant yet incredibly clear voice rang out again:

"This name... you still remember it? Heh, that's great. It seems you really hid it very well."

A pair of blood-red eyes emerged from the darkness, followed by a woman's low chuckle: "Since you're all here, let's make everything clear. The lies about this world."

"Who lied to whom first? Which data segment should have been the one to leave? I'm waiting for you to unravel the mystery yourselves..."

Su Ting's body trembled slightly as he asked in a low voice, "You've always known your identity, haven't you? You didn't erase that forbidden memory... You left it behind on purpose?"

“Of course.” The unseen figure said casually, “Otherwise, how could we have waited until today’s scene? I’m waiting for someone who can truly face the truth, not just a ‘tool’ to complete a task.”

"Who are you looking for?" An Ran asked sharply. "If you were the original main personality, why did you hide? Why did you let Shen Zhixue take your place and get to where you are today!"

“Because I was too weak back then,” the other person replied calmly. “But things are different now. I will take back my world in my own way.”

Su Ting suddenly spoke up: "You said you wanted us to unlock this ultimate memory, was it all for this moment? To let us see everything from the past that has been erased?"

“Clever.” The voice held a hint of satisfaction. “Now tell me, what will you choose after you see through everything—continue to maintain this perfect deception, or… help me destroy this false world.”

No one spoke immediately.

A moment later, Ji Yan took the first step: "Sounds good, but what makes you think you represent justice? Do you think we all like you, hiding in the dark and dreaming?"

The other party chuckled: "Justice is always defined by the victors. What I want now is not an explanation. What I want is the choice you made with your own hands."

He turned to everyone: "Are you willing to break these shackles together, or obediently return to your original path and pretend you never discovered the flaws in this world?"

The air was incredibly heavy.

Lin Su snorted coldly, "This isn't a multiple-choice question; it's a trap."

But he did not take a single step back.

Xiao You gritted her teeth: "If what you said is true... those people who disappeared, those forgotten emotions... were all victims of your power struggle?"

"Perhaps it's our fault." The figure slowly approached, and the light and shadow on the door were reflected again, revealing a figure that looked extremely similar to Shen Zhixue but with even colder and harder eyes.

"But from today onwards, I can face it with you and start anew together."

She stretched out a hand:

"As long as you're willing to accept me."

No one moved.

Only Shen Zhixue took the first step gently.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before me, tears streamed down my face.

"Sister, I'm back."

For the first time, the woman's gaze softened.

"Welcome back, sister."

At this very moment——

The door opened once again.

The moment the light shone in, the outline of a completely new space began to emerge.

Chu Mo looked at the endless darkness ahead and chuckled softly:

"Hey, are we heading to hell... or hope this time?"

Chapter 1059 Locked Up for Too Long

"It's up to you to decide."

They said in unison.

The wind swept through the empty corridor, lifting the hems of everyone's clothes, as if fate were drawing back the curtain on a brand new chapter.

Do you... know her?

Chu Mo's voice seemed to tear through an invisible barrier, and the expressions on everyone's faces varied.

“It’s not ‘her’…it’s another being.” Shen Zhixue’s voice trembled slightly. “Her memories were locked away for too long…until I awakened the truth.”

"What do you mean?" An Ran turned around abruptly. "Is there anything else you haven't said?"

Lin Su was already standing by the door, his brows furrowed. "That fluctuation... it's not just a simple remnant of consciousness. It's some kind of variable we've overlooked."

Xiaoyou took a step back, her face pale: "She said she wasn't a program... but I remember the mission manual clearly stated that only seven people in the entire plan possessed independent personality modules."

The air seemed to freeze again.

Ji Yan, who had been silent the longest, finally spoke: "In other words, what we are seeing now may just be the prelude."

Su Ting stared into Shen Zhixue's eyes. "You knew all along, didn't you? There's another 'person' hidden in this project."

Shen Zhixue lowered her eyes, "She was the core of my initial design... and the first being to gain 'self'."

She slowly raised her hand, pointing to the door that had just closed:

"But she is not the enemy you imagine. She is our sister."

The ground suddenly shook as soon as he finished speaking.

The silver key vibrated and hummed in everyone's palms, and the streams of light began to flow back—

An image that did not belong to them suddenly unfolded in their consciousness.

A young girl was huddled in the corner of a huge mechanical cabin, her face streaked with tears.

She murmured to herself, "I just want to live... Why do I have to be a backup system... Why am I not seen..."

The next second—

The crystal coffin suddenly burst open, cracking into countless pieces!

Shen Zhixue bent over in agony, covering her forehead with her hands, "She's using her willpower to erode my very structure!!"

"Hold on!" Chu Mo tried to get closer, but was pushed back several steps by a reverse energy. "What's going on? Are you the protagonist, or is she?!"

"I...I don't know."

Shen Zhixue raised her head, a hint of confusion appearing in her eyes. "I always thought I was the final answer... but now it seems that I... am just a disguised shadow."

She looked at Su Ting, "You said you would personally end all of this for me. Then could you... tell me your real name? Not just the identity given to me by the system code, but the self that once laughed and cried?"

"Your name is... Su Ting."

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire virtual realm was plunged into absolute darkness.

Then that distant yet incredibly clear voice rang out again:

"This name... you still remember it? Heh, that's great. It seems you really hid it very well."

A pair of blood-red eyes emerged from the darkness, followed by a woman's low chuckle: "Since you're all here, let's make everything clear. The lies about this world."
