Dipper spread his wings the moment he was about to land, but because of the broken phalanx of his wings, his landing was not as smooth as expected, and he walked forward a few wobbly steps before stabilizing his figure.

"That rascal……"

【died. 】

died.

Dipper finds that he's... quite numb to the word now. When Stan died, he still shed a couple of tears anyway, but then he didn't have that chance.He has seen too much death, and has caused a lot of death with his own hands.He felt that it would be strange if he still felt sad, and there would always be such a feeling of fake compassion.So getting used to it is actually a very lucky thing.

horrible?No, he didn't feel terrible.I'm already heartbroken, it's strange to feel scary, isn't it?

【Wow, I thought you were going to cry.I didn't expect you to adjust so quickly, and your mentality is not bad, you don't look like a human being at all. 】

"I'm not human anymore, you don't need to test me with such words anymore, Bill." He didn't change his face, "I just think that guy is a pity."

The boy himself.

The young professor closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the whites of his eyes were pitch black.

"What kind of magical existence is Mabeland? As the person who created it, shouldn't you explain it?"

【Hmm...that's how it is. When I built it, I was in a state of half-regarding it. I just gave the control to ShootingStar after I built it. Can you understand what I mean? 】

"Escrow?"

【almost.But I gave Mabeland a special order, once ShootingStar made up her mind to leave Meteor Bubble, then her control right will be deprived, and Mabeland will take the responsibility of eliminating the others. 】

"That is to say," he groped forward in the dark, "Mabeland has self-awareness?"

[It's more like a large computer than self-awareness.It has excellent computing power, and can draw the conclusion that the commander wants in an extremely short period of time.After the only instruction is violated, Mabeland can also mobilize the anti-virus program to clean the interior...] Bill cut the steak, the sound of the blade falling on the porcelain plate was clear and pleasant, and the meat was lying between the blood and the knife, [To be honest, this A large computer is much easier to build than an intelligent AI.emotion?I really hate that kind of stuff. 】

I don't know what "Dipper" did to the ground, the underground space is dark, and Wendy and Soos are also separated from him.The young man squinted his eyes and thought for a while. He grabbed the edge of the glove with his teeth, freed his palm, and snapped his fingers. Blue flames danced at his fingertips.

"Hey! Dipper!"

Wendy poked her head out from behind him.

He was taken aback, the flame fell to the ground, emitting a dim light beside him.

"...Wendy? When did you arrive?"

"Just now."

[Bill? 】

[I didn't hear her footsteps. 】

The girl shrugged her shoulders and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Dude, are you going to take the gentleman's route now and make yourself so handsome?"

From Wendy's point of view, Dipper is really handsome. The boys in Gravity Spring are either Robbie's kind of sad two-year-old boy, or Lee's unrepentant brat, with a few big otakus like Soos mixed in between.

Gideon was too young to count.

Dipper is not very old, but I don't know if it is because Meteor Bubble can get what he wants. He looks about the same age as Wendy on the outside, and people who say that Wendy's classmates believe it.The young men wore suits with meticulous cufflinks and collar clips.His hands were covered with white silk gloves, and he was holding a cane that was standard for a gentleman.

For Wendy, who has been poisoned by rebellious teenagers, Dipper is a clean stream.

He smiled softly when he heard Wendy's question, half of his face was covered with blue soft light by the flames, and he looked gentle and shy.

"That's not the case."

"I'm serious, buddy," Wendy gasped in amazement, "you have way better clothes than Robbie."

[...I actually heard someone praise your clothes, it really is the end of the day. 】

Dipper ignored Bill's complaints, he was really happy to hear that.

"Really? Wendy, I've been wanting to talk to you about Robbie's jumper, it's so bad, really."

Wendy laughed very loudly.

"Yes, yes, that one is really super high school two. I will tell you quietly that he has been wearing that dress since junior high school until now."

Dipper laughed too, he was always good at taunting Robbie. Bill rolled his eyes, and put a blood-soaked steak into his mouth.The red-haired girl circled around Dipper, she put her hands behind her back, and when she tilted her head, a few strands of hair slipped from her shoulders to her waist.

"Dipper, did I ever tell you that you're far smarter than anyone else. Seriously, you..." Wendy took a deep breath, seeming to make up her mind, "Would you consider dating me? "

Dipper's head was filled with the sound of spraying water and coughing.

Say the first sentence, and the rest will be much easier than before. Wendy spoke quickly:

"I, I'm serious, Dipper. Actually, I also had a little bit of interest in you before. You are smart and brave, and you will stand in front of me when you encounter danger. Although sometimes I can fight more than you."

The voice in Dipper's head had changed from coughing to laughing and coughing.

The girl didn't know the little theater in the brain of the person in front of her.She scratched her face with her nails, a little embarrassed.

"However, you also know that there is a big difference in our ages. So before, I didn't dare to tell you this. I wanted to bury my feelings for you in my heart...but it's different now, Dipper, you Didn't you realize that you've grown up a lot?"

Dipper smiled and nodded, motioning for the girl to continue.

"According to my observation, the inside of the meteor bubble should be able to change the appearance according to your liking." The girl clenched her fists, "Dipper...are you willing to stay with me forever?"

After hearing the girl's confession, Dipper didn't respond in a hurry, but put the gloves back in a calm manner.Then he looked up and looked directly into Wendy's beautiful green eyes.

Then he said:

"Wendy, do you know that I slept with men?"

The girl had an expression of being struck by lightning.

Bill had already crawled under the table laughing.

The amount of information is a bit large, and even the supercomputer Mabeland was shocked to the freezer.He circled "Wendy", pacing back and forth.

"Mabeland, I heard that you can read my heart?"

Dipper held up his right hand, and he curled his ring finger and little finger.He made a shooting motion.

The young devil still had a refreshing smile on his face, and his lips moved.

He said: bang.

"Wendy" stretched out her hand, and her movements were a little stiff; the girl trembled and touched her face.

A large chunk of her face was missing.Not only her face, but half of her head was missing.There were red, white and white debris inside, and a few bugs crawled around intermittently.

Dipper tilted his head slightly, there was nothing shy and gentle about it, his eyes were cold when he was not smiling, his golden pupils were hidden between the black sclera, and seeing that golden light in the distance was like a sharp arrow about to be shot.

"You know what? This is what Wendy looks like the most in my heart."

The worm pile collapsed.

Dipper stood in the middle of the street, near a hole about a person's height; he tightened his gloves without changing his expression, waiting for the blackness in front of his eyes to fade completely.In fact, he has already come to the ground.

"'Dipper' should want to help us," he revealed his analysis to Bill, "walking underground will save you from Mabeland's trap."

It actually worked, at least he didn't have any trouble in the dark.But I didn't expect Mabeland to move so fast. It didn't have time to attack the ground, so it simply pretended to exit.

The toe of the moccasin lightly tapped the ground, and Dipper looked up at the rainbow clock. Five minutes had passed, and the two still hadn't come out.

He sighed, changed the crutch to another hand, and turned away from the cave.

[Wait no longer? 】

"That's not necessary," Dipper pressed his forehead, he looked a little tired, "they can't get out."

I don't know if it was Mabeland's order, but Dipper walked very quietly along the way. There were no hamburgers flying all over the sky, and there were no plush dolls that could sing rock and roll.

[This road is really quiet and annoying,] Bill flipped the cards in his hand, [I hate this lifeless feeling. 】

"You built these dead things first, and now you're complaining?"

The stone tower is too far away, Dipper thought to himself, and the crutch hit the ground hard, and he jumped high with the force, and then ran wildly on the eaves.

The scenery receded rapidly on both sides of him, and the whistling wind was all around his ears.His speed is extremely fast, although it is not as fast as flying, but it is enough.

"...I remember that the last time I came here, I was taken by someone. Why didn't I see those two people this time?"

An odd smirk rolled in Bill's throat.

[Could it be that you expect everything to remain the same?wake up. 】

"...Okay, okay, what you said makes sense."

He hooked a branch with the crooked end of his cane, and Dipper flew forward. The moment he landed, the scenery changed.

Dipper remembered that he landed on the beach, why... turned into ruins?Isn't he in the meteor bubble, when did he come out?

He bowed his head, holding a crowbar instead of a crutch in his hand.The white coat was so dirty that the original color could not be seen. Dipper took a few steps forward, and in front of him was the burning gravity well. Mabel lowered his head, his exposed skin shriveled like rotten wood, and Dipper walked past her without changing his expression.

The roads are full of vehicles, but they are not parked in a standard way, one car and two cars leaning east and west.Some windshields were shattered through the bottom, some doors were wide open, and the leather seats were covered with blood.

Dipper was a little annoyed, he snapped his fingers, trying to burn all these obstacles, but he didn't feel the familiar temperature after waiting for a long time.He lowered his head in a daze, and found that no matter what he did, he couldn't hit the blue flame.

His nails were still the familiar transparent color, neither blackened nor lengthened.

"...Bill?"

No one answered him.The heart is empty, and there has never been a second soul jumping here.

Nothing has actually changed, no demons, no flames, no Gravity Fountain from ten years ago.He's always been the Mason Pines hiding in the apocalypse, struggling for a sip of water.

The young man felt the pain of a dry and cracked lower lip. When he raised his head, there were metal ruins in front of him again. Jennifer's neck was pierced by steel bars, and her gauze skirt was buried in blood.

Dipper used a crowbar to push aside the female student's body, and the stench of blood dripped down the back of his hand along the girl's limp ankle.The moment he felt the cold, his fingers trembled for a while, and then returned to normal immediately. Professor Pines pushed his student away and continued walking.

This time he saw Wendy standing at the intersection, blood and brains flowing down the cut.She shook a few times in front of Dipper, and then fell to the ground like mud.

He passed Wendy's body, but his steps started to slow, and he continued to move forward.His colleague Lucy pushed the two assistants away, but she didn't have time to get away, the back of the head was slapped hard by the concrete, her eyes were wide open, blood snaked down from the corners of her eyes and lips, and fell at Dipper's feet.She was still clutching her phone, and the last time the screen lit up, she was on a call with someone with the note "Honey."

The moment blood and brains splashed onto his cheeks, he finally stopped in his tracks.

Dipper lowered his head, he wiped the filth off his face, his palms were full of dirt and small wounds.He felt tired, thirsty, and weary.

This road is so long that there is no end in sight.

"...Tree."

He saw Lucy's blood spread to his feet, and more blood gushed from his feet.A slender hand grabbed his ankle, and Melody emerged from the pool of blood, a bloody hollow between his brows.

She gave Dipper a familiar smile, blood trickling from her teeth down her jaw and into a pool of blood.

"Dipper, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

More familiar faces emerged one after another from the pool of blood - Soos who also had a blood hole between his eyebrows, Ford with a pale complexion, and those dead colleagues and students...

They all reached out and grabbed Dipper's leg tightly.They raised their heads together, like blooming flowers, the dead body left one bloody palm print after another on his leg.

"Dipper/Pines," their lips moved, blood running down their cold pale skin, "We've been waiting for you for a long time..."

"PineTree!"

"!"

Dipper took a deep breath, and Bill grabbed him by the collar, pulling him hard into the bleeding pool.The boy lay on the ground coughing.

Bill kicked back a hand that had been extended to his feet, his golden eyes were astonishingly bright, and the pupils were as thin as lines.

"My God..." He felt that all his share of shock over the years had been spent on the boy, "What the hell is going on in your head?"

Mabeland only amplifies what people think.It can't enlarge the ones that are not deeply impressed, it can only keep them buried in the corner of memory.

But it can be so rampant now, it can only explain one point:

This is the most impressive picture of Dipper.

And it has become like this, "Day of Annihilation" and "Apocalypse" are mixed together, and Palo Alto is mixed with Gravity Spring. It is hard to imagine that there is no indulgence of Dipper.

Even Bill can't help but sigh, it's double hell.

Dipper has a good brain, remembers the alleys and dirt roads, the two towns are closed and mixed like the scene in "Inception", the sky of Palo Alto is the street of Gravity Spring, almost created for himself in the meteor bubble A closed space. Bill had one head and two big ones, and finally found Dipper after wandering around.As a result, half of the boy's body was dragged into the pool of blood by the dead body.

The complexity of the brain literally goes down in the history books.

A sense of pride rose suddenly and inappropriately in the one-eyed demon.

But now is obviously not the time to think about these things, no matter how complicated this scene is, we can't keep it. Bill looked down at the pool of blood.

"...I didn't expect you to stay away for so long."

The lingering nightmare deep in his heart is an unforgettable cross that belongs to sinners that he carries behind him all the time.

Dipper was silent.

Bill said, "You've got to destroy them."

Destroy your own nightmare, destroy these familiar faces.

It's hard, Bill knows, but young people have to do it.

He looked at the boy, and Dipper looked down, wondering what he was thinking. Bill was a little irritable, he didn't want to get too involved with Dipper on this matter, they didn't have the time.The fingertips were on fire, and Bill was going to deal with the kid directly.

"Bill."

Dipper spoke suddenly. Bill looked back at him.

"How did you get out in the first place?"

He asked this question without thinking, which made people confused at first glance.But Bill knew what he was asking.

After all, it is estimated that only the two of them have such experience in the whole universe.

Flames danced between his fingers.

"I've never come out," said his face flickering under the light of the fire, "but one day I suddenly realized that I can't even remember my mother's face."

"How long did it take?" Dipper's voice was very soft.

Dipper saw the flame falling from Bill's fingertips, and the moment it touched the pool of blood, it turned into a prairie fire.

"long time."

The blue flame was burning quietly, bit by bit eating away at the scarlet blood pool; the dead bodies inside were also unexpectedly quiet, they stopped moving as soon as the blood pool was burning, and just opened their eyes, watching Dipper silently.

He didn't say a word until he was completely burned by the flames.They just stared at the boy with wide eyes.

It seems to be dead.

As the pool of blood burned, the false space gradually collapsed.They returned to the sandy beach of Mabeland, before the stone towers adorned with shells and meteors.

In the stone tower is the princess waiting for rescue.

Dipper silently looked around, but Bill was not there.It was just a story that happened in my head.

Mabeland probably deceived his senses, and even interfered with his conscious space.Otherwise he wouldn't miss Bill, and the guy wouldn't be alone.

Damn, didn't expect Mabeland to invade so quickly.

[There are guards at the door, let's go in? 】

Dipper glanced at the top of the tower.

"No, just fly in."

He squatted on the ground, with wings protruding from his waist. The left half was a complete, smooth as new bat wing; the frontmost phalanx on the right half was skewed in a strange posture, and the skin was twisted together.

The recovery speed of the demon has always been very fast, but if the bone injury is not treated as soon as possible, it is easy to grow crooked.

The young man knelt down on one knee, stretched out his right wing in front of him, grabbed a wing bone with each hand, and snapped hard——

He tore off the twisted membrane together.

Dipper didn't change his expression after finishing all this, but his breathing was slightly short.He didn't have time to wait, the newborn demon flapped its wings and flew crookedly towards the stone tower where the princess was imprisoned.

The air current brushed against the wound and it was hot and painful. Wings have always been the devil's weakness. When he was flying, he accidentally bumped into the stone tower and took a few stones with him. When the waffle guard found it, he kept shouting, "There is an enemy attack!" !" Bill was speechless, trying to gain control of his body, threw a few flame bombs down, and then crawled into the bedroom.

"Come on," he told Dipper.

The young professor rushed to Mabel's bed, where his sister was fast asleep. Mabel likes to snore when she sleeps, the sound is not heavy, just like a pig, and she hums and chirps occasionally.It's quite a habit to listen to too much.

He stopped suddenly by the bed.

Next, Alcor only needs to move his arm, and then poke the meteor bubble, then he can take Mabel out and end this false world completely.

... But is it really okay to do this?

Then he sent his helpless sister to face this cannibal hell with those guys?

How did she die, do you remember? Dipper Pines?

The tips of his ears could already catch the noisy voices of the guards downstairs. Bill urges him to hurry up in the back of his mind.

Dipper knelt beside the bed, he was already tall and was about to regain his normal height, unable to sit on the side of the bed.

He bowed his head, a hoarse laugh rolling in his throat.The laughter was intermittent and broken.

He thought he didn't have the courage anymore.That's the only thing he can't afford to bet on.

He didn't dare to gamble.

At the age of 12, he was full of hope and had the courage to be an enemy of the world, thinking that as long as he never gave up, he would turn the world upside down.Then at the age of 22, I fell to pieces and finally understood what a chasm is; whether you admit defeat or not has nothing to do with the result.

He woke up too late, understood too late, and learned too much.

He took his sister's hand, holding a small hand in his big hand, and his dark eyes reflected the girl's face.She was in a deep sleep, and her cheeks were as rosy as rosebuds.

"I see," he said, "the 'DipperPines' in your heart."

Dipper took her hand and leaned gently against the side of his face.When he leaned on it, he moved cautiously, as if he was dealing with some precious and fragile item, the warmth of human skin was continuously transmitted to the bottom of the devil's heart.

"I thought you'd make a 'DippyFresh', the kind that likes skateboarding, says three sentences and claps once;" Dipper laughed at himself when he said this, "the kind of boy we thought was cool when we were teenagers. I I thought you'd make one like this."

like before.But you don't.

"That guy is exactly the same as the 12-year-old me."

That was him in the past.

"He reminded me," the young devil said with a smile, but his brows were drooping, his eyes were gentle and affectionate, "what you want is to be the same as in the past, to be able to laugh with you, to play with you, to be happy because of a little My younger brother who laughed at childish little things all afternoon."

Light pierced through the window and fell on Alcor's eyes, which were cracked gold.Gold surged in the depths of the eyes, as if it would fall to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"But I can't do it," he gasped lightly, "only this, I can't give it to you."

"I can not go back."

"Am I too much? I deprived you of your once happy childhood, but now I still want you to be happy shamelessly."

The voices got closer and closer, and he could almost hear the guards coming upstairs.

"What a stupid and humble person I am."

The flowing gold dangled in his eyes, but it didn't fall down in the end.

"I hope that in the not-too-distant future, there will be someone who can love you, who can do what I have done, and who can do for me what I can't. He will hold you in his arms every day, and give you a sweet smile in the morning. He will bring you a strawberry cake on the corner of the street with thick frosting when he gets off work. He will travel through the boundless forest to find a leaf for you, and he will hold an umbrella for you to enjoy the first snow in winter He will take you to dance, take you to play video games, and watch "Pounding Heartbeat" with you on the sofa on weekends. Those days will be as beautiful as the first light in the morning, and as sweet as icing on strawberries. It will eventually drive hordes of unicorns across the rainbow bridge that spans thousands of miles, and descend on you."

The demon lowered his head for the first time, and the light hit his hair. From a distance, it seemed that there was a circle of colorful halos on his forehead.His eyes were closed and his side face was filled with endless tranquility and tenderness.

The guards yelled and finally kicked down the gate.The sleeping princess opened her eyes slightly, she was not completely out of sleep, she only felt someone gently kissing her hand.

The man was in the light with a pair of wings behind him.

She thought in a daze: ...is it...an angel?

"I hope that the people you meet in the future will no longer be such a jerk like me."

She woke up suddenly.

"DI—"

The devil laughed and fell from the window with his back to the light.

The princess rushed to the window, and all she saw was a big hole in the ground, and there were flames and wasteland below.Her brother, engulfed in a hollow, gave her a warm smile.

The warrior did not take the princess away.He chose to face hell alone.

The hell called reality.
