East River.

Ishii walked alone and silently on the shore.

There's nothing to say so far, either continue or quit.

But neither of these paths is easy.

More importantly, Xie Tong's persistence is beyond Ishii's imagination.

Is he compensating me for the past?

Who wants you to make amends! Caring about yourself or not, you look at yourself, what has become of staying up late, and you still suffer from ......

Suddenly, the scene in front of him interrupted Ishii's thoughts, and Ishii squinted and took a closer look.

In front of him was a corridor made of stone, and it was no longer Ishii's concern what it looked like, but the important thing was that there was a little girl standing on the protruding stone slab outside the stone bridge.

The dusty memory awakens in an instant, and the familiar and unfamiliar plot makes Ishii can't help but speed up his pace.

What does she want to do?

On the stone bridge, the little girl looked at the river at her feet in fear, and the tears on her face had not yet dried.

The wind blew her a little cold.

I'm so tired of being alive, jumping down, is there nothing left?

But what the eldest brother said is quite reasonable, Wangcai is still waiting for me to feed it bones.

So in the end, do you want to jump?

To jump, or not to jump?

"Little friend! What are you doing? Come back! It's dangerous there! ”

The sound in the distance is infinitely amplified.

The little girl was startled, and quickly looked at the bridge, looking in horror at the Ishii who was running over.

Someone's coming.

It's over, it's going to be discovered, it's going to be taken home, and if you don't jump, you won't have a chance!

The little girl gritted her teeth, threw away all the burdens in her heart, and jumped forward.

Plop, small splashes of water splash wantonly.

As if playing in slow motion, Ishii watched in shock as the little girl disappeared into front of her eyes.

Why? Why do you always have to jump every time I run to save you?

Without much time to think, Ishii rushed to the rescue.

Thump.

……

The water of the East River flows eastward all the time, and there is no stopping for people.

In the water, all sounds become bubbles.

Falling into the water, Ishii remembered a very important thing.

Can't swim.

On the surface of the water, two slapping splashes appeared......

Wait, I think I learned to swim, right?

Ishii was startled, remembering that after the incident, he went to learn to swim with Xie Tong.

I'll go, I don't want this kind of conditioning to die.

Ishii froze, took a quick look at the little girl's position, and tried his best to use the breaststroke he was best at.

The other side.

The latent sense of survival keeps the little girl paddling upwards, but this is accelerating her sinking.

The fluctuation of movements and mentality caused the little girl's physical strength to be drastically depleted, and her consciousness began to become blurred.

It's so tired, so painful.

If you don't want to move, you might as well give up.

For a moment, a hint of longing flashed in the little girl's eyes, and there was such a strong desire to live.

However, this is the result of one's own choice.

Suddenly, her right hand was out of her control, and an invisible force dragged her to the surface.

The air has become so beautiful.

The little girl coughed violently and breathed greedily.

Ishii kept the little girl on the water as much as he could.

If you guessed correctly, the reason why this person chose to commit suicide near here is because there is a waterfall ahead.

It's not high, but it's okay to fall to your death.

What to do?

She had been struggling, and it was very difficult to even control her, let alone bring her back to shore in such a short period of time.

She is hopeless.

The water splashed on Ishii's eyeballs.

However, there is hope for me.

Only, as long as I let go of her, I swam back quickly on my own.

I, still saved.

What to do?

Should I let go, should I give up?

…… Xie Tong

No time!

…… It would be nice if you could be as decisive as you.

If you don't make a decision, no one will survive!

…… Perhaps, the one who should be compensated is me.

The waterfall is getting closer and closer, and the water is flowing more and more urgently.

There's nothing to hold onto, and all the tree trunks here are superfluous.

Ishii grabbed the little girl's hand tightly and swam frantically to the shore, trying to find the last chance to survive.

On the smartwatch in Ishii's hand, a red warning appeared.

"Abnormal health state, abnormal health state, secondary emergency alarm, get coordinates ......"

It's too late, no matter how fast the doctor is, he can't be faster than the speed of water.

The waterfall is really right in front of you.

Hope has been lost, and there is no room for regret. Ishii stopped struggling and closed his eyes peacefully, but he never let go.

…… Goodbye, thank you......

Water, gone.

Ishii clearly felt that the next thing should be to fall.

Slippery, slippery, slippery, slippery......

Wait, how does it feel different?

Ishii opened his eyes, the little girl was still around, and the important thing was that they were playing on the ice slide.

"Ah!!!!h Ishii couldn't help but scream, waking up the little girl on the side, the little girl opened her eyes, and then.

"Ah!!!!!!!!!!h A voice louder than Ishii resounded in the sky, and the huge sense of fear caused the girl's eyes to lose focus and fall into a brief coma......

The waterfall looks like a section of a staircase when viewed from a distance, and at this point, the top plane of this tall staircase has an extra spiral made of ice.

The spiral is very long, and the amplitude fluctuates, and it feels like you are playing a roller coaster version of the slide.

Fortunately, the base is ice, otherwise you will definitely be able to rub sparks along the way.

The water on the buttocks kept rolling, and the thrilling journey finally came to the end, and a buffer lot was intimately given.

Ishii, who was already frightened, touched his pants in a daze.

Well...... It's water, yes, it's water.

No, the focus is wrong.

What's the situation?

Returning to his senses, Ishii finally had a chance to look around.

The slide made of pure ice is shattering, and pieces of broken ice are smashing against the surface of the lake below the waterfall, creating a raging wave that melts into the river over time.

Theros on the shore quietly watched the end of everything, turned her head, and said to Ishii with a smile:

"Ishii-san, are you okay?"

Ishii looked at Theroth's face and immediately remembered that he was the most popular classmate in the class.

A-rank abilities, Ice Spirit, Thoros Laicardi.

"Thank you......" Ishii didn't know what to say for a moment. I can't imagine that the strength that seemed to be able to change the world just now was made by this beautiful and amiable girl in front of me.

Theros observed the two of them carefully, then nodded in satisfaction and said:

"It doesn't seem like much of a problem, do you need any help? If not, I'll leave first. ”

Ishii seemed a little shy, and said intermittently: "It's okay, doctor, I'll be here in a moment, that, Laicardi-san, thank you......"

"Just say thank you to Yun Jue, and I won't bother the two. By the way, I was just passing through. Theros smiled mischievously, nodded at him, and left without leaving a trace.

Kindness? What's the situation? What's going on with her? Also, why do you want to tell Lin Yunjue? Does she know Lin Yunjue?

Ha Qiu.

A sneeze interrupted Ishii's train of thought, and Ishii subconsciously looked at the little girl.

Forget it, thank God for being able to survive, why do you care so much, since she doesn't mind, I'm ...... Let's take a look.

Now it's important to be on this side.

The panicked little girl looked around in a daze, leaving nothing but a large puddle of water and a stone well.

Me, survived?

For the rest of her life, she couldn't help crying bitterly, as if she was rejoicing and as if she was confused.

How did I survive?

Ishii couldn't help but feel sad when he saw the little girl crying.

What's the situation today, Xie Tong was crying just now, and now someone is crying again.

"Don't cry, it's fine." Ishii reassured, though he didn't think the little girl would stop because of that.
