In a room under Long Yao, a researcher stared at the screen, on which was Qi Gao, who was lying on the ground, horribly injured.

"It's reached the limit, not only is the body seriously damaged, but even the consciousness has begun to blur, and it must be stopped immediately. …… No, you have to send him an oracle first, and in his current state, it may be a harm to him to stop the experiment rashly. ”

"Has it come to this point?" Shi Tu lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"The odds of success are not high, and there is no way to do it."

"Try again one last time, release all the stored divine power in one go, maybe there is still a chance."

"Our experiment was originally to provide Qi Gao with a specific environment, with a small amount of divine power to stimulate, supplemented by fighting, so that the longer Qi Gao fights, the more tired his body is, the more likely it is to draw out the potential of his body, and the greater the chance of success.

If you release all your divine power in one go, you can stimulate it,...... Didn't we think about it in the first place? But because it was too dangerous, once it failed, it was death, and there was no room for roundabouts, so I thought of the current way. ”

"It's a little bit, just a little bit." Shi Tu's eyes sparkled, "Although it didn't succeed, Qi Gao worked much harder than I thought, as long as he did it again, he wouldn't be far from success." ”

"If it fails, how can Chen Mengyuan explain it? Maybe the already discordant relationship will deteriorate again. ”

"I'll take care of her there."

"That'...... All right. ”

As if making a difficult decision, the researcher picked up the phone.

……

Tired!

Both ** and spirituality have reached unprecedented limits.

This situation is no longer explained by exhaustion, it is like overdrawing life, even the power that should not be there, belonging to the future, has been used.

It's so dark!

It is not the darkness without light, nor the darkness of the mind born of despair.

Rather, the never-ending void that surrounds the body that makes people want to sleep forever, as long as you close your eyes a little, as long as you relax a little, you can no longer be tormented by fatigue.

Why?

Would I stay in this kind of place?

Oh! I remember, I'm here to be stronger!

But is it really that important to get stronger? Am I the kind of person who works so hard to get stronger?

I still clearly remember that once in the midterm exam, because I did too badly, I was named by the teacher in class, and I was told by my parents when I went home. At that time, I made so much determination that I didn't know how many poisonous oaths I made, promising to learn well. The result? How many days have you worked hard to read the book?

However, compared with the current one, the hard work of reading books is nothing but a heavyweight, so why do I still insist on it?

Do I have a reason why I have to be stronger?

Protect your family? Siege the city? Maintaining world peace?

Hehe!

It's so funny.

I don't need to be stronger at all, because aren't there a lot of people who are stronger than me? The idea of expecting a weak person like me is a mistake in itself.

That's right, I just want to be bored, I just want to have some time to daydream, I just want to ...... It's just the same.

If, not a worshipper of God, if, did not meet Chen Mengyuan, if, didn't understand so much, what if......

I wouldn't have worked so hard, I wouldn't have had so much trouble, I wouldn't have been like now, lying alone on the ground in agony and waiting for death to come.

So, forgive me, I really, really,...... I really can't hold on anymore.

Qi Gao could clearly feel that his consciousness was drifting towards the eternal darkness, but he didn't want to make any resistance.

That's fine?

A ray of light met Qi Gao's eyes, and then quickly expanded, and when he reacted, Qi Gao found that he had come to a snow-white world.

At the same time, the strange thing is that Qi Gao was surprised to find that not only the surrounding scene had changed, but even the fatigue of his body and mind had been swept away. Now he is like he has just woken up, and everything that happened just now seems to be just a dream.

"Where is this? Why am I here? ”

Qi Gao looked around suspiciously, he clearly remembered that he had finally lost consciousness.

Don't...... This is the afterlife!

Impossible! Although I did end up in a bad state, I didn't just die, right?

"But if that's not the case, why am I here?"

"This is where your heart is going."

Suddenly, a strange and familiar voice sounded behind him.

Qi Gao turned his head abruptly, and after seeing the person who was speaking, Qi Gao finally knew why the voice he heard was both strange and familiar.

The person standing behind him looked exactly like him, and since he looked the same, of course his voice was the same.

Looking at the person in front of him who was wearing a black cloak and looked exactly like him, Qi Gao couldn't help but take a few steps backwards and pull away from him.

"Who are you? Why do you look the same as me? ”

"I am your shadow, your path, your future, and your hope."

“……？”

What is this guy talking about? Don't think it's okay to say something cool.

I don't know why, Qi Gao instinctively hates this guy in front of him, if he wants to ask why, it may be because this guy is obviously very similar to him, and his voice is the same, but he looks many times more handsome than himself.

Damn it! Forget that others are more handsome than me, even a guy who looks exactly like me is more handsome than myself, is this going to make trouble? Isn't it a matter of appearance? Is it because of my existence that I can't be handsome?

"Forgotten? This is the second time we have met. ”

"Oh?"

Qi Gao really forgot.

I don't know when, the figure of the man has come to Qi Gaode's side, and his finger lightly touched Qi Gaode's chest.

"Your desire, I will fulfill it for you, what you want, I will give you, you have to do it, just say it."

“…… Who are you? ”

"Isn't that what you're trying to see?"

"You mean, you can draw out the divine power in me?"

"So to speak."

After working hard for so long, experiencing so much pain, and even thinking about giving up, now that it is finally about to be realized, it is obviously something that should be happy, but Qi Gao retreated.

In the depths of his heart, there was a voice that kept warning him, absolutely not agreeing, absolutely not accepting, this is a road of no return, once he steps in, he will only be greeted with regret.

"Why refuse?" As if he saw Qi Gao's inner thoughts, "This is the Chen Mengyuan you look forward to, the path she took is also the only way for those who worship the gods to become stronger." ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, but everyone has their own path, and the path of the eldest sister may not be my path, and your path is even less my path."

From the bottom of his heart, Qi Gao desperately wanted to deny the person in front of him.

"My way is your way!"

Sighing, his right hand passed through Qi Gao's chest, only holding Qi Gao's heart, which was still beating.

“！”

Qi Gao stood upright, wanting to resist, but his whole body couldn't lift a trace of strength.

"What the hell do you want to do!"

"It didn't exist, it didn't mourn ,......"

"You?"

A bad premonition hit Qi Gao.

"Eternal vanity, all vanity, only one ,......"

"Enough! Stop it! ”

The bad preview is getting more and more serious, although I don't know what the other party is doing, but once he succeeds, it must be the ending that Qi Gao doesn't want to see.

"God and my heaven and earth, strange places, welcome ......"

"Ahh Well...... Wow......"

With the heart as the center, countless heat streams spread out and flowed to every bone and muscle in his body.

"This is the path you chose, the vow you made then, and now it's time to fulfill it."

"Damn!" Qi Gao's whole body trembled, although his body was very uncomfortable, his spirit was unexpectedly clear, "I don't remember what the agreement is, where do you think this is a bloody TV series?" And it's not such a beautiful promise to get married when you grow up! ”

"There is only one path for the worshippers, right or not, hope or not, regret or not, as long as you desire strength, you must go on, all you can do is to go further."

“…… What exactly is the path of the worshippers? ”

"Faith."

"No kidding?"

"There can only be one faith in a person's life, and he can only continue to move forward along the faith in his life."

"I don't even know what my faith is, how do you want me to move forward? At least tell me, what do I believe in? ”

"My way is your way...... What is Heart? The heart is thinking, not for blessings, not for expensive, along my established path, eyes, reflecting the scenery in front of me, the end of the road, lonely emptiness, sitting alone on the high ground. ”

"Say something inexplicable, and, you are very wrong, I will not be blessed? Not expensive? Me, the biggest dream in this life is to have countless money, endless beauties, the end of the road, the lonely void, that kind of place, which fool will go? ”

"Accept my power."

The figure of the other party became fainter and fainter, and slowly melted into Qi Gao's body.

"Maybe I have chosen the path you said, but I will never go on, the reason why people are human is because they can know their mistakes and can change, since I know that this path is wrong, it is impossible to continue walking."

Despite the pain, despite knowing that things could not be changed, Qi Gao's eyes were brighter than ever.

"The source is the origin of all things, and the task of our people is to inquire into everything and grasp the truth."

Qi Gao didn't notice that a round dazzling spot appeared on his back, and at the same time, a firm and beautiful female voice sounded in Qi Gao's mind.

"You are?"

Another unknown person appeared.

"Source Heart."

Qi Gao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the name, and when he first heard the voice, Qi Gao thought it was another female doppelganger of him.

However, although he breathed a sigh of relief, why did the voice of this person named Genjie Xin appear in his head?

"God, who is just a tool of man, is arrogant in his vain attempt to determine man's path."

I'll go, the most arrogant is you!

Qi Gao didn't want to complain, but listened to what she said.

"Can you help me?"

"The meaning of the existence of our race is exactly that."

Immediately afterward, Qi Gao felt his body lose consciousness as if he had been thrown into a furnace, after a moment of pain.

When he lost consciousness, Qi Gao faintly heard it.

"There is no point in escaping, today you got the strength you wanted, but next time? One day you will come here again, and then, you will kneel and ask me to give you strength. ”

Cut, there will never be a second time for this kind of thing, and in the future, I will definitely work hard to become stronger, and no longer follow crooked ways.

When he opened his eyes, Qi Gao found him lying on the ground, not only did his body not show a trace of exhaustion, but his injuries were all healed.

"It's over? It's really not ordinary hard work! ”

Qi Gao sighed and stood up

"But the strength hasn't increased much, has it?"

Suddenly, Qi Gao found that he had now broken away from the transformation.

Just as Qi Gao was about to transform and try how much his strength had increased, the stone door of the room opened, and Shi Tu walked in.

"Congratulations."

"Humph! You don't know how much I've been through. ”

"Oh? Tell me about it? ”

“…… Why do I want to tell you? ”

Qi Gao originally planned to tell Shi Tu about the strange things that had just happened, but as soon as he saw Shi Tu and saw Shi Tu's smiling face, he didn't want to say it.

"That's a pity." Shi Tu handed over a white coat that looked like a hospital doctor's, "Here you go." ”

At this time, Qi Gao noticed that all the clothes on his body were broken, and he was now ** body.

Qi Gao hurriedly took the coat and put it on.

"I think you're tired too, how about taking a bath?"

To be honest, Qi Gao is not tired at all now, but he is still very energetic, and because the blood of the devotees disappears when he dissolves the transformation, his body is also very clean now.

But what about taking a bath? You don't think about the large hot springs or large bathhouses in TV anime, right? Thinking that it was really possible, Qi Gao hurriedly agreed, he hadn't been in that kind of place for more than ten years.
