Born to Be Rebellious [Quick Transmigration]-Chapter 190: The Last World

Chapter 190: The Last World

Sure enough, as Ge Xiu said, in the following days, the boss in this dungeon never appeared again.

The past three days the players were living like in a dream.

They had never experienced such a life in the instance before, there was no ghosts, no bloodshed, no screams, no abrupt death, only the endless rubble and the hazy sky that seemed to never brighten, giving them a weird feeling of realism… Was this place really still inside an instance?

The peaceful days always passed as quickly as running water, and before they knew it, the time arrived.

Everyone stood in the center of the ruins and looked around, feeling extremely complicated.

In less than ten minutes, this instance would come to an end.

It had to be said that the experience in this dungeon really refreshed their worldviews——it felt like everything has ended before it even started.

And they knew very well why.

Either from the shadows or from the light, directly or secretly, everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but sweep towards the young man standing in the distance. He was leaning against a half-fallen wall, resting with closed eyes. He didn’t talk to anyone, but still attracted everyone’s gazes.

The strangeness of this instance stemmed from this handsome young man.

But they didn’t know and couldn’t imagine — what was his identity and how he had done it.

But whatever the answer, one thing was self-evident.

They couldn’t afford to mess with this man.

At this moment, Ge Xiu, who hadn’t said a word until now, opened his eyes without warning, straightened up, turned around and walked towards the crowd.

Those who were watching him secretly felt their heart skip a beat.

They hurriedly looked away, listening anxiously to the other’s regular footsteps approaching little by little.

Ge Xiu looked around casually, and asked:

“Which one of you has a lighter?”

Everyone was slightly taken aback. One of the players, as if awakened from a dream, took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket and hurriedly handed them over.

Ge Xiu shook his head and only took the lighter:

“This is enough.”

After speaking, he put one hand in his pocket and walked slowly towards the ancestral hall still standing in the ruins not far away.

The players looked at each other and saw the same doubts in each other’s eyes.

Seeing the slender figure of the young man going away, everyone hastened to follow.

Ge Xiu walked into the half-covered door of the ancestral hall, looked up at the neatly placed black coffins, then bent down and picked up a piece of human skin puppet that had been torn into shreds.

After three days, the originally moist and soft skin texture had become as dry as paper, emitting a dry rubbing sound with a touch.

Ge Xiu lit the lighter.

Light blue flames rose up in the darkness, reflecting in the depths of his dark eyes, like spots of light jumping in the abyss.

The flames reached the edge of the puppet and the bright flame began to spread to the torn puppet. The pale edges were burned into a pitch black color by the flames and the foul-smelling smoke rose from the point of fire, instantly filling the entire space.

Ge Xiu raised his hand.

The flame fluttered and fell towards the dark coffin.

Ge Xiu’s eyes narrowed slightly, the falling wisp of fire was reflected in his long and narrow eyes, as he whispered to the air:

“Let it burn.”

The next second, a dry wind blew from behind him.

The billowing wind rolled up the loose edges of the young man’s shirt, lifted half of his black hair, brushed over his waist and neck and blew into the dark ancestral hall.

The fire was fuelled several feet high in an instant by the gust of wind, the blazing flames swallowed the pitch-black coffin, spread along the wall and climbed up to the wooden beams and columns.

Ge Xiu slowly retreated to the outside of the ancestral hall, narrowing his eyes in satisfaction, admiring the flames quickly eating away at the huge building in front of him.

The crackling sound of burning wood spread in the wind and the old wooden structure in front of them fell into a sea of flames in an instant.

Although the players were still some distance away from the main building of the ancestral hall, they could still clearly sense the oncoming heat wave, forcing them to take a few steps back subconsciously. As they retreated to a safe area, they stared at the the only still-standing building in the ruins being burned by the flames, the strong wind carried the flames towards the sky, dyeing half of the entire sky red.

The building barely held up at first.

In the blazing and dazzling fire, it stood quietly as if unaffected, unscathed, and calm as before.

But as time went by, amidst the raging flames, the all-purifying flames penetrating everything gradually occupied the high ground, from the coffins, to the old wooden platforms covered with dust, to the wooden beams inside the ancestral hall, finally, the main building of the ancestral hall seemed to be unable to hold on anymore. Its walls and pillars began to deform and twist under the high temperature, burnt marks were showing on the above.

The thick stench from the burning corpses mixed into thick black smoke, it was billowing towards the sky, mixing with the dark clouds overhead.

An ear-piercing scream rose in the wind.

The sharp howl was like glass being scratched with fingernails, resounding through the space in an instant, the vicious hatred contained in it could almost make everyone’s scalp numb. Players were forced to cover their ears with hands, but the hair-raising pervasive hissing and howling still drilled into their ears abruptly, making their brain feel dull pain.

The sky above showed traces of flames.

Like an ignited paper, a hollow empty black spot was slowly revealed, the hole slowly expanded, swallowing the sky.

Rest of the ruins on the ground were slightly distorted at the same time, the whole world seemed to have been engulfed in a sea of flames, collapsing rapidly.

The players stared at the scene in front of them dumbfoundedly, a sense of unreality hit their hearts and they could hardly believe their eyes.

This…

What was going on?

Some players had vague guesses in their hearts, but they didn’t dare to think deeply.

Could it be that… this instance had been destroyed?

How could it be……?

Finally, the remaining survival time in this instance came to an end.

This time, intermittent electric fluctuations could be clearly heard in the mechanical female voice, like a snowflake screen with a bad signal:

“Congratulations, you survived for three days in this instance and won!”

The next second, the eyes gradually blurred, the burning distorted world was swallowed by darkness, like a dark room with lights being turned off, the only thing left in front of their eyes was boundless darkness.

When Ge Xiu opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the blue sky and the clouds floating quietly in the clear sky.

A strange sense of weightlessness came.

Feeling an irresistible pulling force, Ge Xiu stood unsteadily, feeling like the world was revolving in his eyes.

In the shaky sight, he saw the distant block under his feet, the busy flowing streets and the small, ant-like pedestrian heads below. Such terrifying height could make any normal person feel dizzy and scared.

Ge Xiu was pulled to lean forward.

His eyes widened slightly and he subconsciously stretched his hands to his side, trying to find a stable support point, but there was only the empty air within reach.

There was only half of the solid ground under his feet, he couldn’t stabilize his figure, so Ge Xiu could only fall forward unavoidably——

He had already seen the distant ground approaching, when he suddenly felt a cold palm supporting his side.

A strong force came from behind and pulled him back abruptly.

Ge Xiu stumbled back a few steps, his back hit a solid chest, and then he stabilized his steps.

He breathed out slowly, collected himself, and raised his eyes to look at the place where he stood just now.

It was the top of a construction building, with no fences around the edges, surrounded by unfinished elements left by construction workers, where only the whistling wind blowing past the entire top floor could be heard.

Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

The fact game send him there had self-evident implications.

——Go to hell.

It seems that burning that instance in the last world had a big impact on the game.

While thinking wildly, Ge Xiu turned his head to look behind him.

A man with a pale and gloomy face stood behind him, holding his waist firmly with one hand, staring at him with downcast eyes. Those dark and cold eyes were fixedly staring at Ge Xiu, his whole body was like silent as cold like a marble statue.

“Can you come out?” Ge Xiu stood up from his arms and asked in surprise.

The man’s hand rested on the young man’s flexible waist for a moment, and then he retracted it without a trace: “I can now.”

Ge Xiu tilted his head thoughtfully and continued to ask: “Could it be that this game’s restraint on you will also weaken as it weakens?”

The man nodded slightly.

Ge Xiu patted the dust that didn’t exist off his body, and asked again:

“By the way, I haven’t asked yet, what’s your name?”

The man replied without hesitation: “I don’t remember.”

Ge Xiu was startled: “Don’t remember?”

“Yes.”

“Then what do you remember?”

The man lowered his eyes, looked at Ge Xiu’s face deeply, and said seriously:

“Before I met you, my memory was blank and I acted under the control of games, until the moment I saw you. That’s when I regained self-awareness and began to break away from the original program and shackles little by little.”

Ge Xiu was a little uncomfortable being watched by him and subconsciously looked away.

The man continued: “But, although I don’t remember anything, there is one thing I’m sure of.”

“What?” Ge Xiu asked.

The man’s dark and deep eyebrows were slightly soft: “I know you.”

“…”

Ge Xiu took a deep breath, turned his head, and raised his hand to rub his slightly hot ears, muttering: “… You really know how to sweet talk.”

He narrowed his eyes at the man in front of him and said coldly, “I don’t like your tricks, let’s talk about it when you remember my name.”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled softly:

“… …Okay.”

.

Cheng Xiao received a call from Ge Xiu.

Before the other party entered the dungeon, he stuffed his other spare mobile phone into the other party’s backpack so that he could contact him after leaving the dungeon.

He instantly cheered up: “Oh my God, you came out so fast! How was it? Did you find the last instance’s…”

“I’ll be at your house soon, I have something to talk about.” Ge Xiu interrupted his words.

The young man opposite seemed to hesitate for two seconds, and then asked, “Mind if I bring someone?”

“Who?” Cheng Xiao was also taken aback.

“… Forget it, I’m already here, you open the door.”

He heard knocking and Cheng Xiao quickly ran to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw two people standing outside.

On the front was Ge Xiu and standing behind him was a tall, handsome man with a gloomy face. His complexion was pale and bloodless, alike to a nobleman living deep in an ancient castle. His eyes were dark and gloomy and he brought with him the powerful aura that seemed to permeate from the bones, giving others a kind of faint sense of oppression that rejected everyone away, making people instinctively aware of danger and fear.

Cheng Xiao was taken aback: “You are…”

That man with a strong aura out his hand first, the sickly paleness also showing on his slender fingertips, as he politely introduced himself:

“Hello, I’m his boyfriend, nice to meet you.”

Ge Xiu: “…”

Cheng Xiao : “…????”
