Feng Guang felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar; her body was unbearably cold, yet her voice did not tremble in the slightest, "You killed my father."
“It wasn’t me,” Guardian said gently. “It was Shu Bai who did it. You Ji killed Shu Bai, and I killed You Ji, so… I also avenged Feng Guang.”
She looked up. "What's the difference between you and Shu Bai and the others?"
"If Feng Guang thinks that I am no different from Shu Bai and the others, then do you now have reason to believe that Xia Fengying, whom you like, is actually me?"
She fell into a brief silence, unable to answer his words. Xia Fengying was born from the Guardian's program, and the Guardian did indeed have Xia Fengying's shadow on him. Just like now, when he was holding her and talking to her in Xia Fengying's body, she would hesitate for a moment each time. It was Xia Fengying who had returned.
But she also knew very well that Xia Fengying was just one aspect of him. As long as Guardian wanted, he could transform into different people and have different personalities. So, was Guardian really Xia Fengying?
Feng Guang no longer dwelled on the answer. After her father's death, regardless of whether Guardian was Xia Fengying or not, she and he had completely lost any possibility of being together.
But Guardian didn't understand. He wasn't human after all. Even if the "virus" he perceived was driving him to have a terrible possessiveness towards this human girl, he still wasn't human. He didn't understand human emotions. For example, he thought that Feng Guang was thinking about Xia Fengying, so if he appeared in front of her as Xia Fengying, she would choose to be with him. As for Xia Chao... in Guardian's definition, Xia Chao was just a human, no different from ordinary humans. And Xia Chao wasn't a necessary condition for Feng Guang to live. So, when Shu Bai shot and killed Xia Chao, he could have stopped him, but he didn't.
The travelogue, Shu Bai, and Guardian all share a common ground. At least in terms of killing the Xia Dynasty, without the Xia Dynasty, Feng Guang would have one less obstacle. The three of them unanimously reached the same conclusion.
Guardian will never understand what the death of Xia Chao meant to Feng Guang.
“My brother is dead.” Feng Guang pushed the knife in her hand in one more step. “For me, the brother I loved is dead.”
In the past, she would have denied the fact that Xia Fengying was dead, but now she had to admit that Xia Fengying was dead. Only in this way could she tell herself that the person she loved was not the one who killed her father.
Guardian sighed, bewildered by the inability of the program to calculate the result: "Didn't Fengguang always want me back? Now that I'm back, why won't you accept me?"
"When you become human, you'll understand why." Finally, the knife in her hand pierced his heart.
Guardian showed no sign of pain, even though blood was flowing from his chest. He seemed oblivious, a soft laugh escaping his lips that seemed to evoke a sense of melancholy, but it was something that could not exist in him.
He asked softly, "Fengguang, are you going to give up on me?"
"You and I have never had any relationship whatsoever. The word 'give up' doesn't even exist for me." She got out of his arms, pulled out the blood-stained knife again, and his wound bled faster.
