When Ultraman appears in reality, however:

The rain lasted much longer than I expected, as if it had endless patience and determination and was unwilling to stop easily.

I'm not sure if there's any concept of time here.

Because in my direct perception, the night seemed to be extremely long.

It was long enough for me to have enough time to observe all the details around me, even counting the number of trees outside the window one by one.

Every tree is like a silent witness, quietly watching this long rainy night.

The old sawdust on the cabinet became my companion in boring times. I counted them over and over again, trying to find some pattern or meaning.

Ultimately, it was just a way to kill time, and over time, I got used to the aching feeling.

It is no longer as strong as it was at the beginning, but has gradually blended into my heart and become a silently existing background sound.

It's like I've always lived with this emotion.

……

"So you're going to Yue Ji's house?"

It is the National Day holiday of the 24th year. Pantene asked Ma Xiayi in disbelief, and the latter nodded.

"Yes, after all, Yishilin wanted to take a look, saying that if she saw the structure of the house, she might be able to remember it. I couldn't stop her, but this is the only way."

Pan Ting wanted to say something else, but Wang Ye shook his head and gestured.

"It's okay. If she wants to go, let her do so. After all, isn't there no one at Yue Ji's house?"

After saying that, he also put his right hand around Pantene's waist and abdomen, which was undoubtedly a bit ambiguous. Now Wang Ye seems to have a good appearance after the transformation, and Pantene is quite satisfied with it.

"Yeah, there's not many people at home..." Pantene replied immediately. The couple's bodies were getting closer and closer, as if something unspeakable was about to happen.

Just when the two were about to start being affectionate, Ma Xiayi got on the subway first and said goodbye to them.

She had had enough of Pantene and Wang Ye along the way. They had originally planned for the three of them to go out for a meal and watch a movie, but ended up being fed dog food like crazy.

Under normal circumstances, Ma Xiayi would have accepted it, but whenever the word Yue Ji appeared in the conversation, she felt a little restless.

When she thought of the fit person who was drifting further and further away from her beautiful daily life, it was difficult for her to integrate into the bustling reality.

She felt like a bystander, watching their happiness, while Yue Ji left the world like this.

Ma Xiayi was sitting on the subway, looking at the platform name on the display screen, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

Yue Ji is more lively than anyone else, but also quieter than anyone else.

By the time everything changed, he had already died in an unknown space. No one knew, and no one should know.

"Xia Yi? Xia Yi?"

A voice kept calling her name, but Ma Xiayi seemed completely immersed in her own world and did not respond at all.

After a while, a faint fragrance drifted into her nose, making her raise her head involuntarily. At this time, she found that Yishilin was standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile.

"Why didn't you answer the phone? Luckily I saw you as soon as I walked in the door." Yishilin said softly.

"Ah... sorry, sorry! I was daydreaming by accident. I forgot to send you a message. Let me check the platform later!"

Ma Xiayi woke up as if from a dream, with a trace of embarrassment and apology on her face. She hurriedly took out her phone to check the information and began to look for the correct platform. This action made Yi Xilin beside her laugh out loud.

"Little cutie, why are you looking at your phone? Why don't you just look at the display next to you?"

Time passed by minute by minute, and half an hour passed in a flash. Ma Xiayi and Yi Xilin finally arrived at the gate of Yue Ji's community.

As soon as they stepped through the security gate for checking vehicle entry, a burst of crisp dog barking reached their ears.

Immediately afterwards, a huge golden retriever rushed out like an arrow, as if it had already recognized Ma Xiayi, and ran straight towards her.

“No no no!!!”

"Wow! What a cute dog."

One person escaped and the other one greeted him with a smile, but the golden retriever seemed to have no interest in Yishilin. He just bypassed Yishilin's jade hand and continued to pounce on Ma Xiayi.

"No!!!!"

……

I want to close my eyes and let them rest for a moment.

However, no matter how hard I tried, my left eye could not close completely. This made me start to wonder, maybe I am not a pure human? But soon, I denied this idea.

Because when I tried to close my right eye, the pain and discomfort became even more intense. So, driven by instinct, I could only look at the street lights outside the window.

Looking at that beam of light, my mood gradually calmed down. This feeling is actually not bad, although lonely, but also peaceful.

I like this atmosphere and enjoy this alone time. Therefore, everything else becomes unimportant.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by a sharp "click" that I was sure I had never heard before.

As time went by, the "clicking" sound became more and more frequent, and each one was like a heavy hammer hitting my heart.

The sound is dull and suffocating, like an old pendulum clock at home, or a round clock with a loud ticking sound. It makes people feel that time is long and torturous, especially for young students.

Does the concept of time work in this place?

This thought flashed through my mind, and then I subconsciously wanted to turn my head and look to the other side.

At this moment, I was surprised to find that my head could move according to my neural instructions.

I can move...

Although I hadn't regained any feeling or pain yet, I stood up quickly, as if everything happened naturally.

I lowered my head to examine my body. It was a normal male body, but it was covered with blood and scars. The injuries were so serious that they were shocking. I raised my head to observe the surrounding environment, but suddenly...

pat.

A slight sound caught my attention. I looked down again and saw the intestines and other internal organs in my abdomen slipping out of the wound and falling heavily on the wooden floor with a crisp "click" sound.

I looked at the scene in front of me and subconsciously thought that I was going to die, but my body did not feel any pain.

I had no choice but to bend down and carefully put the organs back into my abdomen, as if it was the most natural thing. Although I was very careful, the broken bones of the spine were squeezed out.

I suppose so. With such an injury, how much of my spine would be left?
