Bo Chang turned around and left. The fireworks and the happy people behind him had nothing to do with him. He came to the real Pinocchio alone and saw Huang Quan standing in front of the three tablets.

"When I came here, I happened to see a child holding it. He said that the flower was prepared by Aunt Trish for the watchmaker, his comrade-in-arms whom he had missed all his life." Huang Quan placed his hand on his chest and mourned in a low voice.

"Mikhail would place two bouquets of flowers here every year. After he left, there were three. Your wish will always be remembered by someone..."

"Now, Pinocchio has also welcomed the dawn after a long night, just as you expected. The road ahead may not be smooth, but people are ready to move towards freedom. Tiernan, you can go home now."

Huang Quan turned around and noticed Bo Chang.

"You're here. Are you okay? I can feel the traces of you being infected by the void."

"It's OK. Thank you very much."

At this time, all the train crew members also arrived here.

Huang Quan and Ji Zi nodded and said, "They are here, say goodbye to them properly." Huang Quan moved aside and looked at Bo Chang.

"Do you remember the first time we met? At that time, I was bound by the curse of self-destruction. When I was in Pinocchio, I even felt that meeting you was just a dream."

"A dream? It does look very similar." Bo Chang nodded.

"And... that Wangwang snow cake? I want to keep some memories." Huang Quan asked Bo Chang for it a little embarrassedly.

"If it were Ai Li, she would definitely be happy to tease you." As he said this, he reached out and took out a bag of Wangwang Snow Cakes from the system space.

"Thank you... Ai Li... This name is a little unfamiliar, but you should be a very good person. I am a self-destructor cursed by the "Nothingness". My hometown suffered a catastrophic disaster a long time ago, and the whole world perished under its reflection. In order to fight against the ending of annihilation, I embarked on a journey to find a way to cut off the "Nothingness". After a long search, I am sure that my destination is deep in the black network that separates reality and nothingness. There lurks the secret of the Ninth Organization. One day, I will reach it."

The two were silent for a moment before Huang Quan suddenly realized something. "Ah... So, I have to apologize for my impoliteness. Do you remember the first time we met, the competition?"

"Yeah, she was very heavy-handed, just like the girl I know." Bo Chang smiled slightly and thought of something else.

"Because of the self-destructive curse, I often forget some things, and the past becomes blurry. In my interactions with you, I can be sure that the first vague feeling I had was just an illusion, and that we were indeed meeting for the first time."

"What if this is not the first time for me?" Bo Chang took out two cans of Wangzai milk and handed one to Huang Quan.

"......What does this mean? You can't be related to my past. No... What I mean is that my past can no longer be traced back. There is only nothingness left." Huang Quan was a little surprised and was still wondering if he had forgotten something again.

She suddenly figured it out and looked at Bo Chang who was looking at her silently, "I guess you must have mistaken me for someone else. Have you had a similar experience? Is your name Mei? This name has not been mentioned for a long time. You should know that I am not the same person as the one in your memory." Huang Quan thought of how Bo Chang used to call her Mei.

"But some things will never change." Bo Chang looked at Huang Quan with a smile on his face, and she also smiled when she was looked at.

"......Haha...yes...a lot of times, what we have done together is more important than whether it is the first time we meet. I will remember this story with you in my heart. Many years ago, I also had companions who did their best in every right thing, but unfortunately...we did not get the right result, but when I see you, I feel that they have never left." Huang Quan turned around and looked at the sky island high above.

"In this universe, there are countless similar yet different worlds, and countless similar yet different people. I have also traveled alone and met similar old friends on countless strange planets. Their figures overlap with my past memories. In your opinion, what does this sense of déjà vu mean?"

"It's attachment, I guess. In the end, I still feel regret for their departure. When I feel powerless, I often see their presence in other people..."

"Nostalgia?"

"Yes, when we were about to separate, I did not attend their 'farewell party'." Bo Chang looked at his hands and recalled the past, "I thought that as long as I didn't go, they would always be there, as if... as if they had never left. As long as I wanted, I could go back and meet them again at any time."

"But you didn't, why?" Huang Quan asked.

"Because I'm afraid."

"afraid?"

"I'm afraid that after I meet them, they will get on the train to say their final goodbyes to me, just like that door. As long as I walk out of it, she will disappear forever..."

"But outside the door is the sober world." Huang Quan put his hand on Bo Chang's shoulder and stroked it.

Bo Chang smiled slightly, "I really want you and Ellie to meet, it will be fun."

"Aili? What kind of person is she?" Huang Quan asked curiously.

"She once told me that when I can't move forward, I should just stop and look around and behind me. I will find that they are always here, just like they were before..."

Huang Quan looked at Bo Chang. She could feel Bo Chang’s current mood, but she didn’t know what to do.

Bo Chang took Huang Quan's hand away and looked in the direction of the train group. "Just as he said, my partners are also something you can only have once in a lifetime."

Dan Heng looked towards the train crew and motioned Huang Quan to look over there as well.

"Like him, he had nothing and was burdened with sins before boarding the train. Ji Zi told him that he could get off the train at any time after he found his home... I am an unknown guest here, just like them." Bo Chang looked at the three monuments in front of him and smiled slightly.

"Destination, but judging from his appearance, he has already found his destination. If he wants to get off... I think it will take a very long time." Huang Quan looked at Bo Chang and smiled. The picture was even more beautiful than in the game.

"Yes, everyone has to find a home, so everyone is on the road to find a home, falling down, getting up, falling down again, and getting up again. This should be reality."
