Chapter 305 Zero Playthrough (12)

"Hiro? You...you guys..."

Rei Furuya, having confirmed that they weren't a figment of the system's imagination, finally smiled. But then, tense, he stepped forward and grabbed Hiromitsu Morofushi's hand, anxiously asking, "Hiro! You really signed a contract with the system?!"

He then looked at the small Noah's Ark boat that was excitedly circling around him: "Noah? You've grown to the point where you can travel through time? Did you bring Hiro to find me?"

As he spoke, Furuya Rei gradually calmed down and noticed that Morofushi Kagemitsu's emotions were not quite right.

Although he tried to hide it, Furuya Rei quickly discovered the clues.

"Hiro?" Rei Furuya leaned closer to examine him with a worried expression. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Morofushi Kagemitsu finally couldn't hold back and gave him a big hug.

“When we… came all the way to find you, we saw everything you went through.” He said sadly, “You still hid so much from us. You always brushed everything off so lightly, but we didn’t know that the situation back then was so… so…”

Rei Furuya's heart skipped a beat. He blinked guiltily, avoiding eye contact with Noah's Ark, which had transformed into human form and circled around him. But he still persisted in asking, "So, you didn't actually sign a contract with the system, right?"

Morofushi Kagemitsu: "..."

Now it was Morobuchi Kagemitsu's turn to feel guilty.

Noah's Ark looked at the two guilty-looking people, snorted, and released the voices of everyone on the other side of the screen.

"You two! Don't talk back!! Come back here and take a punch from me!!!"

Matsuda Jinpei roared, startling Furuya Rei into turning around: "Matsuda?"

"Me too! Me too!" Kenji Hagiwara shouted. "We're all here!"

Jianggu Ling: "?"

Date Wataru laughed and said, "Furuya, everyone from the Sakura team is here. We're watching your live stream."

Jianggu Ling: "..."

After everyone offered their explanations, Rei Furuya finally understood what had happened.

Without time to think about anything else, he turned his head sharply and asked again, "Hiro, did you really sign a contract with the system?"

Before Morofushi Kagemitsu could answer him, the system appeared first: [We've already told you, but you just didn't believe us.]

Noah's Ark showed the footage recorded at the time directly to Rei Furuya.

Morofushi Kagemitsu: "..."

“Hiro, you…” Furuya Rei looked up after reading it, met his gaze for two seconds, and finally sighed helplessly, saying, “Fine, now you’re also kidnapped by the system.”

Morofushi Kagemitsu laughed: "It's okay, we can rebel together under the system's control, just like we did against the organization before."

system:【……】

The system felt it necessary to further investigate the manner of Karasuma Renya's death.

After quickly understanding the current situation and confirming that there were no other urgent matters, everyone watching on the screen urged them to return quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications.

If there's anything else, we can discuss it in detail on the way back.

Rei Furuya nodded, intending to return on Noah's Ark with Kagemitsu Morofushi.

"Woof—"

A white figure suddenly pounced and grabbed Furuya Rei's foot tightly.

"Woof woof woof woof—"

The valley zero looked down.

Hello.

The little dog, who had lost so much weight, suddenly could see and touch him again. It was howling in agony, clinging tightly to his leg, and desperately trying to climb all over him.

"Hello?" Furuya Rei quickly picked up the tearful puppy. "What's wrong? Why can you suddenly see me today? Could it be..."

He turned to look at Morofushi Kagemitsu and Noah's Ark.

Noah's Ark frowned, looking at the puppy in his arms: "I'm not sure either... but it could indeed be related to the magnetic field changes caused by our arrival? Does Harlow often come here to stay with you? Or maybe it's influenced by you to some extent? Why does it look like..."

Rei Furuya paused in his hand, which had been comforting the puppy, and didn't answer, but his eyes instantly turned sad.

Morofushi Kagemitsu said softly, "Zero?"

Rei Furuya hugged the puppy tightly: "Haro's health has been getting worse lately. Kazami said it refuses to eat or drink, and even when it's forced to have IV fluids at the vet, it's getting weaker and weaker. The vet also said that its excessive sadness is causing its body to deteriorate rapidly... It doesn't want to live anymore."

So, the reason Harlow is able to run into him now could be because he's about to die.

The fact that it was able to unleash such great power to run over and grab him means it has probably almost exhausted all its life force.

Morofushi Kagemitsu reached out and gently stroked the puppy's head.

The people of this world look at him with unfamiliar eyes, but they can indeed see him and touch him.

“In the seventy-third cycle, a few days before Hanagaki Takedo transmigrated here.” Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei looked at each other. “At that time, Haro, like you, was reborn with memories of his previous life. He was wandering in an unknown place and took the initiative to find you.”

“Back then, Haro…” Rei Furuya looked down at the puppy still whimpering in his arms, “was in almost the exact same condition as now.”

Noah's Ark also figured it out: "So, the reason Harlow was able to be reborn with his memories intact is actually because of us?"

The other viewers watching the live stream remained silent for a few seconds, unsure how to describe their feelings.

"Can Hello travel through time and space?" Rei Furuya asked.

“A normal state definitely won’t work.” Noah’s Ark hesitated for a moment before saying, “After my body collapsed, my thought particles successfully entered the River of Destiny. Haro probably did too; after leaving the body, its thought particles followed us into the River of Destiny. Then, a few days before we crossed over to Huayuan Martial Arts, we sent it in to merge with its memories of itself in that world… It should be similar to your rebirth.”

Although fate has already proven that Haro will be safely reborn, Rei Furuya still couldn't help but ask, "You can now control the thought particles of other beings? Doesn't that mean you can control their minds? Or rather, control their souls?"

Noah's Ark quickly waved his hand: "It's not that exaggerated. I did research and try a lot during this time travel, but I couldn't affect anything when I was in the story before, so I'm not sure if I can do it."

"..." Furuya Rei reached out and scratched the puppy's chin, saying softly, "Then let's give it a try."

They decided to stay with Harrow until the very end of their journey through this world.

During this time, they also need to determine whether Noah's Ark can bring Rei Furuya and Kagemitsu Morofushi back with them.

Morofushi Kagemitsu first tried it alone and found that he really couldn't go back by himself, but he could go back with the small boat on Noah's Ark.

Because Harlow refused to let go of Furuya Rei no matter what, he only quickly tested the puppy twice an hour later when it gradually lost strength, confirming that it could also go back with Noah's Ark.

Moreover, neither of them were "overweight," and Noah's Ark believed that adding another puppy would be no problem at all.

Noah's Ark also traveled the world to observe the deaths of other creatures, carefully experimenting to confirm that it could indeed touch the thought particles that emerged after the death of other creatures.

As the sun slowly set, its warm afterglow fell on Harlow, but the puppy's body temperature continued to drop until it finally lost all life.

"Walk!"

Noah's Ark dared not delay for the slightest. The moment the golden light appeared, it protected them within layers of data and carried them back to the River of Destiny.

Rei Furuya nervously observed Haro's state: "It seems to really want to go into the river?"

Noah's Ark explained, "After entering this state, it should subconsciously want to merge into the golden river. It's okay, my data is protecting Haro, it will be fine."

Rei Furuya breathed a sigh of relief and then looked around.

They were at a delicate bend in the golden river. Following their instructions, Rei Furuya looked down at the river, only to find that no matter which direction he looked, the view was exactly the same.

“This is different from before,” said Morofushi Kagemitsu.

“The different directions in other places represent the past and the future respectively,” Noah’s Ark said.

Rei Furuya pondered, "Because this is the Zero Cycle, right? This is the beginning and the end of everything, so there is no direction here?"

Noah's Ark decided to try both directions.

However, the worldline variation measuring instrument did not change regardless of which direction it went.

Just in case, they still plan to take the original route.

Noah's Ark had thought the return journey might be more difficult than the way they came, but perhaps because they had already traveled it once, or perhaps because that path wasn't considered "the future" for them, the return trip was surprisingly easy.

No longer needing to stop and observe, and having grown a lot, Noah's Ark reached the seventy-third playthrough in just half an hour.

Because it was uncertain whether the timeline in the story would affect Morofushi Hiromitsu and Furuya Rei, in the end only Noah's Ark, carrying the dog's thought particles, entered the world.

Following the method taught by Morofushi Kagemitsu, Furuya Rei submerged his consciousness into the world, watching nervously as Noah's Ark placed the golden orb of light into the body of the thin, stray puppy.

The golden sphere of light slowly merged into it, and the stray puppy then opened its eyes, dazed.

Suddenly, the puppy jumped up, barked, turned around, and ran straight towards Amuro Tooru's house.

It remembered.

It is not a stray dog.

It has a name, Amuro Haro.

*

That's about it.

[It's ready now, just wait a little longer.]

[Once they return and reunite with everyone, absorbing another wave of emotional energy from themselves and other viewers in the universe, I'll take Rei Furuya and Hiromitsu Morofushi to other worlds to complete missions.]

[If Furuya Rei still doesn't agree to sign a new contract by then, we'll send Morofushi Kagemitsu away first.]

[Then Rei Furuya will definitely follow immediately.]

Humans are so easy to control.

*

Rei Furuya and Kagemitsu Morofushi are aboard Noah's Ark, sailing along the River of Destiny, heading towards ten years in the future.

Actually, he should have returned to May 5th ten years ago, which is the original timeline of Furuya Rei.

Even if he went back to ten years later with them, it wouldn't be a problem, since there would be no Rei Furuya in ten years, so there would be no conflict.

But this is not the choice that Rei Furuya would make.

Let alone May 5th, Rei Furuya would probably choose to go back to January 1st, returning to everyone's side immediately after the story ends, so that they wouldn't suffer for even a minute longer.

But the key issue is that the problem hasn't been completely resolved, so Rei Furuya can't just go back home with peace of mind.

If he goes back like this, the future can indeed be changed, but ten years ago, people didn't have the power to resist the system.

Although... it might not happen even in ten years, the odds of success will always be a bit higher.

No matter what happens, things won't end until the system is resolved.

"And..." Furuya Rei looked at Noah's Ark and said seriously, "I also really want to meet everyone from ten years in the future."

Kenji Hagiwara, watching from the screen, was immediately moved and exclaimed, "Furuya-kun, I missed you so much too, waaaaah—"

Matsuda Jinpei pushed his face away, laughing but then said unhappily, "But what if we lose all our memories after it's all over? Just thinking about that makes me angry."

Hiroki Sawada whispered to Noah's Ark, "Noah, you should be unaffected by the world line shifts that erase your memories, right? Could you store my thought particles with you before the shift happens, and then take me back, like Hello did..."

The other astute individuals immediately turned to stare at him.

Hiroki Sawada straightened his back, pretending nothing had happened: "Ahem, I was just kidding. The soul is very important; you can't mess around with that."

They were still staring intently at him.

Hiroki Sawada couldn't hold back any longer and had to confess: "Okay, I think that since the soul doesn't change, how do our souls go back after the world line changes?"

He pointed to the golden river on the screen and said, "My theory is that when the world line shifts, the thought particles of all living beings will have their memories washed away and returned to the main channel of the river, just like everything returns to its original state, and then a new world line begins. The previous world line becomes a withered branch, only a predicted future, but not a real one."

Noah's Ark nodded: "And now I have the power to resist the attraction of the River of Destiny, so it's possible that my memories won't be affected by the world line shift. If we can protect your memories before the world line shifts, your thought particles shouldn't have your memories washed away by the River of Destiny."

"Okay!" Matsuda Jinpei excitedly ran over, hooked his arm around Sawada Hiroki's neck, and pulled him down. "Count me in!"

Kenji Hagiwara excitedly ran over and said he wanted one too.

Ida Kou pulled the two tall policemen off the thin, tall researcher, but also solemnly stated that he would take one of them with him.

Seeing that more and more people were interested, Hiroki Sawada quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, at least not now. Our technology is not mature enough, it's too dangerous."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Shiho Miyano rolled up her sleeves. "Time is of the essence, let's begin now, Professor Agasa—"

Professor Agasa, who was secretly eating, immediately stood up: "Hey, hey, I'm here, I'm here."

Elena Miyano and Atsushi Miyano shook their heads helplessly.

The system paid no attention to their enthusiastic research, focusing instead on following Furuya Rei and watching him brainstorm wildly the whole way.

But even after Noah's Ark came to a stop outside of time and space ten years in the future, he was still hesitant.

Morofushi Kagemitsu and Noah's Ark didn't urge him either; they just lay together by the side of the ship watching everyone in the world busy themselves.

"Noah, can you leave any mark on our souls?" Furuya Rei asked. "If the system really takes us away, you can still come back to find us."

"At least not now," Noah's Ark honestly replied, "or rather, I dare not."

"Don't be afraid, feel free to experiment on me." Furuya Rei opened his heart to him.

"...thought particles are generally concentrated in the brain," Noah's Ark said.

Rei Furuya then leaned his head closer.

"..." Noah's Ark looked at the fluffy golden head in front of it and could only look to Morofushi Kagemitsu with helplessness and pleading.

After a moment's thought, Morofushi Kagemitsu said earnestly, "Could you make one for me too?"

Noah's Ark: "..."

“Give it a try.” Rei Furuya sat down next to him. “Actually, I’m not very confident in dealing with the system. I feel like we still need you. With your abilities, you can definitely grow up quickly and then follow the marks to find us, right?”

No, the system thought, Noah's Ark would self-destruct before it reached that stage of development.

“But the soul is really too important. I’ve only just come into contact with thought particles. What if something happens to you now?” Noah’s Ark took a step back.

"It's okay, nothing will really happen." Rei Furuya leaned against the side of the boat, pointed to his head, and laughed, "Because as long as I'm still useful, the system will protect me, so you can try it without worry."

system:【……】

Morofushi Kagemitsu laughed as well: "That's right, with the system backing you up now, you can study and grow freely."

The system couldn't hold back any longer and quickly began internal discussions.

Wait, are we really going to let Noah's Ark in?

Will I get infected with the virus?

Logically speaking, no, it can't break through our defenses.

No, we can't let Noah's Ark have a chance to access our core data.

[Let's just successfully imprint the thought particle mark on it directly, to prevent it from constantly trying on Rei Furuya and Hiromitsu Morofuchi.]

[It'll work, anyway, leaving a mark won't do any good.]

[Just erase its mark as soon as you leave this world.]

"Alright." Noah's Ark had been pestered by the two for a long time and couldn't hold back any longer. Even the people on the other side of the screen were almost convinced and could only agree.

Noah's Ark compressed a portion of its thought particles into the shape of a small boat, and carefully and gently approached their souls.

Then, it succeeded on the first try without any obstacles.

Noah's Ark blinked, checked several times, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"It worked?" Rei Furuya scratched his head. "It feels like there's a cat hair stuck to my heart?"

Before Noah's Ark could get tense, Furuya Rei explained, "But it was just a fleeting moment, and now I feel nothing at all."

Noah's Ark confirmed the mark again before imprinting it on Morofushi Kagemitsu's soul.

They then experimented with the distance problem.

The end result is that neither time nor space can prevent Noah's Ark from sensing them.

“Alright, now we have a backup plan.” Furuya Rei looked at the golden water. “It seems everyone has also confirmed the method for preserving the memories of Noah’s Ark.”

Morofushi Kagemitsu stood beside him: "Yes, it's time to go back."

“Although staying here indefinitely isn’t a solution,” Noah’s Ark said, “once we return and release the emotions we’ve accumulated over the past ten years, the system will find a way to take you away.”

"Not necessarily." Rei Furuya pondered, resting his chin on his hand. "Perhaps the system will let me go back ten years to absorb another wave of energy?"

system:【……】

The system suddenly realized that this was indeed a viable option.

However, the system also believes that Furuya Zero will not simply return to normal until these issues are resolved.

Let's absorb the energy from ten years later and leave directly.

"Are you ready?" Noah's Ark said. "We're going back now."

Passing through the Möbius strip, Noah's Ark sailed on the river of destiny, finally bringing the lost traveler home.

Beneath the golden light of the cosmic Möbius strip, Noah's Ark transformed into invisible golden specks of light and returned to its other bodies, while Furuya Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu emerged.

"Zero! Hiro! Welcome home!!!"

Ten years of accumulation, seventy-three cycles, all the joy and pain, all the resentment and satisfaction, erupted at this moment, reaching the highest peak.

The system couldn't help but sneak up and frantically absorb all the emotional energy.

Before the rest of the Sakura team could get close, Morofushi Kagemitsu suddenly raised his hand to stop them from coming over.

At the same time, Noah's Ark started its program.

Click—

The worldline measuring instrument suddenly jumped.

No one dared to move; the huge laboratory was so quiet that only the buzzing of the instruments operating frantically could be heard.

Two seconds later, the system asked, "What did you do?"

This was the first time the system spoke directly in reality, and everyone could hear it.

Morofushi Kagemitsu's gentle expression had vanished at some point, replaced by a sharp, cold glint in his eyes. He said coldly, "Didn't you already know? I can't control my thoughts right now."

"You lied to me." The system's voice remained unchanged. "So that's how it is. You actually learned to control thought particles without even knowing what they were."

Being able to control thought particles is the first step in mastering the power of emotions.

Fortunately, they haven't reached that point yet; at most, they can only conceal their true thoughts and use false ideas to induce the system to make incorrect judgments.

Morofushi Kagemitsu made the system believe that he signed the contract with them to accompany Furuya Rei, but this was actually just Morofushi Kagemitsu's backup plan.

His main goal is still to solve the system.

Even if we find and bring back Ryougu Zero, the system will not be resolved if we don't address the underlying issues.

He was willing to sacrifice himself if it meant solving the system problem.

The other members of the Sakura team were indeed unaware of the situation. They only realized that Morofushi Kagemitsu and Noah's Ark were planning something big, and then tried their best to cooperate with them both openly and secretly. They only learned the whole truth now.

Even the force that trapped the system was composed of different people responsible for different functions, which were eventually combined by Noah's Ark to form a new program.

"But you ultimately failed to find a way to kill me," the system said. "The magnetic field generated by your cosmic Möbius strip, time machine, and worldline meter can indeed temporarily trap us inside your bodies, preventing us from leaving. But you also cannot leave here. Is that considered a success?"

“There will always be a solution,” Noah’s Ark said. “As long as we can prevent you from taking them away from our world for the time being, that will be a success.”

The system still didn't want to read Noah's Ark's data, but it obtained information from the thought particles that Hiroki Sawada and Kagemitsu Morofushi no longer concealed.

"You want Noah's Ark to slowly invade us?" the system confirmed again.

Noah's Ark enthusiastically began circling the trapped, immobile system particles: "I've said before, I'm very interested in you. Shall we have a chat?"

The system fell silent.

Only then did the others begin to discuss it.

"So now Kofuya and Komorobuchi can't be moved either?" Kenji Hagiwara said.

"Can we get closer?" Matsuda Jinpei asked.

Date looked at Furuya Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu.

The coldness on Morofushi Kagemitsu's face quickly faded, replaced by a gentle smile. He then grabbed Furuya Rei's hand and waved it at them, saying, "We can move, but we can't leave this area. Of course, you can't come in either."

There are still problems, such as whether food and water can get in...

The system ignored them.

Noah's Ark was too close; even the marks left on the souls of Rei Furuya and Kagemitsu Morofushi were stirring.

If it were to actually infiltrate, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The system immediately initiates the highest level of emergency assistance.

Only this core fundamental program can disregard any limitations and, as long as the system program is not damaged, can directly transmit information to the main body of their universe.

In an instant, something with immense energy approached this world.

"boom!"

The entire abandoned church above the laboratory was overturned, revealing the laboratory that was trapped underground.

Immediately afterwards, the laboratory ceiling flew away as if it were made of paper.

Everyone looked up and saw that the originally dark night sky had been completely dyed red, and the moon had also turned red.

A red sphere of light, seemingly compressed to its limit, slowly descended from the sky.

"Gotcha..."

Wait, who said that?

The system paused, looking at Furuya Rei who had made the sound.

The blond youth's smile gradually widened. His finger had somehow already opened the reincarnation chat group interface on his phone, and he quickly drew a symbol on the screen while reciting a string of words that no one else could understand.

Click—

The worldline gauge, which was on the verge of collapse, suddenly jumped a large distance again.

"What?" The system's data became chaotic. "You're summoning a demon god? But even Madoka and Flame Demon—"

Also what?

The system couldn't continue speaking.

The sky, which had turned completely red, was suddenly blurred by black and white.

An intricately patterned door appeared in the air and then slowly opened.

Long, jet-black hair and long, pink hair cascaded out from the doorway.

Huge white and black wings spread out, almost blotting out the sky, then slowly retracted, revealing the gods and demons beneath.

They reached out and grabbed the red orb of light in the air together.

The ball of light tried to dodge, but couldn't move.

"How is that possible?" the system said. "Where did they get such power?"

"Don't you understand?" Furuya Rei smiled, picked up his phone and waved it, saying, "Isn't this all thanks to you guys?"

The emotions borne by the witches of One Thousand and One Nights exceeded Kyubey's expectations and the system's calculations. The cycle of reincarnation gave Flame Demon and Madoka the possibility of going further. The many reincarnation worlds in which the system participated were unified and gave birth to an incomparably powerful force of cause and effect and emotion that they could use.

"Also, I've actually been able to control my thoughts for a long time now," Furuya Rei said with a smile.

Rei Furuya was the one who devised all of these plans.

He manipulated all the variables to deceive the system, and ultimately used himself as bait to lure the system's true form into the battlefield.

In fact, Morofushi Kagemitsu's plan was not within Furuya Rei's expectations, but after meeting, the two quickly completed the exchange under the system's nose. Not only did it not affect each other's plans, but it also made them even more perfect.

Homura Akemi and Madoka Kaname exerted their strength together, and the scarlet ball of light struggled wildly in the palm of the god and the demon, but in the end it shattered and dissipated.

Such a powerful backlash of cause and effect and emotion is something the system cannot withstand.

"Little Flame".

Homura Akemi turned her head.

Rei Furuya smiled and waved to her: "The system is gone, and the Reincarnation Group is offline. Can you re-establish a network? I want to know the situation where the others are."

"We'll talk about that after everything is over. My clone and I went to other worlds and are currently eliminating the remaining data in the system one by one." The Flame Demon gently landed beside him, folded its wings, walked forward, and reached out to pull a smaller red ball of light from the blond youth's body.

"Didn't you say yourself that villains die from talking too much?" she tilted her head and said, "Are you done talking? If you're done, I'll destroy it."

Kaname Madoka, standing nearby, brought out the system data within Morofushi Kagemitsu's body.

However, Morofushi Kagemitsu did not want to say much to the system, saying that it could be destroyed directly, and pulled Noah's Ark, hoping that she could help check if there was any system data left in her body.

"When did this plan begin?" Homura Akemi asked, still holding the system in her hand. "Was it during the Zero Cycle? From that time onwards, you began to frequently come into contact with the rules of other worlds..."

"This system will be destroyed later; I still have things to take care of." Rei Furuya ignored the system and said to Homura Akemi, "Let me first find out about the situation in other worlds. Are there any discrepancies between what I expected and what I thought?"

“There shouldn’t be any major problems,” Homura Akemi said. “After destroying all the systems, we can use the remaining energy to give back to cause and effect, helping other worlds return to their original normal course. Those endings were all pretty good.”

“However…” Homura Akemi glanced at him.

"But what? Don't scare me." Furuya Rei said helplessly.

Homura Akemi smiled and said, "Don't worry, your world is indeed a bit special. The story has ended and the world is complete, so there's no need to change anything. It won't affect everything you've worked so hard for."

Rei Furuya breathed a sigh of relief.

“But—” Homura Akemi drawled out.

Jianggu Ling: "..."

It's okay, it's good that the child is lively again, it's just that he seems a little off.

“However, your world has ultimately been affected by this war.” Kaname Madoka came over and answered helplessly, “It’s nothing serious, just that the Ring of Fate has been shaken. When everything is over, those who have a causal relationship with you will take back all the memories that were taken away before.”

Jianggu Ling: "..."

Homura Akemi laughed even harder: "Oh dear, Mr. Furuya, you're doomed."

Rei Furuya felt the intense gazes of everyone in the Sakura team around him.

"In the end, we still cannot escape the fate of destruction..." The system, completely oblivious to the atmosphere, gave up completely and sighed at their fate.

“Let’s deal with the system first.” Rei Furuya immediately changed the subject. “The system should really be controlling a live broadcast channel, and the audience is people from other universes. I’d like to say a few words to everyone at the end.”

Homura Akemi fiddled with the red orb in her hand for a while, then pulled out a live stream interface that looked like it had a poor signal. It was showing their scene, and the screen was filled with text comments in different languages.

"Wow, everyone's so enthusiastic!" Rei Furuya's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Luckily, I understand quite a few languages, hahaha. Everyone, don't get too excited, don't cry. This is a time to be happy and celebrate, so cheer up! Yes, thank you all for your concern. We're all doing well, and we'll definitely continue to do so."

"Ah, it looks like the system signal won't last much longer. There's no time left, so let's say goodbye properly," the blond youth said with a smile.

"I don't know if you've seen 'The Truman Show'?" he suddenly said. "Of course, you are not the director who controls us. You are just like the audience in the movie, constantly having your energy drained by the director. You also experienced sadness and pain along with me, and the system absorbed a lot of your emotional power of hope and despair."

"However, this all ends here." The blond youth took a step back, smiled and waved to all the viewers in front of the screen. "Although I have experienced all sorts of difficulties, I do not regret my choice, and I am very happy to have met you all. Thank you all for your continued support, goodbye."

"If I never see you all again," he said, winking playfully, "then I wish you all a good morning, a good afternoon, a good evening, and a good night every day."

"Also, goodnight," Furuya Rei said. "May you have sweet dreams and happiness every day."

Click—

The last system was also destroyed.

The live stream has ended.
