The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

"If you're looking for feedback, that's probably not possible right now."

"The game instance I'm in charge of is currently in start mode. I need to wait until this game is successfully declared over before I can move around freely."

"Thinking about this filled me with excitement."

Jack covered his empty heart with his right hand; there was nothing there, not even a heart.

"I think I'll be able to meet my people in other instances."

After listening to what Jack had said, Li Can's gaze was fixed on Jack's chest, and she seemed lost in thought.

"But Jack, there's a logical dead end here."

"Sir, please speak."

"That means you can't be the only one wandering around. Without me, we can't awaken the memories of the other dungeon NPCs." Li Can spread his hands.

"In their daily lives, they are completely immersed in the story background and program set up for them by the pseudo-aliens."

"No matter what you say or do, you are not in control of your own destiny."

"Just like you were before I entered the instance today, you should have some understanding of that, right?"

Li Can knew very well that not all NPCs in dungeons were like Jack, who, while still an NPC, could be easily manipulated with a few words.

This is the wisdom and talent that the dwarves possessed through their birth.

But he cannot guarantee the same for others.

Li Can predicted that Jack had a high chance of successfully turning his own people against him. Among the dwarves of the same bloodline, even if some were less talented, they wouldn't be that much worse.

The problem lies in his forward execution of the Soul-Trapping Technique and his reverse execution of the Soul-Returning Technique.

Without fully regaining their memories, no matter how hard he and Jack try, even if those people are turned and awakened today, they will soon be suppressed by the program devised by the NPCs after just one night's sleep.

Under such circumstances, Li Can did not trust anyone.

They would never risk cooperating with them.

One wrong move and you could be betrayed and bitten by an NPC.

If we alert them, it will also implicate Jack, who has already awakened.

The worst-case scenario is that the pseudo-aliens discover the anomaly, making it difficult for him to find a breakthrough from the NPCs in this dungeon game.

"Sorry, Mr. Player, I think I got a little too excited just now." Jack rubbed his temples, gradually calming down.

Li Can looked at him with some curiosity, "If you were to have a doll's body inhabited like this, would you also have the five senses of a real human?"

"Yes, Mr. Player," Jack continued, "Although the Pseudo-Stars are our collective enemies, I have to admit that they are technically very good at this."

"It's pretty good. We can study it and then make a batch to test the waters." Li Can reached out and pinched Jack's arm, the texture of the flesh was very well reproduced.

It looks exactly like a real person.

As he kneaded it, he suddenly recalled some past events.

Going back from this moment, it was probably thirteen years ago, he thought.

"If you are all the remaining souls of the dead, then Little Monster and the others should be alive now, having changed into new doll bodies."

Li Can was somewhat moved.

When he realized that the little monster might not be "dead," he felt a glimmer of hope.

"Hmm?" Jack asked, somewhat puzzled. He gently removed Li Can's hand from his arm. "Sir, who is Xiao Guai?"

Li Can shook his head. "An old friend from a dungeon, I once thought he was dead."

"Is he a very important friend?"

"I guess so..."

"If I have the chance, I hope I can help you find him and tell him about your feelings for him," Jack said seriously.

"Life is but a few moments, and I hope you, Mr. Player, will not have any regrets."

"I don't want any more of our people's tragic past to happen anywhere."

"In this life, for various reasons, we often don't say many of our true feelings. I think we should learn to express ourselves boldly in our limited lives."

"If you like someone, don't hesitate to praise them; if you miss something, tell them in time. Only in this way can you avoid regrets."

"It was worth living in this world."

Jack was earnestly sharing his views with Li Can.

After his recovery, he was always filled with emotion. In the moment when he felt powerless, every second he spent with Li Can gave him an extra second of urge to confide in her.

Li Can smiled with some surprise, "You're right, but you also know it's not that simple."

"That's true, it goes against human nature, people are always saying one thing and meaning another..." Jack seemed to recall something from the past and sighed.

Then, as if remembering something, he said anxiously, "Sir, you don't have much game time left..."

"Also, regarding the matter we just discussed, do you have a better solution?"

"Also, regarding the matter we just discussed, do you have a better solution?"

Li Can ignored the countdown timer; he had a good grasp of timing and wasn't afraid at all.

"Oh, you mean you want them to regain their memories like you, and also be able to re-inhabit the doll's body without dissipating, so they can work together in the future?"

"Yes, but it sounds like it's too difficult, impossible." Although Jack said that, the expectant look in his eyes as he looked at Li Can didn't lie.

In his eyes, Li Can was like a god descending from heaven, a miracle worker who had never seen anything like him, even though he had lived for so long.

Li Can looked at him and nodded in agreement, "That's right, I can't do it yet."

The light in Jack's eyes dimmed instantly.

He's now in a situation where "even a skilled cook can't cook without rice," so what's the use of him just being able to enter and exit dungeons?

"If only you could take me through the dungeons and awaken each NPC one by one," Li Can mused, stroking his chin.

Jack: "Sorry, I don't have that much authority..."

Li Can waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about it. What if your permissions are upgraded in the future? Then this matter can be accomplished."

"But I don't know how to upgrade, and it might take who knows how many years. Can we really afford to wait that long?"

"Jack, don't despair. Although I can't do it, I have someone here who should be able to," Li Can interrupted him.

"Don't move around here, I'll be right back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jack saw a round compass suddenly appear out of thin air in Li Can's hand.

He held the compass in his hand and muttered some obscure and difficult-to-understand formulas. The compass, which was originally only the size of a palm, suddenly increased in size and area.

In the sky above the instance, a golden circular time compass, about twelve meters in diameter, hovered in the air, constantly flashing with dazzling light.

"despair."

"despair."

"despair."

The sound of the compass needle clicking and moving could be heard.

In a dungeon world with only two players, it appears exceptionally clear.

Jack felt a chill run down his spine as he watched all this.

This player is simply inhuman...
