Chapter 50: Awakening

"Everything that is born in this world is nothing but a slave to fate, and so are we, although we activate our talents, we are still the playthings of this fate...... And all we can do is rebel...... Become the master of your destiny. ”

Thinking of this, Faust looked at Ruth again: "Alas! I don't know exactly which direction the future holds...... But for us, there are no good or bad results...... It's just that we define whether the future is good or bad, and that's all the same. ”

This time, I don't know why Faust felt a lot, he had never thought about these things, and he had never thought about what the future would be, but at this moment, he finally came to his senses, and finally understood what he had to do.

They're in this game, they're being played with by this game, and in a way it's fate, in other words, they're being played with by fate.

What they are doing now is to rebel against this fate, fate makes them die, then they must live, this is a game of cannibalism.

Almost everyone was immersed in it.

"I'm going to ruin this game......"

Faust thought of this and looked at Wang Feng: "You think so too!" ”

Ruth on the side interrupted him: "No...... That's what all of us think...... That's why we're coming together. ”

Both of them knew that this was not child's play, and it was not casual talk.

When everyone bows their heads and is at the mercy of others like puppets, someone must stand up and bear all this, and when everyone is reluctant to resist, someone must come out to resist.

Before, almost everyone, both in-game and out-of-game, was running away, but now they don't.

Life is nothing more than two choices, either live or die, people are inherently dead, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than the feathers, or they will be other people's puppets for a lifetime, and others will have the final say, or they will rebel against fate and control their own life and death.

This heaven and earth are prisons, everyone is in this prison, these prisons bind people all the time, people don't know because they only want freedom, but that freedom is just a useless accessory, the freedom they want, in fact, is just to want to control their own destiny, who doesn't want to control their own destiny?

No one wants to be in charge of their own destiny, but they know that fate is too difficult to control, because everyone is a slave to fate.

"Can you tell me about the Void Race?"

Faust, the nihilistic race he met before, didn't know whether he was friend or foe, but seeing that the kind of behavior they did was no different from the enemy, Faust had to be prepared, and Ruth had been in the gap in time, so she naturally knew everything well, and maybe she could get something about the nihilistic race from this woman's mouth.

Ruth thought for a moment: "Actually, I don't know much about that race, because this race has been a mystery from the beginning, and no one knows why it exists in this world?" This race is much more powerful than those evil gods...... Because they are not bound by anything and are virtually invincible...... All things were born out of nothingness from the beginning...... And the Void Race was born long before Nothingness was born. ”

Ruth is only at the bare minimum for everything about this race, and she can't help Faust.

"But one thing is certain, the Void Race will hardly interfere in the affairs of humans and evil gods, and our current battle in time and space is to deal with evil gods...... During this time, the Void Race did not do anything to us, nor did they help the evil gods...... It's completely neutral, and no matter how much trouble we cause, it's as if we don't know about it. ”

Ruth was stunned for a moment when she said this: "But I really don't understand, why did you meet nothingness this time?" ”

Faust didn't understand why they had met nothingness, and he tentatively asked Ruth, "Could it be because of the timeline?" ”

Ruth nodded, thinking that it should be the same thing, that changes in the timeline would have many serious consequences, and these serious consequences could lead to a worldwide catastrophe.

"Didn't you just say that according to the previous timeline, we wouldn't have come to Watertown at all? So why are we in Watertown now? I'm thinking about that right now. ”

Faust sensed something was wrong, and he felt that there must be something involved, and according to what Ruth had just said, it was basically certain that the three of them should not have met the so-called Void Race, and they would not have suffered such a thing.

But now that something has happened, what is the reason? Faust couldn't help but feel that someone was behind it, but now he didn't have conclusive evidence to point out his inferences.

"You've been on a boat and you've been in London all the way to London, and you're not stopping in Watertown...... And you will not meet the so-called Void Race, let alone what is happening now. ”

Ruth speaks of the timeline before Faust's trio, and now the timeline of the trio has deviated too much from the previous timeline, thus forming a new timeline.

"Wait...... The matter of Watertown was deliberately arranged by someone...... Ruth...... Are you ignoring something? Are you the only one who jumped into Wang Feng's timeline? ”

"It's not...... There's also a guy named Jason......" Ruth's expression changed: "Could it be that guy did this kind of thing?" ”

Faust nodded and suddenly realized, he finally understood who the enemy the three of them really had to face: "I guess it's that guy...... Since you fell into Wang Feng's timeline and are not dead, but were left in the gap of time, then that guy is probably not dead, but has gone somewhere else...... In the future, we are changing the timeline of the past, and this guy is also changing the timeline, we are trying to make everything go in our favor, but that guy is different, he wants everything to go in a bad direction. ”

Hearing Faust say that, Ruth also suddenly realized: "Why did I do this kind of thing before."

Didn't expect that? This is indeed an oversight on my part...... I thought that after Jason's guy entered Wang Feng's timeline, he had been divided into pieces by the timeline, and I never thought that that guy was still alive. ”

Ruth hadn't paid attention to it before, but when she heard Faust's words, she finally realized that the guy named Jason was still alive and was thwarting them all.

Faust didn't expect that there would be so many enemies for them, and he was a little panicked: "If it's Wang Feng, what will Wang Feng do?" ”

"He should be able to say, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth!"

Ruth smiled slightly: "This guy is always like this...... I once asked him and he said he liked the thrill. ”

"What kind of feeling do you like the thrill?"

"If he thinks of a way to do it at the beginning, then things become a little boring, he likes to think of a way when danger comes, and that feeling of tension and excitement will make his adrenal glands soar quickly." Ruth looked at Wang Feng and said, "He once told me that this guy often sees himself as the protagonist, and everything he is experiencing now is an adventure, as long as this story continues, then he will not die...... He never believed he was going to die......"

"Hmph, that's interesting...... What if you die? ”

Faust laughed, remembering what Wang Feng had done before, as if this was indeed the case.

"If it's dead. It proves that he is not the protagonist, he is just a mediocre supporting character, and if he dies, he will die. Life without being a protagonist is boring...... Of course, there is another consequence, and that is that his story has come to an end. ”

Ruth looked at Faust: "That's why I said it's funny, I do like his words, but I can't be as ...... as him"

Faust agreed with Ruth's statement very much: "Because only Wang Feng can say this, and only Wang Feng and others cannot be replaced, so we can't be like him at all." He paused for a moment and then added: "Everyone is the protagonist in their own story, a supporting role in someone else's story......"

The two of them didn't say anything more, and they both began to get busy with their own things and waited for Wang Feng to wake up.

Time passed like this, because those memories needed to be integrated with Wang Feng, so it took extra time, and Wang Feng had been in a coma.

"How long will it take for those memories to be fully digested by Wang Feng?" Faust asked Ruth with some concern.

"I don't know about that...... But it should wake up soon...... But I didn't expect it to take that long. ”

Wang Feng has been in a coma in bed for about a month.

During this time, Faust has been researching for information about the Void Race, and of course he is also paying attention to the literature of the evil gods.

Ruth travels between the current timeline and the time-war every day.

Faust once asked Ruth about the Plane War, but Ruth refused, telling him that it was best not to ask.

Although curious, since Ruth can say that, she must have her own reasons.

However, Faust is already deeply involved in the battle of time and space, because it seems to hide many secrets, and these secrets are enough for people to pursue and explore, the more unknown things are, the more attractive they are, and the moment they are attracted by these things, the danger can be regarded as the official beginning.

It took almost a week or so for Wang Feng to wake up from his coma.

He looked at everything around him and felt strange, and his head ached wildly.

"Where am I?"

Wang Feng lowered his head, and his breathing began to become rapid.

"You're finally awake......"

Faust saw Wang Feng wake up, and his heart blossomed.

"But my head hurts right now! What's going on? ”

"You've met the Race of Nothingness, and that guy has cleared your memory and thrown you into a parallel world."

A woman's voice made Wang Feng extremely excited, and he raised his head and looked to the side: "Ruth......"

Ruth nodded, "You've finally woken up......"

Faust coughed and looked unhappy: "There's no need to show affection in front of me!" This is the real Ruth...... The ones you met before were actually just Ruth's clones. This woman has always been in the middle of time, so there is no need to worry about ......"

"It's really good that Ruth isn't dead......"

Wang Feng laughed, and then he frowned: "So what happened, can you tell me?" ”

Faust hurriedly explained to Wang Feng and told Wang Feng what Ruth had told him.

"By the way, why did you leave me in the first place? And then go to the water source by yourself? ”

Wang Feng is still haunted by this matter.

"You remember that!" Faust sighed: "I am indeed to blame...... Because the disaster in Watertown reminded me of something, I decided to investigate it myself, and the meat ball you and Ruth saw at that time was just a switch...... And you flip that switch, and you release what's inside. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Wang Feng didn't want Faust to explain such an inconsequential matter, he just wanted Faust to explain all the ins and outs of the matter.

Faust was also a little reluctant to agree to Wang Feng to tell him about his affairs.

"There was a great flood, and there were all kinds of corpses floating above the flood, and these corpses looked very strange, some looked like people, but some looked like animals...... The corpses caused quite a bit of panic, and I sent them to investigate...... At that time, Tesla also wrote to me and told me about it. I didn't believe it at first, because I hadn't recovered my memories at the time, and I was still a godless

Commentator, it feels like Tesla is joking with me. Faust sighed and laughed: "So I didn't believe what he said at all, I really can't understand how a person who loves science can believe these strange legends." Moreover, these legends are too bizarre, and I have met many local villagers before, and they have told similar legends, as well as those monsters. So I decided to stay in that place and rented a house. ”

Faust rented a house in the mountains and began to settle down, and the villagers saw Faust's strange face and persuaded him not to go deeper into the forest.

During this time, Faust had been investigating cases of floating bodies that had been fished ashore and identified as humans, but mostly unknown.

The corpses all had one thing in common, and Faust didn't know how to deal with it, because all the clues were extremely scarce, and it could be said that he could not find a solution.

After Tesla knew about this, he quickly got a few photos for Faust, and after seeing these photos, a strange thought ignited in his heart, and he quickly replied to Tesla, saying how he felt after seeing these photos.

Although the villagers had warned him that there was a strange creature living in the jungle and told him not to enter it, Faust did not care or listen to the advice.

After entering the dense forest, Faust noticed that the surrounding trees had various scratches, although they were all similar, but there were still some discrepancies, which looked like the scratches of some insects.

He suddenly had a feeling that maybe what the villagers and Tesla were saying was true.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the depths of the dense forest, the sound seemed to be very melodious, but it was terrifying, Faust's heart was naturally very frightened, but he understood that this sound might have something to do with the Great Flood event, and because of the Great Flood event, many people had been missing.

Almost all of them have said that the missing people have become so abnormal for a period of time that they seem to be a different person.

In Faust's psyche, it was possible that the missing people were due to cultists, and he had often heard of similar cases when he was in London.

And now the sound coming from the dense forest should be the chanting of some cultists.

Thinking of this, Faust walked slowly in the direction of the sound source.

After walking almost a distance, Faust saw a man in a black robe kneeling on the ground, muttering to himself.

The voice was undoubtedly the man's voice, and the figure under the black robe was unusually slender and thin, but strangely his voice made people feel a hint of fear.

As soon as Faust wanted to walk up to the black-robed man, he seemed to have discovered himself and crawled away from Faust.

He wanted to catch up, but the guy's speed was so fast that Faust was pulled away by force.

It was just a cigarette that the guy was gone, and the forest made a strange buzzing sound like a bug.

Faust searched for clues in the place where the black-robed man was kneeling just now, and left no useful clues except for the footprints on the moss.

But the footprints made Faust ponder, for he had never seen such strange footprints, and they did not look like the footprints of a man.

The footprints looked extraordinarily slender, at least about 20 centimeters, and the toes were more like hard claws, and the whole outline looked disorganized.

If you tell anyone else what you saw, you will probably be considered crazy.

Although Faust was curious about this, even puzzled, he still did not forget his purpose, and continued to walk into the depths of the dense forest, he seemed to have some eyebrows, the case of the flood and the previous disappearance of the people may be because of a cult.

And the black-robed man I saw just now should be a cultist of a certain cult.

After walking for a while, the surrounding trees began to grow taller and taller, and the moss under their feet became thicker and thicker, and it seemed that no one had been in the depths of the dense forest for a long time.

And the trees around the deep forest are almost all kinds of scratches, these scratches are deep or shallow, and they look a little weird.

Although Faust was fully prepared in his heart, he was also taken aback, and the lack of sound around him made him feel even more terrifying.

After turning around for a long time, and not finding the so-called clues, Faust had no choice but to give up, return to his cabin, write down his findings in a notebook, and then write a letter to send to Tesla.

He believed that the strange man would return to the depths of the forest, and Faust was ready, and the recording device was ready to record the voice.

But at this moment, Faust didn't know what was going on, and suddenly felt that someone was watching him.

He hurriedly turned his head to find a strange face on the window.

"Who's there?"

Faust took out a gun from a drawer and walked over slowly: "You are trespassing on a private house......

The face looked at Faust with a smirk, then slowly retreated, disappearing into the endless darkness.

Faust breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his face disappear, he had never seen such a terrible face, it did not look like a human, but like some unknown creature.

He suddenly remembered that those villagers had told him that there were monsters living in the depths of the jungle, and he kept guessing in his heart, could it be that what the villagers had just seen was the monster that the villagers had mentioned to him?

Thinking of this, Faust remembered the photos and letters that Tesla had sent him, and he quickly flipped through the previous information and made a summary.

But in his heart he still questioned the credibility of this matter, thinking that there would be no monster at all, and that these were just illusions......
