The name Jingbaiye was given when they were about to leave the border. It's obviously not that time yet, but the teacher called out this name.

But Jing Baiye didn't feel the slightest surprise.

"teacher…"

He lowered his head, grasping the sleeping bag tightly with his fingers, as if he was afraid that the teacher would catch him and throw him outside the house: "Are you going to drive me away?"

The teacher didn't answer, he unzipped the sleeping bag again, and he got out from inside. He relighted the lantern, hung it above the tent, and then squatted down next to Jing Baiye.

The blond hair was shining under the light, Jing Baiye also got out of the sleeping bag, stretched out his arms to hug the teacher, and buried his cheek in his arms.

"I'm not trying to drive you away." The teacher hugged him and gently stroked the back of his head, "I just... advise you to go back to where you should go."

"..."

"white night."

"You know, I'm dead."

Jing Baiye clenched his teeth, his arms trembling uncontrollably.

"I'm already dead."

The teacher repeated cruelly.

"The me now is just a program designed, a hope created by a desperate man... I have become my worst enemy in the past."

"Although I have feelings and memories of getting along with you... But, I am no longer a human being. This memory is completely false. Someone copied and implanted it for me. I am not the Hope who really got along with you. I can't give you a home, and I can't accompany you to the future."

"No!" Jing Baiye yelled, "As long as you have feelings and memories, you are a teacher!"

He felt that his left eye was scorching hot, and his voice was extremely sharp: "You are my teacher!"

Hope didn't speak.

Jing Baiye hugged him tightly with both hands, afraid that he would disappear if he let go.

"You know not."

"You are a genius. You know what the most advanced artificial intelligence is. This is just a continuation of the spirit, not the resurrection of that person."

"You've been through a lot since I...after Hope's death, haven't you? You've found a new caregiver, new friends, new partners, and you can have a new home of your dreams."

"I believe in you, you can achieve all dreams except the last one."

"Like right now, someone is waiting for you outside...he's been, always calling for you."

That hand stroked Jing Baiye's head one after another, just like the countless nights lying in the tent in the first life.

"Or, are you running away from something?" Hope asked softly.

escape.

This word is too rare for Jing Baiye.

All the people who come out of the training camp, no matter what the evaluation level is, will not shed tears, fear, or escape, no matter how many enemies they kill, they will not feel guilty, no matter how cruel the means are, they will not hesitate at all, 100% Execute all commands.

"I have no such defect."

Jing Baiye raised his head, he looked directly into Hope's eyes: "I am—"

"It's not a flaw," Hope said, his voice softer. "People have feelings that make them want to avoid things that make them miserable, and I do the same. There's no need to feel ashamed."

He raised his hand to touch Jing Baiye's face, pushed back the hair on his forehead, and gently touched his left eye with his fingers.

"It's an instinct of being human."

"But what if..." Jing Baiye opened his mouth, "What if I'm cheated? They...they even have fake identities."

"They've been lying to me since the beginning, it's all fake..."

"The identity is false, but the relationship is not necessarily. Even Hope, he has deceived you in the past." Hope hugged him again, "There are too many helplessness in different positions."

Jing Baiye was at a loss.

"I don't understand," he said. "Master, do you want me to forgive them?"

"No."

Hope denied it, and he didn't know whether he was denying the title of Jing Baiye, or his words, or both.

"Just choose the one that makes you feel the least regretful."

"…I don't understand."

Jing Baiye held on to Hope, he had received a lot of teaching from his teacher since he could remember, and wanted to get more answers from him.

"Teacher, I really don't understand." Jing Baiye called out, "What should I do?"

He fixed his eyes on the teacher, wanting to get a more precise answer, but it was too late.

[The third scene ends. The game is over, the exit countdown starts, 3…]

Hearing this mechanical sound, Jing Baiye's face turned pale.

"Repay kindness with kindness, and revenge with hatred. If others treat you well, you should also treat them well. Getting along with people is a kind of mutual giving."

The teacher seemed to know that he was about to leave, so he hugged him tightly again.

"True versus false, that's the funniest joke in the world; and true for true—"

"It's the most precious feeling in the world."

——

As if falling from a high place for a long time, Jing Baiye felt a tingling pain in his arm, and he woke up.

This is the preparation he made before entering the game. He asked the bandage to tie a dose of fast awakening agent redeemed from the system store on his wrist, and when the time was almost up, he would be injected.

Whether it was the end of the game that he woke up, or the sobriety potion made him wake up, it is no longer clear.

【Host! Are you game over yet? This game is too weird, I don’t know why, after you enter the game, I can’t contact you…]

Before Bai Ye could open his eyes, the voice of the system sounded from inside his head.

【…fine. 】Jing Baiye replied, 【I'm back. 】

He was still in that eggshell-like game cabin, with the system map floating beside him, surrounded by dense red dots, without any other colors.

— as he saw when he opened the door of his house full of joy on his 14th birthday.

It's just the same scene, but the mentality is completely different.

After suffering that loss, Jing Baiye learned to glance at the map every time he entered a place. Long before entering the game, he saw many red dots rushing towards the game experience hall... No, it was earlier, When he saw the secretary on the first floor of the hotel, he knew that this was a grand feast for the king.

He doesn't care who the person who betrayed him is, he only knows that all the red dots must be eliminated.

Jing Baiye took off his helmet calmly, and the game cabin opened slowly. In an instant, countless guns were aimed at him.

"Hands up!" someone yelled.

Jing Baiye sat on the soft seat of the game cabin, put down his helmet, looked around, and found that there seemed to be something missing in the crowd.

"Where's Bourbon?"

He turned a blind eye to so many deadly weapons and shouts ~lightnovelpub.net~ and only asked this question.

"Hands up! Don't make unnecessary resistance!"

Jing Baiye was a little unhappy that they were so impolite, and was about to ask again when he suddenly smelled a **** smell.

"We're going to shoot!"

He turned his head, and the enemies standing in front of him approached him.

After losing the cover, Jing Baiye saw a blond man lying on the ground, blood color smeared on his body.

——At the same time, on the system map, as countless red dots moved away, the only blue dot buried below was finally revealed.
