Chapter 87: Chapter 52: Tear Duct Collapse, the Audience is Stunned by the Blade! (Please Subscribe!)_4

"You might as well say there’s an old Deng hiding in the shadows, painting murals at the speed of light, secretly watching Yin the whole time, than to talk about distorting space-time... that sounds more credible..."

"Hiss, so what the heck is the ending?! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get to the top of Sacred Mountain!"

From the audience’s indifferent attitude at the beginning of the game to their vivid emotional reversal as the game neared its end, the sentiment in the chat had dramatically shifted.

Curiosity had been thoroughly aroused; it was already two o’clock in the morning, yet the fervor in Yin’s live stream chat was growing more intense, as everyone spontaneously joined in the discussion, speculating about the game’s ending.

Not only was the audience anxious, but Yin was too.

Having come this far, his level of emotional involvement was stronger than anyone else’s, and he was more eager than anyone to know the answer.

A game of an artistic nature had successfully stimulated everyone’s curiosity by its conclusion.

Enough to demonstrate that, even though its narrative was fragmented, it was still outstanding and captivating.

Soon, the elevator made a ’click’ sound as it locked into place.

The two little red-robed figures had finally reached the exit at the top.

Looking out,

The whirlwind of snow had passed, the narrow mountain path was covered in thick white snow, with violent winds howling and roaring.

The tone of the entire scene was set in grayscale, a hazy expanse.

It was even darker than the endless sands that greeted the protagonist at the beginning of the game.

But pushing one’s gaze forward,

One could see that amidst the bitter winds and heavy snow, the faintly outlined silhouette of Sacred Mountain was right before their eyes!

Right now, amidst the gaps at its peak, there were still meteors slowly bursting out, one after another, their destinations unknown.

Yin had barely taken two steps towards the exit.

The red robe instantly frosted over with white frost, and he could clearly feel the character’s movement slowing down.

And what was worse,

The scarf at the back would freeze into pieces of ice due to the extreme cold, the energy within the scarf was sealed off, and the little red robe would lose the ability to fly and jump, only able to move forward on foot.

However, since they’d stumbled all the way here,

There was no reason to turn back now.

Taking a deep breath, although unable to communicate with the NPC,

Yin still said earnestly,

"Little brother, are you ready? We’re about to approach the truth!"

The other, as if by telepathy, sent out several short beeps in response.

"Then let’s charge!!" As soon as he uttered these words, Yin pressed the directional key.

The controlled character Hei began to head towards the only mountain path leading to Sacred Mountain.

Initially, the mountain path was fairly smooth, and every few steps there were stone stumps, which were windbreakers sheltering frozen red ribbons.

This was a place for players to rest. When the character approached the red ribbon, it would activate its frost, quickly replenishing the character’s energy.

But as they continued to approach the summit,

The blizzard grew fiercer; swathes of grayish white blanketed the screen, making it nearly impossible to discern any direction.

Even the guiding light that Sacred Mountain had been emitting, leading them onward, was nowhere to be seen.

They had no choice but to desperately look up at the sky, relying on the direction of the bursting meteors to deduce the exact location of the summit.

And even more distressing was the lack of ribbons to replenish energy this time.

Looking ahead, there were no signs of stone stumps.

There was only a pathway covered in white snow.

Just like the scene at the beginning, here, too, tombstones stood erect.

Whether it was a deliberate move by the designer or just an addition to the detail and action,

At this moment, the two little red-robed figures shivering in the cold wind looked pitiful and helpless.

They stuck close to each other, cuddling for warmth, supporting each other as they moved forward.

But the short beeps they emitted were getting weaker and weaker.

Until five minutes later.

The energy in the younger brother’s scarf had been completely depleted, and the extremely cold temperature even started to shorten the length of the scarf!

A shorter scarf was a sign that the breath of life was ebbing away.

Seeing this heart-wrenching scene, many viewers felt uncomfortable.

After more than two hours of live streaming, they had witnessed the adorable antics of this endearingly clumsy NPC.

They saw the little brother’s initial confusion, his struggle with flying, and his eventual command after several falls.

They saw him obediently standing still waiting for Yin when he was off searching for hidden QR codes around the map.

They watched them soar freely, dancing above the pink sea, accompanied by swans.

They also witnessed them racing down the golden sandcastles, exhilaratingly swift yet graceful.

When they fell into deep pits, he waited over ten minutes carefully just to let Yin know there was another hidden QR code.

Dodging the giant snake, he broke out into perfectly synchronized cooperation with Yin.

The two swam in the energy towers, sending out short beeps for some unintelligible communication, yet they seemed very happy with each other.

And now, just a few steps away, was the summit,

But each step was a struggle, with the length of the energy scarf behind growing shorter and shorter, the frost seemingly enveloping its entire body, slowing his movement more and more.

"Damn! Little brother, hang in there! We’re almost at the summit!"

"We’ve come all this way, we can’t just fall here..."

"Please! I want both of you to make it to the summit safe and sound! I feel like crying now... what should I do, woo..."
