Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 608 Sea and Night

"how come?"

The other party suddenly made a surprised voice, Lan raised her head in doubt, and the other party's beautiful cheeks were full of disbelief at this time.

Through a pair of eyes as clear as water, she saw her own reflection.

The left side of her face was covered with all kinds of ugly scars, not only that, after removing the mask, even the other half of her smooth face was gradually infected by the scars on the left side. In just two or three seconds, her entire face It was covered with scars again.

The peerless beauty turned into the ugliest face in the world in an instant, but Lan suddenly felt relieved.

This is the way I am most familiar with, and it is also the way I should be.

"How is it possible... you clearly..."

Asuo's face no longer had the confidence it had before, it was full of surprise, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

She couldn't understand why such a result occurred?
At this moment, Asuo had a perfect face, which formed the strongest contrast with the crippled Lan on the opposite side.

The most beautiful and the ugliest, standing in front of Lan, she should have been more confident, obviously, this beautiful face should be the one he wanted... Could it be...

——Compared with beauty, she would rather return to that ugly look?
"It's not hope, it's recognition..."

Lan exhaled softly, raised his head and smiled at Asuo.

The result just now was like clearing the clouds and seeing the sun. At this moment, she understood many things.

"what?"

"I mean, you and I, we don't want this ugly face, but we identify with this face. No matter how we hope in our hearts, and no matter what outsiders think, deep down, only this face is our own. The most recognizable look."

Facing Asuo's somewhat at a loss, Lan smiled slightly.

"You are right. It is true that His Royal Highness here is what I want to see the most, but why is the self here not an idealized product? Everyone has flaws, and His Royal Highness outside does have various traits. This is the same for me, but it is because of this that we can be called a living person. Those who can exist in this dream are all idealized people. The reason why I cannot stay here is because It's because I'm not perfect."

Lan looked at the beauty in front of her, and a voice like an announcement came out.

"The person who should stay here, the person who wants to stay here... is not me, but you!"

It is precisely because she is what she should be, that Lan can speak out confidently.

"I am Lan, and I am Asuo, both of them are me! So... who are you?"

"who I am?"

Ah Suo suddenly started to tremble, because she found that she couldn't find the answer to this question.The other party occupied her existence as soon as he opened his mouth, but he couldn't snatch it back, because she also began to believe in her heart that she had always been just a fake.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Asuo's beautiful face gradually became distorted, and his body began to become lighter and lighter.Finally, with the collapse of the surrounding scenes, they merged and compressed together, condensing into a group of transparent bubbles.

Lan stretched out his hand to catch the slowly falling bubbles, and pictures flashed through the bubbles. They were all his memories of the past two years here. From the beginning to the end, there were no vigorous scenes. Full of light and warm daily life.

"So that's how it is..."

Looking at the nearly transparent bubbles, Lan couldn't help but smile wryly.

She thought that the embodied Asuo was her heart, but now she finally understands that is not the case.Only I know my true heart, and Ah Suo is actually just the product of the dark side of her heart being exploited by the nightmare.

In the end, the last paragraph was actually just a test she set for herself.

But thanks to this test, she has a clearer understanding of her heart.Regarding Your Highness, what do I really think and hope for in my heart, do I really need to stay in such a dream?

No.

Just like her dream at the moment, it is not pure white or pure black like other human beings, maybe she will be addicted to it in the process, but when the experience of the past two years is condensed, it finally turns into a transparent color.

If black represents sadness, white represents joy.What about transparent colors?It's not that there is no sadness or joy, but that her dream is almost the same as reality.

"I am happy enough in the real world..."

Lan smiled lightly, what more could I ask for?
She raised her hand, and the bubbles slowly floated up, and when they reached the highest point, they shattered with a bang.In reality, Lan also opened his eyes.

The room was still brightly lit. Lan got up and looked around, but she didn't see His Highness as soon as she opened her eyes as in the previous two days.

It was still pitch black outside the window, and it was temporarily impossible to tell what time it was.

Lan was not surprised, she knew where Kong Zhe was, and the two of them had already discussed the next plan during the day yesterday.

Putting on a black dress, Lan stood in front of the mirror, and what appeared in the mirror at this moment was her familiar and ugly face.

"Today is the last..."

In the future, I will have no chance to become the beautiful appearance in my dream.

Regret?
Lan shook her head. At this moment, her feeling of looking at this face was the same as when she saw a beautiful face in a dream, and everything was just plain.

Just as the beauty in a dream does not make her happy, the ugliness of the moment does not make her feel any sadness.Just like when I met His Highness for the first time, no matter whether it was His Highness the Prince in childhood or Kong Zhe in this life, when they first saw themselves, the first expressions on their faces were only plain, just like their current expressions. Same.

Lan finally understood that what she saw when she looked at her, His Royal Highness, who had the most clear state of mind, was never the appearance, and he was the only one in this world who could do this. He always believed that the prince and Kong Zhe were the same person.

Lan smiled slightly, straightened her smooth long hair with both hands, hooped it up, took the rubber band in her mouth with one hand, and tied it into a capable ponytail.

After tidying up, Lan jumped out of the rear window and climbed along the wall with both hands.

Even without magic power, this kind of thing that ordinary people can't do is the foundation of the foundation for a top assassin.

Within a few jumps, Lan had already jumped to the top of the building, supported herself on the edge of the wall, and landed lightly on the top floor.

Looking up, Lan saw Kong Zhe sitting on the highest part of the building not far away.

Hearing the voice, Kong Zhe looked back and was suddenly surprised.

"Lan? Why do you..."

He thought that Lan would have to deal with his affairs all night. During the discussion before, the two had already agreed to start the action tomorrow night.I didn't expect Lan to appear here in the middle of the night.

Kong Zhe jumped from the eaves to the roof, seeing that Lan had already changed his clothes at this moment, even her hair was tied up abnormally, it seemed that she was well prepared.

"Lan, are you really ready..."

Kong Zhe was a little hesitant, he thought that Lan was afraid that he would be anxious, so he forcibly cut off the dream and woke up.

"I mean... not tonight, if you..."

"Your Highness, I'm ready..."

Lan directly interrupted Kong Zhe and smiled at him.

"Don't worry, I have... said goodbye..."

"so……"

Kong Zhe stared at her for a long time, seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, and then nodded.

"Okay, then don't waste time, let's start now..."

Kong Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, took a pair of maps and a short sword from his waist, and handed them to Lan.

Lan took it and nodded.The two looked at each other, then jumped off the roof from two directions, and rushed to their respective planned positions.

Lan's body was as light as a butterfly, landing lightly from a height of tens of meters without even making a sound.

When she was in the air, she had already opened the map and looked at it. It was a hand-painted map, on which the outline of the entire island was outlined. Due to the rough lines, she could barely recognize it. Fortunately, the island was not It is large, and there are many key buildings in it.

Lan searched for a few minutes, and soon found the location marked on the map.

This is a high platform, which is probably the center of the entire paradise. Lan stood on the high platform, looked around, and after confirming that there were no rabbitmen around, she pulled out the dagger in her hand from its scabbard.

For a moment, golden light overflowed, and the unique golden light of the short sword instantly illuminated the surroundings.

This sword is exactly Anna's 'Moxie' sword. Since it has been bound, Lan can only use its basic functions, but cannot control its own light to converge.

Fortunately, Lan had been prepared, and hurriedly took out a roll of cloth to wrap the short sword, which reduced the light a little.

Although there is still some faint light coming through the gap, but fortunately those rabbitmen have poor eyesight, so it is difficult to find what is going on here as long as they are not close.

Lan compared the blueprints, held up the short sword and kept gesticulating on the high platform. After drawing several lines, he finally determined a location.

Lan raised his sword and stabbed at the stone floor there. The hardness of the artifact was beyond the reach of ordinary materials. With a 'chi' sound, it was like a hot knife cutting into the ice and snow, and Mo Xie's sword entered without any hindrance.

With such a convenient tool, Lan's work became much easier. After a few swipes, the entire stone was torn apart.Lan removed a layer of gravel on the surface, exposing the soft ground below.

Of course, this is not enough, this is not the real surface.

Lan continued to dig, and when he dug half a meter deep, he finally felt a hard touch on the dagger.

Lan hurriedly pushed aside the surrounding soil layers, and sure enough, what caught her eyes was not a rock layer, but a layer of emerald green scales like gems.

Is this the skin of a nightmare...

Lan exhaled, raised the sword in his hand with both hands, and stabbed down fiercely.

"Ding!"

There was a sound of gold and iron clanging, and Lan was a little shocked to find that this knife had no effect!

Perhaps it was the feeling of cutting iron like mud when chopping rocks before that gave Lan the illusion that this divine sword could cut through everything, but now this knife goes down, let alone piercing, not even a scratch.
