"You have to face it before you can take the next step, right?" said the young man.
"Just don't face it!" Chao Yan held his shoulders. Emerald eyes stared at black eyes, she could see the mist in his eyes, and he could see the despair and panic in her eyes. Invisible threads like spider webs connected them, and even though they were very close, there didn't seem to be any strong feelings between them.
——It is only aimed at the stability of the world, cold, hot, desperate, clear as diamonds, turbid as mud, selfishness full of personal emotions, and selflessness full of justice.
"--For my world." She placed her finger on his chest and stared at him intently.
"-For my world." He shook his head slowly, avoiding her fiery gaze.
"--Please don't go to the prophecy stone wall again." She said.
——This will trigger a major rewind of the world, making the cause and effect line increasingly unstable.
"--Please don't stop me from going to the prophecy stone wall." He said.
——I must complete the main task of this link before I can reach the next breakthrough point.
The fingers she held around his shoulders were like ten hard iron hoops, but he seemed to feel no pain and just looked at her calmly. There was a persistence in his eyes that she couldn't understand. Finally, she suddenly realized that for the sake of the stability of the world, she approached him again and again, and there was a similar persistence in her eyes.
It was like an unbridgeable abyss that separated them. Even though their eyes were extremely similar, they could not convince each other.
"Does it have to be... like this?" There were tears in her eyes.
She finally realized the stubbornness and persistence of the man in front of her. The only way to stop him was to tell him that "the prophecy of the stone wall will cause the world to rewind", but she couldn't say this.
She put all the difficulties and hardships before him, and told him how terrible the ending would be. She made up lies to scare him away.
Her lies frightened even herself, such as "if you walk in front of the prophecy stone wall, you will be burned by fire and all the bones in your body will be burned", "you will suffer the pain of being pierced by thousands of needles and your spirit will be tortured"... But he just listened, with a calm face.
"I see." He said, "Thank you."
——Even such a terrible lie did not make him retreat. She saw that his eyes were still shining.
Chao Yan opened her mouth, but thousands of words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say another word.
——Her lies, her obstructions, and her attempts to win his favor, all failed to conquer him.
His persistence and strong vision were like a sharp knife between them. Even if she tried to hug him, it would only make her feel more painful.
So, this time, she still failed to stop him.
She slowly loosened her hand, like releasing a light butterfly kite. In front of the young man's expression that never changed, she laughed softly and low, with a hoarse laugh from her throat.
"I see."
“Still like this, still like this, still like this…hahaha, hahahaha…hahahahahaha…”
The young man looked at her in confusion. She knew that she was probably considered to be mentally ill. She laughed for no apparent reason, spoke in riddles for no apparent reason, and wove many lies for no apparent reason. Yes, she was a lunatic, a lunatic who did what she knew was impossible, a hated riddle man. Why did she have to endure so much pain to stay by his side? Why did she have to endure the pain of being burned by flames again and again to defeat the tentacle monster on the seashore for him?
How can a madman have so many reasons?
The madman only wants to save the world and cannot consider other rational reasons. So in people's eyes... the "madman" becomes a madman.
How can you ask a madman who only sees the world to behave perfectly, to give perfect advice, to make rational decisions?
Chao Yan covered her face and felt her cheeks getting hot.
——But when she looked up at this moment, the slowly rising morning glow she saw over his shoulder was so pure. Strands of light sprinkled on them, the horizon behind him jumped out of a bright color, and even his slightly curled black hair was curled with fluffy white edges.
The young man's eyelids were surrounded by the soft morning glow, and his slightly trembling eyelashes were like the wings of a butterfly. Even though there was confusion and bewilderment in his eyes, the depths of his pupils were bright.
"I'm sorry, Chao Yan." Even so, he still comforted her. He didn't know why she was laughing wildly, but he still comforted her.
She just covered her face with her hands to hide her smile which was about to turn into tears, madness, sadness, pain, despair.
She knew that he would fall into the abyss of reincarnation again.
She knew he would forget it all again.
He would never know that he has experienced three complete world rollbacks.
He also wouldn't know that he was about to start the fourth world rollback.
She smiled and hugged him, unable to stop her crazy grin, as if she had finally realized that she couldn't stop him.
Then she watched him go to the pure white holy city, like watching a butterfly with broken wings flying into the fire.
“Ha, hahahahaha…hahahahaha…”
An almost insane laugh sounded behind the young man.
The flames burn out, and the dream butterfly rotates in the Möbius strip.
