Yingque exclaimed in surprise.
Luo Fan nodded, then quickened his pace: "Yes, let's go take a look."
The moment the answer left her mouth, a hint of surprise flashed across Yingque's face, but it was gone in an instant. She simply followed Luo Fan in silence, letting him lead her to the source of the sound.
There was no point in investigating the location of the explosion, as the area was in a state of ruin. As for why he had come here, Luo Fan seemed unable to remember.
The gunshots weren't far away, and the two men quickly arrived at the scene. They met the people who had fired the shots at a street corner.
There were four women wearing masks, all with white hair, each holding a gun, and they looked very professional.
Yingque instinctively showed fear, but Luo Fan shielded her behind him, signaling her not to be afraid.
"Don't worry, they...won't hurt us..."
How did you know...?
Luo Fan did not answer; his actions became the answer. He raised his hand halfway into the air and lightly waved it twice, using two fingers as the pivot.
Four white-haired women approached him. The one in the lead seemed to be able to see clearly without relying on her eyes. She took off her mask and smiled, "Good evening, Commander."
......
Commander, Commander... I'm a commander. It seems many people have called me that before. I recognize them...
"Disobedience..."
"Yes, the Defiance Squad, that's our codename."
......
"Clear the surrounding area, ensure safety, and cover our evacuation."
In just a few seconds, his eyes turned sharp, and he lost his innocent boyish look, uttering the command without hesitation.
In fact, he didn't know why he was doing this; it was just that he felt he should...
"Of course, leave it to us."
The captain of the rebellious squad nodded slowly, then, armed, he and his team members came to the front of the two. With the help of firearms, advancing became easier, and Luo Fan's steps gradually relaxed, but Ying Que still huddled beside Luo Fan.
"They are very professional. How did you get to know them?"
Looking sideways at Yingque, she seemed to harbor deep questions about this. Luo Fan's consciousness was not yet fully awake, and he could only answer based on his feelings...
"They are indeed experts in this field, but as for how they met... I'm not quite sure, or perhaps I just don't remember."
"All right......"
Ying Que didn't say much, and continued to follow behind the Rebellious Squad with Luo Fan, letting them eliminate the threat in front of them.
But this scene didn't last long either...
"...!"
A missile, launched from an unknown point in time, fell from the sky. The violent explosion nearly tore Luo Fan's "mind" apart. In his mind, this was definitely a dangerous distance, and he was sure to die here.
Can......
He looked down at his hands, at the dirt, blood, and a broken ring finger.
"...!"
He slowly raised his head, and the city before him had transformed into an even more terrifying sight than before. It wasn't the horrifying destruction caused by the explosions that made it so striking, but rather the mechanical debris lying on the ground.
She, they...
"This is......"
Not just the rebellious squad, but also many more familiar faces—the girls who had once followed him, and...
Adeline
......!
He knelt on the ground. The headache was no longer his biggest concern; that incredibly familiar feeling had returned...
“No…don’t…”
His breathing began to tremble. He resisted everything that was happening before his eyes, but the last shred of reason made him realize something. He turned around abruptly, and sure enough, Ying Que was right behind him. She was unharmed, except that she had changed her clothes and her hair and eye colors had changed as well.
Your left eye...?
More puzzling than asking about the current situation was the strange condition that puzzled Luo Fan. In Yingque's left eye, there was a magnificent pattern formed by dark gold flowers, sharp yet harmonious, like a finely crafted work of art, which could not possibly exist in the eyes of a normal person.
It wasn't just her left eye; her white hair, along with her black coat and long skirt, changed her overall aura.
Why has this situation come to this?
"What...?"
Ying Que's sudden words startled Luo Fan, who stood frozen in place.
Is it the fault of the entire era, or your fault?
"...?!"
"Where exactly did things go wrong? Was it that the ugly face of this country was beyond your expectations, or did you know it was so, yet still gamble everything, just to realize your grand ambition as soon as possible, and then... return to our side?"
"...No, that's not it!"
The broken fragments on the ground once again snapped the most vulnerable string in Luo Fan's heart. He didn't want to recall such pain anymore. He had done so much afterward to prevent such a situation from happening again, but why...?
【Puff】
The whistling sound temporarily interrupted Luo Fan's thoughts. He suddenly raised his head and found a dark red wound on Ying Que's neck.
"No...no no...no!!!"
He quickly got up, forgetting the pain in his body once more, and held her in his arms with all his might. But even so, he couldn't hold onto her fading warmth, just as he hadn't been able to hold onto anyone else that night...
Blood seeped from the corner of her pale mouth, yet her expression remained serene: "If this is the price you must pay to achieve your goal... even so, would you still do it?"
"me......"
He lowered his head, unsure of what to say. He felt that tears were hurting him for the first time. If he ignored them, he wouldn't be able to see her face clearly. If he wiped them away with his hands, he wouldn't be able to hold her in his arms anymore.
......
Just watching him struggle with his decision and tormented by memories of the past made her heart ache, so much so that she felt like she was going crazy. Why, why did things have to come to this?
......
......
"However, whatever your final choice is..."
Ying Que spoke again, once again capturing Luo Fan's attention. He abruptly raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him.
"I will always love you..."
"...!"
......
......
My vision in my right eye turned crimson and blurred, followed by intense pain, but none of that mattered anymore. Nothing was more painful than losing her, losing them.
Yes, the current situation is not only caused by this era, but also by me...
"I see......"
When he got used to the pain and his thoughts gradually cleared, he opened his right eye again...
The pattern, which resembled both fullness and emptiness, finally appeared in his pupils.
......
Ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! !
......
Screaming became the first thing Luo Fan did upon waking up; he almost knocked the hospital bed over, but there seemed to be nothing surprising about him.
Besides the blankets and sheets stained with copious amounts of blood, there was also...
"Ouch~ It hurts so much! What happened to my right eye...?"
It seems I need to get Gray to take a look; this situation is not normal, and the bleeding is too much.
......
"Miss Yingque, the treatment is complete. He has successfully opened his right eye ahead of schedule, but he may need some time to adjust."
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Ethel."
"It was just a small favor. We're heading back to Germany soon, and we might not see each other for a long time. Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
"I... just want to ask one question: what did we experience in his dream just now, and what did we say to each other?"
"Well, you reminded us before we started that whatever happened in the dream, please forget that memory. Even if you ask about it later, please don't tell us. I respect your past choices."
“Is that so… Okay… Thank you, Ethel.”
"You're welcome. I hope you'll find out someday what he's doing and what he's pursuing."
Even if you already know the full picture of reality in your dream, you still subconsciously try to let go of those memories.
You don't want to interfere with his life in this way, and you don't want to harbor resentment towards him because of it, do you?
There are countless ways they can love him, but this kind of silent love is especially touching...
Even though it is shattered, I believe there must be something beautiful and moving in those fragments...
Pieces of me (6500 updated today)
Seeking and waiting for an opportunity to shine.
Resistance, hiding the demon in my heart
While I am innocent, I am hardly a saint.
Simply living and striving without regret.
Feel those feelings I can't ignore
Just like no matter how I try, I only make things worse.
I want to break free from these constraints, but I'll inevitably be exhausted.
But this thought still lingers in my mind, imprisoning me.
(Climax begins)
I have a fear of failure and that boundless darkness.
How can I find a new starting point?
Perhaps a perfect outcome is simply unattainable.
Perhaps the answer lies deep within my soul.
I dare to stand tall and proud.
If this means I can fall into depravity and conquer all of this...
I believe I am more than just a drop in the ocean.
Because I hope you will believe.
My Fragments
Even if they're broken, surely they have something beautiful about them?
(End of climax)
I am shattered beyond redemption.
My fear arose from my wounds.
I tried to escape, but I quickly returned to where I started.
I opened my eyes before the world went dark.
I'm not entirely useless, I'm just a little hesitant.
I will seize the opportunity when others refuse.
