When dawn came, the stratus clouds opened.

I stood in the crowded streets, feeling the warmth of the morning light and dissipating the chill of the long night.

Like everyone else, I was born again.

After more than 700 days and nights, and more than 600 deaths, I think I have slowly learned how to enjoy the quiet time in the sun.

The city in front of you is in full bloom, and people passing by have carefree smiles on their faces, and birds will land on their shoulders from time to time.

This seemingly peaceful city is what I call it: a city without anything.

Because at night, everything from the towering high-rise buildings to the green bricks in the dirt disappears as far as the eye can see.

Based on my experience of being reborn more than 600 times, there are nine cities in this world.

During the day, all the cities are beautiful like peach blossoms. At night, different "monsters" and "safe houses" appear in each city.

The monster represents danger, and the safe house represents the hope of survival.

Those who die in the dark will be randomly transported to different cities and their memories will be erased. Those who survive until dawn are transported to the next city in order until they survive nine nights in a row.

So far, I've lived up to eight nights in a row, and I don't know what will happen after nine nights. But I want to believe that that is the end of my quest.

There are also many people like me whose memories are preserved after death, who consider themselves "heavenly chosen" and have established an alliance of "reborn" to seize the safe house and try to live until dawn with the advantage of the memories left by rebirth.

I was one of them, holding my place firmly with the rich experience of being killed countless times, but then, the alliance disappeared.

The last time I came to the city, it was five days ago. It was seven o'clock in the morning, and I remembered that soon there would be a dark cloud with rain in the sky, followed by a quarter of an hour of heavy rain.

In every city, the time the sun rises, when it is windy and rainy, and how long it will rain, are all immutable events.

By four o'clock in the afternoon I needed to go to the place where the safe house was present, and before that, I had nine hours to go. I left the street and headed to the theater, ready to revisit the films that were treasured there.

The glass door reflects me as before, and time has not left any mark on me, whether it be scars or wrinkles.

Approaching the entrance of the theater, the glass door opened automatically, and a sudden gust of hot air blew behind him, accompanied by an exclamation: "Be careful!" ”

In order to prevent the hat that dances in the wind from falling over my handsome head out of jealousy, I can only take the initiative to reach out and break its illusions.

It's a pity that in the end, the sunhat with a gardenia still got his wish.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

The girl apologized as she walked towards me with small steps.

She had long hair over-the-shoulder, a white openwork embroidered dress with the corners of the skirt covering her knees, and a pair of small white sandals on her feet.

"My name is Su Nuannuan! You can call me Su Nuan, you can call me Su Su, you can also call Su Nuan Nuan, you can also call Su Nuan Nuan! What is your name? ”

Su Nuannuan took the hat, and her sweet voice flowed into her dry heart like a sweet spring, and her big black and white eyes were occupied by a beautiful figure.

There was no doubt that the person she was looking for was me, and she was asking for my name.

But I ...... What is it called?

I hesitated for a moment, thinking about what to name myself. If she had asked me this question more than 300 days ago or 700 days ago, I would have remembered.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, since you like milk vetch, then I'll call you Yun! May I? The girl apologized to me and gave me a new name.

What is she apologizing again? It seems that I can't speak. If you think about it, she will forget about me after tonight, so it will be troublesome not to explain. I've always hated trouble.

Also, how did I not know that I liked the earthy flower of milk vetch?

I silently hid the purple-pink milk vetch bracelet on my wrist into my pocket, and the bracelet will automatically return to my wrist early tomorrow morning.

"As an excuse, I invite you to dinner! I know a shop where the private school dishes are super delicious! ”

Under Su Nuannuan's warm and sincere invitation, no, it was attracted by the fragrance of gardenias.

I couldn't resist the refreshing scent of gardenias, so I had to follow Su Nuannuan to a restaurant with few customers.

There are no service staff in all the facilities in the city, including cinemas and restaurants, which simply means: eat and drink as much as you want, watch and play as much as you want.

As soon as I sat down, an electronic menu immediately appeared on the table, "Flame Mountain Snowfall, Peerless Double Pride ......"

Even though it was written in a frenzy, I remained indifferent.

"I'm really sorry that I didn't grab my hat when the wind rose, but fortunately you are willing to forgive me, otherwise I will definitely feel guilty for a long time."

"Let's see if there's anything you'd like to try? This signature dish is these, order it first, are there any taboos? ”

I continued to shake my head, staring at the gardenia on my hat, feeling a little regretful that I had been deceived by the gardenia's delicate, weak, and somewhat haughty appearance.

Along the way, she recommended many dishes, and she didn't feel thirsty? Forget it, just take it as it is, wash your ears.

After the order was successfully placed, the menu disappeared, the center of the table was sunken, and then a pot of tea rose, Su Nuannuan skillfully made the tea, and said: "I hope this summer will pass so peacefully, and don't steam pork like last year!" ”

Last year? Every day in every city is the same day, how can there be last year? If I hadn't appeared in front of the door just now, this girl named Su Nuannuan would have had a beautiful encounter at this moment.

For those who have no memory after death, as soon as the day dawns, everything returns to the beginning, both in the body and in the mind. But for the Reborn, dawn simply means that a new game is about to begin.

This summer, presumably, will never pass.

"Spring, summer, autumn and winter, which season do you like? I like autumn the most, I want to go to the maple forest, I want to go to the ginkgo forest, just wait another four months! ”

Su Nuannuan counted the time with her fingers, counting from June to October.

What season do I like? Not really. If night doesn't come, then I should love the day in the sun.

"Drop!" A chime sounded in the center of the table, and plates of unnamed dishes were neatly placed on the table.

"This is the Flame Snow Mountain, you taste it, it's super sweet! No sweet, no money! ”

The irregular pieces of tofu in front of me are quickly crumbled into a pulp, and the minced meat foam is always reminiscent of unpleasant things.

Think about it from another angle, even if it is crumbled into meat foam, as long as it comes during the day, it can be restored to its human appearance.

Thinking about it this way, the discomfort seems to have increased a lot, and even after more than 700 days, there is still no appetite at all.

I automatically ignored Su Nuannuan's strong recommendation, I don't know why she ate so happily, as if she had won the jackpot.

Because on weekends, you don't have to pay a penny for these dishes?

"You're not hungry? I felt like I had been hungry for a long, long time, seven plus two, nine hours! Four meals a day, not enough! ”

Four Tons...... I quietly moved back, distancing myself from her. Based on past experience, it is easy to become irrational when you stay with such a person.

"Hey, if you don't eat it, then I'll eat it all! Can't be wasted! ”

After the meal, Su Nuannuan leaned back on the seat, like a well-fed little hamster, a very troublesome little animal.

"Alas! I said I was going to apologize to you, but I ended up pulling you to eat with me, I'm really sorry, do you need any help? ”

I seriously suspect now that Su Nuannuan just wants to find someone to eat with her, what is this called? A person is embarrassed to order too much, so he pulls a random one to make up the number.

"I can give you makeup, a bag, a shoes, a brick, a hooligan! I can do a lot, don't worry about sending me! ”

There are quite a few, as many as five. But, it doesn't work.

"That's right! I can still make you amused! You're so beautiful, your smile must be even more eye-catching! ”

Laugh? I don't know why, looking at the carefree smile on Su Nuannuan's face, I suddenly felt extremely dazzling and wanted to ...... Kneaded.

If she remembered the night, would she still smile as she does now? What kind of expression will she show?

Hideous? Fear? Despair? Or excited?

I'd love to take a look.

Similar thoughts would pop into my mind from time to time, and I would close my eyes to calm the terrible thoughts, and maybe it wouldn't be long before I would become something more terrible than a monster.

After regaining my composure, I dipped my finger in the tea and wrote a line on the table: "What would you do if tonight was the end of the world?" ”

Just take it as a kind reminder to the lovely juniors. Although it is not very useful.

Or, as a reward for washing your ears.

Or maybe I just want to know what a normal person would do before they die.

"The end is coming?" Su Nuannuan thought about this hypothesis seriously, and then her eyes lit up, as if she remembered a good place.

"Follow me!"

I meant to refuse, but my body was like a demon, and I had to follow her. At this moment, I was sure that there was a little curiosity in my heart about what she wanted to do. What would a normal person do?

"This is the Sleep Experience Hall!" Su Nuannuan pushed open the door of the experience hall and excitedly introduced.

Standing in front of the experience hall, for the first time in the daytime, I had the idea of turning around and trying to escape.

"Come, come, everything in the dream! You can also accomplish everything you want to accomplish! Isn't it particularly valuable! ”

Obviously, Su Nuannuan just wanted to sleep back after eating and drinking.

Looking at the comfortable experience compartments in the museum, I was not only very resistant in my heart, but my body gradually tensed, and the more relaxed and beautiful the place, the more uneasy it made me.

"Relax, I come to this store often, and no one will attack you while you're asleep! In a society governed by the rule of law, don't be nervous! Once the experience warehouse is closed, it can only be opened from the inside, relax! ”

"Are you insomnia? Upstairs there's a cabin dedicated to insomnia, I'll take you up! ”

The door opened, and a fresh fruity fragrance came, and a two-meter-long pink rabbit was placed on the fluffy and soft bed.

"Don't look at my young age, I have a lot of research on the treatment of insomnia! Listen to me from now on, you lie down first! ”

Insomnia? When was the last time you slept while you were alive? One hundred days or two hundred days? Or longer?

I should have felt repulsed by this soft quilt, but I couldn't refuse it anyway.

Maybe I'm still saved, and I'm still longing for someone to save me.

End this never-ending night.

Or, help me light a lamp in the dark to light the way back.

Su Nuannuan, do me a favor!

I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote down a line: "Do you want to live?" ”

"Huh? Who wouldn't want to live? Su Nuannuan smiled brightly and asked curiously, "Why are you asking this?" Are you doing some kind of strange research? It looks mysterious! ”

Hearing her answer, I was not surprised, and quickly wrote on the paper: "No, follow me." ”

Su Nuannuan followed closely behind me, like a curious baby, and kept asking in a low voice, "Where are we going?" What weird topics are you studying? ”

I didn't answer Su Nuannuan's slightly excited question, because after answering this one, there must be the next one.

Entering the clothing store, I found sportswear and shoes for Su Nuannuan as quickly as possible, as well as a coat.

"Chosen for me?" Su Nuannuan was flattered and took the clothes, and quipped: "Yun, are we in black and white couple clothes?" If you could talk, I would marry you! ”

"......" allows me to refuse.

Su Nuannuan changed her clothes, stood in front of the mirror and watched it for twenty minutes, praising from time to time: "It's so beautiful!" ”

I waited tirelessly, and finally I couldn't bear it anymore, so I silently found a pair of scissors and cut off my waist-length hair.

"Cloud! Why cut off such good-looking hair! Su Nuannuan turned her head and looked at the long hair that was thrown on the ground in distress.

Because hair gets in the way.

I used to think they said, "Your hair is so pretty!" It was a compliment, and I realized later that this was a euphemistic hint and a mockery.

"Are you going to trim it?" Su Nuannuan whispered.

I shook my head in refusal, turned to look at myself in the mirror, and although I had cut it many times, the effect was still not satisfactory.

It's better to have a good foundation, and it looks good no matter how you look at it.

Probably under the influence of Su Nuannuan, I couldn't help but look at myself a few more times, just as I was washing my eyes.

Where to find such a peugeot beauty? I'm the only one, no wonder Su Nuannuan can't hold it.

Look at the pair of black hiking shoes on my feet that have been with me for more than 700 days, no matter how many times I throw them away, as soon as the morning dawns, I will immediately come back with a new look.

Fully equipped, now there is still a watch missing.

Seven hours before 6 p.m., there was a watch shop on the way to the "safe house".

"Where are we going?"

Go where you can live.
