I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

"What else can I do? Wait for death." Yang Liu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke with a sneer.

"His internal organs have been invaded by your evil spirit, and he has no choice but to wait for death." She spoke the truth. The current situation was not something she could intervene in.

"How could this happen... No, how could he die so easily like this... No... No..." Wen Ya's eyes were dull as she muttered to herself.

"What about you? Why did you die so easily?" Yang Liu just looked at her and asked the original question.

"No... I just, I just want to get rid of this fake world... I don't want to die, I don't..." Wen Ya stroked Cheng Qi's face with her fingertips, her nostalgic look never leaving.

Yang Liu frowned. From the elegant tone, she knew it was not a lie. "False, when did you find out?"

Wen Ya hugged Cheng Qi, her face pressed against his head, rubbing against his head, her eyes full of confusion, and she seemed a little slow to respond to Yang Liu's question. She thought for a while before speaking with difficulty. "Five years old? Or seven years old? Or nine years old..."

Her tone was light and full of helpless cries, "Yang Liu, do you know that everyone will only respond to your feelings at certain times? It's like they are programmed, and only trigger words will make them react..." Wen Ya seemed to be lost in memories of the past, pouring out every word.

"Do you know that your parents who love you are actually like robots, giving you tasks in exchange for equivalent rewards?" Wen Ya's voice trembled and wavered a little when she mentioned her parents, but it was quickly covered up by her childhood memories.

"Do you know how lonely it is when you feel like there is no real living person in this world except you? No matter how you ask, they will just ignore you, as if you are a transparent person." Wen Ya said this, and she held Cheng Qi's hand tighter.

Yang Liu was silent, she didn't expect it to start like this. It was not difficult to analyze that Wen Ya had self-awareness too early, which led to the rapid development of this small world. But because of Wen Ya's premature awakening, this small world could not support her learning progress, which also led to Wen Ya's strong resistance to the world and dissociation after awakening.

As the name suggests, she couldn't fit in with this world, and even felt it was too fake at one point, leading to a mental breakdown.

"But actually, I still want to continue living. Do you know why?" When Yang Liu was thinking about how to comfort Wen Ya, Wen Ya spoke softly again.

"Because of Cheng Qi?" Yang Liu asked.

"Yes, he stands out so much among the 'audience'. He always responds to me and cares about my emotions..." Wen Ya always speaks softly and with a happy and sweet look when she talks about Cheng Qi.

Yang Liu was also confused after hearing this, "Then why did you..."

"But I'm afraid. I'm afraid that one day he will become like everyone else in this world, mechanical and numb, and my world will no longer be able to sense him. I'm really afraid, so, so..."

"That's why you choose to use death to escape, to escape this fantasy that you have already assumed has not happened yet." Yang Liu did not hesitate to expose her mind. Wen Ya trembled all over and looked at Yang Liu with a dull expression, as if she was in endless confusion. She moved her lips and was silent for a long time before she murmured. "But, if it happens, I can't imagine it, and I can't accept it. It's too scary."

"Xiao Ya..." Cheng Qi woke up at some point. His voice was heavy, as if something was blocking his throat and he couldn't breathe. He called out softly, attracting Wen Ya's attention. It is said that people will have a moment of revival when they are about to die. Cheng Qi blinked his gray eyes, raised his hand with great effort and gently touched Wen Ya's face, and said in a hollow voice. "I will always be with you. How can it not be real? I have followed you through reincarnation again and again. I want to save you, love you, and accompany you, but I have never heard your true thoughts. I am so sorry..."

Cheng Qi's voice almost disappeared at the end. The unpleasant breathy sound squeezed out of his throat and one could only make out the vague syllables by putting one's ear close to his. Wen Ya put her ear close to his and listened carefully. For a moment, the air around them seemed to stagnate and no one dared to speak. Wen Ya tightened her arms and held Cheng Qi tightly in her arms, gradually breaking down in tears. She didn't know what to say. It turned out that she was not the only one trying to live.

"sorry Sorry……"

Apologizing elegantly, Yang Liu sighed and squatted in front of the two of them. His face was grimacing with the pain in his chest. Yang Liu pressed his chest and took a breath of cold air. After a short breath, he stabilized himself and woke up the two people who were reluctant to part and expressing their true feelings to each other.

"You now have two choices. One, I'll let you reincarnate. Cheng Qi is going to die anyway, so you two can be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks and reunite in the underworld. Two, I'll give you a chance to start over. Go back to the past. This time, you will bring all your memories with you, and the world will become normal. They will no longer be the way you thought. You have to start from scratch."

Yang Liu stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of Wen Ya's eyes. Wen Ya raised her tearful face, her beautiful eyes full of confusion. She did not rush to make a choice, but asked, "Who are you..."

"Stop talking nonsense. Just know that I can help you. Now, make your choice."

Yang Liu didn't want to be exposed at the critical moment. She was in terrible pain all over her body. Her chest was twitching with waves of fishy smell coming up. She covered her mouth tightly and swallowed several times before she didn't vomit blood for the second time. She stared at Wen Ya, waiting for her to make a choice.

"I..." Wen Ya looked down at Cheng Qi. He could no longer hold on and fainted again. His breathing became weak and almost imperceptible. Wen Ya watched the yang energy in his body gradually dissipate. He gritted his teeth and his face was full of pain. Yang Liu was about to give up and lay down together waiting to die before she heard Wen Ya finally speak.

"Let's start over. I'll... believe it one last time. Everything will be fine, right, Yang Liu?"

As Wen Ya finished speaking and got his approval, Yang Liu directly communicated with the system and the will of heaven and reached an agreement.

It was only a moment before she opened her eyes again. "Hold my hand." Yang Liu held the unconscious Cheng Qi with one hand and handed the other to Wen Ya, waiting for her to make a decision.

Wen Ya looked at her, then looked at Cheng Qi in her arms, and chose to put her hand on Yang Liu's palm.

"You will be glad for your choice." Yang Liu smiled and held their hands tightly.

In a flash, the three of them stood in nothingness. Cheng Qi looked around and then at Wen Ya. Although he fainted, he truly heard and saw Wen Ya's choice.

"Where is this place?" Cheng Qi asked first.

"Well... a place for you to start over." Yang Liu didn't know how to explain, so she just said it casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, the space-time gate that was jointly opened by the system and the Heavenly Dao appeared, attracting the attention of the three people.
