It's definitely not hallucinations this time.
Xia Ge, who was a little afraid of ghosts, comforted himself: "... Well, go back and eat something good."
"I… don't want to die."
The sound got louder.
I heard it clearly this time.
Xia Ge looked at the child.
The child lost his life.
As the voice gradually became louder, a vague shadow slowly emerged from her body, but under the dark tree, it did not appear to be imposing.
On the contrary, there is a kind of neutral and peaceful atmosphere.
It floated beside the dead child and seemed to be staring at her, a vague shadow that slowly became clear.
It was a child with beautiful eyes, neatly combed black hair, and a face exactly like Doudou, but like a beautifully carved princess, more delicate.
Her beautiful eyes stared at her, quiet and gentle.
Xia Ge suddenly felt that he was not afraid of ghosts.
After a pause, she asked again, "What's your name?"
It shook its head and looked at her with a pair of water eyes, "I don't have a name."
Or have forgotten.
It was a ghost, Xia Ge heard himself say: "I'll help you find your hometown, can you let me call you Doudou?"
"it is good."
Xia Ge asked, "Where is your hometown?"
"… "
Doudou's eyes were a little blurry, "That's a...where there are peach blossoms everywhere."
All over the mountains and plains, peach blossoms that never wither.
"Don't have a name?" Xia Ge paused, seeing Doudou's confused eyes, and added, "I mean, the place name."
There are so many places to grow peach blossoms, where can I find them
Doudou looked at her blankly.
System: "She can't possibly remember."
"Dead, the soul of the world is preserved because of obsession. Except for the obsession before his death, everything else will be forgotten."
Xia Ge: "… "
So why don't you know your name
The system paused, "... Also, at this time... it's best not to let it find out that it's 'dead'."
"why?"
System: "This is a soul that has just come out of the body, and they haven't realized that they are 'dead'. If they find that they are 'dead', then the fragile soul will be demonized directly because they can't accept the reality, or some souls have Obsessions are not completed, in order to complete their unfinished obsessions - but ordinary puppet masters will use 'awaken' at this stage to transfer them to puppets, and the success rate will be 99%..."
"… "
Xia Ge was thinking about what to do, when Doudou looked down at his empty hand, froze for a while, and suddenly said, "It's gone."
Xia Ge looked up at her, Doudou's pupils dilated slightly, and the delicate expression had panic, and the panic slowly began to expand, "It's gone!"
"there is none left-"
She started looking around. "Gone, gone—"
Xia Ge: "What's missing?"
"Ashes—" Doudou began to look around.
- Don't let her find out she's dead.
Xia Ge suddenly blocked her vision when she was about to see her body—
"It's gone." Doudou looked sad, her body even began to emit a little black gas slowly, and her beautiful eyes began to look dull, "...Sister, have you seen my ashes?"
... ashes
System: "Not good! It's going to be demonized!"
Xia Ge: "I didn't let her see her body! Her ashes? How did she know she was dead?!"
System: "Not her ashes! Yes—"
Xia Ge suddenly thought of the two jars that the child was holding tightly when he died.
… do not.
The girl's Bai Nen's hands began to slowly turn black, and the whole person's eyes began to change.
"Didn't my sister see it?" Doudou's voice sounded sad, "If you lose it, then your hometown... is meaningless."
"I saw it!" Xia Ge said.
Doudou's eyes suddenly lit up.
Xia Ge said: "But before that, we can have a discussion, eh."
"… turn around, okay?"
Doudou: "Why?"
Xia Ge said: "Because you turn around, you can see a lot of... pine cones!"
Doudou looked at her in confusion, "What is a pine cone? I just want the ashes."
Xia Ge blocked her corpse and felt a headache, "...you will have ashes."
Yes, everyone will have ashes.
Xia Ge thought of having fun in the midst of suffering.
Doudou stared at her for a while, then slowly turned around.
"I trust my sister." Her voice was soft, looking ahead, "...but I didn't see the pinecone."
Taking advantage of the soul to turn around, Xia Ge struggled to break the jar out of the corpse's hand, "Look at it again... Well, maybe it's in the sky."
Doudou turned back a little unhappy, "Is there anything in the sky, sister, are you lying—"
Her voice stopped.
Xia Ge, who just broke a jar from Doudou's body: "..."
Doudou: "… "
Xia Ge shyly blocked Doudou's sight, and said embarrassedly: "Haha, your twins... my sister is sleeping, look at her, um, she slept soundly, let's not disturb her..."
"… I am dead?"
Doudou looked at her, "I'm dead, right?"
This is an embarrassing question.
"No... Maybe you can recognize each other." Xia Ge struggled to the death.
"But I can't die." Doudou muttered to himself, "I still have... unfinished business."
Xia Ge observed it and found that Doudou showed no signs of being demonized, but the black smoke that came out of the lost urn was gone.
"...I have to send their ashes back." Doudou's tears fell, "I still have, there is still a long, long way to go."
"How can I die?"
"Don't cry." Xia Ge was a little overwhelmed, "You... um, where are you going to take it, I'll take it for you, I... I'm running fast, don't cry."
"But I'm... dead."
"You're not dead!" Xia Ge said, holding the urn, "Who said you were dead!"
Doudou touched the urn, and her transparent hand went directly through Xia Ge's chest.
"...You believe me, this is a dream." Xia Ge said softly, "You are not dead, you are just dreaming."
"Then when will I wake up?"
Soul looked at Xia Ge, his eyes full of sadness, "When will I wake up?"
Xia Ge touched her head: "... Soon, I will wake up soon."
[Resurrection · Awaken].
Doudou's eyes went blank.
System: "This is really a good material for practicing hands."
Xia Ge: "… "
Although Xia Ge had previously bought materials for dolls on the black market, she had no experience.
"...God or the God of Wealth bless." Xia Ge took out the puppet material from the ring, "I'm a good person."
After finishing the materials, Xia Ge looked at Doudou's soul and stopped again.
"… "
What is she going to do
Turning people into puppets... Then ten years have passed, and this child's soul has become a ghost
I don't know why, but Chu Yi's eyes flashed by.
Xia Ge's heart trembled slightly.
"-I can not do it."
Xia Ge stopped, looked at the scattered materials, lowered his eyelashes, "That's it."
System: "But now she..."
Xia Ge stretched out her hand, Doudou opened her eyes and looked at her in confusion.
"You're dead." Xia Ge looked at her quietly.
Doudou didn't speak, just stared at her.
"But I can take you to your hometown." Xia Ge said, "So don't be afraid."
Doudou lowered his head.
Xia Ge made a tomb for Doudou, erected a monument, and wrote "Anonymous".
Doudou looked at his tomb: "Why not write 'Doudou'?"
Xia Ge: "Well... because Doudou is still alive."
Doudou looked at her in confusion.
Xia Ge smiled and said seriously, "Because you are still alive in my heart."
Even if it was a soul, Doudou's face was slightly red: "I'm already dead. Doudou is with my sister, it's... someone else."
Xia Ge was silent for a while: "Sorry."
This is admitted.
"It's okay." Doudou patted Xia Ge's head as she did to comfort her, with a simple look, "I'm glad I can remind you of your old friend."
"If I see someone now who reminds me of my old friend," Doudou said, "I will be very happy."
Xia Ge was slightly startled.
"...Although I don't even remember myself now."
Doudou looked at his humble tombstone, "But I'm still very greedy... I hope that even after a long, long time, someone will remember me like you remember 'Doudou'."
Xia Ge grieved slightly in his heart.
"I will remember you." Xia Ge whispered, "I won't forget it."
"Yeah." Doudou was also optimistic, "That's enough."
One person and one soul are on the way.
Xia Ge discovered that this is not some evil spirit mountain.
There are famines everywhere, people are talking about the great famine, and there is starvation everywhere, which is extremely tragic.
Xia Ge realized this.
She seems to have stepped over the river of time, leaped five hundred years of time, and came to... the past.
It's just that she doesn't have time to find a way to go back.
The ashes in Doudou's hands are her dead parents.
"I don't know... how I got here," Doudou said. "I can't remember anything—it doesn't matter where I'm buried, but I must send them home."
It's just an era of raging war, where to find a quiet paradise.
Xia Ge took Doudou around for a long time, and found a lot of peach trees, but it was not yet the season of peach blossoms—
"The peach blossoms there are always blooming and undefeated." Doudou looked at the unblooming peach trees with gloomy eyes, "...not here."
"It's okay." Xia Ge comforted her, "We can still find it."
It's just that she has time, but Doudou doesn't.
Gradually, she found that Doudou's soul began to thin.
As if to go away.
The stars twinkled.
Xia Ge's eyes were a swaying bonfire.
System: "You have to make a decision quickly."
"You have two options now... Either make her a puppet, or hurry up and get rid of her obsession before she dies, and let her reincarnate."
Xia Ge threw firewood into the bonfire and looked at the transparent figure not far away.
Fireflies are flying in the girl's palm, and her smile is innocent and cute.
"What if neither of them will work." Xia Ge was a little gloomy.
The system's voice was a little cold, "The third way, do nothing, and then watch her go away."
Xia Ge murmured, "… Do you have to find that place?"
Doudou turned back, "Huh?"
"… fine."
Xia Ge unconsciously broke the branch in his hand.
