The damp and uncomfortable mist made the already murky air even more suffocating.

On a road that looks like it was dug out of a disaster movie, the traffic doesn't move.

When Gu Qinghan came back to his senses, he was already sitting in the passenger seat of a taxi.

Aside from the suffocating dullness, the smell of blood in the air seemed to be after the slaughter, and these unpleasant smells entered his nose and made him feel sick.

His gaze first stopped at the window, but through the blurred pane of glass, he saw the scene as if it had been mosaic. I could only vaguely see a twisted shadow passing by the car window, and I didn't know what it was.

At least not like a human being.

"Hello, another representative of the Universe Network." About two seconds later, a man's languid voice came from the seat behind him.

"Who?" Gu Qinghan had a question in his heart almost at the same time.

"Ah, in your worldview, I'm just like Lucifer, a fake character in the comics." The man replied, "Aren't all of us imagining by another group of people, aren't we?" ”

Gu Qinghan obviously didn't want to look for clues from this rather metaphysical sentence, but directly asked him a more purposeful question: "You are Saitama?" ”

Seeing this, you may ask, isn't the image of Saitama in the comics just a bald man, as long as Gu Qinghan turns around, you can see it.

But-when he asked this question, Gu Qinghan had already tried to turn his head, trying to see the person's appearance clearly.

However, in the next second, he noticed an anomaly, his body seemed to have been modified, and he couldn't even reach the basic turning movement, and the organs below the chin didn't obey the call at all; The most he could do was move his facial features with his eyes rolling, and that didn't allow him to see the person behind him.

"'Is this important?' Behind him, Saitama asked rhetorically in a very confused tone, "In your opinion, Saitama is an absolutely powerful god that no one can defeat, right?" However, if you get rid of all your knowledge of me, do you think Saitama will be a god again? ”

"Okay, stop talking about it." Gu Qinghan said impatiently: "Your guy's combat power is simply immeasurable, and the super three can't beat you." ”

"Ah...... That's just the old me, or what you think Saitama is. At this moment, Saitama's answer was a little underwhelming: "If you don't believe it, you can look back?" ”

"You guy, really..."Gu Qinghan still subconsciously turned his head, but this time, he succeeded.

Then, when he saw the face of the man in the back seat, his expression stiffened.

"When did you get your hair?!"

"Heh......" Saitama heard this, but ignored the horror in his eyes and laughed: "I'm sorry, if I were in the same state before, would this universe still be like this?" ”

These words made Gu Qinghan only feel a chill on the top of his head.

Physiological coolness.

"You...... This...... I ......" Obviously, at the moment he was shocked by Saitama in this ordinary state.

But Saitama didn't give him much time to be shocked, and took the lead in saying, "Boy, if one day, you know that the whole world you live in, the whole planet, and even all this happening are all set by someone, what would you think?" ”

Gu Qinghan blurted out: "Hey, now you already know that you are a comic character, so what's the point of saying such things?" ”

Saitama stared at him, was silent for a while, and then said, "I'm talking about you. ”

Gu Qinghan sighed: "Ah-you mean, I'm also an anime character created by someone like you?" Or the main character in a comic book? ”

"Probably just a novel, to be exact." Saitama corrected.

"Don't you think that's boring? Anyway, where is this, a different space similar to Billy? Or is it the inner world? Gu Qinghan replied in a slightly boring tone, "First of all, I was sent by the bastard Scp-3999 to help you, and secondly, I don't know why they asked me to come over. ”

He paused for a moment, and his tone became plaintive, "It's really boring..."

"So, you don't believe what I say at all, you're just a character in a novel." Saitama continued.

Gu Qinghan replied: "It's not that I don't believe it, but why should I believe it, why should I believe the words of a comic character to refute my existence in reality?" ”

"You know, while we're chatting here, those characters who seem to you to be illusory are bleeding to protect this broken planet. That foul-mouthed Lucifer who once had hundreds of millions of Hell Followers, but now he is the only one left. And all the Heroic Spirits in the Fate series have died to the point where Artoria is the only one left, and these guys who seem to you to scoff at each other, who have been randomly taken for something that seems impossible, not only find that they are just fictional characters, but have lost everything. ”

"Maybe in your opinion, these guys are not important at all, and even some thorns, some unreasonable, but you are the ones who created us."

At this point, Saitama looked out the window and continued, "In other words, this scene is just a dispensable option. He buried so many games, just to see how far you can go, whether what you do will satisfy him, he doesn't need you to save the world, and he doesn't want you to become those cliché characters, he wants you to break the rules and become a character with his own thinking. ”

"Him?" Gu Qinghan sneered, "So you mean, I'm really a created, poor two-dimensional creature?" ”

"Those so-called saving this plane are just a panic that he can't go through." Saitama continued, "He couldn't control it, so he left the choice to you as the main character." ”

"I don't understand, and I don't want to understand what you mean." Gu Qinghan said, "Now that I'm tired of it, you're talking so much nonsense with me here, do you want to tell me the way to save you, or just talk to me?" ”

"There is no way to save it, and when you come to this plane, everything we have lost before will be dispensable." Saitama rubbed her hair, and her tone changed to that languid look again. "You're here just a wrap-up to this scene."

Gu Qinghan suddenly said sharply: "So what the fuck do you want to say..."

"Do you choose to accept the reality that you are a character in a novel, or do you choose to ignore it?" Saitama interrupted him and said, "Don't worry, no matter what you choose, this time the scene will be over, and you don't have to bear the ending about us, you just have to make a choice." ”

"Right now?" Gu Qinghan asked.

"If you're ready, now is it."

Just as Saitama finished saying the last two words, suddenly, before Gu Qinghan could react, a violent feeling of dizziness followed, causing him to lose consciousness.

……

In the white space, after Gu Qinghan regained consciousness, there were already people in it.

In front of him, there was a figure busy in front of the computer—a thin, dark figure.

"So, come and choose." As soon as he saw the figure, a voice came to his mind that he couldn't distinguish the timbre.

"Select the black button, and you'll be completely out of the book's premise and into a being that can break the third wall, and the author of the book you're in will lose your existence. You will take his place as the writer of the being, and you will continue to live in this book, but you will become a god. ”

As soon as the words fell, a black button appeared in front of Gu Qinghan.

"Select the white button and everything will continue, this scene will still end, and you will move on to the next scene, no one will know the decision you made, and you will just take it for granted that you passed this scene. And you're still a character in a book. ”

As Gu Qinghan thought, another white button also appeared in front of him.

"So, whichever I choose, this boring game is over, right?"

"Of course." The voice replied.

"Heh..."At this time, Gu Qinghan's face became more and more gloomy, "That's... It's so much fun. ”
