After pouring out her thoughts, Pandora left the gate of the underworld, and Drowning didn't care about it, because there was so much to remember in the story.

What Drowning didn't expect was that Pandora, shortly after leaving, came back and got a little stronger.

This time, Pandora didn't get too persistent, she just tried to assimilate herself, as for the result... It's still a failure.

However, Pandora did not show any frustration, but sat quietly beside her and began to talk again.

In the days that followed, Pandora would visit the Gates of the Underworld every once in a while, then try to assimilate herself once, and confide in her once after failing.

The only thing that has changed is Pandora's strength, because every time she comes, her strength increases a little.

In this way, I don't know how many years have passed.

Over the years, Pandora has been consistent, she has been getting stronger, and she has been telling, and the idea of assimilating herself has not changed, of course... She has also been unsuccessful.

The continuous pouring has completely outlined the story of Pandora and the man, and unconsciously, drowning will substitute itself in it and empathize.

It's a good feeling, because it's undoubtedly much more fun and fulfilling than the boredom of meaning.

But... This feeling is also not good, because it is full of sadness and sorrow, and it makes me feel suffocated.

However, drowning loved the feeling because it was something it had never experienced.

Gradually, drowning seems to make the choice of the big dog understandable, but alas... I don't have a chance to leave the gate of the underworld.

At the same time, Pandora is getting stronger, and stronger, and even able to resist her own assimilation. But if you want to assimilate yourself, it is still an unknown.

Until one day, Pandora visited the Gates of the Underworld again, but this time she neither assimilated nor confided, just stared at a fragment of her soul, stunned.

This time, the drowning finally couldn't help it, so he used his consciousness to connect with Pandora.

"What are you looking at?"

Pandora was stunned for a moment, then asked rhetorically, "Are you... Drown? ”

"Yes!"

"You've always been conscious?"

"Yes!"

Pandora was silent for a while and asked, "Then ...... my confiding?"

"I hear it all! However, I also pass it on to the person you have in mind. ”

"Thank you."

Then, the atmosphere fell silent again, as neither was good at communicating.

After a moment, the drowning asked again, "What are you looking at?" ”

Pandora was stunned and said, "I'm looking at hope." ”

"Hope?"

Drowning was very puzzled, because it knew that Pandora, was looking at the fragments of the man's soul.

The reason why Drowning asked questions was just a little strange Pandora's reaction, but Pandora's answer made Drowning stunned for a moment.

Pandora's answer was very flat, just said lightly: "He once brought me hope, so he is my hope." ”

After hearing this, Drowning felt his consciousness suddenly pause, and during this pause, there was only a blank in consciousness.

However, drowning could not understand the meaning of the words at all, but remembering the girl's confession, it seemed that he could understand it a little.

Then, between one person and one water, there was a brief silence.

Because the drowning has been interpreted for a long time, and I can't decipher the meaning of this sentence, or ... In its interpretation, this sentence has no meaning with the original.

Drowning is like a big dog, and it has never given birth to feelings, so it can only be interpreted in a cold and mechanical way, and this... Of course, I can't decipher the strong emotions.

But it didn't matter, because there were many other doubts about drowning, so the topic was changed.

"Why do you want to assimilate me?"

"Because... This allows me to be there for him. ”

This answer is another difficult problem for drowning, because mentally speaking, assimilation has nothing to do with companionship.

It's just that, after remembering the girl's confiding, drowning seems to be able to understand the meaning of this sentence.

Then, the drowning gave birth to a desire to leave the gate of the underworld and go outside to see.

No... In fact, when the big dog left the gate of the underworld, he drowned and wanted to take a look outside, but his desire at that time was not as strong as it is now.

Because of the appearance of Pandora, Drowning found that outside the gate of the underworld, there are many things that it cannot understand, but they are very beautiful, so it very much wants to take a look and see these beautiful things.

It's a pity that there is no way to leave the gate of the underworld by drowning, because compared to the dispensable 'meaning' of the big dog, his 'meaning' is much heavier.

After remembering his 'meaning', Drowning said to Pandora: "Your assimilation will not succeed at all, because my 'meaning' is too heavy, so heavy that... Only when living things become extinct will my 'meaning' end. ”

"So, as long as my 'meaning' remains, your assimilation will not succeed."

Drowning thought that his well-intentioned advice would make Pandora give up her childish behavior, but the girl just lowered her head, and when she raised it again, her face was already full of stubbornness.

"What if... Am I willing to accept your 'meaning'? ”

Drowning was silent for a moment before he said, "My 'meaning' is very heavy, for living beings, it only brings pain and... Endless reincarnation. ”

"No, it doesn't cause me pain."

Then, Pandora pointed to the drowning fragment of her soul and said, "Because being by his side is my 'meaning'." ”

Drowning was going to continue to refuse, because of the long-term relationship, he had already regarded Pandora as a friend, at least... Know everything about Pandora yourself.

Therefore, drowning does not want Pandora to make some lifelong regrets, because there are some things that once they happen, there is no possibility of turning back.

It's just that... Pandora's words deeply touched the drowning. At the same time, it was eager to see the world outside the Gates of the Underworld, so Drowning made an offer.

"Even if you accept my 'meaning', you can't assimilate me, because the gap between us is too big."

"However, having the same 'meaning', we have the basis for integration. At that time, I will be you, and you will be me. ”

"Would you like to?"

Pandora didn't answer, just nodded firmly.

Then, Drowning whispered: "Because of the gap between you and me, after completing the fusion, you will be eroded by me." This erosion is inevitable because then you and I are one. ”

"If you want to resist my erosion, you need to be firm in your beliefs at all times, and this... It is also the only way to resist erosion. If you can't resist the erosion, those memories and feelings that belong to you will disappear,"

"So... Are you ready? ”

Pandora suddenly smiled and said, "I'm ready." ”

Seeing this, the drowning stool was no longer talking.

Then, the calm River Styx rippled, and then formed a whirlpool that could not be seen as far as the end could be.

Pandora just glanced at it and calmly jumped in, and in her heart, just whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm coming......"
