Presenting nesting dolls to the beautiful world

In the past, each time the hourglass was upgraded, at most, there were some changes in appearance, more convenient operation, more new functions, and a higher collection and utilization rate of emotional energy.

But it was not this time - an unusual meaning suddenly rose from Lei Zhe's heart, and the next moment, the entire spiritual space that belonged to him changed!

The first thing to collapse was the periphery of the spiritual space. A piece of broken white plate was lifted up by a powerful force and swept inward. In the blink of an eye, everything was turned into darkness and nothingness. Lei Zhe was floating in front of him.

Now, it's just him and it.And when he looked at it, he was neither surprised nor afraid, because a kind of enlightenment told him: that was him.

When he realized this, the hourglass emitted a burst of light that was not too harsh, and two figures appeared beside it.

It was a child and a teenager, exactly two 'Lei Zhe'.

So Lei Zhe lowered his head and stretched out his hand to have a look - only then did he realize that he had changed back to his original form.

He was tall and thin, with a handsome appearance and healthy wheat-colored skin. He was wearing the shirt and trousers he wore when he jumped into the river to save people, and a pair of thin gold-rimmed glasses. He looked refined and refined.

Of course, he actually works out a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be able to lift two struggling children from the rushing river.

Lei Zhe looked at the two figures again. The Lei Zhe when he was a child was wearing a strangely shaped armor and a long knife on his waist, while the Lei Zhe was wearing a pair of plain glasses and a middle school uniform when he was a boy. , holding a book with a somewhat familiar color scheme, and looking carefully, the title of the book written on the cover is "I".

When Lei Zhe looked at them, they also looked at Lei Zhe, one with a smile on his face and the other with an indifferent expression.

"..."

Lei Zhe pondered for a moment, then suddenly said to the child, "You are my 'I'."

The child smiled and nodded.

Afterwards, Lei Zhe looked at the boy again and said, "You are my 'superego'."

The young man nodded coldly.

"Tell me," Lei Zhe said, "what's going on?"

The superego didn't make a sound, but the id answered the question straightforwardly: "Actually, I should have died a long time ago."

Lei Zhe nodded, indicating that he could understand.

"...and the hourglass too," said I.

………………

…………

……

Ben told him all about the hourglass.

——That is the most primitive prototype of the universe, a void that should be fleeting, a miracle created by fantasy and a touch of emotion.

"It used to be just an ordinary hourglass ornament." Ben said, "At that time, it passed through someone's hands, and it was deeply missed... You know, emotions are really unreasonable sometimes , so it met a one-in-a-billion chance, and it became a 'miracle'."

Ben said, scratching his head.

"...However, such 'miracles' are actually born every day." He said, "But few of them survive...but this one is different."

Through the narration of the id, Lei Zhe understood everything.

When he saved people, it was there nearby, lying alone in the grass for unknown reasons, waiting to be wiped out - if the prototype of every 'miracle' cannot be bred, it will disappear completely, and be removed from all existence With the world line removed, because 'unattainable miracles are nothing but nothingness'.

But when Lei Zhe sacrificed his life to save others, Lei Zhe himself burst out with strong emotions, and the reasonable children also burst out with strong emotions, as well as the onlookers on the shore, the people who made emergency calls, and the people who were looking for long poles and long ropes everywhere. , rushing to the distant store and yelling if there are any people with swimming rings... There were a total of 110 people present, and at the same time, they awakened their hearts for the same thing.

And the hourglass was also awakened by this power that is close at hand. It has no self-awareness, but just instinctively collects emotions, condenses them into crystals, and finds the person who caused all these emotional fluctuations——

——that is, Lei Zhe who sent the children ashore but was unable to struggle and didn't really want to struggle.

From then on, everything is there.

"..."

Lei Zhe's eyes were a little dazed.He looked at the little hourglass suspended in mid-air.

It had become one with him, a part of him...so both survived, because of a deliberate act of kindness.

If only all the people in the world who died doing good deeds had his luck.he thinks.

The two figures quietly disappeared and returned to the hourglass.Lei Zhe stretched out his hand to catch it - it was already at level 9 and possessed even greater power. Although this level was just a division of himself by following the game level he was accustomed to in the past years, the power really existed thing.

Countless information poured into his mind, and he understood some things, such as...why in the first place, the hourglass needs to be operated from the 'magic mirror'?

Because after he used the hourglass to observe the timeline, the 'Garon' who had a certain tendency to become evil attracted an existence lurking in the dark field, which was the remnant power of the evil god 'Mirror Mirror', which was discovered by history thousands of years ago. After the heroes were killed, they sneaked into the "mirror space" of the dark realm, and lived according to the rules of the dark realm.

Just now, when 'Garon' was hiding alone, it eroded him without thinking ability, combined with the hourglass, and cast his power along the existence track of the hourglass to the place where he first came to Tyne hour.

... As a result, it was crushed to death as the hourglass was upgraded and strengthened again and again, and was even directly swallowed by it later, becoming a part of it.

When it is completely digested, the hourglass will have the function of "observing the mirror image of the past"...

Lei Zhe: "...."

Well, there are more evil gods in his hands than those few, right? ?

Absolutely!

He clenched the hourglass tightly, dumbfounded, and let it blend into his spirit. With a thought, the white, empty space unfolded again following the light.

Afterwards, the space gave birth to the blue sky and the earth, as well as mountains, rivers, and forests... At the edge of the forest, two small houses with yards quietly rose up, their texture, light and shadow became more real, and among them The same is true for the avatars who appeared.

Seeing him again, Garland smiled and nodded to him, Enxiu waved vigorously, Xiu floated aside silently, Irene leaned on the swing, and happily seized the only entertainment equipment here.

Enxiu: "?"

Enxiu pursed his lips and looked like he was about to cry.Irene didn't seem to have any intention of comforting him and let out a mother's laughter again, or Garland next door couldn't stand it anymore, and picked up Enxiu to play.

Xiu followed behind them, and this young man, who theoretically could not have appeared if Enxiu existed intact, also joined them now, and even regained the ability to speak.

Lei Zhe looked at them and laughed too.

He knows that although these interesting souls have his traces, they are definitely not purely fabricated 'creations' by him.

They have their own personalities, their own loves and hates, their own shaping trajectory and their own existence value.

Although they are all part of him now, but...

... Long before the endless years, long before the world restarted again and again, they must have existed independently.

In the dark and unknown long past, their souls also burned fiercely on that land.

'Karen' opened his eyes.

In front of him, a wisp of black smoke quietly dissipated.That was the mirror image evil god that had just struck, but completely disappeared in the 'before'.

He looked at it calmly, and turned his head to look out the window after a moment.It should have been a starless and moonless darkness, but now there was a tiny light.

'Karen' stood up and stretched his body, he heard someone on the deck shouting "Is that an island??" "Many small islands!" "Good guy, a new map area has opened! 'Roslyn Islands' ...this is the Diamond Islands!", so he dodged to the top of the ship.

At this moment, the deck is full of people: excited players, ex-servants of the gem merchant, Theon Garin who was submerged in the crowd just after he came out to check the situation, and the man who seems to have recognized and committed crimes after being grabbed by the collar by the former. What's wrong with Maurice Guerin...

They all looked in the same direction, between the dark sea and the sky, the largest island among the shining archipelago.

Above it is a city with carved beams and painted buildings. The main body is made of white stone and dark brown wood. Red cloth is hung everywhere, and the position of the cloth is bound by gold buckles and bright indigo gemstones. stand up……

In the eyes of everyone, it is like a shining gem, exuding dazzling lights, white or warm yellow, illuminating half of the sky.

'Karon' looked at it.He knew that his enemy was there, as long as he entered the waters of the archipelago, he would fall into the trap that the opponent had already set up.

But he came anyway.The hunter is never afraid of challenges, and at any time, he never feels that he will be the prey that is trapped to death.

"There she is..." Victoria murmured.

She is also at the highest point of the ship - above its sails, but the place where 'Karen' stands is the top of the mast, and she is leaning on her own big broom, leaning on the mast, standing on the cross of the sail. rod side.

"You mean Terek?" 'Karen' asked her suddenly.

Since he came so silently, Victoria almost jumped up from his fright, and looked up at him glaringly: "Ancis! How do you look like a ghost!"

"Maybe I'm just a ghost," said 'Karen'. "And what on earth are you here for?"

"..." Victoria was silent for a moment, then subconsciously turned her gaze.But immediately she found that she had no possibility of escaping, because the destination was right in front of her eyes, and a person like 'Karen Onsis', he would not mind letting a dark man who didn't want to say more information come out. The creature disappeared, and even the sandy shore of the island could not be touched.
