Noel pulled the brim of his hat very low, revealing only the corners of his mouth, smiling as always.
He spread out his right hand, and in his hand was a castle of building blocks.
The red, blue and yellow blocks were put together like a child's jigsaw puzzle, with bright colors. He stared at the small castle and said with a smile:
"... Let's bet on whether you can overturn the building block castle in my hand."
Su Mingan looked at him in confusion.
Noel kept his hat down, making it difficult to see his eyes:
"The seventh organizer, Yuritilola, promised me that she has a way to help me ascend to a higher dimension, and all I need to do is to do what I can."
"The Lord of the End of All Things promised me that He has observed Rovasha for many years and has mastered the ability to 'write'. If I have this ability, I can freely write the ideal new world and make it real."
"Ascend to a higher dimension and a new world."
"These two goals I pursue are now completely clear. Maybe your end point is still some distance away. But for me, I have already reached the end point."
Su Mingan listened quietly.
Transparent fish swam around them, casting dots of fluorescent light.
Noel's voice remained calm, as if he was describing something very ordinary. Su Mingan could also feel his own heartbeat through the puppet thread in his hand.
Very peaceful.
They were all very calm.
It was like they saw a destination that had been visible to the naked eye for a long time, finally approaching them. It was like a fork in the road that they had expected for a long time, finally passing by their feet.
There is a prerequisite, which they were very clear about from the very beginning when they first met, from the first time they cooperated, and from the beginning to the end - the relationship between them is a partnership, they become friends and fight side by side in order to realize their respective ideals.
However, the diametrically opposed ideals meant that their souls were destined to meet only briefly, and eventually go their separate ways.
The sky and the earth, the flying birds and the swimming fish.
From the beginning, they knew in their hearts that the sword of Damocles was destined to fall. From the moment they met, they knew that there would be a day of separation.
No one would compromise themselves or abandon their ideals because of the other person. So now that he has found his ideal destination, it is natural that Noel will leave decisively.
Su Mingan also accepted this day calmly.
——But why, when the facts were clearly laid out before him and the destined moment of separation arrived, did he still feel hesitant and incredulous?
Just like the moment when he saw the red tip of Noel's knife falling towards the sleeping demon Su Ming'an, Su Ming'an still felt unreal. He felt that Noel was not the kind of person who would hurt his best friend for his ideals, maybe there was something hidden, he tried to judge whether there was something hidden in Noel's eyes, but the brim of his hat was too low, he could only see the blue rose blooming on the brim of his hat.
So he said:
"...the initial contract in the amusement park, taking us to the sky of the Lord God's World, making wishes together in the hot springs before New Year's Day, eating cake, hanging up wishing papers, and the promises made in the ruins world, watching the collective wedding, giving us a dazzling fireworks display, hunting ducks and geese together in the villa, making dumplings, and pasting Spring Festival couplets...are all these fake?"
"Noel Akinni?"
"Is this...'love' for us fake?"
He recounted the events in his past that left vivid memories, trying to find some evidence for the answer.
Noel still held down the brim of his hat, the black water surged between them, and the libraries stood layer upon layer like huge dark mountains.
After a moment, Su Mingan heard Noel's soft voice:
“…It’s true.”
It's true.
Su Mingan's pupils dilated slightly.
Then, Noel said the next sentence:
"And now... it's also true."
A firm bell seemed to ring in Su Mingan's ears.
It's all true.
Close friends are real, cooperation is real, anchors are real, bonds are real… leaving is also real.
Noel once sacrificed himself for him and accepted the investigation of the organizer in the Ninth World on his behalf. That was because Noel's way to realize his ideal at that time was to tie himself to his warship. Only if he was alive, Noel's ideal would have hope.
He had saved Noel from danger more than once, and Noel had also helped him more than once in desperate situations... They had cooperated and helped each other countless times, until today, Noel finally found a way to realize his ideal. So, Noel untied the shackles.
If Noel gave up his ideal for him, it would make the adventurer pale in comparison. He is independent, and Noel also has his own independent personality.
The blond boy bloomed on his path like a spring flower, but the harmonious yet different souls would eventually separate.
"clatter."
The black water is turbulent.
Su Ming'an took a step forward and saw the shadow behind Noel. It was a child wearing purple grapes and olive leaves on his head, and his body was made up of hearts, spades, clubs and diamond cards.
——So far, Noel has already established contact with three higher dimensions: the seventh seat of the organizer, the Lord of the End of All Things, and the Overlapping Shadow.
If Noel summoned the Seventh Seat here, not only would he be able to invade Si Que's dream, but Su Ming'an's safety would also be threatened. And all this depended on Noel's thoughts.
"So are you going to do this? Summon Gao Wei and attack me?" Su Ming'an took another step forward, his fingers slightly bent.
His spatial vibration can also kill Noel instantly.
Now, they were like holding nuclear weapons that could kill each other. Whoever moved first would be safe. But no one moved first, as if they were staring at each other through a thin glass.
