Chapter 76: Scene 34: I live for her, bear this for her...
"Pomegranate?"
The girl's slender hand, wrapped in a thick layer of plastic film, appeared in He Yuezhe's sight, shaking gently.
"You're awake."
Chen Shu was still wearing her turtleneck sweater and was standing next to He Yuezhe, slightly bent over.
"Is this... your home?" He Yuezhe asked.
After the scan, she was surprised to find that the energy in this body was now more abundant than ever before.
Chen Shu frowned and said, "How dare you ask such a question?"
"I originally thought you were just going out to take out the trash and come back, but after so long, when I opened the door, you weren't even outside."
Chen Shu withdrew his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you lie to me?"
"Host, I remember you seemed to have seen Chen Shu before you died last time?"
“…”
“…”
"Why aren't you talking?" Chen Shu asked as he sat on another single sofa, holding a bowl of instant vegetable soup.
He Yuezhe said, "Did you bring me back from the platform?"
"No," Chen Shu replied, changing the TV channel. "You came here on your own, through the door."
"Host, that's indeed the case."
"Perhaps the source of the world sensed your urgency and cleared a path for you to come directly here."
"Can the source of the world change the world at any time?"
"Well... originally it wasn't possible, but the source of the evil side of this world disappeared, so the source of the world took the initiative to accept this job."
"I see."
"Well, Chen Shu, are you free in the next few days?" He Yuezhe twisted his neck and turned to ask Chen Shu who was watching the movie with great interest.
Chen Shu seemed startled by He Yuezhe's sudden words. She took several tries to keep the bowl of soup balanced. Then she turned around and said bitterly, "Hmm."
"Let me think about it. After I've rested well, shall we go to the amusement park?" He Yuezhe said.
"Amusement park? What's that for?"
"I haven't been there either, but maybe it's on TV."
He Yuezhe leaned on the armrest of the sofa, propped up his head, and lazily pointed at the TV, saying, "Don't places like that always like to advertise themselves?"
"Ah, really..."
"Opening! Opening promotion!"
"Damage Mountain Amusement Park officially opens today! Everyone come and see it!!"
"Host, this commercial is such a jarring product placement. It's a bit weird to put it in a movie."
"That means I guessed right."
"Guess? Host, when did you guess, what did you guess?"
"The statement is looking at me."
"But host, isn't Chen Shu right in front of you?"
"There really is an advertisement." Chen Shu was very surprised. He put down the bowl and started to record the appointment number displayed on TV.
"It looks like fun."
He Yuezhe watched the TV——
A Ferris wheel filled with dead bodies, a roller coaster speeding at 1000 km/h, and a giant guillotine door that should be the entrance to the amusement park...
Although the amusement parks I have seen do look like this, since I am already here, there is no need to do all this, right?
He Yuezhe said softly: "Well, I think..."
^
"Good morning."
"Good morning!"
Chen Shu was wearing a warm white turtleneck sweater with a brown cardigan casually draped over it.
For the lower body, she chose a black leather long skirt, and a small brown bear pendant was hung on the metal belt around her waist.
Her brown hair was braided into a pigtail and hung down over her shoulders, with a small flower made of dry wheat ears inserted at the end.
Although it was a bit messy, Chen Shu said he liked it, so He Yuezhe didn't want to make any more changes.
"I really like the braids you made for me." Chen Shu seemed to notice He Yuezhe's eyes and said.
"I know," He Yuezhe smiled and started walking out the door, "Of course you like it."
"Hey—then why were you staring at me for so long just now?"
"I think you're beautiful."
"Okay," Chen Shu said, "but what shoes should I wear to the amusement park?"
He Yuezhe pointed at the shoe rack filled with slippers and asked, "...Do you have any other shoes?"
“…”
"Um?"
…
"Do I really not need to wear rain boots?" He Yuezhe was walking behind Chen Shu when he saw Chen Shu suddenly turn around and asked.
He Yuezhe shook his head and asked, "Who told you to wear rain boots when going to the amusement park?"
"A, a friend?"
"Yue Ling?"
"ha?"
"It's not her," Chen Shu said, lowering his head as he walked towards the warm sunlight. "It's a friend who hasn't come here yet. I've been waiting for her."
This is most likely the work of the source of the world.
From the moment I left the house, I inexplicably saw this road connecting Chen Shu's house and Baihuo Avenue.
Now, the light is no different from the setting sun in the evening.
"Chen Shu," He Yuezhe asked, "how much do you know about this world?"
"World? Isn't this place called home?" Chen Shu was a little confused.
"That's the same idea."
"Oh, Homeland, it's just a small island that sank to the bottom of the sea due to war," Chen Shu said, "and everyone is wrapped in this film... What exactly do you want to ask?"
"Chen Shu, this is really strange. We are clearly in the sea."
"What did you say..."
"But why can humans move and breathe freely? Chen Shu, can you answer me?"
"Pomegranate... I, I don't know either..."
"Really?" He Yuezhe walked forward, twisted Chen Shu's shoulders and forced her to look at him. "Then why do humans wrap themselves in plastic wrap to maintain a perfect figure?"
"Why does every human in this world have their own 'home'?"
"Why is it that once a robot comes into close contact with humans, its life core ceases to function?!"
“Why?! Why?!!”
"Why do humans kill each other for profit?!"
"Why would a world sink to the bottom of the ocean just because of war?!!"
"Why is this world so cold, so cold?!!!"
"Pomegranate……"
"Why is that..."
"Why, why is everyone here... living towards death...?"
"Why...why...does everyone...want to die?"
"Can you answer me? The Creator, God, or Chen Shu?!"
He Yuezhe asked in an almost hysterical roar.
“Can you answer me??!!!!”
“I, I…”
"Pomegranate, calm down. Every world has its own operating rules. This is not something we can interfere with." Chen Shu patted He Yuezhe's shoulder with some concern.
"Oh," He Yuezhe suddenly raised his head and smiled at Chen Shu, "Are you fooled by my superb acting skills? Don't take these nonsense questions seriously."
"What……?"
"Let me think, what should I call you? Wuming, Shiban, or something else?"
"...Can't you wait until I've finished this act before exposing me?"
The girl's expression suddenly changed, and her originally gentle expression became indifferent: "I will feel very unfulfilled if I do this."
He Yuezhe saw that he was right, so he smiled and did not answer.
“…”
"I was indeed frightened by what you said," the girl said, her hands on her hips, somewhat dissatisfied, "otherwise you would have no chance of finding my vulnerability."
He Yuezhe, who had felt her strange since the first time he saw her, was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately nodded.
"Yeah! But I'm curious, did you and Chen Shu reach any agreement? Why did she help you so much?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"If you don't tell me, I'll keep you alive."
"Hmph!" The girl glared at He Yuezhe fiercely. "Okay, it seems you already understand the underlying logic of this world."
"Then I really have nothing to hide."
"I, Wuming, am the medium of the source of this world."
"I live for her, bear all this for her, and be friends with you for her."
Wuming lifted his hair, and the hair instantly turned pure black from top to bottom.
"Last time you said you wanted to see my own face, so this is it."
"Is this face from the statement good-looking?"
The words fell.
Dozens of scars appeared on that face in an instant, as if cut by a knife!
Blood streamed down her face, dripping along her slightly trembling eyelashes.
On her right temple, there was a cross-shaped scar slanting diagonally.
——It is most likely caused by burns.
"That's right," He Yuezhe nodded with satisfaction, "This is the face of Xiaoshu that I'm familiar with."
"Okay, I can barely treat you as her now, let's go."
Ignoring the gradually darkening expression on Wuming's face, He Yuezhe took her hand and skipped forward.
"Remember to restore the light. Xiaoshu and I don't like this overly bright world."
"Also, has the amusement park been built according to my specifications? I don't want Xiao Shu to get hurt."
"Also, you'd better act realistically, otherwise I'll be very angry."
"at last……"
"He Yuezhe."
"What's the matter?"
"I really don't understand why they all want to be friends with you."
"Like you can't figure yourself out?"
“…”
"Relax and be my friend. It's fun, right?"
“…”
“…”
"……Um."
^
"Aren't you going to explain?" He Yuezhe sat on the bench, watching Wuming playing bumper cars alone.
"Host……"
"Oh, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's the platform's rules. I can't tell you until the second mission is over."
"So, you want to kill me?"
"N-N-N-N-N-How dare you! Host, alright alright, this medium is actually pretty much as she said."
The system turned into a kitten and rubbed against He Yuezhe's hand like a flattering cat.
"It's just a representation of the world's origin created to facilitate the actions of the executors."
"... Chen Shuo died a long time ago, right?"
"Well... Host, I just remembered. No wonder the mission target's name in the file was—"
"My guess was correct, wasn't it?"
"Host, didn't I tell you this before? To reduce the difficulty, it is necessary to—"
"But the soul of the statement is still here. She really is still looking at me, right?"
"As the source of the world, as long as this world is not destroyed, it will all be—"
"Ah, host, I let it slip again!"
“…”
"Host?"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!" He Yuezhe couldn't help but laugh, "How come even you get fooled!!"
"I don't care about her at all!" said He Yuezhe.
“Otherwise, why wouldn’t I come here to question you—“Why on earth is the target of my mission my friend?”!?”
"What are you laughing at?" came an unknown voice.
It turned out that she had finished a round of play.
He Yuezhe shook his head, stood up, and pulled her to the next amusement facility, saying casually, "Nothing."
"You're not laughing at me, are you?"
"Huh? No, I was just laughing. How could someone crash into a wall while playing bumper cars?"
“He Yuezhe, you——!!!”
