Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

"Are you kidding me!"

Li Yi's pupils constricted sharply, and her heart nearly jumped out of her throat.

"Could it be that I actually beat the boss today?"

"Or... am I destined to die here?"

In a short moment, countless thoughts surged through his mind, and he even silently wrote his will in his heart.

That move, "Nine Heavens Divine Mourning Rainbow," was already his most powerful trump card. If even that couldn't kill the "monster" before him—

Then he really had no other choice.

"well--"

Li Yi sighed softly, turning his gaze away from the white-haired girl and slowly turning to look at the ram still lying on the ground in the sheepfold, resting and recuperating.

"Brother Yang." His voice suddenly became solemn, as if he were making his final arrangements, "In this life, the person I, Li Yi, have wronged the most is you. In the next life, I will definitely repay this kindness to you."

"Baa—" The ram struggled to raise its head, tears welling in its eyes, its voice filled with reluctance, as if saying, "Brother Li, in this life, I haven't been able to leave you with a son or daughter. If there is an afterlife, I will still be with you."

"Okay." Li Yi nodded gently.

After speaking, he looked back at the white-haired girl sitting cross-legged on the rock, his eyes filled with a kind of resigned acceptance:

"Witch, I'm ready. Use whatever positions you like."

Then, he closed his eyes.

—Waiting for the impending devastation.

On Witch Star, due to the constant erosion of the game of desire, most creatures are extremely prone to becoming evil spirits with peculiar fetishes after death.

Among these, the most terrifying are the evil spirits with strong sexual desires.

They won't kill you directly, but will repeatedly ravage and exploit you until you are completely exhausted.

When Li Yi was still living in human society, he had witnessed a tragedy firsthand.

He was a male superhuman, exceptionally gifted in that area, and quite well-known in several nearby districts. Then one night, he was targeted by hundreds of male evil spirits simultaneously.

Those things didn't even spare the mouth, nostrils, ears, or navel.

The man, who was known as "indestructible," was tortured to death after only half an hour. After his death, his body was devoured by the evil spirits.

Even now, the image still sends chills down my spine.

And now, the same thing is happening...

It's about to happen to me.

"It's better to be dead, it's better to be dead," Li Yi murmured to himself, his tone revealing a hint of relief.

Anyway, he's had enough of this shitty, garbage world.

After death, one may be reborn once more.

This time, he didn't want to become a saint or follow any overpowered protagonist storylines. He just wanted to return to his original, ordinary world and quietly be a regular office worker from 8 to 5.

The moonlight, like water, spilled onto the rugged rocks.

The white-haired girl sat there quietly, listening to him say goodbye to the sheep and to his self-talk.

How could she not understand that it was her appearance that had frightened him?

After all, he was no different from a vengeful ghost now.

If there's anything she can do, it's probably that no vengeful ghost can beat her.

If I were that boy, I probably would have made the same choice.

Let's start with an absolute annihilation attack.

"You've misunderstood," Chu Ge said softly, her voice not loud, but clear enough to pierce the sea breeze. "I mean you no harm."

She paused, as if organizing her thoughts.

"My name is Chu Ge. I saw the firelight here on another island, so I came to see if anyone lived here, and also to find out what the Red Moon really is."

She finished speaking in one breath, without any hesitation.

I just hope that the boy can stop overthinking.

The girl's words drifted on the sea breeze and reached the ears of the boy who was still muttering to himself.

Then--

He was stunned.

An eerie silence descended upon the scene.

The only sounds were the distant waves crashing against the rocks and the crackling of firewood in the campfire.

After a long while, Li Yi slowly opened his eyes and stared at the white-haired girl opposite him for a long time.

"Are you really not a ghost?" he asked.

"No." The white-haired girl gently shook her head.

"Then why are you still alive?"

"Because my faith in the Way is eternal."

"Okay... then."

Li Yi understood.

Or rather, he chose to believe it for the time being.

After all, there are all sorts of birds in a big forest, so this isn't too outrageous. He just defiled Pleasant Goat; who would believe that if word got out?

After all, he has such a handsome, dashing, sunny, and upright face.

Okay, thinking about it carefully, almost everyone would believe this.

In this twisted world, things like lifespan are as normal as they come.

"Then you sit there for a while, I'll feed the sheep first."

Li Yi didn't forget her promise to prepare delicious food for Brother Yang and Sister Yang.

He himself hadn't eaten yet.

Ten minutes later, he finished feeding the sheep, ate a few bites himself, and then moved two homemade wooden stools to the campfire, gesturing for the white-haired girl to sit down.

After the other person sat down, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at that pale and strange face.

I still feel uneasy.

"Miss Chu," he began slowly, choosing his words carefully, "you don't even know what a red moon in the sky is, which means you're not from this world, is it?"

Having lived two lives, he was able to deduce a great deal of information from the other party's simple words.

"That's right." Chu Ge nodded, making no attempt to hide anything. "I come from a planet called Eternal Star. As for how I got here... I don't know either."

"Eternal Star..."

Li Yi murmured these three words, feeling as if she had heard them somewhere before.

But he couldn't remember it for the time being, and he didn't dwell on it too much.

Forget it, if I can't remember, I won't think about it anymore.

"About that red moon in the sky—"

The campfire cast the flickering shadows of the boy and girl on the ground.

Next, Li Yi told the girl everything he knew, word by word.

The night wind blew in from the sea, carrying a salty, fishy smell.

After a long while, his voice rang out again:

"Everything I know is here."

"Thank you," Chu Ge said softly.

She finally gained a basic understanding of this "new world".

After a pause, she seemed to remember something and asked again, "What was the game reward that the Witch of Desire mentioned earlier? Was it those red light particles?"

"Well--"

Li Yi suddenly turned her face to one side, her expression becoming somewhat subtle, as if she was too embarrassed to say it.

"You can understand it as... giving the living beings in this world a boost in virility and vitality."

"...I understand." Chu Ge nodded calmly. "Thank you."

Her naturally aloof expression remained largely unchanged as she slowly stood up, preparing to leave.

I already know everything I need to know.

There's no need to stay here any longer.

That way, I won't keep scaring people.

However, just as Chu Ge reached the seaside and was about to step onto the icy path—

"etc."

A boy's voice came from behind.

Chu Ge slowly turned her head and looked at him calmly.

Li Yi stood under the bright moonlight, the sea breeze blowing the hem of his clothes, casting a long, long shadow.

He didn't know why he called out to the other person.

He hadn't fallen for her—his tastes weren't so extreme as to be attracted to a "corpse."

Rather, it's because he's been living in seclusion on this island for too long.

It's been too long since I've seen a living person, and too long since I've spoken to anyone.

Compared to the world's abnormalities and crises, loneliness is the most terrifying thing. It's like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, slowly driving people crazy.

not to mention--

The girl in front of me also came from another world.

Although it wasn't reincarnation, it was still a "visitor from another world".

As fellow strangers in a foreign land, Li Yi felt a strange sense of kinship that was hard to explain.

If the other party hadn't said they came from Eternal Star instead of Blue Star, Li Yi would have almost guessed that they might have met somewhere before.

This is probably a common problem that even mature people can't avoid.

Sentimental.

"I'll see you off."

After saying that, Li Yi followed.

Chu Ge neither refused nor spoke, but simply walked quietly ahead.

A gentle sea breeze is blowing.

Under the moonlight, two figures, one in white and one in black, slowly moved forward on an ice road that seemed to have no end.

After a long pause, Li Yi suddenly spoke, his tone filled with unadorned sincerity:

"Chu Ge, we hit it off immediately. To be honest, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

He paused, then added:

"By the way, my name is Li Yi."

"Li as in Li Yi".

"Li Yi's Yi".
