PS: (Seriously, Ben Meow hesitated for a long time, whether to use the text in "Broken Jade".) In the end, the idea of writing a good novel overcame Ben Meow. This is the best way to write it, although it will cost you an extra six cents...... ）

The round door appeared in front of the boy's eyes, emitting a soft light. With a smile on his face, he walked inside.

At this time, he only had gratitude in his heart.

―――――

I'm always dreaming.

Soft, sweet, intoxicating dreams.

I don't want to wake up because all that awaits me when I wake up is a dark and silent world. There was nothing there, and what my skin touched was always cold and made me shiver. Can I still make a sound? Maybe, but I can't hear it. I was afraid that the unintentional language would hurt other people, so I stopped talking.

What am I talking about?

What I'm talking about, is that really what I think?

I do not know.

The waking hours are getting colder and colder, and loneliness haunts my heart all the time.

I like to dream,

Dreams, perfect dreams......

Better than the so-called reality.

―――――

Behind the door is a peaceful world, with only a small dirt road leading to a small wooden house not far away. The sun hangs in the sky, spreading a warm light in every detail. Flowers bloom on both sides of the road, giving off a charming floral scent. Butterflies flutter over the flowers, and the crisp chirping of birds echoes in the sky. With every step you take out, patches of green grass will grow on the ground beneath your feet.

It's like a dream.

"It's such a beautiful scenery, and only a truly kind person can build such a beautiful dream. Hey, cute (9), cute Pacouli, dashing head maid, cute Remilia, cute Flandrew...... I'm such a fool that I should have thought of this result a long time ago. Well, it's been in the last days for too long, and I don't trust anything. If only Ke Yi were around. She was sure that Ke Yi found out in the first place. ”

―――――

I wasn't born this way.

I also have a happy family. Dad, Mom, and Brother, everyone regards me as the pearl of their palms. Friends, happy relationships, I've had all of them. Elementary, middle, and high schools. I am also the brightest star in the eyes of my teacher. After graduating from high school, I was admitted to my favorite art department.

At that time, I seemed to be a collection of thousands of loves, until that day.

I distinctly remember that it was my engagement ceremony. Originally, everything was beautiful, and happiness seemed to wrap me like warm water. I can't help myself. However, on the way home, the car came on. The screeching of brakes from cars, the sound of violent explosions. Blood, screams, pounced on my loved ones. The touch of blood, hot and sticky.

What do I see? What do I hear?

Death.

Wish.

That was the last clear memory I had of this world.

I know, it was a car accident. I also know that I am the only one who survived.

But I'd rather die.

Everyone is gone, and even the sound and images are completely gone.

All that was left for me was the cold touch.

I want to die. I'd love to see them.

But I can't.

They left me the hope of life, not for me to squander it wantonly.

How am I going to live?

I don't know, I don't know......

Where am I?

Where exactly am I?

I don't know, or I don't know......

I want to live, to continue the life that I can't live.

It's the only reason I live.

I want to dream about all that I have lost.

I wasn't born this way.

I also have a happy family. Dad, Mom, and Brother, everyone regards me as the pearl of their palms. Friends, happy relationships, I've had all of them.

―――――

At the end of the road is a wooden house, small and chic. The wooden door was slightly open, as if expecting someone to push it in.

"A dream is a reflection of a person's heart. In this case, the person who dreamed of this wanted someone to enter her inner world? No, the door is open and not locked. This feeling...... It's like when my sister left the door for me. I see, are you waiting for someone? A warm smile tugged at the corner of the boy's mouth.

―――――

It's painful, it's painful!

Someone is tearing my clothes!

Who is it? Who is it?

What is my resistance in the eyes of the other party? Dying struggles?

Don't, don't!

Help me, who's going to save me......

―――――

The boy gently pushed the door open.

―――――

It's over......

I felt a familiar touch on my hand again.

Hot, sticky - the sensation of blood.

Did anyone save me?

Ha, a step too late.

No, I shouldn't hate the person who saved me.

So who should I hate?

Hate whom!

―――――

On a bed made of petals, the girl fell asleep peacefully. The long eyelashes twitched from time to time, and the corners of his mouth curved into a gentle arc.

Are you dreaming sweet dreams?

The dappled sunlight shone directly through the cracks in the wood, like a gentle little hand caressing the girl.

"It's a pity, I'm not the one you're waiting for......"

―――――

What is this warm water droplet?

Yes. It's tears.

Is that man, the one who saved me, weeping for me?

Why?

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you......"

This voice reverberates in my heart. It's so warm.

"Who are you?"

"Me? Just a pathetic savior. ”

"Savior?"

"Ah...... But I can't save anyone, I can't save anyone! ”

"No, you saved me."

―――――

The boy walked towards the girl step by step, and his heart was warm.

I will help you find the person you are waiting for.

It's not about repaying the favor, it's just about wanting to do it.

Help the good guys. I'm going to be a good guy too.

You say yes, Barcelos?

―――――

The people who saved me stayed with me for a long time. He told me everything I saw, through the voice of the heart.

Warm, but full of sad voices.

During that time, I didn't dream.

I crave more love.

Little by little, the pain and despair of being raped dissipated, and I once again experienced a feeling of happiness.

I want to be like this forever, I want to ......

But the world has once again robbed me of my happiness.

The end is coming, and we are cut off from the world.

Hesitant, helpless.

I'm so hungry.

It's cold.

――――――

The boy gently held the girl's shoulders. Shake carefully.

――――――

It's so warm.

This is...... Fire?

The aroma, the aroma of the food.

Getting hungry.

What was put on your hands...... Food?

I'm so hungry, can I eat?

Can you eat stranger's food?

No, I can't help it.

Hmm, it smells so good! This is instant noodles, it should be instant noodles!

It turns out that instant noodles are so delicious......

Tears, uncontrollable.

I know it's the end times. When I was still in good health, I also read novels and movies about the end times.

Food. It's precious, isn't it?

Why, waste precious food for such a me?

"Alas, the world is getting harder and harder, and there is only so much to eat."

"Eat slowly. And there's more. Hah, she can't hear it. ”

"Well, I think if you put your mind to it, your voice will pass through your body."

"Sister, will you?"

"yes, it will."

I heard that. I heard that!

But I can't say anything......

Did hearing be exchanged for sound?

I want to tell you that it's not worth it for me like this......

"This big girl is crying, what's wrong with choking?"

"Instant noodles don't choke people, right...... Uncle. ”

"It's said that Lao Tzu is not an uncle! Just look a little older......"

"Well, I got it, uncle."

“…… If it had been before, I would have to cut you. ”

"I know, you used to be a fool of the road, uncle."

“…… Uncle is uncle, it's better than being a gangster. ”

"Abandon the darkness and turn to the light, uncle."

What a warm conversation......

I'd love to join in.

The heart is not so cold anymore.

At this moment, I suddenly understood the meaning of my survival.

I want to help other people, people like me.

My pain, my despair, cannot be repeated by more people.

But I'm just a disabled person, what can I do?

Can I really help others?

"Yes."

A voice suddenly sounded in my heart, the same voice as the savior.

Is that you, is it you?

"It's not."

Isn't it...... I really want to see him, I want to.

"Yes."

Can you let me see him again?

"I can't, maybe in the future."

So, I just have to wait?

"Yes."

Wait, do I have the ability to wait...... I want to save people like he did, and I don't want to cause any more trouble to the people who help me. If I keep waiting, I'll be a burden to them, right? They gave me precious food. It is already the greatest gift to me. Blindly asking for it will only make both parties miserable.

"I'll help you."

Do you have the power to help me?

"My duty."

Who are you?

"Emerald heart."

―――――

"Wake up, it's time to get up."

―――――

I started dreaming again, but not to escape.

More and more people are coming behind me. Quiet life.

I can shelter them and give them a little happiness in this sad world.

That crisp voice, they are laughing, right?

As long as I can laugh, I'm satisfied.

Is this the sweetness of salvation?

I hope you are also by my side and share this sweetness with me.

I'll wait for you. In this truly sweet dream.

―――――

The girl's eyes moved and slowly opened. The corners of her mouth still have that soft arc, as if she is still reminiscing about the sweetness of dreams.

Dreams are only the power to save, and the overflowing smiles on other people's faces are the reason for the smiles.

Everything, completely different.

"Well, I'm a checker who cleared all of them......"

The girl nodded.

"Can you give me a reward?"

The girl nodded again, and the sunlight formed a line of text on the ground.

"Pick it up now?"

"Hmm. Also, the red Meiling and the little devil in your dream...... Is it a real person? ”

"Yes. I don't know if it's them, but all of them are real, at least in my dreams. The entire Gensokyo game circle is built based on their memories. This is also one of the limitations of my abilities. Speaking of which, are you the one they are waiting for? Well, you look like you want to take them. ”

"I'm sorry, I had a reason to have to take them."

"I know, it's the devil, right, they mentioned it."

"That's right."

"Can I help?"

Xu Tianshi was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic.

Time is on the top, our Super Red Lotus Group is going to have a LV6 again!

"Yes, of course! Why, though? ”

"The power gained for salvation. It can only be used for salvation. There are too few people I can save here, so you should be able to save more people. Everyone in the back is also a good person, and will definitely agree with my approach. But my abilities have to be fixed in one place, is that okay? ”

Save? So familiar......

"It's okay, it's okay. That's right. Do you know Barcelos? ”

"Who's that?"

"Well, someone who wants to save others as much as you do."

"Warm people."

While they were "talking", the dreams turned into light and dust and melted into her body.

The dream faded, revealing the real scene behind it.

It's a small village. Bungalows, fields. The rooster crows to form a harmonious beauty.

The twenty or so villagers had satisfied smiles on their faces, and the "dead" Patchouli was among them.

The girl looked silently at the place where the villagers were, and said nothing.

There is no need to speak either. The bond between her and them goes beyond words, and a subtle expression can understand each other's thoughts.

"Don't worry, we will definitely follow you, didn't this have been settled a long time ago?" The burly man spoke with a thick northeastern accent and looked at her dotingly.

The girl smiled contentedly.

"Tsk, there are so many people, it looks like Direction 2 is going to expand again...... In other words, can the treasure still be transformed? Forget it, if you can't do it, you can make a bigger one. Time is on the horizon, shouldn't you just build a mobile city or something in the future...... Let's just build a flying castle in the sky. The boy muttered to himself.

"By the way, what about my reward?"

The girl smiled slyly.

The Northeast man patted Xu Tianshi on the shoulder and said narrowly: "Dude, you didn't receive the reward directly?" You're at a loss, the potion can only be used in dreams. Hehe, but it's also pretty nice to be able to experience a superman. ”

That, in fact, I'm the superman you call in your mouth......

Laughter spread among the crowd, and even the girls with the Super Red Lotus Regiment laughed.

Although, no one knows why to laugh. (To be continued.) )
