Li Mo stood up suddenly, and the scene of his reunion with Meiyi suddenly flashed through his mind.

It was some time after he had just returned to his true world from the pseudo-human world, and he found the fictional Mei on the beach in Vienna.

The calm expression and calm behavior almost made him recognize the wrong person. At first, he thought that it was the fictional Mei who ate Mei and obtained Mei's memories and behavioral habits.

But the subsequent conversation dispelled this idea.

Fictionally, Mei has no reason to eat Mei, nor does she have the ability to do so unless Mei is willing.

Secondly, the fictional Mei would rather endure the guilt in her heart and conceal the fact that the weirdness of the original world is spreading, and even block her own memory at all costs.

She must know something!

Li Mo walked to the door of the room, then stopped and recalled all the details of the conversation with the fictional Mei in his mind.

"Your world will eventually see the light of day."

……

This sentence... Did she know that she would make a wish and her soul would go to another capricious world?

How did you do it?

"And...Brother, remember, you must remember..."

"Remember we are always on your side. No matter what happens, please trust Dr. Mei. She is always working hard to turn this imperfect story into what you want it to be."

Li Mo opened his eyes and pushed open the door.

Before leaving, he glanced at Mei, who was lying flat on the bed. She had no expression on her face, as if she was asleep...

"I'll figure it all out."

Li Mo closed the door and walked straight towards Mei's room.

Seeing Li Mo coming in, Meiyi subconsciously called out, "Brother."

But gradually, Mei found something wrong. Li Mo's expression was not right, and he didn't say anything more.

The surprise was fleeting. Yes, she had expected this day to come.

"At this point, don't you want to say something? What exactly did you and Mei plan?" Li Mo looked cold.

No anger, no emotions.

He just wanted to know the truth...what did Mei do, why did she choose the path of sacrifice, and why was she unwilling to communicate with him and solve it together.

They... never sat down to talk properly, and just watched each other bid farewell to each other in hatred.

It shouldn't be like this... It shouldn't be like this...

They are obviously... the people who trust each other the most in this world.

"Dr. Mei's plan has been completed, brother, you are free."

"I don't want to continue on with this meaningless issue. I want to know all of Mei's plans."

Meiyi pursed her lips, walked to the cabinet, and took out a mobile phone. She then walked to Li Mo, reached into his clothes, took out a similar phone, and placed it on the cabinet naturally.

The former belongs to Mei, and the latter is what Mei prepared for Li Mo.

"Before I answer that question, I need to ask a question."

"explain."

"Brother, you're not from this world, right? What I mean is—brother shouldn't exist in any collapsed world, let alone be from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers."

"..."

Li Mo was speechless. He was a time traveler.

This identity was so old that he himself was almost forgetting it.

I was immersed in supernatural events day and night, and only when I began to associate the differences between the original plot and reality did I briefly realize that I was not a local.

But he never told anyone about this, at least not Mei.

If he inherited Mei's memory and wisdom, it wouldn't be difficult to guess.

"Yes." Li Mo admitted frankly.

"How is my brother's world?"

"That's not important. I don't think it has anything to do with the truth I want to know."

Li Mo forced the topic to end. Rather than talking about his past, he was more concerned about the reason why Mei did this.

Seeing this, Mei no longer concealed it and made a wish, creating many railroad tracks and trains, and placed them in her hands.

There are many different railroad tracks at the starting point, but there is only one railroad track that can reach the destination.

Trains are running on the rails, but only one train can reach the final destination. As for the others, they lose the rails and the road ahead, and fall to the ground with a clang, smashing to pieces.

No exceptions.

Mei made another "wish" to replace the railway tracks without subsequent roads with bumpy and rugged gravel road models.

The train started from the starting point again, and the only destined train still arrived at the destination smoothly.

But the other trains were not so lucky. They ran smoothly on the original tracks, but on the gravel road without tracks, it became extremely difficult to move forward.

Without the support and guidance of the rails, the trains' movement became extremely difficult. They began to bump along the gravel road, and every vibration seemed to penetrate the carriages.

The car body was no longer as stable as before, and it was like a small boat on the rough sea. The wheels slipped on the stones, making a sharp friction sound that was heart-wrenching.

Despite the bumpy process, the result was not too bad. Like the only destined train, it arrived at the end of the journey.

Li Mo looked at the little experiment that Meiyi deliberately demonstrated after she "made a wish", and thought of the previous question about whether he was a local, and suddenly realized something.

"Brother, is fate fair?" Mei asked, staring ahead with a complex light in her eyes.

“For individuals, fate has always been unfair.”

"Yes, isn't our world just an insignificant individual in relation to the entire Tree of Imaginary Numbers?"

Mei lowered her eyes, and her slender fingers grabbed the tattered trains and put them back to the starting point one by one.

Once again, I witnessed the trains departing one after another, passing through the stable first half of the tracks, and then shaking, swaying and bumping in the second half.

Parts fell to the ground one by one, no one cared, no one picked them up.

Life is nothing but a box within a box.

“The world we live in is like one of these junky trains that wasn’t chosen. It only has the beginning, and then for various reasons it will fall off a cliff and never return.”

"The only place you can reach the end is the world you know, brother. It's a beautiful world where hard work is rewarded, and the protagonists of that world can shout: Fight for all that is beautiful in the world. Create a peaceful and tranquil world through their own efforts."

"But that is the only one. Apart from that one, all other worlds will collapse. This is the predetermined outcome. No matter how it happens, no matter how many people sacrifice their lives or how many miraculous people try to change fate, it cannot be saved from its inevitable collapse."

"Because they are not the 'protagonists', they have no future. No matter how beautiful the beginning is, they will inevitably end in extinction."

Mei's voice grew deeper and deeper, her eyes dimming.

As they were talking, the dilapidated train arrived at its destination again, and Mei put it back to the starting point again.

Li Mo simply summarized what Mei said and recounted: "So, the weird worlds were originally tragic worlds that were about to be destroyed. Only the beautiful main storyline world can continue."

"The weirdness is like forcibly paving a road. Although it is bumpy, it continues the destiny left vacant later. If the weirdness disappears, then all worlds except the main storyline world will be destroyed, regardless of whether they are beautiful or tragic."

Mei nodded and made another "wish", creating Kiana and Guiqi's photo stickers. She first pasted Kiana's photo sticker on the dilapidated train, and then erased the gravel road.

The train ran smoothly until the tracks disappeared in front of it. At the moment when the train was about to fall, Li Mo took action.

Li Mo also "made a wish" and created rails exactly like the ones under the Destiny Train.

"Brother, you are cheating. Monsters are not as peaceful as humans."

"I just……"

"I just don't want to see the people I love get hurt, I don't want to see the people close to me fall into despair, and I don't want to see ordinary people die powerlessly because of tragedy." Mei emphasized the word "tragedy". "Everyone feels the same way, and it's precisely because everyone feels the same way... Even if it means death, we must take the right to die into our own hands."

"It's not that we can't accept death, but we hope to die with more meaning. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we want to hold our destiny firmly in our own hands."

"Fate cuts off our right to choose, favoring only one beautiful world..."

"That's not fair."

Mei clenched her fists and showed a look of disgust for the first time.

After calming down, Mei subconsciously reached out and touched the air in front of her eyes. She shrugged without touching anything, smiled silently, and put down her hand awkwardly.

"Sorry, brother, I lost my composure."

"The truth is, Dr. Mei knows you're a very pure person. She likes your purity and doesn't want to taint it."

"You should have noticed something yourself. Although your memory is clear, you occasionally get time wrong, mistaking the past for the present and the present for the past. This situation is multiplied a hundred or a thousand times under the influence of strange laws."

"You can imagine, if you continue to carry out missions and deal with strange things in this state, what are your chances of survival?"

Li Mo fell silent, his eyes drooping as he stared blankly at the shabby train and the only intact Destiny train. He clenched his fists and whispered, "You and Mei should have told me earlier."

Mei retorted in a resounding voice: "Before I answer this question, brother, answer me first. If you knew the truth, what would you choose?"

"Watching Mei sacrifice herself to Weirdness? In exchange for maintaining your consciousness and immortality for another five hundred years, can you do it?"

"I..." Li Mo was about to speak when he was interrupted by Meiyi.

This was the first time that Meiyi decisively interrupted Li Mo's speech. She abandoned her weakness and let the emotions in her head control her body.

"You can't do it. If you knew the truth, you would only fight harder, encounter more dangerous and terrifying weirdness, try your best, and risk your life to change this outcome without sacrificing Dr. Mei."

"Your severely polluted soul no longer supports your risk-taking. If you want to change everything on your own, only death awaits you."

"Dr. Mei has revealed a little bit of her plan to you countless times. She's very scared, very scared. But she has to pretend because you're so perceptive, and she has to pretend to be fearless."

"Enduring bizarre torture, suffering in pain day after day, the real purpose has never been to allow the bizarreness to continue."

"She just wanted to save you. You were so exhausted, and she didn't want you to wallow in regret and sadness. It's easier to accept resentment than to blame yourself for your own inability to do anything, and hate others, just like the fury you showed after learning the tip of the iceberg of her plan."

"Both paths lead to despair. She said that rather than letting you go forward alone and bear all the burdens, it would be better for her to shoulder some of the despair. As a rational scholar, she won't confess her love, nor will she be able to stay by your side forever like other girls, offering you endless romance. The only thing she can do is choose the method she believes is right to realize your vision and help you complete your destiny."

"the reason is simple……"

"She loves you."

"That's all."

"There is no other reason than this."

"Now, for the next five hundred years, no strange power can interfere with your memory, consciousness, or soul. Any laws that affect you will be rendered meaningless. Furthermore, one of the original laws bestowed upon you by the strange source is immortality. This allows you to use any strange power without any cost."

"But beware. Some 'wishes' don't cost you anything; others will. The past has been truncated, and you can't go back. Even if the 'wishing' Dr. Mei were to awaken, it wouldn't be the real Mei that revived."

Mei seemed to know all of Li Mo's plans and announced many things in advance.

Of course, if the wisher no longer bears the cost, then the target of the wish will pay a heavier price.

Resurrection of the dead is an absolute taboo. All current resurrection methods will force the other party to bear a price, and the wisher must pay with his own life.

Now that Li Mo himself no longer bears the cost of "making a wish", the person making the wish must bear double the cost.

It is possible to "make a wish" for Mei to be resurrected, but after resurrection, you may only get a soulless empty shell or a terrifying monster.

Even if you "wish" for your soul to return, you will most likely only see the soul return to the body for a few seconds before it completely disappears in the universe.

Did the "wish" come true? Of course it did, but what's the point?

The dead will never come back...

Chapter 11 Little Irene

In this case, if you ask Weird for a gift, Weird will ask for two prices.

When dealing with the weird, humans will never be able to gain the upper hand.

"Thank you for telling me this."

"You're welcome. After all, I inherited all of Dr. Mei's memories, consciousness, and behavioral patterns... I also inherited the wishes and desires of the previous fictional Mei. I have no problem analyzing this."

"..."

Yes, going back in time cannot change everything.

For example, the fictional Mei who had given him the "wish" was already dead, and he couldn't save her even if he went back to the past.
