My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"My heart aches so much! What exactly is this pain?!" After witnessing all this, Li Kai clutched his chest in distress, a familiar feeling returning.

Some things we only learn to cherish after we lose them; some things, once lost, can never be found again.

"Huff, huff, maybe I understand a little." Panting heavily, Li Kai looked with difficulty at the girl curled up in front of him.

Although I have forgotten who I am now, I know that I have only one purpose in coming here, and that is to awaken you, to awaken this poor you.

It would be too lonely and too painful for one person to bear this sorrow alone. So let me accompany you to bear it. Although it is painful, at least you will have someone to accompany you.

"Come on, all of you!" As Li Kai murmured, as if drawn by something, countless fragments of memory surged toward his soul, which was about to become transparent, but was now incredibly solid.

"Ahhh!!" Having been intertwined with the experiences of someone else's entire life, Li Kai's soul is engaged in a fierce struggle, with incompatible memories repelling each other.

The memories of the outsiders kept trying to assimilate the memories in front of them, while the memories of the natives actively resisted. At this moment, Li Kai's mind had become a battlefield, a fiercely contested battlefield.

"Damn it, if this drags on, I'm really going to turn into an idiot!"

"No matter who you are, I am the one in charge, so you all better stay put!!"

"Boom!" With the strong will of the main body, even if the memories were unwilling, they had no choice but to obediently merge together.

As countless fragments merge, the originally chaotic memories are now being reorganized. Everything seems like a dream, yet it is all happening in reality.

"Huhu finally remembered everything, both mine and hers."

"My name is Li Kai! I'm here to save you!" A startling light suddenly flashed in Li Kai's eyes, a look of determination that showed he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

"Wait for me, I'll pull you out right now!" Looking at the last obstacle blocking his way, Li Kai resolutely took his first step.

I always thought I was in a lot of pain, but what is this pain compared to what you are going through now? It's nothing! Li Kai clenched his hands tightly on the barrier, as if he was threatened. Suddenly, sharp thorns spread out from inside the barrier, and large thorns instantly tore through his arms.

"Ahhh!!" The pain from the depths of his soul constantly assaulted Li Kai, yet even so, his hands remained firmly planted.

My only friend destroyed everything I had; the person I once admired most ruthlessly destroyed everything I cherished. I didn't understand that feeling before, but now I do.

There is no pain more intense than helplessly watching your family die because of you, and no regret more painful than the resentment of your own rebellious actions.

Li Kai's hands were deeply embedded in the barrier, and cracks slowly spread across them.

But what's the point of running away like this?! Li Kai's heart was screaming wildly.

You might escape for a while, but can you escape forever?! Even if you can escape, you'll live in regret.

What's the point of such a life? I want to see that innocent and naive girl, not you bound by sorrow and regret!

"Get out of there right now, or I'll drag you out myself!!" Li Kai exerted force with both hands, and the powerless thorns snapped in response, along with the shattering of the barrier.

When the barrier shattered, the girl hiding inside was finally exposed to Li Kai.

"Waaah, it's all my fault," Yu Ruoxue sobbed softly, her head buried in her knees as she wrapped her arms around them.

"You idiot, you're still blaming yourself now, just how stupid are you!" Li Kai mocked disdainfully.

"Hmm?" Yu Ruoxue raised her head, looking at the figure in front of her with a puzzled expression.

Li Kai, whose body was covered in blood, could only be described as miserable, with his hands covered in fine wounds.

"Why did you come here?" Yu Ruoxue asked in surprise.

"Of course I'm worried that some idiot won't be able to get out!" Li Kaiqiang said with a forced smile, speaking in a carefree manner.

"Why did you have to go this far? It's not that bad, you were clearly—" Yu Ruoxue looked at the battered and bruised Li Kai with heartache. Before she could finish speaking, she was enveloped in a warm embrace.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm worried about this idiot!" Li Kai hugged the girl tightly around the waist and took a deep breath of her fragrance.

"Idiot, idiot, you're the real idiot!" Yu Ruoxue shouted angrily, tears already streaming down her face, her heart aching so much!

"That's still better than some guy who only knows how to run away."

Yu Ruoxue, speechless after being refuted with "I...I only...", could only stammer.

"Can you leave with me now?" Li Kai gently stroked the girl's soft hair and asked softly.

"I can't!" Yu Ruoxue hesitated for a moment before refusing.

"Sigh, it's still the same as always." Seeing the girl's sad face, Li Kai couldn't help but sigh.

"I told you before, you can tell me what's bothering you, but why have you been hiding such painful things until now?"

“I’ve experienced all of your memories. It’s not your fault. The root of the problem doesn’t lie with you. You’re just an innocent victim.”

"I won't listen, I won't listen! If it weren't for the decision I made back then, they wouldn't have died because of me. If I hadn't been so rebellious, the tragedy wouldn't have happened!" Yu Ruoxue shook her head in anguish.

"Wake up!!" Li Kai shouted angrily, his face full of rage.

"Look at you now, do you think they're really happy? Saving you is their greatest happiness; even if they die, they can die with a smile. But what are you now? Constantly enveloped in regret, if you're in so much pain, why don't you just die?!"

"If you want to die now, I won't stop you!" Li Kai said coldly as he threw the dagger to the ground.

"I," Yu Ruoxue stared blankly at the dagger on the ground, her hand unconsciously gripping it.

"Make your move! Now is the best opportunity!"

"I," Yu Ruoxue trembled as she clutched the hilt of the knife, then pointed the tip at her chest. Once she plunged it in, she could stop thinking about anything and never have to suffer again.

Is this really okay?

"I miss you, Mom and Dad so much." With her eyes closed, Yu Ruoxue suddenly saw their loving smiles in her mind. Now she could go see them.

"Clang!" Just as the blade was about to pierce through, it was abruptly released and fell to the ground.

"I'm not reconciled, I don't want to die like this!" The girl opened her eyes; her parents wouldn't want her to see them like this.

Knowing full well it wasn't their fault, they'd rather live with guilt and regret for the rest of their lives, simply because they were too weak to fight back. How ridiculous! How incredibly foolish they were!

Things are different now. Yes, you're here with me now. If you're by my side, then everything will be alright.

"Have you thought it through?" Li Kai looked coldly at the girl, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

"I want revenge for my parents! I want him to pay for everything he's done!" Yu Ruoxue fixed her gaze on Li Kai, her red lips slightly parted. "Help me!"

Li Kai suddenly smiled and gently took the girl's soft hand in his. "Then let's do it!"

Now that you've made up your mind, go for it! No matter what dangers lie ahead, I will walk with you.

Even if it's the deepest abyss of despair, I will stay by your side!

Although I don't know what the so-called root of evil is, I only know one thing: you are you, and for you, I am willing to be an enemy of the world; for you, I am willing to bear the sins of a lifetime.

I made a promise for a lifetime, in exchange for a life without regrets!
