My Players Are So Fierce – Handsome dog Frank-Chapter 2186 - 729: The Bittersweet Life of a Cement Sealed Heart (Part 3)
"It’s very important. A guest coming from far away is about to visit my territory, and as the host, I must personally go to welcome them. This is vampire etiquette."
-----------------
"Hey, you don’t look too bad; you can still eat with a big appetite, it seems it’s not as dire as you mentioned in the message."
At the Alpha Company’s operations department in the real world, "Lady Shui," wearing a mask, was sitting by Cement Sister’s hospital bed. Watching the slender figure in front of her shoveling fruit into their mouth, she couldn’t help but tease:
"You know, on the way here, I was imagining your pathetic situation, almost made myself cry. Cement, you rascal, you always manage to do weird things, making people unable to relax."
"Are you talking about the last time we met, when I talked my way into getting some research funding from you?"
Cement Sister, wearing a patient gown, glanced at one of her few friends and said:
"You still remember that, huh? Anyway, you’re a rich lady and don’t lack that bit of money."
"I’m talking about this time!"
"Lady Shui" didn’t remove her mask, but her eyes were very serious, and she said:
"You almost played yourself to death; you even said you wanted to see us one last time before dying... Was that true? You don’t seem to be dying."
"Soon, no more than twenty days."
Cement Sister shrugged with a strange "nothing-to-do-with-me" attitude and said:
"The way I’m heading towards death is destined to be different from what you imagine. Strictly speaking, my soul hasn’t decayed yet, it’s just that it no longer matches my body. When I recklessly started up the prototype machine before, it was already destined I’d face this disaster.
But you know what?"
She put down the fruit box in her hand, awkwardly wiped her mouth, held "Lady Shui’s" hand, and said:
"These days I’ve actually been thinking about this matter too, and I’ve discovered that perhaps this is fate..."
"Come on, you don’t believe in that sort of thing."
"Lady Shui" said softly:
"You only believe in your own brain."
"Isn’t it a bit late to start believing now?"
Cement Sister grinned, shook her head, and said:
"Those observers told me that this isn’t the endpoint of my life. The true excitement might only appear after death. I will break away from this boring reality and enter another more wild world. But unlike you ’experiencers,’ I am going on a one-way journey.
I’ve already bought the ticket, and it can’t be refunded now.
I really am dying, Ah Wen, but don’t worry, I won’t be leaving you all. In another world, we can finally do whatever we want without restriction.
You know, I see all this as some kind of omen...
I don’t want to spread fear to you.
But the fact is that we might also experience everything that another world is going through, perhaps decades from now, or perhaps centuries later. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
This isn’t just a simple game. While you gain happiness and satisfaction, you should also focus more on learning the valuable knowledge that exists there.
Time is unrelenting in another world too..."
"Are you hinting at something terrifying?"
"Lady Shui" suddenly became alert and said:
"Hey, can you stop being so cryptic?"
"I would like to say more, but I’m afraid after you hear it, you might want to say goodbye to your husband and children. These are under confidentiality rules, my Old Cutie."
Cement Sister sighed and said:
"In any case, let’s talk over there. You should go back now; we’ve met, shared private words, and I’ve eaten the fruit you brought. Just consider it as though you attended my funeral.
Go back now, Ah Wen.
Thank you for daring to come see me at this time.
I guess we’ll reunite over there soon. Remember to leave a spot for me in your team, hmm... Becoming a Psychic and relearning a new kind of truth seems quite nice."
She yawned, as if issuing a farewell.
"Lady Shui" bit her lip but said nothing, stood up, and in Cement Sister’s surprised gaze, bent down to kiss her emaciated cheek before turning to leave.
However, a few minutes later, the door was pushed open again, and the just-closed-eyes Cement Sister turned her head in surprise to see "Lady Shui" returning with a delivery box.
"Lady Shui" placed it in front of the hospital bed, pulled out an unusual white game helmet from it, and placed it in Cement Sister’s lap.
She said:
"It seems you don’t need to wait for death to cross over. It looks like the people over there can’t wait to see you, come on, put it on, Newbie Cement."
