What world is Lixiang in today?

After finally dealing with the big and small affairs, the reconnaissance machines sent by Da Vinci finally found the temple and the golden water that Emma saw in the illusion, and recorded the precise coordinates, waiting for Emma and the others to explore.After Atalanta and others successfully produced Da Vinci's mass-produced Buster, they also officially started the rescue mission to the advanced farm.Fujimaru Tachika finally found an excuse to be lazy again, and set off with Emma's team to the location of the temple.

After learning how to meet xxxx from the murals on the roof of the temple, several people successfully went to the location of the golden water and got the necessary props to go to the entrance.

After discussion, it was decided that Emma, ​​Fujimaru Tachika and Norman would try first, Dong and Gilda would be on alert, and Ray would be in charge of operating Buster Mew to prepare for evacuation at any time.

Coincidentally,? A full moon hung that night, and the three of them prepared a bottle of golden water under the moon. They separated their fingers and dripped blood into the bottle. The untouchable water and blood were immediately entangled. Together, afterward,? The three looked at each other,? Inserted Veda flowers into the bottle together.

The Veda flower that had absorbed the blood quickly bloomed, and the moment the petals fully unfolded, the three of them disappeared in place.

Watch the other three who have changed into living people for free: ...

For the three people who went to the entrance, all the people around disappeared, and there was a simple and old stone door standing abruptly in the dense forest. The writing on it was obviously not in any known language. , but everyone can understand.

"Once you pass here, you can never turn back..." Fujimaru Tachika read the first sentence.

"If you want to go back, open this door from the other side and go back...?" Norman continued, rubbing his chin, "It's like a warning..."

"However, there's more here—it's written in the middle." Emma, ​​who was closely observing the door, pointed to the words engraved in the middle, "Welcome to [Entrance]."

The result speaks for itself, this is indeed the entrance.

"What should I do? Go in or go back?" Fujimaru Tachika scratched his head, "Although I really want to say that it's better to take it back and give it to Da Vinci and the others to study, but the analysis function installed on Buster's cat can't analyze the golden water... ...Even if Leonardo Da Vinci can research it, he probably hates wasting time..."

"Moreover, on the mural, there is a 'complete night' between the 'Entrance' and 'Day and Night'..." Norman muttered thinking, "Surely it won't be that easy to get there, right? "

"—But this is exactly what I want!" Emma clapped her hands suddenly, "Let's go, no matter what is ahead, just go!"

"Hmm..." Norman hesitated a little. After all, he was exploring the unknown, so he preferred to be on the safe side.

"It's okay, let's go together—if we are in danger, I will call for help!" Fujimaru Tachika also patted the two of them on the shoulder, and said in relief, "Nothing will happen!"

So, the three of them pushed open the door together——

Fujimaru Tachika only felt a trance for a while, and then saw the day and night in Emma's mouth.

In the middle of the day, there is a dark night sky under her feet. In such a space divided into two, what appeared in front of her was a child-like ghost with a mask.

Looking around, but did not see Emma and Norman.

"Are you xxxx?" she asked, "Where are Emma and Norman?"

"They are crossing the wall in their hearts." The other party seemed to laugh, "Any creature must find a way to get here by itself in confusion, and even if they can't find it, they will only return to their starting point. Worry."

"Huh... what about me?" Fujimaru Tateka pointed to herself in confusion, "Did you pick me up here?"

"Of course not, you just——have already found that path." The ghost spread his hands and replied, "Although you forgot, the path has already been engraved on your soul, and you don't need to go through the choice again. "

"...Really, hey." Fujimaru Tachika was a little embarrassed, "I thought it might be the earl who brought me here..."

"Hmm..." Gui pondered for a moment, "The heroic spirits in your world... don't have a gun, but with your words, they can indeed reach here."

Fujimaru Tachika didn't know what to say for a while, so Oni continued the topic by himself: "You are not an existence from this world, Fujimaru Tachika, you and I can't make an agreement, but I do see interesting things from you. story, so in exchange, this—should be what you want, right?"

He beckoned, and a holy grail appeared in his hand, and handed it to Fujimaru Tachika: "It's useless to keep this kind of thing with me, you can take it."

"Eh, eh!?" Fujimaru Tateka took the Holy Grail in a daze, "The Holy Grail...is it with you!?"

"I don't know when something suddenly appeared." The ghost waved his hand indifferently, "The magic power in your world is not from the same source as my energy. This thing has no meaning to me. The overflowing magic power may still be It will attract strange things, when you leave, take them with you."

"...Ah, thank you." Fujimaru Tachika seldom held the Holy Grail so easily. At this moment, his heart was full of unreality, "I will take good care of it."

The two looked at each other silently for a moment, and when Fujimaru Tatsuka felt a little embarrassed again, the ghost spoke again: "——You, do you really know what this is?"

"Uh, the Holy Grail is a large magic power crystal, an omnipotent wishing machine?" Fujimaru Tateka tilted his head, "It can also strengthen heroic spirits, which are particularly easy to be polluted. Maybe something like this?"

"...I really don't know anything." The ghost sighed, "It would be great if I could see the continuation of your story. It's really curious."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Fujimaru Tateka blinked blankly, holding the Holy Grail in his hand, at a loss, "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with the Holy Grail?"

"You don't know anything until now, don't you?" Gui Lingkong stood up, "The real reason why you need this kind of thing is not the holy..."

"Day and night... I came through the entrance, xxxx..."

His words were interrupted by the handsome speech of Emma who suddenly appeared, one person and one ghost looked at the girl standing upright at the same time, and then...

"And Miss Lixiang... Hey!? Did Miss Lixiang arrive early? Hey, have we been in that space for a long time? Hey, why isn't Norman here? We were still together just now..."

The serious atmosphere was broken in a second, and Fujimaru Tatsuka burst out laughing: "It hasn't been long, we just chatted for a while."

"Oh, oh..." Because the atmosphere on Fujimaru Tatsuka's side was too relaxed, Emma was a little at a loss.

"The boy has returned to your companion." The ghost answered Emma's other question, "He failed to break down the walls of his heart, and although he knew it with his head, he couldn't believe it with all his heart-that is, to come. It's not as easy as you think it is here."

"Is that so..." Emma frowned, probably thinking of the experience before arriving here.

"So? What is the purpose of your coming here?" The ghost raised his hand, and a bright ball of light appeared on his hand.

"I..." Emma paused for a moment, flashing past the days in the orphanage, the smiling faces of her mother and younger siblings, Uncle Yogg in the shelter, the rebels in the poaching ground, and the food from Lambda Farm. Son, opened his eyes again, his green pupils were full of determination, "I'm here to renew the agreement with you!"

"Okay." Unexpectedly, the ghost agreed very happily, so happily that Emma couldn't even react, and said a few times in a daze.

Seeing her bewildered look, the ghost repeated: "Yes, what do you want?"

Good, good sloppy feeling!Emma instinctively sensed something was wrong, it couldn't be that simple, there must be...

The ghost changed the subject: "However, you have to give me a 'reward'."

"Reward..." This was mentioned in Minerva's letter. If you want to conclude an agreement with xxxx, no matter what he asks for as a reward, you cannot refuse.

Emma looked at the little ghost in front of her, and felt a wonderful sense of unreality. It clearly existed in a higher dimension beyond time and space, but it was so innocent like a child... What was it thinking, what did it want? What, I can't guess at all, he is really a capricious child.

"The so-called reward must take away your important things..." The ghost raised his hand and said with a chuckle, "So, do you still want to fulfill your wish? What exactly is the wish you want to fulfill?"

Emma naturally wouldn't back down at this time, not to mention the content of the agreement, which had already been negotiated with Norman and Lei Shang.

"My wish is to let all edible children go to the human world, and from now on, the two worlds will never be able to communicate with each other!"

For Emma, ​​the most important existence is undoubtedly her family, after that it is her everything, but as long as this agreement can be fulfilled, xxxx will not be able to take away her family, detain her or take her life , can be said to be a very cheating way of wishing.

"..." The ghost nodded after being silent for a moment, "I can grant your wish, as for the reward, I will take yours..."

He stopped suddenly, and after a while, he suddenly smiled: "No, I changed my mind. The past story is already the past, but in the future, there may be more interesting things happening."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Emma tilted her head in confusion, "What... what do you want?"

"I want you to become an existence that is neither human nor ghost at the end of your life as a human being. As my eyes, to see the world of human beings, you will never usher in the day of extinction." Ghost asked, " Is that okay?"

"Yes! I promise!" Emma answered resolutely.

As if surprised by her answer without the slightest hesitation, the ghost tilted his head: "Is it so easy to agree... Maybe you can experience a happy life as a human being, but then you will also have to bear the loneliness of eternal life, alone , staring at the happiness of others forever...is this okay?"

"Although... in the future, I will have to bear the pain and loneliness of seeing them off, but my wish has already been fulfilled. I will continue to stare at the children living in the human world, watching them create a new life, and watching their offspring grow up again. You don’t have to be afraid, you don’t have to be killed anymore, there are no ghosts around you, and you won’t be baited by anyone…” Emma smiled, her green eyes shone with hope, “In the future, everyone Can live with a smile, can watch all this, presumably the loneliness will also be diluted!"

"Perhaps." Ghost answered without knowing whether or not, and then returned to the topic, "In this case, the agreement has been officially concluded, my future 'eye', but, do you have other things to do in the future? Waiting for you When the things to be done are done and the farm elevator goes to the human world, the promise will be fulfilled—if you die before then, the promise will be voided!"

"I know, I won't die easily!" Emma waved her hand energetically.

"Go back—do what you have to do."

The white light flashed, Emma's figure faded away, and the ghost turned to look at Fujimaru Tachika next to him: "You didn't remind her."

"Remind her what?" Feeling that it is best not to interfere with the laws of other worlds, Fujimaru Tachika, who has been silent all the time, was stunned, "Ah, do you mean that—"

"Even in the human world, terrible things will happen. People around you are more terrifying than ghosts. Some people will be killed and treated as worthless..." She blinked, "Do you mean this thing? ?”

Oni carefully looked at Fujimaru Tachika's expression, and found that when she told such a cruel truth, she didn't have negative emotions, no despair or hatred, just a calm narration, and couldn't help feeling strange: "...What a strange person. "

"Well, I do know that the human world is like this, but even if I remind her, she will make the same choice." Fujimaru Tachika raised the corners of her mouth, "Because that child will not be intimidated, probably Say something like 'then try to make the human world a better place'."

Because that Emma is a naive and almost blind hopeful girl, a girl who will never be defeated by reality——

Fujimaru Tachika narrowed her eyes: "She's amazing~"

The ghost looked at her, was silent for a long time, and then let out a chuckle.

"You too."

The author has something to say: Sometimes I feel that Emma is too naive and thinks that she can do anything... But as xxx said in the original book, there are no walls in the world, there are only walls in my heart, and you can go beyond yourself , Things like transcending the world are not as simple as imagined... Just like when we were young, we would imagine that we could change the world and change reality. Emma will always be the child who firmly believes that he can make the world better through his own efforts. Will never be forced to grow up by the suffering of reality...

Although the final ending of the island is very idealistic [specifically refers to the seizure of power in the ghost world], but I think it is not bad, just like that, HE and logic cannot coexist, and those who choose HE without logic can also x

As long as there are no major loopholes in the logic, I am personally a pure HE party~

I have to end this dungeon... The hole I buried before will also start to fill up...
