Starting with a Breakup: Why Is the True Heiress My Possessive Ex? - Chapter 63
“Parking isn’t allowed here.”
“Sir, this is an official duty vehicle. We’re carrying out a mission, so we’re authorized to park here.”
Seeing an elderly man slowly walking over to remind them, Gu Tong stepped forward and patiently explained.
“Oh…”
The old man thought for a moment.
“Parking isn’t allowed here.”
“Sir, according to the regulations, we’re allowed to park here while on duty.”
“Oh, but the rules here say parking isn’t allowed.”
Jiang Xue had no intention of stepping in.
After all, handling conversations like this was Gu Tong’s responsibility.
“Is this what Joy Path Fluxweavers usually do?”
“Not really.”
Jiang Xue softly explained to Xu Nian.
“Interrogations, questioning people, and anything involving communication are generally Tong Tong’s responsibility.”
“You know… the words of a Joy Path Fluxweaver tend to be more convincing.”
“…It doesn’t really look that way.”
Xu Nian stared blankly.
A dignified three-star Joy Path Fluxweaver…
…was actually being stonewalled by an old man.
Was this really the conversational ability of a Joy Path Fluxweaver?
“She’s just having fun.”
“For Joy Path Fluxweavers…”
“If something feels interesting, they’ll naturally keep playing along.”
“…Ah.”
Xu Nian nodded in understanding.
That was indeed how Joy Path users were.
Sometimes…
They really did seem idle in the strangest ways.
After all—
A thousand pieces of gold couldn’t buy a Joy Path user’s willingness.
Take Xu Nian herself, for example.
Lately, she always wanted to throw aside her homework, toss away her textbooks, and boot up her computer to play games.
It was probably another side effect of the Joy Path.
To be honest…
Standing outside in the cold wind was incredibly boring.
The Fluxbeast was inside the hospital.
Meanwhile, they were stationed on the outer perimeter, responsible for blocking any escaping Fluxbeasts while watching for suspicious individuals.
Most of the time…
Nothing happened at all.
And because they were officially on duty…
They weren’t even allowed to play with their phones.
So boring.
This is torture.
Qingya was probably fighting brilliantly inside.
As expected of the protagonist treatment.
“Hm…”
Xu Nian suddenly remembered something.
She still had one simulation attempt left.
Why not use it to figure out the ability of her Fluxweapon?
Right now…
Her folding fan could only… fan people.
The biggest problem wasn’t the weapon itself.
It was that Xu Nian still hadn’t decided what direction she wanted its ability to develop toward.
She already had several interesting ideas.
She simply couldn’t choose.
Then let’s begin.
[Ding! Detected that the host has initiated a simulation.]
[One simulation attempt consumed. Remaining attempts: 0.]
[Simulation commencing…]
[For various reasons, you successfully salvaged your nearly broken relationship. Through a series of fortunate events, you even became a well-known reserve member of the Public Security Bureau.]
[You now possess a stable government job.]
[But… how long can such stability really last?]
[You obtained a Fluxweapon embryo.]
[This was your official reward for becoming a registered Fluxweaver.]
[Unfortunately, time waited for no one.]
[Before you even had time to understand your new weapon, another Fluxbeast incident erupted.]
[As a support-type Fluxweaver, you remained stationed safely on the perimeter, far away from direct combat.]
[With nothing better to do, you decided to spend the downtime developing your Fluxweapon.]
[An endless stream of bizarre ideas flowed through your mind.]
[For example…]
[What if you shouted an over-the-top chuunibyou line while waving your folding fan… then dragged your target into a grand theater?]
[Inside that theater, they’d be forced to watch your performance, receiving different effects depending on the play you acted out.]
[After some thought… you rejected the idea.]
[That sounded exhausting.]
[Did you really have to perform every single time you fought?]
[Although acting on stage made you incredibly happy…]
[You weren’t a full-time actor.]
[That much physical labor was simply unacceptable.]
[Another idea emerged.]
[What if the folding fan instantly changed your clothes?]
[Without any preparation, you could switch outfits as quickly as Sichuan Opera face-changing.]
[Reality distortion belonged to the Joy Path anyway.]
[Changing clothes shouldn’t be impossible.]
[…Then you rejected that idea too.]
[An S-rank Fluxweapon whose only function was changing outfits?]
[Wasn’t that a little… pathetic?]
[You continued brainstorming.]
[Joy Path Fluxweavers normally needed others to believe their words before reality could be distorted.]
[Could the folding fan eliminate that prerequisite?]
[Wave the fan.]
[Release a cloud of illusion-inducing mist.]
[Force the listener to believe every word you spoke.]
[Reality would naturally bend accordingly.]
[…Still not satisfied.]
[That was merely strengthening your existing abilities.]
[A true S-rank Fluxweapon should compensate for your weaknesses instead.]
[Then another thought appeared.]
[Joy Path users lacked direct offensive capabilities.]
[What if the folding fan itself became your weapon?]
[A single wave could unleash bizarre attacks.]
[Illusions.]
[Reality distortions.]
[Strange and unpredictable strikes.]
[It sounded excellent.]
[But…]
[It was still a fan.]
[Using a folding fan as a weapon somehow felt as ridiculous as asking a dog to catch mice.]
[Sure, it might work.]
[But it would never be as straightforward as Qingya’s chainsaw.]
[Eventually, you became too lazy to keep thinking.]
[What if your Fluxweapon could simply copy the abilities of other Fluxweapons?]
[Even if the copied versions were weaker…]
[Versatility alone would make it worthwhile.]
[You decided this would become your future direction.]
[You silently engraved the idea into your heart.]
[Then you gave your Fluxweapon a name.]
[—”Ya.”]
[After all…]
[If your girlfriend could shamelessly name her chainsaw “Remembrance”…]
[Then giving your fan an equally embarrassing name seemed perfectly fair.]
[You spent the entire operation imagining different abilities.]
[Only when the mission finally ended did you look up.]
[Three people had entered the hospital standing upright.]
[Only one came back the same way.]
[Leng Xiao walked out.]
[Xiao Ge was being supported.]
[Your girlfriend survived.]
[But she suffered severe injuries.]
[No matter how extraordinary her talent was…]
[She was still only a one-star Fluxweaver.]
[The moment she was restrained by a stronger opponent, the gap in strength became overwhelming.]
[You froze.]
[You never imagined Qingya would pay such a terrible price.]
[The emotional corrosion ravaged her body.]
[Perhaps…]
[She would spend the rest of her life confined to a hospital bed.]
[Your heart ached unbearably.]
[Even so…]
[You stayed by her side.]
[You encouraged her.]
[You told her stories every single day.]
[You hoped those stories would give her hope to keep living.]
[Yet…]
[Day after day…]
[She only grew thinner.]
[Her eyes became increasingly hollow.]
[Hidden deep within them…]
[Madness quietly took root.]
[One day, as usual, you came to visit her.]
[To your delight…]
[She seemed much more energetic than before.]
[She even smiled at you.]
[She handed you an apple.]
[You happily accepted it.]
[Soon…]
[Your eyelids became heavy.]
[“I’m sorry, Niannian.”]
[“The more stories you tell me…”]
[“…the more useless I realize I am.”]
[“Every night I dream that one day…”]
[“…you’ll leave me because I’m too weak.”]
[“So I’ve already made my decision.”]
[“Rather than watching you leave…”]
[“…I’d rather kill you while you still love me most.”]
[“That way…”]
[“You’ll belong to me forever.”]
[A blade pierced your heart.]
[After ending your life…]
[Your girlfriend quietly followed you into death.]
[Simulation complete.]
[Unlocked Ending: Twin Souls Beyond the River.]
[You believe the greatest love is crossing into the afterlife together.]
[There, there are no Fluxbeasts.]
[No danger.]
[Only two souls remaining together forever.]
[Though your lives end in reality…]
[You still remain inseparable.]
[What a rational form of love.]
[Please choose a reward:]
[1. Fluxweapon “Ya” acquires every ability imagined during the simulation.]
[2. Obtain a beautiful girlfriend whose body has already been irreversibly corroded by emotional energy.]
[3. An apple laced with enough ingredients to instantly render someone unconscious.]
