Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

"What's going on?" Mei was confused. When she reached out to help the paper man up, the man turned into a pool of blood and slowly flowed into the stream on the side of the street.

Mei ran to the shore in a hurry, but found nothing.

There was still only an unclear black shadow outline on the water surface.

Ghosts cannot be killed, so what does it mean that the paper figure just turned into a pool of blood and flowed into the stream?

Chapter 8: The most glaring gaze is like a familiar feeling in the previous life

Mei stood up and continued to move forward.

Experience told her that this was not an ordinary supernatural event.

From the first ghost he saw near the residential building to the paper ghost that bumped into him, they were all ghosts he had encountered before.

The ghost's outline looked very much like the ghost that would teleport behind you and break your neck if you looked away.

But the pattern of killing has been lost.

I won’t say much about the paper ghosts. I just keep a few of them at home in case of emergency.

"Tick-tock-"

"Tick-tock-"

The sound of water startled Mei from her distraction.

A strange feeling appeared on her body. Mei immediately stretched out her hand and found that her skin was melting into blood, just like the paper ghost just now.

But this change is very slow, and she won't die in a short time.

Then again——

She was just a human body, so why was she more able to resist strange laws than strange bodies? This didn't make sense...

“No time to think.”

If you don't leave quickly, you will end up like the paper ghost sooner or later.

"Gotta speed up."

Mei ran forward quickly. Every time she ran a distance, she would see the ghosts she had encountered before, which further confirmed Mei's guess.

This road has an end.

Because the number of ghosts you encounter is limited, perhaps you can return to reality when you run away and no longer encounter ghosts.

The oppressive environment did not prevent Mei from thinking and acting.

Suddenly, a black shadow passed by and was behind him in a blink of an eye.

Mei's pupils contracted, and she showed a rare look of astonishment. She opened her mouth and said in disbelief, "Paddo Phyllis?"

The next second, Mei dismissed the idea and continued running forward.

"Not me."

Pado cannot leave home, and even if he leaves, he must stay by Alicia's side, otherwise he will soon be unable to suppress the laws of Khorne and will revive into a strange, murderous and restless state, and will never let go of any creature that appears in front of him.

And the Pado whom she had just glimpsed was not looking at her at all.

"Take a look." Mei stopped and looked back.

Can was lying on Paddy's head, sleepy-eyed and seemingly silent.

Padua stood behind her, staring, and when he noticed her, he waved. Just as he opened his mouth to say hello, he turned into a pool of blood and flowed into the stream on the side of the street.

Forget about the paper ghost, after all, its incompleteness is too poor, but Paduo can't even last a second...

Mei examined her condition and found that not only her arms but also her fingers began to melt.

But the process was still slow, so slow that it was only one percent of the rate at which Paddo melted.

"Now is not the time to hesitate. Continue."

Mei didn't stop walking, took a deep breath, and stared straight ahead at the end of the endless street. The dim and cold light of the street lamps on both sides fell gently.

The scenes on both sides of the street flashed by like scenes from a movie: brand new houses, bustling schools, advanced laboratories, an international conference room as small as a child's play, and the occasional chirping of birds at night...

Everything is particularly clear in this quiet night.

Her body was melting more and more, and she was almost turning into a pool of blood.

But it was not like all the ghosts he had seen before, turning into blood in an instant.

Mei's body still remains the same as it was before the collapse.

She didn't know the reason and didn't have time to find out.

Alicia greeted her from the shore, and Mei, who thought support had arrived, walked over.

As long as Alicia uses the "divine" brilliance, she can break the strange space.

But when Mei approached, Alicia also turned into a pool of blood and flowed into the stream.

It’s fake again…

No, it can't be said to be fake...

Mei raised her head. All the things and people on this road did not seem fake. It was very likely that they had existed in the past and were closely related to her.

The further you go, the closer the relationship becomes.

From the ghost he fought against at the beginning, to the subordinate of the Fire Moth later, to the companion who walked side by side and depended on each other for survival...

They all appeared in order according to their importance in her mind.

So... what is at the end?

Mei didn't know, at least for now, what she thought was most important were Alicia and Padua Ferris. They had been reborn from despair together, and they supported and watched over each other in their strange home.

What is beyond this relationship?

Mei couldn't help but quicken her pace and her heartbeat also accelerated.

The scenes on both sides of the street quickly receded from her sight. Every building, every street lamp, and even the occasional falling leaf became a fleeting passerby on her journey. Only one thought prevailed in her mind - what exactly was waiting for her at the end?

This desire burned in her chest like a raging fire, making her unable to stop or look away from the front.

Everyone needs a reason to live - an original motivation to keep themselves moving forward.

For a long time, Mei didn't see anything familiar again.

She was almost at the street's edge.

However, when Mei finally reached the end of the street, breathless and filled with excitement and anticipation, ready to greet the figure waiting for her, the scene before her made her feel a little disappointed. The person standing there was not the familiar face she had imagined, but a strange young man she had never seen before.

He stood there, his figure slim, as if he was also waiting for something.

The only special thing is the pair of truly black eyes.

Under the moonlight, there was not a trace of impurities in the black pupils. They were so deep that they seemed to swallow all the light, and as pure as the transparent surface of the water, reflecting everything that appeared in front of them.

Different from the dark pupils people see in daily life, which often appear dark brown, dark green, dark blue and other color changes due to the refraction of light; the eyes of the boy in front of him are pure, undecorated black.

"..."

Mei felt very strange. Logically speaking, shouldn't the person you meet at the end be the person or thing that you value most?

Was her judgment wrong?

And... I always feel that this figure is very familiar.

"Who are you...?" Mei asked the only living person in front of her.

The young man turned around, looking behind him, and said calmly, "This place will turn everything into nothingness. Staying here will only lead to complete annihilation."

"Walk through here and you can be reborn."

After he finished speaking, Mei walked up to the boy, cupped his cheeks with both hands, and turned his evasive head towards him.

"Then why don't you leave?"

“…I can’t leave.”

"Why can't you leave?"

"Your hands are too sticky, let me go first."

"Put it on after you say so."

Faced with Mei's persistent pursuit, the boy remained silent for a moment before confessing the truth: "Because I'm already dead, and the dead can't return to reality. Okay... leave now, or you'll never be able to leave again."

After saying that, the boy slapped Mei's hand away, walked alone to the stream, and stared at his reflection in the water with a dull look in his eyes.

"...Then I'll leave?"

"Let's go."

The conversation between the two was quite brief.

It was clearly a dull conversation, but it made Mei feel very comfortable, as if... the two of them had once laid on the grassland, gazing up at the starry sky, chatting about each other's dreams, the birth and death of the starry sky, and then the death of the universe and the disappearance of time.

No embellishment, no explanation needed.

"..."

"..."

Mei looked at the visible boundary in front of her. As long as she took one more step forward, she would return to the brightly lit reality.

Only bones were left of the limbs, the flesh and blood had all melted away, and the neck also began to melt.

As he said, if she stayed any longer, she would completely disappear from this world.

A long time passed and there was no sound on the street.

Please don't be bound by sadness anymore

Please don’t dwell on the past anymore.

Please touch my heart

Please abandon everything and keep moving forward.

Please walk away from me.

Li Mo slowly closed his eyes and let his body fall.

He was tired and didn't want to go on any longer. All his efforts were in vain in the end, and everything was fake.

No matter how many times it happens, the ending will not change.

Those who are destined to die will still die, and the heart-wrenching tragedy is still irreversible.

It has nothing to do with effort, nothing to do with will.

"Pain is false, sorrow is false, even death is false..."

Pulled by the thread of fate, the body gradually fell towards the stream.

The moment the tip of his nose touched the water, his body stopped falling and was pulled back to the shore.

"The world is false, but love is real."

"What happened will not disappear, it is just temporarily buried, waiting for someone to dig it out with blood and tears one day."

A gentle and intellectual voice sounded softly behind Li Mo, instantly breaking the tranquility and silence around him.

Li Mocai was immersed in a sudden dream, in which the worlds intertwined and the emotions were complicated.

The sudden call was like thunder across the night sky, and all the fragments of dreams disappeared in an instant, leaving only emptiness.

Li Mo suddenly opened his eyes, with a trace of panic and confusion flashing in his pupils, and then he quickly turned over and got up from the ground.

After standing firm, Li Mo quickly turned around, looking directly at the source of the voice, with a tone of disbelief and anxiety: "Mei? Why are you still here..." Halfway through his words, Li Mo suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. His voice paused slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? Since you know me, why don't you just say it?"

Mei put one hand on her waist, standing straight and elegant, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

It's been a while since I made such a crazy decision.

How long has it been?

Ever since he became the leader of the Fire Moth, he no longer puts personal emotions into decision-making.
