The tragic screams came one after another, and soon, there was nothing left here except the corpses of sheep and a sea of blood.
But this wasn't the end. Sakura's eyes dimmed as she walked into the next pen where livestock were kept, knife in hand...
Dusk has arrived, and the golden afterglow of the setting sun shines on the country roads full of pastoral atmosphere. However, unlike before, the roads are already filled with livestock carcasses, and black and red blood is flowing in the ditches.
As the sun sets, the sky becomes darker and darker, and the sun falls.
It will definitely rise, this is common sense, but... what's the point?
Dark red blood soaked through her clothes, and Sakura was covered in dirt.
But she no longer had the desire to wash herself, and she staggered along the village streets like a zombie.
She killed all the livestock here, not a single one was left.
However, the nightmare is not over. Even though he no longer has to endure the pain of being eaten, there is still the even more tormenting loneliness.
She is the only one in this world...
"Well……"
As soon as she finished killing the livestock, Ying felt relieved, and her whole body was liberated, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.
Once relaxed, there is no more tension, or it is impossible to tighten.
As time went by, Ying fell into confusion. She tried to find out if there were any living people hiding in some corner, but all her hopes were dashed.
After searching day after day and year after year, this fantasy was finally shattered.
All that accompanied her, besides the magic sword in her hand, were the piles of livestock corpses.
"..."
"..."
After a brief moment of deliberation, Sakura decided to set off again, leaving the village and walking out of the forest.
This departure lasted for decades.
The blood was washed away by the rain, the footprints were covered by mud and sand, leaving no trace.
Between heaven and earth, there is only a delicate body that keeps moving forward, forward, and forward.
"There's no end..." Sakura realized this and she no longer made a fuss about these bizarre things.
She has already compromised, and now it is a world where only she exists.
Walking to the stream, Ying squatted down and stared quietly at her reflection in the water.
Her messy long hair had not been trimmed for who knows how long, her clothes were ragged and her eyes were dull, and her plump and graceful body was tightly wrapped in dirty clothes.
Her body remained at that moment of full maturity, and no matter how long it passed, it never changed.
"I shouldn't have picked up that knife in the first place."
"I had no idea this was going to happen. No one told me."
"No, she said I would encounter something more terrible than death..."
"Is it loneliness? It's like this. There's no way out. No matter how long I walk, I can't leave. There are no people or living things here. I killed the only creature that could bring me emotional fluctuations."
"If I don't kill them, I'll be eaten at night. It's painful...very painful. I don't want to endure that pain again."
"But compared to being alone, being eaten seems..."
"good?"
Sakura whispered to her reflection, which seemed to be another person in the water.
"Ling... Is my sister's name Ling? I think so. Was it her who asked me to pick up this knife? I don't think it's entirely her. I also want to gain the power to protect my family."
"But...is it so important to protect your family?"
Sakura tilted her head, staring at her reflection in confusion, her eyes filled with doubt.
"It's good to be alone. Do I really have a family? Even if I do, it doesn't seem to matter anymore. I've always been alone..."
Sakura said calmly.
She had been here for so long that she had forgotten what she was like in the past.
After staying in nothingness for too long, for the person concerned, is nothingness her essence, or is the experience of just over a decade on Earth her essence?
"Why not kill myself now and go back to the first day? At least I can see those animals, even though they will eat me at night."
As soon as she finished speaking, the corners of Ying's mouth curled up slightly, and she placed the demon sword across her neck.
"Let me think, what last words should I leave for myself?"
Sakura thought as she rubbed the demon sword against the skin of her neck.
Even if he returns to that world, no one can match his control over the blade.
Ying is not in a hurry to kill herself, because the time of loneliness is very long, long enough to drive any ordinary person crazy. Although the body is alive, the soul has long been dried up, just like death.
But the pain made her know clearly that she was still alive.
"By the way, did she remind me of something back then?"
Ying fell into deep thought as night fell quietly and the moonlight shone into the stream.
Ordinary memories, memories that last until midnight.
"Oh, I remember now. She told me: If I can't hold on any longer... just call out his name."
"But who is he? Ling? I've called him many times."
"If it's not Ling, who else could it be? I don't know many people, and it would be useless even if I called out..."
"Haha ...
Ying smiled self-deprecatingly, her eyes full of loneliness.
The road ahead is clear; she will stay here until her spirit completely collapses.
That might be a good thing. Only by going completely crazy can one not feel endless sadness, and not have any expectations, the expectation of being saved.
"..."
"..."
"Li Mo, is that... your name?"
Ying recited softly, then looked around. There was complete silence, only the moonlight was pouring in, and it seemed to have become a brighter red.
Even if this time and space is fictional and false.
Ying smiled bitterly, mocking her reflection in the water: "You are too naive. You will stay here forever until you collapse and no longer have any expectations of anyone or anything..."
Blood oozed from the wound, dripping onto the water surface, creating ripples.
Just as Ying was about to end her life and return to the first day, she discovered that the pale moonlight that was usually as clear as frost had turned blood red.
The strange scene that broke the routine made Sakura smile excitedly for the first time in a long time.
This scene is definitely not a good thing, but what could be more terrifying than a person wandering in a lonely world like a ghost?
The appearance of visions means...hope!
Chapter 46: This world is full of illusions, but pain never lies
Ying put down the magic sword and looked around. The moonlight had obviously shifted and was shining behind her.
Ying had the impression that it was the road leading to the village.
The road tonight doesn't seem so boring anymore. With something to look forward to in my heart, loneliness becomes bearable.
Compared to before, Ying's steps became lighter, like a nimble deer in the woods, walking through the quiet forest.
"It seems a bit far, let's run."
Because I had been away from the village for too long, it would take a very long time to walk if I continued walking.
Although Ying had developed a strong patience during the long period of loneliness, today, she didn't want to wait even a minute longer.
The frozen limbs gradually warmed up, and under the bright moonlight, the cherry-pink light seemed to condense into a substantial evening breeze, drifting slowly into the distance.
After a long time, Ying stopped at the entrance of the village.
The moonlight fell almost unreservedly on the small house inside.
How much time had passed in this world? Ying didn't know, perhaps decades, or perhaps hundreds or thousands of years.
This was the only incident.
Just as she was about to step into the village, Ying paused for a few seconds and straightened her disheveled clothes.
After everything was ready, Sakura slowly walked into the village and moved towards the house bathed in moonlight.
"Squeak-"
The door was opened and a lot of dust blew in.
Sakura closed her eyes and used her hands to block the dust, waving it aside.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw a scene that she would never forget.
"You are……?"
Inside the house, a sunny and cheerful boy stood there, looking at her with curiosity.
She found her own kind, a living being.
Li Mo's answer did not receive any verbal response. Almost instantly, Ying stepped in front of Li Mo and hugged him tightly with both hands, but realized that she was using too much force and quickly reduced the strength a little.
"Very good……"
"Very good……"
Ying cried with joy and knelt on the ground. She rubbed her pretty face against Li Mo's shoulder, and her voice was particularly moving.
She was finally no longer alone.
Li Mo was slightly stunned, smiled indifferently, reached out his hand, put it on Ying's shoulder and patted it gently.
Feeling the slight trembling of Ying's delicate body made Li Mo even more confused.
This dream is too real.
But what surprised Li Mo even more was that he actually knew he was dreaming, and his cognition was very clear now. It couldn't be said to be like being in reality, but it was almost the same.
A hazy feeling lingered in his head, as if he could wake up immediately if he wanted to.
"Don't cry... You make me feel guilty."
"Sorry……"
Sakura apologized immediately, and it wasn't a reflex.
She didn't want the other person to get angry and leave, leaving her alone here again.
The two hugged each other for a long time before Ying reluctantly stood up and looked at the person in front of her.
Memories of the past came flooding back. I had met the other person several times in real life, and he had helped me with some small favors.
But that didn't matter anymore, she no longer felt much about the reality of the past.
Ying only knew that Li Mo, who appeared in this world, was the proof that she felt alive.
"My name is Li Mo. What about you? You look very similar to a friend I know. But... that was a long time ago, and she has been missing for a long time. Like you, she was a very beautiful girl. To be honest, I was quite attracted to her when I first saw her. I think... she must be as beautiful as you when she grows up." Li Mo spoke naturally, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
In reality, Li Mo was sleeping and subconsciously thought that this was a dream, so he spoke without restraint.
Ying pursed her lips and asked tentatively, "Is her name Ying? She has a younger sister named Ling."
Li Mo asked in surprise: "How do you know? Wait, you're like this..."
Li Mo walked closer and stood in front of Ying to observe her carefully. He felt that she looked familiar at first glance, and the more he looked, the more similar she seemed.
The only difference is that the naive little girl of eleven or twelve years old has now grown into a graceful young lady. No... it is not an exaggeration to say that she still has her charm. She has already surpassed the scope of a girl and looks more like Sakura who is about twenty years old.
But it has only been three years since she disappeared. Even if the girl matures early, she can't be this early.
Too domineering.
"cherry?"
