The dark night was cold and lonely.
Sang Wan Ci stood there, hand hanging weakly by her side.
Lu Zhi Wei was gone, she didn’t even bring her phone.
This was intentional……
But why would she do this?
Where was she going?
The questions came one after another.
Sang Wan Ci felt deeply anxious and uneasy.
The fear came, wrapping her in it and stuffing all the negative endings into her mind, making her subconsciously start to think in that area.
She couldn’t even control her thoughts.
Lu Zhi Wei was such an optimistic person normally, their relationship was so stable. Once she decided to disappear, what else could she do aside from silly things?
But she was so afraid of pain…..
There was also no reason that one could think of for her doing so either.
Sang Wan Ci frustratedly tugged at a handful of her hair.
At this moment, she thought of tonight’s Lu Zhi Wei.
Sensitive, weak, breaking at the slightest touch.
Desiring her and liking her more than usual, wanting to be with her forever.
She thought of Lu Zhi Wei’s reddened eyes and of every word Lu Zhi Wei said.
Finally, she caught a hint of farewell in those words.
She said she would love her forever, this forever seemed more like it would be accomplished by stopping her life.
This thought suddenly floated in her mind, as if affirming her guesses from earlier.
Sang Wan Ci’s eyebrow suddenly twitched as she felt shocked.
She wasn’t willing to think like that, but she couldn’t stop heading in this direction because it seemed like Lu Zhi Wei had something on her mind.
Her Zhi Wei said she loved her, and said she wanted to be with her forever.
Her Zhi Wei still left her.
Sang Wan Ci held onto the table with one hand and supported her forehead with the other, her face filled with anguish.
Where could she go?
Where would she go?
What was she going to do?!
Immediately, two words appeared in her brain.
As if god was giving her the answer.
Sang Wan Ci threw away her phone and quickly changed to leave the house.
No matter whether Lu Zhi Wei was there or not, she had to go take a look!

The bright moon hung high in the sky, aloof and lonely.
Under the sky, the waves crashed and tumbled. Even the sound of the wind was heavy.
Lu Zhi Wei sat on the wooden bench, calming herself and preparing.
Hearing Lao Wu’s voice, she suddenly rejoiced a little.
Luckily…… Luckily there was still someone accompanying her at the last moments, so she wouldn’t have to be lonely even when she was leaving.
Lao Wu continued typing as he spoke to her.
Lu Zhi Wei had never heard him typing so furiously on the keyboard before.
If she didn’t know, she would think he had a powerpoint to finish and hand in to his boss tomorrow.
“Lao Wu,” Lu Zhi Wei looked at her feet and opened her mouth. “Have you never thought of leaving the system?”
Lao Wu didn’t reply immediately.
But Lu Zhi Wei heard a discernable pause in the sound of his typing.
She calmly took out a piece of paper and a pen from her pockets, as if by magic.
She wrote as she spoke.
“Lao Wu, I’ve never met your main computer, but i feel like he’s not anything good.
“I don’t know what sort of motive he has in doing this experiment, but I know that even if this world’s double-layer structure is destroyed, he can still create other worlds and continue experimenting until he’s perfected the technology.
“But you’re different from him, you’re a kind person. You always say Bai Zhi is kind and has strong empathy, but you’re actually the same.
“So I hope that you won’t continue working for the main computer and helping evildoers. I hope you can leave the system, I hope every administrator can leave like Bai Zhi.”
Lu Zhi Wei heard the tapping of keys continue, Lao Wu’s voice slowly traveling over.
“If there’s a chance…… We’ll see.”
This thing wasn’t currently in his plan.
In the future…… Maybe there wouldn’t be a chance.
Lu Zhi Wei stopped writing, encouraging him: “Why wouldn’t there be a chance, with your lifespan, you’re still young and have plenty of years. There’s so much time, do what you want to do, don’t be stuck in a job. Besides, you’re so clever, what can’t you do?”
Lao Wu raised his eyes and looked at the complex program on the system’s screens.
Hearing Lu Zhi Wei’s words, he lightly pushed up his spectacles.
Right, he was at least the fifth-ranked person in the system, what couldn’t he do?
【You’re young too.】 He reminded.
She was at the age when her career was picking up and she should have been welcoming an even brighter future, not walking towards her death here.
Lu Zhi Wei waved her hand nonchalantly: “I’m not the same, I’m already contented.”
After having the protagonist’s halo, the love around her had slowly become normal.
Kinship, friendship, love, becoming an actress, she had done it all and had it all.
She could even film a same-sex movie with the person she loved, collaborating on so many shows.
After experiencing all these, she had long since been satisfied.
Now, it was time for others to experience the beauty of the world too.
But she still wanted to leave something for the world before she left.
These were probably the rituals to be completed before one died.
Lao Wu looked at the screen and frowned.
【When did you bring along pen and paper? What are you writing?】
“When I left, I just stuffed them into my pocket,” Lu Zhi Wei answered honestly. “I’m writing my will.”
This was the first time she was writing something like this, she wasn’t familiar with it and the contents were simple.
She didn’t need to leave behind any inheritance, so she didn’t bother.
She actually wanted to wish everybody happiness for their entire lives, but she knew too many people and it’d be a hassle to write for everybody.
So she picked a few important people and wrote simply.
Lu Si Jiao and Ying Xi Ze shared a piece of paper.
Sang Wan Ci had one piece to herself.
Lao Wu had one piece to himself.
Lao Wu watched as she seriously wrote down a line: I hope Lao Wu can switch to a job that gives him time to rest, with all things getting better and that he can meet Bai Zhi soon!
“Speaking of which,” Lu Zhi Wei finally reacted. “You wouldn’t be called ‘Lao Wu’, would you?”
【What are you thinking of? My name is Wu Jun Sheng, and I just happened to be ranked fifth in the system, so everybody calls me that.】
“Oh, then I’ll change it.”
She crossed “Lao Wu” and solemnly wrote “Wu Jun Sheng”.
Lao Wu couldn’t help but laugh, a few traces of sadness in his voice.
【Don’t write anymore, when the world resets, these things will also disappear……】
“It’s okay,” Lu Zhi Wei was cheerful, “at least they existed before.”
Just like her.
Even if she disappeared in the next second, it didn’t matter, because at least she existed before.
She was also lucky enough to have seen the beauty of this world.
Lao Wu felt like something was stuck in his throat.
He rubbed his eyebrows.
【Zhi Wei, if you’re regretting it now…… It’s not too late.】
“I don’t regret it.”
Lu Zhi Wei said confidently.
She was solemnly writing six words that were filled with love on the paper to be given to Sang Wan Ci, “I hope you will be happy”.
“If I don’t do what I can do, I’ll regret living like that.”
She didn’t care how others would choose when faced with this situation, but the choice was in her hands now and she wanted to choose this.
She wouldn’t regret using up all her strength to help more people obtain freedom.
—— My heart is made up, it won’t change.
【I understand.】
Lao Wu pushed his spectacles up and continued typing away.
After writing three notes, Lu Zhi Wei lifted her head and looked at the sky.
It was the first time she was realising that death was actually so close to her.
Truthfully, her heart still couldn’t bear to leave everything in this world.
But since things had come to this, she had no way to turn back. She could only ask a bit more and know a bit more, pretending she was participating in the future.
“Lao Wu, you said the world would reset after I die, where will it reset to?”
【The day when you obtained the male protagonist halo.】
“Oh…… So it’s that day.”
【Mm.】
“Mm……”
【……】
“……”
Silence descended on them.
The wind continued howling wildly as the waves continued crashing.
After a while, Lao Wu heard her ask lightly: “…… They really won’t remember me?”
She had understood the logic from Lao Wu.
When the world reset, all the memories would return to that point.
Because she would be eliminated by the system, so there wouldn’t be a Lu Zhi Wei in the world. Everything related to her would naturally be cleaned up, and there would only be one daughter in the Lu family.
To keep the characters the same, it would only be possible if she was still alive when the memories returned to the starting point.
But that was no longer possible.
She was just asking for the last time……
As for erasing memories related to her, she felt it had to be the simplest process.
There wasn’t even extra work needed.
Because everybody’s starting point had never included her.
Only Lao Wu’s silence and the sound of the typing on the keyboard that grew quicker and quicker answered her.
It was like he was racing against time.
She had never seen him like this before.
It was probably because of her, this rebellious protagonist, who was going to destroy the double-layer structure, and he had to figure out a way to report this to his superiors.
Stepping into the shoes of a corporate slave and thinking about it, Lu Zhi Wei felt it was quite reasonable, not saying anything aside from sympathising with him.
After chatting for so long, she had said what she needed to say and wrote what she needed to write.
She put the pen and paper down, standing up.
“We’ve chatted enough, I should go.”
She was going to fight for a free tomorrow for every transparent person and Sang Wan Ci!
Hearing that, Lao Wu immediately turned to look at the screen that showed her.

The road leading to the scenic viewpoint was a slope.
Sang Wan Ci usually liked to slowly walk up. With Lu Zhi Wei accompanying her, everything was always beautiful.
But she didn’t like to walk anymore, she ran up with ragged breaths, wanting to reach that place quicker.
The cold night wind made her cheeks icy.
The difficulty of the slope suddenly seemed to have increased exponentially.
The route to the scenic viewpoint was suddenly growing longer and longer in her eyes……
She was tired, but she didn’t dare to stop and rest, even for a second.
Her heart was conflicted.
She both hoped that she would and wouldn’t see Lu Zhi Wei at the scenic viewpoint.
Fear made her uneasy, afraid she would see something she didn’t want to see.
Zhi Wei, what exactly do you want to do…… Why are you doing this!
…
Lu Zhi Wei stepped towards the railing, hearing Lao Wu typing on the keyboard as she walked.
She suddenly felt it was funny, her mood lifting: “I didn’t think that I’d actually be listening to you typing on the keyboard as I leave.”
Lao Wu didn’t answer, the sound of his typing grew even more urgent and frantic.
“Slow down,” Lu Zhi Wei’s mood was suddenly very good, as she leisurely cared for him. “Don’t type so hard and fast, your hand will get tired.”
Lao Wu didn’t reply, or rather, he didn’t have the time to reply.
She didn’t mind. She was someone who was leaving anyway, what did she need to care about? She just hoped he could take care of his own health.
She turned back to look at the papers under a small rock on the wooden bench, and smiled slightly.
Then she grabbed the railing and flipped herself over to stand on the other side, trembling slightly.
There was no other barrier in front of her.
Her heart was beating like a drum.
She looked down carefully. When her gaze reached the turbulent waves, she immediately looked away as her heart raced even quicker, as if it was going to beat right out of her chest.
She comforted herself.
Deep breaths, deep breaths……
Don’t be scared, don’t be scared……
Then, she heard Lao Wu hit the keyboard with a “slap”, and then there were no other sounds of the keyboard.
He probably had finished his work.
She thought.
This is the world, some people were walking to their deaths while others were still working hard to live.
And death was also rebirth.
Tonight, she would bid farewell forever to the world here, and welcome many new births because of it.
She lifted her head, admiring the moon for the last time.
The wind gusted against her as if it was drilling into her bones, it was so cold she couldn’t help but shiver.
But she still kept looking at the moon.
It was beautiful, clean and elegant, just like the person she liked.
She suddenly recalled Lao Wu saying the world will reset to the original point.
That original point was when she had met Sang Wan Ci for the first time.
She still remembered it was an especially nice day.
But this time, she couldn’t participate in it anymore.
But it was fine. She also had a sort of good day that was called Sang Wan Ci.
I’m sorry, Wan Ci.
I can’t help you fulfill your birthday wish anymore, I’m going to break your trust……
Lu Zhi Wei plucked up her courage in front of the icy wind, slowly reducing the strength with which she was gripping the railing.
She closed her eyes, determination written on her face.
“—— Goodbye forever.”
My lover.
It’s my eternal honor to have been able to meet you.
Under the lonely moon, another person’s face was white as snow.
Sang Wan Ci watched as the person she loved jumped, widening her eyes in disbelief and shock.
“Zhi Wei——!” She screamed out in heartbreak.
But there was no way back.
Lao Wu didn’t dare to watch Lu Zhi Wei jump off the cliff.
He interlocked his fingers, lowering his head as he knitted his eyebrows together, worry on his face.
He was praying for himself and for Lu Zhi Wei.
Lu Zhi Wei couldn’t hear her lover’s last call.
She closed her eyes tightly, her body falling.
The wind whistled past her ear, cutting like a knife.
Heaven and earth were both inverted, death was so close she could touch it.
A teardrop fled out of the corner of her eye and blended into the wind silently.
Everything had happened too suddenly, Sang Wan Ci couldn’t react in time.
She rushed to the side of the cliff but couldn’t even grab onto the corner of Lu Zhi Wei’s coat.
The next second, the railing she was holding onto suddenly dissolved into fragments of light, being sucked into the wind.
The world suddenly changed, everything dissolving, cruelly not even leaving her time to react.
Suddenly, the wind grew strong.
The notes on the wooden bench were blown away, swirling around in the wind as they dissolved.
The cliff was changing, the water was changing, everything was being pulled apart by an invisible strength.
The world descended into darkness.
The stars, the universe, and a clock ticking.
After a flash of blinding white light, the world started again ——
The skies were clear and there was a nice breeze. It was the peak of autumn, with warm sunlight shining down.
The weather was pleasant.
Xinghe Mall, next to the traffic light.
A young lady was squatting on the ground, both hands pressed to her forehead with tears of pain in the corners of her eyes.
The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Looking at the surroundings, it was one that she was familiar with.
Lu Zhi Wei looked at her hand woodenly, then touched her face.
She was confused and in disbelief.
What’s going on?
Didn’t I jump into the ocean and die?
I clearly, clearly jumped down……
Thinking about her memory, she couldn’t help but hug herself.
Too painful, it was really too painful……
The moment she hit the surface of the ocean, it was like her body had exploded and her bones had broken, her body had been torn apart. The water was icy and like the scythe of the reaper, taking her life immediately.
When she opened her eyes again, she was here.
But why?
Why was she still alive?
Lao Wu had clearly said that she would be seen as a virus to be eliminated, so she would die, she wouldn’t be reborn.
But she was still alive, and she clearly remembered what had happened!
Suddenly, she couldn’t distinguish between which was real and which was false.
Could it be that she was dreaming, that she had never jumped?
And was the system something she had all dreamt up?
But the pain of falling into the ocean was incredibly real, how could it be false?
She touched her forehead and pressed it gently.
“Ouch ——”
She immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
This hurt too.
It was real.
She understood, she understood everything!
She wasn’t dreaming, she was really alive!!!
She happily called out for Lao Wu in her heart.
But this time, nobody answered her.
She was rejoicing but also confused, she could feel more and more people looking at her. Someone even came up to ask if she needed help.
She waved her hand and said it was fine.
The other person saw that she was lucid and able to speak, so they left.
Kind questions, friendly attention, compared to the first time when nobody checked on her, Lu Zhi Wei finally understood.
She had successfully broken the double-layer structure, the world had been reset and there would no longer be any more ridiculous transparent physiques!
It was great!!!
Speaking of which, she still remembered everything that had to do with this day.
She recalled she had been knocked over by a wild child, and her head had accidentally hit the traffic light, therefore accidentally giving her the male protagonist halo so she could meet Lao Wu.
And on this day, when she was still lost in the curiousity and novelty of the magical system, Sang Wan Ci appeared.
On this pleasant day, they met.
Lu Zhi Wei couldn’t help but look toward the direction Sang Wan Ci would appear.
She still remembered Sang Wan Ci, but Sang Wan Ci probably didn’t remember her……
But Lu Zhi Wei still couldn’t help but look there, couldn’t help but anticipate her arrival, couldn’t help but want to see her.
Even at the last moment before she died, Lu Zhi Wei was still thinking of Sang Wan Ci.
—— Regardless of if you remember me or if you can see me, I still want to reunite with you.
As if hearing the words in her heart, god quickly sent Sang Wan Ci in front ofh er.
The clothes were the same, the hairstyle was the same.
It was like it was at the start, unchanged.
The moment Lu Zhi Wei saw her, her tears couldn’t be held back.
She wanted to hug Sang Wan Ci, to whine to her and tell her how painful it was jumping into water from such a height.
Wan Ci, it really hurts, really……
But she couldn’t.
This life, she didn’t have the protagonist halo, she was only a normal person. She was no longer good enough for Sang Wan Ci, she could only be Sang Wan Ci’s friend.
They could never be as close again, her Wan Ci no longer remembered her……
But she was still very happy, happy that she could see Sang Wan Ci.
Even if it was only from afar.
Being reborn after dying was always a lucky thing.
Lu Zhi Wei lowered her head and wiped away the hot tears from her eyes, picking up her canvas bag as she slowly stood up.
But in the next second, she was hugged by someone who had run over anxiously.
“—— Lu Zhi Wei.”
She paused as she suddenly heard Sang Wan Ci calling herself that.
Sang Wan Ci hugged the person in her arms tightly, afraid she would leave again.
Sang Wan Ci’s eyes were red, her emotions stuck in her chest like the turbulent waves, upset and stuffy.
She had many things stored in her heart that she wanted to say to Lu Zhi Wei and ask her.
But at this moment, when she saw Lu Zhi Wei standing safe and sound in front of her, she could only say: “I no longer like the moon-viewing cliff.”
I lost you there.
I won’t like it anymore, I’ll never like it again……
Lu Zhi Wei looked at everything happening in disbelief.
Her tears blurred her vision, doubt and uncontrollable happiness in her voice.
“You actually…… still remember me?”

Wu Jun Sheng sat in the control room, his face peaceful as he watched the system’s screens show a red warning one after another.
【Warning: Detected that number A5 administrator Wu Jun Sheng used the main computer’s authority without permission!】
【Warning: Detected that number A5 administrator Wu Jun Sheng changed the program’s judgement without permission!】
【Warning: Detected that number A5 administrator Wu Jun Sheng severed the link between the world and the system without permission!】
【Warning: Number a5 administrator is in severe breach of the rules!】
【Warning! Warning!! Warning!!!】
The red glaring light shone on Wu Jun Sheng’s face, looking like a monster’s claw.
He sat on the chair, surrounded by red, flashing monitors, as if he was facing a shocking trial.
But he still didn’t move, his face was filled with calmness and even a bit of joy.
He had won the gamble, it really succeeded.
He could only do this much for her.
Lu Zhi Wei, you have to live well……
He lifted up his chin slightly.
Every monitor turned into an order:
【Command from the main computer: Immediately catch number A5 administrator Wu Jun Sheng, if there are accomplices, apprehend them as well!】
Not long after the command was given, the doors behind him suddenly opened.
A few cyborgs in armour brandishing weapons walked in fiercely.
They surrounded him and raised the black weapons in their hands, as if they could mercilessly take his life at any time.
Wu Jun Sheng chuckled.
He hadn’t thought that there would be a day when he was surrounded by cyborgs like this and unable to fight back.
Forget it, he hadn’t planned to fight back anyway.
The cyborgs watched as he slowly stood up.
Only to see him slowly undo the nameplate badge on his chest and throw it to the ground with his identity card as a high-ranking administrator, as if he was abandoning his hateful past.
The eye-piercing red warnings.
The fierce, unfeeling cyborgs.
His chances of survival were incredibly miniscule.
But he still remained calm, putting his handsd together and waiting for his ending.
“Go ahead and capture me.
“I quit.”
