Chapter 84 Epilogue: Tulips (I) “Because this whole world…
"...Are you cultivating a 'Saint Mother', a 'Salvation Master', or a 'Devil', a 'Murderer'?"
"The answer is obvious."
"In neither of the two worlds I've experienced has there been any place where 'combat is possible'."
"In other words, you intentionally let your employees fight and kill each other."
"But the act of 'salvation' clearly doesn't require killing!"
"As you said, creating a world made up of employees is difficult, but it can definitely be accomplished."
"Since this 'mission target' is already 'dead', why would we kill them? We can just wait!"
"What if it's a non-employee?"
"The story background, timeline... everything will be prepared."
"Isn't it a bit twisted to add the clause 'killing' to something as simple as fulfilling a wish?"
"So many people have died. Died in front of you, died in front of me."
"Why did they die? How did they die? Hey, Memory Master, do you remember clearly?"
"The world will cover up the truth, but as an outsider, do you also want to cover it up?"
"From the first day I came to this platform, you have been full of malice towards me."
"I brought nothing with me, so I can't take anything away, right?"
“…”
"Why, do you think you've made a mistake?"
"Do you think I, who should be a demon, destroying and ravaging every world, am always going against you?"
"Host," the system finally spoke, "Do you know what happened to the last person who spoke to us like this?"
"Hmph, what a shame, you don't have the courage or ability to kill me."
He Yuezhe felt that the little walnut was supporting him, and the plush touch was slowly disappearing at the same time.
"—Because the whole world belongs to me."
"If you want to assassinate this world with your own hands and don't care about the "existence" of others, you are welcome to do it."
"Host, when exactly did it happen..."
"You might be able to find the answer in my lost memories."
"Of course, you can also ask Lin Jining. He seems to know a lot."
"But for this, you need to use your brain and figure out how to bring him back from 'hell', right?"

By the time He Yuezhe felt the existence of her "body" again, she had been wandering alone in the dark for three days.
"Host, hello, welcome back."
"Hmm... fried rice... stir-fry... with oil... vegetables?... Hmm... I don't know..." The old woman's low murmur reached her ears.
He Yuezhe opened her eyes tentatively. The gentle yellow light was shrouded in layers of gauze, slowly illuminating her world.
A dry and painful feeling spread from his eyeballs, and He Yuezhe had no choice but to squint and turn his head to look where the sound came from.
—An old woman with a wrinkled face.
She was wearing a plain floral shirt, and the thin blanket she was wearing was barely hanging on her because of her movements.
"Eat... mmm... mmm! It tastes good... like... like..."
Her mouth twitched a little, and fragmented words came out one by one.
He Yuezhe sat up, lifted the outermost layer of the four quilts covering his body, and gently draped it over the old woman's shoulders.
The wind blew in from the half-open window facing the bed, making the wooden window creak.
In the flowerpots hanging outside the window, the tulips growing wildly reflect the shimmering light of the sea under the sunlight.
There were also a few white roses growing diagonally among them, as if they had been placed there intentionally by someone with a caring heart.
The room seemed to be filled with incense, and the sweet smell filled the nose.
The old woman also fell into a deep sleep because of this.
…
"Host? Why are you ignoring me?"
"What do you want to say?"
"Ah, I've given you a new body, also a catering robot. This time it's definitely an empty shell, so feel free to act now."
"Task panel."
"receive!"

“…”
"Host? Host, please speak."
“…”
He Yuezhe looked at all the values that were almost full, and at the sentence "Awakening of Life and Death" that showed "Same Values as Initial Knowledge", she was speechless.
Did I do the right thing in the "death escape" plan that I had formulated from the beginning?
…
"Hey, hey, when did you wake up?" The old woman's voice brought He Yuezhe back to reality.
She wiped her hands on her apron, raised her hand and placed it on He Yuezhe's forehead: "You don't have a fever anymore. You're better so quickly."
"You really make me worry less!" After saying that, he hugged me.
"Ouch!" He Yuezhe felt the pressure and couldn't help but cry out softly, "It hurts..."
"pain?"
"You can talk. I thought you could only cook." The old woman loosened her grip, held him for a while, and then left reluctantly.
“I, I…”
Only then did He Yuezhe notice that her appearance was no different from that of an ordinary human, and her voice was extremely similar to her own.
"What? Are you burned silly?" asked the old woman.
Seeing her concerned expression, He Yuezhe shook his head and said, "No."
"Nonsense!" The old woman tapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Then lie down for a while. I'll go get the porridge—"
"Hey hey hey hey hey, why is it blurry??!"
As the old woman was talking, she suddenly screamed, quickly climbed down from the bed and rushed out of the "room".
The crude wooden door was slammed down by her with a loud noise, and it broke into several pieces and fell onto the lime ground.
"Oh, it's okay, I'll clean it up in a bit. You should have a good rest and don't hurt yourself again—"
"Oh my goodness, the quality of the door he installed is too poor. After dinner, can you accompany me to the building materials market?"
"By the way, I'll buy you some--"
The old woman's voice gradually became quieter, and the sound of objects colliding became a series of sounds.
"Hehe." A furry thing suddenly crawled under the quilt and came to He Yuezhe's hand.
"...Little Nut?" He Yuezhe took it out. "How did you find me?"
"Because, huhuhu, your shape is so obvious, I saw you right away, I didn't even need to look for you!"
The little nut showed off its abilities by dancing around. A piece of white paper appeared in its hand, and as it moved, a little man who looked like He Yuezhe appeared in its hand.
"Oh, is this me?" He Yuezhe poked the little paper man who was smiling a little exaggeratedly and asked.
Little Nut nodded: "Yes, this is what I see you as!"
"Gurgle gurgle."
"That's amazing." He Yuezhe praised.
"Gurgle gurgle."
"Of course!" Little Nut put the person into its little pocket, clasped its arms around its chest and tilted its head back, looking very proud.
"Gurgle gurgle."
"Host, aren't you going to find your mission target?"
"Gurgle, gurgle."
"Hey, did you hear that sound?" Little Walnut hid behind He Yuezhe's arm in fear.
"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle."
“The porridge is here!!!”
With the creaking sound of wooden boards being stepped on, the old woman rushed into the room hurriedly carrying a pot of boiling indescribable things.
"Ah, be careful—"
"Woooa ...
“Gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle…”
…
"Gurgle."
"Is this a nut? Why is it hairy?"
The old woman carefully stroked the little nut's body with her fingers and said curiously, "It can even talk. It's quite cute."
"No, don't touch me!" Little Nut stood by the pot with his back to the pot, stirring with a large iron spoon and whispering.
"Oh, it's been 4,000 years. Don't be so conservative. Auntie, just touch you. You won't gain weight, so what are you afraid of?"
4000 years?
...it's been 85 years?
The little nut couldn't argue with the old woman, so he could only cry silently and let her touch him, looking particularly pitiful.
"Hiss, was it you who climbed up from the windowsill last night?"
The old woman put on her glasses as she touched the pot. Her already serious face, coupled with the glasses, scared the little nut so much that he shivered and almost fell into the pot.
"No, no, it's me!" said the little nut tremblingly.
"Hey, I don't want to say anything to you, but just come up. Why are you carrying flowers for the old man next door?" The old woman sighed.
She slowly smoothed down the bristling hairs on Nut's body.
"Good people, people do good things, that's it."
"I see."
"Well, as you can see, this is the only bed I have," the old woman said, lowering her rolled-up sleeves. "The rest of the furniture is still in the central building. I'll be grateful for your help moving it over the next few days."
"Can you do it?" She turned her gaze to He Yuezhe with concern.
"Yeah." He Yuezhe nodded.
"You're a catering robot. If you can't move it, don't force it. Just call me. I'm the weightlifting champion of the last Grand Garden Competition. I'm just as strong as you robots."
"good."
^
"good."
He Yuezhe stood aside. She didn't expect that the body was so thin. She was almost hit by the desk lamp in her hand. She had to obediently step aside and watch the old woman and Xiao Jianuo move.
"How do you make this thing so strong?" the old woman asked curiously, poking at the stretcher that had been folded out of the little nut and magnified many times. "It can even fly! It's amazing."
"This is, this is..." Little Nut still looked a little uncomfortable.
He Yuezhe answered for it: "It's 'magic'. Origami magic."
"Right, right, right! Origami, origami magic! I'm using origami magic!"
"Can you teach me?" The old woman looked at Little Nut with starry eyes.
But she held up the wardrobe behind her back with one hand to try to block the way, but it still scared the already timid Little Nut so much that he fainted after taking a breath.
"Oh, pomegranate, come and hold it."
"I'll move it by myself," the old woman gave He Yuezhe a thumbs up, "maybe it will be faster than moving it with you guys."
"Hey, are you really moving?"
Before He Yuezhe could answer, an old man's voice suddenly interrupted from the side.
