Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 607 The Escape Plan

Facing her pair of children, Lan couldn't say what she had prepared for a long time.

This world is too real, which is why it is hard to give up.

It was only two short nights in the real world, but she had already spent two full years here.Two years, even a determined person is enough to be nostalgic for this place.

"You two, don't pester mother like this!"

Seeing Lan's embarrassment, the prince stepped forward and pulled the two children away, then looked up at Lan, and asked softly, "Why, Asuo, what did you want to say just now?"

"I……"

Lan's lips trembled a little, and the three people she loved most in front of her were all looking at her eagerly, waiting for her answer. For a moment, she even felt that the resolution she had finally made was about to be forcibly changed.

Lan hastily closed her eyes, and the scenes of the real world, the drunken people around her, and the trusting look that Kong Zhe left her at the end appeared in her mind.

After a while, she let out a breath and opened her eyes again.

"Sorry, I have to leave... Today I came to say goodbye!"

Lan said this with a firm tone.

The prince looked at Lan silently, Lan did not flinch this time, and chose to meet his gaze.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes."

"Even if you abandon your family?"

"..."

Lan finally looked away first, but the voice still did not hesitate: "I still have my own mission, so I have to leave."

There was silence between the two again, until after a while, the prince sighed slightly.

"It seems that you have already decided..."

From Lan's eyes, he could see the determination. Today she just came to announce the decision, not to discuss with them.

"Now, what's 'goodbye'?"

The little girl felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, she couldn't help looking at the two of them, and asked while pointing her chin.

The prince didn't answer her question, but patted her head and said with a smile, "Lian'er, take my brother to play indoors. Your mother and I have something to talk about."

"Ugh?"

The little girl was a little reluctant, but seeing her parents were serious, she nodded, walked over and grabbed her brother and ran away.

Before the two children entered the room, they looked back at Yanlan's direction, waved to her with a playful smile, and said something with their lips wriggling, but the sound could not be heard from too far away.

Seeing this scene, Lan burst into tears again.

In her sight, the world further away gradually began to blur and become pure white.

As she decides to leave, her dream world finally begins to crumble.

This blurred scene slowly spread, and soon covered the two children, and their figures completely disappeared in front of their eyes.

Lan just felt her heart tremble more and more, and the thought of repentance rose again in her heart.She hastily closed her eyes, and kept reminding herself that they were not real, they were just images created by her thoughts...

"Don't think about it anymore?"

The prince's voice suddenly rang in her ears, interrupting her thoughts. When she opened her eyes, he had already walked beside her, almost face to face.

Lan's heart skipped a beat again.

When her hand was held again, the warm feeling made her wonder, is such a real feeling really imagined?

"As long as you want, our family can live together forever. There is no need to doubt anything. This is the real world."

The prince's words are very deceptive: "Think carefully, in fact, you know very well in your heart that it doesn't matter even if the external body disappears. After disappearing, you can live in this world forever. Isn't this what you most expect? "

Because it was her dream, every word she said hit her weak point directly, and Lan's heart became more and more shaken.

Yes, she knew very well in her heart that even if her life force was exhausted in the real world, her spirit would not disappear, but instead she would perpetually indulge in her dreams.

This is already understood when eating the fruit for the first time.This is why human beings who eat the fruit will not feel a sense of crisis at all, because what happens next is exactly what they most expect to happen in their hearts. Human beings are creatures that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. What about the best world in itself?

"Stay here, Asuo, I need you, and the two children also need their mother..."

The voice of the prince is still coming, and the speed of the collapse of the world around Lanshen is getting slower and slower.Looking at this scene, Lan felt more and more hesitation in her heart.

"...It's very simple, Asuo, as long as you nod your head, our world will be restored immediately..."

The prince's voice was getting closer and closer, and it almost sounded in her mind.

"I can not……"

Just when Lan was about to fall, she suddenly yelled, and the voice in her head stopped abruptly.

"Sorry, I have to leave..."

Lan bowed his head, and said with some dejection.

And as her voice came out, the surrounding scenery began to fade again.

"I have my own mission..."

The real His Highness is still in danger, this is the strongest bond in her heart to the outside world.No matter how attractive the life here is, she will never be able to stay here safely.

"Is that so..."

The prince couldn't help smiling wryly, took a step back slightly, and didn't urge her any more.

Having done this, Asuo still refused, and he has fully demonstrated his determination.

But the prince didn't give up yet, there was one last thing he wanted to do.

"Asuo, is what you say now really your sincerity?"

"certainly……"

Lan looked up with some doubts, the prince smiled softly, and suddenly reached out his hand towards her cheek.

Lan didn't avoid it, even if she had decided to leave, the person in front of her was her closest person, and she had no reason to avoid it.

The prince's hand touched the other half of her mask.

"Since you entered this world, you have always had this half mask on your face..."

Lan suddenly noticed that the prince's voice had changed into a slender female voice. When she looked up again, she realized that it was not the prince standing in front of her, but herself.

For the first time, Lan saw her appearance from an outsider's perspective, also covered with a butterfly mask, also showing half of her beautiful cheeks.

At this moment, the two moved in unison, both stretched out their right hands to cover half of the other's mask, and even their voices began to come out in sync.

"Who are you?"

Lan couldn't help asking, but the other party also spoke at the same time, saying exactly the same thing.

"I'm Asuo..."

The other party answered, and the voice came from his own mouth.

Lan was stunned, she was Asuo, so who was she?

A name naturally popped up in her heart: Lan.

This is what Kong Zhe has always called her.After three months, she has gotten used to the name.

Now that the other party has Asuo's name, she can only subconsciously live by Lan.

Asuo and Lan, these two names represent the same person, but they don't have the same meaning, which is blocked by the distance between the past life and this life.

She herself is always herself, but because of the different people who call her, she is also divided into two individuals invisibly.

and many more……

Lan suddenly felt that something was wrong, why did she have the idea of ​​'the person calling her different'?
Regardless of whether it is the prince or Kong Zhe, they are clearly the same person, but they have gone through reincarnation and temporarily lost their memory. In her heart, these two people should always have only one title——His Royal Highness.

"Not the same..."

"what?"

Lan asked back, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in her heart.

"The prince and Kong Zhe are not the same in your heart."

"how come?"

"I am you, so I can understand. What Asuo wants to see most is her childhood sweetheart, His Royal Highness, the prince of the blood clan. The two have experienced 500 years together. How can it be that in just three months on earth? replaceable."

"No... not right!"

Lan immediately retorted: "You are changing concepts secretly. The prince and Kong Zhe are always the same person in my heart, and there is no difference in my loyalty to them!"

"Oh? Then do you dare to take a look?"

Asuo suddenly smiled: "No matter how unwilling you are to admit it, your subconscious mind can't deceive anyone..."

Asuo's hand lightly touching the mask gradually began to exert force, and because the two moved in unison, Lan also began to take off the other's mask.

"From the first day you entered here, your appearance has been restored. You hoped to let His Highness see your true appearance, but you still chose to wear half of the mask. This is the way you left for yourself, because You still remember things in the real world, and you are afraid that you will sink here, so you want to use the scar on the other side of your face as a reminder that you are not from this world."

The other party's voice continued, and Lan felt more and more uneasy.

"At that time, you must have been concerned about the outside world, but what you saw here was the Highness you really wanted to see in your heart, and you gradually discovered that he was different from the person outside."

"Two years have passed, and many thoughts will change. This mask has been worn on your face and has never been taken off, so even you don't know it. The mask full of scars is hidden inside. Has your face changed? Then, before you make a decision, why not take off your mask and see if your thoughts are still as firm as before?"

Asuo smiled confidently, and slowly removed the mask aside.

Lan wanted to stop this scene. The more confident the other party was, the less confident she was, because the two were the same person, or in other words, the other party actually knew herself better than she did.However, at this moment, she could no longer control her body, and her hands were slowly taking off the opponent's mask.

She quickly saw clearly that what was hidden under the mask of the other party was a smooth and tender face, which was exactly the same as the face on the other side.

What does this represent?
Has my mind really changed...
