Chapter 426: This Dream
Looking up at the endless dark wilderness, the bleak and lonely world, as if it is isolated from the distant time and space, and is in the unknown underworld.↖
The reality in the stinging eyes, the coolness of the tentacles, and the empty eyes reminded themselves that this did not seem to be a dream.
Once upon a time, this scene was vividly remembered.
"waste--"
A contemptuous sneer echoed clearly in his ears, full of wanton sarcasm.
Xia Lan looked at the familiar "people" in front of her with indifferent expression. He did not say anything or be angry, like a soulless body and an insensitive puppet.
"You are dead... no, you should say that you are about to die."
The "people" opposite suddenly fell silent. After a long time, he laughed out loud without restraint.
"After so many years, I didn't expect you to be on the verge of collapse."
Xia Lan still had no reaction at all, her deep and dark eyes were silent, and she always remained still.
"I always thought you and I were the same type of people, but I was wrong. It turns out that you were the real 'him' from beginning to end." The man smiled wildly at the sky, tears splashing from the corners of his eyes. "I finally understand why I can't occupy this body, yes! How can the false object that was split into pieces be compared to you, the real object!"
The man stopped laughing, showed a strange smile on his face and walked towards Xia Lan, saying, "Maybe even 'you' did not realize the truth. If you hadn't endured the desperate experience of life and death again, you would not have been so weak that I dragged into the sea of consciousness to expose my flaws! Today, let me completely destroy the final obstacle of 'him' and let us truly merge into one!"
As soon as the words fell, the man's body turned into a ball of black mist and attacked the indifferent Xia Lan. In an instant, he enveloped him and imprisoned him. I saw a trace of black lines appearing in Xia Lan's eyes. No, when the black lines were about to fill his eyes, a dazzling light passed by like lightning, and a heart-wrenching wail sounded in the endless dark world.
The black mist on Xia Lan's body dissipated, and the sky and the earth were covered with spider-web-like cracks made a sound of shattering.
...
...
"I won't die! I won't die forever..."
Xia Lan murmured involuntarily, her eyes slowly opened, and gradually a strange low gray wooden board appeared in her clear vision. A damp and salty smell was emitted from the air. She moved her fingers lightly, and her body seemed to be back in her control. He was about to struggle to get up, but the severe pain from his limbs and chest almost fainted again.
Life: 43/390
The numbers pounding out of his eyes show his current physical condition. If he wants to resume normal activities on weekdays, he may need some time to recuperate.
"Mr. Xia Lan! You are finally awake!"
At this time, a creaking sound came from my ears, and then a familiar voice was heard that was so excited that I cried with joy.
Adrina threw herself on Xia Lan's simple bed, tears dripping down uncontrollably, her eyes gazing at the other party with red eyes, as if thousands of words were blocked in her heart and unable to be happy.
“Adelina…”
Xia Lan gently called out her name, and messy memory fragments suddenly filled his brain. He slowly recalled the fainting, and it was she who saved her life again.
"Mr. Xia Lan, how are you feeling now? Isn't you dizzy? Isn't you hurt? Isn't you hungry? Isn't you thirsty..." Seeing Xia Lan safe and sound, Adrina immediately said anxiously.
"I'm fine for the time being." Xia Lan said pale and weakly, "Adelina, how long have I been in a coma?"
"It's been thirteen days in total if today is included." Adelina said hurriedly.
"Thirteen days?" Xia Lan felt her breathing heavier and said: "Have any other things happened in these thirteen days?"
"No! As Mr. Xialan told you before your coma, I have asked Captain Prous to set sail again. I will be able to successfully pass through Xiafeng Strait and arrive at a harbor city called Vysinger in about half a month." Adelina wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Is that so? Everything goes well."
When Xia Lan finished speaking, he seemed to hear a "woof" struggle cry with a keen hearing. He turned his head and looked in the sound. As a result, he saw Winnie wrapped in white cloth and locked in the corner. She seemed to have a strip of bread stuffed into her mouth, blocking her from speaking tightly.
"Mr. Xialan... I'm sorry, because I'm worried that Miss Winnie will hurt you and disturb you, so I..." Adrina hurriedly defended after noticing Xialan's gaze.
"It's okay, it's good for her." Xia Lan coughed, and stopped looking at Winnie. "Where is Magnison on the boat after I fainted?"
"Are you talking about that old man? I caught him when he was trying to jump into the sea and escape. He is now locked at the bottom of the cabin." Adelina said.
"Yeah, it's a good job."
Xia Lan seemed to be a little satisfied with Adelina's treatment, but she did not show any appreciation on her face. He moved his fingers wearing the Void Ring, exhausted his energy to remove the healing potion from the Void Ring, and then said to Adelina: "Feed me after drinking this bottle of potion, I want to rest quietly for a while now."
After Adelina served Xia Lan to drink the bottle of potion, she obediently left the room.
As the therapeutic agent penetrated into his body, the pain in his body began to weaken with the effect of the medicine, and the strong sleepiness slowly eroded his spirit. When he closed his eyes and rested, no one noticed a trace of black thread flashing in his eyes.
Oak platform deck.
When Adrina walked out of the cabin, a crew member who was cleaning the deck immediately stiffened when she saw her, her teeth trembled, and she didn't dare to look at her.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Adelina has appeared on the deck these days. On weekdays, she stays by the side of Xialan's bed and takes care of her carefully. When she is thirsty and hungry, she goes to the storage room to search for food. Except for occasionally meeting the boy named Anphir chatting for a few words, she is alone at the other time. She never seems to have felt bored and lonely.
She was in a good mood today because Mr. Xia Lan woke up.
So, she decided to come up to the deck to get some breath, bask in the sun, and enjoy the scenery on the sea.
Since there was no sunshine for many days, her fair skin looked like a trace of blood, and she looked a bit sickly pale, but she knew her physical condition, and this problem was not enough to explain.
My hands were lying on the ship bars, enjoying the cool sea breeze. I felt much more refreshed.
"Miss Adriena, I'm so lucky to meet you on the deck." Prous appeared next to Adriena at some point. He habitually pulled the captain's hat downwards, as if he was always worried that the hat would be blown into the sea by the sea breeze.
"Captain Prous, long time no see." Adelina turned her head and smiled and greeted Prous several steps away.
Long time no see you? We met the day before yesterday.
Prous thought to himself, but said, "Miss Adrina, you look in a pretty good mood today. Did you encounter something good?"
"Yes! Because Mr. Xia Lan finally woke up from his coma just now." Adelina took a deep breath of the cool breeze and said happily.
"Oh?! No wonder Miss Adrina is so excited to come out of the cabin and enjoy the long-lost sunshine." Prous smiled.
Did Your Excellency Xia Lan finally wake up? It seems that she doesn’t have to worry about it.
"Yeah." Adelina nodded, and said happily and smilingly intoxicated by the sea breeze and sunshine: "I'm not afraid of you being a joke on Captain Prous. This is the first time I've taken a boat to sea."
"first?"
Prous raised his eyebrows. He had seen many people who would experience seasickness when they first went out to sea. But Adelina did not have this situation at all, but thinking about it, how could people like her get seasick?
"Of course, and it's the first time I've left Port Louis for a long trip, but..." Adelina's expression suddenly dimmed, and she said, "I can never go back."
"What does it mean?" Prous said strangely: "If you miss Port Louis in the future, you can come back by boat!"
"Because... Port Louis is gone." Adelina said sadly with a look of melancholy.
"Perto Louis is gone?" Prous had an unknown premonition in his heart.
Adelina did not continue to explain, but shook her head and looked at the sea with a shimmering waves in the sun.
It was not until one day after Prous and his friends arrived in Vysinger that he realized that most of Port Louis had been destroyed in the hands of the seemingly delicate girl in front of him.
Realizing that the other party was in a bad mood and had no intention of talking anymore, Prous did not make himself bored, but chose to sue him and leave.
At some point, all the sailors on the deck disappeared, leaving only Adelina a lonely figure.
Of course she noticed what was happening around her. When Captain Prous was talking to her, the sailors tiptoed into the cabin. They were afraid of themselves and fearing themselves. Adrina understood very well why she had been staying in the cabin and could not come out, part of the reason was that she was unwilling to disturb them.
She raised her delicate hand and placed it in front of her eyes and stared blankly. Each green finger was filled with bright red blood, and a trace of black air floated, forming a ferocious and terrifying vivid face.
A clear tears passed through the corners of her eyes, and her heart had never felt so painful.
She killed countless people and committed heinous sins.
She doesn't want to do this, she doesn't want to.
But she couldn't control herself. There seemed to be another person living in her body, which always affected her every move, and sometimes even took control of her body and did whatever she wanted.
When Port Louis was destroyed, she tried her best to stop "Ho", but everything was futile. In the end, she could only watch countless people destroy the divine punishment shining with lightning.
She is no longer her, she will never be the once simple and kind girl.
The scenes staged by Port Louis were like nightmare lingering in her mind. If possible, she hoped that this was really just a nightmare.
In that real dream, under the beautiful scenery, she held Mr. Xia Lan's hand and walked on the beach on the summer night, step by step towards the distance leading to happiness.
The dreams on summer nights are so real and so illusory.
