dream life

[Final Chapter] [Part Two] [Old Friends Come]

Things went much smoother than I imagined.

My father's deposit in the bank was just enough to pay for my hibernation cryotherapy. Then came the long data collection work, which lasted for more than a month. Dr. Madison believed that I would sleep for at least ten years.

Ten years?

If I finally wake up ten years later, I will definitely see a completely different world.

These days, I feel that my physical function is getting weaker and weaker, and I gradually start to cough up blood. If there is no cryotherapy, I am afraid that the time will not be long.

"Angie," Alexander called out to me before entering the hibernation machine.

As if hesitating for a long time, he quickly grabbed my hand and put a small ring on it.

A small delicate platinum ring with red gemstones carved in the shape of a cluster of roses.

"Alexander," I said awkwardly, "this is..."

"Angie, listen to me." His face was slightly red, "My father told me that one of the signs of a good person is that he only loves one person in his life... So, I think I am a good person...Angie, The next life is too far away, you are in a dream, after that life, and then wake up, it will be the next life, isn't it?"

"But..." I felt my voice tremble, "But, what if I can't wake up?"

"Then I allow you to be cremated with this ring and brought to the afterlife." Historia suddenly got out, "Is that okay, Alexander?"

Su Nian.

That year you asked me if I would like to be with you, I could hear it, and said yes to the air.

But now, I am about to fall into a dream again, to embrace another life, you still say that I have to wait.

How can I be.

Boy, if one day I finally wake up, no matter whether you have a family or not at that time, this ring will be treasured by me.

I wish I could come back.

I hope I come back, you are still a teenager.

Autumn street.

Eva is a little late from school today.

The plan to counterattack Marais was postponed for many years because of the technological route that Erwin wanted to implement. The survey corps, which no longer directly fought the giants, got some respite instead, and the life rhythm of the high-level officers was not so tense.

Eva Ackerman just celebrated her fourth birthday.

Schulman runs a small kindergarten in the middle of town, and Levi has sent Eva in since she was two years old, and for some reason, the girl is no shorter than her peers, much stronger than himself when he was a child .

The leaves of the ginkgo tree fell to the ground. Levi sat on the bench outside the school and read a book quietly. The street next to him was much more prosperous. From time to time, girls passing by would notice this former superhero.

"Look, isn't that the strongest human being... Captain Levi?"

"Yeah! He should be almost 40 years old... he still looks very young!"

"He is waiting for his daughter, and his daughter already knows how to make soy sauce!"

Not long after, a little girl wearing a red plaid sarong and black leather shoes rushed over.

"Dad, dad, dad!"

The little girl ran fast, her long soft brown hair was tied into two high braids, the corners of her eyes were slightly hanging, and her eyes were beautiful sky blue.

"Slow down!" Levi took her small schoolbag, put away the book, stood up and took her little hand, "What did you learn today? Did you eat well for lunch?"

"I had omelet rice for lunch, with shrimps in it!" Eva's voice was bright, she was a precocious girl with very clear thinking, "Today the teacher taught us how to draw, and asked us to go home and paint portraits of our parents! "

Levi froze for a moment.

"Oh, I know too," the little child sighed, "Dad, I can't draw my mother, can I draw Aunt Petra?"

"No," Levi gently tugged at her braid, "Have you forgotten? There are so many portraits of your mother at home, you can, learn to draw them."

The little girl didn't speak for a long time.

"what happened?"

"Dad," she raised her eyes earnestly, "Aunt Han Ji asked me one day if I wanted to find a place to remember my mother...Dad, tell me, what does she want to do?"

Hanji... Levi wanted to sigh, Hanji had asked him many times where to design Murphy's cemetery... Levi never agreed once.

From the age of eight to the present, the long wait has become the norm in his life. There is no trace of the previous two disappearances. This time, he left a daughter for him.

He can't believe she won't come back.

&&&&&&

"Are you still used to it?"

Han Ji took Moblitt to the current residence of Kenny - a lonely mountain cabin. The old man has lived here for many years. He has not been executed by the survey corps. He is the living history of that era. He is currently working on a thick autobiography.

He is getting older than in previous years.

Without his right arm, the story is written very slowly, but this old man is no longer the throat-cutter of those years, he has become an ordinary old man wearing a straw hat and carrying a hoe, planting spinach and peanuts.

"Get used to it..." He stretched his lower back, "I said, my book is almost finished, isn't it, the days of my life are coming to an end?"

"It's hard to say," Han Ji flipped through the thick paper, "In a few years, people will forget about you. If you forget about those tragedies, it doesn't matter if you live or not."

"But... I have a small request..." His cloudy eyes seemed to be begging a little, "I want to go to Kucher's tombstone before I leave, and... I heard that Li The girl in Will's family has grown up a lot too, I really think, look at that father and daughter..."

Hanji didn't answer.

How is this possible.

Kenny killed Angelia back then.

He was originally Levi's biggest enemy in this life, but he was his own uncle. Since Levi knew the truth, he has never mentioned him.

If it was someone else, he would have been torn to pieces long ago.

Seeing that Han Ji was silent, the old man suddenly waved his hand smartly, "Hey, that's all, kid, I'm just kidding!"

Ugh……

Lowering the brim of his hat and wearing a thick scarf, Kenny covered his face firmly, followed Mobritt, and walked into the town for the first time.

Han Ji let go, allowing him to take a look from afar.

The old man huddled on the bench by the street, the autumn wind rolled up the golden ginkgo leaves and blew them into the air, and the little girl in the red plaid sarong jumped up and down to step on the swirling wind.

Such a beautiful child.

Regardless of the hair color, he is a bit like Kuchel when he was a child.

He saw the back again, his kid, still in the same black casual clothes, finally turned into a calm and steady father.

He had an impulse, he wanted to run up and say sorry to the little mouse, he was getting old, he was going to die...what was he afraid of?

But he didn't move in the end, watching the father and daughter disappear from his sight.

He looked up again and saw that the sky was a clear blue, the soft and white clouds drifting with the wind, the wild geese returning, and the ginkgo leaves flying in the autumn wind.

His whole life was nothing but that long sigh.

&&&&&&

855. 9, 9

Isabel's tavern.

Han Ji sat next to Levi with the schnapps in his hands, thought about it and opened his mouth.

"Kenny is dead."

"Ah."

That's all Levi responded to.

"Back then, you hijacked those three-dimensional maneuvers and angered the Gendarmerie. Niles took this matter and made a deal with Kenny. She came to deal with the aftermath of you, and the price was that Kenny killed someone for her... this matter , I still want to tell you the truth.”

"Ah."

Levi drank the wine in the glass, "Has the child gone to school?"

"..."

Han Ji lowered his head and watched the small air bubbles float and shatter in the cup, "No, it's not even two years old yet."

She knows that this topic can only be like this forever.

I opened my eyes, and there was a white room in front of me.

Jerry was waiting for me to wake up.

"It's been a long time, Miss Murphy William."

"Jerry!" I rushed up to give him a hug.

"Miss William, during your absence, the program has been running stably for about four years! The plan to counterattack Marais has been postponed, so the island is now peaceful and prosperous!"

"Yeah!" I tidied my hair, "Jerry, thank you all, another day, I must write a long thank you letter to Mr. Nakamura Yusaku!"

I fell into a dream again. This dream was not experienced at any station. There is a 36-fold difference in time dimension between the life in the dream and the reality. For a period of time in the early stage, after walking through the life in the dream, and then entering a dreamless long sleep.

I opened the door and went back to the free and clear wind.

"Miss William, he is within 500 meters ahead."

"Well, Jerry, I'll just go there by myself, don't send me off."

"Okay, Miss William, be careful all the way."

He waved at me, then gradually became transparent and disappeared into the air.

I gradually moved towards that bustling town, and I haven't been here for four years. The changes are more than earth-shaking.

I was wearing a baggy white dress, and my brown hair was blowing slightly in the wind.

Where is he?

The crowd gradually thickened, and there was a familiar tavern at the corner of the street.

Just like the one I opened back then.

An eight or nine-year-old boy was squatting at the door to play with a four or five-year-old girl.

The little boy looked up, and I saw his beautiful emerald eyes, it was Hayrus!

"Aunt Murphy?!" He immediately straightened up, "You... are you really Aunt Murphy?!"

Another little girl with brown hair stood up in a daze. Those beautiful blue eyes, with the corners of the eyes slightly lifted up, really resembled him when he was a child.

is my daughter.

"Eva..." Tears welled up in the corner of my eyes, "Eva, do you know me?"

"You...you are my mother!"

She suddenly wailed, "Dad, dad, come quickly! Mom is back!!!"

It was Han Ji who rushed out the door first, and behind her was the familiar figure after a long absence.

Levi...

I am back.

At that moment, all the waiting was relieved at that moment. I opened my arms, and he rushed over and hugged my body without hesitation. Whether it was eight years old or now, this little wolf is still as greedy as I was back then. The taste of the old man, I felt his warm tears dripping into my neck, I felt him trembling.

"Okay!" I pretended to caress his back generously, "Okay, haven't I come back?" I held his cheeks and gently wiped away the tears on his cheeks. "Why are you still like a little devil who can't grow up...Baby, I promise you this time, I will never leave again!"

"Murphy..." He seemed unable to speak, but there were stars in the sky.

"Mom!" The crying child rushed up and hugged my leg, "Wow! My mother is back! I have a mother too!"

I picked her up, and the little girl hugged my neck obediently. I saw more and more people around me, and I didn't know who took the lead, so there was applause.

"Han Ji," I looked mischievously at the tearful officer, "Long time no see, what's the matter, the cemetery...hasn't been done yet?!"

"No, no!" She rushed up and hugged me, "Murphy! That's really great..."

great.

This world, I am back again.

Next, I will take root and sprout in this era and grow my own story.

I want to hold my daughter and go home with Levi. I want to visit my friends whom I haven’t seen for a long time. I want to go to war. This era still needs me.

The quiet streets of red bricks, golden ginkgo leaves, some are quietly dancing in the breeze.

I stopped suddenly, and gave the man a long and sudden kiss, the child in my arms quickly covered his eyes, Levi didn't move, and accepted it calmly and cooperatively.

"Let's go!" I pursed my lips and took his hand, "Tell me, what happened in the past four years?"

"Okay!" His expression seemed to return to that sensible eight-year-old boy, "Then, where do we start?"

"Of course, it starts from our Eva..."

The breeze blows, and the leaves of the ginkgo tree make a rustling sound on the head.

Pigeons in the square stopped to peck at the crumbs in the hands of children.

There are also those vibrant hydrangeas blooming in someone's garden.

I seem to see the point of soldiers again, and the clarion call for the expedition --- this era, this world,

Fresh as ever.
