The game screen turns blood-red. A lonely child sits atop the ruins of the city.
The city resembles a giant monster, or perhaps a crippled and misshapen patient.
Lu Mingxuan flees, finding a new safe haven.
This time, however, he's alone.
Wen Xishu can imagine Lu Mingxuan's despair at this moment. Blood-red text appears on the screen.
[Do you want to know why? They left you for one reason: because you can't give them strength, because you... are too weak.]
[You never did make them part of your game; you thought it was enough to manage your game well, but it's not.]
[Humans are inherently prone to betrayal and death.]
This text appears directly on the game screen, and Wen Xishu cannot even see who's saying it.
Is this Scorpio speaking? Of course, Wen Xishu hopes it's not Scorpio.
Even though he knows Scorpio is no good, this childlike figure hadn't done anything excessively atrocious thus far.
