Finally, I became their white moonlight

——Even if I can’t laugh, I will still die with a smile on my face until the very end.

Because he is Ming Hai.

He is Toyokawa Shoko's boyfriend and the hero who protects her.

The so-called hero, the sadder he is, the more he should smile; the more regretful he is, the braver he should face it.

Yes, it is completely different from the past.

At least this time...

At the end of the story that was destined to be tragic, he became what he once longed to be.

-

Dreams are the continuation of reality, and reality is the end of dreams.

When Ming Hai opened his eyes again, his dazed vision was reflected on the pure white dome like a curtain, and the endless ocean around him.

He felt like he had had a very long dream.

In my life of more than 20 years, it is not even as profound as the experience of the past six months.

The pain, happiness, and attachment in the dream... after waking up, they suddenly became so far away from me, just like the distance between the sky and the ocean.

If you are distracted for a moment, you won’t even be able to capture the afterimage of spring.

“…Fortunately, that was definitely not a dream.”

Ming Hai closed his eyes again and lay on the cold and hard ground. Thinking back on the things he had experienced in this period of his life, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

He meets Shoko in the park and accidentally saves Sushi outside a supermarket;

He and Xiangzi knocked down the lights on the overpass, had a fight with Shiina Riki, and had a heart-to-heart talk with Wakaba Mutsu by the stream...

And every moment spent with the five of them.

Ignoring the final outcome, those memories were like the warm sunshine on an August morning, warming his chest and making his body and mind happy.

No matter how beautiful the dream is, it can never be so real and profound.

Not to mention, until now, he can still clearly remember the sweet taste of Teacher Xiaoxiang's mouth, the touch of her smooth and soft skin, and the way she shyly took off her clothes.

Even though it seems like a lifetime ago, it is still vivid in my mind.

——As for those feelings of being stabbed, smashed, and having the body hugged by his girlfriend and crying, is there any need to bring them up again?

Sorry, he was already trying to clear this part of his memory.

[It is detected that the host has returned. 】

[The task settlement will begin now...]

A mechanical AI voice suddenly sounded, causing Ming Hai to open his eyes subconsciously, and he looked at the translucent panel that appeared in front of him with surprise.

"Why is there a sound? Has the function of this broken system finally evolved?"

[Answer: The emotional energy obtained by the host will be used to complete the incomplete worlds, including the task system separated from the origin of the world.]

“You can actually answer it?!”

Ming Hai immediately sat up cross-legged, his eyes wide open, looking at the panel that seemed to be reading a message with great interest.

"That's perfect. I have a lot of questions for you. Can you give your poor worker a chance to answer them?"

【Answer: Host, please speak. 】

Without much thought, the question came out:

"Will I ever see Xiangzi again?"

There seemed to be no need to think, as the system gave an answer in the next instant.

[Answer: Yes. After the second mission begins, the world will continue to run according to the established timeline and will not affect all people and things that should exist.]

A long list of instructions no longer appeared on the translucent panel, but instead a slow explanation was given in a mechanical voice that was even more emotionless than Ruoye Mu's.

[As a variable, any traces left by the host will be cut off by the restored world line, returning to the original appearance that the host had never appeared. ]

[So even if he can meet Toyokawa Shoko again, this character will not get any information related to the host. ]

"In other words, it means reverting to the same game, clearing all the data from the previous file, and starting a second route?"

Ming Hai supported his head and frowned slightly.

This answer is not difficult to understand. After all, it is just explaining in detail what was told to him at the beginning.

I asked this specifically because he still had hope.

——Perhaps, our love can transcend the blockade of the world, and our first meeting can still be the same as always.

Unfortunately, judging from the system's foolproof statement, I guess the next time I see her, I will still be treated politely by her like I did at the beginning, right?

A little disappointed...

However, Ming Hai will not give up, as long as he knows that he still has the possibility of fulfilling the final promise.

"Maybe one day in the future, we will meet again."

He had already decided that after returning to that world, he would go see her as soon as possible.

"Then the second question."

After calming down, Ming Hai continued to ask, "How long do I have to work for you? There has to be a deadline, right? Otherwise, I'll really screw up in front of you."

[Answer: Once the repair between the worlds is complete, the host can complete the contract, be reborn in that world, and receive a mysterious reward.]

"In addition to the second life, there is actually a mysterious reward?" Ming Hai blinked, not hiding his surprise, "Can you tell me in advance how mysterious this reward is?"

[Answer: No. The specific remuneration will ultimately depend on the host's performance in the mission.]

"Tch, boring."

Ming Hai rolled his eyes and quickly lost interest in Schrodinger's reward.

"It's good to have a second life anyway. When the contract is fulfilled, I will marry Xiangzi and make sure she can't get out of bed every day..."

Thinking of what they had done and said during their training camp, he couldn't help laughing again, and he really wanted to go back to that somewhat distant summer afternoon.

——At least now, he knew when he could obtain happiness that would no longer disappear like a dream bubble.

The end point is far away as far as the eye can see, so all that is left is to go straight all the way to the end.

As an old worker, Ming Hai is very confident in his perseverance and adaptability - he is not afraid of how long the road is, but he is afraid of not being able to see the end of the road.

After reaffirming his belief once again, Ming Hai asked several questions about basic settings in succession, and the system answered him as detailed and concisely as possible.

For example, Between the Worlds, a world-class transit station connecting his hometown and Xiangzi's hometown, is currently facing the crisis of being swallowed by the "Ocean of Void".

The four square meters of ground under his feet is the only remaining area between the worlds. Once it is completely swallowed up by the "Ocean of Void", the connection between the two worlds will completely disappear, and the origin of the world will also be severely damaged.

In order to fight against the "Void Ocean" and take back the territory between the worlds, a huge amount of "emotional energy" is needed; but emotional energy can only be obtained from adolescent girls, and only a few specific girls in each world have the "emotional potential" to compete with the "Void Ocean".

The principle is not important.

Anyway, it's about the mission.

A few simple sentences can sum it up:

In order to save itself, the world will chose Toyokawa Shoko, a fruit with excellent "emotional potential".

He also created a "White Moonlight System" for juicing, preparing to use the method most suitable for adolescent girls - having a life-and-death, fruitless love affair - to create a huge void in their devastated souls, and gain emotional energy from it to save the world.

The reason for choosing Ming Hai is very simple.

According to the calculations of the world's will, he is the person in the two worlds who is most likely to squeeze juice out of fruits. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a natural emotional juicer, a twisted savior, and the natural enemy of the void ocean.

It's not just Toyokawa Shoko. Any girl with "emotional potential" would easily suffer a mental breakdown and emotional explosion in front of him who possesses the White Moonlight System.

—— Ming Hai felt like he was being scolded.

And the curses were very harsh, as if saying that he was not a good person and was born to bring harm to others.

"It's obviously you who wanted to kill someone, so don't make me look like a scumbag who would just throw away the landmine girl after hooking up with her, okay?"

"If you have the guts, replace it with a 'Pure Love System' or a 'Many Children and Grandchildren System' for me, I will definitely open your eyes..."

It's a pity that the system panel has no physical body, otherwise his complaints and mumblings would definitely make the panel full of saliva.

At least Ming Hai didn't think that just because he was in an ordinary relationship, he could make anyone lose their mind and explode emotionally -

It was obviously the system's fault that Xiangzi had to face that kind of ending, okay?

That’s all for the background setting.

It’s not that Ming Hai no longer has anything to ask, but the reading bar on the system panel has finally reached the bottom at this time.

As a ding-dong sound was heard, the translucent frame suddenly expanded backwards and turned into a floating projection screen commonly seen in science fiction movies, about the size of a 75-inch TV screen.

Ming Hai sat cross-legged on the ground, watching the screen in confusion as it turned from black to white, as if a video had started playing, with clear images and sounds appearing in front of him at the same time.

"This is……"

When seeing the familiar scene, Ming Hai couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and his expression became stunned.

——The sound of rain is noisy, and cars are flowing through the gray and lonely city roads.

Blurred flashing neon lights, colorful umbrellas crisscrossing the street, and a high-end apartment building about forty stories high.

That was his and Soyo's residence, Roppongi Hall.

[The mission is settled. The settlement screen will now begin.]

[This is the development of the world line after the host's death. The system will intercept the time period when the emotional energy explodes most strongly and review the results of the host's current mission, so that the host can have a more abundant harvest in the second mission. ]

Volume 164: Chapter Chapter Nagasaki Suyo. Part

"Settlement? Re-play?"

As if he had heard some Arabian Nights story, Ming Hai slowly repeated it in an incredulous tone, the wrinkles between his brows were so tight that they could pinch a mosquito to death.

"You mean... in order to cope with the next mission, you plan to let me see what happened in that world after I died, and iterate the mature play method based on the results, find the emotional pain points, arrange new characters, accurately slice the next target, and expand the development of emotional energy to create greater glory?"

Even he himself didn't know what he was saying, but the system still responded seriously.

[Answer: Yes. Although the host made a lot of meaningless resistance during this mission, there were also some tasks that were not clearly stated, and the host made his own arrangements, which greatly improved the outburst and quality of emotional energy. ]

[This behavior is worthy of praise. I hope that the host can still deliver a combination of deep and painful punches to the target in the next mission, strive to strengthen emotional perception, and not pursue attribution analysis of key paths, but instead carry out high-level development of different tracks based on differentiated development - this is the purpose of this review. ]

Damn, you’re starting to learn to speak Tongliao dialect like me, right?

Ming Hai was confused, but thanks to the system's willingness to answer the questions proactively, he saved the effort of guessing and testing.

So, he asked very directly:

"Hey, can I refuse?"

Although the funeral arrangements he had prepared inadvertently actually worked, it gave him some surprise and comfort.

But what followed was a bad premonition and vague panic.

——After all, it goes without saying that my death in front of them must have left them with a lot of psychological trauma.

Not to mention Xiangzi, who is doomed to collapse and despair under the system's powerful hands.

...Even Su Shi and Deng probably didn't have a good life after that, right?

Ming Hai didn't want to see the tragic scene of them crying because of him, nor did he want to make himself feel upset after finally getting over the relief he had felt. He didn't think that revisiting this incident would really bring him any benefits.

He only arranged his funeral arrangements for himself in order to leave no regrets...

Who knew the system would come up with something as unethical as "Posthumous Stories" that only twisted freaks would enjoy watching.

[Answer: No.]

Unfortunately, the system's answer was even more straightforward than his.

[The settlement time is a fixed process. If the host hopes to proceed to the next mission as soon as possible, the system can transmit the picture to the host's consciousness, so that the host can browse and recall it at any time. ]

"Forget it then."

Ming Hai clicked his tongue loudly, scratched his hair, and could only accept the fact helplessly.

Looking at the screen like he is now, if a scene he doesn't want to see appears, at least he can close his eyes and hypnotize himself to forget it quickly... If it enters his consciousness, he is afraid that he will not be able to have a peaceful dream in the future.

We can only pray that everyone can cheer up as soon as possible after his funeral.
