"I ...... Are you dead...... "As soon as his eyes opened and closed, his vision gradually became clearer, and the first thing that caught his eye was a cloudy sky, and the fine rain hit Liu Ye's face, and it was cold and cold, and his eyebrows no longer hurt, but his head was still groggy, and it was not as heavy as his own.

The touch of his fingertips was rough and slightly soft, and the hair on the back of his head was wet, and Liu Ye found himself lying on the asphalt road that was common in the last century, with unfamiliar street scenes on both sides, and the lights were dimly lit, dotted sporadically on the low-rise buildings. Next to it was a rudimentary station, with a synthetic glass roof ticking in the rain, protecting the benches beneath with only two pieces of wood.

It's so quiet, only the sound of rain in the air. Liu Ye looked at the gray sky with a confused look, and his memory suddenly became so distant, as if covered with a thin veil.

Where is this, why am I here, what am I going to do?

I...... Who am I?

I can't think of it, it's clear that the answer is right in front of me, but I can't think of anything.

Suddenly, a black umbrella shielded him from the rain.

Liu Ye turned his head slowly, the man's long snow-white hair was like a waterfall, his hand as warm as white jade gently held the handle of the umbrella, with a gentle smile between his eyebrows and eyes, and his sea-blue eyes flashed like jewels.

I don't know if it's a dazzling relationship, he seems to be wrapped in a layer of soft white light.

The man smiled slightly, and the scenery in front of Liu Ye's eyes was distorted like a kaleidoscope in an instant, and then returned to its original state in an instant. He sat on the bench at the station with the mysterious man.

"Here it is...... Where is it?" As soon as he sat up, Liu Ye's head began to hurt again, he held his forehead and asked this sentence intermittently.

"This is the Promised Land. The man replied, "The closest place to heaven." ”

"The Promised Land ......" has a vague impression of the word Liu Ye, it seems to be a place mentioned in the Old Testament, but isn't that a legend?

However, since magic is real, it doesn't seem hard to believe that some myths and legends are true.

"You look a little confused. The man looked up at the gloomy sky, and the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier? Shouldn't the living come here? But you're here, weird? It doesn't make sense. ”

"Here...... How could it be like this?" Liu Ye remembered? The Promised Land is the land of milk and honey recorded in the Old Testament, but this is clearly a neighborhood in the twenties of the last century? It's completely different from the legend.

"That's just in your eyes. The man said, "The Promised Land, the Pure Land, the Blessed Land?" Can the land be described in any words? It can be anything. Only by not attaching to the illusion in our hearts can we see through the void and see the only truth. ”

"The only ...... Real ......" Liu Ye lowered his head, the man's words seemed to have a deep meaning? But for a while, I couldn't understand it.

"Isn't it necessarily a joy to see the truth? The truth is often brutal. The man seemed to be saying to himself, "It takes more courage to face the truth than to weave a beautiful lie." ”

"You...... Who is it?" Liu Ye looked at the man's sculptural face, "I seem to be ...... Where have I seen you?"

"I've seen you, but you've never seen me. The man shook his head slightly? " We haven't met yet. ”

Liu Ye frowned, whether it was his face or voice? There is an indescribable familiarity.

"But we do stay together. The man turned his head to look at him, his eyebrows crooked? A faint smile, "In the past? Right now? And the future. ”

"Always walking together? But haven't met yet?" Liu Ye felt that what this person said always had a feeling of being in a fog.

"For you, the encounter between you and me has not yet come. The man raised his right hand, and the rain in the sky reversed instantly, and for a while the clouds and fog dispersed, and the sun shone in front of the station, illuminating the broken gold on the ground.

"The rain has stopped, it's time to go. The umbrella turned into a point of light and dispersed, and he got up and walked out into the street, walking in the direction of the sun, silently.

"Go ......" Liu Ye paused, his eyes widened as he watched a cloud of red and green light slowly emerge from his chest, and stopped in front of the man lightly.

"It's you. The man opened his right hand, and the light fell on his palm, which was a twig-like wand, with several red and black stripes wrapped around its pale green wand, "Old friend, long time no see." ”

The wand flicked up and down slightly, as if nodding.

"You're in a little trouble. The man's palm glowed like a ripple, and the red and black streaks on the wand faded like a mimosa on fire, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, "Alright, go back to him." ”

The wand turned into a ball of light and fell into Liu Ye's hand, and he couldn't help but shake it hard as if it was confirming its existence with a long-lost smooth and unreal touch.

"It's ...... Dead wood staff?" The dusty memories gradually revealed, and Liu Ye slowly recalled something, "Who are you?"

"You already have the answer in mind, don't you?" the man turned his back to him, staring up at the unrealistically large sunset like a millstone, "in that case, why bother. ”

"The greatest magician of all time, known as the god of magic by later generations, who quelled the Fifth Magic War with the power of one man," Liu Ye said, "James J. Laughen." ”

"It's been a long time since anyone called me that. The man smiled back, bathed in the glorious sunset, "I am Floweren, an ordinary magician who has stayed in the Promised Land for a long time. ”

Shi Lan carried Liu Ye on her back and shuttled through an abandoned building, the blood dripping from the boy's eye sockets dripping on the girl's shoulder, wet and sticky to the clothes and skin.

"Liu Ye! Liu Ye, wake up!" never got a response, and the girl was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Woo-don't, don't......"

"Is it really you?" Liu Ye walked quickly to Floweren, "Are you still alive?"

"Looks like you've remembered it all, and it's not easy. Floweren's voice was as mellow as a wine that had been treasured for many years, "It's a very impolite question, but from the perspective of ordinary people, I'm probably not alive." ”

"Did you write it to me?" Liu Ye's eyelids drooped slightly, and his eyes flashed.

"The Q&A here is pointless. "You don't belong here, and when you leave, all memories will be gone." ”

"Return to nothingness......" Liu Ye looked up at the sky, "Why is this happening?"

"Because everything here is nothing but a projection, time is meaningless here. Clauren replied, "Everything that happened in the Promised Land did happen, but it didn't happen in our world." ”

"Even if I don't remember anything after leaving, I want to know the answer. Liu Ye pondered for a while and said firmly.

"Even if you know that there is no point in doing this, you will move forward without hesitation, are you such a person......" Floweron nodded, "In that case, you can ask three questions." ”

The scenery suddenly changed, the asphalt road and the streetscape turned pure white, and there was an extra chair behind each of them.

"First question. Flower's sea-blue eyes were as deep as an ancient well, "What do you want to ask?"

"Did you write the letter from the man in the mask with a crying face?" his legs unconsciously curled, and Liu Ye sat on the chair, "Also, that person, the person who sent the letter, is it Baili Ming?"

"These are two questions. Laughon replied, "First, I wrote the letter. Second, the person who sent the letter was indeed Baili Ming. One last chance, what would you like to ask?"

"......" Liu Ye fell into deep thought.

I didn't expect to use up two opportunities at once, and the remaining one must be cherished.

"I ...... No, what does the future look like?" Liu Ye asked, "You can predict the future, right?"

"You can only choose one question, and, what does the future hold, this question is too broad for me to answer. "Foreknowledge must be limited to a specific thing or event, so please think about it before you ask questions." ”

"Specific event ......" Liu Ye pondered for a while, "Me and Watson, in the end, who won?"

"That's an excellent question," Floweren smiled slightly, "Unfortunately, there is no answer." ”

"No answer?" Liu Ye was stunned for a moment.

"It's time for you to go. Floweron closed his eyes, his long snow-white hair was windless, "You don't belong here." ”

Like a Rubik's cube, the ground turned into long squares and rotated, and Liu Ye's body fell uncontrollably into the dark crack.

"Wait, wait!" shouted in vain, and Flower's figure gradually turned into a small dot in Liu Ye's sight.

"All unknown answers will be revealed at the moment you and I meet, continue your journey, one day, you can find your own, the only truth. Floweren's voice sounded in Liu Ye's heart, "When you are confused, remember to look up at the stars, the stars will guide your path, and I am waiting for your arrival on the day of destiny." ”

The light is gone, replaced by endless darkness.

Liu Ye's eyes gradually blurred, and the memories in his mind were being rapidly withdrawn by a mysterious and majestic force, and he couldn't remember the experience here.

"Liu Ye! Liu Ye! Woo woo - wake up...... Wake up......" In the underground facilities of a power plant, Shilan knelt by the wall, tearfully holding the shoulders of the unconscious teenager, her voice crying.

"Lynn" crushed his right shoulder blade, leaving five deep blood holes. The emerald green magic energy could stop the blood on his shoulder, but it couldn't stop the blood beads oozing from his seven orifices, and Liu Ye's snort was irretrievably getting weaker and weaker.

I don't know when this person who suddenly broke into her life became important.

Every time she woke up from an injury, the boy was always back to life. In just half a year, he has experienced countless life and death crises, but he can always turn danger into relief. This gave Shilan the illusion that he would never really fall,

She was so unable to accept his departure, just as she was so unable to accept the departure of her parents when she was young.

At that time, she never thought that a magician like her parents would never go back one day.

She has never shown her sadness to others, her bright smile is her protective color, and her strong and optimistic personality is her disguise. Shi Lan was afraid of exposing her vulnerability, she knew that she could no longer accept parting, Tang Yin, Ouyang Gu, Fourier, Zeng Chen, every time they stepped out of the door of Century Dawn, she was afraid that someone would not be able to return.

Now there's one more name on the list.

"Don't ...... Don't ......" Shi Lan muttered helplessly, she suddenly regretted why she pestered Sister Tang Yin to learn what attack magic, she regretted why she didn't learn more healing techniques.

Liu Ye's hands gradually became cold, and his face was even more bloodless.

"Woo, woo......" Shilan clenched her hands into fists and slammed her head on the ground with her head, bursting into tears.

"Shilan ......" A huge force was injected into his heart, Liu Ye's mind was clear for a moment, and his palms gradually became warmer, and he gently opened his mouth to call her name, his voice was slightly hoarse.

"Liu Ye! Hearing his voice, Shi Lan straightened up suddenly, sniffed hard, and laughed out loud, but there were still two bright tears on her face.

"Haha......" Seeing her like this, Liu Ye couldn't help laughing, he habitually wanted to raise his right hand to touch Shilan's head, and after trying for a while to no avail, he remembered the fact that his shoulder blade was broken.

"You're finally awake!" Shi Lan hugged Liu Ye, "I thought it was ...... I thought it was ...... I thought you'd never wake up again......"

"Hiss-" Liu Ye gritted his teeth and gasped, his eyes widening like copper bells.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Shi Lan quickly let go of him, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and nodded her head like a chick pecking rice.

However, this only made Liu Ye's injured shoulder hit the wall again, and the pain made him roll his eyes more than a dozen times in a row.

"It's okay, didn't I wake up?" pursing his lips, Liu Ye said with a smile, "By the way, how did you know that I was there?

"I ...... I don't know ......," Shilan shook her head, "I seem to have had a long, long dream, but when I woke up, I didn't remember anything. As soon as I woke up and found that you were not there, I immediately called Zeng Chen, and it was he who told me that you went to Kangning Hospital. ”

"A long, long dream...... Liu Ye squeezed his eyes hard, he seemed to have had a long, long dream just now, and he couldn't remember anything.

"Hey, why are you keeping me asleep?" Seeing that he seemed to be fine, Shilan shook her hair and asked angrily, "If I hadn't woken up early, you wouldn't have died, you know?"

"Hehehe......" Liu Ye tilted left and right with a pair of eyes, "Isn't this afraid that you will be in danger......"

"Hmph. Shi Lan squinted her eyes and pouted, tilting her head slightly and glaring at him with contempt, "If it's like this next time, I won't come to save you." ”

"......" the corners of Liu Ye's eyes jumped, "This kind of thing should not have a good ...... next time"
