Fisher gently raised his hand and pressed the button for the 18th floor. The elevator shook slightly, and the scarlet numbers on the display began to beat as the floors changed.
As she got closer to a certain space on the tower, Jasmine's palms tightened on Fisher's sleeves harder, and the hairs on her body stood up, as if she felt an instinctive feeling invisibly.
Fear like that.
"hiss"
"Ding~"
A biting chill filled the air, especially when the elevator door slowly opened.
The eighteenth floor outside the door was pitch black, as if the elevator door opening was not a residential building, but a door to hell.
"Mr. Fisher, I'm a little scared."
"Don't be afraid, Jasmine, let's go."
Fisher took a deep breath, gently held Jasmine's hand and walked in front. As soon as he stepped into it, the originally closed door of a room on the right creaked open.
It revealed a fairly spacious space inside.
In the darkness, Fisher raised his eyes and glanced at the house number. It seemed to be room number "1801".
He raised his feet and cautiously walked to the door to look inside, but to his surprise, the environment inside seemed to be very normal, but because the lights were not turned on, it looked particularly dark against the dark sky outside.
Fisher saw several pairs of high heels scattered in the entrance, several pieces of unpacked clothes scattered on the sofa in the living room, the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, and the kitchen on the other side near the entrance
It feels like it hasn't been used in a long time.
The entire living room was completely silent. The only thing that was slightly brighter was a mirror hanging in the entrance hall connecting the living room. The mirror was wiped clean. It seemed that someone often stopped in front of the mirror to review and arrange their clothes.
""
This is the home where Asuka Karasawa grew up?
Fisher looked around. Although he didn't notice anything unusual for a while, for some reason, just standing at the door, a feeling of depression and almost despair fell silently on Fisher's heart.
Jasmine, who was hiding behind him and looking quietly at him, felt a little nauseous and had to suppress her urge to ruminate at all times.
Fisher led her slowly into it. The door behind him was not closed, and a cold draft blew past behind him, rolling up some of Jasmine's black hair.
"Teacher Fisher, I seem to have remembered it."
"What?"
Fisher turned around and saw Jasmine covering her mouth and staring at the mirror.
In her eyes, Jasmine seemed to once again see the figure of the young girl who was beaten by her mother. This time she was still sallow and skinny, sitting obediently in this dead silent room, sitting in front of the bright mirror.
.
She suddenly remembered why the little girl kept sitting in front of that mirror.
Because in this lifeless and messy home, apart from her mother's wardrobe, this mirror was the only place that the mother often visited.
So the young girl tried to stay in front of the mirror, trying to attract her mother's attention.
It's just that she was too young and couldn't tell that her mother only looked in the mirror before going out in the morning. She didn't understand why her mother, who smelled of alcohol when she came back in the evening, wouldn't stop in front of the mirror.
It's just that she was too young to understand why her mother invested all her money in the stock market, hoping to turn around and become rich and powerful, even though she couldn't even afford to eat, and bills for debts were always sent to her home.
Jasmine panted and knelt on the ground. At this moment, she seemed to be finally awake when she returned here. The sky outside the window had completely turned scarlet, as if silently expressing the anger of the entire dream.
Jasmine covered her face and asked Fisher in a low voice, very puzzled,
"Why did Teacher Fisher bring me here? Isn't it good to just stay in Kyoto and stay with my parents?"
Fisher opened his mouth and was silent for a moment. He still squatted on the ground, looked at Jasmine and said,
"When I was in Kyoto, I saw a smile you had never shown before. I know that you should be very happy there, whether it is your parents who love you, your normal school life, or your love with me.
"
"Then why why"
Jasmine trembled and moved the hand covering her face away, revealing her eyes that had turned into scarlet. She stared at Fisher in front of her, her tone became even more confused,
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to stay here forever, in a sweet dream? Obviously everything is about to become a reality. Isn't Mr. Fisher unhappy here? Soon, whether it is Rafael
Even if other people will fall into their dreams, I will not hurt them. Teacher Fisher, you know very well that I will not attack anyone."
"I know that Jasmine, you secretly envy Heller and hate her, but you still arranged for her to be a teacher. How could you hurt others? Except for yourself, you are not willing to let anyone down."
"Then why"
"Kakakaka!"
At this moment, the whole room began to distort with Jasmine's thoughts, and the dusty walls around it seemed to have turned into a cage in the distortion, trying to lock Fisher here forever.
Yes, Jasmine, who was immersed in a sweet dream at this moment, finally realized that Fisher took her away from Kyoto and brought her to Tokyo not for any trip, but to awaken her pain in the past and to allow her to change from a beautiful past.
Wake up.
That's why Jasmine is so puzzled.
She gasped in pain and sat tremblingly on the ground. She sat in front of the bright mirror as fragile and helpless as before, hugging her knees tightly.
And Fisher looked at the twisted room in all directions, as if standing here at this moment, he could see this cage-like world through the perspective of young Asuka Karasawa.
""
Fisher was silent for a while, and then looked at the cardboard box of Taiyaki that he was still holding in his hand. He took a deep breath and suddenly asked Jasmine,
"Jasmine, how do you feel when you eat Taiyaki?"
"Why?"
Jasmine raised her scarlet eyes and looked at Fisher, who was looking down at the taiyaki box, wondering why he asked so suddenly.
But Fisher just lowered his head, looked at the taiyaki and said softly,
"You know, when I ate this Taiyaki, I first felt the sweetness, but I couldn't tell what the sweetness was. I just felt it was sweet, as if I had never tasted it before. Then it came to my throat.
, is a very bitter and bitter taste. The whole piece of food is like something that does not exist in the clouds."
""
"Jasmine, you have never eaten Taiyaki before, so you can only use your imagination to describe its taste, but no matter how you try to remedy it, you still can't hide its bitter taste. Even if you lie to yourself, this is what you have been thinking about since you were a child.
The delicious taste, when you taste it, you have lost your longing for it, and you can only recall again and again that the reason why you failed to get it came from your mother, right?
"In the dream, Scrophulariaceae put on the apron that your mother never put on, and Gelsemium put down the Buddhist scriptures that your father never put down. Their relationship is as happy as you imagined. If you are really satisfied,
Why come here, even if I don't say anything, your dream still collapses uncontrollably?"
Fisher's eyes slowly left the taiyaki carton, and regretfully fell on Jasmine, who was trembling all over in front of him.
"Because what you get now can never make up for the regret you didn't get in the past, Jasmine.
"It's like putting together a piece of a puzzle. In the past, you have been waiting for your mother, your father, or fate to give you a piece of the puzzle to complete your childhood, but it cruelly gave you nothing. How are you now?
It is easy to come to the next piece of the puzzle. Fate has given you the pieces to complete this piece of the puzzle. Whether it is Scrophulariaceae or Gelsemium, they are all, but you want to use this piece of the puzzle to complete the previous piece.
The regret of not being able to put it all together
"Can you make it up, Jasmine?"
Jasmine grabbed her hair tightly, her scarlet eyes flashed, and she asked unwillingly,
"What's wrong with this? Mr. Fisher, you know that, right? Obviously as long as this continues, everything will become real. No matter which piece of the puzzle it is, it will eventually merge into one, and everyone will own it.
People will forget that this is a dream, and even I will forget that this is a dream and sink into it completely. What’s wrong with that?”
"Yeah, if we get to that point, if this lie is enough to deceive everyone, including yourself, maybe there is really nothing wrong with it. I can be a teacher with peace of mind, and you can grow up safely and happily, and be a teacher.
Ordinary people, but unfortunately, reality will not let dreams last forever. Instead of letting reality wake you up cruelly, it might be better for me to be the alarm clock."
Jasmine was stunned for a moment, as if she still didn't understand what Fisher's words with a wry smile meant, and a crisp round of applause sounded at the door.
Fisher turned his head expressionlessly, and Jasmine stared blankly at the blond-haired Helaire who appeared at the door of the constantly twisting house, carrying a paper bag, and the extremely excited Renee beside her.
Heller covered his mouth and chuckled, and said with some regret,
"Does reality refer to me? Renee, do you still remember what I said?"
Renee blushed, and with Fisher's slightly stunned expression, she clenched her fists and shouted loudly to Fisher and Jasmine,
"Molly! I am here to declare war on you!! Teacher Fisher is mine!!"
Heller patted Renee's head with satisfaction and said with a smile,
"Not bad, very energetic."
Jasmine's eyes widened, and she stared blankly at Renee in front of her, and then glanced stupidly at Fisher next to him, who was covering his face. She didn't understand why they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Renee was almost trained by Heller.
What a fool.
Fisher sighed, gritted his teeth and looked at the smiling Helaire standing next to Renee.
"It's true that there's nothing good about being around you, Helaire."
"Hey, it's really too much, my dear." Heller smiled and touched his chin, then raised his paper bag and said to Fisher, "But it doesn't matter, everything is almost over.
Isn't it?"
She has reunited with another incarnation?
Fisher glanced at the paper bag she was carrying and was shocked, but quickly calmed down. He looked back at the shaken Jasmine next to him. He was actually sure in his heart that Jasmine would resolve the dream next.
Although it is different from the original plan, if they escape from the dream, Lamastia and the others who are waiting outside should be able to deal with Helaire and her other incarnation very well.
"Jasmine, listen to me, no matter what, we must get out of the dream first, otherwise"
Wait, that's not right
According to what she said before, she had to make the dream unstable in order to merge with her incarnation. At this moment, the dream was already unstable and would probably be resolved in the next second, but she still had the confidence to walk in front of her.
Unless she is sure that Lamastia and the others cannot interfere with her next actions?
is it possible?
In a brief moment of lightning, Fisher's mind suddenly figured it out like an enlightenment.
Is Heller lying?
No, not really, but Fisher soon realized that what she had done was even scarier than lying.
She told half the truth!
Jasmine is in charge of dreams, right?
But what if Jasmine doesn't completely control this dream alone?
If, in addition to the dream, there are other individuals who can be connected with the dream, then when Jasmine logs out of the dream, the dream will not be completely destroyed, but will be crumbling.
In this way, the dream can exist so that Lamastia outside can't interfere with her plan, and the dream can also be made not strong enough to contain her incarnation's ability to separate the nature of her body.
So, besides Jasmine, who else is in charge of this dream?
In a brief second, Fisher's mind was like thunder from heaven and fire on earth. He understood everything almost instantly. The next second, he quickly turned to look at Jasmine, who was struggling to choose to believe in him.
But Jasmine raised her hand with tears in her eyes, wanting to reach out to Fisher,
"Teacher Fisher, you and me"
The smile on Helaire's face became more and more playful, as if as long as Jasmine said the word "go", her plan would come true.
But in the next second, something unexpected happened!
"No you can't leave yet!!"
The moment Jasmine raised her hand, in the mirror she was leaning against, a young girl with long black hair, wearing a magic robe, and her head lowered suddenly stood up.
She suddenly stretched out her arm with long nails toward Jasmine who was about to extend her hand outside the mirror. The blood filled the sky suddenly, as if the whole world was going to be destroyed.
She pinched Jasmine who was leaning outside the mirror, and the next second, a scene that stunned Fisher was revealed.
But he saw that the figure of the bloody black-haired woman in the mirror gradually changed into that of JK uniform, and her face also changed into Jasmine; and outside the mirror, Jasmine, who originally stretched out her hand towards Fisher, had black hair.
It began to grow, the nails began to become longer, and the uniform began to turn into a simple magical costume.
The identity of the person in the mirror and the person outside the mirror instantly changed at this moment, while Renee in the distance shrank her eyes and looked dumbfounded.
Under her long black hair, she revealed a hysterical and extremely beautiful face.
She is still exactly the same as she was ten thousand years ago, she is still so young, and she has the same years as those who have been transferred.
It's just that simple yet powerful magic wave that is about to destroy the entire dreamland and the entire spiritual world.
That is, the ancestor of magic and the true president of the Society of Creation
Karasawa Asuka.
Fisher took a breath, and before he could speak, he saw Asuka Karasawa lowering her head, the scarlet light in her eyes turning, looking at Heller and Renee next to her, with a hoarse and terrifying voice.
asked,
"Who are you going to declare war on?"
Heller said nothing and hid behind Renee.
Renee opened her mouth wide, and just when she was about to defend herself, Asuka Karasawa, who lowered her head, gently hooked her hand, and the entire tower suddenly collapsed.
The walls in all directions shattered, then hung upside down and floated upward into the sky.
"Boom!"
And in mid-air, the cement and steel bars were distorted by countless forces and reorganized instantly, until the former building materials miraculously turned into chain-like ropes that suddenly wrapped around Renee and Heller.
Reflected on Ni's frightened pale expression and Helaire's smiling face, they were instantly pulled into the air.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
Renee's screams echoed in the air, but Asuka seemed as motionless as a sculpture, only looking indifferently at Heller and Renee, who were flying higher and higher and farther and farther above.
Then, the entire Tokyo buildings seemed to have lost the restraint of gravity. Like spears and cannonballs, they headed towards Heller and Renee in the sky with a terrifying roaring sound. They were going to directly
Smash them to pieces in mid-air.
"Boom!"
"UuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuHe save me, Teacher Fisher, wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Renee's scream came from the sky, causing Fisher to quickly turn his head and look at the woman with her head lowered and her body covered in scarlet red.
"Asuka!"
This seemed to be their first meeting after thousands of years.
Among the black hair blown by the strong wind, what was exposed was her pair of eyes that seemed to contain all the magic in the world.
