Chapter 1590: Chapter 508: Time Imprisonment_5

But he had already experienced scenes like this over thirty times.

Tears had dried up, and sadness was exhausted.

"You have a great mother; I admire everyone who can sacrifice themselves to protect their family."

"Xiaoxiao, now that you see such scenes again, you don’t cry, do you?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao didn’t want to admit it, but facts speak louder than words.

"In the future... when I think of mom, perhaps I’ll still shed tears, but the degree of sadness might be far less than when I first saw her die."

"After experiencing her death dozens of times, it seems I’ve gradually accepted it."

Wen Xishu nodded, but then changed the subject:

"But Yuan can’t accept it."

Zhou Xiaoxiao was taken aback.

Wen Xishu said:

"Actually Yuan is a particularly... immature person."

"Yuan... immature?" Zhou Xiaoxiao found it difficult to associate this word with Yuan.

Wen Xishu continued:

"The governance of the Mechanical City is a mess, but what she thought she was doing was extracting human pain. However, she actually doesn’t understand that it’s not the happy people who don’t feel pain. Quite the opposite, happy people have the greatest sensitivity to pain."

"Only numb people won’t feel pain; only those who lose their humanity won’t feel pain."

"She is very immature, but because her statistics are strong and her combat power is exceptional, everyone in the Mechanical City submits to her."

"As long as a person is strong enough, people will overlook her weaknesses."

"In the Mechanical City, she uses her overwhelming combat power to appear mysterious and powerful."

"In your family, she uses data information to make you feel she is omnipotent. Yet she... is really just a child."

Zhou Xiaoxiao was completely stunned, never expecting someone to evaluate Yuan in this way. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

"Only with pure childlike innocence can someone laugh repeatedly at the same joke. And only someone like this... can be trapped in the same scene on the same day, unable to break free."

These words struck Zhou Xiaoxiao like lightning, and he seemed to understand somewhat.

Wen Xishu pointed at the distant corpse of Li Wei’an:

"You see, your mom’s tragic end makes you very upset, right? But after experiencing it dozens of times, your distress will sharply decrease."

"Now, you’re still sad, but at least you won’t shed tears anymore."

"That is humanity. This species is inherently looking forward... inherently accepting birth, aging, sickness, death, joy, and parting."

"So our emotions toward the same event will only fade over time."

Zhou Xiaoxiao trembled and said:

"But... but Yuan... isn’t like this?"

Wen Xishu nodded helplessly:

"Yes, she is human, but different from traditional humans. Your mom possesses great power, a power that can imbue objects with humanity."

"Yuan wasn’t originally a human, just an AI. In her world, she can accommodate vast information, but most importantly, it always revolves around your family of three."

"As the Lord of Machinery she is formidable, I have no doubt, in the future Three Towers War she might be an existence that can alter the course of the outcome, also the strongest existence I’ve encountered outside the constellation."

"But as a person... she is also very young."

"Fragile people are always trapped in the same day. Some soldiers have strong bodies but post-traumatic stress keeps them living in the trauma of a certain day."

"Some people seem knowledgeable, but perhaps after losing their deepest love, they also become trapped in that day and can’t move forward."

"Naturally, given enough time, a person can move on. But what if that person isn’t whole? What if she simultaneously possesses a part that mistakenly views growth as mechanical?"

"The entrance time of the Forbidden Land Tower, and every looping scene here... all indicate Yuan’s inability to accept your mom’s death; she’s eternally trapped on that day."

"Reviving your mom is the only thing that allows her to feel she can act, to momentarily emerge from this shadow."

"But once this goal is told to be unachievable, she will become imprisoned on this day."

Wen Xishu’s sigh echoed again:

"Eternally serving Li Wei’an, forever protecting your underlying code, preventing her from moving forward like real humans; instead, she considers forgetting your mom, letting time dilute this pain, as a betrayal and a mistake."

"You’ve experienced this scene dozens of times, finally learning to resist these emotions."

"But she won’t, she doesn’t want to, when recalling your mom, follow humans in allowing time to dilute that guilt."

"So she endures every day, as if experiencing Li Wei’an’s death pain for the first time."

"This scene will loop countless times because she will never find reconciliation. Precisely for this reason, she needs the Zeroer’s help to reset. Because she knows, this pain will ceaselessly regenerate."

Tears reappeared in Zhou Xiaoxiao’s eyes.

He clenched his fists:

"What can I do... to help Yuan break free?"

Wen Xishu said:

"She is already human, just refusing to grow. Next, we might do some very cruel things to help her grow, to give her the strength like you have, to move forward from the past. Maybe..."

"Maybe this will be cruel to you too."

Zhou Xiaoxiao said:

"I’m not afraid!"
