I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1172 The Fantasy Returner
"Dad...why are you here?"

"Am I dead?"

"Is this hell?"

Lin Xiaotian's voice was already tearful. His psychological defenses had collapsed when he saw the strange phenomenon in the sky. Now his long-dead "Dad" suddenly appeared in front of him again. He felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw and kept asking "Dad" questions.

"Dad, what's wrong with this world?"

"I am afraid."

"I want to go home."

"..."

The eyes in the sky evoked the worst fear in his heart. At this moment, he almost let go of all the composure of an adult and turned back into a naive child, hugging his father and crying.

His father still didn't answer, but just drove the motorcycle steadily around the acid pits.

This is exactly the same image of the "father" that Lin Xiaotian has always imagined in his heart: steady, strong inside, and full of power... Almost every moment, the man in front of him would overlap with the fantasy in his heart. Although the other party did not answer, Lin Xiaotian was already certain that this was his "father".

She appeared at the most critical moment, saved him, and took him away from this strange town.

This is a scene that only appears in his dreams.

Lin Xiaotian had thought more than once what his father would be like if he were still alive, and now he actually "saw" it.

The wish came true!
From childhood to adulthood, the image of his father has been very complete. His father is a disaster relief hero and a superman who saves the world. Although he passed away early, he has always been the "backbone" of the family, and every family member takes his father as a role model.

"dad."

He called out again, and even though the wind whistled past his ears, masking most of the sound, he was sure the man had heard him, and heard him loud and clear.

"I miss you so much, Dad..."

"Why do you show up at this time?"

“Is the world falling apart?”

"Why don't you come back earlier? That way you can stay with us longer."

Lin Xiaotian knew clearly that the world had become a mess, order was collapsing, and life was withering, but he was still deceiving himself in his heart that the world could still be saved.

There are many people like him. Most of the members of the disaster relief team joined the team because they still hold the idea that "there is still hope for the world" and want to contribute a little to this world that has not yet ended.

If he was a desperate person, he would have been lying at home waiting to die.

After Lin Xiaotian asked countless questions, the man on the motorcycle finally replied with the first sentence:

"Is your mother okay?"

After hearing these words, Lin Xiaotian's eyes lit up instantly.

It’s dad indeed!
If he wasn’t my dad, I wouldn’t ask this question. This sentence explains it all!
After getting a response, Lin Xiaotian felt a little embarrassed. He had not figured out how to talk to this "lost and found" relative.

After thinking for a moment, he finally prepared the appropriate words.

"She's fine... She might be a little worried because I recently joined the disaster relief team. My second sister said that she often has no appetite and stops eating halfway through..." Lin Xiaotian carefully recounted his mother's recent situation while observing the man's expression through the rearview mirror.

A hint of tenderness appeared on the man's face, and a hint of worry appeared when he heard that his mother had no appetite.

After Lin Xiaotian finished speaking, the man whispered: "She has always been like this, not caring about herself, worrying about other people's affairs every day, which is very awkward."

"Dad, don't you ask about my brother and sister and my situation?"

"What's there to ask? You are not important."

"..."

Dad is just like what Mom said, he doesn't care about his children at all. The image in my memory overlapped with the one in front of me again, becoming more vivid.

"Dad, why did you come back?"

"Maybe you wanted me to come back, so I came back." The man replied indifferently, driving the motorcycle gracefully over a big pit.

Is it just because we want to? Is it because the world is about to end that God will fulfill everyone's wishes?
Lin Xiaotian raised his head again and looked into the deep eyes in the sky.

"Did God fulfill my wish? Can God save the world?" he murmured.

The man heard his mumbling and rushed back to his senses.

"God can't save us," the man said seriously.

"Didn't it bring you back? Saving the world should be easy, right?"

"It wasn't it that made me come back, it was you... I came back because you missed me." The man repeated again.

"But I can't just imagine you coming back, right? There has to be something to help me fulfill my wish."

"You are an adult, why are you still so childish? There is no such thing as something that can make wishes come true. The realization of wishes can only rely on ourselves."

"But... isn't it childish to realize a wish just by imagining it?"

Lin Xiaotian said stubbornly, insisting on arguing out a result, but the man ignored him and drove the motorcycle by himself, speeding up again.

The eyes in the sky were still staring at the earth. Lin Xiaotian always felt that those eyes were staring at him. Not only that, the hair-like clouds and the skin-like sky were also approaching him, as if the "God" in the sky was about to "kiss" the world.

Lin Xiaotian has a premonition that when "God" really kisses the world, this world will come to an end.

"Dad, what is that thing in the sky?"

"Like me, it's something that doesn't belong to this world."

"Is it also imagined?" Lin Xiaotian thought for a while and asked.

"Well, humans are all imagining what the end of the world will look like. Some people wish for the end of the world to come as soon as possible, so the end of the world has become concrete, and that thing in the sky is it."

"Is there anyone else who has this wish?" Lin Xiaotian asked in disbelief.

"Of course there are. Many people think, 'It's already like this, let's just end the world.'"

"How despicable, these people..."

"No way. You can't control other people's thoughts. When despair takes over your heart, it's only natural that it will become like this."

"Dad, if it's true as you said, that wishes can be fulfilled just by imagination, then if all humans want the world to be saved, can the world really be saved? Can this common wish of mankind really be realized?"

"Of course, as long as we want to, but this is the most idealistic situation. Most humans don't have the desire to save the world. They just want to survive. Not to mention that there are many humans who want the world to be destroyed as soon as possible... Humans will never be able to achieve true unity, and their wishes will never be able to become a group."

Lin Xiaotian listened and fell into deep thought. After a while, he continued, "We don't need to unite everyone, just most people will be united... We don't need everyone to become firewood of hope, just most people will be firewood."

……

"Dad, let's go back to the church."

"What are you going back for?"

"Let's have everyone in the church 'imagine' with us."

"The 'imagination' of such a small number of people cannot save the world."

“No, not imagining saving the world, but imagining… making our voices heard by all of humanity.”
