Chapter 2138 The Last Promise
A long time, maybe a whole night, maybe a lifetime.
Lin En listened to the girl's words in detail, her reluctance and tears. In fact, she didn't really understand anything, but the curse had fixed her mind at that ignorant age forever.
She talked to him a lot.
She said that on many nights, her mother would cry uncontrollably and she would hold her and tell her everything that had happened during this period.
She said that guy Lynn always wanted to tell them some serious things as if they were jokes. He said that he would definitely take them back to the main universe, even if it was later found out that the main universe was already doomed. Even at the front line, he did not get discouraged in front of them. He always told them, "Be full of energy."
She said she had heard what Aunt Angel said to her. She said, Lynn, why do you have to live for others? As they often say, you make yourself a selfish bastard and don’t do anything for others. Heaven is not for the earth, but for yourself, so what?
He had heard Uncle Egwene and Colossus mention it many times.
They want to return to the main universe, but in fact, they have never expected to win this war.
They just want to find a home for the pain caused by the great fall three thousand years ago, want to cry out unwillingly, and want to use death to get a result that they have not become cowardly.
But Lynn...
But he really wants to lead losers like them to win a future.
He is coming to take everyone home, back to the home they once remembered.
"Everyone supports you!!"
Xiaoxiao said loudly with all her strength, but soon she began to mourn again, her whole body trembling.
"Because the end is coming, everyone has no choice, because if you don't fight, you will die, but if you fight, there may be a glimmer of hope... so everyone will follow you..."
But brother...
Just as you love everyone, everyone also loves you.
Just like you have told everyone the story of the Violet King more than once. You said that he finally created a new world. You said that he sacrificed everything he had to keep everyone he loved alive. You say how great he is, but brother, have you ever thought about...
If you are no longer in the new world you create, what kind of torture and pain will it be for those who love you.
"Mom, Dad, Aunt Angel, Uncle Ewen, they all only told Xiao Xiao one truth!!"
She closed her eyes hard and cried with almost all her strength.
"Either we all live together! Or we all die together! Because the most terrifying and unbearable thing in this world is dedication and sacrifice! Because you are very bad! You are very bad!! Because you always want to be the last one Bear everything, because if you really have to sacrifice yourself to get a result in the future, then you will definitely do it without hesitation!"
"Because brother, you have become more and more like the king in your story!!"
Lin En was stunned and couldn't say a word.
Xiaoxiao opened her red eyes, looked at him and said:
"Brother... please don't do this... I know nothing has happened yet, but... if it happens in the future... please don't..."
For Blue Star, you can rush towards the stars with countless anomalies and trigger disasters.
You can leave Zuo Zuo behind and fight the Jailer when the Night City undergoes drastic changes.
You can save Miss Doll, even if you really fall into that lost path of no return.
In order not to cause greater sacrifices, you can face the entire Mechanicum alone and face the craze of ether.
But brother...
If one day in the future.
If you really must choose.
Please don't sacrifice for us, and don't embark on a dangerous road of no return for us.
"Please don't die."
That day.
Linn finally understood.
We have never been afraid of death, because everyone will inevitably die. What we are afraid of is always using your death in exchange for our life.
Linn closed her eyes tightly and hugged the girl in front of her tightly.
"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao, you won't have to make that choice."
"I will definitely cherish my own life, because I haven't had enough fun yet. I will work hard to change, but if nothing can be changed in the end, then I will come back here and be with everyone, together. Waiting for the end to come.”
If we can make a vow to live together, then we can make it.
Then die together.
This may be the last promise he can make.
…
…
He slept deeply this time.
This was also the deepest sleep he had had in the two months since he returned to Night City. It was as if he had almost stopped giving himself time to sleep and rest since he didn't know when.
But this time, he slept peacefully, without those annoying dreams or those things that disturbed his peace.
Until ba liu ba liu——
Feel the smoothness on your cheeks.
Lin En finally slowly opened her eyes and woke up from sleep.
"Well - Brother Doctor - he has changed back -"
What appeared in front of him was Xiao Xiao's (✪ω✪) head. Her tentacles were waving, and she stretched out her long tongue, licking Lin En's face affectionately.
Lin En sat up and looked at Xiao Xiao's expression in front of him, which seemed to never be sad. It was as if the conversation last night was a trance dream. The crying little girl disappeared, and the Xiao Xiao he was familiar with returned to her life again.
She will always stay at that ignorant age. She is always happy and hopes that others are happy.
"Xiao Xiao."
Lin En looked at her face.
"Do you remember what happened last night?"
Xiao Xiao (✪ω✪) said: "I remember - the doctor brother changed Xiao Xiao back to a very beautiful time - Xiao Xiao and the doctor brother said a lot of things - the brother also said a lot to Xiao Xiao - a lot of things - "
"But - "
"Although I remember - but I don't quite understand - it seems to be crying - but I don't know why it is crying - "
Xiao Xiao's tentacles scratched his head and stuck out his tongue.
"Brother, do you remember——"
She looked at Lin En (✪ω✪) and moved closer.
Lin En paused for a moment, then jumped up all of a sudden, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he returned to his human appearance, put his hands on his waist and laughed a few times, then adjusted his monocle and said:
"Well, I seem to remember it, but I don't remember it! It must be sand in my eyes, okay! Don't think about yesterday anymore! Where do you want to go today? Brother will take you there!"
"Let's go——Let's go fishing where dad takes a bath——٩(๑＞◡＜๑)۶Ola——Dad said that he eats fish there every day——He vomited——Xiaoxiao also wants to go there and vomit!! Ola——!"
"Okay! Let's go to Beihai today! (*๓´╰╯`๓)! Take you to vomit!"
"Brother, don't die——!"
"Don't die, don't die! Definitely not!!"
"Really don't, brother——"
"If Xiaoxiao wants, I can die once in a while~"
"..."
