The Doctor of the City goes down the mountain

Chapter 2548 The fifth level, the three-life calamity!
Lin Dong quickly said, "Hey, Sister Luo Xue, don't cross the river and then destroy the bridge like this."

"I just said that to save you."

Luo Xue shrugged and said, "If you hadn't saved me, I would have killed you and turned you from a little brother into a little sister."

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Dong's crotch.

Instantly, Lin Dong felt a chill in his crotch.

"Hehe~~~~~" Seeing this, Luo Xue couldn't help but let out a crisp laugh.

But he suddenly stopped laughing and said solemnly: "Thank you for what you did just now. If it weren't for you awakening my mind, I would have gone completely crazy now."

"It's impossible to pass this fourth level. It seems that cooperating with you is really a wise move."

Lin Dong curled his lips and said, "Since you want to thank me, just give me the Xinyu Flower quickly."

He just said it casually like before.

However, something happened that he did not expect.

Luo Xue actually took out the Xinyu Flower from the storage space and threw it to him.

"No, here you go!"

Lin Dong took the Xinyu Flower, stunned and somewhat unbelievable.

"You...you really gave it to me?" Lin Dong said subconsciously.

"Here you go." Luo Xue waved her hand and gave it very decisively, without refusing like before.

Lin Dong couldn't understand and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will take the Heart Flower and quit directly? But there is still one level. Could it be that you don't need me for the last level?"

Luo Xue shook her head and said, "Of course I need you."

"Then why did you give me this Xinyu Flower in advance? Not like before? Aren't you afraid that I would go back the same way?" Lin Dong was puzzled.

"Will you?" Luo Xue stared at Lin Dong closely, then turned around and said, "If you want to go back the same way, I won't stop you."

As she spoke, she walked forward first.

There are two paths before Lin Dong.

Now that he has obtained the Heart Flower, he can return the same way.

And there is another way, which is to continue to follow Luo Xue forward, pass the fifth level, and reach the final destination.

He looked at Luo Xue's moving forward figure, and finally followed her.

When she heard Lin Dong's footsteps approaching, the corners of Luo Xue's mouth, which were hidden in the mist, curved into an arc.

She seems to be smiling!
I feel extremely happy!
That feeling made her very happy!
Lin Dong and Luo Xue continued to move forward, not knowing how long they had been walking.

Finally, the two stood side by side in front of the ancient stone door that led to their final destination.

The faint light coming through the crack in the door seemed to foreshadow the extraordinary journey that was about to begin.

The two smiled at each other, their eyes showing both anxiety about the unknown and trust in each other.

After all this time, the two have gained a certain understanding of each other's personalities.

"Have you thought it through? This last level is the most dangerous one. It's not too late for you to regret now." Luo Xue looked at Lin Dong and asked with a smile.

Lin Dong spread his hands and said, "If you are not afraid, what should I be afraid of?"

"Okay! Open the door." Luo Xue said in a deep voice.

As Lin Dong gently pushed open the stone door, a soft light instantly enveloped them. When the light dissipated, the two were already in a completely new space.

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and they found themselves standing in front of a quaint and quiet little village, with smoke rising from chimneys, the sounds of chickens and dogs, a peaceful scene.

Lin Dong looked down and found that he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, while Luo Xue had turned into the little girl with pigtails and clear eyes beside him.

"Brother, come and eat!" Luo Xue's voice was clear and pleasant, with a bit of childishness, but very familiar. Lin Dong was shocked. What was going on?

Is this an illusion? In this illusion, he and Luo Xue became a pair of siblings?
But is this illusion too real?
"This fifth level is called the Three Life Tribulations. It requires one to survive three lifetimes in an extremely realistic illusion."

"Spending three lives here is equivalent to three days in the outside world. But for us, these three lives are real lives."

"Every day, every hour, every minute, every second, everything that happens is so real."

Hearing this, Lin Dong was stunned.

"Does this mean that we have to truly live three lives in the fantasy world?" Lin Dong asked.

"Yes, let's eat. In this life, you are my brother. I am your sister..." Luo Xue brought the food and presented it to Lin Dong.

In this life, they are siblings who depend on each other.

Luo Xue quickly got into the role. She got up early every day, busy preparing breakfast for Lin Dong, and taking care of him meticulously.

Lin Dong was a little embarrassed at first, but as he continued to spend time with her in the fantasy world, day after day, he gradually couldn't tell whether it was a fantasy or reality.

He also gradually got into the role, as if he had really become Luo Xue's younger brother.

It was as if they were really a pair of siblings.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, ten years had passed in the fantasy world.

Lin Dong and Luo Xue stood in front of their simple but cozy little house, looking at the dark clouds rolling in the distant sky, wondering what they were thinking.

During these ten years, they depended on each other and lived out their daily lives in this fantasy world, as if they had truly forgotten everything about the outside world.

But Lin Dong's question at this moment was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

"Sister Luo Xue, do we have to wait until we grow old and die before we can say that we have survived the first calamity of this life?" There was some confusion and unwillingness in Lin Dong's voice. He looked up at Luo Xue, eager to find the answer in her eyes.

Luo Xue gently stroked Lin Dong's head, her eyes full of complexity and helplessness. "If we die without passing the test of this first life, then the moment we close our eyes, it will be an eternal farewell, and we will never be able to return to the real world again."

Her voice was low and gentle, but like a sharp knife, cutting the hopes in the hearts of the two.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong frowned, as if he could not accept this reality.

"Then how can we pass the test of this life?" he asked, his eyes flickering.

Luo Xue shook her head, a hint of bitterness flashed in her eyes. "I don't know either. The rules of the illusion are unfathomable. The test may be hidden in the little things in daily life, or we may need to face unknown challenges together. But one thing is certain, it will never let us pass easily."

"Then...if we really die here, will you regret it?" Lin Dong's voice trembled slightly. He was afraid to hear the answer, but he had to ask.

Luo Xue stared at Lin Dong and shook her head bitterly.

"No, in fact, I really want to die a long time ago. Die when I'm eleven years old."

"Then he would...he wouldn't..."

Her words stopped abruptly, and her eyes flashed with memories that she didn't want to touch.

Lin Dong sensed the deep meaning in Luo Xue's words, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. "Sister Luo Xue, why do you say that? Is there something you have been hiding from me?"

He asked, his eyes full of concern and confusion.

Luo Xue smiled slightly, with a hint of relief and sadness in her smile. "Some things are useless to talk about, and will only cause more trouble. The most important thing for us now is to cherish each other and face the upcoming unknown together. Then, perhaps, we can return to reality."

She patted Lin Dong's shoulder gently, as if giving him strength.

The two looked at each other in silence, and the world around them seemed to stop at this moment.

Time passed slowly like fine sand, and in the blink of an eye, another three years had passed.

Their lives remained peaceful until that day, when a crack appeared in the sky and a flood came like a ferocious beast, swallowing up their homes in an instant.
