[Transformers] The invisible world

☆, gentle

Tessa and Sean put down their backpacks, unzipped them and dumped the stolen items on the table.

"...What is this?" Cade stared at some of the cartons and asked dully.

Tessa quickly answered him, "Underwear, for April."

"What about the travel suit? We don't have time to wash up?"

"We can just use mouthwash, Tessa doesn't mind. That's for April."

"She... well, this reason is valid." Cade hesitated for a moment, reluctantly agreed to this statement, and then swiped away a few other things: "You guys also brought back the fruit?"

"I guess Ai Peili hasn't eaten these for a long time, so I grabbed them casually." Tessa was already twisting the egg white powder, obviously not paying attention to what Cade said.

"..." Cade was dumbfounded.

He turned his head abruptly, passed the bumblebee, and glanced at Ai Peili in the corner of the church. The light came in from the broken glass window of the church, enveloping the girl gently in a hazy halo, obscuring the picture that caught his eyes. Added an unreal color.

Cade looked at it for a few seconds, sighed, and was no longer surprised by Tessa's behavior—he would not be able to help but want to take care of Aprile.

He retracted his gaze and checked his backpack again.

The next moment he suddenly raised his voice: "Balloons? Lego? Bubble wrap? What's the use of this??? Tessa? Tessa???"

"What are you looking at? My old friend." At the other corner of the church, a tall and overturned machine stood beside the medical officer. The bright flames on the shoulder armor flowed through the clear sky, and the metal reflection reflected the dust falling outside the flower window. Dancing in the beam of light.

"Humans," the ambulance answered their leader curtly. "And abnormal phenomena."

Optimus Prime glanced at Aprile who was holding an apple and thanking Tessa earnestly: "They care about Aprile very much."

The ambulance took his words and said: "Unusual concern."

He slightly adjusted the focus of the light mirror, retracted his gaze from Ai Peili, turned his head and explained to Optimus Prime: "I think this is not just pity for the same kind of people with physical disabilities, if it is just pity, with the character of that girl Can't do that. She's pretty much putting Aprile's needs above her own. We all know humans have empathy as much as we do, but it's not like empathy, I've been watching for days Well, after April wakes up, they've always been like this, they like her, they want to make her happy, they always notice what she needs, and they don't realize it themselves. It seems..."

He paused for a moment, as if considering his words.

"It's more like they're involuntarily attracted to her, even mesmerized."

From the very beginning, he had a vague premonition that this girl was not normal.Whether it is the past of living alone in the wilderness, the artificially removed kneecaps, the artificial eyes filled with highly toxic heavy metal compounds, and the tiny signal source of the ear device, all of these should not be what an ordinary disabled girl should have.

In order to prevent the location from being exposed, he simply blocked the source of the signal, but there was nothing he could do about other restrictions for the time being, and he had no plans to remove them.

As long as simple inferences are made, anyone can draw conclusions - unable to walk, unable to see, location can be sent at any time, controlled erasure, all these are to limit her actions.

For humans, Ai Peili must be extremely dangerous and of corresponding value, so that she is carefully controlled, but may be obliterated at any time.

From the current point of view, it seems that human beings will be attracted to her and act in favor of Ai Peili... But this kind of attraction is not strong, not to the point where they lose themselves, it just makes them habitually consider that Girl—that's why the ambulance didn't stop Cade and the others from touching her.

Although I don't know why, before reuniting with them, the human who controlled her hadn't found the side cannon with her, so he had no way of knowing what Ai Peili was monitoring.

But there was one thing he had to tell Optimus Prime.

"Perhaps for humans, that girl is very dangerous."

As soon as he finished speaking, Optimus Prime fell silent.

In the past few days, the scenes of getting along with human beings have been quickly flipped through in the memory area. After accepting the assumption of the ambulance, the seemingly ordinary behavior became suspicious. Every doubt pointed to Ai Peili, that A blind girl who would be noticed even if she was sitting there quietly.

Even if there is no demand, Cade and the others will show kindness all the time, even if they are troubled to refuse next time, they will still be given alms. As long as they sit there, humans will look at her.

Even on the way to Chicago, as long as humans see Ai Peili, they will be willing to help, a bottle of water, a hamburger, and a flower. Even if they have avoided humans as much as possible, they will collect it for a while before hiding in this church. tank of water.

But judging from the short conversation on the day she woke up and the approval of her in the words of the crosshairs, she didn't do anything wrong, and she didn't have the slightest malice.

Even he, after experiencing the betrayal of human beings, did not have the impression of Ai Peili as "dangerous", and she did not have the idea of ​​hurting anyone.

What's more, Hengpao believed her.

"Cade wants to help others," he said reluctantly.

"But his daughter isn't like that." The ambulance looked at Tessa and whispered.

They turned their heads to look again. In the corner, Sean was asking what else Ai Peili needed, he had never used such a soft tone to his girlfriend who was in love, and Tessa was sitting at the table helping Ai Peili Li peeled the apple, and raised her eyes to look there from time to time, but her eyes were not on Xiao En, but on Ai Peili.

When Ai Peili smiled at them, the breathing of the young couple slowed down almost at the same time.

"This is not normal," said the ambulance.

He looked at Optimus Prime and said word by word: "If it's over, we should send her back to the human world."

And perhaps for humans, it would be a better choice for her to return to that wasteland.Ambulance thought.

"She may not be able to get good help. We should make sure that she can live well alone." Optimus Prime thought for a moment and said.

The ambulance replied without changing his face: "If she receives artificial knee implants, there is an 80.00% chance of being able to stand up again after exercise. Although it is impossible to move freely like a normal person, as long as she does not do strenuous exercise, she can live a normal life. Yes, she can apply to adopt a guide dog after that, I have checked, and human charities are willing to provide specially trained dogs to assist disabled people like her in their lives.”

Optimus Prime nodded slightly, and agreed with the ambulance: "After everything is over, let Side Cannon send Ai Peili back to the world she belongs to."

The silver-white Corvette and the bright yellow Camaro drove through the inaccessible road in front of the church one after the other, turned into the church with a flick of their tails, and transformed into their original form.

Heng Pao stood up with one hand propped on the ground, put away the blade casually, and looked for Ai Peili's figure.After seeing the girl under the church window, his footsteps paused, and then he walked in the direction of Optimus Prime.

After reporting the results of the KSI reconnaissance with Bumblebee, and leaving the rest of the invasion plan to their leader, Side Cannon walked towards Ai Peili and threw something at her.

"Some kid hit me with this."

A coin landed firmly in her hand, and after Ai Peili figured out what it was, she put her loose sideburns behind her ears, raised her face and smiled at the horizontal cannon.

"Here." She patted the horizontal stone pillar under her body, and looked expectantly in the direction of Hengpao, and only after she felt that Hengpao had really sat down did she carefully support herself and move over.

When the little finger touched the cold metal, Ai Peili's movements froze for a moment, and after a while she quietly withdrew her hand, and gently rubbed the knuckle of the little finger with the other hand.

"Is it boring?" Heng Pao tilted his head, taking a panoramic view of Ai Peili's small movements, and asked.

Aprile shook her head.

"No. But I can't help you," she said softly.

Hengpao stared at the soft hair hanging by Ai Peili's ears, followed the golden halo on the hair, and replied casually: "This is the truth."

"I know." Ai Peili smiled helplessly.

So at times like this, I can't help but feel...

—If only I were a normal person.

She no longer rubbed her little finger, but just stared in a certain direction.

After a moment of silence, Ai Peili suddenly said: "Mr. Ambulance said that if the artificial knee joint is implanted, I can probably stand up."

"When will it be implanted?" Heng Pao asked.

Ai Peili was silent for a while, then lowered her head.

She remembered the previous conversation with Mr. Ambulance, and it was like a dream for her to be able to stand up again.

He said that after the operation, they would have humans who would help them put her in place so that she could live alone in human society and be among humans at all times instead of alone.

——This used to be a future that she couldn't even imagine in her dreams.

"... I don't know." She said.

She slowly raised her hand, her fisted fingers opened as she stretched towards the cannon, and finally her fingertips lightly touched his wheel feet.

It's just that they are going to separate.

Hengpao watched as she covered the entire palm of the wheel little by little, the warm palm and the cold metal were pressed together tightly, and the slight warmth seemed to spread from the contact place, like dim embers flashing finely.

"I..." she said.

In the end, she didn't say anything, but covered her eyes with her other hand.

"When the KSI matter is over, you can have the surgery." Heng Pao said suddenly.

He stretched out his hand, hesitated a little, then relaxed his strength, and touched Ai Peili's head.

The cold metal palm slid all the way down the long hair, sticking to her back through the thin fabric, Ai Peili felt that Heng Pao put his hand around her waist, and then stopped, waiting for her to grab him as usual finger, and he'd put her back in the wheelchair.

This marks the end of the conversation.

This represented the end of one of the few conversations she had left with him in close proximity.

Suddenly, an unprecedented unwillingness to break through the cage surged into her heart, rushing straight up her throat, shouting her thoughts loudly, tempting her to give up all open-mindedness.

Ai Peili suddenly turned her head to look at Hengpao.

She wanted to say something, she felt that she had a lot to say, she suddenly knew what she wanted to say all the time, and suddenly she couldn't say a word——

"Do not."

She muttered for a while, and finally only uttered one word.

The brilliance of the setting sun gradually dimmed, and the dusk disappeared into the sky in a beautiful light. Tessa and the others lit up the red candles in the church. The flickering dark red candles flickered, casting a shadow on Ai Peili.

Heng Pao was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Ai Peili was silent for a moment, calmed down, and said: "I will go home when everything is over."

Xuxu's palms around his waist tightened suddenly, and then an annoyed voice sounded above his head: "I'm different..."

As if realizing that he was being too assertive, Heng Pao's words stopped abruptly, and he spoke again after a while: "...Do you want to go back?"

Without waiting for Ai Peili to reply, he said again in a deep voice: "There is nothing in that wasteland, you want to go back? I have seen many places that are much better than there, not only this country...I can take you to those places. "

Ai Peili raised her head in a daze, she was a little confused by the naturalness and certainty in Hengpao's words, she was dizzy for a long time before she digested the words, she had no time to take care of the complicated emotions in her heart, she collected herself, her voice He asked tremblingly, "... won't it be troublesome?"

I dare not even ask "why", and would rather let myself stay in the fantasy of self-deception for a little longer, and a little longer.

Ai Peili sighed unobtrusively, and secretly condemned her insincerity, but couldn't help but tell herself a little bit of that sentence, and then a little bit, for fear that the movement would be too big and the dream would be awakened.

Heng Pao gave her a sideways look, "I know what I want to do."

He saw the girl looking up at him in a daze, her slender fingers twisted together uneasily, her artificial eyes were as dull as before, and the expression between her brows and eyes was probably a mixture of joy and trance.In the end, those trances stayed on her face, and all the joy melted into the widening smile at the corner of her mouth, turning into a small dimple on her cheek.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" He looked at it for a while and asked.

Ai Peili came back to her senses and nodded immediately.

"I want to see you smile." She said seriously.

"..." Heng Pao glared at her.

"So, smile?" Ai Peili couldn't see his expression, so she repeated it.

"What do you think?"

Ai Peili held out her thin and pale right hand, with her palm facing up, she tilted her head slightly, bit her lip and looked up.

"........."

Side Cannon thought he could almost hear his built-in system cheering to strike.Your girl sees you that way, make her happy by smiling.His system said so, and then happily packed his luggage and went on strike, leaving him here with a changing expression, not knowing whether to turn around and leave, or to smile as Ai Peili wished.

What are you laughing at?In such a distressed situation now?

Ai Peili heard a small sound.

Very thin and slow sounds, like gears rubbing or gears running.

The sound was clearly made of metal, but the tune composed of such a hard substance was so gentle, peaceful, and unbelievably soft in her ears.

She stabilized her rapid heartbeat, stretched out her hand tentatively, let her fingertips touch those tiny parts inch by inch, and climbed inch by inch along the surface contours, feeling the slight tremors from them, which belonged to the delicateness of metal. Texture, a little temperature from sharp edges and corners.

Smooth, rusty, sharp-edged, softly curved.

She sketched out his image little by little in her mind.

"So you are like this..." Ai Peili said to herself.

Heng Pao, who was close to her, obviously heard this sentence, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he almost failed to maintain a neither awkward nor awkward smile.

"Hey, friend, what are you doing with your little friend?" Suddenly, the crosshair who was leaning on the window and watching the scenery threw a sentence.

Heng Pao felt that Ai Peili withdrew her hand uncertainly, hesitated to say something, and didn't know whether to say it, so she waited for his answer to judge whether she could continue... The embarrassment was overwhelmed His CPU, he gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to give a reticle that had nothing to do to tease them.

"……To shut up."

The crosshair looked at them a few times, and said maliciously, "Your smile is really ferocious."

"..." Heng Pao decided not to say a word.

Ai Peili protested weakly: "I think it's pretty..."

"Little girl, you haven't seen a normal smile, have you?" Crosshair, who was bored, continued to tease her, seeing Hengpao's gloomy face, he couldn't hold back his laughter: "Come here, let me show you a demonstration."

"..." The face of Hengpao, who was stabbed repeatedly, was already covered with dark clouds.

He stood up in a "babble", intending to have a fight with this bored guy for no reason of friendship. Ai Peili hurriedly grabbed him, but of course she couldn't, but it had a certain blocking effect and succeeded. A possible fight was stopped.

After teasing the crosshairs enough, he put away his bad humor, and said in a gentlemanly manner that he would not look at them, but no one still believed what this guy said, and Hengpao didn't intend to continue the embarrassment just now. Pick it up and put her in the wheelchair.

After the girl fell back into the wheelchair, he heard Aprile sigh slightly.

"What?" Hengpao leaned over and asked.

Ai Peili lowered her head, pursed her lips when she heard his question, and stopped with her fingers rubbing the knuckles of her tail finger, as if she had made up her mind.

She raised her head and stretched out her hand to Hengpao wordlessly.

"Look down," she said.

The dim candlelight fell on her face, presenting some kind of strange shadow, and Hengpao saw her eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight, as gorgeous as the evening sun.

For a moment, he seemed to be fascinated by this gentle light.

He lowered his head in a strange way.

In the shadow created by the candlelight, the girl turned sideways slightly, and kissed the mechanical life in front of her devoutly.

The author has something to say: I really feel sorry for Duzhu, I could have kissed him if the atmosphere was good, but 23333333 is just so brave, I have to force it if the atmosphere is not enough√

Charm magic, SCP-166, succubus blood, Marisu aura, whatever you want to say, this is the initial setting, but if you are determined + know in advance, it is almost useless, and compared to the previous state, it is only "easy The danger of being treated kindly by human beings has plummeted, so they are controlled and kept in the wilderness... After all, this world is scientific.

☆, hope

"Recording begins. Name."

"Harry Thompson."

"Profession."

"Ex-District [-] Humanoid Alien Life Psychotherapist."

"Please describe what happened in Chicago on July 2018, 7."

"Okay, that day..."

No one knows why an alien spaceship appeared in Chicago, just like no one knows why the Autobots, who were once wanted all over the world, appeared in Chicago in a grand manner.

But the war started faster than anyone thought.

The blade of the sword crossed the cold and sharp arc and split another shot at a tricky angle. The residual bullet exploded with fireworks behind him, blowing away thick smoke and ashes, and the horizontal cannon looked coldly at the attackers on the opposite surface of the spaceship.

After estimating the distance, the long-distance waste cursed through gritted teeth, and planned to climb over the obstacle on the roof and climb onto the spaceship. It was only when he started that he remembered the carbon-based girl he had brought up.

Horizontal Pao was a little irritated thinking about where he could stay without getting hurt with Ai Peili's physical strength, and he began to worry about why he had to fish her into the car with his hands - a carbon-based woman who was blind and had disabled legs, he found for himself A good job.

[Hey, is there anyone who is free to receive a human girl? 】

[Has your memory disk burned out?Think it over with your head, kid. ] The detective's voice.

[Well, I can, where are you? 】Very strange voice.

[The roof of the building at coordinates 342,972. ] Before he could figure out who was speaking, Hengpao answered impatiently, while looking around for the figure of his companion who came to support him.

[WELL, let your little girl jump off the roof. 】

【no problem. 】

After cutting off the internal communication, Hengpao turned around and looked at the girl in the blue skirt sitting in the wheelchair behind him. He paused for a moment, and his tone softened a little: "Youjump, Ijump.Understand?"

"Youjump, Ijump." After a moment of hesitation, Ai Peili said.

"Whatever." Hengpao didn't insist, he accelerated and jumped onto the confinement spaceship, and immediately went into battle.

On the top of the building, Ai Peili's gentle smile gradually disappeared, and she gradually returned to calm.She stared deeply at the silver-gray figure going away without a trace of emotion.

"Youjump, Ijump." She whispered to herself.

Then just jump.

Ai Peili took a final deep breath, adjusted her heartbeat, calmed her fear, and drove the wheelchair to the edge of the roof.

What if no one catches it?She asked herself, and immediately gave the answer.

"Fall to death."

She jumped out of the wheelchair and fell from a height.

"……and then?"

"She didn't fall to her death, of course."

"Where is BE-17 after that?"

"On the spaceship."

"Thank you." Ai Peili looked at the city below with lingering fear, and said softly.

"Be careful, miss." Drift put her down, turned around and transformed into a helicopter, and rushed into the battlefield again.

Her current position is the front section of the spaceship's shell, and the battle is concentrated in the middle and rear sections and the interior of the spaceship, but her position is actually the only place of peace in this chaos.

Cade disapproves of leaving her alone on the ground, especially after his daughter is captured in the ship, and he even overreacts to get angry at the Autobots.

and so……

Ai Peili lowered her eyes, gently stroking her knee with her fingertips.

But what difference does it make where she stays?

"At that time, the officials already knew the purpose of the confinement, and knew that he possessed enough dangerous weapons to turn the entire earth into deformed metal. At that time, the experimental site had already discovered BE-17's escape. We tried to pass the The locator found her, but her locator was blocked by more powerful technology, so we found them and hoped they would pay attention to the fact that a more dangerous alien creature is hiding on the earth."

"Then you found BE-17 in Chicago."

"Yes."

"But you didn't recover BE-17. Why?"

silence.

"We want her to devour the seeds."

When a voice suddenly sounded in her ears, a trace of astonishment appeared in Ai Peili's eyes, and she froze in place for a short time.

"Ai Peili." The male voice was gentle and familiar.

Aprile should have thought so, but she didn't.

She seemed to be completely frozen.

When this voice sounded, her thoughts were still uncontrollably, and the dead silence seemed to be a powerful hand, grasping her heart, and mercilessly crushing it, and in an instant, her chest was empty, and she lost all sound. .

This voice was like a ghost from the past, slowly blowing in her ear: "Do you remember me?"

"I……"

I do not remember.Aprile told herself.

She really didn't remember, her mind went blank, as if hit by a great void.

"I……"

She saw that her fingers began to tremble, gradually spreading to her palms, and finally the wheelchair creaked amid the tremors, but her consciousness seemed to have left her body, and she could do nothing but be dazed.

The pain that seemed to be burned by a raging fire awakened from within the body.

"If I were to rate the extraterrestrial life captured by the United States so far, BE-17 is the most dangerous of them all."

"Judging by her appearance?"

chuckle.

"Sir, you can't look at these monsters by human standards. You wouldn't say that if you knew where her appearance came from."

"what is this?"

"This used to be my colleague. Her name was Aprile Lowell. If you investigated, you would find that BE-17 also called herself by that name. There was an accident when BE-17 swallowed Aprile. It Became her."

"..."

"After being captured by the seventh area, BE-17 has been studied by the seventh area as a research object. In the beginning, it was just a mass of meat that could swallow any matter and life. We did a lot of experiments on it to explore it. At the beginning, BE-17 was very fragile, and a small amount of toxin would make it fall into a dying state, but it will gradually adapt to new substances, and after it adapts, it can swallow the same substances indefinitely, including nuclear radiation waste, So in a way, it's almost immortal, and it's hard for us to find a way to limit it."

"Difficult?"

"Yes, according to speculation. If BE-17 devours a large amount of unfamiliar highly toxic substances at once, she will die completely. Therefore, we took out her eyeballs and replaced them with highly toxic heavy metals that she has not swallowed. As long as she reveals dangerous Tendency, the built-in controller will let the heavy metal leak out."

"So the seed kills it too?"

"Yes."

"Long time no see, Aprile."

do i know himEmily thought blankly.

But she was trembling, her body in fear of the male voice in her ears.She knew where the voice came from—not only was a locator implanted in her ear, but also a one-way communicator, so that she could be contacted by someone who wanted to contact her at any time.

"What do you want...to do?" she asked.

"Me? I can't do anything, April, I don't even know where you are, we can't see you," the man said, "But do you know what you want to do?"

"How the hell is that possible?"

"Why is it impossible? There are always such stories in sci-fi movies, the alien turns into someone you are familiar with, and cries to you with your beloved face... You will not have the heart to do it to her, this is the purpose of BE-17. BE -17 doesn't have too much power, even if it devoured Ai Peili, it was quickly controlled by us, but then it turned into Ai Peili's appearance, possessed Ai Peili's memory, and begged us with her face, Said she was in pain."

"It has...consciousness?"

"I'm afraid it is. Although its strength is weak, BE-17's wisdom is not inferior to that of humans. It knows that we bring it pain, so it asks Ai Peili to talk to us... It also knows that humans will cherish the beautiful The same kind, so it has been gradually changing appearance, becoming more attractive. She is alien, she is Galactus, she is black hole. Her purpose is to eat everything.. When I first joined the [-]th district, I used to believe that there is nothing Life is out of our control, but she...she scares us."

"...But the report that BE-17 has no memory doesn't match what you said."

"Sorry, this is... because of some personal feelings."

"What did you do?"

"Brainwashing. Sir, we hate April as much as we love her, so you can't expect us to take pity on her... at least at first. It's not a bad thing though, and then we found out she forgot everything, even The instinct of devouring has also been forgotten, she only remembers her name is Ai Peili, even if we let go of supervision, she doesn't know how to escape."

"Seed." Ai Peili murmured.

"Yes." The man said softly.

"Only you can do it, there is no time, no one knows when the seed will explode, and no one knows if the Autobots will use it to destroy the earth, we know they believe in you, April, you must eat it , or it would swallow the entire planet."

"Do you like the world? Then save it."

"You actually put such a dangerous thing in the NO.17 test site?"

"We can't kill her, and we dare not kill her. At least she is in a deep sleep now. Who dares to face the consequences of waking her up? What else can we do? How dare you send her to the solar system even if it is Any corner of the galaxy? Sometimes I even regret why we captured her in the first place."

"According to your statement, you participated in the whole experiment, so why do you say you are a psychotherapist?"

"I am, sir, except that I'm BE-17's psychotherapist, or rather, I'm April's psychotherapist."

"Why do you need counseling for an alien monster?"

"We feel that this helps to control her state. BE-17 imitated her personality when it devoured Ai Peili. From a psychological point of view, its behavior is consistent with the cause of split personality. It simulates a personality to replace itself to face the pain of the experiment , when it was Ai Pei Li, she was only Ai Pei Li, and it was in a deep sleep state, so Ai Pei Li would not run away. But after the pain broke through the threshold, Ai Pei Li's personality did not collapse, she was tough enough, tenacious She even replaced the main personality, and as a human being, she is obviously better in control. It turns out that we were right."

"...So you can make BE-17 willingly devour the seeds through one call?"

"Yes, Aprile loves this world very much."

- That's the reason.April thought.

She didn't know what was going on outside this corner, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but one thing echoed clearly in her mind, occupying all her thinking ability.

"Would you like to?" the voice in my ear asked.

"The situation is not good now, but the military will grab the seeds and send them over later. There is only one chance, after which the Autobots will snatch the seeds. You have to make a decision as soon as possible."

"I……"

Ai Peili felt that she had thought a lot and thought nothing of it.

She thought of the days and nights on the wasteland, the echoes in the mountains, the bonfires on the Gobi, and the few contacts and dialogues in just a few days.

Think of your own powerlessness.

Without ability, everything is like empty talk... But there are not so many special people in this world, are there?Not everyone is a reformer, a person with superpowers, a humanoid weapon, and not everyone can save the world.

If there are no miracles in this world, then why do some people believe in the existence of gods?

"I...will," she said.

Then what happened?

It seemed to be just excruciating pain, familiar excruciating pain.

"So you guys don't know it's going to end up like that."

"She is located very close to the edge of the spaceship. We estimated that Ai Peili might fall due to the weight after devouring the seeds, so we made preparations to capture her in the urban area, but at the last moment, the confinement spaceship was transferred to a place near Chicago. Over Lake Huron, after devouring the seeds, BE-17 crashed into Lake Huron."

"One of the Autobots jumped after him, right?"

"Yes. He almost grabbed her."

Have you ever had such an experience?

When you are facing death, all the phantoms and memories of the past suddenly rush to your face, like a lake submerging you, and you feel that the person you want to see appears in front of you.

Why is there such an illusion?April thought.

What else do you want to say?Obviously you didn't say it so many times.

She still has a lot to say, a lot of things to say, because of various reasons, she doesn't have time to speak, she is afraid to speak, hesitating whether she should speak or not—

She wants to apologize, she wants to explain, she wants to say that she has no regrets.

Why regret it?

Although she already knows that this is a world that repeats sorrow and hatred constantly, is not gentle at all, and is hopeless, but even if she is deceived, betrayed, hated, abandoned, and injured a thousand times or ten thousand times——

She is still willing to love her unconditionally.

The moment she sank into the lake, Ai Peili thought of many afternoons in a trance.

When the pointer is fixed on the hour, the big clock wakes up from a deep sleep and rings loudly, and the shadows of the wind chimes fall on the floor in an orderly manner, as beautiful as the poetry of a goddess.And she was sitting under the window with the book in her arms, and her heart was filled with respect and gratitude as she gently stroked the neatly arranged bumps on the thick pages with her calloused fingertips.

She respects those beings who can write such beautiful words, and thanks those beings who tell her such beautiful stories.

So what if it was a fairy tale?

From the very beginning, Ai Peili knew that Hengpao's evaluation was not wrong, the world was not as simple as she thought, and only characters in the story would have such thoughts.

He was right, her ideas originally came from those fairy tales.

But what's wrong with fairy tales?The world in the story is always black and white, good and evil are rewarded, ashes to ashes and dust to dust, it looks real, kind and beautiful.

Not in line with reality?Of course she knew that she had never made fantasies that overly beautified reality.

How bad the world is, she's always been—

--visible.

Indifference, repulsion, suspicion, disgust, fear, the wind will only convey those negative emotions without any cover up.

Fairy tales do not necessarily have a happy ending. In fact, there is no light in the darkness.

But in that fairy tale, would she still be willing to climb the tower of thorns, even if her body was covered in bruises, her white skirt was stained with blood, and she shed all her tears?

Her answer, April thought, would never change.

——Yes, no regrets.

Only named Hope for the princess on the tower of thorns, and she happens to be a little more important than reality.

She may not be able to see the world, but she happens to have that gift, seeing light in darkness.

For the existence of that light, she is willing to sacrifice everything of herself.

Did she succeed?April thought.

She feels tired, as if the body
