Night World Players

Chapter 63 You Are Not Her After All
Looking at the pitch-black muzzle of the gun pointing straight at him.

There was no fear or panic in Amy's sky-blue eyes.

Yes, there is only worry and a little confusion.

She tilted her head, gently stretched out her white hand, and tested the temperature of Rast's forehead with the back of her hand.

"What's wrong with you, Rust? Do you have a fever? Or is your mental trauma not fully healed?"

Amys opened her arms, as if wanting to hug Luster into her arms: "It's okay, both Deep Blue Harbor and the Frozen Water Town that Miss Hiltina mentioned are already in our past."

"You are in Canaan now. There is no Iron Cross, fog or pollution here..."

"It doesn't matter even if the Iron Cross Plague really breaks out in the world."

"Because, I am here."

"This time, I will protect Rast."

Hearing the pleasant and crisp voice that is so familiar to me.

Luster slowly raised the muzzle of his gun.

This revolver, which had been with him for more than two hundred years and which he had used as easily as with his arm, now seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and even moving it the slightest bit became extremely difficult.

"This is exactly what the real Xiao Ai would say in my memory."

"But you are not her after all."

The next moment, he pulled the trigger of the revolver.

boom!
Flames burst out from the muzzle of Iron Moon's gun.

The bullet spun in the firelight and pierced through the blonde girl's chest.

A bloody hole suddenly exploded in her chest.

But unexpectedly, there was no blood splattering.

Instead, there was dispersing white mist.

Wisps of smoke lingered around Amis's slender body, making the blonde girl's figure flicker like a phantom.

Amys stared blankly at the hole in her chest and her body that was flickering.

After a long time, she raised her head again and looked at the young man in front of her.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know I was fake, and even Canaan was fake."

Her voice trembled and tears dripped down her pretty white face.

In the broken light and shadow, Amys stared at Last for a long time.

Those sky blue eyes were full of attachment and reluctance.

"I'm sorry for being a burden to you and even almost causing you, Rust, to be mentally polluted... But I really want to stay by your side forever."

"Go to Starry University with you, see the golden plains with you, and go on adventures in the night world with you."

"Grow up with you, mature, and grow old together, until one day we are both too old to walk anymore... Then we will go back to Canaan, lie side by side on the recliners, look at the rolling snow-capped mountains of Canaan, and feel the time flying by."

“Ordinary, yet timeless.”

"But fortunately..."

She seemed to have thought of something, her voice stopped trembling, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although I am fake, the Xiao Ai and Canaan in your memory are real."

"As long as she is here, you won't be so lonely, Rust... even if the person who stays with you is not me."

"do not talk."

Luster closed his eyes again.

bang bang bang-

The remaining five bullets in the magazine were emptied in single-action rapid-fire mode. The dazzling fire was clearly visible even with eyes closed. When Luster opened his eyes again, the blonde girl in front of him had disappeared.

Instead, the world began to crack and fall apart.

The dining car, the cabin, the town of Canaan, the lake outside the window, the windmills and the snow-capped mountains...it was as if the painting paper had been torn by an external force, and was covered with inharmonious cracks.

Luster's breathing became heavier.

He was breathing heavily.

Then, with a staggering movement, he raised the black muzzle of Iron Moon's gun again and pointed it at his own temple.

boom--

Snow-capped mountains, lakes, forests, border towns... the whole world collapsed in the sudden bright firelight and then returned to pure nothingness.

……

When Rast opened his eyes again.

What came into view was the scene of darkness returning.

This is a gloomy and depressing world - Frozen Water Town, the guest room of the mayor's mansion.

He suddenly got up from the bed and looked out the window, only to see that in the dim sky, where the moon should have been, was replaced by a distorted red sphere.

The red sphere was actually made up of hideous flesh and blood, which was constantly surging and wriggling.

Under the cover of night, Dongshui Town was completely shrouded in thick fog.

The fog had originally only lingered outside Dongshui Town, but at this moment it had completely invaded the town's borders, enveloping the entire town.

The originally pale mist was also stained with scarlet under the illumination of the blood moon in the night sky.

Last rushed out of the room, opened the doors one by one, and confirmed the situation inside.

Sure enough, the blood-colored mist had silently invaded the house. The mist condensed and gathered... and finally gathered into strands of silk.

All around him were these silk threads that were a mixture of snow-white and scarlet red. Last seemed to be in a huge spider's nest, and even his body was covered with these messy spider silks.

He fired continuously, breaking the threads blocking the way, and then he could see the whole scene clearly.

It was made of silk threads, one huge cocoon after another.

These pure white silk threads stained with blood wrapped all the living things in Dongshui Town, whether they were human townspeople or pets such as cats, dogs, cows and sheep, into cocoons.

Then, based on the victim’s memory, it weaves one fantasy after another, letting the people wrapped in the cocoon sink into the fantasy… until their minds and souls are quietly eroded and polluted, and eventually they are completely lost in the fantasy, while their bodies in reality are controlled by the blood mist.

He has become a puppet controlled by strings, having lost his self and soul, and even his existence has been erased.

Even Rast himself was just in a cocoon woven of silk threads, but he successfully broke free from the woven dream and also got rid of the manipulation of the silk threads.

"Looking at the fluctuations of the Spirit World Mark, Xiltina should also be trapped inside."

Rast quickly found Hiltina's room.

In Hiltina's room, the thickness of the silk thread was several times greater than that in other rooms, almost covering the sky and the sun, turning the entire room into a Pansi Cave.

Last took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to shoot directly and break the huge cocoon in front of him.

He knew that Hiltina at this moment was just like himself before, trapped in a dream woven by blood mist. Even if he broke out of the cocoon, all he would see was Hiltina's sleeping body, which would likely cause further damage to her spirit.

So he opened the cylinder and ejected the bullets from the revolver.

Then, he aimed at his own temple again.

boom--

When the trigger was pulled, the mental suggestion of "kill yourself" was given.

At the same time, through the remaining channel that was previously connected to spirituality.

Last's spirituality and consciousness, with the imprint left in the other's soul as the trigger, entered into Hiltina's spiritual world together.
