Okokokokokok SQQ refuses to push LBH into the Abyss. Throws down his sword, pulls Binghe away from the edge- it ain't happening.
So the System initiates "Emergency Continuity Preservation Protocols" an becomes visible to Luo Binghe.
System: Hello Protagonist Luo Binghe! You must enter the Endless Abyss in the next five minutes or there will be Severe Story Desynchronization! )(O∆O)(
Binghe: What.
System: Severe Story Desynchronization will result in user Shen Qingqiu's soul being removed from his body! (°^°`)
Binghe: WHAT
SQQ: Oh you fucking asshole you don't get to guilt trip him into going along with your bullshit when I won't! What happened to not telling anyone you exist or you'll punish me?
SQQ and the System go back and forth a bit while Binghe rapidly pieces shit together. Shizun has been able to see this box thing for a while. The box makes Shizun do things. The box is going to kill Shizun unless LBH jumps into the Abyss in the next 3 minutes. Shizun believes this box can actually kill him and still doesn't want Binghe to go in the Abyss even though... It sounds like going in the Abyss isn't even going to kill him? It's just going to suck super bad...
Really there's only one thing Binghe can do. He wiggles out of Shizun's grip under the pretense of examining the box more closely then runs for the Abyss before Shizun can stop him.
(Binghe is going to kill that box so so so hard once he figures out how, don't you worry Shizun.)
(Shizun is of course Extremely Worried about a lot of things- but he's not worried about being murdered in five years. At least not by Binghe.)
Edit: Now with Part 2
