This villain, please exercise some restraint.

The blond young man ignored the thin boy's noise. On the contrary, he stood up and took the hand of the white-haired boy next to him, his face still expressionless.

[“Devil, it’s time for us to leave.”]

[“I may not pursue your past sins, but your future, the moment you escape from this predicament, you must remember that your life belongs to me.”]

His voice was flat and he didn't even look at the thin boy, but the thin boy lowered his head in an instant.

【"Why, aren't you leaving yet?"】

The blond young man looked at the thin boy who lowered his head.

[“Go? Where to?”]

The thin boy slowly raised his head. He didn't know when those beings who were too beautiful to be real stood in front of him, separating him from the "world".

His voice was chilling and cold. Through the "human wall", Shi Si saw the thin boy's face full of reluctance and madness that was about to burst out.

[“Puppets, move!”]

The handsome men and beautiful women in front of the boy seemed to have received some orders and took action, rushing towards where the "world" was.

But all this seemed to be in vain, because there seemed to be an invisible force separating them. As soon as they got close, they were instantly turned into golden powder.

From beginning to end, the blond young man didn't even move a finger.

The thin boy stood in the center of the stage, seemingly not surprised by this.

He turned around and tried to escape, but in the next moment, he was dragged in front of the "world" in a dog-crawling posture by an invisible force.

【“You are not trustworthy enough.”】

The blond young man lowered his head, looked at the thin boy, and stated the facts.

The thin boy suddenly raised his head, but this time, his face was full of pleading.

He glanced at the white-haired boy that World was holding, and then looked back at World. [“Master World, you see, I gave you my most outstanding work voluntarily, and I think you have achieved your goal... I am really used to being alone. You asked me to work under you, and I—”]

His words were interrupted by "the world".

Then, a card was thrown in front of him.

[It wasn't me who chose you, it was this card that chose you. ]

The World said, "Otherwise, with what you have done, I don't know how many hundreds of times you will have to die to atone for your sins."

Shi Si took a look and saw that the card was called - Devil.

“Here.”

The blond young man ordered.

The thin boy looked angrily at the arrogant blond young man, and then reluctantly picked up the devil card in front of him.

The memories were interrupted here, Shi Si blinked, but found that this somewhat long memory seemed very short in reality.

The "world" merely took its hand away from his shoulder, seemingly unaware of what he had just seen.

"How can the world not exist? You are the world, standing right here. How can you just say you don't exist?"

Shi Si looked at the blond young man in front of him, and he found that the "world" in front of him was also looking at him.

"I used to think that the world would not be harmed, but I was hurt by the one I trusted the most. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

"I can't say it so absolutely right now."

The "Wheel of Fortune" looked at the "World", then looked at Shi Si beside it, and then, as if it realized something, it covered its mouth in surprise.

No way... couldn't it be what she thought... During the time she was asleep, Temperance... hurt the world?

Isn’t the thing the world trusts most… moderation?

If there's one more person, maybe it would be... a slightly crazy lover?

"What a sad story, but I think no one can be completely trusted. Perhaps your only shortcoming is that you are too gullible."

Shi Si said.

Although these fragments that inexplicably made him fall into memories seemed so inexplicable, but... for some reason, he seemed to be able to vaguely feel some... inexplicable connection.

Maybe... the "world" in my memories is the "world" in front of me, maybe...

He thought of the overly familiar attitude of "Wheel of Fortune" towards him, and the strange attitude of "The World" towards him. Everything... made Shi Si suddenly realize something very important.

Something... that would make him feel less conflicted.

That is, is there a possibility that he should choose to accept information from the outside world instead of rejecting it...because only by knowing enough can he make up for his blank memory.

Maybe... he will be Shi Si, he will be Jiezhi, or even the boy in the memory... who looks exactly like him but with a smile on his lips, or he will be... the child who stands on the stage, stands next to the piano, and is led away by the "world".

He has always been an independent existence, but he forgot, for some reason forgot the past and became what he is now... blank, knowing nothing...

The hand covered the heart.

Shi Si felt his heart beating a little faster... Was it because of this somewhat reckless guess? Or was it because this cognition... involved that name that made him feel inexplicably terrified?

He was a little confused.

But even though his mind was full of thoughts, he tried his best to maintain a calm expression.

The "world" stared at the expressionless boy, and after the silence, there was a very light sigh.

"Maybe you're right."

"It's just—if I don't even trust myself, who can I trust?"

He spoke the last sentence very softly, so softly that it seemed to have merged with the air.

"Ok?"

Shi Si frowned slightly, he didn’t quite hear what “the world” was saying just now.

"nothing."

The World smiled and said, “Sometimes I wonder if I have given up something too important, which has caused me to change.”

"Can I ask a question?"

The World suddenly asked, he was asking the boy in front of him, "If a guy feels that a certain emotion or ability is a burden to him, and at this time, there happens to be something that can help him separate these things that he feels he doesn't need..."

"Shi Si, do you think that after the separation, this guy will still be... the same person as before? Or, will he become... a more perfect him?"

The blond young man's expression was serious, so serious... as if he was a student who was sincerely seeking an answer.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer to this question, because what you said is beyond my understanding."

Shi Si paused briefly and then gave this answer.

But in his mind, he couldn't help but think of the boy who was always smiling and his slightly helpless words.

He said - Wheel of Fortune, please take these emotions away from me, I don’t want to experience sadness anymore.

For a moment, Shi Si seemed to have broken through the barriers of time and space, and as if in an illusion... he briefly sensed a trace of inexplicable... sadness.

That kind of sadness has no source, no target, no object... No, to be precise, the source of that kind of sadness comes from... oneself, and the object is also... oneself.

This seems to be an extremely selfish sadness, a sadness that is absolutely only about oneself...
