My chuunibyou self: All my fantasies have come true

The city streets were filled with crowds of people.

Five hours have passed since the instance appeared.

However, there is still no news from within the instance.

The police are maintaining order, and many people have already given up hope.

Every second was agonizing for them.

Lu Xue gripped her phone tightly.

This staunch materialist, who had never believed in ghosts or gods since childhood, was now devoutly praying to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

Vendors pushed their food carts over here, their shouts filling the air.

Players with relatives in the instance were unhappy that the vendor was doing business nearby, so they grabbed the vendor by the collar and confronted him...

Qilin glanced at the pocket watch.

The longer the dungeon runs, the lower the chance of survival.

Many people understand this in their hearts, but they are unwilling to admit it.

Hold fast to that last hope.

"..."

[Element Abnormal]

There are signs that the copy has been reopened.

[Beep beep beep!]

The alarm sounds.

"spread!"

"spread!!"

The police began to evacuate the crowd, while the Awakened Squad, which had been prepared in advance, followed suit, ready to enter the instance at any time when it opened.

Seeing this scene, many people felt a chill run down their spines.

No...no...

"boom--!!"

A massive portal opened.

A figure stepped out first, followed by many more people.

A chorus of gasps erupted from the surrounding area.

"Out!"

"Someone's out."

"Someone made it out alive."

"........."

The night wind whistled.

Lu Xue didn't notice that the back of her school uniform was already soaked with sweat.

The damp fabric clung tightly to her back, outlining its contours.

The originally pure white now became somewhat transparent, revealing glimpses of her skin color.

The distant lights made it hard for Lu Xue to open her eyes, so she shielded them with her hand.

My heart seemed to stop abruptly, and my throat moved.

".....elder brother?"

"elder brother!!"

Lu Xue rushed forward from the crowd.

Lu Jing was the first to exit the instance, looking around in a daze.

Then a figure rushed towards him and crashed into his arms.

"elder brother..."

elder brother?

This term sounds unfamiliar to me.

However, there is only one person in this world who can call me brother.

He looked at Lu Xue in his arms and reached out to pat her back.

"It's okay, it's okay, I came out unharmed."

Lu Xue trembled slightly and buried her head on Lu Jing's shoulder.

Shouts rang out from all around.

"My son...where is my son?"

Has anyone seen my daughter?!

"what?"

"Son! Son!"

"........"

The sounds came and went.

More than a hundred people were forcibly pulled into the instance.

Now only a little over twenty people have survived.

Yue Tianqi and Qin Wenke, who hold the highest ranks, are not among them.

Like many other unlucky characters, they died in the dungeon.

The remaining twenty-odd people were also in a sorry state, looking like they were fleeing a disaster.

"Song Zeqi, Tian Xiran..."

The teachers from the high school breathed a sigh of relief when they saw most of the familiar faces.

The fathers of Tian Xiran and Song Zeqi were at the guard post with grim faces.

These two are no ordinary people.

Upon hearing that his son and daughter had been hit by a sudden, unexpected event.

Tian Xiran and Song Zeqi's family members flocked over.

Their families wield considerable influence; even the mayor of Jiangnan called about it.

Seeing that Tian Xiran and Song Zeqi were safe and sound, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

".....elder brother.."

Lu Xue couldn't help but sob softly.

Lu Jing raised his head, and his gaze met that of the Qilin in the crowd.

The Qilin looked somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence that Lu Jing was among them.

And incredibly, he survived.

It is important to know that after the serum is neutralized...

Lu Jing is now just an ordinary person, without any abilities whatsoever.

In this situation, it's incredible that he survived!

Lucky?

Lu Jing smiled slightly at the Qilin and nodded.

Ok?

Qilin was somewhat surprised, not understanding why Lu Jing suddenly smiled at him.

Logically speaking, Lu Jing should have already lost his memory of himself by this time.

It's probably just a coincidence.

That's what Qilin thought.

But Lu Jing gave him a wink and mouthed:

See you at the usual place tomorrow!

Um! ?

Shock flashed in the Qilin's eyes.

He still remembers me!!!
