BVAHEDLA[W Chapter 23
by VolareChu Li-fei only felt his body fall into a powerful yet gentle embrace. He took a moment to recover.
He supported himself on the strong arm that held him, but was stunned when he saw the panic overflowing in the owner’s eyes.
The worry spilling from those eyes seemed to burn him. Chu Li-fei’s eyes flickered slightly: “Thank you, I’m fine.”
Lu Mo-chen looked at where their hands were joined, feeling the warmth from the other’s skin. He was stunned for a moment before letting go.
He admitted, the moment he saw Chu Li-fei fall, he panicked.
He almost subconsciously rushed over to catch him.
“Captain, are you okay?”
The person across from him shook his head with a smile: “I’m fine, maybe just low blood sugar.”
Chu Li-fei’s eyes darkened. That wasn’t the truth; he was just finding an excuse so they wouldn’t worry.
That inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, what exactly was it…?
But now wasn’t the time to dwell on it. Chu Li-fei glanced at the time: “Let’s go, the last game is about to start.”
Hearing this, a complicated emotion flashed in Lu Mo-chen’s eyes. He glanced at Chu Li-fei, finally making up his mind and summoning his courage: “If I win, can you…?”
Before he could finish, the door was pushed open from the outside, the noisy sounds from outside immediately drowning out his voice.
Chu Li-fei was puzzled: “What?”
Lu Mo-chen didn’t answer. He raised a smile, pure and without a trace of haze, then tightly hugged Chu Li-fei: “No, it’s nothing, wait for me.”
The final match started soon.
The Pinnacle Duel.
Lu Mo-chen once again chose the Dark Night Earl.
Accompanied by that familiar line was the audience’s anticipation and cheers.
As if supporting their new king ascending to that supreme throne.
A Ming & Ling Lan: “Welcome to the QWE League Grand Finals! We now welcome the final game – the Pinnacle Duel! Blue side, MU Team; red side, SYR Team, let us look forward to their performance!”
In the final game, both sides planned to go all out. MU Team also switched to Zhang Zi-fan.
From the start of the game, Lu Mo-chen went all out, focusing intently on the match. It was the first time he felt his controls were so smooth and fluid.
As soon as he reached level 4, Lu Mo-chen chose to gank bottom lane.
And Jiang Shi had the same idea.
The brave win when the roads are narrow, the war was about to start.
The mid-lane mages and supports of both sides also rushed to support.
Lu Mo-chen took the initiative, directly using his first skill to weave through the crowd.
With one critical hit, the SYR marksman’s health rapidly decreased. This seemed to ignite the signal for battle. Jiang Shi wasn’t afraid, using a skill to directly appear behind Xu Zhi-lin.
In an instant, a team fight broke out in the bottom lane, various skills raining down. Lu Mo-chen constantly weaved through them, dodging many skills. Like a ghost, he floated behind the SYR marksman, delivering a fatal blow.
[Dark Night Earl First Blood!]
Starting with this, Lu Mo-chen seemed to have broken the killing spree, quickly taking down a double kill again!
Jiang Shi wasn’t willing to concede, returning a double kill to MU.
In just a few seconds, four kills directly erupted on the field. The commentators spoke so fast, they were afraid their mouths would wear out.
In the following minutes, Lu Mo-chen and Jiang Shi seemed to be pitted against each other. Wherever Lu Mo-chen ganked, Jiang Shi also ganked.
Their coordination was excellent, their actions like mirror images, inseparable.
Ten minutes, the Tyrant Overlord was enhanced.
Both sides once again engaged in a fight here.
Lu Mo-chen controlled the Dark Night Earl. In the picture, only a dark red figure could be seen moving back and forth in the crowd. Wherever the figure passed, it was bound to be watered with blood.
And Lu Mo-chen directly killed his way in and out seven times here, without taking any damage himself, as if he were traveling through a no man’s land.
Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Jiang Shi didn’t entangle further, quickly turning his head to steal the Overlord.
As time passed, the number of defensive towers on both sides decreased.
The high ground defensive towers were also being taken down one by one.
Soon, only a bare piece of land was left on the field, and the super soldiers on the three lanes began to advance.
20 minutes, the Storm Dragon King appeared.
Both sides gathered at the same time.
Only ten people from both sides can be seen, almost all of them wearing the Resurrection Armor. If the Resurrection Armor was destroyed, they would switch to the Famous Blade, Golden Body. In short, both sides dealt tons of damage in an instant.
Lu Mo-chen controlled the character to shuttle back and forth in the crowd. If the Resurrection Armor was gone, there was still the Famous Blade, otherwise he could change to Blood Demon’s Rage.
In the game, voice broadcasts also continued to come.
One, two, three…
In the end, only Lu Mo-chen and Jiang Shi were left on the field!
However, the Storm Dragon King still had most of its health.
But at this time, it no longer made sense to fight the Storm Dragon King…
Lu Mo-chen decisively used a skill to float to the bottom lane.
There, MU’s minion wave was already close to SYR’s high ground.
He was planning to push the tower directly!
And Jiang Shi seemed to have the same idea. The two of them gave up the Storm Dragon King at the same time, intending to directly attack the crystal.
Every second counts.
Lu Mo-chen didn’t dare to slack off, using all kinds of skills to reach the crystal.
One hit, two hits.
The crystal’s health was directly halved.
However, the already low-health super soldiers seemed to only be able to withstand the last damage.
There was no time.
Jiang Shi was also laboriously attacking the crystal.
The picture on the big screen was directly divided into two, one side showing MU Team’s crystal, the other showing SYR Team’s crystal.
[wc, MU, go for it!!!]
[SYR is almost there, so nervous ahhh.]
The super soldier fell to the ground under the crystal’s attack. Lu Mo-chen looked at his low health bar and the cooldown of his survival equipment, decisively opened the shop and switched to attack speed equipment.
He kept praying in his heart…
As the Dark Night Earl’s last slash fell, the red crystal finally exploded as he wished.
And that dark red figure, which had been holding on for so long, slowly fell in front of the camera.
But now everyone has no time to pay attention to this. They are cheering and screaming.
Tonight’s champion has been born!
That is MU Team!
A Ming & Ling Lan: “Thank you to MU Team and SYR Team for the wonderful game they contributed to us tonight. We also thank the other teams for every wonderful moment they contributed to us this season. MU has experienced many difficulties this season. We are very fortunate to have witnessed the cooperation and growth between MU Team and Guan Dong Zhu. Let us look forward to them bringing us more exciting performances in the future!”
“Now, let us once again congratulate MU Team for winning the QWE League championship this season!”
As the voice fell, there were overwhelming cheers from the audience.
Lu Mo-chen put down his phone, leaning weakly on the back of the chair. He took a few deep breaths before recovering.
Even so, he could still feel his heart pounding in his chest.
He looked towards the backstage, as if sensing something, and tears welled up when he saw that familiar figure.
After the match was the awards ceremony.
The golden cup was placed on the high platform. And they, now finally had the qualifications to hold it.
The MU members tacitly formed a circle, only leaving the center empty. They tacitly looked at a figure not far away, with smiles on their faces.
Under everyone’s gaze, Chu Li-fei slowly walked to the center, filling in that last gap. He smiled at everyone, then together they grasped the trophy and lifted it high.
Their faces were filled with the joy of shared victory.
At the same time, golden streamers representing the highest glory fell from the sky. They saw that dazzling golden rain in each other’s eyes, reflecting everyone’s golden figures, and the most enthusiastic congratulations rang in their ears.
They are the champions!
After the match.
Chu Li-fei was still packing things in the resting room, the others had already gotten in the car and were waiting.
[Task completed——]
[About to leave the world, please prepare, Host.]
A cold electronic voice suddenly rang in Chu Li-fei’s mind.
Leave the world? So fast?
Chu Li-fei frowned. He didn’t expect the time to say goodbye to come so soon.
The figure of a smiling teenager unconsciously appeared in his mind.
Although he was still somewhat reluctant, but…
[I understand.]
Just as he zipped up his backpack, he unexpectedly saw a figure leaning against the door.
“Lu Mo-chen?” Chu Li-fei asked: “Why are you back?”
Lu Mo-chen’s heart was beating violently at this moment. He clenched the ring-shaped metal in his pocket. This was the ring belonging to the champion, which was awarded together with the trophy.
He looked at the person in front of him, with thousands of words he wanted to say, but every time the words came to his lips, they seemed to be strangled in his throat, so dry that he couldn’t say a word.
He kept preparing himself in his heart, finally summoning the courage. His hand clenched the thing in his hand, wanting to slowly unfold it, his face flushed red, like the sunset he saw in the evening.
He heard his own voice, with unprecedented nervousness, as if waiting for the final judgment of the gods: “Captain, I…”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the person in front of him suddenly widen his eyes.
“Careful!”
A body heavily pushed him away, firmly protecting him under him.
Lu Mo-chen was confused by the sudden change. After recovering from the pain in his shoulder, Lu Mo-chen slowly opened his eyes.
Before he could see clearly, a warm and somewhat viscous liquid slid down his cheek.
Lu Mo-chen subconsciously reached out and touched it, opening his hand to find a patch of red.
“Drip.”
Another drop of liquid fell. Only then did Lu Mo-chen see that the source of the blood was the person on him.
“Chu Li-fei!”
He no longer cared about the wound on his body, and hurriedly went to check Chu Li-fei’s injuries.
“Chu Li-fei!” He shouted again.
Hearing the voice in his ear, Chu Li-fei finally regained some consciousness.
He struggled to open his eyes, what he saw was the teenager’s panicked expression.
Just now, he saw that the chandelier that should have been hanging firmly began to loosen. In the moment it fell, his body had involuntarily pushed away the person who should have been hit.
The feeling of blood loss was not pleasant, and he gradually felt his body begin to get cold.
Is this the way to leave the world?
But the person who should have died was Lu Mo-chen.
Was it the Heavenly Dao?
Did the Heavenly Dao calculate that he would rush up to protect him without hesitation?
He always thought that he had never crossed the line, but unknowingly, the line that had been drawn had long been behind him. Lu Mo-chen had also long invaded his territory, devouring the space.
And he seemed to only understand his own feelings now.
In this way, he still seemed unable to escape the manipulation of the Heavenly Dao.
Chu Li-fei’s thoughts gradually drifted away, the reaction on his body being an increasingly weak body.
Lu Mo-chen became more and more anxious. He kept making calls, his body acting almost by instinct.
In a trance, he recalled what Chu Li-fei had asked him when they were leaning together on the sofa.
“Is this your wish?”
The past scenes seemed vivid in his mind. He seemed to remember something, and a hint of hope rose in his eyes: “Chu Li-fei, you still owe me a wish.”
“I want you not to leave me. Always be with me, you have to promise me.” Lu Mo-chen became more and more excited, tears couldn’t stop flowing down. In the end, he choked: “Please. You promised me.”
Listening to Lu Mo-chen’s crying voice, Chu Li-fei slowly raised his hand, wanting to wipe away the tears on his face for him.
He opened his mouth, but suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
A glimmer of crystal flashed in his eyes, he originally wanted to apologize.
Sorry, he was going to break his promise.
It was a pity that he could no longer say this sentence.
He tasted a salty liquid spreading in his mouth.
The noise from the outside gradually drifted away from him. Before his vision disappeared, Chu Li-fei only saw Lu Mo-chen’s mouth still saying something non-stop.
Judging from the shape of his mouth, he was calling his name.
In the distance, the ring that should have been shining brightly was now lying quietly in the dust. Blood kept spreading, the gold was covered by bright red, and finally gradually became dim.
When Lu Mo-chen completely realized that the gradually cooling body beside him could no longer breathe, he just sat there blankly, the agitated heart before slowly sinking down little by little.
Buried together was the love he had never spoken.
System space.
Chu Li-fei woke up. The pain he experienced before his death didn’t seem to have completely disappeared from him.
The system space was pure white, but there was no end in sight.
Suddenly, a light curtain appeared in front of him.
And the person in the picture was very familiar to him.
“Congratulations to MU Team for winning the QWE League championship this season! Congratulations to them for winning two consecutive championships!”
The picture moved, and Chu Li-fei saw Lu Mo-chen again.
Different from the memory, he seemed to have become much more calm.
The audience under the stage was pulling banners and cheering sticks, calling his name. On the screen behind Lu Mo-chen, there was a poster of the Dark Night Earl.
Chu Li-fei had become a thing of the past, and Lu Mo-chen would replace him.
He will keep going.
After the match, suburban cemetery.
On a rainy day, the security guard in the security room yawned unconsciously.
“Knock knock.”
Someone knocked on the window.
The security guard looked up and saw a young man in a black coat.
He was holding a black umbrella. The lower half of his face was exposed under the umbrella’s edge, and his features were distinct, looking very handsome. It’s just that his lips were tightly pursed, making it impossible to guess his expression.
The security guard quickly verified the identity of the visitor and let him in.
Just… Where did he feel like he had seen this face?
The security guard was too lazy to think more and went back to the security booth to “work”. In the distance, the TV was broadcasting a replay of the QWE finals.
Lu Mo-chen came to a grave with ease.
He stood here for a long time, until night fell before leaving.
A golden ring was left in front of the tomb, reflecting a dazzling light under the baptism of rain.
Chu Li-fei watched calmly, but felt as if his heart was strangled.
He closed his eyes hard, and when he opened them again, there was no emotion in his eyes.
“System, you’ve overstepped your bounds.”
“Forget it, let’s go to the next world.”
[Does the host need to rest?]
“No, just teleport me.”
Chu Li-fei lowered his eyes. His relationship with Lu Mo-chen was over, so there was no need to be nostalgic.
Just…
He looked back at the light curtain before teleporting.
It was empty.
Chu Li-fei suppressed the inexplicable melancholy in his heart before stepping into the teleportation circle.
When he adapted to the dizziness of the teleportation, the person in front of him directly stunned him in place.
“Lu Mo-chen?”
Hearing his voice, the person opposite him suddenly turned his head.
In those familiar eyes flashed complexity, regret, and surprise.
Lu Mo-chen suppressed the madness and darkness in his heart. He pretended to be nonchalant, but his tone was still trembling uncontrollably: “Chu… Royal Uncle.”
