Chapter 1020 Chapter One Thousand and Eighteen · "Ninth Week." (Thanks to the leader of "Yisheng")

However, he is always fragile and can easily die from various reasons.

  Sometimes, he would be overwhelmed by the overwhelming negative emotions brought about by the unblocking of the tentacles. Sometimes he would fall asleep under the flowers in the church and never wake up. Sometimes, he would be assassinated by Su Wensheng, and his broken internal organs and blood would float on the sea. Sometimes, Goddess Tasliche would be controlled and accidentally kill him, leaving the room full of messes and a big empty hole in his chest.

 He was like a fragile glass statue in her eyes. A slight risk or a slight information leakage would kill him. And he shuttled between Xiaosu's small retracement and the god's big retracement, always maintaining the mentality of continuing to move forward, which shocked her.

 …Obviously so fragile.

Evidently the enemy was so huge for him, and the information gap was so terrifying.

 He can actually...maintain the same mentality again and again.

He successfully walked to the prophecy stone wall again and again, and then started a new nightmare. Repeat, repeat, never ending.

 The time that impressed her the most was the eighth episode.

 This week, his mental state was the worst.

He seemed to be vaguely aware that something was wrong with him, so he walked up to a tall building, faced the overwhelming rain, and wanted to jump off the tall building.

Chaoyan just watched quietly in the shadows, because after so many contacts, she had discovered that it might be best for her not to interfere with his death decision.

 He said to himself:

 “Jump out of here…and it’ll be over…”

 Finally, he raised his eyes and suddenly saw her in the shadow.

"I seem to have a little impression of you..." He murmured: "We have met...right?"

Chaoyan smiled bitterly.

This shows that his mental state has deteriorated to the extreme, and he has even transcended the shield of the gods and remembered some things before the world was reset.

"...Yes, we have met, and you said...you will not forget me." Chaoyan walked out slowly:

"You said that the dead will become stars in the sky. So the universe is vast, and those bright stars are people watching us."

“You said that even if I become a star, you will still remember me.”

“You said that there is a festival called the Feast of Fortune, and you said that you would put out lanterns with me.”

"You said that Italian candies are delicious, although... I don't know where Italy is, and there has never been such a country on the map, but... I have eaten it."

 She put her hand on her heart and smiled through tears:

"really tasty."

“Although it was swallowed directly, not eaten with a mouth, but...it’s really, really sweet, very sweet.”

Su Mingan looked at her blankly.

The evening breeze blew her lemon-scented hair, and he suddenly felt touched.

 “You also said…”

She clenched her fist and pressed it in front of her lips, as if this could resist the trembling and choking all over her body.

“…We are all the protagonists in the story. The protagonist will definitely have a happy ending.”

“In your eyes, I am just a strange, stubborn, incomprehensible, self-talking, familiar stranger. But in my eyes... you are already a companion who cannot be forgotten.”

 “This journey is not memorable, nor is it enjoyable, but...”

 Her voice was as light as a feather:

 “Try to remember me...please?”

“We are the protagonists, and the protagonists must remember the other protagonists.”

 Those were the last words she said to him.

After that, Su Mingan jumped off the rooftop due to the severe nausea and dizziness. His mental state was so bad, and the heavy rain blew against his ears, like a black crow leaving the nest, finally returning to the place in the heavy rain. night.

The girl’s choked sobs were drowned in the endless night, and no one could remember how many times she fought.

The ninth episode of the world, when Su Mingan opened his eyes, he forgot about Chaoyan again.

Chaoyan said nothing. Facing his unfamiliar gaze, she just nodded towards him, without sadness or anger. She turned around and left quietly, like a stranger she had never met before.

However, the next night, while Su Ming'an was sleeping peacefully in the church, Chao Yan rushed into the church and used the Immortal Talisman and Seal to put him into a deep sleep.

 The Immortal Talisman·Sleep is enough to prevent him from waking up. As long as he loses the ability to move, he will not go to the prophecy stone wall. Since all methods of persuasion are ineffective, she can only try to use coercion.

The immortal talisman emitted soft white light. The black-haired young man on the bed was sleeping deeply. Chaoyan stopped in front of the bed. At this moment, she felt a strong sense of gap in her heart, as if there was something called regret. Emotions were pounding wildly in her chest.

She had a vague feeling that she seemed to have done something wrong this week.

 —Her and the gods’ positions seem to be reversed.

The **** who expected Su Mingan to reach the prophecy stone wall became the guide in the adventure story. And she who hinders the hero from taking the next step becomes the devil in the adventure story.

 But she had no other choice. It's all over, he won't trigger the big retracement anymore...it's...over.

 She stood in front of the bed, the blue moonlight shining on her shoulders.

“I suddenly thought that this time, you haven’t seen the starry sky with me yet.”

She took the sleepy Su Mingan to the starry sky that they had seen on their first visit, but at this time, the bright starry sky had been obscured by clouds and fog, and she could not see anything shining except for the gray haze. The young man sat in a wheelchair with his eyes closed. He could no longer break through the limitations of the eyelids, nor could he fly into the flames.

 While she was sitting on the cold ground, facing the air, she suddenly laughed.

 "Starry sky...! Ah...hahahaha, hahahaha..."

 Similar but different reincarnations again and again, hopeless and persistent rescues again and again - enough to drive anyone crazy.

Pain that far exceeds limits, pressure beyond ordinary people, and abhorrent death...all of these are added up again and again, and it is impossible to create a normal person.

 The madman was on the high observatory, holding the sleeping man's shoulders and laughing.

 “It’s over…hahaha…it’s over, it’s over…”

  Su Mingan was unable to perceive many things while sleeping.

 But he could hear it faintly. Someone laughed in his ear and shouted "It's over, it's over". Then she held his slouched shoulders and pulled up the broken hair from his forehead.

 She would take him to the warm sunshine, and wisps of light seemed to penetrate his eyelids.

 Because Su Mingan has been sleeping, many tragedies have not been prevented. The special medicine has not arrived, and most people have had their historical memories erased. People have been living in numbness, becoming puppets in the hands of the gods. He wanted to wake up, but her hand kept holding his wrist tightly. She gently told him to have a sweet dream, and nothing would happen when he woke up from the dream.

 Dreams are freedom and happiness. And everything in reality will make you miserable.

Her voice was so gentle, elegant, and soft. For a moment, he thought that he had heard this voice many times, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't think so.

"Remember this time, remember what would have happened to the world if you were not here..." she kept saying to herself.

　　"Without you, the special medicine would not have been born... Well, I remember it."

“The expansion of the Immortal Talisman Seal was originally in this position, I remember it.”

“It turns out that if the tower was not opened, the world would be like this…”

 He kept struggling, trying to wake up. It wasn't until the sixth night that she slowly removed her hand, allowing him to wake up.

 The brightness pierced Su Ming'an's pupils, and he shed physical tears unconsciously. It was raining heavily and people were walking on the streets like zombies. There are no people who try to study history, no people who look into the past, and no people who defy gods and coalition governments.

The environment of the street is very ordinary. It does not have the magnificence of the ancient building and moon, nor the elegance of the steam age. Because the tower is not opened, all the miracles have not happened. This is just an ordinary, featureless era.

“…This seems wrong.” Chaoyan said next to him.

Su Mingan turned his head. He didn't know this girl. They had never seen her before.

The girl stood with her hands behind her hands under the pouring rain. She did not hold an umbrella, and the overwhelming rain fell on their heads. Su Mingan stared at the street with twinkling lights. The evening train, full of people who had just finished working overtime, roared in the night rain. People only saw the short videos on their mobile phone screens. Through the small train glass, Su Mingan saw that they occasionally laughed heartily and sometimes had expressionless faces. Most of their eyes would stay on short and short videos with visual effects and entertainment effects. As for the low-interest content, as for the historical records and cultural heritage that flashed by... you will no longer see them soon.

"Yes, this seems wrong." Su Mingan said in a low voice.

 Although he didn't know what was wrong with this - this was obviously a peaceful and peaceful era, but he just felt that it shouldn't be like this.

 It should be far more brilliant and richer than it is now. This should not be such a disconnected and numb era.

Chao Yan straightened his back and walked forward.

“—Where are you going?” Su Mingan’s voice came.

She is only one step away from the edge of the rooftop. As long as she takes one step, she will fall like a fallen leaf.

"I'm thinking about where I will go if I jump from here." Chaoyan said.

 “I will die.” Su Mingan said.

"Then if you jump from here, where will you go?" Chaoyan turned around.

 The raindrops clung to her eyelashes and hair, and the water droplets flashed like diamonds.

"I..." Of course Su Ming'an won't die, but why would she ask him such a question? It's like they know each other well.

 It was obviously the first time they met.

Chao Yan stepped forward and hugged him slowly.

Su Mingan's shoulders were stiff. He didn't know who the girl in front of him was, or why she let him sleep for so long.

 But when she hugged him, he felt a deep touch in his heart, like an invisible thread slowly scratching his heart - making him feel that they might have hugged like this countless times.

"…sorry."

 Her choked sobs could be heard on her shoulders.

 …Why is she crying?

Su Mingan’s hands hung stiffly by his sides.

"I'm sorry...this time...I used not very good means against you. I just thought...if words can't stop you, maybe coercion can be effective on you. But I...still found that it doesn't work..." Her Tears mixed with the icy cold rain beat on his back.

"sorry Sorry…"

"...But if I don't approach you again and again and stop you, you will just walk to the prophetic stone wall again and again without knowing anything and start the big retracement, so...I really tried my best, I really...tried my best. ”

She seemed to have an emotional breakdown and suddenly raised her voice:

"Time and time again - again and again - why are you so stubborn! So stubborn! Why do you push yourself into the fire pit again and again?"

“I have never seen such a lunatic like you! I told all the horrible lies and tried every means to stop you, but you refused to miss a little bit of happiness—how much you want to be abused and how afraid of happiness—”

…What?

Su Mingan felt something warm and wet fall on his back, and the strange girl cried hard.

He vaguely understood the meaning of her words, and she said - isn't this the first time?

 “How many times is this?” So he asked softly.

"The ninth time." Chaoyan said in a low voice, "But you will still forget it."

 She slowly pulled away and gently tapped his forehead with her finger. Her emerald eyes flashed with water, reminding him of the aurora in the North. The aurora lay between the silver-blue stars, and it also had the same color and brightness.

 “Can I see you smile once?” Chao Yan said.

 “Huh?” Su Mingan was slightly confused.

"Smile sincerely once, just once. I have never seen you smile sincerely so many times before. At least... give me a little motivation." Chaoyan said.

"But I..." Su Mingan slept for so many days inexplicably, how could he show a sincere smile.

“Just think of it as a way to increase my favorability and smile at me once, okay?” Chao Yan said.

Su Mingan lowered his eyes for a moment.

Three seconds later, a bright smile without any impurities slowly appeared on his face. Even he himself didn't know why he showed such a smile - but he felt that maybe he should do this when facing her. laugh.

 The two guardians of the world stand opposite each other here.

At this moment, the girl seemed to see sunflowers all over the mountains and plains in the abyss.
