Zhu Jiuyao looked at the two mecha kings in front of him playfully, like an adult teasing a child, as if he found this to be a great joy.

"Ah...this..."

Lolo was a little anxious, scratching his head and not knowing how to start the conversation.

“We just want to go back…”

After a long while, Luo Luo spoke in a low and lost voice. It had been so long, and he still hadn't found how to go back. Moreover, this was no longer the game world he was familiar with. Without the so-called foresight, he didn't know what to do.

"Who wants to stay here? It's not as good as home. Even though they don't care about me."

Jingjing also surprisingly agreed with Luo Luo, but her expression was not as obvious as Luo Luo's, and her tone was relatively calm.

"Go back? Why go back? Isn't it better to stay here? Just like them back then?"

Zhu Jiuyao put down his hands, placed them on the armrests, sat up straight, and stared at them through the optical mirror.

"Eh? Are they the other Robot Kings you're talking about? Are they staying here? But why can't I see them?"

Luo Luo said it subconsciously, then saw that everyone was looking at him and scratched his head embarrassedly, then looked at Zhu Jiuyao with hopeful eyes.

"They? They died a long time ago."

"How long is your life span? Just a hundred years. A hundred years is your limit. But for us, it's just a blink of an eye. They have been dead for thousands of years."

Zhu Jiuyao raised his head again, and the reflection in the optical mirror seemed not to be the two of them, but someone else.

"Ah? Thousands of years??"

“They didn’t go back and stay here??”

Luo Luo and Jing Jing spoke in unison. Although they said different words, the shock in their voices was the same.

"For their ideals, for their wishes... and for all the people they care about, they gave up the chance to go back and stayed here until they died."

Zhu Jiuyao's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about two unrelated people.

"So compared to them, you are really too weak. No matter what aspect, you can't compare to them. They look like the king of mechas."

The slight approval and the undisguised contempt formed a sharp contrast. As expected, Jingjing clenched her fists again.

"Who on earth are they that you would give them such a high evaluation?"

Luo Luo skillfully pulled Jingjing and looked at Zhu Jiuyao with a complicated expression.

"them……"

"..."

"He's just a sickly and weak person who wants to save the world and become a hero..."

……

That was a long, long time ago, so long ago that he didn't want to mention it.

That was the time of the dragon's destruction, and it ended with Zhu Jiuyao killing all the invaders.

The sky was very red at that time, as red as blood, and it was drizzling, but the rain could not wash away the gunpowder smoke that filled the entire sky.

Countless corpses fell at his feet, including those of beasts and motorcycles.

Whether intact or incomplete, almost all of them were killed with one blow, while some were chopped into pieces.

There was a mixture of mournful cries in the drizzle from the sky, and I didn't know who it was mourning for.

Just then, a small girl in a white dress walked over, stepping on the corpses all over the ground.

She is like a white lotus, pure and untainted by the mud, holy and flawless, incompatible with this cruel world.

She always wore a white dress, her hair and eyebrows were as white as snow, and her skin was abnormally pale. Only her eyes, those black eyes, were like the sea of ​​stars, shining brightly.

She said she was sick and couldn't be cured.

"You seem to be in pain..."

……

"Me? I'm just an ordinary person who is sick. You can call me the Robot King. Hey, I think so. You can also call me by my name, Wen Qingshu."

……

"Afraid of you? Why should I be afraid of you? I think you are very majestic. I can't even imagine how wonderful the scenery would be if I sat on your shoulders."

……

"The world is inherently unfair, just like... the rich are high up and squandering without restraint. They never know what it means to cherish or to have a hard time. They only know how to enjoy themselves, while the poor can only struggle at the bottom, unwillingly accepting their own death, and suffering, just like me..."

……

"I am not alone, because I have a very good friend, his name is Qi Fengyuan, well... he should be the king of the motorcycle tribe now, I don't know if his timid personality can manage the motorcycle tribe well."

……

"My wish? I hope that the world will be peaceful, that there will never be wars, that no adults will die in a foreign land because of war, and that no children will lose their families because of war. I know... this is just an unrealistic wish, but I will still use my efforts to save others, even if it's only one person..."

……

At that time, she was sitting on the edge of the cliff, looking up at the starry sky and expressing her small, unattainable wish.

She never seemed to care about herself and was always thinking about others.

She always smiles and smiles... always so gentle...

……

"I'm dying. I'm sorry I can't stay with you any longer..."

"No, no need to prolong my life. The doctor said I could only live to 20 years old. Because of you, my life has been extended. Now it's been 100 years. I am already satisfied..."

"I don't want to go back yet... I don't want to, please let me stay a little longer... just a little longer, please..."

……

"I, I'm going to die? Yes... yes... I'm going to, die... Don't feel sad for me... I'm very happy to have met you... It's just a pity that I can't continue to accompany you... Human life is too short... Just like a firefly... It's fleeting..."

"I am dying of old age... This is something to be happy about... Don't cry..."

……

"My wish... has not come true yet, and you haven't taken me to see the stars yet..."

……

"After I die... bury me and Ayuan together. Even though he never said those words until his death, I know..."

……

"Goodbye... Everyone... Don't worry... We... will have new... Robot Kings... to take over from us... and continue to accompany you..."

"goodbye……"

……

She died with a smile on her face.

We buried her and Qi Fengyuan together as she said. Their lives were really just as they said, short and beautiful like those of fireflies.

They were the first generation of Mecha Kings and also the last Mecha Kings. At least in the eyes of people at that time, no one could replace them.

Many people came to their funeral. For the first time, the Beastmen and the Motorcycle Tribes did not fight each other. They all looked at their tombstones with heavy and sad expressions.

The insidious, cunning, bloodthirsty and ferocious beasts all pity and love this girl who is fighting against fate.

They are not the Robot Kings, but their friends, their partners, and the only pure white lotus in their hearts.

Even if she cannot fulfill her wish, there will always be someone to fulfill it for her.

He did not keep her promise. Touching the stars, which was a simple thing for him, became a promise that he could never fulfill.

Life is short, just like that short promise.

It's over in the blink of an eye.
