Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

"Is it almost 5 o'clock? Time flies!"

The sun had begun to set, and a blush had begun to appear on the horizon, dyeing the blue sky and white clouds red, and rippling the golden lake water.

Fan Mu sighed, picked up his backpack and tickets, and walked towards the amusement park.

He walked onto the viaduct, humming a cheerful tune. As he walked, a gust of sea breeze blew, and he turned his head to look to the side. From this position he could just see the sunset through the towering buildings.

The setting sun shone on his face. He took a deep breath of the salty sea breeze and looked at the road ahead. Just as he was about to continue moving forward, a picture suddenly emerged in his mind, but only for a moment.

Looking at the curved viaduct in front of me, I somehow feel a little... afraid?

He always felt that something bad was going to happen.

"Forget it, let's just take a taxi. I have a feeling that if I continue walking, I will become unlucky."

Although he didn't know why he had that feeling in his heart, he still chose to believe it rather than not. He murmured softly, walked down the overpass, stood on the side of the street and started to hail a taxi.

Soon, an empty taxi stopped in front of him. The paint on the outside was a little damaged and it looked a little dirty.

"Master, let's go to the largest amusement park in the city center."

Fan Mu got into the taxi from the back carrying his bag. It was almost evening and the temperature was not hot. The cool air conditioning in the car made him feel a little cold.

The driver didn't say anything, but started the taxi silently.

The leather seats in the car were a bit worn, the interior looked a bit old, and the whole car looked quite old. It was totally unimaginable that there would be such a taxi driving on the streets in this bustling metropolis.

There is also a radio in the car that was produced decades ago, broadcasting the news.

"Today, the bionic human experiment produced by anti-entropy escaped from the research institute..."

"Driver, I'm a little cold. Can you turn off the air conditioner?" Fan Mu said, rubbing his arms.

"They would disguise themselves as taxi drivers and attack passengers..."

"Taxi driver..."

Listening to the news on the radio, Fan Mu was stunned. He looked up and saw a round bald head looking through the middle of the two seats. It blinked its eyebrowless eyes, looked at him emotionlessly, and made stiff sounds from its mouth.

"Hello..."

The radio in the car continued.

"The company said that a special operations team has been organized to urgently recover the items..."

The broadcast hadn't finished yet, bang! bang! bang!

An old car started drifting around in the center of the city at a very high speed, injuring many pedestrians. Finally, it crashed into a bus full of passengers, causing a violent explosion.

……

Today...the weather is nice and sunny.

I opened the curtains early in the morning, and a ray of warm sunlight illuminated the dim room...

After playing all day, Fan Mu followed Xiao Diao on the road to the amusement park.

Standing in front of the overpass, Fan Mu was conflicted.

"Let's take a taxi..."

"Take a taxi..."

“It always feels like getting in a car is going to be unfortunate.”

The image that flashed through his mind made him feel inexplicably nervous.

"Forget it, let's just take the long way. It's still early anyway."

Thinking of this, I changed the route and did not choose to take a taxi again.

Walking in the city, evening is the time when there are the most crowded people. The crowd is surging, and Fan Mu squeezed among them. He found that they were looking in the same direction, and some were holding up their phones and whispering something.

"What happened?" He scratched his head, confused, not understanding why everyone suddenly stopped and looked in the direction they were looking.

"Huh? What is that?"

I saw a huge disc floating on a tall building in the distance. The top of the building was already damaged, but the damaged banknotes did not fall down. Instead, they floated into the air and landed right under the huge disc.

"How amazing! Is someone making a movie?"

Fan Mu exclaimed, took out his phone and started recording, planning to send it to everyone later.

“Why is it floating there?”

Boom!

"Wait, is this something wrong?"

With a loud bang, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook, and the stone wall that was originally absorbed under the disc began to fall down.

A huge stone wall fell right on top of his head. The stone wall fell so fast that he had no time to dodge. Fan Mu could only let out a scream.

"what!"

……

Today...the weather is nice and sunny.

I opened the curtains early in the morning, and a ray of warm sunlight illuminated the dim room...

……

Walking in front of the overpass, Fan Mu stood there silently without moving.

Why did he always feel that the viaduct would collapse?

Why does it feel like the taxi is going to explode?

Why did he feel he would be crushed to death by a boulder falling from the sky?

It was as if...the god of death was following him with a scythe.

Standing there, there were only vehicles coming and going around, and there were not many pedestrians in this location.

Rumble!

A huge force came from under his feet, pushing him into the sky.

"Just like... now..."

……

Today...the weather is very good and sunny, and a faint ray of sunlight in the early morning shines through the dim curtains.

Fan Mu sat on the bed, covered with a quilt and wearing loose pajamas. He looked at his arms through the dim light. There were no wounds and no muscles. He looked like a otaku who had been staying at home for a long time.

His slightly panicked voice echoed in the dim room.

"Why... am I back here again?"

"Why...I...can't make it to the amusement park alive?"

He had remembered everything now, everything that had happened before, his two new friends, but he just couldn't remember the more distant memories.

"Dream? This... is just a dream?"

Silent, without distress, without the heart-wrenching wails of being trapped in this day and dying hundreds of times.

This time he did not get out of bed as usual, did not change into clothes that he thought looked good, did not open the curtains, but just sat quietly on the bed.

Why am I trapped in this day?

Why am I trapped in my own dream?

Why can't I recall my past memories?

Countless questions came to my mind and loomed in my heart.

What is the outside world like?

What are you like outside?

Are you living a good life? Are you happy or not? Are you happy or not?

Do you have lots and lots of friends?

……

He didn't need to think about these questions, as he already had the answer in his mind.

Why am I trapped here?

That's because life out there isn't great.

Then...is there any need for me to go out?

Give up your current wonderful life, give up your friends, give up everything you have now, and face the tragic and sad reality?

I sat on the bed, not knowing how long I had been sitting there, so long that the sunlight shining in from outside the curtains, from the initial tiny dots of light that could barely show the layout of the room, became light enough to clearly see the environment inside the house, and finally became dim again.

This time, the cell phone he placed beside the bed did not ring, and no one sent him a message or called him.

He looked into the dim room, which was small but fully equipped with everything. He sighed and lay back down on the bed.

But when he lay back on the bed, he noticed something strange. He touched something with his right hand and felt something soft.

When I picked it up, I saw that it was...the amusement park ticket that was supposed to be on the table in the living room.

Looking at the ticket in his hand, Fan Mu's eyes were dazed again, and his fingers groped unconsciously. With the dim sunset light, he noticed that there seemed to be something written on the lower right corner of the ticket.

He took a closer look and subconsciously murmured the words on it.

"Bon voyage, big brother, we are waiting for you in reality!"

The heart that had already made up its mind, the original idea was once again shaken.

He thought of the two people who had tried to take him out a hundred times, and he thought of the people he had never seen before who had appeared a few times before and claimed to be his companions.

After a long time, he sighed heavily, got up and slowly climbed down from the bed. Without opening the curtains, he changed his clothes casually and went to the living room. He picked up his bag, looked at the empty table, and came to the door.

open the door.

The dazzling sunset light suddenly shone in, illuminating the entire room and hurting his eyes.

It took me a long time to finally calm down. I looked at the bustling scene of people coming and going outside the window, looked at them, touched the uneven walls, and everything here was so real.

After hesitating and waiting, he finally took a step forward, walked out of here, and headed towards the amusement park.
