DNF, made by the ancient gods

Bai Ge, who was quietly turning the pages of the book, slowly closed the book. This book, which materialized from Bai Lu's memory, contained his experiences and feelings. After reading it several times, there was nothing wrong with him.

"you……"

Shadows loomed in Bailu's eyes, he propped up the long table, staring closely at Baige who was also looking at him.

He opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything harsh.

"Why am I not dead yet?"

He should be dead, as long as he and Baige fight, then everything will be over——Baige will disappear from this spiritual world when Bailu wins, and no one will stop him from committing suicide; Baige wins, which means the egret dies.

Since Bailu is dead, isn't Yoshito saved?

This is the belief that supports the fight between Bailu and Baige.

Rationally speaking, he thinks that the possibility of him defeating Baige is very slim, and even challenging Baige is a kind of suicide in itself.

But there is always something that takes people beyond the fear of death.

He thought he was going to die because he couldn't accept sacrificing Yoshino to complete himself.And since he was about to die, he maximized his value—he wanted to open up a way out for Yoshino, and create a world line in which he would die no matter what he chose.

As early as the beginning, the wishful thinking was planned, and even the ice master who took the initiative to cause conflicts clenched his hands, and the long table wailed as if it was overwhelmed.

"What are you thinking about?"

The white grid lifted upwards, and the closed book seemed to be held by an invisible hand, and it flew smoothly to one of the two stacks of books.

"You are not going to die."

"No, this is the spiritual world. Dying here is equivalent to dying outside. When my spirit dies, my body has no meaning of existence."

"But did I mention that you and I are fighting in your mind?"

Baige calmly corrected the mistakes in Bailu's words, and this sentence also emptied Bailu's doubts that were suppressed in his heart.

He stopped, as if he had stopped breathing, and stood in place like a puppet tightly bound by silk threads.

"It's a dream."

"I will not fight you in your mind - if I lose, I will die, and if I win, you will die, both outcomes are what you want, but for you For me it's terrible..."

This is the bad way Bailu thought, and he grasped the core of the problem very cleverly—as long as he dies, everything will be over.

But Baige had already been prepared for this. Facing such a huge loophole in the plan, how could he turn a blind eye to it?

"You want her to live, but I want you to live. You can't die in the spiritual world without my permission, because the place where you fought with me..."

"It will always be your dream."

Those black eyes were like a bottomless abyss, in which the deepest and purest evils surged and wreaked havoc.

"..."

After a while, Egret's head lowered slightly, allowing the long white hair to cover his eyes and cover his back shoulders.

--he died.

Without any signs or words, Egret resolutely crushed his heart.His blood has long been frozen, even in the spiritual world, he will not change this cognition, so his body will not bleed blood.

"Did you commit suicide?"

Baige raised his head, ignoring the slumped corpse sitting opposite him. For him, the two-colored sky seemed to attract his attention more.

"But it's really decisive."

He shook his head, covered the two-meter-high wand with his palm, and stroked the wand made of this special material, lost in thought.

Bailu's reaction can be said to be very decisive. After he realized that any fight with Baige would be futile, he chose to kill himself.

In his heart, Yoshino's life was higher than his after all.

"If you've done it in the first place, you've probably achieved what you want to do..."

Baige slowly closed his eyes and stretched out his free left hand.He was whispering, as if he was talking to himself, and he seemed to be talking to the dead and sleeping egret.

"But have you ever thought that everything now...is just a dream?"

Snapped--

A crisp finger snap sounded.

*

The third time.

It was as if he was drowning in the water, and the boundless black current oppressed him so that he could not move, but at this moment, it seemed that a life-saving hand appeared, and he was dragged by this hand to float to the surface.

In front of the long table, Bailu opened his eyes.

"Aren't you surprised why you haven't died this time?"

"...I understand."

The egret looked up and saw the two-colored sky as well.He knows that this is not the sky of the spiritual world, but the sky of dreams that are more false than the spiritual world.

From the very beginning, Baige had been confusing him.

"I just have a question..."

But even so, Bai Lu did not intend to give up. He stared at Bai Ge with piercing eyes, knowing that Bai Ge would definitely give him the answer.

"Where is this place?"

He has his own guess, and needs Bai Ge's answer to complete this guess.

"This is your dream."

"My dream..."

From the moment Baige brought up the dream, he has been thinking about it.The current white grid is just an image, how can an image have a dream?

And the answer was as expected.

"You can't hide this from you. This is indeed your dream, and only your dream can ensure that you will not die. As for your thoughts...you guessed right, you should have absolute control over it ..."

Baige pointed to the sky, and there was obviously room for words.

"But just as your dominance in the spiritual world has been blocked by me, your control in this dream has also been robbed."

"When did it start?"

"I don't think you have forgotten what happened just now."

An imperfect illusion.

Realizing the problem, Bailu slowly raised his hand.

"If you want to leave this dream, do you have to kill the you in front of you?"

"That's right, if I don't take the initiative to let you go, you can only kill me."

Chapter 041 You Have Countless Chances

This is the dreamland, the dreamland of egrets.

"Here, you will not die. Even if your head is knocked out, your heart is pierced, and your body is smashed into particles, you are still alive."

"And when your dead dream ends, a new one begins."

——Reincarnation is endless.

"The end of everything does not lie in your death. The real end of reincarnation is my death, or everything in the outside world comes to an end."

"Your death..."

"Yes, as long as you kill me once, I will completely disappear from your presence."

The egret will not die, but the white grid will die.

This dream is Bailu's dream, and Baige is just a foreign existence. He can't appear in the dream as a dream character like Bailu. He can only intervene in this dream with his real existence.

In other words, as long as he is killed once, Baige will really die.

"Therefore, you have countless opportunities."

Baige held his wand tightly and stood up slowly.

"Show me your capacity. If you fail once, you can do it twice, and if you fail twice, you can do it three times. As long as your faith has not fallen, I will always accept your challenge."

He will accept countless challenges from Shirataka until his death or Yoshino's comes first.

"Use your immortality to impose death on me."

"Little Four~~"

Being dragged out by a friend should have been a very joyful thing, but at this moment, Yoshino felt that this strange situation made her somewhat uncomfortable.

Should she say it?

Turning her head secretly, the girl in the uniform of a middle school student who didn't know where was looking at her with a playful smile, saying "little four", as if she seemed so old...

Obviously just a middle school student.

"It's not just a junior high school student, it's just that the age of this body seems very young. If it is true, I am an old monster who has lived for countless billions of years."

Wow... Wouldn't that be many times older than human history?

She complained silently in her heart, but the girl who has always been very considerate did not say it out of her mouth.

Moreover, the current situation is not something that can be complained to her. She doesn't want to be regarded by her friends as the onset of the second disease.

"Four Shino, Four Shino."

Yoshino was stunned for a moment as the silver spoon shook in front of her eyes before she realized it.

Looking forward, Yajuya was standing up, dangling the spoon in his hand, staring at her with squinted eyes.

"Consciousness has finally floated back."

Nanatsu also looked at Yoshino suspiciously. She was sitting next to Yoshino, so she watched the whole process of Yoshino's "wandering mind" more directly.

I was still chatting and laughing with them, but suddenly it was like... being called out by someone?

Nanao couldn't tell what Yoshino's state was like at that time, but felt that Yoshino's attention was seriously wandering, and her eyes wandered elsewhere from time to time.

But there is nothing in those places, can Yoshino still stare at the air in a daze?

"The frequency of your mind wandering these two days... is a bit high."

"Ah... I'm very sorry."

Yoshino hastily apologized, and as for the girl lying on her shoulder...she was going to ignore it for the time being.

"Where did we just talk about?"

"Speaking of the supernatural events on campus, you've heard of it before. It's a strange man who fell from the sky, caught passers-by and tried to ask where Tiangong City is..."

"Hey, Tiangong City?"

Yoshino was somewhat surprised.

"Wasn't that already flooded by the tsunami?"

"Yeah, that's why I think that person is strange. Some students in our school told him that he still doesn't believe it, but he just keeps talking about dates and big battles. What a weird person."

Taking a mouthful of the heart-cooling ice cream, Nanami tapped the rim of the glass with a silver spoon.

"I didn't hear anything clearly, so you must have been in a daze from the beginning to the end, Yoshino."

Nanatsu sighed, and brought up the question again, but Yoshino, who thought she had escaped a catastrophe, froze with a smile, a little flustered.

"Yoshino, has something happened to you recently?"

"Everyone has already noticed this matter, don't try to fool around."

Yaguya and Yuzuru looked puzzled, the reason why they came out was obviously to eat and drink... As for Yoshino, although they have a good relationship with Yoshino, they don't always pay attention to it Details about Yoshino.

Would do that... Obviously there is only the seven sins, the severe Yoshino, okay?

Qizui spread the pot on the innocent "sisters" who came out to eat and drink without changing his face, and ignored Erya's eyes that seemed to be shining because of seeing lilies blooming.

"Would you like to talk to them?"

Aiwass didn't care, she leaned on an empty seat and waved to Yoshino with a smile on her face.
