Chapter 71 Scene 29 I was already dead, wasn’t I?! …
"Thin film?" Qian Bao asked, chomping on a piece of hay. "Are you talking about the kind we wrap ourselves in?"
"Yes." He Yuezhe nodded.
After coming out of Boss Li's room, she and Yang Jin happened to meet Qian Bao and his two companions who were carrying large and small bags of things on the stairs going downstairs.
Since Yang Jin fainted early in the morning, He Yuezhe had to turn to ask the other three people about the topic of "humans wrapped in plastic film".
"It seems like this is something she was born with." Qian Die continued. She was holding a large bunch of dried flowers in her arms, and quite a few of them fell while she walked.
Lin Jining tilted his head, and the dried flower wreath on his head almost fell off as he moved: "Yes."
"But this is the first time I've heard that wrapping someone in plastic wrap is to maintain a perfect figure."
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin, there are so many things you don't know." Qian Bao took Lin Jining's wreath with one hand and put it on his own head.
"For example, you don't know where those diary fragments are put."
"Qian Bao...are you trying to trick me?" Lin Jining exposed Qian Bao's thoughts with an innocent look on his face.
"Xiao Lin, you don't believe me?!" Qian Bao was angry.
"No, I'm just asking. If you're unhappy listening to it, I won't say it again."
Lin Jining hid behind He Yuezhe's tall figure, pulled her arm and whispered, "Sister, you don't think we're quarreling, do you?"
"Host! How could there be such a shameless person!?"
"...Oh, what should I do? I'm not buying this."
“That’s too—”
"Ahem, host, you really need to be careful. Otherwise, you'll be dead before the target of your mission dies."
"I still think you need to die first."
“???”
"Of course not."
He Yuezhe took the things from Lin Jining and Qian Bao with a smile.
"Why do I think a mute is arguing with a dead person?"
After saying that, he elbowed Lin Jining behind him and sent him flying!
Then he kicked out again, kicking the leopard out who was standing there in a daze!
The two of them flew in the air in extremely chaotic curves, and then slowly landed on the ground.
"here you go."
He Yuezhe watched them leave, and when he turned around, he saw Qian Die giving him a thumbs up with an expressionless face.
"Thank you for the compliment, sister."
“…”
"Host, host??"
"Why? I don't buy it, but there are plenty of people who do."
"Um," Qian Die scratched her face embarrassedly, "No, you're welcome."
"Let's go quickly, shall we? We still need to take you to register."
"Okay, then please lead the way, sister." This was the first time He Yuezhe learned to speak like this.
Although she couldn't quite remember what "green tea" meant, someone like Lin Jining should be considered green tea, right?
But she didn't seem to have control over it.
Qian Die remained stiff and didn't say another word to her until they walked down the stairs and reached the hall.

"Number 166954801... Your name is too long. Do you have a shorter one?" The waiter in uniform and mask raised his head and asked He Yuezhe.
He Yuezhe looked at Qian Die, who was standing aside like a zombie, indifferent to this, and then looked at the waiter.
"Pomegranate." She said helplessly.
"Pomegranate, okay, please place your right hand on this display."
The waiter took a display screen with flashing blue light from the counter and placed it in front of He Yuezhe.
“Ding—Registration will be completed in 3 seconds!”
He Yuezhe put his hand on it obediently.
"3." A mechanical voice sounded.
After touching the display screen, a strange feeling started from the fingertips and spread to the center of the body.
Some of it felt like an electric shock.
But when He Yuezhe felt it carefully, there was nothing there.
“2.”
“1.”
"Sorry, you have already completed your registration on February 19, 3694 Home Time. Please do not register again!"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I've already registered here."
"February 19, 3694..." The waiter's mask turned horrified. "Are you Yue Ling?!"
"...Do you know me?"
At He Yuezhe's request, Yue Ling was reluctantly willing to come out and communicate with the waiter.
The waiter stood up and excitedly grabbed the tall robot's hand, even his mask broke into pieces.
It had one human eye and one mechanical eye, both spinning around, its mouth wide open as it shouted, "Idol—you signed my autograph!!"
"Have you forgotten me?!"
"I'm Little Mint! Little Mint! We've been on missions together before!!!"
"Yue Ling, you are amazing."
"...Why are you trying to imitate that bastard Lin Jining's speech?"
"You bastard?"
"Oh my, I think this is funny. Besides, that's how I talk, isn't it?"
"Little Mint?" Yue Ling frowned, looking at the boy in front of her who seemed somewhat familiar. "I have been on a mission with you before, but when did I give you an autograph?"
"No, no," Little Mint quickly shook his head, "You wrote my name, and I still carry it with me!"
"Huh? You're a pervert."
"Didn't you tell me to bring it with me?!"
"...Are you addicted to acting?"
"This is... Shi Zao?" He Yuezhe narrowed his eyes. "It seems he has a special liking for this kind of character."
"He Yuezhe, are you asking me?"
"Um?"
"What are you talking about, idol?! I really like you!"
"Don't you remember that we went on a mission together?!"
"By the way, I recently found some very interesting robots. Do you want to go on another mission with me?"
"Why?"
He Yuezhe had just woken up from his sleep and was still a little dazed. He subconsciously refused and said, "No."
Before she could fully control her body, her legs went limp and the huge robot fell backwards to the ground.
A huge buzzing sound surrounded He Yuezhe's ears, and she once again felt the urge to destroy her ears.
But the darkness before me was too thick.
He Yuezhe suddenly found that he could no longer find the location of his "ears".
"My idol's friend—"
"Pomegranate--!!"
“Hurry up! Hurry up! %@%#@@! -- dizzy@@@ --!!! Come and save them! Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!! --”
"Someone here has fainted!!! Anyone who has spare time please come and help!!!"
“——Oh my god!! Why are there two headless people over there?! No no! Come help!!!”
“Here it comes!!!”
"The stretcher is coming! Get out of the way!!!"
…
…
…
How strange.
Why did I faint?
Why can't I touch anything, see anything, and even my ears can't hear anything?
But what’s even more strange is why there are so many people surrounding me. Do they want to save me?
No, that’s not right!!!
I would have died a long time ago, wouldn't I?!
From the first day I came to this platform, I knew clearly that this was a road to death!!
People will die, the world will die, and even my existence will be erased!!!
I have clearly worked so hard and done so well!!
I have clearly demonstrated the existence of “me” and “He Yuezhe” to everyone!
I have clearly become independent of the original owner's consciousness!!!
We have become very good friends!
…But why, why!!?
Why can't I see any possibility of salvation?
Who saved me?
Who am I going to save?
What's the point of saving? ...
I don't seem to know anything anymore.
I seem to know nothing about this place or myself.
I have been forgetting, forgetting so much that I even forgot the purpose of coming here.
——"To live, perhaps, is the answer."
Ah, that’s right, “forgetting” is just a fuse, and “living” is the answer I need to find.
Okay, I admit that, actually, I never get tired of forgetting.
——I am even willing to pledge my allegiance to it!
Because it can do everything.
If you want to ask me why I suddenly think about these things, if you can see my soul, you will know the answer.
A scarred and disabled soul will always be eager to find the "meaning of existence".
So, you will live, you will definitely live, you will live forever...
Because you exist.

"You're awake." The woman's gentle yet cold voice sounded beside He Yuezhe's ears.
That's Qian Die.
He Yuezhe squinted his eyes to adjust to the light in the room, looked at her, and said, "Yes, I'm awake."
"...Where's Yang Jin?"
"Asleep there."
"Oh... I'm a little curious, can you tell the difference between Yue Ling and me?" He Yuezhe asked.
"Because I'm quite selfish, I don't want to be treated as Yue Ling by others."
"...I'm just, your friend." Qian Die lowered her head, holding a bowl of water in her hand, which was so clear that it seemed lifeless.
He Yuezhe nodded, threw in a dried flower that she had hidden in her clothes bag, and then said, "Thank you, Qian Die."
"I used to always wonder, as someone like me living in someone else's body, should I just play that person obediently, or should I negotiate with others as my own person?"
Ripples appeared in the bowl.
"But I'm really selfish. I don't want to lose myself by pretending to be someone else, so..."
He Yuezhe sighed and looked out the window.
Amidst the flourishing flowers, people appreciate and cherish each other.
This was the first time she had seen such a beautiful and warm scene since she came into this world.
"You've only spoken a few words, and you've already mentioned 'selfishness' several times?"
Qian Die said, "Although I don't agree with two people sharing the same body, but from what you said, you will leave, right?"
"...Yes, once this world is destroyed and the mission is complete, I will escape alone."
"Can you tell me your name?"
"Feel sorry."
"But you must remember me, so that I can come back to play with you in the future."
"Okay." Qian Die raised her head, her eyes firm, like a warrior. "I will remember you, please don't break your promise."
"Hmph, it's like we're going to separate now. I'm going to stay here for a long time. After all, it's going to be very troublesome to destroy a world by myself."
He Yuezhe chuckled, took the bowl of water, and drank it in small sips.
Qian Die also smiled and shook her head.
As if she felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy, she changed the subject: "Pomegranate, do you want to know my real name?"
"Hey, isn't Qiandie your real name?"
"No, Qiandie was given to me by my parents. I rarely use it now. People usually call me..."
"Bang--"
"Qian Zhuangshi! You didn't do anything to her, did you?"
"Qian Bao, what's going on in there?"
Outside the door.
Qian Bao held a spatula and a soup ladle in his hands, and his back was covered with dried flowers and hay. He kicked the door open angrily, and Lin Jining stood behind him, questioning him expressionlessly.
Inside the door.
He Yuezhe was holding a bowl in both hands, staring at them blankly. Qian Die, who was standing nearby with a gentle expression, also turned around upon hearing the sound and glanced at Lin Jining.
The four of them looked at each other.
"What?! Someone must have lied about the information! I'm going to get rid of it right now!!!" Qian Bao's face turned red, he roared angrily, and then ran away.
"...I hope I didn't disturb you guys?" Lin Jining asked cautiously, poking his head out from behind the door.
"beat……"
"Sorry to bother you." He Yuezhe frowned and said unhappily.
"Y-Really? Sorry, I'm leaving now."
"Are you getting bolder?"
As soon as He Yuezhe finished speaking, Lin Jining's steps suddenly stopped.
He turned around and met He Yuezhe's smiling eyes.
"You..." Lin Jining walked into the room, "Are you being mean to me?"
"Um?"
