Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 2409 Yu Yuan's Choice
The land of Heishan Town, regardless of time and place, will suddenly collapse and sink, and before being caught off guard, a dark and bottomless tunnel will open up, leading to hell.

Those who tumble down with the clods and are unfortunately swallowed up by hell will never return.

"When I was born, there were 4 to 2000 people in the town." Sitting on the steps, Yu Yuan lowered his eyelashes and whispered, "Now... there are only less than [-] people left."

Black holes open completely randomly; sometimes they don't appear once a year, and sometimes they swallow a dozen families in a month.In terms of rules, there is only one thing, that is, it will basically not appear continuously at the same place in a short period of time.

"The people in the town live in constant panic all day long. It's just a matter of survival, and it's already overwhelming, but it seems that this is not enough...Everyone is secretly anxious in the back of their minds, Terrified, not knowing which day it will be my turn, my feet are empty, and I fall into the open black hole."

"Why did this happen?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help asking, "How did the black hole come about?"

At this moment, she is still holding Bohemia with one hand——Although Bohemia was far away from the deep pit just now, she seemed to have noticed that Lin Sanjiu only wanted to save her and do her best, so she didn't lose her temper now. Honestly sitting aside, waiting to go back to Yu Yuan's house for dinner.

"No one has an accurate answer. Maybe when Heishan Town was built, there was a 'factor' that could collapse and swallow people at any time." Yu Yuan said in a low voice, "Everyone says that disasters are a part of life, and there is nowhere to be found. Natural disasters cannot be avoided... right? All the people of Heishan Town can do is not to listen or to watch, and seek their own blessings."

Lin Sanjiu always feels that things shouldn't be like this - a force majeure will fall down at an unknown time for no reason, hit you, and your life will be completely darkened.The only way for a whole town to deal with it is not to think about it, not to talk about it, not to provoke it.

"Is there any way?" Yu Yuan smiled wryly, "It's hard enough to live. Just to live, I have exhausted all my strength. After the black hole collapses, the ground will slowly close, even if I dig again, nothing can be dug out. gone."

He sighed and said, "Fortunately, the ground will return to its original state. To be honest, let alone digging people, if the deep pit on the ground does not recover, I don't know if the people in the town have the strength to fill the pit... …There is a shortage of food in our town, and it is very difficult to meet our daily needs.”

Lin Sanjiu stood up from the steps and looked back at Zhenxin Square.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that the sinkhole had just swallowed people; the vacated space had already been filled, because the safest place today is the land where dead bodies are deeply buried.

This time, there is no Black Mountain in Heishan Town, but there is a black hole that collapses randomly.

"Let's go, it's time to go back to dinner." Yu Yuan stood up, pointed to Bohemia and said, "This guy is so hungry that he doesn't look good."

Dinner was very simple; Bohemia wanted to get into the soup pot and eat every fiber—as Yu Yuan said, neither of them was full.

After dinner, it was time for Lin Sanjiu to say goodbye.

"I have to go home," she said, thinking vaguely of Exodus.The reality of the doomsday world is like another layer of dreams, overlapping and projected on this layer of dreams. "I just remember that I came to you because there was something urgent and important, and I wanted you to give me an answer, but I forgot what it was."

Yu Yuan, who insisted on seeing her off, was leading Bohemia and walking beside her; hearing this, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Sanjiu, like black jade flowing in the Baixi River.

"It's okay, the future will last forever."

Lin Sanjiu also smiled: "Well, as soon as I remember, I will come to you again."

The setting sun had already sunk, dragging away the last skirt of red clouds.The dark blue sky pattered down into the sky and the earth like rain, dissipating and spreading out a dark night.The three of them walked silently in the night without street lights, not far away was the way Lin Sanjiu had come.

"Just send it here." She looked at the road formed by the flattened loess, and said to Yu Yuan, "I'll walk straight along this road, and I can get out in ten minutes."

Yu Yuan followed the direction of her finger, looking back and forth for a while.In the end, his eyes fell back on Lin Sanjiu.

"Although nothing good happened today, I'm glad you're here."

He let out a low breath.Perhaps because of the lack of tattoos, or because all the emotions in the dream are always particularly strong and directly hit the soul, Lin Sanjiu felt that he was almost resonating with his reluctance and his nostalgia.

Yu Yuan, who has always been calm and reliable, turned out to be like a young man, at times when he was at a loss and attached...

"The me now exists because of you." Yu Yuan lowered his head, as if to hide his emotions, his voice trembling slightly. "You have reshaped the 'I' in your cognition. Sometimes I think, is what you reshaped, the original me? The 'Yu Yuan' in your cognition is different from the real 'Yu Yuan' How big? But I'll never get the answer.

"Sometimes I feel like a piece of cardboard. You see the cardboard figures in the store? It's like that. You put me up, you don't know behind me, maybe it's empty, there's nothing. "

"Why did you say that all of a sudden?" Lin Sanjiu stretched out his hand, wanting to touch him and comfort him, but withdrew it anyway. "You are not an empty person..."

"Ah."

Yu Yuan responded through his nose, but still didn't look up. "Maybe it's because... when I'm with you and my friends, I feel closer to what a person should be, complete and sufficient. I can feel that I'm entangled with people In the process, new flesh and blood slowly grow, and gradually stand more firmly and step on more solidly."

When talking about friends, he glanced at Bohemia beside him.

"I am willing to live with the appearance you gave me, because I think the me you know must be very good. Maybe it is better than the original Yu Yuan. If besides this, I have thickness and The more faces it has, the more it’s not just a cardboard statue, the better.”

"Of course you are not..." Lin Sanjiu started to speak, but felt too pale, and stopped.

"I'm hopeful that I can be with you."

Yu Yuan bent down, picked up Bohemia, and let her sit on his arm.He stretched out his other arm towards Lin Sanjiu, and said with a smile, "So you have to come see me again as soon as possible."

Lin Sanjiu didn't know if she was crying - she seemed to have no reason to cry.She walked up, stretched out her arms, and embraced the boy Yu Yuan and the young boy Bohemia in her arms.

After a while, she let go of her hand.

"After I'm gone," Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice, "you won't be in danger, right?"

"It's okay." Yu Yuan put Bohemia down and said, "We live here and know what we are facing."

So, why not leave?
Lin Sanjiu hesitated, and glanced at where he came from.

She was stunned.

The simple loess road, which passed through two rows of bushes just now, stretched far away; it disappeared at this moment.She stared at the place where the yellow dirt road originally existed, and couldn't tell what replaced it—no, it seemed that there was nothing replacing it at all; the world was simply cut off here.

what happened?

Lin Sanjiu suspected that she was looking in the wrong direction, and turned around in a hurry, but she couldn't see anything except Heishan Town behind her; it seemed that there was an invisible curtain wall that tightly surrounded Heishan Town, her sight, Her cognition can't even cross the curtain wall, let alone drag her body through it.

Why did her background disappear?

Obviously before embracing, she also saw——

Lin Sanjiu lowered his head, looked at his bare calf, and was stunned.The field pants and vest on her body were gone, and she was only wearing the clothes Yu Yuan gave her.

The origin, the clothes, the food...the enthusiasm and curiosity of the people of Heishan Town towards the outsiders; the hug between her and Yu Yuan.

As the cold winter rose from the depths of his body, Lin Sanjiu trembled uncontrollably.

Yu Yuan and Bohemia were no longer around, as if they disappeared as soon as she thought about it; but she knew that Yu Yuan was now on the way to send Bohemia home—the special power of dreams even let her know , how to go to Bohemia's house.

"Yu Yuan!"

While running, Lin Sanjiu shouted at the two figures ahead. "Wait for me, I have something to say—"

Obviously she was only a few steps away, but the last few steps could not be crossed, and they were always between her and the two people in front; no matter how loud Lin Sanjiu yelled, Yu Yuan and Bohemia would also Can't hear at all.

"Ah, this sewer is not covered,"

Bohemia said, let go of Yu Yuan's hand, and took two steps to the right, intending to bypass the dark sewer on the sidewalk.

No matter how piercingly Lin Sanjiu yelled, he couldn't make Yu Yuan turn his head back.He was walking on the other side of the sewer, without realizing that at the place where Bohemia's feet were about to fall, a deep black hole almost identical to the sewer opened up.

One second she was still there, the next second she disappeared into the night.

The ground slowly closed and returned to its original shape; Yu Yuan stretched out his hand subconsciously, as if he was about to pull Bohemia up again, he was stunned.

"Yu Yuan!"

It was as if there was an invisible bubble separating her, which was finally pierced by this shout; Yu Yuan was shocked, and raised a pair of blood-red eyes towards Lin Sanjiu.

"Bohemian she—"

"Listen to me," Lin Sanjiu grabbed his arm tightly, as if he, like the voice, was about to be broken into pieces. "Why didn't you take Bohemia away earlier? Why didn't you tell the townspeople to go? Because you can't go, can you? You can't see anything from the outside world, can you? I can't either, I I can't see the way out. And, I finally understand...I finally know where Black Mountain is."

Yu Yuan was stunned, and glanced at the ground again. "Where?"

Lin Sanjiu raised his hand and pointed to his temple.

"it's here."

With an expression like sleepwalking, Yu Yuan slowly raised his hand and touched his eyebrows with his fingers. "In my... head?"

The two were silent on the sidewalk where Bohemia was buried. After a while, Yu Yuan said tremblingly, "How do you know?"

"You planted Black Mountain in my mind," Lin Sanjiu whispered, "while we were hugging."

After she came to Heishan Town, she had physical contact with Yu Yuan for the first time, and the way out disappeared.

"I don't understand..." Yu Yuan tremblingly said, "I don't understand... Is it because of me?"

Lin Sanjiu wanted to say "no", she wanted to say that extremely important matter that was churning in the back of her mind, but she still couldn't drag it out of that night and into her eyes, just like in her mind. Sure enough, there was a towering, continuous, solid black and heavy mountain shadow, which trapped her thoughts—the only thing she could say was "Heishan Town".

"You want to slowly grow new flesh and blood in the entanglement with people...do you?"

Lin Sanjiu gently held Yu Yuan's hand, and whispered comfortingly, "That's why we are in this Heishan Town, and that's why there is a Heishan Town here... right?"

"The Black Mountain anywhere is not as powerful as the Black Mountain in your heart, is it?"

Yu Yuan suddenly smiled wryly, and seemed to lose all strength in his feet, and slowly sat on the ground. "Sure enough, I am the source of Montenegro this time? I just want the safest and most stable place... I just hope that the days to come will be like the past few days. Why did it become like this?"

Lin Sanjiu wiped away the tears from his face, knelt down in front of him, and said in a low voice, "I don't know why things have turned into what they are today...why we have to make a choice."

Yu Yuan slowly looked around the sidewalk, houses, drains, and the night sky.

"Our friends... and the ordinary people in the town who are struggling to survive every day... Bohemia." He murmured, "We can't stay here anymore... can we?"

Lin Sanjiu shook his head.

After a few seconds, she asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do...?"

Yu Yuan was stunned, staring blankly at the ground.As if pulled back to his senses by this sentence, he said in a hoarse voice, "Is it enough to let Montenegro disappear?"

Lin Sanjiu suddenly became nervous.

"How do you want Montenegro to disappear?" She said anxiously, "You have to know, even if you give up on yourself and put yourself in danger, it doesn't necessarily mean that everything will be possible..."

Yu Yuan looked at her without blinking, as if he had finally let go of a heavy burden, and had finally made a decision, now he just needs to take another look at his cherished friend.

"But, I have to do it, right?"

He got up from the ground, put his knees on the ground, stretched out his hand, and pinned a lock of messy hair behind Lin Sanjiu's ear.

"Little wine,"

Under the night, Yu Yuan's smile was like snow.

"If I could turn back time and choose again, I would still choose to meet you and become friends... I don't regret it at all."

　Many years ago, when I was young and ignorant, I made a great wish that I would revise it after the end of the day.Now... Friends, wild ghosts, we are all reasonable people. We have to rework more than 2400 chapters. Only people in prison can do this, right?I'm going to finish the first hundred or so chapters. Life is too short... To be honest, when I read what I wrote before, I really feel a gap...

　　PS: In fact, everyone knows how Yu Yuan will choose, which makes it difficult to write about him...
