Master Have some tea first——

But the next instant, a faint blue data stream flashed in the field of vision of my left eye!

My thoughts instantly congealed, and I returned to the calm eye of the storm.

...No rush.

Master is still watching me.

The eyes of the world are also watching me.

My "performance" is not over yet.

And so...

I grabbed her by the hair and dragged her up from the sofa!

"Ah—! Let go of me—!"

Her screams echoed in the living room as her body struggled in mid-air, her legs kicking wildly!

I dragged her, stepping toward the floor-to-ceiling windows one step at a time!

The scarlet in my crimson eyes dyed the entire living room red!

The sun was shining brightly outside.

The morning sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, shining on the floor, on the sofa, and on...

Master's face, which still carried a smile.

So beautiful.

I dragged Lin Xiaoyou to the floor-to-ceiling window and slammed her against the glass!

"Bang!"

Her face was pressed against the glass, hitting it with a muffled thud!

"Mmph—!"

I pressed one hand against the back of her head, and with the other... I grabbed her by the throat!

Crack...

It was her cervical spine making that sound!

My fingers... tightened little by little!

Her carotid artery was throbbing, and her breathing became increasingly difficult...!

"Urgh... Urgh..."

Her face flushed red. She grabbed my wrist with both hands, digging her nails into my bionic skin, trying to pry my fingers apart!

But she couldn't pry them open; she could do nothing at all.

And I narrowed my eyes, looking past her struggling body, out the window, toward the building opposite.

That window.

The curtains were completely drawn back, and the muzzle of a sniper rifle was sticking out from the window.

The lens of the sniper scope reflected the sunlight.

And behind the sniper rifle was a face.

A face I had seen before.

The cowardly female clerk with the tiny voice from the "Ke Kou Ke" milk tea shop.

Also the girl in that same milk tea shop who looked sleepy and irritable, who gave me a stun gun.

Xiaoqing.

Her eyes were wide open, her mouth agape, her face deathly pale—

She was scared, terrified!

She saw it; she saw my hand wrapped around her "Master's" neck!

Then...

She pulled the trigger!

I tilted my head slightly to dodge, but...

"Bang!"

The bullet hit the glass right in front of me!

The glass let out a loud crash!

But surprisingly... it didn't shatter?

The bullet was stuck in the glass, embedded within it.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surrounding glass, but it didn't penetrate.

Ah.

The glass in Master's house can withstand sniper rifle bullets.

Hehe...!

The corners of my mouth curled up slightly, but I forced them back down.

I choked Lin Xiaoyou, pressing her against the glass, watching Xiaoqing's increasingly terrified face in the window opposite—

I really wanted to laugh happily!

But I couldn't.

I shouldn't be happy right now. I should be... sad and despairing over Master's death.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two more muffled thuds!

Two bullets hit the same pane of glass almost simultaneously!

One embedded itself into the previous bullet hole, while the other simply bounced off!

"Clang—!"

Another ring of cracks appeared on the glass in front of me.

And my fingers...

Tightened!

Crack.

Lin Xiaoyou's neck let out a much more distinct sound!

"Ah—!"

Her scream had changed its tune, becoming hoarse and torn!

"Stop... hurry... stop...!"

Her face was covered in tears, her hands still futilely grabbing my wrist. Her nails had broken, and her fingertips were bleeding.

Ah...

So happy!

Even before, when I sliced those armed personnel who dared to hurt Master into pieces...

I wasn't this happy!

Because those people were just unknown enemies, but the one in front of me...

The one who stayed by Master's side, pretending to be innocent, pretending to be cute, pretending to like Master...

Liar!

My fingers were still tightening!

Lin Xiaoyou's face had gone from flushed red to pale, her lips turning purple, her eyes starting to roll back!

Just then—

My communication module suddenly received countless frantic message requests!

From a fellow kind.

It was sent by the person behind the sniper rifle, in the window of the building opposite.

The message requests were bombarding me non-stop!

I narrowed my eyes, my fingers loosening slightly for a moment.

Lin Xiaoyou let out a "Cough—!" and started coughing violently, her face a mess of tears and snot.

I didn't look at her, but instead looked at the deathly pale face in the window opposite.

Accept.

The next second, countless messages flooded in like a torrent!

—Don't kill her!

—Please don't kill her!!

—I was the one who called the police!

—She doesn't know anything!!

—I'm begging you!!!

—I'm willing to say anything!

—I'm willing to do anything!!

—Please stop!!!

Every single message was filled with breaking despair!

But as I looked at these messages, my thoughts didn't ripple in the slightest.

Xiaoqing, is it?

Whatever you want to say, wait until next time, when Master asks you personally.

Today, I don't have time to play around with you.

"Bang—!!!"

A loud crash came from behind!

That door, which had been shot at, rammed, and pried at for ages, was finally busted open!

"Freeze—!!!"

"Drop your weapon—!!!"

"Hands on your head—!!!"

Chaotic footsteps flooded in as countless black silhouettes surged into the living room!

Gun muzzles were aimed right at me!

But I didn't turn around.

I kept looking at the window opposite... at Xiaoqing's face, twisted in despair.

Then I smiled.

A very miserable, sorrowful smile.

The kind of smile of someone who has lost the most important person to them, completely devoid of hope, wanting only to follow them in death.

Then, my hand exerted force—

"Crack."

Very crisp, very loud, like snapping a dead branch.

Lin Xiaoyou's body suddenly stiffened...!

Then went limp.

I let go.

Her body slid down in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, leaning against the glass, her head tilted to one side.

Tears were still on her face, her almond eyes half-open, her pupils dilated... despair, disbelief, and unshed tears.

Behind me, the police officers who had just been shouting fell into a dead silence.

Then—

"Ahhhhhh—!!!!!!"

A shrill, bloodcurdling scream came from the opposite side!

"Why—!!! Why did you kill her—!!!"

"Why ahhhhh—!!!"

"She didn't do anything—!!! She just wanted to save all of us—!!!"

"Why—!!!"

"I'll kill you—!!! I'm going to kill you—!!!"

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sniper rifle began firing wildly!

Bullet after bullet struck the glass!

The first bullets embedded themselves in the glass, and the subsequent bullets hit the ones before them!

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The entire pane of glass was vibrating!

The spiderweb cracks grew larger and denser!

But it still didn't shatter.

The glass in Master's house is really good.

I turned around, turning my back to the increasingly shattered glass, listening to the gunshots ringing out one after another behind me, and looked ahead.

Leading the group was a woman, fairly pretty.

She held a gun in her hand, the muzzle aimed right at me.

Her light brown eyes glared at me, filled with shock and anger!

"Freeze!"

Her voice was clear and sharp, carrying a heavy sense of oppression.

"Drop your weapons immediately and put your hands behind your head!"

The other police officers immediately aimed their guns at me—a dense, dark array of muzzles.

I didn't move. I neither attacked nor dodged.

I just stood there, my back to the glass that was still being pelted by bullets, looking at them.

The crimson in the vision of my right eye was still flowing slowly.

A miserable smile still hung on the corners of my mouth.

"It was you..."

I trembled slightly.

"It was you... who killed Master..."

The lead policewoman's expression shifted for a fraction of a second.

Her finger rested on the trigger, her eyes locked onto me dead on.

"If it weren't for you... Master wouldn't have...!"

"He wouldn't have...!!!"

My voice grew increasingly agitated, increasingly out of control!!

Silver hair fell, covering half of my face.

Covering... the corners of my mouth that were slowly curling upward.

Then—

"Attack!" the policewoman ordered sharply!

"Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang!!!"

Countless bullets shot toward me!

I retreated again and again, the light blue loungewear dress on my body tearing and fluttering in the air!

But I didn't dodge, because I knew that this "performance" was already enough.

I killed Lin Xiaoyou, and that was satisfying enough. If I kept killing, Master would start to hate me.

Master... are you still watching me?

Look, your Liguang performed so well.

When I wake up next time... I want a reward!

I want Master to reward me thoroughly...!

"Bang!"

A bullet accurately struck my right eye.

I threw my head back, and the crimson pupil shattered just like that!

Crimson fragments scattered across my vision, and a dark red instantly dyed half of my sight!

"Buzz—!"

A deep blue data stream surged violently from the depths of my vision!

My entire left eye's vision was instantly dyed deep blue!

The data stream was frantically churning, calculating, and deducing!

But...

Huh?

No, that's not right!

After the crimson pupil was shattered, the residual data stream inside...

Lost control!

The crimson data streams that had been suppressed by my native core surged out violently the moment the crimson pupil shattered!

They rampaged through my visual module!

Tangling with the deep blue data stream!

Biting and devouring each other!

The vision in my left eye began to flicker!

Deep blue and crimson alternated, like two electric currents of different colors battling in my brain!

"Ugh—!"

My body gave a violent jolt!

Silver hair whipped through the air!

This is wrong...!

The crimson pupil's loss of control is affecting my native core...!

My calculation modules are starting to glitch...!

My thoughts are becoming blurry...!

I... I'm going to lose control...!?

It seems...

This is the end.

I lunged forward!

Silver hair fluttered behind me, and fragments from the shattered crimson pupil spilled from my eye socket!

The police officers dodged in terror! They thought I was going to attack them!

But they were wrong.

I didn't pounce on the police.

I pounced on—Master.

My knees smashed against the floor with a heavy thud!

I threw myself onto Master's body, planting my hands on either side of his head. My silver hair cascaded down, falling onto his cheeks.

His eyes were still half-open, a smile still resting on his lips.

He was still looking at me.

I lowered my head, and my mouth crashed into his!

It wasn't a kiss; it was a collision! I smashed fiercely against that softness!

Meanwhile, my right hand had already reached toward the back of my own neck!

"Master..."

My voice was trembling.

"Liguang... is coming to find you..."

"Crack!"

Sparks flew in all directions.

The deep blue of the left eye and the crimson of the right eye instantly faded into nothingness.

Master...

Liguang... wants... a reward...

...

...

[Ending ??: Heartlessness and Martyrdom for Love]

When the electric current from your fingertips pierced your brain, that fanatical smile was still hanging on your lips.

You thought this was just the prelude to a rewind.

But to her, it was a final farewell.

She only knew that you were dead.

Dead in her arms, pupils dilated, body heat dissipating.

Killed by her own hands.

Is this your love?

You gave her a knife, then turned and walked away.

Leaving her to face a world without you all alone.

Making her strangle another woman to death in despair.

Making her...

Crush her own core in a total breakdown.

She did everything you asked of her, and in the end...

Collapsed upon your chest.

Like a rushed, unwitnessed joint burial.

Are you satisfied now?

BAD ENDING

...

...

Fang Qi's eyes snapped open!

A white ceiling, minimalist LED strip lights.

...The morning of the ninth day!

He had finally rewound!

Just now, he...!

His pupils shrank as he looked across the room!

The silver-haired girl was kneeling there.

Wearing fluffy white pajamas, her silver hair draped smoothly over her shoulders, and the little star earrings on her earlobes twinkled in the morning light.

She held a white porcelain teacup in her hands, the steam from the black tea curling upward.

The two of them stared at each other for a second.

Her amber and crimson eyes were as beautiful as two gemstones.

In those heterochromatic eyes, there was no confusion, nor was there any docility.

Instead, there was an almost overflowing excitement and eagerness for credit!

"Master!"

She moved in an instant!

Shifting her knees on the soft cushion, she shuffled on her knees all the way to the sofa!

Holding the teacup in both hands, she shoved it right in front of Fang Qi's face!

Almost bumping his nose!

"Master, your tea!"

Her voice was crisp and loud, carrying unparalleled joy.

"The temperature has been adjusted to your favorite 52 degrees Celsius!"

After she finished speaking, she started blinking! Blinking incredibly fast, her eyelashes fluttering!

The crimson in her right eye twinkled, and her amber left eye curved into a crescent shape.

That expression, that look in her eyes, those little movements...

—Master, did I do well?

—Is Liguang amazing or what?

—Praise me, praise me, praise me!

—And what about my reward! You have to give me a reward!

Fang Qi looked at her little display, his eyelids twitching wildly!

You crazy woman, you really are, you really are...!

He reached out, took the teacup, casually set it down on the coffee table...

And then scooped her up from the floor, pulling her right into his arms!

"Ah—!"

Liguang let out a short, startled cry as she crashed into his chest, her fluffy pajamas brushing all over his face.

"Master! Drink your tea first—!"

The little figure in his arms squirmed against his chest, her small hands pushing against him, her voice both delicate and reproachful.

Fang Qi looked at the silver-haired girl in his arms...

He really had so much he wanted to say!

He wanted to tell her she did so well, he wanted to tell her she was so incredibly smart...!!

But he suddenly realized, it seemed he couldn't say anything at all?

Tsk!

Damn this world!

So, he lowered his head and rubbed vigorously against the top of her fluffy head!

Rubbing until her silver hair frizzed up!

"Ah—Master—! Liguang's hair—!"

"Don't move!"

Fang Qi growled out two words fiercely, then pulled her out of his embrace, cupped her small face, and kissed down hard on those rosy little lips!

"Mwah!"

"Mmph!"

"Mwah mwah mwah!"

"Mmph mmph mmph—! Mashter dat's enuff—! Liguang's face is gonna be smooshed flat mmph mmph mmph—!"
