Pursuit

"I…"

"I'm not dead?"

In Qin Xiaoyou's mind, two sets of memory images intertwined, giving her a splitting headache.

But after realizing that she didn't seem to be dead yet, she felt overjoyed.

"Am I really going to be reborn?"

Her heart grew incomparably excited.

She discovered that of the two sets of memory images in her mind, one depicted her experiences in this life…

At the same time, her originally blurry memories were also becoming clear.

Memory images from both her past life and this life surfaced simultaneously.

Comparing before her eyes!

Back when God Forsaken Game had just descended…

In this life, Qin Feng hadn't paid any attention to her at all, not even sending her a single message.

In her past life, Qin Feng had taken the initiative to find her at school, apologized to her, and coaxed her into returning home with him.

"That's what a man should do!"

"The current Qin Feng is way too petty. Besides, he was reborn and became Shadow. Just a word from him could've let me live comfortably, yet he ignored me… Heartless!"

…

In this life, she drifted all alone in God Forsaken Game.

She had no one to rely on, developed poorly in the game, and in reality, was scammed out of her house, having both her legs sawed off…

But in her memories of her past life…

She had Qin Feng protecting her from start to finish!

The scenes in her memories made her feel as if she were there, filling her with intense envy.

Of course, in those scenes, she was still extremely obnoxious. Although Qin Feng protected her, no matter what he did, she would constantly despise him, compare him to others, and always preach about wanting freedom…

"But it seems Qin Feng didn't really restrict me much either; he just didn't let me team up with bad people…"

Qin Xiaoyou dazed for a moment.

It was only now, as her memories grew clear, that she truly realized it.

Compared to this life, she was clearly much happier in her past life!

One could say she basically had no troubles at all.

Any troubles about lacking freedom were entirely brought upon by her own stubborn drama.

"If Qin Feng had protected me like in my past life, I wouldn't have been caught by bad people…"

"It's all Qin Feng's fault!"

Recalling facing the chainsaw murderer, Qin Xiaoyou's memory was still vivid!

And now as she recalled…

The one who saved her from the chainsaw maniac back then seemed to be a female assassin named 'Gui Ling'?

This was news she heard later from the Government.

And she also heard that this Gui Ling was very close to Shadow and was well cared for by him.

"He didn't care for me, but went to care for another girl instead?"

"Qin Feng, are you even human?"

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyou felt not a shred of gratitude toward Gui Ling, her savior. Instead, she felt mockingly bitter, viewing her as someone who stole her brother away!

"Qin Feng, you made her come save me, right?"

"You still care about me…"

"But why didn't you care about me at the very end?"

The hatred in Qin Xiaoyou's heart grew stronger and stronger.

And as the memory images continued…

Qin Xiaoyou also learned…

In her past life, Gui Ling was actually a 'criminal' who had made a 'mistake' and was hunted by the Great Xia Government!

At this point, Qin Xiaoyou's mindset began to shift.

The detailed memories from her past life reawakened her past feelings, personality, and thoughts!

As she viewed the memories of her past life through the lens of this life…

She also began to view her experiences in this life through the lens of her past life.

Two lives of experiences, two lives of memories…

Gradually merged into one!

"The memories are clear now."

"I'm… back."

Qin Xiaoyou's mood gradually grew cold and calm.

Although the memory merging wasn't complete yet, she knew the final outcome of her past life was that she gouged out Qin Feng's eyes…

Yet she still felt no remorse.

She felt that Qin Feng had brought it all on himself.

"Why did you stop Brother Song Fei and me?"

"If you hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't have gouged out your eyes…"

"I was merely pursuing my own love and freedom; what did I do wrong?"

From the perspective of her past life, she gradually reviewed the memories of this life!

Song Fei's death.

Severing ties with Qin Feng.

Qian Shishi's death.

Hu Qibin's death.

Even…

She noticed the 'Nightmare Hell Flower' incident. In her past life, Great Xia was clearly screwed over by the North American diplomat 'Theodore', but in this life, they executed a perfect counter-kill, and Shadow even secured the first kill of the Nightmare Hell Flower.

"Qin Feng, you were reborn."

"You took off on your own and abandoned me?"

Qin Xiaoyou sneered inwardly: "If you had carried me under the identity of Shadow, I might have still recognized you as my brother, but now…"

As her memories began to merge…

She didn't know where she was.

But she felt eager to act, possessing a hunch that she might be about to be reborn again!

"Qin Feng, this time I'll be reborn with my memories. I won't give you the chance to abandon me."

"I will apologize on my own initiative…"

"This time, it will be my stage!"

Qin Xiaoyou couldn't help thinking.

But as the memory merging continued, she had an ominous premonition.

Because…

She hadn't seen yet what happened… after she gave Qin Feng's eyeballs to Song Fei.

"I must have lived happily ever after with Brother Song Fei…"

Qin Xiaoyou thought to herself.

But deep down, her fear grew stronger and stronger.

She was afraid that things hadn't developed the way she imagined…

"Impossible."

"Brother Song Fei would definitely take care of me. He said he liked me for a long time…"

"I believe in him."

"In another life, I will definitely protect my Brother Song Fei."

She believed, she firmly believed, she looked forward to it.

She wanted to see the memory images of her and Song Fei living happily together; only then could it prove her choice was right.

Otherwise, wouldn't she be a clown for killing Qin Feng with her own hands when he had taken care of and protected her?

"I can never be a clown!"

…

At this moment.

Great Xia Game Zone, Magic City Ruins, outside the Tower of Divine Authority.

Outside the Tower of Divine Authority where Moon Deficient Queen · Virginie was located, there was already a sea of people.

Especially over the past two days, more and more people arrived, because someone finally discovered that shouting 'Mom' inside the Tower of Divine Authority could actually yield the Book of Divine Empowerment for free!

But here came the catch.

This option could only be triggered when a man and a woman entered together.

And for many players, this was definitely a tough challenge.

Because to obtain the authorization to purchase the Book of Divine Empowerment, one had to kill the Gold-grade clone of Moon Deficient Queen.

Relying on just one man and one woman to kill a Golden-level BOSS put high demands on players' individual strength!

At the current stage, quite a few players in Magic City could do this, but most had already obtained the Book of Divine Empowerment and naturally had no need to do it again.

Using that time to grind monsters and level up yielded much higher returns.

Of course…

There were also many strong players who chose to carry people here for a high fee; as long as the fee was cheaper than buying the Book of Divine Empowerment normally, people would pay…

Amidst this noisy clamor of voices…

A giant Bone Sword Wyvern over twenty meters long dropped like a whirlwind right at the entrance of the Tower of Divine Authority!

This scene made everyone around drop what they were doing.

One by one, they looked over with shock and uncertainty.
