Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 186: The Masterpiece Plot Unfolds!

"Huh?"

Maxiao was stunned.

They had replayed these mories so many tis, yet this was the first ti sothing like this happened!

"What's going on? Is the machine broken?"

Just then, the female doctor beside him spoke:

"It seems sothing is interfering with the client's mories, preventing clear images from forming."

Indeed, everything the players had experienced so far was built upon John's mories.

No mories ant no images.

"But it doesn't matter,"

The female doctor waved her hand:

"These are just John's childhood mories anyway, not particularly important to us."

"Our next step is to implant the desire to beco an astronaut in John, fundantally realizing his wish to go to the moon."

Hearing this!

Maxiao frowned, his expression clearly disapproving.

Because in his view, this matter was far from resolved.

What did the yellow-and-blue rabbit represent?

Where did the platypus that always accompanied Xiao Xi co from?

Why was the lighthouse so important?

What was Xiao Xi trying to express through a lifeti of origami?

And most importantly!

Why did Old John insist on going to the moon?!

Maxiao couldn't figure it out!

Because from the start of the ga until now, neither Old John nor Xiao Xi had ever ntioned anything about "going to the moon"!

So theoretically, Old John's dying wish shouldn't have anything to do with the "moon" at all!!!

Maxiao had a feeling the answers to all these questions were within reach!

But unexpectedly!

At this mont, the female doctor revealed the true purpose of this mory replay—

According to company policy and executive vice president Sam's instructions, whether for this job or any other!

As architects, their only task was to strictly fulfill the client's request as per contract!

In other words, from the very beginning, the company's instruction wasn't to "find out why Old John wants to go to the moon," but to "forcibly implant the desire to go to the moon during his childhood," thereby completing the contract and getting paid!!!

Hearing this!

The chat barrage erupted with curses!

Lines like "Damn you Gu Sheng, you absolute villain!" scrolled across the screen!

But despite this, facing his higher-ranked superior, Maxiao had no choice but to reluctantly accept the company's arrangent.

Following the original plan, they began implanting the dream of becoming an astronaut and landing on the moon into young John.

They inserted astronomy courses into his elentary school curriculum.

Set astronomy as his extracurricular activity.

Replaced the movie posters at his usual theater with NASA recruitnt ads.

Swapped all movies to aerospace-thed ones.

They even arranged a NASA recruitnt event for high school John!

Yet, despite their exhaustive efforts!

John's life trajectory remained completely unchanged!

From start to finish, John showed not the slightest interest in space!

Go to the moon? Screw that!

Maxiao was utterly baffled!

He couldn't understand it!

A man who showed zero interest in "going to the moon" throughout his entire life!

Had a dying wish to "go to the moon"?!

"Wait..."

Finally, Maxiao was at his wit's end, even finding it sowhat laughable:

"Bro, why exactly? You clearly had no interest in the moon your whole life! Why suddenly decide to go when you're old?!"

Maxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and the barrage echoed his disbelief—

'This is too f*cking absurd, you can never guess how this old villain designs plots'

'This is a straight-up logical paradox!'

'I have a feeling Old Biden is clenching his fists!'

'The big reveal is coming, right?'

'We're so close to the truth'

'It must be right behind these damaged mory fragnts!'

'Ahhhh I can't take it anymore, bro just tell what's going on, I'll never complain again, please bro (rolling around)'

'Damn, soone investigate this, it's too real to be acting...'

'Hahahaha...'

Just as everyone was exclaiming how unpredictable this was!

Knock knock!

Suddenly!

A red light flashed on the screen!

Then!

The doctor sent an urgent ssage—

[Bad news, doctors. You need to hurry]

[The patient's condition has suddenly worsened. He doesn't have much ti left]

The sudden deterioration caught everyone off guard!

"Holy shit!"

Maxiao, who had been watching the barrage with mixed emotions, instantly straightened up!

Because at this point in the ga, he was fully invested!

And now!

The truth was just one step away!

Yet Old John might not make it!

No way!

If I don't get the ending today, not only will Old John die with regrets, I won't be able to rest in peace either!

Thinking this!

Maxiao imdiately grabbed the joystick, racing against death, every second counting!

Exactly!

Since forcibly implanting the desire to go to the moon in John wasn't working, they had to go back to the source!

The female doctor continued trying to figure out why the wish implantation failed.

anwhile, Maxiao contacted the company headquarters to inquire about fixing the mory gaps.

After discussion, headquarters remotely sent them a mory reconstruction core code.

With this code, they could potentially awaken Old John's deepest mories and fill in the missing pieces.

But they needed sothing with the sa "scent" as the void chaos to serve as a guide.

Amazingly!

The perfect guide turned out to be the squirrel Maxiao accidentally ran over at the very beginning of the ga!

The next second!

Zoom!!!

White light flashed as ti rewound, children's laughter filled the air.

They had arrived at John's childhood.

Following the laughter, Maxiao and the female doctor saw little John, about six or seven years old.

He was kicking a ball and running past them.

However!

Engrossed in his ga, little John didn't notice the approaching danger.

Chasing the ball, he ran behind his mother's car.

And his mother, while reversing, completely failed to notice her son behind the vehicle.

"Hey—!!!"

Crash!!!

The tragedy happened in an instant!

Maxiao and the female doctor stood frozen, watching John's screaming mother rush out of the car, kneeling beside her bloodied son and shouting for help.

The sudden tragedy made everyone's hearts clench.

"Could this accident have caused John's amnesia?"

But then.

Another childish scream pierced the air!

And it was from this scream onward!

The ga began layer after layer of shocking revelations!

All truths, all emotions, every answer would be revealed—

......

Following the scream.

Maxiao's pupils dilated!

Because the child now running toward them was the real John!

And the na the mother was desperately calling wasn't "John"—it was "Joey"!

In that instant!

Fragnts from that wedding day flashed through Maxiao's mind—

At the wedding, John's mother had once called him "Joey."

John had explained it was his grandfather's na, a nickna his mother often used.

But now it seed!

The truth was far more horrifying than John's explanation!

A tragedy!

Had taken little John's twin brother, leaving severe psychological trauma for the boy who witnessed it all!

So, to help her son forget this horrific scene, John's mother fed him large doses of beta-blockers!

Causing him to lose these bloody, tragic mories!

The sudden plot twist even caught Maxiao off guard!

But what he didn't know was that this masterpiece-level plot developnt was just beginning!!!

Filled with shock and disbelief!

Zoom!

White light flashed as ti moved forward.

They arrived a few months before little Joey's accident.

The amusent park was bustling with noise and excitent.

Mother held Joey's hand, and Joey held little John's.

The brothers had just finished a whack-a-mole ga.

Big brother Joey won a beautiful toy car.

While little John's prize was much lar.

But big brother Joey was very kind to his younger sibling.

"It's okay, John. I'll give you the car when we get ho,"

Joey secretly comforted little John:

"Or... next year, when next year cos, I'll definitely win you a brand new car!"

"Well... okay..."

Little John pouted, still unhappy:

"I guess that's all we can do."

The family of three went to rest at so tables near the amusent park.

Children's energy seems endless.

Little John excused himself to go play on the swings, kicking pebbles moodily as he headed toward the park's back hill.

Maxiao quickly followed.

After building up all this suspense!

The truth was now at the door, gently knocking!

......

Little John went alone to the back hill, found a tree stump to jump onto, and sat there gloomily, chin in hands, staring at the sky.

Night had fallen, the sky filled with countless stars.

The moon shone like a lighthouse amidst the sea of stars, casting its cool, gentle glow.

All around, insects chirped in the quiet night.

Rustle—

Suddenly, Maxiao heard footsteps behind him.

The next second, a little girl with orange-red hair, a calm expression, wearing a blue dress entered the scene.

In that instant.

Maxiao felt his heart skip a beat!

Because walking toward them was none other than Xiao Xi!

He thought their first eting was that chance encounter in high school.

The audience thought their first eting was that chance encounter in high school.

Even John himself believed that high school eting was his first ti seeing Xiao Xi!

But that wasn't true!

Over a decade earlier!

When they were just children!

The two had already t on this very back hill of the amusent park!

This was where they first saw each other!

Hearing footsteps behind him, little John turned to see the stunned Xiao Xi.

The next second, the naturally autistic Xiao Xi turned to leave.

"Hey! Wait! Wait..."

Little John jumped off the stump and chased after Xiao Xi:

"Hi... I... I'm John. What's your na?"

Xiao Xi hesitated:

"...You're in my spot."

"Oh... this... uh... your spot?"

Facing Xiao Xi's "accusation," little John seed flustered:

"Sorry, I didn't an to take it."

"Then... do you want to sit there with ?"

Childhood John was clearly much bolder than his high school self, innocently inviting Xiao Xi to watch the moon together.

Under the bright moon, amidst countless stars—

The little boy leaned on the wooden stump, the little girl sat beside him, two young heads tilting back to gaze at the starry sky.

......

"Did you know? There are countless lamps in the sky."

Little John looked at the twinkling stars in the dark blue firmant.

"Mm."

Xiao Xi tried her best to respond to John.

"You said this is your spot? Do you co here often?"

"Only at Easter."

"You don't like crowds... actually, neither do I."

"Mm."

"Hey, you still haven't told your na!"

At this, Xiao Xi seed uncomfortable.

"I won't tell you... people at school laugh at it for being too old-fashioned."

Little John shrugged:

"Uh... okay, but... it can't be more common than 'John,' right?"

"But what's wrong with being common?"

Xiao Xi spoke up:

"I wish just once I could have a normal na like everyone else,"

"Just like the stars in the sky—they're all similar, but each one is beautiful..."

Reading this, many viewers felt their noses tingle.

Xiao Xi knew she had serious psychological issues.

This condition made it hard for her to express her thoughts.

If possible, how she wished she could be "normal" like John.

After a mont's silence, Xiao Xi mustered her courage and asked:

"Have you ever... tried connecting stars to make an Easter bunny?"

Little John was puzzled: "Like finding constellations? I've never looked for a bunny..."

"Mm... want to try?" Xiao Xi tentatively suggested.

[Okay! We'll definitely find the best bunny constellation, just for us!]

Little John waved his small fist:

"Let's see who finds it first! Three... two... one!"

"I found it."

"Huh... huh???"

Little John suspected Xiao Xi cheated but had no proof.

Scratching his head awkwardly: "Where is it..."

"There..." Xiao Xi gazed at the sky.

Following her gaze, little John froze: "Wait... wait!"

His eyes suddenly lit up!

"I think I see it... there!"

Little John excitedly pointed at the twinkling stars!

"See that bunny? Tell about it?"

Xiao Xi was happy too—this was her first ti finding soone who resonated with her.

"Those are its two ears and head!"

Little John said excitedly.

Xiao Xi smiled, as pure as the moon above:

"What else?"

"And there... those are its two feet!"

"Mm?"

"Its head is round, its ears are long!"

"Exactly! Anything else?"

"And... and the moon!"

Little John grew more excited!

[The moon! That's its round belly!]

At this mont!

Maxiao felt chills down his spine!

Because these exact words were what Xiao Xi had asked John about her entire life, even on her deathbed!

She was persistent, even obsessive!

Again and again she asked her lover—what was that yellow-bellied blue rabbit?!

And now!

The answer finally revealed itself to everyone!

It wasn't just a simple origami figure.

But a constellation they once found together in the night sky, the best bunny constellation that belonged only to them!!!

This was the answer Xiao Xi had spent half her life trying to hear.

Unfortunately.

Because John took beta-blockers and lost these mories.

And Xiao Xi's autism prevented her from properly describing it.

So she kept folding paper, kept asking, and John kept answering!

Like two parallel lines that could never et.

They accompanied each other through life, yet this enormous regret persisted their entire lives!

Instantly!

Both players and viewers felt their eyes moisten!

But what they didn't know.

Was that the most tear-jerking part was yet to co!

Why Old John was so determined to go to the moon—

The answer was quietly erging...
