At present, the three of them live in peace. The only difference is that Beichen is in poor health and hardly leaves home.
It seems that the only one who was sacrificed was her sister Sakura.
Ling knew that this was the only way.
If he hadn't picked up the knife at that time, his sister would have died and been replaced by a fake person, becoming a ghost with only a cherry blossom skin and memories.
Anyway, at least I know my sister is still alive...
Looking at Ling with dim eyes and silent face, Li Mo was stunned. He stretched out his hand and then withdrew it.
After a brief hesitation, Li Mo said to Ling, "I saw Ying in my dream."
The voice stopped abruptly, and Ling immediately turned around and walked to Li Mo's bedside, "Brother, are you kidding? No... It's normal to see it, after all, it's just a dream..."
Li Mo hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I did see Ying in my dream, and the dream gave me a very strange feeling. It didn't seem to be a dream. Uh... I don't know how to describe it."
Ling didn't care about this and walked to the door to leave.
She guessed that Li Mo had simply dreamed of some unsightly scenes, and that the subject was his own sister. Forget it, there was no need to delve into it…
Before leaving, Ling reminded Li Mo: "I've dreamt of my sister many times. In my dreams, we went to school together, ate together, slept together, and lived an ordinary life... But dreams are just dreams after all. I just want to see my sister in reality."
"Bang." The door closed and the room fell into darkness.
Li Mo was at a loss. He turned on the bedroom light and looked at his hands in confusion.
Sakura's image suddenly appeared in my mind.
She has a calm demeanor, but the smile on her face always carries a hint of sadness...
Her behavior is completely different from the innocent and dull Sakura in my memory...
He glanced at the time and it was already six in the morning. There was still more than an hour before school started and he was still a little sleepy, but Li Mo didn't want to sleep anymore.
Li Mo decided not to fall asleep until he had sorted out the dream that allowed him to enter and exit freely.
He was afraid that his dream self would be overcome by desire and do something "bad" to Sakura.
"Hmm..." Li Mo murmured.
The Sakura in the dream was too docile and proactive. She knelt on the ground, nodding and lowering her eyebrows like a slave, submitting in front of him.
As long as he wanted, he could do whatever he wanted to her, but reason and morality told Li Mo not to do so.
"I'd better change my name to Liuxiahui Mo. Really, Ling is right. It's probably just a dream. I probably won't see you tonight. What a pity..." Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't tell whether he felt regret or relief.
Maybe he should be bolder in his dream. It was just a dream anyway, and no one would know as long as he didn't tell anyone.
If you miss this time, there may not be a next time.
Li Mo put on his clothes and got out of bed. When he passed Beichen's closed room in the corridor, he couldn't help but stop.
"Squeak-"
Li Mo gently opened the door, leaving a small gap without making too much noise.
In the room, Beichen was sleeping peacefully on the bed, with pure white sheets covering his graceful body.
Beichen's face was pale, even paler than the sheets. The golden light from the window shone on his flawless skin, the only sign of life he could see.
Li Mo closed the door silently and walked towards the kitchen.
"We have plenty of time. Let's not go out to buy breakfast today. Let's make something nutritious. Sister Beichen needs to eat something good."
Li Mo performed a series of cooking tasks skillfully.
Ever since Beichen brought Ling home, Ling has been doing the housework, and cooking is still entirely left to him, with Ling helping out occasionally.
Life was very ordinary, and I grew up like an ordinary child.
During these three years, Beichen told Li Mo about the Fire Moth, the collapse, and... ghosts.
However, those were too far away from an ordinary person like him, and a high-ranking organization like the Fire Moth was beyond his reach.
Natural disasters like the Collapse are often seen on TV, but they don't occur very frequently, and there are Fire Moths to deal with them, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
As for the last mentioned ghost...
Logically speaking, if Beichen hadn't repeatedly emphasized that she was not joking, Li Mo would have advised her to go to a psychiatric hospital for a check-up to see if she had delusions.
Who cares if it's a ghost or not? If you can't afford to offend, can't you just hide away? If you see abnormal people and animals, just run away.
He didn't want to get involved in such a thrilling life.
The only thing that worried Li Mo was Beichen's health. The hospital examination showed that everything was normal, at least that was what the doctor said.
After cooking, Li Mo came to Beichen's door and knocked gently, then pushed the door open and walked in, putting the food on the bedside table.
At this time, Beichen woke up, sat on the bed and stared at Li Mo calmly. His pale face did not show a trace of blood, and he looked withered.
"Sister Beichen, this is today's breakfast. I'll put it here and go to school first."
"Well, have a safe trip."
After leaving Beichen's bedroom, Li Mo saw Ling already sitting at the dining table enjoying breakfast.
"Brother, do you think I had a midnight snack last night and couldn't eat breakfast, so you made so many delicious dishes?" Ling puffed up her cheeks and ate while talking.
Li Mo said innocently, "No, I just made some since we have plenty of time. Let's eat quickly and go to school together after we finish eating."
"Oh."
Ling turned her attention to eating. She stared at the food in the bowl without blinking.
Li Mo was the same, he couldn't forget Ying Humei's proactive look last night.
Suddenly, Ling said, "Brother, please be more restrained. If you really can't do it, I'll buy you a cup."
Li Mo's face was filled with gloom. "I'll cut off your internet access for three days. It's for your own good."
"Oh? No, I was just kidding." When Ling heard that Li Mo was going to disconnect the Internet, she quickly admitted her mistake.
How can she survive without the Internet?
"I don't even know what you've been learning online all day. Your teacher told me that you spend at least half of your class time playing with your phone. If it weren't for your good grades, I would never have turned a blind eye." Li Mo taught Ling righteously, even though he also played on his phone and his grades were not as good as Ling's.
But so what? We must be open and aboveboard with our double standards!
In response, Ling turned her head away and said with disdain: "I have already learned all the knowledge in middle school. Going to class is just a waste of time. I might as well do something I like."
"Okay, okay, I don't mean to blame you. I mean... do it discreetly, you know."
"So, brother, you're not going online anymore?"
"Of course, I still have to play games myself."
"...Get my feelings back, you bastard Li Mo!"
Along the way, the two of them quarreled and moved forward.
Feeling that it was not enough, Ling jumped onto Li Mo's back and asked him to carry her to school.
Although they are the same age, Ling's development is all focused on her brain, which makes her look younger than her peers. She couldn't compare to Ying in elementary school, let alone junior high school.
Li Mo's mouth twitched. The Ying in his dream had a mature figure like Beichen, which was not comparable to Ling, a little kid.
"Ouch! Why are you biting me?"
"I don't know, I always feel like you're thinking about something bad."
"How do you know? No, I don't have it!"
"Brother, you are too dull. Don't underestimate women's intuition."
"Are you a woman, Xiao Xiaoling?"
"...Maybe. Unlike someone who has wild thoughts in his head all day long."
"You slandered me? I'm angry, the kind that can't be appeased."
"Isn't this what I should say..."
The two of them quarreled every day, and when Li Mo couldn't win the argument, he would pinch Ling's face to let her know who was the boss of the family.
While chatting, Li Mo put Ling down and the two walked into the campus side by side.
The study tasks are not heavy and the pressure is not great, and school ends in the afternoon.
But this is not the life of a senior high school student in China. You have to get up at 5:30, do your homework and go to bed at 12 o'clock, take a half-hour lunch break, are not allowed to go to the bathroom or sleep on the desk after class, are not allowed to drink water during class, are not allowed to bring snacks into school, have points and money deducted, have a small test every week, and a big test every month...
Li Mo read a post online about how in some parts of China, the third year of high school was more terrifying than seeing a ghost...
During class, Li Mo lay on the table and felt very bored. He couldn't concentrate on the boring content and decided to play with his phone for a while.
Li Mo skillfully took out his cell phone from the drawer and placed it at the bottom of the corner between the piles of books on the table.
This has an advantage, if the teacher comes down, you can immediately push the phone in.
Of course, he hadn't encountered such a situation yet, and the teacher didn't seem to care what he was doing.
It was probably that Beichen had greeted the school or something, but Beichen didn't seem like the type of person who would greet others. However, the teacher's attitude made Li Mo feel too casual.
whatever.
Li Mo carried his schoolbag and walked along the school corridor.
He is going to pick Ling up and take her home.
At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun stretched Li Mo's shadow very long, so long that... one could see his figure at different times in the shadow.
The slender shadow gradually changed, began to shrink, and finally turned into a narrow black line.
The next second, the black line suddenly disappeared, and Li Mo lost his shadow.
Then the shadow returned again, but it was different from its previous shape and more like the shadow of an adult.
Li Mo felt dizzy and saw some bloody scenes in a trance.
It was a peach forest, with particularly lush peach trees, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
His perspective was very low, as if he was crawling on the ground.
Suddenly, Li Mo turned around and saw people coming and going around him, and there were students leaving school all around him.
"Is it an illusion..." Li Mo murmured softly, not taking it to heart.
For him, strange feelings have happened more than once since he was a child. When he was a child, he asked his classmates around him, and everyone seemed to have this feeling, so Li Mo did not take it seriously.
Going up the wrong floor, looking in the mirror and feeling like your reflection has come alive, or taking the elevator to a floor that doesn't exist.
Fortunately, Sister Beichen is always with me, and illusions are always illusions.
And last night I had an inexplicable number of strange dreams about coming and going freely, but I guess it was just a coincidence, and I probably won’t have it tonight.
Li Mo took Ling home and planned to go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients before going home.
It was getting close to evening and the supermarket was crowded. Li Mo held Ling's hand and walked through the crowd, but they were unable to buy any meat for a long time.
Because of the collapse, many ingredients are sometimes in short supply. Some practical foods can only be bought during the day on specific days. If you come at night, they will have been bought up by others.
The clamor and bustle of the crowd made Li Mo a bit impatient. Beichen needed to replenish its nutrition right now, so a combination of meat and vegetables was best. He had already eaten the remaining meat this morning, so if he couldn't find meat at the supermarket, tonight's dinner might be a bit meager.
"Duang! Duang!"
The sound of the kitchen knife hitting the chopping board was particularly noticeable. Li Mo was a little confused and looked around. Everyone seemed to be used to it and did not pay any attention.
Would a supermarket manager allow such barbaric cutting of meat in a stall in the supermarket? This isn't a wet market...
"Would you like some pork?" asked the butcher.
"How do you buy it?" Li Mo continued.
Just as he was about to step forward to talk to him, Yaozi was hit hard by his elbow.
"Brother, what are you doing standing there? If you don't order quickly, the food will be sold out!" Ling said angrily.
"Ah? Isn't there something else..." Li Mo turned around and looked back at the place where the butcher was, but found that there was nothing there, only the bare floor, "This..."
"Don't be dazed, let's go, what we need is there!" Ling pulled Li Mo towards the southeast of the supermarket.
After shopping in the supermarket and buying food, when he was about to leave, Li Mo couldn't help but look back, and the place was still empty.
