Chapter 252: Choice
Just as Jiang Rin called his name loudly, a faint figure really slowly appeared in front of Jiang Rin.
Morpheus's figure was like smoke, and his face, which was originally handsome and extraordinary, was now so white that it could almost be easily penetrated by the sun.
After three years, when Jiang Rin finally saw Morpheus again, she could no longer suppress the emotions in her heart, even if she didn't love him as hotly as Xiao Wangba, but in Jiang Rin's heart, Morpheus always had an indelible position.
Jiang Rin rushed forward, and her tears had already wet her face.
The embrace, the man who fell asleep with him, the Morpheus who hugged him tightly in the dead of night, was finally close at hand. Three years of restless sleep, three years of nightmares, three years of being strong, three years of helplessness, three years of expectation and longing, finally released at this moment, Jiang Rin, who has always been self-contained, couldn't take care of Xiaomei and watched coldly from the side, so he fell into Morpheus's arms with tears on his face.
The relativity of time, the more you desire the distance, the more distant it is. Jiang Rin only felt that when he ran towards Morpheus, although it was only a few steps away, before he could get his hug, the time seemed so long.
Long to ...... It's almost unreal......
Jiang Rin suddenly stopped, but Morpheus had already disappeared in front of his eyes.
She turned back suddenly, only to find that Morpheus, who was in front of her, was now behind her.
But why does the distance of a step seem so unattainable at this moment?
"Morpheus! Your body! Only then did Jiang Rin see the abnormality of Morpheus's body, and the Morpheus in front of him looked so weak and helpless, even his chest, which once made people feel reassured, became as transparent as paper.
What happened to Morpheus in the past three years? Why is the person who appeared in front of Jiang Rin at this moment so ...... Disembodied?
Morpheus's body presents a strange transparency, at this moment he seems to be a ghost who is not afraid of the sun, and the bright sunlight penetrates his body wantonly, shining on Jiang Rin's body without hindrance.
Jiang Rin, who was gradually approaching Morpheus, stretched out her hand and tried to touch the body of the person she hadn't seen for three years, but her hand, as if there was no hindrance, went straight through Morpheus's chest in an instant.
He's gone!?" Brother Mengjing, he ...... He had already given up his body three years ago. Xiaomei, who was standing next to the two, lowered her head, knowing that there was no need to hide it at this moment, so she ignored the agreement with Morpheus and told Jiang Rin the last truth that she had deliberately concealed from her.
As early as three years ago, when he was seriously injured and not healed, Morpheus had forced Xiaomei to forcibly escape from the confinement of the light ball water cocoon.
He dragged the body that was pierced by the demon, and despite Xiaomei's obstruction, he forcibly used his own origin power, using his own flesh as a weapon, and began to polish the four god seals day and night in a way that almost ended up together.
His physical body forcibly competed with the four god seals, and his soul searched for Horus's movements in heaven and earth in a decisive way.
For three years, Morpheus continued to consume his soul and sacrifice his body in order to make up for the sacrifices Jiang Rin had made when he was in Greece.
Xiaomei asked him why he was so decisive, but Morpheus always avoided answering.
But even if he was silent, Xiaomei actually knew the answer in his heart, all of this was nothing more than for his most beloved woman, Jiang Rin.
Even if it is paid to such a point, he would rather make a self-destructive sacrifice, such love, in Xiaomei's eyes, has long been unable to distinguish whether it is right or wrong.
But right or wrong, Morpheus worked quietly for three years.
Three years have passed, but finally at the moment when he is about to die, he has single-handedly broken the seal of the four gods that requires the joint efforts of the four gods to be unsealed.
If Xiaomei hadn't deliberately let Jiang Rin know about this today, I'm afraid that Morpheus would never see Jiang Rin again until the moment he completely disappeared.
Xiaomei knew that he was afraid that Jiang Rin would feel guilty and distressed when he saw his appearance.
But even so, Xiaomei couldn't bear it, so Morpheus disappeared between heaven and earth silently.
So last night, he deliberately moved the position of the four god seals, forcing Morpheus to show his body today, and the news that the four god seals had been unsealed was made public.
Xiaomei can see that her nightmare brother is running out of time.
So after discovering that Anta and the demon had made the decision to continue to love each other even if they were destroyed with the world, he couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart anymore, and helped Morpheus and Jiang Rin with such fanfare.
"Long time no see." Three years later, the first thing Morpheus said to her was nothing more than that.
"Little Mo ......" Jiang Rin looked at him, and stopped talking.
It's just that in her heart, she can't help but think of Horus again.
Morpheus smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, I don't have the power to help you drive away those terrible nightmares." ”
This broken and ethereal body is no longer the appearance of the dream king of the past, dragging such a broken body, even if Morpheus wants to bear the invasion of nightmares instead of Jiang Rin, he is already willing and powerless.
When Jiang Rin heard this, he just shook his head silently.
"I can't cook for you anymore." Morpheus continued.
Jiang Rin, on the other hand, just shook his head harder.
"You...... Gotta take care of yourself, you know? ”
"And ...... Don't eat those expired snacks anymore. Seeing that Jiang Rin had been silent, Morpheus thought that what he said was too heavy, so he made her so sad, so he hurriedly changed the topic to a relaxed direction and joked to Jiang Rin with a smile.
And Jiang Rin raised his head suddenly, and tears burst out of his eyes even more violently: "You big fool! Leave me alone, okay! Do you care about yourself? ”
"Why the hell did you do this! What can I do to help you get back to ......"
Morpheus didn't answer Jiang Rin's question, but Xiaomei finally couldn't bear it anymore and said for Morpheus: "It's useless, Brother Mengjing, he doesn't have much time left." ”
Jiang Rin's tears stopped abruptly in an instant, and she looked at the person in front of her in disbelief...... It's just such an ordinary and ordinary morning, but why did I usher in such unacceptable news!
Don't...... Morpheus...... Are you going to disappear into your life?
Morpheus moved closer to Jiang Rin and said softly to Jiang Rin, "Don't worry, I will arrange everything for you before I disappear." ”
Jiang Rin was about to refute, but unexpectedly, Morpheus's body suddenly shook, as if he was about to disappear at any time.
"Jiang Rin, my time is really running out, so you have to listen carefully to everything I have to say next." Morpheus's face turned pale again, and the transparency of his body was even thinner to a terrifying level.
He seemed to have really reached the critical point of disappearing, and Jiang Rin didn't even dare to breathe hard, for fear that disturbing the flow of air would cause his body to be invaded again.
"As my soul traveled through the timeline, the seemingly chaotic timeline was found by me, and I saw a loop of Ubis, and this seemingly perfect ring happened to have an almost imperceptible gap."
"I looked along the gap, and in that gap I saw you, and I saw Antima."
"The destruction of the universe is already the trend of the times, and the collapse of this world is only a matter of time."
"So, you have to make a choice."
"Antima's wishes, I can probably understand, she wants to destroy the world with the demons. In this way, the end of the universe may be slowed down by the sacrifice of Anti and the demons. ”
"But the future is something that people in the timeline can never see."
"And there is no right or wrong choice for Aanti."
"At that time, Anti once chose this universe and gave up his love."
"Today's Anti can finally choose her own love ......"
"Jiang Rin, since you have descended into this world and appeared in the gap of the Ubis Ring accurately, it also means that at this point in time, when Anti has made her choice, the rest is your choice."
"Whether you choose to let the cycle of time completely seal the ring, or give up this world and go to the depths of time, that is your freedom."
"But I know you can't let go of this world."
Morpheus's face became empty again for a moment.
"So, let me help you make your choice."
His body began to slowly dissipate with the flow of air, and his moonless eyes tried his best to see Jiang Rin for the last time.
"The girl who came to me in a gap in time, the one I love most in my life, forgive me for depriving you of the right to make your own choice."
After saying that, Morpheus used his last strength to put his hand on Jiang Rin's wrist, his face suddenly approached, and he wanted to be able to kiss her one last time when his life was gone.
But just as the lips of the two people were about to meet, Morpheus's body completely disappeared into thin air.
Jiang Rin's eyes widened, and his heart was torn, but no tears flowed out of his eyes.
"Brother Mengjing once told me that the enchanted bracelet was specially bought by me and wanted to give it to you, but I didn't expect to choose the bracelet you chose for Horus in the dark, a similar style."
Xiaomei covered her eyes and couldn't cry anymore.
"But Brother Nightmare won't let me tell you, he just put away the bracelet that should have been discarded when Horus couldn't wear the bracelet you gave him."
Jiang Rin raised his hand to look at it, only to feel that this bracelet, which carried his feelings for other men, was extremely dazzling at this moment.
"In the last moments of Brother Nightmares's life, he put a map in the bracelet on your wrist, which he helped you find, the map to where Horus is."
"And the bracelet he wants to give you, please also give it to Anti, because Brother Mengjing, I really can't bear to let you be sad because of the destruction of this world."
"Although he said that he helped you make the choice, he left an endless way back for you."
"How should I ...... in the future" Xiaomei wiped away her tears: "You can do it yourself." ”
After speaking, Xiaomei turned around and walked towards the door of the company.
Jiang Rin stood in place, behind her was Medusa who was about to leave; At her feet are Anti and Void, who have already made their choices; Around her was the completely vanished Morpheus.
Past, present, future.
Morpheus has paved all the paths for her.
If she wants to stay in her own world, then returning Morpheus's bracelet to Anti will allow them to send them to another world and save her own world.
If she wants to find Horus and give the universe a respite from the ever-advancing destruction, then she can use the power of Anthi's "freedom" to travel to another timeline by following the guidance of the bracelet on her wrist.
If she wants to live with her own consciousness, then let Anti and the void be destroyed together, and there will be only one self left in this universe.
If she doesn't want to live such a difficult life and live in the shadow of others as someone else's "doppelganger", then it would be good to save Anti from the world of destruction through the sacrifice made by Morpheus.
No matter how she wanted to live, Morpheus gave her the most freedom.
But even at the last moment, Morpheus still wanted to help Jiang Rin bear the consequences of the choices she made.
He didn't want her to be sad......
That's why he treated her so gently until the end of his life.
The elevator lights have been lit, and the unknown Anti and the demon have also taken the elevator up.
Xiaomei, who was about to leave, was already waiting in front of the elevator door.
Jiang Rin, on the other hand, was just silent.
The elevator door opened, and Jiang Rin held two similar bracelets in both hands, his left hand was him, and his right hand was him.
Anti and the demon stepped out of the elevator, and Jiang Rin finally made his choice.
She put both bracelets on her wrists.
"Hostess." Jiang Rin turned around and looked at Anti through Xiaomei's back.
"Good morning."
She said lightly with a calm face.
