......A weapon, Shen Qingqiu. You need a weapon. [ Mustering up what control she has of her one remaining arm, she lifts up her hand to cup over one of his at the side of her face, momentarily closing her eyes and leaning into his touch. It would be far more comforting, she imagines, if she were to keep his hand there. But instead she takes his fingers into hers, and removes his palm from her cheek.
Then she brings his hand down, down past her shoulder where she then presses his palm to her chest, just a little lower and to the side of the crystal that glows. ] Right here.... [ A thoughtful, almost whimsical pause. ] My heart would be here, I think.
You'll need a weapon [ She repeats once more. ] to cut through it. [ If that's how this is going to work, or if the System will simply and swiftly kill here where she kneels, or bring Luo Binghe back to do the job himself. She honestly has no idea. Yet her eyes are nothing but reassuring, don't be afraid. And, it's going to be all right, despite how grave the subject matter is. If he kills her-- if he kills her... then surely the System will be satisfied just as if she would oblige his request.
And ironically, if this is done by his hands, he can become the hero instead. A villain must pay for what they have done... didn't he also say that once, that any punishment would be justified? If she takes his words to heart, destroying her wouldn't only be an act of saving the world, it would be righteous. ]
