My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"Where am I?" The girl stared blankly at the white surroundings, as if a thick fog had blocked all her vision.

"Where do you wish this to be? Rivers, mountains, and sky?" A clear, cold voice suddenly echoed in her ears. At the same time, a rushing river, undulating mountains, and a clear blue sky, along with countless magnificent landscapes, appeared at her feet.

"Wow! It's actually changing!" the girl exclaimed, seemingly quite surprised by what she was seeing.

"Do you know what you most want to see?" the voice continued.

The girl was taken aback for a moment, then tentatively stretched out her fair hand. The wooden door was suddenly pushed open by her, and the surrounding mist slowly dissipated. Pale pink walls, exquisite crystal lamp, soft bed, and various cute plush toys—this was clearly her room!

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, are you inside?" A desperate and heartbroken cry drifted into the girl's ears; the voice was clearly...

"No! Enough!! This is all fake, all fake!!" The girl, suddenly awakened, roared angrily. Her once beautiful and flawless face now held a hint of ferocity. She never wanted to experience that despair again!

"You still can't let go, huh? Even after breaking the first seal, the shackles in your heart still bind you." The voice sighed softly, and the mist reappeared, the dark shackles faintly visible there.

"Why did you make me come back here?!" The girl, now calm, asked coldly, as memories of that painful past involuntarily surged into her mind.

"Because I don't want you to suffer. If you continue to run away like this, you will be bound by your own heart and eventually be replaced by me! Even though I was born from you."

"Replace? Actually, that's not bad. People like me should just disappear anyway, since no one will remember me!" The girl laughed self-deprecatingly, her face filled with indescribable desolation and sorrow.

"Is that really what you think? Are you sure no one will remember you?"

Just as the girl was about to speak, a silly smile of a boy suddenly appeared in her mind's eye. He had risked his life for her and was constantly mocking her. Would he remember her?

"Aren't you going to answer? Or are you afraid to answer?"

"Enough! Is this all the time you've spent?!"

"Of course not. I'm here to tell you that he has already gained my approval—the vessel part—and become a suitable candidate. As for the other half, the human part, that depends on you. Only in this way can he be complete!"

“Approval? I don’t understand!” The girl shook her head, indicating that she didn’t understand at all.

"You'll understand, and you'll know what I mean. We're special. The choice is yours, and even rejection is your choice!"

"Why are you telling me all this? You could do it yourself."

"To replace you? No, he wouldn't like it if he knew, for giving emotions to someone who originally only knew how to kill."

Is he really that important to you?

"It was completely quiet; there was nothing there except for the girl."

"What should I choose?" Yu Ruoxue, who had just woken up, turned her gaze to Li Kai, who was turning over not far away. She couldn't explain it, and she didn't want to think about it or dare to think about it.

"Come on, Little White, open your mouth~~" Yu Ruoxue gently picked up a piece of meat for Little White in her arms.

"Woof!" The little white dog, who never refused anything, swallowed it whole. The taste was just so-so!

"Dead dog" Li Kai stared intently at the spot in front of him, muttering to himself, "How dare they eat my food with such an attitude! How despicable!"

"Huh? What are you looking at?" Yu Ruoxue asked in confusion, but a hint of a smile and mischievous intent was hidden in her blinking eyes.

"Huh? Let me take a look around. The weather is really nice today!" Li Kai said with a smile, looking up at the sky.

“But it seems to be a cloudy day!” Yu Ruoxue ruthlessly exposed Li Kai’s lie. The sky was gloomy and there was really nothing beautiful to be found!

"Woof woof! (This method is so fake!)" Xiaobai also looked at Li Kai with disdain.

"Ugh, my chest hurts so much!" Li Kai clutched his heart, which felt like it had been pierced, and squatted in the corner, his black and white figure standing out starkly against the colorful environment.

"Hey, which way do we go from here?" After finishing her meal, Yu Ruoxue looked around blankly and asked casually.

"Hey, hey, when you ask someone a question, at least look at me first! Isn't that incredibly rude of you?" Li Kai grumbled, his teeth grinding together. Ever since he was held in his arms, this damn dog hadn't changed positions at all—it was truly infuriating!

"Really? I've never heard of such a principle before!" Yu Ruoxue maintained her previous attitude, cold and extremely nasty!

"Uh, okay, you win!" Faced with the stubborn girl, Li Kai said dejectedly, muttering to himself, "But something's not right, why is there such a big difference before and after? Did she change completely after the seal was broken?"

"Huh? What did you say?" Yu Ruoxue raised an eyebrow and asked coldly, her attitude completely different from how she treated Xiaobai.

"Oh, it's nothing! I was just thinking about my plans for the future," Li Kai quickly waved his hand, wondering why he was afraid of her. There was clearly nothing wrong.

"I don't think so at all," Yu Ruoxue stared intently at him, her eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.

"No, no, this is my plan!" Li Kai, who was deep in thought, hurriedly shouted, completely unaware of the look in the girl's eyes.

"The first thing to confirm is that you don't need to bring anything, right?"

"Hmm, it doesn't seem so!" Yu Ruoxue said uncertainly after thinking for a while, resting her chin on her hand.

"Okay, even if you don't have it!" Li Kai took it as a lie, given how unreliable the answer was.

"In that case, I plan to throw this car away. There's nothing worth taking from it anyway, and with Xiaobai waking up, there won't be enough gasoline to drive it for much longer," Li Kai said slowly, revealing his plan.

"After that, we need to go through the passage ahead and find a new car?" Yu Ruoxue continued, picking up where he left off.

“That’s right! That’s roughly it!” Li Kai nodded, indicating that it was completely correct.

"But—I don't want to! It'll be so tiring!" Yu Ruoxue cried out reluctantly, her eyes brimming with tears, a truly pitiful sight.

"Uh, stop pretending here. There's no other way to go." Li Kai ignored the girl who was acting coquettishly, because his heart would soften if he looked at her.

"Ugh~~ Li Kai is so annoying! Can't he be a little more understanding?" Yu Ruoxue huffed angrily.

"Alright, alright, even if it's my fault, there's nothing you can do about it anyway. Now come with me." Li Kai reached out and grabbed the girl's soft hand, then walked forward on his own.

"Hey, you pervert! Don't touch girls' hands like that!" Yu Ruoxue shouted, her face flushed, but her hand remained firmly in her grasp, for reasons she herself didn't understand.

"What terrible thing have I done again?!" Li Kai was completely bewildered. His actions just now were incredibly bold! Why did he do something so frivolous?

He couldn't figure it out. It must be something he did himself again. Yes! That's right! Li Kai found another plausible explanation for himself.

What an idiot!
