The familiar streets of Academy City are covered with moss.
Both sides of the street were covered with vegetation and looked like abandoned buildings.
Stepping on the familiar yet unfamiliar streets, a wet sound of "plop, plop, plop" came from the soles of my feet. Although this world was affected by magic, it seemed to be more vibrant than the cold scientific machinery.
the taste of.
The people who were originally groaning on both sides of the street returned to their homes as their violent emotions stabilized.
Different from the feeling it gave people when they first arrived here, the place at this moment has truly returned to tranquility. The people here have returned to their daily lives. No one knows that they have passed by destruction.
The peace that your presence brings here.
Such things are always done by heroes - at this point, Chen Xiaofeng can be called a hero, right?
However, he is also the one who brought destruction here.
He was obviously the one who caused the disaster, but in the end he behaved like a savior. Such a thing is really a bastard. Therefore, in order to atone for his sins, staying here by himself is the best choice.
Although I also want to return to the world where Minato, Yu, Misaka and others live, but sinners have no right to choose that kind of life.
Chen Xiaofeng began to feel annoyed, wondering why he lived in such a pleasant and relaxing world. Was this all punishment for what he had done?
Not willing to... Not willing to not willing to not willing to not willing to not willing to not willing to not willing to not willing to not willing to!
As if being cursed by obsession, Chen Xiaofeng shouted these three words crazily in his heart. It seemed that as long as he did this, his unwillingness would be alleviated and the psychological burden of living here would be reduced.
The number of pedestrians passing by Chen Xiaofeng's forehead changed one after another.
People who had returned to their previous state of mind, although they still had some fears about the changes in the city, could not help but curiously look at Chen Xiaofeng who looked in great pain.
Sure enough, from the beginning, it was destined to have such an imperfect ending...
However, at this moment,
Da da da--
The sound of small footsteps of children could be heard next to me.
Chen Xiaofeng raised his head in surprise, only to find that the child was not running towards Chen Xiaofeng, but happened to pass by Chen Xiaofeng. It is natural to say that in this world where he has never appeared, a character who knows his existence
I can count them on one hand.
The child's footsteps stopped behind Chen Xiaofeng, probably standing in front of his parents.
"...I was just playing hide-and-seek with the kids over there..."
Chen Xiaofeng heard the child's childlike explanation.
"I'm going back... Then wait for me."
As he said this, the child's voice became clearer, probably because he turned to face Chen Xiaofeng, but someone seemed to be holding him back.
"...How is this possible? Even if you want to leave, you can't do it without saying hello loudly..."
The child replied in a serious voice.
Then, brisk footsteps passed by Chen Xiaofeng again.
After the child happily greeted his friends, he reluctantly returned to his parents, and then disappeared with his parents into the moss-covered street...
Chen Xiaofeng stood there blankly like a doll without winding up.
As if he understood something, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Not reconciled...
If you are not willing to do so, then just do what you want. As long as you still have that unwillingness in your heart, then you cannot let it go on like this. Making yourself feel comfortable is the key now... even if the world collapses.
Well, even if the species is destroyed... none of this is important anymore, because if such a thing really happens, then you can use your own abilities to change it!
Human beings...no, zombies, all possibilities exist.
Therefore, what we need to do now is to overcome the unwillingness in our hearts, yes, and clarify what we think in our hearts.
Chen Xiaofeng understood that what he wanted now was not to disappear quietly like this even if it was a farewell. It would be too rude to disappear like this without properly saying hello to everyone!
Chen Xiaofeng took a step forward, and the moist wind - probably the south wind, blew across his face.
"...If you just disappear like this...haha, I can't stand Minato's complaints!"
…
"So...have you decided to go back?"
"Yes..." Chen Xiaofeng nodded, "If I don't say goodbye properly, I'm afraid I will always live in the shadow of such unwillingness."
"But, as you can see, the current collapse is on the edge. As long as you appear in that world for a little bit, drastic changes will occur in this world and that world... Even so, do you still have to do it?"
Chen Xiaoxiao looked seriously into Chen Xiaofeng's eyes.
"It's just a matter of saying goodbye, I think it's still too late... What's more, if something like that really happens, I will do my best to change that fact!"
As long as you use vector operations, it will definitely work!
"but……"
However, it is precisely because I saw your decision, and it is precisely because I cannot see the timeline and space where you exist after this, that I hope you give up and go back... Chen Xiaoxiao bit her cherry-colored lips, and finally
Swallowed these words.
Because she knew that even if she said it, it would not help.
"Then...it's just a matter of saying goodbye, it's settled."
In the end, Chen Xiaoxiao was defeated by Chen Xiaofeng's persistence.
"All right……"
As if she had lost all her strength, Chen Xiaoxiao looked a little tired. She slowly faced You and said, "Then, I leave my observation of this world to you for the time being, Xiao You."
"Guaranteed, there will be no problem at all."
"Yu, you are still so reliable."
Chen Xiaoxiao smiled, and then faced Chen Xiaofeng again: "Let's go."
Saying that, Chen Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand and held Chen Xiaofeng's palm.
"This is the first time in more than ten years..."
"Um?"
"Brother's palm... I didn't expect it to be so warm..."
Chen Xiaofeng heard these words in a daze, but the huge white light that appeared in front of his eyes made him temporarily unable to pay attention to the words spoken by the girl.
The brief dazzling moment quickly faded away, just when Chen Xiaofeng thought he had returned to the land where he grew up...
What appeared in front of him was the fire that could dye the sky red, and the smell of gunpowder smoke filling the air. Academy City at this moment was like a hell-like existence.
"What the hell is this..."
It was not only Chen Xiaofeng who was shocked, Chen Xiaoxiao was also a little surprised and speechless.
Then, a missile flew from the right side of the two people...
