87 I will kill you
◎Even if I lose my life◎
Meng Yiyue looked a little hurt. "Yixin, are you questioning me?"
"Look at me carefully. I'm Meng Yiyue, your lover." She stepped forward fearlessly, until the muzzle of a gun was pressed against her body. "What's wrong with you? Yixin, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't call me Yi Xin!" Liu Ge shouted, the defensiveness in his eyes clearly visible, "You are not her at all!"
"Why kill everyone? There are so many ways to solve this, right?!" The scene of his companions' tragic deaths replayed before his eyes. Liu Ge was filled with grief and anger, and even his body began to tremble unconsciously. "Just like we worked together to change the previous outcome, as long as we find a way, everything can be done..."
"What happens next?" Meng Yiyue suddenly asked before she could finish her words.
Liu Ge was stunned: "What?"
"If we change the outcome this time, what should we do if other unknown changes occur later? By then, we will definitely be in a passive state," said Meng Yiyue.
"You saw a possible accident through the Mirror of the Future. To prevent it, we fought off the pirates and successfully reversed the future. But even so, disaster struck. No matter which choice we made, only two people survived."
"Even if we manage to break this situation this time, there's no guarantee there will be other outcomes. Rather than waiting to be manipulated by fate, it's better to take control of it."
"There's still one chance, right?" Liu Ge frowned, still holding the gun firmly against the man before him. "The Mirror of the Future allows the user to foresee the future three times. We're about to leave the dungeon. Even if there's a real possibility of something unexpected happening, we can just look in the mirror one more time..."
"There's no chance." Meng Yiyue shook her head.
Liu Ge's eyes widened: "What..."
"I used that mirror twice," Meng Yiyue said. "It can indeed foresee the future, but the images you see are uncontrollable. It could be ten minutes, one or two hours, or even a year, two years, or three years into the future."
"What I saw is something that will happen a long time from now." Meng Yiyue said softly, tears gradually filling up in her light-colored eyes, which silently fell under Liu Ge's gaze. "What choice do you want me to make? What can I do?"
"Just like you said, you don't want to lose me, you don't want to see me die. I'm the same way, Yixin. I'm also afraid of losing you. Even if you think I'm a bad person, I hope that at least in this copy, we can live together in peace."
"Instead of pinning our hopes on a vague future, it's better to choose the predetermined ending. They die, and we live. It's that simple. Those two pieces of driftwood will lead us to a happy ending. Neither you nor I will die in this instance."
"Isn't this good?" Meng Yiyue tearfully grasped Liu Ge's gun-holding hand and said with great emotion, "We're both alive. Isn't this the outcome you want most?"
The most desired result.
Liu Ge was silent. In the long silence, Meng Yiyue in front of her kept looking at her: "Yixin, do you want to hear the third picture I saw from the mirror of the future?"
"……you say."
"I saw what might happen in a certain instance later," Meng Yiyue said. "The one accompanying you then wasn't me, but two other people. You call them Axue and Aqing."
Hearing the familiar name, Liu Ge finally raised his eyes again: "What's next?"
Meng Yiyue: "You get along well with them, regard them as your best friends, and share life and death with them. But one day in the future, you will die for them."
"Yixin, I will never allow this to happen." Meng Yiyue shook her head and said in a deep voice, "So before that ending comes, kill them first."
"As long as you kill them, you won't die and you can be with me forever." Her voice gradually became tainted with a hint of bewitching and paranoia. As if brainwashing Liu Ge, she kept chattering, "Kill them, kill them..."
"Isn't this what you want most?"
It turns out that after going around in circles, the purpose is here.
Liu Ge took a deep breath, and his emotions finally calmed down: "In fact, you have never guessed what I want."
"Indeed, my greatest wish is that my lover can come back to life, never leave me, and stay by my side forever. But if this wish requires the lives and blood of so many people, I won't do it."
"I believe the real Ah Yue is the same. Even if you successfully disguise her appearance, you will never be able to replicate her thoughts and soul. She was someone who would sacrifice herself to save others in times of crisis, and she never changed her mind even in her final moments."
"What she wants is for the game to end so that everyone can live in peace and not arbitrarily deprive others of their right to survive for their own selfish interests." Perhaps tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, but Liu Ge did not wipe them away, letting them flow freely.
She simply gripped the gun tightly in her hand, facing the ocean breeze as she stared at the despicable imitator before her. "You're not even a hair of hers. Besides, do you think that just because you shot the others first, you can have the predetermined happy ending and live on?"
"No." She punched "Meng Yiyue" who was trying to escape, stepped on him and shot him mercilessly, "Because I will kill you."
"Go to hell." The bullet shot out from the muzzle at a rapid speed and hit "Meng Yiyue"'s head directly. Everything in front of her eyes collapsed instantly with her action, turning into pieces of irregular debris.
Liu Ge returned to the cold pool again. This time, she finally saw clearly what had been pulling her body. It was a monster with scarlet eyes that could bewitch people. Liu Ge stabbed the key in her hand into its eye socket and successfully broke free from the restraints amid the monster's screams.
"A Liu!" The fog on the water surface finally dissipated, and she saw several vague human figures. Qi Qiuxue and Li Yiqing pulled the chain with all their strength and pulled her back to the ground.
Liu Ge knelt on the ground and couldn't stop coughing. She choked on a lot of water, her nasal cavity felt sore, and she even had some tinnitus.
Qi Qiuxue squatted beside her, patted her back, and said, "Aqing."
"Yeah." Li Yiqing nodded and fired several arrows into the water. The originally turbulent water surface gradually calmed down with her actions, and layers of blood spread upward from the deep area.
"How are you?" Qi Qiuxue asked softly after Liu Ge calmed down. "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Liu Ge let out a long sigh and finally straightened up again.
She opened her palm under the gaze of Qi Qiuxue and Li Yiqing, showing them the key in her palm: "I got it."
"You're awesome." Li Yiqing praised without hesitation, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Why haven't you come up for so long?" she said with some fear. "We called out to you many times but there was no response. We were worried you might be in danger down there, so we quickly pulled the chain up, but you seemed to be in a very deep area, and the chain wouldn't stop pulling no matter how hard we tried."
"A lot of things happened down there." Liu Ge sighed and told the two of them everything that happened truthfully.
"Mirror of the Future?" Qi Qiuxue frowned after hearing this. "Is what the other party said true or false?"
"You must be deceiving me." Liu Ge shook his head. "It's just a trick to confuse me and make me kill you."
"Don't take it too seriously." She said this, stood up shakily, inserted the key in her hand into the keyhole, and the secret door in front of her finally opened successfully.
Li Yiqing, who was standing by, quickly followed and chattered beside Liu Ge, "If Ah Xue and I were ever in danger, would you, like you said, risk everything to save us?"
"If the other person is Ah Xue, then of course he will." Liu Ge nodded and said deliberately, "As for you, it depends on the situation."
"?" Li Yiqing suddenly turned into an angry pufferfish, "Why is this happening!"
"It was just a joke." Liu Ge smiled, his expression rarely serious. "Of course I will save him. We are friends after all."
She never wanted to see the scene happen again: "Even if it means losing her life."
