No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

Wang Rui, who had taken the antidote, woke up early in the morning.

At this time, Yuwen Boyuan was severely sleep deprived and was still sleeping soundly.

He tiptoed off the bed and found the place where his intelligent brain and ghost token were kept.

I took the token back, put it on my waist, and went back to pretending to sleep. (I didn't take the smart computer, because wearing it on my wrist would give me away.)

Around noon, Yuwen Boyuan was awakened by the news from his intelligent computer.

I sat up sleepily and checked the messages.

Maria's system alerted her: "You have obtained access to the Skylab. Use it once."

"Great, Ari is saved!"

As he was secretly delighted, he felt a pain in his neck and fainted instantly.

Jack took off the intelligent computer from Yuwen Boyuan's wrist and handed it to Wang Rui.

"Good job, doctor." (Why did he keep calling Jack "doctor"? He was used to it.)

I put on the smart brain to change clothes, sunglasses, mask, hat... I wrapped myself up tightly and returned to the room where the walls were full of my photos.

Jack handed him a lighter.

Wang Rui opened and closed the lighter, opened and closed it again, repeating this action over and over again.

With just one fire, this shameful room and the person who humiliated him will disappear from this world.

But he hesitated.

Yuwen Boyuan's actions were indeed wrong, but his love was also real.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha!" Wang Rui covered his face and laughed wildly twice.

With a "click", he closed the lighter, put it in his pocket, and turned to leave.

"Live well! You won't bother me after I die."

Holding a bouquet of white carnations, Wang Rui used Yuwen Boyuan's identity credentials to successfully board the elevator to the aerial laboratory.

As soon as he entered the laboratory, a nauseating smell hit his nose.

Disgusting! It's the same smell I used to smell as a kid. Isn't that the smell of disinfectant?

Wang Rui's hands, which were covering his mouth and nose, trembled slightly.

Because he knew that he seemed to be getting closer and closer to a certain truth.

I was looking around here aimlessly, and through a transparent glass window, I saw the operating table and the person in the white coat inside.

Childhood memories flooded into my mind. I covered my mouth and ran into the bathroom, holding the toilet and vomiting violently.

The place you went to as a child wasn't a hospital? It was a laboratory?

My body has been modified? Am I a human or a monster?

He knelt on the ground and cried silently. What was he crying for? Even he didn't know.

Alice came out of the keepsake without permission and hugged him to comfort him.

"Alice? Why did you come out?"

Alice couldn't speak and could only wipe away his tears silently.

"Has your sanity reached this level? Will you be able to speak once you reach the Destruction level? You're only one step away, but unfortunately..."

Wang Rui smiled at her somewhat ashamedly.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to take you with me to death. Will you blame me?"

Alice shook her head, unfolded Wang Rui's hand, and wrote on it.

"Alice likes Wang Rui." (I won't translate it back and forth from the English text.)

Wang Rui was touched and amused, and asked her, "What about your husband Jack?"

"Who is that? My husband is Wang Rui."

Wang Rui understood instantly.

Alice's memory is confused and she mistakes Wang Rui for her navy husband.

"Silly Alice! This is a huge misunderstanding. Come back first!"

Alice nodded and returned to the keepsake.

Wang Rui came out of the toilet cubicle and looked at himself in the mirror. He was extremely weak but still holding on. He took out the prepared medicine, inserted it into his neck, and started injecting it.

"My life has entered the countdown."

Wang Rui came out of the bathroom and started looking for prey.

I saw a familiar face on the road. Although I wasn't sure, I vaguely felt that I had seen her before.

He bumped into her intentionally, causing the white carnation in his arms to fall.

"Oh! Sorry." The man said as he bent down to pick up the flowers.

Wang Rui looked at the work ID on her chest, which read: Bai Wen.

She is Xia Jin's laboratory assistant.

Haha, found it.

Wang Rui took the flowers she handed over and said politely, "Thank you. As an apology, let me give you a gift!"

"Gift?"

While the person was puzzled, Wang Rui placed his hand with the white morpho butterfly on her neck and whispered, "Consciousness Control."

"Consumes 4750 soul points to control the mind of a designated character for 50 minutes, preventing them from breaking free. Only one character can be controlled at a time, and the target cannot be changed during control. Cooldown time is minutes." (Feng Jiang from the First Hospital died from this skill.)

"Take me to find Xia Jin, quickly."

Bai Wen's eyes were a little empty, and she replied, "Yes!"

Walking in front to lead the way for Wang Rui, the closer they got, the clearer their memories became.

Wang Rui was convinced.

I've been here, more than once.

After arriving at the destination, Wang Rui asked Bai Wen to wait outside, and he let out a long sigh and pushed open the door.

Xia Jin was busy mixing the medicine in her hand and didn't look up. She said, "Have you got the information I asked for?"

"Mother, it's me."

Hearing Wang Rui's voice, Xia Jin paused and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I haven't seen you for five years. I miss you." Wang Rui smiled and showed Xia Jin the white carnations in his arms. He continued, "I brought your favorite flowers. Remember how you always threw away the flowers I gave you on your mother's birthday? Why? Do you think I'm wasting my time on meaningless things?"

"If you have that time, you might as well use it to study, like you are doing now. If you have time to come visit me, you might as well think about how to advance your rank."

"Mom is still so strict!"

Wang Rui slowly walked over, gently placed the flower on the table, and asked, "Are you going to throw it away this time too? Throw away your flower (child)."

As expected, Xia Jin threw the flower at Wang Rui. The petals hit his face, which made him sober up a lot.

Wang Rui sneered, his eyes filled with disappointment towards his biological mother.

"Mother! That's why I hate you!"

Xia Jin sensed danger and wanted to press the alarm, but Jack held her down and she lay on the ground, unable to move.

Wang Rui bent down and picked up a relatively intact carnation, put it to his lips and smelled it.

"The flower language of white carnations represents pure and flawless maternal love. Do you deserve it?"

Xia Jin laughed wildly a few times, as if she had heard a joke.

"Am I worthy? I raised you, gave you the best education, and the life you have now is all given by me! You actually ask me if I'm worthy? Without me, who are you? Who would know you? Wang Rui!"

"What am I? I want to ask that question, too." Wang Rui walked over to Xia Jin, squatted down, and continued, "Am I a human, or a monster transformed by you?"

"Hahaha! What do you think?"

Wang Rui lifted Xia Jin's bangs that were covering her face.

"How ugly! How did you get yourself into this state? How pathetic. That's all. I'm tired too."

Wang Rui stood up and opened the cabinet where Xia Jin kept the medicine.

"Where is the antidote that can eliminate the monster in Xiaobao's body?"

"Are you still thinking about that little mute? I taught you that he's just a useless piece of shit!"

Wang Rui glanced at Xia Jin and said, "Mother, I really don't want to listen to you right now."

He ordered Jack, "Doctor, destroy her. Cut her vocal cords, rip out the tendons in her hands and feet, and sever her lumbar spine. I want her to watch as the monster she created with her own hands destroys everything she has."

"You..." Before he could utter the word "dare", his vocal cords were cut by Jack.

Then comes the torture of despair and inability to resist.

Wang Rui didn't want to look at her, so he told Bai Wen to come in and help him find some medicine.

Wang Rui wrote a handwritten letter (he didn't have his intelligent brain, so he could only write the letter). After finishing it, he gave the medicine, instructions for use, the handwritten letter and Luo Shiyu's address to Bai Wen.

"Please help me send these things to Xiaobao, and then evacuate everyone to the emergency exit."

Wang Rui covered his mouth and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, then continued, "Please."

Wang Rui felt relieved only after seeing Bai Wen leave with the things he gave her.

"Doctor, destroy this place!"

Jack laughed maniacally, and the scalpel he threw ricocheted into the potion.

Various unknown experimental gases leaked.

Wang Rui took out the lighter from his pocket, threw it towards the medicine cabinet, and finally added more fire.

The laboratory began to explode massively.

Wang Rui opened his arms, his face full of enjoyment, with no intention of escaping at all.

Looking at Xia Jin who was staring at him, he asked jokingly, "Mother, this is a gift from me to you. Do you like it?"

Got no response.

"Hmm? Why aren't you talking? Don't you like it? That's right, you've never liked any of the gifts I've given you since you were little."

"It's okay, it's okay... This is the last gift anyway."

Wang Rui spat out another mouthful of blood. Looking at the blood on the ground, there was no fear in his eyes but relief.

She summoned Alice to spin and dance with her, humming a tune.

Where I told you to run (Where I told you to run)

So we'd both be free (So we'd both be free)

Strange things did happen here (Strange things did happen here)

No stranger would it be… (But what is even stranger is…)

"Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Wang Rui leaned on Alice and slowly fell down...

"I will be free..."

It’s finally over…my stage.
