I paid too much for Feiwuluo

White corridor.White dome.

white flowers.White grass.

White benches.White picture frame.

In this palace that was pale as far as the eye could see, only the painting in the picture frame and the black bear in his hand were of other colors.

Alice walked among them, and the pale flowers and plants around her rubbed against the soft skirt of her nightgown, making a soft rustling sound.

She kept her head up all the way, because that was the only way she could see the picture in the frame.

Those exquisite picture frames were hung at a position much higher than her, as if she was afraid that she might tear them down and smash them all.

Although she didn't know why she appeared here, fortunately, Alice knew that this was her dream, and occasionally she would dream of this place called [Path of Pain].

She walked on.

The white corridor was so long that it seemed to have no end.

But Alice finally stopped.

Because she saw a person on an iron bench that appeared every other distance.

He has light blond hair, which is a bit brilliant against the paleness.His appearance can be regarded as handsome and good-looking, but the bangs are too long and somewhat non-mainstream, covering half of his face, making people worry whether his eyesight will be damaged.However, what makes people feel funny is that on the boy's head is wearing a headband that resembles the rails in a child's train toy, and there is something like an orange lollipop stuck in the center of the headband.

He is probably still at the age when someone would choose to forgive a little bit of arrogance. Holding a white and green paper cup of Starbucks in his hand, he sat carelessly on the free bench with his long legs, almost Quickly stretch to the other side of the corridor.

How could someone poke a lollipop on the head—a normal person would have doubts, but Alice accepted this setting calmly.

Alice stared at him.

And he stared at the "painting" on the wall.

So Alice also raised her head and looked in the direction of his gaze.

Immediately afterwards, that expressionless little face collapsed immediately.

These exquisite frames are not "paintings" at all, but photos taken by Duo Liang—more precisely, they are all photos about Alice taken under Duo Liang's lens.

Alice clearly remembered that the photo in front of her was taken on a sunny autumn day last week.

The dust that drives Kusanagi Izumo the most on weekdays wanders leisurely in the beams of sunlight, probably because most of the objects in the Barbara are made of wood and there are young people like fire balls, falling The light entering this bar will always become extra warm and soft after passing through the bright and clean glass.

And in the center of the picture, which hardly needs to be polished and adjusted in post-processing, is Alice who has lost another tooth and made her mouth full of blood.Beside him are Kamamoto Toshio, who has gradually become rounder with the arrival of winter, and Bando Saburota, who is frantically turning his head (even turning an afterimage in the camera) in order to find a tissue to help Alice stop bleeding.

Alice in the photo is not good-looking at all, not cute, and she looks a little scary with blood all over her face.

However, after Duo Liang took this photo, he collapsed on the sofa and laughed for a long time. After laughing, he immediately ran out of the Barbara. It is said that he went to find someone to develop the photo.

Alice hadn't seen the whole picture of the photo.

Developing images recorded on brown film is more time-consuming than you might think.Compared with digital products, old-fashioned things always seem so cumbersome and cumbersome, but Duo Liang likes to use them to record trivial things in Baru Wu Luoli. convenience" question.

"Because I like it."

"Because it's fun."

"Don't you think the feel and sound of the mechanical button feedback is nice when you press the shutter?"

Ten bundles of Tara's answers are like this in all likelihood, and it really sounds like something that only came out of my own 3-minute enthusiasm.

It's no wonder Misaki Hatta and the others always jokingly say that Brother Tosuka's hobbies are too broad, and he can only learn a little bit of everything no matter what.

And when Alice was coerced by other people and had such doubts, he stopped fiddling with the camera for the first time, and then took the film out of the camera and put it in Alice's small palm.

The brown-black film, reflecting the light, is as gratifyingly shiny as the Barbara bar.

Alice could see her own stretched face through the raised curl.

—but what does that mean?

——Why did you take out the film and give it to her?

"Dodora?"

The kid who still couldn't understand the meaning of this gesture raised his blue eyes and looked at the young man in front of him.

Her long and curly eyelashes trembled slightly——every time Alice closed her eyes, this slight movement would always make ten bundles of tadara wonder, "Is this child still dreaming?" Inexplicable cognition.

Toku didn't speak, but turned around and ran upstairs, and took down the SLR that Kusanagi Izumo bought for him.He took out the memory card inside, motioned Alice to open her other hand, and then placed the memory card on the palm of her other hand.

"Weigh it, Liz." Shi Shu said with a smile, "Did you feel anything?"

"The film is heavy."

Alice held up both hands.She is not a child with very good physical strength, and her body has become weaker and weaker since she was discharged from the hospital. After speaking, she returned all the film and SLR memory cards to Ten Bunches of Tadara.

"Hmm~" However, Shishu was very satisfied with her honest answer.

He hugged Alice, and seeing the momentum of this movement, he probably wanted to pick Alice up and throw it up like Izumo Kusanagi.But it's a pity that Shishu Tara himself is notoriously weak in the other world, and he has been firmly on the throne of "the weakest member of Barbara" all the year round. He is the kind who would complain when he climbed the tenth floor, so he had to give up "throwing" ", changed to "quietly holding" Alice.

"This is the weight of memories. Liz."

No one has ever confessed to Alice that everyone is always used to hug her, not only because of her coquettish nature.

Occasionally, when she sits quietly on the sofa, she will reveal an extremely fragile quality that is more like a puppet than Anna. Even if no one touches her, her existence will be followed by something irresistible. And go away.

"Alice! Long time no see~ I haven't seen your face for a long time, I miss you so much."

The boy who had been staring at the picture of Alice's tooth loss from just now suddenly spoke out.As if he had just discovered Alice, he smiled in surprise and waved at her.

—So, who the hell is this guy...

With a straight face, Alice began to think about how to get rid of strange people she didn't know in her dream.

"Oh! Your expression of 'Who the hell is this guy' and 'Why do I meet a strange person I don't know in my dream? How should I drive him out' looks really pleasant."

The teenager's speech speed is much faster than normal people.

And if Alice's social experience can be richer, she will know that the speech speed of a genius who is incomprehensible and does not want to be considerate to others basically only has two modes: too fast or too slow.

It is too fast because their brain nerves are too active. When they say a sentence, ten, twenty, or even a hundred sentences may already appear in their minds.

Too slow is also because the brain nerves are too active, and the huge amount of information will make this group of geniuses hesitate to output their opinions to others.

But it's a pity that Alice doesn't know.

She is just a real, six-year-old first grader now.

In the face of some strangers who are talking about something wrong no matter how they look, all she can do is keep silent, and then look for opportunities to bypass the other party.

Fortunately, this is a dream, and there is no need to worry about blaming uncle or brother in the dream.

So, can this person read minds?

Alice blinked, thinking.

"'Mind reading'? Oh, it's disgusting. How can an ordinary person like me use that kind of superpower that only ■■ can have. It's cold reading. Cold reading, even ordinary people just need to read related books. A super easy skill to learn."

Alice: "..."

This person really can read minds, right?

And... Did he say something super incredible just now?

Did he say that you can learn xx by just reading books?

wow...

He's a super nasty guy who's good at school and likes to show off.

Alice pursed her lips.Although the other party is familiar with her and I can even recite the genealogy of your family for eighteen generations, people who don't know each other just don't know each other.

She still asked the other party very honestly: "Who are you?"

"Oh, this is really rude." The boy stood up from the bench and smiled at her, "My name is ■■■■, and I'm your fan."

Alice: "..."

Can't understand……

Why hasn't this person disappeared from her dream?

"It won't disappear so quickly. I deliberately sneaked in through the backdoor program left when I made the game framework when that guy was away. I spent so much effort just to take a look at you, how is it? Do you feel it? to my love for you?"

Alice: "..."

I only feel that your illness may need to take medicine and injections...

"But having said that, ■■ is really stingy." The boy said, turning his gaze back to the photo hanging on the wall, "You made such an interesting place, and you didn't ask me to come and see it together."

"Stayed here for a year, are you happy?" He turned his head to the side again, looking at Alice's expressionless face.

Alice continued to stare at him silently, putting on a closed look that I refuse to communicate with the fool/psychopath/weird brother.

But to be honest, she can answer this question.

--happy.

- very happy.

——I really like it, I like it very much.

"Hey...that's it." Seeing this, the young man let out a soft hum from his nose without emotion, "You still don't want to go back."

"But it doesn't matter, if you don't want it, don't think about it. Anyway, to my aunt and uncle, you are the biggest accident in their love~ They two had a good time in the Maldives recently, and you won't see each other when you go back￥) to They! #people-"

The strange brother, with a lollipop sticking out of his head, suddenly disappeared like a series of signals that suddenly became disordered and finally disappeared.

Alice woke up from a dream.

She was still lying on the small bed that Izumo had bought for her.Less than two meters away, the sleeping Kusanagi Izumo took long breaths.

Alice pulled herself out of her bed and pulled herself into his arms.

forget it.

Take what those idiots just said.

When she was half asleep and half awake, she heard a voice whispering to herself.
