——Su Mingan withdrew his hand and did not touch the photo.
It seemed as if one could hear the sound of something breaking, and the yellow woods were divided into forward and backward directions.
He turned and walked towards the coast.
The young man with white hair and golden eyes looked at him calmly, without trying to stop him or calling him. He just made a "click" and gently closed the mahogany box in his hand.
The ocean was burning with the fiery afterglow, burning on the surface of the ocean that reflected the world. The wind was a little warmer, almost like the first breeze of spring.
The reflection was stretched out.
Wow, wow, wow.
The waves are still surging like flowers.
"Well, it doesn't matter. Choose the path you think has the highest chance of winning. It doesn't matter if you turn around and leave." The young man smiled and said:
"It is not necessary to tie you to my warship and ask you to dig up my past. Even if you continue digging, there may be no good results."
"But if you choose to turn around and leave, it means that your limit is stuck here. You will no longer have new possibilities. No matter how good your ending is, it will just be to be promoted to a higher dimension. You will not be able to return home, and you can only guard your small world all day long. Can you accept this bad ending?"
Su Mingan did not stop.
He continued walking in the endless waves, never looking back once.
"Bad ending?" He shook his head and responded simply: "This is a good ending."
He gazed at the golden beach under the setting sun, his dark eyes were like glass, reflecting a light golden color.
For a moment, he did have the urge to touch the photos in the box and explore more stories, but his eyes accidentally glanced at the time ring and mechanical ring on his fingertips, and glanced at the names engraved on them.
Just a glance made him stop moving forward.
In order to get to this point, too many people have fallen in the dark night before dawn. If something goes wrong in pursuit of a better ending, everything will be ruined.
He thought of the conversation between Liming and Xike, and what they said: reality or fairy tale.
Is it a reality with regrets, or a perfect fairy tale?
Reality is common, fairy tales are hard to come by. He has come to this day, and finally grasped reality. Now a fairy tale is in front of him, and he has to travel through mountains and seas to touch it. He turned his head and looked at the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas that have been built, and turned away.
Even so, his best outcome is to become a god, but this is already the happiness for most people.
Su Mingan placed his palm on his chest, the two rings on his index and middle fingers glowing golden in the sunset:
"I've heard Xinghuo say: [HE, BE, TE are just endings relative to each individual, but for a saved world, for all the people who are alive in the world, this is the eternal HE.]"
"What I want is just a happy ending in this sense. So I gradually understood why Xie Lude's ending was a happy ending. I also understood why death was also a happy ending for Feng Chang. I didn't quite understand it before, because I never thought that I would also have my own 'end'."
"But now that I've become 'them,' I finally understand."
He turned his head and looked at the white-haired boy in the sea.
In the setting sun, the figure of the white-haired boy seemed a little lonely. He held the closed mahogany box silently, with a cracked mask hanging around his waist, like a child abandoned in a corner of the world.
Su Mingan curved his eyebrows.
“——It turns out that when faced with the so-called happy ending, we actually laugh instead of crying.”
Click.
The mahogany box fell into the sea.
Su Liujin's expression paused for a moment, and then a pure smile slowly appeared on his face.
He and Su Mingan are completely different people, but they are surprisingly similar in some ways.
How long had he slept and waited in this sea without people or candy? Finally, he waited for someone who could take him out and help him pursue his old memories. However, he did not beg like he was clinging to a straw, but respected the other party's wishes, so that the success rate of redemption in this world would be higher.
So, he chose to laugh instead of crying.
Even if I am left where I am, even if I live in this world as a person with nothing.
When they became "them", they finally understood some things: why they could go against their instincts, why humans were different from other animals, and why they smiled instead of crying at certain moments.
"I'm sorry, Liu Jin. I can't participate in your story anymore." Su Ming'an clenched his fists. The hard touch of the ring made his voice more firm:
"I have seen the final path. Even though it is not a perfect ending, for the sake of final victory, I have decided not to take any more risks."
"Perhaps, if my heart beats half a beat faster, if the wind at the beach is warmer, if my blood flows faster, my palm will fall down, touch the photo, and follow you forward."
"I have held on to the most naive idealism for a long time. Now, the ideal has become a reality..."
The fiery red sun gradually set, and the shadows of the two fell on the snow-like waves, like a sharp sword gradually being sheathed.
He had been wandering in this dream called "World Game" for too long... so long that he almost forgot his own name, his hobbies, his sensibility, his softness...
It's time to end this dream of a 19-year-old young man.
No matter how long a journey is, it will eventually come to an end. No matter how many stories there are, they will eventually stop.
He turned around and didn't look back.
