[Comprehensive] There are thirteen days left until the collapse of the Honmaru

The author has something to say: Thank you Jiusi for mine!Chirp!

Although the sewer had insufficient light and the water in the sewer looked pitch black, it was actually not very deep—at least Sanri Yuezong was sitting in the water with a dazed face, and the water only reached his knees.

Although I guessed that after saying this sentence, the little girl might be angry... But I didn't expect to be kicked down so neatly.

It always feels like she's been wanting to do this for a long time...

Thoughts turned sharply in his mind, the old man still showed an aggrieved look on the surface, allowing the water to wet his clothes, just sitting pitifully in the water and refusing to get up.

Yasuhara Tokiha stared at his innocent and obedient expression, only felt angry and funny, and at the same time restrained the light on his body, leaving only a small white light ball suspended above the two of them for lighting work.

"Okay, okay, get up."

She stretched out her hand to pull Sanriyue Zongjin up, but unexpectedly, the other party's hand pulled her into the water with force.It's not over yet, because the little girl didn't have much defense against her at this time, San Riyue directly pulled her into her arms, and hugged her tightly!

"Hahahaha, okay, okay, it's fair now, little girl, don't be angry."

Yasuhara Tokiha: ...Mom, is there such a show operation?

But what kind of fairness is this!Don't sit in the smelly sewage to comfort the person in your arms if you have the ability!

An Yuan felt that this guy was simply unreasonable. The legendary high-cold character set like a crescent moon in the sky was all tainted in this puddle of stinky water.

She struggled hard to escape, but was hugged even tighter by the other party, as if holding the only life-saving straw.

"That's enough, you, let me go! Otherwise, I'm going to be angry! I'm really angry!"

Sanriyue knew that if she wanted to deal with a tsundere, no matter if it was the invisible or straightforward type, all she had to do was listen to their words in reverse.

So he refused to let go, and still hugged the poor girl tightly, almost rolling in the water—or rather, he didn't dare to let go, fearing that he would be beaten if he let go.

So he said in a deep and sad tone: "Little girl..."

"...Huh?" An Yuan was forced to raise his vigilance by this unconventional playing of cards.

"Actually, Grandpa, I'm... very happy to see you again."

Sanri Yuezong lowered his head and stared at the girl who was imprisoned in his arms, and the latter was also looking at him in horror, forgetting to struggle for a while, as if he had taken the wrong fake medicine.

Maybe Yasuhara Tokiha's expression was too shocked and amused him, and he suddenly smiled lightly.

At this moment, no matter how dirty or dark the sewer was, it couldn't stop the light in his smile.

"Listen to me, then you can make a decision, my lord." As he said this, he lowered his head slightly, and put his forehead against the girl's forehead. As the distance suddenly drew closer, the crescent-shaped narrow and long His eyes also stared straight into Yasuhara Tokiha's heart.

"Maybe the lord will be angry with my grandfather's behavior of cutting first and playing later, and maybe you will also feel that life seems to have lost its direction and meaning of existence. But lord, for the moon, no matter how praised its moonlight is , but in fact, its brilliance always comes from the star named the sun. If there is no unique sun, the existence of the moon is naturally just like the thousands of stars in the universe. It is inconspicuous, it does not shine, and It cannot be said to be a unique existence...you made me, little girl, so I don't want you to go out."

"Do you still remember what I said before your sickbed...'No matter what happens, I will definitely protect you to the end—this is my sword as the master, and I can give you the most important promise." I think Now the little girl probably understands that the way I protect you may be different from others." Having said this, he paused, as if he was looking for suitable words to describe this complicated psychology, "Because I know' The premise that the star may go out, I can't stand by and pretend to be ignorant. So even if you don't understand me and hate me afterwards, as long as you can keep that light shining, for me, grandpa, everything The sacrifices are worth it."

The tone of Mikazuki Zongjin's words was very gentle and sincere, but Yasuhara Tokiha could see the intense emotions struggling in the depths of his eyes constantly surging up and down like an undercurrent in the bottom of the sea.

For a while, she didn't speak, and there were only the quiet breathing of two people and the sound of water flowing in the sewer.

Suddenly, Yasuhara Tokiha asked: "Even if I will never forgive you for what you did, if you go back in time and do it again, would you still do that?"

Sanriyue smiled without thinking, "Of course, the little girl is my star. Even if she dies in the scorching heat in the next second, it's better than being buried in the cold universe without a name?"

There is an indescribable calmness and relief in his words, giving people a cruel and romantic sense of contradiction.

But An Yuan didn't show any expression of being moved. Instead, he grabbed him by the collar and yelled harshly: "You always said that you were thinking about me and sacrificing for me—but have you ever thought about it?" , When I learned my true identity, what kind of mood did I feel! My originally planned life is now completely destroyed! Do you know this feeling! After living for 18 years, when I woke up and found my Memories are all false, those relatives and friends are all NPC data, even! Even this world is just a firewall! After learning this information, why do you think I should be happy?!"

Even though it was indecent to be grabbed by the collar, San Riyue still had a very calm expression on her face, "Are you sure you really lived for 18 years?"

An Yuan was taken aback, and unknowingly let go of his hand, "What do you mean by that?"

"...You are the source code of our world. Counting from the day you were born is your real lifespan." San Riyue taught her to think on a deeper level, "Even if it is complex data, It will not be used from 18 years ago to the present. What's more, the entire game from the open server to the closed beta, to the catastrophe that closed the server, and finally to today, the total time of all the time is not two months, right?"

Yasuhara Tokiha was completely stunned: "..."

"Admit it, lord, you were born for us. Or in other words, when the administrators above needed you, the consciousness of 'you' was born. Before that, I'm afraid it was just an ignorant It’s just the world awareness you understand—if we don’t malfunction, you won’t have self-awareness. Just like that, ordinary birth, trying to do a good job in a world, and then being destroyed when it expires..."

"Enough! Don't talk anymore!" She yelled and jumped up to interrupt the other party, who really stopped talking.But when An Yuan looked down at Sanri Yue Zongjin condescendingly, the gap in sight did not bring her any warmth, she only felt a chill in her heart.

"What are you doing..." Yasuhara Tokiha asked tremblingly, she only felt the steam rising from her eyes, "Tell me this? Can't you let me... be an ignorant but happy human being?"

"I'm sorry...but Grandpa, I think you have the right to know these things. Then decide how to go the rest of the way." After saying this, San Riyue stared quietly at him with eyes full of sadness and melancholy. Watching her, waiting for her to make a choice.

But until the end, Yasuhara Tokiha didn't answer this question directly. She just muttered to herself, covering her heart that was about to stop beating with one hand, "It's too much... Mikazuki, you are too much... Get out! I'm dead today. I'm so angry, I don't want to see you again!"

"……I understand."

The old man who had been relying on himself to get up slowly stood up, and the sewage and dregs on his body evaporated quickly under the action of spiritual power.

Anyuan looked at Sanriyue with complicated eyes, but his face just showed a very apologetic expression, "I'm sorry...Grandpa, I just want you to understand that in [Cruel Freedom] and [False Happiness] , which answer would you choose."

Before he finished speaking, his figure gradually dissipated in the air like other Fusangshen.

All figures disappeared.

The white ball of light above his head was still working tirelessly, but Yasuhara Tokiha lowered his head and looked at his face on the dark water surface covered with the words almost collapsed, and suddenly felt very strange.

——Is this still my face?

An Yuan stood in the gurgling water, raised his head and stared at the ball of light, but in fact he was just stubborn and didn't want tears to flow from his eyes.

In fact, she knew what Sanri Yue Zongjin said the moment she opened her eyes, and she also knew that he didn't tell any lies to fool her this time - but because of this, the truth often makes people overwhelmed with pain.So some things, if others don't remind you, if you just face it by yourself, you will deliberately ignore it.

Anyone who has watched the movie "The Matrix" knows that the protagonist in the movie once faced the same problem as her-is he indulging in the illusory world of happiness?Or join the rebel organization in the ruins to fight "Skynet" and the robot army to the death?

Everyone has their own way of life, and we cannot force everyone to join the Rebel Army, but not everyone likes virtual happiness.

But the real reason why Yasuhara Shiyu was angry was because she knew that she had been seen through by Sankayue—he had seen through her pursuit of freedom and truth, so she laid out all the cards, clearly, Clearly present the situation in front of her.

Is it imprisoned alive, waiting to be destroyed someday?

Or rise up and resist, even if the final outcome is not satisfactory?

At this moment of difficult decision, Tokyu Yasuhara suddenly remembered the goddess stick on the bus. Now it seems that she should be the legendary "free person". Maybe she got off the bus and left quickly after foreseeing the coming disaster in advance. .

But before he left, the other party said that his [now] was in the predicament of [tower], but the [future] card was painted on [world].Somebody seemed to have uncovered the answer to the mystery, but it was a pity that she hadn't thought of this at the beginning.

But is a source code that symbolizes a world like her very rare... Otherwise, why did that magic stick run away so madly?

When she was thinking alone, she suddenly caught the sound of a strange footstep coming from the other end of the sewer, and the interval between each sound was just right, as if she was stepping on a fixed number of seconds. .

Yasuhara Tokiha turned his face to look sideways, and saw a monk wearing a black monk robe and a bamboo hat walking from the darkness into the range of the light ball. in sewage.If this person was placed outside, everyone would think that he was just an ordinary monk who came out for alms, but since he appeared here at this time...

When she saw the person coming, An Yuan felt a great sense of panic in her heart. She knew that she didn't have many choices - after all, it felt like an eagle staring at the prey in the mountains, or like a bird in the deep sea. Sharks eye fat fish—meet predators.

At this point today, she no longer casually doubts whether her intuition is true or not.Yasuhara is very clear that even if he used to be the source code of a world, in front of the monitors with the support of the firewall, he is just a bigger prey.Besides, she can't change the rules of this big world, at most she can only distort the rules of a small area - just like buffing Qing Guang and the others just now.

Yasuhara Tokiha swallowed his saliva, but his voice was still dry and he asked, "Are you also a watcher?"

The edge of the hat of the person opposite was slightly raised, revealing the mechanical red eyes underneath, but his voice still sounded very compassionate and lenient:

"The poor monk is the law enforcer in this area... Please put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately."

"I'm sorry, master, I'm born with no roots of wisdom. Let's forget about the degree of transformation."

The monk sighed for a long time, and did not shy away from her awakened data, "Since this is the case, does the benefactor have no nostalgia for this world?"

Damn, seeing that it can't be changed, it's changed to involve the common things in the world?This law enforcement officer has done a lot of tricks.

"Of course I miss this place." Yasuhara Tokiha slowly considered his words, "I like to eat eel rice at the time-honored restaurant in Yuan Jinya, and I also like to go to the sushi restaurant on the east side of the street to chat with the boss. Ah, I still I remember the newly opened freshly made ice cream shop on the Central Commercial Street. The young lady smiled at me when she baked the egg rolls for me... Also, I got lost that day and came across a Moroccan restaurant, which was delicious. , I always wanted to go again for the second time, but every time I told myself to go another day, after all, it was too far away..."

"Let's talk about my family again. Although my father has been doing business abroad for many years, my mother also helped take care of the business, so my relationship with them was very weak when I was young. It didn't get better until I went to high school, but I always knew they were Love me. As for the brother, he is like all boring and annoying brothers. When I was a child, he took a slingshot and pretended to hit me on the head when I was sleeping, and stuffed all the onions in the bento. He can’t be picky about food and the like. His only advantage is that he will stand up for me when I am being bullied. When people talk about me since I was young, I will add, ‘Ah Yasuhara’s brother is the high school senior who fights very hard’… …As for my sister, she is only four years older than me, and she despises me as a clingy little kid all day long, but she actually takes me to play with her wherever she goes, and then continues to despise me. Of course, there is a sister, I You can secretly buy snacks and skirts, of course, she paid for me..."

As he spoke, Yasuhara Tokiha's expression became sad.

But for some reason, the law enforcer didn't act in a hurry, but stood quietly on the spot, plucking the black rosary in his hand.

"I still have a few good friends who are doing well. My little boy has now gone to the UK to study at a certain business school there. It is said that he will start a master's degree this year. Every time he returns to China, he will send me off in a domineering way." Cosmetics, said to be bought by the local airport duty-free shop during an event, and they refused to take my money... In fact, I remember everyone's preferences and know their taboos, and I can recite them without looking at the phone contacts Everyone's phone number and email address, and I can also clearly remember the birthdays of different people. I remember that on the night of the World Cup two years ago, I went to Uncle Yin's house, drinking with her in the middle of the night, eating melon seeds and watching the game... Finally The two of them almost fell asleep on the sofa. I have several very thick diaries, and I wrote down the happy things that happened when I got along with everyone. I didn’t tell anyone about this matter... As a result, every year Gotta get a new laptop."

"I also have an annual card for a fitness club near the school, and I go to the gym at least three times a week. Of course, except during holidays, because at that time I go out for a trip or go home. Friends from the school's photography club invited me to this weekend. They went outing, I agreed, but it seems that this time I may miss the appointment..."

As she spoke, more fine details in life emerged in her mind.However, all the hard work I thought I had done, all the love of life, turned out to be untrue.

In the end, Yasuhara Tokiha stopped talking, because the monk kept looking at him with compassion.

"Does Master think I'm stupid?"

"Well, the benefactor is a person who loves life, even if he says a few more words, the poor monk is willing to come and listen."

The girl nodded sadly, and concluded: "But I understand now—these are not my memories, but this world, or the personality set for me by the creators of higher dimensions...these memories , These good things don’t belong to me at all! My life may really add up to only two months, how could I create so many memorable memories in such a short period of time?”

The law enforcer stared at her heavily, and after a long while, he replied, "Benefactor, you've lost your mind."

"What do you mean by 'photographing'?" An Yuan asked rhetorically.

"Excessive attachment is obsession, and if you go any further, you will be obsessed." The monk said helplessly, "Even if the benefactor knows that the world today is illusory, so what? Is reality and illusory really so important? Even if you jump out This world has entered a higher-dimensional world. Is that world the so-called real? The essence of life is that each of us plays our own role well. If everyone is unwilling to be content with their duties, wouldn’t the world be destroyed? gone?"

"Master, the possibility of what you said is very high, jump out, go outside the firewall-that world may not be real. In your eyes, my efforts may be nothing but useless work, but there is something I want to say , maybe in your eyes I am just an abnormal data after awakening, but in my own eyes, I may even be just a creative character endowed by a certain writer... When her work ends, my story comes to an end , maybe no one will remember me from now on, and no one will care about my mood and feelings, because even my creator may forget me..." Tokiha Yasuhara took a deep breath, but his eyes were still burning He continued, "But I insist on an answer. Because I have my own emotions, even if no one knows this, I still have to maintain this personality and enthusiasm."

"I swear to play my part well in this short few hundred thousand words, because this is my real life, going to the end with my head held high - I just want an answer, for this, I It can pay any price."

Saying this, Yasuhara Tokiha showed a proud expression for the first time.In her mind, the words that Professor Kobayashi said in class today could not help appearing.

【"What a person pursues in his life will often be what he gets. Loyal people will end up with loyalty, those who pursue bravery will also get bravery, and those who yearn for freedom will never stop on the road of chasing freedom ——Whatever you want, you will get what kind of ending..."]

——I have probably been pursuing greater freedom all my life, so I believe that I will get the ending I want.

So she said the last sentence before she started.

"Because that's the only thing left in my life that really belongs to me."
