153 The Two Of Them Joining Them (3)
“If, and I say if, everything in your story really happens in the future, I wonder what role I will play in your story?”
Although Arthur Wang’s rationality told him that Lin Shuang was telling a story he had imagined and it was impossible, his intuition told him that the other party was not talking nonsense. Everything he said was right.
Between reason and intuition, Arthur Wang thought for a moment and decided to believe his intuition that had saved him from fire and water several times.
However, Arthur Wang was still careful not to directly ask Lin Shuang about his future. Instead, he asked him what if.
When Lin Shuang heard Arthur Wang’s question and looked at his hesitant face, he immediately knew that Arthur Wang’s heart had wavered and he began to believe the little story he was telling.
“In the future of my story, you are playing this important supporting role. After the power of the game descended into reality, more than 130 of your brothers helped the Dragon Kingdom in the name of the Silver Hands to eliminate many evil people who acted wantonly after possessing the power of the game.
“When the subsequent monsters descended, you even led the members of the Silver Hands to eliminate many high-level monsters. It’s just that although you’re powerful, the internal affairs of the human race are very unstable. The traitors who are everywhere exposed your every move to the God Clan.
“After discussion, the God Clan commanded tens of thousands of high-level monsters and sent a thousand elite soldiers to surround and destroy you. As the news that you were surrounded by the God Clan was suppressed by the traitors, no one knew that your Silver Hand Knights had fallen into the God Clan’s trap.
“After several days of bloody battle, although you have killed tens of thousands of high-level monsters and thousands of God Clan’s elite soldiers, all of you have already reached the point of exhaustion. In the end, there are only two people left in the entire Silver Hands Knight Legion, including you.
“After recuperating for a few days, you somehow learned about the God Clan’s garrison. Then, you led the remaining members of the Silver Hand Knights and attacked the God Clan’s camp.
“After you sacrificed yourself, although people don’t know the exact situation of the battle, they know that you caused considerable damage to the God Clan. In the end, when you self-destructed, you even took away a suspected member of the God Clan’s royal family.
“I wonder if Guild Master Arthur Wang is satisfied with the ending of this story?”
After hearing his future ending, Wang Arthur stood rooted to the ground with bloodshot eyes, thinking about something.
“Then I wonder, Guild Master, what’s my future in your story?” Zhang Zizai saw that after Arthur Wang asked, he fell silent and didn’t continue asking. He followed the conversation between the two of them and asked him how his future would end.
Lin Shuang didn’t keep Zhang Zizai in suspense. Instead, he told him everything he wanted to know. “On the day the God Clan descended, several elite soldiers of the God Clan happened to land near Mount Longhu. However, other than you, there are only three or four people your age who have played Glory games.
“After the God Clan descended, other than you who had some resistance, the other players were only playing around for two days, so they were not strong. Soon, all the Daoists on Mount Longhu were cruelly killed by the God Clan.
“You, who escaped the pursuit of the God Clan under the cover of your master and a group of fellow disciples, saw your beloved master and your fellow disciples die tragically in front of you. You then swore that you would make the God Clan pay the price. You would avenge your senior brothers and your master even if you had to die.
“After several days of preparation, after fully armed yourself with talismans, you tied yourself with a large amount of TNT that you had borrowed from the highest leader of the Dragon Kingdom.
“You went to the God Clan’s camp with Arthur Wang and perished together with the God Clan’s camp and a dimensional portal.”
After hearing Lin Shuang’s story, Zhang Zizai’s original calmness gradually turned into monstrous anger. After hearing Lin Shuang say his final outcome, the anger in his heart dissipated a little. He suppressed the anger in his heart and silently chanted the Meditation Incantation.
He wanted to use this to make his rationality, which had almost been swallowed by anger, return.
Looking at the two silent people, Lin Shuang was not anxious at all. He just sat quietly on the chair and looked at the two of them calmly with Fatty and the others. What they needed to tell the two of them now had been told. The decisions from now on were up to the two of them. They had already done what they could.
In this deathly silent atmosphere, Arthur Wang was silent for a few minutes before asking Lin Shuang with a hint of hope in his eyes. “Sir, what you just said is just a story, right? It won’t really become reality, and the human race won’t be exterminated, right?”
Looking at the expectant Arthur Wang, Lin Shuang chuckled and said to him, “You already have the answer in your heart, don’t you? Whether I’m talking about the future or the story doesn’t matter. What matters is what your choice is.
“You’re either going to deceive yourself and leave this place. From now on, you won’t see me again and continue living in a daze. Or are you going to stay and prepare for everything that will happen in the future with us?”
Lin Shuang’s answer shattered the last hope in Arthur Wang’s heart and completely pierced through the window between the two of them. Let Arthur Wang choose whether to pretend not to know and go back to live the remaining few years in a daze. Or should he choose to recognize reality and stay behind with Lin Shuang and the others to work hard for the future invasion of the God Clan?
Just as Arthur Wang fell silent in the face of Lin Shuang’s two choices, Zhang Zizai was the first to agree to Lin Shuang’s invitation. “Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate Fusheng, it seems that I still don’t have enough mental cultivation. Something that hasn’t happened has actually disturbed me like this. How ridiculous. Guild Master, I’m willing to stay and do my best to help with the upcoming disaster. I hope you won’t despise me.”
After Zhang Zizai expressed his stance, Lin Shuang and the others turned to Arthur Wang, waiting for his answer. Under everyone’s gaze, Wang Arthur’s expression changed several times, and his eyes gradually became firm.
“Guild master, I’ve also chosen to stay and prepare for the upcoming disaster with you. I, Arthur Wang, have lived my life as a hero and died as a ghost hero. I, Arthur Wang, have lived my life according to the rules of a knight. Since I’ve encountered such a thing, I can’t stand by and do nothing. Even if I have to sacrifice myself under the butcher’s knife of the God Clan, I have no regrets!”
