Ending 2

"Li Jin?" Shen Tang looked at the empty and spacious place and called Li Jin's name several times, but no one answered.

It was not until the main system appeared in front of Shen Tang that a corridor-like passage appeared in front of Shen Tang.

"In this passage, you can see the memories of Li Jin accompanying you into different small worlds. But I guess what you want to know most is what kind of deal he made with us before you started working for our bureau?"

"All your doubts will be answered in it."

After the general system finished speaking, it gently pushed Shen Tang towards the passage and let her walk into the passage.

Shen Tang had never thought that such a long corridor was filled with Li Jin's memories, and these memories were like being put into a box, with each place marked with the time period in which the event occurred. She thought about it, and finally walked to the time point before she first entered the fast-travel game.

She reached out and touched the memory point.

A wave of unfamiliar memories instantly flooded into Shen Tang's mind and slowly played out in her brain.

When Shen Tang was still young, Li Jin's mechanical body was already an old model that had been eliminated in the interstellar space. Without a master to buy it, it had its own consciousness and picked up Shen Tang, who was once a homeless child, to raise. At that time, they had no home, and the only place to go was the old bridge tunnel. Li Jin would only mechanically call her name every day and mechanically say good morning and good night to her.

Although he was a robot, he did a lot for Shen Tang. When she was hungry, Li Jin would go to other people's homes to be a temporary household robot, and secretly use the money he earned to buy nutritional supplements as a surprise to Shen Tang, but when he handed it over, he was told coldly, "The food is for you."

Shen Tang was not used to this way of communication at first, but as time went by, she finally accepted Li Jin's way of getting along with him. She didn't know what kind of feelings she had for Li Jin, but she only knew that she couldn't lose him.

If she hadn't seen Li Jin's memory, Shen Tang wouldn't have known until now that the first dress Li Jin gave her and the expensive medical treatment when she was sick were all paid for by him with his own hard-earned money, not by any friends. Even in the scorching sun or heavy rain, he always lied to Shen Tang that he was working for a military officer and never complained to Shen Tang about his suffering.

No wonder, no wonder Li Jin's body circuits were damaged so quickly.

He obviously didn't have to do that.

Shen Tang, who had accepted some of the memories, stumbled and felt a dull pain in her chest. She quickly put her hand on the wall next to her and continued reading.

When Li Jin's mechanical body began to show damage, he carefully concealed it, fearing that Shen Tang would find out. This was also related to the way they got along. Li Jin never let Shen Tang see the mechanical circuits on his chest, saying that he would go for regular maintenance. It was not until Shen Tang heard from others that Li Jin's model was too old and had been eliminated, and there were few places that could repair his body, that Shen Tang discovered the damaged circuits on his body and learned that he would not live long.

So later she went to the Fast Travel Bureau and made a deal with the main system. The total amount of bonuses she earned from completing missions in the worlds she went to would be used to repair Li Jin's body. On the day she left, she saw with her own eyes the sleeping Li Jin being taken into the Fast Travel Bureau before she felt relieved to carry out the mission.

These tasks took a long time to carry out, so long that she was afraid that she would forget Li Jin's existence.

But Shen Tang didn't expect that Li Jin had actually remained awake the day she left. He clearly knew about Shen Tang's deal with the main system, and he clearly watched her leave for the small world.

This dull robot, who wanted to be nice to her even in his memory, fell off the rack that was carrying him just after she left the fast-forward game. Before the main system even noticed, he had already crawled in front of the main system, dragging his broken mechanical body.

Only then did Shen Tang understand what the deal between Li Jin and the general system was.

Li Jin wanted to become a real person to accompany her, so he accepted the conditions offered by the main system. When Shen Tang went to the small world, he could accompany her as a system, but he could not tell Shen Tang a word about the deal between him and the main system.

In addition, in order to maintain the stable operation of each small world, after Shen Tang enters the small world, Li Jin's memory will be cleared and placed in the character body in the small world to stabilize the energy in the small world. After the task is completed, Li Jin's soul will return to the fast-travel bureau.

And the person she went back to see during that vacation was indeed Li Jin. However, from this memory corridor, she could see that Li Jin's body in the interstellar world had not been fully formed at that time. In addition, due to the conditions of the overall system, even though she really missed him at that time, he never opened his mouth to acknowledge his identity when he saw her.

It turns out that in order to reshape into a human body, Li Jin has been staying by her side all this time, but he can't say these things out loud.

Tears rolled down Shen Tang's face unconsciously. Although his heart ached slightly, he could also feel a hint of joy.

It turns out that the person she likes also has feelings for her.

As Shen Tang learned everything she wanted to know, the memory channel gradually disappeared in front of her, allowing Shen Tang to see the person waiting there again. Li Jin stood in the house, his eyes full of tenderness under his slightly closed eyelashes. Whether in the past or now, he always liked to look at Shen Tang quietly, without saying anything.

She threw herself into the other's arms, tears streaming down her face.

"Really? You didn't say anything. I misunderstood you."

Seeing Shen Tang shedding tears, Li Jin panicked and gently wiped the tears from Shen Tang's face with his fingers.

"I was originally a robot without emotions, but every day I was with you, I felt a thrill in my chest that was made up entirely of wires." Li Jin carefully pressed Shen Tang's hand to his chest, his light blue eyes staring at her like he was looking at his rare treasure. "At that time, I asked the main system if there was something wrong with me and I would never see you again?"

"But later he told me that this feeling is love. This is the feeling that only real humans can have." Li Jin's slightly white eyebrows curved, and his face, which had lost its mechanical edges, looked particularly handsome and gentle. "So when you were running around for me, I also asked him. I wanted to become a real person, someone who could stay by your side and accompany you until old age. Fortunately, they gave me the opportunity. While I was accompanying you to the small world, I also learned what human emotions are like."

Shen Tang, whose eyes were red from crying, sniffed and then stretched out her hands to wrap around Li Jin's neck. "I don't care. I'm glad you're back."

The general system felt a little sad when he saw the two of them reunited. He was in a trance for a while and then murmured, "Now that this kid has a normal body, it's time for you to return to your world. However, you will no longer have the ability to open the time-travel channel. For this last transmission, I will help you open it. Of course, if you want to help with the fast-travel bureau in the future, I will fully welcome it."

After that, the main system used the system power to open a channel. This time, it was no longer the lucky bag incarnated by Li Jin that reminded her to start teleporting, but the system opened the channel for them to go home. A door slowly appeared in front of the two of them, and behind that door was the world they originally lived in.

"From the beginning to the end, my feelings have never changed." Li Jin let go of the girl in his arms, gently raised his hand in front of Shen Tang, and looked at her intently.

"Are you still willing to live with me as a normal person?"

Although Shen Tang did not speak in reply, he had already placed his hand in Li Jin's. The two held hands tightly, smiled at each other, and walked towards the door together.

They have transcended the past and are now heading towards the future.
