The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 32 I'm sorry

After figuring everything out, Li Can emerged from the shadows in the corner.

When I opened my eyes again and looked at the scene before me, all the unsolved mysteries, like tangled balls of yarn, gradually unfolded and became clear.

He released the vulture puppet from the gashapon machine, simulating its size to that of a mosquito, and flew it from the underground passage all the way to the top floor.

He himself strode forward, officially entering their field of vision.

Chen Qi was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his upper body leaning wearily against the metal wall, completely limp and powerless.

The two children opposite her, Xiaoyu and Xiaomo, looked like they had been dismantled and broken. If he hadn't seen the two children's appearance and physique before, he probably wouldn't have recognized them at this moment.

The group turned to look at Li Can, who had suddenly appeared. Their expressions showed no surprise; they regarded him as an ordinary, unremarkable experimental synthetic monster and completely ignored him.

"Sister, this game is almost over, we'll have to see each other again next time..." Little Fish snuggled close to Little Mo's body, the two little ones huddled together looking pitiful, just like an injured little animal.

"See you next time." Chen Qi patted their heads gently, his tone soft but also numb.

Li Can's gaze only lingered on them briefly before turning away.

He walked deeper into the laboratory until he stopped in front of the innermost, always tightly closed door.

It turned out that this was an area that was not open to the public. The last time he came, the doors were locked, and now, after the chaos, they were only slightly ajar.

"Squeak."

Li Can pushed open the door and began rummaging through the cabinets filled with experimental logs inside.

Before long, records of the experimental process of "Wang Yali" were found on the central island platform.

"Fortunately, everything is still in time."

Li Can let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes scanning the lines of text for the information he wanted.

The vulture puppet, now out in the open, is also receiving real-time information from the outside world.

The sky was completely dark.

Beneath the heavy darkness, the entire hospital was dissolving at an unwavering pace.

Ordinary ornaments and medical facilities are slowly covered in dust.

The once clean and tidy ward area began to decay under the irreversible magnetic field; all the facilities began to age, the medicines decomposed, and the world changed.

He knew the illusion was about to end, and he didn't have much time left to fill in the last bit of information.

Everything was proceeding at a rapid pace, and Li Can could hear her own restless heartbeat.

"Faster, faster!"

After flying over the 23rd floor, the vulture stopped at the door of the dean's office on the top floor, then slipped through the gap and entered the interior space.

"We can't let this go either. No matter how careful Wang Yaxiang is, there will still be things related to his sister in his office."

Scattered on the desk were papers covered with scribbles and unknown plans.

Next to the computer monitor was a photo frame; it was a family portrait.

In the picture, an elderly couple is standing next to a brother and sister, who look to be about twenty years old and seventeen or eighteen years old respectively.

The woman with delicate features was holding a newborn baby in her arms.

"Zhao Kun was quite cute when he was little."

"It turns out that Wang Yali and Lin Wanyan do not look the same."

The woman's completely unfamiliar face was revealed to Li Can for the first time.

"That means we can rule out the possibility that they are twins. Based on the experimental report, they used the limbs of countless experimental patients to reconstruct a completely new Wang Yali..."

Li Can is manipulating two perspectives, constantly filling in the missing information in his work.

"By sheer coincidence, Wang Yali, who was eventually resurrected, had Lin Wanyan's head sewn together, but her body belonged to someone else."

"Wang Yaxiang is a complete madman..."

According to Li Can's information, Wang Yali's original body was completely unusable due to being frozen for many years.

During the reconstruction of her torso, the laboratory was disrupted by Fang Yi's side, causing her to disappear directly from the experimental center.

When Wang Yali reopened her eyes, her thoughts and memories were likely in disarray; she seemed unaware of her own condition.

Thus, by sheer chance, he was categorized by the researchers as an ordinary experimental subject and placed in the collective experimental area.

When Li Can first entered the underground laboratory to investigate, he encountered Wang Yali, whose memories were confused, as she escaped.

"Therefore, she mistakenly identified herself based on Lin Wanyan's memories from before her death... This is also the biggest clue interference for players in the entire game."

"No wonder, even the person at the center of the incident couldn't see himself clearly, so how could the players possibly unravel the mystery? I'm afraid the only person here at the time who noticed something was wrong was Fang Yi."

"That was his motive for killing..."

"As for Dean Wang Yaxiang, who turned into a monster, he must have recognized his sister while preparing to kill Fang Yi, which is why his unusual reaction seemed a bit strange at that time."

"So, does this mean that Wang Yali doesn't actually need the [Resurrection] drug at all? Even if I didn't give her the injection again, she should have woken up again, right?"

The more Li Can analyzed, the more terrifying it became.

As he was completely focused, the signal from the vulture's end showed that the door behind him was suddenly opened.

A familiar figure stood at the doorway, blood still wet on his chest, with a sharp knife sticking out at a slight angle, the blade piercing through his body and the tip protruding from his back.

The person who came was Wang Yali, who had been dead for a long time, or rather, Wang Yali who had the appearance of Lin Wanyan.

She walked around the room in a daze.

They looked around with curiosity about everything in this new world.

It wasn't until he saw the family photo on the table that he began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Ahhhhh!"

As if unable to accept reality, Li Can heard her scream with extremely suppressed sorrow, expressing her completely broken emotions.

She grabbed the hilt of the knife buried in her body, flesh flying everywhere, and repeatedly stabbed herself with the dagger she had pulled out.

"Why, why?"

Those wounds appeared and healed on her body; she had become an unkillable monster.

I am destined to live the rest of my life like this, neither human nor ghost.

Li Can controlled the vulture puppet to rest on the family photo frame, silently watching her hurt herself.

He couldn't express his feelings about it; he just felt a tightness in his chest, like he couldn't breathe.

Regardless of whose perspective he takes in this incident, it is an extremely tragic event.

The living are forever tormented, and the dead find no peace; injustice and resentment intertwine and never cease.

Through the reflection of the glass in the night, Wang Yali stopped hurting herself and touched her face with her blood-stained hand.

She looked at herself, yet it was as if she were looking through that face at the people on her body.

"I'm sorry..." Two lines of bloody tears slid down her face, her appearance began to age rapidly, and her body gradually became translucent.

Just like when Li Can first met her in the dungeon.

"So, that's the whole story." Li Can withdrew from the puppet's perspective and closed the experimental data record book in his hand.
