42. The Game Officially Begins!

At 5 a. m., in a small roadside Park in Luofeng City.

With their own thoughts in mind, Yimo and Ji Ran unknowingly arrived here.

Yimo looked at a Bench by the roadside and asked, "Want to sit down for a while?"

Ji Ran nodded.

Yimo sat down on the Bench first, taking off her coat and placing it on the Bench: "Sit down."

Yimo was worried that her younger sister, Ji Ran, would get cold.

Ji Ran looked at the Bench, sat down, took off her coat, and draped it over Yimo's shoulders.

Yimo glanced at her sister, who was now only wearing a white sundress, and shook her head, saying, "Idiot?"

Then he tugged at Ji Ran, letting her lean against him, and wrapped them both in his coat.

There was practically no one in the Park at that time.

The two of them sat Jingjing without saying a word.

Only when the streetlights went out, in the darkest moment before dawn, did Yimo finally open her mouth and ask, "Sister."

What's the difference between the real world and the virtual world?

Ji Ran leaned on Yimo's shoulder, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the moment, savoring the warmth of her brother's body. She said softly, "The difference lies only in perception."

If you believe it to be the real world, then it is the real world.

If you consider it a virtual world, then it is a virtual world.

Yimo and asked, "To you, is the world right now real?"

Ji Ran nodded. "The world where my brother is is the real world."

Upon hearing this, Yimo felt a pang of pain in her heart. "Then why do you keep reminding me, making me feel a strong sense of rejection towards this chaotic world?"

Ji Ran: "Brother."

You care about the process, I care about the result.

At this moment, Ji Ran's body began to tremble, and she closed her eyes even tighter, as if she was forcibly enduring some kind of pain.

Yimo: "If the process is painful, but the result is good."

"I am willing to endure temporary pain."

Ji Ran: "Mm."

Yimo: "But, will it really have a happy ending?"

Ji Ran: "Probably."

Upon Yimo, Yimo felt relieved. "If, in some world, we are forced to separate..."

"Maybe one year, maybe three years, maybe ten years."

"So, will you forget your brother?"

Ji Ran: "No."

Yimo felt Ji Ran's body trembling more and more violently, so she hugged her even tighter, wishing she could meld her into her own body and never be separated from her.

Yimo: "If there were such a world..."

Yimo's voice choked slightly. "If you haven't contacted me, what could be the reason?"

Ji Ran: "Because of my brother."

Yimo lowered her head, looking at Ji Ran's pained Ji Ran, and said, "So... that's how it is?"

Although Ji Ran didn't open her eyes, she felt Yimo's gaze. She raised her hand and covered her closed eyes with the back of her hand.

The lips, pale and almost white, parted slightly. "So, it's my brother's decision."

Ji Ran was blocking at that moment was the blood that kept overflowing from her eyes.

Yimo also sensed something was wrong, grabbed Ji Ran and hugged her tightly, whispering in her ear, "I'm sorry, you're fake."

Ji Ran trembled slightly upon hearing this, but a slight smile appeared on her lips, "Mm."

Following Yimo and Ji Ran's words.

The cumulus clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, piling up layer upon layer, as if they were about to swallow the entire world.

The wind... suddenly picked up...

Click--!

A thunderclap streaked across the sky, illuminating everything in a stark white light.

At that moment, the world seemed on the verge of destruction.

At this Yimo, in Yimo's ears, in her mind, in her heart...

An inexplicable sound kept echoing.

Are you going to abandon your sister?

"Once you let go, she will leave you completely!"

Day after day, year after year.

"Don't you remember that life of utter darkness?"

"You'll destroy yourself, your sister!"

Why bother with outsiders?

"Isn't all of this what you truly wanted?"

"Yimo!"

"Isn't everything you have now what you truly want?!"

"All of this is what you've always dreamed of and wanted!"

I'm sorry, but even the most beautiful dream is just a dream after all.

The world where someone holds onto hope and waits for their turn is the world that truly belongs to them!

With her eyes closed, Yimo felt the warmth of her younger sister's body and whispered in Ji Ran's ear, "Goodbye."

"Please, in a future where I am not by your side, wait for me!"

I will find you!

I will no longer run away!

Ji Ran: "Yes, brother!"

Following Ji Ran's response.

The entire world froze in an instant, shattered, and vanished completely.

When Yimo opened her eyes again...

Where is my little sister in my arms?

He had reverted to his 20-year-old self, finding himself in a dark Void.

The voice of the System Loli echoed in my ears.

"The Dream World of Yimo is shattered."

Yimo subconsciously touched the corner of her eye, which still had a trace of tears.

Then he wiped himself dry and shouted into the void, "System Loli, one day I will!"

I'm going to get you out here and give you a good beating!

"You just wait!!!"

"You manipulative bastard!"

Yimo's memories have been fully restored.

He entered the Game, but forgot his previous memories.

He now clearly remembers that there should have been six Player in this Game, including himself.

He doesn't have a younger sister Ji Ran at all!

The Game Rules were all hidden back then.

The only system sound was a prompt asking Yimo to enter a word.

It's somewhat inexplicable.

Before entering the Game, Yimo recalled what Shi Xinglan had told her.

"Oh, Yimo, you must do your best!"

"Your little sister is waiting for you outside! Make it out of the Game alive! You can do it!"

"Oh, are you satisfied now?"

If that's not enough, just fantasize about your girlfriend!

"Get away from me!"

Based on what Shi Xinglan had said before, about trying to think at a higher level, Yimo didn't hesitate to enter the prompt into the system.

"Younger sister"

This Game is most likely Game to target psychological deficiencies!

And indeed, Yimo was right.

Physical deficiencies can be easily resolved by Character Customization.

But the flaws in everyone's heart are very difficult to overcome!

After entering the Dream World, Yimo, who has lost her memory, sees and hears her younger sister's voice every time she does so.

Because of the prompt words, I feel a strange emotion, as if telling myself that all of this is fake.

None of this is real!

However, Yimo immersed in the world that her sister hadn't left that she couldn't pull herself out of it!

Even knowing that everything is problematic, they are unwilling to break free.

That feeling is probably like someone who has just lost their job and has no money for food or rent waking up in Despair in their Rental Apartment, only to find that they have an extra 100 million yuan in their bank account that they can use as they please without any problems.

Let people know that it's unreasonable, unrealistic, and has serious problems.

I don't want to wake up, I'm still immersed in it!

My Ji Ran, is Yimo's biggest regret in this life!

It is far superior to anything else that can replace it!

Yimo rubbed her forehead, her eyes Guangmang as she quickly pondered the events of her dream.

"My sister didn't leave; she appeared by my side because she was the one I wanted most."

"The reason Xia Yuxi's relationship with me didn't improve in the Dream World might be due to the Butterfly effect of my sister not leaving."

"It could also be because he felt he wasn't good enough for Xia Yuxi. After she fell for him and confessed her feelings, she was rejected, which made her sad, and he felt guilty. Subconsciously, he didn't want her to appear in his life again."

"In the world where the younger sister in my dream exists, Cang Lingshan, the number one brother of the Mizuhoshi, did not appear."

"I didn't reject Cang Lingshan to that extent, so the reason she didn't appear is most likely due to the Butterfly effect of my sister not leaving..."

"So..."

"Is the reason Cang Lingshan is paying attention to me in the real world because her sister left?"

"Does your sister know Cang Lingshan?"

"So, Tong Muxue's departure might be to see her sister?"

"Beside his own sister?"

"If Cang Lingshan can't even handle herself, then she absolutely cannot handle her younger sister who is more powerful than her."

"Even Cang Lingshan couldn't resolve the matter of Tong Muxue being taken away..."

"It seems the possibility that my sister took Tong Muxue away has become more likely!"

"Sister... why did you take Tong Muxue away...?"

"Based on the hints from the younger sister in my dream, there must be an unavoidable reason why she hasn't contacted me."

"Her purpose in taking Tong Muxue away was to make her sister-in-law more outstanding?"

"No... my sister isn't the type to care about these things..."

"She has other motives!"

"What exactly is the purpose of this?!"

Yimo reasoning about what happened in the dream, Yimo couldn't think any further.

He pinched his forehead hard, straining to calculate.

At this moment, the countdown in my ears continued unabated.

This stopped Yimo from thinking too much and made him think about another question.

"In the Dream World, is my younger sister Ji Ran real, or just a figment of my imagination?"

Yimo knew very well that the reason she met Xia Yuxi was because her sister had made her go to an outrageously remote pastry shop at an absurdly inconvenient time.

Xia Yuxi is the key to breaking out of her Dream World.

If Xia Yuxi hadn't constantly provoked her, Yimo well that she would never have been able to escape from the dream.

In other words, the reason I was able to live out my dream was because my sister was helping me the whole time!

Otherwise, it would be a certain death trap!

If the younger sister is a fictional character created from a dream, would she go against the Game's original intent and do something like this?

Shouldn't we let ourselves sink deeper and deeper into it, becoming increasingly addicted?

But if the younger sister is real, why would she appear in the Death Game?

Why am I appearing in my Dream World?!

Yimo well that among the five Player besides herself at the start of this Death Game, her younger sister Ji Ran was definitely not one of them!

Just like the previous problem, it's another Hutong!

As the system notifications kept ringing in her ears, Yimo was told that she had less than 3 minutes left to leave the Void Space.

Yimo finally turned her attention back to the Game Rules, which had all appeared in the system!

Game Introduction: A life of hedonistic indulgence leads to fleeting pleasures, but the dream ultimately crumbles upon awakening.

After reading the rules, Yimo pondered for a moment and then took out his two Game Cards.

One of the Cards is a familiar Inner Persona Girlfriend Card. The person in the photo is Qin Muse, the girlfriend from the first Game who has been searching for him but has never found him!

In this Game, Yimo was unexpectedly matched with Qin Muse!

The current Alter Ego Value has dropped to an absurdly low "23%"!

This is in stark contrast to the over 80% score achieved in the first Game.

The Boyfriend Privilege is shown as (1/3).

Based on the current situation, the "Inner Persona Girlfriend" Cards is indeed not a one-time use card. The number of uses for the Boyfriend Privilege will not be refreshed in the new Game after it has been used before; it is a case of "one use, one less use".

The other card, shimmering with Qicai Guangmang and dazzlingly bright, is Cards SSR+ Cards that Yimo drew in this Game!

Looking at the newly drawn SSR+ Cards in her hand, Yimo wore a helpless expression and couldn't help but laugh at herself, "I thought 'Inner Persona Girlfriend' was already the worst SSR+ Cards, but I didn't expect there to be an even worse Cards."

"Pah! This isn't just trash, it's a complete waste card!"

Yimo muttered to himself, putting away the two SSR+ Cards, grabbing his left cheek with his left hand to cover his Left Eye, which was flashing with red Guangmang, and revealing a very excited smile, "Hahaha..."

"After realizing that my younger sister had always cared about me."

"I'm starting to feel like Death Game are nothing at all!"

"I will get out of here alive, I definitely will."

"Bring it on!"

"Let's begin the sixth Game!"

It has to be said that Ji Ran gave Yimo a shot in the arm, making him even more motivated to live than before!

Yimo watched the countdown to entering someone else's Dream World reach zero, amidst her somewhat morbid laughter, a thought suddenly occurred to her.

Oh.

Oh, right!

Never go to Qin Muse's Dream World.

It's better to just watch her warm up her group online; encountering her in Game World where people can Dead Man is quite troublesome!

As the system countdown reached zero, a new system notification sounded in Yimo's ears.

"Dingling, random matching in the Dream World complete."

"Qin Muse's Dream World"

Have a pleasant dream journey!

Yimo could even utter a single word, she lost consciousness and was thrown into Qin Muse's Dream World by the System Loli!
