Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore and spoke quietly.

"Andy Weir once wrote a short story with an interesting beginning. In an avant-garde and transcendental way, he discussed works, characters... and the subjective wall that spans reality and art. Now, I plan to write a similar story."

It’s “time”.

No one could understand what she was saying, but no one was unaware of the impending disaster.

The story is set in the Old World, a different world disguised as a game, and the guild channel of "Snake Restaurant" is used as the writing surface.

The god who controls time slowly begins to write—

"You died after logging off.

It was the deer's doing, not particularly fantastical, but deadly nonetheless. You left behind the old world and your present destiny, and died a satisfying death.

The little deer forced you to wear the divine robe and tried to ask you for beauty. You gave it to him, and he was so happy that he was embarrassed from then on.

Your body has been played with so thoroughly that you might as well be dead, believe me."

"Fuck..." Yu Man felt a chill down her spine, and she keenly realized what this person was talking about.

prophecy.

Do not--

They are gods at a higher level who hold the authority of "time" and overlook the future.

And then——I copied it here.

Not only the heroine was angry, but also the other perpetrator.

"Damn it, Bird Old Five, I'm going to kill you." After all the future conspiracies were exposed, the little deer was furious and ashamed.

But "time" is still writing——

"Before that, you saw me

'What, what's going on?' you ask, 'Why are you spoiling the story?'

"Even if I write this, the future will still happen." I said it directly, without any subtlety.

By the time "Time" was written to this point, everyone - including Liu Tong Qi Hua - had already understood where things were heading.

And those who have had their future revealed will eventually have to start facing the coming future.

The amazing thing is that even though "Time" is written like this, she still has her own way of ending it.

"But as I said before, this short story is only interesting at the beginning. The rest is just a medley of clichéd ideas, plagiarizing the genius of old works before World War II. But from this point of view, perhaps the story passed through the Silver Key Gate, arrived in its slightly distant future, and then arrived here again..."

No one could respond.

No one wants to see it.

But this is the atmosphere they are most familiar with.

And—using the same anger towards “time”, Yu Man and Xiao Lu broke all the silence.

Following the trend——

"Just now, Bird Old Five said..." Yu Man knocked on Xiaolu's door in a private message, "Are you really going to do something so despicable to me?"

"Ah."

The deer is extremely frank.

"But if you're not happy, I'll endure it. But you're the only beautiful thing I truly want to have in my life, so I won't hide or deny any of my plans for you."

After being exposed by Cat Laoliu, and using the playoffs with Yu Man to write home, and then being exposed by Bird Laowu's plot -

After experiencing so much shame, Xiaolu was left with only honesty.

So—she confessed.

These words made Yu Man silent for a full three minutes... no, maybe four minutes.

Slowly, Yu Man tried to give an answer.

"Niao Laowu... is a deity who can foresee the future. She said, 'The future will continue to unfold.' I'm afraid this is a fate I can't escape. It's a predetermined one, right?"

"Well, after all—'the future still happens'."

In this way, they choose the future.

Sorry, I have to take another day off.

As the title says, there have been some important things recently that have taken up too much of my energy. In addition, the content of this book is also in a relatively slow stage, so I don’t have much concentrated time to deal with the writing. The same is true for the long hiatus before.

It has been handled properly at the moment and will be updated tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest.

I'm sorry for the delay in updating recently. I'm very sorry.

Chapter transfer: A certain week at an unknown time

At the end of the gravel road—

I heard a voice from a stranger.

"Is your sky—blue, too?"

What a beautiful sound.

Some are like the sea to which this road leads, some are like the beautiful weather this morning, and some are like the smell of orange trees blending into the wind.

The shimmering blue spread out little by little, then filled my entire vision.

Just like—her problem.

"Yu Man."

She called out my name.

It took me a beat to react - it was my name.

After living in this world for many years, I was so detached from reality that I felt unfamiliar with my real name. After all, in this world, people always refer to themselves as—

"eel."

Yes, just as she said.

People always call me that, and it’s also the ID hanging above my head.

Perfect weather, a beautiful day, nothing to occupy my leisure time, I should have walked to the beach and enjoyed the day, lying under those orange trees.

Even if I close my eyes, the colors of the sun, sea and sky still come to me. I hope to just wander in them like that and then take a sticky nap.

But that never came.

It was she who arrived.

She is a stranger, but I vaguely know who she is.

"I feel like this isn't the first time we've met?" I tried to tell her, and my voice was even more playful than I'd imagined. How awful.

This sentence brought a lot of surprise to her face.

She even took a step back as if she was afraid.

I couldn't help but laugh: "What happened? I scared off the final boss?"

She was stunned for a moment, then she smoothed her long hair with her hands, letting the sunlight blend with her gloomy beauty.

Finally, a smile appeared on her face, like endless years, or like a young bud, so beautiful as a unique, new color that even fascinated me for a moment.

"You seem to know who I am." Her tone was so unexpected.

"After all, you have the name GM1 above you." I was quite honest.

"what……"

She let out a small exclamation, then lowered her head with a slightly blushing face and tried to put out the candlelight on the nameplate above her head with her hand.

Although it is completely different from what was imagined, the unextinguishable "GM1" still shows her incredible origin.

"So, you're the... the legendary... the... final boss, right? The oldest god who controls time or something? In short, the final boss?"

I didn't expect to meet her in this way, but after thinking about it, it's not surprising to meet her, after all, I am also very strong.

I also knew exactly what she was here for.

"I've been searching for a long time to complete the game and reach the end. The final boss! After all these years, I still haven't found a way to trigger or defeat it. I guess you're tired of waiting, so you want to come and fight it out with the best player of the moment?"

As I spoke, I realized how rare this beauty in front of me was, so I secretly made a few hand gestures, intending to take a screenshot to commemorate this moment.

but--

Completely different from the sound effects and prompts when taking screenshots in the past, what I got was not a data file, but a void.

A void that is empty, contains nothing, and may even swallow something away.

"No, Yu Man."

Quietly——

The beautiful day was shattered bit by bit by her words.

Her words chilled everything.

"Like I said a long time ago, look, Yu Man, there are only two endings for any player: one is to give up, and the other is to be banned."

"...W-what?" What was she saying? But something was wrong.

Next, she announced my crimes bit by bit.

That means... my ending, and my secret.

"As this week's top player, you used your cleverness to sell off a lot of gold coins in order to have a comfortable place to live and to have an extra ice cream every day when you logged off. You thought you had circumvented the game's detection and completed many real-world transactions with third parties."

I felt a cold sweat coming out of me, and I touched my forehead but there was nothing.

"This is against the rules."

However, the feeling of fear lingered from beginning to end.

It turns out that the sudden appearance of this final boss was not the beginning of the peak battle, but because of the RMT's account ban...

Oh my god...

The devastating feeling fed my anxiety, but in an instant, I didn't miss a word she said.

"You mean... this week?"

Strange word.

I certainly understand what that means, but it doesn't work that way in this game.

However, she did not continue to spread the pressure and panic, and she had put away the doomsday atmosphere at some point.

She just smiled slyly at me.

Nostalgic, beautiful, lonely, and solitary.

“I am Time.”

Her voice was like a leaf that had experienced wandering.

It blooms in spring and withers in autumn.

“I am the reader of all this.”

These words are wrapped in echoes.

How many times have they whispered in the passage of time?

"I love you as always, and I will still be waiting for your witness in the future."

"What? Didn't you say before... that you were going to ban my account?"

What on earth is this guy doing here? He threatens to block my account one moment, and then says he loves me the next. What a hateful guy.

But I can't take my eyes off her, like it was a day long ago, or like it was a future that has not yet arrived.

"Have we met many times?" I asked.

"Countless times."
