Chapter 124

Chapter 124

In the first round of the game, one Fang Xiu was looking for a coffin with his name on it outside, and then the other one found himself inside a coffin.

The second time was pretty much the same.

Every time he went into the graveyard, there were two of him: one outside and one inside a coffin. Both had the same memories.

But this time, when he died, the memories of both Fang Xius merged. The first time, the Fang Xiu outside died and only remembered what happened outside after resetting. The second time, the Fang Xiu inside the coffin died, and after resetting, he remembered being in the coffin.

The third time, both Fang Xius died at the same time, and after resetting, he had both sets of memories.

Fang Xiu suddenly thought of the gravestone in the graveyard.

It said, "Forbidden for the Dead, Open to the Living."

There were two of him, and if either died, it would trigger a reset.

He guessed that maybe, when you enter the graveyard, you're in a state between life and death, split into two people. If one died, death would be upon both of them.

So, if any Fang Xiu died, it triggered a reset.

But if both lived, he'd stayed alive.

This meant he was wrong from the start.

The key wasn't to kill his double to leave the graveyard, but to leave together with his double.

No wonder he couldn't leave by killing before.

"Xiu, why aren't you moving? Is there something wrong with this graveyard?" Zhao Hao asked worriedly.

Fang Xiu turned back calmly and looked at everyone. "What I'm about to say is important, and I want everyone to listen carefully."

Everyone gathered with their doubles, their expressions a mix of curiosity and unease.

It was unsettling to face an exact replica of oneself. Normally, people might feel threatened by a duplicate, fearing replacement.

Under Fang Xiu's guidance, everyone managed to coexist peacefully for the time being.

"Everyone, follow me," both Fang Xiu said at the same time, creating a surreal scene. Without waiting for a response, they led the way to the graveyard's exit.

As both Fang Xiu stepped out of the graveyard, something incredible happened. They both glowed and slowly merged into one, becoming a single Fang Xiu.

Then he left the graveyard.

Before him lay a steep stairway leading straight to the mountaintop, where there was a large red-painted gate.

The paint was peeling in many places, making the gate resemble a monstrous creature with a gaping mouth, and the stone stairs appeared like its long tongue stretching down to the foot of the mountain.

Soon, Zhao Hao and the others emerged from the graveyard one by one. But Fang Xiu noticed that Cheng Xinyuan was missing. The others also realized this and exclaimed in surprise, "Where's Cheng Xinyuan? Why hasn't he come out?"

Looking back at the graveyard, they saw two Cheng Xinyuans fighting each other.

"Why are you attacking me suddenly? Don't you want to leave?" one of them asked.

"Leave? You're the one leaving, not me," the other retorted.

"What do you mean? Aren't we supposed to leave together?"

"I am you, and you are me. I know what you're thinking, so don't pretend. You're the Cheng Xinyuan from outside, and I'm from the coffin. According to Fang Xiu, you're in the state of the living, and I'm in the state of the dead. Once we leave, only the living state remains, and I'll disappear forever. I was born from the graveyard, and leaving it means death for me."

The living Cheng Xinyuan panicked, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are one and the same. Don't you realize that by doing this, neither of us will be able to leave?"

The dead Cheng Xinyuan sneered, "If we can't leave, so be it. At least I'll still be alive. Once we leave, I'll be completely dead. Why should you live while I die?"Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
