“Master, your emotional fluctuations have affected your judgment. Your current thoughts are very irrational and dangerous.”
"Don't call me master anymore, Number 83. I've never been clearer than I am now. I know what I'm doing." Xia Linyin closed her eyes to calm her breathing.
“Number 83, you know, I’ve never seen you as an AI system. In my eyes, you’re a real person with flesh and blood.”
Unlike her previous emotional outbursts, Xia Linyin's eyes were calm at this moment, yet strangely dark.
"You don't want to go against me, right? Xiao Ba, are you really going to go against me for the sake of the game? Being controlled by the game and making yourself do things you don't like, doesn't that feel awful?"
After a moment of silence, #83 said, "I don't understand why you're protecting this NPC. You could have left the game and avoided all of this, but he pulled you back into the game, and he might even prevent you from returning to reality again. You should help the game fix him."
"You're right. He erased my memories and pulled me back into the game. I should hate him, but without him, I would have died in this game long ago!"
Xia Linyin clenched her fists. "And shouldn't I hate the game the most? If it weren't for the game dragging me into this, how could I have suffered all this! You want me to help you deal with Xiao Li? Dream on!"
Number 83 wanted to make one last attempt to persuade Xia Linyin, "If you don't complete the game mission, you will die. Think about it, there's only one last game left before you can leave and return to reality to live a peaceful life without having to go through all sorts of death games. As for the pain you experienced in the game, time will be the best healer. In time, you will gradually forget it."
Xia Linyin nodded, lowered her eyes and said, "You're right, I'll gradually forget about it over time."
Just when No. 83 thought Xia Linyin had wavered, Xia Linyin suddenly shouted into the void, "Xiao Li! Did you hear me! I will forget you! Forget you completely!"
"Do you think I'll be grateful for what you've done? No! I won't be grateful, I won't remember you, I'll just forget you!"
"When I return to reality, I will treat all of this as a dream, and then start my life anew. I will fall in love, I will get married, I will have children, and I will grow old with someone else!"
"Xiao Li! Do you really want to see me marry someone else, have children with someone else?"
Xia Linyin called out Xiao Li's name with all her might, her voice breaking and choking with sobs at the end, "Xiao Li..."
"My sister always likes to say things that make me angry."
Xiao Li's voice suddenly came from behind, accompanied by a faint sigh. Xia Linyin's body stiffened, and she slowly turned around.
A tall, slender man walked towards her, exuding an overwhelming aura. His eyes were a deep, dark blue, and his smooth, delicate skin seemed to shimmer with a luminous glow. Every feature of his face was exquisitely perfect.
The robots that Xia Linyin had seen before also had exquisite features, but they were so exquisitely perfect that they were almost unrealistic, like lifelike mannequins in a shop window.
The man before them was different. He emanated a vibrant life force, and his stunning good looks exuded unparalleled charm, making it impossible to look away.
Such a man is as unattainable as the bright moon in the night sky, no, he should be like a bewitching demon. He is the original sin, the original sin that can easily draw out the evil side of people, the original sin that leads people into an abyss of eternal damnation.
"Xiao Li, you've finally decided to come out and see me..." Xia Linyin blinked her reddened eyes and nodded, saying, "You're ruthless! If I hadn't found out myself, when were you planning to come out and see me?"
"When your self-awareness is erased? When you completely forget me? Or will you simply disappear from my world?"
"And then when I discover the truth, I'll be heartbroken and never forget you for the rest of my life?"
"It's like that assassin game. When I've made breakfast and opened the door, all I see is a cold, lifeless corpse. Who the hell would thank you for that?!"
Xia Linyin cursed loudly. She sniffed and sighed, "It's that time of year again when we have to make this kind of choice. If this is our fate, then there's nothing to agonize over this time."
"Sister, look at me." Xiao Li grasped Xia Linyin's shoulders, her dark blue eyes gazing into the depths of her gaze.
Unlike her gentle tone just now, Xiao Li's voice was icy cold when she spoke again, "Cancel the next game and send her straight back to reality. I won't resist."
Realizing that Xiao Li was making a deal with No. 83, Xia Linyin struggled violently, but her body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move. Then she heard No. 83 say, "Game instructions have been received, player Xia Linyin is authorized to be teleported back to reality."
"No!!!" The voice that had been stuck in her throat finally broke free and burst out, but it was blocked back down the next second.
Xiao Li held Xia Linyin's head and kissed her lips. His tongue plunged into Xia Linyin's mouth, sweeping over every part of her lips and teeth like a storm.
The intense and aggressive kiss almost suffocated Xia Linyin.
After a long while, Xiao Li released Xia Linyin's swollen lips. "You won't forget me, and I won't allow it."
He took a step back, and Xia Linyin's body moved uncontrollably toward the energy ball. She didn't know whether it was No. 83 controlling her body or Xiao Li controlling her body, but no matter who it was, her body was already being controlled by that invisible force and had reached the energy ball.
And his right hand was slowly rising and reaching towards the energy ball.
A glint of madness flashed in Xia Linyin's eyes, and a crescent-shaped blade appeared in her hand. "Ah!!!"
With a flick of her wrist, she used all her strength to thrust the crescent blade into her body. The gleaming blade pierced through her flesh, turning a blinding red.
"Sister!!" came the voice, filled with utter despair.
Xia Linyin smiled and fell backward, but was caught by Xiao Li before hitting the ground.
Xiao Li's knees slammed heavily to the ground. His hands trembled, and his eyes turned bloodshot from the sight of Xia Linyin's bright red blood.
After a brief moment of mental blankness, he quickly calmed down, drew the crescent blade from Xia Linyin's body, and placed his palm on the gushing blood from the gash.
Thin, blue-glowing threads emerged from his palm, burrowing into Xia Linyin's wound and completely enveloping it.
"Xiao Li, I feel so selfish. I make you sacrifice yourself again and again just so I can survive."
"No! I'm the selfish one. I've been doing the things my sister hates!"
"Did you ever ask me if I loved you?" Xia Linyin slowly raised her hand and stroked Xiao Li's cheek. "I didn't answer then, but now I'll tell you the answer—"
