Chapter 49: Scene 7: A sea of suffering slid down from the girl’s scar…
"Meow--"! ! !
The system screamed and was pierced into pieces!
Hundreds and thousands of arrows flashing with colorful lightning were nailed to it and spun around mercilessly!
There was no sound of a sharp weapon tearing flesh, but rather the sound of metal colliding!
In the blink of an eye, the system suddenly turned into a robot!
The girl with dull eyes beside her finally stopped summoning!
"Are you the origin of the world?" The system barely escaped, brushed off the ashes on its body, and stood up.
"...Are you here to kill me too?" Yue Ling's strength weakened, and He Yuezhe quickly helped her sit on a chair that appeared out of thin air. "Is it because of 'those things' I did?"
He Yuezhe adjusted Yue Ling's sitting position, gently brushed her trembling shoulders with both hands, and said softly, "Don't be afraid. It's not too late to talk about those things later."
"Host!! Such a great opportunity! Didn't you say before that if you can ask directly, you should ask directly?! What are you doing now?!" the system roared.
He Yuezhe thought about it, then shook his head: "[Truth should not be based on death]."
"Aren't you right, Miss Yue?"
After saying that, she swiftly pulled out the arrow that Yue Ling had hidden behind her, broke it in two with one hand, and threw it into the air.
"Ms. Yue, ask yourself, are you really the one who did those things?"
He Yuezhe tried to smooth Yue Ling's unconscious frown: "So many people died, every single one of them, do you think it was because of you?"
"Miss Yue, do you really think you are such a big shot?"
"You! Nonsense..." Yue Ling's voice was filled with tears. "If it weren't for me, the world wouldn't be like this!"
She turned her head and stared at He Yuezhe.
The colorful light flowed and turned into a sea of suffering that slid down the girl's scar.
"We've failed, this world is dead, so... please abandon this place. At least give us... a few last seconds of tenderness."
He Yuezhe's eyes suddenly smiled.
Yue Ling looked at her and fell into despair.
He Yuezhe didn't think about wiping her tears because he hated the feeling of touching scars.
"Ms. Yue, try again." She covered Yue Ling's ears with her hands.
"You've come this far, please don't turn back because of us."
"Please let me be with you!!"
The black and white light suddenly shone brightly, almost covering the entire space!
Yue Ling stared with wide eyes.
She looked at the girl in front of her with flying black hair, and the familiar tassel bracelet that was revealed when she moved.
——She really came?
^
"Host, was it successful?"
"Hehe, of course," He Yuezhe twisted his wrist, stood on top of the ruins, and looked down, "After all, I've used it several times."
Although this is the first time I have entered the memory of the origin of the world.
"Host, host, over there!"
The light illuminated a path with an unknown future, and it had already taken a step forward: "Yue Ling!! Right there!"
He Yuezhe quickly followed.
Because it is through the memory of Yue Ling letting down her guard and entering, everything here will be much more real than if she forced her way in.
To facilitate the platform staff's memory exploration, the system stated that their physical abilities would be significantly enhanced within their memories. This was indeed the case.
He Yuezhe quickly found the place the system mentioned.
——It was an extremely dilapidated street.
The houses on both sides collapsed, and the surviving plants were barely surviving, swaying slightly in the energy fluctuations.
…
"Host, here!" a light spot shouted from a house.
"You really can't see?"
"Really! Host, please believe me. Memories are absolutely unchangeable, so everything you do here is invisible!!"
"All right."
He Yuezhe had no choice but to step out of the shade.
In a house, a middle-aged man was putting down his backpack and preparing to make a fire.
Suddenly, a group of strange-looking, richly dressed young men rushed in and started beating the middle-aged man with sticks!
"Host, aren't they too cruel?" The system seemed a little unbearable to watch, "They hit people as soon as they meet!?"
He Yuezhe was not confused.
"Did you see what those young men are wearing? They clearly have a lot of resources. It's 11 years into the freeze, and logically speaking, they wouldn't be wearing such luxurious, flimsy clothing. It's cold enough here."
"so……"
"Are they aliens??" the system exclaimed.
It looked at the group of young men, and then at the middle-aged man who was being beaten but remained silent.
"If only you could see their appearance from the beginning," He Yuezhe sighed. "With plastic horns and plastic beards, they don't look like ordinary humans, do they?"
^
Leaving aside this little episode, the two's subsequent observation operations went very smoothly.
After judgment, the middle-aged man carrying the basket should be Xiao Wolfberry, and the "embryo" in the basket is Yue Ling.
The two of them walked together for some unknown reason.
But little wolfberry was beaten all the way. He was beaten when he went to the store, he was beaten when he went to the wilderness, and he was beaten even if he didn't go anywhere.
Yue Ling didn't make any sound.
It was not until the freeze period was over and the reconstruction of their home was basically completed, and the aliens who had attempted to invade were forced to return home, that the two of them were able to barely find a place to live.
At this time, Yue Ling had become like a child.
As she grew older, the little wolfberry also gradually aged.
Thanks to Yue Ling's powerful eloquence, the two successfully took over a small shop near the house and started selling daily necessities and food.
Yue Ling is very capable. Her outstanding management skills and her beautiful appearance have attracted many customers to come to her store again and again to buy products.
After making a profit, they opened their first branch, then their second branch, and then countless others.
Time passes year by year.
Xiao Goji has grown too old to run a small shop on his own, but Yue Ling still looks like a girl, full of youth and vitality.
Yue Ling hired workers for this purpose, and the business empire of the two became even larger.
It was also during this period that Yue Ling met her best friend, Chen Shu.
From the daily conversations between the three people, we can know that——
Before the freeze and before the aliens arrived, there was a time when this home was the most prosperous of the great homes.
Skyscrapers, dragons and fishes dancing in lanterns, luxurious but not decadent, technological but not cold.
This period of time is called by wolfberry——
"Hot period".
Yue Ling's parents seemed to have died there.
But even so, Yue Ling longs for that kind of life.
But every time Xiao Goji reminisced, she would interrupt him, because Yue Ling longed for that kind of life to be repeated in the future.
At the end of this memory, a certain "virus" broke out in the air, causing heavy casualties among humans.
Because the lethality rate of this "virus" is as high as 100%, all those infected will either commit suicide or eventually die from the poison.
Yue Ling still insisted on opening the shop every day, until she found that there were traces of green on her fingertips...
...Their shops were blocked.
She saw the situation outside on TV. It was not a chaotic situation, but all the poisoned people were lying in their homes, quietly waiting to die.
Yue Ling was shocked. She wrapped herself in a thick cotton coat for the summer and quietly slipped out the door.
There were corpses everywhere outside, but no traces of blood, as if those people had just fallen asleep on the side of the road.
Yue Ling wanted to vomit but couldn't.
She saw maggots wriggling in the rotting flesh, and saw people's dark green bodies rot into water and merge into the ground.
She looked at her hands wearing bear wool gloves.
——Yue Ling finally couldn’t help but roar.
The months-long [confinement treatment] only brought her endless pain.
Now, he is finally released.
When Yue Ling returned home, she made one last request to Xiao Goji: "Xiao Goji, after I lose consciousness, can you let me survive in another form?"
"Ms. Yue, don't say that. You will definitely survive! Don't give up hope!!"
"I need to prepare as soon as possible before you get infected, idiot. Besides, I didn't say I would die."
"Miss!!"
"By the way, tell Chen Shu that I will definitely go back to find her."
"Miss."
"Little wolfberry, let me tell you another secret of mine."
"In fact, a long time ago, I discovered that I seemed to be able to control the world."
“It’s like playing chess on a chessboard. Everyone except me is a chess piece, and the world is the chessboard.”
"But I always seem to lose."
"I lost when aliens invaded our home."
"When my homeland was destroyed, I lost."
"Even now, with the 'virus' breaking out, does that mean... I've still lost?"
"I should have protected this world, but I ended up taking everyone with me to die."
"Am I stupid, little wolfberry?"
"So, if you were in this position, what would you do?"
"We should have repelled and warned the alien spies the first time they arrived, and we should have worked together to prevent the first attack that destroyed our homeland. But now..."
"If you detect the 'virus', you should isolate yourself and seek medical treatment as soon as possible."
"...Hey, little wolfberry, you are still better than me."
"Miss?"
"Now I'm going to join the game, little wolfberry."
"If the world returns to its former glory, please remember to write a tombstone."
Yue Ling heard a rustling sound. It turned out that maggots were flowing out of her eyes, nose and ears.
The stench hit her and she frowned out of habit.
"Then……"
Yue Ling tried to close her eyes tightly.
Unfortunately, her rotten, smelly dark green "body" gradually pushed open her eyelids.
"Always remember..."
Ah, it’s so dirty, then, forget it.
Yue Ling suddenly laughed.
I don't want anyone to remember her...
……Bar?
…
…
Later, Yue Ling fell into a coma, and Xiao Goji Berry found the factory in the chaos and asked them for help.
Unfortunately, he was deceived and Yue Ling was made into a catering robot.
With no external reminders, her consciousness remained dormant until He Yuezhe met Chen Shu and witnessed Xiao Goji being killed.
^
"Host, don't you think that the person who first took control of the body had a completely different tone and attitude from Yue Ling now?"
"So, why don't you go look for that person? This is your territory, right?"
“Uu ...
"Is this how it usually talks? It's so disgusting and sticky." Yue Ling, who had come to her senses, kicked the light spot rolling on the ground with a look of disgust.
"Yeah, I'm almost entangled to death by it." He Yuezhe hid behind Yue Ling pitifully, "Miss Yue, will you protect me?"
"Hmph, I won't protect outsiders."
He Yuezhe slowly slid down with a heartbroken look, sat on the ground hugging her legs and said to herself: "Okay, I know what Miss Yue means, I won't bother you anymore."
"I just feel..."
"What do you think?"
"I felt that someone as compassionate and capable as Miss Yue would not refuse to protect someone as weak as me."
"...Are you weak?" There was a crack in Yue Ling's expression, and her brows were furrowed again.
He Yuezhe sighed, turned around and saw her, and came forward to help her calm down: "Ms. Yue, don't always-"
“Puff——”!!
The arrow pierced He Yuezhe's abdomen in the blink of an eye, and blood gushed out and splashed onto Yue Ling's skirt!
Yue Ling widened her eyes and seemed to be frightened as well.
He Yuezhe ignored her expression, covered his abdomen with difficulty, and then fell heavily to the ground!
"Oh my, host!!! Are you okay?!??"
