Help the system view Lan Yige's information.
Lu Yin's fingertips still lingered with the warmth of the "reconciliation" dream that had just ended.
“System,” “I demand all real-world data about Lan Yi. Not those embellished illusions, but his actual, current information.”
"Warning: This action will consume 99% of the user's emotional energy and may trigger irreversible cognitive collapse. Continue?"
“Continue.” “I need to know exactly what he has become.”
In an instant, countless streams of cold data cascaded down before her eyes like a blue waterfall:
Basic information change record:
Residence: [Status: Relocated]. New address associated record: Room 307, Building B, XX City Anning Care Center.
Communication Status: [Old Number: Status: Cancelled]. New Number Notes: [For Medical Emergency Contact Only].
Medical data summary (encryption level: high): Diagnosis: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Date of diagnosis: May 20, 2023. (Lu Yin's heart sank—that was the day they broke up.)
Disease progression: In the past six months, the upper limb muscle strength has decreased significantly and the dysarthria has worsened.
A fragment of an encrypted diary that has been accessed multiple times (displayed after the system was cracked):
“I saw her at the coffee shop today. She seemed okay, that’s enough. I have to be more aloof so the system can determine that she has ‘let go’.”
Last system interaction log (Blue Yi client):
"User 'Lan Yi' requests: Use all my remaining life energy to maintain her 'repair system'. Until the very end, it's better for her to hate me in her dreams than to cry for me in reality."
"If user emotional fluctuations exceed the threshold, should we activate the 'cognitive protection mechanism'?"
"No."
"WARNING: This operation will cause the system to crash, and the user may be permanently lost in the data deluge."
"It will collapse forever," Lu Yin said bluntly.
At this moment, Lu Yin saw the altered memories.
The data deluge eventually led her to a virtual space, the final paradise that Lan Yi had created for her within the system. Here, there was no illness, no separation, only the future they had once dreamed of: a cozy little home, succulents they had grown together on the windowsill, and bookshelves filled with the books they had read together.
But Lu Yin knew it was all fake. She walked to the center of the room, where there was a transparent box containing Lan Yi's consciousness core—a crystal that shimmered with a faint blue light.
"Why did you do this?" she whispered to the crystal, as if she could hear his answer.
"Because love is never about possession." The system's voice suddenly softened, as if Lan Yi was whispering, "but about setting you free, even if that freedom comes at the cost of my life."
Lu Yin reached out and gently touched the crystal. In that instant, countless memories flooded her mind:
She saw Lan Yi, after being diagnosed, secretly contact the system developer and upload her consciousness so that she could be by her side in a special way in her final days.
She saw how, after she transmigrated into the system, Lan Yi secretly altered her memories through the system, making her forget his illness and only remember those beautiful moments.
She saw herself, and every time she broke down, Lan Yi was silently enduring it within the system, even at the cost of consuming his own life energy, just to maintain the continuation of this "lie".
