Chapter 448 Slap

The air had become extremely hot since I didn't know when, and the asphalt road under my feet was slightly sunken, like a muddy quagmire.

The leaves and branches of the sunflower buds became crispy due to dehydration, and every time they were moved, they would make a light sound like potato chips cracking.

Finally, the familiar figure rushed out of the sunflower garden, and the false sky of the underground city was burning, as if it had crossed a day in an instant and came to the evening, but Mikael's eyes were only the most dazzling red.

"Captain!"

He rushed forward and hugged Himiko tightly without saying anything.

"It's good if it's not... It's good if it's not... It's good if it's not..."

He kept repeating this sentence.

The hot air made people feel difficult to breathe, and Mikael's overly strong embrace was the same, but Himiko did not push him away, but just silently endured it all, and gently stroked his back twice with her palm.

She counted ten seconds in her heart, and then gently patted the back of Mikael's head again.

"Okay, I'm fine. I don't know what you're worried about. But let go first, so as not to let outsiders laugh at you."

"Outsiders?"

Mikael's excitement stagnated.

"That... Brother Mikael..."

Hearing this voice, Mikael opened his eyes and looked at the three figures that were previously blocked by Himiko. The first person he looked at was naturally the one who made the sound, that is... Seele.

Tears suddenly flowed out, winding all over his face, but the sadness did not last too long. He wiped his tears hard, his eyes stayed on Mei for a moment, and finally fell on Bronya.

So the tears stopped.

He raised his right hand in a daze, as if looking for something in the void where there was nothing but heat.

Himiko took the initiative to lean towards him so that his hand could rest on her shoulder. At the moment of contact, Mikael almost put the weight of his whole body on that hand.

"You are... Raiden Mei? Bronya Zajicek, and... Seele Freya?"

Himiko's brows knitted together, and Mikael's five fingers were too excited and pressed hard, causing pain on her shoulders, and he didn't even realize it.

But she didn't remind him, just endured the pain and said:

"It seems that you know each other? I thought the girl with two drills was your parallel world counterpart. Oh, by the way, they also mistook me for some 'Teacher Jizi'."

Mikael's eyes flashed, and he asked again in a hurry:

"Do you know me?"

The three girls looked at each other and nodded in confusion.

Mikael pursed his lips and remained silent.

"He...He...He..."

He loosened his hands that were tightly holding Himiko's shoulders, and occasionally let out a twitching laugh.

He walked around the sunflower bed aimlessly, and then sat down on the ground.

"Hahahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Why are you here? How can you be here???"

Accompanied by neurotic laughter, tears fell again.

"I know, this is fate... No matter what I do, no matter whether I do it or not, it will end up the same."

No one understands what he is doing, and no one knows what he means.

He is crazy, desperate, and lonely that no one can understand.

In fact, the moment he heard Xi'er's voice, he understood.

This is a world where "the world allows consciousness to match new containers, but does not allow containers to collect dissipated consciousness". With the known information, it is better to believe that she is Xi'er from the next era than to believe in resurrection.

Not to mention, there are two people standing next to her who can fully prove this.

And they said that they knew him.

Haha, is there anything funnier than this?

What he had always wanted to do, what he had always tried to do, was to kill the possibility of the era in which these three girls lived, but now they came to his era for no reason, and they kept saying that they knew him...

Sure enough, it was a lie to say that fate could be changed. Even if he could influence some corners, he could not change the ending of the whole story in the end.

Of course, he knew that compared to the possibility he realized, there might be another better explanation. Their world might not be destroyed, and the three girls in front of them were just the product of the convergence of the world line, or their civilization was indeed destroyed, but the person he wanted to save survived.

In fact, it is very simple to figure out this question. You just need to ask: "Do you know Alicia?"

From the reactions of the three girls, you can get all the answers.

Unfortunately, he is a waste. He does not have the courage to ask this question, let alone the courage to believe in a beautiful ending that he dare not believe.

"Boom!"

The false sky above his head shook violently, and fine dust fell from the "high sky". He knew that the new Herrscher had been born, and he also knew that the Herrscher was now above his head.

But he didn't plan to do anything.

Since the fate of this world had already been determined, the world would not be destroyed even if he did nothing.

Although there was also a voice in his heart telling him that he should not stop here, and could not stop here, the fate of the world had already been changed beyond recognition by him. Since the candidates and locations of the seventh Herrscher of the Collapse had changed, how could he know that the world would not be destroyed because of his inaction?

But in the end, the three girls who should not have appeared here became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Besides, even if he really wanted to do something, what could he do? After the Herrscher Core rejected him, what else could he do?

Himiko pursed her lips and looked at Mikael's appearance. She didn't know how to say the words she had prepared.

Mei's hands were twisted together. She looked at the man who collapsed and sat among a pile of sunflower buds. She looked at him in despair and collapsed. She didn't know what happened, let alone how to comfort him. It was just that in her sight, this face that gathered almost all the negative emotions she could think of at the same time gradually overlapped with the familiar face that was plain, calm, and sometimes with a gentle smile.

But this did not make her feel unfamiliar with Mikael.

On the contrary, under such a contrast, she felt that she was closer to Mikael. She also wanted to comfort her like Mikael had comforted her before, but as soon as she took a step forward, she remembered that she had no idea of ​​the specific reason, so she could only watch.

In contrast to her, Bronya just stood aside indifferently, wiping the sweat from her temples with her hands. She quietly observed Mikael's appearance, looking at his face that was exactly the same as in her memory, but seemed younger and more immature, and clenched her hands tightly.

And Seele, the most important Seele.

"Brother Mikael, you..."

For some reason, too many emotions suddenly surged in her heart.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-"

The beating of the heart was clear and rapid, as if it overlapped with the heartbeat of another person.

Looking at Mikael's appearance, she felt inexplicably sad, and she couldn't tell any reason. Maybe she was sad just because she saw Mikael sad. But why did her emotions synchronize with Mikael so easily? This is really an incredible thing.

Of course, there are too many emotions in her heart, and sadness is just a very weak one among them.

But what puzzles her most is not sadness, but... relief.

When she realized that she had such a feeling in her heart, she felt so twisted that she couldn't accept it.

Why would she be relieved?

Why would she be relieved by Mikael's pain?

No matter what the reason is, isn't this a kind of distortion?

A person will feel relieved by the pain of another person, in the final analysis, it is only because of one reason-that person's sadness is caused by himself.

If a person hates another person, he will naturally feel happy because he falls into the sadness he created himself.

If a person loves another person very much and longs to be loved by another person, he will naturally feel relieved because he feels sad for her misfortune.

It is really an extremely twisted emotion.

But what does this have to do with her...? According to "Ji Zi", this is a parallel world different from their own world, and Mikael here is just a familiar stranger. Why would she...

And why did she feel that the sadness of Mikael in front of her was caused by her?

Isn't it twisted and arrogant to arbitrarily motive for another person like this?

No...

No...

Yes, no!

She suddenly remembered.

"Ji Zi" said that Xi'er in this world had died two days ago.

What can this alone prove?

It can't explain anything, but she remembered more and more things from a long time ago.

That was two years ago, in Changkong City, when she was kidnapped.

She vaguely remembered that she had a very long and chaotic dream, and she should have even been awake for a moment in the middle.

But what did she dream about that day, and what happened during the short period of wakefulness, she couldn't remember anything in the past two years. But she didn't care about that matter. After all, it ended up with a good result. She met Mikael, Mei, and Kiana, and later came to St. Freya Academy, which was much better than the orphanage she had been in... Moreover, she also found "another self", another self who could protect her when needed and become her friend naturally and closely.

So, since the result was good, there was no need to pursue the process in the middle, right? In particular, that memory was not so beautiful...

Yes, it's not that she didn't try to recall it.

But even if she racked her brains to recall it, she only got a blank, of course, there was a dull pain in her heart for some reason, and tears on her cheeks at some point.

But now, feeling the increasingly hot air and looking at the increasingly desperate Mikael. She remembered everything at once.

She remembered that the long dream was her first real contact with another self.

In that dream, the memories of the two "Xi'er" and even themselves intertwined and merged with each other. Although they became independent individuals again when they woke up, some traces of her inevitably remained in her consciousness.

So she remembered, remembered the time that "another Xi'er" had spent with Mikael, remembered the feeling of curling up in Mikael's arms at the end of her life, painful, unwilling, fearful, but relieved and calm.

At the very end, she remembered Mikael's face full of tears and regret.

"So, the other me, you are Xi'er in this world, right?"

She pressed hard on her chest and asked softly.

"Xi'er" did not give a clear answer.

Of course, she did not pretend to be silent anymore.

"How? Does he look stupid and embarrassing now?"

She silently diverted the topic and asked back.

"..."

"Xi'er, the man in front of you is a complete loser. Most of the things he wanted to change were not changed, and most of the people he wanted to save were not saved. He even killed those who should have been saved by him. And Xi'er, what you are seeing now is his most stupid, cowardly, and inferior moment."

Xi'er raised her hand and listened to the confession of another self. She was a little confused.

"Why? Don't you think this guy is pitiful? There must be something hateful about pitiful people. Of course, in the words of this guy himself... A person's character is his destiny. Whether he is more despicable and selfish than he is now, or more selfless and ruthless than he is now, he will not suffer such pain."

Xi'er retracted her hand and gently hit her chest twice, which was still painful.

"No."

"Huh?"

"No, Xier. Xier is the same as Xier. Xier can feel Xier's emotions... Although you have been belittling the brother Mikael you know, you are also heartbroken and relieved, right? If not, how can Xier feel these things?"

The other Xier was speechless.

Xier showed a winner's smile, although, if she really had a choice, she just hoped that this matter had never happened from the beginning.

She walked slowly towards Mikael. She didn't know if she could do it, and how far she could go. She only knew that she must cheer up brother Mikael and then defeat the Herrscher.

But just after taking a step, her whole body suddenly trembled, and a rage ignited from the deepest part of her heart, and then it was out of control, making her entire chest become extremely hot.

"Xi'er, you——"

"Shh! Although it's been a while... but when it really comes to this moment, I really can't let it go."

The other Xi'er's voice was ethereal and sad, and as for anger, it was already beyond words.

So, everyone saw "Xi'er" quickly walked up to Mikael, then grabbed his collar and slapped him hard.

See someone ask if this is an illusion or a world bubble? It must be a world bubble. The environment is a one-sided imagination, and it is naturally impossible to describe the psychology from the perspective of another person in the environment.
