Chapter 395: The end of the second stage, the hanging knife will eventually fall
The cruel facts proved that Lei, who had just inherited the complete authority of the Fairy of Life, was ultimately unable to successfully replicate the complex ritual of death and life.
She failed.
This result was a heavy blow to all the girls present, especially to Lei herself.
On the surface of "Haitang"'s body, the cracks that had just been barely alleviated by the ritual reappeared mercilessly again.
These cracks were more obvious and serious than before, as if silently announcing the complete failure of the ritual.
After seeing this desperate scene, Lei's eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger.
She clenched her teeth, feeling a strong urge in her heart to continue performing the Death and Life Ritual regardless of the consequences.
"No! I can't just give up like this!"
There was an obvious tremor in Lei's voice, and it was obvious that she was under tremendous pressure and pain.
"There must be a way. I will definitely succeed!"
Just at this critical moment when Lei was about to try to perform the Ritual of Death and Rebirth again, Feiying stepped forward decisively.
Her expression was extremely serious, and her eyes revealed deep worry and anxiety.
Feiying conveyed an extremely important message in a timely manner.
"Lei, you have to stop!"
Feiying's tone was full of urgency:
"If you continue like this, the puppet relationship will most likely fall completely after this old dream ends!"
This news came like a bolt from the blue, instantly stunning everyone present.
Lei's attempt to continue performing the Death and Life technique came to an abrupt halt, her face filled with shock and disbelief.
Feiying's warning successfully prevented Lei from wanting to use Death and Life again.
The subsequent development of the plot naturally made the girls present turn their eyes full of doubt and worry to "Haitang".
They were eager to get a clear explanation and answer from "Haitang".
Lei was the first to ask:
"Sister, what is going on?"
There was obvious confusion and uneasiness in her voice:
"Even if the old dreams can really affect the real world, why did Feiying say that you would disappear?"
Jasmine also followed up and asked:
"There has to be some key information in this that we don't know, right?"
"Please tell us the truth. We have the right to know!"
Facing a series of questions and inquiries from Lei and others, "Haitang" responded with an unusually calm and nonchalant attitude.
There was no trace of nervousness or worry in her tone, as if she was discussing something that had nothing to do with her.
"These details are not important."
"Haitang"'s voice was so calm that it was a little disturbing.
Just when Lei, Jasmine and others wanted to continue asking for more detailed information, "Haitang" did not give them the opportunity to continue asking.
She suddenly said:
"A dream is just a dream after all."
"Haitang" paused for a moment, and his eyes became deep:
"Since this is a dream, there will be a time to wake up."
"No dream lasts forever, including this old dream."
After saying this meaningful sentence, the entire environment around him began to undergo strange and incredible changes.
The originally stable space began to become blurred and distorted, just like the reflection on the water surface was disturbed.
The outlines of the buildings began to become unclear and the colors began to fade away.
The girls noticed something was wrong and wanted to take action to stop the change from happening.
But they soon discovered that the speed of change was far beyond their ability to react, and it was too late.
Lei stretched out her hand to grab something, but her hand grabbed nothing.
Jasmine tried to use the authority of the Lord of All Machines to stabilize the space, but found that her ability was insignificant in the face of such powerful fluctuations.
Feiying wanted to rush forward, but found that her body was beginning to become illusory.
As ripples spread out like water waves, the entire mechanical city in the old dream began to turn into pieces of transparent fragments like glass.
These fragments slowly fell in the air, each piece reflecting different light and images.
Then, all the fragments completely shattered and dissipated, turning into nothingness.
at the same time.
The game screen in front of Sakura Fubuki and Hua Yu, who were sitting in front of the computer, also fell into a brief and deep darkness.
There was nothing visible on the screen, just pure black.
After a while, when the game screen returned from darkness, Sakura Fubuki found that her main game perspective had once again returned to the familiar room where the protagonist Feiying entered the Dream of the Old Days.
The layout of the room was exactly the same as when Feiying left, as if the old dream just now was just an unreal illusion.
At this moment, Feiying in the game was struggling to support her weak body and slowly stood up from the ground.
Her movements seemed a little unsteady, and it was obvious that she had not yet fully recovered from the dream experience she had just had.
Feiying looked around and carefully took in the details of the surrounding environment.
Feiying, who had just woken up from a complicated and long dream of the past, was obviously in a daze at this time, and it seemed that she was not fully aware of what had just happened.
There was obvious confusion and bewilderment in her eyes, as if she had just been suddenly awakened from a deep sleep.
After a moment, Feiying's expression suddenly changed.
She suddenly remembered all the thrilling events she had experienced in her old dreams.
At this critical moment in the game, Feiying's low mutterings were also heard at the right time.
"That's right! The Ritual of Death and Life!"
Feiying's voice was filled with anxiety and nervousness:
“I witnessed the complete death-rebirth ritual process with my own eyes.”
She paused, frowning:
"Then there's Haitang... No, it should be the puppet relationship..."
Feiying clenched her teeth and used her not-so-abundant brain cells to think extremely hard about the various complicated events that had just occurred in her dream.
There weren't many clues of thought that she could sort out, and most of the details were still confusing.
But there was one thing she was very sure of.
At the critical moment when the old dream was about to end, the unique aura of authority emanating from "Haitang" was so familiar.
That kind of aura is definitely not something an ordinary doll should have.
Feiying clenched her teeth again, her eyes becoming firm:
"There's definitely something very wrong with that puppet relationship!"
"She must be hiding something important from us. I must go find her and ask her for the truth!"
Accompanied by Feiying's monologue in the game.
Soon, the corresponding new task prompt window popped up in Sakura Fubuki's game interface.
The task objective given by the system is very clear, which is to require players to find the puppet's love and have in-depth dialogue and communication.
The emergence of this task just fits Feiying's current thoughts, and it can be said to be very timely.
Sakura Fubuki accepted this important task without hesitation.
Then, she began to strictly follow the requirements of the task instructions and controlled Feiying to walk out of this room full of memories.
Just outside the door, Feiying happened to meet Jasmine and several other girls who had also woken up from their old dreams.
It seemed that everyone had just recovered from that complicated dream experience, and everyone's face still had some confusion and uneasiness.
Sakura Fubuki controlled the character to walk forward and clicked the corresponding interaction button.
After having several brief but meaningful conversations with them, Feiying learned that others were also confused and puzzled about the dream experience they had just had.
Everyone realizes that things may be far more complicated than they appear.
After completing these necessary communications, Feiying continued to follow the clear instructions of the task and took the elevator to the top floor of the tower with the other girls.
Their goal is clear, which is to find the mysterious puppet lady and ask her some key questions in person.
The elevator slowly rose, and everyone had complex emotions and questions in their hearts.
Soon, they arrived at the door of the room where the doll lady lived.
However, when the door opened, what appeared before the players and the audience was not the puppet scene they expected.
It was another girl who was also a doll - Doll Yi.
After Sakura Fubuki controlled the character to have a conversation with the doll and explained in detail the real purpose of her visit, the doll was silent for a moment.
Then she nodded and motioned for everyone to follow her into the room.
"Come with me."
The voice of the human friend was as calm as ever:
Then, when everyone walked into the room, the scene that appeared in front of the players and the audience in the live broadcast room made everyone shocked and unbelievable.
In the center of the room was a pile of completely disassembled mechanical parts.
The parts were piled together in a mess, and some showed obvious signs of damage and wear.
It is not difficult to see from the various detailed features that these precision mechanical parts are most likely part of the puppet's body.
The once lively and lovely puppet love has now turned into a pile of cold mechanical fragments.
And just at that time.
The main storyline of this stage in the current version has also officially ended.
Still, the familiar [To be continued] prompt box suddenly popped up, temporarily interrupting the development of the subsequent plot.
……
Sakura Fubuki looked at the [To be continued] prompt box that suddenly popped up in front of her, and seemed a little confused.
She blinked, as if she had not yet fully realized what had just happened.
"Ah? Just like that?"
Sakura Fubuki's voice was filled with disbelief and speechlessness:
“It’s stuck at such a critical point?”
Her expression was full of depression and dissatisfaction, and she was obviously very unhappy about this sudden interruption of the plot.
Sakura Fubuki continued to complain:
"And what does that pile of scrap metal on the table mean?"
Her tone became more confused and anxious:
"Didn't you say you were here to find a doll? But where is the doll? Where did my big love treasure go?"
Sakura Fubuki was completely unable to understand the sudden plot development before her eyes, and felt that her brain was a little stuck.
At this time, Hua Yu, who had been sitting next to Sakura Fubuki and watching quietly, said thoughtfully after seeing this shocking plot development in the game:
"From the current situation, if other possibilities are ruled out, then the mechanical fragments lying on the table are probably the remains of the puppet."
