Chapter 16 "Scene 7" Just like a "sorry", light...
“It’s chaos.
Nothing.
This world has been like this since the beginning.
There are no flowers, no birds.
There will be no companions, no destined people.
Everyone is everyone's enemy, and everyone is everyone's friend.
......
"Sleep, sleep, my dear baby."
"Mom blesses you, mom celebrates for you."
"The beauty I see, the beauty you see, are all in your honor."
"Sleep, sleep, my dear baby."
......
"Dad, your magic is so cool! Will I ever be able to have such powerful magic?"
"...Did your friend tell you this?"
"...No, I saw it on TV."
"Okay, okay. I'm sure you'll become quite powerful in the future."
"Really?! Thank you, Dad!"
......
"Mom, where is Dad? Is he playing hide-and-seek with us? I will definitely find Dad!"
"...Baby, what would you like to eat today?"
"......Mother?"
"Ahem! Sorry...baby, how about curry rice bowl today?"
"Really?! Thank you, Mom!"
......
"Today, you were born!"
“......?”
"Let me see, you need a name, right?"
“…”
"How about calling me Xiao Qin?"
“…”
"That's good. Someone can accompany me, and I can accompany you."
“…”
"You must remember me, my name is——"
......
A clear and bright scene.
Laughter and joy.
This is how the world ends from the end.
Full of flowers and flying birds.
Those who walk together will live forever, and those who are destined to be together will always be there.
No one is no one's enemy, and no one is no one's friend."
"Did you see that, Xiao Qin?"
"Choice 1: I saw it."
"Choice 2: I saw it."
"Choice 3: I saw it."
「Choice 4: ......(Unlocked)」
“…I saw it.”
"Do you remember, Xiao Qin?"
"Choice 1: I remember."
"Choice 2: I remember."
"Choice 3: I remember."
「Choice 4:......(Unlocked)」
"...I remember now."
"In that case... Now, return to reality and make the final decision you can before your life is gone."
"......leaf."
"......leaf!"
"Xiao Qin" woke up from her confused memories of the past and exclaimed softly.
But the empty space was still there.
"You're awake." The woman standing next to her was wearing a black and white diamond-patterned dress and a long black windbreaker.
"Xiao Qin" was leaning against a tree. There was a big bump on her head and she was dirty. She felt very uncomfortable. "Where's Ye?"
"She's gone back. She's back to where she should be." The woman's windbreaker rustled in the wind. "And you, I need you to help me."
"Qin, now that you remember everything, you should understand that you cannot exist at the same time."
The woman pulled her up from the ground.
"But none of this matters," the woman said, stopping "Xiao Qin" from retorting. "Now, help me create a [drama] for him, okay? In return, I'll help you destroy the [school]."
"Aren't you the leader of the school?" "Xiao Qin" looked at the woman with a questioning look, looking for an opportunity to escape.
"Hmm." The woman nodded and took a cigarette from the pocket of her windbreaker.
Just as she was about to light it up, she turned her head and saw "Xiao Qin's" disdainful attitude. She made another "tsk" sound and replaced the cigarette with a lollipop.
"Xiao Qin" pointed at the man who had been knocked unconscious and tied up like a caterpillar in the open space, and asked curiously: "Who is this man?"
"Don't worry about it. Just create a scene for him where he fails in his search for the truth and dies." The woman spoke clearly even though she had a lollipop in her mouth.
"It's easy for Xiao Qin to create drama, but she doesn't know what the truth, failure, or death are when a woman speaks of them."
"What should I do?"
"Please make your choice!"
"Choice 1: Go ahead and do it."
"Choice 2: Complete it haphazardly."
"Option 3: Slightly change it."
「Choice 4:......(Unlocked)」
"You mean what you say?" "Xiao Qin" asked the woman standing casually on the side.
The woman nodded, indicating for her to continue.
"Look, the magic continues."
......
"Xiao Qin" used the magic [theater] to create a [play] for this man whose origin was unknown.
In the play, the man is called "Detective" and the other woman, yes, the woman who asked her to create the play, is called "A Ling".
There was also a familiar-looking girl, about the same age as them, with pigtails and wearing the school's uniform colorful dress and black and white diamond-patterned jacket.
According to the woman's idea, the man would "commit suicide" after the death of the other two, and the journey to find the truth would naturally be unable to continue.
But after "Xiao Qin" himself made "slight changes", the plot became completely different.
The girl is no longer allergic to "wild flowers", so there will be no conflicts among the three.
After they lived happily for a while, it was time for the man to leave.
He set out from the [Palace] and continued exploring deeper into the woods.
After searching for a while, the man found a beautiful and brilliant sea of flowers deep in the woods, outside the school.
These flowers were very common to "Xiao Qin", but the man seemed shocked. He did not touch the flowers at first, but carefully walked around them.
When the man was about to climb over the wall of the school, a sharp leaf pierced his body, followed by dozens more!
Until he turned into a dead leaf and fell heavily from the wall.
"The inspector looked at the girl in front of him, who was so familiar to him, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something."
"He knew that this might just be their first meeting, but it might also be their farewell forever."
"Please make your choice!"
"Choice 1: "Qin Ye.""
"Choice 2: "Qin Ye.""
"Choice 3: "Qin Ye.""
「Choice 4: "Daughter." (Unlocked)」
Yuan Yang is in the body of the "inspector", experiencing the same pain as the inspector.
As He Yuezhe shared before, he realized as soon as he entered the dungeon that he was possessed by the grumpy "inspector".
However, unlike the previous mode of fighting monsters, this time reasoning and decryption prevailed, and he could not change the behavior of the "detective" and could only make appropriate choices according to the plot.
[You have made your choice!]
"Daughter." The "Inspector" said softly while spitting out blood.
The figure of the girl in front of me was getting closer and closer, but also getting more and more blurred.
The "Inspector" felt the girl's tremendous strength and she lifted him up from the ground, but with the girl's height, the "Inspector" could only be dragged behind her like a doll.
"Hmm...hmm..." The girl seemed to be humming something.
It seems to be...
"Sleep, sleep, my dear baby."
..."Lullaby"?
"Sleep, sleep, my dear baby."
The girl kept repeating the same line of lyrics, but the tune was very different from the version that the "Inspector" was familiar with.
"Sleep, sleep, my dear baby."
The "inspector"'s blood was all over the floor, and he had no time to care about anything else.
"I will bless you and I will celebrate for you."
Is this the daughter he has been looking for for many years and has been imprisoned? The "inspector" asked himself.
"I will bless you and I will celebrate for you."
Yes, without a doubt, the Inspector answered himself.
"Sleep, sleep, my dear baby."
......
"He's dead." The woman exhaled lightly from her cigarette and shook her hair in relief. "Well done."
Only then did "Xiao Qin" discover that the woman had "colorful" hair, and she could see all the colors that existed in the world in the woman's hair.
The woman's eyes suddenly turned into vertical pupils, which was clearly not an ability that humans should have!
"You know magic?" "Xiao Qin" stood up and let go of the lifeless man. "You're not human!?"
Those [leaders], "Xiao Qin" remembers that all the leaders in the [school] are [human beings].
But the woman in front of me, she clearly...!
"Yes, it's me, baby. Have you forgotten what you just remembered?" The woman suddenly changed her tone.
......Mother?
Mother?
Mother!
"The woman in front of me is actually my mother who died many years ago?! Xiao Qin couldn't believe it."
"Should I trust women?"
"Please make your choice!"
"Choice 1: Believe."
"Choice 2: Don't believe it."
"Choice 3: Silence. (Unlocked)"
「Choice 4:......(Unlocked)」
Xiao Qin felt dizzy again, and she heard herself saying, "Mom, I remember you..."
"Mom, I remember you."
"Mom, I remember you!!"
......
Repeated words have no meaning.
"Xiao Qin" tried to control himself.
"I'm back, baby, come with me?" The woman's tone was extremely gentle.
It's her damn [hypnosis] again!
Although "Xiao Qin" doesn't follow the rules very much, she still often accompanies "Ye" in the library.
Therefore, she knew that [Hypnosis] and [Theatre] were the same type of magic.
According to the "Code of Magic", even if the difference in magic power between the two sides is too great, high-level magic can suppress low-level magic to a certain extent.
"The magic continues again."
"Don't resist anymore, baby, I will take you to the Utopia."
The woman reached out her hands to Xiao Qin's head: "Believe me, baby, I won't hurt you."
"Qin Ye! Answer me, answer me... Tell me you will be obedient, tell me, tell me!"
The woman's face began to distort!
The whole world is moving away from "Xiao Qin", only [all] [hatred] remains in front of her.
"oh."
"Xiao Qin remembered something...very important."
"That is the most important secret between Xiao Qin and Ye, a secret that Ye is unwilling to reveal no matter what."
“————————!”
"Hahahahahaha! They were originally one person, a complete and whole person!"
"Suddenly one day, boom! This person's worldview collapsed. Hahahahahahahahaha, another brand new, alternative self was born!"
"This person is called Qin Ye."
"Oh, no, no, what 'Qin Ye'? There are clearly only Xiao Qin and Ye. There has never been a 'Qin Ye' in this world. There never was, and there never will be."
“Hahahahahaha, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”
“HA ...!!!”
"Qin Ye, you are still crazy."
The woman withdrew her hand, and Xiao Qin's world returned to clarity.
"[Assessment] Completed. [Subject]'s [Obedience] is extremely low, making it impossible to [contain] normally. [Destroy] immediately. Please reply if you have received this. Please reply if you have received this!"
"Hmm? Ye, you're back after all." The woman looked at "Ye" who had been hiding behind the tree for a long time without making a sound. "Are you going to stop me?"
"Hmm...you look so clean. Did you just take a shower?" The woman smiled at her.
"Ye" walked out from behind the tree, looked at "Xiao Qin" at her feet, and said nothing.
"You've already discovered it? What should I do? I'm so distressed." The woman held her forehead and sighed. Are you still not going to say anything?
"Just a reminder, after [destruction] you won't see each other again."
"But this is also for the safety of 'Qin Ye'. I think you can understand that, right?"
"--Zila--Stop talking nonsense!" A buzzing sound came from the [communicator] in the woman's hand.
"Hey, did you hear it?" The woman deliberately waved the [communicator] towards "Ye" so that "Ye" could hear it better.
......
......
......
"Sleep, sleep, my dear baby."
"Sleep, sleep, my dear baby."
"Sleep, sleep, my dear baby."
"Xiao Qin doesn't know what's happening in the outside world."
"In the midst of chaos, she recalled the last missing piece of her memory."
"Xiao Qin doesn't belong to the [school], and should never be a part of the [school]."
"The school said they needed a blind person, so Qin Ye became the blind person."
"The school said they needed a mute, so Qin Ye became the mute."
"The school said they needed a deaf person, so Qin Ye became the deaf person."
"The school said they needed blood, so Qin Ye became the blood."
"But fortunately, during this period, Qin Ye learned a kind of [magic] called [All], and she managed to survive with this [magic] and is still intact."
"But her soul is missing, and 'Qin Ye' has become two people."
"Xiao Qin is the one who represents ideals. She is always passionate and will not give in to anything. She is a strong child."
"Ye represents reality. Although she is cowardly, she is still determined. She is the true meaning of "Qin Ye" and she is a person who will never give up until her death."
"In order to escape from the school, Xiao Qin devised a plan—faking his own death during the exam."
"As for Ye, she didn't hold any hope for this plan, but she still continued to encourage Xiao Qin."
"Xiao Qin wants to [destroy] this [school], she wants to [destroy] all the [magic] in the world, and she wants to save all the children in the world."
"She wants to save Xiao Qin. Save Ye. Save the [deceased] 'Qin Ye'."
"Finally, the time has come for the final decision. Even though I can't contact the outside world, Xiao Qin still wants to do something for the future of the three of them."
"Please make your choice!"
"Now, face your heart."
"Choice 1: Insist on destroying the [school] and destroying [magic]."
"Choice 2: Abandon the plan and return to [school]."
「Choice 3:......(Unlocked)」
「Choice 4:......(Unlocked)」
He Yuezhe looked at the lines of white words that kept flashing back in the dark world.
She probably guessed the meaning of the words in square brackets, which represented everything "false".
The children knew everything clearly, but they couldn't say it out loud.
What children should listen to is "Lullaby", why should they listen to the brainwashing "I like [school]" and "I want to live in [school] until I die" over and over again?
Oh, actually, this is not a school.
——This is clearly a hell!
"Yeah, hell, but what can I do? I'm already dying."
"Let me take one more look, my savior, let me take one more look at the world outside this hell."
"...Only in this way can I make a choice."
Qin Ye opened his eyes.
Green trees, green grass, red flowers, red smiling faces, blue sky, blue ribbons, the pitch-black depths of the woods and the pitch-black blood.
A normal woman with long black hair lying on the side, the missing "leaf", and the muddy ground with no trace of fighting.
A world without lies turns out to be so beautiful.
Qin Ye looked straight at the sky, as if she was as free and unrestrained as the white clouds in the sky.
"Ye, we... succeeded..."
Qin Ye could no longer imagine her hands and legs. She could only lie on the ground and let the mud and water soak her clothes.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry...!" The man's voice came from nowhere and was quickly replaced by tinnitus.
Qin Ye could no longer imagine his ears.
He Yuezhe then realized that the power of these words, as light as a feather, was not enough to respond to the harm suffered by anyone.
The unspoken "It's okay" in the throat has turned into a whimper, as if "Ye" is preventing himself from forgiving the world.
Qin Ye could no longer imagine his own voice.
Everything beautiful in front of me, everything!
Qin Ye didn't know how to express it in such a way as to simply summarize all the beautiful things in the world in one sentence, so she had no choice but to obey her body and close her eyes.
Qin Ye could no longer imagine what he had seen.
She only felt that "Ye" was hugging her and singing the "Lullaby" at the end.
"Sleep, sleep, my dear baby."
"I will bless you and I will celebrate for you."
......
"Sleep, sleep, my dear self."
“You have to bless you, you have to celebrate you.”
......
“The goodness you see, the beauty you see, all of it is in your honor.”
......
"Qin Ye, I hope you can remember me, remember everything in this world that you have given warmth to, and everything that has also given warmth to you."
"But, all that warmed me... has been burned out by me, hasn't it?"
"No! Look, we are all living well!"
"Ye" and "Xiao Qin" burst into laughter with bruised faces.
So Qin Ye started crying.
Maybe she was tired, "Ye" started to cry while laughing, and the tears dripped onto the wound, but she still hugged Qin Ye tightly, and the tears on the wound had been gently wiped away by "Xiao Qin".
Qin Ye smiled when he saw this, and he smiled happily.
"Yes, we live a good life." She said, "We live better than those rubbish school leaders who like to plant flowers!..."
......
"Qin Ye is dead.
Like saying "I'm sorry."
Light as a feather."
