Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky along with a downpour.
The trees in the forest swayed vigorously due to the strong wind, forming a rustling sound as they hit each other. It sounded like weeping or probably more like it was recounting a tale.
On the muddy ground, two slim and weak figures snuggled together. The howling wind caused them to tremble and they leaned closer to each other.
At this moment, the boyâs thin shirt was torn apart. The back part of his body had a shocking wound. With his skin torn and flesh being exposed, blood ran down his back quietly, forming a tiny stream on the muddy ground.
The color drained from the boyâs face. His lips quivered due to the excruciating pain and he pursed his lips to prevent himself from bawling in agony.
âLittle Pomelo, I think I am about to die,â the boy murmured weakly to the girl in his embrace.
âIt wonât happen. We promised to escape together and you even said that you are going to tie the knot with me,â the girlâs face revealed her hope for a wonderful future life. However, deep in her eyes, it was visible that she could not make sense of the situation before her.
Upon hearing that, the boy twitched his pale lips and reached out his hand to caress Little Pomeloâs face.
âYou must escape from here. Promise me to live your life well.â
âAlright, letâs get out of here together!â the girl asserted.
A huge amount of blood continued to ooze out. The boy could no longer withstand it, hence he began to gasp for breath.
At this moment, he was so desperate to carry on living his life and to be able to be by Little Pomeloâs side to grow older with her and spend his entire life taking care of her.
However, his life seemed to have come to an end at this juncture.
I am not willing to give up⊠I only hope that⊠Little Pomelo will be able to escape from here⊠after I am dead⊠I beg for your mercy, GodâŠ
The boyâs vision turned blurry and his head hung low. At this point in time, he seemed to have heard the voices of those people. A scene of the world of blue in the cultivation pool emerged in his eyes.
âWhat a perfect body experiment⊠it is something so rare in this Dharma-ending age⊠in this regard, your serial number will be 410 from now on.â
âHaving a stable life form⊠included a trace of extrasensory perception⊠letâs see if itâs possible to awaken the special characteristics of his body composition⊠such a pity, it seems like we have failed this time⊠410 youâd better not die⊠you need to at least last for ten experimentsâŠâ
âThis is your roommate. Her name is called 423. Both of youâd better not get into a fight, or else youâll know the consequence of itâŠâ
âThis is such a shocking discovery⊠423! Perhaps we can rely on the special characteristics of her body composition to study the secret of cultivation⊠you are indeed more powerful than the useless 410âŠâ
âHahaha⊠423⊠the special characteristics of your body composition have been awakened⊠you have successfully been integrated with the extrasensory perception⊠hahaha⊠we are about to succeed!â
âItâs so unexpected to know that the useless 410âs special characteristics of body composition have also been successfully stimulated⊠such a shocking surprise⊠both you and 423 will become our babies in the laboratory next timeâŠâ
The memory before death was leaping and flashing like a film in reverse. Other than the experiments that frightened him, a gentle and soft voice of a girl popped up in his mind.
â410, will we die here?â
âPlease donât address me, 410. I have a name, call me Murphy!â
âTo be honest, I am not called 423 either. My name is actually Little Pomelo.â
âWhy do you keep staring at me?â
âI canât see you, I can only feel your presence. Hee-hee.â
âMurphy, why do they want to treat us like this? I feel so painful, very painful!â
âLittle Pomelo, hang in there! They said you will surely be successful, you wonât die!â
âMurphy, I feel like I canât bear with it anymore. It seems like Iâm going to die soon. Iâm in great despair!â
âLittle Pomelo you must persevere. I will surely bring you out of this place!â
âSeriously?â
âI promise!â
âOkay, I believe in you!â
âMy mum told me to get married to a man Iâm fond of when I grow up, so Murphy I just want to tell you that I like you!â
âOnce we have escaped from here, I will marry you!â
âYes, we will certainly get out of here together.â
âLittle Pomelo, I can feel that my body is getting stronger. I believe we can leave here soon, very soon!â
âBut Murphy, why is my strength not getting stronger? I can only sense as though I have become two of me. Itâs so weird!â
âProbably, because I am a boy, hee-hee.â
âMurphy, are we serious about escaping? But I donât have a clear vision so I canât see the road clearly. What to do?â
âIâm your pair of eyes!â
âItâs good to have you!â
Not knowing how long it had passed, Murphy felt as though something was crawling on his face. He slowly opened his eyes to find Little Pomelo sweeping her strand of hair on his face.
âIâm not dead?â Murphy asked in his husky voice.
âMurphy, we will share a life in the future. You are me, and I am you. We will never get separated again!â Little Pomelo held Murphyâs hand as she giggled.
âHow did you do it?â
âBecause I donât want to let you die. Your body slowly turned cold and I almost cried my heart out. I keep telling myself that you must not die, then the other me just entered your body. So, now we share a life together!â
As Little Pomelo was speaking, she stretched out her hand to pinch his cheek.
âDo you feel pain?â
Sensing the slight pain emerging from his cheek, Murphy revealed a smile on his face. He knew for sure that they were together this time.
âSo painful, I must pinch you back!â Murphy smiled as he pinched her cheek.
âNo way, Murphy, you bully me! I want to pinch you back as wellâŠâ
Two bodies who shared a life held their hands together as they stepped out of the forest, moving toward a whole new life.
In such a cruel world, they were determined to survive.
They used to be bullied, experienced hunger and were even cheated before, but they still lived a happy life because they had each otherâs company.
They thought of going home, returning to their parentsâ sides. However, on their journey back home, they realized that both of them could not separate from each other. Hence, other things were no longer important anymore.
He was her pair of eyes that could show her the way, brightening up her initial world of darkness.
She was his life that could come to a halt for him, ready to be his gentle harbor.
Out of coincidence, Murphy knew about the existence of a game named Online Battle and realized that this game was like a real world. Hence, he used up all his savings to buy two sets of virtual reality devices, thinking of bringing her in to the real world.
âMurphy, I am getting angry now. You used up all the money and we are going to starve to death soon!â
âLittle Pomelo, I heard that one can earn money through this game. I wonât make you starve. You need to know if you get hungry, I will certainly be hungry as well.â
âI am so sad to realize that you always feed me just to ensure you donât starve yourself.â
âThatâs right so youâll have to make sure to fill your stomach up all the time.â
âAlright, Iâll listen to you this time.â
In order to understand clearly about this game â from ways of earning money to the most profitable character class, Murphy will frequent the forum to seek advice from the experienced players, hoping to get some help.
After receiving a useful hint from Crayon_Shinchan, they found out that assassin players could earn the most money.
After coming into contact with the game content, this was the first time that Little Pomelo had ever experienced a world full of colors. This had resulted in her being deeply into it and once she knew that Murphy chose the position as an assassin, she followed suit. This was all due to the fact that she wanted to earn money with him and work hard together for their happiness.
Thereupon, the game had serial killer couples that accepted Reward Quests.
The strange soul of Murphy and Little Pomelo had indeed attracted the attention of Lu Wu. Hence, he asked Bei Li for more information.
According to Bei Liâs explanation, their souls have actually combined with each other and formed an inseparable existence called twin souls.

As Lu Wu was curious, he used to ask a question related to how long they would stay that way.
Bei Li replied, âIt will last longer than eternity. Even if they were to be reincarnated and reborn, they are fated to be together forever.â
Out of curiosity, Lu Wu paid attention to these two individuals.
There was once during the sunset by the sea, Lu Wu witnessed the scene of both of them holding hands and slowly got out of sight with only a trace of a shadow that came into view.
