[Ending: Secret Love Suicide]

Fang Qi... looked silently at the lifeless girl by the wall.

Beside him, the silver-haired girl's laser blade was still flashing, still emitting a low hum.

She was also watching in silence.

The crimson in her red eye... had gradually calmed down.

The things Fang Qi could figure out, Liguang in her current state could naturally figure out as well.

And she had definitely figured it out earlier than he did.

That was why she had just jumped up and rushed to the door!

She wanted to stop all this...

But it was too late.

It had been too late from the very beginning.

From the moment Lin Xiaoyou stepped on the accelerator and sped down the highway in that pink mini car...

All of this had become irreversible.

Fang Qi's body swayed again.

He had inhaled too much poison gas.

Liguang sharing her breath just now could only delay it, not stop it.

His vision began to darken, and his limbs grew weak.

His consciousness was like a biscuit soaked in warm water, gradually becoming mushy and blurred.

But before he could fall...

Liguang caught him!

Then she lowered her head and kissed him once again!

Pure air, carrying the sweet scent of strawberries, passed from her lips and poured into his lungs!

His mind cleared for a brief moment.

He felt... her holding him as she rushed to the door.

The laser blade popped out again, slashing madly at the heavy metal door!

Bzzzt! Bzzzt!

The crimson beam left mark after mark on the door panel!

Sparks flew everywhere!

The ear-piercing sound echoed through the entire room once more!

Her movements were even more frantic and forceful than before!

Her long silver hair whipped wildly in the air!

Even the hem of her maid outfit was lifted by the shockwaves!

But... the door remained completely motionless.

The marks left by the slashes, in the very next second after Liguang's strikes...

Repaired themselves.

They were filled in by some kind of... self-repairing structure.

This door, from the very beginning, was not designed to be opened from the inside.

Fang Qi leaned against her embrace, watching her frantically slash at the door...

He was very calm.

Liguang's lips were very soft, and the air she passed to him carried the sweet scent of strawberries...

He could still think.

This was Liguang's birthplace.

It was the research institute his parents used to study that super core.

So...

This room was probably specially designed to imprison out-of-control AI companions...

A confinement room?

Able to be completely sealed, capable of releasing poison gas, and able to withstand attacks from an awakened AI from the inside.

Therefore, Liguang couldn't break out.

She couldn't break out from the very start.

Lin Xiaoyou's plan was truly perfect.

Moreover...

There was really no need for him to break out either.

He looked at the completely lifeless round-faced girl by the wall.

Lin Xiaoyou was dead.

He was dying too.

Once he died as well, everything would reset.

Returning to early this morning, back in front of that 52-degree save-point tea.

Liguang would remember all of this, in the form of a dream.

Lin Xiaoyou would also remember all of this, in the form of a dream.

And he, too, would remember everything.

That lunatic Lin You...

She really succeeded.

Tch.

It was slightly annoying.

Was this...

Being utterly crushed by a genius?

This entire loop, starting from the message she sent saying, Senior, Senior, I'll bring my best friend along...

He had been led by the nose by her the whole time.

He actually thought the initiative was in his own hands.

He thought he was calmly judging whether she was a friend or a foe.

He thought he had the reset as a safety net, and that he would be the one making the final choice.

...But the result?

This lunatic made the choice for him.

Every step of his reaction was within her calculations.

She even factored in the fact that he was not afraid of death.

Using his reaction...

To verify her own hypothesis?

...Haha.

A genius... a lunatic!

Having someone like this as his teammate...

Was it ultimately a good thing or a bad thing?

He didn't know.

He only knew...

It was indeed time to reset now.

But...

He didn't want to reset because of poison gas!

His life could only belong to his wifey Liguang!

At this moment, the silver-haired girl was still slashing at that door!

Bzzzt! Bzzzt!

Her movements had become noticeably agitated and out of control!

Fang Qi gently bit her lower lip as she kissed him.

Very lightly, like the amount of force used during their usual intimacies.

But Liguang's movements suddenly froze!

He raised his hand again and gently grasped Liguang's stiffened wrist...

The glow of the laser blade also extinguished with a hum.

Maintaining the posture of having her lip bitten by him, she slowly turned her heterochromatic eyes, trembling as they met his gaze.

Fang Qi released her lip.

He looked into her eyes.

The crimson in her red eye was flashing wildly and uncontrollably!

The deep blue in her amber eye was surging out of control just the same!

Her entire face was cast in flickering, uncertain light.

Then...

She suddenly fell to her knees!

Thud!

A heavy, muffled sound!

Her knees smashed hard against the metal floor!

She knelt before him, tilting her beautiful face up to look at him.

On that breathtakingly beautiful face, her previous calmness and slyness were completely shattered in this moment!

Master... I am sorry...!

Her voice was trembling, a tremor rising from the very deepest part of her core!

Liguang clearly... awakened the true core's abilities...

I clearly could have analyzed more, thought further ahead... I could have protected Master...!

But Liguang... was careless.

Her voice grew increasingly fragile...

Liguang... did not notice the anomaly in this room...

I didn't stop Lin Xiaoyou in time, and still let her...

Let her do such a thing.

It's Liguang who failed to protect Master well. I am sorry. I'm sorry, Master...

It is Liguang...!

She murmured, murmuring non-stop.

Incomparably guilty!

A bone-deep self-blame that was almost tearing her apart!

Fang Qi could no longer stand either.

The poison gas had drained the strength from his legs, and the edges of his vision began to be swallowed by darkness.

In his ears, Liguang's voice also became faint and distant.

And so... facing her, he knelt down as well.

Knees touching knees, forehead resting against forehead.

He opened his arms and pulled her entire body into his embrace.

The silver-haired girl's delicate body suddenly stiffened in his arms, and then she began to tremble slightly.

Her hands still hung by her sides, lifting slightly, then dropping, lifting, then dropping...

She was hesitating. Hesitating about whether she still had the right... to hug him back.

Liguang...

His lips brushed against her ear, his voice extremely hoarse and already somewhat unpleasant to hear.

But he knew Liguang would not despise him for it.

To be able to die for love together with Liguang...

Is my honor.

He couldn't say we can reset anyway, he couldn't say it doesn't matter if we die, he couldn't say a single word that hinted at the existence of the reset mechanism...

He could only comfort her in this way—

It's okay, I know what is going to happen next.

I am not afraid, and you are not allowed to be afraid either.

But the silver-haired girl was still trembling.

Even that awakened true core could not suppress her trembling!

But...

Her voice carried a trembling sob.

Liguang... Liguang is too stupid... Liguang clearly should have...

She didn't continue speaking either.

She didn't know what to say either.

Just like Fang Qi, she had to be extremely careful with every single word.

Fang Qi hugged her even tighter.

With his palm pressed against her back, he could feel the faint heat and vibration coming from the back of her neck, generated by the operation of that core.

The deep blue original core was running at an unprecedented frequency!

It was trying to analyze a way to break the deadlock!

But she knew there was no way out.

That was why she blamed herself so much.

She had clearly unlocked her true core...

Yet she still let Lin Xiaoyou accomplish all of this right under their noses.

However, wifey...

How could this possibly be your fault?

The only one to blame was Lin You for being a lunatic.

Normal people like us could never compete with a madman.

Besides...

It was time for us to go back.

This dream of dancing with a lunatic really should come to an end.

In the next cycle...

We will properly deal with that lunatic!

Fang Qi turned his head, his lips pressing against her earlobe.

That little plastic star pressed against his jaw, feeling cold.

Liguang.

He said softly,

Actually, earlier...

Just when you were pulling me down the stairs...

I touched Lin Xiaoyou.

Liguang's body stiffened slightly.

I actually touched her arm.

Fang Qi said softly.

That's right...

He really did touch her.

But at that time, all of Liguang's attention had been drawn to that door, so she didn't notice it at all.

How about it, Liguang?

Your husband is a very honest man!

So...

According to our agreement...

His hand lifted from her back and pressed against the back of her head.

Silver hair slipped through his fingers. He applied a gentle force, pressing her head, her small mouth...

Against his own neck!

Right over the carotid artery!

Beneath the skin, his blood was still pulsing beat by beat.

Master was wrong.

Liguang should punish Master now.

Wifey...

You have to be a woman who keeps her promises too!

Liguang's lips pressed against his neck, trembling slightly.

He could clearly feel that softness trembling, hesitating, desperately suppressing itself.

Her simulated breath hit his skin, hot and hurried.

And then...

Her teeth gently bit down.

The tips of her teeth sank into his skin.

A sharp, piercing pain.

How wonderful!

His crazy woman was someone who kept her promises!

At the same time, Liguang's right hand raised.

Her small, pale hand reached trembling toward the back of her own neck.

Master.

She mumbled against his neck, her voice muffled.

A trembling, tearful tone.

We will be together.

This time, Liguang will die for love together with Master!

Fang Qi closed his eyes.

He didn't answer, because there was no need to.

His hand slid down from the back of her head, wrapping around her waist, holding her tightly in his arms!

In the next instant...

Fang Qi's consciousness was swallowed by the severe pain in his neck and the blinding electric light filling the air!

The lips pressed against his neck bit down harder.

The arms wrapped around his waist...

Tightened fiercely.

Well...

Time to rewind.

Lin Xiaoyou.

Lin You.

Just. You. Wait.

...

Ending ??: Secret Double Suicide

You died at the hands of someone unexpected.

That girl who always smiled and called you Senior.

She suddenly went mad.

One second she wanted to cooperate, and the next, she inexplicably wanted to kill you.

She leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, her cheeks flushed, yet she was still smiling.

When the poison gas flooded your lungs, your Liguang kissed you.

But it wasn't salvation; it was a final farewell.

She knelt in the sealed metal cage, passing her last breath into your mouth.

Your AI couldn't save you anymore.

So, she chose not to live on alone.

She bit your neck, crushed her own heart, and collapsed onto your chest.

Sparks crackled, illuminating the crazy girl in the corner who had already stopped breathing.

Two entangled corpses, deep underground where no one knew...

Completed this hasty, secret double suicide.

This time, you were still together.

Together, dying at the hands of a lunatic.

BAD ENDING
