Steampunk Era: Mad Abield

"Why?" Malin wanted to know the reason—there must be a reason why a girl who once couldn’t bear to kill even a little rabbit could do this.

"They had already devolved into cannibals. If given time, they would surely become followers of Chaos, so I must destroy them." Saying this, Susu shook her head: "Alright, I’m going to hand you over to this child now."

Malin felt the passage of time again and simultaneously noticed the fact that the girl beside him had disappeared.

Meng Quyi, who pushed open the door and entered, noticed the disappointment on Malin’s face. She scanned the room, saw nothing of note, and walked over with her hands behind her back, scrutinizing Malin: "What’s wrong."

"Nothing, just thought of things before the destruction." Malin began to lie, and also noticed the tablet in her hand.

The girl’s eyes sparkled: "I found choices in the game. Can I change the endings of these stories through different choices?"

Malin shook his head: "No, these stories are actually meant to tell us that life is a game that can’t be saved, a performance woven with life. Whether it’s regrets on the Moon or regrets in the search for paradise, they all tell us a truth, that the countless regrets in life shape our life."

Wiping the corners of her eyes, Meng Quyi regained her strength. She placed the tablet on the table, then reached out to embrace Malin.

"Being honest with myself, I did like someone, but I gradually realized it was just a youthful longing for a hero. He has his partner, his life, and his end, and all of that is like the stories in games, seeming beautiful but not something I could enter."

Saying this, Meng Quyi sighed: "I regret not meeting you first. If I had met you earlier, I would have tried my best to make you fall in love with me, but now I do not regret it, because I see in you the qualities a hero should have... I won’t be disappointed, please don’t let me down, okay?"

Faced with Meng Quyi’s request, Malin finally embraced her.
