The bright sun never diminished, and the swaying foliage seemed to mock my ignorance.

I stared at her, but I didn't know what answer I wanted from her mouth.

"Not exactly."

When I weighed the various emotions in my heart, I sat on the edge of the bed with a relaxed face, and the gaze that looked at me was also mixed with inexplicable mystery.

"These are facts that I have personally experienced, that happened in the past."

"Past—facts?"

I was confused, and my voice became more and more confused.

"How far has this to be......"

At this moment, she suddenly jumped up on the bed with both hands, her slender arms lightly resting on my shoulders, and for a moment all I could think of was the faint fragrance of medicine that filled the air.

"Remember the 'prophecy' power I told you about it?"

As soon as the words fell, I was suddenly gathered by the ethereal thoughts, and almost instantly, the eager words came out of my mouth.

"What?! Are you sure it's true?! It can help me, help us-"

The high-pitched tone was interrupted by a little coolness against my lips, which were the soft fingertips of the eyes.

Indulging in the muddy silence, she stared into my eyes with an elusive smile on her ice-sculptural white face. In the next second, I completely lost the capital to resist and became a captive of the ethereal voice.

"Don't be too disappointed."

She slowly removed her fingers, and as she spoke, she turned her head to look at the idle tree man on the side.

"It's probably not as capable as you think...... Effective. ”

Hearing these words, my heart quickly turned cold, and the hope that was already scarce once again sank into the dark pool. But perhaps still holding a trace of unwillingness, I raised my eyes, looked at him and said weakly,

"So, what the hell can it do?"

When I finished asking, half of my face poked out from behind the dark green hair, but her jewel-like eyes still refused to move away. She whispered, as if she was explaining to me, as if she was simply talking to herself,

"It did allow me to witness many images, but none of them had anything to do with me now, some of them were memories that have existed for a long time, and some of them happened in the distant future. I see, I see—"

Suddenly, as if frightened, she opened her scarlet lips slightly, and the sound of rapid breathing could be heard between the ups and downs of her chest.

Finally, I don't know if it was out of fear or other unspeakable reasons, the half-spoken words were swallowed back into my stomach. She closed her eyelids tightly, and the trembling that permeated her body gradually subsided after a half-ring.

"In short, all those sights, experiences, whether they appear in the past, in the future, or in a time period that even I can't figure out, have a common character."

She frowned, as if she didn't have much confidence in what she was going to say next,

"Do you believe that there is a cycle in life?"

I thought what I was hearing was going to be some earth-shattering remarks, so that I couldn't resist the sudden question, and suddenly I had to reply hesitantly,

"Huh? Probably, I'm not sure...... But then why are you asking this? Does it have anything to do with what we're talking about now? ”

"Nope! Matter! ”

After speaking, she suddenly twisted her neck, her face filled with rare surprise.

Deeply immersed in the extreme weirdness, the girl who stood in front of me like an ink painting slowly spoke, and said a conclusion far beyond the scope of my cognition,

"Because those things all happened in previous lives and in future lives."

"Shishh, what ?!!"

I screamed, and I just felt my brain hurt,

"No, how is that possible?!"

Ke Yu didn't refute me directly, she folded her arms around her chest, and muttered for a long time before explaining word by word,

"Although I can only remember the story I told you before, there is one thing I can never forget - I died."

"Dead ......"

I repeated the words like a demented one, and my mind was already pure mush.

I couldn't understand it, and it was difficult to even understand the most basic ones, but Ke Yu's expressions, eyes, and movements clearly told me that she was serious, and she absolutely did not hide it.

Suddenly, the chill that seeped into the bone marrow climbed up my spine, and I suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be that the reason for this earth-shaking change was because she had already died once? Could it be that she is now the so-called reincarnation? Rebirth? And is this the answer to the fact that she was in a baby state when she first appeared in the forest, and the reason for her complete loss of memory?

In a trance, more strange questions surfaced, and I remembered that I had a sudden indescribable panic when I wanted to speak not long ago, if she could still see the future scene, wouldn't it mean that the cycle of death was far from over.

I couldn't contain my panic, and the muscles in my cheeks trembled with moans.

"What the hell do you see?"

Like a terminally ill old man, I could almost feel the passage of life between my mouth opening and closing.

This time, however, she was much calmer than I had imagined, and she exhaled a wisp of turbid air with an extremely slow block, and then turned her head, her eyes full of incomprehensible confusion.

"Maybe you should see for yourself, after all, in that future, there are still you."

Now, the choice is no longer in my hands, believe it or not, the only way out is the remnants from antiquity.

At this moment, every tissue in my body was in extreme euphoria, and if it weren't for the fact that I was still on the side, I am afraid that I would have rushed to the side of the tree man hysterically.

I tried my best to suppress the impulses in my head, and then I walked to the corner of the tower, looking down at the emerald canopy in front of me.

Before I could organize the words, it was already mindful, and countless colorful and twisted branches protruded from the canopy, and then extended, split, and spread before my eyes, until most of the space was enveloped in the lilac branches, and the sunlight was cut into jagged pieces.

Against this backdrop, I saw the stars flying, the sun rising and the moon disappearing, the mountains that were born on the earth collapsing, and the turbulent currents that traversed the rivers and seas drying up. I saw thousands of tall buildings turned into overturned ruins, and towering towers swept into dust by hurricanes.

All existence, all meaning, is dissolved in the intertwined branches.

Like the branches of a prison encircling me, my consciousness blurred as time passed.

The solemn darkness, the lonely abyss, faded in the paleness, and fell silent......

"Huh-"

I took a deep breath and struggled to open my eyes.

"This, this is ......"

As the rain poured down, I swept away the dirt from my eyelids with my hands, and my hair was stuck to my forehead like a worn rag.

Through the diffuse water vapor, a few bright lights emit a soft glow from afar, as if someone had mixed a little orange into the dirty canvas, and then used a brush to smooth and shuffle it little by little, until the boundary of the aperture sank into the cold and gloom, setting off the already dilapidated scene even more difficult to see.

"Where am I ......?"

As I asked, I struggled to prop up my upper body, my clothes stuck to the surface of my skin after absorbing water, and the wind hung on me, like a file cutting bones.

"Damn!"

Unable to continue to suffer from this disturbance, I shuddered and hugged myself, and crawled under a raised eaves somewhere.

Although the wind and rain still blow on my face from time to time, I have finally had a chance to observe my situation.

This is clearly not the warm and peaceful tower of the Treants, and the garbage and tangled wires scattered around it all reveal the shabby nature of this place. I turned my face and gasped to look at the far end of the narrow alley,

"...... Where the hell am I, where the hell am I?! ”

I was dumbfounded by what I saw, and I yelled as if I had gone crazy, ignoring the rain in my mouth.

I saw that in this rectangular painting surrounded by high walls, there were countless neon buildings in front of my eyes!

Streams of light swirled in the air, and intricate machinery was displayed on a giant screen that was thousands of feet high. I saw a man dressed in glittering clothes, a half-human, half-metal creature kneeling on the side of the street begging, and I saw a dazzling array of goods floating in the transparent window, and a head with delicate features was making an impassioned introduction to the guests. I heard unbridled laughter, I heard mournful cries, I heard the sharp popping of broken lines, and I heard a piercing alarm behind a smashed counter.

The whole world, the whole space, there is no superfluous, no place is wasted, all are all kinds of people, things, scenes, sounds, as if the craziest farce on the stage, the most chaotic imagination of the obsessed people.

"No one can get out of here."

Suddenly, hoarse words came, and I turned my head sluggishly and turned my gaze to the bottom of a nondescriptive, if not dilapidated, apartment on the corner of the street.

There, a window sash covered with wooden planks, and a snow-white light rushed through the cracks into the night.

I couldn't control my movements, and staggered to the window like a soulless shell, pressing my cheeks against the barbed plank, my eyes wide and looking in as if I were fascinated.

The dim living room, the messy garbage, and the half-human-high screen sit in front of the withered back.

It was as if a thin line hooked the musculoskeletal part of my jaw, and the sneaky voice escaped from my mouth in fear,

"Me too."

Suddenly, the tone of vicissitudes disappeared, and the figure slowly raised his right arm, holding the shining silver muzzle against his temple.

Bang!

With the sound of gunfire in the rainy night, the blood is like a beautiful flower blooming in the swamp.

The earth is still turning, and everyone is still crying and laughing.

People just enjoy the beautiful scenery while holding up a black umbrella that is enough to cover themselves,

Nothing more.

"Ahhhh!!h !! ”

I woke up screaming, and the sturdy ones at the edge of my vision were startled.

"What the hell is your name?!"

She asked hesitantly as she lifted me up from the bed angrily,

"Eh, you just ...... What do you see? ”

But now, it was as if my head had been carefully hammered with a hammer, and the memories in it were nothing more than a wandering hallucination.

"I, I don't know, which side is that about-"

But as soon as the words came out, I immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked anxiously,

"Wait, shouldn't it be a picture of the past life and the afterlife?! Why did I only experience one? ”

"Huh? Weird? ”

She tilted up exaggeratedly, looked at me from a strange perspective, and said,

"Then do you think you are seeing the past life or the next life?"

After listening to her words, I became even more confused, because let alone this, I can't even be sure if it is myself in that clip.

"Well, forget it, it's not too good to casually probe into other people's privacy, after all, there is still an important matter waiting for you to do."

Just when I stepped into the verge of going crazy with half a foot locked in my facial features, I came up, and there was inexplicable excitement in my expression. Although I was a little out of strength, I still cheered up and pretended to be interested and asked,

"Okay, you say."

"Hey, hey."

Seeing that I readily agreed, Yu immediately smiled and straightened up, pulled the slightly sluggish tree man aside and explained,

"Since others have helped you, then you should also repay your kindness. When you were unconscious, it asked me to tell you when you woke up, so that you could take this to the north side of the city. ”

As she spoke, she pulled the palm of her hand out of her pocket, and then slowly unfolded it like a child showing off a toy, leaking out the diluted treasure that was wrapped in it—

A silvery-white bell.
