Extra: Savior

When Xu Xi regained consciousness, she found herself lying on the table with her head on her arm, seemingly asleep.

Where is this?

He remembered... after clearing that building, he couldn't wait to start the final Dungeon.

That Dungeon also taught him what it meant for the difficulty to be as hellish as it gets.

Fortunately, the Rollback was still very effective.

He thought he would be very excited when he reached the 999th floor, after all, he had always regarded reaching the top as a goal that he needed to strive for.

Unexpectedly, the wish-making ceremony was quite ordinary.

Standing on the last step, below are layers upon layers of golden staircases stretching infinitely into the void, and in front of you is a golden barrier of countless interwoven streams of light.

There were no "gods" or any special, grand phenomena; there was only a simple prompt reminding him to make a wish.

Xu Xi was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't dwell on it too much, because he didn't care about the origins of the God Hunt.

Regarding the content of his wish, he chose to end the God Hunt Game almost without hesitation.

As for why he didn't wish to return to his original world?

Why go back? To continue working overtime like a beast of burden?

Let's forget about it.

On the contrary, if he stayed in this world, even if he didn't live a life of great glory and wealth after the God Hunt Game ended, he would at least be able to live a life free from want... right?

Xu Xi had high hopes, but reality was clearly not quite what he imagined.

It was pitch black all around him. After his eyes adjusted to the darkness and he finally managed to make out some outlines, he looked around.

In the moderately sized office area, there were rows of empty workstations, ornamental plants on the desks, and a water dispenser in the corner...

Xu Xi was taken aback for a moment.

Isn't this his office from his original world?!

So what's going on here?

Did they automatically send him back after he made his wish?

That doesn't make sense either. Logically, he should have died suddenly in this world. Could it be that the God Hunt resurrected him?

Xu Xi was momentarily dazed, but he quickly calmed down.

Now that we're back, there's no point in overthinking. The most important thing is to figure out the current situation.

He touched his body but didn't find his phone or anything like that. Instead, he suddenly realized that Items he had acquired earlier were still there.

So he simply took out the Item phone, and using the beam of the flashlight, got up to press the light switch on the wall.

"Clatter."

The overhead lights were not responding.

Xu Xi raised an eyebrow slightly, a premonition growing stronger deep within her.

Just as he was about to go out to take a look, a very soft, crisp sound suddenly came from behind him.

Turning around, I saw a black ballpoint pen inexplicably lying on the ground.

At the same time, heavy footsteps echoed in the corridor outside.

Xu Xi sighed; her premonition seemed to have come true.

He silently took out the axe with the large eyeball embedded in it and walked towards the door.

--

Eleven months have passed since that "Weird Invasion" that turned the world upside down. As the initial epicenter of the outbreak, this office building and the surrounding area have long been a restricted zone.

"All personnel on high alert!"

Zhou Ling looked at the life detector that had suddenly become responsive with surprise and uncertainty.

The residents of this area had already been evacuated when the strange phenomenon broke out. Apart from the armed personnel stationed here, what other life was left?

"Calling command center! This is the outer perimeter, inside the restricted area... there seems to be survivors?"

A survivor? Zhou Ling's expression faltered slightly upon hearing this.

He took a deep breath and replied in a serious tone, "Command center received! The restricted area has been out of contact for eleven months. Immediately confirm the number and status of the target. Do not open fire rashly!"

"Activate high-precision thermal imaging; all personnel enter Level 1 alert!"

"If the target makes any unusual movements... shoot them dead!"

"Target spotted!"

"Target: One person, carrying an axe-shaped melee weapon that appears to be a strange weapon; danger level... unknown!"

At the entrance of the office building, a black-haired youth slowly walked out, holding a giant axe in his hand. Most strangely, a fist-sized eyeball was embedded in the axe's cheek.

The young man looked around for a while, and finally, slowly met their gaze.

*

Xu Xi stepped out of the building, the alarm blared throughout the sky.

Facing the searchlights and the cold muzzle of a gun, he finally became certain that he had truly returned to his original world.

The original world before the invasion.

Good news, his Rollback is still in progress.

The bad news is, he needs to fulfill his wish himself.

J Province.

The "God Hunt Game" that once dominated the world has completely disappeared, and the long-lost sunlight shines quietly through the clouds onto this bustling city.

The square was bustling with people, and everything had returned to its former vitality.

In the very center of the square stands a tall statue of a young man. At the foot of the statue are rings of stone tablets, densely covered with names. These are the names of the people from J Province who were chosen by the God Hunt but ultimately did not survive.

A steady stream of people spontaneously lined up, walked to the statue and the stone tablet, gently placed the bouquets in their hands, bowed deeply, and some even whispered their thanks to the statue.

They don't know where the hero who saved the world went, but as long as the statue stands, the miracles he left behind will never end.

After offering bouquets to the statue and the monument, Ji Yang slowly withdrew from the crowd.

He gazed silently at the enormous statue surrounded by flowers, watching people lay flowers and observe a moment of silence around the monument, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

The moment the young man reached the summit, the Contamination lands of various countries were restored to their pristine state.

The God Hunt Game is over, and he has become the Savior of the world, but the other party has disappeared without a trace.

Some believe the young man sacrificed himself for his dream, while others think he may have taken control of the God Hunt Game and left this world.

Opinions differ among the people.

But whatever the truth may be, peace has arrived.

When it was confirmed that the God Hunt Game had truly disappeared, many people wept with joy.

The revelry lasted a long time that day. People shouted and laughed in the square and covered the entire memorial area with flowers, as if to sweep away all the gloom accumulated over the past year.

Ji Yang stood outside the crowd, looking at the dense yet orderly throng, and thought to himself:

The whole world is mourning you, but... will you ever come back?

After a long while, he withdrew his gaze, turned, and left.

248, I absolutely have to survive this time too!

The wind blew across the square, as if someone was responding silently.

End of extra chapter.
