Endless vast other world

Chapter 44
After countless days of trekking, Lucia came to the village of voodoo.

Countless days of eating and sleeping in the dew are very hard.But Lucia persisted.

She can choose to go back to Demon King City.Spend the rest of your life in the midst of prosperity.

But she didn't.

Lucia's darkness and melancholy, in her bones, are a kind of self-doubt.A sense of exhaustion that doesn't belong.

Only by returning to the voodoo town can she find a sense of belonging.

Still some distance away from the voodoo village, Lucia had already seen the tall voodoo tree.

After not coming back for so many years, the voodoo tree has become more and more lush.

There are quite a few houses around the voodoo tree.After so many years, Voodoo Township has become a small village.

With a glance, Lucia saw the house that she and Gunnar had built with their own hands.

Although the house is low and dilapidated.But luckily, it's still there.

The voodoo tree is like a calling to Lucia.It guides Lucia over.

Lucia followed the call of the voodoo tree and slowly came to it.

Lucia approaches.She stretched out her trembling hand and slowly stroked the trunk of the tree.

This tree grew up drinking its own blood.

Sudden.Lucia remembered something.

She frantically circled the tree around and around.

She is looking for something.

Very good.She found it.

It hasn't disappeared yet.It hasn't disappeared yet.

The mark that Gunnar carved on the tree back then.

That year, on the last night of leaving the border.In the moonlight, Gunnar drags Lucia under the voodoo tree.Use a dagger to carve the names of yourself and Lucia, and a big heart on the voodoo tree.

With great love, the names of Lucia and Gunnar are wrapped in it.

Under the voodoo tree.Gunnar half-kneeled on the ground.Facing Lucia, he spoke touching words of love.

"My love for you will never fade away. Just like the marks on this tree!"

So many years have passed.Although it was a little blurred and faded, fortunately, the trace was still there.

Love or marriage is nothing more than a fight against time.

Gunnar is now dead.Lucia was left alone to face this mark again.

You can't stay in a good night, just because you don't want people to go.I hate that the happy time is too short, we only meet each other, and we have to break up again.

Memories came flooding back and hurt Lucia's heart.It is not a needle prick, but an ongoing gathering of arrows.

Lucia didn't even have time to learn from it.Because she couldn't know when such sadness would end.

Lucia can't resist the wheel of memories.In the torment of the years, it seems that all she can do is to struggle silently and guard against the world.

At some point in the sky, it started to rain lightly.

Like the blood in Lucia's heart, slowly dripping.

Lucia smiled wryly.When I came back, I came back. What should I do in my future life?

Lucia leans against the voodoo tree.She sighed alone, shed tears, and let herself be wet by the rain.

A long time has passed.

Rainwater collects under tree roots.Formed a series of meandering small rivers.

Sudden.Lucia saw a small live fish drilled out of the mud under the voodoo tree.

What?how is this possible?

Lucia was surprised.She lowered her head and looked carefully.

It's a lungfish.

Lungfish normally live in rivers.If the river is dry, they will burrow into the mud.Even when the mud is dry, they can spit out foam and wrap their bodies to create a living space.

Until the next rainy season comes.

When it rains, the rain comes.They can get out of the mud again, full of life.

Watch this little fish, full of life, emerge from the mud.Lucia's heart suddenly trembled.

Before, Lucia always thought that she was like a sponge.

Snails encounter real-world stimuli and hide in their shells.A sponge has no shell.So all those things that sting the sponge, get sucked into the body of the sponge.Like loneliness, melancholy, loss...

As more of these things build up in the body, the sponge gets dirtier.Finally one day, the body of the sponge is no longer bright, but full of these dark things.

In the end, when the sponge can no longer hold on, a fire will burn in its heart.It burns all that dark stuff.

While burning, the ashes that fall down are love.Love is an accessory that comes from the burning of the soul.

but now.Seeing this vibrant little fish, Lucia was shocked.

perhaps.You don't need to be a sponge, but you can choose to be a small fish?
Finally, hope emerged in Lucia's heart.

What time brings to people should not be vicissitudes, decay, or compromise with life.It should be the precipitation of the years, a broader stage, and different attempts in life.

The rain gradually stopped.The sun pierced the clouds.The sky gradually cleared.

Under the sunlight.Even the gloomy Voodoo Township seems to have revealed a little light.

Lucia wiped away the tears from her face and lifted her spirits.

Leaving the voodoo tree, walked towards the former hut.

Life still has to go on.

far away.A faint rainbow appeared in the sky after the rain.

Here in Herringborg.

Sora got up early in the morning and went to the pharmacy.

Kong Zhen was very disturbed.After sending Lucia away last night, he didn't sleep all night.

Kong Ma now fully knows the truth of the matter.And, he's the only one who knows the truth.

But should he tell the truth?

Sora is really confused.

He decided to go to the pharmacy first, and then see Anisa.

Still far away from the pharmacy, Sorama heard a loud noise.

As Kongzhen approached, he saw a large group of Kang Sotan guards surrounding the door.

No way.won't be again...

Sora looked into the pharmacy.

really.Edson confronts Miriam.

Sora wanted to avoid it for the time being.However, when Miriam saw Kongzhen at the door, she immediately caught him into the pharmacy with quick eyesight and quick hands.

Miriam held Sora with one hand and pointed at Edson with the other.

"Sorama, you judge. Edson is a bastard. So far, he still hasn't been able to solve the case!"

Edson scratches his bald head.

"Oh, Miriam, don't worry. Although I haven't solved the case yet, I already have enough evidence..."

"Bah!" Miriam interrupted Edson's defense.

"Evidence? What's the use of this? You want to send the evidence to prison? The prisoner I want, the prisoner who was caught!"

Edson opened his mouth to say something.But for a long time, I couldn't speak.

In the face of the facts, justification and whitewashing are indeed a bit pale.

Sora asked Edson: "What did you find out?"

Edson thought Sora didn't know anything.He pretended to be profound, and fooled Kongzhen and said: "Hmph, of course it is the truth. The truth, and my constant desire for the truth, are my beliefs..."

Sora knows.Edson, a big fool, didn't investigate anything.

Sora paid no attention to Edson.He asked Miriam, "Where's Anaissa?"

Miriam pointed towards the corner.

It was only then that Sora noticed that Anisa was sitting in the corner.

To Sora's surprise.Anisha is no longer the haggard, decadent look she had at the beginning.Instead, her complexion is ruddy and her spirits are refreshed.

The amnesia potion was formulated by Anaisa.But how do you feel after drinking it?Anaissa didn't know either.

At that time, the reason why she wanted to drink the amnesia potion was Anisha's last resistance.

Self-destruction is a person's last self-protection in the face of unbearable suffering.

The moment she drank the amnesia potion, Anisha made up her mind.

Will be amnesiac, Anisha thought that she would definitely feel pain all over her body, like using a knife to scratch her brain layer by layer.

But did not expect.Not only is there no pain, on the contrary, it is also very comfortable.

Anisha felt as if she was wrapped in her mother's arms.There was a burst of warmth all over my body.

After drinking the amnesia potion, in this daze, Anisha felt as if she had fallen asleep.

She felt like she was a child again.Lying by myself in a small black house.The night is very dark, and strange fears are printed in my mind.

At this time.A burst of light that could make people faint appeared in the scene.

The ray of light seemed to slip up the wall, jittery, and stopped in the middle of the blurred ceiling.

Anaissa looked up.I saw that the roof had dissolved into clouds, high and dark.The light was like the light of the moon on the thick fog when it broke through the fog.

Anaissa watched as the light came.rushed out from the clouds.There has never been any light that pierces the clouds like that.

How warm is that beam of light.It was as if a hand reached into the dark place in Anisha's heart.Then, gently smoothed the folds in Anaisha's heart.

subsequently.In the blue sky, a white figure appeared.It can be vaguely seen that the person seems to be a young girl.There is a halo on the top of the head, and there are white wings on the back.

Is this the legendary angel?

Under the radiance, the angel stared at Anisha and looked again and again.And, speak to Anisha's soul.

That voice is both far away in the sky and close at hand.As if hiding in Anaissa's ear, she whispered:
"Poor child, flee from temptation!"

"I will." Anaissa replied almost without thinking.

After speaking, Anisha didn't remember anything.

She lost all her original memories.But it was born again.It was like completing a baptism.

Now Anisha is a reborn person.

The history of the past has been completely dissolved.The future is laid bare on the table.The two-level reversal of light and darkness, and the entanglement and confrontation of human nature's own desires, are all reconstructed in a romanticized program.

Kong Zhen looked at the carefree innocent girl who knew nothing about her dark past, and couldn't help asking: "What are you going to do in the future?"

Anisha raised her head, blinked her pure eyes, and said with a smile, "I plan to go back to the town where I was born."

This answer was somewhat unexpected.He originally thought that Anisha would continue to stay in Herringborg to study potions.

Anisha explained: "I heard from them that I used to be a talented pharmacist. But, I don't remember anything now. It is impossible to continue to be a pharmacist."

"Ms. Miriam also asked me what I want to do in the future. I said, I want to go home."

Kong Zhen can understand.

It was a kind of instinct similar to the homing instinct of animals.

On the outside, I pursued desperately, but in the end I couldn't love him.Being hurt all over the body, and finally, the only hope is to return home.

Compared to staying in Herringborg, going home is really a good choice for Anisha.

This ending may not be perfect, but it is really touching.

Anaissa did make a mistake.Because of her excessive desire for love, and because of her transfiguration potion, Gunnar destroyed the capital, and countless innocent people were injured or even lost their lives in the Linton Cup duel.

but.In the final analysis, Anisha is just a deceived girl. The punishment of "forget everything" is enough for her fault.She deserved no other punishment.

Forget all the past and go back to my hometown.Such an ending is a very good home for Anisha.

Miriam came over and said to Kong Zhen: "This poor child has forgotten everything and only knows to go home. I persuaded her at first, hoping that she can stay in Helenburg. She followed me like this It’s been a long time, and I’m really reluctant for her to leave. Even if she has lost her memory and can no longer be a pharmacist, I can let her stay here. But no matter what, she insists on going back.”

"Since this is the case, I have no choice but to let her go back. I will take a sum of money out of my own pocket and give it to her. After she goes back, she can also open a small shop. This life is enough for her to support her. own."

Miriam sighed: "If someone can solve the case, the criminal will be brought to justice and severely punished. The person who solves the case will definitely be rewarded by Helenburg."

"If no one can solve the case, the case will be closed in such a muddle-headed way, and it will never be mentioned again."

Miriam asked Sora: "What about you? Did you find anything out of your investigation?"

On the way to the pharmacy, Sora was still hesitating whether to tell the truth about the matter.

Now.Looking at Anisha in front of her, her big watery eyes and her innocent smile.Kong really had the answer in his heart.

"No." Sora smiled.

"Sorry. I don't know anything."

keep it.Anaisha is in people's hearts, the image of that innocent and kind child.Why destroy it.

after many years.It seems that Sorama and Anisa met again.

That time, when Sora was on a mission, he passed by a small town.In that small town, on a sunny street corner, there was a small flower shop.

Kong Zhen was at the corner, when passing by the flower shop, he saw a woman tending flowers and plants in the flower shop.

After Anisa left Hellenborg, Sorama never saw Anisa again.Ordinarily, Sora should not have recognized Anisa.

But, at that moment.Sora can almost [-]% believe that it is Anisha.

Because of that woman, her eyes are so carefree, so pure and clear.

It's like experiencing a new life.

The woman also noticed Kong Zhen's gaze.She raised her head and smiled at Sorama.

That smile is so innocent.As if it can melt ice and snow.

Did she recognize Sora?Sora really doesn't know.

But it doesn't matter.

Sora smiled at her too.

It was a sunny summer afternoon.

After the two looked at each other and smiled, Sora turned around and turned the corner.Left that flower shop, left that small town.

In the pharmacy.Miriam is still arguing with Edson.

In the hustle and bustle of the crowd, Kong Zhen had quietly opened the door and walked out.

What is left to people is only a lonely figure.
