Omniscient Reader's Perspective

One more time, an hour before the end of the world

"...Damn, where the hell am I?"

-Han Sooyoung grabs her head and looks around quickly.

The last thing she saw was Yoo Jong Hyuk's figure disappearing into the shower of light.

She took a quick look at her body.

It was a hit.

Her arms and muscles have lost their flexibility.

She doesn't feel any of the stories she's written, the skills she's trained, or even her star marks.

However, this is not a problem.

They've figured out how to deal with these issues when this happens again.

No, the real question is...

"Oops, I don't have much time."

Her smartphone battery was nearly dead, and she couldn't confirm her companion's presence at the moment.

She had managed to download her companion's location from the chat room just now, which was a double whammy.

"...these guys, they're doing just fine without me."

Just a casual glance was enough to give her an idea of ​​their current surgeries.

That's not too surprising, though, considering she was the one responsible for the operation in the first place.

But then Han Soo-young's eyes began to tremble as she scanned a map of the deployment site.

"This idiot..."

She raised her head and looked around.

While the clock is ticking, there seems to be plenty of time.

30 minutes before the end of the world

Li Zhizhi's eyes stared blankly at Zhong, suddenly blocked by a black hair.

"Hey crybaby, are you going to stay for evening class today?"

"No no no"

It's been 28 days since her comeback, but she's still not used to the nickname.

Crybaby.

When was the last time she heard someone call her that?

A long, long time ago, she had other nicknames like that, and she really went back to that time.

"Really? I'm just asking, why all of a sudden?"

The other girl's eyes are wide open, as if smiling.

In the past four years, every day, Li Zhizhi never forgot those eyes.

They belonged to a fair-skinned girl a little younger than herself.

Her school uniform jacket was missing a button.

Her worn name tag with her name on it.

When she opens her eyes, bloodshot pupils stare at her

Li Zhizhi's trembling right hand tightly grasped the pant leg of her tracksuit.

"Wisdom, you'll be fine."

Li Zhizhi grasped her trembling hand in despair.

"You have to live."

"Li Zhizhi?"

Her friend's hand stretched out from the air, and Li Zhizhi avoided it, as if she was ill.

"...ah, sorry. What are you talking about?" she asked hastily.

"How are you?"

"Yes, I am fine."

"Would you like to come with us around seven o'clock?"

"We can't do this!"

Before Li Zhizhi even realized it, he jumped up from his seat and shouted loudly.

The classmates sitting next to her immediately looked in her direction.

She sat down again and spoke again.

"It won't be long before we graduate high school, right? So we have to study hard."

"...crybaby, are you sure you're not sick?"

20 minutes before the end of the world

The bell rang for the beginning of the first evening class.

Li Zhizhi took out a small box from her inner pocket, covered with a piece of crumpled paper.

"Po-ri-ya, here."

"what is this?"

Her friend saw the box and held out her hand.

However, before handing over the items, Li Zhizhi first told her friend unequivocally.

"You can't open it right now, you know? You can only open it 10 minutes before seven, understand?"

"You didn't put insects in it, did you? You know I have a bad heart, right?"

Upon hearing this sentence, Li Zhizhi froze for a moment.

"...No, don't worry. I'll make sure you don't die."

., She finished what she wanted to say, and suddenly stood up from her seat.

Then, she pulled out a long sword hidden behind a classroom locker.

Her surprised friend was still looking in her direction.

"...where are you going?" her friend asked.

"bathroom"

Li Zhizhi left the classroom immediately.Just in time, the head teacher came to her.

"Li Zhizhi? What are you doing? Go back to the classroom! The evening class has already started! What are you carrying?"

"Teacher, are you on duty today?"

It was the moral education teacher wearing horn-rimmed glasses, with a slender figure and haggard eyes.

"Teacher, please don't forget to open the No. [-] locker room in the teacher's room later!"

Li Zhizhi slipped past the teacher, and the teacher quickly put his hand on her shoulder.

"What? Where are you... eh? Why is she so strong... Hey! Lee Chi Chi!!"

Li Zhizhi suddenly sprinted.

She immediately ran down the stairs, entered the staff room, and stole the key to the studio.

She then ran to the third floor, threatening her heart to explode along the way.

In the first case, "Daedong Girls' High School" starts a few minutes earlier than other places

That's why Li Zhizhi was sent to this place.

Panting, she opened the door and saw a rather familiar scene in the studio.

Taipeng Girls' High School prides itself on having fairly high-end broadcasting equipment.

Not only that, but schools are authorized to broadcast to the surrounding area during emergencies.

When she heard the voice of her teacher coming down from upstairs to find her, Li Zhizhi pulled out the emergency power supply she had prepared before.

Then she calmly set up the broadcasting equipment.

As she connected the wires, some of the memories in her mind began to connect as well.

She used to be a staff member here, and at lunchtime, she would play her favorite music.

This is her life.

At least until the end of the world

- She looked at her friends who were still alive and realized it again.

She was the only one who survived that fateful day, and only herself.

"Li Zhizhi."

She was startled by the voice, and looked back, only to find that there was an unexpected visitor there.

"Miss Xiuying?"

She must have been waiting a long time.

Han Xiuying raised her body from the darkness, looked at Li Zhizhi's face quietly, and then spoke.

"You don't look well."

"I'm very good."

Li Zhizhi was silent for a while, and then spoke again.

"This situation. It's about to start, right? Otherwise, I might get suspended later, you know."

"It will start. By the way, you can't start your life here. You should hurry to another place. Let me help you take care of this place."

"No. That's where I need to start."

Li Zhizhi smiled.

"After all, this is where the 'Sword Demon' was born."

Then she inhales slowly.

-The installation of the equipment is finally completed.

10 minutes before the end of the world

, and then, "it" began.

Accompanied by the sound of "goo", one can feel the feeling of "natural" changes in the world.

Then, from an unknown location, there was a sound similar to a drum being ripped.

What happened next was...

[Oh my God.The channel here opened earlier than scheduled.Ah, ah, can you hear me?]

Li Zhizhi looked at Han Xiuying.

As soon as she saw the latter's face, she knew it.have

The humorous thing is that they just live for this moment.

[Everyone don't panic.Let me start by saying that.In this case, it's not about making a movie.This is not a horror event, and you are not dreaming right now.No, everyone, you...]

It was the voice of the ghost she hated most.

Screams rang through every classroom.

[Main Scenario #1 - Proof of Value Has Begun]

This is the signal to start their planned operations.

--Emergency broadcast starts now.

Li Zhizhi's voice came from the speaker.

- Everyone please listen to me.Students in the classroom, please open the cabinet to put cleaning tools, and students in the teacher's room, please open the No. 2 locker room!hurry up!

Li Zhizhi knew.Her companions must now have exactly the same expressions as hers.

Everyone should witness this spectacle through the display screen brought by the ghost.

You don't have to kill each other, at least not this time.

Li Zhizhi thought of her companions, and she recalled the promise she made to them before coming to this world.

"...At least I want to choose what I kill."

Shen Yusheng won't kill puppies anymore, and...

"I will save my aunt."

- Lee Ji Yong will go save the man he hates.

"I'd rather kill myself than join the army again."

Lee Hyun Sung will leave the army and then...

"I really wanted to save that grandma from back then."

Yoo Sang Ah will save the one she didn't save.

"Probability allows only one chance. That is, 'population regression' cannot be used twice

- And Yoo Jong Hyuk will never go back again.

at last...

"At this turning point, I'm not going to be a 'wounded sword devil.'"

As the noise inside the school gradually subsided, Li Zhizhi opened his mouth again.

- Guys, have you found them all?

-Like Kim Solo in the past throwing things at other people...

-Everyone, throw that stuff on the floor with all your stuff!

With these words, Li Zhizhi broke the ampoule she was holding tightly in her hand.

You slaughtered a total of 133 lives

[Slaughter decomposition: 133 frog eggs]

[The coins you get will be halved because you slaughtered defenseless lifeforms. ]

[A total of 6650 coins were purchased]

[Main Scenario #1 - Proof of value has been concluded]

Once again, they'll create a story that won't be found anywhere

The ghost in charge discovered the development of the situation belatedly and appeared in front of Li Zhizhi.

[What... look here, you! What does this mean? How can you...!]

Immediately afterwards, a powerful storm of possibility began to sweep the entire plot.

In addition, the sound of a large number of coins being sucked out also came from an unknown direction.

Li Zhizhi realized what happened here.

- Chu Chu Chu!

[Dear Lord Constellation!! It was a misunderstanding! Director...no, wait! It's not my fault....the list in the bureau...wow!]

,- With the noise of the channel being dismissed, the low-level ghosts screamed and disappeared.

7:00

This is the beginning.

The night sky of Seoul reflected in the studio windows.

She saw a crack open on the other side of the sky.

Metro Line [-]

"Keep calm, everyone! Grab one of these and drop it! Quick!"

Gwanghwamun

"Don't panic, break the bottle you just received on the floor! Do this and you will survive!"

Hospital

"Who else doesn't have ampoules?"

All over Seoul, unexpected events are happening at the same time.

The pre-arranged landscape is changing.

[Incredible achievements happening everywhere simultaneously!][Lots of coins were taken out of the bureau!]

The entire Galaxy trembled amidst the explosion of coins.

[Xingliu was stunned by the sudden upheaval of the plot!] [The ghosts of the investigation bureau panicked at the large number of coins withdrawn, and...!]

[Observing many constellations on the Korean peninsula is...!]

Baptism of coins explodes in the air like fireworks

It's a vision of the end of the world.

Li Zhizhi looked beside her and found that Han Xiuying was also looking up at the sky like her.

Like, she's looking for those who should be watching them from the night sky.

"Let's go save Uncle."

Their action has just begun.

, When I gasped heavily, I regained consciousness.

I don't know how much time has passed

I slowly try to move my body.Arms, legs, shoulders...

There is no doubt that the feedback I get has changed a lot since then.

[Golden only son, you have many things]

.. I smiled wryly, looking down at my shriveled hands.

My fingers are at least a centimeter shorter than last time.

I asked a question in a slightly tired voice.

"How many times have I seen comebacks so far?"

[786]

I had no idea it would be so difficult to use every nerve of yours to read something.

Every time Yoo Jong Hyuk and his crew go through a comeback, I have to go through it too.

Round 0 second round, third round, fourth round, fifth round...

this is the oldest dream

- I read, and read again, stories created by countless choices, and I watch various worldlines swirl from them over and over again.

-The way Kim Duja sees the world as if he is walking on a distant beach

The tide of stories rolls on, rolls on.

Every time something like this happens, I gradually lose something.

When I suddenly remembered something and looked back, I saw the footprints I left behind.

These footprints were quickly washed away by the incoming waves. After staring at the disappearing traces, I continued to walk forward.

Whenever I reflect on the fact that I gradually forgot things in the flood of stories, I start thinking about the regressive turn of my life.Then, happy people who should still live there.

if i knew...

"Um?"

The tips of my hands were shaking.

I suddenly can't remember the regression RPM where I live.

I looked back unconsciously, and the only thing left was Yoo Jong Hyuk's past comeback.

All that's left, will be the desire for "the next story"

I looked down at my hands, much smaller now.

At the end of this long journey, what awaits me?

- Kim Soo-ja recalls the 'oldest dream' he saw in the last scene

Am I going to end up being the oldest dream I've ever seen?

Will I lose all my memory and turn into a mindless giant dreaming of an infinite universe?

he didn't want to end up like that

I need to think, I need to remember.

, when I wake up, my hand is clutching my smartphone, an old habit of mine.

This little world protects me whenever I become overly anxious and tense.

The black screen reflected my face, and its battery died long ago.

I crafted a simple story and used it to operate the phone.

This prompts a familiar wallpaper to pop up.This is where the novel that started it all comes in.

Three ways to survive in a ruined world (final version)

Until now, I have deliberately avoided reading this final edition.

I'm terrified that if I read it, some places will be set in stone.

I don't want the future of my peers' lives to be determined by someone else's story.

But shouldn't it be possible now?

The story of Jindu Company is over, and my ■ is also settled.

If I read this, can't I remember things that I've forgotten

I still don't know who ts123 is.

That's why I'm curious.

What did the author write on this "final version"?

What conclusion did the author draw?

Where and how does this story end?

I suck in my breath slowly and reach for the text file with my fingers.

Like the day I first started reading The Law of Inactivation.

This is the beginning of Jin Duzi's last reading
