Chapter 428

Silver Wolf: "What's there to be awkward about?"

Silver Wolf: "Isn't this cool?"

Silver Wolf: "Everyone's very satisfied with your transformation scene."

Hua Huo: "This armor is really great, quite interesting~"

Hua Huo: "Shouldn't I also build a Hua Huo armor of my own?"

Hua Huo: "Then pretend to be a Gramer Cavalry unit across the Milky Way?"

Sang Bo: "Whoa, that's tough."

Sang Bo: "I'm not interested in anything this complicated."

Ying: "Sam is really cool."

Ying: "If only I could have a set of armor this cool too…"

The video continues.

The scene shifts.

Back to the scene of Liu Ying and Ren driving together.

{..... }

{After today, Yepera's name will vanish from Milky Way history, and the Eternal Flame Manor will take its place, receiving an invitation letter in the not-so-distant future…}

{That will be your next destination. }

After a moment of silence,

Ren spoke slowly.

{The Land of Dreams, Penacony. }

Liu Ying whispered softly.

{I hope you find the answers you seek there… or perhaps, release. }

Ren offered her blessing.

{……}

{What you're saying… is those three deaths, right? }

Liu Ying asked.

{343 told me about them. }

{I only regret they weren't in my script. }

Ren's words carried a touch of melancholy.

{I want to live, but I'm not afraid of death. }

{The opposite of death is immortality—but that has never… been what I sought. }

{All men must die, and so must I. }

{Death is like a script—an unyielding fate. }

{But precisely because of that…}

{We must choose where to be buried. }

Hu Tao: "Huh?"

Hu Tao: "This scene feels familiar—didn't we already see it?"

Gui Naifen: "Miss Hu Tao, think again—the first half we've seen."

Gui Naifen: "But this second half of the dialogue, we haven't."

Pai Meng: "Mr. Ren feels deep regret that those three deaths weren't in his script…"

Pai Meng: "Goodness, it just feels weird."

Ren: "Seeking death? Nothing strange about that."

Ren: "If anyone can grant me death, I'll offer them a great gift."

Star: "Whoa, if someone didn't know the situation, they'd think you're utterly insane."

Fu Ningna: "I have a question—can Mr. Ren truly not die?"

Fu Ningna: "If Miss Huang Quan tried, could she manage it?"

Huang Quan: "No guarantee, but I could try."

Miss Qingque: "Oh dear, why not just keep living?"

Miss Qingque: "Why must one go seeking death…?"

Miss Qingque: "We really don't get it."

March 7th: "Maybe… they're just tired of living?"

March 7th: "Cough, cough—don't misunderstand, I'm stating this factually."

An Bei: "Mr. Ren seeks death, but Miss Liu Ying seeks life."

An Bei: "They're complete opposites."

Star: "I think Miss Ying's last words made a lot of sense."

Star: "Death is unavoidable, but we can choose where to be buried."

Star: "Hey, I've decided!"

Star: "When I die, I want to be buried inside the train!!"

Star: "Then even after death, my ashes can keep exploring!"

Star: "Isn't that the perfect example of exploration?"

March 7th: "Buried in ashes inside a train???"

March 7th: "Are you trying to turn yourself into a ghost and make the train some kind of haunted place?"

March 7th: "What horror film?"

Miss Sushang: "Originally, it was still a somewhat sad thing."

Miss Sushang: "But the moment it came out of Stelle's mouth, the whole flavor changed completely..."

The video continued.

【Is your existence meant for destruction?】

Blade asked curiously.

【Aren't you the same?】

【Blade, the ending you yearn for... was never defined by others.】

【If I die now, I'll only be a weapon.】

【But I think... I should die as a person.】

【Even though that definition is still far from me, isn't that what ordinary people spend their whole lives searching for too?】

【A short name... that can be carved on a tombstone.】

【The one that belongs to me once bore the inscription of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry, now it bears Stellaron Hunters, and one day...】

【It will write Firefly's name, and the brilliance she bloomed at the end of her life.】

Nahida: "Suddenly realized."

Nahida: "What Miss Firefly yearns for, seems to be just a life like an ordinary person?"

Firefly: "That's right, it's exactly like that."

Firefly: "As a member of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry, before joining the Stellaron Hunters, I only lived as a weapon."

Firefly: "All the experiences ordinary people go through are, for me, dreams I can look at but never reach..."

Firefly: "I was born as a weapon. If nothing had gone wrong, I should have broken on the battlefield like the other cavalry, as a weapon."

Firefly: "But, perhaps by fate, I wasn't broken on the battlefield, but survived."

Firefly: "Still, I can hardly be considered a complete person."

Furina: "Just from those few words, I felt the tragedy of Miss Firefly's past."

Furina: "A living person, born as nothing but a weapon..."

Furina: "That's just too unacceptable!"

Hu Tao: "Um, treating people as weapons, isn't that a bit too disrespectful of human rights?"

Dr. Ratio: "Unfortunately, in the eyes of the Glamoth Empire, gene-cloned soldiers don't count as people!"

Dr. Ratio: "Rather, they're more like objects and tools to be discarded anywhere."

Stelle: "Damn!"
