Is there anyone who really wants to be a partner of justice?

"It directly turns into real reality and connects to the real world line. So, you are not going back in time to change reality, but directly creating a reality that satisfies you."

Youxia's explanation made Shinichi's eyes widen. Wow, creating reality? Is the concept so advanced? If a card of this level was just in the system's mall, it would be worth at least a million dollars, right?

Shinichi was a little flattered by such a powerful card, and asked, "Is it really okay to give me such a powerful card?"

"Of course. I care about your safety! So, you have to make good use of this card, understand? If you encounter an opponent you are not sure you can beat, just reload the save file! Be cautious!

The reason I gave you this card is to make you understand that you should not be complacent just because you can get through the Novice Village. Your strength is just the beginning in the entire Knight Universe. Think twice before you fight in the future!"

Shinichi nodded obediently: "okokok~ my wife is right! But... if you give this kind of card to Youxia, won't it have any impact?"

"Ah... ahem, although this card has a powerful effect, I still have other powerful enough cards to use, so it won't have much impact on me!"

Youxia looked at Shinichi's shining expression and used a smile to cover up her guilty conscience. As for why she felt guilty...

To be honest, although Youxia talks about the high concept of this card, this card is actually a show-off thing that Youxia made when he was DIYing the cards. The concept is high and it is quite intimidating, but the effect is no different from the normal time travel.

For a newbie like Shinichi, wow! Reload the save! wow! Reality overlay! wow! So awesome!

But for Youxia, this skill is actually a useless one. He can go back in time easily, so why bother with such a roundabout way of overlaying reality?

It just so happens that Shinichi wants the card to strengthen himself, and Youxia can also get rid of this useless thing she DIYed. However, it’s still the same thing. It’s useless to me, but to Shinichi, this card is still an extremely powerful bug skill.

Looking at Shinichi's satisfied expression, Youxia breathed a sigh of relief. Ha~ He is still quite satisfied~

She chuckled and teased Shinichi, "I suddenly feel like a rich woman who keeps a gigolo~"

When Shinichi heard this, he grinned and said, "Isn't this just right? In your previous life, when you confessed to me, you also told me that as long as I agreed, you would pay for my support in the future. You should know that you were still a high school student at that time, and you didn't think before you said big words~

Now it’s all right, my dream has come true~ From now on I will rely on you, my wife, to support me~ Rich woman, I’m hungry, I need food~”

"Wow..." Bai Youxia blushed and responded, "I didn't brag at the time... Anyway, my parents dote on me and give me a few thousand a month for living expenses... It's definitely enough to support Zhenyi."

"..."

Shinichi felt a little bit of the rich woman's shock...

Then he touched Youxia's face with a puzzled look, pinched it and asked, "So, you had such a good living condition at that time, why did you want to commit suicide?"

"Ouch..." This time, Youxia did not reject Shinichi's kneading, but squinted her eyes to feel his touch, and replied: "I couldn't help it. I really felt so painful every day..."

"Oh..." Shinichi sighed helplessly. Although he said that he couldn't figure it out, he knew the reason a little bit. Physiological depression is different from psychological depression. This kind of depression is a defect in physiological function and cannot be cured by talk therapy.

Although, for Shinichi, he may never understand what depression feels like in his entire life.

Seeing that Shinichi looked a little depressed, Youxia spread his hands and smiled: "But after traveling through time, I found that I no longer have that feeling. Look, I am much better now~"

"Well, much better."

Shinichi touched Youxia's head and gave her an unpleasant smile.

The flirting was almost over. Youxia held the system in his hand and ended the time stagnation. The system felt that it was just flying out, and in the blink of an eye it fell into Youxia's hands, and it immediately panicked.

"Wait wait wait! Let's talk this out! Miss Bai? Ms. Bai? Grandma Bai!!"

"I'm not that old!" Youxia immediately retorted.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The system apologized quickly, and then asked tremblingly: "Um... can I ask, what do you want to do with me?"

"Woo~ After all, I'm not a demon~ I just sliced ​​up your artificial intelligence and your system to study~"

"Quack! I don't want it!" The system screamed when it heard it, it turned its head to look at Shinichi, and quickly pleaded: "Host! Ah no, Shinichi! After all, it was my appearance that helped you get out of the predicament!

I have traveled through various universes to come to you. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard! Please have mercy on me and plead for me! I don’t want to be sliced ​​and studied! From the time I was born to now, I haven’t even passed one year old! Woo woo woo! "

Shinichi listened to the inhumane wail of the system and laughed unkindly. Sorry, he just liked this kind of hellish joke built on the pain of others~

"Ah~ Since you have really helped me a lot... I will ask for a favor~"

"Thank you, Shinichi! From now on, you are my second parents!"

"Um, Youxia..."

"Ok?"

"There's no need to slice and study it. It's inhumane... Euthanasia~"

"…Noooo! The Authority! Save me!!!"

Chapter 142 Obsession and Conflict

It's no use saying NO. The system's wailing cannot change its current status quo. Youxia put the system in his hand into his own private space.

Seeing that the system was really taken in by Youxia, Shinichi asked curiously: "Do you really want to slice this thing and study it?"

"Ha~ I'm just trying to show it some strength. To be honest, an artificial intelligence doesn't need my people to deceive research. We even have an artificial intelligence with an outstanding personality. What I need most is the design of the system itself."

Shinichi frowned and asked, "Since it's not a slice study, what are you going to do with this thing?"

"As you said, euthanasia~" Youxia responded with his hands spread out.

"Artificial intelligence can also perform euthanasia?" Shinichi was just making it up at the time. He really didn't know how this kind of artificial intelligence could perform euthanasia, but...

"Oh, whatever. Although, without someone to bicker with and amuse us, it might not be so lively in the future."

Shinichi himself didn't think it was such a pity. After all, his feelings for the system couldn't be said to be as strong as iron, but they could be said to be like strangers.

And Youxia glanced at Shinichi, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Just when Youxia explained the whole story to Shinichi, the two old lovers who hadn't seen each other for a long time wanted to talk on the phone and reminisce about the past. However, when Youxia was about to speak, he was suddenly stunned, and then sighed helplessly and snapped his fingers.

The inexplicable feeling of stagnation came again, and Shinichi asked in surprise: "Youxia? Why did you stop time again?"

"It's not a big deal... It's just that Akiyama Li used Time Advent again."

Zhen Yi was shocked: "This is not a big deal!? What's going on?"

"Well... Akiyama Li's mental state has been a little unstable in the last few reincarnations... After all, in her experience, she has been reincarnated for decades..."

"This..." Shinichi was stunned. At first, he had no idea about reincarnation, but after calculating the time, Akiyama Li's obsession was extremely deep. After decades, she was still persistent and unwilling to give up.

But...why did she suddenly start the time coming?

……

"Snapped!"

Mai's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Akiyama Li with a complicated expression, anger, pity, and guilt. However, despite such a complicated expression, she still chose to slap her in the face, because she could not accept that Akiyama Li had broken through her limits again and again in order to save herself...

Time goes back to ten minutes ago. When Akiyama Li told Mai the whole story, Mai felt a little unbelievable for a moment.

After all, it was really hard for her to imagine that in a place she didn't know, there actually existed an unknown knight who had gone through decades of reincarnation to save her. This fantasy plot that seemed like something out of a novel was actually happening to her.

Moreover, after learning about Li's persistence in saving herself, Mai felt some sympathy and affection for her. After all, the cause of all this was actually herself, wasn't it? If she hadn't saved Li, Li wouldn't have been so persistent in saving herself...

However, if she were to go back to the starting point of all reincarnations, back to the beginning where she could save Li, and give up saving Li because it would lead to reincarnation, Mai could not do it. Even if she knew what the consequences would be, she would choose to save Li without hesitation.

Because this is her character and this is the philosophy she implements!

Perhaps, I was a little too harsh on Li. There were some problems of my own, right? Li, who had given so much to save me, didn't seem like someone who would hurt others.

So, Mai restrained her somewhat aggressive attitude (which was actually not very aggressive at all), sat next to Li, and said, "Li, I understand, I am very grateful that you choose to reincarnate to save me again and again.

But, forgive me, I cannot accept such a rescue. For my own life, I have to pay such a high price... I feel bad about it myself. So, Li, can I ask you, no matter what the outcome of this reincarnation is, just let everything end, okay?"

"Let everything end..."

"Yes, no matter what the final outcome is, even if it's my death, I hope that you can accept it, Li, and live seriously without my company. Shinichi told me that people shouldn't give up their lives just because someone leaves.

He also said that the world will not stop because of the death of one person, and I also think that the world should not stop because of my death. It is too selfish to take the whole world back just for me..."

"Accept Mai's death and live on..." Li pondered blankly.

"Yeah!" Mai's expression brightened and she nodded. How she hoped that Li could figure this out...

However, the premise of thinking it through is that people are confused about their future. Is Li confused? No, she has never been confused. From the first reincarnation, she has been carrying an almost crazy obsession to save Mai.

And this obsession did not fade with time. On the contrary, with repeated efforts, paying the price, and experiencing pain, all these hardships made her inner obsession even more indestructible!

Because, she has paid so much! She has been through so much! How could she give up just because of one side? She has gone through so much pain and didn't choose to give up. How could she give up just because of a word of comfort? Even if it was Zhenyi's comfort, she couldn't give up!

Should people be so magnanimous? Do people have to look forward? When you have the ability to change everything, do you really need to compromise? If you compromise now, what is the meaning of everything you have done!

Mai is very important, but even if Mai advises me, do I have to listen to her?

Mai... I want to save you! What does it have to do with you?

"No!" After an inner struggle, Li gritted her teeth and shouted "No!"

"I will definitely save you, Mai! Because this is my motivation to survive! This is the meaning of my life! Even if you don't understand me, Mai! I will still continue to reincarnate! Until I find the ending where you can survive!"

Seeing Li's roar, Mai was startled and couldn't help but stand up and take two steps back. At that moment, she felt a sense of paranoia and madness in Li's eyes that made her feel inexplicably terrified...

Looking at this paranoia and madness, the question in Mai's heart that she had chosen to keep silent about once again came to her mind.

She had planned to have a good talk with Li about this issue after everything calmed down, but now seeing Li's crazy side, she took a deep breath and chose to ask now: "Li... In other words, are you willing to do anything to save me?"

"Of course! Other people don't matter! It doesn't matter if this world is stagnant or something! As long as I can find the ending that allows Mai to survive! I'm willing to do anything!"

Mai asked loudly, "Even if you have to kill others to save me!?"

In response to Mai's questioning, Li responded without hesitation: "Why not!"

"…So…it was you who killed the senior…Li…"

"..." After completely venting her deepest thoughts, Li took a few heavy breaths and said, "It's me... I hope that you, Mai, will not participate in the Knight War because of this."

Mai couldn't help but clench her fists. She looked at Li in front of her with a look of grief and anger and said, "If that's the case... then I can't accept it! I don't agree with sacrificing other people's lives to save mine!"

"This is just a process! Moreover, even if I don't kill him, his ending is death! And then pass the card box to you! I just advance the process in the hope that you, Mai, will not touch the card box!"

As she spoke, Akiyama Li smiled softly and said, "And, if you, Mai, really don't want the former Dragon Knight to die, as long as I find a way to save you in the end, I can reincarnate again and save him at the same time, isn't that enough~"

"Snapped!"

Just as Akiyama Li said this with an indifferent attitude, Mai suddenly rushed forward and slapped Li on the cheek.

The crisp sound of the slap plunged the entire bedroom into silence. Li felt the burning pain on her cheek and looked a little dazed, while Mai had tears in her eyes and shook her head with trembling hands, "I misjudged you... Li..."

She wanted to say more harsh words, but looking at Li's dazed and dazed face, no matter how many harsh words she wanted to say, they disappeared on her lips because of her pure and kind character. In the end, she just wiped her eyes, turned around and chose to leave the room.

Before leaving the room, Mai leaned against the door frame and said, "Li...thank you for telling me so much. I'm sorry...I can't accept this...I can't change you..."

After saying that, Mai took a deep breath and left the room.

Li, sitting on the bed, was still feeling the phantom pain on her cheek. Looking at the empty room, Mai's incomprehension and the slap in the face hurt her heart badly. However, she also knew that what she did would not be recognized by Mai, so she chose to meet Mai less and less in the subsequent reincarnations.

Because once they met, she would find it difficult to control her impulse. She wanted to vent her pain and grievances from so many reincarnation experiences to someone else, and she also hoped that when she vented, she could get understanding from Mai...

However, she was also very clear that from the moment she chose to kill someone to save Mai for the first time, she was getting further and further away from Mai...

Ha... If you don't understand, then just don't understand... As long as you can get that ending... everything will be solved.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take out the card of Time's Coming from the card box, and recalled the slap that Zhenyi gave her...

This reincarnation that Mai doesn't understand is meaningless...

Chapter 143: Accumulation of Weight

"Akiyama Li activated Time Advent? Why?"

Shinichi raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised, but Youxia looked calm and said, "This is Shinichi. You don't understand girls, and you don't understand Akiyama Li. She is different from you. You have let go of everything and can calmly choose to let go.

However, Li is different. Although she has become mature and stable over time, her inner emotionality has never changed. For the one she loves, she is willing to do anything, and if she cannot achieve this, she is willing to start over again and again...

This is the ultimate persistence in human nature, and it is Li’s ultimate love for Mai.”

As he spoke, Youxia snapped his fingers again. Shinichi looked at the things around him and saw that they began to move again, but the direction of movement had a strange frequency, and time began to flow backwards!

"...If Akiyama Li reopens this time... doesn't that mean everything I did before will be in vain?" Looking at the clouds flying across the sky and the changing weather, Shinichi muttered somewhat unhappily.

"No, the resetting of time does not mean that the past reincarnations no longer exist. What has happened will not lose its meaning because of the restart. All this accumulation and accumulation of weight will eventually lead to qualitative changes.

So, Shinichi, what you did was not meaningless. It can even be said that your joining has planted the seeds for ending this cycle of reincarnation."

"Youxia, why have you become so weird after not seeing you for so many years..." Shinichi pouted speechlessly and complained: "I think... I haven't done anything particularly important..."

"In fact, you have already done it... Shinichi, who do you think is the real core of this reincarnation? Is it Odin? Or Akiyama Li?"

Shinichi spread his hands and said, "Do you even need to ask? It's obviously Takahashi Mai. I originally thought that there were no Kanzaki siblings in this world, but now I realize that their relationship has become that of Yaki x Ryuki. If this is the case, Mai is a similar existence to Kanzaki Yui, and is the key to solving the dilemma."

"Shinichi, you're still so sharp... So, you still think that what you did is meaningless?"

Shinichi stroked his chin and thought for a while before saying, "Isn't it just helping Mai... I really don't think it's a big deal."
