I'm doing crazy things in Beng3

"Ms. Yaezakura, have you ever thought about going out and seeing the outside world?"

Lin Wei went straight to the point.

But Yaezakura was clearly unmoved and politely declined, "The outside world? Sir, are you referring to Shinano, or other places? Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I am a shrine maiden, and my duties are..."

"Five hundred years have passed outside. This is the message from an old friend that I want to bring you."

Lin Wei interrupted Yaezakura. At this moment, he was extremely cruel and sincere.

"Karen is dead."

"Would you like to go with me to see the outside world?"

Then there was a long dead silence,

No one answered, no one spoke, as if the passage of time had come to a sudden halt.

"click"

Until a slight sound of breaking was heard from somewhere, and then it became louder and louder, and the direction of the sound spread from one place to all directions.

Until the whole world collapsed like a mirror.

A helpless sigh came.

"Why must you be so cruel, sir?"

Chapter 18: I'll leave everything to you, sir

"Why must you be so cruel, sir?"

Yaezakura in front of him sighed, but did not show any surprise or sadness. She accepted the result calmly, as if she had expected it.

The crackling sound of shattering was approaching rapidly from a distance, and this world was finally broken by Lin Wei himself.

The broken mirror reflects the peaceful Yae Village; the broken gaps expose ominous black fog and blazing flames.

"Why do you want to disrupt this last bit of peace?"

Yaezakura seemed to be in another world, oblivious to the current state of the world that was falling apart.

She reached out and took the teacup in front of Lin Wei away, then opened a new cup, poured a cup of warm water into it and handed it to him. Then she smiled gently, with a nostalgic look on her face, but a little sad.

"In the past, every time Rin took medicine, her face would be wrinkled because of the bitterness. So at that time, I would prepare a cup of warm water for Rin to rinse her mouth in advance. I also specially raised some bees and cut some honey to save, so that every time Rin took the medicine, her mouth would have a little sweetness."

"In order to make the bees produce more honey, I also planted a lot of flowers in my yard, all kinds of flowers in all seasons. Haha, now that I think about it, those few flowers in the circle can't really help at all."

Yaesakura said this with a proper smile on her face, just like a competent shrine maiden facing the villagers who came to ask for help. Then she took out a cup, poured herself a cup of warm water, and took a sip.

"It's a pity that I have forgotten the taste of honey. Otherwise, it should make Mr. Lin Wei feel a little better and I wouldn't be so rude as I am now."

The sound of destruction was still approaching, and the collapse of the world was still accelerating, but the two people sitting on the couch didn't care about it at all.

Yaezakura raised the warm water in her hand and gently looked into Lin Wei's eyes. Lin Wei understood and also raised the cup in his hand. The two of them used warm water instead of tea, or water instead of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

The water is really delicious. Although it is plain and tasteless, it is full of tenderness, hope and blessings.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir. My humble abode is so simple that I wanted to serve tea to the guests, but in the end, I can only offer this glass of water!"

Yaezakura stood up and bowed, then reached out to pour a cup of warm water for Lin Wei, and then asked with a serious expression,

"My soul has been worn out. The only thing left in my memory is this bitter taste. I don't want to embarrass you because of this. It's really rude."

"Is it necessary for someone like me to see the outside world? I also saw some of Mr. Lin Wei's memories. Although they were a little unpleasant, I chose to indulge in this false world until the end. Isn't this the ending that Yaezakura should have had?"

"Sir, since you have already obtained what you wanted, why do you have to interfere?"

Yaezakura's tone was somewhat mournful. She raised her beautiful arm and pointed at the spider-web-like cracks that had spread to the wooden door of the courtyard. The originally prosperous and beautiful Yaezakura outside had completely disappeared. However, her eyes were always fixed on Lin Wei's eyes, and she didn't pay attention to this world that was about to be destroyed.

She had known it all along.

Lin Wei looked at him calmly and said calmly, "No matter how beautiful a dream is, it is still just a dream; no matter how terrible a nightmare is, it is still just a dream. As long as you are willing, you can wake up from any dream, whether it is a beautiful dream or a nightmare. As long as you are still alive, there is hope for the future, because being alive itself is hope!"

"Can I still be considered alive in my current state?"

Yaezakura laughed at herself, shook her head, and poured herself another cup of bitter tea.

"Why not?" Lin Wei suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed Yaesakura's teacup. She struggled twice but failed to break free.

"You can walk, laugh, talk, communicate, have thoughts and emotions, how can you not be alive? Look at Yae Village, what a beautiful place, there is no other village in the world that can compare with it! This is the symbol of your soul, the symbol that you are still alive! Without rich thoughts, abundant love, and ardent hope, how can you make your soul painting so beautiful?"

Lin Wei shouted loudly, "Yae Sakura, look into my eyes! You see, I am alive, and this is the look in the eyes of a living person! Do you see your shadow in my eyes? This is the expression that only a living being can have! Your eyes are the same, although your body has decayed, your soul is shining. Such a beautiful soul, such a strong soul, how can it not be considered alive?!"

"..."

Yaezakura was silent.

At this moment, the fragmentation of the world had already shattered the small flower bed in the yard, like a dark vortex of destruction, tightly wrapping the last bit of pure land in the center.

She hesitated for a moment, then slowly began to laugh at herself.

"Can a person like me, with blood on my hands, full of sins, and who has accomplished nothing, be called beautiful and strong? Mr. Lin Wei, I appreciate your kindness, but time is running out, so please leave now."

"But the impression I have of Yae Sakura is that she is a strong, decisive, and opinionated girl."

Lin Wei poured out the tea that had been in his hand, then took out a clean cup and poured a cup of warm water for Yaezakura, then said slowly,

"Look, what a wonderful warm water! Even in such a bitter life, it can still bring a precious sweet aftertaste. Even if it is very faint, it is precious enough to temporarily get rid of the nightmare and fall asleep peacefully in the bitter night!"

“Look, next to the bitter tea, there is warm water that symbolizes hope and blessing; in the illusory Yae Village, there is such a warm and real house. You have been calling for help in this way, and you have been saving yourself in this way!”

"Yae Sakura! Why do you still want to deceive yourself? You never gave up hope, never gave up life, never gave up on yourself, and now, are you going to tell me that you want to give up? Are you going to give up when you are about to reach the end?"

The collapse of the world has spread to the bridge, and time is running out. Lin Wei was anxious, and grabbed Yaezakura's hand, staring at her dazed face seriously.

"Yes, that's right! We are weak in front of the gods and powerless in front of fate, but this is not a reason for us to accept our fate! Yae Sakura, you have been resisting, haven't you? When Rin was chosen as the sacrifice, you immediately wanted to escape with your sister, without hesitation! When Rin was already pressed on the altar and was about to be executed, you still grabbed her hand and wanted to take her away, without hesitation! Even if we fail in the end, it's only because we are weak and don't have enough strength to fight!"

"We have been fighting against the hateful fate. Hang on! Live! Hang on to live! Hang on to live by any means necessary! As long as we are still alive, we will see hope sooner or later!"

"Look, we never gave up. I won't give up, and you never gave up either, so I won't allow you to give up now!"

The collapse of the world is about to touch my body, and it’s almost too late!

Lin Wei shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Yae Sakura, are you really still hesitating? The Yae Sakura I know is not the same as the person who looked similar to her 50,000 years ago!"

"The Yae Sakura I know is determined and resolute, and will fight to the end as long as there's a glimmer of hope! She will never give up as long as there's a glimmer of hope!"

"If you are tired, just leave everything to me. I will end your nightmares. Then, I will take you to see the outside world, a world that is not beautiful, but real!"

The sound of the mirror shattering was already close to their ears, and the collapsed black cracks had already surrounded the couch, as if they were going to swallow up the two of them in the next second.

Yaezakura digested it briefly, weighed the pros and cons, drank the warm water in her hand, and then poured another cup of warm water for Lin Wei, stood up, straightened her appearance, and bowed deeply.

"In that case, I'll leave it to Mr. Lin Wei."

"Please, help me cut off all these nightmares!"

Chapter 19: Open the door, I'll take something

Lin Wei also stood up solemnly, picked up the glass of ordinary warm water, and drank it all as promised.

Suddenly, the collapse of the world swept everything. With the sound of a mirror falling to the ground, everything disappeared, like the changes of the world, and came to another world.

It was still Yae Village, but it was late at night; Lin Wei was no longer in the simple, clean and warm wooden house, but in front of a dilapidated shrine. The shrine's torii had collapsed, the stone steps were covered with dry moss, the cracks in the rocks were full of weeds, and they were burned to ashes in the raging fire. The ashes and the flames burned the entire shrine to charcoal, and the crackling sound of charcoal could be heard from the remains of the building.

Lin Wei looked calm. He first looked at the palm of his hand, and saw that the cup of water he was holding had disappeared. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

The fire at the shrine had clearly gone out, but the air was still scorching hot. Lin Wei looked back and saw, as expected, that Yae Village had already been engulfed in flames. There was only the sound of the raging fire and the sound of houses collapsing. Apart from that, there was nothing else, the shouts of the fire brigade, the cries of women, the cries of children, the barking of dogs, the sounds of chaotic and staggering footsteps, nothing at all.

There was dead silence and thick black smoke blocked out the sky.

It's the end of the world here.

Lin Wei sighed softly. He didn't know why, but he felt like he sighed too many times today.

Come on, do you really think you are a kind person who is compassionate to others? Lin Wei despised himself.

There is nothing to see here anymore. Lin Wei turned his head back. His feet had not moved, so he looked towards the place where Yaezakura should have been.

There was no one there, only a huge golden cross standing majestically, emitting a faint golden light, dispersing the black smoke that was so thick that it seemed tangible, and tightly protecting the small piece of pure land left at its feet, and it has been guarding it for five hundred years.

Lin Wei lowered her eyes slightly. A scarred white-haired nun fell to the ground in pain. She was covered in blood and breathing weakly. She looked pitiful as if she would die at any time. However, her pair of blue eyes looked at Lin Wei's face with incomparable brightness.

"Kallen Kaslana?" Lin Wei asked tentatively, but he had another answer in his mind, and he felt that the other answer was the truth.

Sure enough, the white-haired nun nodded, then shook her head, and then said weakly: "If you are used to calling me that, it's okay."

Her voice was gentle, sounding like a spring breeze, completely different from Yaesakura's gentle tone which carried a cool temperament.

"Kallen was the one who protected Yae Sakura in the end, and she was also her last psychological support. Therefore, after Kallen left, I could only choose to become Kallen's image, so that she would not feel alone, and protect her from being swallowed by the darkness."

Sure enough. Lin Wei suddenly realized, but it was not beyond his expectations.

Kallen Kaslana was not that special. She was neither truly sacred nor powerful. Lin Wei did not think so. She was just a talented human girl who could leave a trace of longing in someone else's body to protect her five hundred years after her own body had completely died.

Even the invincible Red Kite Immortal has to rely on the feathers separated by Yu Duchen to achieve a similar effect.

There is no way Kallen has this ability, even with the help of Judas.

Therefore, it can only be Yae Sakura herself, and her subconscious has been saving herself...

At that time, Karen herself had fallen into despair. How could such a person really protect others?

She only had time to reseal the black box before leaving in a hurry. Before leaving, she only had time to tell Yaezakura "Don't give up".

Then this respectable silly girl really did not give up, and persisted for five hundred years. Even though her consciousness had become blurred, deep in her heart she had the will to resist and never give up. She transformed herself into the person she trusted most and held the last line of defense until new guests arrived.

Lin Wei had mixed feelings in his heart and it was hard not to be moved.

Kallen is dead, and now "Kallen" can no longer protect her.

He bent down and gently helped "Karen", who had long lost the ability to move, so that she could sit up leaning against the golden cross, and then gently wiped the blood off her face.

Whether it's Yae Sakura or Kallen, they should never look so embarrassed.

"Karen" smiled slightly and declined softly.

"My strength is exhausted! I'll leave everything else to you."

"Karen's" voice gradually weakened, almost becoming a whisper. But she still struggled to stretch out her hands and handed them to Lin Wei, while staring at him closely with a pair of hopeful blue eyes, using the last bit of her strength to make her voice sound weak but extremely clear.

"Please, you must save Yaezakura, save... me..."

After saying that, he kept staring at Lin Wei until he saw Lin Wei nodded seriously and took his already cold hands. Then he smiled with relief, and a fire seed slipped from his hands and landed steadily in Lin Wei's palm. Then he smiled with relief and slowly closed his eyes.

Even so, the proud head remained upright and refused to lower.

Lin Wei had been watching, his heart filled with more and more complex emotions, such as sourness, bitterness, melancholy and sadness.

No matter what the real Kallen looked like in history, at least the "Kallen Kaslana" in front of him, Lin Wei felt that he would find it difficult to forget her for the rest of his life!

Then, Lin Wei saw the white-haired girl who refused to lower her head with her body starting to fade, and finally turned into a ray of light that fell onto the almost temperatureless fire in his hand.

At this point, the fire is revived and the palms can feel the heat of life.

Lin Wei held the precious fire in both hands, carefully placed it on the spot where "Karen" had originally been lying, and then waited quietly.

In just a few seconds, the fire burst into flames, spread in all directions, then turned into light and slowly gathered together.

After the light faded, a pink-haired girl in a shrine maiden's costume lay quietly in that position, seemingly overlapping with the "Karen" just now, perfectly fitting without any error.

The girl's chest heaved slightly, her long, shiny cherry-colored hair obediently draped over the ground, her eyes were urgent, her expression was sometimes sad, sometimes peaceful, as if she had fallen into a permanent dream.

Lin Wei picked her up gently, and then placed her under the golden cross like Kallen, but unlike just now, Lin Wei carefully laid Yae Sakura flat on the ground, held her head with one hand and gently put her down, then took off his shirt and jacket, folded it into a pillow and placed it behind her head, hoping that she could sleep more comfortably.

Lin Wei looked at Yaezakura's quiet but not peaceful sleeping posture, and smiled slightly...

Why are you sighing? Is this the end? It's time to get back to work, don't you know?

Lin Wei forced himself to stop his emotions, and then looked around roughly. Then he stood up, walked straight to the other end of the golden cross, stretched out his hand and knocked three times in a row, shouting:

"Brother, open the door, I'll get something!"

Chapter 20: Flower of Hope

"Brother, open the door, I want to get something!"

Lin Wei shouted at the cross like a fool, and then the cross really opened with a "swoosh", revealing a row of golden spears that were shining with cold light and were extremely sharp.

"Turtle!"
