I already said this is not a life simulator!

Mei: If you are really worried, why don’t you come and verify it yourself next time you have a break?

Kevin: ...Okay.

"what……"

Seeing the brief and straightforward reply from her lover on the terminal, Mei couldn't help but smile. The happiness and joy on her face would probably make many people drop their jaws.

After all, this kind of emotion is too rare to see in Mei.

But soon, she retracted her smile, paused slightly, and fell into a brief "thought".

Then, he called up a new communication again and sent some data and files to Weiwei.

After doing all this, Mei frowned and stayed there for a while, as if she had gone over her thoughts again in her mind, and then she took another step and walked quickly towards her laboratory.

"……oh?"

On the other side, Wei Wei, who was staying in her workshop, raised her eyebrows and looked at the message sent by Mei.

"'Paraphilis's physical data report'? Oh, you want me to help her prepare a report, right? That's easy, let me take a look... hm?"

Wei Li immediately understood what Mei meant, casually clicked on the report, and began to read the data inside...but in the middle of the reading, Wei Li frowned in confusion.

Although the data in this report was correct, the overall look was very strange. Some places were not aligned, and there were even a few places where a space was deliberately left blank, making the entire report look not "beautiful" at all. This was a "mistake" that should not exist for a person like Mei.

Moreover, the comments and speculations at the end, the part about Mei, are somewhat strange... Although I didn't find any problems after a cursory reading, and even if I carefully reviewed the sentences, I didn't find any grammatical errors or the like...

But Weiwei just had a strange feeling, as if... there was another meaning hidden in it.

It seems that this report contains a piece of "encrypted text".

"...Interesting, Dr. Mei, have you discovered anything new? To the point where you have to use this encrypted method to transmit messages?"

Weiwei subconsciously became alert and began to try to translate the secret code.

"……what?"

However, after the translation, Velvi was surprised, even stunned... To be honest, after receiving the "last memory" through the "Stone of Origin", it was difficult for anything to surprise her.

But the current news still surprised her a little...

“Haaa… [Brother] ah [Brother], you really don’t want me to live…”

Weiwei was slightly amused, and whispered to herself with some bitterness.

"In this case, wouldn't people's chances of winning be zero?"

"...Oh no, it was already zero the moment you decided to do this."

"Then why do you still do this? If you are discovered in advance, won't you be doomed?"

"Or...ah...I see."

Wei Erwei suddenly thought of something, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised with a hint of excitement.

"It will only be revealed when the curtain falls, right?"

"In that case, the only problem left is... Alicia?"

"No, no, no... In the end, Alicia shouldn't be a problem. After all, if that were the case, Alicia probably wouldn't be able to do it..."

"Oh my... You really are getting worse and worse, Brother."

"But... this is not bad~"

"........."

"Also..."

Wei Wei was silent for a while, and then she lay down on her desk, pushed away the pile of parts on her desk, pressed her upper body onto the desk, buried her head, and used the small space supported by the softness of her chest to breathe, and spoke in a muffled voice.

"When will you come to pick me up..."

"My parents are getting less and less mentally fit... I want them to relax a little..."

"If this continues, I will have to open the business myself..."

Weiwei muttered with a hint of complaint.

“Really? They took that old woman Mobius away, and then they took Eden away, and even took Grayshuin away… The only one you’re familiar with is Sakura, and Aponia and Elene who are half of you…”

"Wow... I won't be the last one, will I? That would be too bad!"

"I was the first one here! I remember my brother was also the first one here!"

"Damn it! Why on earth did it turn out like this!?"

Wei Wei waved her fists in the air in the workshop where she was alone, wantonly venting her emotions... No one knew anyway, so she might as well be casual.

This resentment is just growing stronger and stronger... After a while, I'm afraid that people outside will be able to sense it~

Chapter 5082 You're Crazy ()

"So, how does it feel, Kosmo?"

Xiwang floated in the air, occasionally reaching out to touch the palm of Skadi's hand as she swam happily beside him, making her show a somewhat happy expression... This seemed to be some kind of little game between them, as if it could remind Skadi of the scene when they first met.

At that time, Skadi was still a nameless and ordinary Honkai beast, a killer whale infected by Honkai... and even just an inconspicuous one among the many children of the "mother". Apart from being relatively strong and "smart", there was nothing special about her.

At that time, Xi Wang was just a person who clung to his identity and was determined to return to the land, and even his mind had fallen into a semi-crazy state...?

Ha...if you take a quick look back at the "past", you will find that everything has changed a lot.

"What else do you want me to answer?"

However, in response to Xiwang's gentle questioning and facing the gentle smile on Xiwang's face that seemed to have never changed, Kosmo simply responded with a blank expression.

His appearance had not changed much at this time. Apart from the horn-shaped part growing on his head, there was only a pair of fin-like things behind his ears. At the same time, there was a thin line like a blood vessel hanging down from his neck, at the end of which was tied the pendant given to him by Xi Wang. Among his dark-colored "clothing" that looked like clothes but was actually a "shell", the pendant was particularly conspicuous.

"This is all you wanted, isn't it...Xiwang?"

Kosmo paused for a long time before he squeezed out his name through his teeth with a conflicted emotion.

Even though he was half-forced to accept his own "past" and learned about Xiwang's true identity and knew that he was the "Herrser", Kosmo still couldn't bear to call Xiwang "Herrser".

Just like he was unwilling to regard Alicia as a "Herrser" after knowing that she was a "Herrser", facing Alicia who tried her best to help mankind, Kosmo was unwilling to call her a "Herrser" and regard her as an enemy of mankind... Kosmo was also unwilling to do so when facing Xiwang.

However, all the things that happened in the "past" made it difficult for him to make a decision, especially the "first time". The hatred and hostility that Xiwang showed towards mankind was so heavy that it made people feel particularly frightened. And the "second time" was about his indifference to everything in the world. He was like a bystander, indifferent to all the tragedies in the world, and even promoted some tragic endings in disguise. This "indifference" made it difficult for Kosmo to have much good impression of Xiwang.

But then again, at the "third time", it seemed as if everything had changed. Xiwang suddenly became a... [hero] who dedicated himself to the world and let his singing spread across the planet. Even Kosmo was unwilling to say anything about his willingness to sacrifice.

By the "fourth time", he changed again and became a strange existence that ended everything, similar to the "Herrserker", but slightly different... But whether that was the "end" is hard to say, after all, people at that time just changed their way of life.

Moreover, Kosmo was not unable to understand Xiwang's actions at the time. After all, he was overly stimulated and was suspected by too many people. However, compared to Xiwang's obedience in the "third time", Xiwang in the "fourth time" chose to take the initiative to end everything and change everything.

But therein lies the problem. He has read over various events of the "past" and experienced all the emotions therein one by one. The influx of "memory" has affected him to some extent, and he does not know how to face Xi Wang, who is intentionally dominating everything and leading everything to the [ending] he has planned.

"Xiwang..."

Kosmo looked at Xiwang with a complicated expression, his eyes filled with entanglement and reluctance.

"How on earth did you become... like this?"

"You already know it, so why are you asking me?"

Xi Wang tilted his head and brushed the ends of Skadi's hair lightly with his fingertips. The soft feeling like water was quite pleasing to the eye. At the same time, he asked back.

"...I just want to know why you are doing all this and why you want to take the initiative to end it all...

Kosmo paused for a long time before using the adjective "end".

"You've done so well before, like in the 'third time', you were willing to give everything, and you're still so gentle now. If you continue... can you replicate the scene back then, or even do better?"

"Then why... did you become like this? You want to decide the ending for all of us, and decide what the future will look like?"

"You want to say that I'm being arbitrary?"

Xiwang looked at Kosmo with some amusement.

"It seems like you still have some complaints about me, otherwise you wouldn't be so roundabout in telling me these things... and even reject "thoughts" so much."

"You think it's a bad thing that I connect people without permission? And it's such a strong connection, right?"

"...I feel like you're trying to control everything. After all, your level in "Thoughts" is obviously higher than ours."

Kosmo retorted as calmly as possible.

"Also, you always say that [compatriots] need to help each other, but I don't feel that. You try to engrave in my mind the idea that all [compatriots] are equal and need to help each other, but you are obviously at a higher level."

“That in itself is a form of [inequality].”

"What else? What? Do you still want to have more authority than my [Transmission Station]? Or even the [Foundation]?"

Xi Wang raised his hand and nodded his head, as if to indicate that Kosmo's idea was too strange, even a little... funny.

"No, more importantly..."

Kosmo's tone had a hint of targeting.

"You seem to be trying to control us, imprinting certain ideas into our minds... or even... wanting us to do things according to your ideas."

"This kind of attitude, which is indistinguishable from [power]... is disgusting."

Kosmo subconsciously clenched his fists, as if he was forcibly suppressing his hostility and rejection of Xi Wang.

"Hmm...it seems that 'thoughts' and 'past' have had a significant impact on you. At least you talk a lot more...it's similar to Qianjie. Qianjie's vocabulary has become larger and larger, and it's easier to communicate with him. That's good."

"you!"

However, Xiwang's focus was very strange, which made Kosmo feel angry and the tension in his heart was about to turn into anger.

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding you... To put it bluntly, you're just wondering why I do this, why I don't give others a choice, and why I act in such a tough manner... This way of forcing you to act by pressing your head makes you feel uncomfortable, and it also makes you have some misunderstandings about me."

Xi Wang looked away and fixed his gaze on Skadi... Just now, Kosmo had shown a little hostility towards him, which was accompanied by his anger.

But even this brief and slight hostility was still caught by her, so she stopped playing with Xiwang and turned her dangerous red eyes towards Kosmo. Xiwang also reached out and poked her cheek, drawing her attention back to himself.

Compared to Kosmo, one's own "blood relatives" are more important.

"But now I am going to ask you...why can't I do this?"

Xi Wang asked back while stroking Skadi's head and straightening her hair, and Skadi obediently "swam" into his arms, showing a comfortable and happy expression, allowing her "blood relative" to get close to her.

Hmm... How should I put it? It feels like someone is petting their own pet... This is probably an illusion.

"If you look back carefully at the past, you will find that I obeyed others, passively accepted events, acted passively, and let everything in the world push me... Did those times have a good ending?"

"........."

"Like the 'third time', I can feel that you really enjoyed that experience, and so do I. Being loved and supported by so many people, anyone would be happy, right? Not to mention, if we could continue to live in peace, I might even be able to have a happy ending with them..."

"Although this sentence may sound a bit excessive... well, emotional problems are like this after all~"

Xi Wang shook his head, as if he was thinking of something wonderful. The corners of his mouth curled up a little... Then, he brought the topic back to where it had deviated a little.

“But what was the final result that time?”

"........."

"The trust that I had painstakingly built up was easily overturned and destroyed. The original love turned into suspicion in an instant, and then turned into rejection... And what was the final [end]?"

"No, that's because of the Herrscher..."

"Ah, yes, there is a Herrscher guiding us in secret, but... is that really the case?"

"........."

Kosmo said nothing.

"In comparison, the [result] of the 'fourth time' was much better, wasn't it?"

Xi Wang shrugged and said very easily.

"You know, in a sense, I am leading people to [ascension]."

"It's a pity... I'm not satisfied with that [ending]."

Xi Wang paused for a moment, then said with a smile.

"I can do better and make this...better."

Xi Wang said this softly, his words were still so gentle, like water, but with an inexplicable sense of firmness, and a little bit of... madness.

"Kosmo, you ask me why I took the initiative to do this? Why do I try to control all of this? Even act according to your own head?"

"It's very simple."
