Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

Human beings are inherently hypocritical and irrational. They are capable of feeling their own thoughts when making choices, and their own actions do not mean they are without dissatisfaction.

The mere thought of Jiang Cheng embracing Alicia, of having something that once belonged only to her being taken by someone else, and of the tools she had left behind to make Jiang Cheng a bit rougher, might even be thrown away.

I felt an urge to punch him—this is not an exaggeration at all—just an uncontrollable fantasy was enough to convey the pain of having my heart pierced, as if my soul were being torn to pieces.

However, regardless of whether Alicia cares about Jiang Cheng, whether she ignores him as before, or whether she can do her job well.

This doesn't mean that Virvi wanted to see Alicia here in this state.

The same way I appeared here after I died.

They are even more desperate than I am.

There was not even any dissatisfaction or resentment left.

Because this would only mean that Jiang Cheng has lost all his relatives, and no one will ever comfort him or fill the void left after his death.

Undoubtedly, upon seeing Alicia's devastated state, the insecure genius already knew that losing his family and love, and being unable to fill the void in his heart, might be the best outcome for Jiang Cheng.

Even if Wilvi used all her self-control, she still had the willpower to not bring her face close to Jiang Cheng's chest to breathe when they embraced.

Only at this moment, this willpower, which could be considered top-tier even among humans, could only prevent him from rushing up and grabbing Alicia's collar, and from using a forceful, questioning, and commanding tone.

"Jiang Cheng... what happened?"

"What exactly happened between you?"

"Why...why did this happen?!"

……

no respond.

Sleeping Beauty and Snow White gave no answer, lying there coldly, like a withered flower, as if they had really eaten the poisoned apple, really pricked their fingers on the spinning wheel, and died completely.

Only a prince's kiss can awaken a princess; today, only a lover's kiss, a kiss from the protagonists of a fairy tale, can do it.

The once lively Alicia, who was initially flattered by the invitation in Vilvie's eyes, was now viewed through a lens of dislike due to Jiang Cheng's influence, and could no longer be found to resemble the girl she once was.

Yes, the flowers are still fragrant. Even though their souls are almost dead, their flawless appearance and natural fragrance are enough to show their beauty and attract anyone in the world.

This fragrance ultimately remained only on the surface; the decayed and dead interior sank to the bottom of the sea, and after countless pressures, it fell into silence.

There is absolutely no need for any extra openings.

The scene of a once lively fairy now lying here.

Isn't this proof that transcends any empty and tedious linguistic explanation?

Everything, everything, was showing Vilvie what was happening, as if a talkative myna bird was circling around her, proclaiming an established fact, its dry and rough voice awkwardly and ridiculously recounting the arrival of despair.

Thoughts, will, and even personality are suffocated by this sudden disaster; everything that constitutes 'Vilvie' is crushed so easily.

……

The girl's delicate lips were tightly bitten by her pearly white teeth, and she did not loosen her grip even when there were traces of bright red blood, as if she wanted to seal away the characters along with all the information, turning them into foolish and unaware ostriches.

We should have known this a long time ago.

I should have understood this a long time ago.

They were simply running away from everything and fearing everything.

Just like before, I haven't made any progress since leaving Jiangcheng. As long as the sunlight is gone, the shadow is still just a shadow.

The message from Padofelis wasn't complicated, and we already knew what it meant. It wasn't something incomprehensible; if she could travel to this world after death, there was no reason why others couldn't.

If it weren't for Alicia coming from another world, given the fear those heroes had of her, she would never have been invited to leave.

Why did it turn out this way?

Why would this happen?

Although I've only been in this world for a few months, Alicia should be staying by Jiangcheng's side, living a happy life, according to the plan. She shouldn't be here like me.

The plan couldn't possibly go wrong, it shouldn't go wrong. It already encompassed all of Alicia's possible personality traits, so it didn't matter if it was perfunctory. Having the kindness of an ordinary person was enough to accomplish the task.

There's absolutely no need to do anything extra, no need to think about anything extra; all you need to do is, as a friend, arrive at just the right time to offer comfort.

That's enough.

Plans have been made for everything related to Jiangcheng.

Everything Jiangcheng might need has been prepared in advance.

The detailed table covers everything that needs to be done for every holiday, every week, every day, every minute, every second, and every time period.

To avoid upsetting the young girl and making her unwilling to take responsibility, the materials needed for the next seventy years have already been produced in the warehouse.

She doesn't need to send the messages herself; the device will send them precisely at the designated time. All she has to do is send them over.

Even the birthday gifts she would give Jiang Cheng every year had been prepared in advance. The backup plan had already encompassed the boy's entire life. All Alicia needed to do was to appear gentle and sweet on the surface.

There shouldn't be any problems anymore.

Why……

Why is there still a problem?

……

“I’m asking you a question, Alicia.”

"Tell me what happened!"

He persisted in asking questions, even though the girl in front of him had already fallen into the deepest ocean, crushed by the weight, and the negative emotions surrounding her were enough to prove her weakness and helplessness a thousand times over.

Whether it's a cruel demand to reopen the wounds of a young girl, or to wake up a victim who has finally fallen into numbness and sleep.

That's what the girl was going to do—without mercy or kindness, she wanted to investigate the origin of the matter and find out why this had happened.

Alicia was completely incomparable to the boy; strictly speaking, nothing in the world could compare to that one and only light.

What exactly happened to Jiang Cheng?

This is more important than anything else.

Why would this happen when everything was prepared?

Why is it that a being possessing such power, even surpassing the Herrschers—enough to make a girl who controls 70% of Paradise feel troubled, and even as a Memory Being—a being born with defects and absolutely countered by geniuses in data, able to be deleted with just a little running—still possesses such combat power that it cannot be called a human being?

Even after taking over everything from himself, obtaining the weapons and all the plans he left behind, he still fell into such despair and faced death.

why?

……

158. Velvi: Tell me... tell me!

The tone gradually rose, the voice gradually worsened, and the very thing called patience was being worn down by the silent questioning.

The facade that could be maintained on the surface, that was relatively less malicious, and that could be considered a platonic friendship, is gradually being torn away.

Wilvi really didn't know how things had to turn out this way, or what unimaginable thing had to happen to destroy everything.

—Even Alicia didn't need to prepare a gift.

—Even Alicia didn't need to send a message of blessing.

The gifts have been prepared in advance, and I can give them to you on the holiday. I have also prepared thousands of holiday wishes in the voice of the fairy.

Everything about Jiangcheng, what he likes to eat, what time he usually goes to bed, and his unique fondness for buttocks were all written down in advance as things to pay attention to.

All possible scenarios have been taken into account, including Jiang Cheng's personality, Alicia's personality, and any possible stimuli or anomalies in their future lives. Under the full wisdom of the genius named Qun, what has been achieved is an almost omniscient ability.

It's never been a one-sided genius, a genius with a single trait, but rather all of it, everything. It's not even limited to minor subjects like biology, geography, or chemistry; everything that can be called talent is naturally abundant. Any single talent, any single special ability, could be taken out on its own and create a genius who would be remembered in history books.

When all the characteristics are combined in a comprehensive way, the result is absolutely incomparable to any single talent that is developed in isolation.

Jiangcheng, Alicia, Mebius, the Fire-Chasing Moth, and even humanity itself... all aspects and possibilities have been considered.

Everything in human history—what might have happened, what might not have happened, what has happened in the past, and what might happen in the future—has been thoroughly studied.

Ultimately, the so-called complexity of human nature is based on the lack of sufficient and strong analytical ability to encompass any single variable.

If one is focused enough and driven by enough motivation, and if a genius, even 50,000 years after death, can still fulfill a 'person's' wishes with all their might, then it would be possible to create a plan that is 100% reliable based on all current data, right?

The girl possessed this talent.

They also have things they absolutely must do.

Something that is a million times more important than one's own life.

Create the most secure plan, and with the most passionate and extreme emotion called love, use your own efforts to create absolute happiness.

The plan that was left behind was so complex that anyone who could obtain it, anyone who could see it, could become the most outstanding genius scholar and stand at the top.

Without needing to enhance their own strength, without needing extraordinary talent, and even without any special abilities, as long as they are literate and have ordinary intelligence, they can understand the simplest part of the plan within a few decades and stand at the pinnacle of human rights with this insignificant level.

This is equivalent to, or even surpasses, the so-called "golden finger" in novels. Its all-encompassing nature is probably only comparable to the vast treasure trove of information available through a search engine. The only shortcoming might be the inevitable limitations imposed by age and preconceived notions...

what……

Yes.

It has limitations.

Wilvi's delicate body suddenly trembled. Her pearly white teeth, biting her lip, seemed to have lost all feeling of pain. Even the fingertips gripping the corner of the table fell limply down the smooth edge. Her eyes, glistening with tears, seemed to have thought of something, and a glimmer of despair lit up in her pure bewilderment.

—It's too early.

I died too young.

Death is merely the arrival of the second collapse.
