The blond man slowly withdrew his hand and stood there calmly. His eyes were indifferent and aloof, as if he had done nothing just now, and everything was reflected in his facial features.

Lin Jue’s eyes widened. “Who the fuck are you, handsome guy?”

Samael’s beautiful golden red eyes glanced at Lin Jue. “Samael.”

Lin Jue rubbed his hair and walked around in place. Only then did he realize something. “Of course, I know you are Samael. What the hell, I didn’t expect you to be so handsome. You must be some nobleman in a fairy tale world, good brother.”

Samael pursed his lips. “Almost, it’s normal to look like this. We all have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth.”

Lin Jue looked around at the crowd eating melons and pointed his finger at Bai Lixin. “Look, even Bai Lixin is stunned. You must be abnormal.”

Samael followed Lin Jue’s finger and looked at Bai Lixin.

Bai Lixin, caught off guard, quickly averted his gaze.

He had seen many handsome men and beautiful women. He was surprised not because of Samael’s appearance, but because when Samael lifted his cloak earlier, Bai Lixin caught a glimpse of six huge transparent wings behind him.

Angel? Or a demon? Could this be Samael, one of the beings representing one of the seven deadly sins?

Bai Lixin calmly glanced at the others, and none of them seemed to see the faintly visible wings. So, was he the only one who saw it?

——————————–

In the live broadcast room.

[Samael!!!]

[Fuck, I never thought I would be able to see Samael’s true face in my lifetime. Samuel is so handsome, it never crossed my mind, he’s so handsome!]

[I was also shocked. Brother Samael always wore a thick cloak and remained silent. From the beginning, I thought he was just a background character in the Sand Sea Guild. Who would have thought he was the most handsome in the guild?]

[He has a perfect gong physique. Although he is still a bit inferior to our big boss, among mortals, he is definitely at the top of the food chain.]

[Why do you compare him to the boss instead of God Xin?]

[Because there’s no comparison to God Xin, right? God Xin broke out of the atmosphere long ago and stands side by side with the sun. Who dares to compete with the sun and the moon? Only God Xin can.]

[I feel like I’m drifting away. In the past, I would have praised Samael’s looks and fainted on the spot. But after seeing God Xin’s appearance for so long, I’m immune to beauties of the mortal world.]

[Hahaha, me too. God Xin has taken us captive.]

[Am I the only one curious about Hong Yue’s appearance?]

[To be honest, I’m curious too.]
[Me too. I wonder if we’ll have a chance to see her again.]

[The system just announced that one more player has been revived. It should be Hong Yue, right? As long as she comes out of the copy, we don’t need to worry about not seeing her in the future. We have to give her more space since she didn’t have clothes to wear.]

[Then here’s a question. When they teleport, will Hong Yue end up in the same quarters with Song Yuantian?]
[Fuck, that’s mind-blowing.]

————————

There was only one minute left in the countdown. Samael’s red eyes scanned the surroundings as he walked directly toward the group.

He didn’t say much but took out a few long strips from his backpack and handed them directly them.

Bai Lixin suspiciously took the long strip of paper and examined it closely. He discovered that it was two movie tickets.

[Paradise Cinema]

[Movie Name: “The Door”]

[Release Time: ? ? ? ]

[Seat number: Row 4 and seat 4.]

The other ticket was for seat number 4, row 5.

Two movie tickets placed together, without a clear beginning or end.

Bai Lixin held the movie tickets and looked at Samael suspiciously. He noticed that Samael also handed movie tickets to Xia Chi and Zhou Guang.

The difference was that Zhou Guang, Li Cancan, and Liang Xi each had only one ticket, while Xia Chi was left dazed with two tickets.

Confused, Xia Chi asked, “Why did you give me two movie tickets? Are they for my brother and me?” He glanced at Bai Lixin and continued, “No, brother already has his. Samael, why did you give me two tickets?”

Samael exchanged a meaningful look with Xia Chi and Bai Lixin. “It’s nothing. I just wanted to invite you to watch a movie. I hope you can accept it.”

Bai Lixin pursed his lips slightly.

Xia Chi himself didn’t know, but although he appeared to be alone, there was another person in his mind.

If the two movie tickets symbolized this, then Samael was also inviting the person in Xia Chi’s mind.

Did Samael also know about Tan Yue’s existence? It seemed that this person was far more mysterious and unpredictable than he appeared on the surface.

If Xia Chi’s two tickey represented Xia Chi and Tan Yue, then the two cards in his hand…

Bai Lixin slowly raised his head and looked at Dr. Sang, who had a profound gaze.

Seeing Bai Lixin’s gaze, Dr. Sang’s eyes briefly flickered. “I won’t bid you farewell because we will meet again soon.”

In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, “In the past few days, I have recalled some things. I seem to be the protagonist of those memories, and yet I also feel detached from them.”

“At first, I thought I was dreaming, but whose dream is so vivid?”

He chuckled, saying, “The relationship between you and me is truly intriguing. No wonder you’re not afraid of me being a zombie. It seems there are more extraordinary beings than me everywhere.”

Bai Lixin blushed and replied, “You, don’t talk nonsense. I am very pure.”

The only response to Bai Lixin was a clear and sly smile from the man.

Underneath the man’s smile, Bai Lixin gradually became restless. He cleared his throat and noticed that the countdown had reached the last second. Hastily, he stuffed the movie ticket into his backpack and said with a stiff face, “I’m leaving.”

The man smiled, his eyes filled with affection. “Okay, see you later.”

After saying that, Bai Lixin vanished from sight.

——————————

[Ding! Congratulations to all players! You have successfully cleared the Doomsday copy and completed the ultimate Resuscitation mission.]

[The source of the virus in the Doomsday copy has been completely eliminated, and the recovery process is gradually being completed. All hidden tasks in this dungeon have been resolved.]

[From now on, the Doomsday copy will be permanently suspended.]

[The following players are invited to enjoy the playback after recovery.]

Scenes quickly unfolded around the players as they witnessed the unfinished party from the perspective of God.

At the end of the award presentation, the host read out the names of the players one after another, intending to present them with the “Medal of Honor for Salvation,” which represented the highest honor. However, despite the loud calls and intense applause from the crowd, they never appeared again.

After they left, everyone gradually forgot their memories, but deep down, they still remembered the group of people who had suddenly arrived, bringing them survival and hope.

The screen fast-forwarded multiple times, showing the gradual transformation of the devastated world into a paradise for humanity.

With the first triumphant cry, the school was rebuilt.

The movie scenes that the bearded man and his team once yearned for were no longer confined to documentaries.

People walked out of the ark and returned to the ground. Fear and suspicion vanished as they strolled hand in hand through the prosperous streets and fields of flowers.

Once the seeds of hope were sown, they rapidly spread, sweeping across the world.

————————-

In the live broadcast room.

[This is the most moving copy I’ve ever seen. I never expected to witness the purest hope and the brightest smiles in a doomsday copy filled with despair.]

[Ah, I haven’t been this excited in a long time. It’s simply amazing, a perfect ending.]

[This copy was a HE, and our fellow players have also been resurrected and returned to the game lobby. I’m so happy! As expected of you, God Xin.]

[Although the process felt a bit cruel, I never expected such a happy ending. Woo woo woo, I love it. I have to say, I love God Xin even more now.]

[Hey, let’s wait for God Xin to return!]

———————-

[Ding! Welcome back from the Doomsday copy. The duration of this doomsday copy was 20 days.]

[Congratulations, player Bai Lixin. Not only did you excellently complete the tasks, but you also made a key performance in clearing the source of the zombies. You have earned a total of 100,000 performance points and 120,000 mall points this time.]

[Ding! Congratulations, player Bai Lixin! Your floor has been successfully upgraded to 400 floors.]

[Wow, Master Bai Lixin, you are my God! Your speed of upgrading is unprecedented. It’s mind-blowing! Keep up the great work, and aim for 900 floors!]

The escape system switched to its flattering mode, as usual. After hearing the escape system’s praise, Bai Lixin took out the Rubik’s Cube and two movie tickets from his backpack.

He first focused on the Rubik’s Cube, thinking it was merely a cube-shaped object. However, as he held and turned the Rubik’s Cube, he discovered that it was indeed a genuine Rubik’s Cube. Its appearance was no different from an ordinary Rubik’s Cube, and even when he twisted it, there didn’t seem to be any special changes.

Bai Lixin lazily leaned on the sofa, playing with the Rubik’s Cube for half an hour. By the end, he could even solve it with one hand.

While playing with the Rubik’s Cube using one hand, he shifted his attention to the teo mysterious movie tickets.

Bai Lixin: [Sister System.]

Escape system: [As long as you call out, I will definitely appear by your side. Dear Master Bai Lixin, I am here!]

[…] Bai Lixin shook his head and asked, [Is there any entertainment like a cinema in the game lobby?]

Escape system: [Of course, there is. It’s on the 400th floor.]

Bai Lixin played with the Rubik’s Cube in his right hand while holding the movie tickets between the index finger and thumb of his left hand. He asked, [What’s the name of that movie theater? Are they showing ‘The Doors’?]

Escape system: [The movie theater is called ‘Escape Cinema.’ I just checked, and there is no movie called ‘The Door’, but they have a newly released movie called ‘Gate of Ghosts.’ Would you like to watch it? It’s super exciting.]

Bai Lixin: “…”

Why not? I just came out of a thrilling copy. So should I go to the movie theater for excitement?

As he casually twirled the two movie tickets, Bai Lixin muttered to himself, “Then what about Paradise Cinema?”

A few seconds later, the escape system exclaimed, [Master Bai Lixin! I found the Paradise Cinema you mentioned!]

[Paradise Cinema does exist, it is not in the game lobby but in a copy. However, that copy is part of the closed beta copies and was closed after being opened only three times due to its instability. Even early players didn’t know the name of this movie theater.]

[Hehe, only I can,] the escape system proudly claimed.

S419M quickly flattered, [Sister System, you’re awesome! Just as I expected from the amazing Sister System. I should hug her and hold tight!]

The escape system replied, “[Brother M, hug and hold tight!]

Bai Lixin wondered if the movie tickets had any connection to the closed beta copy. What did Samael intend by giving him this movie ticket?

Instead of speculating, Bai Lixin decided to ask directly.

Thinking of this, he opened Samael’s profile picture.

Bai Lixin: [Samael, hello, why did you give me these movie tickets? ]

The moment the private chat message was sent, he got a reply, but the reply was a little strange, even weird.

System: [Sorry, this player does not exist. ]

Bai Lixin stared at the private chat window for two seconds before attempting to send another message.

Bai Lixin: [Samael?]

Once again, the system replied mechanically, [Sorry, this player does not exist.]

After five unsuccessful attempts, Bai Lixin realized this wasn’t a bug.

A subtle feeling arose within him, and he quickly scrolled through the chat window. Eventually, he found Lin Jue’s profile picture.

Clicking on the dialogue box, Bai Lixin asked straightforwardly, [LinJue, is Samael still there? Can you get in touch with him?]

Lin Jue’s response came almost instantly, [?]

[ What do you mean? You want to find him? Let me contact him.]

About a minute later, Lin Jue replied, [It’s strange. I keep getting the message ‘the player does not exist.’]

Bai Lixin had a thought and quickly typed, [Did Samael give you a movie ticket before?]

Lin Jue responded, [Yes, he gave it to me a while ago without mentioning its purpose. When I asked, he said it would be useful and to keep it. It was strange.]

Bai Lixin opened the player leaderboard. While flipping through the pages, he asked Lin Jue, [Do you remember Samael’s floor and ranking?]

Lin Jue replied, [I remember. He was on the 735th floor, ranked 1293.]

Bai Lixin carefully read through the rankings from 1200 to 1300 and became increasingly serious. [Samael’s name has disappeared from the ranking.]

Lin Jue replied after awhile, [I checked and noticed it too. It’s not just here; his name has vanished from the guild as well.]

[I asked in the guild group ‘Where is Samael?’ Guess what? Everyone said there was no such person.]

[Fuck, what’s happening? Isn’t it only the players who fail their missions that are erased from our memory? Samael was with us, and the mission was successful. If he was forgotten, why do we still remember him when everyone else has forgotten?]

Bai Lixin glanced back and forth between the movie ticket and the Rubik’s Cube in his right hand. He said, [I think we haven’t forgotten Samael because we have the movie tickets. Maybe the movie ticket serves as a link between our memories and Samael.]

[As for why he disappeared…] Bai Lixin stared at the words “Paradise Cinema” on the movie tickets, and images kept flashing in his mind. [Could it be because he did something he wasn’t supposed to?]

[What could he have done?] Lin Jue asked.

[He has been doing well. He didn’t make any mistakes until the end of the copy. Fuck, what’s going on?]

Suddenly, an image flashed in Bai Lixin’s mind. [Could it be because he revealed his face?]

[Has he ever shown his face before?] He asked Lin Jue.

Lin Jue: [No, never!]
