The shrunken toy truck stumbled through the shrubs for a while, before leaving the forest and slowly making its way towards London on a hidden path.

Seeing that they had escaped danger, Amemiya Ying sat down, his back drenched in cold sweat pressed against the wall of the cargo container.

He lowered his head, took a deep breath with lingering fear, and after a while, turned his face to Ke Mingye and slowly started speaking, breaking the silence.

“What exactly is your relationship with Black Judge?”

“He’s my brother.”

At that moment, Ke Mingye was casually playing Minesweeper on the cellphone Ju Zipi gave him, tapping the screen and replying offhandedly.

“Your brother?”

“Yeah, that guy has a really weird temper,” Ke Mingye said, scratching his chin, “He’d rank in the top three for being nuts in my family.”

Without a second thought, Fan Quan blurted out, “Then you must be number one.”

“Cut the crap, my mom is first, my dad is second, and only then it’s my older brother,” Ke Mingye spoke indifferently, “Oh, right…”

He suddenly seemed to remember something, turning his face towards Amemiya Ying.

Amemiya Ying was still processing the information, and his eyes, which he couldn’t hide his shock when looking at Ke Mingye, inadvertently asked.

“What?”

“Uh…”

Ke Mingye hesitated for half a second, raised his head, and with a sympathetic look stared at Amemiya Ying.

“Comrade, I’ve slaughtered your brothers Amemiya Miren and Amemiya Naoto. They were both beasts, but you wouldn’t still harbor old feelings and blame me, would you?”

“You’re indeed quite a beast yourself.” Before Amemiya Ying could speak, Fan Quan preemptively commented.

Ke Mingye turned his head, looking at him with disdain, “I was just trying out what it feels like to tell someone to their face ‘I’m here to kill your whole family,’ staging the scene I’ll face a year from now when I say this to my own family.”

He paused for a moment, “And Fan, you did it too, slaughtering his two brothers puts you at the top of the list.”

“Kid, it wasn’t me, the system made me do it,” Fan Quan replied.

Listening to their conversation, Amemiya Ying was frozen in place. He had had people in the organization inquire before, thinking that his family might have been killed by someone from the Heavenly Dog Front, but he hadn’t expected it would be the people right in front of him.

“Spider Man, just like that you told him, what if he turns against us because of his family later on?”

Ju Zipi, who was driving, listening to their conversation, lightly tapped the toy steering wheel with his hand, and glanced through the slit towards the cargo area, casually commenting.

Ke Mingye leaned on one hand, replying irritably, “Let’s test his reaction first, if he can accept it then we’ll keep the memory, if not, then forget it.”

Fan Quan said, “You really have a wicked taste.”

“What do you mean by, keep my memory?” Amemiya Ying caught onto the phrase, asking warily.

However, Ke Mingye did not pay attention to him, just kept talking to himself, “By the way, can I now treat him as a temporary confidante?”

“Since you’re usually under such pressure, just vent it out,” said Fan Quan.

Hearing this, Ke Mingye sighed deeply, turning his reddening eyes to the baffled Amemiya Ying and said emotionally, “Comrade, do you know, while playing Dice Monster, I always say I’m very lonely, really very lonely, but truth is, I am very lonely. I really want to get close to some people, to be so intimate, no matter how deeply immersed I get, there will always be moments when I suddenly realize it’s all fake, I’m just a thief, and then those images shatter before my eyes, and I suddenly feel guilty, lonely, and pained.”

He then took a deep breath, calmed his tone slightly, leaned his head back against the wall, and droned on to Amemiya Ying.

“Comrade, how am I supposed to face them a year from now, should I tell them: ‘Actually, I’m Dice Monster, I’ve been by your side all this time, plotting to kill your whole family, you idiots have been played by me’ and laugh haughtily–‘Now you arrogant fools finally understand how powerful I am, the Ke Mingye you knew has long been replaced by me, hate me all you want, you’re already knocking on death’s door’ like that?”

“That’s too pretentious. Doesn’t fit the character of Dice Monster,” Fan Quan said, “I suggest you tone it down, after all, you’ve lived with them for a year, leave them with a good impression in the end, and you’ll earn some brownie points for yourself.”

Ke Mingye said casually, “Really? I thought the lines I just said were pretty cool. Dice Monster blowing up every episode, like how Team Rocket gets blasted off in every Pokemon episode, wouldn’t it be a delightful contrast if one day they captured Xiao Zhi, roasted Pikachu and swallowed it whole?”

Saying this, he shrugged, “Also, what do you mean by not fitting the character of Dice Monster, when it comes to that point, why do I even need to maintain a character? After I’ve slaughtered their whole family, should I still leave them a fake good impression?”

At this point, Ke Mingye sighed, let his hands hang over his knees, turned his face towards Fan Quan, and continued to speak irritably, “To them, I’m just the beast that slaughtered Ke Ming. No matter how close I get to them now, the realer it gets, the more furious they’ll be. Honestly, I’ve grown a bit tired of this role-playing game.”

“So, is that really what you think in your heart?”

After listening to his rambling complaints, Fan Quan casually asked.

“Who knows?”

Ke Mingye didn’t meet his gaze, turning his cheek away inadvertently.

He opened his mouth, turned to Amemiya Ying, “You know, playing Dice Monster, I often say I’m very lonely, and I really am lonely, I truly want to be close to some people, and no matter how intimate our connection seems, no matter how deeply I immerse myself, there will always come a moment when I realize it’s all fake, I’m just a thief, and then the scenes before my eyes just shatter into pieces, and I suddenly feel guilt, loneliness, and pain.”
