Chapter 265: What "Aventurine"? He's Practically My Fateful, Long-Suffering Good Brother!
Outside the live stream.
Hundreds of millions of people were watching the lantern rite of Aventurine's life!
At this moment.
Aventurine had already arrived before the maze of the paradise.
And that phantom, identical to Aventurine, was still trying to shatter his psychological defenses!
After the Cornerstone hallucination.
A pair of shackles appeared.
Representing Aventurine's time as a slave.
The phantom continued its merciless mockery: "This is a pair of shackles, worn around your body. The first job that man gave you, the first pot of gold you earned."
"You wrapped this bundle of chains around your fist; that was the only tool [ weapon ] you could find. Then, in that maze, you…"
After the shackles.
A golden amulet appeared on the ground.
Seeing this object.
Aventurine fell silent.
"Your expression right now is truly hard to describe. This amulet your mother left you is made of pure gold; why did you never consider selling it?"
"If you had, you could have lived a normal life with your sister for a while. Looking back, that would have been the better choice."
"Ha… I know. You must remember what your sister said at the time: You are a child blessed by the Giainthra Triclops; you can lead the clan to happiness. So, always remember to protect yourself, and never resent pain and poverty."
"The words still ring in your ears, right? You are a good child; you would never forget."
"So, you surely won't forget how miserable her final moments were, or how the shrill laughter behind you pierced your heart… You just ran away without looking back, just as she told you to."
"Tsk tsk… A lifetime of regret."
...
"Brother! Stop talking! I beg you!"
"Even a keyboard warrior like me finds this excessive…"
"The aggression of this young man is so intense!"
"Ordinary trolls just trade insults about each other's family trees, but this kind of psychological attack is the most lethal."
"Too tragic, too tragic."
"Aventurine's stress resistance is…"
"If it were me, my mentality would have collapsed long ago."
"So, Aventurine is this loyal to his emotions; even at this point, he still keeps his mother's keepsake…"
"Wuu wuu wuu…"
"Cherishing family more than himself… It's true…"
"I'm about to break down; this is too harsh!"
...
Aventurine arrived at the deepest part of the paradise.
Ahead.
The Avgin child was looking at him with a smile.
"I don't know why, Mister, you always give me a special feeling… It makes me curious, eager to try."
"It's a pity I couldn't get to know you more. We should say goodbye…"
"I should go home. The sky is getting gloomy, it's going to rain, and I can't let everyone worry."
Thunder rumbled.
Aventurine asked with a complex expression: "Where is your home…?"
"What a strange question. Home is where Mom, Dad, and Sister are…"
"Right here in this dream."
Previously, no matter how many heart-piercing words his own phantom said, it only made Aventurine feel a bit annoyed.
But at this moment,
The innocent child saying this,
Made Aventurine show a look of sorrow!
"They are not here."
"Then where are they?" The future phantom appeared and asked.
"I don't know."
"You clearly know. It's just that the answer is meaningless."
...
"Aventurine has no home anymore."
"Wuu wuu wuu…"
"Why make me watch this!"
"Hasn't Aventurine realized that the child is his former self?"
"Because he didn't have a mirror when he was a child, so he doesn't recognize himself [ sunglasses ]."
"Deleted friends, I'm broken!"
"The future self emphasizes the cruelty of reality, while the past self tells of the beauty of the dream, letting Aventurine stay here to become part of the Harmony."
"Oh, Aventurine…"
"Come on, Aventurine, don't stop here!"
"He will win!"
...
Three Aventurines gathered together.
The future phantom said: "Admit it, you are tired."
"We are all tired, so we plan to stay here, I… and him."
"Your past… and future."
"Forever. We will stay with you, forever, in this dream."
"This is the greatest tribute we offer to those who are determined to die."
In the cinema hall.
All the employees were stunned into silence!
Before, they could still sigh along with the bullet comments about Director Aventurine's ill-fated life…
But now, at this point.
In the plot!
Aventurine had actually made the resolve to cast his own life as the biggest chip!
He would become the third victim!
Letting the IPC gain the qualification to negotiate with the Family!
Many employees were already teary-eyed…
"Wuu wuu wuu…"
"Is this too dedicated?"
"Betting his own life again!"
"Can't learn it, absolutely can't learn it!"
"Can only believe in the present now, come on, Director Aventurine!"
In the front row.
Jade and Topaz were both silent.
If they only understood Aventurine as a person before.
Now.
Through this plot,
It was enough to see through what kind of person Aventurine really was!
No matter what he said,
Jade and Topaz actually still considered Aventurine one of their own, otherwise they wouldn't have given him the Cornerstone!
Now,
They were even more certain of this thought!
"The IPC… really didn't misjudge him…"
"Neither did we."
Jade raised her wine glass.
She made a toast to the Aventurine in the game.
Topaz sighed: "This plot is really too brilliant…"
"It's equivalent to getting to know him all over again."
"Believe in you, Aventurine."
"You will win this time too!"
Even Topaz, who usually didn't see eye to eye with him, was sincerely wishing Aventurine well.
Not to mention the many players in the live stream!
The little boy's name had now become Kakavasha.
After taking a photo of Kakavasha.
Next was the performance on stage.
[ All sad stories ]
[ Step onto the stage, don't be afraid, don't look back ]
"So you are an actor… No wonder your clothes are so pretty," Kakavasha said enviously.
"Actually, I am a businessman. But I do have a performance."
"Are you like the people in black in the sky? But you aren't wearing black clothes."
"Only ordinary employees wear those kinds of clothes; my position… is much higher than theirs," Aventurine said softly.
"So amazing, I hope I can become an adult as pretty as you."
"You can."
"You will definitely be better and more amazing than me."
In the live stream.
Guinaifen was already teary-eyed.
When it was Firefly's plot before, it was a momentary pain!
Now,
From the beginning of Aventurine's storyline, her tears hadn't stopped!
To avoid affecting the viewing experience of many players.
Guinaifen could only silently wipe away her tears.
Now she finally couldn't help but exclaim: "[ Game ] is truly terrifying; with the combined efforts of text, visuals, sound, interaction, and many other elements, the performance effect that can be achieved is probably infinite."
"I feel like I've personally experienced Aventurine's life…"
"Actually, I can really understand Aventurine, truly!"
"No, this isn't just Aventurine! This is my ill-fated good brother!"
......
Hotel, viewing scene.
Aventurine heard Guinaifen's exclamation.
He immediately revealed a faint smile.
He took out his phone.
Opened the live stream.
"Thanks, streamer."
"Just for those words…"
"I have to tip at least two [ Galaxy Lights ]."
"As for the next plot…"
"Let me see, this time, will I win again?
