In a panic, Yamada Choichi rushed into a store on the street.
Most of the shops were closed long ago, only a few were still open. The shop owner was a kind old lady who was taking care of flowers. Seeing him in such a mess, she was surprised for a moment, pointed to the backyard and asked him to hide in it.
Yamada Machi quickly hid inside, crouching in a bush, completely covering himself, and holding his breath.
Suddenly, a weak voice came from the side: "...Brother, who is chasing you?"
Yamada Machiichi was almost frightened to jump up. When he looked closely, he saw short brown hair, a black forehead band, and bright pupils - it was actually Wang Xingkong.
He just hid in a random place, how could he run into someone squatting there?!
"You're here... Bah, why am I playing a joke at this time? I really can't stand the two-dimensional world." Yamada Machi lowered his voice and said, "Wang Xingkong, why are you here?"
"I sneaked to Luowasha from the Disciple Game. I can't be too conspicuous, so I hid and waited to board the ship, otherwise what if I was pulled back?" Wang Xingkong blinked his big eyes: "Uh, you are a pair from Yamada Town, right? I have seen the photos of the top players on the list. Who is chasing you?"
“Ah…” Yamada Machi sighed, “A sickly girl.”
He clearly felt Wang Xingkong's eyes light up: "A sickly girl is chasing you? Okay, okay."
This guy was obviously poisoned by anime and thought it was a good thing.
Yamada Machiichi was speechless for a moment, then asked, "Wang Xingkong, why are you waiting here to board the ship? Wouldn't it be better for you to go find Lin Yin and the others? You are very popular in the world game, and they will protect you."
Wang Xingkong's eyes dimmed a little: "Popularity...?"
Is he still... considered an NPC?
In fact, he knew that the real him had died a long time ago, and he was just a pirated version of Wang Xingkong in the Disciple game, who didn't even know what he was. What kept him going until now was that he wanted to go back to the World game and find his parents.
After he died suddenly from staying up late studying, his parents must have been very worried...
So what if it's fake? Doesn't that mean he's not called Wang Xingkong anymore?
"It doesn't matter where we wait." Wang Xingkong shrugged: "The reason I'm waiting here is because the owner of this shop looks a lot like an old lady I know... Well, I want to stay with her and try to protect her, at least this time."
“Hmm?” Yamada-cho was stunned: “Do you remember what happened before this big reset?”
The old lady Wang Xingkong is referring to should be Jia Xiqin, his teammate in the Disciple game before the last reset. The two of them supported each other through many levels, and in Wang Xingkong's impression, the grandmother is like his real relative.
"I remember. It should be because the end is near and light and darkness are merging into one. I remembered a lot of things from the past." Wang Xingkong sighed.
At this moment, Wang Xingkong's eyes suddenly turned terrified. Before Yamada Machi turned around, a cold voice came from behind, and a dagger was pressed against the back of Yamada Machi's neck:
"Yamada-kun, I didn't expect you to be hiding here."
The girl's voice was soft and dangerous.
Yamada Choichi felt so sad that he could not even cry. How come he was caught up?
"Kill me..." Yamada Machi sighed, and simply let Zhi Fei'er chop him a few times. Who told him to write a Japanese love light novel? This chase between the mechanical civilian male protagonist and the crystal noble lady seemed to have to come to an end.
The blade stopped.
Yamada Machi felt a chill on his back. He thought he had been chopped and was bleeding, but soon he realized that those were Zhi Feier's tears.
“Hey…” Why are you crying… Yamada Machiichi waved his hands, not understanding why she was crying, even though she had finally caught up with him and could avenge her mother’s death.
Wang Xingkong was watching from the side, dumbfounded, and took several steps back.
The girl with crystal hair was crying with red eyes:
"I... have been following your stories on the World Tree Forum."
“Ah…?” Yamada Machi suddenly felt as if he was naked. He was at a loss and his face was panic-stricken.
She, she has been following his story? So she has always known that she is his heroine?
"I've always known that you like yanderes." Zhi Fei'er raised her voice: "I also know that you killed my mother... What should I do? She did so many evil things and killed so many people, and you, you are the one who is saving the world. Where do you want me to stand!?"
Yamada-cho was stunned.
"When I first learned the truth, I was indeed extremely angry. I was so angry that I wanted to kill you, because you actually assassinated my mother while promising me to change the corrupt aristocracy." Zhi Feier stared at him with tears in her eyes: "But along the way, I saw you saving many people, I saw the civilians persecuted by my mother, I saw the miserable situation of the civilians of the mechanical race, and I saw that you were like their savior..."
"It turns out that my mother was wrong and you were right."
"I thought of my ideals - they were so poor and ridiculous. Growing up until today, every sip of milk I drank was mixed with the blood of exploited milkers. As the daughter of a sinner, my breath was earned by squeezing countless people, and I actually fantasized that all this could be changed as long as I was with you..."
"I've thought about it for a long time, and I think I should atone for my sins. But the only thing I can do for you is to let your story continue to be serialized, so that the World Tree can give you a higher score. It likes melodramatic plots, likes yandere chasing, likes the hero being chopped down, and I'm doing it to cooperate. I thought that as long as I catch up with you, I won't resist and be killed by you, which will give this story an ending and let me atone for my sins. But, but..."
