As Su Otome thought about it, her vague memory suddenly became clearer: Where did she come from? From... the bridge? Why was she on the bridge? Why was the bridge made of fish bones?
When she realized that she began to sympathize with Asha and the people in this world, the pain accumulated in her heart also melted away unknowingly...
“I really envy you guys.”
Asha suddenly said, "If I could be you for one day, I would be as sad as I can be, crying like a survivor. For my family, my friends, my lover..." Su Otome noticed that the other party was no longer concealing her words, and wanted to remind her, but she picked up a book on the table and started reading.
'I had a dream, swimming in a dark blue, clear sea...'
'I look for the light from the horizon, which clothes every seaweed.'
There is an unconcealable sadness in her light voice. It seems that the arrival of Su Otome gave her courage. The cautious girl who never dared to keep a trace of emotion in her heart, released her hysteria that she had hidden for a long time by reading poetry.
'I planted the lotus in the mud,'
'The drowned sunflowers never saw the dawn.'
Her sadness grew stronger and stronger, and her fingers could hardly hold the book - her skin was like melted grease and wax, dripping onto the carpet, making a sound like breaking glass.
'The poet drew his sword and stabbed his eye,'
'He said there was no need for an eternal moon.'
She melted faster and faster, and before Sugiyama could open the door and call for help, clusters of water droplets formed into strings and submerged her chest and moved towards her neck.
“Be good to me…!”
She burst into tears.
Su Otome vaguely heard these words, and when she turned around, there was only light green ashes on the blanket.
Like the color of seaweed.
At this time, the door was violently kicked open with a "clang" sound, and several guys who looked like soldiers with swords hanging on their sides surrounded them. The leading man had an uneven beard on his chin. He looked at the ashes on the ground, and sent a soldier to carefully collect them with a small shovel and put them into the arms of another soldier holding a wooden box.
The whole process was done quietly and no one made any unnecessary noise.
Then, he turned around and looked at Su Otome with a bad expression.
"You should go, outsider." He said sullenly. "You are a lucky boy."
The soldiers surrounded the girl, led her out of the door, and went back the way they had come. The people on the road seemed to be just as unsurprised by the sight of her being escorted by soldiers as before. They were even more indifferent than when she came. At most, they would occasionally look back and pass by.
His sight was filled with emotions the girl couldn't understand.
"Sorry, it's not me..." Su Otome tried to explain the cause of death of the girl named Asa, but the man in the lead shook his head and told her that they all knew what happened.
"…What's the meaning?"
"You are one person." The leader of the soldiers slapped his scabbards, his tone still not very happy. "In two parallel worlds, she is another you."
Stop joking——!
Su Otome looked at the leader in surprise and staggered a little.
"This is the oldest ritual. When someone on one side can no longer hold on, before leaving, they will call on their other self." He supported Su Otome with his armor-covered leather gloves, his eyes full of complexity. He said:
"From today on, you are a double of you."
This joke was not that funny. The girl carefully looked at the man's eyes and nose, from forehead to chin, left ear to right ear - she tried to find some "signs of lying" to prove that he was joking.
However, the man was like a stone and did not reveal any emotions to her, as if the girl was another stone and was discussing with him which mountain to live in seclusion.
In silence, they arrived at the forest and stepped on the mud where fragrant bubbles were rising. The man drew the scimitar from his waist and slashed it in the air a few times. The transparent and colorless door reflected the knife light and came as expected.
"Let's go, outsider." He gently pushed Su Otome's shoulder.
The girl hesitated, wanting to get inspiration from the man. How should she live, how should she breathe? Ah Sha, where in my body?
Do you want to go to the hospital?
Will she talk to me and encourage me?
"Take her through things she has never dared to do and has never experienced. Outsider, remember, you are a double you."
I stepped in amid the shoving and pushing, and when I looked back, all that was left were colorful skyscrapers replacing the stars in the night, and the herringbone bridge was still empty.
"absurd!"
Su Otome jumped up and yelled without any manners, hoping that someone would respond from the darkness - she no longer cared about that. And the emotions that controlled her in the darkness were like fragile hemp ropes that were cut off by the knife light condensed from anger.
"Absurd! Ridiculous!"
The only responses she got were the vibration of the bridge deck and the thumping sound of steel.
"absurd!"
"When someone on one side can no longer hold on, before leaving, they will call out to themselves in another world" - the man's voice was still circling in her mind.
Who, who is it?
Is it me or Asa?
Who called whom?
How was this rule without a beginning or an end established?
"absurd!"
The wind blew on the herringbone bridge, awakening the soul immersed in the neon lights.
She saw the phantom of Asha waving at her under the bridge, in the river of broken limbs and rotting flesh. So, she stepped on the railing with her canvas shoes and jumped down.
"It's so ridiculous. What's good about that world?"
She grumbled, but still held her arms open.
In a violent fall.
Opened his eyes.
Chapter 199 Awakening
"Success?"
"Of course I have failed before."
"Tojo Aoi."
"It was an accident, Nagini... I was young and ignorant—"
"Yinglili."
"You are not allowed to wash my feet today, or you will see a stinking snake."
The dream thieves didn't need a nurse. They pulled out the needles themselves and quietly got out of bed, leaving the space alone for Saito and his daughter who was about to wake up.
In the dream constructed by Mori Yuesha, Cobb and Arthur barely existed as filler figures, NPCs walking around on the road - the two top dream masters were completely convinced by her this time.
You have to know that "building a dream" is not something that can be done with imagination alone. There is a very interesting rule in the dream builder's taboos: it is not allowed to build common scenes in reality in dreams.
For example, if you live near Sensoji Temple, you can certainly build the Eiffel Tower in your dreams, but you can never build a Nakamise Shopping Street. An overly familiar environment can make the builder unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.
The implications of this rule are even more stringent.
That is: it is difficult for dreamers to "discover" (build) things they have never seen before. They mostly copy what they remember, or at most modify it.
The maze that Miles built before was based on some features of the Longleat Hedge, which is why Cobb and Arthur were so surprised by the dream created by Mori Yuesha.
A city without pain and sadness, a magical rabbit selling balloons, a watchmaker repairing fruits, a surfing (cloud) game, a land where pink bubbles pop out when you step on it, a hollow tree, ice-cold and boiling water...
This is no longer a problem that can be explained by "strong imagination".
This kid…
Have you ever really seen such a world?
To this, Mori Yuesha just laughed and replied. In the eyes of a slightly off-line planeswalker, the world often folds into countless fantastic and interesting scenes from another angle in front of her eyes.
What she saw were overlapping yet completely different dimensions. This strange, terrifying, and bizarre multi-dimensional perspective could only be endured by "a few special" creatures.
Only a few doctors and Mr. Saito were left in the main room. They had no idea what the man had talked about with his daughter who had just woken up, and he hadn't appeared for a whole day.
After spending a night in the manor, the next day, they finally met the eldest princess who was the heiress to two conglomerates.
Suotome Ai.
A girl who is about the same age as Mori Yuesa. She has a soft face and a slightly cold look like her father. She has a princess-like hairstyle and a thin body.
In the banquet room, she bowed deeply to Mori Yuesha and her group.
"I will always remember your life-saving grace."
The girl was sitting on the carpet in a loose hospital gown, touching the ground with her hands in a salute.
Mori Yuesa rolled her eyes, thoughtfully.
"Hey... Nagini..."
The maid ignored her.
"If Nagini were sitting down..."
Nagini knew what she was going to say with her tongue. She gently pinched the soft flesh on her waist and twisted it 180 degrees.
No matter what, Mori Yuesha is also Mr. Saito's savior. The wealthy and powerful tycoon said that except for Cobb's small matters, he would agree to anything else Mori Yuesha could do as long as he could.
Also...there's nothing I want.
How about some gems? Little golden beans? Or…
"It's still the little Jiejie with long legs and thin waist, uh-huh..."
No.
You can't see a single hair of the little sister, Mori Yuesha. There are two loli wizards staring at you, and one of them is missing at home. You have used up your quota of "females" in this world.
"When did I have such a thing as 'quota'?"
"Now."
Arrietty gave Nagini a thumbs up from a distance.
What else can we do? Our master has a spoon-like personality and scoops food here and there. Soon the house will be full.
Collect more of the other types. Nagini thinks Hera is pretty good.
It doesn't take up space, is energy-efficient, and won't compete with her for favor.
"I watch Asa every night."
Visual fetish, you perverted AI...
All in all, it was a good thing. Except for Mori Tsukisa and Delacorne, everyone else at the table was smart, and the dinner was lively with Saito and Cobb chatting away. Afterwards, the shrewd businessman began to promote his daughter, who had just recovered from her illness, and wanted her to interact more with Cobb's children.
Information about the Miles family is so easy to find. Since this wizard lady gets along well with them, my daughter can also do it. Even if the wizard leaves, there will always be...something left behind, right...?
Hope it's not trouble.
"Arthur is the check. Cobb... I have asked someone to prepare a growth fund." Saito wiped his mouth, looked at Cobb, and smiled: "For your two children. It's worth over 100 million."
"Ms. Mori Yuesa, what do you want?"
The rabbit spirit opened his mouth and felt the threatening look from the maid in his peripheral vision - 'If you dare to ask for a young lady, I will kill you'.
"Well little...gem, how's it going?"
Hermione tilted her head and laughed at her: "Professor, you are a coward."
"Not at all. I'm just worried that Nagini will be angry and cause trouble. What's the matter? Without a maid, you can serve me at night."
The little lion said he could give it a try.
"Of course only purebloods are eligible." Draconian curled her lips.
The three girls exchanged glances, and Ai Suotome on the opposite side suddenly spoke:
"Are they the lovers you have prepared for yourself?"
As soon as the voice fell, two burning gazes were immediately directed at Mori Yuesha——
Mori Yuesha nodded: "No, we're just friends."
