In the abandoned factory district of the southern city.
"This place..." Ao Tian looked around, "Why is it another factory?"
Su Wenxin checked the data. "The energy fluctuations feel familiar."
"Just like that shadow from last time..." Qing Chen said.
Before he could finish, a sudden change occurred.
The entire factory district twisted and warped, but this time it wasn't Gamification; rather...
"Time-space distortion?" Su Wenxin stared at the data. "No, it's..."
"Retracing." A familiar voice echoed.
The three turned to see the Tea House Owner leisurely sitting on a pile of debris, holding a Game Controller.
"You!" Ao Tian pointed at him. "It’s definitely your doing!"
The owner smiled. "Strictly speaking, I'm just an NPC."
Qing Chen asked, "What do you mean?"
"Literally," the owner pressed a button on the Game Controller. "Watch closely."
The scene of the factory district suddenly became transparent, revealing what lay beneath...
"An ancient ruin?" Su Wenxin exclaimed in surprise. "It's been underneath all this time?"
The owner nodded. "To be precise, it’s the original sealing site."
The image continued to unfold, showing the complete sequence of events from that fateful day.
The original three holders were performing some kind of ritual, seemingly to use the power of an artifact to seal something away.
But at a critical moment, a shadow disrupted the ceremony.
"That shadow..." Ao Tian frowned. "Who is it?"
The owner's expression suddenly turned serious. "You should have guessed by now."
The three simultaneously realized something.
"Could it be...?"
"That's right," the boss stood up, "it's me."
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
But the next words from the boss left everyone stunned.
"To be precise, it's the former me."
【Ding】
【System Prompt】: [Plot Unlocked: The Truth]
The scene continued to play, revealing more details.
It turned out that the ritual back then was meant to seal away an existence that was about to go out of control.
And this existence is now the "Game Player."
"I was once the consciousness of this realm," the boss said, "but after my power went out of control, I had to be sealed."
"So the artifact..." Qing Chen began.
"Was specifically created to seal me," the boss nodded, "but after the ritual failed, my consciousness split."
"So now you are..." Su Wenxin pondered.
"I am the part that wanted to be sealed," the boss smiled, "and that shadow is the part that has gone mad."
Ao Tian scratched his head, "So you've been helping us all along?"
"Exactly," the boss shook the Game Controller, "the forms of power in this era are quite interesting; games serve as a good vessel."
"But why us?" Qing Chen asked.
The boss looked at the three of them: "Because you carry the shadows of those three from back then."
In the image, the figures of the original three holders gradually overlapped with those of the three present.
"Is this what they call fate?" Su Wenxin asked.
"No." The boss shook his head, "It's a choice." "The artifact chose you because you can break the fate." 【Ding】 【Game Player】: 【Final Dungeon unlocked】 【Difficulty: Nightmare】 【Three-person team recommended】 【PS: This time it's really the final】 "That shadow..." Ao Tian clenched his sword, "Is it coming?" "Worse than that." The boss said, "It wants to devour the rules of this world." "So we have to..." "Stop it." The boss interrupted Qing Chen, "But this time it's not a seal, but a Purification." Su Wenxin analyzed the data: "What do you need us to do?" "First," the boss smiled and raised the Game Controller, "a warm-up match?" Before he finished speaking, the entire space distorted again. But this time, the three had fully adapted to the power. The key turned into a sword and entangled the Data Stream, the mirror projected a light that was both real and fake, and the Formation Disk wove a web of rules. "Very good." The boss said, "You have grasped the true meaning of power." "Gamification is just an appearance, the essence is..." Qing Chen thought. "The reorganization of the rules." The boss nodded, "This is the true power of the artifact." 【Ding】 System Prompt: 【Final Battle countdown begins】 【12 hours later】 【Please be prepared】 Ao Tian flexed his wrist: "Will we still be in the factory this time?"
"Of course not," the boss said, "it's at..."
"Arcade Hall," Su Wenxin suddenly interjected.
Everyone turned to look at her.
She pointed into the distance. "Look over there."
On the skyline of the city, a massive Arcade Hall sign suddenly lit up.
"That's..."
"Final Battlefield," the boss said. "As usual, please be there."
With that, he vanished.
Leaving behind only one sentence:
"Remember to bring tea."
The three of them exchanged glances.
This time, their opponent was the madness of the world.
But they were no longer the rookies they once were.
【Ding】
Ao Tian: 【So what does this mean?】
【Save the World Game?】
Su Wenxin: 【Be serious.】
Qing Chen: 【...】
【Let's head back and prepare.】
Yes, preparation was key.
Because this time, it truly was the Final Battle.
