StarTie Simulation: Aren’t you NPCs?

Perhaps Wu Xuan still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He felt that the preference of "preservation" could really protect him, so he was so decisive and resolute.

He didn't intend to die in this battle. It would be too hasty.

After all...Wu Xuan is just an ordinary person, but he has had countless fantasies in his heart. He fantasized that one day he would be able to ride a dragon to save the princess; he fantasized that he would be able to stand in front of millions of people to guard a place; he fantasized that he would fly with a sword and look like an immortal.

He asked himself, if he and Silver Wolf just left like this and traveled the starry sea with Kafka, would this kind of life be good?

The answer is yes.

So...will he have any regrets?

The answer is yes. He will definitely have regrets. He will definitely think of them who are still in "Punk Lord" from time to time. For them...his and Silver Wolf's departure is tantamount to cutting off the fuel supply. The people here may be forever controlled by machines and lose their freedom forever.

But no matter what choice he makes, all he has to face is guilt.

If he chooses to save "Punk Lord", then the one he feels guilty about is Silver Wolf, and he is sorry for the girl who loves him; if he chooses Silver Wolf, then the one he feels guilty about is "Punk Lord".

Thinking from a purely rational point of view...he would definitely choose the one that would make him feel less guilty, and choose to save the world, but from an emotional point of view...he wanted to accompany her in traveling the starry sea, even if it meant giving up this world.

Wu Xuan looked at the huge "tuner" in front of him. It had only been a few seconds since he arrived here again. A myriad of thoughts ran through his mind, and time seemed to have been completely paused.

In the end, rationality overcame emotion. Although this rationality was not very pure, Wu Xuan ultimately chose the option that was most beneficial to him and that he considered to be the most valuable.

After all, this is a game, and the Silver Wolf in the game is not the real Silver Wolf. All this is not real, so why not... be a hero in the story for once? What's more, there is a reward that he cares about very much.

Thinking of this, he rushed towards "Tuning" without any hesitation, carrying a huge amount of unstable energy.

Just as his barrier was slowly breaking under the impact from both inside and outside, he suddenly remembered a sentence:

"Something is always better than others"

The freedom of human beings on a planet...is ultimately higher than one's own personal feelings.

This thought slowly fell into Wu Xuan's heart like a feather, and the power derived from "protection" completely erupted. This time it was not to protect someone, but to protect the future of mankind on a planet.

A violent energy fluctuation instantly annihilated the entire room, and the "tuning" gradually disappeared in this huge energy flow. The layers of mechanical shells and various circuits disappeared from this world bit by bit.

Not far from the core room, "K" saw three clones suddenly fall to the ground as if they understood something. The black and red flames on their bodies gradually faded, and his originally black hair instantly turned pale at this moment.

He slowly sat down on the ground, feeling his remaining vitality gradually slipping away under the blade of time. Then he turned his head and looked at the flow of energy rolling towards him, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

In that energy flow...he saw a woman with long black hair.

At this moment, time seemed to be suspended for him.

He looked at her, and the longing in his heart became clearer and clearer, and he was also very glad... "Tuning" did not have her data and could not copy her to fight him.

The white-haired man sitting on the ground slowly raised his head and looked at the black-haired woman in front of him who was still in the white dress, with a reminiscent smile on his face.

When the woman saw him smiling, she also smiled happily and stretched out her hand to him, then said softly: "Kremerli...thank you for your hard work."

He shook his head with great effort, and then said softly: "It's not hard... not hard at all..."

He was silent for a moment, and then he spoke slowly in the softest voice in the world:

"Just... missed you a lot."

After saying this, he placed his hand on those white and soft hands.

As the two pairs of hands touched each other, time seemed to resume its flow, and he who stretched out his hand towards somewhere was instantly swallowed up by the violent energy flow, and disappeared into nothingness along with this floor that did not exist in the elevator display.

He did not die, but followed his lover to some pure land and returned to his own little home.

In "Company C", "Wu" looked at the machines around him that were paralyzed in an instant, as if he understood something. After instinctively checking that there was no other danger around him, he slowly walked to a stone pillar and sat down. He took out a cigarette from the slightly dented cigarette box, used the power of "Hunting" to ignite the flame, and lit it for himself.

He smoked silently, as if he was feeling something.

After sitting on the ground in silence for a moment, he slowly raised the long knife in his hand, which had a few cracks on it, and chopped it hard on the ground a few times, leaving two words:

--goodbye.

Then, he slowly left "Company C" with a cigarette in his mouth, walked towards the yellow sand, and walked towards the wasteland that was not suitable for human survival.

The reason was simple...he didn't want his students to see his miserable condition.

He was already in his thirties and almost forty years old... Burning his life was no joke. Since he had chosen to burn his life... from that moment on he had no intention of going back alive.

"But...I feel sorry for that girl...I broke my promise again."

His figure was gradually swallowed up by the wind and sand, and even the footprints on the ground gradually disappeared, as if all this was arranged by him.

He was like a lone wolf king, unwilling to let others see the ugly scene of his death. He hoped... to live in the hearts of others.

——Just like a legendary wolf king.

Not long after "Wu" left, the purple tassel that always followed the silver streamer came over quickly. Looking at the mechanical wreckage scattered in the hall on the first floor, her heart gradually became hanging.

She didn't see the person she was looking for.

Until...she saw the two words on the ground and the cigarette box with only one cigarette left.

She seemed to understand something, yet seemed unable to accept this fact.

She squatted down slowly and took the cigarette box in her hands with trembling hands. The moment she picked it up, the cigarette box seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and instantly crushed her body. She, who was originally half-squatting on the ground, fell directly to her knees.

She looked at the two powerful characters and slowly placed the cigarette box on her chest. She slowly closed her eyes and two lines of tears slowly flowed down her cheeks.

She cried silently and commemorated silently.

She understood that the teacher she loved, the Mr. Bai she loved... would never come back.

He knew what he felt, and he knew that she would rush to him as soon as everything was over.

But...he didn't want to expose his ugly appearance in front of her, so he left early.

She couldn't imagine how he dragged his exhausted body out of here bit by bit, and she couldn't imagine...how much he paid for this battle.

Yes, they won, but she lost.

......

In stark contrast to "Wu"'s departure, "Qi" who was fighting in "Company B" dragged his wounded body and slowly sat down on the steps at the gate, and at one point wanted to lie down and take a nap.

But he knew...he couldn't just fall asleep like this, because once he fell asleep he might never wake up.

He knew very well that they had won. Although he didn't know what price Wu Xuan and the others had paid, they really won. They won this struggle that was not favored in the beginning.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a vague outline appeared in the distance. The owner of the outline seemed to have seen "Qi" sitting on the steps at the door, so he suddenly sped up and rushed towards the young man in front of him.

Perhaps because the wound on "Qi"'s body was still bleeding, his vision was slightly darkened. It was not until the moment when that figure threw himself into his arms... that he realized who it was.

It was the "弎" that he thought had left him.

There were tears in the girl's brown eyes. She raised her head and looked at "Qi" in front of her, then quickly pulled him up, using her frail body to support the wounded boy back to the base bit by bit.

"Does it hurt..." the girl asked with a slightly crying voice while supporting him.

"It doesn't hurt."

"By the way...when shall we..."

"do not talk..."

The girl's brown eyes flashed a hint of disappointment for a moment, but the boy's next words surprised her.

"When my injury heals, we will officially begin our story."

......

At the same time, in the underground research institute of "Company A", "A" looked at the mechanical wreckage all around him and smiled slightly. There was still a light flashing in his fiery red eyes, which formed a sharp contrast with his pale face.

The blood splattered on the ground and walls already foreshadowed his end.

He slowly sat down against the wall of the laboratory, sighed slightly and said: "It's just that I'm getting old... Plus this crappy place is too small, there's no way to stretch my arms and legs..."

He slowly stretched out his hand, and manipulated the etheric matter around him to construct medical supplies such as bandages and gauze, and then lightly bandaged the wounds of varying sizes on his body.

But he knew very well that unless "Si" arrived immediately, these things could only delay his death but could not bring him back from the brink of death.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes calmly. For him...he really had no regrets. The only regret was that he could not continue to quarrel with someone.

"We've been quarreling for nearly twenty years... How come we've developed feelings for each other after all this quarreling..." "A" muttered to himself while leaning against the wall.

"You... Chi Mengxi, why did you have to choose me when you could choose anyone else? Now I have to stay here for a while longer. I'm really tired... I really want to rest..."

However, just as he finished speaking, a flurry of female voices came into his ears.

"An He?! An He?! Where are you?! Say yes!"

Hearing this familiar voice, a smile appeared on "A"'s pale face, and then he said softly: "I'm here..."

Almost at the same time he said this, "Q" appeared in front of him. The woman who had almost no good expression in his memory before was now extremely anxious, looking at him sitting in a pool of blood, at a loss what to do.

"How did you get into this state?! Get up!" "Q" said as she tried to help the man in front of her up, but she found...she couldn't seem to help him up no matter what.

"Meng Xi... don't waste your time. Even if the two of us rush back... and find "Si", I won't be able to live for long."

"A" tried hard to force a pale smile at the woman in front of him, but it seemed that the woman did not appreciate it. Instead, she tried hard to help him up, as if she wanted to make a final struggle.
