Chapter 85: The Most Romantic Ending! Chase the time!!
[ Silly Rocky, of course I understand what you mean, as for my answer... ]
When Little Gui Zi checked the latest month's communication records.
She discovered that Leslie had actually replied!
Her breath hitched immediately!
Could it be...
That she was about to witness a beautiful and pure love story!?
-Space station-
The surrounding staff members were first surprised, then filled with joy!
"Rocky, that kid, is something else!"
"We all misunderstood him; this is true love coming! ~"
"Rocky, you're doing great! You've won over the goddess of the Secret Records Division! You're really making our Geo-Division Chief proud!"
"Shouldn't we have a grand wedding ceremony? All the staff members of our space station should participate to celebrate!?"
However.
Just as everyone was anticipating the following response.
Little Gui Zi suddenly froze.
"Eh? It's gone?"
"What about the rest!"
"This crucial part of the reply is damaged!"
"Who the f* did this!"
Little Gui Zi was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet.
She immediately went to the monitoring room to retrieve the surveillance footage!
A familiar figure appeared in the surveillance footage!
Seeing this person.
The space station staff members all exclaimed in surprise!
"Ah?"
"That person is... Rocky's teacher, Bernard?"
"He was the one who kept advising Rocky to let go of this relationship, and now he's actually come to sabotage it?"
"I know Teacher Bernard too, he's a stubborn old man, but I didn't expect him to do something like this."
"I heard that Bernard also had a passionate relationship when he was young, how can he not understand his disciple's feelings!"
"Is scientific research that important? Damn it! I'm quitting tomorrow!"
Little Gui Zi was also very angry.
She immediately ran back to point out the mastermind!
The old man initially refused to admit it.
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Young people don't study; they just know how to wander around."
But when the [surveillance footage] was placed in front of him, Bernard had to admit it.
"Alas! You little brats, you're really making me worry sick!"
"I destroyed the record, all for Rocky's sake! He's been neglecting his studies all day because of Leslie... and that's not all."
"Not to mention that you people lack a fundamental understanding of the situation, Leslie, she..."
"She..."
Seeing this.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
Not only the space station staff members, Asta.
But also Little Gui Zi and all the players online.
They were all witnessing what kind of ending this relationship would lead to.
[ Something happened? ]
"No, she's unharmed. Moreover, she accepted Rocky's confession," Bernard replied.
"But they can't be together."
"If you think I'm the one interfering, then you're wrong! You little brat, you're too clever for your own good."
"They can't be together... they can never be together."
"Do you know why? No, you don't. Few people understand what a starquake really is..."
"If properly protected, a starquake won't cause physical harm to people."
"However, the gravitational collapse caused by a starquake will cause huge changes in the space-time curvature of the affected starfield."
"This means that our time flow rate is inconsistent with hers."
"From the moment the starquake occurred, the time difference between Leslie and us will gradually increase. The time it takes for her to send a reply will change from one month to one year and may even extend to ten years."
"Not just messages, all her activities are like this. Before she leaves the abnormal gravitational environment, every month she travels in the galaxy will cost us decades of waiting!"
Hearing this fact.
Everyone was shocked.
What followed was a long silence.
Little Gui Zi's eyes were filled with tears, and she muttered in disbelief, "How could this be..."
"This mission is actually like this..."
And Bernard continued, "If Rocky, including us, is living in a [now] point of existence."
"Then relatively speaking, Leslie, she..."
"She is already living in the [future]."
"...I was once a young man too."
"I think, compared to being rejected, [should have] but [cannot] be with someone who understands you, that is a crueler thing."
[Maybe there's still a way...]
[At least he was promised.]
[It shouldn't be up to you to decide!]
Gui Nai Fen wiped the corner of her eye with the back of her hand and chose the first option.
Bernard shook his head and said, "There's no way."
"After knowing the truth, Rocky will have to spend dozens of times the time waiting for a message that should have returned quickly."
"Maybe when he's old and gray, like me, Leslie will finally return to [Herta's Space Station]."
"But the time that has passed on her is so little, perhaps she is still the same age as now."
"Then, how can they be together?"
"Space can be crossed; but time is untouchable!"
This sentence, like a ruthless law of the universe.
Made those who still had illusions feel like they had been hit head-on!
So cold!
So hopeless!
Inside the space station.
The staff members were already in a sad atmosphere.
Some female staff members couldn't help but start to cry.
The male staff members shook their heads and sighed.
Patting each other's backs, comforting each other.
Inside Asta's office.
She also had a look of loneliness on her face.
Such a helpless and sad love story happened in such a small space!
But suddenly.
She seemed to remember something, and a gleam of light appeared in her eyes!
"Maybe, there's still a chance!"
"I can help him!"
"I can also help her!"
"Arlan, quickly check Rocky's action records to see if he has left the space station!"
"Yes, Miss, I'll go right away!"
At this time, in the live broadcast room.
Little Gui Zi faced two important choices.
After speaking, Bernard handed her two backup signal transfer records.
A red backup represents the truth, recording Leslie's true reply and the truth about the starquake.
The other blue backup means a lie, which contains Bernard's fabricated reply rejecting the confession.
Gui Nai Fen suddenly remembered.
A sentence that Kafka said at the beginning of the game.
"When you have the opportunity to make a choice, don't let yourself regret it..."
Yes.
Now is the time to make that choice!
"I..."
"I'll still give him the truth; he should know it and have the power to choose their own path!"
Gui Nai Fen chose to deliver the [ Red Translation Record ].
Rocky couldn't accept it for a while: "She went to the future. And I stayed in the present... is that so?"
"Then the long time I miss her, to her, isn't it just an inconspicuous moment?"
"I didn't expect even time to be unfair to people."
After reading all the content, Rocky gradually understood all of this.
After thinking for a moment.
Rocky suddenly laughed.
"To wait for a person for a lifetime, to endure endless longing and loneliness..."
"Honestly, buddy, you don't really think I'm that naive, do you?"
"Haha! Of course I won't wait for her! I won't wait!"
Rocky decided on the spot not to wait anymore!
Seeing this.
All the staff members of the space station couldn't help but sigh.
"Alas... Rocky is right, this, there's really no way to wait..."
"I understand Rocky, but feel sorry for Rocky at the same time..."
"In the distant cosmic scale, we ordinary people are indeed too small."
"I'll go find Rocky later and pull him out for a good drunk with us brothers."
In Little Gui Zi's live broadcast room.
Many netizens also sent barrages one after another——
"I didn't give him the red truth, I gave him the blue lie."
"You who choose the truth have no heart! Why let two people who will never meet wait bitterly, do you understand, tell me how he can chase!"
"Decisively blue lie, he has too many words, seriously work for Miss Herta!"
"I gave the red truth; he has the right to know that he is loved, unlike me."
Taking a look at the barrage.
Gui Nai Fen didn't know whether her choice was right or wrong.
Just when she thought that the final ending would end with Rocky recognizing reality.
Rocky suddenly added another sentence.
Let her suddenly wake up and instantly sit up in her seat!
"I won't wait..."
"But I'm going to chase her!"
"I'm going to chase time!"
Suddenly.
The [Embark on a Journey] BGM started!
All the players watching this scene were shocked to see what was on the screen!
Originally, they thought Rocky was about to give up this relationship!
But they didn't expect.
He made a decision that surprised everyone, and everyone felt that he was extremely bold!
"Since her space-time curve has become a great canyon, then instead of hoping for her to come out, wouldn't it be better for me to cross this great canyon?"
"Maybe I'll spend ten years finding her who has just spent a month, but our time flow rate can be the same from then on, which is better than sitting here and waiting."
"I'm already tired of staying here... As a staff member of the [Herta Space Geo-Division], I haven't even seen the real galaxy, I'll be a laughingstock sooner or later."
"I think you must be like me, also very curious about what kind of scenery is in that still deep space."
"Magnificent and lonely spectacles, unknown and beautiful dangers, and the person I'm desperately asking for..."
"When I find Leslie, one day, I will come back and tell you everything I saw on this journey..."
"At that time, I will also ask you to be our bridesmaid, don't forget this agreement!"
...
"Go chase time? This guy is really awesome!"
"Pure love warrior fell to the ground in response."
"I would like to call it the Pure Love Star God!"
"Damn it! This is too brave!"
"I didn't see the wrong person! I really didn't see the wrong person!"
...
Inside the space station.
All the staff members burst into cheers!
Then they applauded Rocky in unison!!!
"Come on!"
"You can do it!"
"This decision is too romantic!!"
Inside the module.
Rocky, who was about to set off, was suddenly called to stop.
It was Arlan from the Defense Division.
Rocky asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Mr. Arlan?"
"I have already submitted my resignation application to Miss Asta, and the procedures for this trip are completely compliant..."
"No, Mr. Rocky!"
A voice suddenly came from behind.
Asta rushed over from the main control module.
"It's difficult for you to catch up with her on an ordinary spaceship!"
"This interstellar spaceship... I'll lend it to you!"
"It not only has the latest power system, but also has a warp function, which can help you find her faster!"
"The supplies and everything are ready. Get on the ship quickly!"
Rocky was stunned in place.
He didn't know why the station master knew that he was going to chase his star.
But seeing Asta's approving gaze, he felt that there seemed to be no point in asking so much.
"Thank you, Station Master Asta."
Before boarding the ship, he bowed deeply to Asta.
"Be sure to catch up with her!"
Asta waved goodbye to the spaceship..
