Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

Luo Chuan's voice echoed in the activity room.

Xu Xiaojin's smile faltered.

They stood there, stunned.

Luo Chuan's words were like a sharp knife, piercing her heart.

It caused her a sharp pain in her heart and her mind to become extremely confused.

She recalled the overwhelming emotions that kept her awake all night when she received Luo Chuan's invitation.

I remember carefully getting ready in front of the vanity mirror before leaving the house.

And there was Grandma's teasing yet encouraging gaze.

When I was in the capital.

She then realized her true feelings and made a clean break with her past promise.

I decided to present my best self on this date.

Taking advantage of the atmosphere of memories.

She mustered her courage and suppressed her nervousness.

She was preparing to confess her feelings to Luo Chuan.

When their eyes met.

She realized that Luo Chuan had something important to say to her.

Her heart started racing, pounding like a deer.

Never thought.

What Luo Chuan said was completely different from what she had thought.

She was drenched completely.

"You're fired."

The sentence kept replaying in Xu Xiaojin's mind.

Has Luo Chuan abandoned me?

Was it because I did something wrong?

Why?

Why why why...

She had worked so hard to become the person Luo Chuan wanted her to be.

So it was because I was too weak to be worthy of staying with the Dark Moon Sword and by Luo Chuan's side?

For the sake of a new dream, I even let go of the obsession I've had since childhood.

Even this small wish cannot be fulfilled...

Are we just going to give up like this?

Xu Xiaojin bit her lower lip tightly.

Intense resentment breeds a kind of profound darkness.

It completely enveloped Xu Xiaojin's heart.

His eyes gradually lost their sparkle.

Why?

Xu Xiaojin forced out a distorted smile.

Like a broken doll.

Yes.

She will not give up.

It was the other person who taught her to be strong and brave.

……

Why does the atmosphere feel a bit oppressive...?

Luo Chuan shivered.

He stared at Xu Xiaojin in front of him, his expression slightly stiff.

Xu Xiaojin was smiling, but she continued to exude a heavy, oppressive aura.

Logically speaking, the other party should be happy right now, right?

Why does it look so scary?

Not right.

Something's really wrong.

Years of teaching experience have made Luo Chuan's mental radar constantly sound alarms.

Dead memories are attacking him with all their might.

Luo Chuan forced a smile.

"You have completed your transformation and are ready to graduate. You no longer need to stay in Darkmoon Sword to receive my training."

"No, I still have many areas where I'm not mature enough, and I need your guidance."

Xu Xiaojin argued her case logically.

She pursed her lips and pressed closer to Luo Chuan.

"Why are you firing me? Did I do something wrong?"

"You've done a great job, both in managing the Darkmoon Sword and in helping me."

Luo Chuan twitched his lips, trying to appear calm.

This script is wrong!

Xu Xiaojin shouldn't be so moved to tears.

And then, with his mentor's encouragement, will he achieve the final sublimation?

Feeling the pressure from Xu Xiaojin.

Luo Chuan felt extremely guilty.

Unfortunately, in order to cultivate a certain image, he confidently leaned against his desk, leaving himself no way out.

We have no choice but to keep holding on until the very end.

"But that's precisely why I'm letting you leave."

"My good performance is a mistake? What kind of logic is that?"

"This means you've completed my coursework with excellent grades and are now capable of standing on your own."

"But I don't want to leave and go out on my own!"

"ha?"

Luo Chuan was stunned.

He couldn't help but look down.

At this moment, Xu Xiaojin had already come to his side, within arm's reach.

Without the glasses and bangs to cover her face, the girl's delicate face was exposed to him.

What came into view was a sad face filled with tears and grievances.

Crystalline tears kept sliding down her cheeks.

From the girl's perspective.

Luo Chuan sensed a familiar, heavy emotion.

It was so heavy it was hard to breathe.

"You...don't want to leave?"

He hesitated, then softened his tone slightly.

"Why? Isn't your dream, which you've worked so hard for all this time, to get into Beijing University and become the best partner with Wen Zhinian?"

"That agreement is null and void; we both have new wishes now."

Xu Xiaojin wiped away her tears, her pleading voice trembling slightly.

"I want to stay with Darkmoon Sword."

"..."

Luo Chuan was speechless.

What exactly is going on here?

He never imagined that Xu Xiaojin would have such deep feelings for the Dark Moon Sword.

Or rather, it's about his irresponsible regimental commander.

But stopping is not an option.

After all, he still had to complete the system's tasks.

"Xu Xiaojin, you should be aware of your own abilities, right? Your performance in the Martial Arts Tournament is enough to get you into Imperial University and fight alongside Wen Zhinian."

"You are only one step away from fulfilling your past wishes."

"Are you really going to give up at this final moment?"

Luo Chuan said with a serious expression.

"I didn't give up! I just found what I truly wanted..."

Xu Xiaojin clenched her fist and placed it in front of her chest.

She stared intently at Luo Chuan.

"I used to cherish the promises we made in the past, but Luo Chuan, you made me change my mind."

"During my time with the Darkmoon Sword, I received help from you and everyone else. I learned a lot and changed a lot. There's no going back now..."

"Isn't this what you wanted?"

"..."

"Now I've done everything you said, but you want to abandon me and drive me away. Why?"

With a sob in her voice, Xu Xiaojin posed a soul-searching question.

It contains profound pain and despair.

Suffocating.

Luo Chuan carefully considered his tone, trying to win the girl back.

"I see you want to leave but find it hard to say it. I just want to reassure you so you don't have to worry and can confidently pursue your dreams..."

"That's not my dream!"

Xu Xiaojin shouted loudly.

She looked up at Luo Chuan with tears streaming down her face.

"What I find difficult to say is that I want to stay with Darkmoon Sword forever, and always be by your side."

Xu Xiaojin sobbed and cried.

"Sob... I know I'm weak and not good enough for you. I have no right to criticize you, but I just love my life now and want to be with you."

"What can I do to stay? I'm willing to do anything I can."

"I'll do anything to keep up with you..."

She stared at Luo Chuan.

Eyes blurred with tears.

It is shrouded in a kind of viscous emotion, and is heading towards distortion and collapse.

It drowned out the light in the pupils.

A smile inadvertently appeared on her lips.

A strange, enigmatic smile.

too heavy.

Luo Chuan felt a chill run down his spine.

He simply couldn't understand why Xu Xiaojin had such deep feelings for him.

So much so that they were able to abandon the desires they had always pursued.

Luo Chuan is not a wooden person.

He just never thought about it that way.

After all, he was simply helping Xu Xiaojin transform, and he didn't think he had done anything that would make her remember him.

Or is it some kind of terrifying curse?

All of them are students I teach.

Ultimately, these emotions will be distorted, resulting in this heavy and oppressive feeling.

"So Luo Chuan, can you please not fire me?"

Xu Xiaojin stood on tiptoe.

Their faces were almost touching.

"If you think I'm too weak, then I'll keep working hard, a hundred times... no, two hundred times harder, and desperately try to become stronger."

"Are you... really going to go this far?"

Luo Chuan looked at Xu Xiaojin.

Although he was far stronger than Xu Xiaojin, I was inexplicably a little scared.

"Don't give up, prove yourself to others, that's what you taught me, Luo Chuan, isn't it?"

Xu Xiaojin said quietly.

"..."

Luo Chuan was speechless for a moment.

Which idiot is digging their own grave?

"Can I stay with Darkmoon Sword?"

Xu Xiaojin's humble voice.

It's still coming in.

"I swear, from now on I will do as you say and I will never betray you, even if it means going against the whole world."

"It doesn't have to be that bad..."

Luo Chuan was drenched in sweat.

You can tell from Xu Xiaojin's eyes.

The girl was absolutely serious.

and so.

Luo Chuan must make a decision.

It was for the system's mission that Xu Xiaojin was asked to leave.

We should respect Xu Xiaojin's wishes and abandon the immediate fragments of cause and effect.

Luo Chuan did not hesitate for long.

"well……"

He scratched his head and glanced at the girl.

"If you stay with Darkmoon Sword, I'll make you work for me until you die."

Xu Xiaojin stared blankly at Luo Chuan.

The gloomy and oppressive atmosphere gradually faded, and tears welled up in my eyes again.

But this time it was joy and emotion.

The girl cried tears of joy.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun.

She smiled brightly and nodded emphatically.

"Yes, I do!"

[Goal achieved!]

Despite your relentless seduction, the woman of destiny has finally fallen, becoming a puppet for your wanton manipulation.

[The fragments of cause and effect have been distributed.]

……

Luo Chuan didn't know how he got home.

He took a cold shower and then lay down on the bed.

Exhausted, both physically and mentally.

It was even more exhausting than fighting to the death with the Devouring Apostles.

Xu Xiaojin ultimately remained with the Dark Moon Sword.

She underwent a transformation through the corrupting influence of a woman destined for good fortune, becoming a henchman of the villains.

Now, whenever I think of Xu Xiaojin's deep feelings for me...

Luo Chuan felt an urge to run away.

"This world is unbearable."

He opened the system.

The causal fragment was successfully obtained.

He had originally planned to continue living a peaceful life for a while longer.

Now his intuition tells him so.

There's still some time before the start of my junior year.

Run away as fast as you can.

Luo Chuan sent a message to Teacher Xiao Lin that he was going into seclusion.

Then, without waiting for Teacher Lin's reply, he turned off his phone.

It enters the system space directly.

whisper.

In the void of the universe.

The familiar system pop-up appeared before my eyes.

1. Return to the known world. (Requires causal fragments)

2. Unleash a brand new interpretation. (Requires 800 Destiny Points)

Luo Chuan chose to return.

Two more options then popped up.

One is Professor Rhodes's sorcerer world, and the other is other known worlds.

Professor Rhodes' situation is not much better than it is now.

"Why not go back to the Xuan Tian Sect, or perhaps the Royal Academy..."

Thinking of this.

Luo Chuan made his choice.

The golden divine light instantly engulfed him.

[The causal fragment has been used; searching for known worlds from which to regress...]

[Target world discovered, continuing the derailment...]

……

at the same time.

Something happened at the Supermarket Management Bureau in the capital.

The Shadow Demon, who was being held captive, inexplicably descended into a desperate madness.

The Sequencer Conference exists in an unknown territory.

An uninvited guest arrived.

All the mysterious figures looked at the newcomer in surprise.

"Who are you? How did you find this place?"

"Why don't we just ask the apostles?"

A soft laugh came from the darkness.

What appeared before them was a hazy figure shrouded in chaos.

The mysterious figure suddenly appeared.

"You are also an agent of some supreme being, but such power does not exist among the known twelve sequences."

"Because this is my first time in this world."

The Shadow of Chaos said meaningfully.

"I have no interest in you or your goals; I am only interested in your enemies."

"You may call me Sequence Zero—"

"Nyarlathotep".
