There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 360: Chapter 308: Gleaming Star Level Title ‘Peace Envoy’! (Extra 10,000-word mega chapter)_2

The bearded man seemed to summon his courage, his eyes filled with a deathly resolve as he bellowed in fear, “Don’t try to scare me, I’m not afraid of you. I know that you players entering this map have no abilities; all your powers are restricted. You’re just like the most ordinary citizens; anyone can easily kill you.”

“This world has already been rebooted 98 times!”

“Every time new players come and go, this world is rebooted, and it’s as if nothing has ever happened, just like before.”

“Everyone’s memory will be erased!”

“Except for me!”

“Only I know what the truth of this world is: we’re all just NPCs in a game, our memories aren’t real at all, our memories have been altered!”

“You think I don’t wish for world peace?”

“But even if you make the world peaceful now, what does it matter? After you leave, this world will be rebooted again, and everything will be as it was at the beginning, unchanged. At that time, everyone will lose these memories, and only I will remember this!”

“But I don’t want to live on aimlessly any longer.”

“I’m fed up with living in such a virtual world; I have my own thoughts, my own way of thinking, I can decide my actions; I’m a real person!”

“Kill me!”

“I’ve longed for death. Living in such a virtual world is a painful thing. What is the point of existence in a world that’s continuously rebooted? You players never care about our life or death. After you complete your missions and leave, who will care for us?”

It was like a roar before death.

The man roared with all his might, his face twisted as if he was extremely angry at his own existence.

Chen Yi looked calmly at the man before him without speaking. This man must be the bug in the map. He had also just learned that the map would be rebooted when the players left.

From this perspective, his prolonged stay in the map no longer seemed meaningful.

With every reboot, this man’s memory was not erased.

He could understand this feeling.

Any normal person living in such a world would collapse and start questioning the reality of their world.

He could have simply ordered the execution of these few hundred people, including the bearded one before him.

But after a moment of silence, he suddenly took another step forward, speaking softly.

“Perhaps the truth is indeed as you believe.”

“But does that matter?”

“I still have a day before I leave. Maybe you can at least enjoy one day of peace, can’t you?”

“Put down your weapons.”

“I don’t want to escalate the killing any further; enjoy this last day of peace.”

“I…”

The bearded man, whose face was originally fierce, halted in place when he heard what Chen Yi had to say, and after a moment, he fell to his knees in front of Chen Yi, his voice trembling with a sob.

“Teacher… I want to leave this world.”

“Can you take me with you?”

“I can accept death, but I want to live in the real world, not in this fake one that could be rebooted at any moment. Even in death, I want to experience real death.”@@novelbin@@

“I don’t want to be an NPC; I want to be like you players… can I?”

“…”

Chen Yi calmly raised his hand and gently stroked the bearded man’s head, then after a moment spoke, “I don’t have that power, but perhaps in the future, you might have that direction.”

“Your planet is different from others.”

“You are more real.”

“Now get up, at least enjoy a day of peace, right?”

The bearded man gave a bitter laugh, took out a pistol from his bosom, opened the trigger, and pressed it against his temple in despair.

“You don’t understand me at all.”

“I’m not afraid of death.”

“I just don’t want to live in this fake world anymore. Why do you think I’ve been stubbornly resisting?”

“Is it because I’m naturally brutal?”

“No, it’s because I know that after enjoying this day of peace, every day after the world restarts, I’ll be in agony. They will all lose their memories, but not I; only I will remember everything.”

“If I am offered a day of light only to fall eternally into darkness, I’d rather not see that day of light.”

“When the ending of a story is tragic, there’s no point in starting the story at all.”

“Death?”

“I’ve been wanting to die. If it wasn’t for confessing to Liu Yue down the street 98 times without success, hoping to try for the 99th time, I would’ve died long ago. Now it seems that after 98 failures, there’s no need to try for the 99th.”

As his voice faded away.

“Bang.”

The bearded man forcefully pulled the trigger.

His gaze rapidly fading as he fell into a pool of blood.

Following the suicide of the bearded man, his subordinates lost their pillar and one by one laid down their weapons and knelt in surrender.

As Wang Zhongyi and the others surged forward.

It signified that the last resistance force on Rogue Star had been conquered, and the entire world was completely restored to peace.

The crowd was noisy.

Countless Centaurs shuttled back and forth around Chen Yi.

Standing in the midst of the noisy crowd, Chen Yi silently gazed at the body of the bearded man on the ground, his expression calm and speechless.

NPCs no longer wanting to be NPCs.

But who knew that they, too, no longer wanted to be players.
