Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

Himeko: If everything could be done over again, Sand Gold would probably want a beautiful home more.

[If this tragic fate hadn't occurred, we might never have discovered placer gold.]

Haha, maybe she's being pressured to get married right now!

[Jingyuan: It's a pity there are no "what ifs," and we can't change the past. Sigh.]

[Blade: Dan Heng, come out and face your death! Do you think you can escape?]

[Danheng: I am not him]

[Fufu: The past cannot be changed, but the future can]

As soon as he finished speaking, the phantom disappeared.

Suddenly, the annoying voice in his ears disappeared, and Sand Gold was really not used to it for a while.

This time it's so quiet. Has he finally disappeared... or am I about to disappear?

I saw the light before me.

Finally... I'm out of here.

"Are we going home? But I don't want to go back yet."

"This place is really fun."

The child's pure voice echoed in Sand Gold's ears.

We arrived at a platform.

"Sir...is that you? I heard the sound of leather shoes."

"Ah...it really is you."

The gold dust slowly approached the child.

"I don't know why, sir, you always give me a special feeling...it makes me very curious and eager to try."

The child's dirty face showed an innocent smile.

"It's a pity I couldn't get to know you more. We should say goodbye now. Did you have a good time?"

Sand Gold asked with a hint of reluctance, "Are you... going back?"

"Well, I should go home now. The sky is getting dark, it looks like it's going to rain, I can't keep everyone worried."

Sand Gold asked gently, "Where...is your home?"

"That's a strange question. Home is where Dad, Mom, and my sister are..."

"Right here in this dream."

[Star: Waaah, Sand Gold has no home anymore.]

[Ambion: Home is where Nicole is...]

[Billy: Ambi, I'm so sad]

[Rin: Brother!]

[Zhe: I'm here.]

[Ying: You wicked brother, what kind of riddle-maker are you, making me complete the journey? Let me tell you, you're finished! This family no longer has you!]

【null:……】

Sand Gold's brows were tightly furrowed, revealing a sorrowful expression.

I no longer have a home.

"This dream is so peaceful; everyone loves it. But sir, why don't you like it?"

Sand Gold sighed, "...because they are not here."

The phantom remains carefree, reopening the wounds of the gold dust.

The illusory figure sneered: "Then where are they?"

Gold dust: "I don't know."

The phantom: "You know perfectly well. It's just that the answer is meaningless."

The gold dust sighed, listless.

The phantom: "Admit it, you're tired. We're all tired, so we've decided to stay here, me... and him."

As he spoke, the phantom appeared beside the child, and together they looked at the gold dust.

"Your past...and your future."

Gold dust: "How long are you staying here?"

The phantom: "Forever. We will stay with you forever in this dream. This is our greatest respect for those who have decided to die."

[This kind of horrific homoeroticism is terrifying; how can it be overcome?!]

[Sajin is really tired. He probably doesn't want to leave, after all, he's lost his family.]

Wendy: Her past and future selves invite her to her death.

"Taking an unconventional approach is an extremely absurd thing to do, but it's not uncommon for you. Because your own life has always been the first chip you throw away, it's always been that way."

“You don’t care who the real culprit is, and you’re not interested in the so-called inheritance. All you want is to be a fair and impartial company employee, suffering in every aspect of your family’s territory, being shackled, and pushed to the center stage…”

"And then, become the third victim of this grand event."

[Ring: No! Sand Gold is going to commit suicide!]

[You're too dedicated! Can't you just focus on doing your job well?]

[Jingyuan: This is himself.]

Sand Gold: "...I can do it, and it will be flawless."

"Of course you can. Your good fortune will surely come your way at just the right time—a star core and a messenger…it’s that simple, isn’t it?"

The phantom appeared behind Sand Gold.

"In this way, the company will be able to get on the table. And you will be able to extricate yourself from the endless vortex and get the liberation you've always dreamed of."

“This isn’t the first time… This is the way you’re best at, and the way you crave most. This farce began with a death, and it will end with a death.”

The phantom sneered, "So that's why the diamond chose you?"

“You always win, you never lose—but why you? Why…it has to be you?”

"If the miracle of a lucky person is built entirely on the misfortunes of all those he loves, and even more... if every rain you bring never symbolizes the forgiveness and grace of the Mother Goddess, but rather one meaningless death after another..."

"...So what mistakes did we make to be born into this world?"

[Qingyi: So that's why he hates rain; every rain brings disaster and misfortune.]

Bennett: So, can my bad luck help others?

[March 7th: The price of good fortune is the misfortune of loved ones and others; for gold dust, this is no less a curse.]

No wonder Sand Gold wanted to be free; he was truly exhausted.

[Black Tower: Bearing the hopes of your people, do you really want to die?]

The gold dust became stagnant.

He said softly, "Perhaps when I reach that destination, our confusion will be resolved."

The phantom laughed heartily.

"Hmph... Alright. I'll go first, my friend, I'll be waiting for you up ahead (in the future)."

"In these final moments, say a proper goodbye to this child (of the past). Try your best to..."

"...I would die without regret."

[The gold nugget was determined to die, but the future revealed that it could no longer affect him; he had come to terms with it, after all, it was gold nugget after all.]

[Ring: Goodbye to the future, farewell to the past.]

[March 7th: Placer gold, oh dear!]

[Director of Gold Mining, please don't! I'm still waiting for you to come back and lead us to become bigger and stronger!]

[Kaiya: His mind is made up; he is ready to die]

[Topa: Gold dust, I believe in you. Emerald and I are waiting for your return!]

[Huang Quan: You want to attack Xing? Or are you trying to provoke me?]

Chapter 48 Goodbye, Kakawaxia

"Now... it's just us left."

Kakavasya looked expectantly at the gold dust with his clear eyes.

"Could you take a picture of me? Just to keep a memento."

Sand Gold's eyes were full of doting affection. "...Okay, come on."

The child, after having his picture taken, happily said, "That's great! Now I can see what I look like."

"Next time you take a photo, remember to look at the camera; your expression will be more natural."

Kakavasha: "Yes, I will. So... sir, are you going back too?"

"I can't leave yet."

"I have another performance here..."

At this moment, Sand Gold already knew that this child was his past self.

Gold gives infinite tenderness to its former self.

Although it was tough back then and I had to evade capture, it was my only source of warmth because they were still there.

Kakavasya looked at the gorgeous gold-plated figure.

"Oh, so you're going to perform on stage soon, right?"

"Let's go then, I'll take you to the big stage."

Sand Gold: "...Hmm."

Kakavasya slowly walked onto the stage with the gold dust, asking and answering questions.

"So you're an actress...no wonder your clothes are so beautiful."

"Actually, I'm a... businessman. But I do have a performance."

"You're like the man in black from the sky? But you're not wearing black clothes."

"Only ordinary employees have to wear those kinds of clothes. My position is... much higher than theirs."

Kakavasya exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow, that's amazing. I hope I can grow up to be as beautiful as you."

Sha Jin affirmed.

"you can."

"You will definitely be better and more capable than me."

Led by Kakavasya, they went behind the stage curtain.

"Behind this curtain lies the grand stage..."

"It's almost time to go on stage, are you ready? I wish you a successful performance."

The gold dust recovered its negative emotions and smiled.

"Thank you."

Kakawasha: "You still look very nervous..."

"Then let's exchange palms. If the Mother Goddess protects you, things will be easier for you."

Kakavasha thought that Sand Gold didn't know what "opposite palms" meant, so he explained it to him.
