Many times, a small change can change fate, a bad environment affects human nature, and a good character can save lives.

Jiang Chenchuan slowly opened his eyes, it was still the familiar little black room, but the window was opened, the sunlight poured in from outside, and Dorotia was gone.

It felt like a long time had passed, but in fact, Jiang Chenchuan knew in his heart that not much time had passed since he fell into the illusion.

"Gotta find a way to get out."

Looking back on this experience, it is as if I have seen all of Dorotia's life.

"Mr. Ewell."

Dorotia pushed open the door, holding today's food in her hand, she called Jiang Chenchuan, looking at the corners of her mouth slightly hooked, it seemed to be more cheerful than before, no longer so gloomy, full of resentment towards this world.

"Did you buy it early in the morning?"

"Yes, I brought this, they can't see my face, they don't know my identity, so naturally they will be polite to me."

Dorotia took out a black cloth and shook it, and it was cut into the shape of a mask, which was much better than before.

"Did you buy the medicine?"

Jiang Chenchuan asked casually.

"Bought it...... Over here! ”

Dorotia replied cheerfully, it was rare to hear her lively tone, Jiang Chenchuan could also feel some relief.

It seemed to slow down, and they seemed to have a calm and warm time.

But fate seemed to have deviated from the original trajectory, and Jiang Chenchuan could sense that danger was slowly approaching him.

It was obviously a warm spring, but there was a cold snap coming, and the low temperature for several days made Dorotia, who had not healed from her wounds, start to have a fever, and she continued to have a low-grade fever, This sudden accident made Jiang Chenchuan a little hurried.

Jiang Chenchuan didn't have much experience, he really couldn't take care of it, and the sick Dorotia couldn't even eat, so in desperation, he could only find a way to make her have a fever first.

After trying all kinds of methods, his body temperature returned to normal slightly, and he could hear Dorotia's faint cough every day.

It seems that it is too different from the witch in reality, and Dorotia's existence is getting weaker and weaker, and sometimes, it is even difficult to feel her presence.

In order to adapt to the rules of the illusion and survive, Jiang Chenchuan would do some simple work during the day, and then use the money he earned to buy some food and water.

"Mr. Ewell......"

On this day, as usual, Jiang Chenchuan was ready to go out to work, but Dorotia, who had been sleeping and recuperating on weekdays, woke up rarely.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Chenchuan turned his head and saw Dorotia sitting up from the bed with difficulty.

"Today...... Can you come back sooner? ”

Dorotea asked timidly, with a look that seemed to be pleading, like a poor puppy waiting for his master's warmth.

"Yes, don't worry."

As if having received a satisfactory answer, Dorotia lay back down in peace.

Working day after day is not difficult for Jiang Chenchuan, but because of the influence of the foreign pavilion, he has lost some perception of the judgment of time, so under the confusion of the illusion, it is difficult for him to judge how much time he has come in.

In the evening, the sunset turns the sky a shining orange-red, and the blue-purple night sky is a beautiful sight.

"I want a copy of this medicine."

In order for Dorotia to recover as soon as possible, Jiang Chenchuan went to the nearest pharmacy to buy some treatment drugs as soon as he got off work.

But suddenly, there are ancient singing voices echoing in the streets and alleys, obviously not belonging to the city, but no one notices the strangeness in it, as if there is an invisible singer standing on a high platform, telling something to the people in the city.

Jiang Chenchuan, who had just picked up the medicine, instantly froze, it was a familiar voice, Jiang Chenchuan raised his head, wanting to find the source of the singing.

"Witch."

The blue eyes were low, and the so-called peace was about to be broken, and it just so happened that it was just a false predicament.

Ignoring the puzzled gazes of the others, he put down his medicine, grabbed his cane and walked out, following the sound to search, and finally saw a familiar black shadow standing on the city wall.

But just a silhouette of the sun shows a completely different temperament from Dorotia, even though they were the same people.

The witch, who seemed to feel the gaze, turned around, and the song came to an abrupt end at that moment.

The unknown bird circled in the sky, and the witch standing at the highest place jumped down, and her figure was instantly submerged by the stone wall, Jiang Chenchuan immediately chased after it, and over there, it was the direction of the city gate.

This is still the first time he has arrived at the city gate of Ronalque, and he has tried to leave before, without exception, all of them have failed.

At the moment when no one was resting, Jiang Chenchuan chased the figure of the witch and left, the speed of the black shadow was not fast, but it kept a certain distance from Jiang Chenchuan, as if it was ......

"You're trying to lure me away, aren't you?"

As if poking at something, the witch's figure suddenly stopped, if it weren't for the words that Dorotia had given him when he left home this morning, maybe he would really have left Ronalc City.

"So, the key to the illusion is Dorotia, of course, it's you...... Witch, too. ”

Jiang Chenchuan spoke slowly.

Not really

There is a response, according to the witch's character, not responding is her biggest response.

It seems that he guessed it all.

His hands supported his cane, which was his only reliance in the illusion, and it seemed that as long as he held a weapon, he could easily deal with all dangers.

During this time with Dorothea, I can empathize with how Dorotia stepped into the abyss step by step.

Perhaps her survival is the greatest revenge of the gods against Ronalk City.

"Make a choice, Mr. Ewell, you'll be interested."

It seemed that there was something in common, and the witch suddenly turned around, and under the black hood was the familiar red lips and the sense of oppression that rushed to her face, of course, this atmosphere did not make Jiang Chenchuan feel uncomfortable.

"I'm interested?"

Jiang Chenchuan was a little curious, what else could be done now, more important than leaving the illusion.

"Two roads, go forward, you will see the truth that destroyed the city of Ronalque, and turn back, perhaps...... It's just that you can see Dorotia. ”

The witch's gaze looked farther behind Jiang Chenchuan, Jiang Chenchuan turned his head and saw the thin figure of Dorotia standing at the gate of the city.

She seemed to be in a hurry to go out, and she didn't even have time to put on her shoes, so she ran out barefoot, her eyes were full of anticipation, and she looked in the direction of Jiang Chenchuan with her eyes.

It seems to say "don't go".

Come to think of it, in the past, she never seemed to ask if he would go back earlier.

"What did you say to her?"

It was easy to guess that the witch must have said something to Dorotia for her to react so unusually.

"It's always easy to destroy someone, let him have an unattainable desire, satisfy him, and then take away all the sweet dreams."

"Dorotia has grown up, and she will have her own judgment."

Jiang Chenchuan turned his head and said calmly.

"Don't call me by name! It's disgusting. ”

The witch's face was full of disgust, and although this was her most common method, she felt uncomfortable every time she saw her younger self talking and laughing with her enemies.

"But you have to admit that in this illusion, you are you, and Dorotia...... It's her. ”

Jiang Chenchuan naturally pointed behind him, but he didn't notice that under his movements, Dorotia's dim eyes suddenly lit up.

"Whether it's me or her, at least today, you have to make a choice, whether you want to get the truth you've been pursuing, or leave this fictional fantasy."

It seems that as long as she sees Jiang Chenchuan embarrassed, the witch's purpose will be achieved, as long as others are in pain, she can be happy.

But those are just appearances, and in a deeper place, there must be some kind of secret hidden.

"Do you have to choose?"

Jiang Chenchuan replied unhurriedly, he slowly turned around and walked towards Dorotia.

"You...... What do you mean! ”

Seeing that Jiang Chenchuan made a choice, the witch didn't seem to be very satisfied with this result.

"Are you sure you want to give up? I know you're planning to go to Ronalque, and if you don't know the truth, I can guarantee you, all of you...... will all die! ”

The witch said loudly.

And Jiang Chenchuan had reason to believe that what the witch said was correct, but he still did not change his decision.

Towards Dorotia.

Seeing Jiang Chenchuan walking towards him, Dorotia smiled in surprise, and she waved happily at Jiang Chenchuan, as if waiting for his arrival.

"Dorotia, you're still sick, why did you run out......"

As soon as I touched my pocket, I remembered that I had just put the medicine in the store in order to find the witch's traces.

"You won't ...... Do you really want to die in Ronalk City? ”

There was something incredible in the witch's eyes, she couldn't figure it out, according to her understanding of Jiang Chenchuan, he shouldn't choose himself.

A man who is rigorous and calm, with a little anger, and focused on the goal.

…

Jiang Chenchuan didn't have much experience, so he really couldn't take care of it, and the sick Dorotia couldn't even eat, so in desperation, he could only find a way to make her have a fever first.

After trying all kinds of methods, his body temperature returned to normal slightly, and he could hear Dorotia's faint cough every day.

It seems that it is too different from the witch in reality, and Dorotia's existence is getting weaker and weaker, and sometimes, it is even difficult to feel her presence.

"Today...... Can you come back sooner? ”

Dorotea asked timidly, with a look that seemed to be pleading, like a poor puppy waiting for his master's warmth.

"Yes, don't worry."

As if she had received a satisfactory answer, Dorothea lay back down in peace

Go.

Working day after day is not difficult for Jiang Chenchuan, but because of the influence of the foreign pavilion, he has lost some perception of the judgment of time, so under the confusion of the illusion, it is difficult for him to judge how much time he has come in.

The unknown bird circled in the sky, and the witch standing at the highest place jumped down, and her figure was instantly submerged by the stone wall, Jiang Chenchuan immediately chased after it, and over there, it was the direction of the city gate.

Again, he came to the city of Ronalque and reached the address of the city gate for the first time,

Many times, a small change can change fate, a bad environment affects human nature, and a good character can save lives.

Jiang Chenchuan slowly opened his eyes, it was still the familiar little black room, but the window was opened, the sunlight spilled in from outside, and Dorotia was gone.

Dorotia replied cheerfully, it was rare to hear her lively tone, Jiang Chenchuan could also feel some relief.

It seemed to slow down, and they seemed to have a calm and warm time.
