Fantasies That Descend on Collapse

The visitor who came uninvited like him has long bright red hair...

Chapter 2 Two Lonely Men

27 years, this is an extremely common number, but it has a different meaning to Wuliangta Jizi.

She is dying, and when this number moves back one more number, it will be the day when she closes her eyes and bids farewell to the world.

Waking up from sleep every morning, she would straighten up, pick up the calendar placed on the bedside table, and use a pen to write down the days she had spent safely.

Seeing the black handwriting on the originally blank calendar, Ji Zi couldn't help thinking like this.

If she hadn't chosen to become a Valkyrie back then, and her father, a scientist with destiny, hadn't died in an accident, then what would her life be like now?

Ji Zi, who was admitted to Caltech at the age of 15, should take her father as her life goal for granted and strive to become an excellent physicist.

Then, after achieving outstanding achievements, look for partners who are attractive to you, who are pleasing to each other and who are good enough, and finally end your ordinary but happy life without knowing it, or...

It was when he was in the prime of his life, he died in the collapse that ordinary people could not know.

However, these seemingly beautiful and extremely real lives are only her dreams after all.

Her father died without warning, without reason, as if it were a trivial matter.

During the days when the memorial service was held, Ji Zi knelt in her father's mourning hall, staring at the black and white photos of her father for a whole night.

Then the next day, she returned to school, went through the withdrawal procedures, gave up her bright future, and resolutely embarked on the path of seeking the truth, becoming an incomplete Valkyrie.

If a person without talent wants to succeed, he must pay a corresponding price. As a person who is not very adaptable, the price she pays is fiery blood and that precious life.

The loss of life gave her the qualification to become a warrior, the shedding of blood gave her the power she deserved, and with these honors came a quiet death.

She's running out of time.

She began to squeeze her rest time, and she began to accept tasks frequently, in order to find the truth that she had been searching for for a long time, but had no clue.

But after paying so much, the truth she was looking for and wanting to know seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her.

Gradually, she was born in a higher education institution and had a good style, but she was contaminated with mundane things such as tobacco and alcohol.

Her cravings grew, even though the tar in the tobacco made her cough.

Her addiction to alcohol was also growing, even though the alcohol-laden fluids made her vomit.

After all, for a person whose life expectancy is less than a year, these problems are nothing at all.

This style of life lasted for half a year.

And one morning, as usual, she woke up from a deep sleep, sat up in a daze, and habitually reached out to pick up the calendar and pen on the bedside table.

But just when she was about to scratch off another day she had spent, she stopped as if she remembered something, and threw the half-used calendar into the garbage not far away. In the bucket, he lay down comfortably in the blanket that had not cooled down, and smiled.

It seems like she...doesn't have to die anymore.

------

It has been almost a few months since the day when Jizi reached out to slap the invitation letter that Death handed her, and she got her wish and spent an extremely leisurely time.

Now she has enough time to experience her future life, now she has a healthy enough body to enjoy the items that she could not touch due to various reasons, and now she has enough gold... well, this she didn't.

All in all, under the influence of the above-mentioned external factors, Jizi, who had escaped from the applause of death, fell into another nightmare that was more terrifying than death without knowing it.

The name of that nightmare is laziness.

------

The hour hand of the clock slowly crossed the ten mark, and the light reflected in the crack of the study door was also quietly extinguished, followed by the door that was carefully pushed open, and a tired man walking out of the study. Himeko.

Holding the idea of ​​not leaving work until the weekend, Ji Zi locked herself in the study room shortly after the lunch break, wanting to quickly deal with those files that should be "not much left" in her eyes .

But when she got to the desk and started to count the files that should be "not much left", she really understood the meaning of the word "vast".

Facing the papers and test papers that could almost fill up half of the desk, Ji Zi couldn't help but began to miss the muddle-headed but extremely leisurely time he had spent this week.

In desperation, she could only bite the bullet and force herself to devote herself to this pile of test papers and documents that seemed impossible to correct.

And because of the large number of files, the originally calculated time to process the files had to be delayed until now.

Rubbing his neck that seemed to be about to break with his hands, he looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.

After such a long day at work, she was a little hungry.

However, when she rummaged through the entire kitchen and only found a few slices of white-cut bread that was about to expire, Ji Zi realized that the dry food that she had stored up for emergencies had already been consumed unconsciously by herself. exhausted.

I seem to be becoming more and more lazy.

Put a few slices of white-cut bread together and knead them into balls vigorously. After eating the barely-sufficient bread balls mixed with drinking water, Ji Zi walked to the refrigerator and opened the bread, which she hadn't used much since she bought it. s things.

Relying on the orange indicator light in the refrigerator, Jizi took out a few dark green soda cans and put them in the plastic bag he took out when he was rummaging earlier.

Those were several cans of 'orangeboom', which Jizi bought after she learned that she had fully recovered.

If it was her in the past, maybe after drinking this can of strong beer, the broken internal organs in her body might not be able to bear it at all, and maybe she vomited blood directly.

However, after her physical recovery, she has not been able to try this item that was almost taboo to her for various reasons.

In the end, these things she specially prepared for herself will come in handy at this time, and this result is really beyond her budget.

Carrying the bag full of soda cans, she came to the gate, and after confirming that her previous behavior did not wake up the student in the same room as her, Jizi put on her coat, changed her shoes, opened the gate, and quietly slipped out.

Walking alone in the deserted academy, feeling the gentle evening wind blowing on his face, Ji Zi couldn't help thinking of the idea of ​​'it's good to be alive' again.

After learning about the changes in her body for the first time, Ji Zi stubbornly believed that maybe due to some unknown reason, her body appeared to have this illusion that it seemed to have been cured.

But it wasn't until she spent a whole week in fear that Ji Zi accepted the indisputable fact with surprise and fear.

She seems to be really well.

Then she ran into a new problem.She has fully recovered, what should she do next?

This question immediately stumped this soldier who had been galloping on the battlefield. Originally, she had already made up her mind to die on the battlefield, but this sudden accident completely disrupted her original plan.

Now that the problem of my lifespan has been completely solved, what meaningful things should I do in my long life after finding out the truth?

With doubts, she moved towards her destination. During this short journey, she thought for a long time, but after she arrived at her destination, she did not give herself a perfect answer after all.

But at least you can still live, can't you?

After laughing self-deprecatingly, Ji Zi reached out and turned the doorknob, opened the door, and came to her favorite place at night.

When she stepped into the field, following the hazy moonlight, she saw a stranger who came here first besides herself.

It seemed that it was a female student that I had never seen before.

"Hey! What are you doing over there!"

Looking at the figure standing on the edge of the roof wall, bathed in the moonlight, as if he might fall at any moment, Ji Zi almost instinctively yelled at him.

After yelling, Ji Zi clearly saw the opponent's body, and seemed to be startled by his own yell without warning, so he trembled a bit, then the opponent turned around, and their eyes met each other.

This child is actually so beautiful... Besides, have I seen this child somewhere?

Looking at the other party's appearance, Ji Zi fell into a brief thought...

------

Facing Ji Zi who was standing not far away, lost in thought, this made Luo Chen, who had revealed his true self in front of acquaintances for the first time, become a little panicked.

Now he is like a clown who has taken off his mask and exposed his true self to everyone.

Wearing a mask, he can easily talk to, live with, and even play with those familiar people.

Because the face on this mask belongs to him, this is the last piece of truth he can keep, and after getting in touch with k423, he is more sure of this idea of ​​his own, and at the same time discovered a question.

If he takes off the mask and exposes the truth that does not belong to him to those who are related to this truth, perhaps the only insignificant selves he has left will be completely assimilated by the truth of others.

He is a relatively realistic person, facing her kindness, he will try his best to repay, and he will try his best to abide by the agreement with her, but there is only one thing that he will not do The slightest concession.

He didn't want to be someone else's shadow.Even if most of the truth that belonged to him has already been replaced.

This may be the last step of resistance that an incompetent person can make.

-------

"Aren't you coming down yet?"

The gentle greeting woke up Luo Chen who was standing on the wall and was still a little at a loss.

At some point, Ji Zi, who was in deep thought like him but woke up before him, had come to him and stretched out her hand towards him.

"..."

Looking at the other party's hand extended to him, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to the other party, but the next moment he realized his appearance at this time, and the hand extended to the other party stopped because of a brief hesitation. In mid-air.

To Ji Zi in front of him, he is just a stranger who has never met before. He doesn't know whether the behavior he is doing now is correct or not.

Taking off all disguises and showing himself in front of others, he became inexplicably sensitive, like a beast that has no sense of security, loses support, and curls itself up.

"Are you shy?"

After observing the other party's hesitation, the corners of Ji Zi's mouth just raised a beautiful arc, then she stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the hand that was hovering in the air because of hesitation, and then pulled hard, He pulled the unprepared him off the wall, and then hugged him into his arms.

"!"

The momentary feeling of weightlessness caused Luochen's thinking to stagnate for a short time. When he came back to his senses and felt the overly soft touch on his face, he understood this short moment, the relationship between himself and Jizi. , What actually happened.

"Hold... sorry... I'm leaving now!"

Leaving Ji Zi's arms like an electric shock, the blood-red Luo Chen said apologetic words while panicking while wearing the sandals that he had taken off earlier and put aside.

It was the first time he experienced such a thing, and he became a little too flustered.

"Wait a moment."

But just as he put on his sandals, stumbled towards the exit and then left immediately, Ji Zi, who was standing behind him without any reaction, suddenly stepped forward.And without warning, he reached out and grabbed his arm, stopping him from leaving.

Turning his head stiffly, what he saw was Ji Zi's beautiful face, and the smile that appeared on the other's face, as if a drunkard found a drinking friend.

"Interested, would you like to chat with me for a while?"

Chapter 3 Unexpected and Sad Night Talk

What kind of feeling is this?

Imagine that in the dead of night, you and a student you have never met meet by chance on the roof just the two of you.
