Chapter 223: Pure Love Supporter Firefly-chan!



Xia Wen nodded gently.

After watching Firefly leave, a voice suddenly came from behind him—it was Ruan Mei.

"She should have heard everything before leaving."

Xia Wen turned around in surprise and looked at Ruan Mei. "What do you mean?"

"The targeted drug will be ready next month." Ruan Mei said calmly.

"You f***ing..."

------------------------

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Xia Wen was at a loss for words.

Ruan Mei remained as calm as ever. "I am a scholar, and I must objectively present the facts to you."

"No, sis. Couldn't you have just said it first? At the very least, you could have eased Firefly's worries." Xia Wen took a deep breath.

He finally understood why the audience didn't like Ruan Mei that much.

This person really had no ordinary sense of empathy.

"That is precisely the issue."

"Firefly is the longest-surviving patient of Entropy Loss Syndrome that I know of."

Speaking of this, Ruan Mei finally showed a slight change in emotion. She spoke as if describing a treasured artifact, "Most patients with Entropy Loss Syndrome exhibit symptoms following the three stages I just outlined."

"But Firefly has extended the first month indefinitely until now."

"This is a true miracle."

"Most patients diagnosed with it have a stable period ranging from one to six months."

"I've always been curious about how Firefly managed it, and in the end, I arrived at a theory that defies science."

Xia Wen listened silently, unable to comprehend.

"Heh, this inspiration only struck me after joining MiHoYo and experiencing the unique atmosphere within the company."

"And that is—Firefly's perseverance comes from her love for life, or rather, her desire to live."

Ruan Mei seemed lost in thought, completely immersed in her own world. "It relies on willpower and hope, something so abstract and intangible. Isn't it fascinating? I never thought I'd one day use this as the basis for a theory."

"By the way, have you ever experienced the psychological changes of an Entropy Loss Syndrome patient?"

"They are always filled with hope for resistance at first, but soon, they are consumed by the fear of death and the despair of helplessness."

"Until their mental state completely collapses."

Xia Wen was left speechless.

Even though he had never truly experienced it himself, he could still imagine the overwhelming despair.

After all, Entropy Loss Syndrome was different from other diseases.

To this day, not a single case of recovery had been recorded worldwide.

Patients had no idea when their life would start heading toward the end.

One moment, they could be in a good mood, and the next, while brushing their teeth in the morning, they might notice bleeding gums and suddenly be gripped by terror—was this a sign?

No matter how much mental preparation they had done beforehand, when faced with death, their defenses always crumbled in an instant.

Even if they remained unwavering, how about once? Twice? And more times after that?

As time passed, their hearts would inevitably become fragile under such extreme psychological strain.

When death truly loomed over them, with the possibility that the next second could be their last, what would they become in such an environment?

Xia Wen dared not imagine.

In the end, perhaps death itself was a kind of relief for the patients.

"This kind of mental torment is the real killer."

Ruan Mei spoke slowly, "But Firefly is different. That child's willpower and love for life are simply incredible. Her mindset is barely affected by Entropy Loss Syndrome. Instead, the disease has become her motivation, making her passionate and excited about everything."

"Did you know? Since joining MiHoYo, Firefly has been eating in the cafeteria every day."

"In one month, she has tried every single dish in the cafeteria without repeating a single meal."

Xia Wen understood what she meant.

But deep down, he felt even more heartbroken for Firefly.

"At the very least, she should be informed of this, so she doesn't worry so much."

Xia Wen exhaled, making a suggestion.

He didn't want to see Firefly continue like this.

"My advice is not to tell her."

"I mentioned the three-month timeframe earlier, and I chose my words carefully for a reason."

"The targeted drug will be available in a month, and I told Firefly that within the first month, her body functions would return to their best state."

"With her personality, she will cherish this time and think of nothing else. Instead, it will make her mindset exceptionally relaxed during this month."

Ruan Mei said seriously.

Xia Wen finally understood Ruan Mei's little intention.

Firefly was the longest-surviving patient with entropy-loss syndrome in this world. When it came to fighting against entropy-loss syndrome, no one had more experience than Firefly.

And the targeted drug was still a month away.

Ruan Mei deliberately revealed this information to stimulate Firefly's mental resilience, so that in this month, she could reach the most perfect state.

Compared to physical changes, Ruan Mei believed that the mental aspect was the key.

"Before the drug is made, we need to ensure an adequate supply of proteins."

"Take her to experience new things, constantly fulfilling her desires."

"In this way, when the drug is finally ready, I believe both Firefly's mental and physical state will be perfect."

"After all, this is the first treatment for entropy-loss syndrome, and we must consider all factors."

Ruan Mei, like a chief physician, provided a special "treatment checklist."

"Understood." Xia Wen nodded.

Many plans were already forming in his mind.

The nearest one was tomorrow's ceremony.

Originally, he was only going with the Xianzhou team, but now it seemed he had to bring Firefly along.

"Then let's not waste time, go find Firefly."

After saying this, Ruan Mei buried herself in the reports on the desk and, without looking up, said, "I'll stay here until the drug is completed. I won't be able to help with the company's matters this month."

Xia Wen didn't say anything more.

After quietly closing the office door for Ruan Mei, he let out a long sigh.

Then, he shook his head with a wry smile.

Damn.

Today's emotions were too intense.

Originally, with the second episode airing and breaking new records, the entire company was filled with joy.

Then suddenly, entropy-loss syndrome was brought up. Just as despair set in, they discovered it could be cured.

After slightly adjusting his mindset, Xia Wen went to find Firefly.

However, from passersby, he learned that Firefly had gone to the rooftop.

This news startled Xia Wen, and he didn't dare to delay.

He rushed up to the rooftop.

Sure enough, he found Firefly's familiar figure by the railing.

But it was different from what he had imagined.

At this moment, Firefly was facing the empty rooftop, holding something in her hand, loudly shouting transformation lines related to SAM.

Clearly, she had felt immense embarrassment reciting these lines before, yet now, she was tirelessly repeating them over and over again.

As if she were performing some kind of ritual.

A moment later, she stopped, panting.

She opened her right hand, which held no transformation device, only a simple, multicolored woven cord.

It was the cord she usually used to tie her hair. At some point, she had taken it off and clutched it in her hand, treating it as a transformation device.

Of course, she couldn't really transform into SAM.

But Firefly didn't care. She just stared at the woven cord in her hand.

"SAM will replace me and exist in this world."

"SAM will become my eyes and see this beautiful world for me."

After silently reciting these words in her heart, Firefly put the cord away.

Then she turned around and saw Xia Wen walking toward her.

In an instant, Firefly felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious." Xia Wen walked over.

Seeing Firefly in good spirits now, he finally felt completely at ease.

At that moment, he suddenly froze.

He watched as Firefly stepped forward, wordlessly pulled up his sleeve, and tied the woven cord around his wrist.
