Scrolling through short videos and seeing embarrassing moments, has even the Mi Home ecosystem broke

"I'm sorry... Trailblazers..."

Faced with death, all that remained was two lines of tears, and a weak voice escaping her lips.

In her dying moments, the girl's only last words were apologies to Xing—apologies that she could no longer see Xing, that she could no longer play with Xing, enjoy food with Xing, or watch shooting stars together...

Xing's eyes trembled violently. Although the firefly was almost within reach, she still couldn't change what was happening before her eyes.

She could only watch helplessly as the girl with whom she had shared joyful times was pierced through the chest by a sharp blade right before her eyes—

With the girl's weak and feeble cry, the sharp blade sank even deeper into her chest.

The firefly's lips trembled weakly; in the end, she had even lost the strength to moan.

As [Memory Realm Meme] removed the blade, water splashed as it left the barrel, taking with it the life of the firefly.

The girl's body fell limply from the air. In her panic, Xing even dropped the baseball bat in her hand and rushed to meet her.

Although Xing caught Liu Ying and finally held her tightly in his arms, it was already too late.

With her chest pierced, the firefly had no chance of survival. Even in this dreamlike land where death was impossible, the appearance of the [Memory Realm Meme] was a symbol of despair.

A person who dies in a dream will also lose their brain; the [Memory Realm Meme] is such a terrifying existence.

Even though Xing tried her best to salvage the situation, Liu Ying's body in her arms remained like water that couldn't be stopped flowing from her fingertips.

Finally, in Xing's rapidly widening eyes, the reflection of Liu Ying was no longer visible.

Only the splashing water, a sight both despairing and heartbreaking...

Liu Ying, the girl who accompanied her through the entire amusement park, the girl who was willing to empty her savings for her, in the end all that remained was a photo of them together...

………………

………………

Even though Huang Quan and the Black Swan were watching the [Memory Domain Meme] warily, the ferocious and terrifying insect beast gave them no chance, leaving as if it had completed its mission after killing Liu Ying...

The terrifying figure slowly retreated into the eerie mist, its grotesque form disappearing along with the dissipating fog...

The scene freezes at this moment, lingering on Xing's listless gaze at the pool of water formed from fireflies before him.

Everyone was stunned, unable to recover from the passing of the firefly.

The impact of the fireflies' passing was so great that people couldn't accept the scene immediately.

Was that beautiful girl just stabbed through the chest like that?

Death should not have occurred in that blissful dreamland. Why was Liu Ying targeted? Why did she die like that?

What secrets lie behind Liu Ying's sudden death? What details have not been revealed?

While everyone was still in a daze, the screen kept displaying the next title—

【Firefly Diary】

Chapter Ninety-Six: Entropy Loss

"Firefly Diary..."

The moment that headline appeared, everyone's hearts tightened.

What would the girl who only met Xing for the first time and spent a day with her write in her diary?

Xing clenched her fists. Would the girl she couldn't save complain about her in her diary?

Even if Xing sees any dissatisfaction towards her in the diary, she will silently accept it because she watched the girl die in front of her and was powerless to do anything about it.

Right before her eyes, right within arm's reach, Firefly was killed...

Xing stared intently at the light screen, waiting for the "Firefly Diary" on the screen to be revealed.

………………

………………

The diary pages were turned one by one, and the first sentence that caught everyone's eye was shocking—

"The doctor said my entropy disorder is incurable and I can only wait to die in the medical pod... Hmm... In that case, I might as well go and find something fun in my dreams."

"The medical bay is so cold..."

…………

…………

"Entropy syndrome..."

The moment those who knew about this illness saw those three large characters, they couldn't help but gasp in horror...

On the Star Train, amidst the bewildered gazes of the stars, Himeko, Danheng, March 7th, and Walter Yang wore complex expressions, their faces showing reluctance, sympathy, and sadness.

Their eye contact with Xing revealed emotions that Xing didn't quite understand.

Amidst this confusion, Himeko's mother sighed softly and told Hoshi about the terrible disease, "Entropy Syndrome"—

"It's a strange illness... People suffering from this illness experience irreversible, chronic disintegration of their physical structure, which means they will slowly disappear..."

"This kind of disappearance is so subtle that it's almost imperceptible to others... Although the patient can still live like a normal person, they will always be a little slower than others..."

"That slight slowness will gradually be amplified, and eventually the patient will become slower and slower until the outline of the patient and the whole world becomes blurred, and the distinction between reality and dreams becomes indistinguishable..."

"Because in the eyes of the patient, both reality and dreams are equally fragmented."

Hoshino was stunned as she listened to Himeko's explanation. In other words, Hotaru was an unfortunate person suffering from an incurable disease and not long for life.

Xing didn't quite understand the cause of "entropy syndrome," but why would a girl encounter such a thing at such a beautiful age...

While Xing remained puzzled, the pages of Liuying's diary continued to turn on the light screen.

The girl's innermost thoughts, recorded in her diary, are revealed to everyone scene by scene.

…………

"I saw Pinocchio for the first time today; that place is amazing."

"I was actually able to leave that cold medical pod, to treat the doctor's words as if they were air, and to use my own body to listen, see, and experience this beautiful world at will."

"Although the world I touch, think about, and understand is not real, it is precious enough for me, who can only stay in the medical pod."

It seems that Firefly has already experienced the Pinocchio firsthand; her handwriting in her diary is like that of a little girl who has discovered a new continent, a new toy, or a brand-new secret base, overflowing with joy and delight...

And hidden behind this joy is a pitiful pain that tugs at one's heartstrings.

What kind of misfortune could drive a young girl in the prime of her life to write such heartbreaking words, even regarding "false dreams" as the happiest and most joyful thing?

For a girl who can only sleep in a cold medical pod, even if it's just a fake world...

Is it enough to be able to touch and feel this "false happiness and beauty"?

"There are so many toys, so much food, and so many people there."

"I've never seen so many people before, apart from doctors."

Another thought that Liu Ying had written in her diary sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

Because of her terminal illness, this "Sleeping Beauty" can only sleep in a medical ward, and can only see the bustling world and other people in her false dreams...

This is both a blessing and a cruelty for Firefly, who can only stay in the medical pod.

Unable to witness it herself, she could only entrust it to her dreams...

However, what is even more heartbreaking is the blessing the girl wrote in her diary:

"I hope everyone can laugh this happily in real life, unlike me..."

This illusory beauty, so precious in the eyes of fireflies, and the way it is cherished in the words, breaks the hearts of viewers outside the screen.

However, as the diary was turned, even more breathtaking words appeared before one's eyes—

…………

"The doctor said my entropy is getting worse, and I've completely lost my sense of taste... This might be the last time I dream about this..."

The four large characters, "[The Last Time]", were like a mountain pressing down on everyone's hearts, making it hard to breathe.

Will the world outside the medical pod be the same as the world outside Pinocchio?

"I really want to see..."

Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Pioneers Are the Best

The girl's writing had lost the vibrant color she had displayed when she first met Pinocchio; it seemed that with the doctor's death sentence, the firefly's vitality had vanished as well.

Her diary reflects her longing for the outside world. Although she had seen that blissful dreamland and witnessed the prosperity and joy she had never seen inside the medical pod, Liu Ying still yearned for the real world outside the medical pod.

That was a real world, unlike a "false dream." The firefly wanted to know if the outside world was just as beautiful, prosperous, and wonderful.

But unfortunately... I didn't get to see the fireflies.

She will die in the medical pod after her final dream.

However, the next moment, as the pages of the diary were turned, the girl's sorrow seemed to turn a new page as well, and the words leaping off the page revealed a forced vitality—

"But I saved up a little money today, so I can eat my favorite oak-smoked cake roll again!"

"…………"

The writing in the diary ends here, seemingly the last time the firefly recorded her thoughts before entering the dream world.

As the girl died in front of Xing, the diary, which had only contained a few pages, was left with large blank pages, much like the decades of life that Liu Ying had not been able to experience.

"The last time I entered your dream," is this the final trace left by the firefly...?

In the moment of sorrow in everyone's hearts, the diary, which had no owner, miraculously began to move.

The neat handwriting was exactly like that of fireflies, but it should no longer belong to anyone who wrote it.

This bizarre scene was incomprehensible, but what was truly intriguing was the series of brand-new handwriting on the diary, witnessed by everyone present—

"I met a really strange person. She was carrying a baseball bat and called herself the Galaxy Batista...?"
