Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

Mei took out a small brown bottle from her pocket. It had no label or instructions. She casually took out two pills from it and swallowed them.

The bitter taste did not change her expression; she was used to it.

Shigure Kirara shrugged her shoulders and smiled helplessly, but her expression was still cheerful and lively.

"Don't worry, with the aid of the instruments, we won't go astray. We had no problems last time. Practice makes perfect. This time, getting through the strange cave will only be smoother than last time."

Shigure Kirara looked very confident. Mei narrowed her eyes slightly and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something to this clueless girl.

"Calculating the time, there are still two months of regular time." Mei said without warning. Her voice was very low, but Shigure Kirara still heard it.

"Senior Mei? What are you talking about? What is the original time?" Shigure Qiluo asked.

Mei hesitated for two seconds, then walked out of the shadows and went straight to Shigure Kirara, looking at her slightly bulging belly.

"You're pregnant. From a secular perspective, you shouldn't be traveling too much. This applies to both you and Li Mo."

"Of course, humans always regret choices they make. There are no absolutely correct choices. I won't object, nor will I stop any of your actions. I will pay the price for my indulgence, and you, and everyone else, will bear the consequences of your free will."

"But before you go, I want to ask why?"

"Why give up a chance to rest and take care of your baby and return to your own world? You'll definitely have a lot of things to deal with when you return, and the Destiny Bishop of that world won't let you relax so easily."

Having personally experienced all sorts of supernatural events, Otto Apokalis must have been very anxious.

Uncontrollable variables appeared in the plan, so Shigure Kirara was definitely questioned and asked a lot of things.

At least I can't take a vacation before giving birth.

After hearing Mei's doubts, Shigure Qiluo raised her head. Her white and tender fingers looked particularly translucent under the sunlight. She pressed them against her lips and let out a slight groan from her throat.

"emmm..."

"Senior Mei, what do you think love is? Is it when two people become one, you are me and I am you? I am the universe, the universe is me. You are merely an extension of my life, not an independent individual."

"Or do two people in love have to give up themselves for each other and constantly try to become what the other person needs most?"

Mei shook her head. "Unfortunately, I haven't done much research on this topic, so I can't give you a correct answer."

"I don't know what love is, nor do I know how to truly love someone. I just apply existing formulas and add a little selfishness to help the person I love."

"No matter the consequences, no matter the cost."

"All the morals and rules of the world can be blindly trampled upon until I achieve my goal and help the other person realize their wish, even if... they don't appreciate it, or even bear a grudge against me, swinging their angry blade at my neck and easily chopping it off."

Mei said firmly.

Shigure Qiluo curled the corners of her mouth. As expected, geniuses and lunatics think differently from normal people.

"Uh...Senior Mei, you seem a bit extreme."

Mei didn't deny it, but asked, "What about you? What's your understanding?"

Shigure Qiluo walked to the window and leaned her hands against it.

Although Changkong City is in ruins, Shigure Qiluo still recalls the prosperous city of the past, which was bustling with activity and brightly lit.

Such stars can only play supporting roles, and the world is the stage for singers.

The more than ten years of leisure time after my rebirth are still vivid in my mind, with companionship, busyness and chasing dreams.

For more than ten years, I have been exhausted every day, with little free time. I am either busy or on my way to work.

It only ended the day I fell into the sea.

But... in this dark world, there will always be someone who lights a light and comes to her side. She had originally given up...

Thinking of this, Shi Yu Qiluo couldn't help but smile sweetly.

"It's about fulfillment, about letting you be you and me being me."

"That's an interesting insight," Mei said, becoming interested. "I'd love to hear more about it."

Shi Yu Qiluo smiled awkwardly and touched the sky-blue hair hanging down from her temples. Someone had praised her over and over again.

"It's just my understanding when I have some free time, and... I only realized this after seeing your daily life."

Shi Yu Qiluo did not lie. She did not have this feeling at first. It was only when she learned about the lives of other family members from Paduo, Mei, and Li Mo that she suddenly realized it.

"Initially, I planned to stay home until the baby was born and learn to be a good wife."

"Day after day, I eagerly awaited my husband's return. I would cook sumptuous meals for him, serve him his favorite drinks, massage his shoulders, and listen to him tell all sorts of bizarre and thrilling stories from his journeys. Sometimes, I would be so frightened that I would tremble. Then, with no expression on his face, he would gently hold me in his arms and swear to protect me..."

"In this way, I have truly fulfilled my duties as a wife. What I need to do is also very simple. I just need to temporarily give up my duties as a Valkyrie and my dream of becoming an idol."

"In fact, I also helped Li Mo save many people, so I didn't live up to the name of Valkyrie."

"But is that really love?"

Shigure Kirara's words suddenly became sharp.

"I don't think so."

"In that peaceful and tranquil world during the haunted house incident, I wanted Li Mo to stop taking risks and just live a beautiful and happy life, never touching anything related to the weird again..."

"To be honest... I found that after Li Mo listened to me for a while, I wasn't as happy as I thought. Instead, I felt a sense of emptiness inside. Li Mo became incomplete, incomplete, and... not as attractive to me as before."

"Countless nights, I repeatedly questioned myself—why? I asked many people tactfully, and their answers varied, but none of them got to the point."

"It's like: once you've got something, you don't cherish it; because you've already been spiritually satisfied, you should rest for a while; people always desire what they don't have."

"Although this is the truth, it is not the answer I want. Until the day Li Mo died of illness, I still didn't understand it..."

Shi Yu Qiluo spoke in a low voice, like a child who had done something wrong. She lowered her head, clenched her pink fists, and blamed herself for being stupid.

Mei adjusted the frame of her glasses.

Li Mo has mentioned this information.

After Li Mo's first death in the haunted house incident, he was suspected to have returned to the haunted house world timeline more than ten years ago, and spent a relatively happy and peaceful life with Shi Yu Qiluo.

Because his body reached its limit and he died, he entered the other world and solved the mystery of the haunted house before completing the ritual. Finally, he used the high value of Guiqi to help himself save Shigure Kirara.

Mei didn't know that during that time, Li Mo's emotions and rationality were separated with the help of Xi'er Fuleai, and the emotional Li Mo might indeed choose to escape.

But when he came back, rationality also returned.

Come to think of it, if rationality can really fully use its own laws, then it should know that allowing oneself to be consumed by emotion is the only chance to "eliminate" those laws.

Keep the law of "destroying the weird" hidden deep in your soul forever.

"And then?" Mei asked.

Shigure Kirara smiled bitterly and loosened her clenched fists.

"My brain isn't as smart as yours, so I couldn't figure it out. It took me a while to get to know you."

“Living things are most charming only when they have freedom.”

"I asked him to follow my ideas and avoid contact with the weird. Living an ordinary married life like ordinary people is like killing Li Mo's vitality."

"But he has that ability!"

Shigure Kirara said excitedly, her ice-blue eyes sparkling with light, like a prism illuminated by the warm sun in winter.

"He can bring hope to many people like me, and he can step onto a bigger stage to show his difference and uniqueness!"

"He shouldn't become more and more ordinary, and he shouldn't give up what he really wants to do just to be with me."

"I love him……"

"But precisely because of this love, I don't want him to take risks."

"If he doesn't take risks, he won't become the Li Mo I love."

"I am the one who should change. I should give him freedom, and I will also do my best to take back my freedom. Only then will I be worthy of him."

"Self-righteous sacrifice is not love!"

"Clang-"

The bottle fell out of Mei's pocket. Mei was stunned for a long time before she bent down to pick it up and put it back in her pocket.

Unlike in the past when he would always analyze the essence of others' passionate speeches, this time he was unexpectedly quiet.

If Li Mo was there, he would definitely notice it immediately. However, Shi Yu Qiluo didn't feel anything unusual because she had not spent much time with Mei.

She looked at the distant star burning outside the window with confidence. Perhaps one day, this bright star would also fall.

But before that, it had indeed illuminated many people and brought warm light.

"From today on, when she returns to her own world, the pregnant idol singer Qi Luoxing makes her grand debut!"

"I want to become the best Valkyrie!"

"Hehe, of course, I will never let my fans know about 'that'~~ Otherwise, what if an extreme fan comes to me with a knife and I accidentally punch him into the wall?"

Mei: “…”

"Ah."

Mei said "hmm" and nothing else.

Shi Yu Qiluo hummed a little tune and said her final greeting to Mei: "Dr. Mei, do you want me to bring you a gift next time we meet?"

"No need." Mei said softly.

After packing her luggage, Shigure Qiluo left the dilapidated Changkong City.

After watching Shigure Qiluo leave with her luggage, Mei returned to her bedroom, opened a file on her computer, and couldn't help muttering to herself while typing.

"Repeatedly passing through the strange cave will only infect you with the strange aura and make you become entangled with the strangeness again."

"But anyone or anything connected to the weird, even gods, will become unfortunate and eventually degenerate into a nonsensical existence."

"Shigure Kirara..."

Mei stared at Shi Yu Qi Luo's photo and experience in the file.

"You are lucky and unlucky."

Mei murmured.

She is the first person, and the first person Mei has found in all the experimental data, who has broken free from all the strange threads on her body.

These threads did not disappear, but were transferred to Li Mo through extremely special means.

But it is undeniable that she did cut the strange thread the moment she was reborn as a living person.

"After time went back, you were just a vehicle for Guiqi's arrival. I haven't considered the possibility of you surviving..."

"But since you've survived and become Li Mo's wife, you should love him in your own way."

"After all... no one here has that ability."

Sooner or later, Alicia will collapse from the excessive pollution;

Paddo, who lost control due to Alicia's breakdown;

Mei and Hana, who attracted jealousy by displaying too much affection;

And myself who, because of a pathetic wish...

"Stay awake... I will remember this feeling, even if everyone else forgets it. I don't know if this feeling will be useful, but even if there's even the slightest possibility... I must 'remember' it."

Mei shook her head and took a few more pills to keep her mind as clear as possible.

She had no concept of sleep anymore and had to finish His ritual faster and faster.

The fantasy ghost helped her, but it wasn't enough, it was still a little short...

"It's the souls that walk in the Soul Crossing Channel, so the strange threads won't entangle the souls, at least not superficially. People like Li Mo probably have their souls already riddled with holes. Even if they follow Shi Yu Qiluo's process a million times, they still won't be able to escape."

"Shiller Freya, the notebook said she would come to find me. Besides Shiller Freya, there are still three sentient monsters missing."

"The notebook predicts that after two missions, we'll get three sentient creatures. This means—this time, or next time, at least two more self-aware creatures will be brought back. I have to be fully prepared."

"Mei needs a little training. Wishing can bring about miracles that I cannot, to a certain extent."

"Although he's a bit of a coward, if he can make a wish and do that, he'll be able to take my place."

"hiss.."

Mei stopped tapping the keyboard, and her fingers subconsciously retracted. The blood flowing on the keyboard was close to pitch black, with only a slight bright red.

The sunlight shines in, and the wound on the finger is visible flickering.

It's like paper being cut by a knife, neat and perfect.
