Chapter 651 Ending: Confusion

Nan Xiangzhu knew that he should not act on impulse.

All he could do was wait for the result. After all, with the power of the Yinan family, they couldn't accomplish something that was clearly beyond their capabilities no matter how hard they tried.

Nan Xiangzhu had a feeling that things would not be simple.

The person who took Qiao Xi away was very suspicious, and this was not something that an ordinary police officer could handle.

An investigation has been launched on the scene.

This incident was classified as a terrorist attack, and the culprit was obvious. It was undoubtedly the person who left on the helicopter, but they did not have the other party's identity information, so they still needed to track him down.

"Brother Li, look at this...?"

A gloved junior approached him, carrying a small bag containing a small, inconspicuous object they had found at the scene. However, after comparison, the fingerprints on it didn't match those of the invited attendees.

and……

They checked the fingerprints on it.

One of them turned out to be Qiao Xi, who was confirmed missing last month. The information and photos retrieved from the database were exactly the same as the woman in the footage taken by the media.

Now, the identity can be confirmed.

Qiao Xi really came here, and that Qiao Xi was the missing Qiao Xi. The case finally had a breakthrough. Obviously, this was an important clue.

I immediately understood what to do.

The man called Brother Li looked serious and began to make arrangements. This was also thanks to the clues provided by Mr. Nan. After all, he was the first discoverer of the previous murder case and a friend of the missing Qiao Xi.

Naturally, they were also paying attention to Nan Xiangzhu.

I also told you that if Nan Xiangzhu has any clues, don't worry and just contact them.

After all, even Qiao Xi disappeared.

Who knows if they will attack Nan Xiangzhu and the photographer who discovered the scene together? They also sent people to stay by Nan Xiangzhu's side to protect him for a while.

This matter cannot be suppressed at all.

The incident caused such a huge commotion that it was reported by various media outlets, but this result fulfilled Zhi Liao's wish.

He wants to show off.

He wanted everyone to be in the spotlight, to accept the reign of terror called absolute strength, to start laying out all the ambushes that had been laid before, and to cover everything under his shadow.

When the police found that there was a problem with his identity.

More confusing and complicated clues also emerged at this time. There were bombs buried underground in the city center that were enough to cause its complete fall, and there was more than one such location.

Some big crocodiles mysteriously disappeared.

A certain military-industrial enterprise was deserted overnight, leaving only an empty building, and the rest was nowhere to be found.

Some talented people in various fields have disappeared.

at the same time.

The prison on the deserted island that held the most vicious criminals was hijacked. All the chaotic things happened unexpectedly like a ignited bomb, making it so difficult to keep up and there was no time to react.

Regime shaken.

The bearded senior officials in the Senate were so angry that their faces turned ashen, and they puffed their beards and glared, shouting at the top of their lungs to arrange for the people underground to go out and confront them.

The storm is coming.

The fuse of all this chaos had been lit long ago.

The king got the crown he had always dreamed of, the queen who would accompany him and witness the prosperity of the world, and everything that symbolized power. His greedy ambitions and desires were fully exposed.

Zhi Liao put Qiao Xi under house arrest.

He needs to fight on that battlefield, and the woman behind him only needs to stay behind him and wait for him quietly.

Even under house arrest.

This is not Zhi Liao's base camp, but the people guarding Qiao Xi are fully armed, layer upon layer, and the security is extremely tight.

She was like a princess locked in a tower.

She could only waste her time here helplessly, waiting for the prince to come and save her.

Even at this time, he didn't let up on you.

The Little Black Cat System looked at the virtual screen and noticed the fully armed personnel patrolling back and forth outside the house, and couldn't help but sigh.

Stop Liao's so-called trust.

It's really the least valuable.

He said she was the only one he could have, and gave her the most expensive dress. He protected this beautiful gem of a woman by wrapping her in expensive velvet, yet he also put layer upon layer of shackles on her.

Is this his love?

Suffocating captivity.

Qiao Xi sat on a chair by the window and looked at the patrolmen outside. There was no communication equipment in the place where she was staying, so she had no chance to contact the outside world, let alone pass on any information.

The outside world was in turmoil due to Zhi Liao's attack.

The television stations in the area had long been hacked, broadcasting announcements about the next operation. Everyone was on high alert, shrouded in a deep, oppressive cloud.

The girl in a white dress standing barefoot by the window was looking out.

No longer blue.

Only gray haze clouds remained.

Her white ankles were as white as jade, without any trace of the injuries she had sustained.

Qiao Xi sighed slightly. This small country was in turmoil and had to send out troops to resist terrorists from abroad.

There has been too much bad news in a short period of time.

The people are shrouded in fear. The sudden changes make everyone worry about their future lives.

Sudden attack.

This also caused the development of the situation to exceed expectations. This was no longer a situation that could be resolved according to normal procedures. Zhi Liao's appearance was too sudden and caught everyone off guard.

[The probability of this country's destruction is 50%, but there are variables]

The Little White Cat System looked at the calculated data and said this. This is originally a virtual country in the game world. If Qiao Xi maintains the status quo and does not intervene, it will remain the same.

Although.

She left clues at the previous scene, and the police did find out that there was something wrong with Zhi Liao's identity before he carried out the attack.

What a pity.

Before any arrests could be made, the plan to stop Liao had already begun.

Listening to the news reported by the Little White Cat System one after another, Qiao Xi's face showed a rare look of worry.

【What's wrong? 】

The little white cat, who was keenly aware of her mood changes, also looked at her curiously.

Now Qiao Xi's emotional perception is very weak.

It is also very happy to see such emotional changes in its host.

Qiao Xi replied, stroking his chin.

[I was just thinking, since Zhi Liao released someone from prison, I know it must be Ce. But...it seems like Ce wasn't the only one sent in before?]

The Little White Cat System nodded after hearing this.

[Of course, there’s also that—]

Just as it was about to say the name, it suddenly noticed that several life breaths were rapidly disappearing outside the room where Qiao Xi was, and the little white cat system paused.

Then it looked at the virtual screen.

Qiao Xi's attention was attracted by the movement outside the window. The chaotic gunshots tore through the silence, and noisy shouts were heard.

Caught off guard.

The door of the room where Qiao Xi was was broken open, and a fully armed man belonging to Zhi Liao walked in with a gun and grabbed her arm roughly.

"Move them away quickly!"

They stayed here on Zhi Liao's orders to monitor Qiao Xi, but also to protect Qiao Xi.

Being pulled so roughly.

Qiao Xi didn't even have time to put on her shoes before she was dragged out forcefully.

There was constant gunfire ahead.

Just as Qiao Xi left the house, the building behind her shook violently, and then quickly deflated like a deflated ball, and the walls collapsed.

The man who chased her out had a flustered tone, but he still quickly gave orders to the people around him.

"Drive quickly! Contact the boss!"

"No, no, the signal has been cut off! And all our equipment has been destroyed..."

Came the trembling voice of another terrorist.

But before they could get scared, there was a loud bang and the sound of a bullet bursting out from the muzzle of a gun broke through the air.

"Well……!"

Qiao Xi clearly saw that the man who was pulling her was shaking slightly, and the bulletproof vest he was wearing was dented.

But this is just the beginning.

The bullets came from nowhere, dense and compact, and several rounds hit the flaws continuously. The man dodged in a hurry, pushing Qiao Xi and throwing her into the car.

It was at this time.

"Swish!" A bullet broke through the air and accurately pierced the back of his neck.

Qiao Xi, who had just been forced into a car by terrorists.

She curled up in the corner and watched the person who brought her in fall to the ground.

The driver was horrified.

The moment the man outside fell, he quickly stepped on the accelerator and was about to rush out with Qiao Xi.

However.

No matter what he did, the car didn't respond at all and wouldn't start.

"Move! Quick!"

His angry roar echoed in the car, sounding anxious and shrill.

But that man could attack them.

They must have made preparations in advance to cut off their retreat. Qiao Xi looked outside and saw the figure gradually approaching. Her heart began to beat fast.

Is it nervousness? Is it fear?

Or excited?

The lean figure was like an agile cheetah, moving nimbly amid the chaotic sound of bullets. Every time he flashed past, the two guns in his hands fired bullets to the left and right, accurately taking away lives every time.

Amidst the hail of bullets.

His fluttering clothes were stained with blood that had splashed from someone unknown.

The man's scarlet pupils danced with a violent and cruel pleasure. It was the extreme excitement brought about by being in a killing state. He was indulging in it and never tired of it. He enjoyed the ability brought by his superhuman body and shot anyone who tried to stop him.

until.

There was no one in front of him.

The man hooked the two guns between his slender fingers and spun them flexibly, then returned to their original positions.

He turned his head to look at the car where Qiao Xi was.

The man in the driver's seat was already panicking and he gritted his teeth and fired wildly with all his might, but such a chaotic attack was ineffective against him.

Wait until the bullets are exhausted.

Knowing that he had no chance of winning, the man driving the car could no longer bear it. He pushed open the car door and rushed out holding a military dagger.

However.

In the eyes of men, such behavior is just seeking death.

The fight lasted only a few brief moments.

The military dagger was snatched away by that person, becoming the lethal weapon that slit his throat. Every step that person took, a clean, steady pace, was like stepping on a path to the throne surrounded by blood and slaughter, step by step towards the prince he longed to approach.

“Click—”

The car door was opened.

The scarlet pupils of the fifth night turned slightly, and at a glance he saw the barefoot girl in a white dress curled up in the corner.

"Miss."

He curved his eyes in delight, revealing a smile as calm yet gentle as the cold moon. Hiding his pupils that were trembling with excitement and filled with murderous intent, he revealed a gentleness at this moment.

Just like the madman who was so excited about killing that he couldn't control himself at all.

Compared to them, it seems like they are not the same person at all.

The Fifth Night always seemed willing to play the false image of gentleness in front of her, not letting her feel scared or frightened.

He leaned over.

He carried the trembling girl out of the car. Even if it was fake, this fatal tenderness and warmth could bring hope and comfort in the most desperate and fearful moments.

It's like redemption.

As long as you see a ray of light in the dark world, you will want to reach out and try your best to grab it no matter what.

Even if it means breaking into pieces.

But once there is a chance to escape from the darkness and get out of the swamp, who would be willing to let go?

Take her away from Zhi Liao.

Save her from the devil's chains, her wings about to be broken.

Even though I know this tenderness is fake.

Even though she knew that once she fell into it, it would lead to the loss of control. But at this moment, there was no doubt that he was her salvation.

Don't think too much.

A short-lived, dependable salvation.

The fifth night's body still smelled of blood and gunpowder.

However, when he hugged Qiao Xi into his solid chest, he felt an endless sense of security. He never dreamed that the person who would appear here and rescue her would be this person.

I couldn't tell whether it was fear or excitement after escaping death.

The girl's eyes were red.

Her pale and trembling fingertips involuntarily clenched the man's clothes in front of his chest. She tried to calm the fear in her emotions and spoke in a trembling voice.

"I...I'm not your mistress. I stopped hiring you a long time ago."

The fifth night heard her words without any concern.

He caressed Qiao Xi's slender figure, his hot palm resting on her back. He tilted his head and said, "No need to hire me. I'm your natural believer. No matter where you are in this world, I will find you."

The way he said this.

It seems to overlap with a scene from the past.

At that time, she was taken abroad, isolated and helpless, and in deep despair. It seemed that someone had suddenly attacked and rescued her from the siege.

yes.

How could I forget? I had done exactly the same thing on the fifth night, traveling alone, making a ridiculous journey outside the country, breaking into Yu Jinnian's base alone, and finding her.

Just like what was said on the fifth night.

He kept his promise. No matter where Qiao Xi was, he would always be by her side when she was in despair.

Even he later.

He was sent in by Qiao Xi himself, but if that was Qiao Xi's wish, he would not go against it.

He would love to be there.

It was because he knew that Qiao Xi was living safely somewhere in the world, until the building was attacked, and he sensed a crisis.

I originally planned to leave immediately.

But someone has to take the responsibility of releasing the criminals.

The fifth night knew who they were trying to save. He also knew that person. He was in a coma most of the time and looked confused, like a person without a soul.

I heard that his name is Ce.

These were the people whom these people once followed without hesitation, but the adult they followed betrayed them for some reason.

There will be a rescue plan.

On the one hand, should we bring that person back to the organization and tear him into pieces?

Probably.

These people outside the country are very harsh on traitors, even if that person was once their leader. Betrayal from the leader is naturally the most unforgivable and may be punished with death penalty.

"What do you want to do now, miss?"

The fifth night looked at the girl in his arms who had calmed down and asked in a low voice.

He has no standards of good and evil.

All his behavioral principles are centered around Qiao Xi, and the only thing he considers is whether Qiao Xi wants him to do so and whether Qiao Xi will let him do so.

He devoted all his loyalty and paranoia to Qiao Xi.

Together with his unknown possessiveness and the love that he has not yet realized, his world revolves around Qiao Xi, but Wu Ye does not realize that he is in love with her.

after all.

He couldn't understand this feeling, nor this concept, so he classified this emotion as something else.

The fifth night only knows.

When he touched Qiao Xi, the murderous intent that was raging wildly in his body calmed down, allowing him to be pulled back from the uncontrollable pleasure of killing that made him feel like he was almost being swallowed.

This is special to him.

It's not that I suppress it with drugs, but when I see her or touch her, I will naturally regain my sanity.

But the fifth night is also roughly clear.

If Qiao Xi is hurt, it will also induce his brutal bloodthirsty factor to become agitated, and he will fall into an extreme state of rampage.

Who would be so moved?

There is only Qiao Xi, so to him, this person is special and important to him.

This is the fifth night after I thought about it.

The only conclusion he came to, the concept he understood. He didn't know what love was or wasn't, but he knew Qiao Xi was very important to him.

"I want to go back and hand in the evidence."

The girl in his arms said this, and when she looked at him with her clear eyes, there was uneasiness, retreat, but... also doubt.

Is she doubting him?

Doubt whether he would refuse, doubt whether he would betray, doubt...he would never let her leave?

The fifth night chuckled.

"Miss, you still don't realize that you are the only one I can be loyal to. As long as it is your wish, I will certainly fulfill it."

He said this.

Go to the side of the completely collapsed house.

Qiao Xi remained silent the entire time. She lowered her head and eyes slightly, as if trying to figure out Fifth Night's true attitude.

The man was in a good mood.

Giving her time to think, he also started the vehicle over there and headed towards the center of the chaos.

The Little White Cat System also found some free time and continued the previous topic with Qiao Xi.

[One of the variables in the 50% is that even if you don't intervene, there will be some people who want to get you and will find ways to destroy him.]

This messed up world.

It's not just the collapse of order and the collapse of rules. It's also the evil caused by desire that has gathered from all the previous collapsed worlds.

And the Little White Cat System had already said it.

This world will integrate the collapsed worlds that were previously under its control.

As long as there is no conflict in world views.

Anyone could be here, anyone could become that variable. Qiao Xi was here just because of those who were driven crazy by evil desires.

And those, more or less, are related to her.

Just like...

In its collapsed script, countless people driven by evil and with various abilities will continue to fight for the only existence they want in their hearts.

[Also, host...]

The Little White Cat System's hesitant voice sounded.

[What's wrong?] I leaned back in my seat and closed my eyes to rest, but in my mind I was continuing the conversation with the little white cat.

[Never mind, it's nothing, it's just some side quests, you can read it after you finish it.]

The little white cat sighed and said nothing more.

In the early stages of the Honkai Impact 3rd, there were side quests. Later, with the introduction of the Black Cat system, the quest format changed, so the side quests naturally stopped showing up.

But not showing does not mean it does not exist.

Each corresponding world has a separate side quest belonging to the character, which is used to help Qiao Xi change her mood after the main quest is completed.

Otherwise the atmosphere would be too depressing.

It was also a little worried about Qiao Xi's mental state as she was doing tasks continuously. Sometimes being too depressed would have the opposite effect.

That's why we need to relax in moderation.

Those side quests will not affect the main storyline, but are just a relaxation benefit for players, which is to go back to the past to save a character in the script, or to extend the story based on the ending and develop a certain ending with a certain character.

Qiao Xi didn't do much on these side quests.

【I see】

Qiao Xi agreed to the Little White Cat System's words. She also knew the importance of combining work and rest.

Ear.

It was the noisy sound of the crowd. Qiao Xi opened her eyes and looked at the scene outside the car window. She didn't know when the Fifth Night had brought her to the city.

The street is holding bags.

People are frantically buying and hoarding supplies.

A giant advertising TV on a building.

What is being played at this moment is the countdown to the next terrorist act. The bright red numbers are foreshadowing the coming of the next terrorist act as time passes.

No one knows where.

No one knows what kind of crisis will happen in the next second.

This fragile city has long been plunged into chaos. Just as Zhi Liao, who stands behind the pinnacle of power, wished, the so-called truth of human nature that he wanted to see was thus revealed and awakened by him in an extremely cruel way.

Fifth Night knew where she wanted to go.

When you reach the location of the highest authority, you will find it is surrounded by layers of security.

However, when they watched the surveillance video and saw the tired-looking woman sitting in the passenger seat, they were stunned.

This face.

No one would fail to recognize it.

In the video that went viral online, the face that appeared next to the man who was wanted in real life.

The one who should have been classified as missing.

Qiao Xi?

The person who saw the surveillance reported it immediately, and the higher-ups attached great importance to it and immediately sent people to stop the car.

They were heavily armed.

Looking at the car that suddenly appeared here, we were on high alert.

"...Qiao Xi?"

The man in the lead, when he saw the woman getting off the car, saw this face again and felt as if he were in another world.

I thought it was a long time ago.

But in reality, it was only two years later that he saw this woman again. Initially, it was their special forces who rescued this person from abroad, and now he saw her again.

and.

Next to her, there is... the person who should have stayed in prison and continued to receive mental treatment.

Right now.

But here he was, on the fifth night beside her.

They had obtained this person's information. He was unwilling to cooperate with treatment before, but when talking about Qiao Xi, he agreed.

Asked to meet Qiao Xi.

The higher-ups agreed to this request.

They also discovered that this mentally handicapped person's actions were all modeled after Qiao Xi. Therefore, the reason he appeared abroad and killed so many smugglers was because of Qiao Xi.

The criminal leader Yu Jinnian will be seriously injured and captured alive.

It’s also because of Qiao Xi.

Even now, after being released from prison by those people, his target has not changed and is still Qiao Xi.

This is really...

"A loyal hound."

The tall and strong man who had met Qiao Xi grinned, and the two looked at each other, both of them understanding each other tacitly.

Of course Qiao Xi knew who he was talking about.

The girl did curl her eyes, though: "But it's easy to lose control. It's hard to hide your wolf nature, and you won't always obey the rules."

Upon hearing this, Diwu Ye looked at her.

He just maintained his usual gentle smile, making him unpredictable.

The captain knew it when he saw the fifth night.

If it weren't for this out-of-control madman who found Qiao Xi, rescued her and brought her here, the fierce battle they would have faced next would have been really difficult.

"This is his plan."

Qiao Xi fumbled around, turned up the inside of her long skirt sleeve, and took out a chip.

It's obvious who he is.

The man's eyes immediately lit up with passion. It was the same when he saved Qiao Xi. That determined girl had used some unknown means to find out and get hold of all of Yu Jinnian's things.

The technology she possesses.

If she used it improperly, she would have gone down the path of crime. But she didn't do that, as long as she had access to Zhi Liao's electronic devices and things he had used.

It can play the greatest role.

Being next to Zhi Liao and being closest to the man, she can take advantage of the situation to find out everything about Zhi Liao.

A watch that automatically refreshes the time.

When Qiao Xi was wearing it, she analyzed it and found the locations of the controllers of several bombs that the watch was connected to.

By Zhi Liao's side.

Countless times, when the man finished with her and fell asleep, she concealed her breath a little to let Zhiliao sleep more soundly, and then she began to check the cell phone that Zhiliao never let her touch but would only appear when Zhiliao was around.

Isn’t it amazing?

It's like checking on your lover.

A lot of information can be found in the mobile phone. Zhiliao often changes his number, but he has never lost contact with her.

It is said that Zhi Liao installed a positioning system in her mobile phone.

Able to detect her at any time.

Why couldn't she just follow the trend and find Zhi Liao?

Every time.

All of these were accumulated over time. The clues she obtained at the cost of her own life were gradually accumulated and eventually became the key breakthrough.

Her body was sinking at the same time as Zhi Liao.

Weaving tempting sweet words, creating a gentle paradise that will make people fall in love with it, coaxing oneself, deceiving the truth, in one business performance after another.

Make the most of it.

Step by step, the arrogant man thought he was in control of the situation and that he had easily gotten her, but he didn't know that she was also dangerous.

Already in the dark.

Time and again, he thrust his poisoned fangs towards the man's unprotected neck. He had hidden it until now, but one strike was enough to kill him.

The reason why Liao was defeated was because of...

He thought he knew her well enough and understood everything she cared about, and that keeping this unstable factor by his side to monitor her was his greatest confidence.

Unfortunately, unstable factors will always remain unstable.

If you say.

Now Qiao Xi is standing on Zhi Liao's side, so what she has to do is to destroy all people and things that may threaten her, no matter how weak or insignificant that person is.

Anything that could threaten her.

She makes everything that has the possibility disappear.

Zhi Liao did not do so.

He felt that she was a dodder that needed to be dependent on others to survive, whose mind was completely consumed by love, who was juggling between men and who only knew how to pursue excitement and have fun.

But she is such a woman who only knows how to deal with men.

It paralyzed his nerves without him realizing it.

He almost fell into despair and forgot that Qiao Xi was a red rose with thorns. Zhi Liao believed that Yu Jinnian's destruction was Ce's handiwork, and Ce was willing to fall into the trap in order to save Qiao Xi.

The historical materials within the organization he found also showed this.

Ce attacked Yu Jinnian at that time.

It’s because of Qiao Xi.

Zhi Liao couldn't help but wonder if the emotionless former leader had truly fallen for love. He had built a life of renown, but gave it all up because of a woman's foolishness.

He just thought it was funny.

But he wouldn't do that.

He wanted the woman, and he would not let go of everything. Zhi Liao did it, keeping Qiao Xi by his side. Similarly, his plan went smoothly as he expected.

At the same time, the crime is confirmed.

"We are short of manpower now, you...protect her."

After solemnly handing the chip to his subordinate, the man fixed his gaze on Fifth Night and said this.

The latter just nodded and smiled without saying anything.

Even if he was not told so, Diwu Ye would stay by Qiao Xi's side all the time.

The Führer has been placed under house arrest.

Those people in the Senate were divided into several factions. Some of them had ulterior motives and even began to join forces with the Gu family, hoping to get a piece of the pie in this chaos.

Some people accept the temptation.

Someone is secretly working together to reach an agreement.

All of this was caused by Zhi Liao, a hidden danger buried in this small country. These contradictions would eventually erupt, but now, with the appearance of a terrorist, their desires were ignited.

What a ridiculous situation.

The ancient family that stood at the top and was born by sucking their blood has now become a sharp blade, inserted into their bloody wounds.

Times should have changed long ago.

What ancient families, what branches of the main family, these things from the old times should have disappeared long ago, and this country should have been reborn long ago.

"Be careful in everything."

Qiao Xi watched the figure go away and couldn't help but sigh. Just when she was feeling a little worried, a pair of hands suddenly wrapped around her back.

It was the fifth night that held her.

Filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, mixed with his strong wild breath, it filled the man's scarlet pupils, and revealed a subtle possessiveness in the eyes.

"He told me to protect you. Does that mean my presence by your side is acknowledged?"

It seems to be a joy that comes from the heart.

His eyes were filled with a pure smile that Qiao Xi had never seen before. It was not the false gentleness he had pretended to show in order to please her.

Qiao Xi was slightly stunned.

Just like this, can Wu Ye be so happy if someone recognizes him and lets him stay by her side?

Perhaps it is not difficult to understand.

The fact that Wu Ye was with her had always been opposed. No one would allow him to stay with Qiao Xi despite his mental disorder. But now, his existence was recognized by those who were once hostile to him, and some even hoped that he would stay by Qiao Xi's side to protect her.

For the fifth night.

It should be special, right?

"Well, I guess so." Qiao Xi nodded after coming to the conclusion, stood on tiptoe in his arms, raised her hand, and rubbed Diwu Ye's head.

Like rewarding a well-behaved puppy.

However, just the active touch from Qiao Xi was enough to make him happy.

The rising feeling of joy.

He also hid Wu Ye's obsessive possessiveness and blind greed for her. All the abnormal pathologies and emotions called defects that should not be possessed by normal people were carefully and cleverly hidden by him.

He knew that Qiao Xi knew his true face.

But even so.

In front of Qiao Xi, he still wanted to play the role that would not annoy her or make her feel scared.

"Cough, cough cough!"

Some people from the logistics department who stayed behind, when they noticed that Diwu Ye was about to bend down and kiss the back of the girl's neck, quickly coughed twice to show that they were still there.

No wonder.

They had also heard about this madman from the minister, saying that it was difficult for him to understand the world that only followed one person.

This... isn't this just...

Isn't that the kind that everyone understands? It's this kind of mentally defective person who is more pathological than the average person.

"Well, Miss Qiao, please stay here first. It's safe here."

The man said so.

Qiao Xi also pushed away the man who was rubbing against her neck.

The fifth night was somewhat dissatisfying.

However, he still casually straightened his collar and stood beside Qiao Xi.

The girl responded to their words.

She followed them into the agency, and Diwu Ye followed closely behind her, watching her thick hair swaying gently.

Time waits for no one.

Before the next twenty-four-hour countdown ends and a terrorist attack against them breaks out, they must capture Zhi Liao and prevent the tragedy from happening.

Here.

It was a matter of life and death for them, and there was nothing Qiao Xi could do.

"Miss, have a good rest. You are very tired."

On the fifth night, he sat beside her, looking at the tiredness between her brows, and a hint of not-so-obvious pity flashed across the depths of his eyes.

He will never forget the uniqueness of this person.

It was a figure that was engraved deep in his memory at a single glance, not because of her appearance or other admirable abilities.

But it’s the person Qiao Xi.

Struggling in decadence, ordinary and difficult, a resolute and strong soul wants to hold on to everything and refuse to give up.

Even coming here.

I met her who had no memory of the past, yet she was still the same as before.

The fifth night imitated her previous behavior.

He stroked Qiao Xi's head and let her lean on him, enjoying this brief moment of tranquility.

Will he be Qiao Xi's final destination?

Won't.

He is not someone who can settle down. He knows that there is a natural brutality and bloodlust in his body, and he may lose control at any time and place, and he will not become a so-called peaceful haven.

And this is destined to happen.

Qiao Xi only stayed by his side temporarily.

As time passed, unknowingly, on the fifth night, Qiao Xi could only sense the even breathing sounds coming from beside her, and fell asleep.

This moment.

Wu Ye inexplicably felt that at this moment, Qiao Xi seemed to have gone to a place very far away from him.

He withdrew his gaze.

He carried the girl horizontally onto the bed in the room.

When Qiao Xi's consciousness returned to the spiritual space, he opened the virtual screen and began to search for something the moment his consciousness body condensed.

What happened? What happened?

The little white cat system came over and watched Qiao Xi pull up the footage from Yu Zhi's side.

The virtual screen is displayed.

Yu Zhi, with a cold expression, stood downstairs with the other members of his boy band. Foreign police officers called out into the intercom, the air cushions deployed, and everyone nervously stared at the figure above.

Standing next to the building.

The one who shed silent tears was Gan Youmeng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Qiao Xi only knew.

She followed Yu Zhi abroad. As for what happened between her and Yu Zhi, Qiao Xi did not have the extra time and energy to pay attention to it.

At this moment, Gan Youmeng was standing on the top of the building.

The original expression on her face was no longer there, only a pure expression remained, as if she was crazy and desperate for love.

But Qiao Xi understood.

That expression is definitely not love, nor is it any touching and sincere emotion.

That's risking your life.

She wanted to use this as a price to exchange for something, something important to her.

What does she want?

Her gaze made it clear to everyone.

"Brother Yuzhi..." The voice that came out from those trembling lips was foolish, just like the creepy cold smile on her cheek.

It's scary.

The photographers who were following around to film the live broadcast of the super popular boy band were recording everything that was happening in front of the camera.

"Joshua..."

The teammates next to him couldn't help but look at Yu Zhi.

They all have sasaeng fans.

More or less, there will always be some crazy people in this world who dig into their privacy, see what they are like in private, and even delusionally develop a more special relationship with them.

Madness grew in Gan Youmeng's eyes.

She felt unsatisfied.

Very dissatisfied.

She chased Yu Zhi and wanted to go abroad with him, but he casually rejected her. But she didn't want to give up. What else did she have left? She only had Yu Zhi.

Qiao Xi is missing.

That was the best opportunity. Since Qiao Xi was not by Yu Zhi's side, she was the only one who could have Yu Zhi.

She won't miss it.

Yu Zhi also seemed helpless, so when he met her, he would more or less indulge her willfulness as before and treat her as before.

Gan Youmeng could see it.

There was always a distant tenderness and helplessness in Yu Zhi's eyes when he looked at her, and in his interactions with her, although sometimes it was even irritability.

but……

Yu Zhi was not annoyed with her.

Once you know this, you will know that Gan Youmeng understands that she is needed, and once she grasps this light, she will never let it go.

To prove.

She was special to Yu Zhi, so she was even bolder to approach him, again and again.

Until the temptation piled up deeper and deeper.

The feeling of uneasiness grew stronger and stronger, reaching a level that even she could not bear, the kind of torture that felt like she was about to lose something at any moment.

She exploded.

She wanted to get it, she wanted to prove it, she wanted to confirm that she was special, unique, and an unchanging desire for Yu Zhi.

What can restrain her?

As long as Yu Zhi can say in front of everyone that he loves her, that he is willing to accept her, and that she is the only one by his side.

It goes beyond the boundaries of what fans are.

She became more and more suspicious. She didn't want to be thought of as Yu Zhi's fan. She wanted that person to declare that she was special and unique.

She got one of the male leads.

so……

She has become a real heroine.

"This guy is really...crazy!" Yu Zhi's teammates beside him could no longer control their emotions, but the idol still had to care about his expression under the camera.

so.

After hurriedly saying this, they just looked at Gan Youmeng on the roof with anger on their faces.

People from the agency had already arrived.

We are negotiating and trying to find ways to save people.

But Gan Youmeng insisted that Yu Zhi say he loved her, that Yu Zhi should come to pick her up, and that Yu Zhi should hold her hand and come down.

"Then let me go."

Yu Zhi looked at those people who were worried about him, and pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a somewhat bitter smile.

The fans who were watching the live broadcast also felt a pang of fear in their hearts.

For no reason, everyone started to worry.

More and more people were condemning Gan Youmeng's crazy behavior in the barrage. The company was worried about Yu Zhi's safety, but the boy looked calm.

Followed by a photographer.

After listening to the instructions of some professionals, he took the elevator to the top floor, walked out and stepped onto the roof.

"Don't bring anyone here."

Gan Youmeng stood on the edge, looking at the photographer behind Yu Zhi and the professional rescuers who followed Yu Zhi up.

The two men looked very unhappy.

But there was no other way, Yu Zhi had to go over and get close to her by himself.

Step after step.

Until they were face to face, there was only the last meter between them.

"Brother Yuzhi, you treat me..." An uneasy look appeared on Gan Youmeng's face, as if she was longing for something, and she cast a hopeful look at him.

"I?"

The corners of Yuzhi's mouth curled up, and he raised a charming smile that was as dazzling and bright as the sun.

Emotions surged in the man's eyes.

Beneath the seemingly gentle and calm surface, there lies a cold darkness that almost swallows Gan Youmeng whole.

He just felt bored.

Just like the woman who approached him without permission, and the girl group member who came to him to show her affection after the performance, he had long forgotten her name and casually gave her the ribbon he had folded, but the woman stayed with a look of joy on her face.

And then sometime.

When the woman came to him crying, he became impatient and drove her away.

Finally, the news that appeared on the hot searches was about that person’s suicide.

That's ridiculous.

It's really cheap to end your life for such a trivial matter. Some people exhaust all their energy just to live.

But some people can easily end their own lives.

He will not feel guilty.

Ultimately, it is those who approach him without permission, have hopes for him, and have beautiful fantasies about him who are wrong.

Why should he be what those people imagine him to be?

Why does he have to accept the love and kindness of those people? Can't he be himself?

Just like now.

The woman in front of him, who desperately wanted him and wanted to get his so-called love, was just like those people before her. She only saw his surface and had no idea what kind of person he really was.

It's really... boring.

So Yu Zhi still walked out, in order to maintain her pitiful image of him in Gan Youmeng's eyes.

He used the softest voice.

The most peaceful attitude, the most perfect state, and acting skills, whispering the thoughts buried deep in his heart.

"Who do you think you are? Disgusting, dirty, self-aware trash that only makes me sick. I'm wasting my time with you purely because I'm too bored, and you happened to be a little like her back then."

Yes, this is what he really thinks.

It was also because of his bad nature and his terribleness. All of this, the only one who knew everything about him was Qiao Xi.

Anyone else?

Look, you are greedy for the fake him and still want to ask for things from him. Are you worthy?

The man's lips had less pronounced ridges.

His eyes revealed a worry, and although he was as gentle and innocent as a rabbit, the worry he showed was unbearable.

Yet the words that came from those lips.

But they were sharp blades that cut Gan Youmeng's heart.

Gan Youmeng's emotions were completely out of control at this time. She screamed, "You don't love me! You don't love me at all. You have never loved me!"

She said so.

The memories of the past in her mind became clearer and clearer, every little detail of her time with Yu Zhi, the man's tenderness towards her, and his occasional teasing.

And that pair.

Occasionally he showed a hint of nostalgia, as if he was looking at someone's shadow through her.

So that's how it is.

What she thought would be her last hope turned out to be the final blow of despair. Gan Youmeng took a step back.

Yu Zhi looked at her.

Is there even a tiny bit of her worry and anxiety shown by the man?

No.

Gan Youmeng should have known about it. When filming that program, the staff in the audience were watching the news and exclaiming in low voices, and discussing it.

She was also in the audience.

But I could clearly see that he was slightly stiff on the stage.

Are you worried?

He was worried about the missing person whose life or death was unknown. But he was clearly present when he learned about Qiao Xi's disappearance.

But he didn't go looking for it like others.

Instead, I chose to accept it.

Speaking of love? Does he love Qiao Xi? Gan Youmeng thinks not. Yu Zhi only loves himself. He is selfish and the only person he loves is himself.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to remain indifferent.

Maybe he might have some feelings for Qiao Xi, but it was far impossible for them to be stronger than his own.

What about her?

Not to mention, so what on earth did she expect from this selfish man?

The moment you missed a step and fell down.

Gan Youmeng suddenly had an idea that she understood everything, but this thought was too short-lived. Her body had already fallen heavily onto the air cushion, and she fell into a coma due to the strong impact at that moment.

Her farce ended at this moment.

In the end, Gan Youmeng got no one.

Qiao Xi turned off the virtual screen and suddenly felt a little bored. The little white cat system observed her expression and spoke cautiously.

[Host, the mission is completed. Do you still want to stay? ]

The rest.

It's nothing more than some cleanup work. Those people will not fail in the last twenty-four hours. When Zhi Liao finds out that she is missing, he will never be able to trust anyone again because of Qiao Xi's betrayal again.

As for the fifth night.

He will also return to where he was supposed to go, but Yu Zhi, the eldest son of the Yu family behind him, had already embarked on the road to destruction when he chose to participate.

Since he is not too deeply involved with the Yu family, he may be spared.

However, he will also lose his identity as a member of the Yu family.

Not to mention the Xi family and the Yan family.

I'm afraid that as Qiao Xi wishes, all the illegal things they have done will be revealed, and the Gu family will be destroyed.

It's watching the world end.

Or should I just leave and let the substitute stay here?

Qiao Xi rubbed her temples.

Her consciousness in the space was also in a translucent state, but the intermittent fragments that appeared in her mind now seemed to be trying to piece together a complete picture.

She noticed it.

Her mind was not right, and she was in a rare state. In this world, some fragments of memories that she had never thought of before were awakened.

Perhaps, she really needed to take a break.

【Let the Stand-in Witness】

Qiao Xi waved her hand, leaving only a trace of consciousness to control the substitute over there. The development of events was the same as the direction of the world seen by the Little White Cat System.

The difference is.

After waking up, Gan Youmeng lost her memory, and Yan Liang, who had lost his advantage, laughed wildly in the chaos and watched the Yan family's property being sealed off.

Does this count?

Did he win in disguise?

The order of this world will not collapse, and the result that Zhi Liao wants will never happen. The trajectory after Qiao Xi's intervention has long been determined, and it will still not be ruled by Zhi Liao.

The little white cat system looked at Qiao Xi's consciousness.

It looked at Qiao Xi's real body over there, which had no breath at all because Qiao Xi was not there. It felt Qiao Xi's mental fluctuations and suddenly became a little worried about Qiao Xi's condition.

then.

As usual, it started to change the subject.

[Host, would you like to try the side quest? It's easier and the format is more unique.]

Hear its sound.

Qiao Xi also withdrew her gaze and looked at it, feeling a little strange.

"Don't you need to help me regain my memory first?"

She was still a little curious about her own past. The Little White Cat System said it was over, but she showed no signs of recovering her memory.

What's going on?

He had a vague guess in his mind, but Qiao Xi knew that his mental state was a bit problematic, so he decided to put it aside for the time being.

[You have been working for too long and are always tense. It would be better to relax for a while.]

The little white cat system shook its head.

He handed the side story script to Qiao Xi and continued.

[These are the character's side quests. Each side quest corresponds to a love quest and a redemption quest. It depends on which one you want to go. After choosing to enter a side quest, the system will erase your memory.]

"Um?"

Suddenly hearing the Little White Cat System say this, she looked over.

"Erase the memory?"

[Yes] The little white cat system nodded.

Then continue to explain.

Because you've followed the main storyline, I'm worried that your judgments from that storyline might influence you, leading you to view certain characters with prejudice. That's why I need to erase your memories. Because in the side quests, before the events of the main storyline happened and before their hands were stained with darkness, they were innocent. That's why I need your presence to redeem them during that special period.

The Little White Cat System paused.

[Of course, there are some characters who are not completely evil. These characters generally do not need your redemption. At the same time, they will retain their previous memories, and it is equivalent to starting over with you.]

That is to say.

This is a one-on-one love storyline, just like the one about the four ferocious beasts that Qiao Xi had walked through before, and the ones about the people in the sea world.

only.

These formal branches will extend into a small world that is neither too long nor too short, depending on the characters chosen by Qiao Xi.

everything.

They will all return to the sweet and light-hearted love story before the main plot of that world happened, so Qiao Xi needs to erase her memory and eliminate the prejudices she has experienced in the main plot.

To meet that person again.

When the time is right, the memory will be freed from restrictions, which can be regarded as redemption for these people.

Look at these branches.

Qiao Xi thought about it and felt that there was indeed something wrong with her current mental state. She had been tense for too long and probably needed Tiantian to heal her.

It's just like a game where you play to improve your impressions.

It should be quite interesting?

[Oh, right, host. During the period in the branch where you had no memories, we arranged an identity and false memories for you. You wouldn't be aware of our presence unless you remembered it.]

The Little White Cat system is supplemented.

It handed the side story script to Qiao Xi. After a long silence, Qiao Xi lowered his head to look at it and began to select at random.

Branch line confirmed.

Qiao Xi's figure disappeared in the spiritual space. The little white cat system looked at the empty place where she had originally stood and sighed.

Then.

It turned and looked at the black-haired young man hiding in the shadows.

【How long are you going to keep this secret? 】

“…”

The young man said nothing, stroking his chin thoughtfully. Then, he stepped out of the shadows and looked at the little white cat.

"Then how should I tell her? Tell her that her world has long been destroyed, and even if she goes back, only despair awaits her."

【……】

The Little White Cat System fell silent for a rare moment.

How should I tell her?

Her homeland has disappeared, and the planet she once protected has turned into debris and disappeared. She has been collecting the fragments of her hometown in the vast universe, and the planet she has pieced together after exhausting all her strength is a dead star, without any sound.

Only she is alive.

Only herself.

There were many things he wanted to say, but he couldn't. The little white cat system fell silent. At this moment, the young man transformed back into his original black cat form, then used his paw to open the control panel and began to program the identity settings for Qiao Xi, who had entered the branch world.

at the same time.

At this moment, Qiao Xi, who had entered that branch world, noticed that his mind had gone blank.

Immediately following.

Something strange suddenly flooded into my mind at this moment.

Her name is Qiao Xi.

She is receiving financial support from kind people to attend college. She has no family, and her memories tell her that the world will end in a later period of time.

The end of the world... ?

When these words appeared in Qiao Xi's mind, she was a little confused, but she felt very familiar.
