Chapter 251: Scene 1 (Inverted V) He Yuezhe, we finally meet...
The furnishings around He Yuezhe and Xing disappeared quickly, along with He Yuan, who had just stepped into the house. Everything in the past that had brought them pain and warmth disappeared.
"I'll be waiting here for you, my friend," Xing's voice was always gentle. She patted He Yuezhe's back gently. "If possible, please..."
"Xing...?" He Yuezhe raised his head.
"Please, take me home with you." There was a relieved smile on Xing's face. She raised her hand and stroked He Yuezhe's face.
"Okay, I will, Xing," He Yuezhe said, holding her fading hand. "I will take you home. Trust me."
“…” Xing didn’t say anything else.
She just nodded slightly and smiled brightly.
Starting from the limbs, Xing's body began to decompose bit by bit. Before He Yuezhe could say anything, the Xing in her arms had turned into specks of starlight, circling around her, and then all fell around He Yuezhe.
The twinkling stars turned into grains of sand and disappeared without a trace when blown by the wind.
He Yue lowered her head and saw a soft curtain with no end in sight.
It used to be pure white, but now it began to spread from the place where He Yuezhe's tears fell, gradually turning into flowing colorful colors.
“…” He Yuezhe remained silent, stood up and walked forward.
"Congratulations," the voice of the communicator sounded in my mind, "You have successfully taken this last step."
"..." He Yuezhe lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"You don't seem happy?" the communicator asked with concern. "If you're willing, perhaps you could tell me about it. My master often used me to search for topics related to 'how to heal children.' I think I could help you."
"I……"
"I will be your loyal listener and answer your questions if you wish."
“…”
“…”
"I'm just a little confused. Originally, I thought that Platform and Utopia were causing people to die in extreme sorrow, pain, and despair. I used to really dislike them."
"There's nothing wrong with making a place filled with evil disappear. However, I later learned that their goal was to save humanity, and I happened to be one of the millions of people they saved."
"Although I can indeed make this place disappear for the sake of my friends, what about those who also entered the platform and were liberated? And those countless electronic lives, am I going to let them die like this? I..."
"You seem to have become much softer."
"What……?"
"Before, you believed that only those who were strong, ruthless, and self-centered, who would never lend a hand to the weak and would do anything evil for their own benefit, could survive in your world. However, in the world of that puppet, you saw another possibility, didn't you?"
“…”
"Good people are closely united, just like your name, 'Pomegranate'. They are united and fight together to survive and for others."
"I……"
"You've seen it with your own eyes. In fact, in that world, kind people can survive."
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Well, having said that, everything has two sides. It's true that our goal is to save humanity, but it's also an indisputable fact that our extreme methods have led people into despair and ultimately death."
“…”
"Everyone faces countless choices between two options in life. One wrong move could lead to a tragic end. However, that doesn't mean these choices are always good or bad."
"After all, good and bad are determined by the choices you make. As long as you work hard enough, all your choices will definitely lead to good results."
“…”
"So, you don't need to worry about anything else. Just do what you want to do, be yourself, and do what you think in your heart."
“…”
Frankly speaking, it was difficult for He Yuezhe to describe the feeling in his heart.
It's like the reluctance after knowing the truth, or like not understanding the former's naive cruelty, or like being exhausted and numb to everything after losing his memory.
But yes, as long as you work hard enough and are strong enough, no matter which choice you make, there will be good results.
After a long silence, He Yuezhe finally spoke, "Thank you. You have inspired me."
The communicator then smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is what I should do."
“…”
“…”
A dazzling halo of colorful light came over.
When He Yuezhe opened her eyes again, she had returned to the familiar garden.
The garden was still submerged and soaked in liquid. The originally turbid liquid had now become clear, and was faintly flashing with colorful light.
In the center of the garden, the iconic tassel tree is gone, leaving only a mirror. All the flowers and plants around it have died, making the mirror look particularly abrupt.
The entire garden looked deserted and unattended, which was very different from how it looked when He Yuezhe first came here.
"Colorful, oh, strange, this place has become like this." The communicator said in surprise in the mind.
"Seven colors?" He Yuezhe had returned to her normal size, and her clothes had changed into a white robe. She lifted the hem of her robe and walked carefully towards the mirror in the center of the garden. She asked, "Do these colors have any strange meaning?"
"Well, maybe there is, but I don't know. It's just the first time I've seen it here, and I'm a little surprised." The communicator replied.
“…”
"Mirror?"
"Do you recognize it?"
He Yuezhe walked to the center of the garden. There used to be tassel trees planted there, but now there was a mirror with a blurry surface and a crooked frame.
She folded her arms across her chest and looked carefully at the familiar mirror.
Sure enough, it was it.
"I've seen it before in the Special Supervision Bureau."
"Special Supervision Bureau?"
"Yes, it once served under them,"
"Then you still dare to use it? Aren't you afraid of it..."
“Employ people with confidence, and don’t employ people you doubt.”
“…”
"It's been a long time since we last met. I never thought that we would meet again one day."
“…” He Yuezhe’s face darkened.
"I originally thought you would kill me once and for all that time, but I didn't expect that you only wanted to know the truth about what happened seven years ago. To that end, you even gave me energy, allowing me to return here and no longer be exiled."
In He Yuezhe's original memory, seven years ago, a fire engulfed their home, her friends, and everything she had. She originally thought that her friends entered the platform from that time.
But later, a series of things that did not match this memory made her doubt this memory.
It was not until she experienced Tang Xiqin's world that she met the "Mirror" that seemed particularly strange in her memory. She used the energy it wanted in exchange for the truth she wanted.
"But you're really amazing," the Mirror continued. "Even after learning that that memory was just a dream, hahahaha, you didn't go crazy. You even came out of it so quickly and made it here."
Yes, that memory was just a dream.
Seven years ago, He Yuezhe was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Her friends took care of her day and night until they entered the platform.
“…”
He Yuezhe also regretted it before. If she had realized something was wrong earlier and woke up earlier, could she have stopped her friends from entering the platform?
"And if I remember correctly, that dream was made by that person for you. Even that disaster was our doing. It's really strange that you could become friends with her without any resentment."
However, instead of dwelling on the sadness of the past, it is better to pick up the knife and stab those who create the sadness.
"Hey, Mirror," He Yuezhe raised the corner of his mouth, "After saying so much, did you come here just to mock me?"
"What?!" Mirror sneered, "Hahaha, I came here—"
"Come here to die?" He Yuezhe tilted his head and blinked curiously.
"No, no, what's this about coming here to die? Cough cough cough!" [Mirror] coughed violently a few times, cleared his throat, and his cheeks, no, his cheeks turned slightly red. "I, I'm here to be in charge of the transmission!!"
He Yuezhe: ...?
"Listen up! I'm a highly valued general in the Utopia now, responsible for transporting electronic life forms back and forth between the Utopia and the platform. If you underestimate me, they'll definitely make you pay!"
Where did the [Mirror] that was so arrogant and crazy before go?
Why is it now, actually...
"You look down on me?!" The [Mirror] seemed to see through He Yuezhe's thoughts, "I am, ahem, my master, but your cat!!!"
My master, but your cat???
"You mean Xiao Yu?" He Yuezhe held his forehead with his hand.
Xiao Yu was an NPC that He Yuezhe met in his own world when he first entered the platform. He was not talkative, but very attached to He Yuezhe, who raised him. He was always aggressive towards other people, like a cat.
Later, he sneaked into the platform according to He Yuezhe's instructions and became the system, which was later He Yuezhe's fake system.
After knowing these memories, He Yuezhe was actually not willing to get close to Xiao Yu, including Shi Jining and others, because the person who had truly been with them for so long could not be considered her, and she could not accept their closeness with peace of mind.
But they didn't seem to care about this, especially Xiao Yu. They were not there, but they still sent her things every day.
She simply devised a plan to make Xiao Yu appear and put a part of her soul into him, so that the world would not be destroyed naturally after she left.
But she didn't expect that this guy would find an apprentice behind her back.
"Yes, Xiao Yu, my master!" [Mirror] said very proudly, "He said that we are like this, right..."
"Um?"
[Mirror] froze in the middle of his words.
The mirror surface began to fluctuate like water ripples, and it shook violently. Then, the originally blurry mirror surface became clear.
A girl in a wheelchair slowly appeared in front of He Yuezhe from the mirror.
"Hello, He Yuezhe."
The girl's voice was hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time.
"We finally meet."
...It's her.
