The drizzling rain wet the tired Street.
The congested traffic didn’t move at all.
When Feng bujue came back to his senses, he was already sitting in the back seat of a taxi.
The smell of overnight vomit entered his nose, and he quickly woke up.
His gaze first fell on the car window. Through the water-stained glass, he could only see the murky scenery. A strange shadow flitted past the window. He didn’t know if it was a person, a car … Or something else.
!!“We’re almost there, don’t worry. ” A few seconds later, a man’s voice suddenly came from the driver’s seat.
“Where to?” Feng bujue asked the question almost without thinking.
“To where you should be.” The man replied,”all journeys should have an end, shouldn’t they?”
Feng bujue did not comment on the hidden meaning in the answer. The next second, he asked a more direct question.””You’re a ‘God’?”
As he asked the question, Feng bujue tried to get up and move forward to get a better look at the man.
However, he soon realized that … Even though he had that intention, his body seemed to be nailed to the back seat, and he could not control it at all. At most, he could only see the part of the driver’s body below the neck through the rearview mirror.
“‘God’, huh …” On the other side, the driver said in a thoughtful tone,”you can put it that way … But, as you said earlier, if you were in my dimension, I might just be an ordinary person with poor ability to execute things in your eyes.”
Why didn’t you stop fate?” Feng bujue asked.
“Ah … As you can see, I’m stuck in a traffic jam.” The chauffeur’s response was a little off-topic.
“Is it really good for you to be so carefree?” Feng bujue’s tone became more serious.”After the dimensional erosion is completed,’fate’ will replace you. What will you do then?”
“Ha …” The driver laughed.”Then I might as well ask you a question … When you sit in front of the screen and play the game, will the real you suffer any substantial damage from the death of your game character?”
This caused Feng bujue’s expression to change.
“You …” Brother Jue still wanted to say something.
But the driver didn’t wait for him to say anything and said,””That’s right. To me, this world, this universe, and even more multiverses … Are all similar concepts …” He paused.”Since I’ve never existed here, what path should I take?”
Feng bujue was silent for a whole minute.
“Then … Is ‘I’ important to you?” he asked after a minute.
He suddenly asked a rather strange question, but in reality…The fact that he asked this question meant that he understood what the other party was saying.
“Ah … Of course it’s important,” the driver sighed.
“Then why are you doing this to me? Why did you destroy the things I cherish?” Feng bujue asked.
“Don’t you think that you’re very childish for asking such a question?” The driver replied in a slightly disappointed tone,”those things that you naturally got, compared to what you lost, which one is more important?”
He paused for half a second, then raised his voice slightly and said,””When you and I were sitting here and chatting, Shi long was bleeding to protect his family … Brony was being attacked by a large number of monsters for a group of strangers … Jin Fugui, Hong Hu, uncle loser, and the players you saw in the chaotic scorched earth had all lost everything, including their lives.
“These people … These ‘not-so-important’ people, who cares about the suffering they have gone through? And who would question ‘why’ on their behalf?”
At this point, the driver heaved a sigh of relief, stretched his neck, and continued,”You … Want to save everyone, save the whole world … But if I tell you now that you can only choose to save one between ‘the whole world’ and ‘the things you cherish’, how would you choose? More importantly, if this choice was destined from the start, then, do you understand … The meaning of this choice?”
“I don’t understand…I don’t want to understand, and I won’t understand.” Feng bujue replied coldly,”I’m begging you … Please seal my fear again, so I can do what you want me to do.”
“It’s no use …” The driver continued,”it doesn’t matter what my ‘hope’ is. Where you’re going is no longer something I can decide …”
“So … It’s not a coincidence that we’re in this stinky ‘taxi’.” “Even you have to admit that … I am the one who decides where to go, and you are only responsible for bringing me there,” Feng bujue said.
“Yes, I am.” The driver replied.
“Then,” Feng bujue repeated sternly,”now, I hope you can re-seal my fear …”
“Fear …” The driver once again interrupted brother Jue and said,”…It’s not something that really exists.” Fear only existed in people’s consciousness. It was a pure imagination. It made people fearful and alert of things that didn’t exist in reality for the time being or might never exist …
“‘Danger’ is an objective existence, while ‘fear’ is just a choice.”
Creak creak
Just as the driver said ‘choose’, suddenly, from the side of the car that Feng bujue was sitting in, a sharp screeching of brakes came.
Before brother Jue could react, a strong impact, accompanied by a loud bang, knocked him unconscious.
…………
The silent black space seemed to be an endless void.
When Feng bujue ‘woke up’ again, he realized that he was already in the middle of it.
In front of him stood a human figure, a human figure that was half-fused with the black void.
“Come, make your choice.” Even though the figure was so close, it was still impossible to tell what he looked like. However, from the voice, it was clear that he was the “driver” from earlier.
When he finished, a black guillotine appeared to Feng bujue’s left.
Choosing the guillotine will create a universe where ‘Feng bujue does not exist’.” The figure said,”there, you were never born. Everyone you know or don’t know will live a life that you have no interaction with. As for you … You will return to nothingness, and no one will remember you in any form. ” He paused for a second and added,”in such a universe, the plan of ‘fate’ will naturally end in failure at an early stage.”
After he said that, another black throne appeared to Feng bujue’s right.
Choosing the throne will create a universe where ‘Feng bujue stops fate’.” The figure said,”there, you successfully killed ‘fate’ before the dimensional erosion completely ended. However, the broken world could no longer be restored … You will become the ‘winner of the candidate game’, the Savior and ruler of mankind … In a world full of monsters, you will lead the survivors to rebuild civilization.”
Then, behind Feng bujue, another black bed appeared.
“Of course, you can also choose the bed.” The figure continued,”that way … You will return to 15 months ago, to the day you lost your fear. You will wake up from a ‘dream’ with your current memories and start your journey again.”
After explaining the three ‘choices’, the shadow stopped talking. He stood there quietly, waiting for Feng bujue … To make his decision.
