That's not a game

"When I hid in the ground with everyone, I felt that I was about to be unable to hold on."

"I can't see hope either. I feel like I'm going to die if I take one step back."

"But the doctor gave me hope, so I want to continue to wait! I want to continue to retreat, I want to continue to be weak!"

"But why, why are you telling me not to wait any longer? My people! Why are you killing me?!"

"What did you say to bring me relief? How do you know? For the sake of Lang Zhong, I am ready to persevere no matter what!"

"I must last until the end of the war... Lang... Lang Zhong?"

Ah Yan, who was crying, paused, looked up, and looked at Lin Xiaoge who was slowly walking towards her.

This time, she finally cried out to Lin Xiaoge surrounded by the corpses of countless people.

"Ah, doctor, I killed my people! Why would I do this?!"

She cried like a child, because before she met Lin Xiaoge, her people were the ones who supported her to keep going.

And now, in order to continue to give in weakly and wait until the future of living with Lang Zhong, she killed the people who wanted to kill her.

The people are very important to her.

And the doctor is equally important.

For Lang Zhong to kill the people, it doesn't mean Ah Yan will be relieved directly.

On the contrary, in her heart, she already felt endless guilt for killing her subjects.

This is like a mother who loves her husband brutally kills her beloved child for her husband.

This guilt and self-blame was about to kill Ah Yan, who was a mother.

Ah Yan didn't know what to do anymore, she could only cry, she could only cry with her head down.

"It's okay, Ah Yan."

Lin Xiaoge gently stroked Ah Yan's head, comforting him.

But Ah Yan was still crying, she sobbed.

"Langzhong, I... I want to run away again, what should I do? Why... why is Ah Yan so weak? Obviously, Ah Yan has written to Langzhong, so he won't run away, but why does Ah Yan still want to run away?" what."

What Ah Yan wanted to escape was her guilty heart, the one who blamed herself infinitely.

She couldn't directly see herself as the doctor who killed the people. She wanted to escape from that terrible self, to a place where no one could see her, and to lock herself up completely.

Lin Xiaoge rubbed Ah Yan's head, and there was infinite tenderness in his eyes blooming at this moment. He smiled softly, "If Ah Yan wants to escape, just run away. Anyway, I will catch up."

"I'm sorry... Doctor, Ah Yan is a weak person, Ah Yan is a bad woman, Ah Yan... can only run away..."

Ah Yan cried with her head down, and she shed tears.

Those teardrops turned into white salt, and spread from where they landed towards Ah Yan's body, until the white salt spread to every part of her body, Ah Yan also completely became a crying girl with her head bowed. White Salt Sculpture.

In the very center of the sculpture, where Ah Yan is holding in his hand, a thumb-sized pure white gem is quietly held by Ah Yan.

Not far away, at the door of the underground space, Zhong Li, who arrived late, watched this scene and sighed slowly.

Self-blame eventually turned her weak into a sculpture like her own people.

She also escaped from this reality.

Chapter 26 Zhongli: I feel like I might have a split personality

"Is this the unbreakable story?"

Lin Xiaoge looked at the white salt sculpture in front of him, murmured to himself, and felt a little powerless.

As the story says, Ah Yan will be killed by his own people and loved ones.

Just like now, she... died indirectly at the hands of her people, and at the hands of her most beloved person——Lin Xiaoge.

She originally wanted to continue to persevere in pain for Lin Xiaoge, instead of evading weakly as before.

But... Lin Xiaoge let her escape, let her escape by "suicide".

It is shameful to escape, but... for the weak Ah Yan, it is the best way to solve problems.

But he said, he will catch up.

Lin Xiaoge gently stroked the statue made of white salt in front of her, and whispered slowly, "Ayan, don't worry, I... will catch up with you."

Lin Xiaoge raised her hand, as if she was about to do something.

But, suddenly, a hand grabbed his arm and asked in a deep voice.

"What are you going to do, doctor?"

"Mr. Zhongli?"

Lin Xiaoge paused, looked at the owner of that hand, and saw that the latter was looking at him very seriously, "Master, what do you want to do?"

"I……"

Lin Xiaoge was silent, what did he want to do just now?

Yes, he is a guy who doesn't value his life.

What he thought just now, I'm afraid... was that he wanted to make a sacrifice with the earth veins again, so that Ah Yan could come back.

"Lang Zhong, what did you want to do just now?"

Zhong Li stared at Lin Xiaoge and asked.

Lin Xiaoge lowered her head, "I...I don't know either."

Since when did he start doing this?

Do you think everything can be redeemed by sacrificing yourself?

Was it because of the suicide on the tower, or did he sacrifice everything to the leylines when facing the abyss?

But what he came to this period of the Demon God War was to heal his own soul.

Now, he has to sacrifice everything of himself again.

If that's the case, wouldn't he just give up all his previous efforts?

You know, there are Wendy, Ying, Kong, Dekarapian, Jean, and Lisa waiting for him outside.

Moreover, even if Ah Yan came back, would she...would she really be happy?

Not to mention, he weakly sacrificed himself to let Ah Yan come back and let Ah Yan live in this world full of wars again. This kind of behavior is simply killing Ah Yan cruelly.

Besides, if he does this, isn't it also a kind of weak escape?

Lin Xiaoge lowered his head, he felt a kind of hesitation.

He seemed... a little used to sacrifice.

Looking at Lin Xiaoge like this, Zhong Li couldn't help pursing his lips, and said in doubt, "I don't know what you were going to do just now, sir, I only know... At that moment just now, I felt that you seemed to be going very far, sir. I can't help but reach out and grab you."

"Feel sorry……"

Lin Xiaoge lowered her head and said so, with a tone of apology from the bottom of her heart.

Zhong Li grabbed Lin Xiaoge's hand and said seriously, "Master, your apology seems a little weak."

"Then...Mr. Zhongli, what should I do?"

Lin Xiaoge raised her head and looked at Zhongli in front of her.

His eyes looked a little dazed.

He seemed... other than sacrificing himself, he no longer knew how to save everything.

Lin Xiaoge like this seemed...a little helpless.

Zhongli, who came across thousands of years, looked at this best friend from thousands of years ago with his own eyes, and felt more and more painful in his heart.

But what can he do?

His soul came across time and space, but he couldn't control himself in this time and space.

Just like just now, he can only give a feeling, a voice to himself in this time and space.

Otherwise, he would have let himself in this time and space shout out loudly.

"Langzhong, I am Zhongli from the future! Stop doing that stupid act of sacrificing yourself!"

The only thing he can do is to try his best to tell himself in this time and space from the deepest part of his soul, don't... let go of the white-haired young man in front of him.

Therefore, at this moment, Zhongli, who had not yet become an emperor, was naturally at a loss.

He could feel that in the depths of his soul, there seemed to be another self calling out to him, don't let go of the white-haired young man in front of him.

Therefore, facing Lin Xiaoge's question, Zhongli could only be puzzled and said, "I... I don't know what to do, I just know that I don't want to let go of your hand."

Lin Xiaoge was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, "Mr. Zhongli is really capricious. If that's the case...how about Mr. Zhongli doing me a favor?"

"What are you busy with?"

"Help me to fulfill Ah Yan's wish, and stop this demon war with me, Zhong... No, it's Mr. Morax. In this way, perhaps Ah Yan will not escape, and she will... come back .”

Morax instinctively wanted to shake his head and refuse, because it was thankless for him.

However, another voice that was completely consistent with him rang in his ears at this moment.

"Promise him, Morax, or...you will regret it."

Morax was stunned, and a picture suddenly flashed in his mind.

It was a white-haired young man standing on the endless bones, with a big hole in his heart, like a person who had no heart.

His figure is so lonely!

And when he turned his head, Zhong Li saw the face of the other party.

That's - the doctor's face!

But there was no familiar smile on that face, and there was only a kind of indifference from the bottom of his heart.

Could it be that if the doctor went to stop this war alone, would he become such a person?

At this moment, Morakes didn't hesitate anymore, and grabbed Lin Xiaoge's hand.

"I promise you, doctor!"

……

In the so-called "reality" timeline, in a cave under the salt of the earth.

Kong and the others were still amazed that Zhongli had successfully returned to the past, but soon Kong discovered a problem.

That was Heulia's body, which seemed to be...disappearing.

"Miss Heulia, what's going on with your body...?" Kong looked at the woman in the black dress whose figure was gradually becoming unreal in front of him, his expression was astonished.

But the latter smiled indifferently, and said in relief, "This means that Mr. Zhongli has successfully changed the past and prevented me from appearing."

Kong really couldn't understand, "Could it be... is this what you want to change, Miss Heulia? Change your own appearance?"

Heulia glanced at Kong with a faint smile, and said lightly, "You have never experienced that, so you naturally don't know why I did it. However, since Mr. Zhongli has truly gone to before all that happened, then this world, I'm afraid that will change completely."

Sora was still at a loss, but Heulia couldn't help laughing.

For thousands of years, she was just a ray of will that was summoned by the sacrifice. Her appearance was originally due to Ah Yan's complete escape and the doctor's sacrifice.

With the identity of Heulia, this wisp of will, plus the regrets of that day, has been growing until today, and finally bears fruit.

She finally changed the past.

She, too, can leave in relief.

Heulia closed her eyes, waiting for her existence to disappear completely.

However, just when she felt that she was about to leave completely, a voice that seemed to come from underground rang in her ears.

"Silly boy, do you really think you've changed the past?"

"In the end, what you are doing now is precisely because of the fruit he left behind."

"Besides, I also promised him that I will take you two sisters to a world without war."

Eh?
