TISMML Chapter 85.2

Nan Yu had heard Fei Yizheng say these words before.

Because it’s a machine, there’s no need to worry about fate specifically retaliating against anyone.

It doesn’t understand or have such emotions.

Fate only pulls people and things back onto the so-called right track with minimal cost when deviations occur.

Just like when she and Fei Yizheng are discussing plans and fate here, there’s no need to worry about fate making any advance preparations.

Otherwise, this ‘battle’ simply couldn’t be fought.

The only way to disable this machine is to break its original program.

The more damage it causes, the less sustainable it becomes. Eventually, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and if the program fails, the machine will naturally be unable to function.

The current situation is probably approaching the limit of its program’s self-destruction. The machine is resorting to a final effort. If successful, it can still barely operate; if it fails…

There’s only one outcome.

Nan Yu’s side wins.

“If I were fate, I’d most likely not only cause an earthquake, but also a man-made disaster.”

When Fei Yizheng said this, half his face was hidden in the dim light, appearing expressionless, as if he were discussing something completely unrelated.

But when he turned his gaze to Nan Yu, a hint of human emotion flickered in his eyes.

Despite the complex situation and the possibility of death at any moment, Fei Yizheng’s eyes held a captivating glow.

There was no fear, no worry, only the single, clear image of Nan Yu.

—Ah, this person seems to really like me.

At this moment, Nan Yu’s mind actually wandered.

This thought inexplicably popped into her head.

However, she quickly shook off this inappropriate thought and refocused her attention on Fei Yizheng’s words.

“If it’s a man-made disaster…”

“You mean that while the earthquake happened, someone deliberately blocked our escape route?”

“Very likely.”

Fei Yizheng’s gaze returned to the distance: “Food, water, and safe shelter—if any one of these is destroyed, the fragile human body won’t last long.”

After all, this is a small island, not mainland China. If something happens, the entire island could disappear.

“No. Fate certainly won’t be so ruthless.”

Nan Yu’s words were resolute: “There must be a way to survive.”

Fei Yizheng paused. He didn’t understand why Nan Yu was so certain.

At this point, fate doesn’t even care about how one dies; would it really show any mercy?

Naturally, it would be best to wipe out all these viruses.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be even more troublesome if something else happened?

Nan Yu knew Fei Yizheng’s doubts. She silently looked at him, their eyes meeting.

“Because Fei Yunjin is the male lead, the male lead in a book.”

Finally, she said it.

Nan Yu guessed that Fei Yizheng must have discovered Fei Yunjin’s difference and importance, but his guess was unlikely to be that this world was a book.

Isn’t that denying one’s own existence?

Are the people in the book real people?

What does the world in the book even matter?

If Nan Yu didn’t speak up at first because she didn’t trust Fei Yizheng enough, then her continued silence was due to these concerns.

You’re just a character in the book, or perhaps a tool used to add suffering to the male lead.

Your life, everything about you, is unimportant.

Your struggles and pain for so long are insignificant.

Even if an ordinary person didn’t go crazy, they would still feel terrible, right?

The howling sea breeze blew through the trees, through Nan Yu’s long black hair, becoming the only melody in the silent night.

Nan Yu didn’t know what to say.

She was never good at comforting others, and a vague sixth sense told Nan Yu that Fei Yizheng didn’t need comforting and that it would be ineffective.

“So…”

It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also felt like only a moment before Fei Yizheng finally spoke.

“Is that so?”
