“…… If I can't go back, reality will be hell. You and I both want to maintain balance, and we both care about whether each other's worlds have fixed rules. So, you're going to let me go, right? And that girl, who is the most important thing and must leave hell with me. ”

In the face of my words, the person in front of me, who had the same face as me, always maintained a cold smile on his face.

"I really don't want the rules to be broken, but have you ever thought that maybe the rules themselves are not something I can interfere with. Although, if I destroy, the rules will also be broken. ”

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"It's like the Mi family mechanism you destroyed, although the king worm is the core, but he is trapped in it. I'm like the king worm...... Now do you understand? ”

I see.

He is one of the energy sources that keep the world running, the guardian of the rules, but he is also limited by the rules.

"So what's the rule?" I asked.

"Life and death are irreversible." His voice echoed between the world in front of him, and it seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, "There is no resurrection from the dead in this world, and there is no time back. The person whose eyes are resurrected is not the person who was before, and the timeline you have pushed backwards is only the state of the person who has been pushed backwards. You can go back, but another world with a different timeline may be a fraction of a second, but it will never be the same. You'll miss out on everything that belongs to your own timeline forever. ”

I have an obsession in my heart, and I don't want to miss half a second.

And if what he says is true, even if it is only half a second, it is two worlds. Two worlds are not necessarily the same story. Maybe when I come to that world, it will be worthless.

"But I'm not dead." I thought about my own journey into this world.

"You're dead, the process doesn't matter, we just look at the result. You're here, you're dead. ”

"Running out of options? I don't believe it...... "I have different eyes."

Even wanting to destroy this place altogether, I was torn between destruction and abandonment.

"There is ......"

But he finally gave me a word of hope.

"What's the solution?" I asked urgently.

"That way, only once, only for one person...... "He walked towards me, getting closer and closer to me, I saw myself in his eyes, "across the world line." ”

"Didn't you say that going back in time is another world? There's no point in going back. ”

"No, it's in the process of choosing a timeline. You go back in time to a certain point, but don't get off at that point. To put it simply, you died in this world, but you can be reborn in another world, but in the process of going to another world, I took advantage of the loophole and ran back to my old world. Of course, this will also be limited by the rules, once you choose a certain world, then that world, will be linked to your insect venom, you can only escape for a while, but you can't escape for a lifetime. There will be a force that you can't resist that, eventually, will transport you to the world you have chosen anew. Maybe it was a few seconds ago, a few days ago, a few years ago that belonged to you? Or maybe even more distant......"

"Then I'm in reality, how long can I last."

"I don't know, maybe a month, maybe a week, maybe a day. You can disappear at any time. ”

"Is that it, it could be decades ......"

"Good wishes. There are also chances, but not much. ”

Life and death are irreversible, and time cannot be reversed.

The world has rules that can never be broken.

No matter how unwilling I am.

Just like Du Youlan said to me that day, some people are dead when they die......

Yes, it's dead.

"Give me this chance, I'm going back." So, I ended up making this decision.

"Of course, that's what I was going to do in the first place. But those insects outside are afraid that they will hate you to death. ”

"It doesn't matter. But what do these eyes mean to the world? Do I need to leave them behind? I asked.

"No, I'd like you to take it with me. The Seal watches over it, but because I can't destroy it, and keeping it in this hell is my only threat. ”

I stroked my eyes, "So are you breaking the rules?" ”

"Maybe giving it to you is part of the rules."

Is it part of the rules in itself?

I looked at him, the same face as mine, and remembered the way these eyes entered my sockets, the strange world after the suicide in the underground cavern.

Fate will not be coincidental, everything is predestined.

Maybe that's it......

"By the way, that girl, I promised her that I would take her back. I knew I was doomed, but at least I wanted it to be good for her. The timeline you mentioned, can you also give her a chance. ”

"Of course, after all, you are a grace not to kill me."

Everything is back to normal, the rules of the inner city are fixed, and Forty-Nine has fulfilled its only mission, let me in. Thirty-five was unwillingly sent back to the outer city.

The person who looks the same as me has sent me a personal favor again, and the dried corpse can be sent back to another world in a different timeline.

But the condition is that he will never know that he has returned to the same world.

I agreed, and the man opened a door. A white passage that seems to lead to an endless and distant place. He said that as long as he walked on, he would disappear in the timeline he should enter. It will not be half a point different from the timeline that has already been selected.

But this distinction is goodbye.

"Brother, when I go back, I want to eat lotus sugar cake all night! You're going to make it for Silent Night to eat! "Walking down that passage like a quiet night.

"Hmm......" I replied, daring to look at her with only my peripheral vision.

Unwillingly, I wanted to look at her a few more times.

"Brother, why do you seem to have something on your mind?" Silent Night noticed my abnormality and stopped.

"It's fine."

"Then why does my brother walk so slowly? Quiet night is a little anxious......"

"Walk slowly, silent night, brother...... My brother was thinking about something. ”

"Why, it's obviously going home, but it's like I'm going to go far away, and I haven't seen you for a long time. Brother, what are you thinking? "Silent Night shouldn't understand what I'm thinking at the moment.

I gently stroked the girl's head, but after all, I couldn't help it, and reminded: "Silent night, in fact, it may be a little different......"

"What's different?"

However, before I could respond, a very discordant voice suddenly popped out of the dry corpse's mouth, "It seems that you really noticed it?" ”

It's just that I didn't understand much of this sentence.

"Perceived? What the? ”

"Now that you're aware of it, don't play dumb. In short, your time is not enough. The cadaver stopped and turned back to an expression I had never seen on his face.

There were dark red lines around him, and his fingers pinched the Dao seal.

"What do you mean by that? It looks like it's going to do something with me. "I slowly pulled the silent night behind me.

The dry corpse smiled coldly, "Didn't you find out a long time ago?" Almost, as I said, I've figured things out, so this time it's going to be different. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll be myself."

I stared at him, and I actually understood a little bit about this sentence.

I always feel that if he is really similar to me, then this sentence should have been said by him a long time ago.

"The moment I was killed by Ayimu, it was actually fine. It's just that when I came to this world, I began to become more and more unwilling. I'm thinking what I'm doing all this for? Obviously, all the memories are mine, and all the experiences are also mine. How did I end up being a fake? And you, just because the insect poison is in your body and inherits the memory, you become the real me? I'm not reconciled, I'm Wei Heng. What are you? You're nothing...... Since the world has given me a second chance, I won't be as stupid as before, I should seize this opportunity. This time, there is only one Wei Heng in the world, and that is me. And you...... It's best to go back the way you came. ”

"I sympathize with what happened to you. But...... Have you ever heard that saying, some people are born unlucky? I thank you for everything you've done for me, but I also have to keep my name, my name is Zora. ”

"You know your name is Zoraku? Then you should also understand that if Zuo Le is dead, he should stay in hell, and Wei Heng should be resurrected! ”

I shook my head, "No, you're wrong, it's Wei Heng who died, and he died a long time ago." It's Zoraku who should go back. Of course, you can't go back. ”

"What do you mean?"

"You don't need to know, if you want to go, you can go on."

"You have to make it clear!"

"Let's go, silent night." I didn't plan to fight him, the snake man's eyes were in my sockets, and with the cadre's current ability, it wasn't too much of a threat to me. Even if I escaped, it was enough for me to safely escort Jingye to where she should go, and I myself had the ability to return to reality.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the dry corpse suddenly smiled coldly, "You really don't seem to have noticed?" You can't go. ”

I ignored it, but Jingye's face suddenly turned pale, her body trembled, she grabbed my arm hard, and squeezed out a word stiffly in her mouth, "It hurts......"

"What's wrong with Silent Night??" I grabbed Jingye's wrist and felt very hot, as if I had caught a fire.

Then the fire did appear, and she burst out of her limbs and mouth and nose from the silent night!

Screams of pain in the silent night! That voice sounds like life is worse than death!

"Stop! What are you doing?! "I turned into a worm and pounced on the dry corpse, but a rock appeared out of thin air, blocking the way, and Jing Ye's screams of even more pain behind me completely disturbed my mind, I didn't know whether to kill the dry corpse or go back to take care of Jing Ye.

"Remember my spells? My fire can burn insect poison, you can understand it as burning her soul, this pain is fatal, and irreversible. In other words, once the insect poison is burned out, it cannot regenerate. Moreover, her self-healing ability is useless for this. I didn't want to use that trick, but you're too tough to deal with. Since you refuse to go back obediently, then I will have to take the night as a hostage. ”

"I'll kill you......"

"Very well, you could have killed me, with your left and right eyes. But let me warn you, it's useless to go back to the timeline, because that spell had been planted in the Silent Night body a few hours ago. As for killing me, of course you can do it now, but once I die, the fire of the silent night will never be extinguished. You see she's a little more comfortable now, and if she burns again, she'll really die. ”

I slowly turned my head and looked at the still night as I lay on the ground gasping for breath in agony.

At the same time, she lowered her head and lifted her head, looking at me, desperate, and pinning all her hopes on me.

It's just that at that moment, on the face of the ruined silent night, I suddenly saw a familiar picture that I had never dreamed of.

That face......

Where have you seen it?

Is that......

My heart was beating fast, and my soul was trembling.

I finally recognized her, and that face was clearly Mina's real face in that dream!
