Everything is like a sacrifice.

When the gorilla sacrificed himself to the broken ice, it was as if the wrath of the ice god had subsided, and the vast ice field slowly returned to its original state.

Mr. Z and Mr. Miki walked aimlessly, with Mr. Miki walking in front and Mr. Z following closely behind.

"It's funny." Teacher Miki, who was walking in front, sighed softly, slowly raised his head and looked at the gray-white sky and said, "The young people have all gone in, and only the two old guys are left." ”

"Hmm."

"Mr. Z," Miki-sensei stopped suddenly, "do you have something to say to me?" ”

"Why did Miki-sensei ask that?" Mr. Z also stopped.

"You've been walking after me for half an hour," Miki said with a smile, "It's not like our Mr. Z's style." ”

"Okay," Mr. Z said calmly, "I do have something to say to Miki-sensei." There are only two of us left at the moment, and it's just right. ”

Teacher Miki looked at Mr. Z's handsome face and gently spit out two words: "Say it." ”

"Miki-sensei, how long have we known each other?"

"It's been almost ten years."

"But I don't remember the scene when we met." Mr. Z said aloud, "Memories are like a speeding train to me, and when I experience new things and have new memories, I forget the past. ”

"It's nerve-wracking." After sighing, Miki added in a low voice, "But maybe it's a good thing." ”

"You must know something, don't you?" Mr. Z asked suddenly.

"Me? Ha ha. Teacher Miki smiled, "Although the old man's knowledge is also very profound, it can't be compared with Mr. Z." How can an old man know something that even you don't understand? ”

"No, you must know something." Mr. Z said loudly.

"How so?" Miki-sensei spread her hands.

"There's one thing, I think Qing'er has noticed too. It's your prologue. ”

"You mean that climb-and-climb cave game that's not at all suitable for an old thing like me?"

"Yes."

"Any questions?" Miki-sensei deliberately avoided Mr. Z's deep eyes.

"I'm thinking, why don't you just give up?"

"What, what?" Miki-sensei didn't seem to understand.

"Since you don't want me to get in touch with the truth, just give up on the prologue. This way the game fails in the prologue and we don't enter this world. Mr. Z said slowly, "But you didn't. ”

Miki-sensei was stunned, and it took a while to come back to her senses.

"What are you talking about?" Miki Teacher pretended to be relaxed and said, "This is a game in which everyone participates, everyone works so hard, how can the old man give up?" ”

"But it took Miki-sensei a long time to find the seven-colored flower."

"I'm ashamed." Teacher Miki said with a smile, "Maybe I'm old, or maybe I've drunk too much wine, and my head is far less bright than before." ”

"Nope."

"Huh?"

"We have no way of knowing what you could have hidden, but everything has changed since the information was shared!"

“…… Is there a flaw somewhere? ”

"The seven-colored flower is in the sarcophagus that you can see as soon as you enter the cave." Mr. Z affirmed, "You knew this for a long time, but you fell into great hesitation. You're reluctant to uncover the truth, but in the end you can't help but turn this little flower out. ”

"Why do you say I knew about it early on?"

"Although you disguised it well, you could climb up and down the cave nineteen times without your body. But every time you pass by the sarcophagus, you will glance at the coffin, intentionally or unintentionally. ”

“…… I see. Miki-sensei said slowly, "So Qing'er also found out?" ”

"Yes."

"Haha," Miki-sensei smiled, "there are no secrets in front of smart people like you. ”

"Miki-sensei admitted it?"

"Do I have a choice?" Miki-sensei asked rhetorically.

"Then why don't you just give up?"

Again, the problem is back to the beginning.

"The old man did think so, and almost did it." Teacher Miki said frankly, "We are very happy now, and we bring happiness to others, it is simply a fairy life, so what's wrong with letting such days continue?" ”

"But you ended up opening the sarcophagus."

"Yes." Miki-sensei paused and said meaningfully, "For me, Mika, Anxin, Agorilla, and Rey, this is the best life. But shouldn't we be so selfish? Our good days are built on the fact that you and Qing'er are ignorant of the past. Although I don't know what happened to you. But I know that once I get to the truth, everything will change, and it will be a huge change that no one could have predicted! To put it simply, we are like living under a huge vortex of energy, as long as we don't touch the vortex, we can live peacefully, and even as if the vortex does not exist! ”

"But you decided to touch the maelstrom anyway." Mr. Z asked a similar question.

"yes, that's because I figured it out out of nowhere." Miki-sensei said with a smile, "I used to think that the huge whirlpool that was above my head was untouchable. Once we get involved, our good days, especially the peaceful lives of you and Qing'er like now, will be completely shattered, and I really don't want to see you hurt. ”

This time, Mr. Z did not speak, but listened quietly.

"But the appearance of that sarcophagus made me change my mind." Miki-sensei said loudly, "Good things and bad things can't just look at the surface. A sarcophagus may seem cold and unforgiving, symbolizing death and destruction, but when you open the sarcophagus, you may not see a shriveled corpse, but a beautiful seven-colored flower. ”

"What should come will come." Miki-sensei sighed, "Just uncover all of this and leave the choice to yourself." ”

"So Miki-sensei decided to go all out?"

"Haha. I'm getting old, and I've really become stupid and sluggish. Teacher Miki smiled, "I don't dare to say it with all my might, but the old man tries not to hold back." ”

"Thank you." Mr. Z said, "Please tell me everything you know." There were just the two of us here, and it was just right. ”

"Mr. Z means ......"

"I want to find the truth before Qing'er." Mr. Z said with a firm gaze, "Then make the most correct judgment." If there really were only cold corpses in the sarcophagus, I hope Qing'er can continue to live happily as she does now. ”

"Okay." Miki-sensei seemed to have made up her mind, "The first time I met you was on a winter night ten years ago, and it was snowing heavily that day. I was very irritable that day, very irritable, and I didn't want to live anymore. Contrary to what many people think, my unwanted life is not based on the premise of poverty. On the contrary, I had everything. It was this that made me lose my purpose in life. I understand that there is so much to be said about my unbelievably large wealth, and that even every one of my relatives is coveting my money. It may have been a passer-by, and I suddenly didn't want to live that snowy night, so I came to the top of the golden mansion that I had built with my own hands. It was like going crazy, and I was desperate to jump from the roof of the building and put an end to my life. At the time, I was paranoid that jumping from the top of the empire I had founded was the best place for me. ”

At this point, Miki-sensei suddenly stopped, because it was snowing on the ice field. Crystal snowflakes flutter all over the sky, rendering the already barren world even more gloomy.

"The game seems to understand me, and it has sent me props. That's right, it was such a snowy day. There is a voice in my heart that lingers, jump down, jump down, this is where you end up in life. Falling from the top of the building built by your own hands, drawing a beautiful arc, how magnificent, hahahaha. Miki-sensei smiled exaggeratedly, "Are you weird?" I didn't jump from there in the end. But now it has truly become a mecca for suicides! ”

"Spring Cake Building?" Mr. Z blurted out.

"Yes, it's the Spring Cake Building." Teacher Miki looked at the light gray distance blocked by the wind and snow and said slowly, "This tower-shaped building is 1,145 meters high, and among all the buildings in the world today, it is second only to the Monkey King Tree in the Imperial Capital and the Sky Throne in the Great Pineapple City of the Western Federation. ”

"Ten years ago? Spring Cake Building? ”

"Haha, did Mr. Z think of something?"

"You are...... Zhao Chunbi? ”

"Yes, I'm Zhao Chunbi." Miki said lightly, "But that's all in the past, and it's like a memory of a past life." ”

"But I don't have any memory of that day."

"That's right, your memories are passing away like flowing water."

"I can only remember what happened in those three years. It's like a sharp knife in my mind, and more than three years of memories will be ruthlessly cut through by it. "I visited the world's top medical institutions, but I came to the conclusion that I was not sick. ”

"Haha, it would be strange if those so-called brain scientists could solve your problem."

"On that snowy night ten years ago, on the roof of the Spring Cake Building, you saw me for the first time, right?"

"Yes. That scene was as clear as it was engraved in my mind. Miki-sensei said loudly, "On the roof of the building covered in wind and snow, there is a man covered in blood. Maybe everything was providential, and the moment I saw you, my thoughts of suicide suddenly disappeared, just as they suddenly appeared. I rushed towards you with all my might. How do you feel? Where are you hurt? I yelled, but you didn't respond to me. Your mouth just keeps repeating the words: Princess, princess, where are you? At this moment, as if a miracle had struck, I saw that the wounds on your body were slowly healing, and even the blood stains became lighter and lighter until they disappeared. ”
