Chen Xiaolian slowly opened his eyes, and the first thought that came to his mind was - am I still alive?

He sat up quickly and looked down at his body.

There is no missing arms and legs, and even the sword in the stone is still in his own hands.

Below is a piece of green grass, surrounded by endless void.

I...returned to Room Zero?

Chen Xiaolian slowly stood up, feeling shocked and confused.

Du Wei clearly said that starting the refresh of the singularity will cost the price of life!

But now, I am still alive.

Everything I just experienced...is it just a dream?

"Don't doubt it, this is not a dream."

Du Wei's voice sounded behind him.

Chen Xiaolian suddenly turned around and saw Du Wei behind him.

But his expression was ugly.

Even after Bai Qi appeared before, Du Wei was just a little impatient, but now, the calm smile before has disappeared.

"Refresh...failed?" Chen Xiaolian asked with a frown.

"No." Du Wei thought for a while and shook his head slowly: "But it was not completely successful. At the last moment, the development team noticed the refresh and forced it to terminate it. You saved your life."

"What about the people in City Zero? How are they?" Chen Xiaolian interrupted Du Wei's words.

"Almost everything has returned to its original state. The killing caused by Bai Qi has been erased from the timeline, those people have been reset, and the memories of that period just now no longer exist. For them, everything is still at the time node where the system has just stopped responding." Du Wei said slowly: "As for Bai Qi, he should have changed back to your war soul now."

Chen Xiaolian checked his personal system and Bai Qi did return to his own system, showing his state of war soul: "Then what will happen to him... in the future?"

"As long as you don't let it go here, you'll be fine." Du Wei's answer made Chen Xiaolian feel relieved: "Room Zero is the most special place in Zero City. If the Palace of Eternal Life is the power room of Zero City, then this is its bridge. Although Bai Qi had never obtained the authority to cross Zero City before, we left a place for him. It was this that allowed him to temporarily break free from the constraints of the system, restore his mind, and liberate his own power again. Well... part of the power. I think you shouldn't be stupid again, let it go here again."

Chen Xiaolian thought for a moment: "I understand. Since everything is fine, what's wrong?"

"That command." Du Wei sighed heavily: "The command you issued to open all external channels has not been refreshed back to the initial state. I think when you opened the channel, the development team had noticed that the entrance to Zero City was opened. They did not care about everything else, but in any case, they must ensure that Zero City was destroyed."

"Then now..."

"Now, I think the electronic guards are already gathering. And that man..." Du Wei's expression was strange, a bit like laughing, and a bit like helplessness: "He won't miss this opportunity."

"Chen?" Chen Xiaolian nodded: "I remember you told Bai Qi just now that when you gave up Zero City, everyone wanted to monopolize the singularity, but no one had the ability to monopolize it, so they could only leave it in Zero City. So now..."

"You guessed it right." Du Wei nodded slowly: "He already...has the ability to occupy the singularity."

"What would happen if he was allowed to get the singularity?" Chen Xiaolian frowned.

"I don't know." Du Wei shook his head: "But one thing is certain that what he wants is different from us. Our ultimate pursuit is just to be able to completely escape from the constraints of the system. But he..."

Du Wei thought for a while: "He and us are not the same... species."

"I understand." Chen Xiaolian nodded: "No matter whether it is a loophole or an awakened person, they are all people in this world. What they want is nothing more than not being a slave to the system. But I can't understand what he wants as a player?"

Du Wei looked at Chen Xiaolian, and after a while, he suddenly laughed: "No, he is not a player either."

"What do you mean?" Chen Xiaolian widened his eyes and his scalp became a little numb.

Chen is the leader of the Thorn Flower Group, which is something that all the awakened worlds know.

How could a team leader of a player team not be a player?

Or...if it wasn't for the player, what would he be?

"He was one of our companions back then. If he was really a player, how could we build Zero City with him?" Du Wei sneered: "At that time, we always thought he was a loophole. He always acted like a loophole. For example... after he killed the player or the awakened one, he would also drop metal balls. He did a good job that no one at that time realized that he was actually an alien."

"So...what is he!" Chen Xiaolian clenched his fists.

"He is...gm." Du Wei looked at Chen Xiaolian and whispered: "The first generation, and every gm behind each gm is different."

"Different?" Chen Xiaolian frowned: "What does this mean?"

"I don't mind telling you. But do you really have time to listen?" Du Wei shook his head.

"Damn it!" Chen Xiaolian patted his thighs heavily before reacting.

The refresh just now was blocked by the development team. Although he survived, the command to open the external channel still exists and cannot be revoked.

"There is no way to stop the upcoming invasion now." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "According to my guess, the system should have released a mission now and organize players to capture Zero City. And Chen... must be on the way to prepare for the invasion. Everything we did just now seems to be a useless effort."

"No... it's not useless." Chen Xiaolian gritted his teeth: "At least they are still resurrected! As long as they are alive, there is still hope! You can escape from Zero City before the invaders arrive."

"Do you really think they may listen to you?" Du Wei raised his eyebrows: "How much benefit have those teams gained in Zero City over the years? Now, just relying on your empty words, you can make them give up? Do you think you have this prestige?"

Chen Xiaolian was silent.

"In addition, you can't keep all the memories that happened just now." Du Wei's next sentence shocked Chen Xiaolian.

"Why?"

"Because... you can't let Chen know that you have permission. Otherwise, he will definitely try to get it from you. If Chen wants to catch you, then you will definitely be caught by him. Unless... he thinks you are an unimportant and neglected target." Du Wei's expression was very serious: "And the best way to prevent a person from leaking secrets is to let him completely forget it himself."

"Why did he get permission from me?" Chen Xiaolian was confused: "He is one of the founders of Zero City, and he should have had this permission long ago!"

"His permission has been deleted. Although the seats are still retained." Du Wei turned his head and glanced at the stone slabs and seats behind him: "Otherwise, how could he have been blocked outside of Zero City for so many years?"

Seeing Chen Xiaolian still wanting to ask, Du Wei shook his head: "If you really plan to save those people in City Zero again, then you shouldn't continue chatting with me here."

"The last thing." Chen Xiaolian gritted his teeth: "You said before that if it was normal death, I could see the dead loophole, right?"

"Yes." Du Wei nodded: "But you don't want to buy just one-way ticket, right?"

"What do I need to do if I want to bring people back?"

Du Wei smiled and said, "Even if I told you now, can you remember?"

But he then said, "Don't worry. If you can really escape from Zero City, I will let other people you trust tell you what to do."

"who?"

"Mr. Umbrella."

"Okay." Chen Xiaolian nodded: "How should I delete my memory?"

"Zero will help you do it. All you have to do is issue orders to him." Du Wei closed his eyes and opened it for a moment: "I promise, when we meet again, I will tell you what you want to know."

"everything?"

"Everything." Du Wei nodded: "Now, order Zero City to delete your memory and try to save the people in Zero City. Then... it depends on your luck. If you can escape from Chen's hands, then we will have another day of meeting."

"Okay." Chen Xiaolian sighed: "I hope you are not lying to me for all this, and I hope you can keep your promise.

Zero City! After I found my location, I deleted all my memories! Then I sent it back to the room where I was. And...

Do whatever possible to prevent Chen from getting your permission!”

"Accept the command, is being executed."
