“Ke… Keyi, what are you doing here?” Diqi looked at Keyi, her emotions complex.
“Diqi, I’ve come to take you away! I won’t let him take you!”
“Take me away? Keyi, what are you talking about?”
“We’ll discuss this later.” Keyi shifted her gaze to Yilsuo: “Yilsuo, I want you to let go of Diqi, forever!”
Yilsuo smiled calmly: “It’s you again. What do you think you can do to me?”
Keyi sneered: “Yilsuo, this is a particle gun, you’ve heard of it, right? The bullets can automatically track the target until it disintegrates into particles. This is a special gift I prepared just for you. If you leave alone, I might spare you. Otherwise, you’ll completely disappear from this world.”
She had finally tracked them here.
She drove through the research institute’s gates, charging straight ahead to this silver light.
Diqi was indeed here.
She would not let Diqi go again.
“Keyi, have you gone mad?” Diqi never expected Keyi to do something so crazy.
“Diqi, don’t be afraid. I’ll kill him and take you far away.”
Diqi moved in front of Yilsuo, spreading her arms, calmly looking at Keyi: “Keyi, I want to be with him. No one can stop us. If you want to kill him, you’ll have to kill me first.”
Keyi trembled, asking: “Even if it means death… you still want to be with him?”
“Yes.”
Keyi trembled more violently: “Do you… really… love him?”
Diqi said nothing.
“Don’t you… love… me?” Keyi could barely speak.
After a moment of silence, Diqi slowly said: “Now, I only want to be with him – forever.”
Keyi looked like she was dying, her gun now unsteady: “Diqi, how could you… do this… to me…”
“I’m sorry…”
These three words announced Keyi’s death. Diqi took Yilsuo’s arm, and they stepped into the spacecraft. Keyi wanted to pull the trigger, but she didn’t even have the strength to stand. The gun in her hand felt like it weighed a thousand pounds, unbearable.
Yilsuo and Diqi’s figures disappeared through the door, the cabin door closed. The spacecraft hummed, jets of strong airflow shooting from its base, slowly rising.
