Chapter 406: I'm Willing to Buy It!
Recognize Demon Tail, that was in his own childhood. Every day after school, Loya would sneak into the bookstore and never go home until she finished reading the new issue. It was also at that twilight that he met his first love, in the corner of the bookshelf, with the same comic book in both hands.
What a memories!
And World of Warcraft...... When I was in college, I was just in time for the ICC to open. The most dissolute and arrogant years of his life were in the World of Warcraft, where he experienced the life of Prince Arthas Minehir with a guild.
In the original promotional CG, the image of Arthas, who was incarnated as the Lich King, pierced through the ice with a sword and summoned the Frost Dragon, is still clearly retained in his mind.
But......
These are all in the past, until going to work, until starting work. These can only be memories after all......
Go to work, go home, go to work, go home...... A single tone became the main theme of his life, and the boredom and pressure made him like to watch pirates.
Looking at Luffy, who was unrestrained and free inside, he remembered his youth that was gone forever.
But he didn't expect that his fantasy would become his own strength.
"Nightmares born of illusions have an indescribable deterrent, and what does not belong to that world will soon be cleared out. Even if you are lucky enough to escape and become the lucky one who breaks the boundary between fantasy and reality, it will be difficult to break away again, and you will be bound to that world forever by nightmares. β
"And you, again and again, have appeared here......"
"So, do you understand how special you are?"
β...... It seems to be a little understood. β
Luo Ya scratched her chin and suddenly asked, "That's not right! Since I'm so powerful, why did I cross over? β
"It can't be the real world that excludes me, right?!"
"No, no, no, the real world doesn't exclude anything." It was the golden dragon who spoke, and he gently opened and closed the huge dragon's mouth, answering Luo Ya's questions: "Your crossing is the same as the fat man you just saw, it was just because of a dream. β
"Dreams?"
The corners of Luo Ya's mouth twitched: "In other words, did you cross over in a dream?" But then again, why don't I catch up on sleep during the May Day holiday? Sleep lazy and sleep through, this is too! β
"And yet...... That's just the way it is. The golden dragon ruthlessly revealed the fact that "if you sleep too lazily, you will die": "When you came here unconsciously, I thought you would be like those guys who came and went, and you would be ostracized after a walk. But I didn't expect that you not only relied on your fantasy ability to take their things from the World of Warcraft and the Demon Tail World, but also were able to dive into the One Piece world with one head after this, and even served a bowl of instant noodles in the real world! β
"I have to say, you're such a genius! If you are like this, you can still survive until now, I really obey you without the sun! β
Ordinary people are supporting the wall, but the dragon in front of them is supporting the sun!
"Okay, okay! I'm convinced! β
Luo Ya sat down with her hands crossed in a depressed manner, this fact was really painful. I was so cautious and vigilant before, thinking that the system was the same as those written in it, and it was the mastermind behind it.
As a result, I didn't expect that this was all my own sin!
It's not that Luo Ya didn't consider the possibility of them deceiving him, but in his perception, the golden dragon god in front of him was powerful and suffocating, and he was not on the same level as him at all!
How would such a powerful being deceive itself? It doesn't make sense!
Loya was very self-aware, and he didn't think that the other party could gain anything from his small self.
It's like the Four Emperors of the New World, will they deceive a little kid who has just gone to sea to gain benefits? You won't even say a word, will you?
Seeing that Loya was lost in thought, Edith and the golden dragon didn't seem to be in a hurry, waiting for him to digest the information slowly. It didn't take long for Loya to break away from her thoughts, look up at the golden dragon, and ask the question they had expected, and that every lucky one would ask.
"So...... Can I go back? β
The return here certainly does not mean returning to the One Piece world. Loya felt something for himself, and although he didn't know how he got here, he just needed a nap if he wanted to leave.
When he said to go back, he was going back to the world where he was born and raised, to his former family and friends, to his familiar daily life.
"This question...... Need to ask yourself. β
The golden dragon raised its front paws and tapped its head with one of its claws, and its deep voice brought Luo Ya into the depths of memory: "Do you want to go back?" Would you like to go back? You know, once you're out of the One Piece world, the Nightmare will reorganize the illusion, and all traces of you will be erased. No one will remember you, and no one will know that you exist. β
When he goes back, it means that he has abandoned everything in the One Piece world, and it means that he is forever separated from the pheasant, Zefa, his companions in the elite camp, and the justice he implements.
It's true that it's the world he grew up in, but the world of One Piece also has a bond that he can't let go.
Looking at the silent Luo Ya in front of him, the golden dragon did not have any expression of disappointment and expectation, he knew that this was a normal thing.
This is true of everyone who can appear in front of them, who reminisce about the past and hope to find a way home. But at the same time, it is difficult for them to let go of everything that followed, and let go of the people and things in the illusion. In this contradiction, some people choose reality, and some people choose to abandon the past.
But no matter how they choose, no matter what the outcome is, they will linger in pain and sorrow for a long, long time.
As if he couldn't bear it, Edith said, "Actually, you have a third way to choose......"
"What is it?!"
Luo Ya raised his head expectantly and asked himself, no matter which side it was, it was an existence he couldn't let go. If he didn't know the truth of the crossing and didn't have a trace of thought, maybe he wouldn't be so miserable. But now that the road was in front of him, he was suddenly a little overwhelmed.
"You can still be the guardian of dreams......" Edith replied in a shocking way, and even the golden dragon looked at her in surprise. It's just that Luo Ya, who was silent in his thoughts, didn't notice his movements, and asked hesitantly, "...... The Guardian Between Dreams, is it the same as you? β
This seems to be a good way to go.
Edith said that she had been by her side before, which meant that they could enter the illusion anytime and anywhere, and would not be rejected by nightmares. And watching the golden dragon cut through the space and send the fat man back, it also proves that they can return to reality.
"Yes, just like us."
Edith replied, "It's just that it's hard...... We are all born of fantasy and do not exist in every world, so we can be guardians. But you, you are a real entity, and if you want to become a guardian, you can only say that you have a chance......"
"It's enough to have a chance!"
Loya interrupted Edith's words and looked back at the planets scattered in the universe with a smile: "I hate life and death the most...... Call me naΓ―ve, call me naΓ―ve, I just hate those things. β
"Since I don't like it, then no matter how hard the road I have to embark on, I will completely crush what I hate!"
"Because I'm glad to!"
"So, tell me, what should I do?"
Edith looked at Loya in front of him in a daze, amused by his speech...... As well as admiration.
"What a quirky guy, okay then...... It's up to this ...... Let me tell you what to do next! β
