Spin-off: Cause and Effect, and Rules 3

Shen Yan saw Number 2 walking over and was always afraid she would go mad and take revenge on society.

Yet, every time she suppressed her emotions to the extreme, Number 2 would gather herself again and return to a normal state.

Number 2 forcefully corrected her own behavior, causing Shen Yan to feel a wave of heartache.

"She is really too pitiable and too kind. Is there really no way to let her have an easier time? If it were me, I would have turned dark and gone mad long ago; I couldn't have remained like this."

Shen Yan squatted on the ground, drawing circles in the dirt with aching sympathy.

The man stood by her side, also observing every move Number 2 made—he needed to ensure that she suffered no substantial harm to feel at ease.

"I helped her return here, which was already a violation of the rules; I can't do anything more for her."

"You call yourself a god."
