Game of the World Tree - Chapter 993

993. Chapter 984 Extra Chapter 4 The Last Player (Part 1)

Every game has its end.

Li Mu knew this truth very well from the beginning.

However, although he clearly knew the power of time, he would still feel lonely after watching his former teammates leave one by one, the shining avatars in the friend column became fewer and fewer, and the world channel became more and more deserted.

Until… the day when all the avatars turned gray.

From that day on, he logged into “Elf Kingdom” less and less frequently.

It was not only because his physical condition was getting worse and worse, and he could no longer support sneaking.

It was also because he was getting more and more lonely.

The more lonely and lonely he was, the more he wanted to log into the game to escape reality.

And the more he could not see those familiar figures in the game, the more lonely and lonely he felt…

So, he even began to avoid “Elf Kingdom”.

“Grandpa Li, you forgot to pick up the newspaper you ordered!”

A crisp knock on the door came from outside the door, waking Li Mu from his memories.

He stood up from the recliner and looked at his old self in the mirror, his eyes slightly dazed.

“It’s been more than 40 years…”

With a long sigh, he put his hands behind his back, tremblingly walked out of his residence, opened the mailbox and took out the newspaper.

Newspapers are really old and tenacious.

So many years have passed, and we have entered the paperless era, but it still exists firmly and stubbornly.

Li Mu never read this kind of antique before.

When did he start subscribing?

Oh…

he remembered.

It should be when his old friend Xiao Xian Miao was finally gone…

The long time in the game made him think that he would have eternal youth.

However, the cruel reality is that, unknowingly, he has become old and stubborn like the newspaper in his hand…

Abandoned by the times, forgotten by the years, he can only struggle alone in the corner and linger.

Li Mu sighed and looked up at the sky.

The sun was bright and shining, and the floating cars staggered past, with their taillights flashing, galloping between the high-rise buildings.

In the lush sky garden, the trees are luxuriant and the flowers are in full bloom. You can see adults playing happily with their children and hear their happy laughter.

This is the best era.

Technology is advanced, people are happy, and everything is peaceful and prosperous.

However, Li Mu feels that he is out of tune with this world.

The bustle belongs to others.

But not to him.

The people he knew are gone one by one.

The familiar voices are gone one by one.

Decades of time passed like clouds and smoke. When he finally came to his senses, he was left alone without knowing it.

Time has never stopped its pace.

But he still lives in the past.

He dedicated everything to “Elf Kingdom”.

He couldn’t tell whether he was the elf Li Mu or the human Li Mu… He

coughed violently a few times, and the tissue in his hand was stained with blood.

Li Mu couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

The human body… is really a fragile existence.

It is completely different from the elves.

It can’t withstand the baptism of time, nor can it resist the arrival of illness.

But he didn’t care anymore.

Since the last friend left the Elf Kingdom forever, he was already dead in reality.

Now he is just a walking shell.

This is a beautiful era.

But it is not his era.

His era will always remain in the Elf Kingdom.

His youth, his memories, all his good times.

It’s all there.

He turned back to his room and closed the door.

The hustle and bustle of the outside world was also cut off.

It was like two different worlds.

Everything returned to peace, and Li Mu’s heart became calm.

He sat back on the creaking recliner, put on his reading glasses, and tremblingly opened the newspaper. But the next moment, the hand holding the newspaper suddenly trembled.

On the core page of the newspaper.

The huge text and title were very eye-catching-

“The end of an era: the virtual online game “Elf Kingdom” will be officially shut down at 12 o’clock tonight. Thank you for your company.”

“Shut down… “Elf Kingdom”… is it going to shut down too?”

Li Mu’s eyes widened slightly, and a trace of confusion emerged in his old and turbid pupils.

At this moment, he suddenly felt as if he had been completely abandoned by the whole world.

He threw the newspaper on the ground, stood up tremblingly, and hurried to his stealth cabin.

The old stealth cabin had been outdated for many generations, but Li Mu still took care of it every day and maintained it as bright as new.

Nothing else.

This was his first time logging into the Elf Kingdom’s stealth cabin.

This was the entrance to his home.

Li Mu stretched out his hand and wanted to open it, but his arm stopped in mid-air.

At this moment, he hesitated again.

He knew why he hesitated.

He was escaping.

Escaping from Elf Kingdom.

He was afraid that he would return to the game and see those people he would never see again.

Those commemorative NPCs who were like old friends reborn, those elf companions who made him unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy…

Their laughter would make him feel happy, so happy that his heart ached.

Because it would make him feel that he had returned to his own world, but after waking up from the stealth cabin, what followed was a stronger loneliness and emptiness.

But… this time was different.

“It’s over, everything is over.”

“It’s time to say goodbye to everyone.”

Li Mu closed his eyes gently and sighed.

He gently stroked the rough surface of the stealth cabin, and after a long time, he opened his eyes again, and his eyes gradually became firm.

Taking a deep breath, he lifted the hatch of the stealth cabin and slowly opened it…

[Ding——]

[Game connection successful…]

[Logging in…]

[Game ID: Li Mu]

[Dear Chosen One, welcome back to “Elf Kingdom”! ]

Accompanied by the familiar melody and beautiful voice, Li Mu opened his eyes again.

What came into view was the gorgeous elf-style bedroom, and the beautiful elves were faintly flowing like a stream.

The fresh and pure air brought the breath of nature and the taste of home.

Feeling the physical strength and energy he had regained, Li Mu felt as if he was alive again.

No longer a walking corpse, no longer an empty shell.

He went home. He

got up and washed up.

Then, he put on his favorite set of elf commander’s clothes.

This set of clothes accompanied him through thousands of battles, big and small, and was embellished with his beautiful memories. He

put on the Lion Heart Long Sword, picked up the Natural Light Staff, and polished the Druid Boots to a brand new shine.

Li Mu started a new day in “Elf Kingdom”.

It was also… the last day.
