NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 373 Loneliness

Yingzhou, Honshu Island, Shinjuku District.

Farewell Robert,

Ye Feng appeared in the ruins of the commercial district.

【How did you get here? 】

A hint of doubt flashed through Ye Feng's mind.

He originally planned to go to the flower sea below the elevator.

But for some reason, it appeared on the surface.

In a flash,

It seems as if time has gone back to the past.

He stood on that familiar yet unfamiliar land, with a complex emotion surging in his heart.

The surrounding scenery remains the same, but everything seems different.

The cable bridge they once walked across together swayed in the wind, as if telling of the ruthlessness of time.

The lawn where they once played was now dry and withered, looking a little desolate.

He closed his eyes and let the flood of memories overwhelm him.

Those hearty laughs, warm hugs, and affectionate gazes all seem to be replayed as if it were yesterday.

There was a faint sadness in the air, as if even the wind was whispering the sorrow of the past.

His footsteps were heavy, and every step seemed to be crossing the long river of time, and every step was on his heart.

He gently touched the places where their footprints were once left, feeling the warmth of the past and the sadness of the present.

"Senior, 2B..."

The elevator slowly descended, and the loneliness in my heart became more intense.

The elevator door slowly opened,

The bright light came into his eyes and illuminated his cheeks.

"It's so bright..."

The moon seemed to fill the entire earth, its light soft and mysterious.

Light up the entire night sky.

Each flower is light silver-white, sparkling with glittering luster, like the tears of the moon, dripping on the earth.

It is also like the splendor after the fall of a beautiful creature.

Every flower seems to have its own story, as if telling a thousand-year-old legend.

Wandering in this sea of flowers, you can feel an indescribable tranquility and peace.

The moonlight falls on my body, just like being caressed by gentle fingers, taking away all my worries and sorrows.

Here, time seems to stand still, with only the fragrance of flowers and moonlight as company.

A soft singing sound came from the sea of flowers, as if telling everything that had happened in the past.

It also seems to be hoping that the moon's tears can nourish every piece of land and let the flower of life bloom forever.

“Life is so beautiful!”

"Hello! Who are you? Why are you here?"

A sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.

A big round head rolled over through the sea of flowers and stopped in front of him.

"Emile?"

Ye Feng looked at the round head and called out his name in surprise.

"You... have heard my story?" Emile widened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.

Ye Feng nodded: "I know your story."

"Ah?" Emile was full of doubts: "Did I tell you, why don't you remember? Your memory is so bad recently..."

"Are you... here to reminisce about your old friends?" Emile asked cautiously.

Ye Feng didn't say anything and nodded.

Emil's expression revealed a hint of melancholy, and his brows were slightly furrowed:

“This is to commemorate my best friend. I remember she always sat under the eaves of the cottage, looking at us with a smile on her face.

But there is another friend, but I can’t remember him.

Sigh... I always feel like I've lost something important.

It’s been so long that I can’t remember.”

Emile raised his head and blinked his eyes and asked:

"When did you...say goodbye to your best friends? You should still remember."

Hearing Emile's question, a strange expression appeared on Ye Feng's face.

He nodded and said, "Three years later."

Hearing this, Emile seemed to be thinking about something, and said comfortingly: "The time is too short, only three years. Time will heal..."

suddenly,

Emile's body shook violently, as if he had been electrocuted.

His eyes widened, pupils dilated, and his breathing became rapid and shallow.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze.

"I've seen you!"

After a long time, four words came out of Emile's mouth.

Like a thunderclap, Ye Feng was shocked.

"when!?"

"Three years later. You, a boy, and a girl. Oh, and a ragged girl."

"What did you say?"

The blood color on his face faded in an instant, replaced by a paleness, and every hair on his skin stood up.

It seems that I can feel the chill in the air.

His mind went blank, all his thoughts were swallowed up by the sudden shock.

"I have a memory that doesn't belong to the present, but I don't know where it came from. Maybe I mistook a dream for reality.

How could such a thing happen? It is really puzzling."

Ye Feng pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

But what does it matter if you can't figure it out?

As the saying goes, if you have too many lice, you won't be afraid of itching.

If you want to solve all the mysteries, I am afraid you may not be able to do it even if you spend your entire life.

Why not be more free and easy, recite useless poems, drink useless wine, do useless things, and eventually become a useless person.

"That's probably me in this time and space."

and,

You're already dead, why bother with so much!

"This flower is for you. I can sense that we are in the same boat."

At some point, Emile was holding a freshly picked Moon Tear in his mouth.

He jumped up and handed the flower to Ye Feng.

"It is said that the Moon Tear is a magical flower that can grant wishes."

Ye Feng looked at the bright white, smelled the faint fragrance of flowers, and smiled with relief:

"Emile has someone he wants to meet too, you will definitely meet them again."

"Thank you for your good words. Goodbye, I want to stay here for a while."

"Take care, Emil!"

Ye Feng thought about it and prepared to leave, but found himself still staying where he was.

He raised his wrist to check the energy indicator and couldn't help but snicker.

Then he smiled and waved to Emile.

Go to the elevator.

……

"Reincarnation"

Ye Feng sat on a big rock, staring at the cable bridge that he would not be able to cross three years later, and smiled blankly.

Since you have been through the same shit, you can't let others follow your path.

I am the most powerful person in this world, and I will uphold justice.

When the road is rough, draw your sword to help.

of course,

If you don't see it, don't pull it out.

If there were more people like me in the world, wouldn't the world be peaceful?

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Ye Feng showed a villain smile, and his expression looked very sinister.

"I am indeed a kind person."

In some fantasy dramas of Dragon Country, the high and mighty immortals and gods would wipe out all living beings in the world at any time.

He even said in a high-sounding manner that it didn't matter if he let down the whole world for the sake of the one he loved.

You are noble! You are amazing!

Polite people in the world: "You!"

After a long time.

"It's time to leave!"

Ye Feng jumped up from the stone and glanced around.

Say your final goodbye to this city that you are so familiar with.

I don’t know where Popola and Divara are now.

I heard they are on the other side of the desert.

Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to a small town far in the northwest of the desert.

After a quick glance,

The distance is too far and nothing is gained.

"Why not go and take a look?"
