Before Fu Shen could pull her up, the place he was standing at collapsed too and the two of them dropped down together.
Fu Shen quickly pulled Ming Shu into his arms.
They were falling at a very fast speed. The images around them turned into light shadows and they couldn’t see anything in front of them.
“Huala—.”
Water splashed everywhere.
Two figures fell into the depth of the water. Bubbles formed around them. Fu Shen hugged Ming Shu really tightly and controlled his energy. He swam up.
When they reached the surface of the water, the first thing Fu Shen did was to check on Ming Shu.
Ming Shu wiped her face calmly. “Didn’t you say that you are really lucky?”
Tell me, is ths called lucky?
I became unlucky the moment I met you. Is that my fault?
“Accident,” Fu Shen said with a calm face. He looked at his surroundings and then swam to the shore.
He got Ming Shu onto the shore and grabbed her shoulder. “Are you hurt?”
Ming Shu moved her limbs. “Still okay, Won’t die.”
F**k, can you speak properly?
I have tempers too!
So angry!
Fu Shen pinched her wrist carefully and then squatted down to check on her legs and ankles. After confirming that she was not hurt, he felt more at ease.
Ming Shu looked at him finishing his actions in silence.
She looked away as Fu Shen stood up. “What place is this?”
Fu Shen turned back and took a look. The place they swam up from was a river. There was a mist floating on the river and they could only faintly make out what was on the opposite side of the river.
“I don’t know, we should still be in the game.” He paused. “What did you see after you walked through the door?”
Ming Shu found a piece of compressed biscuit inside her clothes. The packing was still sealed so it didn’t get soak in the water. She tore it opened and took a bite. “What did you see?”
“Many illusions. They seemed to be trying to lock me here,” Fu Shen said.
“Around the same.” Ming Shu replied, “This should be the necxt round. I wonder what the rules are.”
“Clouds are white, sky is blue. Evil and kindness is just a thin line of difference. A sea of blood, a moutain of corpse. Life and death is just a thin line of difference. Destruction of god, birth of devil, white and black are limitless forever. The rebirth field, all bones, and survivors in the impasse. The chaotic city, heaven and earth door, and the immortality is a dream. Gods sigh at human’s plight, rethinking the memories on Naihe bridge. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The dawn come with the shadow.”
Fu Shen suddenly started chanting the lyrics.
His voice got clearer. It was full of charisma. When he said the lyrics, it seemed even nicer than the weird tune Clown sang it to.
Or maybe, these lyics were meant to be said, not sung.
“Now, only ‘Gods sigh at human’s plight, rethinking the memories on Naihe bridge. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The dawn come with the shadow’ are left.”
Ming Shu nodded her head thoughtfully. She didn’t say her opinion.
“Shall we walked forward and take a look?” Fu Shen said, “Can you walk?”
“If I can’t walk, will you find a carraige and carry me?” Ming Shu narrowed her eyes at Fu Shen.
Fu Shen almost didn’t manage to resist his urge to roll his eyes. He breathed deeply two times and calmed down a little. He squatted down and pulled Ming Shu’s hands, lifting her up on his back.
“Let me be your carriage.”
Both of them were wet. Hence, when they touched each other, they could clearly feel the temperature on each other’s body.
Fu Shen felt something soft leaning against him.
He retracted his thoughts and chose a direction to walk in.
Ming Shu laid on his back and bit her compressed biscuit.
She glanced at Fu Shen’s side profile. His face was slightly pale. His wet hair was stuck to his face and water droplets flowed down the side of his face and onto his chin.
“Don’t worry, I am here.” Fu Shen suddenly turned his head and rubbed against her. “Whatever happens, I will be with you.”
“Are you confessing to me?” Ming Shu continued biting her biscuit.
“Do you accept it?”
“There is only one slot in the end. One of us will get eliminated.” Ming Shu said with smiles in her voice, “How will you choose?”
Fu Shen looked back at the front. “I choose you.”
Ming Shu smiled and finished her biscuit. She grabbed his tightly and shoved her face into his neck.
“I am tired. I will sleep for a while.”
Her voice rose slowly.
“Okay.” Fu Shen carried Ming Shu properly and walked more steadily.
Ming Shu didn’t fell asleep. When Fu Shen stopped, she opened her eyes.
They were standing in front of a bridge. The bridge was covered with mist so they could conly see a small part of it.
[Walk onto this bridge and you will win the game. Only one person can stand on this bridge. Please cross the bridge. If no players cross the bridge in five minutes, the bridge will disappear. Countdown starts now-]
The voice of transmigration area spoke when they reached the bridge.
Ming Shu jumped down from Fu Shen’s back. She looked at the bridge. It looked the same as a normal bridge…
Only one person could go up the bridge. This meant that before going on the bridge, there would be another round of killing.
Ming Shu looked at Fu Shen mysteriously. The question she asked just now came true.
Fu Shen touched Ming Shu’s face with his fingers. The warmth that came from his fingers caused him to shiver for a moment.
He held Ming Shu’s face and kissed her on her forehead lightly. “You can go over first. I will think of a way to get out.”
Although you can get eliminated in the transmigration competition, as long as this is not your third time participating and you survived in the game, you could go back after the game ended.
Ming Shu’s smile got shallower. “You are really letting me go?”
“Yes.”
“This is a chance to survive. Are you sure?”
“Yes.” Fu Shen touched her head. “Trust me, I can survive.”
“After I cross this bridge, I might go back to reality and you will never be able to find me again.”
“I will come and find you.” Fu Shen looked into her eyes. His gaze was firmed. “Trust me, okay?”
Ming Shu gazed into his eyes too. Her gaze was like a sharp knife, cutting through his disguist and revealing his true form.
The time passed.
“The world is so big, are you going to look for me in heaven?” Ming Shu suddenly smiled.
Fu Shen: “…”
F**k. I was so sentimental, how is she not touched?
Is she a normal woman?
In a story, the female protagonist would hug the male protagonist at such timings and cried like crazy, right?
Ming Shu didn’t know what Fu Shen was thinking about. She reached out and turned Fu Shen around. She grabbed his neck. “Carry me.”
Fu Shen was stunned. “You…”
“It says that only one person could be on it. You carry me. That will be one person.” Ming Shu interrupted him with disdain. “Hurry up, I don’t want to die here with you.”
Fu Shen: “…”
RIght! Why didn’t I think of it!
It was all because of this idiot. She spoilt his brain.
It is definitely not my fault.
Definitely not!
“Isn’t it a good thing to die with me?” I am so handsome!
“No.”
“…” F**k.
However, Fu Shen didn’t know that when Ming Shu chose to go onto the bridge with him, she was already prepared to die.
[Countdown 10…9…8…]
Fu Shen walked to the bridge. “Which side?”
“You are the mascot. You choose.”
Fu Shen: “…”
[3…2…1…]
