Collapse, a simulator of lifelong regret!

——The lawyer.

The facts presented above have already proved a lot.

Alicia...

What is it that you have to hide from me?

……

Chapter of Stars and Moon: 110. You decide to go to the Fire Moth

The shadow seemed to stand firm, occupying the place of Alicia in the memory, hiding everything within its own body.

Until Jiang Cheng could no longer bear it, until the power of the gravity field reappeared in the world since the Great Collapse, until a breeze blew through the treetops, until the long-dead branches gave way to the space that belonged to the sky, and another ray of starlight descended, revealing the truth of that mysterious figure...

——That’s a shadow.

——A shadow cast by a longbow.

The overly beautiful weapon, the pink holy and flawless bow, was baptized by the starlight, its true form obscured by dreamy and hazy colors, illuminating the starry sky in the darkness, and illuminating reflections that should never exist.

It carries the hope of beauty and divinity, and was created by a figure that has almost faded from memory, a weapon prepared for God.

……

After several years, the girl who could only hold a twisted and dirty bow that looked like a demon from paradise lost or a fallen angel still did not think she was qualified or had the right to pick up the weapon that held the promise of beauty.

Not worthy.

In no mood.

Even less willing.

Because this weapon was not given to a human, but to a god who existed only on the edge of a fantasy where memories and emotions were becoming blurred.

She is a goddess from the stars and the moon, without any human emotion or love. She has no sense of loss or sadness in her heart. She is a monster without blood or tears, with only the empty beauty and kindness that others have attached to her.

Alicia will not deny her own meanness or incompetence.

At this point, there is no need at all.

No one knew her own incompetence better than she did.

The girl is absolutely nothing. For the sake of so-called self-esteem and dignity, she can ignore what is happening in front of her.

It is incomprehensible to be a person who is so single-minded that he would give up everything and hurt others just for some self-imposed ideas.

Giving up something else just for a momentary emotion is something that normal people cannot do, and the girl cannot accept it at all.

This emotion can be called willful, but now that the world has been completely destroyed, there is no room for this little temper.

No one in the world can clearly see the girl's ridiculous life, and no one can understand her emotions, sadness and resentment.

Only those who truly understand what they are doing, what they have done, what results they have achieved, what price they have paid, and who can personally experience how sad they are in their hearts can truly realize their own behavior.

The terrible characteristic of human life is that we often only remember everything we have done wrong at the moment we feel pain.

This weapon was ultimately left here, never used once, as a tool to warn himself and as a torture instrument to punish himself.

however……

Alicia might never have imagined what was happening now.

The tool used to warn oneself would be discovered again by its creator one day.

——Jiangcheng.

Even though she is no longer as smart as she used to be, she imitates Weiwei's actions and all logic, and her wisdom can even be called top-notch.

Facing a weapon that was essentially created by one's own hands, and that was infused with all one's remaining love, expectations, and blessings before death.

How could he not be touched by the numbness towards death at that moment, the desire for Alicia's happiness, and the wish for that vague memory.

"——Alicea, I'm sorry, my memory of you is starting to blur. I can't even remember your smile. I can only restore it by deleting it."

"——Although this blessing has been incomplete from the beginning, I still hope you can accept this belated birthday gift."

"In fact, I can't be considered a gentle person, it's just that Yihao has some morals and empathy, and you were by my side when I was a child.

"——Hmm... I said a lot of useless things. After all, when I thought that you would hear these words, I couldn't help but say some of my thoughts on this ordinary world that is neither cruel nor beautiful."

"——I'm sure you must have gained a lot from your travels. Although I haven't been to many places, even if it's just a small world, as long as there is warmth from emotions, it is a truly beautiful paradise."

"——This world may encounter many disasters in the future, but I believe you can face them. You are an absolutely romantic fairy who lives in paradise."

"——No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, they will not defeat you. They will only serve as stepping stones for you to reach paradise, perfect and self-consistent like a god."

An inexplicable sound was triggered, the completed work saw its owner again, and the audio that should have been completed perfectly was triggered again.

It's not just a blessing.

It's not just a few casual words.

Countless and innumerable fragments of memory broke free from the shackles and swept through the passage between self and soul again like a true torrent storm.

In a flash, I was overwhelmed by the huge amount of information and almost collapsed. My self was almost torn apart, and I was left with only the last bit of doubt.

This is……

what?

……

What are these audio sounds that suddenly appear?

Why do these voices sound so familiar to me?

What are these memories that suddenly appear?

Why do I seem to be making weapons for Alicia again?

Obviously I didn't... Alicia never told me that I had recorded my own words, that I had left my own will.

I am just an ordinary person, why can I make such sophisticated weapons? Why would I make the weapons like this?

This kind of thing doesn't look like it's for human use at all. It's too gorgeous and ethereal, and doesn't even have any human breath or feeling.

A cute and humble girl like Alicia shouldn't have anything to do with such an illusory divinity from the beginning.

This regret, this blessing, this hidden sadness before death...Aren’t Alicia and I lovers who have never been apart, companions who have traveled the world together, and childhood sweethearts who have been together from the beginning?

They are each other's eternal and flawless paradise, embracing each other as the only absolutely inseparable individual between each other.

Why……

The one with the same voice as mine is saying.

"——Even if the world is extremely cruel, I still hope you can find your own paradise."

……

The pupils in the dark blue eyes that should have been sparkling were unusually dim, as if all the stars in the sky were eroded by endless waves.

It was not a flood in the descriptive sense, but water in the literal sense. The sea composed of almost infinite water began to wash and crush.

Emotions were impacting and tearing, and even the feeling of a clear breeze blowing on the skin felt like being chopped by a huge cutting machine.

The seeds that were suppressed to the point of being unable to be suppressed any more were forced to grow before they even had a chance to germinate. Their numerous long and narrow roots were also pulled along with them, and those that broke free in the soil were pulled upwards by brute force.

Even though it does not belong to this world, the eternally cold and cruel ocean responds to the wish in a distorted way, and the blockade and repression are still perfect.

It just so happens that the repair was done too quickly.

Unfortunately, the repair process is too slow.

Once a hole is opened, no matter how hard you try to remedy the situation, it is inevitable that one of the sheep will be caught by the wolf and run towards cruelty and reality.

The exit is blocked.

The exit has already flowed out.

Anyone who has seen the truth can no longer tolerate falsehood, and anyone who has seen the true light can no longer tolerate himself continuing to live in darkness.

Long before his thoughts began to function, his body was driven forward by the boredom of being unable to move, his fingertips lightly touching the weapon that was as smooth as new.

The dark eyes reflected a bow as sacred as a god, decorated with flowers, birds and the gentle breeze, after the shadows that obscured the vision were dispelled.

This should be a weapon that has never been seen before. Such a perfect and luxurious thing should have nothing to do with an ordinary and mundane traveler.

The fingers touching the public body felt surprisingly familiar, and he even inadvertently performed maintenance and inspection on the weapon without noticing.

It seemed that it had never been used by the holder. The weapon did not show any wear and tear, and even the bowstring, the most easily replaceable component, did not show any damage.

Even the black mark on the left side of the grip, which looks like a moth and will be erased by the wear of the fingertips during use, is lifelike and perfect.

That is the mark of the fire moth.

Jiang Cheng knew about the mark. When he was bored, he chatted with people on the streets of Paradise and some refugees talked about this mark.

It is one of the last pure lands of mankind outside, an organization that is still fighting against the collapse - the Fire Moth. It was reformed after the disaster of the second collapse and was used for several years until a genius died a few years ago.

However, due to some drastic changes in the supreme controller of the Fire Moth, it became a dictatorship of one person. That person did not like this mark and was said to think that the moth chasing fire was too pessimistic.

After all, in this world, the moth chasing the flame seems to be courageous enough to throw itself into the light, but its final outcome is to be burned to ashes by the flames.

Only courage has no continuation, no future, and everything you have will be burned in a flame. Is the human civilization going to be like this too?

With this idea in mind, it is said that the dictator replaced the mark in a very short time, replacing it with a self-entwined Ouroboros.

Even the name of the organization Fire Moth was rejected long ago and replaced with World Serpent, simply because it is too familiar and has been used for too long, so some people still call it that even now.

What does your past have to do with the organization?

What happened to the Fire Moth back then?

Why does it seem like I have been separated from Alicia?

Why can I make such sophisticated weapons?

Why did I add so many divine elements to the weapons I prepared for Alicia?

There are so many doubts in my heart. The reality in front of me has not solved any problems of the past. Instead, it has led to countless more confusions. There are so many that if I don’t think about them deeply, just the piles of doubts in my heart will make me feel as if my heart is going to burst.

Just like a blind man touching an elephant, if you only reach out a few times and don't know the details, no matter how many answers you come up with, they will be incorrect.

and so……

Jiang Cheng refused to think.

If you don't know the answer at all and just make random guesses based on just a few edges, it is essentially no different from wild imagination.

One of the inherent bad qualities of human beings is that after accepting a certain answer, one will subconsciously deny other possibilities and other truths.

Although maybe my guess is wrong.

Although maybe I'm just daydreaming.

The nature of not wanting to admit defeat will still make you persist stubbornly.

The so-called abuse is essentially the same as this: some geniuses who calculate something shocking will be suppressed by others.

It was just like a sentence he had read in a book in the library - before the age of eighteen, any new invention in the world is natural, but after the age of eighteen, any new discovery or invention is against the will of heaven.

Perhaps the person who suppresses the genius is not doing so out of jealousy, but simply because preconceived ideas prevent them from understanding new things.

The inability to understand will lead to hatred, anger, and paranoia.

It is human nature to desire to be understood by others.

Although this understanding may come from brute force.

Although this understanding is not accepted in the heart.

People cannot understand each other, and most people don’t care whether others are convinced or not. Verbal respect and understanding are enough.

Because people who are able to use brute force to oppress others and make them understand themselves inherently do not care whether others agree with them psychologically.

Jiang Cheng did not want to create any facts that might lead to misunderstandings or errors because of his own guesses or pure imagination.

What he hated most in the book was that even though no one was mute, they didn't communicate or speak, and simply created conflicts based on their imaginations.

At least until now, the last bottom line, Alicia has loved wholeheartedly for so long, and is still trying her best to guide her reason.

Young people are not so inclined to be grateful for a little and resentful for a big, and they are not so inclined to arbitrarily decide whether a person is good or evil just because the truth is not fully revealed.
