Ascension or Fall? The Sweet Dream Ending of Reality
Frosted Ending: Code Wedding Under the Pixel Cherry Blossom Tree
Scene 1: Sweetness Revives from the Ruins
In the ruins of a city left behind by the Data War, Xiaodou's pixelated tail gently brushed against the shattered neon tubes, and wherever the tubes touched, a cherry blossom tree suddenly blossomed, made of code chocolate. The petals, shaped like cherry blossoms, were composed of binary code, and each falling petal echoed the sound of a straw sipping water, like the energy tea from the Star Wars. Her half-digital body gradually solidified into a solid form, and the claw heart rune resonated with the ancient rat totem on the clinic's exterior. From the cracks in the totem, rainbow syrup from Storybrooke seeped, forming a light pattern of "LOVE" on the ground.
"Azuki Bean!"
The gears in Lin Shen's mechanical heart suddenly reversed, and spiritual energy from the immortal realm emanated from the gaps between the gears, reassembling his cracked mechanical body from the ruins. A faint glow shone through the cracks in the mechanical heart pendant on his chest (a foreshadowing from Volume 7). He stumbled toward Xiaodou, the fragments beneath his feet automatically forming the milk tea cup pattern from the campus arc.
"You said that every time I chew through the timeline, you would plant an osmanthus tree..." Xiaodou's whiskers trembled slightly, and the marshmallow slime of the Cthulhu world hung on his pixelated eyelashes. "Now I want to plant a full chocolate cherry blossom tree, with you."
Scene 2: A strange blessing from a cross-volume guest
Bai Yan, a fox demon from the demon world, descended on a rainbow bridge formed by the digested code of the Sky-Swallowing Rat, holding a marriage certificate that had been gnawed into pixelated pieces (a foreshadowing from the first volume): "Last time you swallowed my Xuanbinggao betrothal gift, this time I'll give you a 'data marriage certificate' - doubly encrypted with demon world runes and cyber codes, it will never fade."
Nightmare, the cat who keeps the secrets of the Cthulhu world (Volume 12), squatted on a cherry tree, tossing a glowing piece of rational chocolate with his paw: "Don't be moved too soon, I'm here to ask for wedding candy - I want Cthulhu flavored ones with a tentacle-filled jellybean."
The Storybrooke Giant, carrying a cross-volume express box (Volume 13), smashed through the clouds. "Happy wedding! This is the sweetest gift in the universe—it contains interstellar energy cakes, apocalyptic mutant strawberries, and…" He suddenly lowered his voice, "the 'Concept Rat King Special Can' that Lin Shen hid at the bottom of the refrigerator."
Scene 3: The holographic bridal chamber of a mechanical cat
When the wedding was about to exchange rings, a holographic projection of a mechanical cat (GM of Volume 11) suddenly erupted from the clinic's refrigerator. The projection was wearing a lace apron from Once Upon a Time (foreshadowing of Volume 13) and holding up a pixelated marriage certificate: "Warning! Excessively sweet data detected - but in consideration of No. 001's seven hundred years of singleness, this is granted!"
The projection waved its claws, and strange gifts from various worlds fell from the sky:
- The panda mouse in the game chapter (Volume 4) is holding the server-limited artifact chocolate;
- Guinea Pigs of the Sixties (Volume 3) push a pixel cart filled with food stamps;
- The Metal Rabbit Dragon from the Western Fantasy (Volume 9) sprays rainbow-colored mechanical fireworks.
Lin Shen smiled and put the code chocolate ring on Xiaodou's paw. The mechanical cat energy chip embedded in the ring (a foreshadowing in Volume 3) suddenly played a recording of his previous life: "Xiaodou, in the next life, I will still be your firewall."
Scene 4: Ending Easter Egg and Preview of the Next Volume
The moment the wedding cake was cut, a mechanical cat maintenance manual fell out from the inner layer. Inside the manual was a picture of the energy ice cream shop from the fifteenth volume of the Interstellar chapter, with a note next to it: "Remember to bring Lin Shen to try the 'Galaxy Strawberry Flavor', GM's treat!"
As night fell, Xiaodou crouched on Lin Shen's shoulder, munching on code meteors. The neon lights in the distance lit up again, spelling out "001 + Xiaodou = ∞." Lin Shen's prosthetic eye flashed through a future timeline: Xiaodou stirring coffee with her tail in a clinic while he treated a hamster wearing mechanical cat earrings. The air was filled with the mixed aroma of demonic osmanthus and interstellar chocolate.
Blank Ending: Unfinished KPIs in Pixel Stardust
Scenario 1: The cold decision of the system prompt tone
The electronic prompt sound of the mechanical cat (Volume 3) rang out in the void: "The marriage value is full, and the concept rat king can ascend. Are you sure?" Xiaodou's pixelated body suddenly began to decompose, and the claw heart rune split into the pinyin code of "Lin Shen". Each piece of code reflected his afterimage in different worlds - the school hunk who served milk tea in the campus chapter, the director who served coffee in the Cthulhu chapter, and the man who wrote the baking manual in the fairy tale chapter.
"Seven hundred years ago, you traded your mechanical heart for my reincarnation..." Xiaodou's pixelated tears fell on the core of the mechanical heart, and the core surfaced with Lin Shen's dying messages from every life: the blood letters in the world of immortal cultivation, the code notes in cyberpunk, and the baking diary in Storybrooke. "Now I finally understand that the sweetest part of 'Marriage Value'... is you."
Scene 2: Pixelated flashback
The moment Xiaodou chose to ascend, countless fragments of memory flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern:
- In the first volume of the Demon Realm, when Bai Yan handed over the osmanthus cake, she saw Lin Shen's eyes flash through the runes;
- In Volume 7, the veterinarian on the school idol's phone wallpaper is Lin Shen, and there's a "Guardian No. 001" watermark in the lower right corner of the wallpaper;
- Volume 12 Cthulhu, the mechanical cat energy chip in the director's (Lin Shen) pocket (Volume 3), the chip number matches her paw print.
"So every time we go on a blind date, you're the one looking at me through the cracks in time and space..." Her pixelated tail wrapped around Lin Shen's wrist, which was gradually becoming transparent. "This time, it's my turn to look at you—wait for me to come back."
Scene 3: Lonely waiting in a real clinic
In the real world, amidst a torrential downpour, Lin Shen huddled beside the clinic's refrigerator, cradling a robotic cat doll (Volume 11). From the doll's stomach fell the blind date KPI report from Volume 14, the last entry reading "100th blind date: Waiting for Xiaodou's return." His robotic eye reflected the empty examination table, where Xiaodou's half-eaten code chocolate lay, its crumbs spelling out the mouse language for "wait for me."
Suddenly, a glowing chocolate bean fell from the ceiling and rolled to his feet. Sweet scenes from various worlds swirled across its surface: a foodie war in the demon realm, interstellar spirits grumbling, and honey rain in Storybrooke. Lin Shen trembled as he picked up the bean and discovered the code combination "L·S" engraved on its bottom—a secret key unique to him and Xiaodou.
Scene 4: Rewind Hook and Pixel Loading
Above the city, a pixelated Xiaodou gazed at the lights of the clinic. The progress bar on her tail began loading again: "Searching for Lin Shen - Progress 0.01%." The traces of mechanical heart gears lingered on her claws. A crack opened in the distant clouds, revealing the loading screen for the fifteenth volume, "Parallel Universe - Doubao's Thousand Layers of Tricks." The background was the AI matchmaker system from the StarCraft chapter, and the title read: "The 101st Blind Date: The Mechanical Knight Across the Galaxy."
Lin Shen plants chocolate beans in a flowerpot, and a code sunflower, singing "Love Cycle," immediately sprouts from the soil (a Flame Elf Easter egg from Volume 12). A note falls from the bottom of the flowerpot, written in the handwriting of a mechanical cat (GM): "Pixels never fade, sweetness always recurs—Your Timeline Restorer No. 003."
