When Lin Yu was young, he once watched a famous Action Hong Kong Film on a movie channel. It was roughly about a frustrated, disheartened old police officer who teamed up with an unemployed young man pretending to be a cop, facing off in the city against a Rich Second-Generation Criminal Gang who killed and robbed for fun in pursuit of excitement.
Near the end of the film, when they confronted the gang of spoiled rich heirs head-on, they called all their parents over to break the gang's morale and persuade them.
The dialogue between two of the villains left a deep impression on Lin Yu. Holding guns upstairs and looking at their own parents below, they let out helpless sighs.
"I'll give you a million. Kill my dad."
"I'll give you another two million. Help me kill my dad!"
What Bai Ying described now did bear an uncanny resemblance in some respects to the film Lin Yu had watched back then.
He patted Bai Ying on the shoulder sympathetically.
"Before I came in here, I thought all the prisoners locked up here were unforgivable criminals. But I never expected that even a crime like 'destroying the world' could be committed out of helplessness."
Bai Ying waved her hand. "I can't exactly call myself innocent or helpless. Even without that incident, I wouldn't have destroyed other worlds, but judging from the result... I really am a 'criminal' who should be locked up here."
"No matter the reason, I directly caused devastation and the destruction of civilizations in other worlds... That sin is something no excuse can erase."
"When I chose to do that back then, I was already prepared to bear those sins."
As Bai Ying spoke, she paused, then added, "Because, to be honest, I actually enjoyed the process."
