While the sirens were changing in the fitting room, I told the blue bird about my next plan.

It makes sense that my private speech could not be concealed from the siren's ears, for she still resides in my mind, even though she appears to be possessed by that body. However, I felt as if she was completely focused on it now, and as long as I carefully gathered my mental activity as she had reminded, I should not let her hear what I was saying.

And my plan, I want to surprise her, to put it simply, is to take her to the nameless mountain to see the fireworks in the scenic area.

I wanted her to know that even in that cold and eerie mountain forest, there was actually a beautiful scene.

Why is it that the Siren's dreams always show the mountains and forests, because that is the default scene of dreams. But why does the default setting of dreams have to be the kind of scenery that is scenic, and not the warmer and brighter places? Although the sirens never answered me directly, I knew the truth.

Siren's dreams are my dreams after all. Because my mind is still trapped in that depraved night of crazy intercourse with human-like and inhuman things, my dreams will always take on that form. How much solitude did the sirens spend there? Even if I often go to meet and talk to her in my dreams when I have nothing to do, it is far from being able to compare to the time she spends alone.

Although she was able to modify my dreams into other scenes, it was not a natural form after all, and even she herself probably couldn't imagine that place could exude something other than darkness and loneliness. After a long time, even she will feel unsustainable, and after exhaustion, she will still see the cold and gloomy mountain forest.

But as long as she can see the brilliant fireworks in a similar place, the mountains and forests in that dream will definitely become a little warmer.

And that's the insignificant gift I want to give her.

However - this was only my original plan.

Looking at her in the real world, I inevitably had other thoughts.

"That's what you think." Bluebird smiled after listening to my plan, "You want to improve her living conditions." Well, since you believe so as the owner of the dream, the dream will definitely change as you wish. I'm sure she'll be very happy when she goes back. ”

As she spoke, she looked at my expression and slowly became confused, "You don't seem to be looking forward to it yourself...... What's wrong with the plan? ”

"It's a bit of a change." I gathered my thoughts and said what I really thought, "I want to ...... Why did she have to go back? ”

Hearing this, she was stunned for two or three seconds before she reacted, "Li Duo, you don't want to ......"

"Although I didn't completely kill the bitten blood, I did plunder almost all of her spirit fragments. It was a spiritual fragment that was close to the weight of an entire super-main warlock. As long as they have that, it will be enough for the sirens to continue to manifest in the outside world for a considerable amount of time. I said, "And even if she leaves me alone, she should be able to exert her main strength herself." Even if there was an unexpected change that caused the inventory of spirit fragments to bottom out, she could go hunt demons again to replenish it. There is no need to go back to that monotonous and shabby nightmare, and there is no need to accompany me to one battlefield after another to live and die. ”

"But if you do that, you'll lose almost all of your power......" Blue Bird said, suddenly becoming silent.

Just then, the door to the fitting room opened. The siren changed into a playful and cute children's dress with a blue as the main tone, but his expression was a little uneasy, as if he was not very used to dressing up. Her eyes were immediately locked on me, and then she walked over quickly and took my hand, which was a sigh of relief.

Then, she took my hand and took a half step back, and asked anxiously, "What...... What do you think? ”

"It's beautiful." I'm not good at complimenting people on what they're wearing, so I can only make such a brief comment.

She seemed to be in a good mood.

The blue bird quickly sorted out his expression and said with a smile, "Let's try a few more sets." ”

After a long time, the sirens tried on the other outfits that Bluebird had chosen by himself, and finally I paid for them all. I had spent very little of the salary and assignment bonuses that the Security Service had given me, and before I knew it, I had saved a staggering sum of money. Considering that the clothes were not very suitable for climbing mountains in addition to being beautiful, I stored them in a model container first.

The siren changed back into the original white student uniform and whispered, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't have to buy it, I've already seen it, and I can change it myself." ”

"How can it be the same as what you have changed and what the other party has given you?" Bluebird smiled and said, "It's my turn to give you a gift, what do you want?" You're welcome, just tell me. ”

The siren first looked at me, and then said to the blue bird, "I want to ask you for something...... May I? ”

"What's the matter?" Bluebird asked curiously.

The siren let go of my hand for a moment, and leaned over to the bluebird and stood on tiptoe to whisper, who leaned over to listen cooperatively. He spoke so softly that I couldn't hear the content clearly.

After a moment, the blue bird looked at me thoughtfully, then nodded, couldn't help laughing again, and said to the siren, "I see, I will help you with this." ”

"What are you talking about? Is it something about me? I asked.

"Yes, but keep it a secret from you for the time being." Bluebird said, "Also, I'm going to borrow the sirens for a while, okay?" ”

"I'm fine......" As I spoke, I looked at the siren, and when she nodded silently, I continued, "So I'll wait for you here?" ”

"Good. We'll be back soon. As he spoke, the bluebird took the siren's hand.

The two of them quickly disappeared into the crowd for the time being, and returned half an hour later, saying that the matter had been done and that the details were to be kept secret from me for the time being.

It's just that, although the blue bird tried her best to hide it, I still read a sigh that could not be concealed from her face.

I don't know what the sirens are asking for, but the blue bird Hachisei also told the sirens about my plans while helping.

The bluebird must not have agreed to let the sirens go free. Because the sirens and the siren's blade are strongly bound, once the siren is independent, it is equivalent to the siren's blade is independent, and my strength will immediately be reduced to the lowest level of the hidden world. Because of this, the blue bird had previously tested the siren's attitude, fearing that the siren would fly away with the siren's blade.

And judging by the results, the two do not seem to agree.

We continued to shop in the scenic area, eating and drinking along the way. The sirens didn't need to eat, but I bought her some anyway. She was holding my hand in her left hand and a marshmallow in her right hand, and the colorful street scene attracted her attention, and her eyes seemed to be shining.

Sometimes, she is also attracted by the games of the roadside stalls. When she saw some people gathered in front of the stall to play ring toss games, she couldn't help but turn her head and raise her face to ask me, "Can I go there and have a look?" ”

"Let's not just watch, but also play." I say.

She didn't refuse, but it was still too much of a bully to play the ring toss game with her ability, so she also took a sense of proportion, just taking some cheap prizes. Even when throwing the hoops, she didn't forget to grab my hand, as if she was worried that I would run away suddenly. After playing the games here, I also went back and let her play the games she had seen earlier but couldn't resist playing. She moved her body with joy, challenging one thing after another that she had not been exposed to before.

I think, there is no doubt that she must want to stay here, to stay in this world with temperature.

Occasionally, fireworks can be seen in the distance, but there is still a moment before the time for the fireworks to be set off. Bluebird looked at his phone and said, "It's almost time for the fireworks to go off, let's go up the mountain first." ”

We left the bustling streets and walked up the nameless hills.

The noise grew farther and farther away, and there was no one else in sight around, only lonely mountain roads and woods.

"Is there a place on the mountain dedicated to watching fireworks?" Siren asked.

"Yes, yes, like an observation deck or something. But this time, we are going to a relatively remote forest to see the fireworks in the scenic area. As he spoke, the bluebird seemed to think again, and then continued, "But in the woods, the view is easily obscured, and you have to find a clearing with a good view." If you look for it now, it may be too late, so I'll go to the sky above to see if there is a suitable place, and then call you when I find it. ”

With that, she rose into the air in the form of thunderbolt, leaving me and the sirens on the ground.

I had a vague sense that she seemed to be deliberately creating opportunities for me to be alone with the siren, but she should have been very aware of what I was going to do next. I thought she would keep an eye on me so that I wouldn't have a chance to say to the sirens what she wanted them to stay in the real world, or to go a step further and create an opportunity for her own conversation with me to persuade me to give up on that plan. Why would she do that?

In any case, the words that come out of my mouth will not change. I looked at the sirens beside me, and she looked at the night sky, then at the surrounding woods, and said to me, "It feels like a dream." ”

"This place does really feel like that dreamland." I say.

"It's not just this place." She sighed, "Shopping together before was like having a very happy dream." I can't tell where reality is and where dreams are...... Even a little scared. ”

"There's no need to be afraid, it's the reality here. You can stay here for as long as you want. I said.

"All the time?" She seemed to hear what I was saying.

"Siren, stay." I said it directly, "Don't change back, don't go back to that dream." ”

"Do you want me to use this appearance to continue to fight for you as your weapon?" She asked.

"Not fighting for me." I said, "You can fight for yourself later, or you can live for yourself." ”

Hearing this, she was silent for a few seconds, and then asked, "So, what are you going to do?" Without me, without the Siren's Blade, how are you going to fight for yourself in the future? ”

"I'll figure it out by myself when it comes to fighting, there's no need for you to risk your life to accompany me." I say.

However, there are glaring flaws in my proposal. Actually, it's easy for me to notice this flaw, but if I do, I'm bound to think of more. Perhaps it was because I unconsciously thought about what was going on that that I unconsciously ignored this obvious flaw.

And she pointed it out directly, "But if you die, I will die." If you have to fight, I'm safest only if I'm by your side at all times. ”

I was dumbfounded at first, and then came to the conclusion that if I didn't want to get her into the danger of fighting, there was only one way, and that was to keep myself out of the fight.

And to stay away from the battle means to stay away from the front line, away from the eve and the white horse.

At the same time, it also means giving up the hand of "its".

Will I give up? Is it possible for me to do this?

If it were just me, I wouldn't hesitate to do my best. Even if I were to bet my life on the table with the lowest odds of winning, I could not blink an eye.

However, if the siren's life were to be taken hostage, it would be a different matter. I'm willing to gamble everything I have for this path, but not anyone other than myself.

Say a thousand words and ten thousand, "it" is already dead, and there is only one hand left in the world. Now that the Security Bureau has moved its heart to destroy the night before, no matter how good the white horse with that hand is evil, it will not be able to fight against the behemoth of the Security Bureau. And the reason why I insist on taking it back with my own hands is more for myself.

The siren, on the other hand, was alive, a companion who was so important to me that I said that I could not sacrifice her.

The sirens watched me quietly.

I felt my soul being questioned like never before.

This is my bad retribution, because in the past I was always avoiding real choices. How indecisive, how selfish, how despicable. I always talk about how to value the siren, but when it comes to action, I always take the siren to a dangerous place and force her to go through the same life-and-death dilemma as me. Even I don't realize my contradictions, because I unconsciously want to get by.

However, now that I am aware of this, I can no longer allow myself not to make a choice.

Is it a dead "it", or a living siren.

I......
