Chapter 989 I really want to live...

"……………………"

"I am..."

Looking around, Xilin found that she suddenly couldn't go out.

She came to the world of memory again, in front of the tree where the memory was formed.

Looking at the dots of light around her that were like twinkling stars, Xilin knew that they were worlds made up of memories.

Looking from here, it looks like stars shining all over the sky.

"What a nice view……"

Unconsciously, Siren stepped forward.

Step by step forward, Siren's surroundings were spinning.

Countless points of light flickered, engulfing her.

Suddenly, Siren came back to her senses.

She wanted to go back, but found that there was no way out behind her.

"What the hell..."

Siren didn't know what was going on.

"Is this a test of 002's power?"

She turned around and suddenly found two people in front of her.

An older little girl, she has long silver hair, as beautiful as the Milky Way.

But even such beautiful long hair could not hide her body that had been destroyed by drugs and experiments.

"Bella~"

Siren's body was trembling, but the girl in front of her couldn't see her.

It was just a memory, a memory from a long time ago, a memory from Bella.

Holding a girl with long purple hair in her arms who was a little younger than her, Bella forced a smile on her frail face.

In this cold laboratory, she used her body to protect her in her arms and put her long, dirty hair in front of her.

"Ci Lin..."

"Didn't you say that my long hair looks beautiful?"

"My mother helped me dress this up. It's very beautiful..."

"If Xilin likes it, you can ask your mother to make it look nice for you."

"So, hold on, live..."

"We will go out, meet dad and mom, have nice clothes, make our hair shiny and slippery, and have lots and lots of delicious food and fun toys."

She was comforting her and the girl in her arms. Even though she herself had been tortured to a terrible state, she was still smiling and letting the girl in her arms keep living. She was deceiving her, deceiving her that the disease would be cured. Then you can go see your mother.

By then, you can have beautiful long hair like me...

"Fool!"

"You obviously know very well that that is impossible."

Standing in front of Bella, Siren's voice was trembling.

However, no matter what she said, no one in front of her could hear her, and nothing that happened in front of her would change.

Yeah, it's just a memory.

The Bella in my memory was so gentle.

How could she not know, how could she not know that this was a place more terrifying than hell, how could she not know that their ending was already doomed from the very beginning when they stepped here.

However, they have no choice but to rely on each other, comfort each other, look forward to each other's future, and look forward to a better life after returning home.

Apart from this, what else can they do?

They are just guinea pigs in captivity.

If they even give up their fantasies, then... they really have nothing.

At this moment, in the memory in front of him, there seemed to be the sound of the door being opened, and a person walked past him.

Bella in front of her also looked in the direction of Xilin, but she was not looking at Xilin, but Bai Mo who came here at this time in that memory.

"Bai Mo~!"

Siren stretched out her hand, and the girl walked past her, but she couldn't touch her, or even interfere.

Arriving in front of them, Bai Mo forced a gentle smile on his somewhat pale face and squatted down.

Looking at Bella who was holding Xilin in front of her and huddled in the corner in fear, Bai Mo stretched out his hand and spoke softly.

"Can... give her to me?"

Bella held Xilin's hand harder, but when she faced Bai Mo's sincere eyes, she was stunned for a moment.

"You'll protect her, right?"

Bella and Bai Mo looked at each other, and a trembling voice came out slowly from her dry throat.

Bai Mo nodded.

"Yes, I will let her live."

"........."

"Is that so..." Bella's eyes were a little lost, but after losing her sight, a smile appeared.

"Then, please."

Letting go of her hand, Bella carefully let go of Sirin who was still in a coma due to the experiment.

Just looking at Siren in her arms who was shaking with pain and fear even in her sleep, Bella cried.

Her tears fell on Sirin's face, but she resisted speaking.

"Great~"

"Ci Lin, you can live..."

"This time the hope is real."

Bella felt the hope of living, the hope of possibly escaping from this hell.

However, this hope only fell on Sirin.

So she gave her blessing, and she also hoped that Siren could truly live, and not be the dream she described.

"Don't you try for it?"

Bai Mo looked at the girl and spoke softly.

She was asking, didn't this girl want to fight for the possibility of living?

However, Bella shook her head.

"I know that's impossible. In that case, you have to reject me cruelly, right?"

"so……"

She raised her head, and when she faced Bai Mo, she tilted her head and smiled. Her smile was very beautiful, and her distinctive long hair swayed gently with her movements, making her seem to have regained some of her complexion.

"Instead of letting hope appear and disappear, it would be better to let her never appear."

At that moment, Bai Mo's body trembled.

The girl in front of me was still a child, but after being tortured in this place, she was forced to become like this.

Doesn't she want to live? How could you not want to.

But because she knew, because she knew Bai Mo couldn't save her, and knew Bai Mo couldn't save more people, she let go.

Witnessing the possibility of living leaving before my eyes, I was so humble that I didn't dare to think about it, and I didn't dare to hope that hope that was destined not to belong to me would fall on me.

In such a hellish world, when she learned that she was going to be left behind, she did not cry, make a fuss, ask for help, or go crazy.

She just let go of the girl in her arms so gently, sent her to Bai Mo, and watched her leave gently.

"sorry."

Bai Mo stretched out his hand and held Bella in his arms.

"I can't save more of you, I'm really sorry..."

"…………"

Watching this scene, Siren did not move or do anything.

She could actually try to find this memory a long time ago, but she didn't dare.

But now, this memory was displayed in front of her when she was defenseless.

She didn't even know how to face it.

"Bai Mo left, holding Xilin in his arms."

Xilin knew what happened next. She spent a very happy life under Bai Mo's protection, with delicious food and fun every day.

There was no experiment, no pain. Naively, she really thought she was almost healed by then.

Think about it, it's really sad.

However, the scene did not change because of Bai Mo's departure.

The scene continued, and Bai Mo left. Although this memory only presented the person in front of his eyes, it did not present the scene at that time.

The scenery around Bella at this time was the sky full of stars, which looked beautiful.

But, it's so sarcastic.

How could we see the stars there? There must be only the boundless darkness.

Bai Mo left, and the sound of the iron door closing was so harsh.

Bella sat there.

She looked at the direction Bai Mo left for a long time.

Until her body started to tremble.

Lowering her head, her long hair fell covering the side of her face.

Bella tremblingly raised her hands to cover her eyes and began to sob.

Tears slid down the corners of her eyes, leaked out between her fingers, and fell to the ground drop by drop.

She cried, she cried very sadly and desperately.

How much she wanted to reach out her hand, how much she wanted to catch her, how much she wanted to see her turn around and give her hope in that life.

But, that is just a fantasy after all.

While sobbing, Siren seemed to hear Bella's longing but humble prayer.

"I really want to..."

"Stay alive."
