I really only stop

"But, but! Even so, Alice, you are still silent! Keep silent as always!"

Hugging his head in pain, Haimer's voice concealed strong emotions that could not be suppressed:

"I have paid so much for you! I have put everything into it! I just want to talk to you. Is it difficult?"

[How can bacteria have thoughts? 】

[The theory you studied is completely wrong!Not even worth recording! 】

[...Don't waste your time and mine anymore, get out. 】

[Why are you so obsessed with proving the impossible?Is the false name of 'breaking the rules' really that important to you? 】

No, no!

"It's not for fame, it's not for being different. The reason I'm trying so hard to prove that Alice has a mind is obviously just—"

After a suffocating silence, in this deserted corner, Haimo finally gritted his teeth and spoke his heart out:

"—I just want to prove that I'm not [lonely]."

Chapter 313 The Dream of Nowhere

"Rustle, rustle."

The low growl that was suppressed for too long did not attract anyone's attention. Like every time before, even after a long time, there was still only the sound of leaves rubbing against Haimo's side.

"...Even so, you still haven't responded to me."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and the original depression could no longer be heard in Haimo's voice.He stood up from the bench and looked at the bottle in his hand seriously:

"But it doesn't matter. After expressing all the grievances in my heart, I feel much better. For me who have no one to confide in, only this self-regulation ability is something to be proud of!"

Perhaps it was because the memory was about to disappear completely. During this period of time, some words I heard in the past seemed particularly clear.

[Bacteria have no mind. 】

--maybe.

[No matter how hard you try, bacteria will not respond to you. 】

——That's right.

[In this case, why do you still insist on it?There is always a return on investment. In the absence of a glimmer of light, isn't everything you do all in vain? 】

Ok?

Has anyone asked me a question like this before?

Noticing that the dividing line between memory and fantasy is gradually becoming blurred, Haimo, who knows what this means, not only did not show a trace of panic, but slowly revealed a masked smile.

——No, it’s not useless.

The voice in my mind didn't seem to be satisfied, and continued to ask:

【why?Your memory is going to disappear completely, and when you look back on your life, you realize that time was wasted on meaningless things.Don't you regret it? 】

Regret?

After being slightly taken aback, Haimo nodded:

"I do have regrets. If I had met Lord Lucy earlier, I might have used my ability to make more useful things—compared to using it as a killing tool, I still feel more comfortable making yogurt .”

The collapse of the memory in his mind became more and more serious. Among the chaotic and complicated fragments, the voice still did not give up, and it seemed that he was not going to leave any room for Haimo to escape:

[Even with all your efforts, in the end, the things you cherish still don’t respond to you—don’t you feel regretful? 】

...It's so straightforward.

With a long sigh, Haimo firmly raised his head, looking at the sun that was gradually setting in front of him:

"do not think so."

【why. 】

"Because of the feeling here."

Stretching out his hand to hold his heart, Haimo didn't know whether he was talking to the voice in his head or telling himself:

"As a member of the Batley clan, I have known my end since I was sensible—complete amnesia. It sounds terrible, but the essence is the same as the death of other races."

"After knowing this, I once fell into a deep panic. I kept asking myself, if all life is doomed to die from the day of birth, what is the meaning of our [existence]?"

【No. 】

"No, there is."

Shaking his head slightly, Haimo looked down at the round bottom bottle in his hand:

"When I couldn't help complaining to her just now, I suddenly understood one thing—"

“[When facing the fear of death, something that can calm the heart and feel warm somewhere—this is what we exist for].”

【…】

As suddenly as it came, the voice in my head disappeared again.With it faded a great deal of past memory.

This complete sense of lack made Haimo's legs go limp and he sat down on the bench just now.But he was not as panicked as before.

"Yes, Alice, you are the only existence that makes me feel warm."

Lifting the pink round-bottomed bottle to his eyes, Haimer just stared at it calmly.

The contempt of others, the incomprehension of the same family, the disgust of everyone... These things that were hated in the past are as small as sand in front of the complete amnesia that is equivalent to death, and when all these things are placed in front of this feeling, even death seems to be Too trivial.

With his right hand stretched out to the back of his head, with a slight force from Haimo, he took off the beak mask that he rarely took off since birth.

No one thought that behind that weird beak mask was actually such a handsome face.

Because he was hardly exposed to sunlight, Haimo's face looked extremely sick and pale.But soon, an abnormal blush spread across his cheeks:

"Cough! Cough-cough-cough!"

Coughing violently a few times, looking at the blood in his palm, Hai Mo's eyes flashed a little clarity:

"Hey...you have to hurry up. If I let other bacteria become the last straw to overwhelm me, I won't forgive myself even in hell."

Although the words seemed to be in a hurry, Haimo calmly and firmly took off his gloves slowly.

Enduring the huge pain in his body, he used trembling hands to forcefully unplug the round bottom bottle, and then activated the magic power to maximize the vitality of [Alice].

I... who is here?

I even forgot the name.

After doing all these last things, Haimo fell on his back to the ground.

In front of his eyes, Alice, who had been completely released, turned into countless star-like light spots, flying around randomly.

Even in the end, I still couldn't get her response, what a pity.

she?

Who is she?

Forget it, every part of the body hurts, I don't have any experience to think about it.

Although I don't know what the light spot in front of me is, but...

"【Really... so beautiful.】"

Satisfied with this last exclamation, the world in front of Haimo's eyes finally fell into endless darkness.

----------------

In the middle of nowhere, Haimer had a long dream.

In the dream, he miraculously met a beautiful girl named Alice.

The girl likes to be quiet very much, she only responds to all his questions with a silent smile.But for some reason, Haimo felt that all this was very natural, and he could read her mind from her smile.

Like childhood sweethearts who have been very familiar with each other for a long time, there is no barrier between them.

In this way, from the first acquaintance to the love, from the love to the marriage.Soon, their first child was born.

Despite the addition of Xiaosheng, this did not affect their previous relationship at all.

Sweetness, beauty, happiness... Although there will be some awkwardness and unpleasantness more or less, but those will pass quickly.Ordinary and beautiful life soon came to an end.

Lying powerlessly on the bed, the elderly Haimo looked sideways at Alice who was holding his hand, and a smile slowly appeared on his mouth:

"Life is long, but looking back, it is only a short moment."

"..."

Alice still didn't speak, but held Haimo's hand silently.A trace of warmth and trembling came from her fingertips, as if she was expressing her reluctance.

"Don't be sad at all, Alice."

Sensing his wife's thoughts, Haimo wanted to hold her hand back, but found that his body could no longer use any strength due to illness and aging:

"I'm leaving first, you have to take care of yourself alone, don't meet me again too soon, remember."

"..."

Seeing his wife crying without saying a word, Haimo thought regretfully in his heart:

Even at the end, she still didn't say a word to me.

But this is enough, meeting her is already the greatest luck in my life.

He sighed in relief, and before dying, Old Haimo even had some leeway to think:

That's fine, if she speaks now, I might be scared to death directly.

So, so be it—

kiss.

——!

Just as Old Haimer allowed the world in front of him to slowly turn gray, and was about to go to another world peacefully, a touch of softness and moistness from his already dry lips made his eyes widen suddenly.

In front of his eyes, his wife, who had obviously grown old with him, suddenly turned into the young girl when he first met.

Compared with before, the only thing that remains the same is the crystal clear teardrops in the corners of her eyes.Big drops fell from the eye sockets, making people feel endless love and apology.

... Ha, I'm really confused.I can still see this hallucination when I am dying.

Allowing his brain to run amok before the strike, with strength from nowhere, Old Heimer reached out and caressed Alice's face:

"Sorry, I can't stay with you any longer—"

"【I love you.】"

"?!"

The chaotic voices poured into my ears at this moment, but Haimo couldn't care less about them.He widened his eyes in surprise, and looked straight at the girl in front of him.

Clearly, her eyes were filled with the world's number one reluctance and sadness, but she still tried her best to reveal a small, beautiful smile:

"【Goodbye.】"

——Then, the dream woke up.

Chapter 314 The Man Who Rebuilt the Bridge

"call!"

Sitting up suddenly from the bed, Haimo took a big breath for a while, and then looked at the surrounding scene with a sense of loss.

Several yogurt samples with densely written annotations were placed around, and some research materials were scattered on the table, everything seemed so calm and natural.

……wrong.

Subconsciously, he reached out to wipe away the wet tears on his face, and Hai Mo's eyes moved uneasily.

Speaking of which, what kind of dream did I just have?

It always feels very long, and the length is not like a dream, but a real and heart-warming experience.
