The days when I helped the protagonist come to power [System]

...things got tricky.

After being "threatened" so viciously by Erxi, Heluomi and the others naturally gave up the idea of ​​going to the medical department, but procrastination was not an option. After a short discussion, the three agreed to observe the situation first.

At night, Ersie was still asleep. The good news is that his breathing has been steady, and it seems that he is simply asleep; the bad news is that his temperature is lower, and he has not taken a drop of water all day, even if it is Asleep, he could also feel that he was getting weaker and weaker.

Moreover, Heluomi and the others couldn't be sure whether Erxi's "don't tell others" meant the teachers in the medical department or everyone else.After all, the normal class will start the next day, and Ersie must ask for leave in this situation. What should I say if someone asks me?

No sleep for one night.

The next day was a rare sunny day. The sun peeked out from the thick clouds for a long time, and the sun shone on the silver-clad campus. The students finally took off their thick scarves and cloaks and walked in the windless snow. The ground happily ran and jumped, and for a while, the campus was filled with laughter and laughter.

But Hei Luomi and the others couldn't laugh at all.

"...What are we going to do today?"

The three of them stood in front of Ersie's bed, looking at the silver-haired young man who was still lying on the bed unconsciously, all of them showed embarrassment.

They took turns to take care of Erxi last night, but the other party didn't make any movement at all all night, not even turning over!This is actually not lethargy, but a complete coma, right? ?

Heluomi looked at Erxi's pale face, and didn't speak for a long time.

Among the three people in the dormitory, he was the only one who knew Erxi's original identity, so he had been guessing whether this situation was related to Erxi's demon physique, but he had hardly dealt with demons before, so he did not Reminiscent of the "weakness period" that is relatively rare among the demons, I just wonder if this may be related to Erxi's long-term maintenance of human form.

"...wait another day." In the end, Hei Luomi said firmly, "If the situation doesn't improve tomorrow... then find another way."

Xin went out.

In fact, the three of Hei Luomi and the others had classes all day today, but since something like this happened to Erxi, the three of them didn't have the heart to go to class at all.Because Xin had a high prestige in the college and was most trusted and loved by the teachers, he took on the task of asking for leave—not only for the three of them, but also for Ersie.

The reason for asking for leave is naturally made up. As for whether those people can believe it... It depends on Xin's personal charm. In Cecil's words, it is——

"Xin, come on! Whether you can stop the teachers from getting suspicious depends on the effect of your beauty trick!!"

pungent:"……"

After Xin left, Cehir and Heromi continued to look after Erxi.

In fact, the two of them didn't have much to do, the main thing was to ensure that the magic flame lit by the bed would not be extinguished. After all, the body temperature of the other party was too frighteningly cold. At least they had to find a way to keep the temperature from dropping.

Everyone didn't sleep well last night, Hei Luomi saw that Cecil was yawning all the time, so he asked him to go to the next room to rest first.

"Just keep me here." Heluomi said.

Cecil was indeed so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, so he didn't shirk, and staggered to catch up on sleep.Heluomi checked the magic flame, and after confirming that there was no problem, he sat by the window and silently stared at the sleeping man.

But maybe it was too sleepy, unknowingly, Hei Luomi also gradually closed his eyes.

It was just a short nap, and the young man woke up quickly again. He subconsciously looked towards the bed, only to find that the young man who was lying on his back turned his head around at some point, and was quietly looking at him.

Hei Luomi wanted to get up instinctively, but when he met the man's gaze, his body froze immediately.

——It was that look again.

That feeling of being looking at him, but not seeming to be looking at him.

"... Heluomi."

He heard the other party murmur softly, because the voice was too weak, it sounded more like a sigh.The man's eyes had faded from the redness of yesterday's madness, but the focus was still blurred, as if he was in a daze.

Hei Luomi looked at him quietly, without making a sound.

"Hei Luomi." The man suddenly called softly again.

The young man subconsciously straightened his body, as if a fine silk thread was silently wrapped around his beating heart, and then slowly tightened it until Heluomi's breathing became difficult.

——This person has never called his name in such a gentle tone.

The person he called...is it really him?

After staring at each other in silence for a moment, the man seemed to sigh lightly. He turned his head and closed his eyes again.

Hei Luomi sat on the spot for a while, then stood up lightly.

"Eh?"

He walked to the bed and called out to him softly.

The young man remained motionless, as if the brief waking up just now was a dream and never happened at all.

Hei Luomi called out a few more times, but was disappointed to see that the other party was still asleep.He was just about to leave when a thought flashed through his mind, causing his body to freeze again.

He thought for a while, glanced outside, and made sure that Cecil was still resting in the next room, so he turned around, stood in front of the bed again, and bent down.

"Ersie."

——This is, this person's real name.

"Ersi." Helomi leaned against the man's ear and whispered, "Ersie, I'm Helomi, can you... can you hear me?"

***

It's like walking a long, long road.

Exhausted and out of breath, every step was extremely difficult, and his wobbly body seemed to fall down at any time.

He really wanted to give up.

He really wanted to stop here.

But the reason why he was still struggling forward was because he heard someone calling his name.

— Ersie.

— Ersie.

--Can you hear it?I am……

It feels like going back to that time again.

It was a time of great difficulty and despair.

At that time, if I persisted a little longer, walked a little longer, and worked harder...

However, no amount of ifs can match the reality that has already happened.

just.

Even if I know that this road can't see the future, even if I know that everything will never start again, why do I still want to see you sometimes.

——Want to meet...

—The one who still remembers me, you.

***

When Ersie woke up, he felt sore and sore all over his body as if he had been crushed by something.

His throat felt as if it was going to burn, and his eyes were burning. It took him a long time to get used to it, and then he gradually opened his eyes.

"Eh!"

"How do you feel now??"

Erxi squinted his eyes for a while before he recognized that the two people guarding the bed were Cehir and Heromi, and after a little sobriety, he quickly recalled the current situation.

——I am still in a period of weakness.

But now it is the second day of the debilitating period. Generally speaking, the first day is the most uncomfortable and dangerous. After the first day, the body will gradually improve. Compared with sleepiness, Erxi now feels more tired.He glanced at the mirror next to the bed, and it was indeed a listless face reflected in it.

"I'd like some water," Ersie said hoarsely.

The steaming hot water was immediately brought to Erxi. I don't know if it was an illusion. Erxi always felt that Cehir's hand was shaking a little while handing him the water, and he looked at him strangely, as if with a bit of... ...careful fear?

Heromi brought Erxi a soft back cushion so that he could sit up against the head of the bed.While drinking, Ersie accidentally glanced at the bedroom door and almost spit out the water in his mouth.

"What's wrong with this door??" Ersie stared at the door dumbfounded—no, this can't be called a door anymore, it's just a broken plank that has been hollowed out in the middle, right? ?

Both Hei Luomi and Cecil looked at him in surprise.

"Don't you remember?" Heluomi asked.

"Don't remember anything?" Ersie was at a loss.

"You sealed the door yesterday and didn't let us go out." Cehir paused, "You also threatened to kill us!"

Ersie: "???"

Under Heromi and Cecil's narration, Erxi finally knew what he had done yesterday.

Ersie: "..."

It is estimated that he was full of thoughts of defense and vigilance at that time, so he took such a strong action.

"This door is reinforced by magic. Fortunately, Heluomi and Xin are both very powerful. The two teamed up to break the door panel, so we are not trapped here." Cecil felt wronged and resentful, "What the hell did you do yesterday? What's going on? You're clearly ill, why don't you come to the medical department anyway?"

Ersie was silent for a moment.

"...Because it's too embarrassing."

"what?"

"I'm such a handsome and powerful person, how can others know that I'm sick in the dormitory? It's shameful! It's too shameful!" Erxi plausibly said, "So absolutely no one should know!"

Cecil: "..."

So just because this guy wants to save face, the three of them almost died yesterday? ?

"If you don't want people to know so much, then we will keep it secret for you." Heluomi said, "But is your body really okay? Don't you need to take some medicine?"

"No, just rest for two more days." Erxi paused, and urged again, "I don't plan to go out these two days, and you must not let anyone in, you know?"

Both Cecil and Heromi nodded.

Shin returned shortly after, visibly relieved to see Ersie wake up.

After that, everyone kept Ersie's request in mind, closed the dormitory door tightly all day, and didn't talk too much when they went out to meet people, and passed the next day without incident.

***

In the morning of the third day, Ersie woke up, feeling that although he was still physically exhausted, his mental state was obviously much better.

Because Xin directly asked for three days off, the three people in the dormitory did not go to class today.Although Erxi said that he was fine, the three of them still stood by his bed in a tacit understanding, Heromi and Xin were reading, and Cecil was playing with the gadgets he had bought before.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Several people in the room raised their heads vigilantly at the same time—it is class time, there are very few students in the building, who would knock on the door of the dormitory at this time?

"I'll go take a look." Heluomi said.

He quietly walked to the door, glanced out through the peephole, then turned his head and mouthed to several other people.

——It’s Teacher Shugeyin.

"he?"

Erxi was stunned for a moment, why would Hugein come here at this time?

"Eh, are you there?" The person outside the door knocked again.

"What should I do now? Are you going to pretend that there is no one in the dormitory?" Cecil whispered.

"Xin," Erxi suddenly turned to look at the blond boy, "what was your reason for asking for leave?"

***

When Hugein was about to knock again, the door opened suddenly.

He recognized the person who opened the door. It was the student named "Heromi" that Ersey often mentioned.

"Mr. Xiu Geyin, hello." The black-haired boy smiled at him, "I was busy taking care of the patients just now, so I'm sorry to open the door late."

"It's okay." Shuge returned a gentle smile, "You all worked hard too."

Heluomi led Shugeyin into the middle bedroom. Shugeyin saw two single beds side by side in the room, and a gray-haired boy with a red face was lying on one of them. He opened his eyes slightly, as if He just woke up, with a wet towel on his forehead, probably for cooling down.When he walked in, the silver-haired young man sitting by the bed was changing towels for the sick and bedridden boy, and the blond boy named "Xin" next to him was holding a water basin, as if he was helping.

"Is he okay?" Hugein greeted the silver-haired youth—Ersi, and then asked a little worriedly, "I heard that in order to take care of him, you didn't sleep for two nights, and you didn't even have class during the day." Are you thinking about it?"

Cecil lying on the bed and pretending to be sick: "..."

"It's much better now." After changing the towel, Erxi nodded calmly to Shugeyin, "After all, I've taken care of him like this. If he doesn't get better, can he be worthy of my painstaking efforts? Haha..."

The corners of Cecil's eyes twitched—you touched your conscience and said, does it hurt? !Does it hurt! ! !

"Why do I think..." Xiu Geyin looked at Erxi in surprise, "You seem to have a bad complexion too? No, it's really bad. You won't be sick too, right?"

"No." Ersie immediately said without changing his face, "Maybe it's just because he didn't sleep well, just catch up on sleep later."

Seeing that Shugeyin still had doubts on his face, and even wanted to check on his situation, Erxi quickly changed the subject calmly.

"By the way, why did you come here suddenly?" Ersie asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Shugeyin looked at Heluomi and the others, seemingly hesitating to speak, Erxi immediately understood, nodded and said.

"Let's talk next door."

***

"Eh? You moved here?"

Hearing this news, Ersie was surprised at first, but soon understood.

Although Shugeyin is a junior tutor, he cannot use magic, and his self-preservation ability is almost zero. In this turbulent time, Zeqi will definitely not let him live alone, so he is transferred to the student dormitory. It is also convenient for other teachers to take care of them.

As for why he was transferred to this building... probably because Zeqi knew that he and Xiu Geyin had a good relationship, and they could take care of each other better if something happened.

"I'm currently living alone in a dormitory on the top floor. Although I can't help much, I can be regarded as one of the patrolling teachers here." Shugeyin smiled lightly, "But it's class time now, and they I also know that you are in the building, so the other teachers have been transferred to the teaching building for the time being. I walked around the building just now, and everything is normal. I just have nothing to do, so I stopped by to see you."

...that's what happened.

"How's the situation in the academy these days?" Ersie had been lying in the house for two consecutive days, and now he was completely ignorant of the situation outside.

"There seems to be nothing unusual for the time being, but..."

As soon as Xiugeyin finished speaking, there was a piercing and terrifying roar from outside the window!

At first, it was only from one direction, but later the sources of the sound became more and more complicated, and the movement became louder and louder, as if monsters from all directions were screaming and roaring crazily together. So full, there isn't even room to think about anything else.

This huge tsunami-like rolling sound shook the entire campus. Even the walls of Ersie's room were shaken to the point that cracks appeared. The wind rushed in, and the temperature in the entire room dropped sharply.

At the same time, the storage ring on Erxi's left hand also emitted a dazzling red light. He quickly clapped his hand, and the small communication crystal ball that Zeqi had sent them flew from the storage ring. Constantly flashing red light.

"Enemy attack!!!!"

Several great magisters roared nervously and angrily from inside the crystal ball.

"It's the demons... people from the demons broke in!!!"

****Boundary Line of Reincarnation****

What is death?

Is it the end of life?Is it a long sleep that never wakes up?Is it ignorance and numbness?Or a painful and helpless parting?

— For me, death is solitude.

Come again and again, cycle again and again, know everyone, be familiar with everything, clearly know their lives, their emotions, their love and hatred, and even understand every moment and detail, And yet... no one ever remembered anything about me.

No matter what you have experienced, no matter how long you have been with each other, no matter how deep and sincere your relationship was, once 20 years pass, when you meet again, you are just a stranger passing by.

They no longer remember.

But I still remember.

Remember all, remember all, but no one knows, no one shares, no one says, no one understands.

Countless times, I really want to ask those people——

do you remember me?

The answer is always-

Excuse me, who are you?

Obviously, "20 years" has been repeated countless times, but there is still no trace left; it seems that I have always been very familiar with this world, but in fact I have been excluded by this world.

... Will anyone understand this deep-rooted feeling of loneliness?
