Peach-Orange! – Chapter 538 – Awake

A normal person would panic upon learning the truth.

But she, Su Tao, was clearly not among the ranks of normal people.

She was more concerned about Chi Xiaocheng.

But her urgency was suppressed by Xiao Hei raising a hand. “Don’t be anxious yet. I care about Xiaocheng just as much as you do, but right now I’m going to slowly outline the current situation for you.”

Su Tao took a deep breath. “Okay, continue.”

Xiao Hei: “Based on what you just said, the person in your dream who looks exactly like you is the World Will; simultaneously, I can also tell you about the so-called original work’s ending.”

She pulled over a chair and simply sat down in front of Su Tao, slowly explaining the entire content of the original work to her.

Yes, all of it.

Su Tao, at her current level of importance, was already qualified to know these things.

As for whether she could accept it…

If she couldn’t accept this, how could Su Tao claim to like Xiaocheng?

After hearing all this, Su Tao, just as Xiao Hei predicted, fell into shock.

Sitting alone on the bed, even one of her hands trembled incessantly.

Because Su Tao was sure that everything Xiao Hei said was true; it was exactly like some of the scenes that had appeared in her dream.

Xiaocheng was tortured in various ways and then drowned.

And she herself would actually end up liking scum like Ye Liang and Chu Lingfeng afterwards?

Thinking of those two people, thinking of the final scene in her dream, she couldn’t help but feel nauseous, followed by a surge of anger.

After waiting for about five minutes, Xiao Hei continued, “And what the World Will said about everything returning to the way it was if Xiaocheng dies is also simple.”

Su Tao looked up, watching as Xiao Hei spoke word by word, “At that time, you and Chi Xiaocheng would return to the summer vacation before university started, and then experience once again the original content I just described.”

Arguments.

Falling out.

Misunderstandings arising.

Never being able to meet again.

Until Xiaocheng was killed by Ye Liang, and she herself, because of various misunderstandings and the influence of the World Will, mistakenly ended up liking the enemy who killed Xiaocheng?

Her hand trembled involuntarily.

Su Tao even questioned inwardly at this moment: Could she really protect Xiaocheng?

She looked up again, “Then what you said earlier about us living in the world of a novel, doesn’t that mean we can never change the predetermined outcome?”

Everything in a book is written by someone.

And changed by someone.

When every word is etched on the page, the content finalized, line after line, even after turning a page, how can one go back and change what has already happened?

And what hasn’t happened yet in the future, is it certain to occur?

Xiao Hei calmly explained, “Of course it can be changed. And right now, we are making efforts to change it.

“As for what the result of these efforts is…”

Xiao Hei just raised an eyebrow at Su Tao and said no more.

Clearly, the achievements of this cycle were unmatched by any previous cycle.

The World Will had lost control of Su Tao, the original native protagonist, and even Su Tao knew these truths.

To reassure Su Tao, Xiao Hei didn’t tell her about the cycles, instead saying, “Don’t worry. Through our efforts, we have this opportunity. As long as we change the ending, then all our experiences and actions along the way will become new content, written on paper, becoming the story.”

At that time, there would no longer be any so-called original work.

The development of this world.

The entire journey of you two protagonists from start to finish, that itself will be a book.

What it composes is – The Book of Life.

Su Tao looked at Xiao Hei, swallowing hard, “Then, might there be people from another dimension, those ‘readers’, watching us?”

As she spoke, Su Tao glanced fearfully at the sky.

The deep understanding of this concept shocked her no less than the outcome where Chi Xiaocheng would definitely die.

Regarding this, Xiao Hei just shrugged, “Who knows? Maybe there really are.”

She then changed the subject, “Instead, now that you know these things, what do you plan to do next?”

Su Tao lowered her head, falling into silence.

The string named reason in her mind was constantly twitching; her thoughts were filled with the ending described by Xiao Hei and the outcome revealed by Hei Tao in the dream.

Although the processes of the two were somewhat different, the result was the same.

That was… Chi Xiaocheng would die.

Her Xiaocheng would leave her forever!

So what should she do next? Could she really protect Xiaocheng?

And who is the enemy?

Song Liyin, the mysterious Young Lady, Ye Er, and the god of this world.

By herself, could she really oppose those people?

Protection, such a reassuring word.

But for Su Tao now, this word had instead become another kind of pressure for her.

An unspeakable inner demon.

If she couldn’t protect her beloved, then… everything would be completely over.

Su Tao looked up, a hint of reddish-brown in her eyes, “Do we have a chance to just kill that World Will directly?”

That way, Xiaocheng would be safe, right?

Xiao Hei met her gaze and shook her head, “It can’t be done. At the very least, we must first eliminate the vessel that the World Will is attached to in this world before we can destroy the World Will along with it.”

To be precise, the World Will doesn’t have a true physical form. It’s just like the System, attached to a certain “vessel.”

The System’s vessel is Chi Xiaocheng, and now Su Tao is half a vessel. Only when both of these people die can the World Will seize the System and devour it.

The reverse is also true; if the World Will’s vessel is gone, then the System will have the opportunity to devour it.

“Then who or what is the World Will’s vessel? If we destroy that thing, will it be okay?”

Su Tao asked the fatal question.

And usually, this would be a specific person.

Looking at the overall situation…

Xiao Hei sighed, “If I’m not mistaken, it should be that…”

“Young Lady.” Su Tao said it at the same time as Xiao Hei, their voices in unison.

Then, both fell into silence.

The World Will would be easier to deal with; they hadn’t confronted it directly much. Xiao Hei had thought it was a great enemy.

Actually, it was just a stats monster.

Arrogant and brainless, although it is the reflection of the entire world, it lacks the thinking of a normal person.

Defeating the World Will alone and making it suffer a loss isn’t difficult.

But that Young Lady…

At least judging from Song Liyin, she isn’t someone easy to deal with.

She hasn’t even shown her face up until now.

But her presence is extremely strong.

The light in Su Tao’s eyes dimmed a little.

A person so important that even Dongfang Yang has to give way to some extent, could she really oppose her?

She wanted to protect Chi Xiaocheng alone, but…

Su Tao was silent for a long time before slowly saying to Xiao Hei, “Let me think about it some more.”

Seeing this, Xiao Hei just nodded faintly, turned into starry butterflies, and disappeared on the spot.

She saw a certain answer on Su Tao’s face.

However, the young girl was still hesitating, uncertain if this answer was correct.
