I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Lu Ban asked curiously.

"Stop arguing!"

Hongye's face was flushed. Being held by Lu Ban like this made her very uncomfortable. Even though her body was hot, she immediately escaped from Lu Ban's embrace.

Sia estimated the distance and, without relying on Lu Ban, landed directly on the ground like a bird, making people wonder if Sia had learned some kind of light-footed skill like walking on water.

"I practice martial arts, so this kind of body balance is normal for me."

Sia explained briefly, and through the window, she saw that the first floor had been occupied by monsters, and several rooms on the second floor were also being peered out by monsters. She looked anxiously at the windowsill, waiting for Trist to jump down.

But she was met with a sound.

bang——

The monster smashed open the door to the room. Drizzt, who had been blocking the door to prevent the monster from entering, was holding a baton. He quickly moved towards the windowsill, intending to jump out of the window.

But the monster was clearly faster than Trist.

Furthermore, some monsters climbed out of the window of the next room and blocked the way on the outer wall.

Drizzt went to the window, swung his baton and struck the monster in front of him, causing it to step back slightly. At the same time, he raised his leg and stepped onto the windowsill.

Two monsters blocked his way, grabbing Drizzt's shoulders and arms, trying to pull him back.

Behind him, a monster grabbed Trist's clothes.

He disregarded everything and, like a cannonball, burst through the window and escaped.

Lu Ban saw that several monsters grabbed Trist, forcibly stopping Trist, who was falling downwards, in mid-air, and then pulling him towards the room.

"Old Cui!"

Lu Ban called out, then looked down, trying to find Stone to help Trist.

"Walk."

Trist called out. He knew very well that the longer these people stayed here, the more likely something would go wrong. The most sensible solution now was to abandon them and leave.

"Anyway, it's already like this, so it's not too bad."

He muttered to himself.

The next second, Twisted Fate was pulled back into the room by a tremendous force.

Xia trembled slightly. She hesitated for only a moment before gritting her teeth and pulling Hongye up.

"Let's go."

Lu Ban glanced at the windowsill again. He really didn't know whether this Trist was real or fake.

He had only taken two steps when suddenly, a shadow emerged from the woods on one side.

Lu Ban hurriedly dodged, only to find that the shadow was not facing him.

"It's daytime!"

Sia recognized the dark figure. Its entire body was wrapped in tentacles like seaweed, and it had only a pair of bloodshot eyes. It was an inhuman monster. This shadow was the same monster that had dragged the tourist into the water during the day!

However, it had no intention of attacking Xia and the others, and instead rushed towards the villa.

More dark figures emerged from the forest, forming groups. Although their numbers were fewer than the white monsters, Lu Ban observed that these monsters possessed immense strength. Upon colliding with the white monsters, they extended their tentacles and tore them apart. In an instant, pale yellow fluid splattered like blood, staining the villa's corridor.

"Are they fighting each other?"

Sia asked, puzzled.

bang——

At the same time, a noise came from the room on the second floor. Lu Ban hurriedly turned around and saw Trist rolling down from the second floor. He was covered in blood, his clothes were torn, his skin was torn open, and in some places, you could even see deep wounds that exposed the bone.

pat-

Without any apparent landing motion, Twisted Fate crashed to the ground with a cracking sound.

Lu Ban quickly helped Trist up.

"Alive."

"Trist said weakly."

Several more pieces of white monster flesh flew out from the second floor, indicating that the dark figure was easily overpowering these white monsters.

Without stopping, the four quickly arrived at the parking lot, where a massacre between monsters had clearly taken place, leaving behind a trail of blood and gore.

Lu Ban helped Trist into the car and saw Sia start the engine.

Although these shadowy figures helped them defeat the white monster, no one knows whether they are truly friendly to them; leaving as soon as possible is the best course of action.

In the back seat, Twisted Fate was on the verge of death. Lu Ban used the first aid kit in the car to stop the bleeding, but the wound was clearly beyond what the first aid kit could handle. Before long, the wound would become infected and kill Twisted Fate.

He looked at Lu Ban and gestured for Lu Ban to come closer.

"There's something I need to confess to you."

"Trist said in a low voice."

Chapter 932 Another Me

"You said."

Lu Ban's heart skipped a beat. He guessed that Trist might be about to say something very important, but he didn't know the specifics.

However, with his body badly injured, it would be difficult for Drizzt to hold out until dawn, until the rescue ships arrived. In such a perilous situation, he might really die in front of Lu Ban.

the second time.

"I know."

Trist lowered his voice, so that only he and Lu Ban could hear it.

"I met another version of myself while I was in the hotel."

"To be precise, I now know what I truly look like."

"I am just a phantom, a memory, merely an actor on a stage."

His voice trembled slightly, whether from exhaustion due to excessive blood loss or from the shock of realizing these things.

"I'm a little cold."

Drizzt suddenly interrupted his narration and said...

Lu Ban knew that this was an illusion caused by the loss of blood. At this moment, Twisted Fate's sensory system had become disordered, and he would gradually lose body temperature. Twisted Fate's pale lips had already announced this fact.

Lu Ban rummaged through the trunk and found only a dusty blanket, which he covered Trist with.

"Thank you, thank you."

Drizzt was like a helpless old man, muttering in a low voice, which grew softer and softer.

"Go on, I'm listening."

Lu Ban grasped Twisted Fate's hand. Although the hand was a bloody mess, with two fingers exposing horrifying bones, he did not mind and still transferred his body heat to Twisted Fate through his palm.

"In the hotel, I learned everything, your adventure, our adventure, haha, it's incredible, I even thought it was just a dream, a strange dream."

Trist coughed twice, coughing up something from his throat, and the jolting of the vehicle caused him to sway slightly.

“I also know the meaning of my existence here, Lu Ban. As long as you stay here, as long as you stay here, we are real.”

Drizzt said, looking at Lu Ban, his pupils reflecting only Lu Ban's image.

“We are memories that exist because of you. As long as you acknowledge that this place is real, then we will exist forever. You can live an ordinary life here, get married, have children, grow old, and all those hardships will leave you, and no indescribable beings will bother you.”

He spoke, then hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"Even everything we have now will be erased, and we will return to the time when we first met."

Hearing Trist's words confirmed many of Lu Ban's previous guesses.

First of all, there is a huge question about this world: the personalities of the people Lu Ban knows, such as Trist, Sia, Momiji, and Amber, were formed under the circumstances of another world. Such experiences are not replicable. However, in this world without supernatural things, their state is similar to that of the people Lu Ban knows. This is very suspicious.

Although it can be said that a person's character is their destiny, the people Lu Ban is seeing now are all the souls of the people who have grown up in the real world and were eventually formed. Even though they are in different worlds, they have similarities.

But now it seems that these people are more like personalities created by splitting off a complete soul, injecting corresponding memories, and then shaping it.

It is likely that Drizzt regained his original memories during his disappearance.

However, it's unknown how much of Drizzt's memory he has, or to what extent.

Lu Ban was not at all surprised that a god above gods could do such a thing.

They can travel through time, sending the chosen ones to the past, present, and future of other realms. Of course, they can also extract the souls or wills of these chosen ones, reshape them, and put them into the miniature garden to stage a play.

Lu Ban even knew that under the hands of a perverse individual like the "Dark One," he might actually completely reshape the souls of those chosen ones. In other words, from the perspective of normal human physiology, those created by the "Dark One" were themselves.

Having all the memories, personality, and physical condition, it can be said that she has been reborn.

Moreover, this rebirth is enough to break the closed loop of fate, because the newborns are separate individuals from the previous ones, similar to clones. Even if the real Drizzt dies, the Drizzt here can live on.

If Lu Ban is willing, he can even live here forever, enjoying an ordinary life, and after he dies, he can be resurrected and start over again.

Money, fame, power—everything is readily available.

The companions you parted ways with in the past, the regrets that can never be made up for, and the things you have always pursued can all be realized here.

This is a perfect new world.

Why are you telling me all this?

Lu Ban asked, "Since the purpose of the guy who created this world is to keep Lu Ban here forever, there is no need to tell Lu Ban these things through Drizzt. It would have been enough to just wait until the people around Lu Ban are almost dead and in complete despair before coming out to offer salvation."

"Because after gaining all the memories, I also understand that you will not be willing to stay here."

Drizzt sighed and spoke.

"Because I would make the same choice."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ban fell silent.

Drizzt is right.

Even if he could enjoy such a life, Lu Ban would not choose to indulge in it.

He knew very well what he should really be doing.
