“What are the negative effects?”
"What kind of negative effects...? What do you think they are?"
"Probably—a migraine, a terminal illness, or something like that..."
"Hmm, this sounds quite interesting - it has a sense of good and evil being rewarded. But, it's not -"
"So……"
Chu Shangli originally wanted to say "death" - but death itself is very close to the concept of retribution for good and evil.
Since migraines and terminal illnesses were previously denied, it also means that "death" is not a negative influence...
So - what exactly is it -?
"Why did your proud intuition suddenly fail? Shouldn't you know?" The Cheshire Cat laughed. "Why can't you just say it out loud? Does admitting this fact make you very uncomfortable?"
“Uncomfortable…?”
Indeed, there is an indescribable feeling swirling in my heart——
However, rather than feeling uncomfortable, it would be more accurate to say that the feeling was "hard to accept."
"It's 'loneliness'."
Yes, it’s loneliness.
When Chu Shangli heard this word, he understood that the feeling he couldn't express was the feeling of "loneliness" -
I shouldn't be afraid of "loneliness" - after all, I have lived in a birdcage for so long -
However, she did feel the unbearable loneliness——
Unable to bear the unspeakable loneliness.
I haven't experienced it yet, but I feel that it is more difficult to accept than a birdcage or death.
However, as if she hadn't given up, she still gently asked this question -
"Why... lonely? Why am I lonely?"
"I don't know how many times you read the file while talking to me..."
Chu Shangli tried his best to suppress the guilty feeling in his heart and faced the eyes of the Cheshire Cat on the screen.
Of course, she knew that the Cheshire Cat might not be at the same level with her right now.
She was watching herself perhaps from the ceiling, or perhaps from the side.
There is no evidence to prove that the two people are looking at each other.
However, Chu Shangli still met the eyes of the person on the screen.
"Your expression doesn't reveal anything, but this is a flaw," the Cheshire Cat pointed out. "Actually, it's normal to try out the system and see if different dialogues and different tones can lead to different plots while talking to me. So, if you really didn't load the game, you should have shown a more surprised expression—something like, 'Ah, good idea, why didn't I think of that?' But your expression now is—"
The screen went out—
The black laptop screen reflected Chu Shangli's face like a mirror.
Chu Shangli's face looked like he was wearing a mask.
Like a face made of plaster.
No expression at all.
There was no change in expression at all.
If it's the face of a dead person, but with a rather unnatural smile—
It would be better to say that there was no emotion at all than to say that he acted as if nothing had happened.
Chu Shangli maintained his mask and couldn't help but frowned——
She knew that the Cheshire Cat was right.
My expression is so fake - if I really haven't done it, indeed, the more natural reaction now is to say "oh" and click the save button -
However, it doesn't matter. Now that I have the archive, I can do better here -
However, Chu Shangli was also concerned about the parts that were not done well, so Chu Shangli also saved a file here.
Back to the conversation just now.
Chu Shangli tried his best to cover his mouth in a non-pretentious manner, then opened the SL window, saved a file here, and then read it.
