As Orion asked this question, both Mark and Mei Lin looked at the old man for answers.
"I have seen the ending," the old man said, shocking them. "But it's a bad ending."
"So, you need us to play out the good ending, is that it?" Orion asked, frowning.
"If only it were that easy," the old man sighed. "The bad ending is the original ending of the world you live in. For you, the ending hasn't come yet, but it's already written. So, no matter what others do in this world, the ending won't change. It will always end in the bad ending."
Orion frowned, hearing the old man. If the ending wouldn't change, then why call them? He also had something else to ask. "Why do you want to change the ending? Isn't it just the natural flow of the world? Even if humans lost, so what? The story you started has come to an end. It's a complete book. Why do you want to change it?"
