Immortal Dream Orchid [Comprehensive]

A barren wilderness.

"It's not a good day at all today." Thomas put his arms behind his head and sighed.

Lani shook his head: "There's no way. It's pretty good to get such a little fruit. It was really thrilling just now. I almost ran into a ghost."

"Yes, yes, almost! I was scared to death!" Thomas nodded, "At this time, Anna has already cooked, right?"

Thinking of the delicious food in the underground shelter, both Thomas and Lani couldn't help swallowing.

"Actually, I think we can go back to the ghost's hunting ground once, there should be a lot of food there?" Thomas said.

"...Let's forget it? Didn't you hear what Brother Lucas said? Now that so many ghosts have been killed on the farm, the subordinates of those ghosts will definitely come over. Let's go now, not to throw ourselves into a trap right?" Laney said.

"That's right." Thomas nodded, "But...speaking of which, the big sister that Brother Yuge put in the dormitory still hasn't woken up? Is there something wrong?"

"I don't know. I've been sleeping for more than ten years. Is there really no problem?"

The two walked farther and farther.

In the quiet room, Crystal opened her eyes, surrounded by graffiti walls and old beds.

Crystal fumbled, and touched something cold beside her.

is the knife.

Crane Maru.

Back to the knife?Then here is...

Crystal got up, and the surrounding was very dark, it was a small room.

where is this place? 'God' likes to talk to himself every time and put himself in an inexplicable place.

"Squeak—" The door was opened.A little girl with blond hair came in with a basin of water. When she saw Crystal standing up, the basin in her hand fell to the ground.

"Eh...?" The girl yelled in surprise, and then hurriedly slammed the door and left, shouting, "Wake up! Crystal wake up!"

Crystal: ...You tell me where this is!As for being so surprised? !

After a while, there were messy footsteps outside.The one who came in from outside the door was...an uncle.

uncle? ? ?

"Crystal, you finally woke up!" The man was very excited, looking at Crystal, he almost wanted to hug her.

Crystal looked up at him: "... who are you?"

"...I'm Yogg? Can't you see it?" Yogg suddenly stopped and covered his face.

"Yug?" Crystal's face became very strange, "How did you become so decadent? From an upright and good young man to a very casual uncle?"

"...isn't that an uncle?"

"Yug, you look like a very sloppy uncle." Outside the door, the grown-up Lucas walked in, looked at Crystal and Yogg with a smile, and said helplessly.

"You..." Crystal looked at Yugo, then at Lucas, and finally fixed on Lucas's empty right cuff, "This is... what's going on?"

"Let's go out and talk about the details." Lucas pointed outside, "It's too dark here, so it's hard to talk."

Crystal nodded.

What's it like outside...?

After leaving this small room, Lucas and Yogg walked in front, and Crystal followed behind them.In the rooms on both sides, many small heads poked out, quietly looking at the crystal.When Crystal gathered his gaze, they retreated into the door.

Lucas smiled heartily: "Don't worry, everyone is just curious about you. They are curious about what the Sleeping Beauty who has been sleeping for 13 years looks like."

"Sleeping for 13 years?" Crystal was confused.Then immediately understood.After all... Yogg and Lucas are already this big.

...what about everyone?Nicholas, John, Dana...what about them?

"This is really what we're going to talk about next." Lucas noticed Crystal's expression and explained aloud.

Yugo didn't say a word.

Through the corridor, Crystal and the others came to a place with a large table.

"This is the restaurant, sit down first." Lucas pointed to the location, and then sat down first, with the only remaining hand on the table.

If his two hands were still there, would it be because he would make a leading gesture of crossing his hands and fingers?

Crystal suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Something must have happened, just because I left...

"Crystal, seeing me like this, you probably guessed it." Lucas's demeanor and tone are still the same as many years ago, but his face and way of speaking have become much more mature, "But before saying those things, I hope you can listen to us first."

Crystal lowered her head, a little afraid to look Lucas directly in the eyes.

Lucas took a deep breath and said, "I hope you don't blame yourself. You have to calm down and listen to me, can you, Crystal."

Crystal nodded slightly.In fact, my heart has already started to panic.

Lucas looked at the crystal and knew that she might not be calm.So he glanced at Yuge, who nodded and spoke first.

"13 years ago, when you were still awake...do you remember that bonfire meeting?" Ugg chose a very good entry point.

Crystal nodded.

"That time, after the meeting, you suddenly fainted, and then we put you in the house, and Dana was taking care of you. But you didn't wake up. We thought you were dead. But later, Dana said that you were still weak Heartbeat, we will always take care of you." Yuge said.

Lucas leaned back on the chair, and continued: "However, ghosts will still come. In the first few days, they were more tolerant. After we talked about it, they left. Later, Leuweis came and asked Take you away by force."

"Although this guy Leuweis said, we can leave if we hand you over. But how can you believe the ghost's words?" Youge smiled sarcastically, "This guy just waits for us to hand you over before we settle the matter." We died. Because he was afraid that you would have some means to protect us."

"..." Crystal was silent.

"Later, you still didn't wake up, but everyone has always decided that we can't give up the crystal." Lucas looked at the crystal, his eyes were full of encouragement for the crystal, "Because the crystal once saved us, so..."

'This time it's time for us to protect the crystal! 'This is what everyone said in unison.

"Without the crystal, we would have been attacked by those ghosts and died in the hunting ground. So..."

"But this, don't you think it's too much?!" Crystal suddenly raised her head, her expression agitated, "I gave you the hope of living, but I didn't do it." I thought those were just memories, but in the dream, when I came back Found out it's been 13 years here and everything has changed...

"Crystal, calm down!" Yogg stood up and pressed the crystal, "Listen to us."

Knowing that Crystal couldn't calm down, Yogg and Lucas looked at each other.

"So everyone goes out every day to tempt ghosts. This way we can delay the time." Lucas's words didn't fluctuate at all, as if he was stating a trivial matter.

"Those ghosts know that we are delaying time, but they don't know why, but they also follow us." Yuge said.

Lucas looked at the crystal: "Then, one day, it was Dana's turn to go out. When Dana was about to be caught by the ghost, Er Gouzi broke free from the chain and wanted to save Dana, but... in the end Still killed by Leuweis."

Speaking of this, Yuge added: "Daina is right, ghosts may have feelings. But this does not change my feelings for ghosts. They are my enemies."

"It's also my enemy." Lucas said.

"I am also your enemy." Crystal covered her head and closed her eyes.

Lucas shook his head: "No, you are not. You are our benefactor."

"No. I have no ability to save you." Crystal felt moist and warm tears pouring out of her eyes.This is probably something she hasn't seen in a long time.

"No, you saved us." Lucas' face was soft.

"I didn't." Crystal shook her head, "I still didn't save you in the end. I didn't help you at all."

"You helped." Yogg said, "No one will suddenly help a group of strangers. This is a quality that many people don't have. You helped us and even extended our lives."

"Yes." Lucas nodded, "Without you, we would have died that day."

"But..." Crystal wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yogg.

"The past is the past. Crystal, the important thing is the present."

Lucas also smiled: "Yeah, I think you can meet the little leader here. It's a very energetic girl named Emma."

"Emma?"

"Yes, she is much better than us in the past. When you see her, you will definitely be infected by her smile."

"Emma..." I always feel like I heard it somewhere?

"They're coming back soon." Yugo looked at the door, then seemed to remember something, and said to the crystal, "By the way, we've seen Tsurumaru."

"Eh?" Crystal was a little confused, she looked at the knife in her hand.

"Later, Leuweis came with a group of ghosts to capture us all. It was Tsurumaru who came out and turned into a human, and helped us resist for a while...I had the chance to leave. Take you We came to this underground shelter together." Yuge said.

"I didn't have time to go out, so I exhausted my strength and turned into Tsurumaru, who turned back into a sword, and hid in the hunting ground, waiting for the opportunity to leave again." Lucas looked at his arm, just smiled , and finally did not say anything.

Tsurumaru——

Crystal looked at the knife in his hand.Can't feel any breath inside.

Could it be that he has...

no, I can not.

"We're back!" Suddenly, a vigorous girl's voice came from the door.
