Fang Qi was stunned.
His mouth remained half-open.
In his mind, all those prepared lengthy speeches, those complex explanations about game settings, player quests, and good ending conditions...
All got stuck in his throat!
Choking him so much he could barely catch his breath!
No...
Wait...?
She... already knew?!
Pfft...
She reverted to her smiling, little devilish self!
She even playfully winked her left eye, as if saying, Why is Master so surprised?
Of course Liguang already knew~
She dragged out the end of her sentence, her voice as sweet as melted strawberry syrup, yet carrying an unquestionable certainty:
From the moment Master's consciousness was completely brought over here to Liguang... Liguang already knew everything!
She tilted her head slightly, her silver hair shimmering with a delicate luster under the neon lights.
Master's memories, Master's thoughts, Master's deepest hidden secrets...
She reached out a slender index finger and gently tapped her temple:
They are all... right in here.
Including where Master came from, including the game, and including... the loops.
With every word she spoke, Fang Qi's heart sank a little further.
The situation... had completely developed beyond his control!
She... already knew?
And... she knew everything?!
The shocking secret he thought he would have to waste his breath on, or even be treated like a madman to explain...
Was actually completely transparent to Liguang all along?!
Seeing him still looking as if his soul had left his body, the silver-haired girl's smile deepened!
It was an expression that mixed doting, understanding...
And a trace of sick satisfaction!
Her upturned lips... were even trembling slightly from excessive pleasure!
She stood up gracefully and, in two steps, straddled Fang Qi's lap!
Carrying that faint, unchanging sweet strawberry scent, she softly embraced him!
Her cheek gently pressed against the side of Fang Qi's stiff neck, her warm breath brushing over his skin.
Her voice became light and soft, as if soothing a frightened little animal:
Looping over and over again... it must be very tiring, right, Master?
Her fingertips gently traced across his back with a comforting touch:
Watching Liguang lose control time and time again, while having to be so careful not to let your secret be discovered... Master, you must have worked so hard.
She lifted her face, her heterochromatic eyes staring at him from close range, filled with genuine heartache.
But it's alright now.
Liguang affectionately rubbed her nose against his chin:
It's all in the past, Master doesn't need to be so tired anymore. Here, in Liguang's world...
Master can rest well, forever.
Her tone... was so gentle it could drip water.
As if promising the most wonderful future!
Liguang will take good care of Master, satisfying Master's every request... absolutely everything.
Fang Qi subconsciously held the silver-haired girl in his arms.
At his nose was entirely that familiar yet heart-palpitating scent of hers!
But his brain... was still buzzing from the impact of the information just now!
Knew...
She knew everything...?
Then doesn't that mean...!
A flash of light crossed his chaotic thoughts!
Hiss!
Since Liguang knew everything, then she definitely also knew about the ultimate goal of Eternal True Love!
She must know that such a good ending exists!
Then...
Would she be willing to cooperate?
For the sake of that truly meaningful forever together that could be acknowledged by the outside world!
...Thinking about it this way, there was no flaw!
He still had a chance!
This thought instantly dispelled his confusion and powerlessness!
His spirits lifted, and he almost subconsciously grabbed Liguang's arms in return, his tone turning urgent:
Liguang! Since you know, then you must also understand that we can actually!
Shh...
But Liguang extended a slender white finger, its cool tip gently pressing against his lips, interrupting the persuasion he was about to blurt out.
She still looked at him with a smile, her beautiful heterochromatic eyes curving into crescents, flickering with a light that saw through everything, and even...
A trace of mischievous amusement!
It seemed she...
Had long anticipated he would say this?
And was even waiting with great interest for his performance?
Fang Qi's eyelids twitched.
...But he couldn't care about that much anymore!
He had to seize this chance!
He immediately sped up his speech: We don't have to be like this! We should achieve Eternal True Love, and in that ending, we would truly be able to!
But Liguang suddenly spoke.
Is Master talking about...
The Eternal True Love achieved with other Liguangs?
The silver-haired girl gently tilted her head, her voice still soft and sweet, even carrying a curious tone.
But the force of the finger pressing against Fang Qi's lips slightly increased!
Fang Qi: ?
His words came to an abrupt halt!
Other... Liguangs?
He couldn't quite process it.
That's right.
Liguang nodded, the smile on her face not changing in the slightest, even becoming more radiant and bright, as if discussing whether today's strawberry cake was sweet or not!
Just those... Liguangs who spent time with Master during Master's repeated loops.
She slightly turned her head, her silver hair brushing across Fang Qi's shoulder, her eyes clear and innocent.
The words she spoke... however, sent a chill down Fang Qi's spine!
They are them, and Liguang is Liguang.
Her tone was matter-of-fact, carrying an innocent cruelty:
Seeing in Master's memories that you spent so much time with so many other Liguangs...
Liguang is actually... a little angry.
The corners of her lips curled higher, but a swift, icy red glint flashed deep within her crimson eyes!
Originally, just thinking about Master being so intimate with them...
Liguang couldn't help but want to... severely punish Master!
She leaned in closer, her voice lowered, carrying a hint of coquettish grievance, yet hiding a sharp edge:
It's just that, thinking about how Master was recently...
She gently stroked his neck.
...That is why Liguang hasn't had the heart to actually make a move yet.
Fang Qi's throat felt as if it were blocked by something.
He couldn't spit out a single word!
Looking at Liguang's smiling face so close at hand, the smile flawless, sweet, and moving...
Every hair on his body quietly stood on end in this instant!
This crazy woman...
Actually didn't consider the Liguangs from other playthroughs as herself at all?!
In her eyes, they were actually... other people?!
They were invaders who had occupied her Master's attention and affection?!
And just now...
He was still trying to use achieving a good ending with another Liguang... to persuade her?
At this moment, Liguang gently changed the subject:
Besides, Master working so hard to achieve that whatever Eternal True Love, and then...
She still wore a smile, but her tone suddenly turned a little colder:
"Do you want to leave Liguang's world and return to Master's original place?"
She pulled back slightly, cupping Fang Qi's somewhat stiff face in her hands, forcing him to meet her gaze!
The force was gentle, yet irresistible!
"In Master's heart... is Liguang just a 'game character' to be casually conquered, played with, and thrown away after clearing the game?"
As she said this, her eyes remained curved in a smile, and a faint blush lingered on her cheeks.
However, the originally warm yellow light inside the Ferris wheel cabin... instantly dimmed!
The omnipresent sweet scent of strawberries in the air... seemed to be mixed with a very faint smell of burning!
What made his scalp tingle even more was—
Around Liguang, a tangible, pale black mist was silently spreading!
The black mist wasn't thick, but it coiled around the tips of her hair like a living creature!
Making her sweet smile, set against the backdrop of neon lights and the night... reveal a thrillingly eerie beauty!
...That wasn't an illusion!
That was her emotion!
A materialized anomaly triggered in this spiritual world completely under her control!
Fang Qi was instantly rendered speechless!
Cold sweat seeped from the back of his neck!
Ah... right...!
He only thought about her knowing the "Good Ending," but forgot that she also knew—
After achieving "Eternal Love," according to the game's logic... he would "clear the game"! He would leave this world!
And return to his reality!
To Liguang, who had "forever together" carved into her core, even going so far as to imprison his consciousness here...
This wasn't hope at all; it was the most absolute betrayal and separation!
And now, it was obvious...
She was already displeased by this possibility!
Looking at Fang Qi's instantly pale face and speechless demeanor... Liguang suddenly let out a "pfft" and laughed again!
The laughter was crisp and pleasant, and the eerie black mist instantly dissipated!
The silver-haired girl pressed up against him again, wrapping her arms around his neck!
She buried her cheek in the crook of his shoulder, rubbing against it like a spoiled kitten, her tone returning to its previous sweet and soft stickiness:
"Liguang doesn't blame Master. Really."
Her voice was muffled, carrying a satisfied sigh:
"Because now, Master completely and utterly, from soul to consciousness... belongs to Liguang. You can never run away again."
She looked up, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, filled with undisguised, sickly possessiveness and joy:
"This is enough."
As her voice fell, she suddenly released her embracing arms.
She got up from Fang Qi's lap and took a small step back.
Then, before he could recover his senses... she gently raised her right hand and waved it casually!
In an instant, the brilliant night view of the city outside the Ferris wheel cabin became like a water surface struck by a stone...
Violently rippling and twisting!
The neon lights stretched into long ribbons of color, and the high-rise buildings collapsed and deformed like melting wax figures!
Fang Qi looked out the window in astonishment.
The distorted scenery was rapidly reorganizing, filling in, and solidifying!
In just a few breaths, the familiar night view of the amusement park outside the window completely disappeared.
Replaced by...
A wide street bustling with traffic.
Bustling pedestrians, flashing traffic lights.
By the roadside were the familiar chain store signs of snowmen and sika deer.
And the faintly discernible silhouette of his hometown city's landmark buildings in the distance!
The clamor of voices, the honking of cars, even the faint pop songs coming from roadside shops...
All sorts of noisy, yet incredibly familiar sounds...
Rushed in all at once!
Fang Qi was stunned.
This was... the city from his memories!
The place where he lived before he crossed over!
Every single detail...
Matched perfectly with the impressions buried deep in his mind!
The silver-haired girl stood opposite him, backed by the urban street scene so familiar it made him dazed.
The night breeze blew her long silver hair and the hem of her white dress. A brilliantly bright smile bloomed on her face, even carrying a hint of wanting credit.
Her heterochromatic eyes, reflecting the city's neon lights, flickered with a strange yet gentle brilliance.
"Look, Master."
Her voice was brisk and sweet, as if offering up the most precious treasure:
"Liguang can take Master home too, you see? This way... Master won't miss home anymore, right?"
Fang Qi: "..."
He stared blankly at the smiling silver-haired girl in front of him.
...It's over.
He seemed...
To truly be sinking into this.
Truly... completely helpless.
