Plop.
Sonia fell into the deep sea, the impact cut her face and tightened her waist and abdomen.
Seawater invades the eyes and nose, and the sour and astringent feeling spreads from the respiratory tract to the eyeballs.
Gurgling bubbles passed by her and escaped from the water one by one, bursting, bursting... When the last bubble burst, Sonia could no longer hear any sound. It seemed as if the whole world was left with only her and the dark deep sea.
This is death.
Sonia felt unexpectedly calm.
You can't hear anything, so don't worry about words.
There is nothing to see, so don't worry about the facts.
I was the only one left falling in the deep sea, so the whole world had nothing to do with me.
I feel empty inside, yet extremely at ease.
But she didn't think she had such a calm realization. The truth should be that everyone who passed through the curtain of death could obtain eternal peace. After all, death is the greatest tragedy in life. If you can't get rid of the shackles of death after death, it would be too cruel.
If it weren't for this wonderful peace, Sonia felt that she would be trapped in regret. She had no reason not to regret. She was only twenty years old, she had many good friends, and even if she didn't enter heaven, she was still a demigod magician who was above all other living beings. She still had many things she wanted to do, and many places she hadn't been to. Her life had just begun... but it ended here.
She was like a lonely shooting star, a brilliant firework. Even if she had shone and bloomed, she would still feel uncomfortable in the long loneliness afterwards. After all, she was just a girl who had just turned 20 a few days ago. How could she be willing to die like those great men?
She was not willing to do it.
She really wants to live on. There are still many dramas she hasn't watched, many concerts she hasn't attended, she hasn't starred in a movie or drama, and she hasn't become the dream of young boys and girls.
She really wants to continue to be with the witches. Even if they no longer need to team up for adventures and instead run heaven, she still wants to continue living with them. To her, Lisdea, Weisser, and even Vichy are not just teammates, but family members who share life and death with her.
Also, I really want to...really want to...
Mumble.
Sonia opened her mouth slightly and exhaled a bubble. As the sound of the bubble rising gradually faded away, the turbulent waves in her heart calmed down.
When I think about it, I really have become nothing like myself.
Although she already has an extremely bright future, she is willing to risk everything to uphold the Kingdom of Heaven; although she does not want to be hostile to the cunning gods from the bottom of her heart, she dares to draw her sword against them without hesitation; although she thinks life would be better without love, she still wants to see him.
If she had not participated in this action, if she had not held high the Kingdom of Heaven, although the team would have fallen apart, she could have lived the life she had always dreamed of in the human world, doing whatever she wanted, having her dreams come true, with all beings bowing to her, and heaven and earth submitting to her. And as long as there was time, it would not be a problem for her to form an alliance with the witches again - there were only four of them in the human world, immortal demigods who lived forever, and they were of the same kind, and no matter how big the conflict was, it could not overcome the long loneliness.
If I have time today, I will go to Gospel to play with the witch. If I can't sleep tomorrow, I will go to Senluo to talk with Yin Deng. The day after tomorrow, when I hear that Weixi is killing people to refine souls, I will go to supervise whether there is any harm to innocent people. Once a week, we will have a tea party to exchange our experience in magic. The witch is the most lively and lovely, Yin Deng is serious, and Weixi always likes to be sarcastic. They can chat all day without getting tired of it... It's interesting just to think about it.
It would be better if I didn't save Ash, it would be better if I didn't think about Ash, it would be better if… there was no Ash.
But if there is no Ash, there will be no me today, and there will be no us today.
Sonia always thought that amnesia was a good thing for her. Forgetting the memory of Ash and how he had cheated on her would help improve her happiness. But now she felt a little bit at a disadvantage, because even if she had lost her memory, she still took risks for Ash, just like a girl in love, who dared to betray everything, including her selfish self, in order to see the person she loved.
Once a love story is written on a piece of pure white paper, even if the story is wiped clean, beautiful traces will still be left on the paper.
It would be better not to lose memory.
If she hadn't lost her memory, she could at least be like a silly girl, sinking into death with happy memories in her arms.
Tick.
She seemed to hear a drop of water hitting the water, creating shallow ripples. She felt that the drop of water did not merge into the sea, but fell all the way down and dripped onto the ring on her ring finger.
Until this moment, Sonia had not noticed that she was wearing a wedding ring. She had so naturally ignored this detail, as if wearing a ring on her ring finger was a matter of course.
She saw a faint red line extending from the ring, passing through the dark deep sea and connecting to a distance that she could not see.
A scene suddenly popped into her mind.
In the clean and tidy single room, a young man who was obviously wearing prison uniform was looking at her expectantly. Sonia knew at first glance that he was Ash Hiss, because although he was not particularly good-looking, there was a clear stupidity in his eyes, which was very consistent with the tone shown in the diary.
"Are you so happy to see me? Even at this time, you are still afraid of loneliness and a strange prison. You even regard me as your lifeline. You panic when you don't see me for a day, just like a little child..."
"But it's fine this way. Only in this way can you trust her, rely on her, and even..."
Sonia felt a hint of mockery and inexplicable expectation in her heart. In her eyes, Ash was like a little brother acting like a spoiled child, and she was the big sister who could easily control Ash and control his emotional life with ease.
The next scene was the Sea of Knowledge, where a small boat floated on the sea surrounded by white mist. She was hidden in the mist, watching the red-haired girl put her hand through Ash's waist, gently hugged him, and put her chin on his shoulder. Perhaps because it was the first time they hugged, their movements were a little stiff. When Ash wanted to hug her, the red-haired girl quickly pulled away and looked at him with a mischievous smile on her face. However, when Ash said ambiguous love words while looking at her, it was the red-haired girl's turn to flee.
The ambiguity of testing each other, the shyness of not daring to express one's feelings, and this heart-pounding game where whoever admits that they like the other first loses.
"You don't have a dream, but you can protect my dream..."
"I feel as light as a balloon, and only you are the string that ties me to the ground..."
"You two really like each other. I feel like I'm going to be laughed at by the Black Demon and the Ghost Demon. The End Watcher and the Death Mad Sword Princess are in love with each other. This news is a very explosive hell joke even in the Sixth Hell."
"but..."
"I thought I would be disgusted by your good relationship, but surprisingly, it feels like... it's pretty good. The Doomsday Observer is a monster in human skin, and the Death Mad Sword Princess is a bloodless and tearless villain. Of course it's disgusting that a monster and a villain fall in love, but the death row prisoner who is about to escape and the cute female college student have feelings for each other... It feels like something is wrong."
"But thinking about love all day is harmful to Sonia's swordsmanship training. Love will only affect her sword-drawing speed. I have killed all the swordsmen who valued feelings. Let's wait and see. If it doesn't affect her, it's fine. But if the ambiguous relationship with Ash really affects her magic training, then I can only..."
"Help her a little."
The third act is about the decryption of the secret poison of the golden fish. Ash and Sonia hold hands and combine the silver wings on each side of their bodies to form a pair of flying wings, flying from the Sea of Knowledge to the Continent of Time.
"You've already held hands but you still haven't confessed your feelings? Can you two take the initiative a little more? It makes me anxious just watching you."
"So I... So Sonia can make this kind of expression. She's like a happy idiot. Is it so happy to be in love with the person you like? Humph."
"But he's leaving prison soon. This guy is essentially a dehumanized monster. When he regains his freedom, can he really maintain his innocence? Sooner or later, you will regret falling in love with this man. Everything in the world will betray you. The only thing you can trust is the sword in your hand."
The fourth scene is the Continent of Time. She watched Ash and Sonia walk into the Dark Fantasy Sound Miracle Paradise. It was obvious that the two had just had a fight and were about to break up, but in the darkness that could not be detected, they both turned around at the same time and wanted to kiss each other on the cheek, and ended up kissing each other mouth to mouth.
"You've made up your mind, haven't you? Why are you moved now? I don't remember me being so easy to please. You changed your mind after just a kiss. It's really embarrassing for me."
"Hmph, although Ash hasn't revealed the evil of the Viewer, he has awakened the Viewer's instinct to see into people's hearts. He can keenly detect the slightest change in your mood. The Viewer can use this ability to control us, and Ash can also use this talent to control you... No, we have to find a way to get Sonia out of the fire pit."
In the fifth scene, in the dreamlike bubble of the distant sky, Ash and Sonia sat on the edge of the rooftop holding hands, and the witch came over and held his fingers tightly.
"You're just going to watch the black devil, no, the witch, share a man with you? Did you learn the swordsmanship in vain, Sonia!?"
In the sixth act, in the dreamlike bubble of the "True or False" entry, Ash and Sonia both saw through all the false illusions accurately, and recognized each other as real the moment they met each other. Ash had just confessed that he couldn't choose between Sword Lady and Witch, and he wanted both. Sonia was so angry that she wanted to break off the relationship, but this tacit understanding made her soft-hearted and she asked for three things instead. It was also here that the two no longer avoided meeting in reality and made an appointment to meet under the stars.
"Shameless bastards." She curled her lips.
In the seventh act, in the Starry Kingdom, Sonia suddenly returned to Felix's room and saw Ash who was unconscious. When Deda Rose asked her if she was willing to become the leader of the Four Pillars, betray the Starry Kingdom, smash the false sky, and rescue Ash from the cage of the stars, Sonia agreed without hesitation.
"You betrayed your country, your career, and your life just to save a shameless fat Labrador, a lover who can't even give you 100% love..." She snorted in dissatisfaction: "You are really crazy..."
In the eighth scene, the sky was broken, and the sun shone into the starry earth for the first time. Ash, lying on the girl's lap, opened his eyes and looked into the eyes of his beloved for the first time in reality. One said "I'm back", and the other said "You're back". The two did not seem like virtual lovers who had never met before, but more like newlyweds who had been separated for a short time, hugging and kissing each other in a sweet way.
She watched quietly from the side, without any thoughts in her mind, only the sweet joy as if she had eaten ice cream, and a trace of indescribable melancholy.
In the next scene, the scene changed to a desolate area. There were no other operators around Ash. He looked up at her with surprise and a hint of disappointment in his eyes. She didn't know why she was furious. She grabbed Ash's hand and stabbed the cigarette butt into his palm.
"Do you think I want to appear in front of you!? If Ouroboros hadn't swallowed Hell, someone would have to lead you to plunder Hell. Do you think I want to act with you? How dare you look down on me? I'm so sorry that I couldn't let you date Sonia in Hell!"
…
First exploration of Hell.
"I told you not to make Sonia angry, but you have to mess with other women?"
"You suspect that I put you in danger on purpose... Yes, I did. It's your fault that you can't even pamper Sonia and make her feel so wronged. Go to hell, you fat bastard. You're just a waste of money if you live in this world."
"This is our first time trading hearts. I'll make you lose Vishi's memory first. After all, you've been pretty close to that bastard lately... How dare Vishi like the same person as Sonia?"
…
Second exploration of Hell.
"How dare you lose your temper with me over that bastard Vichy!?"
"Forget about Lisdiya and Youlan Weisser. Even if they are not as good as Sonia, they are still good women. Weixi is a demon that has lived from ancient times to the present. It's outrageous just to play with her. How dare you like her?"
"Vichy is a bitch, and you are a bitch too! Bitch bitch bitch!"
…
See Harvey's coffin.
"Are you so sad about the death of Igula and Harvey... Really... Sometimes I even doubt whether you like them or not."
"You can't even recover from your grief, yet you still want to comfort me... However, I am looking forward to you and Sonia going back to meet your parents. Mother will definitely be very happy. What she is most worried about is that her daughter is pushing herself too hard and doesn't even have a close friend to share her joys and sorrows. However, if mother knew that her daughter was just a member of the harem and was often wronged, she might prefer that her daughter not fall in love..."
"But at least it's better than the spectator. Until his death, Huo Xin never received the spectator's love... But to be reduced to being on par with the spectator is enough to show how despicable you are."
…
Entering the fantasy hell, Ash looked directly into the realm of God.
"Just get lost in the realm of God. You deserve it for liking that bitch Vichy. You already have so many women, and I just want you to like one less, but you still got mad at me... Do you think I'm hurting you? If you get involved with Vichy, will I or Sonia be the ones who get hurt in the end?"
"You still need me to save you... But you are bound to Sonia, not me. How can I call you out from the realm of God?"
"This is the only way I can try... I am Sonia Servi, Sonia who has not even turned 20 yet, Sonia who is a swordsman demigod who rebelled against the Starry Kingdom, Sonia who wants to be with Ash forever..."
…
"This bastard... Veela... a bastard!"
"I'm lonely? I've been wandering in the Golden River for thousands of years, and you, a fat guy who hasn't lived for even a few decades, dare to guess what I'm thinking!?"
"And you even kissed me before you left. You're such a cowardly, shameless, fickle-minded bastard. Are you so afraid of my revenge? Well, next time you go to hell, I'll burn your palms!"
…
In the Senluo Kingdom, Ash and his companions were ambushed by eight angels.
"To protect them, you sold your soul for the second time... Humph, Mirror Demon, can you find a chance to kill Vichy?"
"No? When did you become so close to the ghosts? Forget it, then you should defeat the descending angels with ease. It would be best if you beat them so hard that their hearts and minds are broken, and by the way, you can snatch their secret world. Since these rubbish of the gods dare to reach into the human world, then chop off their hands."
…
Entering the Sixth Level of Hell, Ash and the Supreme God went to the battlefield together.
"You are a pair of scissors... You have really got Sonia under your control. When she is hard, you are soft, and when she is soft, you are hard. You two stupid lovers are hopeless."
"Since you brought Sonia home to meet my parents, I'll let you go this time."
"You actually used your third mind here? If you use it, you'll die the next time... But for someone like you who bets your hopes on miracles, it doesn't seem surprising at all."
"Tsk, the black devil got out of control at this moment... Now Ash is going to be tortured by her."
"This guy, while saying cool things, was tortured to death by the black devil. He was shaking in pain, but he still dared to challenge the black devil. Besides being funny... he is indeed a little cool."
"No wonder Sonia likes him so much that she won't let him go..."
…
In the hotel bathroom in the Blood Moon Kingdom.
"You can either choose to spend the last two months of wonderful time with them, or choose to be forgotten by everyone and fight to save the world in a hell that no one knows about... But after the world is saved, no one will know your achievements. The only thing you can get is their world."
"They won't even know that they once had someone they loved. In a world where you don't exist, they will live happily. You can only change the ending of others, the only thing you can't change is your own destiny."
“It’s obviously a bad ending and a worse ending, why can you still smile so refreshingly… Are you so relieved just because you can help them avoid a worse ending?”
"Even though I'm with that bitch Vichy, why can't I learn her selfishness and cruelty? It's really..."
…
Six levels of hell, the final battle.
"It's so funny. You turned against us right after you merged our powers. Do you think you can disobey us just because you have a strength that's close to that of the Eight Wings?"
"You are right about one thing... If you are not the one who makes them happy, then what is the point of saving the world? Liking someone is not about giving alone, that is just boring self-admiration, but about letting the other person know and recognize your efforts, so that the other person will also be happy. But I guess after Sonia regains her memory, she will probably be very angry that you acted alone..."
"Before I become your enemy, let us stand side by side one last time."
"It's either war or death!"
Mumble.
Sonia blew out a bubble, and she vaguely saw that in the distance connected by the red line of the ring, a final battle that would erase time and space was taking place.
Billions of colors are raging in the world, and the colorful sword can cut through everything.
Perhaps because it was too far away, or perhaps because her magic level was not high enough, she could not see the details of the battle inside, and could only see the most familiar stranger.
Beside him, there were four phantoms, purple-blue, gray-silver, turbid black, and blood-red.
"Ash, are you also having a hard time?" Sonia whispered softly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Come on."
It was strange that even though Sonia knew that Ash was fighting an unprecedentedly difficult war, she had no worries. Not only because of the peace of death, but also because she knew that even if she was not there, Ash would still be around.
Sonia was a little confused at first when she received the complex memories transmitted from the silk thread, but she soon realized that these were not her memories. To be honest, it was quite embarrassing to watch her love story from the perspective of others, but she soon immersed herself in the emotional ups and downs of the "bystander", and gradually sketched out the image of a big sister who was similar to her, but more mature, worse-tempered, and more prejudiced.
What’s more interesting is that as the story progressed, she vaguely felt that the mood of the bystanders changed from curiosity in the beginning, to concern in the middle, and finally to the same mood as hers in the end.
Sonia shook her ring finger slightly, and the red line trembled. At this time, she clearly saw that the red line of bond between her and Ash passed through the finger of the blood-red figure halfway.
"Next," Sonia said gently from a distance, "it's up to you."
The blood-red figure turned his head and looked at her, and seemed to take out something and put it in his mouth. In the lightning-fast confrontation, Ash next to him put his hand to her mouth and made a gesture to light a cigarette.
The blood-red figure took a deep puff of cigarette, exhaled a round of smoke rings with satisfaction, and then -
She put the cigarette into Sonia's mouth.
