……

In the end, the girl walked through the muddy road like a stiff tree and came to the end.

This is the end of the story, and it is also the end of her.

She didn't dare to say goodbye to Avis, she couldn't face it, she knew that there would be an Ann who was exactly like her to tell them the bad news, and they would have a story, but it belonged to her-

An Ningning's trip ended here.

……

According to her memories of the last scene, she found a huge oak barrel hidden in the comics, which contained the token of the Overlord of the Sea of the South Sea, as depicted in the comics, and she opened it, and then, bending down, before she could see what was inside, she was caught off guard and fell into it.

There seemed to be bottomless darkness and emptiness, so that she could hear her heartbeat clearly.

She didn't have time to feel the weirdness and uneasiness of this, she only stared at the darkness with her eyes open, and the blue sea and blue sky, waves and white gulls in her mind in the past four years, and the wanton and carefree smiles all flew in front of her eyes.

Her eyes were terribly sour and painful.

The smile on the gentle young man's lips seemed to still appear in front of him, tilting his head, leaning against the door of the captain's room, his lips closed and he spoke.

But she couldn't hear it.

She looked at him with wide eyes, anxious and panicked, tears already pouring out of the corners of her eyes, but she didn't notice it.

Suddenly, slam thump!

It was like returning from utopia, the earthly world re-revealed, and the strange and familiar hustle and bustle of the city filled her ears.

She was stunned.

There is no gentle boy, and there is no captain's room.

Everything at sea was gone—the wars and fires, the adventures and friendships, the tastes she treasured in her heart, long gone.

The corners of her mouth bent, her expression was sad, she seemed to be smiling rather than laughing, she seemed to be crying instead of crying, her wet eyelashes did not blink, and she looked at the void blankly like this, and it was not until a long time that she felt the strangeness of her body posture.

She lowered her head, but saw that her hands were maintaining the motion of tying a charm around her neck

- And the ornament was small and cute, but it was so familiar that when you looked closely, it was exactly the same as the oak barrel!

She was startled and came back to her senses, only to realize that she was standing in front of the strange newsstand again.

"Girl, you're really lucky, because it's the last word, and the thousandth customer will get this souvenir." The boss's figure was hidden behind the magazine, "What's wrong?" Can't you wear it? ”

"Huh? No, I can put it on. She subconsciously hurried.

"Here, here's the magazine you bought."

On the cover, the blue sea, the sailing ship, and the eye-catching headline...... It's exactly the same as the one the girl gave her.

She felt a pain in her heart, and she didn't want to look at it anymore, so she took it straight and went back in the direction of home.

The city is still normal, with pedestrians coming and going, congested vehicles, lonely and lively.

The girl looked down, hurriedly, but did not notice—or no one else noticed—but for a moment the newsstand in the alley was gone.

Or, in the eyes of everyone, the newsstand never existed.

……

After having dinner with An's father and mother, An Ningning, who was left alone at home, stood absentmindedly in front of the window, looking at the gray-blue sky under the gray-blue sky, and the flock of pigeons raised by the family in front of him hovering in the air.

"Girl, do you feel disheartened? Are you feeling emotionally lost? Are you—"

A voice suddenly came, so that she was so stunned that she almost didn't jump.

She hurriedly looked around, but the voice did not appreciate her nervousness and fright in the slightest, only she interrupted and paused, and continued to add kindly-

“…… Feeling depressed? ”

"Girls don't have to be like this~ because you can't change it in any way~"

An Ning didn't care about listening to what the voice said, only followed the sound, and finally found the source - two fingers carefully pinched the decorative wooden barrel tied in front of his neck, and looked at it in front of him for a long time.

Only then did he say vigilantly and slowly.

"Who are you?"

She frowned and thought for a moment, "The overlord token of the South China Sea? ”

"No, no, that's just a cover to lure you in, and the real token is still on that island." The voice was full of joy and pride.

"And who are you?"

"I'm the cutest being in the world!"

The other party replied quickly and firmly, but he didn't waver at all about the girl in front of him.

An Ningning glanced at it expressionlessly.

"I'll ask you one last time."

"Who are you?"

The other party smacked his lips, and was a little impatient with her, so he said angrily.

“…… I system. ”

An Ning couldn't help but pluck her ears-

"Wait, wait, you say, you're a bucket? What barrel? Family bucket from Guangzhou? ”

"......" didn't want to speak.

After the two people, or one person plus an unknown creature, finally reluctantly negotiated, she remembered what she had just said and asked, "What did you mean when you said that there was no way to change it?" ”

"Well, this means that Noah's death is doomed, even if you save him this time, there will be similar situations and similar experiences in the future journey, and he will make the same choice in such a similar choice." The system said calmly, "So, as a comic book author, the irreversible plot that has been decided, no one can change it." ”

An Ning Ning didn't speak, and it wasn't until half an hour that she said softly, "What would have happened if I had chosen to save him in the first place?" ”

"He's still going to die."

"And you won't come back alive."

"-Either you, as Ann, will die because of the failure to compete for the Sea Overlord, or you will be lucky enough to survive and will be in that world for the rest of your life and will never return." Afraid that she didn't understand, the system added very "thoughtfully".

She stared straight at her reflection in the window, and for a moment she snorted and laughed miserably.

"Forget it." As she said this, the emotion in her eyes was not discerning.

"What about you? What are you doing with me? ”

"That world is over." She asked lightly.

The little wooden barrel was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise, "I don't belong to the system of a world, I am the little cutie who will accompany you in the future!" ”

"From now on, we will be accompanied by Hongchen, galloping horses, going to the sky and entering the earth, omnipotent!"

"Girl, are you looking forward to it?"

"...... No, she wasn't looking forward to it at all.

According to the scumbag author's routine, as long as Danfan gets into trouble with the system, it will be difficult for his future life to calm down again.

Thinking of all the strange things she had experienced up to this point, and glancing at the small wooden barrel in her palm, she rubbed her temples, closed her eyes, and sighed resignedly.
