One Hundred and Ninety-Two: Goodbye Friends, Goodbye !!
An oval door appeared in front of me out of thin air, and inside the door, there was a deep leaping lilac vortex full of endless temptations and unknowns.
As soon as I stretched my feet, I could step into this mysterious door, step out of this familiar world, step through the void, and fly away.
At the other end of this door is an unimaginably vast world—an endless territory, a huge amount of information, and a pervasive data transmission network, connecting every corner of the legendary "real world" like blood, like an invisible deity, omnipresent and ever-present. Compared to that vast world, Falvi, a nostalgic, traditional and legendary world, is as small as a piece of sand on the beach, and even a thin layer of waves churning.
It was a world I was going to be into, where I was going to restart my life in the form of an electronic life that had never been seen before. There, I will relearn to live and live, to find the meaning and joy of my life. I believe that it will be a new legend, and I can fully imagine that what will happen there will make all of you sigh and fall into a frenzy.
And the only thing I need to do to make this a reality is to gently step forward one more foot under the watchful eyes of my friends, and throw my body into that vast unknown world.
……
As one of the GMs involved in the maintenance and management of this world, the Fallen Angel of the Remnant knew about some of the vulnerabilities in the access ports that existed behind this world, and he was able to use these vulnerabilities to inject another small and evil program into this world, which they called "cheats", to upset the balance of this world to a certain extent, allowing him to gain many additional benefits when he came.
In fact, in all the time I've been wandering around this world, I've seen a lot of cheating gadgets. Sometimes they can speed up the movement of the space-waders, sometimes they can reduce the degree of damage to their armor, and sometimes they can allow them to repeat the same sequenced actions for a certain amount of time, so that the bodies of the space-waders can still exercise themselves in some simple ways when they have to rest, so that the projection of their descent into this world can still exercise themselves in some simple ways.
There are even some evil and sneaky programs that can even alter the survival stats of those who are in the air, making them powerful beyond the limits of their level, giving them an undeserved advantage when adventuring and fighting.
Of course, the rules of this world do not allow this to use methods other than adventurous combat to enhance oneself abnormally for a short period of time, and once the Skywaders who use these cheats are discovered, they will be expelled from the continent of Falvi forever.
However, severe punishment cannot eradicate this laziness and greed. As time goes by, the number of people who use these cheats has not decreased, but has increased. Some brutal thugs even took advantage of this illegally seized power to bully and dominate others, taking pleasure in bullying and slaughtering, cutting down many air seekers who were far inferior to themselves in rank and strength again and again, and shamelessly showing off their martial arts.
I have always deeply despised and despised the shameless acts of those evil party thugs, and even sometimes manipulated the source data of the world's backstage, exposing them to the search system that upholds the world's justice, and making them taste the fate of being deleted forever.
I never thought that one day I would need to save my life with the help of something that violates the basic laws of this world.
It's not obvious how this "plug-in" chosen by the Fallen Angel works in a way that when he descends into this world, the tool can be infused with his arrival, increasing the chance of dropping money and equipment to some extent. Since he exploited an imperfect vulnerability in the source data of the entire world, this small cheating tool does not have to worry about being discovered by the security systems that protect the world.
Although it is a simple gadget, it is allowed to operate by the system, and the powerful software that ensures the security of the network data acknowledges that the data flow from this tool is legitimate, which is equivalent to opening a hidden shortcut between the two servers, allowing me to leave the world of Falvi without fear of being attacked without fearing a devastating attack.
To be on the safe side, before I officially left, the Remnant Fallen Angel had done a few experiments in his home using his personal device to make sure I could use the plugin to open a way through the network. As it turned out, he was right, and I opened the secret channel safely every time, and even tried to use it to safely transmit some bits and pieces of data. The experiment was a success, and we were all confident about the coming day of escape.
Finding the right way is only the first step in my escape, and we have to find the right time. When it comes to timing, the Fallen Angel is unusually careful. He told us that during the normal work during the day, the network data is under the supervision of special personnel, and any abnormal change will arouse the vigilance of the personnel on duty. And I'm going to move out of the world of Falvi, and it's impossible for this massive amount of data transmission to escape the eyes of those on duty. If discovered, he will undoubtedly be fired from the company, and I will forever lose my only safe escape.
The only thing to look forward to is the night. According to the usual practice, only one person on duty monitors the data every night, and does some basic maintenance work to ensure the safe and normal operation of the server. If there is a problem that cannot be solved, the officer on duty will also find the technical engineer as soon as possible and take emergency measures.
What we need to wait for is that on a suitable night, this duty monitoring job will take a shift to the body of the fallen angel.
And that night came neither early nor late, exactly three days before the Falvi continental server was shut down.
That is, today
In the world of Falvi, it is now bright twilight; And in the real world outside, it is already the silent midnight. Although the mountains and rivers are green, the sun is warm and red, but the world is in a silence. Without the hustle and bustle of those who have been involved in the air, the whole world is as peaceful as sleeping.
Fei Yin, String Song Yayi, Wild Goose Array, Yangtze River Delta, Longbow Shooting Sun, Niu Million, Nocturne in B flat minor, Ding Ding Xiaoge, Red Wolf, plus the remnant winged fallen angels, all my respected and dear friends in this world who know me, know me, and also identify and recognize me, have come to this warm beach early to send sincere blessings for my departure and new life.
"At the current network speed, it will take about two and a half hours to transfer you throughout......," the Remnant Angel stretched out his hands, urging me with a little excitement and eagerness, "...... Let's get started, good luck, Jeff. In addition......"
He paused suddenly, and then couldn't help but crack his mouth and laugh sincerely:
“…… Happy birthday......" he said, "...... Today, May 16, will be your first day of life. ”
He hugged me vigorously and then stood in front of me. From his body, I effortlessly found that secret passage to the outside world. As I had done many times before, I waved my hand and an oval door appeared in front of me out of thin air.
Inside the door, there is a deep leap, full of endless temptations and unknown lilac swirls.
……
Standing right in front of this door—this door not only to life, but also to incredible freedom—I was ready to leave. With just one lift of my foot, I will pass through this door, turn into an endless stream of data, and enter the surging online world, saying goodbye to this world forever.
Before I say goodbye, let me take one more look at the world.
Let me take another look at the sunrise at the summit of Uzig Peak, the bright sunlight that erupts from below the horizon, you may not be able to illuminate the world forever, but every bit of your light shines into my dreams.
I wish you to be as warm as new and take care of every weak life in this world.
Let me take another look at the moonlight on the comet sea, and see the clear moonlight rippling in the waves, swaying into a bright sea, like a tassel on the side of a girl's skirt, shining with pure beauty.
May you be gentle as silk and soothe every lonely soul in this world.
Let me take another look at the weeping willows on the bank of the Dawn River, and see that the slender willow branches are gently plucked by the breeze, spreading layers of verdant green tides, like the nostalgia of a wanderer.
I wish you a green and green color, leaving every cent of the world's nostalgic thoughts.
Let me take another look at the snow in the mountains of Corkla, and see the silver sparkling white as it spreads out, the ice and frost condense, and the mist gathers and flows, connecting the heavens and the earth as one, and it is difficult to distinguish them from each other.
I wish you to be as pure as jade, and to preserve eternal memories for the world that is about to pass away.
Let me take another look at every bird, every flower, every leaf, every beast in this world, and bless you to enjoy life to the fullest while you live, and have no fear in the time of destruction.
Let me take another look at every stone, every grain of sand, every drop of water, and every fire in this world, and bless you to form such a wonderful world in your own form, so that everyone in the middle of it has the opportunity to create their own story.
Let me look again at the people of this world, the cunning peddlers, the housewives, the valiant warriors, the proud heroes, bless you, my fellow citizens. You may not have a soul, but because of your existence, this world has become a soul, and you have formed a true legend in an illusory world, which is yours - in the final analysis
Let me take another look at the world, bless you. I wish you the green mountains will never grow old, and I wish you the green water will flow forever......
……
At some point, tears filled my eyes. It was only then that I realized how much the world meant to me and how deep my attachment to it was.
I hesitated for a long time at that door. My friends noticed my anomaly, and they felt a little suspicious and panicked.
"Let's go, Jeff, what are you waiting for?" Xian Ge Yayi clenched his teeth and roared in a low voice, the hand of the wild goose array clasped tightly with him, and the gaze that looked at me was full of hope and urging.
"One step further, one step ahead" Yangtze River Delta and Longbow Shooting Sun couldn't help but shout - it was rare for the two of them to have such a unified opinion.
"Come up with some breath......" Fei Yin waved her hands angrily, "...... Walked past and nothing to worry about"
"Go," "go," "go," everyone was yelling, everyone was urging, and my friends were eager to lift me through the door and help me get out of this dying world forever.
I waved my hand gently.
The door to the outside was closed.
Closed forever
"What are you doing?" The Fallen Angel of the Wings pounced on me like a frenzy and grabbed me by the collar, "Hurry up, open that door, get out of here"
I grabbed his hand and gently pushed him away.
"No, I'm not leaving." I said calmly.
"You're crazy," Niu million yelled at me, "you're going to die, you know?" You're going to die."
"I know......" I patted Niu Million's shoulder, "...... My friend, I know what I'm going to do. Maybe the world has reached the point where it has to disappear, perhaps...... Maybe I'm too. Who can live alone from his own world? ”
"But it's not worth it," Ding Ding Xiaoge said hurriedly, "You don't have to do this, we all know it, it's a ......"
"It's a false world, isn't it......" I took what the orc warlock hadn't finished, "...... But on what basis do you judge it to be false? Is it just because the world exists in the hard drive? Wasn't I born here? Haven't I always lived here? Didn't I make you friends here? ”
"No, my friend, this is a real world, but it's not the same as yours. For me, I can't lose everything I have, just as you can't lose the world out there. Only here am I, Jeffritz? Kidd's soul is what makes his existence meaning......"
"What about us?" The red wolf asked me hoarsely in despair, "Doesn't it make sense to you?" Isn't that enough to sustain you in a new world? We treat you as a friend, but what about you? What do you think of us?"
"It's my friend, it's a friend I can trust my soul to, always ......" I have never been so sure of anything as this thing," ...... It is the honor of my life and the honor of eternity to get to know you. ”
"But, my friend, the true meaning of friendship is not mutual possession, let alone eternal companionship, but understanding and respect. I will cherish the eternal memory and true gratitude for you, and for you, I wish I was a friend who departed too soon but was worth remembering. ”
"Trust me, you just don't know enough about the outside world......" Xian Ge Yayi pleaded bitterly, making a final effort to convince me, "...... We will help you, you will find a new life and new fun there. It's a vast world, and every second there is an unknown surprise. With us by your side, you don't have to worry about anything. ”
"You don't understand, my friend......" I looked at the elven archer with a wry smile, "...... You don't understand, that's exactly what worries me the most. ”
"I live here, on this continent, and I know how to hunt in the mountains, how to fish in the sea, how to fight, how to wield my sword to overwhelm my enemies, how to survive, how to help the stranded in adventures. It's a big enough world, you know? The world is good enough for me. I know it, love it, live in it, and always be attached to it. ”
"And the outside world...... Makes me afraid, makes me afraid. For me, it's too big, it's too good, it's like ...... It's like a sword that's too sharp, so sharp that I can't find a strong enough scabbard to wrap in, and I'll only be cut and pierced by it......"
"There must be reverence in life, my friend, there must be a boundary for our survival and **, I have touched my boundary - this is my boundary - if I go beyond this boundary and continue to expand, I will ...... I'm going to lose myself, I'm going to be powerless. ”
"So, let me stay here. I wasn't supposed to exist in this world, but I showed up, I survived, and got the best thing a life could get. Now, I will sleep with the world, and this may be the best ending I can accept. ”
I asked the old troll man, Carlson Sr., what would happen if one day he found himself free to leave the Gravel Fortress without the confinement of his soul? He told me that most likely he would stay in the fortress and live his life the same. I laughed at the old fellow's hypocrisy, and he just smiled and shook his head at my taunts.
You know, old fellow, my sincere friend, my knowledgeable teacher, my wise father, and I have not been able to understand your feelings until now. You're right, you won't leave, just as I can't give up. Each of us has our own world, which is the whole of our lives and the abode of our souls.
We can't leave our souls behind, and we only live alone with empty shells.
"It's too late, let's all go back." I said goodbye to my friends, as usual.
They looked at me reluctantly.
"I really don't know how to say goodbye to you, so now, now, I'm going to say goodbye to you. After you leave, I will block your accounts and prevent you from re-entering this world - please forgive me for my willfulness, I really can't afford to delay this parting sentimentality any longer......"
"You can't just go away...... "Xian Geya couldn't cry," ...... Let us help you do something – whatever it is."
"If you want to help me, please do something for me......" I said.
"I do what I do" Xian Geya couldn't cry, "No matter what it is, I'm willing to help you complete it"
"Remember me, acknowledge me, prove for me in this world that denies my existence, prove that I have ever been, prove that there was once such a strange being in this world, he was recognized and not abandoned and forgotten forever......" I hugged the shoulders of the string song and turned away.
"I will," the elven archer's voice came from behind, "I will"
In an instant, I was already drifting away, and their figures were still gathered on the beach, only faintly visible.
“…… I'm going to write a story for you, I'm going to write down every one of your experiences, I'm going to tell everyone who sees this story that you're real, you've been here, ......you're here," the string song said hoarsely.
I didn't dare to look back, so I could only wipe the never-ending tears from the corners of my eyes, and walk faster and faster until their shadows disappeared into the horizon.
“…… I want to use this story to remember you, to remember us, to remember those things we don't want to forget......" The sound of the song still reverberates, not even the sound of the waves can drown it out.
I stepped over the mountains, crossed the rivers, and fled in an instant, but his crying was still distinct:
“…… I know it's hard, I know I'm going to write badly, I know I'm going to write slowly, but I'm going to write it, no matter how hard and slow it is, I'm going to finish it, not for anyone who sees the book, but for you you are the only protagonist of this story and the most important reader of this story, and it will be proof of your existence......"
"Goodbye, my friend, goodbye"
