Travel through the long dream millennium

"Big brother……"

As if she hadn't recovered from what Reinhardt said, the girl who called herself a girl tugged at the corner of her clothes helplessly, but the smile on her face was gradually disappearing.

"Little Rhine, do you know this Wu... this girl?"

In order to take care of Reinhardt who insisted on traveling with his injuries, Hong Yan deliberately followed their search team.

The little girl who single-handedly created a frozen scene that was no different from a deserted city obviously knew Reinhardt. It can be clearly seen from her surprise when she first met and the look of loss and fear now.

"She... I met in the deserted city when I was out on a mission before. At that time, I thought she was just a supernatural being who was about to hatch, but I didn't expect... the background is much bigger than I imagined."

Shaking his head helplessly, Reinhard never expected that he and the girl who sternly refused to go to the holy city would meet again in such a situation.

They met at that time, but their identities were very different.

"You are dressed exactly like those people...Are you going to kill me too?"

Staggering back a few steps, the girl's right hand tightly grasped the "necklace" that lost the pendant and only had a bare rope, and there was no trace of blood on her pale face.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Reinhard turned his head slightly, and his eyes fell on the ice and snow field that seemed to have no boundaries at first glance, and his heart was dark.

"Sorry...we have no choice."

"You have no choice—" the little girl laughed miserably, and repeated several times to herself, but the last touch of color in her eyes gradually dimmed, "Do I have it?!"

"It's all like this...you are all like this..."

"From the beginning, it was a lie, a liar! A liar!"

Compared with the despair that was dark at the beginning, falling into the abyss again when the hope is within reach may be even more terrifying to the hearts of the people.

The last beliefs were all denied and abandoned by the people who had placed their hopes in them. The girl didn't care much about everything in the world, and a majestic and raging desire to destroy hit her mind, staining everything she saw with blood.

So sad……

so painful...

Why does my heart hurt like I'm about to die...

The trembling little hand was close to her chest that was about to burst, and she no longer wanted to think about the so-called friends and destination.The little girl only knew that she was very sad and very unhappy...

So why are other people still laughing happily...

Can you still live so easily?

Don't even think about it.

Don't even think about it!

"Fast back!!"

An unprecedented sense of crisis that almost made the hairs stand on end exploded in Hong Yan's heart like fireworks. She let out a terrified roar almost without thinking, and at the same time grabbed Reinhardt who was not far away from her and quickly retreated.

Among the few people who moved with them, except for one supernatural user who was good at speed to react and escaped, the others all blended with the surrounding environment and became a ghost under the frost and snow. victim.

"She's out of control."

Swallowing with difficulty, Hong Yan rubbed her almost frozen cheeks, her complexion was extremely ugly.

"You can't let her go like this—"

Seeing that the short and thin figure didn't seem to notice the existence of the three escaped fish here, Reinhardt, who chose to walk in the previously established direction without looking back, suddenly became anxious, "She now The place to go is clearly the holy city!"

Every time you take a step, the surrounding temperature drops a little bit, and the speed at which the ice and snow freezes and spreads becomes even more frightening... If a girl in this state is allowed to approach the unsuspecting Holy City, God knows what kind of tragedy it will lead to.

"But...we can't stop her at all..."

The young teammate who narrowly escaped the catastrophe by relying on the wind ability that can make the body lighter and more agile wiped his forehead. Covered in cold sweat of narrow escape.

"Don't worry, the captain has already made arrangements at the end of this forest."

Hong Yan patted Reinhardt's shoulder comfortingly, and said in a warm voice.

"I don't know why she is so obsessed with the Holy City." Speaking of this, Hong Yan shook her head in confusion, "The deserted city is more than a month away from the Holy City. At her age, even if it is Relying on the status of a weapon, I definitely suffered a lot on the road."

"It was my fault."

Squeezing out a few weak words from his mouth dryly, Reinhard's heart was filled with unprecedented powerlessness and exhaustion.He closed his eyes in an evasive way to avoid the shocked and incredulous eyes of the other two, "I met her in the deserted city and invited her to the holy city."

"I told her that she can find a home there."

"..."

Hong Yan and the other person looked at each other in blank dismay, and now recalling the promises they made back then, it suddenly became a ridiculous and absurd joke.

"This...it's not your fault, little Rhine," he said dryly, the heavy and stiff atmosphere is really uncomfortable, Hong Yan laughed a few times and then changed the subject. "...It's not a solution for us to wait here. Go and join the captain first. Maybe the vanguard has already collided with that weapon."

----------------

"Tick tock..."

A drop of pure white blood slipped from the lacerated wound on his left arm, and before it hit the ground, it had condensed into beads and rolled several meters away.

Tilting his head, his puppet-like delicate but numb face belatedly showed a weak reaction to the sudden pain.The girl frowned slightly, and her other hand clumsily covered the wound opened by the iron fragments.

"It hurts..." She complained softly.

"Look at the color of that blood!"

"Pure white!"

"It really is that kind of monster..."

"Absolutely don't let her get close to the holy city!"

"Kill it!"

"Kill it!"

"Kill it!!"

Unknowingly, the little girl who was surrounded by a large group looked around blankly. She didn't know who this group of people wearing the same style of white clothes was. , who can shoot a bow that explodes.

Before those bows and arrows are frozen, they will explode first, and the iron fragments flying around will always slip through the net, hitting the body and face, which will be a deep wound.

In the world covered by ice and snow, a person soaked in snow-white blood was not very conspicuous. After barely freezing the bleeding wound again, she finally lost the strength to stand. After a severe dizziness, Xiao The girl fell and sat in the snow formed by herself.

In the next second, the overwhelming crossbow arrows continued to fall towards her location like raindrops.

Seeing the star-like arrows shining with coldness, the girl who curled herself up into a ball, revealing only a small snow-white face and looking up at her, unconsciously stretched out her hand to touch those An existence that will take away your own life in the next instant.

"So lovely."

She still remembered that the beautiful big sister who took her in the deserted city told her that only very few people could see the fleeting but beautiful and bright shooting stars in the night sky. And the short-term wish of the stars can realize the wish in the bottom of my heart.

She had always wanted to ask her eldest sister if she had ever seen such a shooting star, but not long after, her eldest sister died at the hands of those gangsters in the deserted city... She probably didn't have time to see it.

Small, shiny, traces across the sky, are these the shooting stars that the big sister said?

A shooting star that grants wishes.

Then can she make a wish to them, a small, insignificant wish——

"I want a friend."

"A friend who can smile at me."

The little girl slowly closed her eyes and made a small wish.

"Hey, hey, hey, the day is bright and the world is bright, a group of defenders of the holy city are besieging a little girl carelessly, isn't it too unreasonable?"

The crossbow arrows not far away had just exploded in mid-air, and the smoke and dust scattered in all directions and the noise shook the sky. The man who entered the battlefield abruptly had a tall and tall figure, and his slightly wide clothes flapped in the wind.

The man who came out of nowhere suddenly lifted his collar and took advantage of the opportunity to avoid the big wave of crossbow arrows. The girl's eyes were rounded, and she looked at her through the exaggerated and funny mask with a confused face. Stare small.

After a moment of stalemate, the masked man broke the silence.

"What is your name?"

"...Girl."

"Where do you come from?"

"Desolate city."

"Where are you going?"

"Holy city."

"Coincidentally, they all go to the same place, do you want to hang out with brother?"

"..."

Taking a deep breath, the little girl suddenly raised her hand and hugged that white and slender wrist, just like a koala or a rolling bamboo that would not let go.

"Say yes, don't lie."

"Of course, of course, I don't think there are too many little brothers."

The man in the weird mask replied with a smile.

"...If you lie to me, I will kill you!"

"You're so young, what are you doing screaming and killing all day long?" Even though most of her face was blocked by a mask, the girl could still see the deep helplessness and irony in the other's eyes. "Underage children should not commit secondary school two. Supplementing more calcium is the last word."

"I'm not a child anymore!"

The girl puffed her cheeks and complained dissatisfiedly.

"Every kid has said that."

Leaning slightly, he put the girl on the ground properly, motioning her to hide behind him, and the masked man greeted the angry, resentful and fearful beings in the encirclement with a half-smile. Said, "Hey, good afternoon, have you eaten yet?"

"...Who are you?"

The leading man had a handsome face with deep outlines, his deeply pursed lips and heavy nasolabial folds added a sense of oppression and sternness.At this time, he was staring at the unexpected guest who suddenly entered and completely destroyed their hard-working plan with his extremely deep, blue eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

【This is the captain that Reinhardt has been talking about?Not to mention anything else, just looking at the practice is quite bold. 】

The masked man—that is, Gu Changli slandered secretly in his heart.

"A kind-hearted man who draws his sword to help when encountering injustice, if you have to find a name, you can call me Red Scarf."

He spread his hands like a rascal, and said in a frivolous tone to the people in the holy city who were facing an enemy in front of them.

"Well, Brother Hong, what a nice name!"

The little girl behind him tugged at his cuff excitedly, shouted excitedly with her big eyes shining.

Gu Changli: "..."
