"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, happy birthday! Happy birthday Luo Yingjie!"
Wen Yue sat in front of a graveyard as she sings her very best version of a happy birthday, it was her happiest tone, yet can be described as a grievous one.
"Has it already been a year since you slept for an eternal damnation? Were you partying wherever you are?"
Wen Yue bit her lips to stop any tears that may form. Luo Yingjie does not deserve any of her tears, he was just a bastard who sacrificed himself for another bastard and left her alone in the world of living.
"You were a crazy bastard when you were alive, and now that you are dead, how dare you still be a scum and hurt me like this? Did you know the bastard you saved is now living the best life as we speak? That's the birthday gift they have for you-- Ungratefulness."
Wen Yue closed her tired eyes. She thought that there will be no more tears left after crying every damn night, but Luo Yungjie is just a bastard that can get her to cry every time.
[He is the definition of a bastard, Luo Yingjie.]
Wen Yue giggles. Guess her sadness is reaching an extreme point It's all because of that crazy scum, Luo Yungjie.
[ As a matter of fact, Luo Yingjie created many chaos. He is the menace of a menace.]
Wen Yue facepalmed.
[Oh? Was it that bastard's birthday today?]
Wen Yue opened her eyes, and it was a different place from Luo Yingjie, that bastard's grave. It was an undescribable space, because she was so shocked to even describe it.
[You finally opened your eyes.]
At most, she can describe that a screen is talking to her. And it was so damn scary.
[Hmm, you and Luo Yungjie are quite the same in that sense.]
An LCD is actually talking to her. Wen Yue was a hundred percent sure that she has lost it
[The only difference is that bastard wacked me.]
[ While you are calm——no, shouting a like a headless chicken.]
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Luo Yingjie, you idiot, help, help!!"
....
Wen Yue sat in front of the screen, she didn't calm down, just pure shock.
[Now that you have 'settled down,' let me explain it again.]
Wen Yue's empty eyes darted back and forth from Luo Yungjie's wanted picture to the talking screen. Her eyes still questioning the situation.
[ After his accident, Luo Yingjie was given a chance to reincarnate or to be our helper. Afterall, he wasn't suppose to die just yet. And he chose to be our helper.]
From that, Luo Yungjie became a so-called 'hero' in other worlds. He became the embodiment of justice, and braveness.
"What?"
[ However, it was our miscalculation. Luo Yingjie was still a mortal. Little by little, he was influenced by his surrounding, and he became depraved. At one point, he destroyed the world he was supposed to save.]
Wen Yue blinked, what the screen was saying to her became unfathomable. Justice and braveness being associated with Luo Yingjie made her comprehension dropped to a negative level.
[The justice and braveness that he showed was nothing but a pure fabrication, Luo Yingjie is the personification of a madman!]
"He is a madman!"
Wen Yue thought that this weird screen is talking nonsense, but now, she felt a desperate connection with it.
[I know. Luo Yingjie created a massive crime, and he was punished for it. His soul was destroyed and sent to other worlds for atonement.]
"Punished? When?" Wen Yue asked nervously.
[ Like, just five hours ago? The between worlds are huge, so his sould shard may experience lifetime already.]
Wen Yue gulped:"So, what was I doing here?"
[You're his collateral damage.]
Wen Yue's expression went from "..." to "???"
[Luo Yungjie does not have family except you whom he had written in his form.]
The talking screen then suddenly showed Luo Yingjie's form that contains his name, age and other necessary information. At the bottom of it, she saw her name under family section.
Wen Yue- My crazy little idiot
Wen Yue- My cutie patootie
Wen Yue- Luo Family's Wen Yue
[ Is he your boyfriend or something?]
Wen Yue stare at Luo Yungjie's profile picture. It seems that it was just take recently. Seeing that, her mood became unstable.
"So what is it that you want me to do as a collateral damage?" Wen Yue expressed without batting an eye. Her eyes all glued up to Luo Yingjie's picture, who have a not-so-pleasant expression.
The sudden difference in Wen Yue prompted the screen to say:[I'm not an enemy, you can be sure on that.]
The screen was quite bewildered about their uncanny resemblance in exuding danger. It became so sure that Wen Yue is the right person.
[What I need you to do is to retrieve Luo Yingjie's soul shard. Knowing him, the punishment will never be a punishment, but rather his hunting ground.]
[If Luo Yingjie blackened, another world will be destroyed, his soul will be shattered into tiny bits of pieces, until he became part of those worlds as a nourishment, no, the world will be his nourishment.]
Wen Yue's vision blurred. Yet before it completely fades, she was so sure that something changed in the family section of Luo Yingjie's profile.
