# Chapter 116: Final Chapter (Bug Fix)
A pool of blood on the ground spread a sharp, piercing smell through the air. Qi An watched as Zhang Zhaoqi remained silent for a long time before finally nodding slightly, letting out a soft "mm."
Ever since he'd sensed that Zhang Zhaoqi seemed a bit off, Qi An had been observing him, but this person really had no abnormalities whatsoever. Everything was exactly as it should be in his memories, and he had already recovered all his memories of the past.
"Why don't we go out for a walk first?" Zhang Zhaoqi made a gesture, and immediately guards came over to clean up the bloodstains on the ground.
[An'an, are we going to meet that priest?]
[Yes, but not now.] Qi An responded in his mind. Just now, Si Mao must have realized that Zhang Zhaoqi would come, so he deliberately refrained from speaking the last sentence aloud.
He had come specially, hoping that Qi An could meet the priest.
Just as Qi An and Zhang Zhaoqi were having breakfast as usual, the sky suddenly darkened. Qi An looked up at the tower that had begun to shake, his gaze lowering to hide a deep thought.
"An'an, you keep eating. I'll go handle those matters." Zhang Zhaoqi's expression returned to normal, his tone still carrying that usual gentle exterior when speaking to Qi An.
"Mm." Nodding as he watched Zhang Zhaoqi's retreating figure, Qi An suddenly furrowed his brows.
[Tongtong, did you see the expression on Zhang Zhaoqi's face just now?]
[What expression?] The system愣了一下.
[Like disgust.] Zhang Zhaoqi rarely had such dramatic changes in expression. Although it had only lasted a moment, Qi An still caught his expression.
Beyond the disgust, there was also... a hint of panic.
Why would the changes in the Black Tower cause such a reaction in him?
Qi An's gaze once again fell upon that tower. This tower was used to imprison that sorcerer.
The wedding preparations progressed as planned, and the wedding day arrived as scheduled. The moment Qi An opened his eyes, he saw the attendants already carrying the wedding attire in. Lowering his gaze for a moment, Qi An still put on that wedding dress.
He followed the attendants into the wedding venue. There were countless people gathered inside. Qi An took a brief glance around before withdrawing his gaze, looking instead toward the platform above.
[Hang Man?] The system愣了一下, [Is she that last transmigrator?]
According to the world's traditions, during a wedding, it was best to have a priest bestow a blessing. To demonstrate their重视, the Gode Kingdom had also invited their country's priest to attend.
Everything about the wedding proceeded smoothly. Regardless of what they truly thought inside, all the guests wore smiles as they watched the two newlyweds perform the wedding ceremony. The ceremony quickly reached its final step: "Next, we invite His Holiness the Priest to bestow the blessing."
"Wait a moment." Just then, a very pleasant voice interrupted the host's continued remarks.
"Is something wrong, Your Highness the Princess?"
"Where is... Zhang Zhaoqi?" Qi An turned his head, looking at the young man before him.
"I am Zhang Zhaoqi." The young man's expression remained unchanged.
"Who is Zhang Zhaoqi, and why is Prince Tommy saying he is Zhang Zhaoqi?"
"Moreover, Princess Lu An mentioned this person too. Could it be that Princess Lu An's beloved is this Zhang Zhaoqi?" These few short sentences threw the entire scene into chaos.
"He should be on the tower, I suppose." Qi An glanced at him, answering the question he himself had posed.
"On the tower?" The young man glanced toward the window, falling silent for a long while. "Which part of me isn't alike enough?"
"Very alike." Qi An also followed his gaze toward the window.
"Then why did you still realize... that I'm not him?" The young man gave a self-deprecating laugh. "We have the same face, share the same identity, and essentially... are one person."
"Gut feeling." Qi An paused for a moment.
"Gut feeling? So I really am exceptionally jealous of him. Even though we're essentially the same person, just because he's the original, he gets to be by your side all the time. And I could only wait for you for so long before being fortunate enough to wait for your arrival." The young man's self-deprecating tone grew even stronger. "Just because he's the original, I can't even replace him. Because I fundamentally... cannot kill him."
"Even if I can do exactly the same things as him, you still won't be happy." The young man showed a very faint smile. "I'm still not as good as him, even though I was the one who appeared beside you first in this world."
The first person to accompany him.
"Zhuli?" Qi An asked.
"Yes, Zhuli. The moment Zhang Zhaoqi and the other transmigrators descended into this world, I recovered my memories. I... was unwilling. I knew that following the trajectory events should have taken, I would die and become part of him." The young man's gaze deepened. "But I didn't want that."
"Because... I wanted to replace him." The young man took Qi An's hand. "I knew you would descend into Princess Lu An's body, so I've been waiting by your side all along. I made you wear the veil because I didn't want anyone to see your appearance. Because that princess doesn't deserve such a face. During all that time I spent waiting for you, I killed everyone who saw your appearance. They were all... unworthy."
"You're that sorcerer." Qi An asked softly.
"I am." The young man nodded. "I wanted to stand silently by your side, but when Zhang Zhaoqi appeared, I just couldn't control myself anymore. Your feelings for him are special. Even with my interference, even though he lost his memories, you still met."
"I'm jealous, but also happy. Because fundamentally, he and I are one person, yet I consider myself a different individual from him." The young man seemed to sigh. "I wanted to replace him, but I couldn't, so... I could only disguise myself as him."
"Why are you telling me all this?" Qi An looked at the young man.
"Kill me." The young man shook his head, conjuring a dagger out of thin air and placing it in Qi An's hand. The latter clearly愣了一下at this action.
"As long as you kill me, Zhang Zhaoqi can come out of the tower." Zhuli explained.
"Why?" Qi An fell silent for a moment.
"Because... we're still the same, you know. Although I hate him deeply, I am still a part of him. So, even though I thought I could be cruel enough to trap you in this world to accompany me, could... keep the original from appearing to disturb us—" The young man smiled, gripping Qi An's hand and thrusting it toward his own heart, "—I still inherited his feelings. I never... wanted to make you sad, nor did I want to make you... conflicted. Compared to me, you really... would rather that guy be alive."
"Don't be sad, okay? Everything is developing along its proper trajectory. He and I are one person; I'm just returning to where I belong." The young man's features began to change slowly, transforming into the appearance of Zhuli from Qi An's memories. He smiled. "But I still hope you can remember my name. I still don't want... to be completely identical to that guy."
"Qi An, long time no see." The bells on Hang Man rang out.
"Hang Man." Qi An slowly spoke the girl's name.
"Thank you." Hang Man smiled like a child.
"Why thank me?"
"Because you showed me... the truth." Hang Man's eyes suddenly turned silvery white. "I've always known the world I'm in is illusory. Because of your arrival, I saw the truth, and because of you, I gained the opportunity to touch the truth."
"Truth?"
"Yes, truth. My master once said that the reason I became the most talented person in our sect in recent years was because I've always been pursuing truth. Because I wanted to see the truth clearly, I've never lost my original heart due to cultivation that窥伺 destiny." Hang Man smiled. "I became a transmigrator at the cost of my life. I saw from the very beginning that I would... die today."
"I bless you, bless you and him to be happy." Hang Man's smile widened. As she finished speaking these words, her figure gradually turned into a phantom.
When she made the deal with Zhang Zhaoqi, besides her life, she had also paid another price.
"I want you to help us... reconnect the red string of fate."
She had actually lied. She would indeed die in this world, but it shouldn't have been now. It's just that...
This was the red string of fate she had participated in repairing, so... this marriage absolutely must... be very, very good.
"An'an, are you happy now?" The real Zhang Zhaoqi had already emerged from the tower. He handed over a plate of pastries while asking.
"...Yes." Qi An looked at Zhang Zhaoqi, nodding after a moment of silence.
"Do you want to leave this world?" Zhang Zhaoqi asked another question.
"Why ask like that?" Qi An's gaze lowered. "Being in this world... is very good."
[An'an, do you want to stay in this world forever?] The system's voice changed slightly.
[Yes.]
[But... if you never return to the Spacetime Bureau, you'll gradually be bound by this world's rules. You'll grow old slowly, and you... will die.] By the end, the system's voice had become very low.
Lu Wuyi had already died. If he wanted to leave this world.
There was only one transmigrator who could survive.
And now there were two transmigrators remaining in this world—one was its host, and the other was... Zhang Zhaoqi.
[Yes, staying in this world is also very good.]
"As long as the me in this world dies, An'an, you can leave." Zhang Zhaoqi smiled, adding, "Don't worry, I won't die. After you leave, we'll meet again."
"Isn't staying in this world like this good enough?" Qi An looked up at him directly.
"An'an, you've always wanted to live. How could I bear to not let you live?" Zhang Zhaoqi said these words with a gentle smile. As he spoke them, his body also began to gradually turn into a phantom. "This time together has been beautiful..."
Zhang Zhaoqi had also died.
Scenes of everything after he arrived at the Transmigration Bureau flooded through Qi An's mind. That person had... died because of him in every world.
Suddenly, something hanging at Qi An's waist fell down.
It was the Cinderella doll.
Qi An bent down to pick it up. Although the doll appeared lifeless and had no vitality, the moment he touched it, it felt warm.
It seemed to be... comforting him.
—Everything will be perfect, just like in a fairy tale.
【Battle Royale World Completed, now disconnecting...】
【Disconnection Successful】
"I wasn't able to come to help you when you died before, and now I've died many times in front of you. Does that make you feel a little bit better?" It was Zhang Zhaoqi speaking. "Can you forgive me even a little?"
"...Yes."
Zhang Zhaoqi smiled. His smile was much more natural now. He extended his hand toward Qi An. "I want to ask you to help me find my soul fragments, and to... look at the worlds we experienced before together, okay?"
"...Okay."

**Author's Note:** The main story is complete QAQ
This is the first story I've ever written, and it feels incredibly surreal right now. To be honest, I started this story on a whim, and then I never expected so many lovely readers to support me. Then I was fortunately picked up by my editor, successfully went VIP, and earned my first bit of pocket money.
I still remember the trembling excitement I felt when I saw my sign-up application was approved, and the day I went VIP was equally thrilling. This was actually my first time coming across Jinjiang because there were so many fan fictions from here. I loved reading them, but back then, so many of the fan fics were abandoned. Of course, some have been completed by now.
At that time, I really wanted to help those amazing authors finish their abandoned stories. There was one particular fan fiction that was super, super touching to me. When I was in my second year of high school, the author said they were taking a break for college entrance exams and would update after exams were over. But by the time I finished my own college entrance exams, they still hadn't updated QAQ
Then the story of how I started writing this novel is also quite serendipitous. There were many times I wanted to stop writing. Actually, many times I felt like I wrote terribly and really wanted to quit, to wait until my writing skills and logic improved. But because the lovely readers kept pushing me to continue, I persisted. Thank you all!!
I hope that someday, lovely readers might come across my other stories and discover that my writing and logic have improved just a tiny little bit~\(≧▽≦)/~
A quick plug for my ongoing serial: Everyone Thinks I Will Die [Transmigration]
And my upcoming预收: When I Wear the Green Hat Afterward [Quick Transmigration] Pandora [Comprehensive]
Finally, I want to say loudly one more time!
I really, really love you all! Super love!! Super love!! Super love!!
