Chapter 476 476: A Brief Peace
"Would you like a cup of tea?"
One minute after the two sides fell into a brief standoff, Wanhua spoke the first sentence.
"You should feel honored. After all, not even Monika has tasted my tea brewing skills~ Wanhua-chan went to the College of Culture and Tourism for advanced studies!"
"I'll pass." Alain looked around, confirming there was no trace of a tea set in the room.
Therefore, if Yang Wanhua wanted to brew tea, she would inevitably have to pass through the door next to the main breaker.
"My throat isn't thirsty."
"Hehe~ Is that so." Seeing this, the maiden didn't say much more. She strolled leisurely toward the "Alain" who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
"How is it? I have preserved your body in Reality perfectly. I take care of it every day; there isn't a speck of dirt."
"Wasn't it you who sent me to the Game World? Could it be that I still have to thank you for maintaining my body in Reality?"
Alain spoke with sarcasm, his gaze slanting slightly to look at the greatsword lying on the ground. It was still some distance away from him.
Yang Wanhua controlled the distance to the main breaker perfectly, so he could only circle around and look for an opportunity.
Alain simply walked over to Yang Wanhua's side as well, looking at his own body in Reality with a gaze as still as an ancient well.
The skin color was a somewhat sickly white, and the body appeared slightly slender, as if he were just a frail patient.
"Don't look at my 'Alain' like this. I give him nutrient solution every day and take proper skincare measures. Incidentally, there's also hygiene cleaning."
She took out a tissue and wiped the face of "Alain," as if treating a small pet.
"After coming back from the Professor, just your matters alone take me at least three hours."
She turned her head to look at Alain. "Note, that is three hours every day."
"And what does that prove?" Alain asked in return. "In the end, it's still you who imprisoned my consciousness in the Electronic World."
Could it be that because Yang Wanhua told him these things, he had to be grateful?
Hearing this, the maiden didn't get angry. She chatted and laughed composedly.
"Actually, before meeting you again, I quite enjoyed this kind of life.
"You couldn't be disturbed by the 'dust' of Reality, and I could struggle and strive in both Reality and the game for your sake.
"I watched a movie once, and there was a line in it that was said very well: 'Love is the power to conquer all.' I have always held this sentence as my conviction."
She looked at the Alain on the sickbed, while another Alain stood behind her. Her gaze lowered.
"What a pity, Alain. You are a fool after all. You were still deceived by that group of codes."
The maiden shook her head as if wishing iron could turn into steel. "You can't distinguish what kind of love is the one you should truly pursue. Instead, you chose those virtual loves.
"Being like this, you must return from your lost path. And this is also the goal I am striving for now.
"Whether it is my emotions or their emotions, there isn't a single shred of falsehood."
Alain's finger tapped against his own temple. "Because, those are things I saw with my own eyes."
"Mhm, I understand."
It was an unexpected reply from the maiden.
"I know that the current you has already reached the point of being obsessively deluded, even incurable." She turned her head to look at him.
"Therefore, I will also do my absolute best to make you come to your senses, to let you know... who is the person truly suitable to stay by your side."
Alain looked into her eyes, feeling somewhat stunned for a moment.
He really couldn't figure out why Yang Wanhua was so obsessed with him.
"Can you stop fleecing me? Switch to someone else." Alain was helpless. "The current you has already caused indelible influence on my daily life."
"Mhm, I know," she said.
Alain was doubtful. "You know, and you still carried on doing it?"
"Because you are obsessively deluded. That is why I want to pull you back. It's a very simple logic."
"?"
Alain looked at her black-and-white eyes. It was sincerity...
A sincerity that made him feel disgusted to the point of being unable to understand.
This woman, she wasn't lying.
She really wasn't lying.
She truly executed this as her creed.
"Let's get back to the point." Wanhua threw away the tissue she had finished wiping with. "I hope you leave that fake world immediately and return to my side, Alain."
"Impossible." Alain frowned. "The current me is not your possession. Rather, the two of us have absolutely no connection whatsoever."
"No connection... That's too much! Clearly, there are connections everywhere! And I've even helped you take care of your body like this!"
Yang Wanhua puffed up her cheeks.
"Why is it? Can't you just understand? Those things are all fake in the end!" The maiden said, "What Mita, what love... they all originate from their underlying code!"
"Don't you forget." Alain's expression remained calm. "The current me is also talking to you in accordance with so-called 'underlying code'."
"That's different, Alain." She shook her head. "You are the same as me, a creature of Reality, absolutely not formed by code."
She wanted to grab Alain's hand, but he shook her off.
"Could it be that just because Reality is unsatisfactory, you want to abandon yourself to despair inside a game? Or perhaps, do you truly plan to abandon everything in Reality?"
"Yes." Alain answered without hesitation. It actually made Yang Wanhua slightly surprised; she thought she had heard wrong.
"Eh?"
"I plan to abandon everything in Reality, head to the Electronic World, and spend the rest of my life with them."
"You... are lying, right?" The maiden expressed her difficulty in understanding. "Is there something in Reality that troubles you?"
"...Troubles?" Alain asked in return.
He recalled everything in Reality.
Scum parents, the so-called debts, and Yang Wanhua's imprisonment...
Now, she actually dared to ask what troubles he had in Reality?
"Alright, then I'll tell you." Alain discovered that the current him not only didn't have a shred of anger, but was actually very calm.
"My Reality is extremely unsatisfactory. Because, everything I had was all destroyed by you.
"My life, my family, my romance, and even the things I wanted to cherish.
"Yang Wanhua, you are just like a nightmare, entangling yourself around me. Yet you haven't realized the harm you've done to me in the slightest."
That was it... For such a person, just killing her couldn't satisfy him at all.
"Do you know? You disrupted my everything, and you still want to strip everything I have in my hands away from me again."
Hearing this, the maiden looked at him with a surprised expression as he spat out those words that were like a declaration of judgment.
"I came over this time intending to make a clean break with you. But now, I've changed my mind.
"Not just a clean break of life, I also want to continue that topic from last time with you."
"Th-that is..."
She looked up at him in a daze.
Alain nodded.
"The topic about me and you breaking up completely."
