September 22, seven o'clock in the morning

"I've sent them back, but what should I do next," he said distressedly, "Kyosuke, they can't go back, can they only stay by Yuri's side all the time?" ”

"No," he didn't feel bored, but because he really couldn't let go of their situation, after all, both sides needed help equally

(Let's find a time to sneak back,) he thought

"So that's it, Song, will you help me?"

"Okay, I'll help you"

"Thank you very much! Then the first goal is Yuyi! ”

"What goal?" He leaned forward and asked

"Ahhh!!!hhh Yin Wu hurriedly retreated in fright

"The injury is healed?" Seeing this, he turned to Lihua and asked

"Hmm" Lihua nodded "Thank you for your concern"

"Oh," he nodded

(Strange, why does it feel like Lihua has changed?) ）

"It's Chong, you almost didn't scare me to death" Otomu breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was"

"Isn't it the same for everyone," he said, "what are you secretly doing to be ugly?" ”

"Chong, I'll ask you a question first," Yin Wuzai said seriously after taking a deep breath

"Okay, say," he nodded, "what do you want me to do?" ”

"Do you want to get out of here together?" Yin Wuyan said, and Lihua on the side also raised his head slightly

"Of course," he said without hesitation, "I would love to see you all get out of here together."

"Then I have a plan, do you want to participate?"

"If it's reliable," he shrugged

"Don't worry, it's absolutely reliable" Yin Wu said with a smile, "Come, the plan is like this"

Five minutes later

"Well, it's really reliable," he nodded, "It's unimaginable, there are times when you don't have a good brain."

"It's always in operation, okay?" Otomu complained

"I don't think you have a warranty, go back to the factory and rebuild," he teased, though there was no smile on his face

"Do you want to participate?" Otonai asked

"Yes, as long as I can do something," he said indifferently, "You can come to me if you have anything"

"Do you have time now?" Otoni asked

"What do you want to do to Yui-san," he was a little skeptical, "although she said that she would fulfill her wish, but what if her wish was to get married or have a child?" ”

"Does a high school student have such thoughts?" Yin Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't tease me"

"Child, you're still too sweet," he said earnestly, "It's easy for a girl in the first year of high school to deceive."

"Don't say I'm as good as a trafficker who abducts and sells girls!" Otomo complained loudly

"Forget it, anyway, I don't understand the girl's thoughts, or you can ask Lihua Song" He pointed to Lihua Song

"I don't know," Lihua shook his head

"It seems that I can only ask a little bit," Otomu sighed, "It must be very troublesome."

"Well, there's a long way to go," he encouraged

"Thank you for your cheers, this thing will be returned to you" Otomi suddenly remembered something, and after a while of fumbling, he pulled out the glass shard in his arms

"Ah," he realized, "I almost forgot, I divided the pieces equally among you."

"I just remember it now, this thing is so awesome, and you told us to give it back to you last night, oh, the rest is here" Otonai took out a small bag from his arms again, "Sometimes I really don't understand what you want to do"

"Did I tell you to give it back to me?" He was surprised, "I didn't come back at all last night."

"Really?" Yin Wu said suspiciously, "But the voice is indeed yours, it's just colder than usual, we thought you were angry."

"That may be that I forgot" he held out his hand "grateful"

"No need" Yin Wu handed the things to him, "Then I'll go to set up an ambush first, you go and rest first"

"Hmm" he nodded, then turned to leave

"Otono, isn't last night's sound familiar?"

"Don't ask, that's his business, we can't manage it for the time being, but it's only temporary, we have to help him sooner or later"

"Hmm"

(Is that him?) If it really is him, then why did he do it? Is it a reminder that the time has come? He clutched the fragment in his hand (what should I do now)

"You're not there when I need you, and you're always in my ear when I don't need you," he sighed, "Trick me"

(Go to the Underground Labyrinth)

"Huh? You're here! ”

(Go to the Underground Labyrinth)

"Can last time"

(Go alone, I have something to tell you)

"Okay"

(Then I'll wait for you)

"The underground labyrinth, I didn't expect to be busy again just after I came back," he sighed, "Forget it, I'll go again sooner or later anyway."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― dividing line of memory

"Am I opening it in the wrong way" When he returned to the underground labyrinth according to the route he had taken yesterday, he no longer saw heavy iron walls, but shining mirrors

(Keep walking forward, picking up what you have in your hand) "his" voice came to my head again

"I try my best" He chose to trust "him" unconditionally, because he always felt that even if everyone in the world was deceiving him, that voice would never deceive him, this is the so-called intuition, right?

A moment later

"It's the end," he said, looking at the long mirror in front of him, which was out of place with a sunken jack in the middle

"It's an old repertoire that puts pieces together, boring" he said helplessly, "Forget it, just play a jigsaw puzzle"

"But there's only twelve here, and there's thirteen left, wait, thirteen? I remember I only gave Kyosuke ten dollars, where did the remaining three go? He was suddenly surprised: "Isn't this a mess?" ”

"You don't have to put it together, I just told you to put it up" A voice suddenly came from behind him

"Who? Is that you? He turned his head to look, but there were mirrors all around, and he could see people somewhere

"It's me, it's not me" The voice is getting closer and closer "Don't look around, I'm not here now"

"Didn't you say you had something to say to me?" He was surprised

"I'm talking to you right now" The voice suddenly turned cold "Time is not much, I just need you to remember what I said below"

"It's serious," he said sternly

"The world is about to fall apart, this is what I found out shortly after you left in the morning"

"What?" He was a little surprised: "What collapse?" ”

"Shut up and listen honestly!" Ah, murdered

"For months, I've been thinking that these two spaces are connected, as if a dimension has been cut into two pieces."

"But I didn't understand until now that this is not the case"

"I don't mean that," he couldn't help but interject

"AB two buildings, these two spaces"

"Two Men in Charge"

“？！” His eyes widened, "That is, there are two behind the scenes?" ”

"No, there is only one, the other is just being used by it" The voice denied his statement, "Besides, the dominance of this world is still in the hands of one person, and the master of this underground labyrinth, that is, Shi Fengxian, he is just an agent"

"That is to say"

"That's right, there is only one real culprit, and that is the woman who gave these pieces to you" I don't know if it's his delusion, he always feels that there is more helplessness in the other party's voice

"What does it mean to be broken here," he asked hurriedly

"The world has gradually escaped the control of women, Shi Fengxian seems to be tired of her management, so he plans to replace it, or rather, refuse her orders" The voice suddenly said indifferently, "Of course, that's just looking for death"

"So the woman wanted"

"It's easy, read the file, and start over"

"Have you done it all over again, wait! That's it! ”

"I know what you want to do, you want to go back to the beginning, and then save the woman named Asami Iwasawa, indeed, that's possible" The voice agreed "But if the one who went to save her was you, then the chance of her being rescued, or rather surviving, was zero"

"What do you mean?! Why can't I! He asked hurriedly

"Because you're not in the range of the read"

"What" he froze

"You don't belong here, understand? You're a discordant, you've not been a part of this here since the beginning" The voice grew colder and colder: "You're a supernumerary"

"Then I'll do it"

"You're just going to stay, aren't you? Give up saving one person, and choose the path that can save everyone" Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps around the lonely "Then put together the pieces in the bag and try"

He nodded, and then pieced the pieces together onto the giant mirror, moving quickly, but his hands shaking many times, he was nervous, but he didn't know what he was nervous about

The last piece of "Click" is placed

"There was no sound, nothing happened

“？” Surprised, he tried to reach out and reload, apparently thinking he had made a mistake

"No need to reload, it's enough" A voice came from the mirror in front of him, and a man wearing a mask appeared on the mirror at some point

“？！！” He hurriedly took a step back

"Why be nervous, I just met you," he said

"I wasn't nervous, I just panicked a little," he defended himself. But his eyes kept drifting away, he didn't dare to look at "him", and he didn't know why

"You don't have to tell a lie in front of me" "He" said "Let's get down to business"

"I want you to get out of here right now, over the wall, and run as far away as possible."

"Why?" he immediately retorted, "why?" ”

"There is no why, and there is no reason, you must leave, or you will disappear, disappear into this imaginary fantasy world," he said coldly

"Impossible," he said coldly, "as long as you can stop the backtracking"

"You can't stop it, and no one can stop it for you, that's the rule of this world," he continued, his face under the mask always cold

"I don't care about the rules! Tell me why I have to believe you! As soon as he said this, he regretted it a little, after all, he really trusted "him".

"Because I'm you," he began

"What?!" He tilted his head and looked directly at him, "You say, 'Are you me?' ”

"You don't understand it yet, but you just need to remember that I'm the only one who can be on the same side as you all the time" He sighed softly "That's right, I'm the only one who can help you, everyone is on the other side of you now, only I'm by your side"

"If you really can't rest assured, then you can go" Before he could speak, "he waved his hand, and twelve pieces of glass flew all over the sky" "Take these things and go, and when you really want to make a decision, you can come back with them, of course, you should already know the truth by then"

"The truth means"

"Your relationship with me, your relationship with them, and your relationship with the world" The figure of "he" has become more and more blurred

"There are still ten days left to take advantage of it, this is one of the few trusts I have"

"Remember, you don't belong here, you don't need to remember, you don't need dependence, I just need to listen to mine, listen to yourself"

"I'm here waiting for you, waiting for you to understand that the moment will come again," and the figure of "he" had completely dissipated

"Understand, one qiē again," he recalled, "what does the last sentence of "his" really mean? ”

"I don't understand."

postscript

"What? Just let him go? That's a great opportunity."

"What if you force fusion? He will definitely resist in the future, all for the sake of future plans."

"Really? Well~ But that's not what you think in your heart~"

"Don't look inside me!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry~ Then you just keep doing good work~ I'm waiting for you~ But what~ This mirror of yours will eventually be broken in front of you"

“”

"He reflects the past you, the child who doesn't understand the world, but you don't need this mirror, just as you don't need to remember the past"

"I seem to understand your calculations."

"Really? Then keep it in your heart~"

"Then goodbye, I hope there is no and will not see each other again"

"Got it"

"Then let's break that mirror quickly~ Hehe, I'm looking forward to it~"

"Farewell~"
