Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

On that day, after Tufang left Jiujo Daoqing's tomb and expressed that he wanted to go for a walk in the deep woods alone, what happened is of course not so simple and can be explained.

Back to the wooden house where the two lived in seclusion, and even in the mood to prepare dinner and put it on the stove to keep warm, Liu Quan stepped out of the house when night fell.

After unlocking the [Attitude Package] system bacteria, with a slightly sarcastic attitude, he reminded Liu Quan who was running wildly on the mountain road at night with all his strength in [Advanced Lightness Kung Fu]:

[System Reminder: Players please note that you only have 21 hours left to stay in this world.Because the time is too short, no matter what method is used, it is impossible to get from Hakodate to Aizu or Doonan in time. 】

Liu Quan, who was on his way with his head sullen, didn't bother to pay attention to it.

[I didn't intend to go to Aizu or Dounan to find Yikun to say goodbye in person, because I also knew that was impossible. ] She responded lightly.

The system bacteria snorted, and seemed to disagree with her statement.

[Then now, players who still have to use the remaining 21 hours to hurry on their way, where exactly do they want to go.In this world, is there anything you can't let go of? 】

Liu Quan smiled.

[Well... not at all.It’s just that I think it’s the kind of “must-visit N major tourist attraction in my life”, so take the last time to go around, find a place to engrave a visit here, and say “I’ve been here, I saw it, I conquer"? ]

System bacteria: […]

It's so rare, after such a long time, it finally had a moment when she successfully choked it speechless.

I don't know if there will be extra reward points or other valuable items for completing this hidden achievement?

Liu Quan raised the corners of his lips, and his smile finally became a little more real.

[It is this series of missions you assigned that finally taught players the truth that "brazenness is king"?Have to thank you for that? ]

The system bacteria cleared his throat.Judging from Liu Quan's experience with it for so many years, it must be about to become angry when its voice becomes like this.

【You are welcome.You will continue to complete every task assigned to you in the future, even if it is to repay me! 】

Liu Quan didn't respond, just smiled and continued running on the dark mountain road.

...If I finally made your liver hurt just now, that would be great! !Let you order labor and management to have to fill up such a scumbag plot every time! !

After running wildly all night, she didn't feel too tired.

Probably it is a little bit of power exerted by my current Rakshasa body that has not been shaken off.

When the system bacteria started counting down [three hours left], [two hours left], and finally [one hour left] in her mind, Liu Quan finally rushed up——

At that time, in the last battle in Hakodate, she was shot in the middle, so she didn't really reach Bentendaiba in the end.

System Bacteria didn't seem to understand her choice to leave after exhausting all the remaining time and energy and rushing here overnight to visit.

[Is this... something ceremonial?I still don't quite understand your human thoughts.It seems that it is necessary to build a larger information database and increase the amount of analysis—] it resentfully commented.

Liu Quan walked to the side of Bentendaiba near the sea, and stood near the edge of the high platform.

[Well... that's right. ]

She was going to say something, but she shook her head as if giving up when the words came to her lips, and explained concisely:

[Since you are leaving this world permanently, you have to act like you are leaving forever.The deputy chief... is not someone who gives up so easily. ]

System bacteria: […]

At that moment, Liu Quan felt that the system bacteria seemed to want to say something, but in the end it remained silent.

This is also very good.Since everyone has something difficult to say, then no one needs to say it again.

Standing on the high Bentendaiba, Liu Quan was able to look at the sunset of Hakodate Bay alone for the first time after the war.

The light before sunset fell on the sparkling water, and there seemed to be countless beating golden lights dotted among the waves; at the junction of the sea and the sky, there were white seagulls flying and singing crisply.

In short, there is no sense of desolation before the darkness is approaching.This kind of scenery is more appropriate to say that it is vast and magnificent.Maybe it's because it's a sunny day. There are almost no transitional colors in the scenery in front of me. No matter what color it is, it looks bright and beautiful, like an oil painting painted by a famous artist.

Liu Quan took a deep breath.The slightly salty air was sucked into the lungs from the nasal cavity, and seemed to hover there for a while.

Liu Quan gave a low laugh.

"Next time, please don't let me do such a scumbag."

She spoke suddenly.

As if she wanted to turn the silent words that had been circling in her mind for a long time into substance, she faced the sea before dusk and said clearly.

"Catch up and then ruthlessly throw it away like this... Really, this is not something I would do?! Even if it is for a righteous cause like saving the world, playing with other people's feelings is not a right and pleasant thing things..."

"...Compared to being a Mary Sue or a cannon fodder female supporting role, I am more unwilling to be a bad guy."

Probably because she was impatient with the player's complaints, the system bacteria suddenly spoke in her mind and interrupted her.

【...Then, don't you do all this to be able to go home? 】

Liu Quan:? !

As if deliberately wanting to ask more confusing and destabilizing questions to the players, the system bacteria continued coldly.

[In order to save the world, there is nothing that cannot be done.This is what Reji Munakata chose to do.For the benefit of the vast majority of people, there is no black and white standard for you to define what is right and wrong. 】

【You must have been influenced by that earthwork. ……how?Thinking of the life he will face next, he suddenly felt a burst of compassion or sympathy, couldn't he bear it? 】

[However, don't say nice things.In order not to let you "play with other people's feelings" and be an upright and good person, so I just let you stay here and spend your whole life with this person, and never have a chance to go home. Are you satisfied with this?Think you can live up to your conscience? 】

Liu Quan:! ! !

She was so surprised that she couldn't help uttering a few meaningless syllables.

"what……?"

System bacteria sneered.

[Are you speechless? ...It turns out that your conscience is only here. 】

[For the well-being of the vast majority of people, there must be a trade-off.Or to put it another way—for one's own well-being, one must also make a trade-off.It is impossible to have the best of both worlds, wake up players. 】

[I can't see how many subtle and absurd thoughts and incomprehensible pains there are in your world. 】

【The only thing I care about is maintaining these crumbling worlds, because even though they may seem absurd, every life in these worlds is valuable. 】

[There are all, even if it must make you cry, doubt your life, and hate yourself, you must do your best to maintain the value. 】

[In order to achieve this goal, necessary sacrifices and persistence must be accepted. 】

[It's not just to save a few people you know and love, but the whole world.No matter how powerful or small the other party is, whether they are good or evil, those you love or those you hate...the lives of all people are in your hands, and a single thought of yours may be able to unintentionally decide the lives and deaths of many people—]

[This is the true meaning of the existence of the so-called "girl who saves the world". 】

[Do you understand, player? ! 】

Liu Quan was silent for a long time after such a long speech on systemic bacteria was finished.

She likes to complain about it in her heart, or sing against it in a small way, and she doesn't question or refute everything it said.

Finally, she said softly: "...I see."

"You are willing to talk so much, maybe it is to lay the groundwork for me to play the real villain in advance." Her voice trembled slightly, but she used a tone that was almost half-joking Said.

The system bacteria snorted.

"...However, no matter what kind of setting it is, I can accept it." She continued.

"It's important to go home, and I don't want to give up..."

"But you're quite right, too."

"If being a scumbag can save the whole world, then so be it."

"I think... the price of this exchange is still worth it?"

The system bacteria paused, then laughed.

【very good. 】

[If you have this kind of awareness, you don't need to talk nonsense with you anymore. 】

Liu Quan: "..."

Before she had time to skillfully complain about its words, a strange song suddenly sounded in her mind.

【If the dream of this world

Gone like the wind

And this longing

Immortal——]

Liu Quan:? !

"This is--?!"

The system bacteria suddenly made a sound.

[The latest head-to-head song specially released.how? 】

Liu Quan: "..."

After a moment of silence, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"Sure enough...it's a more suitable song."

"I'm impressed with your musical taste," she said half-jokingly.

The system bacteria snorted.

【Enjoy your last moment in this world, player. 】

It seemed finally satisfied with her awareness, and dived temporarily.And Liu Quan continued to stand on a high place, facing the hunting sea breeze, looking at the sea at sunset.

In the place under her feet, many comrades had fought, shed blood, and even died.Is the flag of sincerity, which is to be defended at the risk of one's life, still flying in everyone's hearts?

[Countless sadness is deposited here

Here lies the irreplaceable

The white clouds that witnessed the war

Send these Heroic Spirits to the sky filled with light】

In an instant, the faces of Shannan, Hirasuke, Kondo, Gensan...the comrades who had left before the battle gradually emerged in her mind.

They are all irreplaceable, the best, the most reliable, and the most trustworthy companions.

Liu Quanman looked at the sea surface like a shimmering satin, and said softly: "It's a pity that you didn't see such a beautiful sunset today... If there is a way to convey it to you, it would be great."

"...Because, it seems that faith is burning fiercely."

[The journey that should be embarked on

There is no other way but to move forward

The future waiting not far away

even unknown

also move forward]

"It's great to meet you..."

【Take the boat of fate

even if it's involuntary

Use these hands to wave the oars

Ride the wind

Pray for peace]

"Farewell...everyone."

"Farewell... Zong Sijun, and Xiaoqianhe..."

"Farewell... Yijun."

"Farewell... Mr. Hijikata—"

She paused suspiciously, and the corners of her lips slowly curved upward.

At the same time, a big tear ran across the corner of her lips, and before it hovered on her chin, it was blown away by the sea breeze without a sound.

"...Mr. A-year-old."

She breathed out the new title with a sigh.

As Mr. Shannan said, every time we say goodbye, it’s always a farewell.

So, so be it.

【Even if life is only for a short moment

Even Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly

but also to change the future

lets go

towards the distance]

She was facing Hakodate Bay, and the strong wind was blowing from the sea, slapping her cheeks, making it hard for her to keep her eyes open.

The scarf tied to the railing of the shore path not long ago must be fluttering in the same wind now.

Can it last until the day Mr. Hijikata finds it? ...But even if you can't find it, it doesn't matter.

As long as this world is safe...as long as those important people stop sacrificing and can live well in this brand new world, then that's fine.

She slowly closed her eyes, moved her lips, and finally said the increasingly difficult words to the system bacteria.

"Let's go."
