In the painting is a devouring darkness, and in the darkness stands a skinny girl, looking at the sky in confusion. The girl had only one back, dressed in baggy and obviously ill-fitting clothes, her hair disheveled behind her, and she stood so dejected and helpless in the bottomless darkness.

Looking at this painting, my heart suddenly fell into a cave of ice. In that moment, I seemed to step into the air, and I was back ten years ago, with no spiritual power, no spiritual vision, only a dark darkness that grew to the end.

"Who will stay?" An Yin took the painting from my trembling hand and looked at it earnestly.

"I don't know." I lay on the table, not wanting to move. For no reason, I felt that the painting was like a prophecy, revealing my distant future and end.

"You look at this painting with spiritual power." An Yin put the creepy painting in front of me again.

Despite my reluctance, I used my spiritual powers to look at the painting. I was immediately swept into a kind of dead darkness, wave after wave, engulfing me. At this point, I was no longer the viewer of the painting, but the girl in the painting, standing in despair in a never-ending darkness.

Coming to my senses, I'm already in a sweaty tuny.

"What do you see?" An Yin looked at me with concern.

I gasped, my voice trembling and disconnected: "I...... It is...... She ......"

"What did you say?"

"This is my future, I am this girl." My voice was so low that I couldn't even tell myself, I didn't dare to say it, as long as I didn't admit it, it was possible to change.

An Yin didn't say anything more and hugged me gently. I suddenly realized that there was no peace in this painting. Without him, it means that he is afraid of ...... My heart instantly froze into the hardest ice cube, but it cracked open with all its might, tearing my heart and lungs. Is this our future? Our end point?

The sun shines through thousands of years of time, sprinkled on us, how I wish this moment could be frozen forever, there is no past, no future, only the present.

With a "squeak", someone opened the door, and a blinding light from the flashlight shot straight at me. An Yin vigilantly protected me behind him, making a state of readiness.

The person who walked in turned out to be He An.

"Why are you here?" He An and I blurted out almost at the same time. An Yin stepped aside, hidden in the darkness.

I was speechless and didn't know how to explain it. He An turned off the flashlight and stood there with his hands hanging down. I saw He An's expression was very gloomy, and there was a feeling of old age.

"Where have you been all these days?" In the end, it was He An who spoke first, his voice was obviously hoarse, "Chen Zhi died suddenly, you disappeared again, I thought ......" He suddenly stopped talking and didn't say anything, with tears in his eyes. I have known He An for six years, and the most I spend on weekdays is laughing and playing, and this is the first time I have seen him cry.

"I'm sorry." It's so pale, but other than that, I don't really know what to say. I owe a lot of people I'm sorry, some people, who have the opportunity to say it to their faces, but some people will never hear those three words with their own ears.

He clenched his fists hard, trying to hold back the tears, as if with all his strength, and he said to me, "You know what...... I like Chen Zhi and I've always liked her...... It's just that I haven't dared to say it, and now, I don't have a chance to say it anymore...... I ......"

"You say...... Can Chen Zhi hear it? Will she come back when she hears it? He An suddenly grabbed my hand and asked me like crazy. My heart hurts. I saw with my own eyes that Chen Zhi turned into a little bit of starlight that could not be grasped, and she completely disappeared and could never come back.

"She must have heard it, she might be laughing in the sky right now." I said with difficulty. Maybe she could really hear it, watching it all in the quiet time and space that belonged to her.

He An let go of his hand, grinned, and said, "You can see her too, right?" I said she wasn't gone, she was still there, and sometimes she was still talking to me. No one else believes me, they all say I'm crazy, you see I'm not crazy, you see it and hear it, hehe. ”

"He An!" I reached for him.

"Shhhh You listen! Chen Zhi is talking to us again. He An raised his head and looked at somewhere in the dark, with a faint but very happy smile on his face, as if he was listening to something carefully. He nodded slightly, and raised his arms as if to hug someone.

"He An, I beg you, don't ...... like this" I couldn't stop tears pouring out, desperately trying to pull him back from that imaginary world.

"Eise, what are you doing? Is Chen Zhi talking to you? She told you to go back to bed early, otherwise you will be sleepy and scolded by Lao Mi tomorrow," he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go back and rest, you can rest early, goodbye." ”

I stood there weakly, looking at He An's happy face, but I felt unbearable, let him come back and bear this powerless pain with me? It's better to leave him in that world, only him and Chen Zhi's world. However, is it necessary to immerse him in that empty world for the rest of his life? His life has just begun, is it about to end? I don't know, I don't know what to do.

"Ann Yin." I whispered, watching He An's figure staggering towards the door.

An Yin gently fell to my side and said, "I understand, I will send him home safely." What about you? ”

"I want to be here alone for a while."

An Yin hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

I sat alone in my seat, the painting was still on my desk, and my eyes flashed with the difficult way Chen Zhi spoke when he disappeared, the sword in Qi Yan's hand, Xia Xiaoya's chains, the fire that burned everything, my aunt's hideous expression, Qiu Mu Hibiscus withering under all the swords, and He An, who was crazy...... And the silent Ann.

All the images intertwined, writhed, and intertwined in my mind...... Close your eyes, cover your ears, and you can still see and hear...... You can't hide, you can't escape.

Why...... Why is this the way things are...... Why did you do this to me, what the hell did I do wrong......

"I'll give you my body." I took out the hairpin and said.

"He An broke you down? If I knew you were so vulnerable, why should I bother to manage that illusion. I won't be polite to you, if you give me your body, I will accept it. Akiki replied.

Give? I asked myself.

At this time, a hand gently hugged me.

"It's okay, everything will pass." It's Ann Yin.

"Why......" I asked, lying in his arms.

He just hugged me tighter: "I'm sorry. ”

There are no answers, none of this is answered. No one can give an answer, too many things have no answers. Life is far more complicated than doing problems, because sometimes you spend your whole life trying to find an answer that can fool you.

Akiki Hibiscus stopped talking and was quietly in that hairpin.
