Don't think of rebirth.

It was a dark night. Jiang Chuchu sat on the edge of a tall roof, swinging her legs and looking up at the bright full moon in the sky above her head.

The cold concrete beneath her body and the whistling wind in her ears reminded her of how dangerous she was.

But she didn't care. She just stared at the full moon without blinking until her eyes ached and tears came out.

This building, which was about to be demolished, was empty at this time, and the water and electricity had been cut off. Jiang Chuchu tripped several times as she walked up in the dark.

Normally, the rooftop is actually locked, but her fate is probably destined to end today.

The door was not locked. When she pulled it gently, cold wind rushed in from outside, as if welcoming her death.

She lowered her head and looked at the tall buildings in the distance below her feet. The bright lights were like... matches.

Is the beautiful scene that the little match girl sees every time she lights a match really an illusion or a recollection of the past?

Jiang Chuchu stretched out her hand towards the distant lights on the ground, but they were too far away.

She could not grasp the distant lights across the distance of space, nor could she grasp the beautiful dreams of the past across the distance of time.

On a cold winter night, the little match girl eventually fell into eternal sleep in the illusion of warmth, but she did not deserve such an illusion of happiness.

It should fall from the sky right here and now.

If it was before, she would have been afraid of the pain, right? She also couldn't accept such a miserable and tragic death.

However, now she feels that only by experiencing this level of pain can she alleviate some of the guilt in her heart.

It's all her fault. If she hadn't been so stupid, so selfish, and so naive, how could the Jiang family have ended up like this?

Her father and brother were still worried about her and thinking about her until the end.

If they gave up on her early, at least they could still find their own happiness, right?

Jiang Chuchu let out a hoarse laugh, she stood up shakily and looked down again.

It was too dark and she couldn't see what was below. It was a good thing that way, so she wouldn't be so scared when she jumped.

Just as she was about to take a step forward, a voice came from behind her.

[Rather than dying alone and in pain, why not take revenge on those who have hurt you? ]

Jiang Chuchu subconsciously wanted to look back, and the center of gravity of her body completely shifted and she fell downwards.

However, she still saw it clearly, flashing by - her own face.

The fall became extremely slow, and Jiang Chuchu fell on her back, but a mirror seemed to appear above her, and the "person" who looked exactly like her was looking at her expressionlessly.

[Instead of committing suicide, why not choose to die together? 】

[As long as Ning Siqi still covets your money, there will always be a way to make him appear in front of you, and you will always have a way to hurt him. ]

[It is too cowardly to hide in a place like this and quietly seek death instead of choosing revenge and swinging a knife at the person who hurt you. ]

That "Jiang Chuchu" stretched out his hands towards her, aiming at her neck.

[If you really wanted to die, you should have died a long time ago. It's ridiculous that you are still struggling to survive and then commit suicide now. ]

【Go to hell quickly. 】

Jiang Chuchu felt a sense of oppression in her throat, and her breathing became increasingly difficult. Her lungs seemed to be shrinking to the extreme, causing her pain but she could not get relief.

Should she have died a long time ago...

Jiang Chuchu's mind was dizzy. Why didn't she take revenge on Ning Siqi? Was she in so much pain now just because she didn't take revenge?

Revenge, revenge... revenge on Ning Siqi... her sins and suffering...

If...she could do it again...she would ask Ning Siqi...

【wrong! 】

Someone shouted like this, like lightning piercing through the dark clouds and splitting the entire night.

Jiang Chuchu woke up suddenly, and only then did she realize that the hand that was pinching her neck was actually her own hand.

That "Jiang Chuchu" just stood on the edge of the tall building from beginning to end, looking down at her condescendingly, with an expression on his face that was completely unlike that of a human.

Warm memories flowed into Jiang Chuchu's mind, and she saw her sixteenth birthday party.

The faces of her once familiar classmates became so unfamiliar in her memory.

Did the students in Class 3 have such bright smiles? Would they wish her a happy birthday so sincerely?

And how could she herself be so confident and dazzling?

That is another future more incredible than dreams and hallucinations.

She saw her mother whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Zhu Qinglan looked healthy and energetic, completely different from the pale face she had on the hospital bed.

She saw her calm and composed father. Jiang Youwei was pleased with her growth and discussed the management of Yunjinlou with her seriously.

And her brother, Jiang Yuxuan, is no longer the heavy and tired look he had been after taking over the Yongchang Group. He is working in the industry he loves and enthusiastically describes his career blueprint to her.

But, those loving or cherishing eyes did not change at all.

Jiang Chuchu suddenly remembered that she was not "lingering on", but she had always known that if her family members were still alive, they would definitely not want her to die early.

She struggled to stay alive in order to live up to her family's love, but now she can't hold on any longer.

[You have tried very hard to hold on until now, and you are not a coward at all.] The voice that came later said so.

And this is just one of countless fates.

Jiang Chuchu had other choices and other destinies, but this most desperate fate was targeted by the bug.

Chong could not interfere directly with Jiang Chuchu, so he deliberately used this method to induce her thoughts, trying to instill the idea of ​​revenge in her, thereby prompting her to choose rebirth.

Jiang Chuchu has struggled to survive until now, how can she let her efforts be denied so easily?

This time the bugs were clearly stronger than before, and the methods they used were more sinister.

After the system appeared, the bug quickly gave up its goal and disappeared from the system's perception range, leaving no time to catch and destroy it.

The system can only barely capture the trace of this insect and submit it as a tracking target to ensure that it can respond in time the next time it is discovered.

Jiang Chuchu had already fallen to the ground, but fortunately, with the systematic "hospice care", she didn't suffer so much.

"I... am going to see my mom, dad and brother..." Jiang Chuchu looked at the moon above which was getting farther away from her.

She almost forgot that, until the very end, none of her family members gave up on her. How could she decide on her own that she was a burden?

But, sorry, she still couldn't go on by herself. She felt too lonely and alone.

She wanted to go home, so she was going to find her family.

Her death was not for atonement, but for reunion.

Now, she is going to be with her family.

[Personal rewards have been distributed. ]

【Good night, Jiang Chuchu. 】
