Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2310 This Life
"Sister, you guessed right."

The young man under the tree looked at Ying Baoyue, "This memory of yours has indeed been erased, it is something that does not exist in your soul fragments."

Ying Baoyue didn't expect that one day she would experience in her memory what it means to be at a loss.

"Who eliminated it?"

Ying Baoyue didn't know how to react, "You did it?"

The shadow under the tree shook his head, "It's not me, it's the child who doesn't want you to remember."

"Who?"

Ying Baoyue's fingers holding the dagger trembled, "A Ji?"

The tree shadow boy nodded, "I'm just a part of him. He doesn't want to disturb you. He's very obedient and just wants to keep his promise with you."

"He has a question in his mind, and he has been holding back from asking it, from just now until now."

"He held back until you left. But I want to fulfill his wish and ask you one last thing."

"So here I am, and I'll ask you on his behalf."

Ying Baoyue stared fixedly at the phantom of the boy under the tree. She seemed to understand something, but she didn't fully understand it.

This phantom is indeed not a living person, but it doesn't look like Xiao Li Ji's soul.The character of the other party and Xiao Li Ji seem to be different, and the tone of speech is also different from Xiao Li Ji, as if he has lived for a long time.

"who are you?"

"Like I said, I'm just a part of him," said the tree shadow young man. "Don't people have many sides in their hearts? What's more..."

The tree shadow boy paused suddenly.

Ying Baoyue frowned, "What's more?"

"Not to mention practitioners," said the tree shadow young man.

Ying Baoyue looked at him quietly, "Even if you are a practitioner, it's not so easy to erase other people's memories, right?"

Manipulating memory is a taboo technique, and Xiao Li Ji is only a human being, so it is impossible for him to do it.

What's more, she is now in her own memory fragments, she is the master of this illusion.

How did this tree shadow boy jump out?How could it interfere with her memory?

Or is it that this past event has been sleeping in the deepest layer of her consciousness, and it was only revealed when it was triggered under certain circumstances?

"If it's a memory related to people, it's not that easy," the tree shadow boy looked at her with complicated eyes.

"What do you mean?" Ying Baoyue frowned, "You mean, I'm not human?"

She always felt something was wrong.

The boy shook his head and didn't speak again.

Ying Baoyue closed her eyes and stopped asking about the boy's identity.

Anyway, she was leaving, so there was no point in asking.

"You came after me, what do you want to ask me?"

"It's not that I want to ask." The boy shook his head, turned and looked into the distance, "It's that child who wanted to ask."

Ying Baoyue didn't follow his gaze and turned around slowly.

"I've told him everything I can say."

There is no such memory in her soul, she doesn't know how she answered the boy eight years ago.

For the first time, she broke away from the fixed lines and spoke with her current thoughts.

"No, you didn't tell him everything."

Under the shadow of the tree, the voice of the young man suddenly became low and deep. It was still Xiao Li Ji's voice, but it sounded very strange.

"You didn't tell him when you'd be back."

Ying Baoyue stiffened all over.

Xiao Li Ji asked when she would come back, and she replied that she could not give him a clear guarantee, and only gave him an ambiguous answer.

She couldn't guarantee that she would come back alive.

This is an inaccurate answer, but for her eight years ago, she could only say so much.

"How else can I answer?"

Ying Baoyue stood there without looking back, "I don't know if I can come back. Do you want me to give him a false answer?"

The road ahead is dangerous, how does she know if she can survive?

"You really didn't know before," the young man said in a young voice, "but what about you now?"

A biting chill enveloped Ying Baoyue's whole body, she turned her head little by little, looking at the shadow under the tree in astonishment.

Those eyes were still those eyes, but in those familiar black pupils, it was not the expression of Xiao Li Ji she was familiar with.

The bruised young man under the tree just looked straight at her, his eyes were clear and penetrating, as if he could travel through time and space.

The meaning of what he said was as if he knew she came from eight years later!
"What do you... mean?"

Ying Baoyue asked stiffly, "What is the me now?"

"You don't have to think too much, just answer me," the young man looked at her deeply, "I don't want that child to just wait so stupidly."

"Now, do you know your end?"

Of course she knew.

Eight years ago, she failed to come back.

The Li Zhao that little Li Ji missed never came back.

Could it be that the boy under the shadow of the tree is pressing her for this answer?
Ying Baoyue stared fixedly at the shadow, his gaze changed, "Are you really A Ji?"

Although the other party has the appearance of Li Ji, which only she knows, what if some evil god is transformed and wants to press her for the secret of her death?
The breeze blows through the leaves, rustling like a boy's sigh.

The shadow of the boy under the tree lowered his head, and his disheveled hair was dragged to the ground.

"Let me change the question."

"When can I see you again?"

The boy raised his head, his eyes changed.

His pure black pupils were reddish, and he looked at her quietly through the eye sockets of the thick bronze mask.

This is Xiao Li Ji's eyes.

Ying Baoyue felt a sharp pain in her heart, and slowly closed her eyes.

She knew that she could never speak deceit again.

"us……"

Ying Baoyue stood on the bridge, looking at the young man under the bridge, she was about to speak when the gurgling river flowed under the bridge.

Has the water of Santuchuan ever flowed under the Naihe Bridge in this way?
Did she walk across that bridge in her previous life?

So, did she forget him?
"In the next life..."

"Ok?"

The boy under the tree raised his head and looked at her eagerly.

"Let's meet again in the next life."

Ying Baoyue looked at the water droplets falling behind the mask in the distance, and finished the last sentence.

"In the next life, we will definitely be able to meet again."

Eight years ago, she never believed in the so-called past and present lives.

But facing the young man who was staring at her at this time, she found that her words were so pale, and she could only make such pale promises.

In her previous life, when she was alive, she didn't come back.

"If we never see each other again in this life, then in the next life, I promise you, I will definitely find you again."

The wind blows across the lake under the bridge, causing heavy ripples.

Under the shadow of the tree, the edges of the boy's body gradually blurred.

Through the mask, Ying Baoyue could not see the expression on his face.

"it is good."

The boy's steady voice rang in her ears.

"Thank you for agreeing to such a willful request."

"Your answer, I will definitely bring it."

……

……

The shadow of the tree whirled, there was no more that vague shadow under the tree, and only Ying Baoyue was left on the bridge.

Ying Baoyue walked down the stone bridge, and the tree house was too far away to be seen.

The boy's shadow just now was like an episode on the road, nothing happened.

"Maybe it's really just my demons."

Maybe there is no shadow of Xiao Liji in this world at all, and there is no problem before parting.

Ying Baoyue walked towards the big lake scattered with broken ice. The lake at the door led to the outside of the cloud forest. As long as she passed through here, she would completely leave the area of ​​the small courtyard.

Just as she stepped into the lake with one foot, a sentence she heard a long time ago suddenly rang in her ears.

It was Zhao Guang's voice.

"By the way, do you know, Your Royal Highness? Second brother, he died once."

　Past and Present.Some people did believe it.
