There was a voice in his heart shouting, but his body no longer obeyed his command. Xiangzi watched himself open the door.

I saw my CRYCHIC friends again, but why were their faces so blurry and their voices so far away?

The rain was falling heavily. Amid the vast clamor of heaven and earth, Xiangzi could only hear his own voice:

"I'm here today to say one thing. I want to quit CRYCHIC."

Yes, it was I who had hurt the companions who trusted me the most, and it was I who had abandoned my final destination with my own hands. All sounds and movements since then have faded into a blur, and I couldn't even say a proper goodbye. The companions who once shared my fate disappeared in the rain.

Finally, Xiangzi was left alone, kneeling in the pouring rain in the city. Faceless pedestrians hurried to and fro. No one would stop to listen to the cry of the girl who had parted with all her loved ones.

-

However, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

"Hello, can I help you?"

Xiangzi looked up and saw a young man with a big dog. His eyes were so clear that they seemed a little stupid. His body was completely soaked by the heavy rain and he looked even more miserable than Xiangzi.

"I'm a planeswalker, new to this world. Can you teach me how to find a job?"

"Chen Mo, you idiot."

Xiangzi remembered his name. This person who had nothing to do with his sadness and past appeared again in an unreasonable way.

The fate of the ordinary world has been severed, but this strange person will not abide by any common sense.

"It's raining. You can hide under the eaves to avoid the rain. Just crying won't do."

He was saying strange things again. Xiangzi didn't know where he was or which way to go. He followed Chen Mo in the rain in a daze. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The two of them couldn't get any wetter, but the sadness and pain they had just felt seemed to be overshadowed by this man's stupid question.

They talked about the difficulties of life, discussed their immature fantasies, laughed at each other's mistakes, and shared cheap but steaming food.

"Friends should help each other."

Countless scenes flow in the rain, old friends leave, new friends come, and new friends say goodbye:

A man with a scary face but only interested in housework

A muscular man who speaks in a strange tone

A petite middle school girl wearing an eyepatch.

The middle school student who is wearing bandages and trying to look cool, and his companions who are making cold comments

I don't know when my father came back to my side, but he looked a little depressed.

Old walls and roofs appeared around me. Although they were much simpler than my previous home, they were enough to block the heavy rain outside.

On this road, Chen Mo walked side by side with me, and sometimes he would lag behind a few steps, and I had to pull myself up to catch up. But without him, it would be difficult for me to walk out of this desperate rain.

"Thank you, Chen Mo, I shouldn't have kept calling you an idiot."

Xiangzi turned around and wanted to express his gratitude to the people around him, but Chen Mo was standing in the distance.

A chilling sense of déjà vu came over Xiangzi, and she widened her eyes, wanting to question him, but Chen Mo just shook his head and said to her with a smile:

"Goodbye, Xiangzi."

No, why should you leave too? "Why are you leaving!?"

Xiangzi stretched out his hand, trying to grab the other person, but he only grabbed an empty illusion.

Chen Mo's face still had that considerate and gentle look:

"I told you the first time we met that I'm a planeswalker. Now that I've finished my business in this world, it's time for me to leave."

"Wait a minute, you bastard! You are not allowed to leave!"

Chen Mo still had that gentle expression, but Xiangzi saw a chilling coldness in it:

He is not attached to this world, just as he is not attached to himself.

Chen Mo finally waved his hand: "Okay, I don't want to drag out this goodbye, goodbye."

After saying that, the other party disappeared, just as abruptly and illogically as he appeared.

Wait, stop! The fear and pain of having just been expelled surged back, her heart aching like a needle, and the heavy pressure almost bent her mind. Xiangzi shed tears in pain. Why didn't she notice it, or did she notice it but just didn't want to believe it?

You cannot change your parents’ fate;

Chuhua is not Chuhua, Xiaomu is not Xiaomu;

Everyone in the band will never come back after being abandoned;

Chen Mo is a planeswalker, and he will leave without mercy one day;

In this world, I am still alone.

When I reached the end, I still failed to become a human being.

-

The gentle voice came again: "Why endure the longing? Indulge with me, there will never be separation here."

The environment changed again. A bloody moon was in the sky, and Xiangzi knelt among the puppets scattered on the ground. A red line stretched out in front of her, and the gentle voice was now full of temptation:

“Since you are no longer human, then make yourself a puppet.

Listen to me, connect the red line to your heart, and everyone will come back.

They will all return to you, without sorrow or separation."

-

really?

Xiangzi looked up and saw her mother, her father, the rising Fengchuan mansion, and the garden full of bright yellow flowers;

The two Chuhuas stood on the stage, looking at him with the same tenderness;

The two little ones walked towards him hand in hand.

"Xiangzi, come back, we can still continue, everyone misses you very much"

The four members of CRYCHIC gently surrounded him and hugged him with their warm arms.

Even Chen Mo came back. He stood in a corner of the stage with a smile in his eyes.

However, all of these people were tied together with red strings, like puppets being manipulated by the darkness above the stage.

As long as you become a puppet, you can forget all the misfortunes, and there will be no separation in your life. You can just enjoy happiness step by step in the eternally beautiful script.

Xiangzi hesitated. Was he really going to connect the red string to his heart? Of course, puppets didn't need hearts. Only humans did.

Her hand gradually grasped the red string. At this moment, the big dog raised by Chen Mo rushed over, wagging its tail.

"Wait a minute Bruce, I'm doing something!"

But Bruce didn't listen to her and arched right into her arms and began to lick her wildly with his wet tongue.

"Stop, stop, stop! Chen Mo, take care of your dog! Bruce, you!"

Xiangzi was stunned. She found that Bruce did not have the red string of the doll on his body.

Suddenly, my stagnant thoughts started to move again.

The warm fur, the wet tongue, the smell of dog hair rushing into my nose, all these small but rich sensations overwhelmed everything else.

The psychedelic and illogical memories just now became as vague as a mirage, and the sadness that was about to crush the soul seemed like an illusion.

-

Xiangzi opened his eyes.

She was lying on the floor of Chen Mo's house, and Bruce was licking her face wildly with his tongue.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, stop licking those falling socks!"

Chapter 38: No Way to Escape the Seven Sufferings in Life

Walking on the street filled with black fog, the noisy voices suddenly disappeared at the same time, and the whole world fell into deathly silence.

Chen Mo reached out and saw a small barrier forming around him. Countless small barriers enveloped everyone in the residential area. Black mist spread along the edges of the barriers, and the water in the puddles on the ground began to float upwards, forming tiny droplets that hung in mid-air. In each droplet, someone's face was reflected.

The last wave of the mother on the hospital bed; the back of the lover turning away;

The angry expression on the face of a friend when they break up; the last image left by a young child before his untimely death;

Accompanied by the ethereal sound of bells, whispers and vague phantoms filled the interior of the barrier.

Chen Mo didn't draw his sword rashly. After confirming that this barrier would not cause any actual harm other than an illusion, he sent a message to Cat and Dog:

"How's the situation over there?"

Felynx: "Boss, I seem to be trapped in the barrier, meow. There are a lot of treasures and materials here, I'm trying to bag them, meow!"

Bruce: "Man, Xiang Jin was hallucinating just now, I licked her awake"

The cat also fell into the illusion. It seemed that this barrier was creating an illusion of the desires of each object. Only Bruce, who had nothing in his mind except his master, was not affected and saved Xiangzi.

Being able to make such a big noise, this evil spirit is much more powerful than that thing that takes a long time to play games before getting to the point.

-

The black fog gradually gathered into a solid form. A faint whisper appeared beside Chen Mo, and an ethereal female voice said gently:

"Long time no see, I'm right here, won't you look back at me? I know you miss me a lot, I'm right here."

Chen Mo shrugged. "Another trick of turning into an illusion of your lover? That won't work on me."

The voice's tone became deeper, with more tenderness mixed in:

"I am 'saving' lonely people from the pain of separation.

Stubborn child, I have heard your inner longing. The hard heart you pretend to be will be broken one day. Why don't you look back? Look back, the person you miss the most and the one you are most reluctant to leave is right here. Don't pretend to be strong anymore.

Why endure the longing? Indulge with me, there will never be separation here. "

"Honestly, if every evil spirit could speak in such a nice tone, it wouldn't be so uncomfortable for me to see you."

Chen Mo complained, then turned around: "Okay, I'm back, what tricks can you play?"
