"It's beyond saving..."
"Can we finish now?"
"How long are you going to keep making a scene?"
"Cremation tomorrow..."
"Come back here!"
The setting sun cast its light on the edge of the window, and my parents' voices lingered in my ears, accompanied by the buzzing of the turning fan, like flies, impossible to shake off.
The sounds of chaotic sirens, angry shouts, harsh words, and weeping filled the air.
It lingered around me for a long time.
She couldn't remember many things; all she remembered was taking Jiang Si away.
Her parents cut off her financial support, so she worked hard during this time and saved some money.
I thought it would be very tough, because everyone said it was tough, but actually doing it wasn't as grueling as I had imagined.
She would work odd jobs during the day and return to Jiang Si's side at night to check on him, read those online novels to him, and then slowly fall asleep beside him.
Looking at his face when I wake up in the morning makes all the fatigue of the day disappear completely.
There are gains, expectations, and a future. I can do what I want to do and live a free and fulfilling life.
If this isn't happiness, then she doesn't know what else in this world is called happiness.
However, people kept telling her that this wasn't happiness, that there was no future for her.
I clearly haven't bothered anyone, nor have I depended on anyone.
Why can't we pursue what we perceive as happiness?
Everyone told her it was wrong, but she insisted on doing it anyway.
"Do you intend to live like this for the rest of your life?"
Wake up!
Her father asked her, "Can you really bear to take care of a dead person for the rest of your life, without any hope?"
Isn't that incredibly blissful?
Why would it be painful to take care of someone you love for a lifetime, to be with that person forever, and to have them always depend on you?
Just thinking about spending her whole life like this filled her with immense peace and contentment.
"You'll meet someone you like even more someday, you'll regret the youth you wasted, and one day you'll be unable to forgive yourself for who you are today..."
"But Dad."
Looking at her impassioned father, she simply said, "That's not who I am now."
"The me of now is the most important, isn't it? When I become what you describe, it means the me of now is dead, To Live is just another stranger. Why should I care about the thoughts of another stranger?"
"You're just too young, you'll meet someone better..."
"Father, do you still remember that doll from when you were little?"
She interrupted her father.
"You threw that old, worn-out doll in the trash. You always told me there would be better ones, and you bought so many more expensive and prettier dolls."
"But even now, my favorite is still that tattered doll from the very beginning. Although it may have been cheap and not particularly fancy or beautiful, I just like it."
I retrieved it from the trash can, washed it, used a needle and thread for the first time, sewed it up myself, and have kept it to this day.
That's just the kind of girl she is; once she likes something, she won't want to give it up, no matter how good other things are.
She only likes things that aren't particularly special.
It is the things she likes that are the most special in the world.
Dolls are like that, and so are lovers.
Why do you have to think of me? Why do you have to suffer for me? Why do you have to regret for me?
Aren't I right here myself?
I'm still To Live, aren't I?
Can't I still feel everything in this world?
Clearly, Jiang Si is the one who needs you to feel pain for him, regret for him, and think about him, right?
Clearly, he's the one suffering the most. He can no longer realize his dreams, no longer feel those emotions, and is now bedridden forever. What if he really regrets saving me?
Who will care about him? Who will care about someone who will never get up again?
Therefore, even if the whole world gives up, she will not give up.
Even if the whole world stops caring about him, Lu Ya will still feel pain for him, regret for him, and think about him.
They left the hospital with their lover, evading pursuit in order to better conceal themselves and transport their goods.
She dissected her lover's body herself.
She didn't find it ugly or disgusting; she felt every organ in her lover's body, even if it was just a small part.
Her love will not be divided; she can pour the same love into everything about her lover.
Sometimes, looking at those organs that have stopped functioning, I wonder how they operated inside the human body to sustain life. I marvel at the wonder of every part of the human body.
She always touched and cleaned her body carefully and patiently.
She pieced things together and stitched them back together many times, hoping to ensure a future meeting and reunion, and gradually grew to like the process.
It felt as if her lover was gradually returning to her, which made her somewhat obsessed.
But she is not mentally unstable.
Doing these things is just to make transportation easier; practicing packing is also because I'm afraid that one day I'll forget how to find my loved one.
Once she finds a safe place and reassembles her lover, she will never separate him again.
Actually, I was a little scared at first, when I opened my eyes and saw the internal organs of a human body right in front of me.
Sometimes when I have nightmares at night, and I open my eyes in the middle of the night to see these images, my heart skips a beat.
But later, after gradually accepting that these severed limbs and organs were part of my loved one, I finally came to understand that they were indeed part of my partner.
She would even put these cans on the bed and sleep inside her lover's.
It felt like being held and loved.
Later, this inadvertently scared away a good friend who was originally on good terms with him.
They kept moving, searching for a place where they could live a stable and long-term life.
And so, a long time passed in a busy yet fulfilling way.
She doesn't know when, but she suddenly heard someone say that it was possible to resurrect the dead.
She didn't have many thoughts at first, but because of her lover, she also read a lot of online novels, and she remembered a lot of the content. In online novels, it is not difficult for the dead to come back to life.
However, she never took it seriously, even though her lover would always earnestly discuss with her the authenticity and reliability of online novels.
But she never considered that these things had anything to do with her.
She was just a small girl accompanying her husband; whether she could dominate the ages or explore the ultimate truth, it was all unattainable for her.
However, upon hearing the news that the dead could be resurrected that day, she did have a slightly wicked thought.
I'm already happy enough.
I'm already very satisfied.
But she still had the urge to want more.
I want to talk to my lover, I want him to know our current relationship and status.
Once a small evil thought is born, it begins to spread uncontrollably.
I'm such a greedy and selfish girl.
Thinking this way, she ultimately couldn't resist pursuing the method that could bring the dead back to life.
In a daze, Lu Ya rubbed her temples.
Those memories, which she couldn't quite define as either unfamiliar or nostalgic, always left her feeling somewhat uneasy and restless.
Sometimes she can't tell whether she's in reality or in a fantasy.
Sometimes it makes her feel like she isn't herself.
Only after watching Shion and the Little Black Dragon fall into the jaws of the Calamity Beast did he finally reveal a relaxed smile.
That's right, that's exactly it.
He has been working tirelessly to revive Jiang Si until now.
In order to see him again, in order to say another word to him.
However, how could Jiang Si possibly have had any contact with a girl like that?
She was somewhat puzzled.
Because she had probably found out almost everything Jiang Si had experienced since birth, and she also had her mother who had taken care of Jiang Si since she was a child. Her mother had told her almost everything about Jiang Si's childhood.
Lu Ya even knew things like how many times Jiang Si had wet the bed as a child.
Later, when Jiang Si went to school, the only girl she came into contact with was herself.
Later, after being in a car accident and hospitalized, Jiang Si was always taken care of by Lu Ya, and no other girls approached her. Jiang Si never woke up.
It's impossible for him to have any relationship with other girls...
In the quiet, deserted World Bubble, Lu Ya, who had been drifting aimlessly, came back to her senses.
Then he squatted by the pit, cupped his face in his hands, and looked at the monster in the deep pit, which completely devoured the two girls.
For a long time, there was no reaction from the deep pit.
So, he sighed with some disappointment.
"Failed again..."
So he got up and walked towards the location of his former school.
After taking only a couple of steps, he stopped again, turned his head, and looked at the deep pit with some confusion.
Although it was very small, the vibration, transmitted from the soles of my feet, was incredibly clear.
Then, the tremors grew stronger and stronger until the whole world was shaking!
Lu Ya almost lost her balance and sat down on the ground with a thud, staring blankly at the deep pit.
Like a volcano, purple lava erupts from time to time.
The scalding purple lava was splashed onto the surrounding buildings, melting the surroundings like a highly corrosive substance, emitting wisps of blue smoke.
Although the deep pit was not in the city center, there were residential areas around it. Now, under the magnificent purple lava, the surrounding buildings were quickly turned into ruins.
The broken utility poles, pulling at the nearby power towers, creaked and groaned as they tilted. The already partially collapsed ruins continued to crumble a second time due to melting.
Lu Ya raised her hand slightly to shield herself from the smoke, dust, and flying debris. It took her quite a while to see the purple magic power continuously overflowing from the pit, and the Calamity Beast that had been hiding inside finally couldn't resist and crawled out.
It let out a piercing scream!
However, his body was already badly mangled, as if he had suffered inhuman torture.
The blood hadn't even flowed out before it was evaporated by the high temperature.
After the enormous Calamity Beast crawled outwards, its movements suddenly stopped.
His entire body continued to slide back into the deep pit.
Then Lu Ya witnessed an unbelievable scene.
It has always been Calamity Beast that drags people into deep pits and devours them.
It's frantically crawling towards the outside right now!
Countless claws and tentacles frantically clawed outwards, as if trying to grab onto something and escape.
On that terrifying, grotesque face, only fear remained, as if some great horror lay beneath the abyss. The screams that emanated from it were incredibly pitiful and miserable, and its tentacles and claws frantically scratched countless marks on the ground!
Then he kept screaming and shouting at her, as if begging for help.
However, no matter how much it struggled, the Calamity Beast was slowly dragged into the dark pit.
After a final, almost world-shaking wail, the Calamity Beast was finally swallowed completely by the deep pit...
No, that was originally its lair, so how did its lair turn around and devour it?
Lu Ya stood up somewhat blankly and staggered towards the deep pit, wanting to see what was going on.
A head suddenly flew out of the deep pit.
It then crashed down in front of her, almost causing Lu Ya to lose her balance.
Upon closer inspection, the head was indeed that of the Calamity Beast from before, its expression still contorted with fear, completely lifeless. Then, the purple-clad girl leaped out of the pit, carrying the unconscious Little Black Dragon Little Black Dragon her hand, gripping its tail, the Little Black Dragon swinging in her grasp like a pendulum.
That's how we got here.
Lu Ya subconsciously took a step back.
After Shion stomped on and crushed the head of the Calamity Beast in front of her, she took out the jar containing the head.
She stared at that face, remained silent for a moment, and then muttered to herself, "So this is where it is."
Lu Ya asked with difficulty, "Who exactly are you...?"
However, the girl in purple ignored her.
They didn't even glance at her.
It was like that from the very beginning, as if they treated her like she didn't exist, never truly taking her seriously. They casually picked up the jar from her body.
A jar containing the limbs of one's lover.
When Lu Ya tried to hug him tightly, she found that she couldn't hold on at all.
The other person easily took the jar from her hand.
Ignoring Lu Ya's fall, Shion pondered for a moment, as if she had figured something out. "So that's how it's set up?"
As her magic was continuously absorbed by the World Bubble, the World Bubble became more real, as if it were assuming its own identity, using its own magic to reshape itself—magic itself can [shape].
The World Bubble itself possessed a projection of " Jiang Si," though he was completely dead, leaving only the Shadow Trace of his corpse. However, when he truly entered, he posed a fatal threat to the World Bubble World Bubble, which, possessing the Shadow Trace, could no longer withstand the arrival of the original owner of the Shadow Trace.
Ultimately, just as she was about to burst and then perish, she triggered the rules of the world—actively activating her Personal Reality and transforming herself into a magical girl.
This was originally a power from the New World, a guiding, or rather, a forced magical girl transformation.
Does the world possess a self-will, even in World Bubble? As a trace of light and a reflection, it seems far too active. The World Bubble, borrowing its own position, began to change from its deepest trace.
These limbs and Lu Ya are the deepest trace in this World Bubble.
This is also its true core.
After obtaining these remains, it seems we can gain complete control over this World Bubble...
Thinking this, his gaze fell upon the girl who was trying hard to snatch the jar back.
The knife in his hand plunged in again, this time aimed at the throat, a vital spot.
This time, the knife broke in two.
Lu Ya tilted her head slightly, her expression somewhat blank.
"This World Bubble exists because of severed limbs," Shion gently grasped her neck, "And you too."
Her petite hands gripped her neck like a pair of pliers, tightly constricting her throat.
I can barely breathe.
"The more you acquire, the higher your privileges will be."
Therefore, a small knife was enough to break through the defenses of the Shion Demon Armor, who was not concerned about attacking.
But now, after Shion took all the jars she was carrying, the girl was once again reduced to an ordinary person without any power. "Give me back, Jiang Si..."
With saliva dripping onto the back of her hand, Lu Ya still tried to reach out and snatch back the jar that Shion had taken.
The magic burned, melting all the jars containing the severed limbs.
The World Bubble rules contained within were also re-condensed by Shion, and finally converged on a ring.
That was the wedding ring that had been on the finger of the severed limb.
Lu Ya's dark pupils almost melted.
Tears began to stream down her face, but she was still struggling to get the ring back.
Originally intending to strangle her, Shion discovered that the magical armor had naturally disappeared after melting all the severed limbs.
It's likely that Jiang Si's influence on the World Bubble disappeared after the remains, which were originally one of the core components, were lost.
The power of the World Bubble to force transformation disappears, and the magical girl's transformation is also canceled.
What a great World Bubble...
Lu Ya, who had been struggling to resist, suddenly fell silent.
" Jiang Si..."
The girl, still with tears in her eyes, suddenly revealed a relieved and relaxed smile.
"What?! This is a super successful resurrection...!"
Jiang Si felt a slight loss of strength in her fingers for some reason, but she didn't pay attention to it and just tightened her muscles slightly.
Just as he was about to snap the other person's neck, a dark shadow suddenly pounced on him.
However, before they could even get close, they were slapped to the ground.
The Little Black Dragon struggled on the ground, its face full of pleading, "Let go, boss, please!"
Jiang Si glanced at her sideways, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
"I really want to see you, Jiang Si."
Having gotten a brief respite, Lu Ya quietly said, "I wanted to talk to you, chat. I've read, lots and lots of online novels..." She doesn't like discussing online novels.
The first response she received made Lu Ya's eyes crinkle into beautiful crescent moons. "So you understand me so well, you've always remembered me. I feel so relieved now."
The Little Black Dragon tried desperately to crawl over, but Jiang Si only glanced at it and swatted it away.
" Jiang Si!"
This time, the Little Black Dragon, while rolling around, called out his name hysterically!
It's always the same.
Every single time!
That was all she could do, yell it out!
" Jiang Si!"
The girl in Jiang Si's arms showed no anger, no fear, and no struggle.
She simply gazed at him quietly, her pupils becoming slightly unfocused due to lack of oxygen, and drool starting to flow from the corners of her mouth, yet she remained quietly and intently watching him.
Until the very last moment, at the instant the Little Black Dragon pounced back, an unknown force and a sound emanated from somewhere.
Will you regret saving me?
Jiang Si turned her head away, her tone no different from when they last parted.
"Destiny or fate?"
The immortal venerable one regrets, but I do not!
I have no regrets whether I save him or kill him!
Lu Ya smiled with a mixture of nostalgia and relief, her smile radiant with sweetness.
Holding the hand that was gripping her neck tightly, she stroked it gently and greedily, placing the wedding ring on the back of his hand. "I love you the most..."
He tightened his grip again, cutting off the words.
Without looking at the girl who had lost her warmth and collapsed limply, Jiang Si casually tossed her aside.
The Little Black Dragon beside Lu Ya's corpse let out a piercing cry, howling at the sky.
However, the corpses soon disappeared and dispersed.
It was as if they had never existed.
Only a single point of light, swaying gently, flew into the ring.
The World Bubble swayed and gradually became transparent. Jiang Si looked up expressionlessly, and above him sat upright in the void.
Little Seven wagging its tail.
This is inside the Calamity Beast that devoured the World Bubble, filled with colorful, illusory World Bubble, like a universe interwoven with countless worlds. Only the Incubators could precisely deploy World Bubble here.
Little Seven slowly walked down:
"Mr. Jiang Si, Miss Shion, your lover is truly remarkable. Without the Witch Association's technology, nor any miracles or magic, immersed in such negative emotions and Filthy Magic Power that could overwhelm the world, she still managed to retain her memories... Even though it was just a projection of a World Bubble, it shows she has such aptitude, such potential..."
Jiang Si pulled out her pistol, aimed it at Little Seven, and simply asked, "Can you tell the difference?"
However, the Incubators merely tilted its head, unconcerned, with several World Bubble swirling around it. " World Bubble are projections, possibilities, and memories. If used properly, we can make World Bubble real."
"Your little bit of magic can make the World Bubble more real," the Incubators smiled, "But to turn it into reality, it still needs the rules and power of Full Bloom, so..."
"For your true love, and for the true Calamity Human Realm."
Little Seven said sincerely and cheerfully, "Please Full Bloom with us!"
"You're wrong, you fool."
Jiang Si shook his head. The World Bubble shrank until it became the size of a ball, which he held in his hand.
He casually pulled the trigger, and Little Seven's head exploded!
You can't tell the difference at all.
