"Hurry up, the prom has begun. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The girl grabbed my hand and led me lightly over the bridge and along the shoreline at that end. In the night, there are sparks hidden in the clouds and mist ahead, like the aurora falling on the ground, changing colors that have never been seen before. There was faint music and the sound of talking, but no human figure could be seen.

The waves didn't go past my feet, there was no damp feeling, only a sparse coolness, and as we approached the light, the clouds began to take on color, and the sky began to rain light, and the rain shone through my body like a meteor.

"The fog has lifted." The girl squeezed my hand and pointed it into the air—there was a hanging garden, which must have been the place for the dinner party.

We walked along the light spots on both sides of the road, and the seemingly flat road stretched all the way up, like stepping on a transparent saka road. She was right, the fog had cleared, and I could see that her pale pink dress was like a blooming peach blossom, and every time it swayed, the petals really floated down, and those petals were like snowflakes that melted when they fell to the ground.

The "Aurora", which was still on the ground just now, also climbed to a high place with us, and the circular garden at the end of the road floated beside the Milky Way. Everything from the number of plants, to the placement of decorations, to the intricate patterns on the dance floor, is symmetrical. At the top of the garden, the huge incense stick at the top of the garden, which never seemed to go out, burned with a warm glow and reflected on everyone's faces. The faces of the sub-gap, familiar and unfamiliar, were all dressed in another solemn skin, dancing around the dance floor of the ancient trees between the meteor showers. I smelled a scent of sandalwood, but I couldn't find the source.

It was a little different from what I had imagined, I thought it would be some pompous European-style castle, with gems in every carved wall, bright lights in the room, and a live band in the center, maybe baroque classical, maybe jazz, but now it's the rhythm and blues that were popular in my mother's time - but they were from my mother's time.

"Let's go dance." The girl pulled me to join them.

"Are you M6 or M6-2?"

"It doesn't matter," she leaned over and put her left hand on my back, "I only have one dance time, so let's take it as an illusion." ”

"I can't dance."

"It's okay, just follow me in circles."

She leaned on my shoulder and led me to the dance floor for a gentle spin as if we had known each other for a long time. It's a weird feeling, she's not as brutal as M6, more girly playfulness than M6-2, but her face is exactly like theirs, and I can only stiffen at her mercy, hoping that she can tell who she is.

"I miss it so much......" she murmured in my chest, and I could feel her body trembling slightly.

"Are you crying?"

"No, it's a meteor in the eye." She looked up and smiled, "If only this song never ended." ”

"...... the hell you have"

"Maybe it's good to stay here forever?"

"I don't understand, you ......"

"The music is almost over."

"Hmmm......"

"At least for the time of this song, you belong to me."

The song began to come to an end, and I stopped and let go of my hand."Tell me clearly, who the hell are you?"

"You won't remember me." She reached out and stroked my cheek, "I won't remember you either." ”

I pushed her hand away. "Is it fun to tease me like that?"

"You turn around, count to three, and you'll see me as I really am."

"I don't ......"

"So ......"

She deftly circled behind my back, and I turned after the petals of her skirt, which was empty.

She vanished into thin air.

I don't understand, is this really a hallucination? Even if it's an illusion, how could my hallucinatory object have an M6 face?

I didn't have much time to think, and as soon as the music stopped, the disgusting sound of Xiao 339 resounded throughout the venue.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Well, don't put on such a bitter face, I know that everyone who comes to the dinner party doesn't want to listen to my tirade. ”

Xiao 339 was standing in the middle of the dance floor, with no microphones or megaphones in front of him, but I could hear it clearly even when I was standing in the corner.

"But, please bear with me for a moment, I'll try to be brief." The members of the first team applauded sporadically, "First of all, I am very grateful and respectful to all the elites of the exploration team who contributed to the last cave expedition and relied on their own strength to return to the sub-chasm, you are the pride of mankind!" ”

This time, only those who had never participated in the return inspection and were excited to attend the dinner of the first team were applauding.

"Of course, there are also those who are about to join the Guicha, and I am proud of you. I would like to announce to you that since the beginning of this large-scale expedition project, we will approve the return of individuals, and everyone can leave the sub-chasm and enter the cave anytime and anywhere, and the relevant information and content that needs to be completed will be sent to you in the chip after the dinner, and you will become heroes in the history of mankind! And now, enjoy! Tonight, this dance floor belongs to you! ”

As soon as Xiao 339 waved his hand, fireworks burst into flames around the garden, and the prelude to the next song sounded.

There was no sign of the girl in the crowd at all, but I didn't have time to pay attention to that episode now, there were more important things waiting for me.

I just turned around half a circle along the outfield, and the first familiar face I found turned out to be R5, who walked straight to a row of dead wood swings, as if he wanted to take a break, but Ning 08 was sitting there. She was dressed up very solemnly today, wearing a dreamlike blue gauze dress, and I looked at her several times before I recognized her. I tried to get through the crowd as fast as I could, but I was knocked over by the people on the dance floor and had to go around behind them.

It looks like their conversation has just begun, and it might be too blunt to interrupt it, so I'm going to eavesdrop on the conversation for a while before I can do it.

"A lot of men just asked you to dance, but you refused."

"Huh? Well. ”

"Why?"

"I have no interest in dancing with them."

"Can it be interpreted that you are not interested in them? As interest between the opposite sex. ”"Yes."

"I see, all human women are like that, right?"

"Not necessarily, some don't mind this too much, I don't like men I am not interested in touching me."

"Then you're a lot like the G17. By the way, do you know the G17? ”

"Well, she and I are on a squad."

"Wow, that's great." The R5's voice is noticeably an octave higher. "Now I can find a reference."

"References?"

"yes, I don't understand what she's thinking, she's changing so fast."

"Women are very fickle."

"I don't think she's warm to me, and although she's kind and polite to me, I can feel the lack of enthusiasm...... She was really enthusiastic about me at first, but ......"

"Did you do anything to make her annoying?"

"Nope. Should...... No. She said she liked me too, but I don't think that's true. ”

"Why doubt it, it's a rare thing that such a beautiful, well-built, and smart girl will like you, she may just not be good at expressing it."

"Indeed...... As a human, she is beautiful. ”

Ning 08 was silent, and my heart hung with it, and just as I wanted to pretend to greet them casually, Ning 08 slapped R5 vigorously.

"You'd love to dance with her, wouldn't you?"

"Huh? Well...... According to human rules, it seems that she should be invited at this time, but I am afraid of being rejected by her, just like you did when you rejected those people just now. ”

"Go ahead, since she says she likes you, she won't refuse. Maybe...... She's waiting for your invitation. ”

"Okay, thank you very much."

R5 stood up and walked in the direction of G17 in high spirits, leaving behind an empty swing and Ning 08 looking at his back in a daze.

I stepped over from behind and sat on the swing of the R5.

"Good evening."

"Ah, when are you, I...... That, I didn't ...... with him" After seeing me, Ning 08 looked very flustered, looking speechless.

"I'm not here to tell you this."

"And what are you going to say? That thing? It's not time yet. ”

"What I'm going to say is...... It's rare to dress up like this today, and it's a pity not to dance a dance. ”

"I'm dressed up for my own pleasure, and besides, I don't have a dance partner."

"What a coincidence, I didn't either."

"You're not so miserable, are you?"

"I mean...... So what...... You're going to be sympathetic to your son who doesn't have a dance partner, I mean...... You're not going to turn down your son's invitation, are you? ”

She froze, stared at me with wide eyes, and only after a while did she burst out laughing.

"Stand up." She said.

I complied, puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

She held out her hand to me.

"I'll start with that, I don't know how to dance."

"It's okay, so am I."
