Another World: My life is on the hook!

A very long period of time, maybe a whole night, or maybe a lifetime.

Lin En listened to the girl's detailed story, her reluctance and her tears. In fact, she did not really understand nothing, but the curse had forever frozen her mind at that ignorant age.

She talked to him a lot.

She said that many nights her mother would sob and hug her and tell her everything that had happened during this period.

She said that Lin En always wanted to tell them some heavy things as a joke. He said that he would definitely take them back to the main universe. Even though he later found out that the main universe was already at the forefront of doomsday, he did not get discouraged in front of them. He always told them to "be full of energy."

She said she had heard what Aunt Angel had said to her. She said, Linn, why do you have to live for others? Just as you often say, you have turned yourself into a selfish bastard, living not for heaven or earth, but only for yourself. So what?

He had heard Uncle Egwene and the Colossus mention it many times.

They wanted to return to the main universe, but in fact they never expected to win the war.

They just wanted to find a destination for the pain brought about by the great fall three thousand years ago, wanted a cry of unwillingness, and wanted to use death to get the result that they did not become cowards.

But Lynn...

But he really wanted to win a future with these losers.

He wants to take everyone home, back to the home they once remembered.

“Everyone supports you!!”

Xiaoxiao spoke loudly and vigorously, but soon she began to cry again, her whole body shaking.

"Because the end of the world is coming, everyone has no choice, because if they don't fight, they will die, but if they fight, they may still have a chance of survival...so everyone will follow you..."

But my brother...

Just as you love us, we love you too.

Just like you have told everyone the story of the Violet King more than once, you said he finally created a new world, you said he sacrificed everything he had to keep everyone he loved alive, you said he was so great, but brother, have you ever thought about...

If you no longer exist in the new world you create, what kind of torture and pain will it be for those who love you?

"Mom, Dad, Aunt Angel, Uncle Aiwen, they all only told Xiaoxiao one truth!!"

She closed her eyes tightly, using almost all her strength to speak with tears in her eyes.

"Either we live together! Or we die together! Because the scariest and most unbearable thing in this world is dedication and sacrifice! Because you are bad! You are very bad!! Because you always want to be the last one to take on everything, because if you really have to sacrifice yourself in order to get a result in the future! Then brother, you will definitely do it without hesitation!!"

"Because brother, you have become more and more like the great lord in your story!!"

Lynn was stunned and couldn't utter a word.

Xiaoxiao opened her red eyes, looked at him and said:

"Brother...please don't do this...I know nothing has happened yet, but...if it happens in the future...please don't..."

For the sake of Blue Star, you can rush into the universe with countless anomalies and trigger the disaster.

You can leave Zuo Zuo behind and go fight the jailer when Night City changes drastically.

You can save Miss Doll even if you end up getting lost.

In order to avoid causing greater sacrifice, you can face the entire Mechanicus and the frenzy of the Aether alone.

But my brother...

If one day in the future.

If you really have to choose.

Please don't sacrifice yourself for us, and don't embark on a dangerous journey of no return for us.

"Please don't die."

That day.

Lynn finally understood.

We have never been afraid of death, because everyone will die eventually. What we are afraid of is to use your death to exchange for our life.

Lynn closed her eyes tightly and hugged the girl in front of her.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao, there won't be such a choice."

"I will definitely cherish my own life, because I haven't had enough fun yet. I will work hard to change, but if nothing can be changed in the end, then I will come back here and wait for the end of the world together with everyone."

If the oath to live together is made.

Then let’s die together.

This may be the last promise he can make.

……

……

He slept very deeply this time.

This was also the deepest sleep he had had in the two months since he returned to the Night City. It was as if he had almost stopped giving himself time to sleep and rest since he didn't know when.

But this time, he slept soundly, without those annoying dreams or those troubles that disturbed his peace.

Until slurp slurp——

Feel the smoothness on your cheeks.

Lin En finally slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep.

"Hmm - Doctor brother - he's back to normal -"

What appeared in front of him was Xiao Xiao's (?7?0w?7?0) head. Her tentacles were swaying, and she stretched out her long tongue, licking Lin En's face affectionately.

Lin En sat up and looked at Xiaoxiao in front of him, whose expression seemed never to be sad. It was as if the conversation last night was a trance dream. The crying little girl disappeared, and the Xiaoxiao he was familiar with returned to her life again.

She always stays at that ignorant age. She is always happy and wants others to be happy too.

"Little."

Lynn looked at her face.

"Do you remember what happened last night?"

Xiaoxiao (?7?0w?7?0) said: "I remember - when the doctor brother changed Xiaoxiao back to a very pretty one - Xiaoxiao and the doctor brother talked a lot - the doctor brother also talked a lot to Xiaoxiao - a lot -"

"But--"

"Although I remember it, I don't quite understand it. I seemed to cry, but I don't know why I cried."

The tiny tentacle scratched its head and stuck out its tongue.

"Brother, do you remember——"

She looked at Lynn anxiously and moved a little closer.

Lin En paused for a moment, then suddenly jumped up, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and he returned to his human appearance. He put his hands on his hips and laughed a few times, then adjusted his monocle and said:

"Well, I seem to remember it but I also seem not to remember it! Maybe some sand got into my eyes. Okay! Don't think about yesterday anymore! Where do you want to go today? I'll take you there!"

“去——去爸爸洗澡的地方钓鱼——?1?5(?2?9＞?7?0＜?2?9)?1?6欧拉——爸爸说天天在那里吃鱼——都吃吐掉了——小小也要去吃吐！！欧拉——！”

“好！今天就去北海！(*?2?1?0?7╰╯`?2?1)！带你吃吐！”

"Brother, please don't die--!"

"Not dead, not dead! Definitely not dead!!"

"Really, don't do that, brother—"

"If Xiaoxiao wants to, I can die once in a while~"

"..."
