Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

He did not use his ghost vision. After meeting them again after a long separation, he wanted to see them with his own eyes.

Li Mo searched all the rooms but still didn't see anyone.

There were no cobwebs in the room, and when one placed one's fingers on the table one could find only a speck of dust.

They didn't leave for long, but... they never came back either.

Li Mo came to this conclusion and his body suddenly stiffened. He stood motionless in his room, looking at the phone on the cabinet that was emitting a strange aura.

"[Wish] insight."

Li Mo opened his eyes and focused his gaze on his phone.

This phone was commissioned by Mei to be made by Tianming, and the battery life is sufficient, but thirty years is too long for a phone to last to this extent.

If there was anything special, it was probably the message Mei typed in that made Li Mo more concerned.

However, Mei had warned me that it could only be opened when I was about to lose consciousness and become strange.

So far, there has either been no opportunity or the requirements have not been met.

I have never opened this message.

The last person to take over was the fictional Mei.

"There are traces of a 'wish' on it, but there were no traces of a 'wish' before I left, which means it was made after I left."

"She made a wish—that this phone would always be in use?"

Li Mo walked forward and picked up the phone on the cabinet. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to open the recording left by Mei.

Everything has been settled, and the secrets that we were curious about at the beginning should be revealed one by one.

The file name is - "To the new Mo".

Li Mo's eyes fell on the concise yet meaningful file name and he was silent for a long time.

The air around seemed to become heavy with the silence.

In the long silence, memories of the past surged like a tide.

Those days of laughter and tears, those moments of fighting side by side, and those irreparable regrets left by misunderstandings and missed opportunities——

The first dinner party after building a small home in Changkong City, the nearly full-scale deployment of people in the haunted house to delay Guiqi, and Mei dying on the street, her body constantly collapsing and finally falling in a pool of blood...

Every scene is so clear, as if it happened just yesterday.

The modification date was thirty years ago, the day he just returned from the haunted house world.

At that time, the weirdness of the Eigenworld had not yet spread, and his relationship with Mei had not broken down. It was the eve of Shigure Kirara's departure for St. Freya Academy to deal with the fantasy ghost.

Li Mo's fingers gently stroked the keys and opened the file.

It's a recording of only thirty seconds.

Two people with the same voice are having a conversation - the fictional Mei and Mei.

"Things without reason still exist, and useless actions continue to occur as usual. Even when the answer is obvious, those who need to choose still make the wrong choice."

"He'll understand, Doctor. You've done enough."

"No, it's not enough... Compared to him, what I can do is insignificant."

"That was just your guess, Doctor. And...it's a blessing in disguise that it was confirmed. So, Doctor, why did you write down the name 'Drowning Man' in his strange file?"

"Nameless and vain, eerie miniatures... these are very childish, I don't think they are suitable."

"What does 'drowning man' mean?"

"The so-called 'drowning person': heading towards inevitable death, yet struggling for the little happiness of life, feeling the endless pain of suffocation, infinitely approaching death yet still struggling to live."

"Is it misfortune? Or is it luck?"

"I don't know whether the future will be a dazzling world of fireworks or a hopeless hell. Only those who keep moving forward and survive to the end will know. But... this road has no end. No matter how many times I die, my fate will only approach infinity, but will never reach eternity."

"None of us could be with him until the end."

The recording stopped abruptly and there was no follow-up.

"Drowning person." Li Mo repeated this name over and over again, then laughed dumbly, "But, everyone is like this."

The "protagonists" who have all the advantages of time, place and people, and are blessed with natural advantages, who overcome all obstacles and finally are crowned, are ultimately a minority. Most of them only exist in the world with a complete destiny.

The fate of any strange world is incomplete. By the next reincarnation, the pollution will become more and more serious, and people will have to try their best just to survive.

Granted, things will be different each time, but the despair and pain will not diminish.

Just like desire does not disappear just because it is satisfied.

Not only him, there are many more people who are exhausting everything for that little bit of happiness.

Like an immortal drowning man, he kept struggling to get back to the surface, but kept falling uncontrollably.

When he woke up from the coma, he faced endless resistance and failure.

This road has no end, and every inch of the steps is littered with corpses.

Even so, he will not give up and will not regret it.

If I could see them again, it would all be worth it.

Weird is fair.

Their waiting in darkness and loneliness has now become Li Mo's cause and effect.

Next, it was his turn to wait in darkness and solitude.

“Make a wish…”

Li Mo made a wish and gained the vision of a ghost, his sight instantly covering the entire planet.

When he saw several people in different places, his doubts about why no one was at home disappeared in an instant.

I came back too late...

Li Mo looked lonely and immediately made a wish to go to where Alicia was.

The night is as dark as ink, and everything is silent.

The beach is gently covered with a soft and deep pink veil, and the whole world seems to be immersed in a quiet dream.

The waves gently hit the edge of the beach, and every touch made a whispering sound, like a farewell song, distant and peaceful.

A broken crescent moon hung in the dark sky, almost condensed into substance, casting a pure white glow on the sea. The shimmering light reflected in Li Mo's eyes, so dazzling...

Alicia, wearing a light white dress, stands out in this quiet picture.

Barefoot, I stood quietly on the incoming tide, my ankles submerged in the gentle waves.

The sea breeze, slightly salty and cool, gently brushes across the tips of my hair.

Strands of pink hair danced on the swan's neck like little elves.

In the moonlight, Alicia looked particularly lonely and tenacious as she continued to walk towards the sea, like a crystal flower blooming alone in the dark night.

Not far behind her, Li Mo stood silently, his eyes never leaving Alicia's back.

"Alicia."

Li Mo suddenly spoke up and called out to Alicia.

The moment she heard the voice, Alicia turned sideways, with an imperceptible surprise and expectation in her movements.

Under the moonlight, her smile was bright and brilliant, as if lighting up the entire night.

"Xiao Xiaomo, you're here~" Alicia's voice was light and pleasant, with a hint of coquettishness and intimacy.

Li Mo walked forward slowly, pursed his lips, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Alicia's words.

"What a pity... Xiao Xiaomo, you came too late, too late."

As she spoke, Alicia extended her hand to Li Mo.

But she was not inviting Li Mo to hold her hand, but to show Li Mo her current condition.

A crystal flower was suspended in the palm of the hand. Although the surface was intact, the inside was visibly rotten.

It was extremely dim, with only the last ray of pink light in the center flickering, and it could go out at any time.

"I can..." Li Mo was about to say that he could make amends by "making a wish", but he immediately realized where the "wishing" came from.

If it were really possible, Mei would have done it long ago and would not have given herself the chance to make a wish.

Li Mo hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can take you to find someone. Although it can't be cured, it can suppress the pollution to a great extent. You and everyone else can live longer..."

The Hellfire comes from Irene. As long as she takes action, she will be able to delay Alicia's death to a great extent.

Hearing this, Alicia put away the crystal flower, put her hands behind her back, and her smile remained bright.

"Paduo and Can are sleeping peacefully. We agreed that after completing our last journey, we would sleep together and not cause more trouble for others. Look, they are here. Aren't they cute?"

Alicia turned around completely, and in her arms were the silent Padu Phyllis and Can.

Alicia held Paddy in her arms, while Can curled up and slept in the arms of her owner Phyllis.

If Khorne is left unchecked, it will bring great harm to the people of this world.

Although Li Mo didn't know how Alicia wanted to ensure that she would become silent after becoming weird, it was obvious... she planned to use her "divinity" after becoming weird to curb "Khorne".

It is called traveling, but in fact it is to find a suitable one for yourself.

Boneyard.

"But..." Li Mo stretched out his hand, trying to keep her, "I'm the only one left..."

Alicia closed her eyes and walked deeper into the sea.

The tide was rising and the water was knee-deep.

"Ah, are you thinking... that as long as you keep this up you can keep talking to me?"

"That's so bad! I'll really cry if you touch a girl's heartstrings like this..."

"Okay, it's okay."

“When you don’t want to move forward, just stop.”

"Then look beside you, look behind you. We are always here, just like we were back then, right~"

Alicia gently placed Padu on the sea, clasped her hands together and whispered softly.

The pale lips moved, and Pado and the can, which were originally floating on the water, slowly fell down.

Soon, Alicia walked deeper into the water, the sea water reached her shoulders, and if she went any further, she would be completely lost.

"Wait a minute! Alicia!"

Li Mo started running, ready to rush into the sea to pull back Alicia.

However, I suddenly stopped at the boundary between the beach and the sea, and when I came to my senses, I found that there was an extra rule prohibiting entry.

Li Mo clenched his fists, and just as he raised them, he saw Alicia smiling and shaking her head.

Her body was rapidly decaying, and her vitality was flowing out of her body unrestrainedly, spreading towards the deep sea...

Chapter 17 Time is the most ruthless weirdness

Li Mo's fist slowly loosened and dropped, like withered weeds drooping their heads.

This is a barrier formed by Alicia's strange ability - "divinity", which can block and suppress strangeness.

Li Mo knew very well that he only needed to mobilize "Wish" and then lightly punch it to break it easily.

The pollution levels of the two are not at the same level.

But he didn't do that.

Because when he breaks this barrier, Alicia will lose all consciousness and immediately become weird.

That was not what Li Mo expected.

Rather than living in this world as a strange being, voluntarily dying as a human being is more in line with Alicia's character, and it's the choice she made at this moment...

What Alicia hopes to leave behind is never sadness and regret, terror and despair, but courage and hope, beauty and brilliance, to encourage Li Mo to move forward.

She wanted to die, and she died voluntarily.
