Peach-Orange! – Chapter 350 – Host, Do It, There’s No Turning Back Now

Lock away your memories and become another person.

Then, when the time comes, return for the final cycle.

If this attempt fails too, enduring another 300 cycles would be absolutely unbearable, right?

Xiao Hei let out a long sigh. “But is that version of her still real?”

The little Light Ball was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

“If she becomes another person, is she still herself?”

Moreover, her memories would be sealed away. This was what worried Xiao Hei the most.

Though she claimed not to worry and said she trusted her, once her memories were sealed and she lived a completely different life, some things, if acted out long enough, would become reality.

And for the girl, this wasn’t necessarily an act.

The little Light Ball chuckled softly. “Just now, you were saying you believed in her. But I understand. Truthfully, we have no other options left.

“A person’s personality is fixed. Even if she loses her memories and becomes someone else, her temperament, way of thinking, and habits won’t change. She’ll still be herself.

“But to strictly answer your question—

“The small world she’ll be in is false, but she herself will be real. Simply implanting a segment of memory won’t be enough to evade the scrutiny of the World’s Will.”

Precisely because she would be real in that small world, Xiao Hei couldn’t help but ache for her.

If it were just a memory, it’d be one thing.

If the small world were real, that’d be fine too.

At the very least, she shouldn’t have to be alone in another world.

But the truth was, throughout these 300 cycles, she had always been alone.

The little Light Ball asked, “Should we discuss this with that little one?”

Xiao Hei shook her head. “No need. She shouldn’t live with a purpose forced upon her. At least in this small world, I hope she can be happy.”

“However…” Xiao Hei’s tone shifted. “While she’s still in that small world, I want to help her too!”

The little Light Ball raised an eyebrow. “Help her? But you can’t step out of this false space.”

Xiao Hei smiled faintly. “Aren’t you crafting a shell to deceive the World’s Will? I can reside in that shell, continue being ‘Xiaocheng,’ and keep stealing energy from the World’s Will for you.

“Then, when she returns, we’ll stake everything on this final gamble!”

As they spoke, the girl’s 299th cycle began.

Even though they had grown accustomed to her deaths, it still pained them.

The little Light Ball said to Xiao Hei, “Your idea of hiding in a shell to undergo the cycles in her place isn’t impossible. But are you sure? Each cycle means another death.

“You might even face harsher targeting from the World’s Will. Your deaths will become more gruesome.”

Xiao Hei smiled serenely. “It’s fine. I was born because of her. All her negative emotions should have been mine to bear.

“As long as she can live happily.

“Loneliness, pain, despair… these were always meant to be shared by me. But for so long, I’ve been useless.”

Xiao Hei’s eerie eyes, one clear, one crimson, seemed to glow. “I won’t bother trying to win over Su Tao. At the very least, I want Ye Liang and his group to pay with their lives!

“Even if it’s just in cycles that will reset again and again!”

In every cycle, the girl only cared about Su Tao.

But Xiao Hei was different.

She only cared about those who dared to bully the girl!

…

The girl’s 299th cycle ended in failure.

When she returned to this pure white space, she collapsed and lay motionless for a long time. Though her reborn body was full of vitality, her spirit had reached its limit.

Countless failures and despair had brought her to the brink of collapse.

The earlier question of whether to consult the girl no longer mattered.

Xiao Hei nodded at the little Light Ball, and their plan, kept secret from the girl, began.

A fake shell of Xiaocheng was created by the Light Ball, and Xiao Hei’s soul attached to it, becoming the new “Xiaocheng.”

Stepping through the door, she began the cycles in the girl’s place.

But her methods were entirely different.

She ignored Su Tao completely, focusing solely on gathering energy and seeking revenge.

In ten cycles, she fought desperately and managed to wound Ye Liang.

In twenty cycles, she traded her life for his.

In fifty cycles, she didn’t spare even Dongfang Yang or Si Chen, dismembering them and stuffing them into a fridge, just like the dream Su Tao once had in reality.

Xiao Hei was more rational, more composed than the girl. With the powerful skills granted by the little Light Ball, she could accomplish far more.

Even if she couldn’t single-handedly defy the entire world, her disruptions infuriated the World’s Will.

Xiao Hei survived past December 25th, saved Chi Song and Brother Long, and began uniting all the forces she could to throw the world into chaos.

Even if death awaited her again and again, she still managed to steal a significant amount of energy for the little Light Ball.

And she made a startling discovery.

As if the World’s Will was breaking down, by the end of the cycles, the little Light Ball could even harvest energy from the emotions of key characters!

When these characters’ personalities collapsed, their emotions, if directed at Xiao Hei, could be converted into energy points for the little Light Ball.

Finally, having no other recourse against the little Light Ball’s authority over time, the World’s Will manifested its representative in reality—

The rich, domineering female side character who appeared out of nowhere!

The World’s Will couldn’t descend directly, but it could bestow its controllable fortune onto this wealthy side character.

This was the first time, after so long, that the little Light Ball saw a glimmer of hope in reclaiming this world.

If it could devour the authority vested in this rich female side character and kill her, then it could take back this world.

And reshape it into the perfect world that those worrisome readers desired.

Everything seemed to be looking up.

But both the little Light Ball and Xiao Hei knew the true key lay with the amnesiac girl who was now returning.

Time flew by. Xiao Hei underwent over 200 cycles.

And the girl was about to return.

But Xiao Hei and the little Light Ball didn’t look pleased.

Something had gone wrong.

This time, Xiao Hei didn’t cycle. The little Light Ball adjusted the timeline in advance.

Originally, the girl should have crossed over to the day of the argument, but her delayed arrival pushed the 520th cycle three months later.

She didn’t arrive at the time right after the fight.

The empty shell of the fake Xiaocheng had already acted unconsciously based on fragmented memories.

She smeared cheap makeup on her face, ruining her appearance, and joined forces with her roommates.

She confessed to the three male leads multiple times, pushing them into opposition.

She even kidnapped Su Tao and locked her in the basement, intending to disfigure her face.

Countless conflicting memory fragments converged in the fake shell.

And then, the girl crossed back.

Xiao Hei clutched her head. “What a hellish start. Light Ball, you’ve gathered enough energy to intervene directly, right?”

The little Light Ball replied, “Yes. I’ve reforged a body for you in reality. When the time comes, you can join in too.”

And just as the little Light Ball had said at the very beginning—

[Host, do it. There’s no turning back now.]

Because this will be our final cycle.
