Chapter 16: The First Dream

Here it is...... Where is it?

The man's voice was so loud, deep, heavy, and blurred, empty, as if in the ears, as if outside the sky, making it impossible to grasp the sense of distance from the owner of the voice.

This feeling of emptiness...... Is it a dream?

The man thought this, and the mysterious voices around him repeated his heart.

Probably, it's a dream.

X has lived in a training camp for as long as he can remember, with a rigorous education for assassins, as the saying goes, dreams are thoughts, what happens if a person never has any hopes, expectations or other feelings?

Probably, that's it, it's empty.

He who has neither desire nor desire is such an emptiness.

Occasionally, such people with broken hearts have suffered too much crisis when they were too young, causing problems in their hearts, in other words, they can also be summed up in the mundane term "mental illness".

He...... Mental abnormality.

As mentioned before, the reason X trains hard is not because he wants to live, nor because he enjoys the process of training, but because there is nothing else to do, because he has nothing else to do to pass the time except training. Well, apart from training, training hard, there is nothing else to do.

However, this is also incorrect.

Aya Maki once commented on him.

"If you don't want to live, then it's more right to die, right?"

Because if you die, you won't be bored.

If he is really not attached to life, then the right thing for him to do is to seek death instead of crazy training.

Many times, humans naively think that they know themselves best, that they know best what they want. The sad truth is that more people don't understand what they really want.

For example, Yan Feng Qili, he thinks of himself as a person who has no desires, in order to find enough to fill his emptiness and constantly delve into everything he can master, and finally he is awakened in the Holy Grail War, and what he longs for is the [pleasure] that he once scorned.

Many times, human beings always misjudge themselves.

If it is really according to X's [self-thought], he has no desire to survive, and at the same time feels that there is too much time and is boring, then the most suitable thing for him should be death rather than training.

was besieged before, and he should also enjoy his death in peace, not desperately.

All this shows that he is eager to live, and he wants to live. This is something that Aya Maki has already determined. In fact, if X weren't a person desperate to survive, her plans would have gone down completely.

But either way, he is an empty man, and that can't be wrong.

Ordinary people don't have such empty dreams.

Human beings may dream of fierce battles to satisfy their desire to vent violence, or they may dream of entering the phase and sitting in a harem to satisfy their desire to gain power, or they may dream that they are spending money before the moon and growing old with their sons, so as to satisfy their desire to have a beautiful woman. Or it is to tamper with something that doesn't go well to it, or even to dream of something terrible, so as to get [stimulation].

However, dreams like X, where there is nothing, are too rare.

There is no desire for dreams, so it is a blank slate.

Floating in this empty space, X only felt that everything was empty, and his consciousness was still quite awake, but this space itself was his consciousness, and all his thoughts would turn into a special reverberating language, slowly repeated.

"I ...... Probably not dead. ”

He came to this conclusion.

Although he didn't know what it was like to be dead, according to the analysis of modern science, it should be impossible to retain consciousness when dead. Assassins don't need those strange speculations, and X, as the leader of assassins, naturally doesn't believe in any souls.

It's very simple, I can still think, so I'm still alive. That's probably the logic.

Dreams are such things, and now that you know that you are still alive and just dreaming, many things become controllable.

For example, X begins to seriously recall his previous actions.

Why...... Can you dream?

Rainstorm.

Chilly.

Bleed.

Pain.

Not......

Also, deathmatch.

With the power of one person, against many colleagues.

It was a thrilling battle.

But...... I shouldn't have killed everyone.

After doing the math, there should be 3 people who have not been killed.

Still is...... 4 coming? Oops......

X's memory is a little vague, which is understandable, after all, he was at the same time in low temperature, blood loss, and the curse erosion of the curse bomb, and it was strange that he could still remember it clearly.

So...... Why are you still alive?

Be...... Is it Ayaki Makiri......

Speaking of that woman, what the hell is she here for?

The more X thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. This woman always gave him a strange feeling.

When we met for the first time, I had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with her, which can also be explained by the fact that the two have similar hair colors, perhaps of the same race. After all, most of the people here are blonde and blue-eyed Western magicians, and black-haired ones like X are rare.

And after that, this woman always approached herself as if she were nothing......

What the hell do I have to be so optimistic about her?

Is it the ability to be an assassin? No, the kind of thing that can be obtained by training, why does she ......

Incomprehensible.

X silently pondered, allowing his body to float in the ocean of consciousness.

In a vague trance, it was as if I heard someone's voice, a woman's voice.

Don't think about it, it must be Ayaya Makiri.

Because if there is no accident, it should be that the people in the training camp are all dead, and there are only two people left, himself and Aya Makiri.

With a little effort, X opened his eyes, and his retina was blurry, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Ah, you're awake. ”

It seemed to be a woman's voice, but it was very vague, as if it was chatting through a layer of water, and the retina tried to catch the colors of the ceiling, but it could not focus.

Because I am conscious, I can feel pain, my body is very hot, and I am very weak......

Do you have a fever?

He quickly thought of this possibility.

Yes, I think I have a fever.

First he was injured in the shoulder, and the bullet was not dug out, and then he was bleeding and raining, and he suffered a double blow of blood loss and hypothermia, and finally he ate several spell bullets, which quickly aggravated his [injury].

"Hmm...... Uh-huh......"

He wanted to say, "What time is it now?", but as soon as the words came out, it turned into a vague dream.

Although the consciousness is still very clear, the body cannot be perfectly controlled by the consciousness.

"Ah, don't talk, let's eat something first. Anyway, we've won, we've won!

Aya Makiri said it easily, but because of blurred vision, he couldn't see her expression, but considering her personality, she should be smiling very sweetly. Obviously, he killed his colleagues who had been training together for many days, and the kind of character that could still be laughed at was really chilling, chilling.

"Hmmm......"

However, what is most needed now is to regain physical strength.

X judged.

A sick and weak person often has little appetite, but even if he has no appetite, he has to force himself to eat, because this is the easiest and most direct way for him to gain physical strength.

Aya Maki prepares porridge for him, which is the best food for those who are recovering from a serious illness without burdening their stomachs and restoring their strength.

The taste, but I can't eat it, my body is too weak, and even my sense of taste is paralyzed, and X only feels muddy, although he is conscious, but the command of the brain cannot be accurately given to the body...... It's so annoying.

There is an illusion that the body is not oneself.

Reluctantly let the food swallow down his throat and into his stomach, recovering a little bit of strength, and without asking more than X, Aya Maki took the initiative to explain the details of this battle to him.

Sure enough, as X expected, Aya Maki solved the remaining three.

This means that this woman is definitely not as weak as he thinks.

Sixteen into two, that is, this is the final victor.

Aya Maki took X back to the gathering point, and then was sent back to the training camp, because of X's special situation, even the instructor specially allowed two days of rest. Now, it's still resting.

(Are there any special circumstances...... I don't think our instructors are the kind of people who talk to each other. With that said, it felt a little wrong from the time Aya Maki joined the training camp. Generally speaking, if someone like Aya Makiri, who obviously has a [background], wants to join the training camp, the instructor will not know about it? It's hard to believe. )

"Hawkers,Actually, it's about winning.,Actually,People just pretend to cry.,Take advantage of them not paying attention.,biubiubiu!"

After a few serious words, she immediately became lively, her hands gestured like a pistol, and she simulated the sound of a gunshot with her mouth, how funny it looked.

"Heh......"

Even the unsmiling teenager was amused by her untense expression, and the corners of his mouth curled a little.

"You're smiling, you're laughing, I thought you weren't going to laugh!!"

As if she had discovered a new continent, Aya Maki chirped to express her excitement, looking at her overexcited appearance, X felt more and more that the future was uncertain.
