[Net King] Extreme day

It is raining heavily outside.

I heard that the sound of rain often makes people more tired, so Tezuka and I, who were unknowingly invaded by the sound of rain, are in a dangerous situation at any time.

Tezuka and I snuggled together, curled up in the corner next to the blackboard in the classroom.

We have insisted on not sleeping for a long time, trying to pretend that nothing happened and go to class as usual, but after persisting for a long time, sleepiness still swallowed us up bit by bit.

Very sleepy, very sleepy.I leaned tiredly on Tezuka's shoulder, and only had the last bit of strength left to open my eyes.

The classroom is dark, the rain is beating on the glass windows, and the surroundings are creating an environment that is easy to sleep for us.In order to resist this environment and tiredness, Tezuka and I took turns talking.

Tezuka was telling me stories about his childhood that even Kosaki didn't know.He talked about his former teammates, how he injured his shoulder, and his plans for the future.

"Maybe I can receive better treatment abroad...this shoulder..."

Tezuka, who usually seldom speaks, seems to have exhausted all he can say.

When it was my turn, it was already difficult for me to make a strong voice.I remembered the lullaby my mother sang to me when I was very young. It seemed that there were no specific lyrics, so I hummed it casually.

"Singing a lullaby at a time like this is like pushing yourself into a dream."

After Tezuka finished speaking, I laughed and continued humming the song.

Not only is the body exhausted, but the mind and consciousness are also approaching their limits.It's hard for me to think clearly, and the only thing that's circling in my mind is one thought.

That is, I really want to sleep, I really want to sleep.

Xiaosaki should be waiting for me in the dream, waiting for my questioning, waiting for my trial.But I can't even talk about the feeling of fear, because I am so sleepy, and most of my consciousness has been paralyzed.

I hummed intermittently, and Tezuka became silent.I thought Tezuka fell asleep before me, so I shouted with the last bit of reason, "Tezuka?"

"...um." He replied in a low voice.

Great, he wasn't asleep yet.

Actually, even if Tezuka was asleep, I don't think Kosaki would try to murder him.Because Kosaki likes Tezuka, if she really kills Tezuka, she will end up with nothing.What's more, she has no reason to have Killer Tomb.

Kosaki's target is me, so I'm the one who can't sleep.But Tezuka was always by my side, because he said he couldn't let me fall asleep, and if I fell asleep, he must shoulder the responsibility of waking me up.

"Are you sleepy...?" Tezuka asked.

I couldn't answer, I had lost the strength to speak.The eyelids are getting heavier and the vision is getting narrower and narrower.

"Don't be afraid. Even if you fall asleep, I will definitely wake you up."

Tezuka probably also understands that the end is approaching.He supported himself with a strong will and encouraged me in the last moments.

"One night, you must come back. You must come back to me... that's all."

His fingers gently hooked mine.

"...Now, you can sleep."

Tezuka's words freed me from the pain.I closed my eyes and listened to Tezuka's heartbeat for perhaps the last time.

"I……"

I haven't had time to say anything to Tezuka.There are a lot of things I want to do that I haven’t done yet. I want to learn to fish, learn to climb mountains, and I want to go to see Brocken’s ghost with Tezuka... There are also things I haven’t conveyed yet.

I fell in love with Tezuka.

Even if this is just a daydream that Kosaki gave me, it is the best dream of my life.

Tezuka...

All things are going away.And entering the dream is only a moment.

——"Long time no see, Youye."

Just as I expected, Kosaki was waiting for me in my dream at any time.When she saw me, she looked normal and greeted me with a playful smile as usual.

"It's really hard. In order to avoid me, you actually resisted not sleeping... Unfortunately, human beings are human beings. How can there be human beings who don't need to sleep? If they don't sleep, they will die."

Kosaki was smiling all over her face, but there was something terrifying behind that smile.

"You, you are indeed the one I fancy...you get along very well with Tezuka-kun...you are not just friends anymore? That's great...it's really great, these things, Huang Quanshu can't It can't be done no matter what. That incompetent guy... is really far worse than You Ye, so she has to die."

I stared blankly at Kosaki who said those words as if nothing had happened.

"Don't be so surprised!" Xiaosaki looked at me with a smile, "Don't you already know all these things? That woman Huang Quanshu told you everything... It was really my mistake. I didn't expect it to be just because of her After staying there for a while, this woman sucked away part of my abilities. Let her go to Tezuka, and then go to your place to inform."

"Suck away... your ability...?" I really couldn't understand what Xiaosaki said.

"Oh, you finally spoke, I thought Youye didn't want to talk to me anymore." Xiaosaki curled her hair with her fingers playfully, "Huang Quanshu is different from us, that guy is just an ordinary person... No, it should be said that she is just a mere inferior product of human beings. Of course, the only ones with this great ability are me and Youye from beginning to end."

"I'm also an ordinary person." I shook my head and said, "I'm just like Huang Quanshu, just an ordinary person."

"You are not! How could you be like her? That woman just accidentally took away a little bit of my ability when I was staying...just a little bit, so when she uses up my ability, she must It's still a dead end. Don't you understand? There is a night? You can't talk to Huang Quanshu, she can't hear you, because she is the same as those dead people who appeared in your dreams before, she has nothing special, she Just a failed experiment."

I hate the contemptuous and contemptuous tone that Kosaki spoke of Huang Quanshu.But according to Xiaosaki, Huang Quanshu is not a person who lives in the extreme daylight. It was just an accident that she broke into Tezuka and I's dream, but it still belongs to Xiaosaki's ability.

"That's why... the Yellow Spring Tree disappeared..."

Recalling the scene of the Huangquan tree being engulfed by the black mist, I couldn't help but start to tremble faintly.Is that the final picture of death?

"There is night, you don't have to be afraid of anything. You and I are different from those people... We live in the extreme daylight, and we will never see darkness."

"I don't understand……"

Kosaki started to get a little impatient.

"Really, You Ye usually doesn't even read story books? You should have heard of the tricks that adults lie to children! About our history..."

"Our... history...?" I was confused. "What the hell are you talking about...? We, what the hell are you referring to...?"

"Idiot..." Xiaosaki shrugged indifferently, "I'm not that interested in teaching you history here, so it's fine if you don't know. It's good if you don't know...you can continue to be a fool."

She didn't intend to continue explaining.

"Speaking of which, your name is really funny, Youye...what are the parents who gave you such a name thinking?"

Kosaki, my former "friend", suddenly swayed her legs and made fun of me as usual when chatting.

"Maybe, it's just to satirize people like me and you."

"Hahahaha...that's right, good sarcasm! For people like you and me, this kind of ridiculous name is perfect."

"Me and you...we do have a lot in common, but I guess we're not exactly the same."

The "friend" in my dream, Kosaki, showed a momentary surprise, and then immediately put on a different expression.

"Hey..." She smiled slyly.

"You, don't you want to know the cause of my death?... What if I say he killed me...?"

A cold chill spread all over my body, and my hairs stood on end.

I know very well that he is referring to Tezuka Kunimitsu.

That's right, the yellow spring tree is dead.Many, many people died.Only the dead will appear in my dreams, so Kosaki is already dead.

So, how did Kosaki die?When did you die?Why did you die?She never told me any of this.

"No, it won't...he won't do that."

I know what kind of person Tezuka is, I shook my head and said.Kosaki must be deceiving me.

"One night, you don't know anything, you just think you know. You don't even know what you are... It's really pitiful for you like this." Xiaosaki pretended to sigh, "I was not only caught by Tezuka Killed once, I have been killed countless times by him."

I can't breathe.Kosaki was talking about an unbelievable and terrifying thing in a joking tone.

"In order to meet Tezuka, I have died countless times. I have been searching and searching... just want to find a suitable body, but it is always so difficult." The expression on Xiaosaki's face gradually cooled down, "every one People are annoying, no one is willing to listen to me obediently... I have to kill one and find another, kill one and find another, and repeat... If I always gesture at the girl next to Tezuka, it will cause trouble. Doubtful, I had to go to those who would not attract too much attention but had the opportunity to get close to him... But they are all the same as Huang Quanshu, failure, failure, failure... No one likes Tezuka from the bottom of my heart like me, those people Hateful failure... only to be dealt with."

Having said that, she suddenly looked up at me.

"Only you, Youye, you are unique. I knew it when I met you on the first day of school...I had hope, and if it was you, it would be successful, because you are so special, so...like I."

"The first day of school...?" I asked with a trembling voice, "But I didn't encounter anything... on that day..."

"Haha, that's why I said you're an idiot!" Kosaki yelled, "Didn't you bump into Tezuka in the corridor? I was right there! I watched you bump into... Tezuka's freshman registration booklet dropped On the ground, you saw his name right then? What you don’t know is that after he picked up the manual and you each turned to leave, Tezuka looked back at your back... At that time, I I know, I know... this time I will definitely succeed."

"No... no..." I shook my head vigorously, "Why are you there?... I obviously didn't see anyone

arrive……"

"Of course you can't see me, because I don't have a body like yours. After Huang Quanshu died, I didn't find a new girl. I went directly...to Tezuka's."

A sense of vomiting came up inexplicably.I tried to suppress my trembling.

"I said, I can be anyone. Do you think I can only go to girls? Of course I can go to boys, I can go to anyone's dreams... It's just that Tezuka is different from others. It’s the same. He doesn’t believe in my existence... He thinks I’m just a pure dream, so I can’t stay in his memory anyway, I can’t directly affect his thoughts through dreams, let him remember me, identify with me... …that was a failed attempt, too.”

"You...you can't..." I could no longer suppress the feeling of vomiting, and I covered my mouth with my hand, "You are a monster...you are terrible..."

Kosaki floated around me.

"However, I met You Ye. A you who is exactly like me... What a gift from the gods, isn't it? I'm so happy, you are different from those bad girls, you can not only hear me, but also You can talk to me, you trust me, you like me...the most important thing is that you like Tezuka, and Tezuka also..."

Having said that, Kosaki stopped moving.

"Tezuka also... likes you."

As soon as the words fell, Kosaki burst into a maniacal laugh.I've never seen such an out-of-control Kosaki, deep fear is crawling into my heart.

"This is so perfect! You are the most perfect child I've ever met... I almost didn't have to work hard to make you two happy, so that when I replace you, Tezuka will directly take me As if it was you...he will like me as much as he likes you, he will never know that you actually live in me, because I know everything about Youye...I know what Youye likes, I know what Youye hates , know everything about Youye and her family's secrets, because Youye regards me as a good friend, she told me everything... I am you, Youye, we are exactly the same!"

"Don't-!" I screamed, "Stop--! It's not like that!"

"Are you scared? Do you regret it? Regret that you have made me your only friend... Youye, I really like you because you are so similar to me... But I also hate you because you make me Tezuka fell in love with you... Let Tezuka, who never knew I existed, fall in love with you, and from now on you are the only one in his eyes."

Kosaki's face and body began to contort, the dream became crumbling, and I could hear something crumbling.

"But that doesn't matter...Anyway, I've been here for a long time...Now, because of you, my wish can finally come true...I thank you, Youye, I really appreciate you...You The feeling of liking Tezuka is the same as mine... I can replace you immediately and go to Tezuka's side..."

The same black mist as when the Huangquan tree disappeared appeared all around, and Xiaosaki was manipulating the black mist to attack me.

Am I dying?Am I really about to die in a dream?

Tezuka...Tezuka...I still have a lot to say to Tezuka...

"Tezuka..." I suppressed my fear and said, "I like you... Tezuka... no matter where... I will..."

A pair of invisible hands tightly strangled my neck.

My body began to float in the air like Xiaosaki, there was no light in front of my eyes, and it was difficult to hear voices in my ears.

"It's a pity..." Kosaki, who turned into smoke, whispered next to me, "This child who was originally strong...but didn't know how to use his true ability...It's a pity...my only friend..."

The only friend...the only friend...

The sound is getting smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller.Until my world becomes completely silent.

This time, no one can wake me up again.
