“If you found this video, it means my choice was still wrong. I couldn’t escape the constraints of the rules after all, or rather, I was wrong… For the past twenty years, I’ve searched for every way to go back, but what I’ve found is—nothing. All the evidence tells me that he doesn’t really exist. Sometimes I can only convince myself that those memories are real, that he is real, by watching those videos.” The middle-aged woman’s eyes gradually welled up with tears.
At that moment, a mechanical male voice said, "Master, the commander is waiting for you outside."
Xia Yixin recognized the voice; it was V's, but it was slightly different—colder and more formulaic.
In the video, the woman suddenly snapped back to reality, but didn't stop recording. Instead, she calmly took out a pill, smiled through her tears, her eyes filled with struggle and hesitation. "He's waited twenty years. I think it's time to end it. I don't want him to wait any longer. I hope there won't be another video. Death is the biggest accident, isn't it?"
Xia Yixin watched helplessly as her middle-aged self in the video swallowed the pills.
The video abruptly ended, the lights came on, and she was surrounded by a pure white system space.
"Hello, welcome to the experimental system cabin, B-0. Would you like to begin a new journey or seek other services?" The female mechanical system voice could not completely calm Xia Yixin down.
She originally thought that what V was preventing her from seeing was about how to get back to Lu Yan's side, but she didn't expect it to be the complete opposite of what she thought.
Many things that I couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.
It turns out that the person she met before was her "avatar" left in the apocalyptic dimension from a parallel universe. It was the only point that could connect with various parallel universes. After proving that no matter how much she tried to escape and prolong her time in the apocalypse, she could not change the "rules" of coming to this world, she naturally chose another path and came here earlier.
That's why she experienced those "strange things" in the post-apocalyptic world, those crows, and the saying "accidents are the only way to break the rules"—it was the only truth she found after exploring 12 different endings.
But in fact, the problem has now been solved to the last point, and even death cannot break the rules, so does that prove that she was wrong?
No matter how many times she tried, no matter how many ways she tried to break the rules, she still couldn't find Lu Yan.
Because he himself is an illusion.
It's like a dream, no matter how beautiful, you can never go back to that dream, and there can never be an exact same dream.
A sense of despair and confusion welled up from the depths of her soul, completely engulfing her.
Fake.
right!
Perhaps all of this, these videos, are fake!
Because V had no reason to prevent her from watching these videos, if she gave up on Lu Yan because of them, it would only benefit him, and besides...
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Xia Yixin's mind. She quickly reviewed all the previous videos and, after watching them three times, confirmed something she had previously overlooked.
In all the videos except the last one, V is absent from the other 11 videos. It's not that she doesn't exist, but rather that in some of them, her trust was rejected by her counterpart in that parallel world from the beginning, and in others, it's because she was being controlled.
And most importantly, V did not betray them in the first 12 videos.
So, assuming these videos are genuine, perhaps there really is a way out?
Or perhaps, all of this is fake, just to make her think that way?
The answer to all questions can only be found by finding V.
A ray of light was ignited in her dull eyes. She quickly pressed the exit button on the screen, and flipped herself up the moment the hatch opened. However, she swayed when her feet touched the ground, but fortunately, the researcher next to her caught her in time.
"Madam, please don't worry. People need time to recover after leaving the experimental system. Give them some nutrients first, otherwise they may experience dizziness again."
After swallowing the nutritional supplement, Xia Yixin's strength did recover somewhat. She subconsciously glanced at the observation room outside and, unexpectedly, did not see Lu Yuan. However, she did see the clock on the wall, indicating that three hours had passed from when she went in to when she came out.
After she recovered, she asked, "Where is my leader?"
She had assumed he would be here.
The researcher's answer surprised her.
"V attempted to infiltrate the safe house two and a half hours ago but failed and was brought under control. The Commander-in-Chief should be dealing with this matter now."
Xia Yixin's heart skipped a beat. "Take me to see him."
Although she knew V would definitely reappear, and that he would definitely come back after failing to kill her, wouldn't this be too hasty? Too coincidental?
at the same time.
Night fell.
The residents of Block B are undergoing subtle but important changes because of the three orders that Lu Yuan suddenly announced during the day.
People living at the very bottom of the Allied Nations originally didn't have much respect for Lu Yuan, but after Lu Yuan's orders came down today, the mentality of some B-level gene users changed.
The sound of two brothers discussing something came from a simple house built of wood and partitions.
“Let me tell you, although the matter of severing the third type of emotion is a bit sudden, if you think about it carefully, this is a good thing for us B-level gene users. According to our level, we may never be able to pair up with someone in our entire lives, but now we are free in our emotions. Do you remember what was in that forbidden book?” The tall, burly man was eager to try.
"Shh! Keep your voice down, do you have a death wish? There are patrolling enforcers everywhere outside." The skinny boy, barely eighteen, blushed immediately, quickly told him to stop, and nervously closed the window.
