Chapter 579: Calm and Peaceful
Chapter 579: Calm and Peaceful
He came to the roof and saw her leaning against the guardrail, looking at the unreachable horizon, her back looked lonely and frail. "...Have you made a decision?" "Of course." Makise's voice was calm, although Su Yue found that there was uneasiness hidden in her shaking shoulders. "Hey."
After a long silence, she turned around and faced Su Yue again, "Do you think I'm still alive now? Or am I dead in my dream?" "What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Yue came to her side and looked up at the clouds in the sky, avoiding her eyes. "From the moment I met you, after hearing you tell me the truth that I was dead, I have been immersed in nightmares many times."
Her voice was like a dream bubble that could be blown away by a gust of wind. "It was a nightmare that seemed like a lifetime ago. I was in a dark and cold space, and only my chest could feel a trace of residual warmth." "I can't remember the specific content, but I clearly felt the grief and loss, which flooded my chest like a tide..." Su Yue's face was covered with a layer of haze.
"You're frowning again." The fingertips lightly touched Su Yue's face and pressed his brows. He looked at Makise in surprise. She stared at him, and put her other hand on his forehead, trying to smooth out his frown. "Don't be like this," the assistant raised a bitter smile, "Since I joined your laboratory, perhaps fate has been arranging everything."
Makise doesn't believe in fate, but at this moment her heart feels the subtle touch of destiny. Even if she returns to that dream, with him by her side, perhaps she won't have any regrets... "This is my choice, as your partner, an expression of my will across dimensions."
Su Yue knew it very well.
Those dreams that the assistant dreamed of were exactly the facts that Makise Hongchasu personally experienced in the context of β reality.
In a single universe structure, even if the reality line is constantly changing, people's memories cannot be completely cleansed, they are only covered but not erased.
Occasionally, fragments of other realities will intrude into the existing time stream, either through dreams, or through flashback-like hallucinations or strange familiarity.
There is a definition for this, which is called the visual experience.
For those who are unfamiliar with the concept of multiple realities, déjà vu is nothing more than a physiological illusion. Only Su Yue is able to clearly realize that this actually happened in another reality.
It is the memory that travels to the present self, or is awakened from the depths of the soul.
Makise Kochasu must have seen through this, as she would never be the type to seek sympathy for a nightmare.
She realized that it was an experience from another reality, and perhaps even experienced the despair on the edge of the abyss.
Even so, she chose to help him get back to that line of reality.
"you..."
Su Yue looked at her with complicated feelings.
“Why did you decide to do this?”
Their relationship was not as long-lasting as in the original drama, although he had planned to win her heart and make her the other half of his life. But the process was too fast, which made him doubtful.
Is it really so natural?
Of course, he was confident that even if he returned to the beta reality where she met with misfortune, he would be able to save her. However, for her, this was all unknown.
For her, returning to the β reality line means that she has died there and no longer exists in the world.
Under such circumstances, what kind of determination did she have to agree to this plan?
"Hmm? I just want to correct the disorder of this world line."
Makise Hongchasu withdrew her hand and looked into the distance again. However, Su Yue caught the sign that she was avoiding his questioning.
Looking at her forced determination, he felt unhappy.
We are partners fighting side by side, so why not speak out about our fears and weaknesses?
If it were someone else who didn't know the plot, who in this world could easily see through the truth in your heart?
Is it necessary to go through countless cycles and hurt each other before the door to spiritual connection can be opened?
This might be quite dramatic for the work, but he didn't want to go through such a tortuous journey!
“Actually, you’re scared too, right?”
"...I, I don't understand what you are talking about."
“Look at me!”
Su Yue grabbed her shoulders and turned her body around. Makise Hongchasu, who had no time to dodge, met his gaze, her wet eyes exposed.
Even she couldn't remain as calm as usual when faced with the reality of impending death.
"What are you doing......"
Makise Kochasu tried to break free, but his grip was as firm as an anchor chain. Even with such force, she didn't feel any pain in her shoulders.
Even in this situation, he still cared about her feelings.
Obviously, she is just a woman who has passed away...
Gradually, Makise Kochasu's struggles weakened, and her head quietly sank. A stream of clear liquid slid down her face, and her thin shoulders trembled slightly.
The sound was barely audible in her mouth, but it was as clear as a thread to Su Yue's keen hearing:
"What can I do? I am afraid too!"
“Death is cold and lonely. If you haven’t experienced it yourself, you might be able to calmly say that you don’t care. But it is really terrible and chilling…”
"I survived with difficulty and experienced this unforgettable dream. The absurd birth of the time machine, meeting people from the future and foreigners..."
“I even wondered if all this was just my near-death fantasy.”
