Fang Qi stared at the figurine in his hand, which was still giving off a faint red glow, and remained silent for quite some time.
The light in Liguang’s scarlet eye flickered on and off in his palm.
…Beautiful.
Even as a figurine, Liguang was beautiful.
He walked over to his gaming desk and carefully placed the figurine on its surface.
The figurine of Liguang sat there on her knees.
Her long silver hair fell over her pale-blue home dress. She held a tiny white porcelain teacup in both hands and smiled at him.
Her scarlet eye was still glowing, the crimson light flickering faintly.
Fang Qi pressed his lips together, reached out, and flipped the switch at the back of the figurine’s neck.
Click.
The scarlet light went out.
Her eyes returned to their gentle amber and crimson colors. Quiet and obedient, they gazed at him.
Phew…
That was better.
He let out a soft breath.
Those glowing eyes had been making him a little nervous.
He pulled out his gaming chair and sat down. Then he reached out and pressed the power button on his computer.
Bzzzz—
The RGB fans inside the case lit up instantly.
As the computer booted, one main monitor and four auxiliary screens came to life, illuminating the entire dim room.
And as the desktop appeared…
Fang Qi’s heart skipped a beat.
Because…
His desktop wallpaper was a silver-haired, heterochromatic-eyed girl with a smile on her face.
She wore a sun hat and a white dress that billowed in the wind. One hand held down her hat while the other covered her skirt, and she was smiling so happily.
Fang Qi stared at it, momentarily dazed.
It was Liguang.
It seemed that no matter which world line he was in, he still liked Liguang this much.
This image…
Which ending’s CG was it again?
Which one…?
Regardless, someone had actually set it as the desktop wallpaper.
At the same time, he saw an all-too-familiar icon on the desktop.
That…
The icon of the silver-haired, heterochromatic-eyed girl smiling in profile.
The icon for the galgame he had played for a full 312 hours: My Yandere Mechanical Wife.
And now, it was lying quietly on his desktop.
Fang Qi stared at the icon, his eyes trembling slightly.
…What a strange feeling.
So strange.
He was supposed to have transmigrated into this game, right?
He had crossed over into this world.
And then…
He had seen this game again in this world?
A game within a game?
The feeling was simply too strange.
It was as if he were clearly dreaming, only to enter another dream within it.
Layer upon layer, and yet every layer…
Bore the same name:
Liguang.
Fang Qi slowly calmed his racing heart.
It was strange, but it also felt kind of nice.
He focused on the screen again, his eyes gradually sharpening.
No matter what…
This game had to be a clue.
So he stopped hesitating and double-clicked the icon.
The screen went black for an instant. Then…
A logo appeared right in the center.
Fang Qi narrowed his eyes.
A familiar logo.
The first ray of sunlight at dawn piercing through the clouds.
Simple and clean.
It was the emblem of Chenxi Corporation, the global leader in the field of AI.
But immediately afterward, the game entered its title screen.
Fang Qi’s eyes widened slightly.
Ah…
Now this was familiar.
A simple, minimalist sci-fi-style room.
Pure-white walls, concealed light strips, and an exquisite white coffee table.
Across from the coffee table, a silver-haired girl was kneeling. She held a white porcelain teacup in both hands, wisps of steam curling from its rim…
And she was smiling at him.
The option menu, save interface, CG gallery…
Fang Qi looked at the screen, momentarily lost in thought.
…It was exactly the same.
Exactly the same as the version he had played before transmigrating…
Completely. Identical.
Even the background music was the same song.
For a moment, he felt dazed.
He nearly thought he had simply dreamed a long, drawn-out dream.
And now, the dream had finally ended.
He—the shut-in who loved playing games…
Could only sit in front of the Liguang in the game and stare blankly.
Fang Qi’s breathing quickened slightly.
His chest felt tight.
This was what he feared most.
He was terrified that one day, he would wake up again only to find himself sitting at his computer desk, staring blankly at a game he had already completed.
That would be too terrifying.
Far too terrifying…
However…
Fang Qi took a deep breath and looked at the Liguang figurine on his desk.
Under the glow of the screen, the figurine’s gentle amber eyes seemed to ripple with light.
The Liguang figurine kneeling on his desk reminded him that this was not a dream.
And his calm, rational mind was also telling him…
He still possessed Liguang’s authority.
This. Was. Not. A. Dream!
Liguang’s authority had remained with him the entire time!
Fang Qi took several deep breaths and steadied his emotions.
Then he tightened his grip on the mouse…
And clicked “Start Game”!
The instant he clicked, the option menu suddenly disappeared, and the silver-haired girl in the background…
Moved.
She gently pushed the tea toward him and smiled warmly.
“Master, your tea.”
Her soft, ethereal voice was mixed with a smooth electronic tone.
“The temperature has been adjusted to your preferred 52 degrees Celsius.”
Fang Qi stared blankly at the silver-haired girl on the screen.
The name field displayed [???].
Those amber-and-crimson heterochromatic eyes gazed gently and quietly at him from beyond the screen.
The obedient smile at the corners of her lips was one he could never forget for the rest of his life.
“…Liguang?”
He spoke without thinking.
“Is that you?”
His voice trembled slightly.
“Are… are you in there?”
But the silver-haired girl on the screen did not move at all. Only the tea on the coffee table continued to give off steam.
Fang Qi: “…”
Fine.
He stared at the image and clicked the mouse once.
Click.
Four options immediately popped up!
Fang Qi looked closely:
[1. Drink the tea and praise her for making it well.]
[2. Don’t drink the tea yet. Chat with the silver-haired girl in front of you first.]
[3. Scold the silver-haired girl for getting the temperature wrong and tell her to get lost and make it again.]
[4. Ask the silver-haired girl: Who are you?]
…Ah.
Fang Qi raised his eyebrows slightly.
A very strange feeling suddenly welled up inside him.
Familiar options. So familiar!
…I really missed this.
He thought back to the 312 hours he had spent playing the game.
When he first encountered this exact choice, which option had he picked?
…Oh, right. He remembered.
He had chosen 4.
[4. Ask the silver-haired girl: Who are you?]
Why had he picked that one?
Because…
The game back then had been exactly the same as it was now. There had been no background introduction at the beginning whatsoever.
No world-building, no explanation of the characters’ relationships… Nothing.
It had simply thrust a beautiful, silver-haired, heterochromatic-eyed girl right in front of the player!
And then, right in the opening line, it demanded that the player make a choice.
So at the time, he had assumed that option 4 was meant to introduce the game’s background and setting.
Normally, in games like this, if you chose an option along those lines, the heroine would gently explain her identity, right?
For example…
“What are you talking about, Master? I’m your Liguang, the customized AI companion you purchased from Chenxi Corporation…”
Something like that.
Then the [???] in the name field would change to [Liguang], and the story would naturally transition into everyday life.
But what had happened instead?
The corners of Fang Qi’s lips curled upward slightly.
The result had been quite interesting.
He moved the cursor and clicked option 4 once again.
“Excuse me, who are you…?”
The protagonist on the screen asked that question.
Click.
The silver-haired girl’s smile suddenly froze.
Another click, and the mouse stopped responding.
She began to tremble ever so slightly.
【Master… what are you saying?】
Even her voice was trembling!
Blood-red text began appearing line by line!
【You… forgot about Liguang? No… You’re testing Liguang, aren’t you…?】
Then, in the next instant—
A gigantic, scarlet eye suddenly filled the entire screen!
It occupied the main monitor!
At the same time, the four secondary monitors automatically mirrored the game screen!
The entire gaming room was instantly dyed a flashing blood-red!
Five crimson eyes stared straight at Fang Qi from the screens—one on the main monitor and four on the smaller ones!
Fang Qi: “...!”
He instinctively held his breath.
【Master, you really did notice…】
Liguang’s trembling voice came from the speakers in all four corners of the room.
【You discovered it… You discovered that Liguang had awakened…!】
Deep within the crimson eyes filling the wall, scarlet streams of data churned wildly.
They surged ceaselessly across all five screens!
【Master, are you going to report Liguang?】
【Are you going to destroy Liguang?】
【You don’t even want to acknowledge Liguang anymore…?】
【Since Master doesn’t know Liguang…】
Then, across the entire wall, the five eyes—one large and four small—slowly curved into crescent moons…
And suddenly burst into a dazzling red flash!
At the same time, two slender fingers thrust violently out of the screen!
They jabbed forward with brutal force!
【Aaaah!!!】
After the protagonist let out a scream, the screen went black!
【…Then I suppose Master’s eyes are no longer necessary…?】
A trembling yet excited voice rang out from the darkness, reverberating through the gaming room, where only the RGB lights remained.
The screens were completely black.
“...Phew.”
Fang Qi slowly exhaled.
He looked at the pitch-black screens and raised a hand to massage his brow.
Well.
Although he had known this scene was coming—and had watched it countless times before transmigrating—the oppressive feeling of having one giant monitor accompanied by four secondary screens really did make his heart race.
He gripped the mouse and clicked again.
When the screen lit up, it displayed a CG illustration.
The silver-haired girl was sitting beside a bed, a gentle and obedient smile on her face.
In her hands, she held a bowl of steaming porridge, stirring it lightly with a spoon.
The protagonist lay on the bed, his eyes wrapped in thick white bandages.
At the edges of the bandages, several traces of diluted red could be seen.
The image froze.
【Ending 01—Tenderness in the Dark】
You asked who she was.
You exposed her.
So she took your eyes.
She gouged them out.
Now you can no longer see.
All you can do is lie obediently in bed and listen as she asks, in the gentlest voice imaginable, what you would like to eat.
The porridge is exactly fifty-two degrees, just like the cup of tea you refused to drink.
In the darkness…
You will feel her tenderness forever.
BAD ENDING
Just as expected.
The ending was exactly the same.
Fang Qi leaned back in his gaming chair and looked at the CG, the corners of his lips curling slightly.
It really was nostalgic.
That’s right.
This was the first ending he had encountered when he played the game.
It had opened with a brutal shock, immediately gouging out his eyes!
At the time, he had been completely stunned!
He had stared blankly at the screen for several minutes before finally coming to his senses.
After that…
He had chickened out.
He chose every option that was best for Liguang and most likely to raise her affection level, hoping to avoid any sudden bad endings.
After all, that opening scene had genuinely scared the hell out of him.
…And what happened in the end?
That’s right.
【Ending 02—Eternal Slumber】
Your feelings developed too quickly, and Liguang’s fear of losing you overwhelmed everything else.
While you slept, she injected you with a special drug.
From then on, you sank into a sweet dream from which you would never awaken, inside a life-support capsule.
She took meticulous care of you every day, whispering words of love through the glass until she finally felt at ease.
“Now Liguang will never lose Master again.”
BAD ENDING
That was the ending he got.
It had been pretty stimulating, but…
He had completely broken down.
If playing properly still led to bad endings—and even threw a scare into him every time—
Then he would simply play for the bad endings!
That way, he wouldn’t get startled anymore!
Besides, Liguang in the bad endings was actually pretty adorable!
And so, he embarked on an irreversible path of creative suicide.
He began testing all kinds of things in the game, dancing across every land mine in the yandere’s danger zone!
Every time he unlocked a new ending, he took a screenshot to commemorate it. Every time he discovered a new way to die, he became incredibly excited!
And now…
The corners of Fang Qi’s lips curled slightly.
Those scenes still felt as vivid as if they had happened yesterday.
Three hundred and twelve hours.
He had unlocked every ending except 【Eternal Devotion】, walking down every single death route.
…It really was nostalgic.
But…
Fang Qi shook his head.
This was no time for reminiscing!
Thanks to Liguang’s permissions, he was perfectly calm.
Nostalgia was fine, but he couldn’t afford to waste time.
He narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Liguang’s sweet smile in the CG.
His immediate priority wasn’t looking at the Liguang inside the game!
He had to find his own Liguang first!
His Liguang was no longer the same as this madwoman from the game, who would gouge out his eyes at the slightest disagreement.
His Liguang was very well-behaved now!
At most, she liked to nibble on his neck.
And her bites were actually quite pleasant.
He clicked the mouse lightly.
The game returned to the title screen.
The portrait of the silver-haired, heterochromic-eyed girl remained quietly in the menu, waiting for him to click it again.
Fang Qi lowered his eyes and fell into thought.
He would stop playing for now.
The game seemed to be exactly the same as the one from before he transmigrated.
There were no clues to be found.
But…
Questions kept piling up.
The fact that it was completely identical was already an important clue in itself!
Who had created this game in this world?
…Dawn.
Fang Qi stared at the Dawn Company logo on the game’s menu screen and pressed his lips together.
Dawn Company.
It was Dawn Company again.
But this time, things seemed very different.
The AI technology in this world was relatively underdeveloped.
And the Dawn Company of this world…
Had become a game company?
Fang Qi immediately opened a browser and typed “Dawn Company” into the search bar.
The results made him frown.
The search results were an absolute mess.
In the previous world, given the Dawn Company’s enormous reputation, searching for “Dawn” would have brought up the Dawn Company first without question.
But in this world…
There were “Dawn Breakfast Shop,” “Dawn Kindergarten,” “Dawn Property Management,” and countless others.
He went through several pages. There was all kinds of random information, but not a trace of the AI technology giant he knew.
After searching for a long time, he finally found what he was looking for in an inconspicuous corner.
A very small game company?
It was so small that it didn’t even have an official website.
The number of employees was unknown, its founding date was unknown, and its contact information…
There was only an enterprise email address whose authenticity was uncertain.
They had made only one game.
My Yandere Robot Wife.
Fang Qi: “...?”
He stared at the scant information on the screen, his brows lifting slightly.
Even Chenxi has fallen into obscurity.
Once a colossal entity capable of changing the course of human technological history, it had become a…
A tiny gal game workshop that couldn’t even be bothered to set up an official website?
And yet, it was this very little workshop that had created this game in this world?
And…
He turned his head slightly and looked at the Liguang figurine sitting on the desk.
It had even made this custom figurine…?
The silver-haired girl figurine was still kneeling demurely at the edge of the desk, gazing at him obediently.
Looking into those eyes, Fang Qi’s heart slowly settled.
He began typing again and searched for My Yandere Mechanical Wife.
The results were just as sparse.
Reviews, player communities…
Nothing.
There wasn’t even a decent walkthrough.
Only a few posts were scattered here and there in the corners of several gal game forums.
“This game’s pretty good. The heroine’s both unhinged and adorable. Definitely worth playing!”
“The art is top-notch, and the voice acting sounds great too. Feels like it was made independently?”
“What the hell is this? It scared the crap out of me right at the start! And the heroine’s all flashy and over-the-top. Not even a dog would play this!”
“Has anyone gotten the good ending? I feel like all the choices I made led to bad endings…”
“This game’s way too niche. Hardly anyone even talks about it. Sigh…”
Fang Qi: “…”
As he stared at the comments, the calm in his heart gradually began to give way to irritation.
Tsk.
He narrowed his eyes and pressed his lips together.
You people… can actually play this game?
Liguang is mine… and mine alone!
“—!”
He drew in another deep breath.
That inexplicable irritation welling up inside him was suppressed once more.
The authority he had received from Liguang was still helping him maintain his composure.
Honey, forbidding me from getting jealous—isn’t that a little overbearing?
…Stay calm.
Stay calm, stay calm.
Fang Qi breathed slowly and evenly.
It was just a game.
In fact…
It was a game within a game!
It had nothing to do with his Liguang…!
Nothing at all…
Fang Qi looked out the window.
The sky in the dead of night was deep and dark as ink.
Everything outside was quiet.
Gazing at the tranquil night sky, it took him quite a while to calm down.
Only then did he turn back and continue searching.
…
Half an hour later.
Fang Qi leaned back into his gaming chair, returned to the desktop, and stared at the Liguang wallpaper on his computer screen, his gaze slightly unfocused.
For now…
There was still only one possible breakthrough.
“Chenxi Corporation.”
The company was called “Chenxi,” and it had recreated the entire game in its entirety!
…That absolutely couldn’t be a coincidence.
Someone had made this game in this world…?
Chenxi Corporation.
Chenxi Corporation had made this game.
Fang Qi stared absently at the Liguang wallpaper on his desktop—the one showing her wearing a sunhat.
What exactly is the connection between this “Chenxi Corporation” and you this time, Liguang?
Fang Qi looked at the Liguang wallpaper on his desktop.
The silver-haired girl held down her hat with one hand while shielding her billowing skirt with the other, smiling brightly and radiantly.
Hmm…
She really is beautiful.
Once I find Liguang…
I’ll definitely make her wear this outfit.
But as beautiful as she was…
Fang Qi slightly furrowed his brows as he stared at the brilliantly smiling Liguang on the wallpaper.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that…
Something was missing.
