Doom Reborn: I Choose to Save the World

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Ma Shuo's Dream

The windows of residential buildings in the distance emit yellow lights, and I walk towards the light source...

There is still some distance from where I am now, and I found that the closer I got there, the more solid the surrounding buildings, and the clearer the light and shadow. I guess I am getting closer to Ma Shuo's consciousness.

When I came to the only place where there was light, I looked at the dark corridor entrance and didn't rush in.

"Why are you so useless"

"Mother."

There was a faint quarrel, and the hysterical female voice evokes my deepest memory. It was a cool rainy day. When I was six years old, I accidentally knocked over the bowls and chopsticks in the pot, and the broken pieces of white porcelain bloomed like fireworks. Generally scattered all over the place.That day I stood in the rain all day, the autumn wind was rustling, it was really cold to the bone.

"Let's go, I don't want you anymore!" The sound of closing the door interrupted my thoughts, and it didn't make much sense to think of those not-so-good memories again. There was bitterness, but it couldn't affect me anymore .

A small figure came out of the dark corridor, and the surrounding environment became darker with his appearance. I couldn't see his face at all, but his figure should be a little boy of eight or nine years old. .Is this Ma Shuo?
Thin and small, with a hammer head and a hunchback, is this really the Ma Shuo who is always arrogant and annoying?

He didn't seem to see me, and kept staring at the ground under his feet, moving slowly, his fat school uniform pants dangling around his ankles, his hands drooped feebly, as if he had been drained of strength.

Where is he going?Was he kicked out by his mother?
I couldn't figure it out, so I could only follow him slowly, neither far nor near.I watched him aimlessly walk out of the neighborhood and onto the street.

The streets that were empty just now were full of voices now, but most of their faces were blurred, and some even had no faces at all.Here is Ma Shuo's memory?
Through the glass of the store, I saw the clock hanging inside. It's only six o'clock in the afternoon?The dim environment, I thought it was night.

The little boy stopped suddenly and followed his gaze, "Mom, can I have a doll?" A little girl with twin ponytails acted softly at a young woman beside her.

"Although you already have a lot, this is different, so let's satisfy you!" The woman pretended to be embarrassed, but finally agreed.

"Yeah! Mom, you are so kind, I like mom the most!" The little girl happily spun around in circles, pressing her face tightly against the woman's.

"Don't you like dad the most? Huh?" A young man in casual clothes also approached, deliberately piercing the unshaven stubble on the little girl's face.

"Ah! Daddy, please forgive me, I like you too!" The little girl was stabbed without noticing, and she fell into her mother's arms with a smile. I was envious of her loud laughter.

It wasn't until the little girl's family left that the little boy moved again, but I felt the surrounding environment became darker. When I reached the end of the street, all the people on the street disappeared again, as if they had never appeared Same thing.

Until this moment, I didn't really understand what Master said about the master of dreams.It turns out that the appearance or disappearance of things in the dream is only a thought of the ruler.

The sky began to wind, and the air became dull, and it seemed that it was going to rain.Even the weather here can change. Except for the light source, there is almost no difference from the outside world. No wonder Master told me not to get lost here.

Huge raindrops fell without warning. I looked at the arm with the red mark and marveled at its strength.

The little boy's originally fluffy hair was smashed and deformed, and round watermarks were left on the loose school uniform.

"Ma Shuo?" I stepped forward and shouted tentatively. Sure enough, the little boy raised his head, his collagen-filled face was covered with tears, and I felt a pain in my heart, as if I saw my former self, alone. Weeping silently.

I took his hand and returned to the community where I first saw him before getting wet.His hand was small and soft, just lying in my palm so quietly.

"Who are you?" The immature child's voice sounded in the darkness, the voice was so small that it could not be heard in the crackling rain, it seemed that he didn't remember me.

Who am I?It seems that it is embarrassing to appear in any capacity.I vaguely discerned the position of his face, "I am my sister."

"I don't have a sister."

"Now." I shook the hand we were holding. I didn't feel any resistance from him when we were holding hands just now. He probably didn't hate me.

He didn't speak, probably because he didn't know how to respond.

"go home."

After a while, I finally heard his voice, "Mom won't let me go back." The pitiful voice made me a little annoyed, you won't go back if she doesn't let you?

"I'm with you." He dragged him upstairs without any explanation.Now that I'm here, I have to figure out what's going on, and running away blindly won't solve the problem.

"Dong Dong." I knocked on the door, I want to see what monsters and monsters are there, push the child out in heavy rain.

With a bang, the door opened, and a pair of white square heel leather shoes and a khaki long skirt, simple yet elegant, came into view. On the slender neck was a standard oval face.This is his mother?No matter how you look at it, you are not a person who is not easy to get along with.

"What's the matter?" The woman inside asked, with a friendly smile on her face, without any impatience.

"It's raining outside, I'll take Ma Shuo back." No matter how she smiles, I don't believe it can't be heard in such a big rain room outside?She didn't rush out to look for it when she heard it, which shows that her love is also very false.

"Come in." The woman glanced at the little Ma Shuo behind me, and I couldn't understand the emotion in her eyes.

Walking into the room, the inside is well-organized, it is the kind of thorough cleanness that can only be found when it is cleaned regularly, and the overall feeling is not bad.

Little Ma Shuo broke away from my hand, went to the sofa and picked up the schoolbag lying on the ground, "Go home and do your homework." She said indifferently to Ma Shuo, then turned around and handed me a glass of water.

This two-level reversal of cold and hot makes me a little at a loss. Why is she so strict with Ma Shuo alone?
"You don't like him?" This is a dream, not reality, I don't need to go around in circles, just ask the doubts in my heart.

It wasn't until Ma Shuo's small figure walked into the room that she pulled a stool and sat next to me.

"He's my son, of course I like him, why do you ask that?"

"Because I didn't feel it, and Ma Shuo couldn't feel it either." Her long hair was draped softly on her shoulders, and she held a cup of hot water in both hands.

"The child's father is gone. I have to let him grow up. I can't spoil him." She smiled bitterly, as if what she was drinking was not water but coptis.

I want to ask her, is success more important than life?I didn't come out to take a look under such heavy rain, but suddenly found that the house was very quiet.I went to the window and looked out, only to find that it was dry outside and it wasn't raining at all!

It's not a world outside here!
She didn't notice my small movements, or she didn't care at all when she noticed, she just said there, "His father is gone, I only have him, he must become stronger"

She kept chanting like that, seemed a little dazed, and suddenly got up and walked towards Xiao Mashuo's room.

I had an ominous premonition, and sure enough, when I rushed in, I saw a scene that made my scalp tingle.
