My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"!" Li Kai picked up the phone with extreme impatience. "Aren't you annoying? I told you, I absolutely won't play with a noob!"

"Absolutely?" Surprisingly, the voice coming from the microphone was very calm, and even quite pleasant to the ear.

"Absolutely!" Li Kai shouted without hesitation.

"really?"

"Of course... uh... this voice, this feeling... could it be—" Li Kai nervously flipped over the phone screen, only to see three words written in blood. Holy crap, why is this lady suddenly calling me? This doesn't make sense.

"So you've always thought I was a noob, so you really hate playing games with me, so everything you said before was a lie." The eerie voice came through the microphone to Li Kai's ears, and even though he was thousands of miles away, he could feel the black aura permeating his vision.

"Xiaoxue, let me explain. Just now..." Li Kai held the microphone with both hands and smiled respectfully, looking every bit the sycophant.

"Oh? Explain? Didn't you already explain it clearly?" The girl called Xiaoxue, what? You're asking why a girl? Isn't that obvious? Do you think a boy would be named Xiaoxue?

"I was talking to my roommate, I didn't realize it was your call."

"You can't even see my phone clearly? Looks like I'm not even as good as your roommate, huh?!" The girl gave a heavy snort, though it was just a playful complaint, Li Kai's whole body was covered in goosebumps—it was fear.

"Heh heh!" Just then, a strange sound suddenly entered Li Kai's ears. That sound, no matter how you looked at it, felt...

"Haha, Xiaoxue, what are you doing?" Li Kai asked tentatively, cold sweat slowly dripping from his forehead.

"What am I doing? Sharpening my sword, of course," the girl said matter-of-factly, as if it were a trivial matter. "I recently found a pretty good samurai sword online. Once I've sharpened it, I'll show you what I'm made of."

"I'd rather not." Li Kai wiped his forehead, a large amount of sweat sliding from his palm onto the ground. The unbearable experiences of the past tormented him every moment.

"No! Are you rejecting me?" The girl's voice turned cold, and an even more terrifying aura came from the microphone. Without even looking, one could predict how miserable Li Kai's fate would be.

"No, no, of course not!" Sensing the girl's dissatisfaction, Li Kai quickly shook his head and said, "How could that be? I would never refuse Xiaoxue's request."

"That's good. If you dare to refuse, I'll kill you!" The pleasant voice was mixed with a terrifying threat, and a strong sense of eeriness filled Li Kai's heart. I'm not a masochist.

"Hey, hey, don't say such terrifying things in that matter-of-fact tone!" Li Kai shook his head vigorously, complaining weakly. Although this kind of threat wasn't the first or second time, why was it always so chilling? It seemed like she really would do it. "Murder is illegal, especially since you're a girl!!"

"Girls and breaking the law? Is there any necessary connection between the two?" the girl asked curiously.

"Ugh, why do I always feel so powerless when faced with your complaints?" Li Kai said with a mournful face, unable to find any words to refute them.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing Xiao Kai anymore. Let's talk about something interesting." The girl's tone changed abruptly, and she became cheerful in the blink of an eye.

“I’m not young at all. If we’re talking about age, you’re my little sister,” Li Kai argued, insisting that he would not back down on the matter of age.

"Oh? Repeat what you just said!" Okay, a chilling aura swept over Li Kai's heart again; what a terrifying power that was.

"Whatever Xiaoxue says goes. You're the eldest sister, and I'm the younger brother." Knowing that his life would be in real danger if things continued like this, Li Kai quickly said in a fawning manner.

"Hehe, that's more like it, little Kai!"

"Well, I'm a eunuch again." Li Kai slumped his shoulders helplessly. Why are all other people's childhood sweethearts gentle, kind, and understanding, while mine is always trying to kill me? Sigh, there's definitely something wrong with my childhood sweetheart.

God, what terrible things have I done?! Someone please save me!

"So, what's the purpose of your call this time?" After calming down, huh? It's only been a few seconds, and you've already calmed down.

"Tch, this isn't the first or second time this has happened. Is it really necessary to be so surprised?" Li Kai said with a sneer, his face full of disdain. Am I really that stupid?

"Oh, right, right! According to my observation, there will be a large number of shooting stars streaking across the sky tonight," the girl described to herself.

"So?" Li Kai asked casually.

"So you absolutely have to watch it, understand?"

"Okay, okay, I'll try to look." Li Kai said weakly, thinking he could just glance at it and get away with it. This girl always has so many tricks up her sleeve.

"Hmm~~ Such a perfunctory tone. Oh right, I still need a review. If you don't write one or if it's not good, hehe, you know the consequences. Bye!" The girl said everything in one breath and then hung up the phone.

"Huh? Huh!!" Li Xiaoshi's eyes gradually widened, finally staring wide open, his expression a mixture of ferocity and distortion.

"No way!!" A deafening scream suddenly erupted from the room, so shrill and tragic.

That night, the desolate night sky was dotted with sparse stars, and the pitch-black night contrasted sharply with the brightly lit ground.

"Seriously, is it really possible for a shooting star to streak across the sky in this kind of weather?" Li Kai kept looking up at the sky, feeling that it was unlikely. Had he been fooled again? Anyway, that unreliable aunt had done this more than once or twice.

"Whoosh!" Just as Li Kai was deep in thought, a dazzling beam of light suddenly flashed past his eyes. "It actually exists!" Li Kai looked up at the night sky and exclaimed in disbelief.

The once dark and desolate night sky has now been replaced by a dense array of lights. Countless beams of light, shimmering with different colors, fall to the ground like raindrops. What a beautiful sight it is! Words cannot describe this magnificent spectacle. Gradually, the meteors that were originally like raindrops grew larger and larger, and even the patterns on them became clearly visible.

Wait, why am I seeing patterns on it?! Li Kai suddenly realized a terrible problem.

"Boom!" The raging flames generated by atmospheric friction instantly engulfed the area where the meteor had landed. A bottomless crater crashed out of the ground, and countless explosions rang out one after another. The continuous flames were dazzling against the backdrop of the night sky.

"This is..." Li Kai was stunned by what he saw. Wasn't this supposed to be a meteor shower? Why did it turn into falling meteorites? This is seriously illogical!

"Boom boom boom!" Unfortunately, no one could answer his question at this moment. Countless dazzling meteors crashed into the skyscrapers. The once peaceful streets were gone, and there were ruins everywhere. Screams and explosions mingled together, forming a beautiful and desolate symphony.

"Natural disaster? Nature's punishment? Alien invasion?" Li Kai stared dumbfounded at everything above him. His values ​​of the past ten years could no longer explain it all, and all sorts of terrible scenarios flashed through his mind.

"Whoosh!" Just then, countless dazzling rays of light broke through the layers of barriers in the sky and sped toward all parts of the world. One of them, a bright green light, rushed straight toward Li Kai.

"Huh? What the hell is this?!" Li Kai was so frightened by the increasingly intense green light that he retreated repeatedly. However, having been cooped up at home for a long time, he had no speed to speak of. Instantly, the emerald green light surged into his body, and the powerful impact shoved him against the wall.

Just as his consciousness was about to be swallowed by the bottomless darkness, Li Kai looked up at the brilliant starry sky once more, his moving lips uttering a sound that only he could hear, "This is really fucking awesome!"

That night was magnificent and beautiful; that night was breathtaking; that night the meteor shower was truly beautiful!
