Qi Tongwei is reborn, and he changes his fate by striking the bell

Chapter 189 The Death of Lin Yao!

"What do I want to do?" The masked man sneered and reached out to take off the mask on his face.

A familiar face appeared in front of Qi Tongwei. It was the dead Lin Yao!

"Long time no see, Qi Tongwei." Lin Yao's lips curled up with a playful arc, "Or, should I call you, Player One?"

Qi Tongwei looked at the face in front of him in disbelief. The tenderness and affection in the past were now only cold and mocking. He took a step back and bumped into the metal sphere behind him, which seemed to hit his heart, causing a sharp pain. "Lin Yao? No... Impossible! You have already..."

"I'm dead, right?" Lin Yao said, her tone full of joking, "Died in that 'real world' that you believed in so firmly?"

"Who are you?" Qi Tongwei asked harshly, but his hands couldn't stop shaking. He hoped that all this was just a nightmare.

"Who am I?" Lin Yao sneered, walked to the metal sphere, and gently stroked the cold surface of the sphere with her slender fingers. "I am the creator of this world and the master of your destiny."

When Lin Yao touched the metal sphere, the dim blue light suddenly became dazzling, and countless rays of light emerged on the surface of the sphere, interweaving into a huge three-dimensional image. It was the world that Qi Tongwei was familiar with - the world he fought for, went crazy for, and ultimately destroyed.

"See? Qi Tongwei, this is everything you've tried so hard to get, power, status, women... in the end, it's just a game in our hands." Lin Yao's voice was like a poisonous snake entwining Qi Tongwei's nerves. Every word she uttered was like a sharp blade, tearing apart the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Game? What do you think I am?!" Qi Tongwei roared, and the ambition and anger that had been suppressed in his heart completely exploded at this moment. He was like a beast that was forced into a desperate situation, with bloodshot eyes, staring at Lin Yao, wishing to tear her into pieces.

"Don't get excited, Qi Tongwei, you should thank us." Lin Yao was not afraid at all, but laughed even more wantonly, "If it weren't for us, you would just be a poor boy with a humble background and no hope. It was us who gave you the opportunity, let you experience the taste of power, and let you experience what true desire is."

"Shut up!" Qi Tongwei roared, but scenes from the past emerged uncontrollably in his mind. Those images that once made him feel glorious and satisfied were now like sharp blades, ruthlessly cutting his soul.

"What? Are you angry because I said it right?" Lin Yao's tone was full of sarcasm, "Qi Tongwei, you are full of ambition and desire in your bones. Do you think you have ever really loved anyone? All you love is power, the feeling of being high above and in control of everything!"

Qi Tongwei was silent. Lin Yao's words were like a sharp thorn, piercing the deepest part of his heart, the place he was most reluctant to touch. He once thought that he loved Liang Lu and Chen Yang, but in the end, what he loved most was always only himself, and only that insatiable ambition and desire.

"What do you want?" Qi Tongwei's voice was low and hoarse, like an echo from hell.

"It's simple. Just continue the game." Lin Yao walked up to him, stretched out her index finger and gently lifted his chin, her eyes cold and teasing, "Become the most perfect weapon in our hands, conquer the wider world, and satisfy your endless desires."

Qi Tongwei waved her hand away, took a step back, and said coldly: "What if I say no?"

The smile on Lin Yao's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a bone-chilling chill: "Qi Tongwei, don't forget, you are just a player, and we are the gods who make the rules. Disobey, then die."

In the huge metal room, the cold sound of mechanical operation and the flickering blue light interweave into a strange scene, foreshadowing that a more cruel game is about to begin. And Qi Tongwei, a man who once struggled in the vortex of power, once again stood at the crossroads of fate. This time, what choice will he make?

Qi Tongwei laughed, his laughter full of bitterness and sarcasm. "Game? When has my life not been a game? It's just that I played with others before, and now it's my turn."

He slowly raised his head and looked into Lin Yao's cold eyes, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes. "You want me to be your weapon? Sure, but I want to know who I am."

"You want an answer?" Lin Yao raised her eyebrows, seeming to be amused by Qi Tongwei's transformation. "I can give it to you, but are you sure you can bear it?"

"Stop talking nonsense and speak!" Qi Tongwei growled impatiently.

Lin Yao smiled, walked to the metal sphere, waved her slender hand, and pictures appeared on the sphere. They were scenes that Qi Tongwei had never seen before.

The towering steel forest, the bizarre virtual world, the cold and ruthless mechanical robots...one after another flashed by, impacting Qi Tongwei's cognition and making him feel dizzy.

"This world is no longer the one you are familiar with." Lin Yao's voice echoed in the metal room. "The rapid development of science and technology has given humans unprecedented power, but it has also opened Pandora's box."

The picture is fixed on a magnificent building, which is a huge golden

The spire of the tower reaches straight into the sky, emitting a dazzling golden light.

"This is 'The Garden of Eden', a virtual world jointly created by the world's top technology giants. It is also the last refuge for mankind." Lin Yao's tone was filled with a barely perceptible sarcasm. "In this world, you can have everything you want, power, wealth, women... even eternal life."

"Eternal life?" Qi Tongwei's pupils suddenly shrank. This word deeply touched his deepest desire.

"Yes, eternal life." Lin Yao nodded, "But the price is to give up your body and upload your consciousness to the 'Garden of Eden' to become part of the data."

"And you, Qi Tongwei, are the experimental subject we chose to create the perfect leader of 'Garden of Eden'." Lin Yao walked up to Qi Tongwei and stared at him with burning eyes. "Your ambition, your desire, your cold-bloodedness, are all the qualities we need."

"Experimental subject?" Qi Tongwei muttered to himself, countless fragments of memory tumbling in his mind. Those scenes that he had deliberately forgotten now appeared before his eyes extremely clearly.

He thought of his humble origins, how he had done whatever it took to climb the ladder, and how he had betrayed and sold out time and time again...

"Do you think you are really Qi Tongwei?" Lin Yao's voice echoed in his ears like a devil's whisper, "You are just a puppet we created, a container that carries our will!"

Qi Tongwei's body began to tremble violently. He couldn't accept this fact, but he was powerless to refute it.

"No! I'm not a puppet! I'm Qi Tongwei! My fate is in my own hands!" He suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of madness and despair.

"Really? Then look at what this is?" Lin Yao sneered and snapped her fingers.

A crack suddenly appeared on the metal wall, and a huge metal box slowly rose up. The box opened, revealing the person inside.

It turned out to be Liang Lu!

Her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and her body was full of various tubes. She lay there like a vegetable.

"What did you do to her!" Qi Tongwei's eyes were bloodshot and he rushed towards the metal box, but was bounced back by an invisible barrier.

"She? She's just a small gift we prepared for you." Lin Yao said nonchalantly, "If you listen to me, I can let her live forever in the Garden of Eden and enjoy supreme wealth and glory."

"But if you dare to disobey us..." Lin Yao paused, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I will make her live a life worse than death!"

Qi Tongwei was like a wild animal that was cornered. His chest was heaving violently, and his anger was about to burst out of his eyes. He stared at Lin Yao intently, squeezing out words from his teeth: "Do you think I will be threatened by you?"

Lin Yao smiled noncommittally. The corners of her mouth, painted with bright red lipstick, looked particularly dazzling under the pale light, as if she was mocking Qi Tongwei's helplessness. "Qi Tongwei, you should understand that in this world, no one can resist the Garden of Eden. You are no exception."

"The Garden of Eden? It's just the fantasy of a bunch of lunatics!" Qi Tongwei turned around and punched the metal wall with a dull thud. His former ambitions and aspirations seemed so ridiculous in this cold metal room.

"Mad man? No, Qi Tongwei, we are the saviors of this world." Lin Yao walked to Liang Lu's hibernation capsule, and gently stroked the cold metal shell with her slender fingers. "This world is already terminally ill. Only the 'Garden of Eden' can save mankind, and you will become the king who leads mankind to a new world."

"Fuck your savior! Fuck your new world!" Qi Tongwei could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He rushed towards Lin Yao like a mad bull.

However, before he could get close, the hibernation capsule behind Lin Yao suddenly opened, and a pale hand stretched out, grabbed Qi Tongwei's neck and lifted him up high.

"Liang Lu?!" Qi Tongwei looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief. Her eyes were empty and lifeless, her face was pale, and her originally jet-black hair had turned dry and frizzy, like a walking corpse.

"Let him go!" Qi Tongwei roared and struggled desperately, but Liang Lu's hand was like an iron clamp, preventing him from moving.

"Look, this is the fate of defying us." Lin Yao's voice echoed in the empty metal room, with a hint of cruel pleasure, "Qi Tongwei, you'd better think clearly, do you choose to surrender, or choose to become a soulless puppet like her?"

Qi Tongwei felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He looked at the familiar body in front of him, but it felt so strange. The woman who was once gentle and considerate, and who would do anything for him, has now become a half-human, half-ghost.
