[——〈Third runner〉——]
[——〈Tenth World·Su Wensheng〉——]
…
Heaven and earth are combined.
The red sun, which had been hanging in the sky for the entire afternoon, finally fell completely into the horizon.
All was quiet.
Between the alternation of the sun and the moon, the hustle and bustle of the day and the tranquility of the night reached a perfect balance at this moment. A blue full moon rose high in the sky, replacing the red sun and hanging high in the sky.
Su Ming'an held Su Wensheng's shoulders. He looked back and could no longer see the World Tree. Even Siber's figure soon disappeared.
“Huff, huff, huff—”
Su Wensheng held a staff in his hand, the emerald sparkled with light, and wisps of breeze flowed out, carrying the two of them forward.
Since the blue moon rose into the sky, the temperature has dropped sharply and the sky and the earth were covered with frost.
It seems as if the entire world has returned completely to the ancient ice age, with all things sleeping in the ice and frost, and the extreme cold at night contrasting with the extreme heat during the day.
Billions of lives are disappearing and sleeping, waiting for the next rebirth or the end of eternity.
The world has never been so quiet.
It was so quiet that the only sound was the quickening breeze from Su Wensheng's voice. The moonlight flowed like ice silk, falling on their shoulders.
Under the cold and silent moonlight, Su Mingan heard Su Wensheng humming.
"...You still have the energy to sing?" Su Mingan said.
"No, it is said that singing can activate multiple areas of the brain and refresh the mind. In the past, I almost fell asleep while studying, but I stood up and hummed a song, and I woke up." Su Wensheng thought for a while: "This is someone who taught me to sing when I was a child, but I don't remember who he was..."
"The person who taught you is called Li Mingyue. He is you...our godfather." Su Mingan said softly.
"Divorce...what?" Su Wensheng asked in confusion.
"Li Mingyue."
"What? I forgot again."
"Li Mingyue."
"…I'm sorry. Every time you mention it, I forget it. What's going on…"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Are you feeling okay?"
"I still have some mana left... Are you going to the edge of the world?"
"Yeah. I want to see what the end of the world is like, and I also want to find someone who can help me preserve my memories."
The wind is howling.
Su Mingan looked back and saw the flying snow and endless wasteland.
There was no sight of Su Lin's golden flames, nor Siber's fiery back. All that was visible was paleness.
"...By the way." Su Wensheng suddenly said: "Great Savior, although this is our first meeting, I know what happened between you and me. I read it in the textbook."
"That's not your life. You are just you. You are not any other Su Wensheng." Su Ming'an denied.
"Haha, it seems that what the textbooks say about your love of meal replacements is false. Isn't this a very clear distinction?" Su Wensheng laughed a few times.
“…Forget about this mess.”
"Great Savior, are you and those 'I's' good friends?"
"Friends... should be more like soulmates. There was a 'you', and we didn't even interact, and he's gone."
"Compared to them, do I seem a little mediocre?" Su Wensheng suddenly said.
Su Mingan glanced at Su Wensheng.
The wide wizard hat covered the upper half of Su Wensheng's face, revealing his short hair and pursed lips. Although his tone was always smiling, he did not seem to be calm inside.
His unwillingness to be mediocre is always engraved in his bones.
If he didn't want to be a powerless ordinary person, he would not have accepted the call and come to Rovatha.
"Why do you think so?" Su Mingan couldn't help but ask.
"Because the moment you found out my identity... there was disappointment in your eyes." Su Wensheng turned his head to look at him, with more and more ice on his cheeks:
"I think you would be happier if you met the other two of me."
"Compared to them, my experience is too shallow, and to you, it doesn't have the weight of the name 'Su Wensheng'. You should... want to meet them more."
"Whether it's on TV, in textbooks, or in history museums, the 'Su Wensheng' mentioned always refers to the two of them. One is the one who summoned the savior, and the other is the savior's assistant."
"And when people mention me, they always say 'the lucky child', 'the lucky one protected by other Su Wenshengs', 'I don't look like the Su Wensheng in history at all', 'the happiest and most ordinary one among ten thousand world lines'."
"Every time I read about their deeds, I am always fascinated... What a magnificent history it is. The fifty fire bearers who summoned the savior, the handover of the code under the Netherworld, the ark swimming across the Millennium Plan..."
"And me, I almost failed even the campus run."
He raised his head, and his pair of eyes as dark as stars met Su Mingan's.
But before Su Mingan could say anything, Su Wensheng suddenly laughed and said:
"Okay, sober now?"
Su Mingan squeezed out a sound from his throat: "...Hmm?"
"Since you are too sleepy, I told you something to wake you up. I don't mean to complain, I just want the great savior to remember me better... Look." Su Wensheng pointed to his right ear:
"Red and blue earrings, do they look good? I bought them as souvenirs at the Millennium Project Museum. They cost 228 yuan each. They are said to be high-precision replicas of Heart's Blood. As long as I wear these, I will be very unique."
"Besides, I am now protecting the Savior at the risk of my own life. This is no longer ordinary."
Su Mingan's words of comfort were stuck in his throat. After thinking about it, he realized that Su Wensheng really didn't need comfort.
