Finally, I became their white moonlight

“…So, I came to see you.”

Someone once said that dreams are the continuation of reality, and reality is the end of dreams.

And now, whether it is a dream or reality, it is time to end.

Nagasaki Suyo lowered her head. The ground was so far away that she could hardly see it. Her instinctive fear of heights could not make her heart beat faster. Her eyes were still calmly looking at the place where she was about to fall.

Although I dressed up as best as possible, I also tried hard not to let the rain wet my makeup.

But after Su Shi becomes Su Shi-chan, he will definitely be more fragmented than he was at that time, right?

…It doesn’t matter.

Anyway, it’s just a dream after all, so it’s okay as long as the sense of ritual is achieved.

When will I wake up? Will I see him the first thing after waking up?

Would he still like Xiangzi at that time?

The future is full of uncertainties, but as long as he is there, Nagasaki Suyo will be fearless and can always look into the distance with anticipation.

"Then, it will be a new beginning for you and me."

"It's really exciting."

She shook her calves, opened the jar of candy for the first and last time, and took out a candy.

"Maybe, I won't be able to be with you in this life.

But at least this candy jar and those happy memories will accompany me forever.

It reminds me of your existence and makes me look forward to meeting you next time... What kind of pleasant sound will the happiness and joy in my heart produce? 』

She once said this to Ming Hai.

As long as you never open it, you will never finish it.

…But those memories are now stained with blood.

The sound of candies colliding became a torture device for the spirit, and there would be no chance for us to meet again in this world.

So Nagasaki Suyo opened it.

If this could be considered a kind of death, then it would indeed go with her along with those happy memories.

"Actually, I've always been curious about what flavor of candy is inside this."

As if full of interest, Nagasaki Suyo threw the candy into her mouth, squinting her eyes and savored it carefully.

She thought it would be as sweet as the candy she had eaten when she had a cold, but she didn't expect the taste to be bland beyond her expectations.

——Just like the impression they had of each other when they first met.

"What? It's not sweet at all."

Nagasaki Suyo said with some regret, slowly stood up, and threw the umbrella back to the balcony.

The wind and rain blew her tightly tied ponytail, and the forget-me-not headband fluttered violently; the carefully matched dating suit was soaked by the rain, and the screen of the mobile phone with a rice ear pendant was no longer visible.

A spaghetti bag was slung across her shoulder, containing a candy jar with a lid already closed.

“No matter how much you miss the past, you must take steps towards tomorrow.”

"Even if it's snowing heavily..."

Singing softly the song he left behind, Nagasaki Suyo closed her eyes and, without any hesitation, took a step towards the cliff-like tomorrow.

The body was enveloped by a feeling of weightlessness for a moment.

Then, gravity pulled him downward at a rapid speed, causing him to feel uncomfortable as if his internal organs were being pulled out of his body.

It seemed as if the whole city was turning upside down, spinning, and falling at this moment.

The strong wind slapped her cheeks, the rain curtain was constantly broken, and the fear brought by instinct and the unknown tried to make her scream.

But even so, Nagasaki Suyo's mind was still full of Minghai, and she had no time to think about those inexplicable emotions.

She just opened her arms wide, like a pair of featherless wings, and flew straight towards the ground.

"Nakamiya, I'm here to see you."

“…Please catch me.”

With a little girl's innocent and cheerful smile.

In a world blurred by wind and rain, Nagasaki Suyo met her own end.

-

boom!

The moment the screen went dark, Ming Hai subconsciously opened his arms and also fell to his knees unconsciously.

Even though his knees hit the ground hard, he didn't feel any pain at all. He just tilted his head back and stared blankly at the screen in the air, as if the girl with a bright smile falling towards him was still reflected in his eyes.

"Su Shi..."

Why, you want to do this?

Why are you so persistent with me?

Why, after making so many preparations, nothing can be changed in the end...

Why, I only leave them with inescapable despair?

——No matter how many questions he had, they could not change the ending he had created with his own hands.

As if he had finally accepted the fact, Ming Hai lowered his head and his shoulders trembled slightly.

The pair of hands that seemed to be catching something slowly dropped down and clenched into fists.

Then, it slammed heavily onto the white ground.

boom! boom! boom!

Once, once, and again.

The dull sound of impact continued to echo in the empty and silent white space.

Ming Hai did not say anything, but just vented silently. Even though his lips, which were bitten tightly, were bleeding and his fists were broken by his own punches, he did not utter any cry of collapse and pain.

The emotions swirling in my heart were running rampant in my body, almost as if they were about to explode in my chest.

——The more regretful and sad he was, the calmer he became.

Ming Hai watched the entire post-mortem video with his eyes open, without any attempt to escape or be distracted.

When he saw that Su Shi's mental state was not right and she was obviously insane, he wanted to rush in and pinch her cheek to teach her a lesson, telling her that family and friendship are more important than a love that ends in vain.

When he saw Su Shi talking in his own void and even teasing Di Zhu on his bed, he felt helpless and amused, and also felt a little sorry for her. He hoped that the song he left behind could make her return to normal to some extent.

When he heard that Su Shi had deduced from his reaction and the relics he left behind that "this world is a huge nightmare", he couldn't help but admire her amazing wisdom, but he couldn't help but feel complicated about her increasingly crazy and persistent love.

Then comes the story of how she met Xiangzi, deceived Xiangzi with her acting skills, and drugged Xiangzi.

Ming Hai gradually became silent and his expression began to become serious.

The bad premonition was coming true, and he wanted to stop the system several times, or cover his ears and turn his head, just to pretend that he knew nothing.

But in the end, he still forced himself to suppress this weakness.

He just watched carefully every step Su Shi took towards self-destruction, and listened carefully to her confessions to him again and again.

——That was something he had to reject when he was alive.

It's not that he learned to cherish after death, but this heavy feeling that transcends life and death makes him unable to ignore it.

Even if my feelings are complicated, even if I can’t respond…

Ming Hai would also see all her madness, her infatuation, and her expectations.

Remember there was once a girl who loved you so deeply.

"It must be this painful to watch me die in front of them... Heh, it really is karma."

Ming Hai loosened his fist, ignoring the blood slowly dripping from it, and pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly.

"So, system, you let me watch this just to torture my spirit? Or do you want to collect my emotional energy as well?"

What task settlement, what summary of experience, what commendation - it's all bullshit.

It was clearly said that everything would be peaceful after death and no one would get hurt, but the system still allowed him to witness with his own eyes the process of Su Shi jumping off the building to commit suicide for him.

This is obviously intended to make him mentally broken, cry bitterly, and regret why he was so close to someone other than the target.

As for the reason...either he wants me to give up resisting, or he wants to correct some mistake he made during the mission, right?

Something huge enough to affect the outcome of the mission.

——Unfortunately, the system made a mistake.

The more regretful he was, the more unwilling he was to give up; the more painful it was, the stronger he became; the more people prevented him from doing so, the more he wanted to do it.

Just like the scars on the body, no matter how many gaps and imperfections there are, Ming Hai will not fall down until a fatal injury appears.

Only in this way can he always maintain his confidence and become a "hero" as a matter of course.

[Answer: The host does not have to harbor malicious intent towards the system.]

A dull mechanical voice sounded immediately, explaining without any sincerity.

[The task settlement is a fixed process, and the screen presented is related to the host's settlement result. This scene is not deliberately played to dampen the host's spirit.]

[It is of no benefit to the system or the origin of the world to make the host lose the will to carry out the mission. ]

"Yes, that's why you didn't let me see Su Shi's shattered body at the last moment."

Ming Hai said with a hint of sarcasm: "If I'm not mistaken, the so-called 'intercepted time period' you mentioned is the period from my death to her death, right?"

“Death always brings the most intense fear, but if you really die, the fear will end...both for those who face death and for those who witness death.”

"The emotional energy brought by the experience is richer than the result. The feeling of stepping step by step into the abyss is more terrifying than the grenade exploding next to you."

"That's what you want me to learn from this reversal, right?"

The system replied calmly, as if it was still trying to create a sense of praise.

[Answer: Correct. The host is indeed the destined emotion juicer, and is the most suitable for the existence of the White Moonlight System.]

Ming Hai was not happy at all. Instead, he stared at the screen in mid-air with gritted teeth.

"Fuck you! Your true form better not be a giant ball of light, or I'll definitely stuff you into Kun Kun's ass and kick both of you off the helicopter together!"

The system ignored his intention to curse and continued coldly:

[The main part of the settlement screen has been played. Do you want to continue watching the rest? Since the host has gained something in the process of reviewing the game, the rest can be skipped. ]

"That's quite kind of you."

With a snort, Ming Hai sat back on the ground, staring at the screen that was gradually lighting up again.

"In this case, I choose... not to skip."

"If there's anything else you want me to see, please show it all to me."

Ming Hai took a deep breath, slapped his slightly stiff face with his palms, and then said firmly and seriously: "Since this story was started by me, no matter how horrible it is... I have the responsibility to witness it to the end!"

The unrequited love that spans life and death, the pain of a loved one’s death, the despair of being separated from your loved ones… and the sadness of never being able to go back to the way things were before.

It has nothing to do with the system. This is the grudge between him and them, and it is also an important emotion that is deeply engraved in his heart.

Whether it is Su Shi, Xiangzi, or even Deng and the others.

As long as that emotion stems from his own death, Ming Hai will not turn a blind eye to it.

…even though there was nothing he could do except watch.

【Playback begins.】

The system did not care about his decision. After confirming his opinion, it lit up the screen in the air again.

The rainy city came into view again.

But unlike that time in Su Shi, the first scene that appeared was not the Roppongi Apartment Building, but a seemingly ordinary small apartment building.

In one of the houses, a warm light was on in the rain.
