Chapter 1259: Chapter 711: Apocalypse Death Ending

According to Su Yu’s guess, that unknown being behind the scenes who wrote him the "Dream Ending" had, just now, only written out the situation inside the room, and hadn’t yet fully set up what was outside.

So after Su Yu shook off the influence of the story and ran out, what he saw was this piece of empty Nihility.

After all, the outside environment hadn’t been written yet, so naturally there was nothing there.

And that sun in the sky spewing out stories should be the behind-the-scenes being’s Book of Narrative, or simply that being’s true body.

But right now it was hanging high up in the sky, and Su Yu found it hard to even get close to it, let alone attack it.

Just then, that unknown being should have sensed Su Yu’s "escape".

So the sun in the sky, which had been continuously spewing "stories", suddenly flared, instantly erupting with a massive amount of text-like light.

Everything around Su Yu refreshed in an instant, and in the blink of an eye turned into a modern city.

The behind-the-scenes being had just filled in the Setting for the outside world.

This city was very familiar to Su Yu; it was exactly his old hometown from before he crossed over.

Seeing this city, Su Yu’s eyes grew slightly unfocused. He really hadn’t seen scenery like this in a long time.

But Su Yu was only dazed for a moment, then calmed down. He frowned as he looked around, pondering what that unknown being behind the scenes intended.

Su Yu was already fully awake now; continuing to write this "Dream Ending" shouldn’t have any meaning anymore and couldn’t confuse him again.

"So the other side is probably going to..."

Just as this thought turned in Su Yu’s mind, he discovered that all the pedestrians on the street had simultaneously turned around to look at him, strange light flickering in their eyes, then slowly began to close in on him.

As they approached, the bodies of these pedestrians started undergoing some mutations: some opened their mouths to the limit, wide enough to stuff in a human head.

Some grew long bone spurs from their limbs, pale and razor sharp; some started to undergo Fusion with each other, becoming monsters covered all over with limbs and human heads...

One look and you could tell these things were extremely vicious—at least, to Su Yu, who now only had the strength of an ordinary person, they were extremely vicious.

"Can’t confuse me with a Dream Ending, so you switch it to an apocalyptic Death ending?"

Su Yu muttered inwardly, then glanced around and started running, dodging the encirclement of those monsters.

The behind-the-scenes being had now rewritten the story again, planning to simply write Su Yu to death.

Right now, because Su Yu had crossed the Narrative Layer, he was left with only the power of an ordinary person. Killing him had become much easier.

Su Yu sprinted at full speed, breathing hard, while activating the power of the Destruction Origin, crushing the air he inhaled and turning it into the most fundamental Super Quality.

Then he let the Existence Hunter absorb it, and finally used Super-quality Conversion to turn it into his own Spiritual Energy.

All of this happened only within Su Yu’s consciousness; he was forcibly using his previous experience with his abilities to drive his powers.

But whether it actually worked or not, he himself didn’t know.

Right now he was simply too weakened; all kinds of abilities were nearly nonexistent. He could barely even sense whether an ability had activated, let alone whether it had any effect after activation.

His thinking and computational power had also been heavily suppressed; whether it was perception abilities or calculation capabilities, they were about the same as an ordinary person’s.

"Even my thinking and computational power has weakened..."

Logically, no matter how much Su Yu’s strength declined, his thinking and computational power shouldn’t change; he should still be able to perform billions of operations in an instant.

But now, even this most basic power of his had weakened to the extreme, nearly the same as an ordinary person’s.

If not for his computational power weakening as well, Su Yu wouldn’t have almost been fooled by the "Dream Ending" earlier, even doubting whether everything before had really been just an illusory dream.

"I don’t know if this weakening of my thinking and computational power is a ’Setting’ written by the behind-the-scenes being, or a suppression coming from the Narrative Layer itself..."

Su Yu kept forcing his various abilities while rapidly analyzing in his heart.

The weakening of his mind was clearly abnormal, though the exact cause still needed further analysis.

After a while, Su Yu had already run past two main streets, and the monsters gathering behind him were growing more and more numerous.

Luckily, those monsters were still relatively slow for the moment and couldn’t catch up to him right away.

The behind-the-scenes being had hastily written a story to write Su Yu to death, but was clearly also under some constraints, so for now these monsters mutated from pedestrians weren’t all that strong.

"Relying on these monsters to kill me—might as well just throw a dump truck at me..."

Su Yu had just thought of this when his heart suddenly jolted. He quickly dodged toward the side of the road.

The next instant, a large truck loaded with cargo roared past him and slammed into the wall by the roadside.

Looked like the behind-the-scenes being hadn’t failed to think of this move.

"Speak of the devil and he shows up..."

Su Yu cursed silently, then saw the big truck start up again, seemingly about to turn around and ram into him, so he immediately turned and ran.

At that moment, Su Yu spotted a shared bicycle by the roadside. His heart stirred; he walked up and ran his hand over it, and the bike that originally required scanning a code to unlock just unlocked directly.

"I’ve recovered a bit of Data Ability..."

Su Yu felt a surge of delight.

His previous efforts of breathing air and converting Super Quality hadn’t been in vain; he had finally recovered a bit of ability.

With that, Su Yu was a bit more reassured. As long as he could recover his abilities, everything would be negotiable.

So Su Yu got on the bike, and his speed instantly increased quite a bit.

He could have easily grabbed a car on the roadside instead, which would’ve been faster, but it wasn’t flexible enough and was more dangerous.

There was no telling if he’d get hit by another vehicle right after pulling out, or have the fuel tank catch fire and explode on the spot.

So this leg-powered shared bicycle was more suitable for him right now.

Riding the bike, Su Yu weaved through the city, with various mutated monsters and all kinds of vehicles trying to cut him off from every direction.

Fortunately, this was Su Yu’s hometown and he knew it very well, so by riding left and right, fleeing in all directions, he managed not to get caught.

The problem was that riding for so long had exhausted him; he was panting heavily, sweat pouring down.

"This feeling really is nostalgic..."

Ever since Su Yu awakened his panel and gained an Extraordinary Ability, it had been a long time since he’d felt like an ordinary person.

Ordinary humans were just too fragile; the various sensations of his body made Su Yu feel extremely uncomfortable.

But he possessed a will tempered over billions of years and remained completely unmoved, pedaling the bike without pause.

However, just running and hiding like this wasn’t a solution, and those monsters seemed to be slowly growing stronger and faster. If Su Yu didn’t take new measures, he’d probably be caught sooner or later.

Luckily, Su Yu had no intention of just hiding forever; he already had a plan.

"Stories need logic. Whether it’s the upper Narrative Layer or the lower Narrative Layer, it’s all the same..."

"Since that’s the case, there must be a reason for the mutations in this city. If I find it, I can break this."

With a thought, Su Yu released a surge of Data Spirit Power, invaded the city’s network, and began searching for the source of this mutation.
