The red-haired girl's expression was strange, as if it was a mixture of joy, worry and fear. She took out her hand and slowly approached Li Jia's face.

Li Jia...... This is the last time. I've searched every inch of this place...... You're the last one, right?"

Li Jia was stunned and let her touch her face, and he wondered: "...... are you?"

She seemed to be about to cry: "Do you remember?!"

"You're a very important person. Li Jia felt a pain in her heart, like her heart stopped beating.

"Look around you! this library, here, here, and here!" she said, outstretching her arms and growling, pointing around with her teeth and claws, as if she didn't recognize these places, and that the end of the world was coming.

"And my dress, do you think of anything? look, look!" she tugged at her skirt in front of him, as if to stick it to Li Jia's eyes.

"Here, this dress, I am very familiar. But ......" Li Jia thought as he held his head, and he felt that his head was about to crack.

"Fire!" she cried, "remember? I watched from the distant mountains as the fire burned half of the sky. ”

"Fire?yes, here...... , I remember there was smoke and fire, there were a lot of people running around, they were fighting the fire. Someone else was injured. I remember that someone rushed in later, and water gushed out from all over the house, who rushed in? Ah! It was Xiao Chen, it was Xiao Chen who used the magic scroll in it! I remembered, but, but what does this have to do with you?" Li Jia looked at the red-haired girl in confusion.

The red-haired girl turned her head slightly, her eyes no longer looked directly at Li Jia, and asked, "Do you remember what you were doing before the fire?"

"When the fire started...... I'm not there, I'm from ...... , coming back from outside the school, where there is a tunnel. I'm going to ...... Go and send someone away. ”

"I'm the one you're going to deliver! I was wearing this outfit at the time. We've walked around this campus and been to this library before that. At that time, you and I couldn't talk much, only calling my name over and over again: Selinda, Selinda!" Selinda wiped her face with her hands, as if to smooth out the scars on her face so that Li Jia could recognize herself. Tears flowed from her fingertips, dissolving with the blood. She didn't understand why people shed blood and tears in this world where there was only spiritual power. But she felt that at this moment, she needed to let the tears flow freely and take away the grievances in her heart.

"You, don't cry. Li Jia stretched out her hand to help Selinda wipe her tears, and stopped there halfway through it and said, "Selinda...... I think the name is familiar. Moreover, there is always a feeling, a feeling that I can't figure it out, and this name has a very important relationship with the fire of the book. But I was scared and didn't dare to think about it, as if once I figured out the relationship between them, it was all over. ”

"Do you feel it?"

"What does it feel like? I feel like my memory is stuck in my neck, and I can't think of it. It was a suffocating feeling, and it was very uncomfortable. Li Jia said with a bitter face.

Selinda glanced up at the stairs, and she could feel the danger looming. She knew very well that when those monsters came back from the upper floor, she would not be able to protect Li Jia, and this might be the last consciousness. Even, she herself could fall in this place. She didn't know what death meant in this world, but it could be seen from the monsters that had fallen earlier that turning into a point of light, integrating into the world, and becoming the nourishment of Li Jiazhu's consciousness and other distracting thoughts was obviously not a good result.

"I set the fire. Selinda looked at Li Jia and said slowly, her voice trembling, proving the weight of every word in this sentence. "I think you've had such a guess in your mind, but you've never dared to say it. Now that I've told you, can you remember?"

"You set the fire? You and I came to the library just to set the fire?" Li Jia looked at Selinda with his mouth open, this sentence was like a heavy hammer breaking the shackles in his mind, and countless bits and pieces of memories appeared in his mind, like pieces of pieces put together into a puzzle, and countless puzzles were connected into a coherent picture.

He and she met by chance.

He talked to her awkwardly.

He took her around the school.

He looks for the right gift for her.

He took her to the library.

...... Then a raging fire broke out in the library.

He thought back to himself in the firelight, panicked outside the library, he recalled the doubts that had sprung up in his mind, and he recalled the speculations that had tormented him through the night. It turned out that these things that he thought had been left behind never faded away in his memory, but were deeply precipitated in the sea of consciousness.

"I remembered. Li Jia said, "You, me, the fire, and why are we here." ”

"Hate me?"

"I don't know. I once said to them that with you, I will not sacrifice their interests in any way. However, this fire turned my promise into a joke. Perhaps, I should hate myself, why ...... So ......"

"Can't resist my temptation?"

"That's not your temptation, it's the temptation to leave loneliness. You just stand in front of me and show the real you in front of me, and then I am attracted to you. ”

"Do you think that peasant girl is the real me?"

"I've always felt like that's who you really are. ”

Selinda was stunned for a moment, sighed and shook her head: "A naïve peasant girl will not set fire to the building, nor will she peek at other people's holy scriptures. ”

"I firmly believe that is who you really are. The real you are depends on what you are, not what you do. There are always a thousand reasons for us to do things, and we can even go against our hearts, but there is only one kind of heart. ”

Selinda was a little uncomfortable with his insistent gaze, and she asked, "When you wake up...... Will you leave?"

"Leave?" Li Jia was silent for a long time, "No, I think I'll stay." He squinted at the ceiling and said, "They're coming, get out of here." ”

"Have you regained control of your spirit world?" asked Selinda.

Li Jia nodded, he stretched out his hands and grabbed them into the void, and then pulled them, and a pitch-black gap appeared between his hands. He let out a low roar, exerting all his might, and the gap was slowly opened.

"They're coming. Selinda picked up the kitchen knife on the floor and stared at the staircase. Soon, the first monster screamed, like a big spider, and sprang at it with its hands and feet.

"Come on, I've opened the door. You go out first. Li Jia had already opened the door to a width of more than a foot at this time.

"You go first. Selinda held two knives in front of her, "I can still resist a few blows." But you don't know how to fight. ”

"You forget, I am the master of this world. Li Jia said. He stretched out his hand, and a bookshelf rose into the air, more than two meters high and more than a meter wide, and the heavy iron bookshelf, along with the books on it, smashed towards the monster that rushed over. The monster was first dazed by the hundred or so books, and then crushed to the ground by the heavy shelves.

Li Jia said "go" to the boning knife in Selinda's hand. The knife was like a fairy sword, and it broke away and stabbed into the monster's head. The monster let out a reluctant scream, and then dissipated as a point of light.

"You see, I can protect myself. Go for it. ”

"Hurry up, too. Selinda didn't dwell on it any longer, glanced back at him, and walked into the passage.

Not long after Selinda left, the remaining three monsters rushed downstairs. Perhaps because they felt Li Jia's strength, the monsters did not attack alone, but formed a fan shape and confronted Li Jia with fierce eyes.

One of the monsters, shaking its long claws, said, "We are all one, I feel it, you have given up." ”

Li Jia glanced at him and sighed: "My miscellaneous thoughts are such an ugly monster, I am really a sad person." ”

The monster sneered, and its terrifying limbs slowly shortened, and finally turned into a handsome young man. "That's just the need to fight, we, like you, are human consciousness. ”

"You're just a collection of desires, where are you?"

The young man sneered: "Aren't people slaves to desires? without desires, people are just a puddle of dead meat, just like yours now." You don't think you have the face to appear in school again! Then let me live for you! Isn't it just to be Selinda's husband and Xiao Chen's friend? I can do it, I can do more!"

Li Jia lowered his head silently. The young man snorted, beckoned back, and pounced with two other monsters. But just as the two monsters were charging forward, the young man deliberately slowed down and fell behind. While the attention of the other two monsters was focused on Li Jia, he launched a surprise attack from behind. I saw that his arms swelled instantly, and his hands turned into claws again, and they were cleanly inserted into the back of the heads of the two monsters. The two monsters didn't even snort before they turned into points of light.

The young man stretched out his claws again and grabbed Li Jia, but at this time, Li Jia's heart moved, and with a wave of his hand, an iron cabinet flew into the air, blocking his claws.

"Aren't you dead yet? Isn't it your choice all along? I'm not like those crazy thoughts, I'm your ambition. I've been thrown in the corner by you as a distraction from the beginning, but don't you think the world is more suitable for you like me to live now?" the young man's paws pressed against the cabinet, which creaked unbearably.

Li Jia looked at the young man through the cabinet hanging in the air. In the eyes of the young man named "Ambition", there is a fire beating. It was the flame of arrogance and faith. Li Jia's gaze gradually softened. The cabinet in the air lost the support of its mind and fell to the ground.

"Good. I will inherit your wishes, but not your timidity. "Ambition" approached Li Jia step by step, and the tip of the claw was getting closer and closer to Li Jia's throat, "Don't worry, I am you, you are me, what awaits you is not death, but rebirth." ”

"Remember your promises. Li Jia lowered her hands and closed her eyes.

Just when the sharp claws were about to pierce Li Jia's throat, "Ambition" felt a strong wind hit behind him. He ghostly dodged the slash that slashed at him, then turned and clawed his assailant away.
