Majin Li Duo.

The moment this salutation sounded from the mouth of the blue bird, I felt as if the voice had turned into an invisible sword shot out of her mouth, piercing my chest with lightning speed, passing straight between my ribs, and strangulating my heart to waste meat with a single blow. I reflexively took two steps back and almost fell to the ground, my mouth open and my mind in a state of confusion.

She...... What she just said.

She said what did I do......

I'm not unprepared. Since the demon symbolizes the reality of myself that I can't face, and the demon has the setting of a crazy murderer in my dream, then...... In reality, I may not be a decent person, and I haven't thought about this possibility......

But this is a dream, and the memories of reality will be presented in a distorted and magical form in the dream. I can't face myself in reality, even if I incarnate as a murderer who has committed many crimes in my dream, it doesn't mean that I must be a murderer in reality. It is also possible that I have committed some petty evils in reality, and that my sense of morality has tormented me during the day, so that at night I express it in a bizarre form in my dreams; Or maybe I was suffering from an incurable disease, because the disease made me feel that my life was in danger, so I imagined my sick body as a murderer who strangled my soul, and reflected it in a distorted way in my dreams......

However, the "Demon Li Duo" described by Blue Bird himself revealed between the lines a madness and depravity that even the "Demon Man" in the dream could not match.

Such an evil man...... Actually...... Is it me?

I didn't want to believe it, I wanted to tell myself it was a scam. But in the corners of consciousness there seemed to be a small voice whispering. It's as if when I first saw the demons, there was a voice in my heart screaming against the demons' evil and darkness; Now, the voice was in deep agreement with the accusations that the blue bird had made against me.

"Why......" I read unconsciously, while the blue bird stared at me without saying a word. This gaze seemed to have substantial power, to dig open my flesh and probe the structure within. But I also knew that there was no malice in her gaze, it was just that my consciousness was creating an illusion for itself. It was I who wanted to dig open my flesh and see what color of blood flowed inside.

I re-energized my voice and asked the unfinished question," I said...... Why are you treating me? Since I'm this kind of criminal, and the Security Service is the organization that deals with criminals......"

She paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you remember the 'Majin past' that I once told you?" ”

One day, a certain person who used to live an ordinary life went to a mysterious place where no one could find him, and found a monster in the mysterious place that no one knew.

At the same time that he discovers the monster, the monster also discovers him.

Then the monster bewitched his mind and made him lose all reason as a human being.

“…… After destroying the monster and capturing the demon, we are shocked to find that the demon Li Duo is different from the crazy demon we imagined, he seems to have a sound sense of morality, and he is also aware of the sin of what he has done. It would be better for him to commit so many crimes, even just one of them, than to kill him. Unless his psychology is different from ordinary people from the beginning of the underlying structure, he cannot fool the psychological evaluation of the Security Bureau. "And after autopsy, we found that the monster was different from all known monsters, but we were able to conclude that it had a very strong talent for hypnotic brainwashing and physical transformation." After many rigorous investigations and meetings, we finally came to the conclusion that Majin Li Duo was the victim of the monster's mental manipulation, not the perpetrator. ”

"You ...... Just let me go in reality? I said incredulously, "Even if you have been brainwashed by hypnosis, or something, and caused so many casualties, is there no death penalty?" ”

"The hidden world also has the laws of the hidden world, although there are some voices within the Security Bureau who are not convinced, but as an organization that governs the order, we give priority to the law." "In reality, you have a great sense of guilt about your past, you insist that you have not been brainwashed by hypnosis, that all your crimes were committed voluntarily, and that you are asking the Security Service to sentence you to death," she said. And in order to help you reintegrate into society, we decided to give you psychological treatment, and the result is this dream. ”

Her gaze swept to the surroundings, "We have divided you into two parts, you, who still maintain a clean conscience, and the demons who are opposite...... In the original calculation, your strength was far greater than that of the Majin, and the Siren's Blade was also your weapon. But after the dream was implanted with a malignant factor by the inner ghost, the power relationship was reversed. You're a complete ordinary, and the Majin has all the power, even the Siren's Blade. ”

"So...... Why didn't you tell me? I asked, "I didn't say it at first because I was afraid that I knew it was a dream, which would make it even more out of control." But after I found out that this was a dream, why did you hide the relationship between the demons and me? ”

She was silent for a while, her eyes and expression slowly relaxed, "Because...... I think it's a good opportunity. ”

"Good chance?"

"You should stay in the dream, Lydor." Her voice became kind, "How cruel you are in reality, and how cruel is reality to you...... Even if you go back, nothing good will happen, and until the moment you die, you will keep torturing your heart, and finally close your eyes in torment. This is for you...... It's just too cruel. ”

"I ......" I didn't know how to answer her.

"But here, everything is different." She said gently, "Five years ago, you were finally found by the search and rescue team, and although there were some unpleasant memories, it was just an unlucky spring outing." After that, you will study hard and go to school in a peaceful and warm day, and you will also find a decent job in society; Or as promised, you can also become a witcher here, fight against the unforgivable bad guys and monsters, and finally become the hero of your dreams with flowers and applause. The moment you die, you are content because you have not done anything that is worthy of your heart. ”

She paused slightly, then continued, "More importantly...... You will be back on your own, normal track in life. ”

Her whispers seemed to be a tingling electric current, turning into tiny chains that wrapped around my heart. And what a beautiful future she paints, I have no reason to reject her.

In the distance, there was an undisguised sound of violent footsteps, and it was the demon who was rapidly approaching here. It seems that unconsciously, I saw the demons as an enemy that had to be destroyed, so the demons attacked me with the same feeling. The blue bird turned her back without hesitation, and with a move of her hand, she pulled out a large power grid from the air, and countless currents immediately converged in one place, becoming the thunder and lightning sword in her palm.

"I'll seal the demons." After saying that, she turned into thunder and lightning and attacked in the direction where the demons were attacking.

I couldn't watch her fight alone with her severed arm in tow, so I immediately summoned the Siren Blade and chased after her, attacking the Majin.

I fought side by side with the blue bird again, but this time, there was no surging in my heart, only discouragement and confusion. The intense frustration made my attacks weak, and the attacks that could have been hit were repeatedly blocked or dodged, and the attacks that could have been blocked or dodged fell on me naturally.

The blade of the axe slashed mercilessly into my bone.

I woke up in a cold sweat in extreme despair and confusion, and while my eyes were round, I heard the familiar sound of the train radio in my ears:

"At the next stop 'Nameless Mountain Station', open the left door, and please give up your love seat to passengers in need......"

At this moment, I am in the seat of the train. The warm sunlight shines on your shoulders through the car window, and the daytime scenery flies by outside the window.

When the train arrived, the left door opened a short distance away, and then fell silent. I sat in the middle of a crowd of mannequins, my eyes closed from the open exit, and I bowed my head wordlessly.

I used to aspire to be the main character in a story.

Specifically, I aspire to be a hero who punishes evil and promotes good, and I often fantasize about what I should do when I have power. When I was rebellious in junior high school, I also became interested in the so-called aesthetics of evil, and I silently endorsed some social Darwinist comments on the Internet, but in the end I found that I couldn't grow a heart of stone. Sitting in front of the keyboard is naturally able to scold Fang Xuan ruthlessly, but it is really difficult to face the tears and cries that are close at hand. If I had superhuman strength, I would prefer to use it in things that make people laugh. As clichéd and boring as it sounds, I seem to be the right person to be a stale and boring person.

So, I never thought that when I grew up, I would become a bad person with unforgivable sins.

It must be that the world is crazy, or rather, it's me who is crazy.

But, in this crazy dream, all madness will be corrected.

After a few moments, the door closed automatically. The train leaves the station, but it never announces what the next stop will be. The scenery outside the car window flew by again, and then became dark again at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally it was dark and could not see the light of day.

What's next? Or will I never be able to make it to the next stop?

The train seemed to be out of the map of the dream, moving forward in endless darkness, but it seemed to be stalling because there was no reference in sight.

Just like my false and mutilated memory, this dream is also false and mutilated, and it is really not a place for normal people to live. However, even such a flawed place can at least allow me to escape from the harsh reality and get a temporary respite. Once I choose to break this mirror, I have to face the truth that makes me tremble with fear.

But......

But even in this false and terrifying dream, I have heard words that are both real and warm.

- You are a person who lives in the ordinary world, live cautiously, it doesn't matter if you deceive yourself a little, it is better to run away when you encounter something you fear from the heart, that is the way of life of a smart person.

— and you're trying to be honest about your fears, really, there's nothing more stupid than that.

- But I'll admit that you're a bit handsome.

I......

I don't really want to live that smart, and I don't want to cheat myself.

I don't want to be in a place where it's full of falsehoods and memories.

If I hadn't known that this was a dream, maybe I would have been able to live a good life in ignorance, as the blue bird said. No, it can't. There are some things that I couldn't understand before, but now I can figure them out. The reason why I was obsessed with going to the Nameless Mountain at first, and then I was sleepwalking to the Nameless Mountain despite all obstacles, was because of my instinct to seek the truth. It's useless to escape, no matter how many detours I take, I will eventually reach the Nameless Mountain and find my true soul.

And the demons, my sin, my soul, are waiting for me there.

At this moment, the train shook violently.

There was a tremendous noise in the distance ahead and in the distance, the sound of destruction and crushing in the distance in the distance, and the roar like thunder in the distance. Both were rapidly approaching where I was.

I took a deep breath as if I was about to swallow fear, and slowly stood up.

A dark shadow, a thunderbolt, pierced through the front and the back, shattering all the mannequins in its path, reaching where I was, and crashing together, immediately parting in a shockwave that spread in all directions.

The thunder turned into a blue bird and fell to my side, "Li Duo! ”

"It's time for me to go back." I said, looking at the demon who had fallen not far away.

"Go back? Back to reality? "But you can't accept who you really are, you can only be happy in your dreams." ”

It's true that I still can't accept who I really am, but whether to accept it or not to accept it is a decision that can only be made after returning to reality. After that, whether I want to continue my life or cut myself off, it's not up to me to decide here. In dreams, it seems that you can do anything, but in fact, you can't do anything.

Although a thousand words went through my mind, in the end, I only said one sentence, "Dreams will wake up." ”

Ignoring her retention, I summoned the Siren's Blade and attacked the Majin.

The Majin fought back without hesitation, and I didn't retreat like before. From the moment I "realized" that he was mine, his previous skillful and heavy attack path became like a remark. Because the tricks he uses are actually the tricks I use. He's the other me.

But the moment I saw him for the first time, the moment it occurred to me that I didn't want to face him in any way, and that I couldn't accept that there were such people in the world anyway.

Because that's how I think, the same thinking must be like a mirror in his inner world.

- In any case, it is unacceptable that there are such people in this world.

With this thought in mind, he killed me over and over again.

But why do I think this reflexively? The real me, this must be your heart. You can't forgive the demons either, because the demons are your reality.

And I decided to touch my own reality.

The moment I made up my mind, the Majin dropped his axe without saying a word, and my axe smashed his head with undiminished momentum.

It's over......

His headless body shattered like foam, turning into a myriad of black particles like swarms of flies and swept towards me.

Darkness swallowed my vision and consciousness at the same time.
