Chapter 22: How Beautiful This World Is

An endless sea of irises.

In the sea of flowers, Hong Ye only sees himself.

He never imagined that he would be in such a wonderful world.

There are flowers everywhere, and it's beautiful.

How nice it would be to live in such a world all the time?!

He thought so.

But he knew it was impossible.

He knew he was in a dream.

A beautiful dream that Melinda built for him.

This dream does not belong to him.

Nothing here belongs to him.

And he just found himself in such a world.

- He walked into a world that was not his.

This world, how wonderful.

He was intoxicated.

His expression was full of joy and satisfaction.

It is his luck to be able to see such a picture, to be wrapped in boundless irises.

And this luck is only once.

He'll wake up.

When he wakes up, he will face everything he has to face.

- Today is the day of Hongye's execution.

- This is his best wish.

Before entering this dream, he said to Melinda, "Show me a wonderful world, so that I can temporarily escape the pain of living in my own world before I die." ”

Melinda fulfilled this wish.

So, she brought him here.

This dream was originally constructed by her for Su Che, and it was also for herself.

She allowed Hong Ye to walk in, and Su Che acquiesced.

Of course, Hong Ye is not alone in this dream.

Sucher is here.

Melinda is also here.

It's just that they stayed away from Hongye and hid in a place he couldn't see.

They didn't want him to know that they were here too.

Especially Sucher.

Although Su Che already knew everything about Hong Ye, he didn't want Hong Ye to see him.

In Su Che's heart, Hong Ye is a devil, although he is very wise, he is even more perverted.

……

……

"This case can be closed by now, right?"

"Not really."

"Are there any mysteries that can't be solved?"

"It's not."

"Then why can't it be over?"

"The Twelve Women ......"

“……”

"As long as they can't escape the psychological shadow of captivity, they will never be able to get out of the nightmare."

"To live, for them, is really suffering."

"So, it can never end."

"Hongye, bastard...... I really hated him. ”

"Me too."

"In that case, sister, why do you still want to fulfill his wish before he died?"

"He lives and suffers all the time."

"Do you pity him?"

"Maybe. There is also pity where there is hate. ”

"But I pity the twelve women even more."

“……”

"They have been rescued by the police, but they can't help themselves. They are still slaves, prisoners of the wilderness. ”

"I have an idea."

"What's the idea?"

"Let them enter such a dream."

"Well, that's a good idea."

"In the face of such a world populated with irises, their psychology will change somewhat, right?"

"Let's give it a try."

"Okay."

And so it was settled.

……

……

Before Hong Ye was tortured, Luo Feng went to see him.

He handed Luo Feng something wrapped in newspaper.

"This is for that beauty, pass it to him for me, thank you."

"What is this?"

"Something I always carry with me."

"Amulet?"

"Personally, I think it's a devil's joke."

Luo Feng didn't open it privately.

He gave it to Melinda.

Melinda, in front of him, opened.

It's a red cross.

On the cross, a line of text is inscribed:

"Where is heaven? The world is purgatory. ”

Seeing this cross, seeing the words engraved on the cross, Melinda didn't say anything.

She closed her eyes and thought about it.

The memory was transferred to the scene in the prison visitation room, the history of the development of human spiritual civilization in Hongye.

The first thing he questioned was the existence of God, Jesus, and heaven.

He was such a wise and terrible man.

Everything he said at that time, to this day, she can't tell whether it is a fallacy or a truth.

Luo Feng looked at her and said, "Now Hong Ye has been punished. ”

“……”

"This case is closed for the time being."

“……”

"Thank you for your active participation, so that this case can be solved as soon as possible."

“……”

"I know, you help me...... No, it's not for any honor to help us solve the case, and we can't give you honor, but, the person above said, you can make a request, and if we police can do it, we will definitely do it. ”

"Find the twelve women for me."

“……”

"I'm going to see them alone."

"What do you want to do?"

"Soothe their wounded hearts and do your best to erase some of the wounds in their hearts."

"What are you going to do?"

Melinda didn't answer him.

Luo Feng suddenly thought of something, and didn't ask any more.

……

……

In a dream.

Secretly watching the twelve women in a sea of irises, and with a smile on everyone's face, Melinda knew that such a treatment was the right one.

She said to Su Che: "I didn't expect this 'dream healing' to be so effective, as a dream builder, I discovered the medical effects of dreams for the first time. ”

"Maybe you didn't notice it, but you didn't care."

"Well, yes. Whenever I'm upset, I go into some dream of my own making,—— in fact, I've been using this healing method to soothe my soul, but I haven't extended it and used it elsewhere. ”

"Actually, what is the point of the existence of dream listeners and dream builders in this world? If you think about it, maybe we can find the answer from the original motivation. ”

"What's the answer?"

"Making the world a better place."

Melinda was shocked.

She had thought of many answers to that question before and after becoming a dream builder, but she never thought the answer would be this one.

And this is the answer that seems to be completely correct.

Close to perfection.

It is possible to completely reject other answers derived from that question.

Yes, no matter what kind of dreams we have, no matter what kind of work we do, the purpose of everything is to make the world a better place.

This answer may be the meaning of our life.

And Hong Ye is too selfish.

He just wants to make himself a normal person.

As a result, the more he wanted to get it, the more he couldn't get it, he not only became more and more abnormal, but also made his psychology deformed.

The reason why he has been suffering and suffering all the time is because he can't make what he thinks beautiful, and in this world, he can't see the good side.

Melinda remembered the cross he had given her.

The cross was on his body, and even more so on his heart.

He walked his life with the cross on his back, how could he not feel that life was very tiring, very bitter, and could not see hope?

Melinda suddenly thought of something again-

When Hong Ye died, he may not have carried the cross.

He gave her the cross before accepting the execution.

From this point of view, at the end of his life, did he not throw down the cross on his body and heart?

Before dying, Melinda takes him to a world where there are only irises.

He saw beauty in the world.

Perhaps, it was such a dream world that changed him.

He walked without burden, very easily.

- Living in this world, for him, there may already be something worth remembering.
