Volume 6 The End of It All, and the Beginning Chapter 168: Simple Awakening
Rarely entering the dream realm, Bai Nanyu found that he did not appear in the familiar, starlit corridor, but in a familiar room.
The place resembled her bedroom, but it looked tattered, the walls had been torn and the bricks were partially exposed. tried to turn on the light, but there was no response after pressing it several times, Bai Nanyu looked up and saw that the light had been broken.
Now the only light shone in from the window, like a searchlight, and it could only make Bai Nanyu barely see the surroundings clearly.
This place was so strange that Bai Nanyu felt a little uneasy, as if something was about to come out of her back. But what really needs to be noticed is that this is a dream, and she actually knows that she is in a dream.
This refers to the "dream" of the "Nightmare Dilemma".
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Nanyu planned to open the door and leave here, but as soon as his hand grabbed the doorknob, the door was opened from the outside.
Bai Nanyu, who saw this scene, was startled, retreated again and again, and sat directly on the bed. However, there is nothing to be afraid of in front of Bai Nanyu, because this person is himself, and he looks exactly like her.
No, it's exactly the same as she used to be, it's what she looks like when she is still living in the real world with her parents.
"Are you really leaving?" asked the former one.
"Yes...... Yes......"
"But my sister here is going to cry, and ...... The world over there is not something you can afford. The former Bai Nanyu seemed to know everything, "Although the king of the dead country forcibly woke you up, he only cared about making you awake, but he didn't care about what you would do in the future." ”
"I understand, I've thought about all of this. ”
Although her mouth said this, Bai Nanyu's heart was fluttering in the wind, she was also hesitant, and she was also asking herself - after returning to that world, can I stand up well.
The entire border of the Lost Country is almost under the control of the Lost Country, no matter how hard Bai Nanyu tries, it cannot be changed, because this can be said to be the world of the Lost Country. She can't change the status quo alone, and there must be many like-minded people working together.
But given the nature of the borders of the dead country, those who are on the move may be more interested in finding a place to live in peace, rather than joining such a war.
Now that Black Lake City has been destroyed, although it has not been completely removed from the map, Bai Nanyu's supporters have also formed their own homes and continued her dream in Black Lake City. Bai Nanyu knew what these people had done, but she was worried that it would lead to their death, so she never really acknowledged them.
They may be suffering now, but if they get through this on their own, maybe they will be safe for a while.
Why do the more I think about it, the more I feel that I don't need to go back......
What?
Finally, the searchlight-like light outside the window suddenly went out, and in the darkness, Bai Nanyu finally entered a hazy dream. In a trance, the world stopped running, Bai Nanyu walked in the void, looked at the floating memories, and gradually stopped.
"Do you want to be a hero, protect the world?" said the long-haired girl smiling at the short-haired girl.
The short-haired girl did not hesitate: "No, I just want to protect my sister." ”
"But to protect someone, the most fundamental thing is to protect the world, and when the world is peaceful, that person may be safe. The old man suddenly appeared, and Bai Nanyu suddenly noticed that the surroundings had changed.
"What......" Bai Nanyu asked subconsciously.
"Although this power can't protect the world over there, it can protect the world here, at least when she finally comes here, she can live happily. ”
"So, are you really going to be a watcher?"
Lin Yiming's figure replaced the old man, and also appeared in front of her, as her teacher, he asked gently.
"I ......"
Bai Nanyu was suddenly speechless, the corners of his mouth trembled a few times, but he said something unexpected.
"I just want to be an ordinary kid......"
"It's not a good idea. A familiar uncle's face suddenly appeared, it was Boss Wu who died not long ago, "Child, you are a watchman, you can't escape." Otherwise, you're no different from those who run away from reality. ”
I've had enough...... I am so tired......
"Xiaoyu, wake up, we need you!"
Farewell......
"You can't fall!"
I tried my best......
"Sister......
What the......
"I miss you so much......"
......
Gasping suddenly, Bai Nanyu sat up from the bed, staring around with wide eyes, looking frightened.
After a glance, it seemed that she had finally returned to her normal room. In the dream just now, Bai Nanyu was like experiencing a fantasy drift, returning here from that distant world, which made her feel difficult to calm down for a long time.
"We are willing to face it with her, and as long as we can let her come back to save us, we will definitely fight to the death on her side. ”
Over time, all the surviving strongholds in Black Lake City were basically wiped out by the fallen soldiers, and only a few escapees were left to form the last stronghold.
They lived with the Black Lake City Self-Defense Forces, in that dilapidated building.
Countless barbed wire fences stood above the high walls, beneath the grey dome, giving the poor survivors a sense of security.
According to intelligence, this stronghold will soon be attacked by the Dead Country, and even if the Bad Boys Alliance helps, the end will only be to die in the artillery fire of the Dead Country.
They can't stand it, and the clock of death has begun to count down.
Now the only one who can save them is the last administrator Bai Nanyu, but Bai Nanyu was dragged away by the people who died after being shot, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Regardless of the unreliable hope. When despair came to an end, unknown courage surged up, and people were ready to fight to the death for the last time, and had imagined that a large number of people rushed to the army of the dead country, but no one could get close to the tragic situation of the soldiers within five meters of the formation.
"I don't dare to do bad things anymore...... Spare me......"
"My old mother is still waiting for me to cook, I don't want to die......"
"So this is the strength of the dead country...... This is really no wonder Bai Nanyu...... If it were, I wouldn't be able to stop them......"
In the meantime, there were still people talking to themselves, or babbling their last words, but there was no watchman here to listen to, and no one heard what they said except each other. This kind of situation is actually the performance of the real border of the dead country, if it weren't for the "game" with Bai Nanyu, the king of the dead country would not give them a chance to breathe and develop.
Now that there is no "game", everything is back to its most normal state, and people are finally seeing the real status quo.
"Bai Nanyu, we feel that something is wrong with your state, are you starting to leave here. ”
Another day passed in the border world, and Xiao Jing once again sneaked into the building where Bai Nanyu's "corpse" was placed in the dead country, and entered Bai Nanyu's "nightmare dilemma".
What Xiao Jing didn't expect was that half a month had passed in the "Nightmare Dilemma", and this situation was common in this place where the timeline was extremely unstable. Of course, on the other hand, there are also situations where the reality is one or two days old, and the "nightmare dilemma" happens for a second or two.
But none of this is important, the important thing is that Bai Nanyu's situation is not optimistic.
When Xiao Jing discovered Bai Nanyu's abnormality and tried to ask without subtlety, Bai Nanyu really lied: "No...... There really isn't a ......."
"Don't lie to me, you can't fool me. Xiao Jing shook her head, looking a little disappointed, but more worried about Bai Nanyu, "Tell me honestly, don't you want to leave here anymore?
Xiao Jing's words fell for a long time, and Bai Nanyu didn't speak again, but Xiao Jing looked at her eyes patiently and waited silently. This kind of gaze made Bai Nanyu can't help but feel his scalp tingle, which is as frightening as being stared at by a teacher for doing something wrong.
"I'm sorry...... You know, I've always been a selfish person, and I haven't had a very good temper...... The only thing I care about is my sister, and my sister is here right now. ”
"This one is fake. ”
"I understand...... But I can't do it...... I...... I wanted to get out of here a few days ago...... But as soon as I walked out the door, my sister's face appeared in front of me, and I ...... What if the world is still running after I'm gone...... My sister doesn't just ......."
"You were so stupid that you didn't let me down. ”
At this time, Bai Nanyu obviously didn't go through her brain much when she spoke, because she had given up thinking now. Although she already knew the facts and knew that she had to go back, the desperate world discouraged her, and she was still scared - after all, she was thinking too much.
Maybe if she thought about something less, she would go back to reality firmly, but now it seems that Bai Nanyu's mind is in chaos. She thought about her future life, what her sister would become when she returned, and what would happen if her country was destroyed and still existed...... The more he thought about it, the more confused and frightened Bai Nanyu became.
So in the end, in this half-month of life, Bai Nanyu gradually gave up thinking and became an NPC-like existence.
"Bai Nanyu, you must know that if you continue like this now, it won't be long before you become a nightmare. Xiao Jing's expression was unprecedentedly serious, and her hand tightly grasped Bai Nanyu's shoulder, "Then these dreams will disappear, and you will still be forced to accept reality, and in a way that is even more unacceptable to you." ”
"But...... I...... I really want to...... I ......"
After a long time, Bai Nanyu just sighed, although he understood everything, but he couldn't accept the feeling that it was really countless times more uncomfortable than being in the dark.
"Bai Nanyu, why can't you think about it like this, no matter what will happen to your sister after she goes back, at least she survived, she still has a lot of ways to go. And you are the same, if you go back, you, as the real administrator, will definitely be able to set off a storm. Maybe you can actually build the world you have in mind? I know you're tired of hearing it, but I want to say it anyway. Xiao Jing said and sat next to Bai Nanyu and quietly approached her.
"Can I give it a hug?"
As soon as she was close to Bai Nanyu, Xiao Jing heard Bai Nanyu's request, so she opened her arms without hesitation, and then hugged Bai Nanyu's petite body.
The atmosphere began to fall silent again, but this time it was not a cold silence.
I don't know how long it took, Bai Nanyu hugged Xiao Jing tightly, put it in her ear and said something inexplicable: "What can I do if I am saved, it's just a senseless struggle, life will fall one day, and everything will disappear......"
"So we have to try to bloom as beautiful as possible in the limited time, instead of being sad like an old woman all day long. Xiao Jing was not surprised to hear Bai Nanyu's words, and poked her somewhat fleshy face as she spoke.
For a limited time...... What a hassle. Bai Nanyu thought about it and looked at Xiao Jing's face, suddenly pouted, and complained angrily: "It's so troublesome...... It's a hassle to be alive......"
"Then let's live a simpler life. Such an answer seemed to have developed a conditioned reflex in her brain, Xiao Jing didn't think about it, and replied directly.
Is it easier to live? Is it really easy to live? What a child's thought......
Bai Nanyu shook his head, stopped thinking again, clarified his thoughts, and simply made his thoughts a little "simpler". What is the simplicity of that? In fact, if you can't figure it out, you don't think about it, you just live in the simplest way, and you forget about all your worries and everything.
Although being reckless is a bad thing, always thinking too much about "what will happen to the consequences" is not necessarily a good thing for Bai Nanyu.
"Okay Xiao Jing, I've decided, I'm going to leave here. Bai Nanyu suddenly showed a relaxed smile, "Just today." ”
