I loaded the dream game

"Um...what's wrong?"

As if she also sensed the strange changes around her, Nogi Sonoko woke up from her sleep, raised her head and looked around, her eyes wide open in surprise.

...Huh? I just took a nap, what happened?

"Oh, it looks like you guys are in trouble."

Kuang San retracted her gaze, chuckled, and greeted the two of them.

"Well, let's leave the rest for next time. I look forward to meeting you again, God~"

As she spoke, she smiled and waved to Xia Zhi, then let her figure be shrouded in shadow and disappeared.

"..."

Watching the girl's disappearing back, Xia Zhi turned around and looked into the distance, frowning slightly...

.......

Chapter 937: The Girl Doesn’t Want to Protect the World

“Hehe, ha…ha…”

Dongxiang walked in the corridor of the hotel with disorderly steps, stumbled accidentally, and stood up again by leaning against the wall. He held his forehead with one hand and breathed heavily.

Her mind is in a mess now and she can hardly think normally.

As Yuanzi talked about the past, she gradually recalled the things she had forgotten in the past.

I gradually recalled how hard they had tried to save the child.

...and how it failed again and again in the end.

Those scenes of effort, struggle, failure, and destruction...

Along with the messy fragments of memory, they kept emerging in her mind and appeared in front of her eyes.

"don't want……"

She covered her right eye, as if trying to stop these cruel images from appearing, but it was no use.

Repeat again and again, fail again and again

Every time I failed, I would see the child's body falling in front of me.

The grief, regret, despair, and powerlessness almost made her unable to breathe.

Now Togo finally understood that the deep despair he had felt from his past self in the dream was not just about not being able to defeat the enemy.

Rather, despair towards this world...

This world without a future, full of despair...

"Togo?"

Just then, a familiar girl's voice came from her ear, interrupting her thoughts.

Dongxiang was startled, looked up, and met a pair of red eyes full of worry.

"Are you okay? You look so bad..."

"...I'm fine."

Dong Xiang took a deep breath, shook his head, and forced a smile: "It's just that I remembered something..."

"Really? That's great!"

Yuuki Yuna smiled happily, feeling happy that the girl's memory had been restored.

But then she reacted quickly.

"Ah, let me help you go and rest first."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and supported the girl, wanting to take her to find a place to sit down.

"...Yuuna, you got up really early today."

"Hey, actually I came out to use the restroom."

Yuuki Yuna said this a little embarrassedly, and then continued:

"As for you, Tou Xiang, if you are not feeling well, don't try to be brave. Besides, your legs haven't fully recovered yet."

"If you have any problem, just call me."

Hearing the girl's caring words, Dongxiang said "hmm" softly, fell silent and said nothing more.

Until Yuna helped him to the nearest restaurant and sat down.

"Well, Dongxiang, wait a moment. I'll go get you a cup of hot milk."

Looking at the girl who was about to turn around and go to the kitchen, Tou Xiang finally shouted

"Youna."

"Huh?" Youna turned around and looked at her in confusion.

"What is the duty of a hero?"

"Well... defeat the threatening enemies, protect everyone's happiness, bring smiles to everyone... something like that?" Yuna thought for a moment and answered.

"Is it necessary to do this?" Dongxiang asked.

"Because he's a hero."

"What if... it's impossible to do it?"

Younai seemed to hear the anxiety in her words and comforted her.

"It's okay, there will always be a way!"

"What if there is no such solution?"

"Then I will do my best!" The girl's voice was full of determination: "The second and fifth clauses of the Brave Division, try not to give up, and you will succeed if you work hard!"

"As long as you work hard, there will be a way!"

Hearing her firm words, Tou Xiang fell silent again.

...Yeah, Yuna is always like this.

Because of her personality, it is almost certain that she will never give up even if she faces an unbeatable enemy or an irreversible desperate situation.

But in this world without a future, no matter how hard you try, it's useless

One day, the world will become like that hell.

By then, Touna... Sonoko... and everyone else...

Dongxiang felt a pain in his heart and couldn't help but grab his chest tightly.

"Woo...Woo..."

She bit her lips tightly and moaned in pain, but she didn't dare let the girl over there hear her.

Recalling the memories of the repeated rescues and failures, I could only helplessly watch my important friend fall on my body.

It is such a painful thing, but for the possibility and hope of salvation, we have to go through it again and again.

Dongxiang felt that his spirit had probably collapsed since then.

I am not as strong as Sonoko, I knew that in the past. I can't be like her, even with such an experience, I can persist alone until now, and still maintain my original innocent character.

So it's better to say that losing that memory actually saved myself.

Now, as she recalls this memory, is she broken?

Tou Xiang doesn't know, she only knows that Yuna is her salvation

If I let Yuna and everyone else experience something like that

I want Yuna to end up like that...

She doesn't want that kind of thing.

Dongxiang pursed his lips, slowly loosened his hand that was holding his collar, and glanced at the girl's back in the kitchen again.

As if she had made a decision, she picked up her phone and left the room...

……

Standing on the top of the towering wall, Dongxiang took a deep breath and condensed his weapon from the void.

The next moment, she felt that everything around her had come to a standstill. The originally gentle sounds of the wind and the waves suddenly stopped, and the world fell into silence.

Dongxiang is no stranger to such situations. Every time the sacred tree unfolds its sea of ​​trees barrier, the world will fall into a state of time standing still.

This also means...the sacred tree has already noticed her actions.

There is not much time left.

Dongxiang thought to himself, tightened his grip on the sniper rifle, pointed the muzzle at the wall not far away, and his body trembled slightly.

Why do we have to endure this?

Because they are brave.

Well, as long as we are no longer heroes, we won't have to bear such a fate anymore, right?

Dongxiang knew that he was definitely broken for wanting to do such a thing.

But if we can free everyone from this world that is destined to become hell,

She thought this in her heart, and gradually tightened her finger on the trigger.

At this moment, a hand reached out from the side and grabbed her gun.

"I don't advise you to do this."

At the same time, the voice of a young man came to my ears.

Dongxiang was slightly stunned, looking at the boy who appeared in front of him without knowing when, and blinked blankly.

"teacher……?"

"You also know that I am your teacher?"

Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly, looked into her eyes and asked:

"So... did you report to the teacher for leaving the team without permission, Togo Mimori-san?"

.......

Chapter 938: Summer Solstice has a special method of enlightenment

"I……"

Listening to Xia Zhi's words, Dong Xiang opened his mouth slightly, and at this moment

"Little Eagle——!"

The girl's voice came from a distance and quickly approached.

The extended gun handle turned into petals and disappeared, and Nogi Sonoko, wearing a brave uniform with white and indigo as the main colors, fell from the sky and landed on the top of the high wall.

She looked at the two people who were facing each other not far away, with a worried look in her eyes, and asked with concern:

"Xiaoji, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly want to do this?"

Seeing the girl appear, Dongxiang felt a little excited, but soon, she bit her lower lip lightly, did not answer Yuanzi's question, retracted her gaze, and looked at the boy in front of her again.

"Teacher, please move aside!"

"Are you really sure?"

Xia Zhi did not obey and moved aside. He looked into her eyes and confirmed again:

"This kind of thing will be hated by everyone."

"That doesn't matter, as long as it can free everyone from this hell..."

"That's just your wishful thinking, right?"

Xia Zhi interrupted her and asked, "Have you discussed this with other people and asked them what they think?"
