Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

Until the pupil of his squinted right eye gradually turned red...the place that was drenched by Cogito seemed to really make him see something different.

Bai Yu slowly stopped and looked at the endless vertical pupils around him in shock.

His gaze penetrated through these disguises, these emptiness.

He saw...those fragmented memories and their protagonists.

That was Sister Hong who hid in the trash can when she was a child, Sister Hong who had become the cleaner of Alley 23, Sister Hong when she met Carmen, and - Sister Hong now.

Just like a mural carved on the wall, what he saw was Sister Hong’s life up to that point.

Apart from....

“It’s been blacked out.”

Bai Yu looked at the dark space between the present and the past and whispered.

Yeah, everything about the institute was blacked out.

After meeting Carmen.

There is no more Kali, and no more Gebura....

"What nonsense."

Bai Yu dropped the paper he was cutting and used his only hand to try to wipe away the darkness in front of him.

But before his hand could touch the darkness in front of him.

In the darkness, the blood-red blade was soon against his neck.

"Stop."

A familiar and cold voice came right next to his ears.

"Is that what you really think deep down, Gebura?"

Bai Yu did not stop what he was doing. He knew that he could not see anything even if he turned his head.

Sister Hong is currently in a state of three overlapping states: core suppression, distortion, and abnormality resonance.

However, being able to find the distorted host in the vast space created by the distortion is half the success.

Bai Yu's hands moved faster.

And just as he wiped away this memory, the first knife mark appeared on his back.

But Bai Yu didn't care about these things, his hands just wiped faster and faster.

"Stop it!!"

More and more memories stained with scarlet were exposed.

Those were the days when she and everyone else were in the research institute, when everyone was fighting together for a beautiful ideal.

It looked very heartwarming, but the voice in his ears became more and more painful...

yes...

pain....

Tragedy is when beautiful things are destroyed in front of people.

The memory in front of me finally wiped away the scene where Carmen committed suicide in the bathtub...

"If any of us could have known her heart."

"Carmen would not have chosen suicide, but we all ignored this."

"We forced our desire to change the world onto her..."

Sister Hong's whispers became softer and softer.

At this point, how much memory can I still have of the past?

Ain took over Carmen's banner. They thought they could change the world, but in the end, they were the only ones who were changed.

Everyone was dead, and she was the only one who was struggling to hold on in front of the Tuner.

She wanted to save Ain and Benjamin, but who in this company was still alive?

She didn't protect anything.

I had promised Carmen that at the beginning...

"But that's not your fault," Bai Yu suddenly interrupted her wandering thoughts.

"You...you're just an outsider, how could you possibly know our pain?!"

The voice beside me was roaring.

"yes..."

Bai Yu did not deny it. He looked at the last memory scene in front of him in a daze.

He finally let go of his broken hand.

"You're right, I'm not Ain, and even X can only be considered half."

"But I know...I really know."

"Whether it's this endless cycle or this pain."

The blood that Bai Yu touched on his memory slowly flowed down, like water droplets on a photo.

And on this point, HOD and their coffee shop were not stained with blood.

This was perhaps one of the few times she remembered as Carly amidst this crimson.

"Why hurt them? Everyone just wants to survive and escape from this hell."

Bai Yu finally turned his head, and at this moment, he was finally able to see the mask in the darkness.

"Gebura, you just forgot. You forgot what you really wanted to protect."

"But you can start over... If waking up in the form of a box is your second life, then I hope this can be your third."

"There are still things that we are counting on you to protect."

Bai Yu spoke softly, but stretched out his hand towards the last stain in this distortion - the red mask.

His fingers clasped the object.

The little remaining strength was used on this.

And a second later, the mask was broken into pieces, revealing the pair of yellow-brown eyes.

"Has your sanity finally returned?"

Bai Yu looked at Gebura's countless mimic eyes that were slowly closing, and finally confirmed one thing.

"Bai Yu..."

Gebura released the bloody butcher knife in his hand, and with a clang.

The knife had already fallen to the ground, and she quickly caught it with her hands and eyes, and the hero who had pulled her out of the quagmire but suddenly collapsed at the last moment due to exhaustion.

“…”

Gebura held him up, but he could also feel his strength growing weaker and weaker.

He was really badly injured. Rather than collapsing suddenly, it would be more accurate to say that it was a miracle that he could hold on for so long with his severely injured body under the hands of a color-level finisher.

She supported Bai Yu and began to walk back in this collapsing world.

But it only took a few seconds.

In these last few seconds of solitude, Gebura asked the man next to him.

"Why do you have to do this?"

"Because I promised that child, I would free her and you from this endless cycle of reincarnation..."

Bai Yu's voice was still weak, but he really felt a little relieved.

Another core suppression has been solved, and that beautiful blue-haired little girl should be happier.

'what...'

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen her here for two years. Should I bring some gifts back to apologize?"

Bai Yu's consciousness gradually became blurred. Excessive blood loss made his head dizzy and heavy. He even forgot that the time of core suppression was different from that of the outside world.

He finally closed his eyes.

And outside of his consciousness.

The blood and illusion are receding together...

End of Volume Summary

scratching his head.

Ugh...

Here is the author.

This volume is extremely poorly written, and I know it very well.

I was also very dissatisfied with myself, so I kept denying myself in my head. I didn’t know how to write at all, and I didn’t even dare to start writing, so I updated very little every day.

After all, the first few chapters of the second volume exploded, and the End Bird written now is not good either.

Actually, I just want to write something different, write more fantasy bodies, and not follow the original game.

So I wanted to write from a dual perspective.

The Foundation fights the Doombird, and the protagonist takes care of Sister Hong's core suppression.

The timeline is advanced together.

-----------------

But I still can’t think before writing, and I’m taking too big a step.

I've been looking back at what I've written these past few days and realized that a lot of it was completely unnecessary.

Especially the daily life in chapters 230 to 240, the pace is too slow, and there is not even enough time to use the foreshadowing and subsequent emotional rendering.

As a reader who has no knowledge of Lobotomy Corporation, you may also be confused when reading this paragraph. In order to avoid the bloat when the HOD core is suppressed, I did not write about these original plots in detail in the book.

well....

Ultimately, the writing and scene transitions are just too poor, and the Foundation's perspective hasn't even shifted.

......

There are many other problems as well.

1. As for Terraria and its system, these have been written for dozens of chapters but have never been put online, and have never even been mentioned.

2. Some characters that were well-developed in the past (such as the younger characters in the first 20 chapters) have been offline for too long.

3. The story with Angela started around Chapter 220, but after the core suppression, there was no chance to shift the focus.

4. When writing about the protagonist’s death, I always like to try to write from other people’s perspectives.

This is actually quite stupid. You just don't have the skills, but you insist on taking on this job.

After all, looking back at the first 80 chapters, the perspective was basically fixed on Bai Yu, occasionally interspersed with the foundation and Angela. I feel that the rhythm and reputation of the book were the best at that time.

......

It's just... quite desperate.

After all, it is really painful for an author to know the problem but not know how to start changing it.

But only I can solve this kind of problem, so I can only sigh here and not say anything more.

The next third volume will still focus on the Foundation and Lobotomy Corporation, dealing with the Apocalypse Bird and subsequent events.

Later on, I'll go to the city to deal with the ever-expanding Corruption Land and the Meat Mountain, and some stories about Hai Si appearing in the U-Nest, the Foundation world, and the GOI that appeared in the city (if I can still write here)...

The perspective and focus will be more towards Bai Yu and the foundation.

Next.
