Chapter 172: The End of Everything (Final Chapter)
……
"Do you remember?" In the dark alley, his palms covered the top of her head, tilting his head, and his eyes asked her with a bit of loneliness......
"Are you awake?" Standing behind the door, she slapped him hard, then wiped his forehead hard, and looked at him indifferently. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Behind her, the girl in the turquoise dress crept into hiding......
"Humans, in fact, are the same as hedgehogs." Outside the movie theater, she took the hand of Green Hime, who was invisible to ordinary people, and stood in the crowd, talking to herself. "Vainly trying to hug each other will only let the thorns on the other party's body stab you until you are bruised all over your body."
"Be my companion!" He stood in the midst of light and shadow, smiled expectantly, and stretched out his palm to her, so that he could ......
"It's a flower demon ...... who appeared today," the glow of the setting sun shone into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. He sat down on the couch and whispered to her, who was carefully tending to his wounds, sharing everything about him with her.
"Take me out, Zhang Zhou." On the night of her birthday, she called his name and begged him to take her out, into the forbidden zone of the night, to breathe the air of the night that she had forgotten the smell of......
"Nothing lasts forever, Li Ai." He drew a knife and tore that world apart, and also tore all her evasions and excuses. With her back to the shattered sky, she chanted her name......
"You're not Zhang Zhou." He was pressed down on the bed by the golden light in his eyes, and when he looked down condescendingly, she spoke calmly without struggling. He wasn't him, she knew it so well. Perhaps, at that time, everything that followed had already shown its clues......
"I'll be right back......" he whispered behind him. She nodded slightly, and the next moment, his aura vanished from behind her. Her body froze, and when she looked up again, she saw him coming out of another alley......
"You are about to lose the existence that is most important to you right now. And the being that wants to strip him out of the world you live in, you can't contend with. The city is far less beautiful than it seems. Where you can't see, there's filth that you can't touch or imagine. If he dies in the end, then the murderer, in a way, may be this beautiful city......" In the rainy night, Moyin Bao'er stood in front of her who woke up from her dream, whispering ominous words......
"I once said that there are beautiful women in the west, and the female respects Yaochi, and I don't know the age or the people." The last words she left behind became the only straw she clenched in her hands afterward......
"Let's go." On the night when the girl in green appeared, sensing that something was wrong with him, she left the lonely stall, sat on the back seat of the bicycle, and then hugged his waist tightly, as if she could hold on to something......
Li Ai...... I'm not going to die! She stood in the shade of the trees on a breezy night, and he stroked her long hair, so promised......
"That person, it won't be the Wang Yue who confessed to you, right?" On the way out of the rooftop, he stood on the stairs as he walked, asking her such a question stupidly. At that time, he was obviously very concerned, but he didn't feel this way at all......
"I'm scared, Zhang Zhou." At that time, she was weak in words, trying to be strong for him. "I'm afraid of losing you, what am I going to do if you do disappear from my life?" She grabbed him by the sleeve with a crying voice and said this......
"Li Ai." In the familiar living room, he called her name softly, and his eyes were full of tenderness that could not be dissolved. "Socialize with me." He said this, and his face was full of expectation. "Socialize me and be my girlfriend." That was his clumsy confession......
"You're back." Sitting on the sofa, she spoke softly, while he changed his shoes with vegetables at the door, looked up with a smile and responded to her, "Well, I'm back." ”
The simple question and answer, some trivial repetitions, but it added a bit of vague tenderness to her eyes at that time. What she longed for, what she hoped for, what she wanted, and the future she hoped for with his existence were full of such plain and happy scenes. In a trance, she only felt that everything she had longed for had been realized. So weak, so attachment, so ...... In the end, it will become what it is now......
She pursed her lips with her eyes closed, a smile of anticipation still on her face, but tears slid down her cheeks and onto her clothes, smearing with sadness. Still, despite feeling the sadness, she still had a smile on her face. No matter what the outcome turns out to become...... At least, she had regained his presence, and at least, she could remember him.
I remember the encounter with him, I remember the past with him, I remember his confession, I remember the promise he failed to fulfill, and the sweet date...... And that date was the last peace left between him and him. After she told him all her lies on the Ferris wheel, everything took a turn for the worse after he left with that sentence. At that time, he turned his back to her and said to her in a hoarse voice, "Let's separate for a while...... Let's calm each other......"
Calm down...... In the end, he said that there was no result, and only regret remained......
"I want to give you a promise...... It's a pity that I don't have an afterlife......" In that dream, he stroked her hair, stared at the chaotic Sansheng Stone, said regretfully, and then shattered into pieces......
"I'm sorry, Li Ai, forget me......" In the alley where everything began and where everything ended, he hugged her with all his might, whispered in her tearful ear, and then erased her memory......
She opened her eyes, lifted her sleeves, and silently wiped away the tears that flowed from her face because of the memory. Then she raised her head and stared at Moyin Bao'er, who was silently staring at her, and the compassion in her eyes was even stronger, and then, she spoke, "Tell me...... Truth ......."
"......" Mo Yin Bao'er didn't speak, just silently looked away, and then dropped the palm that had just been removed on Li Ai's forehead again. After a long time, she removed her palm again, but she kept her gaze staggered, unwilling to fall on her.
Wang Yue on the side hurriedly stepped forward and held her somewhat pale palm. Feeling the warm feeling coming from his palm, Mo Yin Bao'er silently glanced up at him, and her somewhat pale face slightly recovered a little red. Wang Yue, who noticed this, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head and glanced in the direction where Li Ai was standing. But I didn't see her presence. He raised his eyes in some astonishment, glanced left and right, and then noticed her figure.
It's just that, compared to the gloomy but very strong and stubborn figure in his memory, she looks so fragile now...... He blinked, turned his head to look at Moyin Bao'er, and asked tentatively, "Bao'er, what's wrong with Zhang Zhou?" What happened to her? Why do I feel like I've forgotten a lot? ”
"It's nothing, those things have nothing to do with us......" Mo Yin Bao'er shook his head, grabbed his palm, and turned his eyes to stare at Li Ai's distant back, "Those things that you have forgotten, it's better not to remember them......"
"Oh." Hearing her say this, Wang Yue blinked, and after answering, he threw all those questions into his mind. Since she said not to remember, she simply didn't care...... In front of her who was lost and regained, nothing could make him feel more important.
I'm a hero. You think so, and use it as a reason to dominate the power you have been given, to fight with every moment of pain. You firmly believe that what you do is your responsibility.
But what if one day you suddenly find yourself living in a world created by someone to accomplish a plot? What if one day you find that your responsibility is only a shackle created by someone else? What if one day you find that the disaster you are facing was deliberately created by someone else, and that you are the core purpose of the disaster?
What will you do when you find that you have tried your best to block out the bland, endure the loneliness that no one understands, face everyone's ridicule, and the cruel world that you have been isolated from and do not want the world to know is in fact only forged for you in the first place?
What happens when you realize that everything you do is actually aimed at killing yourself? What happens when you realize that everything you do is not necessary if you are not chosen? What happens when you lose all cover, when you are naked and isolated?
Each of these questions was dripping with blood, and every word and phrase had really happened in front of her. But she knew that she only knew at this moment, and only then did she understand......
As she walked, she silently bit her lower lip, only to feel a terrible pain in her chest. She couldn't help but think about it...... In the end, when he knows the truth, how will he feel in his heart...... How painful it would be for him, who regarded that kind of killing as a means of atonement for his sins, after knowing the truth of everything......
Thinking of this, her heart ached fiercely, she stumbled under her feet, and almost fell to the ground. She subconsciously stretched out her hand and supported the wall next to her, but when she looked up again, she realized that this place was very familiar, familiar to the point of terrifying her. It was the outermost wall of the place he had left.
It turned out that she saw this at that time. And the reason why she was scared was also because this was where she lost him. She smiled miserably and walked into the narrow alley by holding on to the wall.
Standing in the alley, covered in a thin layer of snow, her eyes wandered around, looking for the traces left by the first intersection with him, but found nothing. How is it possible to find it? She sneered softly, how could this disgusting city leave those traces?
Sneering, her body stiffened suddenly, and the gaze that had been removed turned back again, frozen in the slightly protruding silhouette under the thin white snow. She came there cautiously and with a little trepidation. With some trembling hands, he brushed away the thin layer of snow......
She silently bit her lower lip, picked up the green girl buried in the snow, the puppet had a faint green light flickering, the next moment, her eyes became distant, in a trance, she seemed to return to the snowy night, back to the time when she fainted in his arms......
It seemed to see him shattered into a fluorescent sky, as if she heard him whisper broken words in her ear as she tried hard in the wind. She couldn't help but murmur in a low voice, repeating his words, "If there is an afterlife...... At that moment, a repeating voice sounded in the narrow alley, as if he was repeating what he had said. In a trance, she seemed to see him standing in front of her, repeating his last words, so she responded to his words with a gentle smile......
"When you see me again......" he lowered his eyes, silently hopeful......
"When I see you again......" she stared at his apparition, tears in her eyes......
"Please call me the second disease......" He closed his eyes, and it shattered and dissipated......
"I'll call you the second sick ......" she choked up, the expression on her face not knowing whether to cry or laugh......
She knew what he was thinking. If there is an afterlife, he doesn't want to get involved in right and wrong anymore, he just wants to be a somewhat alternative middle two disease, he just wants to meet her, he just wants to be her dependence, he just wants to be a ...... She is a hero alone. The world is too big, he can't protect it, and he doesn't want to protect it...... He was tired and tired, and in the end, she was the only one who wanted to guard......
However, such a simple and small hope has no possibility of being realized...... He is gone, and there is no afterlife...... No matter how long she waits, she can't wait for that afterlife, and she can't wait for the person who calls him the second disease when she sees her again......
And all because of it! So, she wants to erase its existence! Not for anything else, just for this hatred! Since you took him, go and accompany him! So, with this hatred, she studied archaeology under the guidance of Moyin Bao'er, and with her help, she successfully obtained the qualification to participate in the work of opening the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang within two years, and finally got the thing that could achieve her goal.
Two and a half years later, she took the object back to the narrow alley that represented the beginning and the end. By then, a thick gray mist had covered the city, and she held it in her hand, and walked step by step into the narrow alley, and then, where she had lost him, it was all over!
Three years later, she revisited her old place. It's just that the place where it all happened has gradually become a matter of things. The alleys where it all began and ended were fenced off and were to be demolished and rebuilt; The old house where he lived was to be demolished...... That place, the place where she had felt her heart for the first time, was now gone, just like the existence that stayed in his right eye, stared at her quietly at the end, and then sighed with complexity, and disappeared with that thing.
What about the change...... Everything is changing, no longer the way it was at the beginning, only she is left, only she is left, in the passage of time, in the quiet of the years, alone with the loneliness that only she has embraced.
