This villain, please exercise some restraint.

"So, Brother Shi Si, regarding the suggestion made by the 'world', do you have an answer? Or, what are you thinking about?"

"Wheel of Fortune" is holding the candy in its hand and is still asking this question.

She was sure that, at this moment, she cared more about...the advice about 'the world', the answers that Temperance could give, than the things that had happened and that she had missed.

She believes that the 'world' also wants an answer.

Because... this advice, to some extent, determines whether temperance will just live through this short life in a hurry, or -

The "Wheel of Fortune" couldn't help but clench the candy in its hand, and a look of determination flashed across its slowly lowered face.

No matter what, she doesn't want Jiezhi to disappear, so... she will help... brother Jiezhi, even if it will cost some... price.

"You mean, about the 'world' suggesting that I stay by his side to recover from my injuries, so as to avoid harm from the outside world..."

The Wheel of Fortune nodded and said, "Brother Shi Si, maybe you don't remember, but what I want to say is that since The World said this, then he must have no ill will towards you."

"In fact, he is protecting you."

"Maybe, he really is like he said. After spending so much time together, he really treats you as an equal and as... a friend."

"It's just that he has been 'the world' for too long, so long that no one knows why he appeared, why he became 'the world', how long he has lived, or even why he has such a powerful and unfathomable power."

“No one knows the past of the ‘world’, and no one knows what the future will be like, or what future it will lead us to.”

"Brother Shi Si, I always felt that the 'world' was missing something. I kept thinking and thinking, and then I found out -"

"Yes, I feel that the 'world' lacks some emotion, which is common to all races, but the 'world' does not have it. The 'world' is like a precision instrument that never changes, is inhumane, and always thinks in the most rational way. This instrument issues orders and operates, and always excludes all personal emotions."

"He doesn't consider the feelings and pain of others. He is even quite inhumane to the inheritor of the power of the Tarot cards. But it is undeniable that everything is well controlled by the 'world'."

"Just him standing there, just him sitting in the place that belongs to 'the world', is enough to make me... maybe everyone, feel at ease."

“So, later on, I thought, maybe it’s not that the ‘world’ is missing something, but that we have something extra. We have extra emotions, and these emotions will affect us.”

“Perhaps the reason why the world is what it is is not only because of his unfathomable abilities, but also because his decision-making is not hindered by emotions.”

"This means that his decisions are more...fair than those of any other existence. It also means that because he is inhumane enough, he will be misunderstood by many beings."

"But, Brother Shi Si, after waking up this time, I found that the 'world'... seemed to have changed. It became... more humane."

"This is something I have never seen in The World. Compared to his previous attitude towards you, it really is... more like treating you like a friend."

"You may think he is a little too high and mighty, but I think he has been high and mighty as 'the world' for too long, so that even the olive branch of goodwill is thrown out so... awkwardly."

"Wheel of Fortune" said a lot, these are all what she saw and felt. To be honest, she is not sure whether this change in the "world" is good or bad.

However, if the object of this change in attitude was her brother Jiezhi, she would be reluctant to think about the pros and cons.

Because she witnessed that Temperance was on the verge of death in front of her, she didn't want Temperance to be hurt again, so... if the 'world' is willing to provide shelter, that would be great.

What's more, the 'world' had also mentioned Temperance's current physical condition to her. Although it was very vague, it seemed... not optimistic.

She didn't understand what the slightly bitter-sounding "bad consequences" of moderation meant, but she could feel the fleeting emotion on the face of "the world" when he said this word.

"Do you consider me... a friend?"

The white-haired boy was silent for a moment, then his dark pupils looked into the distance.

"But... do I need friends? You said that I had been with him for a very long time. Are you sure that person was me? As far as I can remember, I never participated in what you were talking about."

"As for the changes in the 'world' you mentioned, I'm sorry, I have no way of perceiving them, and I have no impression of them at all. I... seem to be just an ordinary player, but the people I meet always think I'm another being."

"Wheel of Fortune, do you understand that feeling? That feeling... of being an independent individual, but being treated as another existence by others unilaterally and unquestionably... a shadow?"

"I even wonder... whether the kindness you have shown me, whether it's you or the 'world', which seems to be unrequited, is also because... you have seen the shadow of that existence in me?"

The white-haired young man said this with the corners of his lips slightly curved. He was clearly smiling, but there was no trace of a smile in his dark eyes.

"Wheel of Fortune, do you think I should care about these things? Should I care? Or should I feel at ease and regard myself as that existence, and then enjoy the convenience and danger brought to me by his existence without any burden?"

The Wheel of Fortune opened its mouth and said, "Brother Shi Si, why do you think so? The reason why The World and I treat you well is because... we are both very sure that you are you, not someone's shadow or a substitute for someone else."

"You just... just lost your memory temporarily for some reason. Once you remember everything, the questions you are confused about will be answered."

"So, Brother Shi Si, you don't need to have any... psychological burden."

"It's just that you showed kindness to the Wheel of Fortune a long time ago, and the Wheel of Fortune...returned you a small favor."

The girl said this with a sweet smile, and she stuffed the golden candy that she was holding in her palm into the slightly cool hand of the white-haired boy in a gesture that could not be refused.
