Chapter 4: The Final Hour Will Come (Finale)
"Here...... Is it the Outer World? β
Miu squinted and looked around.
A gray landscape, and those twisted things.
"Very familiar view."
"Looks like you've completely escaped [from prison]."
Hearing the words in his ears, Miu was stunned, and then turned back with a smile on his face.
"I'm back, Miao."
Standing quietly behind her, looking at her.
"Have you decided?"
"As you said, "Facing what you fear is the way for everyone."
Miu said with a smile.
"Then come with me." Miao said, turning and walking into the building behind him.
Raising an eyebrow, Miu followed Miu into the building.
"Where the hell is this?" She asked.
"Here...... It's your home. Miao said as she walked.
"My home...... Miu turned his head to look around, "no wonder...... It sounds familiar. β
"Is this the home I remember? It's the first time I've ever known that something in my memory looks like this......"
Miao's footsteps paused, but then he took a casual step.
"Looks like you already know it all?"
"I just guessed it."
Miu smiled, "Looks like I guessed right." β
Miao came to a certain door, stopped, and Miu stopped behind him.
"Is it here?"
"Open this door and confront what you fear."
Miao said, leaning sideways and getting out of the way.
Miu took a step forward, stretched out his hand and grasped the doorknob, and was about to unscrew it, but suddenly hesitated in his heart.
After a while, she smiled.
"Look, how familiar is this scene?"
ββ¦β¦β
Miao just looked at her quietly and didn't speak.
Miu took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
For a moment, a bright light shot out of the door enveloped everything around them.
"Good luck, my lord."
Miao's body was illuminated by this strong light, and it turned into black mist almost instantly.
Before it dissipated, he uttered the words, calmly and calmly.
ββββββββ
When the bright light in front of him finally dissipated, Miu lowered the hand covering his eyes. Only then did she see the scenery around her.
The walls of this room are filled with all kinds of photographs, but the contents of the photos are blurry.
Miu slowly walked to one of the walls, reaching out and gently touching one of the frames.
For a moment, a memory came to her mind.
"Sweet ...... Sweet! You wait for me......"
"Ah, Miu, come quickly, there's nothing to eat when you're late!"
"Ah...... Yikes!! Woo...... Woo...... Sweet...... Sweet ......"
"Why did you fall? Have you ever been injured in a fall? What a careless ...... Come, I'll hold you. β
As this memory emerged, the picture in this frame became clear.
In the photo, Jiang Tiantian hugged Miwu, who had broken his knee and was crying, and walked in the direction of the camera.
Miu withdrew his hand and reached for another frame, another memory flooding back into his mind.
"Daddy...... Mom...... Woohoo......"
As if electrocuted, Miu abruptly withdrew his hand, and the clear picture on the frame slowly returned to chaos.
But that memory gradually began to revival.
It was supposed to be a happy day, it was supposed to be a beautiful birthday. But......
On the road, at the scene of a car accident, Miu's parents collapsed in a pool of blood. Miu, who was held in her mother's arms, threw her out the moment the truck hit her.
The picture on the frame, with the revival of this memory, still regained clarity.
"Woo......"
Miu covered her mouth and choked to keep herself from crying, but the tears kept falling.
"Facing what you fear is the way for everyone."
Miao's words rang in Miu's ears again.
"Shhhh
Miu closed her eyes, took a long breath, and once again reached for the next frame.
"It's hot...... It's hot...... I'm in so much pain......"
"Daddy...... Mom...... Come and save me......"
"Hmm......"
"Report! Discover the survivors! Please be prepared for first aid! β
In the framed photo, in a sea of fire, the burned Miu is still holding a doll tightly, and a firefighter wearing a yellow fireproof suit picks her up.
There are still many photo frames, Miu touched them one by one, countless memories gradually recovered, and the sadness in her heart became stronger and stronger.
All the way to the last frame.
Miu...... You have to be strong to live...... That's what your parents want you to do. β
It was an old man, whose face he couldn't remember, gently stroking Miu's head wrapped in bandages.
"I'm going to live......"
Miu bit her lip tightly, tears already soaking the clothes on her chest.
"I'm going to ...... from this hellish place Get out ......"
"Boom!"
Everything around it collapsed with a bang.
In the darkness, there was only Miu and another vague figure who couldn't see clearly.
Miu wiped away her tears, looked up, and looked at the figure.
"You...... Is it the Ghost King? β
The figure writhed, and turned to face Miu.
Then, the thick black mist on the figure's body gradually dissipated, revealing the figure inside.
When he saw the man's face clearly, Miu looked surprised.
"You...... You ......"
"Unexpectedly, in the end, I still failed. Sure enough, I'm still ...... Too naΓ―ve? β
The Ghost King laughed to himself.
Miu's face was complicated, "You...... Who the hell is it? β
"Me? I'm you. The Ghost King's face, which was exactly the same as Miu's, showed a smile, "When you refused to face reality and didn't want to wake up, I appeared." β
"But now it looks like you've made your decision."
"I'm going to live well......"
Miu approached the ghost king step by step, and finally, stood in front of the ghost king.
"Then come and kill me."
The Ghost King looked at Miu calmly and opened his hands towards her.
ββ¦β¦ Sorry ......"
Miu closed her eyes, and black mist poured out of her body, finally condensing into a pitch-black dagger that stabbed into the Ghost King's chest.
Clean and neat.
ββββββββ
Miu opened her eyes in a daze, and her eyes, which had not been exposed to light for a long time, suddenly felt a tingling pain, which made her let out a muffled snort and involuntarily closed her eyes again.
"Da Da Da ......"
There was a sound of footsteps peculiar to high heels, and then Miu felt a man approaching her.
Raising her eyelids slightly, she looked through the gap and looked at the person who looked like a nurse.
The nurse checked her condition, then turned her head and made a few gestures towards somewhere behind her.
Behind her, is there anyone else?
Miu didn't know, she couldn't see it, and she didn't have the energy to pay attention to such a thing. The pain in her body has been constantly invading her nerves since she woke up, making her feel unbearable.
After a while, the nurse seemed to get an affirmative answer, and she pulled out a pair of syringes from the side, as well as a bottle of potion.
Miu was then injected by the nurse.
After the injection was completed, the nurse left in a hurry.
Soon, Miu felt sleepy again.
She closed her eyes again.
A figure appeared in her mind.
It was a young man.
