29 The Initial Place

What does the world look like when the baby is still in the mother's womb? Although it is controversial, it is certain that the baby is already conscious when he is still in the mother's womb, and will he think at that time? Will he observe? What color is the world he sees? ……

Many people believe that the baby is in the dark when he is in the mother's womb, where it is dark and dark......

But there is also an interesting problem - the baby has a strong sense of security when he is in the mother's body, he can hear the sound of blood flowing in the mother's body, and after he is born, whenever he hears the murmur of "rustling", he will relax a little, because he mistakenly thinks it is the sound of blood in the mother's body, and he will think that it is a symbol of safety. In the same way, if the baby really feels the darkness in the mother's womb, then he will also think that the darkness is safe - this obviously goes against the common sense that we know, the baby is afraid of the dark, and what can really make the baby feel safe is the bright and white space. So, when babies are in their mother's womb, in their consciousness, the world is white......

Milo awoke in the white world, he looked around blankly, looking for where he was from memory, vaguely recognizing this as if it were the council chamber of a fortress, but it was covered with a layer of white mist, and he could not see the lines of the walls and floor, and could only make out things by their outlines. What made him even more strange was that his thinking was unusually clear, and his thoughts were not so chaotic, as if the last time his mind was so clear was a long time ago.

"Ahh......h He hurriedly checked his body, ears, thighs, chest...... There were no wounds, and even the clothes on the body were neat......

"Where is this? Anyone? Melo shouted, and he began to wonder if he was dreaming, but where could such a dream be real?

"Is this the border between life and death?"

"Hey, Captain Milo!" A voice answered him, "Why are you here too?" ”

Milo turned his head sharply, and Hans Weil walked over with a smile, yes, the familiar Hans. Hans patted Milo on the shoulder enthusiastically and said with a smile, "What are you doing here?" You should go back. ”

Milo didn't understand Hans's words, because what was happening in front of him was too bizarre: "Wait, Hans, you're not...... Dead? Also, where is this? Am I dead too? He asked, touching the wound on his body, but he didn't feel any wounds.

"You, don't talk nonsense." Hans did not answer his question, but said to himself, "Remember Domi's prophecy?" He said I'd be reunited with my family when I got to Windwalk—of course, you know what that means. You say, I could have turned around and left, not coming to Boomtown, but I think ......," Hans sank his face, "there are some things that must be faced bravely, and it is useless to avoid them like a man." ”

The phrase "like a man" seemed to have been heard somewhere, and Melo recalled it earnestly, but could not remember it......

"Actually, I envy you, Milo!" Hans continued, a warm smile back on his face, "It's nice to be at home to be with your family. ”

“…… Home, in fact, I have already broken with my family......" Mello stopped looking for memories, and Hans's words reminded him of his family, "yes, it's been a long time since I broke with them......"

Hans still smiled cheerfully: "It's okay to break up, since it's family, what can't we talk about, unlike me, I can't talk to my family...... Oh oh, Charlie! ”

Hearing Hans's voice calling Charlie, Milo hurriedly turned his head to see that Charlie was trotting from not far away, and his face was also smiling. "You're both here. Feed! Milo, you haven't been here yet. Charlie's tone was stern but witty, and the expression on his face was a little sarcastic.

"What the hell is this place?" Mello hurriedly asked Charlie, "What the hell are you talking about?" ”

"Hahahaha......" Charlie suddenly laughed and showed a sincere smile, "I have to apologize to you, Milo." I did hear rumors about your family and was prejudiced against you, so I'm sorry I really misunderstood you. Charlie and Hans bowed to Milo at the same time. Mello didn't get the answer she wanted, but she didn't know what to say.

Charlie straightened up and continued, "I, yes, I didn't make the right decision, alas...... Should stay in Windrun Town and face all this, but ...... I don't regret my decision, I just feel sorry for my brothers...... Unexpectedly, I tried my best to get out of the center of the storm, but I didn't escape, and you have been in the center of the storm, but you are safe......" His face was clouded, "So, you have to face your true self and don't let despair and fear cloud your sanity." Milo, I hope you can do it. Oh yes, if you can go to the capital, visit my family on my behalf...... Even if it's just a bouquet of flowers...... I really miss them......"

Hans took Charlie's words: "Okay, okay, let's not talk more." Milo, look behind you—"

Mello hurriedly turned back—Heidi stood not far away, beckoning to him softly. He hurriedly turned back - Hans and Charlie were gone.

In the white world, seeing people who have left does not make people feel afraid, but a trace of comfort......

Melo hugged the girl tightly for fear that she would slip out of her arms, and the girl hugged him in the same way, responding to his enthusiasm and excitement...... If only this moment could last forever......

Melo and Heidi sat on the white ground, not feeling cold at all, and leaned against each other. Heidi is here, she is very presence, the familiar touch, the voice, the face......

"What the hell is this place?" Milo asked the question he hadn't been answered.

"Your dreams are where you first existed." Heidi replied softly, without any negative emotional voice.

"If it's a dream, I won't wake up anymore." Mello squeezed Heidi's hand and said.

"As long as it's a dream, you'll wake up." Heidi said with a smile.

"No, as long as you're ...... in your dreams," Milo said eagerly, but was interrupted by Heidi's words later.

"You can't live in a dream forever." The girl's eyes were as deep as crystal clear water.

"Be brave like a man. Remember our agreement? You're going to do it. ”

"Don't bind me with conventions, I can free myself at any time." Milo said firmly.

"The covenant is not to limit you, but to make you not forget me." Heidi whispered, still smiling.

Milo wanted to continue to refute, but was speechless, he knew in his heart that suicide was just an escape from the pain, and he could not face the pain of losing Heidi......

"Is it really good to kill yourself to escape your pain? If you leave me first, do you want me to kill myself? Heidi's words hit the nail on the head, breaking through the last barrier in Milo's heart.

Heidi slowly stood up, took Milo's hand, and pointed to the white front, where there was a faint door. "Get out of there, Milo, and the dream will wake up. If you want to see me, I will appear in your dreams. ”

Milo also stood up, the girl's words were gentle and firm, he understood that the girl had long seen through the weakness in his heart, knew that he would run away from everything, but she also silently encouraged him and pushed him to face it, to face it like a man.

Milo looked in the direction of the door, then turned back to look at the girl for a long time, and looked at each other without saying a word...... There is no need for any language between the two......

He let go of the girl's hand and walked towards the door, his steps steady and resolute, he did not want to disappoint the girl......

But he turned back anyway—and saw Heidi smiling, raising her hands to grab the roots of the hair on both sides, and looking mischievous, giving him great encouragement.

The moment he stepped through the door, tears could no longer be suppressed......

The texture of the stone ceiling gradually became clear, and the flickering light of the oil lamp sprinkled on it, and the blurred vision was finally clear. Melo woke up slowly, he tried to move, and his body was completely under control, except for some fatigue. He was aware that he should be in a fortress. He remembered the dream just now, and suddenly there was a cramp in his heart, and he frowned unconsciously, and moaned softly.

"Are you okay?" A kind and kind voice sounded beside him, and Milo knew who the person next to him was just by listening to the voice.

"It's all right," he replied, "but it's still in pain...... I want to drink water, pour me a glass, wind chimes. ”

"Okay, as long as you don't want to kill yourself, you can do whatever you want." Wind Chime said in a joking tone, but the kindness in the words would not be misunderstood, and then turned to pour water.

When Milo heard this, she thought for a moment and laughed "sneering". Suddenly, he found that all the wounds on his body were gone, and the places where he had been hit by the bullet were intact, just like in a dream.

"Am I still dreaming? I remember being shot three times, but the wound was gone. ”

"You're not hurt, maybe you're hallucinating after drinking the poison." Wind chimes pour hot water into the cup.

"Oh yes, I drank the poison...... But, why didn't he die? ”

"Maybe it's not enough of the poison, or maybe you're resistant to that poison, who knows." The wind chimes shook the hot water in the cup.

"What about the Praetorian Guard? Are you all solved? ”

"It's all settled, thanks to your great work." The wind chime blew the hot water lightly again, and slowly handed the cup over.

"What the hell are you up to? Are we all toyed with by you? ”

"Me? I'm just helping you solve your difficulties, and besides, the people of Windwalk Town want you to live, and I have to help you fulfill this wish. The wind chime shoved the water cup into Milo's hand. But, Melo Entekoman—"

"How does it feel to be born again?"

Milo took the silver cup, took a sip of water, and replied as if relieved, "It still hurts......"

He added:

"—it doesn't hurt that much, though."
