Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate

Chapter 808 Restart

Dickens has always been troubled by a problem.

That's how to kill Lu Shen before he commits suicide.

…

In countless previous cycles, Dickens chose the "violent" mode.

That was to attack and kill Lu Shen with lightning speed.

As long as the attack is fast enough, Lu Shen can be killed before he commits suicide.

The result was of course a failure.

…

Now, Dickens had only one chance left.

Although his strength has improved by leaps and bounds now, all kinds of skills are fully equipped.

But if we still adopt the violent mode, will things that have failed countless times in the past really succeed this time?

…

Dickens never dared to underestimate his enemy, even if the opponent was just a mortal.

After some calculations, Dickens finally decided to change his approach.

Facts have proved that his choice was indeed correct.

In this round, Lu Shen's strength far exceeded his calculations.

…

"Actually, there is another way to kill Lu Shen before he commits suicide."

"Then let Lu Shen give up committing suicide."

“The conditions for this method were not met before, but now they are!”

After choosing this path, Dickens recombined the skills on the game board and finally formed a new skill.

At this time, Lu Shen said the name [Dickens] again.

Dickens's new skill set in motion.

…

"Restart!"

Dickens stared at Lu Shen with incomparable indifference. At the moment when the skill was activated, Dickens himself turned into a huge whirlpool.

Without any resistance, or no resistance at all, Lu Shen was swallowed by the whirlpool.

After Lu Shen disappeared, only a vortex remained in place, spinning quietly counterclockwise.

…

"[Restart]!"

The moment Dickens' skill was activated, Lu Shen noticed an extremely familiar feeling coming over him.

This feeling was so familiar that Lu Shen didn't even think about resisting.

Or subconsciously, he thought he couldn't resist.

Everything was like a conditioned reflex, and Lu Shen accepted the "restart" very cooperatively.

…

"Is this the last cycle?"

After [Restart], Lu Shen was extremely surprised to find that he had returned to the previous cycle.

At this time, he was being hunted by Dickens.

"Teacher Lu, do you still remember who I am?"

The extremely weird Dickens, who was chasing him, asked this question again.

…

Of course Lu Shen knew the name of the guy opposite.

Even if he didn't answer, the other party didn't seem to care.

"Restart!"

Dickens once again stared at Lu Shen with great indifference, and then turned into a whirlpool again.

This time, Lu Shi was really sucked into the whirlpool without any resistance.

After Lu Shen disappeared, only the vortex was left spinning quietly counterclockwise.

…

"Am I back in the loop?"

After the restart ended, Lu Shen looked around in shock.

At this time, he was being pressed to the ground and rubbed by Dickens.

He had already blurred this memory, but now he could recall it all.

…

"Dickens, what on earth are you going to do?"

This time, before Dickens could ask a question, Lu Shen spoke first.

Lu Shen had already realized that something was wrong, and he even vaguely guessed something.

"Teacher Lu, I am helping you treat your illness!"

"Didn't you lose your past memories?"

"I'll help you find it!"

"Restart!"

…

With a cruel smile, Dickens once again turned into a counterclockwise rotating whirlpool.

This time, Lu Shen struggled and tried hard to resist the swallowing of the whirlpool.

But still to no avail.

At the moment when he was swallowed by the whirlpool, Lu Shen suddenly realized.

His chance of breaking out of the vortex only existed the first time.

After he entered the vortex, there was no possibility of escaping.

…

A new round of restart begins, and Lu Shen and Dickens meet again.

"Damn it, I fell into your psychological misdirection tactics."

"I should have tried my best to resist and get out of the vortex the first time."

"But I thought you really started the restart. I didn't expect you to create a pirated product yourself."

…

After meeting again, Lu Shen was a little angry.

After all, he had the advantage before and finally took the lead in terms of strength.

I didn’t expect that the other party was playing dirty tricks.

The moment [Restart] appeared, Lu Shi really thought that Dickens had started the [Restart] of the entire city of Angsa.

I didn’t expect that [Restart] could also be fake.

This is purely to bully Lu Shen for not having enough combat experience!

…

"Teacher Lu, your judgment was actually wrong."

"Even if it's the first restart, you can't resist it."

"Because my skills were already activated when we first met."

"The moment [restart] starts, you have no chance to choose!"

Dickens looked at the furious Lu Shen with disdain.

He does use "psychological misdirection" techniques, but that's just the icing on the cake.

How could he rely on those little tricks to win or lose?

…

"Teacher Lu, do you still remember who I am?"

Dickens asked the question again.

This time, Lu Shen's expression changed instantly.

Because he finally realized how he got tricked.

The next moment, the counterclockwise vortex appears again, and a new restart begins.

…

"your name!"

"Your attack actually comes from your name?"

"So sinister and despicable!"

The two sides met again, and Lu Shen became even more angry.

He really didn't expect that he would fall for the name [Dickens].

The opponent was so shameless that it was in vain that Lu Shen felt that the opponent was quite polite and introduced himself politely.

…

"Teacher Lu, don't be angry."

"This is all to cure your amnesia."

"The reason why you forget the past is because you have lost a lot of [anchors]!"

"If I want to help you recover your memory, I can only use myself as the [anchor]."

"Teacher Lu, there is no need to thank me. This is what I should do."

Dickens explained "well-intentionedly" and then turned on [Restart] again.

…

"Son of a bitch, thank you for your help!"

Before Lu Shen could finish his words of thanks, he was swallowed up by the counterclockwise rotating whirlpool again.

In this way, Lu Shen was forced to start rounds of restarts.

At first, Lu Shen was extremely resistant and wanted to struggle.

But as the reboot progressed, Dickens's "treatment" actually worked.

…

With [Dickens] as the anchor point, we continue to go backwards with the cycle.

Lu Shen's memory is actually recovering.

He remembered more and more things.

After a new restart, Lu Shen appeared in front of a dilapidated old house.

…

"I remembered!"

"This is my home in Angsa City!"

"No, this old house is not my home."

"But this should be my home."

Lu Shen stared at the dilapidated old house with great struggle.

In his mind, two cognitions were constantly fighting.

A realization told him that this old house had nothing to do with him at all.

Another kind of knowledge told Lu Shen that this was once his home.

It's just been "tampered with".

…

"It's finally starting to work."

"Mortal people are so obsessed with the past and always want to get it back."

"Because in their perception, [the past determines the present]."

“Without the past, they can’t anchor themselves and they lose themselves.”

Dickens stood quietly behind Lu Shen, with no intention of attacking from behind.

He is like a close friend who silently accompanies an old friend, and his main motto is "never leave and never give up".

…

Dickens' new skills, a large part of the inspiration and technology, come from the Imperial Viscount.

After seeing the master connect the present and the past, and open up the past on his own.

Dickens's cognition has been greatly baptized and has been sublimated.

So after seeing Lu Shen "losing himself", he immediately thought of a "treatment strategy."

Lu Shen's little problem is really just childish.

…

"Restart!"

Looking at Lu Shen who was still struggling, Dickens finally couldn't bear it.

So I helped him again.

So time went back again.

With the end of the restart, Lu Shen finally stopped "struggling".

…

"I remembered."

"I remembered it all."

"This is indeed my home in Angsa City."

"That's how it should be."

Lu Shen scratched around on the ground with great excitement, and then a luxurious villa replaced the dilapidated old house and appeared in his memory.

This is how it should be.

…

"I have indeed lost a lot of memories!"

"Who am I, Lu Shen?"

“What should Onsa City look like?”

"I need to continue to reboot, I want to get my past back!"

Recalling my own home, this seems to be an extremely important node.

…

The original Lu Shen, even if he kept falling into the whirlpool, the world in his mind still existed.

It's just that with each restart, it becomes more and more blurry.

Now, that world has finally disappeared.

Lu Shen's "cognitive schizophrenia" was finally cured.

…

"Illusion, everything before was an illusion."

"I fell into an extremely real illusion before."

“I imagined a world that I thought was real.”

"I was really crazy before."

"I'm now gradually getting out of the illusion and back to reality."

After the cognitive split was cured, Lu Shen's cognition immediately reversed 180 degrees.

…

He feels that everything before (now) is illusion, and what he wants to find now (past) is reality.

So Lu Shen no longer resisted "restarting", but was eager to speed up.

Dickens was naturally very cooperative and fulfilled Teacher Lu's wish.

…

"The current Lu Shen is no different from his consciousness entering the shadow of the soul and getting lost in it."

"The more memories he retrieves, the more real [the past] becomes."

“Correspondingly, everything [now] will also be forgotten.”

"If we talk about it before, Lu Shen could still remember that [Restart] was fake and I forged it."

"So now, Lu Shen has completely forgotten all this."

"It's like a person is constantly traveling back to the past, but the price is that [the present] becomes the future and disappears without a trace."

…

Dickens witnessed with his own eyes that Lu Shen kept "picking up" and "forgetting" again and again.

In other words, only by "forgetting" can we pick it up again.

Lu Shen now looked like a bear breaking off sticks. He could only hold the two he had just broken off.

But Lu Shen, the bear, was walking backwards.

He kept picking up the sticks he had thrown away before, and then throwing them away again.

…

"Hahaha, I finally remembered."

"I have parents!"

"Little sister, I finally see you again!"

As the cycle continues to regress, the city of Angsa in Lu Shen's eyes is also constantly changing.

For example, his home is back again, even though it is empty.

…

But soon, his seventh aunt and eighth aunt appeared.

Even if everyone is a little strange to each other.

Fortunately, with the appearance of his parents, the family relationship is back on track again.

Then there is the younger sister and his girlfriend Qingqing.

When Qingqing appeared in front of Lu Shen again, the latter cried with joy.

He finally regained everything he had lost.

…

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Qingqing, I swear, I will never let you leave me again!"

"No force can separate us."

In Angsa City, Lu Shen and Qing Qing hugged each other tightly.

Even though the humans around him are mutating at this time, they still can't destroy this warmth.

Not far away, Dickens looked at the couple with great satisfaction.

When lovers finally get married, it's all his fault.

Although he didn't want to ruin the scene, Dickens still appeared in front of Lu Shen.

…

"Lu Shen, you promised me."

"As long as I help you find everything you lost, you will admit defeat in our battle."

"Only in this way will everything you have now not disappear again."

"This world cannot tolerate the two of us."

"After you admit defeat, I will leave here."

"From now on, this world is yours."

Dickens appeared in front of the young lovers with "murderous intent", like a debt collector.

Lu Shen firmly protected Qing Qing behind him and glared at Dickens.

It was precisely because of this guy's trouble that he lost everything.

…

Lu Shen, who had been lost in the past, had his perception changed again.

Lu Shen only remembered that the world was constantly changing because of his fight with Dickens, and then he lost everything about himself.

But also because he lost everything, he became stronger.

Dickens was no longer his match.

…

But Lu Shi has also lost interest in defeating his opponent. He just wants to get back the "[past]".

So with the cooperation of Dickens, they reversed the world and returned to "before the war".

This is an extremely important node. If the two start a war again, the world will change.

Lu Shen will lose everything he finally found.

…

As for why Lu Shen's cognition changed like this?

Of course it is the result of Dickens's "unfailing" companionship.

With Lu Shen's "cooperation", he can of course influence the other party's perception in a subtle way.

…

"Lu Shen, tell me your decision now."

"Do you want beauty, or do you want to decide the winner?"

"You're not going to regret it, are you?"

"If war starts again, I guarantee you will never get back what you have now."

Dickens didn't rush him, he just stood in front of Lu Shen and waited for him to make a decision.

…

If Lu Shen chooses to "give in", then he will be completely devoured by Dickens.

But Dickens did not deceive Lu Shen. He would stay in this world forever.

Dickens, who completely devoured Lu Shen, naturally completed Mission 2.

This is Dickens’ new “god-killing” model.

After all, Teacher Lu is a man known as the God of Comics.

…

Dickens had done all he could.

According to his calculations, Lu Shen had a 99.99999% chance of admitting defeat.

After all, in Lu Shen's understanding, they turned the world around and recovered their past.

This world is real.

What humans fear most is losing again.

And it is only after losing that we learn to cherish.

…

"Dickens, I choose..."

Looking at Qingqing shivering behind him, Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment and finally decided to admit defeat.

He can't kill the other party at all. If the two sides continue to fight, it will only happen again.

Lu Shen had too many bonds in Angsa City. He didn't want to lose these, so he had to admit defeat.

…

In a trance, Lu Shen had a dream. He dreamed that he and Dickens were fighting to the end, starting a cycle.

In the end, not only did he lose everything, he even forgot who he was.

Lu Shi didn't know whether this dream was considered "past" or "future".

But he would never let this dream happen again.

…

"Dickens, I choose..."

"Boom"

Just when Lu Shen was about to admit defeat, the world suddenly shook violently.

It was as if something huge was about to break through the boundary and enter.

Amid the violent shaking, the world remained intact.

However, Lu Shen, who was originally "lost", suddenly "awake".

…

Lu Shen remembered that he was fighting Dickens and was trapped in a counterclockwise whirlpool.

Then continue to "restart".

Lu Shen's "present" and "past" were actually connected, or penetrated.

He remembered everything completely.

…

"Fake, everything is fake!"

"Dickens, this is not my past at all, it is yours."

"This is a world shaped by your memory."

"Once I admit defeat, it means that I will be completely devoured by you."

"You are so cruel!"

Lu Shen, who was completely awake, was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat.

He was just a hair away from dying.

The opponent in front of him is really terrifying.

…

"Hey, the accident happened after all."

The moment the world shook, Dickens sighed helplessly.

The biggest drawback of the new model is that it "cannot kill people fast enough" and is easily interfered by external forces.

And now it has come true.

But Dickens did not despair.

…

"Teacher Lu, you are right."

"This is indeed not your past, but mine."

"Everything in this world is shaped by my memory."

"The reason why you mistakenly thought it was yours is because during the long cycle, we have become too familiar with each other. The memories about Angsa City are almost universal and are completely indistinguishable from each other."

Dickens admitted everything with great frankness, but before Lu Shen could feel "satisfied", he was thrown into the abyss by Dickens' next paragraph.

…

"Lu Shen, your past has been lost a long time ago!"

"It might have been erased, or it might have been picked up by someone else and you can never get it back."

"Now you can think of your parents, your little sister, and your girlfriend."

“Even knowing that I’m an amazing cartoonist in the real world.”

"Precisely because this is the world I weave for you."

"With the support of my memory, you are the [God of Comics] Teacher Lu."

"Once you leave this world, you will still be the [Lu Shen] who doesn't know who you are."

"So, Teacher Lu, what would you choose?"

…

Dickens unceremoniously revealed the cruel truth.
