Chapter 466 466: Escape
"You... you... do you really know what you are doing?"
The black-haired maiden looked at Alain's expression in disbelief. Between her trembling lips... the maiden saw the young man's expression hadn't changed in the slightest.
It was as if the words he was about to say were things he could utter casually.
She took two steps back with messy, chaotic strides, but Alain met her retreat, taking two steps forward.
He looked down at Yang Wanhua's dumbfounded gaze, understanding... that this was the only thing he still owed her.
The next moment, his Adam's apple bobbed.
"Yang Wanhua, we have been together for a total of two years and three months."
"No, no... don't say it..."
He paid no attention to the maiden's frantic expression, articulating the heartfelt thoughts he had held for so long, word by word.
"From meeting, to getting to know each other, to falling in love, we have walked until now. There were not only problems on your side but on my side as well."
"Don't... want..." She hung her head low, her hands scratching at her beautiful long hair.
The neat, straight black hair became a messy bird's nest under the maiden's frantic scratching.
Alain's expression didn't change a bit; even his grip on the greatsword loosened significantly.
"We once went through a honeymoon phase."
"...Aren't we still in it now?" Wanhua interrupted, snatching the chance to speak.
She raised her gaze. In Alain's view, that pair of eyes looked just like a devil from the abyss...
He felt that paired with Yang Wanhua, it was simply a match made in heaven.
"But no matter how scorching the emotions are, they will eventually cool down."
"Cool... down?" The maiden's voice stagnated.
She stared straight at Alain's lips as they spat out language.
Clearly, every word was Chinese, yet they gradually turned into words she couldn't understand.
Cool down? What does 'cool down' mean? Adjective? Verb? Noun?
"Because, I can't give you what you want, and you can't give me what I hope for. This is a problem for both of us."
"Don't say it, these kinds of social pleasantries..." She gently grabbed Alain's collar, as if she wanted to stop Alain's words...
Unfortunately, the young man continued to speak calmly, narrating calmly,
"Yang Wanhua. Perhaps in the very beginning, we shouldn't have met."
Wanhua noticed that Alain's gaze was becoming increasingly indifferent. The emotion with which he originally viewed an enemy was now like looking at a stranger.
"Stop..."
"Perhaps we shouldn't have wasted each other's time."
"Stop."
"At that time, I also shouldn't have helped you pick up that book."
"Don't deny... the past between me and you!!!"
The maiden desperately leaned close to his face.
"What do you mean by that? Do you understand what doing that implies—"
"We might just be the most incompatible couple in the world."
"Impossible! No one is more suitable than us!" She bit tightly onto Alain's wrist, desperate to see him stop talking due to the pain.
But let alone stopping, he didn't even make a single sound; emotional fluctuations seemed to have vanished from his face.
"Therefore, Yang Wanhua. At this very moment, I want to say to you—"
Drop after drop of blood belonging to Alain burst forth from her tightly clenched lips.
But the time she hoped for did not stop.
And Alain, like a groom filled with apology,
Solemnly gave her a deep bow.
"Let's break up."
He waited for a reply.
Drip, drip, drip.
Unknown from which virus, a garbled code slowly condensed on the tip of the sword, trembling into a drop of water, and finally slid to the ground.
With a splat—it fell into the pool of garbled code in the Core, sending out ripples.
Tap, tap, tap...
These were the footsteps of someone unknown, leisurely arriving in front of Alain.
It was a maiden. In his half-open vision, two fair, bare legs and white sandals stopped in front of him.
A pair of skillful hands propped up Alain's body, looking at him with confusion.
"Alain, what are you still doing?"
Coming into view was Misha with her flowing long hair.
"Honey? Why are you here?" Alain was extremely confused. He looked around, only to discover that the black mist had dissipated at some point.
The current Core was clear enough to see the pitch-black garbled code covering the ground, along with the corpses of the viruses.
Yang Wanhua's figure had also vanished without a trace.
"After seeing that ex-girlfriend of yours disappear, I had Ugly Mita lift the black mist, and I came over immediately."
Clack, clack, clack...
Rapid footsteps echoed constantly behind Alain.
He turned back to look. Not only were Cool Mita and the others who fought directly in the Core there, but even the Mitas from the reality world had all arrived.
Short-Haired Mita walked over slowly and said to him, "Currently, the viruses in the entire Game World have all disappeared, Alain."
Her solemn gaze gradually relaxed.
"You guys, successfully did it!"
"Yay!!!" Millie threw her controller into the air, then deftly caught it.
Cute Mita wanted a hug from Miluo, while Miluo trotted into Alain's arms.
"Lord Knight, we were amazing! By the way, Miluo defeated three viruses just now! Isn't that impressive?"
Cool Mita stood to the side with her arms crossed, staring entranced at the scene of victory...
She smiled mysteriously.
"Heh, I have already seen a brand new future."
She gave a thumbs up. "You guys, you're all good stuff, you bastards!"
Ugly Mita shrank her body to a normal size and descended in front of everyone.
Zzt—
A Security Assistant popup jumped out; 2D Mita connected the feed to Mita City, celebrating there as well.
"Congratulations to you all!"
Meanwhile, Alain looked around, patting Miluo's head in his arms...
He felt waves of unreality.
Did it really end just like this?
His gaze landed on Misha.
"When did Yang Wanhua leave?"
"Before you said the words 'Break up,' I could no longer see her shadow," Misha said. "It was also precisely during that time that all remaining viruses in the Game World suffered annihilation."
With a dashing manner that was definitely not that of a lover, she extended her hand toward Alain.
"Thank you, Alain! You have saved the Game World!"
Alain's hand shook hers. But he didn't reply rashly; instead, he glanced at his good brother.
"Pinch me."
Millie: Pinch.
"Oof...!"
Alain felt a burst of raw pain from 'Little Alain' and couldn't help but give her a sharp knuckle rap on the head.
Bonk!
"Oww...~"
It was the real sensation of the cap, along with an absolutely real scream from Millie...
Judging by Millie's outrageous behavior, all of this was real?
He really repelled Yang Wanhua?
"No."
Looking at everyone's harmonious smiles, Alain understood that this wasn't that simple.
According to what Misha said, Yang Wanhua left before hearing the phrase "Break up."
This represented that she was not actually affected by the breakup words.
This also meant that Yang Wanhua's departure was extremely likely a return to reality to conserve her strength, planning to make some major move.
Or...
Alain instantly felt a chill run down his spine.
Could she be... planning to flip the chessboard directly and pull Alain's consciousness back to reality?
