Chapter 236 Epilogue - New World Arc (Thirty-Three)

Of course, the past is the past.

For someone like E027, the most important thing is the present moment.

Because the future has not yet happened, and perhaps... it will never happen at all.

Therefore, the only thing we can hold onto is the present moment.

Therefore, E027 has always lived in this world with the mindset that he will die at any moment.

Enjoy life to the fullest, live as you please, ignore moral and some legal constraints, and do only what you want to do.

Anyway, I don't know when I'll die.

Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe in the next second.

Everyone has a time bomb hidden inside their body.

E027 realized this much earlier and more clearly than the vast majority of people.

After an initial period of confusion, E027 quickly came to her own conclusion: rather than living in constant anxiety, it was better to honestly accept herself.

Accept the impermanence of life, accept the greed and indifference of human nature, and accept the fact that you are a good-for-nothing and pleasure-seeking bastard.

—That's good.

E027 never intended to become a good person.

After all, good people should be encouraged with good deeds.

Since the end of his life was already foreseen, there's no need for God or Goddess to call him whatever they want, or to turn around and revise or fix it.

Just get by, as long as it's not too boring.

For this reason, E027 really spent some time and effort trying to find ways to have fun.

I never expected that such a pleasant surprise would occur amidst the fun.

Fate delivered E025 to him like a handful of life-giving rain to a desert traveler parched from the scorching sun.

As for whether this coincidence is a gift from God or a hallucination during a near-death experience, who cares whether it is true or false?

Once he sees it, it's his... and can only be his.

E027 silently admired E025's dazed expression.

Although he felt somewhat dissatisfied with not being able to fully capture the boy's attention.

However, E027 understands the importance of leaving blank space.

Everything needs to be done one step at a time; one must avoid being too hasty.

Sometimes, leaving more space and room for the other party to discover and compare is far more conducive to the progress of the situation than simply blocking their view.

Because that's human nature.

The more something is unseen, intangible, and unattainable, the more it hangs in our hearts like the bright moon in the sky... so we cherish it and can't forget it.

Over time, they can even be placed on the altar and worshipped as deities.

However, if you let the other party expose the illusion from the beginning and lift the veil of moonlight, you will find that it is not so bad after all.

There's not even a need for further explanation. Once the truth is revealed, everything will naturally return to its original course... the course that E027 had already predetermined.

—What? You're asking if there are other possibilities?

It's like what if I mess up... No, that's simply impossible.

If I had to say something, it would be that E027 is incredibly confident in this regard, both about himself and the targets he chooses.

On the other hand, if you're not almost 100% sure about a plan before you implement it, why waste time on it?

As expected, things once again unfolded in the direction E027 had predicted.

Not long ago, E025 left the infirmary's medical room.

Earlier, it seems that after a period of internal struggle, the boy ultimately rejected Shen Yingxue's advances.

—That's really good.

Upon hearing the news, E027 immediately slapped the table and laughed so hard he almost fell over, tears streaming down his face.

If it weren't for the inappropriateness of his status, he would have really wanted to see for himself what kind of embarrassed expression would appear on that usually arrogant face.

However, E027 had more important things to do than gloat, such as personally welcoming his lovely new roommate.

—His dearest E025.

Just imagining that scene makes E027 feel happy.

Besides, if you put yourself in their shoes, these teenagers should be at a time when they need comfort and companionship... right?

Um……

Although there were slight deviations in the actual process, it turned out to be a lucky accident in the end.

After all, compared to weak and feeble comfort and companionship, a brutal and satisfying act of violence will obviously leave a more lasting impression on the person involved.

—So, the relationship has taken a step closer.

I was truly happy, and I was truly in pain.

This should be the most painful price E027 has ever paid to achieve its goal. Of course, compared to the expected gains, it is obviously insignificant.

However, since things have already come to this, withdrawing some interest in advance... shouldn't be too much to ask, right?

While thinking this in your mind, your body has already taken action without any burden.

E027 moved with ease.

First the chin, then the lips, then the hidden area behind the ears, concealed in the hair and shadows... until the soft nape of the neck was completely grasped in the palm of the hand.

E027 immediately felt the boy's entire body tremble.

As if encouraged by something, E027 observed the other party's reaction with increasing interest.

Whether it's the thin shoulders that hunch over like a startled bird, or the tiny bumps that suddenly appear on the smooth skin, E027 finds them irresistible.

How about trying your own blood?

He licked the corner of his lips, which still bore traces of dried blood, and made a suggestion with a smile.

As the boy above seemed to awaken from a dream, his expression a mixture of wariness and surprise, E027 pressed down on his shoulder and naturally kissed those pale lips...

E027 already had an advantage in physical fitness.

Moreover, after such a one-sided barrage of violence, E025 was clearly exhausted, as evidenced by the boy's sluggish reaction.

E027, on the other hand, was quite the opposite. Although he received a good beating, it was mostly superficial injuries. The dizziness he initially experienced due to the blood had also largely subsided.

Therefore, achieving unilateral suppression against the E025 at this point is virtually effortless.

The problem is, it seems that it was somewhat too risky.

It's not about E027 as a person, but specifically about certain parts of his body that have exceeded the required level of excitement.

The consequence of E027's overconfidence was that he was severely punished by the boy who came to his senses.

A simple move to defeat the enemy, striking directly at their vitals.

It's simple, effective, and deals extremely high damage.
