Chapter 6: Soul Flying and Corpse Scattering

  "Sorry." Akira came over.

  "No big deal, I'd die for you." I sent back a smiling emoji.

  ………

  The massacre is complete. I lie on the grass, staring up at the sky with my eyes wide open in death. Fresh red blood flows from under me all over the ground (damn! For the first time, this game's CG is so realistic). Akane walks over and silently gazes at me. That little wizard actually still follows her, pulling and tugging on her clothes, asking to be given two more slashes to complete his honor. Damn it! What kind of person is he?!

  The autumn leaves lowered their heads and picked up my body (sweat! How come this sentence is so awkward) "Make way!" she said The crowd of onlookers automatically parted a path Her eyes looked straight ahead, slowly passing through Everyone stared at her in silence No one spoke The atmosphere was very sad

  "Stop! Stop!" I chatted with her privately "Don't be so melodramatic, okay? It's nauseating. Where do you want to take me?"

  "Go dig yourself a hole and jump in."

  "Murdering one's husband?" I laughed "Just throw it away and be done with it, don't make things complicated, I'm scared!"

  "No way!"

  The leaves fell along the small path to the back of the city, and then went up to the big snowy mountain. She held me in her hands and walked slowly like this for a few hours - really more than an hour! Talking to her didn't get any response, which made my hair stand on end. The game designer must have some problem, why can't I return to the city or summon the riding spirit beast at this time? The walking speed is much slower than usual, it's really rubbish! But thinking about it, if you die, your soul will fly away and scatter, where will you stay? It doesn't matter, let someone hold you and wander around everywhere. Who has a problem after all? When setting up the game, I didn't expect anyone to be so boring.

  ………

  Arrived at the top of Snow Mountain in the local area.

  The autumn leaves finally put me down "Are you okay?" I asked. This whole journey has scared me so much that I don't even dare to call her my wife anymore.

  "It's nothing," she said and sat down beside me.

  It's okay, I breathed a sigh of relief. I was just afraid that playing games would lead to mental health issues, and if that happened because of me, it would be unforgivable.

  The fallen leaves sat beside me for a long time without saying a word.

  "Hey! Are you still there?" I couldn't help but ask again.

  "In."

  At this time I saw snow powder flying randomly at the foot of the mountain. Then it was the howling of the beast summoned by Riding Spirit shaking the valley. "Someone is coming," I said.

  "I know."

  ……

  Still dozens of SB bugs chased after him, this time their opponent was left with only one person.

  "Go quickly, don't mind me!" I hastily said. Actually, I didn't have anything to be afraid of - already a dead person, what's there to fear? "I'll just lie here for a few days and come back to life, you go back!"

  “…………”

  Their mounts surrounded us in a circle, trapping us inside. They're about to take action. "It's better to pursue the remnants of the enemy forces with remaining strength rather than seeking fame by imitating the tyrant." - Chairman Mao His old self's brilliant strategic and military thinking has deeply entered our hearts.

  "You just want equipment, don't you? Take it and leave me alone," said Akira.

  Good heavens! Did I hear that wrong? You're giving away equipment to others and still playing what?

  No mistake was made because Akane had already thrown away her sword - the only ultimate Heaven's Judgment in the entire district.

  "What are you doing?" I'm going crazy.

  Those people have gone crazy! Akane's equipment is the dream of all warriors in this district! Akane threw them one by one, they snatched one by one, and even several people fought each other for a necklace.

  She sat down beside me as if nothing had happened. She was left with only a plain white dress on her body.

  "I have nothing to say."

  Everything has been looted by that SB bug - I swear, as long as he's still in this district, as long as he's still in this game, I'll never let him off - Now he's laughing: "Dead man, aren't you supposed to be awesome? Today I see how awesome you are?"

  He started killing autumn leaves by hand. Once, twice, three times.

  Autumn leaves do not dodge or fight back. Of course, from a practical point of view, a warrior who has lost all armor and weapons can't fight back anyway. "Return to the city!" I kept typing, pouring out exclamation marks and question marks for her, although it was just on the keyboard, but somehow I felt like I had already shouted myself hoarse?

  "Are you stupid? You're going to give them a string of ten!" I anxiously asked "What are you trying to do, boss!!!"

  "Be with you," said Akira.

  I was speechless.

  ……

  Autumn leaves fluttered into the air, and the fierce wind on Snow Mountain danced with her long sleeves. She was like a white butterfly, lightly flying away, as if she were about to become an immortal being. Then, gradually, she fell down, and slowly died. I realized for the first time that death could be so beautiful.

  The last time she fell down. She can't fly anymore, even ten souls flying together scattered. She fell beside me.

  Those SBs, still unsatisfied, rode their summoned beasts back and forth on our corpses, venting their frustrations to their heart's content. On the side, they were also spewing out profanities and insults at the top of their lungs, amidst a thick cloud of dark smoke - being able to trample the former strongest in this district underfoot was enough to give them an immense thrill. Because Autumn Leaf is now nothing but a has-been - having dropped levels, lost equipment, and with no chance for revenge or comeback - utterly defeated.

  Some people say that online games maximize human evil because no one knows who you are. I disagree - the convergence in reality is just because of fear of taking responsibility, and under the premise that one will not pay a price or be punished, human evil will be exposed without exception - just like what happened to me and Akira.

  ……

  It's finally over. The whole world is quiet again.

  We lay side by side on the snowy mountain top, our bodies tightly pressed together. The snow fell continuously without stopping. We were both only wearing thin undergarments, surrounded by vast expanses of white snow.

  "It's still so beautiful here. Those people left without even taking a single snowflake away." Akira said suddenly. Her words were poetic but also very stupid.

  "Is it cold?" I asked subconsciously. Then immediately realized that this was a stupid question, comparable to the autumn leaves' words just now. What's wrong with me? It's just a game, what's hot or cold? And if the snowflakes here could be taken away, the game's art designer would be rich.

  "Cold." Akira replied seriously.

  I'm worried about her mental state. The temperature in the game is unusually high.

  "Are you okay?" I asked Akane.

  "It's nothing," Akira said. "I'm fine." She looked calm, like there was no problem at all. I felt relieved. "Hehe, being a woman is pretty good," I joked. "But you're a tomboy, big bro! Not quite!"

  "Get out!" Akira yelled at me. Then I saw a smile coming from her.
