Chapter 129: What Kind of Person Am I? (10,000 words)
[Sequence Event Hint: The monster will automatically disintegrate after 2 minutes.] γ
[Sequence event begins.] γ
The train began to move its cold steel body, faster and faster, and rumbled through the dark tunnel.
The doors were closed, and there was no room to get out of them.
As the sequence of events began, 55 Tokyo citizens appeared in cars 11 and 12 one after another, sitting in the left and right rows of seats, crowded to death.
The citizens had strange expressions, their throats were dry, and they spat out voices of incomprehension and confusion.
"Why are we here, shouldn't we have been watching the battle in another dimension just now?"
"I can't move, I can't move at all, what about you?"
"I can't move either."
Anson Lu put his hands in his pockets and looked around tiredly, "Really...... I'm tired enough. β
He tried to hold the handle inside the carriage, but failed.
His fingers passed through the armrest, as if his body had turned into air - as the rules say, he couldn't touch anything in the carriage, and could only direct the citizens and Juliu to move.
Anson Lu sighed lightly and turned his head to look at the three people who were standing still, "Juliu, Cosimo, and Kamidai Ruri, confirm what the system is in your bag space, and give me feedback." β
Cosimo's expression was wonderful.
The three of them were like a doll, following Ansonlu's orders with unmistakable accuracy.
"A can of gas spray." Yuliuu said.
"A lighter." Cosimo said.
"A knife." Kamidai Ruri said.
Anson Deer thoughtfully, "Gas and lighters...... Small explosions? β
After a pause, he looked at Kamidai Ruri, "As for the Taidao...... It can be used to compete with monsters. β
The manipulable factor for this sequence of events is - 55 citizens, 3 players.
The event will only be successful if at least 20 citizens and 2 players will survive.
If successful, the first 30 dead citizens will be resurrected, and all dead players will also be resurrected.
That said, there are two main points:
1. After success, only the first 30 citizens will be resurrected, and the total number of citizens will be 55 - only by surviving at least 25 citizens can an immortal ending be achieved.
2. Only 2 players need to survive - sacrificing 1 player is allowed, as all players will be resurrected.
At the moment, with the blockade skill, Yuliu and Cosimo are obviously not very combative.
That god Ruri can undoubtedly become that victim, because she still has at least one sword.
Speaking of this, Anson Lu turned his head and glanced at the eyes of the gods.
Cold sweat slid down Ruri's cheeks, and her eyes seemed to say, "No, little chess player, are you really going to sell me?" βγ
"Come on." Anson Lu sighed meaningfully.
Suddenly, there was movement in the next car.
"Ahββ!!!h
A shrill wail was heard.
Anson Lu listened to this wail and came to the conclusion in his heart: The monster appeared from the 11th car, then I have to let the citizens of the 11th and 12th cars run to the back of the 13th......
"All citizens, run to car 13, don't look back, run all the way to car 16 at the very end!"
The sound of Anson Deer cracked the rocks and clouds, and soon spread through the two carriages.
In an instant, the citizens of cars 11 and 12 unlocked the right to run: the citizens of cars 12 got up from their seats and ran to car 13 with a roar.
As for the citizens of car 11, they were not so lucky.
Because, a monster covered in blood and with countless bone spurs protruding from its body has already started a massacre in car 11.
"Bang!"
The monster stretched out its right arm and aimed it at the door between cars 11 and 12, and its right arm turned into a twenty-meter-long bone spur, which shot forward in an instant.
"Poofββ!!!
Nearly twenty or so citizens, like barbecue skewers, were strung together by the monster's bone spurs, and then, blood flowed out like a waterfall, staining the entire carriage red.
In car No. 11, only a few citizens managed to escape.
[Current number of citizens: 31/55]
"Isn't it......" Anson Lu's face was solemn, "In an instant, 24 people died?" β
I saw that the bone monster restored its right arm to its normal state, and the 24 citizens who had been strung together before suddenly fell to the ground with a "plop".
Their eyes were hollow, and the lacerations in their bodies were constantly bleeding.
The Bone Monster was running fast, almost two or three times faster than the world sprint champion, and in an instant it was in car number 12.
"Liuli-san, go and hold that monster down, you can be resurrected if you die anyway." Anson Deer ordered.
In an instant, Kamiyo Ruri pulled out the sword from his sleeve, and his body swept towards the bone spur monster.
"Boom!"
"Bell!"
The resonance of knives and bones kept coming out of the train car, and even the rumbling sound could not cover it.
The god of the glass moves quickly, and the hands are quick and the eyes are fast.
She kept circling around the monster with her sword, and she seemed to be at ease.
However, after two or three moves with the monster, she tried to use the blade of the ether knife to fend off the monster's bone spurs.
It was a bad decision.
"Bang!"
The blade shattered in an instant.
Kamidai Ruri's chest was pierced by bone spurs, blood splattered, and her beautiful eyes dimmed.
From beginning to end, her knife failed to scratch the bone spur monster for a single point.
It seems that in the setting, this monster is invincible.
Unless...... Hold on for two minutes and wait until it disintegrates on its own.
[Until the monster disintegrates: 1 minute and 29 seconds]
[Players Remaining: 2 (Cosimo, Juliu)]
[Citizens remaining: 31 people]
To win, at least 2 players must survive.
Now, if one of Cosimo and Yulius dies, the game will be over - all 55 citizens, including Ruri Kamidai, Juliu, and Cosimo, will die.
"Run, Cosimo, Juliu."
Seeing that the gods were killed heroically, Anson Lu put his hand on his chin and gave the order.
Anson Deer's command fell, and Cosimo and Juliu ran without hesitation, following the townspeople - these two were players, so of course they had to run faster than the townspeople.
At this moment, the bone monster kicked away Ruri Kamiyo's corpse.
"Roar!!
With his feet on the ground, he stormed at a terrifying speed, straight through the void body of Anson Deer, chasing after Cosimo and Yuliu.
"That's fast......"
Anson Deer walked briskly towards car 13.
Car 13 was empty, and the citizens were running fast - most of the citizens should have squeezed into car 15, but some citizens were left behind in car 14.
However, the most important thing is that there are only 16 cars in this subway, and car 16 is the end of their escape.
According to the chase speed of the bone monster, it will soon be able to chase car 16 and wipe out all the remaining citizens.
At this moment, the monster ran hysterically and chased after car 14.
Anson Deer looked from afar, observing the situation in car No. 14.
In just a few seconds, the bone monster caught up with the few citizens who were squeezed behind, and slashed their throats one by one with the bone spurs on the surface of their arms.
"Whoaβ"
A shocking color of blood spread throughout the carriage.
In the midst of several hoarse screams and wails, another citizen died one after another.
[There are 52 seconds left until the monster disintegrates]
[Citizens remaining: 25 people]
[Current Monster Location: Car 14]
Among them, between cars 15 and 16, there is a metal door - this locked metal door may be able to keep the bone spur monster out for a while.
It can be done to get 52 seconds.
"However, there are only 25 citizens left, and none of them can die......," Anson Lu said, "otherwise, there will be no way to resurrect someone." β
"Mom, Daddy......"
A cry interrupted Anson's thoughts, and in car 14, a boy fell to the ground in fright and cried in fear after seeing the monster's cruelty.
In car 16, a pair of parents who were busy looking for their children, as if they heard the boy's call, quickly turned their heads and looked at the boy two cars away in shock.
"Why, I should have ordered them to run to car 16," Anson Lu was stunned, "By the way, I can only order some of the citizens, not all of them." β
His reaction was quick, and he could order:
"Juliu, unscrew the gas spray and throw it at the bone monster; Cosimo, turn on the lighter and throw it at the monster. β
In an instant, Juliu unscrewed the lid of the spray can; Cosimo turned on the lighter, and a flame burst out of it.
In the next second, the two of them aimed at the bone monster and threw the object in their hands at the same time.
The bone monster put away its spurs and was about to chase forward.
At this moment, the gas spray canister and lighter came to its face, and the white mist gushing out of the spray can enveloped its body.
"Bang!"
The gas and the flames come into contact, creating a violent explosion.
"Uhhhh
A raging flame rose up, scorching the body of the bone monster with rage.
But...... It struggled for only ten seconds or so before moving again, its scarlet eyes staring directly at the boy on the ground.
"It's already won." Anson Lu was silent for half a second, and then opened his mouth to order: "Yuliu, Cosimo, run to car 16." β
Juliu and Cosimo ran wildly, passing by the parents who had come from car 16 and hiding in car 16.
[Until the monster disintegrates: 35 seconds]
This will leave only 35 seconds before the monster disintegrates.
At the roar of the monster, the boy's parents rushed back from car 16, and the father carried the boy on his back, and the three of them ran to car 16 together.
The fire on the monster's body burned more and more fiercely.
It crawled forward in the flames.
The pace was so slow, stumbling and falling, embarrassed, but it was as if he was wearing the black robe of death and carrying a scythe.
[Citizens remaining: 25 people]
[29 seconds until the monster disintegrates]
At this time, there was an argument between the citizens in the No. 16 car, one by one, with one person yelling to close the metal door, and one person yelling that it could not be closed.
In the end, the party that closed the door prevailed, and they forced the metal door shut.
"Don't turn it off!" The father ran wildly with the boy on his back, looked at the citizens at the end of car 15, and yelled: "Don't close it, please, don't close the door!" β
At this time, the metal door connecting cars 15 and 16 was about to close.
The father gritted his teeth and picked up the boy as he ran, and threw him at the metal door.
"Whew!"
At the last second, the boy's head hit the metal door, and he squeezed into car 16 through the gap and was held by a citizen on the other side of the metal door.
"Bang!"
The metal door closes completely.
Father and mother rushed to the metal door, and the father slammed on the metal door, then turned his head to look at the creeping monster behind him, and shouted hoarsely at the citizens behind the door:
"Open the door! Come on! Hurryββ!!! β
[Until the monster disintegrates: 20 seconds]
"This," Anson said with his hands in his pockets, "is it going to be like this?" β
Car 16.
The boy slapped his hand on the back of the citizen, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, and shouted hoarsely: "Open the door, open the door!" My dad, my mom and dad, they're still outside. β
"Daddy, Mommy!"
He fell to his knees, and several citizens pressed his back to prevent him from messing around.
The boy shouted almost hysterically:
"Let me open the door!"
Behind him, Juliu and Cosimo were like dolls, unable to move.
They could only act if they received an order from Anson Deer - both of them had angry expressions, especially Cosimo, who was almost glaring his eyes out of his sockets, his whole face twitching violently.
Anson Lu put his hand to his chin and looked at the pair of parents who were screaming outside the door with an expressionless face, his thoughts racing at high speed.
What if I let Juliu and Cosimo open the door......
No way......
If the skeleton man seized the moment and extended his arms through the bodies of those citizens, the game would have been lost.
So far, only 25 people have survived, and if 5 more people die, the number of survivors will be less than 20...... If the event is not successful, all the citizens who died before will not be able to be resurrected.
What if you don't open the door......
Well, there will only be two deaths at most.
There are a total of 55 citizens, and if you clear the game, will only the first 30 people who died be resurrected......
Although these two people will not be resurrected, the thirty people who died before can be resurrected, as well as the gods and goddesses.
The lives of two people were steadily exchanged for thirty-one lives.
Yes, it's the right choice......
Anson Lu's eyes did not fluctuate at all, and he quietly looked at the flaming monster on his body, gradually approaching the man and woman.
I've always been like this......
It's always been that way......
It's always been like this......
What's wrong......
Anson Lu lowered his eyelids, his face a little tired.
At this time, a loud kowtow sounded inside the No. 16 car, interrupting Ansen Lu's thoughts.
"Open the door, please...... "Open the door," said the boy with tears in his eyes, kowtowing his head, "Don't sacrifice my parents, I beg you, I don't want them to die." β
"Kangyi, you have to live a good life in the future." Father leaned against the back of the door, his voice hoarse and muddy, "Mom and Dad love you." β
"No, I don't want to ......," the boy yelled, "uncle, please let me go, let me open the door!" Put my mom and dad in! β
"They're all good people!"
"None of my parents have done anything bad! They are all very nice people! β
The black strands of hair obscured Anson Deer's eyes.
He remembered something.
It seems that many years ago, he was the same, watching the most important people die in front of his eyes.
The car accident.
The car accident that took his parents away.
Fire, a fire that burns brightly.
Also, the father whose legs were crushed under the car, and the mother, whose arm was broken.
What if I had a chance to save them at that time......
Is this boy going through something similar now......
No...... He must have been even more brutal than I was back then.
Wrong......
If the door opens, it won't just be these two people who will die, but the entire subway could die here......
What the hell was I thinking......
What's there to hesitate about......
"I'm ......" Anson Lu's dark brown eyes widened, his pupils trembling slightly, "what the hell am I ...... What to hesitate about? β
I'm struggling with something.
This is not a very normal choice, the death of two people can ensure the safety of everyone and minimize the risk.
Exchange the lives of two people for the lives of the whole car.
What's wrong with that......
I've always been like this, give up when I should give up, because it doesn't matter to me, so I can choose the right option.
If it weren't for that, the raven wouldn't have taken a fancy to me.
He was right that without this mutilation, I would not be a person who could save humanity.
I need to make the right ......
Choose.
The most sensible choice......
I don't need to empathize with others, I don't need to let these boring things affect my judgment.
Otherwise...... I'm not me.
I couldn't climb to the heights I have now.
"Daddy......" The boy was still kowtowing, but the sound of kowtowing was getting weaker and weaker, "Mom...... I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'm fine I didn't fall......"
His head was already stained with blood, and a citizen pulled him in despair, and the people in the carriage were never moved, they were all busy coping with the fear of death, how could they be willing to open this door.
"You have to live well, with your parents' share, and live well." The mother outside the door whispered.
The father leaned against the back of the door and lowered his head: "I'm sorry, child, I can't be by your side." β
Anson Deer's pupils constricted to the extreme.
Ten years ago.
Next to the shattered vehicle, the woman's arm was crushed by the cracked window, and blood flowed sideways.
"Don't cry, child......," she whispered, "I hope you can ...... Live happily. β
The boy fell to his knees and cried.
"Dad, he said that you are the best, you can play chess and win him at such a young age, although he is not good at words, but he keeps telling me...... Our fawn is the best. The woman, with a pale smile on her face and tears streaming down her cheeks, said in a trembling voice:
He added...... Our fawn doesn't like to make friends, and if we don't spend time with you, you'll be very lonely......"
"Deer, we can't accompany you now......"
"Even if Mom and Dad aren't there...... You don't close yourself off either, you'll get a lot of ...... in the future A lot of friends, no one will bully you, everyone ...... Metropolis ......"
Her voice grew hoarse and intermittent, unable to utter even a complete sentence, and with each utterance, a line of blood flowed from her mouth.
"You've never been ......"
"Alone."
The boy tried his best to pull the window open, but he never managed to pull his mother out of it.
He cried out to the whole world until he had no strength.
What the hell am I ......
Anson Deer's teeth were about to bite out blood, like a beast rubbing its sharp teeth, and his lowered dark brown eyes were full of sadness.
What kind of person am I......
Principal, teach me.
Please, teach me......
If it were you, what would you choose......
In the No. 16 carriage, the boy roared so much that his throat was about to tear open, and his internal organs were about to shatter, and his voice gradually became hoarse, "Dad, I don't want you to die." β
In the flames, the monster reached out and grabbed his father's head.
A stone's throw away.
Anson Lu looked up, and the scene was reflected in his eyes, and the boy's father had closed his eyes.
I really...... Don't want to think about it anymore.
I don't want to weigh the pros and cons anymore......
I'm really, tired enough.
Can anyone listen to what I was crying and yelling at that time.
"Dad, I don't want you to die." The boy was still struggling, and he jerked away from the restraints of the citizens beside him, and lay hysterically on the iron gate, crying in despair:
"I really...... I don't want you dead. β
Can anyone listen to it?
Can anyone hear me?
Really, no one can hear?
At that time, I was also ...... Say the same thing...... So, I ...... How could I not hear, how could I not hear, what was I talking about?
How can I pretend I don't hear what he's talking about......
The boy in the carriage, unable to scream, his eyes empty and numb, lay on the ground, through the gap in the metal window, silently watching the monster reach out to his parents.
"Cosimo, Juliu," Anson Deer said in a near-hissing voice, "give it to me...... Open the door!! β
The sound of Anson deer reverberated an entire carriage.
He didn't know what he was talking about anymore, and for the first time in nearly ten years, perhaps for the first time, an uncontrollable emotion had dominated his brain.
In this moment.
In car 16, Cosimo erupted like a mad dog, smashing through all the citizens who stood in his way, and Juliu slammed into the metal door, slamming it open with his black arms.
"Bang!"
The door opened.
The pair of parents leaning against the back of the door fell backwards for a moment, and the monster's hands failed to catch them.
The monster roared hysterically, raising its flaming right arm, and in an instant a bone stretched out from its right arm, and this sharp bone shot into the carriage with an unbelievable blast.
Juliu stood in front of everyone, using his Devouring Arm as a shield to fend off the ever-expanding bone spur.
"Uhhββ!!!h
Juliu's arm was pierced in an instant, his whole body shot backwards, and he was nailed to the end of the carriage, blood spilled frantically from the breach in his arm, and the next second, his arm was amputated in the middle.
"Poof!"
Blood, swaying inside the carriage.
[Until the monster disintegrates: 4 seconds]
The monster took a step forward, and the flames flew everywhere.
The boy's parents crawled backwards in astonishment.
[Until the monster disintegrates: 2 seconds]
The monster retracted its bone spurs, and Juliu slashed down from the top of the carriage wall, carving a blood-colored ravine.
[Until the monster disintegrates: 1 second]
The monster roared and rushed forward.
The citizens in the carriage were frantically hiding behind and huddled together.
[There is still 0 seconds left until the monster disintegrates]
[The sequence event has ended, the number of surviving citizens is 25, the number of surviving players is 2, and the event objective has been achieved.] γ
[The first 30 citizens who died have been resurrected, a total of 30 citizens have died, which means that all citizens have been resurrected.] γ
[The citizens have returned to another dimension.] γ
[The dead player has been resurrected, and the player's injuries have healed.] γ
[Sequence Event Reward: Old chess players get 1 special chess type, and the rest of the players get 10,000 evolution coins and 10,000 experience points.] γ
The system prompt fell, and the figure of Kamidai Ruri appeared in the No. 16 car, and Yuliu's wound healed quickly, and his broken right arm was connected.
"Good thing you're okay."
Cosimo breathed a sigh of relief and looked out at the carriage.
Anson Deer had regained his form, and he stood in place, staring silently at the open metal door.
"You ......" Cosimo walked out of the carriage quickly, scolding, "I thought you really didn't plan to let us open that door, I was in a hurry, but fortunately you opened it." β
"Hmm." Anson Deer said.
"Well, isn't that the end of the story?"
"Yes."
"Before, I misunderstood you......" Cosimo shrugged his shoulders, coughed twice and said, "I thought you were the kind of person who was selfish and indifferent to the extreme, and you would definitely not open that door, then there really would be citizens who would die, you ......"
His voice stopped abruptly.
Because, Anson Deer had already stepped out of the carriage, and his back was engulfed by the light at the end of the station.
On this day's crusade, Anson Deer did not participate.
At 12 o'clock, the castle in the sky and the giant squid began to send troops.
At 16 o'clock, players in Tokyo cleared all the monsters.
Yulius had the highest number of kills, followed by Cosimo and Ruri Kamiyo.
So far, players have killed a total of 1,000 Sky Monsters and 1,000 Ocean Monsters.
As long as you kill another 500 Sky Monsters and 500 Ocean Monsters, enough to kill 1,500 heads, you can unlock the challenge rights of Sky Boss and Ocean Boss.
A hotel in Tokyo, Japan.
Anson Deer leaned against the back of the bed and sat on the bed.
He opened the memo on his phone, his mind messily sorting through some clues.
ββ
In the headmaster's timeline, he loses to Tokyo's Hakuryu.
In the World Boss Battle, the Headmaster uses the time-traveling ability of a chess piece to drag the Snow Dragon to the Atlantic Ocean in 1912.
What is the purpose......
Is it to protect other players?
Or is it because he doesn't trust other players, so that he can go head-to-head with the world boss, so he dragged it into the past time?
Anyway......
In the Atlantic, the headmaster single-handedly challenged the Snow Dragon.
He tried to annihilate the snow dragon on his own.
However, the principal failed.
By the way, Xuelong overturned the Titanic.
This is the Titanic incident in later generations.
I still have a lot of questions to figure out.
For example: What happened to Yuri, why are there three Icelandic girls? Why is it a disease that dies at the age of eighteen? Is this the price the principal said?
I have a guess in my mind about this: if the old chess players want to stay in another timeline for a little longer, they must let that time chess game absorb the life force of those three Icelandic girls or something......
In this way, the principal can stay in this plane for a little longer.
But...... This is too cruel, should I say that it is me?
A scumbag like me doesn't care about other people's lives at all.
That's why you do such a cruel thing, don't you?
However, why was Yuri chosen......
That being said, if it hadn't happened, Yuri wouldn't have become a 'Snow Walker'.
If she hadn't had 'Ancaches Syndrome', she would have grown up normally and then ...... Die normally in the Evolution Game.
It seems that it was the principal who made me meet her.
Asugi, too, if it weren't for the principal's series of operations, I wouldn't have them by my side.
I wondered how the principal at that time managed to survive.
In the previous timeline, after the death chess game of Shangshi High School, there was no other 'principal' standing next to the principal.
Because in his timeline, he only has himself, only that one Anson deer.
What kind of life did Anson Deer live at that time......
If it weren't for the 'Headmaster', all the students would have treated him like a monster after that game of death......
A monster who is extremely indifferent and treats human life as a pawn.
No one will play chess with him for months, and no one will talk back for him when everyone scolds him. Similarly, no one will agree with him to invite him to eat rice cakes when he comes out with a copy.
In such an environment, he gradually became cold and developed in the direction of the most indifference.
So...... The headmaster became a loner.
The reason why he killed Yurihara who was close to him was also because he couldn't trust anyone.
Even, half a year later, he chose to face the snow dragon alone.
But he failed.
Utterly defeated.
Eventually, this desperate loser came to my side in order not to let me ...... Repeat.
ββββ
Anson Lu recorded this, lowered his eyelids, and muttered softly, "So...... You stayed by my side and acted with me for so long, just to keep me from going down your old path? β
No, he was simply sympathizing with his past self......
It's just, sympathizing with my past self.
"It's ...... right," Anson Deer shrugged, "He's just, for his own purposes." β
"Ding."
The message beeps.
Anson Deer opens the panel, and it is Yuri's message.
[Yuri: As seen in the student handbook.] γ
Anson Deer had forgotten what he had said in his last message.
He flipped up the message panel - Yuri sent him a "Happy Birthday" in the morning, and he replied "How do you know it's my birthday?" βγ
[Anson Lu: Morning's message, you only returned now? γ
Anson Lu paused, then continued typing.
[Anson Lu: But thank you, except for an old ......]
He typed here and deleted three words.
[Anson Lu: Except for myself, no one will remember my birthday, only you. γ
[Yuri: Just when I remembered it, I sent you a message. γ
[Yuri: And ...... Asuka also knows, she says that if you line up a copy, on your birthday, while you are asleep, you will turn into a dragon and scare you up and down. γ
Anson Deer laughed dryly and typed angrily.
γAnson Deer:...... This birthday present, forget it. γ
[Anson Lu: I remember that there is a voice function, how about you accompany me to say a few words? γ
There was a long pause.
The hotel room was quiet, there was no sound at all, only the sound of seconds turning.
[Player 'Yuri', make a call to you, do you accept it?] γ
Anson Deer answers the phone.
ββ¦β¦ So, what's wrong with you? An emotionless voice came from the other side.
Anson Lu said: "I seem to be a little strange today. β
ββ¦β¦β
Anson Deer said: "I did a lot and didn't think I would do it. β
"For example?" Yuri's voice was cold.
"Impulsive, irrational...... I made a ridiculous decision that completely went against my usual way of dealing with it, almost. β
"You'll be too, not sane?"
"I didn't think I would be."
"Good...... Then you're one step ahead of me. β
Anson Lu was stunned for a moment, not realizing what she was saying.
"What?" He asked.
"You're one step ahead of me when it comes to being a 'whole person.'" Yuri's voice was calm.
"Is it complete...... Anson Lu thought thoughtfully, "maybe it's just like what the crow said, once a 'crippled weirda' like me changes, I will become a mediocre person, I hope that at that time, everyone will not be disappointed in me." β
After a moment of silence, he continued:
"Actually, I'm a little confused about myself."
"At least ......" Yuri paused and whispered, "I won't be disappointed." β
"Why?"
ββ¦β¦ No reason. She changed the subject, "Do you want to play chess?" β
"No, I'm a little tired today, I'm about to rest."
"Okay, get some rest early."
"Thank you for your birthday wishes." Anson Lu scratched his messy hair and teased: "Although, my birthday is very unlucky, it must be thanks to your bad luck." β
"No next time."
"What?"
"Next time, I won't have a chance to say that to you again."
Yuri's voice was flat, as if recounting an unremarkable fact.
Anson Lu reacted.
By this time next year, she may have melted away from the ice.
Anson Lu curled up in a ball, he was silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you ask me before, if you died, would I be injured?" β
"Yes."
"I'm going to get hurt...... Anson said tiredly, "So, I don't want you to die, I'...... I don't want to lose anyone around me anymore. When he said this, he smiled softly and said incoherently:
"It's been a lot of loss, my dad, my mom, and the principal, if I lose you again, I'm ...... I don't know how to go on anymore. β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Ding."
A message tone is issued.
The silence was broken.
Anson Lu raised his head, his dark eyes looking at the information, it was a painting, a picture of a girl and a teenager skiing on a snowy field, next to the painting, there was a line of messy handwriting.
The handwriting is Icelandic, but Anson Deer can read it.
I...... I don't want to be forgotten by you.
Anson Lu whispered the words she had written, and said in a hoarse voice, "Me...... It's not so good that you can casually forget about the people you care about. β
"I miss the headmaster, Yuri."
"I have never had any friends, no one cares about me, only he cares about me."
ββ¦β¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β¦β
There was a long silence again.
"When I get back......," Yuri whispered, "I want to play chess with you." β
