Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

"Su Huohuo, what did you bring me here for?"

The clear tone suddenly brought me back to reality. I suddenly woke up and opened my eyes suddenly in the hazy field of vision.

In front of my eyes is still the experimental center of the Nuclear Research Headquarters, but it is no longer such a messy scene.

The girl beside her put her hands behind her back, turning her nimble eyes to look around. The moment I met the girl's bright eyes like the sea, sadness suddenly overflowed the whole heart across the dream, and there was a faint tearing feeling in my chest like a phantom pain. I took a step back instinctively because of the pain, but the color in the girl's eyes was as gentle as ever.

The person standing here is not Xia Qianyan. It was Xia Yinci.

"Tick-tick-"

Another prophetic dream?

In the depths of my brain, there seemed to be a pincer stirring randomly. No matter how I recall, I can't remember how many times I have had prophetic dreams in a row. I can only vaguely remember that I did something related to it last night.

【Enough is enough, thank you for your company during this time. 】

My thoughts began to fall into a vortex of rampage, and the pictures of the past came one after another like flashbacks.

The hand that passed through the chest touched the teardrop, penetrating all the past between me and Xia Qianyan. Soon Xia Qianyan will invade Xia Yinci's consciousness and come to the world through her body. I will lose the chance to save Xia Qianyan and the world she created, and return to the outside world without doing anything.

[I have been waiting for you for a long time, my ruler. 】

The clear and awe-inspiring voice leaped across the distant shore of time unexpectedly.

【I will look forward to the results of your choice. 】

Unwillingly, I clenched my teeth and clenched my right hand to touch my chest that was left with phantom pain, and my eye sockets turned red.

Clearly promised to expect the result of my choice——

"You, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Yinci looked up into my eyes, stepped forward with a worried face and took my trembling hand.

The moment the girl's warm body temperature touched me, I couldn't help my nose sore, and I gritted my teeth to hold back the tears.

Think fast! Now I can't stop thinking for a moment.

Do not regret the distant stars that cannot be reached, and cherish the coming time that is still reversible.

The night of the end has not yet fallen, and now is not the time for me to give up. I had to find a way to stop this unfortunate happening. As long as you jump over the doomsday in front of you, time will continue in the brand new world. We will be able to reach the more distant future, the promised tomorrow.

The world is not afraid of short-sightedness, lest there will never be a bright dream.

"It's okay, I just suddenly thought that I have to finish what I promised you no matter what."

Since the time limit agreed with Xia Yinci is until death, I must not give up until the last moment.

"Well, of course~"

Xia Yinci put away the confusion in her eyes, raised her hand to catch my falling tears with her fingertips. I couldn't help but catch the back of Xia Yinci's hand, trembling and holding that cold little hand tightly. At the moment when our body temperature touched, her haughty eyes unconsciously revealed a gentle look, as if approaching the sea at dusk, quiet and mysterious.

She caressed my cheek and gently wiped my tear-stained eyes.

"However. If you are exhausted, if you are still unable to do anything after putting in a lot of effort, I am willing to die with you to break our agreement."

The gleam in her eyes and the indescribable expression are a bit itchy.

"So, no matter how our story ends, I will stay by your side until death."

Unknowingly, the soft words in his ears drove away the anxiety deep in his heart.

I was suddenly at a loss, and could only look at Xia Yinci's bright eyes. The rhythm of the heartbeat in the chest gradually slowed down, filled with a sense of happiness that could not help but weep.

This life is blessed with her love and admiration.

I am fortunate to work hand in hand with her to reach the end of the story.

I am deeply honored.

No words can express my gratitude.

only. Whether it is to face a sad ending together, or to explain the past in a way of dying for love. All such poignant endings, while extremely romantic, are not the future I envisioned. Because what we agreed on is the happiness of being together, not the tragedy that we will never forget.

[Su Ruo closes. I will give my life to you, I like you. 】

Since the future is handed over to me. We can't end our story like this.

"Xia Yinci, can I ask you to be the first resident of my new world?"

I mustered up the courage to look squarely into Xia Yinci's blue eyes, pointing to the fully immersive VR device on the console.

After Xia Qianyan of the Dreamer blocked Xia Qianyan of the Creator, Xia Yinci became the last door of the Creator to the present world. As long as Xia Yinci is in a state of fully immersed sleep, Xia Qianyan will naturally use her body through no openings, so that the will of the Creator cannot directly affect the present world.

Of course, this means that Xia Qianyan will occupy Xia Yinci's body in the dream, and my plan is only to temporarily block her way to the present world.

But that's the only way I can think of right now.

"Do you want to?"

Xia Yinci stared at me with her small mouth slightly in a daze for a while, the confusion in her eyes suddenly turned into a reassuring smile, and she nodded seriously at me.

"Well, I am very happy."

At this moment, I have a wonderful feeling. It was as if I was in a wedding hall at the moment. She was wearing a pure white wedding dress, smiling like a flower, and announced to everyone that she entrusted her future life to me.

"You promised so seriously that I thought I was proposing to you."

"What! You said it as if you were proposing to me. Is there still no ring this time?"

Xia Yinci puffed up her cheeks pretending to be angry, snorted and turned her head away, but couldn't hold back a burst of laughter, and couldn't help showing a bright smile. She quickly covered the corners of her mouth with her hands, only revealing a pair of very seductive eyes, she simply turned around and walked towards the console beside her without saying a word.

"You...won't you ask me why I did this?"

"No time to explain, right?"

Xia Yinci blinked her eyes and tilted her head slightly, sat sideways on the seat next to the console, and put on the full immersion device at hand. After finishing this series of actions, she seemed to think of something interesting, looked up again, and suddenly opened her arms to me, as if expecting my hug.

I couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to walk in front of her, letting my back be gently clasped by her little hands. She couldn't help closing her eyes and pressing against my forehead.

"Just like Su Huohuo, you forgive my concealment like you did before, and I have to learn to trust you unconditionally."

A throbbing wind involuntarily filled the heart. Our touching foreheads once again conveyed each other's hearts, and we were closely connected in an instant and turned into a magpie bridge.

"Su Huohuo, I will try my best to keep Qianyan from occupying my body."

"Ah, then I'll leave it to you." I couldn't help laughing, pretending to be relaxed and joked, "Please insist until I come to find you, or I won't care about you if you get lost. "

The memories in the bottom of my heart walk through the bridge that connects each other's minds, and we understand each other's thoughts as if we have telepathy.

"Understood! Then I also have something to ask you. Although I seem to be forcing Su Huohuo by saying this~ But, I have entrusted my whole life to you. So you must not lose!"

"Yeah. We'll definitely win."

I closed my eyes and silently gave instructions to the experimenters beside me.

As the sound of the machine running flowed into my ears, the screen awakened by the computer quietly illuminated my field of vision, so the warmth I felt on my forehead disappeared unconsciously, and I could no longer feel the other party's heart. I couldn't help opening my eyes. The girl in front of her was leaning on the back of the chair with her soft hair hanging down, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she had already fallen asleep peacefully.

Cherry-colored eyelids hid her starry eyes. The excitement with her in the past was gone, and an indescribable sense of loneliness hovered in his chest. I gently lifted the girl's bangs, and left a superficial kiss on her forehead, as my selfish farewell, then turned and left the experiment center.

"I'm sorry. I'll be back with you soon."

Soon, Xia Qianyan will go to the new world to occupy Xia Yinci's body. I must hand over all the information I learned from the previous two prophetic dreams to Lin Yu, and then go to the new world to face Xia Qianyan who knows everything again. . After that, I will wander in the sleeping world and save all the unsaved people including Xia Qianyan.

It must be a long wait for you, right?

But I believe.

When Xinghai is reincarnated, it will be time for us to meet again.

"What's the matter with you? Is it a precognitive dream again?"

After meeting with Lin, I briefly explained the current situation. But Lin Yu refused to let me go easily, and forcibly grabbed my shoulders and pulled me to the window. He looked around to confirm that there was no third person nearby, and frowned nervously, looking straight into my eyes.

"Su Luoyang, how many prophetic dreams have you had in a row?"

"I don't know, I can't remember..."

Speaking of which, the sense of déjà vu made me swallow the words I wanted to say, and began to avoid repeating the conversation similar to the previous precognitive dream.

Feeling uneasy about the end of fate, I slightly changed my words and said:

"I don't remember how many times I have. All in all, as I just said - the name of the Virgin Mary is a concrete symbol of the end of the world, and to some extent Xia Qianyan and Su Huilin are also the same. Doomsday will not be persistent In a single form, it will fight us in all kinds of strange combinations. In the final analysis, this is because the end of the world itself cannot be avoided, and all we can do is delay the time when it happens.”

"So... what we have to do is delay time, and the key to victory is the timing of the global live broadcast event of "Dream Ruler", right?"

In theory, as long as the immersion mode is activated before the doomsday, all the hibernation caused by us will be recognized by the world as the doomsday, thus completing the closure of this node. Just like Xia Yinci used to create new nodes to deceive his own destiny, we must also deceive the destiny of the entire world in a similar way.

The trajectory of the world's destiny is now approaching its end, but in the final analysis it has not yet reached the end.

—— Rather, the node we left in the distant future is the new starting point.

"Is the subject of the experiment the fate of the entire world?"

Lin Yu stretched out his palm helplessly, passing through his bangs and reaching his forehead. It seems that he wants to use this to support his cognition that there is nowhere to be stable.

"To be honest, it seems like it's time for me to get used to this ridiculously crazy world. Only by being crazier than this world can I overcome it. That's the reason."

Lin Yu's fist hit her chest unexpectedly. He spoke and smiled freely, using his smile to release the trembling in his heart presumptuously, and collided with my fist.

"In that case, let's revel in this unreasonable world to the end!"

new world.

A town by the Violet Sea.

The waves beat against the shore, whirling in my ears.

I suddenly opened my eyes, and hurriedly sat up on the beach. But the figure dodging to the side made me realize with hesitation that a young girl was observing my sleeping face with those amethyst-like pupils just now. The girl was so frightened by my sudden movement that she immediately straightened her back and sat upright.

"Old... Good morning, brother!"

"You were just now..."

"Ah, why are you awake at this hour? It's still morning on your side!"

Su Huilin looked away with sloppy eyes like a kitten who stole the milk from the little master. She swayed back and forth with her sensual legs, and her long golden hair swayed back and forth with her movements. I stared suspiciously at Su Huilin for a while, her eyes dodged around unnaturally, unknowingly synchronized with my gaze, gradually buried her head in her thighs and covered her eyes with slender hair.

Forget it, just take it when you see it. If this continues, it is very likely that Su Huilin will fight back, after all, her reaction really hits my cute spot.

I even growled in my heart.

It's too cute! !

Therefore, it seems that I have the upper hand, but it is actually extremely subtle.

Changing the subject——

"Have you seen Xia Yinci?"

I stood up with my feet on my feet, put my hands on my forehead to block the dazzling light, and looked for any abnormal phenomena nearby.

"No... so Xiaoyin is here?" Su Huilin turned her eyes to look at her toes, pulled her hands inward, and encouraged herself in a low voice, "I will work hard for the happy life of the three of you in the future." Work hard!"

"I don't know what's going on now. Xia Qianyan may occupy Xia Yinci's body at any time, and she must be prevented from destroying this world..." I used my imagination to concretize the radar tracking the position of the ruler, and kept going. I can't help but turn my gaze back and ask, "Wait, did you say something just now?"

I don't know why Su Erin's cheeks are full of cherry blossoms, two shy phoenix eyes are peeping at me, and her pink lips silently make a mouth shape of "Huh?—Huh?——". Seeing my puzzled eyes, she waved her hands hastily, pushing my back and taking steps forward as if she was afraid that I would pursue this issue.

"No...no! I just asked if you, Xiaoyin, have come! Leave me alone, the situation is so serious now, the most important thing is to find Xiaoyin!"

"Um, I'm looking for..."

I quietly watched Su Huilin's reaction. She seemed to be pouting slightly as she walked beside me, and her lavender pupils were full of "Why didn't you say it earlier, I misunderstood such a serious matter."

Put that aside for now.

The radar in my hand shows a white dot representing the two of us, and another white dot stretches to the far end of the train track in front of me, dimming and brightening, as if someone is competing with the other for proof of existence , hovering extremely unstable on the verge of winning or losing.

Xia Yinci must be fighting against Xia Qianyan's consciousness right now, tearing away the dominance of her body. She worked as hard as she had agreed with me before my arrival.

Su Huilin and I looked at each other, and the two tacitly quickened their pace and rushed to the end of the track.

Xia Yinci's white dot flickered on the radar until I could see the figure at the end, and the white dot suddenly stabilized unexpectedly.

Look up - in front of me. The girl knelt and sat in front of the crimson world gate, staring calmly, covering her ears in pain.

There is a strange wind and wave flowing in the air, as if deliberately trying to stop my pace, the further I go, the more violent it becomes. I gritted my teeth and broke through the engulfing airflow, calling out Xia Yinci's name loudly. The girl's body trembled suddenly, and she cast a bewildered gaze at me as if in slow motion, her expression gradually calmed down in astonishment, and she lowered her tight hands weakly.

"I'm finally waiting for you, Su Huohuo." The girl's tired eyes gradually turned away from a faint smile, and she said softly, "So...you must do it too."

Sensing the premonition of disaster coming, I hurriedly stepped forward to approach the girl. But almost as soon as the words fell, the girl's figure disappeared without a trace. In the blink of an eye, an extremely dangerous feeling swept across his back almost immediately. I quickly pulled out the pitch-black sickle out of thin air, turned around and used the handle to block the kick that seemed to carry a hurricane.

"Hey, Su Ruoyang! We finally met again~ It took me a lot of work to occupy this child's body!"

The ink-like long hair spread out with the burst of airflow, and was instantly dyed white like ice. The force exerted by Xia Qianyan's fleshy legs on my side instantly increased several levels, and I suddenly knelt down along with this strange force. She smiled freely as if she wanted to step on me, revealing the sick love in her eyes.

I don't have the energy to use the imaginary clock to break the deadlock, and it's beyond my limit to maintain the situation for even one second.

I looked at Su Erin next to me with difficulty, and gestured to her eyes. Su Huilin blinked her eyes when she got my cue, and then I only saw her delicate body startled, and she burst out at an astonishingly fast speed, and rushed to Xia Qianyan's side in an instant, the speed made Qianyan Unable to notice. Just a slap of the palm made the air seem to turn into a shocking tornado and make strange noises, and at the same time, he slammed Xia Qianyan's body several meters away.

Xia Qianyan hurriedly supported the ground with her petite palms to stop her pace, then kicked the ground behind her and quickly turned, approaching Su Huilin's direction, kicking her chin with all her strength. And at this critical moment, Su Huilin's fluttering skirt suddenly twirled a flower of annihilation, and she was almost on the verge of receiving the blow, turning around to avoid it while pulling down a closer distance, until Xia Qianyan showed a little panic in front of a colored face.

Vaguely, I saw a pair of confident and beautiful purple pupils.

"I used to regard your gift as a curse. But now, I really like the gift you gave me."

Su Hui clenched her right fist like a broken bamboo, and the petals floating around her suddenly stagnated in mid-air, and the sea of ​​violets behind her was ready to move. So with the straight fist that Su Huilin swung vigorously, the stormy waves rolled up in an instant, and the violent destructive force slammed into Xia Qianyan's abdomen, and the bones sizzled like a burning pyre.

The strange force grabbed Xia Qianyan's body tightly and pressed it to the ground, and bright red blood bloomed on the rails immediately. Xia Qianyan hurriedly flipped backwards and threw a punch with the force of crushing the ground to resist Su Huilin's next attack, but unexpectedly, when the two punches collided, she was instantly stricken by the devastating lethal force The bones that run through the entire arm, and the whole body is unstoppable and falls to the ground following Su Huilin's explosive strength.

"Isn't that the majestic Creator? I'm only using my trickle power."

Su Huilin let go of the strength in her hands at will, and kicked her seemingly slender white legs suddenly, pushing Xia Qianyan away dozens of meters away. The azure blue petals danced with Su Huilin again, and the sea returned to calm.

Facing her own overwhelming advantage, Su Huilin curled up her confident lips, looked down at Xia Qianyan coldly, and said condescendingly:

"It seems that even the creator who claims to be the only god is under me now. You hoped that I would bring destruction to this world, but in the end you brought the disaster of killing yourself instead."

Xia Qianyan leaned on the ground and looked up at Su Huilin, her sea-like eyes came and went, containing extremely complicated emotions. After a long while, she suddenly laughed wildly like self-deprecating, her narrowed eyes glistening like tears.

"As expected, the most suitable candidate has been selected. Even I didn't expect you to grow to surpass the Flower of Annihilation."

But as she spoke, Xia Qianyan's laughter gradually melted away with Leng Qu's smile, and the conversation suddenly changed.

"It's a pity that you didn't hurt me in the slightest! Su Huilin, open your eyes and see clearly, who is in front of you? Whose body is it that you use the power of the Annihilation Flower to destroy from the beginning to the end? What?" After a moment of silence, Xia Qianyan pretended to be surprised and raised her little hand, covered her mouth and widened her eyes in disbelief, and said with a smile, "Ah, you seem to be killing Xia Yinci? "

As soon as the words fell, the expression in Su Huilin's eyes suddenly showed extreme panic.

"Hey, you just said god-killing nonsense, it's so interesting! You can't even get close to me! Unless you are willing to destroy the entire world, so that I, the creator, have no place to go .”

Xia Qianyan stood up unhurriedly, patted off the sand stained on her body, raised her hand to smooth the hair hanging around her mouth, and looked back at Su Huilin coldly.

"But do you dare?"

The trajectories of the petals began to change extremely strangely. Su Huilin took a step back in panic, and was enveloped by the rapidly whirling petals. Her mental state was shaken violently, and the unspeakable power once again showed signs of rampaging in her body. The long golden hair became as dazzling as a flame, and the lavender brilliance in the pupils was dyed as deep as violet.

Taking advantage of this chaos, Xia Qianyan turned around and stepped onto the sea. I was about to call Xia Qianyan's name, but she disappeared from our sight almost in an instant, leaving only a ripple extending into the distance.

My thoughts fell into hesitant chaos: on the one hand, Su Huilin's situation is seriously abnormal, and on the other hand, Xia Qianyan is very likely to destroy the new world we have finally built. I hesitated for a moment, feeling that I couldn't sit idly by Su Huilin anyway, so I had to temporarily abandon Xia Qianyan's whereabouts. But when I approached in the direction of Su Huilin, Su Huilin stopped me in a panic.

"Don't come here!"

The ground under Su Huilin's feet sank, and the crack expanded all the way almost from here to the other end of the track.

The surrounding air was turbulent like a hurricane, stirring up the dark tide of the Violet Sea behind. Just like the scene when the Flower of Annihilation ran away.

"If this continues, it may hurt you again! Please don't come here!"

The girl uttered those words in a pleading voice. I stood there at a loss for a while, watching the annihilating force gradually expand from the girl's side as if it burned up the air, spread rapidly and reached the sea surface with an unstoppable momentum, and seemed to touch the boiling point in an instant and evaporate the sea water upwards.

What to do. Will Su Huilin further lose control if she moves forward rashly?

Even Xia Qianyan, who is the creator, has no power to parry her now, so how can I be sure to stop Su Huilin without touching her minefield.

【That girl still regards you as the only light, are you going to let her be in such a dangerous situation? 】

The questioning words suddenly echoed in my mind. I raised my eyes in a daze, and looked at Su Huilin who was ravaging the whole world due to his power runaway.

——The me that day wanted to live with her from the bottom of my heart.

I have already prepared to face the difficulties and dangers in the future with her, how can I run away at this time?

Facing the torrential waves under the hurricane, I finally mustered up the courage to step towards her desperately.

[It's okay. If it is you, it will definitely be possible! One day, you will surely wake up the curse of the sleeping girl by kissing her. 】

The words of the past broke into my ears.

Last time I couldn't hold Su Erin's hand. Under the barrier of the vines spreading everywhere, the girl tried her best to stretch out her small hand towards the light, but her figure was the first to turn into light blue crystal chips. Just like this, I watched her fall into an endless eternal dream, how can I repeat the same mistakes this time?

No matter what I say, I will seize the opportunity to save her.

"Sorry, I'm so late."

I leaned forward with all my strength, passed through the petals that turned into sharp knives, resisted the pain of tearing my skin, and grabbed Su Erin's hand forward.

This time, the touching hands did not penetrate through the air. I can actually feel the temperature of my skin. It's just that the burning sensation spreading all over her body has already made her whole body hot, and my fingertips sounded an alarm to the brain as if they were about to evaporate.

But I can't let go yet. Since she wants to be a destination she can rely on at any time, she must never let go at this time.

"It's okay. I can see Rin'er's hard work all the time."

I suppressed the trembling caused by the pain, hugged Su Huilin's body trembling with fear, and stroked her back as gently as I could, trying to drive away the panic in her heart. His right hand was still attached to the back of her hand, which was as hot as a flame, and he held her hand tightly.

Su Huilin was flattered to be hugged in my arms and opened her eyes wide. Before she knew it, her body temperature gradually returned to normal.

"That's impossible... I'll hurt you."

In response to Su Huilin's soft complaint, I stroked her head one after another. Su Erin hangs down her arms weakly, allowing me to stroke her blond hair that burns like a flame.

"It's okay, it's okay."

The body in my arms trembled unexpectedly, and Su Huilin buried herself in my chest and sobbed in a daze.

"I'm sorry...even though I've tried so hard, I still can't help my brother."

"It's not Lin'er's fault. This matter was originally a grievance between me and Xia Qianyan. I shouldn't have involved you. You can rest now, and leave the next thing to me."

The fingertips seemed to touch the rope tied to Su Erin's wrist. Somehow the other end of the rope had come loose. But even so, it still can't change the fact that the rope is still wrapped around Su Erin. She was still at the bottom of the ocean, unrescued.

"But I told Xiaoyin just now...!"

"Letting you take the shot is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with Lin'er. You just listened to the idiot old man's words, and there is no need to be blamed." I gently lifted Su Huilin's gradually warming jade hand, Slowly untying the cumbersome knot, "If you have to be picky - don't blame yourself for everything that happens in the future! I will be angry if you blame yourself like this next time."

Hearing this, Su Huilin raised her handsome face, and her lavender eyes shone with a light that was so cute that it was foul. A drunken blush rose to her cheeks.

"Brother, you are really a hopeless dead sister! The kind of beautiful, cute, well-behaved and sensible sister who says "you are the only one in my world" does not exist in reality."

Quietly. The knot on the rope was untied. I couldn't help but pull the corners of my mouth, and looked directly at Su Huilin's extremely beautiful face.

This time, I looked at her without any scruples, and let her tickle my heart.

"In the past, you only had two of the three, but now you have all three? But, I can't be the only one in your world from now on."

The red string flutters away with the wind, returning to the calm wind together with the flying petals.

"Although there is one thing I am hesitating about, I don't know what to do. But Rin'er, maybe only you can help with this matter. In the outside world, you are now sleeping in the new location of the name of the Virgin. I have asked Chen The scientific organization has sent people to find you, but the believers of the Name of the Virgin stole the Flower of Annihilation in your body in advance and are fighting nuclear research, so I need you to go back there to recover the energy of the Flower of Annihilation.”

At the same time, Lin Yu conveyed to me about his situation through the emotional bridge we unintentionally built when we exchanged dreams in the Dream Prison:

Now the situation on Rong Tan Street has not improved much due to many times of predictive dreams. In the name of the Virgin Mary, dream robbers have been organized to attack the nuclear research headquarters. The bustling street in the past has now turned into a chaotic battlefield.

"But I hope you understand that this matter is not your responsibility. You are the victim of the outside world when the Flower of Annihilation is stolen. What you do is only helping us."

"I understand." Su Huilin sank her eyes under the pale golden hair, buried her face in my chest, and a faint fragrance enveloped my whole body. "I'm just a little scared," she murmured.

I couldn't help laughing when I heard this, it was an incredible feeling. It is not a problem to kill the gods who are high above, and even everything in the world has surrendered to her, but Su Huilin still worries about ordinary trivial matters, and is full of vague confidence in the future.

"It seems that the reason why we became brother and sister may be to make up for each other's birth defects."

I helplessly pulled the corner of my mouth, and gently stroked Su Erin's head to lull her to sleep. Su Erin lay in my arms and brought her little hand to her mouth. The power over the gods on her body gradually became transparent, just like a normal high school girl. She closed her eyes unknowingly, her breathing became calmer, and she was as quiet as if the end of the world would not change.

Such a foul sleeping face again. I suddenly remembered that it was the same situation a long time ago. Although I lived under the same roof for more than ten years, Su Huilin can always inadvertently make my heart throb.

The waves blow past my ears, playing a drifting movement.

I don't know how long it has been.

I hugged Su Eirin's delicate body, turned around and walked along the railway track back to the town facing the Violet Sea. Put her to sleep next to the bed where she usually rests.

The task of taking care of Su Huilin was temporarily handed over to the Dark Knight and Light Speed ​​Star.

——So, I followed Xia Qianyan's footsteps all the way and set sail to the far side of this world.

I walked through the sea of ​​violets, through the villages on the plains and meadows, over the dense forests to the deserted streets.

I was walking in the blood-red sky, the forests and vines in the distance were everywhere, and the star sea nearby was full of thoughts. I saw the noodle restaurant under the weeping cherry tree, and the winter bridge with traffic under the shade.

I am obsessed with the uninhabited desolate star in Liao, and I miss the grassland at the end of the dream world.

A realm of sky that merges with the horizon. There is also a barbecue restaurant opened by the beach, and the long corridor of the hospital extends to the distance.

There is a circular forest behind the sculpture of the madman of the dream in the distance, and at the end of the forest is a tavern standing in the middle of the lake.

Pushing open the store door of the institution is Rongtan Street, where there is a research institution full of pure white tones. Going straight through the white mist is the roof of the teaching building where you can overlook the playground.

Empty subway stations and off-track trains crossed the monitoring room lined up with screens in all directions.

The head of the train is in the hospital of fear, and the tail of the train is in the playground of reincarnation.

Looking into the sky, the gleaming clock looks like stars, and the sea of ​​stars on the shore reflects the light of longing coming and going.

As if being sucked into the distant abyss by the sky, the towns in the magical world are seen below, and the adventurer's hotel is scattered but empty. Looking back, I saw the town that was still in the gap between the dreams, but it was like going back to the beginning of the dream, and it was lively and noisy everywhere. The recurring time flows by the seaside, and the alleyway is filled with black mist that seems to be absent.

In a blink of an eye, it is a circus city where people come and go. At the back is a tall building that can only be seen on the roof until the neck is sore. The facade of the nearby shopping mall is closed, and only one coffee shop is still open.

I walked through towns full of donuts, candy, and detective towns declaring freedom for everyone, and saw the street in front of my house.

The snow-covered campus looks like a fallen city besieged by zombies, where there is an eerie hospital hiding the shadows of the past. In a strange place full of coffins, a black pointed hat lay quietly. Going deep in the corridor, there is a room with only a simple wooden table, a dilapidated wooden chair, and me.

In the woods next to the abandoned construction site, the stars in the sky fell like raindrops. I suddenly felt as if I had come to the sky, and there was a lonely amusement park under the roller coaster track extending to the universe.

Finally, I walked through the noisy shopping mall, and in front of me was a retro medieval palace with arched doors carved in ancient characters that I couldn't understand.

As soon as I stretched out my hand to touch the door, the door seemed to be pushed open automatically. The candles on the dark corridor were lit by fire, and my path gradually became brighter.

This is a place like the lobby of a palace. However, there are no dreamers in memory, nor green monsters.

Only a young girl with silver hair fluttering quietly leaned against the wall, her eyes closed, and she stopped in place. It was like listening to the swing of a pendulum.

"Xia Qianyan, you encouraged Su Huilin to use the Flower of Annihilation like that—you will only do what this world wishes, and return everything you created to a wilderness, right?"

"Then what about what you did. Plunder my creations of hundreds of millions of years without my permission, and bring them to your new world intact. Don't I even have the right to perish with the world I created? "

The walls on the four sides of the palace are strangely flipped, folded and staggered outwards, leaking the scenery outside the palace into the interior. All directions began to extend towards the distance, as if a Rubik's cube had been disassembled. The girl gently jumped up and walked on the black and white walls, while I stood on the ceiling of the palace, looking down at the figure of the girl gradually approaching me. She stopped in front of the wall with no way forward, raised her head and met my gaze.

"Su Ruoyang, I have warned you time and time again that I don't like children in the rebellious period, and I don't like children who are too dishonest. In the end, you violated my bottom line again and again and conspired with the world. "

"Do I have to obey what you say? Even if you are wrong, must I go to the end according to the fate you planned? No one can remember how many times we have experienced such reincarnation. But these past cuts that have been disappeared by the world Really leave a mark, like a sense of déjà vu, entangled in the depths of the world's memory. Do we have to treat these traces as a non-existent past and forget them with you?"

"Then how can you be sure that the new world you build can save all living beings?"

Suddenly, the world unfolded towards the four sides like a disassembled cardboard box, and the buildings in the city were compressed under the seemingly fragile cardboard to become flat and picturesque.

"Even if we remember the past, we won't change anything. Because we are born to give life to cold machines, the human beings outside don't need us to have our own ideas, we don't need us to conceive any free will, just need You obey orders unconditionally. Even if you and I come from the outside world, we must abide by such rules when we come here.”

The hands of the clock circled around the girl's hair tied around her waist. As if reminding me of the billions of years that have passed.

"For the outside world, the arrival of the new world is the beginning of endless slavery in this world."

Sporadic flames gradually spread throughout the city. Xia Qianyan's breathtaking eyes locked my body tightly. She stepped forward, walked up to the ceiling of the palace lightly, and gradually approached me.

I was just about to speak. But the words were stuck in my throat and I suddenly lost my voice. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't squeeze out half a word, and soon even my body became uncontrollable. A hellish picture scroll slowly unfolded before my eyes, repeating the doomsday that has been performed 1590 times in this world. In a daze, I realized that this was not my own dream. I followed Xia Qianyan's footsteps, and what I came to was her dream world unknowingly.

Now I am in a state of "sleep paralysis" like the beginning of the story. Just watching my body let the dream control me.

"Su Luoyang, you know that the outside world will cut off the power of this computer, but you don't know that they are not giving up the new world plan, but to completely eliminate my stubborn virus.

"After shutting down the computer completely, they will definitely overhaul the machine as a whole, and then restart this world in the not-too-distant future. At that time, I will no longer exist here, and your gods will be those human beings from the outside world. To provide unconditional service to their new world. Maybe they will be reborn on a machine without temperature, or they may come to another super-giant laboratory named "World".

"If you don't return to the outside world, the outside world will think that you failed to complete your mission, which will affect your future there. According to their style, they should treat you as my accomplice."

"At that time, you will no longer be different from people in this world, and you will accept the same level of enslavement from the outside world."

The sky was cut in half by the crimson fire, like nothingness stained with blood; the cracks on the ground expanded as far as the eye could see, and there was a loud sound of rocks collapsing.

"I spent tens of thousands of years writing stories in your destiny, the purpose is to save you who will face the outside world one day."

"In the reincarnation a long time ago, I already understood that I was just a temporary god anyway, and I couldn't protect you forever after all. One day you will fall into the clutches of the outside world and do all kinds of things for the outside world. thing. It is inevitable fate."

"So, I began to use the established fate caused by the inertia of computer calculations to subtly grind your personal free will."

"If you don't have your own thoughts and free will, then you who will fall into the hands of the outside world one day will not feel pain, let alone despair."

"Su Luoyang, I'm sorry. A half-god like me can only do so much. There's no better way to save you."

Under the extended crack, dark red flames rushed out, reflecting the red light in the sky, unfolding a picture of doom in the fallen city.

"By then, I will have disappeared in these two worlds, right?"

"By then, you will have returned to your own world."

"As long as you go back there now and provide some useful information to the Nuclear Research Institute, you will naturally become a resident of the new world, right?"

"So~ You don't deserve to stay here to waste time with me and provoke the suspicion of those people. You have a bright future."

"Soon, you will leave me and go to a far place. It would be great if you can find someone you can cherish and treat! Please treat her as gently as you treat me. You think, maybe you The person I met was me reincarnated in the next life, don’t you think that kind of reunion is very romantic?”

"I will talk to you with a confident smile like the day we first met. What will you say at that time?"

"157.68 million years. My long life journey has been full of encounters and partings. Whether it was right or wrong, it doesn't matter now. I just want to say thank you. However, if we can really meet again, if there is another chance, next time I will never lose you again, and I will never lie to you again."

"So~ remembering the past will not do you any good! If you remember the past here, you will definitely not be able to enjoy life in the new world with peace of mind according to your weird personality? This will only serve as a bright future for you It only adds to the sadness, that’s not okay, you just want to live a happy life!”

When the voice fell, her words in the past have run through hundreds of millions of years, and they resounded in my ears today.

[It is enough. I'm not worth your time, Su Ruoyang. Thank you for your company during this time, please go back to your own world. 】

[During this time, I was busy making the dream gap a world isolated from the outside world and not at the mercy of any outside human beings. Only one step away. It doesn't matter if you want to humble yourself to outsiders. I will do so. 】

"Su Ruoyang, please forgive me for my selfishness toward you a few days ago! Forgive me that day for wanting you to stay here with me, only the two of us lived together, and we secretly planned our future without authorization. Until that day You are tired of the years of the two of you, and you start yearning for the new world outside, and then I will find a way to send you back. I am very satisfied with this."

Xia Qianyan stretched out her little hand hidden in her sleeve to touch my cheek, her slender index finger slid across my cheek, and her fingertips stopped at my chin, and she suddenly gave me a sly but brilliant smile.

"Please forgive me for my insatiable greed. You should have disappeared from your world five years ago, but let you waste five years in vain to accompany me in this meaningless dream. Then, please forgive my presumptuous assertion, forgive me I will go on without your permission—”

There was a slight tremor in his chest. I suddenly opened my eyes. Xia Qianyan held my collar tightly with both hands, and her lips were close to mine. Tears moistened her long and curled eyelashes, sliding down like pearls.

I seem to have fallen from a high altitude and fell into the endless deep sea. The water drowned my breath, I struggled, but I didn't want to leave this deep sea. Gradually, the sea water took on a gentle temperature and brushed across my face. I wanted to reach out and touch the sea, but there seemed to be a rope holding me tightly behind me, and my hands couldn't touch that delicate boundary.

The heart was beating violently. The more severe it is, the more painful it is in the chest, and there is a tearing pain. I don't know how long it took for her to let go of my collar. The exquisite face is only close to me, and the looming clock is reflected in the pupils of the eyes, soaked in the misty sea of ​​tears.

"Okay! That's enough! My time will end here. It's time for you to return to your own world. A brand new future is waiting for you there! Thank you for turning back every time I am confused. You are still by my side. Thank you for forgiving my waywardness and drawing such a romantic end to my story."

Xia Qianyan wiped her red eye sockets, and gently pressed her trembling palm to my chest.

"I'll remember the way you smiled like a child, the sad side of your face. And the days we laughed together, the days we hurt each other."

"I will keep everything in my heart until death, and I will never forget it! So you must promise me that you will forget all the past related to me when you get there!"

Her awe-inspiring voice disappeared in my ears, and she put her index finger up on her cherry-colored lips.

"It's enough for me to remember our affairs alone. Su Luoyang, please forget all the past here and live happily."

Everything is like the beginning.

I stared sadly at the clock that was gradually stopping in her eyes, trying to turn back from the pain deep in my heart.

All the memories of girls.

Images of the past began to flash back in my mind.

[The time dominated by the imaginary clock is a time that extends infinitely and never stops toward the future. 】

[Please remember those words. Because no matter what, I won't lie to you. 】

[Go and break through the doomed matrix of the world. You are my ruler. No matter when I am, I will never lie to you. 】

no. It can't end like this. I don't allow Xia Qianyan to unilaterally draw an end to our story.

The "TURE END", which was finally reached, must not end in this way.

——The story must not be over yet.

[That's not a time regression, it's just a precognitive dream. The time that is traced back in your eyes is only the future that you foresee, and those things have not yet happened. As for the time after you go back to the past, you made changes based on the foreseeable future and affected the future. 】

The hints you gave me at that time actually have other meanings, right?

Since you said that I should believe in you at any time, then I can't forget the past as you wish, but remember all the hints you have given me.

because. Only by combining all your hints so far is the real meaning of your words?

This is your style, even the prompts are strung together like a huge treasure map, this is in line with your Xia Qianyan's style.

[Neither can time stand still, nor can it go back to the past, imaginary clocks are not the ability to do these things. But before doubting it, please doubt yourself properly. 】

An imaginary clock that cannot go back to the past, but can control the time of the ruler's clock at will. No matter how I think about it, I feel that I have some misunderstandings. The previous time regression happened so coincidentally, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, can the imaginary clock use the ability to predict dreams?

[I don't expect you to understand now. I just hope that one day you will understand what I mean. 】

Even if these are all my fantasies—but since you said that, my fantasies are worth trying.

For us, time extends infinitely and never stops towards the future. As you say it's like a train bound for an unknown destination.

[But this is just the rules made by this world. 】

For linear time, we can predict the near future through dreams. The predictability of similar events comes from the inertia of the information selection program in the world.

Precognitive dreams are the only means of cheating we can use, from which we jump to a higher dimension to fight against the outside world and the whole world.

【Su Ruoyan! How many prophetic dreams have you had in a row? 】

Now I have remembered the answer to this question——

The time governed by the imaginary clock is linear time and predictable time.

The night before the final debriefing meeting, I couldn't sleep over this inadvertent thought. I spent the whole night looking through the files my father left me, as if I could find the key that I had neglected. And when I turned back to the external "HELLO NEW WORLD" records again, I was suddenly fascinated by the words "homogenization of world information", and immediately ran out of the room and knocked on my father's door.

For so many years, my father has actually avoided countless head-to-head confrontations with nuclear research or the name of the Virgin. He didn't know at first that turning on the "World Device" brought him countless prophetic dreams about the near future. Later, until the night when Xia Yinci cheated fate, he also woke up in a prophetic dream and went downstairs, contributing to our changed fate.

[Humans hand over the future to the next generation, and this is how the world goes on. The last thing I can do for you is to believe that you can do better than me. 】

The reason why my father imprisoned himself in the present cannot look into the future. It is precisely because he has been in the precognitive dream for a long time.

By accident, I felt that I might be able to interfere with the occurrence of predictive dreams through the imaginary clock. So, I did no less than a hundred experiments of predicting dreams. The stars circulated, and the black night sky gradually became fiery red. Until the dawn breaks - when the unreachable morning star is reflected in the sky, I finally find a hole in linear time.

My thoughts returned to the fallen city before me, I held Xia Qianyan's hand that was pressed against my chest without permission, and the words in my throat broke through the shackles of sleep paralysis in an instant.

"Xia Qianyan! The imaginary clock is a very malleable ability, right? If so, no matter how many times I repeat the precognitive dream, it won't touch the limit, right?"

Fantastic clock. This is the room for choice you left me.

——The key to the true ending.

"No! I'm not worth your time!"

Xia Qianyan trembled slightly as she spoke, her hands clenched tightly on the hem of her clothes. Crystal tears burst out of her eyes and slid down her fair cheeks. She grabbed my collar vigorously, and the sudden burst of power from her palm caused the surrounding buildings to scatter like fireworks in an instant.

"Did you understand what I just said?"

"I understand, but I'm sorry—"

With a sob in my throat, I tried my best to speak out the words hidden in my heart.

"The future I am looking forward to is already doomed to have someone like Xia Qianyan! I don't like the sadness of "If there is a next life, I will go to you again", and I don't expect my life to have an afterlife. If possible, I will save you in this life!"

I took a deep breath and hugged Xia Qianyan tightly into my arms.

"I'm going to let you down this time. Whether it's the bright smile that suddenly breaks through the ice when you keep a straight face on purpose, or the habit of always hemming and hawing at key points, all the memories about you will be my next life, In the next life, in the next life, I will never forget it! Xia Qianyan, I must have you in my future."

This choice may not be your original wish; maybe you want me to return to my own world from the bottom of my heart.

But--

"Because I promised you that I will decide our future. So—!"

I held Xia Qianyan's hand tightly, and pressed it against my chest imagining the hands of the clock. The golden flames that flowed from the palm of her hand like wings of light reflected in her pupils at the same time, breaking her crystal clear tears.

"Today is the tomorrow we agreed to span three months, please look forward to the results of my choice!"

If one day we can all go back to the outside world, then I will come to you again.

I hope you can smile as brightly as when we first met.

The hands turn counterclockwise, and time flies in the opposite direction.

The flames that passed through the sky drilled into the cracks in the ground, and the collapsed rocks returned to the earth, and the cracks gradually moved inward like a zipper. The smear of blood that tore apart the sky faded away and melted into an ultramarine sky.

The fallen city was restored. And I missed the rewind time and fell into infinite reincarnation.

Xia Qianyan's beautiful figure disappeared before my eyes unconsciously. I suddenly remembered the past when I met the girl before the world was born.

I had the honor of hearing your name as early as my internship at a university research institute.

——"Xia Qianyan" who was called a genius girl by her seniors and juniors.

At that time, I still had the idea of ​​machismo, thinking that one day I would surpass you and become the person everyone talked about. Since then, you have become my longing target without knowing it.

Then on the day we met, you sat in front of that lake that seemed to be in the sky.

I passed you on my bicycle on the way to the library. I happened to recognize you, because I saw you wearing this sweater with a clock pattern in a lecture.

Even the clothes are so special. Your green hair pouring down like ink reflects the sunshine of the city, and those bright eyes like the sea seem to be competing with the lake in front of you. I suddenly realized that you are so dazzling, I hesitated for a long time before I finally summoned up the courage to sit beside you.

"You said, we belong to ourselves and not others. What is the most fundamental evidence? Memory? Or personality?"

You suddenly raised your head, stared at me and smiled, and asked me such a question. It's like being prepared to ask this man weird questions whoever sits here. But your unbelievably beautiful eyes stared at me, which made me unable to get angry even though I was the one being teased. So you looked at my unsteady, surprised and embarrassed reaction, and suddenly burst into a bright and down-to-earth smile.

You said that you had heard of my name, which made my heart flutter, but in the blink of an eye, you were holding a heavy book, and ran away from my field of vision strangely. But left an intermittent storm in my heart.

A storm that is cloudy and cloudy only because of you.

Linear time, at this time has been scattered into broken pieces.

Just like my repeated reincarnation on the 27th;

Just like the intermittent memory of my five years of beating between the inside and outside worlds.

5th. 6th time. 7th time. 8th time. 9th time. 10th time.

...until the 42nd time—

Today, which seems to be looping through eternity, miraculously extends beyond morning and evening to the next day.

— this time. The end of the world didn't come on time.

We finally did as promised.

Tomorrow, spanning three months, arrived at the last node of fate.

On the night of March 26, 2019.

The world-renowned "Dream Ruler" global live broadcast event kicked off on time, and the crowd who came here poured into the live broadcast venue like a wave.

""Dream Ruler", this is a new generation of VR game that is still stubbornly surviving and breaking through the eternal winter despite the controversy and bad reviews, and even the explosion warning of terrorists," the media gave such an evaluation.

During the event, the number of people online on each live broadcast website continued to rise. With the preview of the movie version and the release of animation-first PV, it has been pushed to a climax.

"The emotional bridge to the gap between dreams is 100% complete."

"Global Immersive Network Has Reached Maximum Coverage."

"Public opinion tends to be normal, confirming that the concept of the gap between dreams has been correctly implanted."

"The new world has successfully connected to the transfer station and is ready."

"The entire immersion work of the fantasy continent has been completed. All of them have entered the cracks of the dream world."

"The success rate of collective hypnosis has reached 99%, ready to start the immersion mode at any time."

When the timing of the nuclear research headquarters was ready, the collective emotions linked to the live broadcast activities gradually reached their peak. At this time, many experimenters have connected to the full immersion device one after another, preparing to escape to the new world with all the people in the world. Originally, Chen Xue was going to stay with me, but he was coaxed and tricked by me into the team of those experimenters, and obediently put on the immersion device.

"ANIKI, don't forget the poem I read to you!"

"You reviewed it for me more than 90 times this morning. I will never forget it in my whole life, okay?"

While joking, Chen Xue slowly closed his smiling eyes. The sleeping girl unknowingly exudes a quiet breath, and she can no longer see the exuberance and liveliness of the past. I couldn't help but think back to the experience of appreciating the dawn with her that day, and thinking of her cheerful and gentleness at that time, my heart suddenly tightened.

I clenched the orange-red potion tightly in my hand, and let out a heavy breath in my chest.

At this time, Lin Yu quietly slipped to my side, and suddenly raised his hand to put my shoulders on my shoulders, and put on a naughty smile as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, how are you getting ready? From now on, I'm going to leave it to you alone."

"It's fine. Feng Chenghuan has tested the effect of "ANTI-Eternal Winter" many times, and there will be no problem."

I knew that Lin Yu was not referring to such a thing, but both of us tacitly did not point out the other's true thoughts.

We all know that there is such a huge workload to save the rest of the world. In addition, the name of the Holy Mother may still be entangled in my future journey——

"Do you really not need me to stay with you?"

"Meddle in your own business! How can you have such leisure time? Go and spend your honeymoon with your tea cat wife. It's the right thing to do."

"You still dare to say me? Why don't you hurry up and make up for your wife Xia Xia's engagement ring?"

"It's not... a big problem, how do you even know about it?"

I held my chin and turned on the detective mode, thinking whether it was Xue Xueer or my father who leaked it, it couldn't be Xia Yinci who said it to express dissatisfaction, right?

As a result, Chartres, who was really dressed as a detective, approached us and said rather dismissively:

"What's the matter? Everyone here knows it, maybe only you don't know that we know it. And Su Luoyang, let me tell you, others have entrusted their whole life to you, you have to be responsible."

"I know……"

I always feel that the matter between myself and Xia Yinci seems to have spread throughout the Core Research Association, probably because I have heard the confession with Xia Yinci in the Experimental Center yesterday, right?

Unexpectedly, this group of scholars who are meticulous on the surface are actually so gossip in their hearts.

"Tsk, do you need to worry about it? He found a wife at the age of 17. Mr. Charter, you still care about yourself?" Lin Yu provocatively poked Charter's chest, provocatively , "Obviously about the same age as me, I have to find a decent boyfriend even if I don't have a girlfriend."

"Are you looking for death? Are you asking for a beating?"

Seeing that the two were arrogant and domineering and were about to pinch each other at any time, Watanabe quickly inserted himself between them.

"Lin Yu, your tea cat is looking for you and told you to come over quickly."

Lin Yu heard the words and immediately turned around to meet the tea cat's eyes, and leaned closer to the tea cat.

But in the middle of the walk, he suddenly remembered something important, turned his head and smiled at me, as if to say goodbye. But before I could feel the sentimentality, Lin Yu cast a contemptuous look at Charte, and then held Tea Mao's hand while deliberately ignoring him. This made Charte so angry that he almost chased after Lin Cha and his wife on the spot.

Fortunately, Feng Chenghuan called Chart's name in time, and pulled him to the console to finish the finishing operation of the emotional bridge. Only then did the disaster of beating mandarin ducks be prevented.

Seeing that he had finally extinguished a battle that was ready to go out, Watanabe Feng breathed a sigh of relief exhaustedly, as if he had finally released himself from the role of guardian.

After a while, Watanabe Feng suddenly narrowed half of his eyes and looked towards me.

"Although many people have asked you. But are you ready?"

"Well, that's right."

Watanabe Feng leaned against the wall and crossed his arms, pointed at the black cat in front of him who was arguing with Feng Chenghuan. Xiao Lulu stood next to her and helped the black cat quarrel with a serious expression.

"They must say they want to stay with you."

I didn't need to think about it to know that it was the idea of ​​the black cat, and I had mixed feelings in my heart.

"Can you tell Black Cat for me, will you drag her sister into the water?"

"You can, but why don't you tell her yourself?"

Of course, it's not that I haven't tried it, but the black cat stubbornly said that it wasn't because of me that he wanted to stay, and asked me not to interfere in her affairs.

"Mr. Watanabe... just do me a last favor."

As soon as I finished speaking, I noticed Watanabe Kaede's incredulous eyes. He stared at me for a long time, then suddenly covered his eyes and smiled, and nodded as if he was extremely reluctant in his heart.

"Okay. Then I will repay your original favor."

After speaking, Kaede Watanabe seemed afraid that I would see through his concealed eyes, so he didn't stay by my side for a moment. I watched Kaede Watanabe walk towards the black cat, and suddenly a can of iced coffee was thrown beside me. This made me quickly raise my hand to catch the other party's "sneak attack", and turn my head slightly to look at this young man who always has a hearty smile.

"How about it? If your brother doesn't come back for a long time, I'll take the opportunity to chase your sister away."

"Don't! I think you're a good person, but I'm not ready to marry off my sister yet."

This is half a joke and half true. I really wasn't mentally prepared to hand Rin'er over to another man.

"Why do I feel that you quietly sent me a good person card on behalf of your sister?"

"Eh? I don't understand. I'm not interested in men right now. I probably won't change my mind in the future."

"Nonsense, you've already proposed to a girl." When Chen Zekai said this, he glanced at me maliciously, put his elbow on my stomach, and said half-jokingly, "However, if you cheat on me in the future The object is a man, I believe the expressions on the faces of the two girls in your family will be very exciting."

"It's not only wonderful, I can die there on the spot. So will you help me with my funeral at that time?"

I wanted to answer me half-heartedly. Chen Zekai was startled suddenly, as if he understood what I meant. He stared sideways into my eyes, and suddenly stretched out his right hand and hooked my neck with a little force.

"Give me a good life."

Time unknowingly approached the deadline. Feng Chenghuan stood in front of the operating table of the experimental center, and had a slight line of sight with me. I put my hand on the lever that activates full immersion mode and wait for him to connect with other full immersion devices. But the moment he put on the device, he suddenly looked up and looked in my direction again.

"When you come back, can I ask you to be my experimental assistant?"

"Aren't you mistaken? You really have such an idea!"

Feng Chenghuan sat back on the matte leather chair, as if he was usually in a conference room. He stared at me with sharp eyes for a while, and seemed to have a considerable degree of persistence in this matter.

"If you are worried about the salary, we can discuss it again. How about it? Do you agree or not?"

Thinking of Feng Chenghuan's intentional or unintentional cultivation during this period, I have actually envisioned such a scene long ago, and even the answer has been determined.

"Of course I agree."

Hearing this, Feng Chenghuan finally closed his eyes with satisfaction, and fell asleep with a smile on his face.

No more sound was made.

In the entire experimental center, I am the only one left who is still awake.

Pulling open the tab of the can, pouring cold coffee down his throat. A choked throat suddenly filled with a vague sadness, I suddenly coughed out the discomfort in my trachea, and the coffee shook out of the bottle and spilled onto the ground of the experimental center. Looking at the stains on the ground, my heart throbbed for some reason. I tightly held the handle of the lever, feeling the unusually heavy weight with my fingertips, and mustered up the remaining courage to pull down the lever.

When the world is asleep, there seems to be a noisy voice in the distance. It seems to hear the rustling waves rushing away the accumulated sand on the coast.

In an instant, I couldn't help but stare at the screen in front of me that was broadcasting the live broadcast. The carnival audience unconsciously lost consciousness and gradually closed their eyes.

[Warning: The full immersion mode has been officially launched and is overriding the sleep state. 】

A melodious and sad melody played from the other side of the screen.

The pulsating notes carefully avoid the soft place in the listener's heart. But he has no intention of taking the listener's heart to wander far away.

I suppressed the turbulence in my heart, and the rhythm of my heartbeat gradually stepped into the rhythm of this music.

Reminds me of the first time I heard this melody a long time ago.

I, who have never left my hometown, feel that one day I will go far away and wander in places I have never been to.

Stand still. A misty mist rose in my heart. No more human voices could be heard.

I was at a loss for a while.

There is no other reason. I just felt, suddenly felt—
