Uma Musume is not Kamen Rider

58. Mother

"Mother?"

Lin Mo Jingguang's voice trembled a little. The woman in front of him was so familiar. Her face was almost the same as hers, and her long hair was combed on her shoulders like hers. Except for her thin body, she looked almost like a cut from the same mold as Lin Mo Jingguang.

"Here I am~ Little Mirror Light~"

The woman in front of her stretched out her hand to her, and her body trembled slightly.

Logically speaking, the mirror light should be alert to the other party at this time and not approach it.

But when she saw how thin the hand that was slowly reaching out from mid-air was, she couldn't help but feel a trace of pain in her heart.

Finally, the pale hand gently stroked the girl's head.

Lin Mu Jingguang squatted beside the hospital bed and stretched out his head so that the person on the bed could feel more relaxed when touching his head.

Zhou Rijing stroked the girl's head very gently, which made Lin Mo Jingguang feel very comfortable.

Lin Mo Jingguang really wanted to deny that the mother in front of him was fake, but the aura coming from the person in front of him was indeed the reassuring feeling in his memory, and her face was indeed his mother's face.

But hasn't my mother already...

"Hmm? Little Jingguang? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"

"No, Mom, I just thought of something..."

The girl felt this familiar pat on the head, and tears unconsciously flowed from her eyes. She wiped them again and again with her sleeves, but the tears still flowed out uncontrollably.

Lin Mo Jingguang raised his head and looked at Zhou Rijing with his slightly red and swollen eyes, looking at those blue eyes that seemed even bluer than the clearest sky in the world.

Looking at the trace of doubt, worry, kindness and love in those beautiful eyes...

When I was copying the mirror light, I felt my nose getting sore and tears were flowing uncontrollably.

"Mom...I miss you..."

The girl finally choked up and spoke out her true thoughts.

Zhou Rijing saw his child crying like this, smiled helplessly, reached out and hugged the girl squatting beside the bed.

"Be good, be good, don't cry, mommy is here, mommy is here, okay?"

She patted the girl's back gently, but Lin Mo Jingguang cried even louder.

Lin Mo Jingguang knew that his mother had passed away long ago and everything now was an illusion.

But, what can we do even if we know it is an illusion?

Is the sadness she feels in her heart fake? If she doesn't express this sorrow and longing now, who can she confide in next time to express her longing for her mother?

After a while, the girl's emotions gradually stabilized.

Although she still sobbed once or twice while breathing, her emotions were obviously much more stable now than before.

Maybe it was because she hadn't seen her mother for too long. The longing that had accumulated since childhood suddenly burst in an instant. This was also the first time that the girl cried so miserably.

The girl struggled to open her tear-swollen eyes and looked at Zhou Rijing who was smiling in front of her. She suddenly felt a little shy.

I have seen all the embarrassing things———

"Jingguang, look into my eyes, I have a question for you."

"Eh?"

The girl looked at the other person, but found that her mother's eyes suddenly became very serious, which made her sit up straight.

"Am I...already dead?"

Zhou Rijing spoke hesitantly, looking like he didn't quite believe himself.

"..."

"......Yes."

Lin Mo Jingguang spoke in a low voice as she didn't want to give the mother in front of her too much stimulation.

Even if it was fake, she really didn't want to see her mother sad.

But the Zhou Rijing in front of Lin Mo Jingguang did not panic as Lin Mo Jingguang imagined, but instead showed a relieved expression.

"Is that so... Is that so... I really can't stay with Zhengyi till the end..."

Zhou Rijing withdrew his hands that had just been around the girl, leaned gently against the headboard of the bed, and turned to look out the window.

"How long have I been sitting here looking out this window? A month? A year or two? Or have I been sitting here since I died? I can't figure it out."

"If Jingguang you hadn't come, I would have probably sat in this room forever."

"But I don't regret it at all. Can you guess why?"

After Zhou Rijing learned of his own death, his mood actually became much better. He even had the leisure to joke with Lin Mo Jingguang.

Lin Mo Jingguang shook her head in response to Zhou Rijing's question. She didn't know the answer.

"My silly daughter, it's because of you."

"Eh?"

"Are you confused about what this space is? Are you also confused about why you are so familiar with these scenes, and have an inexplicable sense of déjà vu?"

"Ah."

"Of course, my stupid daughter, you are so smart normally, but now you are so confused. Did you get it from your stupid father?"

Zhou Rijing reached out his hand and tapped Lin Mo Jingguang's head lovingly.

"This is your memory space, silly child."

Brain extracorporeal*~group-*

It was as if a bolt of lightning flashed across the sea, and the girl's brain went into a state of shutdown.

"Although I don't know who deliberately extracted this memory, I roughly understand its purpose. It should be to trap you..."

"Why would my mother know..."

"They say this is your memory space. Although this memory is only a small part now, I existed in your complete memory before, and I know a little bit about some things."

Lin Mu Jingguang's brain gradually returned to normal, and the girl began to quickly interpret the information just received.

If the mother in front of him was not lying, then she was indeed pulled into a space, but this space was not somewhere else, but was deliberately chosen to be in her own memories.

Because the chosen location is a place you have been to, the resulting effect is the same as that of a single-threaded stand-alone game. It seems that there are choices, but in fact there is no power to choose.

Because she had made the choice for her present in the past.

So the question is, why did the Midnight Prayer choose this memory? If, as my mother said, this guy's purpose was to trap me, then there shouldn't be any factors in this dream that would trap me, right?

and many more...

If the method to exit this dimension is the same as the previous Parasitic Shadow dimension...

Then there must be an anchor point in this space to fix the entire space...

As long as I destroy the anchor point, I can escape from this space...

If I were praying for the polar night, I would set the anchor point at......?!

Suddenly, Lin Mo Jingguang seemed to have figured something out. He raised his head and looked at the most peculiar existence in this space, his eyes full of disbelief.

"This is my smart daughter~"

Zhou Rijing smiled frivolously, then gently pulled up the hospital clothes around his waist.

What was revealed was not the white belly as imagined, but a crystallized, twisted object!

She, Sunday Mirror, is the anchor of this space!

59. Become the most shining horse girl...

What exactly are spatial nodes? I have never been very clear about copying mirror light.

In a previous competition, she was once involved in a different dimension, and she was able to get out by cutting through the nodes in the dimension.

But the girl's vision was blocked by darkness at that time, and the stupid parasitic shadow actually placed the node on its own body, so the girl was able to identify the location by hearing the sound and cut it with a knife.

From beginning to end, the girl had never seen what the space node looked like.

Now she finally saw what this thing looked like, in the way she least wanted to see.

Zhou Rijing's body, starting from the chest, was gradually covered by some indescribable crystals. The crystals were crystal clear, and the girl could even see the pulsation of the blood vessels in the body of the person in front of her through the crystals...

"Little Jingguang, I am the node of this space. As long as I break this place..." Zhou Rijing took Jingguang's hand and pressed it against his crystallized body, and said softly.

"As long as you break this place, you can go back, little Jingguang, to the world that belongs to you..."

The cold touch of the crystal made Lin Mo Jingguang stand there in a daze. He felt disbelief at first, and then this emotion turned into anger towards the Midnight Wish. However, this anger did not last long, and the emotion finally turned into a slight sense of sadness...

"After I break this...Mom, are you..."

Lin Mo Jingguang's body was trembling a little, and he lowered his head to let the bangs on his forehead cover his expression.

"Yeah, of course I will disappear~ But I'm already dead, so dying again doesn't seem to matter that much."

Zhou Rijing smiled, her smile was as warm as the sun. It was hard to believe that this was a smile that would be shown by a horse racing girl who was about to embark on a strange journey.

Whether now or in the past, Zhou Ri Jing, the horse racing girl, seemed to have never been afraid of her own departure.

Although the fate of death cannot be changed, can't I still change myself? Isn't it better to leave beautiful memories with a smile?

Even when facing strangers, I still return the world with a smile.

This is what the horse racing girl Sunday Mirror would do...

"Come on, kid, just punch here with all your strength, and you can go out and meet your friends. But be quick, mom is a little afraid of pain~"

Ah.... This is really unfair, using such a smile to let others understand me or something...

How can one do this...

The fist was pressed against Zhou Rijing's abdomen, but the girl was reluctant to exert any strength. It was obvious that this fragile crystal structure could be broken by a full-strength blow from the horse girl, but she still couldn't swing her fist.

The person in front of me looks so much like my mother...

Temperament, appearance, way of speaking, gentle attitude, optimistic thinking...

She is a collection of the concept of mother in his memory. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to call her a copy of Jingguang's real mother...

The more similar they were, the less willing she was to take action... She didn't want to and didn't dare to endure the pain of losing her mother again...

Before she became Uma Musume and Kamen Rider, she was the daughter of the man in front of her, Sun Ri Jing!

Let the daughter personally end the life of her beloved mother...

"No, Jingguang, you have to go back quickly."

Zhou Rijing seemed to notice Lin Mo Jingguang's hesitation, so he spoke in a slightly reproachful tone.

"Mom, I am a dead ghost. I am already very satisfied to be able to appear in front of you like this. Although I feel a little regretful that I cannot continue to accompany you for the rest of your life, it doesn't matter, because I know that my own child will continue to be strong even in my absence, and this is already very satisfying."

"I don't want it! I just want my mother to be with me forever!" Unconsciously, Lin Mo Jingguang had gradually regarded Zhou Rijing in front of him as a real mother. He hugged her slender body and buried his cheek in her dark hair.

Faced with the reaction of copying the mirror light, Zhou Rijing was a little helpless. His child was good in every way except that he was too dependent on himself.

She gently stroked the girl's back and spoke slowly.

"Jingguang, do you know? Mom, I used to have a dream~

At that time, I was still very young and felt that all the honors in the world should belong to me, and then I would become the most shining horse girl on the track...

But later, I found that not all dreams can come true...

But my mother is a person who never gives up. She always fantasizes that she can become the shining horse racing girl in her dream, and then she goes to race again and again, but she loses miserably in every race, haha~

Later, mom met Zhengyi, your father... Your father is actually a very gentle person, but sometimes it is difficult for him to express his inner thoughts. When you have a conflict with him, you have to give in to him. He won't do anything bad to you...

Later, I gave birth to you and then fell ill.

Every day, I sit in front of the bed, waiting for Zhengyi to bring you to see me...
