The sky was dyed red, the clouds were no longer visible, and the flavor tract had deteriorated, and it was full of the smell of decay and dryness.

The earth is dead, and only the remnants of the warmth are twitching, and each twitch and trembling brings a myriad of new despairs.

The shrine that used to be quietly watched in the depths of these mountains has now become a place of broken bricks and tiles.

But none of this has anything to do with me, I quietly wait for her return in this small world.

That person, she promised me that she would definitely come back, and I believed in her words and waited in this little world.

Then she returned, but the red and white butterflies had now turned completely red, and the smell of her body had changed.

The faint fragrance of tea in the past has been covered by another smell, her face is so white, her steps are so staggering, and even her heart is different from before.

Because I'm a Mao Yu, I can feel her mood...... It's a pity, it's unwilling, it's nostalgic, it's sad.

"Knock knock...... Run. Gensokyo is about to be destroyed. So run. ”

She didn't seem to be able to even stumble forward, the man fell weakly in front of me, but still tried to reach out and try to touch the small world where I lived, but a lot of red liquid was oozing from her, with the last of her physical strength to dye the stone steps red, and I suddenly knew that this person was going to leave me forever.

No...... I hate that...... I don't want you to go.

At that time, I couldn't speak, so I could only move forward, trying to use my body to stop her from leaving, but the invisible barrier stopped me, and I now realize that this little world that gave me peace of mind was so hateful.

It ruthlessly turned all my efforts into meaningless collisions.

Knock~Knock~Knock~...... Knock~Knock~Knock~...... Knock~Knock~Knock......

"Silly Maoyu...... Why are you so stupid...... Obviously, as long as you go up, you can leave. ”

Seeing me trying to get close to her, the man smiled weakly, and her fingertips finally touched the invisible barrier, and I stopped colliding and rubbed my body against her fingertips as usual.

"Let's go. Hurry up and escape...... Don't stay in the bottle. I'll give you freedom, so hurry up and escape. ”

She said this, and then easily pushed the world I lived in to the ground, why would she leave me with such a strong force?

I couldn't understand it, and when the invisible barrier shattered, I actually touched her hand for the first time, it was warm but it was gradually losing its temperature, and it was as cold as the invisible barrier.

It's right in front of you, but why is there such a feeling of imminent separation?

I couldn't understand it, so I tried to figure out what was going to take away her temperature, and I quickly found it.

Is it a red, unfamiliar liquid coming out of her? If that can stop that, then she'll be able to come back to me, right? It must be like this! Right?

But why can't I stop this red liquid from coming out?

Obviously, he has used his body to block it, and the white fluff has been dyed red, and his body is already full of that unfamiliar smell, but why can't he stop it! Why? Why? Why can't it be blocked!

"Wow!"

Little Mao Yu sat up from the bed with a scream, trembling his hands, and then scanned the surrounding scenery with frightened eyes, and saw sandstone walls, a few boxes, and a few workbenches.

Dongdong looked at the moon hanging high outside the window, and she suddenly realized that it seemed that it was still time for everyone to go to bed, and she just woke up early, and it was still too early.

Just now she seemed to be in another world, and that novel feeling made Xiao Maoyu a little overwhelmed, she got up and got out of bed, and tiptoed out of the house to prevent herself from disturbing Youhe, who slept in the same room with her.

She wanted to go to the almighty Mr. Kamijo and tell him what had happened to her, and ask him to explain to her why it had happened again, and suddenly she was in a very real world and experienced a heart-wrenching situation that made Knock dazed and frightened.

When it is time to sleep at night, the special members of the guild are responsible for removing the torches for indoor lighting to create a comfortable sleeping environment for everyone to rest.

It is said that there is a subspecies of Maoyu called 'Meow Yu' that has the ability to see at night like a feline, but Dong Dong does not have this ability, so she quickly turns confused in the black rumbling room.

"Mr. Uejo once told me that when I get lost, I can rely on the sun to tell the direction, so where is the sun?"

Xiao Maoyu stared at the square moon outside and tilted her head blankly, she found that this method didn't seem to work.

"Mr. Uejo once said that if you can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, when you get lost, you must first distinguish between left and right...... The left hand is the left and the right hand is the right side. ”

So, Dong Dong raised her hands, looked and looked, and she suddenly found a very important problem.

"Ahh......h Which hand is the left hand? Which hand is right-handed? Hold chopsticks in your left hand and a bowl in your right hand...... I know the bowl, but what are chopsticks? ”

Knock Dong found out again,It seems that Mr. Uejo taught her another action that can't be used.,Whether it's 'MineCraftOL' or the old version of 'MineCraft' The designer seems to be quite sloppy about the setting of the tableware.,Now the most mainstream tools for players to eat are nothing more than hands and knives.,Some of them will wear gloves...... Although it is only a mental effect.

She hadn't seen chopsticks before, so using chopsticks and bowls to distinguish between left and right hands didn't work for her.

"Gollum...... Mr. Kamijo told me that if you get lost somewhere, you can walk close to the wall, and although it will take a long time, you will be able to find an exit. ”

As a miner who has been active underground for a long time, when Ma's judgment of the direction is undoubtedly much better than that of other professional players, when Ma often tells Dongdong this kind of knowledge in his free time, and now Dongdong has finally found a useful one.

Holding on to the wall, she made her way to the top of the stairs, recalling in her head where she was.

"Mr. Kamijo seems to be sleeping in a happy house, I need to go down the stairs and go through the connecting passage on the second floor, and then ......"

"What are you doing hanging around here in the middle of the night? Why not go to bed? ”

A sudden shout almost frightened Dongdong's hair exploded, and she hurriedly turned around to find a large man behind her, because of the dim light, she didn't see the other person's face.

But even if he couldn't see his face clearly, Dong Dong was not lightly frightened by the other party's oppressive figure, and the frightened little Mao Yu decisively turned around and wanted to escape, but he rolled down the stairs with one foot in the air.

It seems that she always forgets what is behind her when she escapes, and Dong Dong interprets the meaning of panic.

"It hurts~It hurts~It hurts~It hurts~"

Knock Knock, who fell not lightly, was half-lying on the ground and moaning with teary eyes, the current 'MineCraftOL' can make players lose blood and feel pain, which is a very bad situation for Xiao Maoyu...... But it's not bad to give her a long memory.

“…… What are you messing around? Why don't you go to bed at this time? Why did you run away when you saw me? ”

At this time, the big burly man walked down the stairs and looked condescendingly at Xiao Maoyu lying on the ground.

Then in the faint moonlight, Dong Dong looked at the other party's face, so she calmed down, and replied while rubbing her broken arm.

"I want to go to Mr. Uejo...... I didn't see it clearly just now that it was Uncle Makarov, and I thought it was a big guy and a villain, so I ran. ”

"Looking for a kid? What are you looking for him? That kid has been busy digging ore, so he's very tired, and what happened today has made a lot of people even more tired, and it's best not to disturb others when there's nothing to do. ”

Makarov is like an aunt in the dormitory, educating Xiao Dongdong, who does not sleep honestly, and his tone is stern but full of concern.

"That...... I have something I would like to ask Mr. Uejo. ”

Knock shrugged his head and explained to Makarov in a very low voice.

"I ...... I just went to a very strange place while I was sleeping, and what happened in that place made me very uncomfortable, it didn't feel like sleeping at all. So I'd like to ask Mr. Kamijo why I went to that kind of place. ”

"Went to a very strange place? While sleeping? All right...... I know what you're asking. ”

After getting along for a while, Makarov had a certain understanding of Dongdong's situation, and he knew that this child lacked a lot of necessary common sense, so it was difficult to communicate with people, so he quickly guessed Maoyu's situation.

"Poor little thing, can't you sleep because you have nightmares? In that case, come with me to the Forge Hall and sit down. ”

So, Makarov led Dongdong to the furnace hall, he planted a lighting torch in one of the pillars to dispel some of the gloom of the hall, Makarov found a random place to sit down, and Dongdong sat down obediently opposite him.

"Uncle Makarov, you say you know what I want to ask? That one...... Do you know what I'm going to do in that world? ”

"Silly girl, everything you see is just a dream, it's fake."

Dongdong's silly appearance is very likable, and people like Makarov would think she is cute.

"No...... I think it's true, I don't know what happened, but what I saw was definitely true. ”

After hearing the uncle's answer, Dong Dong immediately began to refute, she didn't know what the dream was about, but instinct told her that it was all true, and it was a very important experience for her, although this idea was unfounded, but Dong Dong was very sure.

"Alright! All right! What a brave boy. Even nightmares will be taken seriously, and it's not the same as cowardly adults. ”

Makarov admired Dongdong's little courage, and he smiled and took a sip of a bottle of wine from the library.

"After many people have nightmares, they will try very hard to forget, this kind of self-deception and cowardice is really unpleasant."

"Uncle Makarov...... What is a dream? What's a nightmare? Why does everyone want to forget? ”

Dongdong is a child who loves to think, and she always wants to figure out what she doesn't understand (it's not at all the same as a certain little Mao Yu who doesn't think about it if she doesn't understand, in fact, Mao Yu is also divided into stupid and even more stupid stupid).

"Huh? I'm not a philosopher, so I don't study this kind of thing at all, but in my opinion, dreams are a kind of memory, right? ”

After pouring another mouthful of tasteless cider, Makarov smacked his lips in displeasure, and his eyes deepened.

"There is a saying in the hometown of that ice hunting boy, 'I think about the day, and I dream at night', you can understand it this way...... A dream is a situation in which you relive in your mind the things you have thought about and the scenes you have experienced. Generally, only very impressive memories turn into dreams, and the reason why you have nightmares is because of what happened today, right? ”

"That...... I don't know, it's because I feel so blocked, I don't want to sleep, I'm afraid to go through it again. ”

"I know this feeling very well, the feeling of being awakened by a nightmare...... It's the same feeling as quitting vodka for a year, it's terrible. ”

"Uncle Makarov...... Got a nightmare too? Sad, right? ”

Dongdong stared at the big uncle in front of him and asked very worriedly.

"Hah...... Actually, I'm used to it. I just dreamed of the old rival who sent me to hell again. ”

Makarov raised his head and poured the remaining half of the bottle of cider into his stomach, then let out a long sigh.

"That guy was asking me, 'Why is he hypocritically messing with a bunch of kids who don't know anything, when he's a thug, heinous terrorist?' And then I'm going to shoot the guy right in the head, like this...... Bang! ”

As he spoke, Makarov reached out and made the shape of a pistol and aimed it at Dongdong's head, causing the little guy to shrink his neck in fright.

"Hahaha~ I'm sorry...... Scares you. Knock knock"

"Gollum~"

Although Makarov apologized, Dongdong still let out a very dissatisfied cry.

"Knock knock, how old are you now?"

"Huh? How big? ”

Xiao Maoyu thought about it carefully, and then opened his arms and gestured at Makarov.

"I'm so big now~~\(≧▽≦)/~"

"Poof! cough cough cough ...... I'm not asking you how big that is! ”

The vicissitudes of life gave Dongdong's comprehension a bit.

"I'm asking you...... How old you are. ”

"Age? How big is it? ”

Xiao Dongdong, who met the new term, shook his head and thought about it, and finally shook his head blankly.

"I haven't seen the age, so I don't know how old it is."

“……”

In the face of such a stupid child, Makarov was completely out of line.

"That...... Thank you, Uncle Makarov, for clearing up my doubts, I'm going to sleep now! Good night~~"

"Hmm...... Good night. ”

Feeling much better, Dongdong left the Crucible Hall after a polite goodbye, and now Makarov was the only one in the empty hall.

A hideous smile suddenly appeared on the face of the evil party, and he took out a bottle of cider from the stock again, and held it high, as if he was toasting to someone.

"Captain Price...... You can't blame me! Even if I am an unforgivable person who has killed tens of thousands of people, that doesn't mean that I will always turn a blind eye to a group of children in danger! I swear in my name as a former member of Team Alpha that I will never let the events of Beslan repeat themselves in this world, and in the end, let's have a toast in Hell! Captain Price! And my friends...... Yuri. ”
