Chapter 678 Lin Muze

One door after another, what do you want me to do?

Yue Ji ignored the whitish wooden door in front of him. It was embedded in the side of the mountain, which felt somewhat incongruous.

After finally returning to being alone, Yue Ji still wanted to be quiet for a while.

Lying on the wooden board in front of the cabin, I felt a little disappointed.

"If this is really the world after death, how wonderful it would be..."

He raised his hand to cover his eyes. The piano music from the sandbox game floated out from the house, mixed with the sound of rain, forming a wonderful resonance in his ears.

The feeling of loneliness becomes so concrete at this moment - not pain, but a kind of slow, continuous dullness, like being trapped in a quilt that will never dry out.

The rain fell into his open mouth, carrying the taste of moss and clouds. Yue Ji suddenly tore open his wet clothes and stood naked in the rain.

The water flowed down along the lines of his muscles, washing away the nonexistent blood stains. In this world, even the rain was pure, so pure that it reminded him of the day when he first transformed - the boy in the rain also opened his arms in the same way, but at that time he was greeted by light, and now there is only endless rain.

An hour later, Yue Ji returned to the cabin and took a hot spring bath.

He came to the table and used the power of Nexus to copy a computer and a mobile phone. Although his hands could hardly operate the keyboard, with the help of electronic devices, he was able to colloquially flip through a diary from long ago.

He occasionally saw the first time he transformed into Ultraman.

He left Ma Xiayi's house and then let himself go in the rain.

That time was beautiful too.

shhhhhhhhh...

The rain fell outside the house, making a pleasant sound. Yue Ji glanced at the door from the window, his heart still restless.

He felt that something was guiding him.

When he has nothing left, another hope comes to lure him, allowing him to transform into Ultraman again to protect everything.

and then?

Yue Ji smiled self-deprecatingly.

"And then you make me feel lost, huh..."

No longer paying attention to it, Yue Ji was still curious about when he would wake up from this dream.

But at the same time, he was also curious.

It's me who can't wake up.

Or do you not want to wake up?

With this thought in mind, he fell asleep on the bed.

At the same time in real time and space, Yue Ji was also sleeping in the Stone Wings, quietly waiting for repair.

……

2025 5 Month 20 Day.

Yishilin woke up from her hotel bed impatiently.

After arriving in Shanghai, her parents went out to do business, leaving her alone to travel here.

She felt a little irritated at the thought of leaving Su Jing.

It has been a long time since she heard from Yue Ji. Although she asked Pan Ting for help, the latter only gave a brief reply.

"Just forget about him as soon as possible and let nature take its course."

Wang Ye also advised on the other end of the phone: "Yes... He has survived the darkness for so long alone, is he still afraid of this?

If you are really worried, next time I can help you, just force yourself on me."

"I don't agree. At least we have to leave some offspring."

Pantene was even more straightforward, leaving Yishilin speechless to the extreme.

"I always feel like you guys misunderstood something."

"Then why are you worried? Anyway, we have come to the Magic City for tourism. You should know what festival it is today."

Pantene nodded to Ishilin, who also realized it.

"Are you guys just spending time alone together?"

Wang Ye paused, blushing slightly, "At least we all remember it, so there's no need to think too much."

"Yeah, last time you blocked the knife for me, this time I want to ride on it."

When Yishilin heard this, three question marks popped up in her head.

"What do you mean?"

"Ahem...don't ask."

Wang Ye pretended to be calm and coughed, but soon a strange sound came from the other end of the phone.

Hearing the kissing noise, Yishilin hung up the phone in anger.

"Hold!"

Despite the scolding, Yishilin had to pack up and get ready to go out. Having not returned to normal life for a long time, she had to start spending money and building her own circle of relationships.

But during this process, she could never forget Yue Ji, who once told her that he couldn't even get enough to eat.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Yishilin put on her makeup and went out, with her plain long hair and dress, and then took a taxi to have breakfast.

It had been a while since she'd spent money recklessly, and even she herself hadn't gotten used to it.

I ordered a steak for breakfast for 248 yuan, but I didn’t expect the delicious thing was the French fries that came with it. Ishilin even wanted to complain about it, after all, a long time ago, Yue Ji also liked to eat French fries.

When ordering from a fast food restaurant, he would often order French fries.

After finishing the meal, Yi Xilin went to the hotel next door to buy some chocolates. A small box cost 50 yuan. After eating it, she was speechless.

The fare for the special shuttle bus to the mall was 77 yuan, and then we went to Godiva to eat ice cream. An ice cream with pink butterfly cookies cost 55 yuan. It turned out that the cookies were delicious, but the ice cream was just average.

Pan Ting and Wang Ye met with Yi Xilin in the afternoon. Although the three of them had been together for such a long time, it was the first time that Pan Ting and Wang Ye saw Yi Xilin spending money lavishly, which somewhat eroded her values.

For example, I bought a small rabbit doll for 220 yuan.

"So all my previous care for you was in vain."

Pan Ting twitched her lips, while Wang Ye fell into deep thought.

"Why didn't Yue Ji come to you when he was in trouble before?"

In response, Yi Xilin just complained: "I wanted to give him money before, but he refused to accept it once, saying that he didn't want to owe anyone even if he starved to death."

“That’s very much his style.”

Wang Ye smiled bitterly, and accompanied by Yi Xilin, they also witnessed the day of the eldest lady.

As night fell and the lights came on, Wang Ye, Pan Ting and Yi Xilin sat around a small table with three bowls of steaming beef noodles on it. The price of this bowl of beef noodles was nearly 100 yuan, which was shocking.

Wang Ye picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly. While savoring this expensive delicacy, he couldn't help but complain: "This beef noodles, apart from the ingredients, I feel that it is not as delicious as instant noodles."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Ting beside him echoed: "Yeah, I feel the same way."

Pantene used to be a person who had a special liking for luxury goods, and now even she gave such an evaluation of this bowl of beef noodles, which was really surprising. And Yi Xilin naturally nodded in agreement.

In this way, the three of them were unknowingly influenced by Yue Ji's practical outlook on life and began to have new views on some things in life.

At the end of the day, Yi Xilin had spent a full 2000 yuan, but she didn't seem to care too much. She just stretched, and then when she said goodbye to Wang Ye and Pan Ting at night, she did not forget to remind them.

"You two, after all, you haven't gotten married yet, ahem... No matter what, you still have to be careful."

Facing Yishilin's concern, Pantene acted very confidently. She responded with a smile: "Don't worry, I believe him." Wang Ye on the side seemed a little shy. He scratched his head and said nothing.

As they parted, Ishilin touched the bracelet on her wrist.

Yue Ji's energy fluctuations are very gentle. She feels cool when the weather is hot and warm when the weather is cold. After wearing this bracelet, she has never been sick.

The energy fluctuation that is unique to Yue Ji is difficult to explain.

There seemed to be an indescribable pain hidden in Yue Ji's energy fluctuations. Although she could clearly feel this pain, when the energy of the bracelet was transmitted to her, it showed such a gentle side.

……

In the dream, Yue Ji listened to those familiar words.

"If... I mean if... if one day... I become a monster... Grandpa... how will you... see me?"

"Monster?"

In a daze, Yue Ji saw a very handsome young man applying medicine to his grandfather, while his roommate asked about his condition with concern.

A bit dreamy, but familiar.

Is that the guy?

Yue Ji pondered for a moment. If it was that script, there was no need for him to enter.

There is absolutely no need for that. That is his business and has nothing to do with me.

Just as he was about to let his consciousness return to chaos, a foul, dark breath suddenly pierced his nose. Yue Ji suddenly opened his eyes and saw a sticky black shadow seeping out from the edge of the dream - it was an alien beast that was tearing through the space barrier.

No. Monsters from that world shouldn't have such a distorted form... unless...

"The alien beasts from my world broke in?"

The moment the thunder exploded, Yue Ji had already jumped up. The tingling sensation from his fingertips confirmed the worst guess: a mutant had broken through the dimensional wall and was about to wreak havoc in another Nexus universe.

Even if it is just a world of works, if we leave it alone...

What's more, the protagonist should have a peaceful life for the rest of his life.

That guy should have been a happy young man.

Unlike the pain he was born with, he shouldn't have died before the story.

Yue Ji stood in front of the door, letting the icy rain pour down his hair and into his collar. The purple light seeping through the crack of the door stared at him like a living thing. Yue Ji stared at his trembling fingertips for three seconds, and suddenly kicked.

The moment the wooden door shattered in the purple vortex, he heard the roar of the alien beast.

……

After Yue Ji woke up, he had arrived at a dilapidated neighborhood.

He stretched his muscles, and his Evolution Truster sensed something and emitted a blue light.

"Mu Ze!"

The sudden sound startled Yue Ji, and he quickly escaped into the darkness. However, due to the use of the flesh-annihilation form, he staggered and almost fell down.

The side effects quickly came to Yue Ji's mind, causing him to cough up blood.

Everything in front of my eyes turned black and white, and my condition deteriorated drastically.

"Mu Ze's house seems to be here. The address is correct, Street 58."

"Alas... Junior Brother Mu Ze's cell phone can't be reached either. How about asking the neighbors?"

"Hmm...that makes sense."

Listening to this conversation, Yue Ji felt a little familiar, but the severe tinnitus made it difficult for him to hear the voices around him.

"Why are you here?"

Upstairs, a young man named Lin Muzhe spoke loudly in surprise.

The five people looked up when they heard the sound, and became happy when they saw the familiar figure on the balcony.

Coach Liu yelled, “Hahaha… We just came to see you because we missed you.”

"Yeah, I tried to contact you these past few days, but you didn't respond much. Today, I can't even get through to you on the phone."

Lin Muzhe scratched his head awkwardly.

"My mobile phone broke."

The story continued on the side. After making sure that there were no alien beasts around, Yue Ji fell asleep in the crevice of the dark alley.

The side effects were so unbearable that he had to do it.

Besides, it's winter now? It's freezing cold.

Yue Ji leaned against the wall, wrapped his cloak around himself, and narrowed his eyes.

……

After waking up again, Yue Ji felt that his physical condition was even worse.

"It was only used for a short while, how could it have such a big impact?"

After spitting out a mouthful of blood helplessly, Yue Ji also realized that it was daybreak. He propped up his body with his numb arms.

"grandfather!"

A call caught Yue Ji's attention. He looked at the unit on the upper floor and realized the rhythm of the story.

Lin Muzhe's grandfather passed away at this time.

Thinking of this, Yue Ji leaped lightly to the upper floor and then clung to the wall.

Next to him was an old man who was sitting on a chair and passed away facing the sun.

There are many people of the same age around me.

"Grandpa, Grandpa? I'm back... Grandpa... Grandpa, please say something... Grandpa..."

The calls kept echoing in this small balcony. The boy named Chu Nan tilted his head back and tried to stop his tears, but it was no use...

With a sigh, he left the balcony...

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Muze's voice gradually became quieter...

Lan Haitang, who had finally stopped crying, looked at Lin Muze and couldn't help but call out softly, "Muze..."

Like a machine, Lin Muze slowly turned his head, his mouth slightly open, his eyes empty, two lines of tears running down his cheeks, dripping onto the broken glass...

"Ok?"

After uttering a single syllable, Lin Muzhe fell backwards... and Lan Haitang hugged him.

This scene reminded Yue Ji somewhat of Yue Sihong.

The day my father passed away.

He did not attend the funeral, but what Lin Muzhe was currently experiencing still made him think of the past.

Although there are differences between the two in some details, Yue Ji still understands Lin Muzhe's feelings.

Without saying a word, Yue Ji jumped again, quickly left the place, and began to search for alien beasts nearby.

I came here to eliminate the alien beasts in my world.

Once that kind of thing appeared in this world, Yue Ji didn't even dare to think about it.

Lin Muzhe's companions continued the funeral. Before night fell, Yue Ji returned to the community and found Lin Muzhe lying alone on the bed.

His mental state was not very good right now, so Yue Ji didn't make any plans.

Including this time, he has met Lin Muzhe from at least three different timelines.

It must be said, it's quite a fate.

Leaving him at his home, Yue Ji came to the dark alley again and fell asleep in a daze.

After a day of running around, there was still no news.

He has no interest in the mastermind behind this world. This is Lin Muzhe's path, and there is no point in solving it himself.

In the cold night wind, Lin Muzhe was alone in bed, worried and unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Yue Ji fell asleep alone in a dark alley between buildings.
