Chapter 132 Epilogue: Sculpture (Part 2) I wish you all the best
“…”
"S-Sister?"
“…I’m fine.”
"But you look unhappy!" Qu Biexing jumped up and down on the ground, "Just like when I saw my twentieth sister die!"
"..." He Yuezhe frowned, picked it up, and wiped the blood off its body. "Did you see it?"
"Yes, my eyes are very good! And I can feel that you were very sad at that time, sister. Do you like Twenty Sister as much as I do?"
"you……"
"Ms. Minglin."
Before He Yuezhe could think of how to reply to Qu Biexing, a woman's voice sounded not far away in the alley.
"Senior Wang, you are here." He Yuezhe responded.
She put Qu Biexing on her shoulder, walked past the body of boy No. 004, and walked towards the woman.
"You are just as I thought. You can break my prophecy." The woman was wearing a black robe, blocking out the wind and snow.
He Yuezhe stopped one meter away from the woman, lowered his eyes, and handed her a piece of the life core.
"Why don't you ask what my prophecy is?" the woman took it and asked.
"I [sacrificed] myself to [save] the world, didn't I?"
"...Yes, that's my prophecy." The woman sighed, "But I smell blood on you."
"I suppose you've embarked on a path completely different from my [Prophecy]?"
“…”
"Zhang Wanbai, and Zhao Lingqi, hmm, why do these names suddenly sound so awkward when I say them now?"
“…”
"It's as if, as if in these seven years, I have completely forgotten them and started a new life."
“…”
"Ah, what a pity! I've never been one to look into the future."
“…”
"I have lived in our former small settlement for seven years, and the traces of each of their lives are like scars engraved on our bones. Every time I see them, every time I touch them, I always recall the past they created for us..."
"It was as if I saw them in the past, laughing and playing, pushing my wheelchair and taking me on a journey through this world."
“…”
"So, Minglin, if you hadn't made [this choice], if you hadn't chosen to kill them, perhaps our next meeting would be the day you die."
"..." He Yuezhe trembled, not daring to look into the woman's eyes, "Why are you telling me this?"
"Don't you already have the answer?" The woman's voice was filled with laughter.
"We, we clearly have other ways..." He Yuezhe couldn't believe it, "Senior, we, we clearly have a better way!"
She raised her head, and snow drifted into her eyes, blurring her vision.
"No, Minglin."
The woman took off her cloak and draped it over He Yuezhe.
"From the moment you saw that little paper figurine, from the moment you saw my message, from that moment on, this was the only way."
He Yuezhe looked at the smile on the woman's face, the tears in her eyes, and then at her body that had rotted beyond recognition.
Blood that did not belong to a woman's body almost covered her entire body. Tentacles at the wounds trembled and blood vessels kept falling out.
"Minglin, let's get started." The woman took He Yuezhe's hand. "This is what we agreed on a long time ago, wasn't it?"
"We must eliminate all the [Deformed Species] and [Deformed Aliens] in this world, including me, them, and all the [Fusions]."
...Yes, this was agreed upon long ago and cannot be changed.
He Yuezhe drew out his dagger.
The cold dagger was close to the woman's hot body.
"Chi..."
"Minglin, I'm sorry."
"What's there to be sorry about..."
It's obviously me who is sorry to you, senior.
…
…
…
"Hello, Minglin (I don't know your real name yet, so I'll just use this as a pseudonym). I'm Wang Jianying, a survivor of the great war seven years ago."
"You're new here, so you might not recognize me yet. But that's okay. Just treat me as an ordinary [Deformed Species] who wants to help you."
"Because I still need to take care of a few 'sick' friends, I'm borrowing Xiang Cheng's paper figurine to leave you a message."
"I saw your identity as an Outsider in the Prophecy, so you shouldn't be bound by these Rules. This is also the main reason why I found you and left you a message."
"If it really comes to that (I can't tell you the truth right now), I hope you can help me. On the first night of the 'war', in that alley near the square, use that dagger to kill me and parade me through the streets."
"If not, the connection between us will be automatically severed, and you will have a bright future."
"Finally, I will always protect you until [that step]."
"May your wish come true, [Outsider]."
"nameless."
…
…
…
"No wonder you asked me to keep this paper figure with me all the time, it turns out it's to keep in touch with this senior!"
"But sister, are you not going to parade this senior's body through the streets?"
"..." He Yuezhe touched Qu Biexing's head, pulled out the paper figurine from her hand, and burned it clean. "What do you think her purpose was in having me kill her with a dagger during the battle and then parading her body through the streets?"
"Well, this is because... well, I can't think of it."
"How stupid! Of course, it's to tell [Humanity] that even though [the rules] are made by [higher-ups] and [deformed species], [they] are not to be feared, because [they] can also be killed by [the rules]."
"This is giving [humanity] the courage to resist [the upper echelons]."
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
"Well, since she doesn't want to be the world's [heroine], then let her be just one of the ordinary people."
He Yuezhe let go and threw Wang Jianying's body into a pile of corpses in the square.
"After all, this is what you've been hoping for, isn't it?"
"Take off the shell of a heroine and be an ordinary person. Live an ordinary life, do ordinary things, and have an ordinary ending."
"Although, you still [chose] to become a [heroine]."
"……senior."
The bodies fell slowly.
Like snow.
Like ash.
Someone like Wang Jianying, who was insignificant, accomplished nothing, disgusted her, and frivolous...
"I wish you all the best."
【lifetime】.

After dealing with Wang Jianying's affairs, He Yuezhe began to look for Xiang Cheng and the remaining few [Laichun].
Since 004 and 002 ran to that place, the other [Laichun] must have dispersed as well.
In order to facilitate observation, He Yuezhe jumped onto the roof.
We searched alley after alley, and concentration camps everywhere.
The bodies of [deformed species], [humans] and [magicians] were scattered all over the place, only a few of them were covered with white cloth.
It was not until dawn that the two suns rose again in the sky, and He Yuezhe found the bodies of 001, 004 and 007 in a street filled with the scent of herbs.
Their bodies were thrown at the door of a house, hastily tied up with hemp mats and covered with a thick layer of snow.
When the hemp mats were untied, what was revealed were the children's wide-open eyes, bodies covered with scars from being beaten with sticks, and their curled-up little bodies.
Even when she lifted the hemp mat, body parts fell from the pile of corpses.
"..." He Yuezhe had a blank expression on his face. "A bunch of idiots."
Do you still consider yourself a [human]?
Do you still believe that these [humans] who were once your [kind] and whom you saved will save you?
But [humans] don't know what [fusion] is. They only know that these strange-looking children are [deformed species].
——If you are a [deformed species], you deserve to die.
“…”
"Minglin, you finally found this place."
"...Xiang Cheng?"
He Yue turned her head, blocking the children's bodies, and looked at Xiang Cheng who was walking from a distance.
"Am I a failure?" Xiang Cheng's face was covered with ashes and tears.
“…”
"After so much time researching [Fusion], in the end, it only harmed them all."
"Minglin, I really—"
"Bang."
Xiang Cheng suddenly fell straight down.
Blood spurted from under her head.
He Yuezhe was silent for a moment, walked over, and found that a piece of children's severed arm had rolled to Xiang Cheng's feet and tripped her.
Xiang Cheng's head hit a piece of life core buried in the snow, very hard.
——That was the life core of No. 005 that He Yuezhe had seen not long ago and was thrown away together with her and Wang Jianying's bodies.
"Xiang Cheng, you are indeed a failure." He Yuezhe helped her wipe her face clean, "But it doesn't matter, your failure is a happy one."
"Because you will no longer suffer for this world."
^
After placing Xiang Cheng's body, He Yuezhe left the street and headed towards the central square in the city.
Compared with the alleys surrounding the square, the fighting in the square was obviously more intense.
He Yuezhe was splattered with blood just by approaching the square.
"Minglin, the One in Power?" The Deformed Species who had taken action saw her and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?!"
"Do you know me?" He Yuezhe wiped the blood off his body with disgust and asked back.
"Of course! When we were little, Minglin [The One in Power], you played at your house and I played at mine, and we had so much fun! Have you forgotten everything?"
"..." He Yuezhe glanced at it and impatiently changed the subject, "What's the situation?"
"Oh, thanks to your formation, we're all so refreshed!" The [Deformed Species] flatteringly handed the [Magician] it was holding to He Yuezhe. "By the way, this [Magician] escaped from the [Academy] covered in wounds, yet he was able to fight me for so long. He must be of a very high level!"
"Minglin [Power], this [Magician], consider it my filial duty to you. After this war is over, could you, could you please give me some guidance and support?"
...Yu Yuanxiang?
"Okay, but let me make this clear first. There are many people who can benefit me, and you are just one of them." He Yuezhe took the [Magician] and put her aside. "So if all your sincerity is just this [Magician], then what I can give you is only worth this much."
"Of course! Don't worry! I will definitely offer you more tributes later!"
"good."
He Yuezhe pulled out the dagger swiftly, along with the flesh and blood of the [Deformed Species].
"hehe……!!!?"
"Oh, what a bad boy, he actually wanted to assassinate me."
He Yuezhe patted the twitching face of [Deformed Species] and looked up at Tang Xiqin who was still fighting hard in the square.
“3.”
Perhaps the arrows were exhausted, and Tang Xiqin had started using melee weapons, which also caused her to suffer a lot of injuries.
“2.”
Several hours had passed since He Yuezhe activated his formation, so apart from Tang Xiqin, the only ones who could still move independently in the square were the resurrected deformed species.
“1.”
But even someone as powerful as Tang Xiqin would become exhausted after fighting for hours against so many [enhanced] [deformed species].
[Inside the city], it seems that it is about to be occupied by [deformed species].
This was what He Yuezhe agreed to when he made the deal with the [Deformed Species].
After all, she wanted to be a traitor.
“Buzz——!!!”
But……
"Sorry, Senior, just consider this as the last time you help me."
Just at the moment when Tang Xiqin's chest was pierced by the vascular tentacles of the [Deformed Species]!
The statue behind her suddenly lowered its head and made a deafening buzzing sound!
...The system lied to her. Tang Xiqin was not killed by a villain while on a mission.
The statue's hands instantly emitted a dazzling light!
