Chapter 15: When I Wake Up

PS: It's been a double shift for three days in a row, and I admire myself. Seeing that I am working so hard, everyone must support me a lot, thank you. ps, thank you to the book friend Death Legion Falling and Harmony in the Chaos The two of them each rewarded 100 starting coins, and I also thank the friend who paid for my monthly pass, thank you.

Familiar dreams, familiar deserts. For a hundred years, I have never fled from here, I wander here forever.

Every night for a hundred years, I have stepped on such yellow sand, looking at such a silver moon, and the feeling when stepping on the gravel has long been engraved in the depths of my soul, and I will never forget it for a moment.

"This time, is it the turn of the earth?" I felt the urge to laugh at the scene in front of me, which would have caused a deep shock to ordinary people. Even if the scene is shocking, if it can be seen every night and every dream, it will lose its due shocking power, and even take on a strange funny.

"Hahahaha. I couldn't help but laugh wildly at the black, round, door-like black hole with a radius of ten meters at the edge of the wound of the earth, but I slowly fell to my knees, slowly bent down, and rubbed my face against the rough gravel vigorously.

"Kyle, Kyle. A gentle voice came from behind me, a gentle hand resting lightly on my back, and without looking back, that heroic and resolute face appeared in front of my eyes, an extremely determined, unflinching face: "Poor Kyle, why do you still come here every day?"

"yes, why? I want to know. I stopped torturing my face and looked up at the sky stupidly: "Why is it that whenever I think I have fled, the familiar dream reminds me that I will never leave?"

"I thought I could be redeemed by facing my past, and I was right, but I was wrong. ”

"Face the past and face yourself. This does give me the courage to face my mistakes, to face my sins, so that I no longer run away, but. But they can't save me, they can't get me out of sin."

"I face the world with my true heart, I no longer hide my shortcomings, I no longer hide my emotions, I no longer hide my desires. When I met friends I knew in the past, they all said that I was like a different person, ha, in fact, they couldn't know, my heart still hasn't changed, remorse and self-blame still continue to gnaw at my heart, still imprison me here, and I can never escape. ”

"I know that all this is my deserved reward, for the sins I have committed. I have to endure eternal pain and remorse, but when I see them, I am so jealous. ”

"They obviously have a sad past, they obviously have desolation and remorse, they obviously have anger and anger, but why can they laugh so happily every day, why can they live so freely every day?"

"Every time I see their smiling faces, my remorse increases, and maybe, we can be like them. I spend every day happily and happily, but alas, everything is ruined by me, isn't it?"

"That's my sin. ”

I'm sitting in the desert. Like a madman, muttering crazy things that others may not understand. This is my dream, and only here can I express my vulnerability and despair.

"Poor Kyle. "You hugged me from behind, and the warm hug made me feel like I was back in time, back to the days before the last battle. Let me enjoy your tenderness again after a hundred years. The familiar embrace, the familiar movements, the familiar scent, everything is so familiar, so familiar that I can't help but choke.

"My Nelly, my love. I closed my eyes and greedily enjoyed this moment that could only have been dreamed. Yes, I have lost you forever, forever, forever, irretrievably. The sweetness, the warmth, and the love of the past were all buried by my own hands, and now all that is left is eternal loneliness and endless nightmares.

"My love, I miss you. My voice can only be heard by myself, and my thoughts can only be felt by myself: "Even though I am a sinner, even if I have made unforgivable mistakes, I still want to tell you that I miss you." ”

"I'm sorry to you, maybe I can only tell you like this in a dream. I hope to hold your hand again, look up at the night sky side by side with you again, and fight against strong enemies back to back with you again. It's a pity, all this can only appear in a dream, even if you are still there, you will not forgive me, forgive this cowardly and despicable me, not to mention, you have ...... It's gone. ”

"I'm sorry, my loved one, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

"My Kyle, my love, my partner. Your voice is still so familiar, low and with a peculiar rhythm that you won't get tired of hearing it no matter how many times you hear it: "Is it really only because of remorse and self-reproach that you can't escape from here?

"Who the hell are you?" my body trembled, trembling uncontrollably, and a thought that I had never dared to imagine suddenly swirled in my mind: "You're not just a phantom?"

"You're wrong, I'm just a shadow, I'm just a memory, I'm just a dream, just the dream you crave the most. I can even feel your breath blowing in my ears like a breeze on a summer night: "It's time, it's time for you to wake up, goodbye, my love." ”

――――――――――――――

Pannis woke up to the dim morning light.

Sitting up, holding the quilt and staring blankly at the morning light outside the window, Pannis just sat like this, without speaking or moving. After doing this for a long time, Pannis let out a soft sigh, a shallow sigh with a sadness that bordered on substance.

"Is it my dream that I crave the most?" Pannis smiled self-deprecatingly, "My longing is really extravagant, hehe." ”

"Brother Pannis, you're awake, I'm hungry, when are we going to have breakfast?"

The sudden voice frightened Pannis, who had just half got up from the bed, to the ground: "An An, why are you here?"

The little banshee sat cross-legged in the air, her big eyes flashing, and she watched with curiosity as Pannis slapped herself on the ground, as if she had a strong interest in this action, and she also learned from Pannis's appearance and spread her limbs on the ground, giggling while giggling and saying, "Of course I'm here." Brother, did you forget? You promised last night. ”

Yes, Pannis remembered at once. Yesterday was the first day after the New Year, and after half an all-night stroll outside in the early morning, everyone went home and fell asleep. Wait until you wake up in the afternoon. No one went out, and the family spent a leisurely afternoon lazily in the Western-style pavilion together, like a group of ordinary people lying in bed, drinking tea and fighting, completely putting aside the pressure of the life of a professional, and completely forgetting about fighting. Enjoy this difficult holiday to the fullest.

But before going to bed at night, the little banshee Anne suddenly had an awkward trouble, and had to pester Pannis to sleep in his room, although Pannis was resolutely opposed, but little Annie teary-eyed took out the reason that she used to lie in bed with her parents every New Year, and Pannis had to agree in the murderous eyes of other girls. Of course, the main Pannis was also afraid that Annie would make further requests, such as that she was sleeping with her parents, so he asked Pannis to find her a mother or something like that at once.

"Huhu, I really forgot. Scared me. Pannis smiled helplessly, and stretched out his arms to the little banshee who was still lying on the ground pretending to be a carpet: "Let's go, let's go cook breakfast together." ”

The little banshee happily flew into the air, happily threw herself into Pannis's arms and sat on his arm, pointing to the door like a commander: "Target kitchen, go!"

When I went downstairs, I found that the magic energy lamp based on the energy system of the entire Western-style pavilion downstairs had been turned on, and the living room that had been in a mess last night had been cleaned up as usual, and all the furniture was covered with dust-proof cloths or newspapers, but the living room was empty. Only a rhythmic shout and the sound of metal crashing came faintly from the small training ground behind the mansion.

"It's Sister Catherine doing morning exercises. "Sister Catherine really worked hard, and she would train for hours every day at home. ”

"What people want to get, they have to pay for it. A few of them were already attacking the Golden High Rank at such a young age, and all of them were envious and jealous of them. But who knows the price behind them?" Pannis sighed and whispered, "Who can see Catherine's arms and legs hidden under the armor, those cumulative scars that can't even be erased by healing magic, and those bones that you know have been broken and healed countless times when you touch them? Who would know that the magical genius is so troubled by headaches all day that he can't even move without magic?" The genius of the pastor, but the heart is forever sunk in the endless darkness of pain and despair, and it is precisely because of this that her faith in hope is more and more indestructible. ”

"Brother Pannis, so serious. The little banshee laughed and tore Pannis's face into a strange expression.

"Yes, I've been here for a long time, and I can always hear people outside talking about their jealousy of the lucky ones, but unfortunately they don't understand that they may be lucky to get talent, but there is no lucky way to play talent. ”

"What about you, Brother Pennis?" Anne changed her expression for Pennis, who was now struggling with his new hairstyle, "Why can't you see Brother Pennis, you pay for your current ability?"

"I? I've already paid the price. Pannis laughed self-deprecatingly again: "Whether it's dreams or reality, I've paid an unbearable price." ”

"Bang. The entrance door of the Western-style pavilion was slammed open, and Lina ran in waving her right hand, holding a roll of newspaper in her hand: "I didn't pick up the newspaper yesterday, it's a big deal, something is wrong." ”

"What's the matter?" asked Pannis, lazily, "Has the wedding been canceled?"

"No, it's much more serious than that. Lina shoved the newspaper into Pannis's hand: "Look, the heart of the years was stolen the night before yesterday. ”

Pannis was stunned for a moment, unfolded the newspaper, and the front page read with a huge headline: The Heart of Time mysteriously withdrew from the auction and was suspected of being stolen. Below the headline is dense small print, which describes the details and the current progress of the investigation. Of course, to sum it up in the simplest words, the progress of the current tracking is no progress.

"Well, I think I get it. Pannis said with a strange expression: "I finally understand what it means that one or two people told us that they needed to do something that night and delayed. ”

"I seem to understand what you say. Lina's expression immediately became strange: "It turned out to be these two guys, no wonder such a simple commission also asked them to come together." (To be continued.) )
