Volume III, Chapter 15: The Realm of the Gods of the Returnees of the Era

10-2 [World B: Perspective of the Dawn Dynasty. 】

I've been having dreams like this lately.

I'm the only one left in the world.

I'm always in a world where no one is around—

Nothing, not knowing how to survive, not knowing what the future is, constantly wandering and spending night after night in a world where no one is.

In the middle of the night, I woke up with a nightmare, and I was sweating all over my body.

"Little Lemon ——?"

I got up and opened Xi Ning's room.

Xiao Ning was injured because of her thoughts, and she has been recuperating at home for the past few days.

However, I didn't see her.

“?!”

I was frightened and shouted in a panic:

"Little Lemon——? Where are you? ”

But there was no response, outside the window was a familiar street, and the street lights were still the same, intermittently effective, and from time to time they made noise with poor contact.

There was a dead silence, but I came to a world without people, just like I did at that time.

That's not good at all.

I was scared, tears flowed uncontrollably, and I ran out of the room, not knowing what to do.

Am I—am I......

"Brother, what are you doing?"

As soon as I ran out of the room, I bumped into Xi Ning, who was holding a water glass.

"Huh-"

"Why did you cry all of a sudden in the middle of the night?"

"Y-Where have you been?"

"Suddenly thirsty, just a glass of water."

She looked at me like a fool with a straight face.

"Hoo ......"

I felt relieved.

"What? Awakened by a nightmare and afraid to sleep? ”

She blinked, her big eyes like leaping notes.

"Hmmm......"

I simply admit it.

"Huh...... My brother is useless. ”

She sighed. I also felt a little guilty.

She's wearing a pink half-sleeve now, and she's bandaged all over her body, and I have injuries on my body, but not so bad.

"I used to sleep with you—"

She drank the water from her glass and picked up the small pillow.

"Hmmm......"

Back in the room, I sat on the bed and looked at the electronic calendar at the bedside, today turned out to be December 30th, but I didn't expect that five days had passed.

"I'll go to sleep first—"

Lemon lifted my quilt and slipped into it like a kitten.

"Little Lemon...... Can't, don't do that kind of thing anymore. ”

"Hmmm......"

"Why did you want to join the organization called the Hong Kong Society?"

"Brother, do you believe that there really are gods?"

"Why do you suddenly say this ......"

"I really believe it. Because I've seen it before. ”

“……”

I don't know how to answer.

"Remember how sick I used to be—"

Lemon laughed.

"Ah, of course I do. Often, I'm alone at home, and my parents take you all over the world to seek medical treatment. ”

At that time, Xiao Ning was suffering from a rare disease, and her parents, who were unwilling to give up, traveled to various places to seek treatment, but to no avail.

"During that time, looking at my parents with sad faces, I had the idea of dying. My own pain is secondary, and I don't want my loved ones to suffer for me too, spending what little money I have on me—"

“……”

"Seven years ago, it was that time, during the Spring Festival, my parents and I left home again and came to a far away place."

“…… Well. ”

"I'm going to kill myself."

“……”

"I escaped from the hospital at night, I don't know how long I ran - and then I saw the broken wall of a mountain, looked at the stars in the sky, and jumped off without thinking much about it."

“……”

"That mountain is so high, so high—I've been floating in the air for a long, long time—"

“……”

"I closed my eyes and quietly greeted death."

“……”

"But no, I saw the light. The light took me to a strange place, where the clouds were thick and the smoke was like a fairyland, like the 'paradise' described in the novel. I thought I was dead—"

“……”

Then I heard a gentle voice. The sound lingered, kissing my ears tenderly. ”

“……”

"She told me, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't give up—"

“……”

"I asked her where this was—the voice told me it was the realm of the gods."

"God's realm?"

"It was God's world, and the white clouds surrounded me, and I suddenly felt incredibly warm, and she told me that it was not time to give up. There will be people who will weep and grieve because of me, and there will be people who will be saved because of my existence. ”

"And then?"

Then I woke up, and I was miraculously lying at the bottom of the hill, unharmed. The next day, he was found by anxious police and paramedics. ”

"So—"

I gasped.

"Since then, the disease in my body has miraculously disappeared, and even the doctors say it is an unimaginable miracle."

"Neither my parents nor you told me about it, but when I came back, they just excitedly told me that you were cured."

I shook my head and sighed.

In my memory, this incident coincided with the 'Mingxue' incident. In other words, the gods saved Xiao Ning and gave up Mingxue.

"Well, when we came back, we thought we could have a better future. Unexpectedly, I saw only you who were unwilling. And then we learned about Mingxue. ”

A week later, the police found Mingxue's body on a mountain in Chisugi, her body dismembered in four or five places, and every severed arm was pierced with sharp steel pipes.

I've only seen it once, and until now, it's like I've been engraved in my head with a pen, and I'll never forget it.

"That's why I decided to use the life that the gods have given me a second time—to do something."

Xi Ning looked at the empty ceiling and said firmly.

"Ahh I also want to do something worthy of her. ”

I touched Lemon's head and said with a smile.

Then lie down with your back against the head of the bed, close your eyes—

I deciphered the meaning of 8992696 and locked down the real murderer - Zhang Manai (yi).

But all this lacks conclusive evidence, what to do. Officer Mountain said that everything was left to him. However, I also wanted to do something.

If Zhang Manai was the man in black at that time, then what Xiyu said was true.

What is Zhang's motivation?

Why wasn't his bloodstains found at the scene, and what was going on with bloodstains that didn't belong to anyone.

Who is that 'Mingxue' who shouldn't have appeared, and what is her purpose?

Countless mysteries still shroud me, and I am like a traveler who has trekked through the desert step by step, pushing through the fog and sand in the desert, but what I see is even more unattainable darkness.

I remembered the gods—the gift of God in me, the ability to foresee the future, and this was my only weapon. Can it be used for anything?

Not only the man in black at that time, but also the 'Nian Qi God'.

All this, what the hell is going on.

The bloodthirsty spirit of thought, the reunion of the 'famous snow', the disappearing sunset rain.

What the hell, what the hell is -

Everything is so confusing, I can't bear to sit still, even if I'm timid, even if I'm useless, even if I'm self-righteous, what can I do-

I clenched my fists, and anger poured out—

Suddenly—

Zizi

The scene in front of my eyes changed.

"What, what's the situation—"

The world is gradually eroded by darkness.

"Little Lemon, Lemon?"

I couldn't touch anything, everything around me turned into a void of darkness and chaos. Black is the main color, mixed with a mess of colors, the same scene up and down, left and right, I don't even know why I can stand in this world, as if a mysterious force lifts me up, giving me a false gravity.

"Welcome, Xi Qianchao."

The sound sounded as if it was striking directly on my eardrums.

["No, I should call you Xi Halberd. ”】

In front of him, there was a familiar person standing, speaking a familiar and unfamiliar name.
