"Well, indeed the injury is not light, hurry up and send me there!" "Yes, the head..."

Another round of explosive arguments broke out in the classroom, getting louder and louder. Under the binding of everyone, Yuanhui was also sent to the health center.

"This health center is such a terrifying place, how did it become so horrifying?" (Me)

"You don't know about this?" The girl who just helped me solve the trouble appeared in front of me. At the moment our eyes met, I could sense her sturdy chest muscles pressing against me just a few millimeters away.

The school uniform in the serene blue color couldn't even contain her proud and awe-inspiring presence on campus.

Curiously, I looked up at her chest, almost falling backward in the process. "Uh, you are..."

"Well, looking at a girl's chest is extremely impolite, you know?" She smiled kindly at me, using her pinky finger to tuck away her blue crystal-like hair that covered her ears.

Everyone in front of me seemed so familiar, even...even...

Just then, a young boy with black hair, Hei Tong, appeared in front of me, grabbing my collar.

"Wake up, old man!!"

Bang!

Even when the world faces destruction, sometimes I still dream—what would it feel like to become a human and start life again?

The human world is filled with darkness, and yet each and every one of us must live on this grand stage, playing our respective roles.

That's how it is...

Simple, naive, ignorant...

Enjoying the sunlight every morning, falling asleep with the rising moon.

"What?! This encounter, created by fate between you and me, it cannot be any less romantic!"

Is this guy crazy? Confessing to a grown man in front of so many people, does he think the righteous bystanders would let him get away with it...it...it!

"Just accept him, you know how difficult it is for a pure-hearted guy to make such a bold confession!" A girl with short hair and eyes even stepped forward to urge me to answer him. But is this guy serious?

"Come on, follow your desires and love to your heart's content!"

"Love your head~!!" I swung my leg and kicked him in the face, but he blocked it with his arm.

"Hmph, very good, but you lack accuracy...wawa!"

Seeing him become complacent, I retracted my left leg and struck him with my other leg—the Holy Dragon Testicle Buster Kick!

"You are still so arrogant, I saw through your mediocre kung fu a long time ago." Now it was my turn to boast and give him a harsh comment.

As the crowd watched him being hit in the family jewels and hopping around in pain, a girl in the crowd shouted, "Ah, quickly send this student to the health center to keep our physics teacher company, he's also about to collapse!"

For a long, long time, I wondered if I was dreaming.

If everything is real, then why is there no endpoint?

The endpoint, this nonexistent thing has become nearly numb to me! Every time it appears in the human world, I think I am dreaming of a world that has already died. I am not living in this world, I am only living with my soul.

Living is so tiring...every day facing countless choices, each decision determining your future, just like a text adventure game. Except...a text adventure game allows you to save and load, but my game only starts from the beginning every time, as if...the save file was wiped clean.

Repetitive life, mundane passers-by, and never-ending work.

Everything is forced upon us by the world, not out of our own will. Maybe we enjoy the generous salary! Or perhaps we aspire to become a leader in the military! However...

All of this is just a simple and foolish drama, without a director to guide you.

None of us can escape the shackles of fate, and fate has never overlooked a human being - except for me!

Since I was young, I've been different from ordinary people. My existence is to witness this world!

Although, initially, I didn't know why my memories would not be lost, I have been making continuous effort to forget.

In my long life, I don't want to always play the role of an observer, a person detached from the constraints of time. Luckily, I haven't remembered too much and gradually forgotten them.

I... I am thankful for forgetting them.

"Youmu..."

Juxi softly called her name, but there was no one to answer him anymore.

"Where are you? Youmu!!"

Sometimes, people have a good memory and like to dwell on things that make them sad or scared. But if one day they can forget, they will regain carefree happiness.

"I... er..."

Juxi suffered from a headache so severe that he wished for death. No matter how much water he splashed on his face or how much he gulped down, it couldn't help him recover.

"Ah, it's useless."

At this moment, a shadow flashed at the door, as if it had been secretly eavesdropping all this time. It disappointed Juxi.

Juxi still couldn't adapt to the injured soul inside him, but he couldn't just let her be so carefree. So, he desperately took off the bracelet from his hand.

"Why won't it come off?"

He suddenly realized that no matter how much force he used, the black bracelet was as if it was connected to his hand. No matter what he did, he couldn't remove it.

After a fight that lasted for more than ten minutes, he finally gave up.

"I... I surrender!"

Juxi looked at the blood seeping from his wrist. He had tried many methods but couldn't take off the bracelet.

Desperate, he had to calm down first, and then groped in his pocket to see if there were any tools...

A cigarette?

After searching for a while, Juxi could only find the cigarette left by Milla.

Sigh...

Click!

"Cough... Cough... As expected, I still can't stand this smell!"

Juxi quickly threw away the cigarette. The smell made him uncomfortable.

"I really don't understand why anyone would like this life-shortening thing. Are those people idiots?"

The situation was starting to become serious.

Perhaps due to his weak immune system, the smell of this thing actually made Juxi's breathing difficult. He had to quickly take deep breaths of fresh air, so as not to faint.

"Ha... Hoo... Ha... Hoo..."

Juxi felt that his breath was difficult now, and his whole body was tense, without any relaxation.

He helplessly shook his head and carefully extinguished the cigarette butt.

...

"If you ask me, that old man is definitely our best choice. Do you believe it?"

"Of course, if I didn't know you, I wouldn't be able to tell the two of you apart."

"Yeah... wait, you mean to say that even the teacher can't recognize his own students?"

"Hehe, you can't say that. If even someone like me, who is face blind, can tell, it just means your disguise is really bad."

"...Wait, you're face blind, teacher?"

"..."

Qianjiu gave a meaningful look to the surprised Hei Tong.

"You have the nerve to say that about me. Aren't you the same?"

"Yeah... It's true. Hahaha, I'm sorry..."

Hei Tong laughed apologetically, but quickly quieted down, as if burdened with something heavy.

"After this battle, I don't think I'll ever have a chance to go to the battlefield again, will I?"

"Why?"

"I don't know. I just don't want to waste my time on something meaningless."

"...It's up to you."

Qianjiu gave Hei Tong a slightly disappointed look, but didn't furrow his brows as he spoke.

"Um..."

Hei Tong picked up a can of canned coffee and drank it with gulps.

"Don't you feel it?"

"Feel what?"

"The weather seems to be getting hotter... unusually hot."

"Come on, I feel like you're just changing the subject."

"Teacher, I think you should have noticed before me!"

"What kind of logic is that?"

"Teacher... you... you're on fire!!!"

"Huh?"

Qianjiu suddenly realized that the temperature behind him seemed unusually high. When he turned around, a large part of the city was already engulfed in flames.

"Uh hahaha, I am the stone blessed with destiny, bestowed with the power and intelligence by Mother Earth to exterminate mankind! Foolish humans, have you seen my shadow? Hmph, it will take away your last glimmer of light!"

"Um... what is that thing?"

Hei Tong squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, where two suns inexplicably appeared.

"Is this... a miracle?"

"No, I feel like my eyes are going blind."

Qianjiu didn't find it strange at all. After all, he was a top-level curse and possessing special abilities was not an unusual thing.

"You insignificant creatures, I carry the souls of countless companions, their blood in me..."

"Wait, what kind of creature are you?"

Hei Tong interrupted its words and asked.

After hearing Hei Tong's question, the "sun" in the sky clearly paused for a moment before asking.

"Humans, don't you recognize me?"

"How am I supposed to recognize you? You shine as bright as the sun in the sky. Who can tell what you are?"

Hei Tong said loudly, although it might not have been the appropriate moment to say it, it was indeed a serious problem.

The "sun" floating in the air felt that Hei Tong's words made sense, and said, "Well, that's easy. Since you weak creature want to see my true appearance..."

Boom!

Qianjiu clearly felt that something was off, and his Fangtian Halberd immediately flew out.

The Fangtian Halberd collided with the flames, finally saving District D2 from being destroyed in this devastating attack.

"This bastard!!!"

Qiange's arm bore the scars of burns. Although he had managed to deflect a considerable amount of the flames, he still ended up getting hit by some of them.
