Isn't it merciful to forcibly erase any of them, but to let the two Xiao Lan freely choose their own life and death?

At the moment when Felicia asked like this, "Xiao Lan" answered in a deep voice.

"Yes—no mistakes."

The voice was assertive, but no one could deny that it was a little confused.

So the girl restrained herself from laughing and said, "Sure enough, even if you have the same memory, even if you have the intellect of this body, you are still not human, because your feelings are just simulated, like a machine to judge what is right and wrong through the knowledge in your memory...... That's right, the same goes for the "Two Rituals", her curse on the Creator does not come from her feelings, but from the judgment of knowledge in memory.

If I were Xiao Lan and I encountered this situation, what would I choose to do - all your thinking and judgment are basically such things, right? ”

The man's confusion is gone.

He froze, then laughed again, feeling like he was laughing at himself.

"Maybe you're right......"

"The emotions that life possesses are uncertain factors that cannot be measured according to the laws of chaos, and they may be connected to the absolute things that we really do not have......"

Just as this sadness is not faked, or maybe it really is not, he sighed and said, "But even so, my choice will not change, because if I were Xiao Lan, then I definitely don't want to disappear so casually, without even having a chance to resist and choose." Even if this is a simulated mind, it is indeed a desire they have. So I chose to fulfill this wish of theirs......"

Then he paused, and looked at the girl with a really fatherly gaze, "And such a wish." I've left you one too. As an unqualified father, my right is also your thing. Although it is not yet complete Tai Chi, I can still fulfill most of the wishes of human beings. ”

"—So, what do you want?"

Only in this moment did he look like a true god.

But in the same way, Felicia is also wondering, did she really make the right judgment?

She didn't know. But he still said what he wanted.

“…… Even if it's just 1 in 10,000, can it give me a chance to achieve a happy ending? ”

"I'm sorry."

That's all he answered.

That's enough.

"So......" The girl shook her head sadly, sobbed a little, and then responded to his gaze.

It's not desireless. It's not that they don't believe each other.

She replied, "I don't." ”

So he closed his eyes and said, "Really?" ”

“…… Well, even if you say that everything can be achieved, I still firmly believe in the principle of equivalent exchange. If you accept this wish. Maybe there's something else to pay for right there. ”

The man stopped talking, just exhaled softly.

It was a great pity, but it also had the taste of letting go of my heart.

Then he turned around and stared at his own reflection on the lake.

It's like looking at something important that you can't see again.

"When I first woke up, I felt like it was pure boredom, I don't know if it was called emotion, but it was my feeling. That's right, what a boring Xiao Lan. It's a boring reality, it's a boring thing - me.

Isn't this body the way to what is called the root? When I first woke up. This body still hadn't differentiated into two complete Taiji, and at that time I could know the development of everything in this world line. It's painful, it's boring, it's pointless, because it's just going on on a fixed path, and in the end it's the same as before. So it would be nice if you could sleep all the time, don't dream, don't think, keep sleeping, and even if this body decays one day, you won't notice that the dream is over.

But because the "two rituals" interfered with fate, the inhibition jumped out and was corrected, and the future began to be no longer the only one that did not change, and at that time I began to have a little interest in understanding, so I didn't let myself die when I woke up, but why I want to live that belongs to "", I don't know......"

His words melted into the lonely darkness as if they were buried in falling snow.

The girl didn't answer anything, just silently looked at his back.

What does this mean exactly?

She thought she would know, but now ...... That may have been a wonderful misunderstanding.

And then.

The man raised his head and looked out at the black night sky.

"Well, then, it's time for me to go. Felicia...... Although you don't want anything, but I still send you a piece of information, because there is no restraint in the current world line, and the future is chaos that cannot be observed, so although I can't decide anyone's fate, this also represents the infinite possibilities of the future...... Your wishes, which will not be fulfilled by anyone else, if you want it, pursue it yourself. ”

“…… Let's end it like this, the next time we meet, it's really to say goodbye. ”

In the past, he resigned himself to fate, and in the end he was worried about right and wrong.

The past rebelled against fate, and finally paid the price.

In the past, we looked directly at fate, and finally came to ask for reasons.

People can't live as they want to be - the story of the struggle of people who are angry and sigh at the cruel reality of this cruel reality.

That's life.

But this life does not belong to him.

Who is really lonely......?

After a long silence, he slowly drew his gaze back to the end of the white night.

The eyes that stared at the night contained sadness like a thin frost.

From his mouth came a faint whisper that was not spoken to anyone, nor was it heard by anyone.

"Live as a matter of course, die as a matter of course."

Ah, that's really-

“…… It's very lonely. ”

Looking at the darkness that has not ended, and has not even begun, "Xiao Lan" at this moment said so.

In this way, Felicia watched as he closed his eyes, and then watched the silver-haired man slowly collapse in front of her.

She stepped forward and gently held it up.

The time limit for fusion has not yet arrived, and the two consciousnesses that have closed themselves have not yet awakened, and "Xiao Lan", who belongs to the consciousness of the body itself, has left by himself, and in this case, he can't even instinctively defend himself, which may be the first time in the history of the two of them to be in the most dangerous state of defenselessness.

But it's not dangerous at all.

Gently holding the man who was sleeping like a baby, the girl waved her hand and sprinkled a few glimmers of light around her, quickly building an enchantment.

There are no more qualified guards than her, or enemies who can penetrate her guard, there is absolutely no one in this world.

But it wasn't the problem that bothered her.

The snow in front of him was still falling, and white splinters filled the darkness.

Slowly, like a feather, it fell.

- Goodbye.

"Xiao Lan" said so, but she didn't answer anything.

The guy just said that and left easily, only to be left with such a big problem for himself.

After the two of them woke up, how was she going to speak?

So he let out a long sigh.

She silently sat beside the sleeping man, quietly looking at the sky in the falling snow, as if she wanted to wait until dawn in place of someone.

Then, half an hour passed.

It suddenly dawned on her that she might have more time to think about it.

The effect of the fusion had been lifted after the time had arrived, and the silver-haired man who had merged had turned into two Xiao Lan again, but the slumber of the self-seal had not been lifted, and I don't know if it was because they had set themselves too deep, or because the nothingness in their bodies had completely surfaced and caused some uncertain changes.

But she wasn't worried, but relieved.

Both of them were in a stable state, without any signs of mental or physical injury, but were serene like newborn babies.

Such a restful sleep, two people probably haven't experienced it since they ended their childhood, right?

Then sleep well.

The snow was still falling, and when the world was surrounded by gray, she led the two of them on their way home.

In the white snow, the black that disappears into the morning sun is the end of the night.

Slowly, the loneliness faded away, but it didn't seem lonely.

I'll talk about the rest tomorrow...... (To be continued......)
