Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

In the deep, empty universe, there was a figure. He lay on his back in the void and slowly opened his eyes.

"I am..."

Fan Mu covered his head and felt a severe headache, as if he had been hit by an out-of-control truck, and his mind was full of confusion.

Looking around, confusion flashed across his eyes for a moment, but he soon understood.

"Am I back?"

He stretched out his hand and grasped the starry sky in front of him a few times. The feeling was no different from the simulation, and the same was true for the galaxy in front of him.

"It's over, it's over, our host is dead again!"

The shouting of the old man who was attending the funeral came to his mind. It was a deep and harsh sound, but it eased the pain in his head.

"Well, thanks, system, I just didn't expect that I wouldn't die from collapse in the end!"

I swallowed and a taste of rust filled my mouth.

Fan Mu reached out and pinched his body. It hurt a lot. It felt like his whole body was burned by fire, pricked by needles, and bitten by insects. Countless purple lines had spread all over his body.

This was the injury he suffered in his previous life.

This body has been completely corroded by the Honkai energy. Even if all the external injuries are healed, it will not live for more than a few years.

"Oh, we still have to rely on this system at critical moments."

"Yes, yes, yes." Fan Mu smiled weakly.

"System, will I die?"

He looked at the boundless starry sky, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask?" The system said with a hint of confusion, "I have checked the information. It won't be long before the Starry Sky Train passes by. You won't die!"

"Is that so!" There was a hint of emotion in Fan Mu's voice, confusion and a hint of indescribable emotion in his eyes.

"Xiao Ka, what were she and Xiao Xing doing at the last moment?" He suddenly changed the subject.

"Why are you asking this? It's all fake anyway." The system's speechless voice sounded, but it still checked for him.

While checking it, he said, "This mission is not completed again. I will ask the Lord God to see if I can give you another chance. After all, it is the grandfather of my second uncle's uncle's nephew's granddaughter-in-law's father. It will at least give me some face."

"Forget it, system, you still..."

After careful consideration, he was interrupted by the voice in his head before he could finish his words.

"Hey, that's not right, that's not right." The system said in a surprised voice, "Host, look, the mission is completed!"

"?"

Looking at the panel that popped up in front of me, it said:

[Congratulations on completing the novice mission. The Collapse System is now officially at your service.]

"Why?" Fan Mu asked.

He remembered that when he died, the mission progress was only about 50 to 60 percent. How come the mission progress jumped to full as soon as he died?

Did Sambo really get it right?

The mission can only be completed if he dies.

"Is there a bug?"

"No, there isn't." The system's voice was strange. "I just checked, it was Memory Fu Li who did it."

"After we left, He used His power to complete the simulation and left this for you."

"In this world, it seems to be called Light Cone: The Last Farewell."

After he finished speaking, a small rectangle that looked extremely gorgeous appeared before his eyes. It was printed with complicated patterns and was entirely blue and purple. It was the scene when he last boarded the train and Kafka saw him off.

"That's fine, that's fine, as long as the mission is completed." Fan Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and became more certain of the idea in his heart, and no longer hesitated.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that I would be able to complete the mission one day by following this rubbish host. I'll take advantage of this opportunity while I'm familiar with it. Once I load the module of this world, I'll continue!"

The system was rubbing its hands excitedly in its mind. It had never expected such a pleasant surprise.

Although it has let go of the fact that the host failed to complete the task, the feeling of completion is different after all, just like a father watching his eldest son finally succeed, with a look of relief on his face.

"System, I want to give up." Fan Mu's voice was so soft, so small that only he could hear it.

"what?"

Because he was too excited, the system didn't hear what he said at all.

"I said..." He took a deep breath, and the pain in his body eased a little, "I'm tired."

After saying this, it seemed as if all his strength was drained away. He was completely out of energy, like a dying old man.

"for..."

The system was confused by these sudden words, and the joy of completing the task was instantly gone. Just when it was about to question loudly, it suddenly realized why he said that.

He was indeed tired, and perhaps he should have died long ago, but I was the one who kept him alive.

After a long moment, it asked with a hint of confusion in its voice.

"You...you've decided?"

"Ah."

Fan Mu looked at the twinkling stars in front of him, "Originally, I still felt guilty for not completing the task, but now that the task is completed, the last worry is gone!"

Silence fell once again.

As if he felt that this was not a good idea, he suddenly chuckled and said, "Look at the bright side, you can find a better host in the future, at least no matter what, it won't be worse than me, right?"

When he said this, he originally wanted to ease the atmosphere, but somehow, he felt as if his whole body was colder, and the temperature seemed to have dropped by several degrees.

"Okay..." The system agreed verbally, without any fluctuation in its words, as if it had agreed to a trivial matter, but it was frantically flipping through the treaty in its mind, and finally found what it wanted.

"Okay... then..." Fan Mu said with relief, but was interrupted by the system speaking again.

"No, it doesn't seem to work."

A clause came into his mind.

Only after three or more missions have failed can the system be untied from the host.

The system's voice sounded in my mind, "Because this is another world, all your mission progress has been reset, which is equivalent to..."

It didn't say anything else, but Fan Mu understood.

"I see..." He grinned bitterly.

The terms were indeed placed before his eyes. It didn't matter whether the system was just making it up to fool him, because if he insisted on unbinding from the system, he would not be able to do so without the system's consent.

If the system violates the treaty and unbinds from him, it will face destruction, and he will not take the risk.

"Then... clear my memory!" He said, offering a compromise. "I'm really tired."

"It's decided. No regrets?" the system said in a buzzing voice.

"Well, I've made up my mind. I won't regret it."

"..."

"it is good."

The system did not reject it. Although it felt very uncomfortable and awkward, as long as the host was still him, everything else would be fine.

"Well...goodbye, system!"

Fan Mu smiled brightly.

"..."

"Goodbye."
