8. Don't look back......
The starlit world is like a faded picture, slowly fading.
The young figure hanging from the chains of the stars then disintegrated, and the wails mixed with the incomprehensible laughter reached my ears, and he looked at me one last time, but I did not have the courage to turn my head to meet him.
So, in this way, he finally dispersed with the starlight world but disappeared......
I never imagined that someone's life would be lost because of me, and my tear ducts twitched as soon as I came too quickly, but I seemed to realize that I didn't seem to have the position or qualification to shed tears, but only a tearing throbbing.
Half of Ayayue's cheeks were pressed against the cold dusty ground, and she looked at me with soft eyes:
"I'm sorry, I killed him."
"No need to apologize, he wants to kill you, you kill him, you should ......"
I turned my head, barely squeezing out a smile and comforting me.
"We have to leave! Before anyone comes......"
I forced myself to stand up, pulled Ayayue up, put it back on my back, and staggered down the path.
"I'm sorry, I was stunned and couldn't hold you in time......"
“……”
Ayayue, who was brushed off by my fingers, buried her head in the side of my neck, probably too tired to reply.
Until I don't know how many gloomy paths have been drilled, the noisy road with traffic appears at the end of the field of vision.
Ayayue's cheek was pressed against my right shoulder, and suddenly a stunned voice sounded:
"Why didn't you run away before?"
The skin on her shoulders tactfully told me, and the corners of her lips squirmed, as if she were smiling, but there was warmth and dampness over my clothes.
I was stumped by this question.
Why?
I guess I didn't even have this option in my head......
Reality is not a gal, and it does not leave me time to think and analyze the pros and cons.
"You can avoid danger...... If I'm killed, you'll be free! ”
"What are you kidding?"
I couldn't help but be stunned, and I felt ridiculous to ask this rhetorical question, and there was no sound behind me again.
After taking a few more steps, with a light on her back, she jumped down, as if in a short time she had recovered some energy and straightened her clothes.
We walked side by side between the buildings, the bright sunlight shining on my face, as if the living world was opening up to me again.
However, I knew that there was no going back......
…………………………
It was a spacious and chic apartment, and on top of the white and soft bed in the bedroom, I stretched my limbs and exchanged air with the outside world.
Ever since she returned to her unique home, she has been busy making phone calls, not knowing what she is arranging.
The events of today replayed in my mind, and finally fixed on the face of the young man who looked at me at the moment......
"Woo!"
I grabbed a large, soft pillow and pressed it hard against my head.
A faint scent then hit the tip of my nose.
"Huh?"
I sat up, holding the big, soft pillow in both hands...... This is probably what Ayayue uses every day, right?
Probably the bedding under me is the same.
"Gollum ......"
I swallowed, and just as I didn't know what to do, the bedroom door was pushed open and the master walked in.
"Still thinking about the past? Look at the way you look in a trance. ”
With a tired face, she picked up the glass glass on the top of the desk and drank the water inside.
"Also...... OK. ”
I carefully put the pillow back on the bed, trying to remind her that I had just used the cup, but I still couldn't keep up with her speed, so I decided to bury this fact in my stomach and carry it into the coffin......
"Xiaoli, do you feel any discomfort?"
Putting down the cup, her expression suddenly became serious, staring at me.
"Nope...... What's wrong? ”
I couldn't help but ask blankly.
"That's good......"
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're the only person I've ever seen who has a dual perspective of humanity and humanity, and I can't predict what kind of impact it will have when humans themselves intervene in our battles......"
"But now it seems to be fine."
I shrugged my shoulders as I looked at her stern expression, trying to make my tone as relaxed as possible.
"But speaking of which...... Are you fighting in another dimension? I see overlapping realities......"
I finally couldn't help but ask.
"It is the 'realm', the spiritual realm that rubs the present world, materially speaking, it is a realm that does not exist and can only be touched by consciousness......"
She explained to me that she was wearing a light-colored pajama at the moment, with a white suspender belt around her slender and slender neck like a white swan, and the slightly puffed folds of her shoulders were connected to the loose style that extended down to the knees and lifted inward.
"Each 'world' is born with different 'realms' according to its own different characteristics...... Of course, in general, it can also be divided into several broad categories, some of which are more common and some of which are rare. ”
She ruffled her long hair back, letting it spread softly behind her back, creating a light shampoo scent.
"For example, the 'Illusion' Realm you encountered last night is one of the rare 'Realm' species. Those who fall into it will unconsciously act according to the misinformation imprinted in their consciousness and act what they think is right. Until he is in danger, he will not be able to see the true face of the person who has trapped him in the 'realm', and he will always be under the control and play of the enemy......"
"Isn't that woman last night ......?"
I thought of the experience of going inexplicably deep into the small garden along the brightly lit road last night, and the charming female body that seemed to be a collection of enchanting in the world came to mind......
"It's just an illusion of the 'world' in your consciousness."
Ayayue glanced at me sneeringly, and I quickly embarrassedly restrained the reverie on my face.
"The controller of the illusory 'realm' is mostly fragile in its own ontology attack and defense ability, so unless it is recognized as a real body, it will never appear in front of any enemies and prey...... To the outside world, the 'Illusory World' is like a labyrinth of time and space! ”
She didn't know what she remembered, and she sighed with a look of recollection.
"But didn't you come to my side last night?"
I asked curiously, and she turned her head to look at me with a clear gaze, and stated with a flat expression:
"That's because I've converged on my own 'boundary.'"
"So you can crack the 'Illusory World'?"
If so, the so-called 'Illusory Realm' may be too unworthy of its name......
I couldn't help but be suspicious, and then I saw her smile on her face:
"It's not 'cracking', it's giving up a qiē resistance...... For you, not opening the realm and entering someone else's realm is tantamount to being naked, unguarded in the most passive danger. ”
