【Asagi's candy.】
【Li Mingyue's cross necklace. 】
【Xiao Ying's peach blossom cufflinks. 】
…
Chaoyan didn't know whether Su Mingan would choose her. It was actually very obvious who he trusted the most among these three people.
"You will probably choose Li Mingyue." Chao Yan looked at the moonlight outside the window, without a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Whether from this situation or his usual behavior, he would definitely choose Li Mingyue, whom he trusted the most.
And she... this time she was just a disgusting riddle person who couldn't even speak clearly. How could he choose her?
If he had chosen her, she would have taken him directly to the edge of the world and removed the control mark on him today... and there would have been no more... Su Wensheng assassinating Su Mingan in the sea. Even if he had chosen Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying would have brought him to her.
But he... would really only choose Li Mingyue - this was the worst choice.
Apart from being able to learn about Li Mingyue's "Immortal Talisman·New Construction" and a rule book written by Li Mingyue with his life, Su Mingan would not get any other information.
At this moment, Chao Yan felt a deep despair. Since the first round, the heavy sense of destiny has been tightly wrapped around her, like a spider's thread hanging around her neck.
"You really look like an NPC...Su Mingan."
"You could have been more willful and tried something you wouldn't have done otherwise..."
…
【Asagao Notes:】
[Game days: Day 7, early morning.]
[Inner note: He has been marked by the control of the gods, so I must defeat the tentacle monster on the beach to allow him to cross the edge of the world and remove the control mark.]
[This is not an easy task, but there is no other way. ]
Because he didn’t choose me.
[Su Mingan, Su Mingan, you are really...too hard to conquer. If I get too close to you, you won't take me seriously. If I stay too far away from you, you won't believe me.]
[If I also have a favorable impression of you, how much would my favorable impression of you be? ]
…
Chao Yan stood on the beach by the sea, the waves brushing against her bare feet.
Strands of black hair fluttered in the wind, and as she walked alone towards the huge tentacle monster, she looked up at the starry sky again.
The starry sky was still as beautiful as ever, and the stars were exceptionally bright. This week, people had been tracing back into history, so the starry sky was becoming more and more gorgeous. She could even faintly see overlapping shadows.
She walked alone towards the sea - the dark sea under the night sky was the most lonely, vast, huge and frightening thing in the world. However, the girl walked towards the sea alone, step by step, wearing only thin clothes and barefoot.
No one accompanied her, no one helped her, and she walked through these repetitive days from beginning to end.
Until now, the other protagonist would not know how much she had done for him in secret. He would not know that if she had not been in the shadow of the story, he would have been shattered in the light.
And she wouldn't know that - in his eyes, she was also an NPC whose behavior pattern would not change in his death rollback.
The two people are constantly shuttling back and forth in the flashbacks, viewing each other as "NPCs with fixed behavior patterns", reminding each other, missing each other, and despairing of each other.
Lonely to each other.
Flowers and leaves never meet.
"[When she opens at noon],"
She slowly recited the poem that Su Mingan had read to her more than five times.
“[Hard as coral].”
He raised his sword, his hair turned the color of flames, and his entire body began to burn like a raging fire.
Liquid began to flow out of her body, which was caused by burning, pain and burning. Her long red hair fluttered behind her, and the flames were like bird feathers, spreading behind her.
It hurts so much.
…but no one cared.
No one cares that there is a girl at the edge of the world. She doesn’t have much strength, nor does she have strong faith. She can only defeat the tentacle monster and save the other protagonist from the predicament by burning her life.
In this huge, long, and desperate tragedy movie, there is no heroine's story on the screen. The perspective is always focused on the male protagonist who is still persisting, and all the audience cannot see what the heroine has done in the shadows.
She couldn't remember how many times she had burned her life.
During the long journey, in the repeated cycles, time and time again... she had long lost her memory.
Sometimes it was to escape, sometimes it was to save him, sometimes it was to advance the plot——
"[The sun is near the glass],"
It hurts every time.
The brain seemed to be burned, the retina seemed to have turned into the color of flames, those beautiful, colorful tones turned into dull gray-black, the nasal cavity was filled with scalding gas, bubbles appeared on the lips, and a sound like boiling water came from the throat.
However, this pain made her smile.
It's not that she's not afraid of pain, she's just... mocking her own fate - what is she fighting for? As a human, she's defying a god who has the power to rewind? Or as a "player", she's defying a high-dimensional creature who's above her?
How arrogant—how overconfident—must she be to keep flying into the flame like this?
"[…To see her shine]."
“Sizzle!”
The next moment, a violent flash of light burst out from her body.
Like a long, sharp gust of wind - it rushed towards the tentacle monster that was so huge that it blocked out the sun.
The wind howling in the rotten forest is not as strong as her. The swallows flapping their wings in the waves are like her sword.
