Although Pado kept pretending not to know Su.

However, Sue still absolutely trusted Vilvi and Pado.

As Su finished speaking, the camera returned to Pado.

The cat's feigned ignorance voice followed:

"The final link? Boss, I don't quite understand what you mean..."

"Oh... I see, it's a hidden gem, right? Wait here, I'll go get it right now~"

As the scene unfolded, the figure of "expert" Virvi appeared in front of Pado.

"...Alright, Pado, stop pretending to be deaf and dumb."

"My purpose in existing here as the 'backdoor' is to allow you to maintain your own identity as well."

"And...it did work, didn't it?"

Seeing this, the players finally realized what was happening.

So... Cat Cat's act of not recognizing Sue and Kevin before was all an act!!

Why is she pretending not to know her?

...Without a doubt, the timid, pitiful, and easily satisfied cat just wants to live in this blissful "dream".

She seemed to have no desire to participate in the battle against the Herrscher of Corruption anymore.

The players were somewhat surprised.

However, they did not blame the cat for being timid, nor did they blame the cat for being addicted to such a dream.

Just as Su said before.

She was just that kind of girl, easily satisfied.

Even knowing it's fake... the cat is still satisfied...

deserter?

She's just an ordinary girl who got a bit luckier...

Players actually hope that the heroes can become deserters, that they can escape to a place where there is no collapse, and live the life they want.

But players also know...

They had no chance to desert.

They will not desert.

Cats... definitely not!

Because she was also one of the Thirteen Heroes.

The fact that her memories could be preserved in the Paradise of the Past already shows that the cat is definitely not the kind of person who would abandon her companions.

Therefore, the more timid the cat appears, the less willing players are to let the cat take risks.

Thinking about all this, the audience fell silent.

Surprisingly, the comments section became very quiet.

…………

in the game.

Even after Virvi exposed her disguise, Pado still refused to admit it and continued to play dumb:

"Look at what you're saying, there's no back door here. We're an honest business, dealing with everyone fairly."

The expert crossed his arms and looked at the cat with a slightly mocking gaze: "Pado, can you answer one question for me?"

"Since you here do not possess the memories of the Fire-Chasing Moth..."

"Why weren't you surprised that Su was able to call you by name when we first met?"

Pado: "..."

"Uh……"

"Haha..." Pado chuckled sheepishly, "...When it comes to business...how can you just say things like that directly?"

"Sir, is there anything else you need? If not... I still need to go elsewhere to get more goods."

Expert Velvi: "Of course, although that [customer] will be quite special, but... I need you to be its guide."

Pado: "Special?"

Expert Wilvi: "Yes, it wasn't an individual, but an attack from Kevin."

"While its destructive power is undeniable, if it's unleashed like this, it will only destroy a large amount of irrelevant data, rather than the truly crucial [point]."

"Now, only you can do this—use the Thousand Realms One Vehicle to open a passage to the outside world, allowing this attack to be used where it is most crucial."

Paddy: "...Uh"

"Boss, I don't understand any of what you're saying," the cat said, still pretending to be clueless.

"Otherwise...you should find someone else, I...I..."

"Shall I go first?"

As she spoke, she took a few steps, preparing to repeat her old trick, hoping to disappear without a trace before the other party could react.

Expert Velvi crossed her arms and smiled gently: "Okay, goodbye~"

However, the other party's completely unintentional attitude made the cat stop its 3.5-step pace.

"Ah...ah↗?"

The cat froze on the spot.

The words that Vervi had just said kept echoing in her mind.

She knew that this step of hers was the most crucial.

If I escape...Vilvie's plan will be ruined...

What about those comrades who sacrificed their lives...?

"Padre, I've said it before, the sole purpose of this 'backdoor' is to allow you to maintain your own identity."

I also lack the power to force you.

"Look—there are no boundaries here, you are freer than ever before."

"You don't need to do what you *should* do; just do what you *want* to do."

That's what they say, but the players can all see it.

Vilvi trusted Pado very much, almost unconditionally.

Otherwise, how could this genius have come up with such a series of plans?

Meanwhile, Padre remained silent.

"..."

The cat looked incredibly disappointed and aggrieved.

What are the things I *should* do?

What is it that I *want* to do?

"Really..."

"What a waste of time..." the cat said, her voice filled with complaint and grievance.

"If only... if only I had ignored her in the first place."

"..."

After saying that, the cat fell silent again, but her steps continued to move towards her designated destination.

Meanwhile, the mournful sound of a piano rang out at just the right moment in the game.

miHoYo... is coming, carrying a speaker!

……

P.S.: Waaaaaah... Kitty, my kitty...

[The image shows Paddy.]

Chapter 368 [Empty Dream] Chasing the Fire...

Outside the game, Mei knew very well what would happen next in the story.

She couldn't help but frown.

The same applies to Pado on the other side.

Aside from the final farewell, this part of the story was the most heart-wrenching for her.

She glanced at Li Sushang and found that the other woman was intently watching a live stream on her phone.
