Can a thousand-handed heart be harvested to reap the wood tunnel?

When I went back, I found that Yan Rong had fallen into a deep sleep, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Before the fluctuating emotions are completely subdued, it is better to reduce contact...Damn it, it's all my mother's fault for coming here, I can't even face these related people normally.

You have no idea how hard I try to restrain my overly diffuse thoughts!

"So why did it become like this?" I quietly closed the cabinet door, closed my eyes in despair and tried to clear my brain, "I can't go on like this, quickly change back to the original me-it's okay, I can, as long as Don't think about it, it's always been like this, hasn't it?"

In short, think less and do more, get busy and get busy!

Organize the special products brought by the trip, surf the Internet to learn about the recent major events and get back to the state before leaving. The Japanese reading and writing improvement class that has been shelved can also start, and there is also a transplant training class that was previously reported for one more solution. Although I have already found the solution to regenerate the cradle, but I don’t feel overwhelmed by too many skills, and it’s not a disadvantage to learn it... Very good, with such a calculation, there are still a lot of things to do.

Go, for a better yourself!

I took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed distracting thoughts, and turned the focus of my life back bit by bit according to the plan. Fortunately, there was enough time for the next time. It was probably really for me to relax. I didn’t touch the dream again. different.

Except for me who is the only one who has changed, the world is still moving forward according to the original track.

original track...

"Hey, the courier for me?"

One day, when I got home from get off work, I pulled out the key in a daze, and took it to the door, "I haven't bought anything lately?"

"I don't know, the courier brother diligently climbed up to the fifth floor to deliver the goods to your door, and the recipient is indeed your name." Xiaochun was at home today, and she pointed to the package in the living room, "Here, it hasn't been moved yet. But, I think the delivery address seems to be your hometown."

"That's strange, my family will notify me if they send me something." I threw the backpack on the chair, squatted down and looked carefully, "The address is indeed my hometown... this address, grandpa?"

How could my grandfather, who has never been exposed to new things, suddenly think of sending me something?

Cautiously, I took out my phone first, clicked on the profile picture of my mother and sent a message.

There is always a development that exceeds expectations, let's explore the tone first.

The mother on the other end was probably idle, and soon came back with a video call: "You were not looking for something when you came back last time, and you looked very sad when you didn't find it. It happened that I went to your grandpa's house two days ago I mentioned it by the way while eating."

"It's not particularly sad, is it?" I put the screen aside, took out a utility knife to open the box, and subconsciously retorted: "At most I'm a little disappointed, anyway, it doesn't matter if I can't find it, and I've already given up , then what's going on with this courier?"

"That's the thing, it's not like you don't know, he loves you the most, and when he heard this, he went to the warehouse to search," she tried to recall, "In the end, he really found a lot of things. It’s useless to keep it for yourself, I’ll give you all of it.”

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I think he just took this opportunity to stuff me with something, and he kept thinking about it when he failed to stuff it last time when he went back, so don't stop him."

"I can't stop him from getting angry, at least he's not particularly valuable. He's your grandpa, so keep it," she smiled, "Remember his kindness more, just go back and see him more."

While speaking, I have already finished unpacking the box. After taking out layers of foam paper and corrugated paper, I saw the pile of things in the box clearly, and I didn't know what expression to make for a while.

"It's not particularly expensive, that is to say, it's still a little expensive. How about I collect a lot of things, is it really suitable for me?" I had a terrible headache, "Silver dollars, a teacher's head brooch, a child's bracelet, a longevity lock... and a book photo album?"

"It's all saved by your grandfather himself bit by bit, you can take a look at it slowly," the mother's face enlarged, "They like to hide things in this generation, he also said it himself, and many of them are hidden behind him. I don't even know where it came from—Huahua? Are you listening to me?"

"...here," I came back to my senses, and put aside the accidentally bent blade, "I'm listening."

Among the piles of miscellaneous items, there was an inconspicuous small box, probably due to bumps on the express delivery road, the lid of the box was shaken halfway open, revealing the contents inside.

It was a piece of blood-stained cloth.

The bloodstain is completely old, making it difficult to distinguish its original color, the material is unknown, and the basic shape is still there. It can be inferred that the material is very tough, and it has been a few years by visual inspection... It is very common here, but if you count the fabric What about the vague but vaguely discernible pattern on the screen?

I held my breath, carefully pushed aside the things around the box, and picked up——

Folding and curling the fabric reveals it in its entirety.

The red last quarter moon, connected to the white handle of the fan——is the family emblem.

I am very familiar with it, Uchiha's family crest.

'Crack...click...wow! '

I seemed to hear the sound of the dimensional wall cracking completely.

Although I have always expected it, but with such a clear fact in front of me, I can't even deceive myself in the end.

Not a dream.

Little by little I gathered the fabric, put it in the box, and closed it tightly.

Grandpa is an adopted son who was picked up after being discarded. This matter is not a secret in our family. After all, there is no genealogy in the family, and there are no relatives who travel frequently. Things in the countryside are not uncommon, so I haven't thought about it in an abnormal direction.

In this way, his eyesight has always been very good, and he went up and down the mountain and river every season to chop firewood and catch fish, and he never missed a shot.Since then, his children and grandchildren all wore thick glasses when they became adults.

Doubts had been in front of me from the very beginning, but I was so dull that I never noticed it.

"Mom." I heard my calm voice, "Is there a penetrating scar on the backs of my grandfather's hands?"

"Why did you ask this all of a sudden?" Surprised by the sudden change of the topic, my mother didn't notice my abnormality: "... yes, when... I was very young, right? I saw it and was frightened at the time, but I didn't I know why it's slowly disappearing."

"That's right." I nodded, pointed the video call at myself, and showed a relieved smile, "It's gone... just fine."

The scar represents the tie and connection. Now that it is gone, can I think that at some point many years ago, when the mother was still in her infancy, the last ties between him and the other world were cut off, and after many years Later, he was assimilated by time and land into an ordinary person.

Look, even if he came into contact again, he never remembered the origin of this thing.

[Did you do it? 】After hanging up the call, I moved my fingers slightly, fiddled with the air lightly, 【'Mother'. 】

【——】

【Um. 】Unknowable language, but I received her meaning. 【thank you. 】

Thank you for accepting him many years ago, and thank you for protecting me after many years.

Therefore, I should also take care of the aftermath of what I did before.

I smiled at Xiaochun who had been looking at me worriedly, stood up, walked to the whiteboard at the entrance of the living room, and wrote the first line since it was installed.

A notification about my choice to sleep proactively.

"Should we be able to catch up with the New Year?" I crossed out the calendar one by one, "I haven't mentioned this year's annual leave, so let's use it all at once. If the leader doesn't approve it, I will ask for leave, and if I can't, I will hand in my resignation letter." It's—ah, I've really gained a lot of guts recently."

I couldn't help laughing again.

After all, once I go this time, I don't know the return date, and I don't care about these things anymore.

——I never believed that with my eyes, I could send a living person tearing through the dimensional wall, and even be recognized and accepted by a world higher than it.

There is never a gift for nothing.

I'm going back to that dream interrupted by the pain, that reality again, to pay the price that may be required.

……

Since I was the active party this time, I had enough time to make adequate preparations and incomplete or even messy plans, and finally rushed to arrange everything that could be imagined in reality a few days before the New Year’s Eve—finally He even bought a few insurances with the intention of not being able to explain clearly.

And did not wake up Yanrong.

When I think of this, I can't help feeling guilty.

So guilty that one day the dog sneakily packed the notebooks about the person concerned and all kinds of blackened literature in the box under the bed and gave them to Matthew's "senior sister" who had met at the comic exhibition before.

I'm sure that when I wake up again from this chaos, this half of my body will probably, no, absolutely explode, and my intuition tells me that there are likely to be some situations beyond my control. Eliminate all possible predisposing factors!

Blackening Daba, Xia Ke Shang Daba Daba!

...hope this is just me making things up.

I closed my eyes with apprehension, and formally began to consciously control the whole process of "falling into a dream".

When I was in Fuyuki, the doctor said that my situation is infinitely close to the materialization of the soul. I will not go into this kind of transformation between idealism and materialism for the time being. At least it is clear that those who can enter another world, There has always been only my "soul," or rather, consciousness.

Dreaming is also a manifestation of active consciousness.

Unexpectedly, I was clearly prepared to pay a huge price, but this time the dream was completely different from the previous ones.

I am no longer a participant, but a bystander with a full perspective, as if watching the best movie from the perspective of the "world", first I watched the black vortex form, and the boy who fainted completely Swallowing——Looking carefully now, the child's eyebrows and eyes are indeed somewhat familiar, and I thought it was because Uchiha looked like this.

Then, the running black hole did not disappear, and it surged and spread in the already empty area, until——

It spits out a female in pajamas.

My heart skipped a second.

The woman who was thrown out slowly got up with sleepy eyes, patted the hem of the clothes stained with grass clippings and dirt, looked around without any sense of crisis, and opened her eyes: "...ah."

Me too: "...ah."

Without him, this person's face is so familiar that I can see that face in the mirror every morning when I wake up.

Sure enough, the price of teleportation is equivalent exchange.

"Sure enough," the woman scratched her hair, "it was a dream."

I couldn't bear to look directly and covered my eyes.

God, am I really that slow?

No, wait, now is not the time for self-reflection!

I wiped my face and forced myself to calm down.

Think about it carefully, the one who appears here is definitely the past me, but according to the fact that the current me is still alive and well, the "me" that is the price has not actually been taken away?

Why?what happened?

"Is that the one? I stayed up late last night to watch the sequelae of Hokage, the Konoha I dreamed about? Hey, there are also Kunai and Shuriken. I like this dream."

Over there, the woman who came to a conclusion unconsciously walked into the depths of the dense forest at the pace of sleepwalking: "According to my experience, when I dream at this time, my wake-up alarm clock is about to ring. , visit first."

——She walked towards the center of the detonating talisman precisely and naturally, as if entering the back garden of her own home.

From the perspective of God, I also moved uncontrollably.

Passing through the shade of the trees, "we" saw a dying boy at the center of the explosion, where countless detonating symbols were scattered.

One, with light blond hair, wearing a Konoha forehead protector, with multiple lacerations all over his body, his organs were ruptured and dug away by violence, leaving only a broken heart that was about to stop working——

"Thousand hands...?"

"—Rope tree."

The circle of fate started from the past and closed today in the future.

I saw the "Ling Xiao of the past" who cut open her heart without hesitation and exchanged it, and also saw the clarity of her eyes aroused by the pain of heart-gouging.

"It hurts..." The pupils of the person who fell on his back gradually dilated, "Isn't this...shouldn't it be my dream?"

"Yes, this is a dream."

The restraint had been lifted long ago, and I, who had recovered my physical body, carefully caught my past self. Feeling the sudden and familiar repulsion, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth.

This kind of repulsion is far from what I had endured for the two Mr. Wujo in the cursed world.

"Ling Xiao." I held up the face of 'I' whose breathing was gradually weakening, and ordered, "Open your eyes and focus!"

At the moment when two pairs of black eyes from the past and the future looked at each other, one pair of eyes was dyed bright red, and the black hooked jade quickly spun, connected, and deformed, and finally it was frozen in the kaleidoscope of peak power.

The abilities belonging to Tiantiannv and Qi Daotian were activated together.

Tiantiannu, belonging to destiny, is a glimmer of life, a miracle, hope, and an uncontrollable passivity.

As for Qi Daotian, it is a real illusion that holds this glimmer of life in his hands.

Its ability is the tasteless illusion that I once called "self-deception".

"This is a dream," I stared closely at the pair of eyes that kept the only sliver of clarity, and repeated firmly, launching the illusion with all my strength, firmly engraving this concept into the pair of eyes that have not yet awakened: " What 'I' firmly believe can be true or false, and false can become true."

——To a certain extent, it is also a terrifying illusion that can be compared to the "Bie Tianshen" level.

At this moment, I finally understand everything.

No wonder I didn't separate dreams from reality in the first place.

They are all different changes in ideology, not to mention that "dream" is when people's subconsciousness rises, my thoughts can determine my state and actions, and then cooperate with the awakened kaleidoscope illusion to deceive myself, so:

From the initial improvement of the terrifying physical talent, to the strict chakra learning restrictions later, to the rapid mastery of only Mu Dun, including the rapid mastery of the breathing method after "as long as I can understand and explain it", and then every time I hit The twists and turns of benefits...these-

As long as the object is myself, as long as it is something I firmly believe in, I will definitely be able to do it—the idealism is outrageous, it is simply a big bug.

On the contrary, when the lie is completely exposed, the backlash is even more fierce.

"So, idealism is really too idealistic." I murmured and pressed my beating heart, "It's okay, okay, I went to the rebirth cradle once before, otherwise I would have to explain here."

In the blurred vision of blood and tears gushing out, the eyes of the woman who should have died regained vitality, the heart that was violently rejected in the chest began to slowly melt into the flesh and blood, and the disappearing black vortex appeared automatically, but this time the space opened, not me.

The eyes that have exhausted their power cannot have the power to tear open the space, nor can they afford another "equivalent exchange".

"cost--"

Treetops grazed my face, wiping the blood off my cheeks.

The me in the past has already evacuated first, and the me who was left behind felt a hug.

【unnecessary. ] A world said so. [Thank you, my child. 】

Lin Feng brushed my hair and sent me to another embrace.

Without warning, I burst into tears.

The first voice, from the ninja world, the source of a quarter of my blood, gave me all my gratitude, and the other——

【child. 】The owner in the arms said: 【I'll take you home. 】

It is an unreserved guardian.

-

Indeed, there has never been a gift for no reason in the world.

Except love.
