Chapter 75: Scene 33 "Xiaozhe, I wish you a peaceful life...
“Dangdang.”
A cube that was very familiar to everyone present lay quietly in the palm of He Yuezhe's open hand.
He Yuezhe handed it to Qian Die and asked, "Look at what this is?"
"Toxin... No, this is the robot's life core?"
As Qian Dieyuezhe expected, she did not take the cube, but just squinted her eyes and looked at it.
"Center, core?" Jian said in shock while posing.
Qian Bao seemed to be startled as well, and the look in his eyes when he looked at He Yuezhe became strange.
"Sister, I think I've seen this before." Lin Jining came over and whispered in He Yuezhe's ear.
"Host?! This person is so shameless!!!"
“…”
"Qian Die," He Yuezhe said, pressing the cube into Qian Die's tightly clenched hand. "You know 'Shiban', right?"
"This is her vital core. You must have known it the first time you saw me, right?"
He Yuezhe's gaze swept over Lin Jining and the others, and finally stopped at Qian Die's eyes.
Qian Die's hands were scratched by the cube, leaving several bloody marks, which soon solidified into scars: "...I am your friend."
"I won't do anything to hurt you."
She quickly handed the cube back to He Yuezhe.
“…”
He Yuezhe looked up at the fluorescent lamp hanging on the dark ceiling, surrounded by flying insects. The halo gradually blurred her vision.
The few tiny people standing on the same land as her were once again pushed by the waves towards—
"'Time and a Half' wants me to kill this world, right?"
"You are indeed the only one who can see the future."
Qian Die was silent for a few seconds before answering, "Yes, that madman, Shiban, can't wait for you to destroy the world."
"But why?" Waves of heart-wrenching pain came from the body of the tall robot again. He Yuezhe tilted his head and asked.
Qian Die said: "Because 'only killing can bring truth'."
"Pomegranate, choose one."
"Kill Shiban, or kill the world."
"——On the day it snows, many people will die."
He Yuezhe walked over and opened the door with "Medical Room" written in small seal script.
"I don't want to do anything else but this."
"So, hurry up and leave. It's best to stay away from me, so that I won't affect you..."
…
"Host, why did you suddenly remember what I said to you earlier? Let me think, what was your response to me before—oh, "I'm looking forward to it!"
"But it's been dozens of days."
Walk into the room.
He Yuezhe ignored Yang Jin who quietly returned to the hospital bed and pretended to be asleep. He found a rocking chair, lay down, closed his eyes and began to rest.
"I have a good memory, isn't that okay?"
"Hey, host, I do believe it, but this——"
"Oops, I let it slip again. Anyway, I won't let that collection system randomly collect your memories anymore!"
"Please put your trust in me!"
"...You've been acting strange lately."
"What? No, I just dealt with some 'bad stuff', I shouldn't be affected???"
“Crash—”
The door was closed.
He Yuezhe turned his head and saw Yang Jin who was pretending to be asleep.
The door must have been open, so the wind just blew right onto him, and he probably closed it because he was afraid of the cold...
That’s not right, “cold”?
"Yang Jin, are you cold?" He Yuezhe asked.
Yang Jinding stood by the door. He turned his head stiffly, his expression unnatural. "Yes, a little. What's wrong? Are you hot, Boss?"
"Now it is..."
He Yuezhe finally discovered a suspicious point in this world setting!
——In 3915, the year He Yuezhe came to this world, was it a cold period, a warm period, or a hot period?!
Obviously, some people will feel cold, and obviously everything here is so gloomy...
But where is the sun, and all these flourishing things? !
Since this world is shaped according to the imagination of the source of the world, then whether it is a hot period or a cold period, it must be related to the state of the source of the world!
"3915," Yang Jin said cautiously, "What's wrong with you, Boss?"
"Do you need me to tell you about the, uh, background of this world?"
"How is Chen Shu now...?!"
"There are hot and cold periods here, right?"
He Yuezhe asked two different questions to the system and Yang Jin at the same time.
"Yes, yes."
"Well, come to think of it, it seems that this division has not been used in recent years..." Yang Jin scratched his head, curled up in the quilt, shaking and sniffing as he spoke.
"Chen Shu? Ah, host, you mean the target of your mission."
"Her condition hasn't changed much. It's still the same as when you died last time. It's just—"
"Thank you!"
"Boss, wait! Where are you going? You haven't fully recovered yet, why don't you take a rest first--"
"Host?"
"I, I'm going to find Chen Shu!"
^
Open the door.
Run down the stairs.
Run out of the flower shop.
The energy of this body has almost dried up, and He Yuezhe can only use the life energy she had stored in advance to barely run on this Baihuo Avenue.
"Host?"
"Why are you suddenly thinking of looking for a mission target? Do you have any new ideas to obtain energy more quickly this time?"
"But you clearly don't need to worry about her! She'll die on her own. All you have to do is 'wait'!"
"...That's because... I want to watch her die."
The soothing scent of flowers and plants gradually faded away.
The violent hum of the factory rang in my ears.
Next is the department store with a pair of red couplets posted on it.
Warning! Warning!
[Energy is about to run out! Shutting down soon! ! ! ]
"I'm sorry, He Yuezhe."
"It's just that death is like honey to everyone in this world, and I want to taste it too."
Yue Ling's voice was emotionless and lifeless as she narrated slowly.
The crackling sound of electricity immediately spread throughout the body.
"Yue Ling, no, Yue Ling... I can save you. Trust me, okay? I can definitely do it. I won't break my promise this time...!!"
He Yuezhe barely managed to reach the platform for the subway before the phone was turned off.
"I will never forget you again. We will live together. Please... Yue Ling, you can't die..."
"He Yuezhe, Chen Shu once told me, 'Only those who have no reason to live can die.'"
Looking up, He Yuezhe saw only a thick black void, with faint colorful light spots floating in the air, like fireflies.
The bus stop sign was blank, with the word "death" written in large letters in a strange font.
"Now, I can finally die. Won't you celebrate for me?"
“BOOM——”!!!
The ground collapsed.
It happened to be the area under He Yuezhe's feet.
"He Yuezhe," the girl's cold voice rang out in the darkness, "Don't save me, I deserve to die, I really deserve to die."
"Chen...Shu...?"
…
…
…
"Skipping, um...skipping food, Xiaozhe, what does this mean?"
——"Xiao Shu, you are so stupid! It was the dean who deliberately didn't give us food."
"Look at you, you're already so thin, and you have to do so much work all day long. Sooner or later, you'll need it! Humph, anyway, this is a bad thing!"
"But I really like growing vegetables. Look, I grew some carrots, and I'm giving them to you!"
——"It's such a small one, eat it yourself."
——"By the way, carrots protect your eyes. This way it will be easier for you to catch bugs in the future! Hahahahahahahahaha...!"
"Xiaozhe!!! You know I'm most afraid of bugs!"
——"I was just teasing you. You look so unhappy every day, and it's not good for your health."
"W-What's the matter with that!"
"I have my vegetable garden and you, Xiaozhe, which is enough for me. Whether I am happy or not...is not important at all."
——"That statement, I don't like you anymore!"
"W-what?"
——"Will you die just because I don't like you anymore?"
"Xiaozhe! Don't say such unlucky words, or they will come true!"
——"Hmph, I'll keep an eye on you!"
…
…
"My, my birthday? What does birthday mean?"
——"Well, since you were picked up from the orphanage today, I decided to make today your birthday."
"Then, then, then..."
——"Well, come on, this is a gift I saved up to buy you from the [store], you have to like it!"
"Xiaozhe, didn't you say before that the [store] was dangerous?"
——"...I went there during the day. Besides, I was a [customer], not an [employee]. What's so dangerous about that?"
——"Hey, hurry up, open it and take a look. Do you like it?"
"Yeah! It's a bear pendant! Xiaozhe, how did you know that?!"
——"Hey, secret!"
"I like it very much, thank you Xiaozhe! I will always carry it with me so that I won't lose it——"
——"Ouch, be careful not to prick yourself with the pin!"
…
…
"Xiaozhe, it's not necessary, right? This is too, too big."
——"I'm happy to."
"But I can't handle it all by myself. And after buying this vegetable garden, there's not much of your compensation left, is there?"
——"Oh, you want me to live here with you?"
"No! I'm just a little worried about you. It's really dangerous here."
——"I have it to keep me company. Besides, I'm pretty good too."
——"Before coming to the orphanage, I was always alone."
"Will you come back to see me?"
——"Of course, Xiaoshu, you are my best friend."
——"Even if I were to die, with only a drop of blood left in my body, I would still crawl back to find you."
"Xiaozhe, don't say these things, it's not good."
——"Okay, okay, this is just an analogy. How can I really die?"
"Then you'll become an old man."
——"Yes, I am..."
——"Oh, I have to go now. Xiao Shu, take care of yourself. If you need anything, just put up a flag at the entrance of the vegetable garden and I will come to help!"
"Really?"
——"...Don't disbelieve me, I'm really amazing."
…
…
…
"Xiaozhe, my vegetable garden has been doing very well since you left."
"I have met many, many good friends. They are very good to me and I am very good to them too."
"But you never came back."
"I also wondered if you were dead."
"But you're so amazing, you'll definitely come back to me in one piece, so I've suppressed this thought forever and ever."
"By the way, I changed my name. Now I'm called Chen Shu."
…
“Xiaozhe, Xiaozhe, I killed someone! I killed someone!! If I hadn’t been chosen by the platform, my blood could have saved that person, but, but——”
"Why, why, why me!?"
"Why won't you let me die!!!"
…
"Xiaozhe, it's February 14th again, and my vegetable garden has grown another year older without me being able to see it."
"Well, it would be nice if we could celebrate its birthday in this world."
…
"Xiaozhe, even if I die here quietly, you must not stay for me, you must keep living."
"That's what we agreed on, isn't it?"
…
"He Yuezhe, you made the wrong decision."
"I, a sinner, a criminal, an evil person, should have died on that day when the snow fell heavily...!"
"You should wrap me in snow, put me somewhere where no one can see me, and then let me rot slowly!"
…
…
…
“Tick…”
"Xiaozhe, you can call me Xiaoshu!"
"Xiaozhe, what are you doing?"
"Xiaozhe, come and play with us!"
"Xiaozhe, look, these are the vegetables I planted!"
"Xiaozhe, you really don't want to try it?"
"Xiaozhe, the dean scolded me again today."
"Xiaozhe, your hair is too messy, can I braid it for you?"
"Xiaozhe, you must get better soon and defeat the disease!"
"Xiaozhe, will we be good friends for life?"
"Xiaozhe."
"Xiaozhe!"
"Xiaozhe..."
…
“Tick…tick…”
"Xiaozhe!"
"Xiaozhe, I wish you a peaceful and safe life."
"Me? Then I'll just wish myself... um, I can't think of anything."
…
…
…
Countless memories that were erased by He Yuezhe now resurfaced around her.
They kept calling her name, and finally turned into [sugar water] and dripped into the [void].
Yue Ling, you are wrong.
Not only death is honey, but life is too.
The closer you get, the warmer it is, but also the more painful it is.
This is true for humans, robots, and everything in this world...!
As long as it exists, as long as it exists...!!
Tell me, do you still exist...?
^
"Pomegranate?"
"Pomegranate, are you very tired? Let's talk after you have rested well."
The thin figure of the girl suddenly appeared, and the thorns of her turtleneck sweater pricked He Yuezhe's palms, making them slightly itchy.
He Yuezhe closed his eyes.
Chen Shu, it's great that you still exist! ...
