Chapter 486: Random Analysis When in Desperation
Chen Ke and Phantom fought for the 47th time, a battle of equal strength at the end of the world.
They both knew what the other could do and what they would think, and Chen Ke felt like he was punching in front of a mirror.
However, the Phantom might know Lin Mo, but he obviously didn't know Chen Ke. The two used various joint skills to fight, rolling and moving on the sand. Chen Ke locked the Phantom's throat and dragged him to the edge of the cliff.
The Phantom didn't need to breathe and had unlimited physical strength, just like Chen Ke before. So no matter how he fought, Chen Ke would be exhausted by him.
Chen Ke dragged him to the edge of the cliff and looked at the rolling green clouds below, which were exactly the same as the sky.
There was no difference between "heaven" and "earth" here. The Dream Center was like an isolated island, floating in this indescribable space.
That was where the Phantom should be.
Chen Ke used all his strength to throw one of the Phantom's arms behind his back, then kicked him behind the knee, forcing him to kneel down with the weight of his body.
Throughout the whole process, Chen Ke had been carefully controlling his emotions. Even if he had a little bit of murderous intent, it would give his opponent a chance to kill him back.
"This is... your end. Don't let me dream!" Chen Ke roared and kicked Phantom off the cliff.
He stood on the edge of the cliff and watched Phantom being swallowed by the sea of clouds. During the fall, Chen Ke still had the intention to kill, so that Phantom put on the Angele armor again in the air and tried to throw a soul crystal gun at him.
Chen Ke stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, not knowing whether everything was over.
The green clouds rolled, and bursts of white light came from below. There was a dull thunder in the sky, and a force emerged from the bottom of his heart.
Chen Ke's body radiated a white halo, and his eyes could not see the pupils, only a pure white light. He seemed to see something, but he couldn't see it clearly.
Not long after, the abnormality of the body returned to normal, and the life countdown returned to the field of vision, which meant that the ability was restored, but the countdown had reached 0, and he could not use psychic power at all.
Chen Ke reached out and tried, but the Holy Diamond could not be used. However, the Ash of Angele and his black gun could be summoned.
"Are you there?" Chen Ke asked, looking at the gun in his hand.
"This is not a workplace/unscheduled location." The black gun conveyed its meaning.
Well... Chen Ke recalled the gun. It seems that even in the Dream Center, these old gods can still appear. Even in the dream world, gods are unique.
He ran quickly across the circular square, followed the narrow path, and came to the familiar apartment building located on the cliff. That was his home in 2018 before he crossed over.
The 23rd neighborhood, 77th door, No. 16, is the starting point of Chen Ke's 24 years of life.
The community where he lives has no name, but is named after the street, because the entire area is red brick buildings built by the former Soviet Union in the 1970s.
This kind of building is very solid, with only 5 floors, four rooms on each floor, and a corridor facing the outside. Most of the residents are employees of state-owned steel plants.
However, in 2015, this community was renovated as an old city, so it was demolished. Chen Ke also took out a mortgage at that time.
This building stood there abruptly. The corridor was quiet. He even recognized the neighbor's room. In the window on the fourth floor, Chen Ke also saw the Fist of the North Star poster that he had pasted on the window to block the light...
Chen Ke tiptoed upstairs, fearing that he would disturb the non-existent neighbors. When he stood in front of his own door, he remembered that he didn't have the key.
The dark green iron door was only plugged with a bolt, and the wooden door behind it was closed. Chen Ke's home was not equipped with a security door, and dogtail grass used to ward off evil spirits could be seen hanging on the door.
Chen Ke opened the bolt of the iron door and tried to push the wooden door open, but it was locked. He put his face against the door to listen to the movement inside, and could hear the old clock hanging in the living room ticking.
Should I use the Angele Fire to burn the door open?
Chen Ke couldn't make up his mind, but it seemed that this was the only way to do it now. This building was fictionalized based on Chen Ke's memory, and it was the result of the overlap of dreams and memories. Burning through a door should be able to grow back, right?
Gray dust fell from his right hand. Chen Ke put his palm on the keyhole, and the flame burned. It didn't need thousands of degrees. It only took more than 200 degrees to melt the copper lock.
"Hmm..." Chen Ke noticed something was wrong. This door was invincible. The high temperature transmitted by the palm could not affect the wooden door at all. If the temperature was raised, it would only burn his hand.
In this fantasy dream center, Chen Ke would never die. No matter what caused his body to be destroyed, he could always wake up from the cliff path on the other side. Immortality was his curse.
Chen Ke simply put away the flame and sat on the steps in a daze. Everything here was beyond his control and understanding, although theoretically, it belonged to him.
Chen Ke tugged at his brows. Now, apart from being in a daze and sleeping, Chen Ke now has an additional ability, time restart.
This is not what he wants to choose. Whether it is sleeping or restarting, for Chen Ke, the difference is only whether he commits suicide alone or drags the whole world to commit suicide together.
He is not a great man, and he does not have much dedication and sacrifice. If he has the spare energy to do good things without causing losses to himself, Chen Ke is still willing to accept it.
But if he sacrificed himself for the goal of "saving the world", to be honest, Chen Ke had only seen such a thing in movies.
Sleeping means sacrificing himself in exchange for the stable and happy life of all people in the world in dreams, which can be said to be a happy ending. If it were Captain America, he would probably do it.
But is living in a dream still considered living? Just like The Matrix and Inception, do humans need such a future?
However, the foundation requires itself to fulfill the guardian's responsibilities. As long as humans have no possibility of killing gods before 2137, the world will be directly restarted for the 1000th time.
If it is true, this world has already reached 2137...Xu Jing and Lin Yayin came from that year.
Judging from the fact that Xu Jing asked himself to help kill the clan, it seems that this round of humans has not found a way to kill gods. Besides, it's already 2137, so time should have been stuck there...
Chen Ke didn't know what Xu Jing and Lin Yayin wanted to do. He only knew that the Godsmen sect was an organization separated from the H.C.P Foundation, although they called themselves the Human Connection Foundation, and the English abbreviation of the organization was also H.C.P.
When Li Moyang met Chen Ke for the first time, he said to him in Chinese before leaving, "The Godsmen sect is watching you."
This nonsense has now taken on a different meaning as Chen Ke has more information. Lin Yayin is indeed a member of the Godsmen sect, so is Li Moyang? No, Lin Yayin came to 2009 specifically to find Li Moyang for work.
"Hmm... Could it be that Li Moyang was just pretending at the time?" Chen Ke scratched his head, puzzled.
Ah... I can't update three times today... Rurouni Ken 7 is too fun...
