[059] lamp
Gongsun Xuanyuan looked down at Chi You's corpse, her hands clenching the hilt of the sword were easily opened, and then she hung down naturally, she sat on her knees with a bang, and her whole person was a little paralyzed.
"Public ......"
Ji Xuanyuan had just taken a step forward when he was stopped by Su Bai.
"What's wrong?" Ji Xuanyuan still had red eyes and asked incomprehensibly.
Su Bai shook his head and didn't say anything, just pulled Ji Xuanyuan, who was a cut taller than himself, behind him, and Ji Xuanyuan cooperated very well without making any resistance.
"Apricot," Su Bai said.
"Got it."
"Please."
Xing and Su Bai understood each other's meaning just by making eye contact, and at the same time said a conversation that Ji Xuanyuan could hear in the clouds.
"What?" She asked ignorantly.
Then she saw Xing face walking towards her expressionlessly, taking her little hand and walking in another direction, the opposite direction of Gongsun Xuanyuan.
"W-what?" Ji Xuanyuan broke away from Xing's hand, "Xing, why have you become so strange!" ”
"Of course it's weird, Uncle Ben isn't the stinky little guy who only talks nonsense," Apricot shrugged, her eyes obscured by the shadows cast by her thick pink bangs in the moonlight.
"Who do you say is the stinky imp?!" Li Xing suddenly appeared behind her and slammed a small fist on her head, "Be reasonable, I can live hundreds or thousands of times longer than yours, right?" ”
"So what, it's just a stinky little imp who has lived a little longer!" After getting acquainted with Li Xing, Xing began to speak unscrupulously.
“…… Uh, uh, that. ”
Ji Xuanyuan's hands waved helplessly in the air. She didn't know why the familiar and strange girl in front of her suddenly yelled at the air like a sheep's madness.
"......" Xing came back to her senses, coughed lightly twice, and whispered to Li Xing, "It's all your fault" before looking up at Ji Xuanyuan.
"Sister Su Bai will tell you specific things, for now, you'd better follow me and leave here."
"Gongsun Xuanyuan she...... What's wrong? ”
Ji Xuanyuan's limited experience made her not understand what Xing meant, but she still vaguely guessed something.
"Are you going to go or not?" Xing frowned and said impatiently.
"......" Ji Xuanyuan glanced at Su Bai, but only saw the other party's slightly thin back, and there seemed to be wind and thunder around her.
"Let's go."
……
"How does it feel?"
After Ji Xuanyuan and Xing left, Su Bai slowly walked to Gongsun Xuanyuan's side and sat side by side with her on Chi You's huge head.
"A little uncomfortable......"
Gongsun Xuanyuan touched her neck, took a deep breath, her chest rose and fell sharply, and then she completely relaxed her body.
"This kind of thing is still inevitable in the end," Su Bai sighed, looking up at the dotted red stars in the distance, the sun was below the horizon, but its light had already sprinkled up.
"I'm sorry."
"There's no need to apologize for this kind of thing, it's my own choice, if you want to apologize, just apologize for you deceiving me for so long," Gongsun Xuanyuan said a lot at once.
"I didn't expect it to be like this at first."
"If you make the decision at the beginning, the person here should be Ji Xuanyuan and not me, right?"
"That's right, after all, I didn't expect there to be a Snow Maiden."
"Isn't that good now, how is she?"
"She, she's been to a far, far away place."
"Really......"
"Yes."
"Then I'm relieved......"
"Of course, you can rest assured."
"Hmmm......"
Silent.
Suddenly, there was a silence as death.
Su Bai and Gongsun Xuanyuan didn't speak, the two of them sat quietly together, raised their heads, and watched the light in the distance drive out the darkness little by little, and sprinkle the sky over there little by little.
The first sun was a golden light, similar to the blood-red of the setting sun, but with a little difference, and it looked soft, like warm flames falling into the clouds.
The sleeping clouds are awakened by the warmth, and thus become the warm clouds.
"Su Bai."
"Huh?"
"Who the hell am I?"
Su Bai turned his head and looked at Gongsun Xuanyuan.
The sun had not yet poked its head out, and its brilliance had only turned the clouds into dreamy and brilliant painted gold, but it did not illuminate the sleeping earth, and the starlight still shrouded the earth.
Gongsun Xuanyuan's body hid in the shadow of Chiyou's huge horns.
She was a little thin, dressed in thin black satin, and wore a crimson gem strung together with a golden chain on her head, which was not reflective and hidden in the dark.
"You're Gongsun Xuanyuan," Su Bai said.
Gongsun Xuanyuan didn't speak, but slowly changed from kneeling to sitting with his knees in his arms, and touched Su Bai with his arm on the way, and shrank back like a frightened little white rabbit.
"The bright crystals in the sky are far away from us, but those lights have fallen on us, but their light has been very weak when it falls on us."
She looked up at the night that was slowly dispelled by the light.
"They are all devotees who illuminate us, but they are also the circle of devotional light, and the sparkling light is much smaller than the light of the big fireball, so their life can only be dispelled by the big fireball.
Not all of us are sparkles and big fireballs, but I must be the inconspicuous sparkle that burns itself for the light, and in the end it will be dispelled. ”
"No, you're not......"
“…… Maybe. ”
"The meaning of the existence of a life is difficult to compare with this kind of brilliance of stars and the sun," Su Bai shook his head lightly, "Everyone is the sun, the sun of others is also their own sun, if you can't shine on others, you will illuminate yourself, and no one will be a star......
If there is, it's definitely not you. ”
Gongsun Xuanyuan moved slightly, and Su Bai noticed it.
She continued: "We have gone through such a long journey, crossed the snow-capped mountains and slaughtered the Honkai Beast, you are no longer Ji Xuanyuan's doppelganger, or the moment you have consciousness, you are already an independent being. ”
Su Bai paused and looked into her eyes: "You are Gongsun Xuanyuan, not anyone else, you are our companion." ”
"But Gongsun Xuanyuan is dying."
“……”
For a moment, Su Bai felt as if his heart had been pinched by someone else, so he suddenly didn't know what to answer, so he fell silent.
That's right, Gongsun Xuanyuan is dying.
Now it is not a discussion of what the meaning of one's life exists in or what it manifests, but that the person who is discussing this is about to leave this world.
Because Ji Xuanyuan was not sealed, there would be no existence of the individual "Gongsun Xuanyuan".
It's like even if Xing and Su Bai have such a big connection, it is easy to say that even if someone travels to the past and kills her parents before Xing is born, Xing will be born because of the corrective power of the law of time.
Albeit in a myriad of ways.
But this time was different.
Gongsun Xuanyuan's closeness to Su Bai in the original timeline was far less than that of Xing, and it was Su Bai and Gongsun Xuanyuan who changed the status quo that "Ji Xuanyuan" was sealed.
Although Su Bai did not kill Chi You with his own hands, it was equivalent to indirectly changing history, so that the corrective power was limited and ineffective.
Gongsun Xuanyuan was brought back by her and Xing.
……
"Will you forget me?" Gongsun Xuanyuan asked cautiously.
Her eyes really looked like a kitten, holding her knees, hiding half of her face behind her knees, her movements were soft and gentle, and her speech was like a melodious flute.
It's not reasonable to remember a person who doesn't exist.
"I will."
Su Bai said.
As a "special body" itself that is not directly affected by any law, Su Bai will certainly not lose the slightest memory of Gongsun Xuanyuan because of the law of time.
Su Bai will not forget Gongsun Xuanyuan.
Her huge memory bank contains many, many people, most of them have become the dust of history, and the people who know them and remember them are also staying in Su Bai's memories together.
No one knew about them.
It's as if they didn't exist.
If Su Bai didn't remember them, they really didn't exist.
"That would be fine...... Presumably. ”
Gongsun Xuanyuan raised her head slightly, revealing her faint smile, her eyes were a little red, making her smile look distressing.
She had been confused and numb.
Su Bai once fabricated a few lies for her that were easy to debunk, she didn't see through them, but she was also not deceived by Su Bai.
……
She used to feel sleepy with the thought of "who am I", but she put the question aside, and she felt that Su Bai would definitely tell her when the time came.
Now you have the answer.
Now this answer doesn't matter anymore.
"The ......"
"I ......"
Su Bai and Gongsun Xuanyuan spoke at the same time, and both of them were stunned for a moment, but it was Su Bai who came back to his senses first and said, "You speak first."
“…… I love you guys. ”
"We like you too."
"That's right."
"That's right."
“…… Aren't you going to say anything more? ”
"It doesn't matter."
"Oh......"
……
"I'm going to be gone."
Gongsun Xuanyuan spread out his hands and looked at his somewhat illusory and transparent body, the white light curtain seemed to be composed of foam, and the silver-white light points slowly rose into the sky.
"Hmm."
"It's a pleasure to be with you."
"Hmm."
Su Bai calmly looked at the golden in the distance, the sun seemed to be blocked by something, only the light fell on the sky, and the earth was pitch black.
Gongsun Xuanyuan's body was becoming more and more transparent, as if it was filled with white blisters, becoming a little crystalline.
Immediately afterwards, from the soles of the feet, those white bubbles began to rise like bubbles produced by breathing underwater, and Gongsun Xuanyuan's body turned into white bubbles little by little, rising into the sky.
Tears burst out of her eyes and mingled with the rising white blisters, but eventually fell to the ground with a snap.
"Remember me...... Definitely. ”
“……”
Su Bai didn't answer, but Gongsun Xuanyuan had already received the answer.
She smiled silly, tears streaming down her cheeks, which had changed the arc of her grin, but at the same time her cheeks were slowly disappearing.
When the last blister rose into the sky like tears, and Jingying slowly disappeared into the night, Su Bai whispered:
"Definitely."
The sun's light suddenly pierced through the clouds and illuminated Su Bai's face.
……
When Su Bai returned to the camp she had built, Ji Xuanyuan had already fallen asleep due to tiredness, and Jiang Zhu was guarding her bedside to take care of her.
She ...... Gone? Li Xing asked.
Xing sat on the steps in a daze, looking at the sun who had climbed into the air without much expression on her face, and she had nothing to do with Gongsun Xuanyuan.
Su Bai put a pair of beautiful flower shoes stained with dust on the ground, and carried a black lamp in his left hand.
The lamp emitted a pure black glow, and although it looked and sounded weird, the black object was indeed a lamp, and the lamp was a particle different from the light energy body.
"Gone." Su Bai said.
"Will I forget her? Not even the Third Perpetual Motion Mechanism can stop it? Li Xing's eyes widened.
Su Bai shook his head: "The law of origin is different from the law of the first generation, those who are close to the gods but cannot reach the gods, even if they are one thousandth of the difference, they are all lifeforms that are bound under the rules. ”
"Yes......" Satoko sighed.
"I'm sorry."
"Sister Su Bai, why do you apologize for everything."
"I just feel that my strength may not be strong enough, I can destroy the whole world, but I can't save a person."
Su Bai breathed a long sigh of relief, the soil swallowed all the flower shoes and turned them into a simple small tomb, she thought about it again, and finally even the tomb sank together.
"Human life is fragile."
She shook her head and sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness, pity, numbness, and untold pity in her tone.
She's not that uncomfortable, just a little sad, she's seen so much death.
"I'll be with you always."
Li Xing stretched out her hands and grabbed her right hand hanging to the side, and then took Su Bai's hand as if praying and put it on her chest.
The barren chest rises and falls slightly.
"Hmm."
Su Bai withdrew his hand quietly, then nodded, put the black lamp in his left hand on the cabinet on the side, turned around and walked towards the door.
It's just that she stopped when she walked to the door, turned her head sideways and said to Li Xing and Xing: "I'll go and say goodbye to Ji Xuanyuan, you guys get ready, we're going back." ”
“…… Yes? Okay, okay," Apricot was stunned for a moment, then replied immediately.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Li Xing stood up straight, showing an innocent smile, as if she had forgotten about Gongsun Xuanyuan.
Su Bai hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and walked out.
……
Fennel resurrected many people.
So he is now worshipped like a god by those people, sitting on the highest bell tower, eating what can be called wonderful and delicious food in this age.
After all, it was Su Bai who brought it back from the future.
"I'm leaving," Su Bai's voice was like a gust of wind, "or if you continue to enjoy it here for five thousand years, we will be able to meet." ”
"No, I'm going to leave with you," Fennir said for a moment, then wrinkled his nose and sullenly said.
Su Bai didn't answer, she had already left here.
Fennel stretched out his wolf paw and touched his nose, then leaped lightly and quietly jumped down from the bell tower, and no one saw him.
……
"Ji Xuanyuan."
The girl who had just woken up dimly heard a voice calling her name, this voice was familiar, and the tone was mixed with incomparable calm and coldness.
Ji Xuanyuan opened his eyes and looked at his soft bedside, Jiang Zhu was asleep on the stool next to him.
She touched the bed under her, which was made of substances she had never seen before, and it felt soft and comfortable to the touch, but she was a little unaccustomed to sleeping.
"Ji Xuanyuan."
The voice is clear.
The petite girl holding the white wolf came out of the wall, the picture was terrifying and amazing, Su Bai's face was as calm as water, and he looked at Ji Xuanyuan with a pair of eyes, but he seemed to be staring into the distance.
"What's wrong?"
Ji Xuanyuan didn't know why her head hurt a little, she rubbed her little head, and at the same time asked Su Bai with her eyes half-open.
"We're leaving," her voice didn't have any warmth, but Ji Xuanyuan inexplicably felt that her words were a little reluctant.
"And ...... Meet? Ji Xuanyuan asked.
Her head was a little uncomfortable, as if something was stirring in her brain, some slight tingling, and her consciousness was not very clear, so she didn't know what kind of emotion she was in right now.
She felt that her expression must be ugly.
"No," Su Bai shook his head.
"Really......"
Ji Xuanyuan lowered her eyes, the sun shone obliquely through the window, and her thick eyelashes made her eyes hide in shadows.
"If there's a chance to see you again——!" Ji Xuanyuan suddenly raised his head, slightly excited, "...... Forget it, forget it. ”
"If you have a chance to see you again, you will definitely see you again."
The voice was light, like a white feather, rising into the sky with the falling sun, and Su Bai and Fennel were gone.
"And ...... Goodbye. ”
Ji Xuanyuan hugged the quilt tightly and hid his body in the warmth.
……
……
……
The brilliant colors finally faded, and all that was left was a black lamp that had lost its light.
There is still a trace of residual temperature on the lampholder, spanning 5,000 years.
