Honkai Simulator, why is it always me who is the Herrscher?

"Changan, are you doing well now?"

Eden stopped crying and calmed down. She stopped talking about those heavy topics and only talked about Ye Changan's current situation.

Those who enter the paradise of the afterlife are all living people, and the living should have the happiness of the living.

"Well, I'm doing well. I'm in Taixu Mountain..."

Ye Changan told the story frankly, describing his life in Taixu Mountain without reservation, but he kept the simulation secret.

Maybe saying it out loud could serve as an explanation, but Eden no longer needed those explanations.

"So it's already this era, Hua..."

Eden sighed, and couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Hua's name.

She was originally the one who carried out the Spark Project.

But she entrusted this plan to Hua, and then fell with the fall of the prosperous era.

Even though it was just a memory, she knew the original Eden would do this.

If she had not made that choice, could she see Chang'an again in this era like Hua?

If she had known this earlier, she would have had a different future.

"It's a pity that time cannot be reversed, and the past cannot be repeated..."

Eden said this with a gentle sigh.

"..."

Mebius, who came to confirm, heard it and remained silent.

Because she had said this in her memory.

The past is a painful memory, with choices that will make people regret for a lifetime.

Eden must be like this at this moment, and Mebius cannot agree with it.

"Even if we come back to life, what's the difference? We weren't ourselves in the past, Eden."

A rational yet ruthless voice escaped from Mebius' mouth. She approached, staring at the two people hugging each other with complex snake eyes, and said coldly

"Our past is over. We are not who we once were."

"And he may not be who he once was."

The latter sentence was said to Ye Changan.

The petite Mebius looked at Chang'an, whose figure remained unchanged. He had to look up instead of straight ahead.

This is the most intuitive difference, but the less intuitive differences are also obvious.

The memory and the true self are not the same.

This is particularly evident in Möbius's ideas.

"Mebius, long time no see."

Ye Changan greeted him, but Mebius did not appreciate it and said stubbornly

"We've never met before, so how can you say it's been a long time since we last met?"

You could tell she was furious, not even trying to pretend.

Ye Changan apologized with a wry smile, and then asked Mebius about his memories.

He really didn't understand why these people who remembered themselves would end up with this fixed fate.

The Chang'an Law is still there.

As long as the Chang'an Law is in effect, the previous civilization of this world should not have been connected to this point.

Mebius didn't want to discuss this, but he couldn't resist Ye Changan's sincere persuasion, so he said it reluctantly.

"My memory of you wasn't what I remembered from the beginning."

"But one day, I suddenly discovered that there was a discrepancy between my memory and reality."

"This memory grows with each passing day, just like a dream during sleep.

Living in a world without you, dreaming of a world with you.

Until the end of ****, no more memories of you will be added."

"It's as if you no longer exist from that day on."

So it was with Mebius, and so it was with Eden.

It's just that Eden often indulges in memories that do not belong to reality while being intoxicated, while Mebius regards them as fallacies and never pays attention to them again.

If it weren't for the familiar music, she would never even remember it.

……

……

Chapter 2 of Taixu: 9. Are old fantasies as fragile as bubbles?

After hearing the memory fragments of Mebius and Eden, other heroes such as Alicia and Kevin also came here.

Qianjie didn't come because he didn't know Ye Changan and was not interested in Ye Changan.

Aponya didn't come because it made no difference whether she came or not.

Alicia and Gray looked at Ye Changan, a man with white hair and blue eyes, curiously, then tilted their heads at the same time to look at Kevin.

"...Don't look at me like that, I have nothing to do with him, or rather...I should say...I'm his fan."

Kevin explained awkwardly, not wanting to admit that his appearance was actually influenced by Ye Changan.

Even though it was just a subconscious memory, it made him yearn for it when he was young.

During the first simulation, he was indeed a fan of Ye Changan.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chang'an. May I ask you something?"

Ye Changan gathered his thoughts and looked at the people rushing over, and asked them questions about their memories.

The answer is no different from before. One day I suddenly realized the deviation between dreams and reality.

Everyone's awareness period is different and there seems to be no common ground.

Ye Changan felt helpless, and Kevin asked back

"You asked us about our memories of you, but what about your memories of us, Chang'an?"

It was Eden's job to confirm Chang'an's identity, but they were more curious about what Ye Chang'an had done.

"About you guys... I'm sorry, I didn't have any contact with you guys back then. I only had contact with Eden and Mobius."

Ye Changan answered selectively, which did not make Kevin and others dissatisfied.

After all, they had no memory of ever having contact with Ye Changan, they had only seen his performances through the media.

What I remember most vividly is, of course, the rhythm during that global live broadcast.

Mobius felt indignant when he recalled the abruptness of that memory, and asked through gritted teeth:

"You guy, is there anything you haven't said yet?"

"A few days after you regained consciousness, I suddenly remembered the Requiem. What was it about? Why was it played at that time? And why did our memories end there?"

She needed an answer, an explanation.

After she reminded them, Kevin and others also remembered the song that made their memories come to an abrupt end.

They all looked at me with doubt.

"Speaking of which, there's the song 'TruE'. It seems like it was written for Alicia, but she doesn't remember anything like that."

Ying spoke calmly, and then the eyes of the group began to wander over Ye Changan and Alicia.

"Hey, do you have any songs written for me? Are they good? Can you let me listen to them?"

Alicia blinked her eyes with curiosity, showing great interest in this.

She really didn't know Ye Changan, and she didn't feel anything after seeing Ye Changan. This topic was the one that aroused her interest the most.

“…I’ll sing it to you later when I have time.”

Ye Changan dampened Alicia's enthusiasm first, and looking at the eyes of Mebius and others who were waiting for explanation, he said thoughtfully:

"Please allow me to explain slowly the last Requiem you heard."

He still planned to make things clear and give Eden an explanation.

Then he started talking about his own background, taking Taixu Mountain as the starting point and coming into contact with the simulation system to carry out the simulation.

He omitted his identity as a time traveler and eliminated the advantage of foresight, and described his life from the perspective of an ordinary person.

"In the end, the simulated time came to an end, and the planet we were on disappeared like a bubble."

"I didn't want to accept this outcome, so I used my power to reshape an entire planet and transferred all of your consciousness to that new world."

"If the End hadn't been there, you would have walked into the future at the original time.

But the appearance of the End reversed and reset the planet, and your memories should have disappeared as a result."

"I don't know the reason for my awakening. After all, I'm no longer in that world."

There is no need to elaborate on what happened next, and talking about things that have nothing to do with them will only affect their judgment.

Kevin and the others frowned in silence, not knowing what to say.

It is hard to accept that the essence of the world is just a bubble in the beginning.

But Mebius had something to say.

"Another such unfounded statement, can you provide some substantial evidence?

For example, let the so-called customer service come out and show us. That person should still be with you."

“…Yes, but the customer service is not the same as before.”

001 lived in Taixu Mountain and did not come with us, but Ling was always by his side.

Although she is in the paradise of the afterlife, Ling can still come out.

So Ye Changan called for a long time before Ling appeared nervously beside him.

Twisting his fingers and lowering his head, he spoke in a mosquito-like voice.

"Sister, and everyone, long time no see."

"…You are, Ling?"

Ying was stunned, and so were Kevin and the others.

I never thought that there would be a day when I would see Ling again.

"Yes, it's me. Sister, I'm sorry, I..."

Ling finally raised her head and apologized to her sister Sakura, wanting to express her apology for losing control and causing Sakura's death.

Even though that was the act of the Herrscher, not her intention.

But her current state is a combination of a Herrscher and a human.

The black box in the second simulation revived her human personality under the processing of 002, and the black box obtained in reality created her body that could walk and move in the world.

She is closely connected to the Herrscher and accepts the mistakes made by the Herrscher.

Apologizing was a decision she had been thinking about for a long time, so she didn't say it from the beginning.

However, before she could finish her apology, Ying hugged her. The sisters were so moved by the reunion.

And that so-called apology is actually not important.

"Mobius, do you believe it now?"

Ye Changan turned to ask, Mobius gave him a fierce look, crossed his arms and said to Ling Nu:

"What's wrong with her? How did she become a customer service representative?"

"I do not know."
