I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

“…It’s all over.”

However, at this moment, Christen actually responded to Saria's voice, and when Saria was in a trance, before everyone could react, Saria felt the space and time around her distorted.

However, this was not some kind of spatial destruction... After hearing all this, Xi simply sent Saria to the time and space where Christen was, almost subconsciously.

Obviously, even Xi couldn't see all of her paintings at once. After Saria was teleported into the space where Christen was, she felt dazed and arrived at where Christen was.

This is the end of the corridor, and it is also the place where John met Xiaoxi again in his memory and invited her to go to the movies.

And Saria had just been teleported here, and the screen changed from being completely blank to a state where everything could be seen clearly.

And what everyone just saw was the direction that the translucent Christen was looking at, and... the news about Alina's childhood, being pulled away by several strange figures.

Xiaoxi resisted at first, but was eventually forcibly taken away from the scene by several people. Seeing this scene, Saria and everyone outside the screen felt their hearts being clenched.

"What did you do to her?!" Saria rushed up immediately, but Christen was silent for a moment and answered with his eyes closed:

"…I just made sure that she wouldn't meet John again during this period."

"John won't meet the stream again. I can guarantee that. Now... he can go to the moon without any worries."

However, Christen's words, as plain as water, made Saria fall into a deep silence. At this moment, the atmosphere inside and outside the screen was extremely depressing. Everyone's heart seemed to be crushed, and they couldn't say a word for a long time.

All this until Saria took a deep breath. She turned silently and looked at Kristen. There was no anger in her tone... but fatigue from all the failures.

"You know, it's one thing to force me to do something I don't want to do."

"…But this time, it's too much."

"...I'm sorry, I just don't want us to accomplish anything." Christen still closed her eyes and turned away silently. She didn't look directly at Saria's eyes at the moment, but just lowered her head and replied:

"Now, there is only one thing we need to do..."

Having said this, Christen silently continued to operate the machine. Her figure left the scene. She was going to activate the memory overwrite and change all of John's memories.

And Saria did not leave with Christen. She just stood there silently, unwilling to leave for a long time...

"Hey? What are you doing? Stop pushing me!"

It was not until a childish voice sounded behind Saria that Saria and the people outside the screen reacted.

Saria slowly turned around and found that the childhood John played by Chen Qi had been pushed here by his good friend Nicholas. After a slight hesitation, he gathered his strength and spoke to the original location of the stream:

"Um, hello—"

However, as the camera moved, the place where John first invited Xinxi to watch a movie...the girl was no longer there.

The girl was no longer on the empty staircase. At this moment, the sound of a piano quietly began to interrupt, causing ripples in the hearts of the people who had been able to remain calm.

The sound of the piano is like gently brushing against the softest part of everyone's heart. The movement is so light... but it can make people feel so heartbroken that they can't help themselves...

In the work "To the Moon", "Everything's right", the only interlude with lyrics, gave all the people with heavy hearts the perfect final blow at the right time, achieving an effect beyond the song itself, and amplifying everyone's mood at the moment countless times.

This song is so slow, and the female voice is so soft, but at this moment it can touch everyone's heart more than any other song.

"…I'm sorry, kid."

At this moment, Saria stood beside Chen Qi, slowly raised her head, as if trying hard not to let her tears fall... Her words were full of exhaustion of not being able to change anything, and self-blame for not being able to change anything.

“…Everything has already begun.”

As Saria's voice fell, the space around Saria twisted. When she came to her senses, Chen Qi's figure had quietly disappeared.

Instead, there were children laughing and playing in front of her. Saria saw John, Nicholas... and John's brother, "Joey", who was supposed to be dead.

However, with the return of the brothers and the warm scene now, no one is happy, and no one is happy about Joey's resurrection.

Because they all knew that the price of all this... was the disappearance of a girl.

A girl who should have been indispensable in the boy's life has gradually disappeared from his life.

Christen, who changed all this, slowly walked to the side of Saria, who remained silent. She watched the scene for a long time before she said in a low voice:

"...He could always find another 'Creek', but he only has one brother."

"—Fuck you, Kristen."

However, as soon as Christen said this, Muerseth outside the screen had already burst into tears without a word. Even though one of her water clones was already crying like her, it was still not enough to stop Muerseth from crying.

And it wasn't just her, but also Tallulah, Frost Star, and even Nian... At this moment, no matter if they were filming or watching, everyone was crying because of the disappearance of a girl, a girl who was so important to that boy.

This girl, no matter who you give her or what kind of life you give her, can never be replaced... Everyone understands this.

Therefore, even as a die-hard fan of Christen, when he heard Christen using such an excuse to exonerate himself, even Muirseth couldn't help but swear. He simply couldn't accept such a statement.

"I don't care about Joey, I want the creek... John is all alone now."

"He couldn't find another creek... His brother didn't accompany John throughout his life, but the creek did..."

"Give the creek back to him, you bitch..."

Muirseth burst into tears. Her emotions were so turbulent that she even lost all her manners as a scientific researcher. She swore one after another, but no matter how she wiped away her tears, she couldn't stop the pain in her heart.

And people like Muir Seth are everywhere in this picture. For a moment, crying, suppressed wailing, and crying and cursing sounded one after another, but no one made a noise. Everyone strongly suppressed their emotions, but could not stand the crazy inclination of their emotional side.

At this moment, Xi, who had witnessed all this and couldn't help but shed tears, heard Chen Qi's communication again. At this moment, Chen Qi's communication only had a short sentence:

"Xi, please present the paintings I asked you to prepare."

"...You are a bastard, Chen Qi, a heartless bastard."

The moment Xi received the call, she cursed Chen Qi harshly in more blunt language than ever before. Only now did she know what the scrolls without the creek were used for which Chen Qi asked her to prepare.

The ending had already been hinted at. Xi thought she had a strong enough endurance, but now she was just barely holding back her tears.

As Xi swung the giant sword in her hand again, finally, all the scenes she had prepared, representing John's new life, were presented in front of everyone. This story was about to reach its end...

Chapter 193: The End of To the Moon: Going to the Moon for You

Under Xi's actions, John's life without Xiaoxi began to slowly appear in front of everyone.

This time, the flashback at the beginning of the movie "To the Moon" finally returned to normal. With the sound of music, everyone saw what John's reset life looked like without Creek and with Joey...

That was the cinema that John and Xiaoxi went to together. Xiaoxi's figure completely disappeared, and instead, John, Joey and Nicholas were watching a movie together happily.

In the cinema, the spot that originally belonged to the stream, after a flash, the girl was no longer there... Even the platypus that had always been by her side disappeared.

John did not use horse riding to cure Xiaoxi's illness. Without Xiaoxi, there was no need for him to learn horse riding. He just sat in the car and watched others happily riding camels.

In class, the teacher asked each student about their future dreams. When Joey answered that he wanted to be a writer and the other students answered various professions, the teacher asked John:

"And you, John?"

However, after a long silence, John, who had no trace of Xiaoxi in his life and had not taken a large amount of blockers because of his brother's resurrection, said slowly but firmly:

“…I want to go to the moon.”

This answer once again moved everyone outside the screen, and the sounds of suppressed crying echoed in the picture.

This girl no longer exists in John's life, but relying only on some childhood memories, he still knows that he needs to go to the appointment... Going to the moon to see this girl has become his only motivation to go to the moon.

Slowly, John's life and all the memories related to the creek were changed. He no longer had any past with the creek. He only remembered that he wanted to go to the moon, and he worked hard alone to achieve it.

He studied alone, exercised alone... Finally, when he was young, he submitted his resume that he had prepared for a long time. He was rejected several times, but he did not give up and repeated the process again and again...

For the sake of this promise, he went through wind and rain just to reach the moon.

Eventually, his brother Joey really did become a great writer, and at a book signing, John received a call—he had finally been hired.

At that moment, Joey, Nicholas, and everyone else were sincerely happy for John. Only the audience outside the screen were still crying, wanting to applaud but unable to laugh.

Finally, after the song ended, all the audience seemed to slowly accept the fact and their moods calmed down a little. John, played by Chen Qi, came to a company as the camera moved, and the company name written on it once again attracted everyone's attention.

"——Rhine Life Aerospace Department...?"

"He did it, but does it all... still make sense?"

The figures of Saria and Christen appeared on the screen again. Facing the building of this department that Rhine Life did not have at all, Saria seemed to be in a better mood. Christen, who had been silent all the time, could not help but speak:

"Anyway, we succeeded, didn't we?"

"...This is not considered a success." Saria answered sullenly, and after looking at Chen Qi who had successfully entered the Rhine Life Aerospace Department, Saria said with emotion after a long while:

"How pathetic... all the difficulties are directed against that girl."

Saria's sigh won the nods of many silent people. They all knew that Saria was sighing for Xiaoxi. She had paid so much, but in the end, she got such an ending...

The life of John, played by Chen Qi, seems to be very good now. He has finally realized his dream, with struggle, hard work and rewards... There is no doubt that this is a perfect dream.

...If none of them knew about the girl, this would definitely be the dream that everyone wanted.

"Well, we are in the Rhine Life Aerospace Department now, so cheer up."

"……yes."

With Christen's comfort, Saria answered sullenly. However, Saria, who was in a low mood at the moment, did not notice that now that she was finally going to witness this final scene...she was not as happy as she looked.

The two followed Chen Qi's footsteps and visited the so-called Aerospace Department, which did not exist in reality and could only be seen in the scroll based on Chen Qi's "imagination" and Xi's paintings. What exactly was the structure?

If it were in the past, both Saria and Kristen would probably look around curiously, but now neither girl was in the mood. Kristen wanted to stop several times, but it didn't last long, so she lowered her head and continued to move forward silently.

"...I don't know if this place looks like a real aerospace department." Christen seemed to be in a better mood after visiting the place, and Saria shook her head and replied:

"I don't know. Maybe he just imagined it... But you're right. At least you let him fulfill his dream. But it's just a dream."

Saria's voice fell, and now, the familiar heartbeat sounded again, and the light around began to dim... This meant that John's life was about to come to an end.

However, when everyone thought that all this was going to end, the sudden sound of a mechanical door opening attracted everyone's attention.

For a moment, the hearts of Saria, Kristen, Chen Qi, and everyone outside the screen were tightly gripped. Along with the sound of footsteps, a familiar figure slowly walked towards the camera.

The moment they saw that pretty figure, everyone's pupils shrank slightly, and many incredulous glances were directed at her.

"Ah, this is our new recruit." The person who brought John, played by Chen Qi, to visit also introduced this girl to everyone, saying:

"Xiaoxi, huh? It's nice to have you here."

The familiar Alina plays Xiaoxi, who seems to have not changed at all, still taciturn and still so quiet.

When everyone was stunned, Alina had already walked in front of Chen Qi. After a brief silence, Chen Qi took the initiative to greet her, just like in childhood:

"Hi, I'm John."

"——I didn't expect this could actually be successful."

However, even Christen was somewhat surprised to see such a scene. Her eyes were dull and full of disbelief, as if she was so surprised that the two of them could still meet.

Even though Saria knew the plot, she still found it extremely unbelievable that the two of them could still meet as planned. She immediately looked at Christen in surprise, and shouted with a hint of surprise and a little joy in her tone:

"You, you didn't delete her?!"

"...I didn't erase her existence. If even the existence of the stream disappeared, John's motivation to 'go to the moon' would disappear." Christen slowly came back to her senses, looking at the two people who met again. Her eyes flashed with a crystal light, and she murmured to herself:

"I erased Xiaoxi's presence in John's life, except for all his childhood experiences... She can still appear here now... Then there is only one possibility."

"…It was John who wanted to believe that they would really meet on the moon in the future. It was him who always believed that Xiaoxi would definitely appear in his life."

Saria slowly took over Kristen's words. The two girls looked at the two people who met again. After a long time, a faint smile appeared on their faces again.

Saria was very happy that the ending of everything could be just like the script at the beginning - what Kristen did was different from the female doctor in the script, and it was a little bit more excessive... After all, Kristen didn't quite believe that the two of them could meet under such circumstances.

She didn't have high expectations, but the meeting between the two seemed to fill Christen's heart with a long-lost joy...although it was very faint, it was enough to make her smile sincerely.

At the same time, many people outside the screen also laughed along with them. The moment they saw the two meet again, everyone showed tears of joy.

On the screen, the content of the scroll changed again. This time, the familiar "For River" that runs through the entire work was played again. After the screen returned to normal, everyone saw that John, played by Chen Qi, was already sitting at the piano, playing this song.

In the distance, Xiaoxi, played by Alina, listened to the song silently. After a long time, she took the initiative to ask the person next to her: "What is the name of this song?"

“——To the Moon.”

“…I like this name.”

Same music, different names, but when Alina's character Xiaoxi gave a completely different answer, many people couldn't help but smile from the bottom of their hearts.

"forriver...tothemoon. 'To the moon for you'."

"Is this the complete name of this song..."

Muirseth, who had figured it all out, had unknowingly created many water clones. He managed to control his tears with great difficulty, but he still couldn't help but hear the name of the song and almost cried again.

Beside her, everyone had already burst into tears... The scenes on the screen showed John and Xiaoxi's new relationship, and finally... the realization of their dreams.

Saria and Christen finally witnessed the last spaceship flying into the starry sky. The spaceship slowly ascended into the sky, but none of them recorded anything. They just looked up together in the last scroll, gazing at the scenery that they had never seen before and could only be seen in the scroll.

Finally, in the last scroll, Christen, Saria... and everyone else saw the moment when the spacecraft broke through the barrier. They had never seen the distant view of the land under their feet... It seemed to be a spherical existence.
