What's the crash? I'm playing the game normally.

Chapter 926 Ning Yue's Identity

Bai Wan: "..."

Bai Wan fell silent after hearing this. Well, it seems that he really doesn't exist in this world. Otherwise, Ning Yue would have immediately said her name.

At this moment, Bai Wan looked bewildered. He didn't know why there were monsters in this era but not him, and the same was true in the Dream Ruins.

Ning Yue looked at Bai Wan again, and thinking about what happened in the bathroom last night, she suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I think I know who you're talking about. Isn't that you?"

Bai Wan: "..."

Ning Yue looked at Bai Wan with great curiosity, and then said, "Actually, I don't know why, but I always feel inexplicably familiar with you, and you give me a different feeling than other people. To be honest, this feeling is really strange..."

Bai Wan nodded, looking at Ning Yue who looked just like the monster, and said, "You look a lot like one of my friends."

"Friends?" Ning Yue looked at the flowing water by the river and said with great fatigue, "I don't have any friends at all. As the eldest daughter of the Ning family, I have always had to work hard to become stronger, protect the world, and drive away the strange things. So I have very little time to play and even fewer opportunities to meet people my own age."

"You've worked hard." Bai Wan said earnestly. The monsters in his world were also working hard. Although Ning Yue and Su Yuening came from different backgrounds, their goals were the same.

Ning Yue smiled and said, "It's not hard at all. I've always hoped that the strange things in this world could disappear, so it might be hard for others, but for me it feels like fulfilling a dream... I never felt it was hard before, but now..."

"Ugh."

Ning Yue sighed and said, "I have killed a lot of monsters, but they are endless. New monsters always appear, and they are becoming more and more active. The night has also changed drastically. I have a bad feeling... It seems that everything I do is meaningless. I can't explain that feeling of powerlessness."

Looking at Ning Yue's worried and tired appearance, Bai Wan felt the same powerlessness she felt when she had fought with all her might to defeat what she thought was a BOSS, only to find that it was just a small fry.

Bai Wan fell silent in the face of Ning Yue's words. He wanted to comfort her, but found there was nothing he could do. He knew that in the end, the fate of the Yu Kingdom and Ning Yue's era would be erased, and this was not something that could be changed by human effort.

Ning Yue has tried her best, but in the end everyone will be wiped out.

Ning Yue seemed to be very sensitive to this as well. Even though she didn't know what the future held, she had already sensed this sense of powerlessness. It has to be said that both Su Yuening and Ning Yue were very talented, and their intuition was very accurate.

"Do you think our country will get better?" Ning Yue asked Bai Wan weakly, kicking a pebble lightly with her head down.

Bai Wan thought for a moment, but still couldn't bear to reveal the future, or rather, the truth of the future would probably be blocked by the system. He simply nodded and said, "It will be alright."

Hearing Bai Wan's affirmation, Ning Yue's worry disappeared somewhat, and a smile returned to her lips as she said, "Thank you. It's really amazing. Even though we've only known each other for a short time, I feel so relaxed around you. I've never experienced anything like this before."

“I think I understand what you mean by that feeling. That’s what friendship is. I’m actually the same as you. I didn’t have many friends growing up either. But I’m luckier than you. I met a friend of mine. Actually, you and that friend look exactly alike. I even suspect she’s your reincarnation.”

Bai Wan shared her guess.

The Kingdom of Yu belongs to a past era, and Su Yuening of that era has died. However, due to Su Yuening's special circumstances, she may have the ability to reincarnate and live again in the era in which Bai Wan lived.

This is a very reasonable speculation. It is an era of a universe that does not exist and has been completely erased.

It's been so long since then that Bai Wan can't even tell if what's in front of her is just a projection of her past experiences, or if she's truly in the past.

However, there is basically no way to change history under these circumstances.

Bai Wan also noticed that the main storyline of this game is to protect Ning Yue for 7 days. So why only protect her for 7 days? Is it because after 7 days, Miss Ning Yue will be out of danger? That doesn't seem realistic.

Could it be because Ning Yue is destined to die no matter what, so protecting her for 7 days would be considered a success?

In other words, Ning Yue's fate and that of the country were already sealed. There was nothing Bai Wan could do. All he could do was watch as a spectator witness the final outcome for Ning Yue and the Yu Kingdom.

"Reincarnation?" Ning Yue looked at Bai Wan with some curiosity. She seemed to have grasped something, and then said with emotion, "If reincarnation really exists, then I will definitely become your friend."

Bai Wan nodded and said:
"Yes, I believe that if there is reincarnation, you will definitely become my good friend."

Actually, I've always been like you since I was little, without many friends. My classmates were all afraid of me and gave me strange nicknames, isolating me. You're different from them; we'll definitely become good friends in the future.

Ning Yue smiled after hearing this, seemingly anticipating that future. Suddenly, a girl who had been making a phone call on the beach walked towards Bai Wan and Ning Yue. The girl smiled at them and then made a request:
"Excuse me, my phone seems to be broken. I'm trying to call my boyfriend but I can't get through. Could you lend me your phone?"

Bai Wan nodded and lent her the phone. The girl thanked him and continued dialing, but after a while, the call still didn't go through.

"Thank you, but I'm sorry. It might be a problem with my boyfriend's phone. I've been trying to call him for days, but I can't get through. It keeps showing a signal failure."

The girl was somewhat troubled.

Before Bai Wan could say anything more, Ning Yue suddenly covered Bai Wan's mouth and said, "You might as well try a public phone booth."

The girl's eyes lit up, and she nodded, saying, "That's right, it really works. I can never get through on the phone. Thank you."

The girl then walked to the side.

Bai Wan's expression was strange. He felt the hand covering his mouth loosen and looked at Ning Yue with some confusion. He then saw Ning Yue looking at the girl's back and whispering, "Be careful. Don't talk to her too much. She's not normal. Do you know what a living dead is?"

"Living dead? What are those?" Bai Wan looked puzzled. He seemed to have overheard the maids who cleaned the Ning family talking about how the living dead had recently become rampant, but he didn't know exactly what they were.

Ning Yue explained in a low voice, "This thing only appeared in our Yu Kingdom recently. I don't know if it can be considered strange, but we call it a living dead."

They were all dead people, but they came back to life because of some strange phenomenon, and looked like they did in life. Strangely, these people seemed to have appeared out of thin air in this world..."

“We have investigated and found that these people did not originally exist in this world. They must have come from another world, and they have all died.”
