Final Chapter: Guarding the Shore [4] · "Where will I go?" (Thanks to the leader "Left Hand Cat")



"Well, that's fine with you. You have things you want to do, and you've never left your hometown." Xinghuo said:

"And I...I can no longer return home."

Su Liujin was surprised and asked, "Isn't Luowasha your hometown?"

Xinghuo shook his head: "My real hometown is in a very far away world. There is a blue-purple sky and a light source like a bright moon. The person I am loyal to is called Shengqi, my comrade is called Hui Shuhang, and my real name is Su Xinghuo, and I am a regular military mage."

His words stopped abruptly and he didn't say more.

Su Liujin asked curiously, "Can you tell me more?"

Xinghuo smiled, her porcelain-like cheeks were particularly pale and looked a little fragile:

“Like the protagonist of an adventure story, I experienced many adventures between life and death and became a higher dimension.”

"After becoming a high-dimensional being, I could never go back. I came into contact with the world game halfway through and became the fifth seat of the organizer. Many times, I looked at my hometown from afar, but could only wander alone."

"I had a friend before, he was very good, but later he passed away. So my only wish became: I want to help people like him, regardless of the cost, at all costs. I have nothing left, and I hope this behavior can bring a little peace to my exhausted heart."

"Maybe." He lowered his head and smiled:

"I am the only one in the higher dimension who does not seek any interests. The outliers in the higher dimension do not seek compatriots or interests, but only the tombstone in their hearts."

Su Liujin listened silently. In just a few short words, he could hear so much heaviness.

"So, what are you going to do next?" Su Liujin said softly.

"I can't stay here for too long. When the players come, I should go back to the cage in the world game." Xinghuo said, "What about you?"

"I...I..." Su Liujin lowered his head.

A few days ago, when he resigned from his mission as observer to the World Tree and returned to Chengfo Town, the white-haired Li Yuqing was already lying on the bed, having stopped breathing.

"Qing Niang! Qing Niang!"

It was a rainy night, and a hurried white-haired boy wearing a bamboo hat, a straw raincoat, and rain boots came back with a lunch box filled with delicious and warm dishes. He watched the sleeping old man quietly through the window bars, and a copper wind chime under the eaves kept shaking.

The old woman had a smile on her face and was holding a box of milk cake in her arms, as if it was all she had.

Like a person walking at night without seeing the bright moon.

He dug out a red silk handkerchief from under the house. It was the one she had held when she was a young bride. It had a small portrait of him embroidered on it. It was the image of him when he first saved her, with a rouge-stained chin and scratches on his chest, a handsome young man indeed.

After wolfing down the milk cake, he buried Li Yuqing and went to the former sacred mountain, royal city, storytelling stall... but found that everything had changed and the people he once knew were no longer there, either having died in the war or due to old age.

"When I wanted to save them, I couldn't do it. When I could save them, they were gone." Su Liujin stared at the sea silently and said slowly: "I want to rest for a while. I want to live in seclusion in the sea."

He didn't know who to save, let alone how to be a "Great Sage". No one taught him anymore, they were all gone.

He is tired and he wants to rest.

"That's right, you've been traveling for too long, you should rest for a while..." said Xinghuo.

Su Mingan watched the figures of the two people gradually fade away.

This is a memory from a long, long time ago, it is the earliest memory of Su Liujin.

The next scene that came into view was the vast ocean with a jellyfish swimming around in the ocean.

A blond young man steered a boat, caught the jellyfish, and said, "No more jade, I'll take you to chop down the World Tree, okay?"

The blond young man said that Luo Vasha had changed a lot recently and many problems had occurred.

The retired emperor was gradually persuaded to leave his secluded sea.

Later it seemed to be a known fact - the Emperor entered the Zeroth Disciple Game.

At this point, Su Mingan had a complete understanding of Su Liujin's life on the surface.

Su Mingan continued to move forward, wanting to see more people’s dreams.

He found that the scene of his dream had changed and turned into a gloomy castle.

Sixteen figures shrouded in black mist were tasting the dishes on the table.

Su Mingan's gaze subconsciously fixed on one of the people - this person was also covered in black fog, with a plate of sugar-coated tomatoes in front of him.

As if he noticed being watched, the man raised his head, glanced at Su Mingan, and then lowered his head again.

This scene quickly shattered and turned into bizarre colors.

"What a strange scene... The dream is really weird and illogical..." Su Ming'an didn't see any useful information and continued to move forward.

He saw the dreams of many people, most of which were chaotic and without any information.

“Delicious, slurp slurp…” This is Yamada Machi showing off his braised spareribs.

“Can the buyers who have received refunds please just die? It’s so annoying!” This is Lin Yin selling second-hand Hanfu and peripherals, with her hair messed up.

"Going to work...going to work..." This is Lun Xue sitting in front of the computer desk with a confused look in her eyes. It turns out that she was working even in her dreams.

"zzz..." Beiwang was actually sleeping in a dream. This person's sleep within sleep was truly divine.

“……” This is Lu playing with a stuffed teddy bear quietly. This seems to be his childhood. He sits in the corner, playing with the stuffed toy alone, with some blood stains on his cuffs.

Su Mingan realized that the dream was too chaotic, and when he was about to find a way to leave, he drove into a brilliant sunflower garden.
