stay together, down

Why can't a person believe that his dreams are real and his waking life is false?Yes, we can.We should be allowed to retain the freedom to choose.If there is an established standard and measurement scale here, it can only be and should be one's own will.

Two rows of lit white candles are arranged in a mysterious pattern on the table, and the faint candlelight shines through the dark house, reflecting the figures of the people standing idle.

A low incantation sounded, and the candle flame seemed to be shaken violently by the wind, and then "Huh!", the two rows of jumping short flames suddenly increased several times, and the room was suddenly illuminated by the candle flame driven by the incantation.

In the center of the table, the blood of Lin An, Klaus and the caster is contained in the container surrounded by white candles. Lin An brought it back.

The incantation continued and rose gradually, and the rootless wind that swayed through the house became stronger, and Klaus fell asleep amid the incantation and the sound of the wind.Elijah stands by his side, making sure that things are really going the way they want them to.

Elijah watched the girl who cast the spell. She lowered her head slightly, her face hidden in the darkness, and she recited a low and rapid spell from her mouth.When she was doing these things, Elijah could see that this was something she was good at. When she devoted herself wholeheartedly to it, her external innocence was hidden, and her whole body was filled with the powerful power of a witch.Elijah had to admit that this force was completely out of their control.

Elijah pursed his lips habitually, put his hands into the pockets of his suit pants, and moved his body slightly to shift his weight from his left foot to his right foot. ——This is an unconscious body movement when he feels threatened.The girl who was concentrating on casting a spell made him feel threatened.Elijah turned his eyes to look at another figure in the living room. The red back was leaning on the sofa, the head was drooping on the backrest, and the eyes were slightly narrowed, like a sleepy kitten.Elijah's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up inadvertently.

In fact, Elijah had predicted the twists and turns of things before the start, and I believe Klaus did the same. Things related to their family have always been full of thorns, chaos, heaviness, darkness, and accidents.He, or Klaus, or any Michelson, they're always ready to take this...

**

Lin An's cheek came to Klaus with the dawn, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Lin An leaning against his neck and sleeping soundly, and saw that her hair was covered with morning dew and pieces of fallen leaves.

Klaus never expected to see her for the first time like this.He raised his upper body a little, then lay down again.He saw that they were in the middle of the wild forest. Is this what she was in?Only at this moment did Klaus believe that Hong or Esther did not have the consciousness to besiege Lin An, she just found a dream to escape into.

The soft wind blows the corners of her clothes, flowing and jumping beautifully.The sunlight deftly shone through the gaps in the trees, and Lin An stretched his brows and eyes under the bright light, and all the dampness and gloom were swept away.

"You can sleep a little longer," Klaus put his hand on Lin An's forehead to shield her from the sun, as if they were not in a remote forest, but a normal bedroom, as if he had completely forgotten that he would Came here to break her dreams and drag the clean girl back into the murky muck.He just leaned in and kissed her forehead, and he said, "It's still early. We're still early."

"You're finally willing to change back..." Lin An said, his voice was soft when he woke up from Chuchu, his bare arms stretched out to wrap around his waist, and he was snoring slightly dissatisfied, "There are no wolves. fur is warm."

wolf?She saw his bestial form, and seemed to like it?Klaus raised his eyebrows with a slight smile, both happy and surprised.

Lin An arched into his arms, "Do you believe it?" She said, "I feel...as if I've never hugged you like this before..." Her tone was full of hesitation, as if she was trying to find it in her memory but couldn't find it. . "We've never been this close, have we?" Lin An asked.

Klaus couldn't answer. He heard her say, "I like this so much. I like it so much." Klaus' breathing became heavier, and he even felt a tight pain in his chest cavity as if he lacked oxygen.He has shattered the dreams of others countless times, watching them fall into the hopeless and broken dark quagmire, and he enjoys the crazy and inflated pleasure of violently manipulating everything.But Lin An can't, this is the person he wants to build his dream for, and now he is forced to personally smash the illusion of her dream—again.

Klaus hugged Lin An and sat up. She seemed to be weightless, perched on his lap very obediently.Klaus stroked her hair, bowed his head and kissed her earlobe, and he whispered in her ear in an incredibly intimate and gentle tone.He said, "Lin An..." He called her name in the first sentence, Lin An liked hearing him call her name, and nodded in agreement with a smile.

"Lin An," he said, "have you forgiven me for all the mistakes I've made?" They hadn't discussed the topic, and he had apologized for everything in the past, but Lin An had never expressed an opinion, forgiven, or couldn't Forgive me, I never said that.Klaus didn't delve into it, because they both knew that he would not let go easily, that the Communist dictatorship was doomed, and that other different voices were no longer effective.

But he asked now, but then he said, "You know I won't let you go..." Hearing what he said, Lin An laughed again.

Klaus looked up from Lin Ann's ear, looking directly into her eyes in bright sunlight.He said, "I hope you can forgive, because in this way we can start over better. Answer me, we can start over." Klaus pressed his thumb heavily on Lin An's lips, with a hint of tyrannical persecution.

Lin An nodded slightly.

"Nice girl," Klaus said, staring at her, not missing every expression on her face, "but not here darling, we'll start all over again, in the real world. In reality, we Will be so close, forever so close, closer..."

The fine sunlight in the morning fell into Lin An's eyes, and her eyes also shone brightly.Lin An has always been sober and knew that this place is illusory, but now it is time to wake up from the dream.She knew Klaus would find her, and there was no doubt that the man loved her, and though his love seemed thin at times, it never ceased.

Sensing her hesitation, Klaus lowered his head and approached again, stretching out his fingers to rub the sleep mark on her left cheek.For Lin An, this is a power full of temptation, she knows it, so she dare not look him in the eyes.

"You can't always be like this Klaus...I won't promise forever, not every time..." She protested softly.

"...The real world is too scary." She said.

Yes, the real world, the world of death, is scary and unreal.That was Klaus's real world.The reality that belongs to Lin An should be as quiet and quiet as it is at this moment, like sunlight, clear and transparent at a glance.

Lin An never expresses her disappointment and dissatisfaction easily, and even the wounds drawn on her heart by others are peaceful and serene.Klaus knew what she was going to say: your real world was horrible.

Klaus tastes the meanness of himself, which is different from his usual meanness. He can't easily flip through it, and he feels ashamed and tries to make up.The problems that need to be resolved between them are as numerous and complicated as the autumn leaves falling on the ground at this moment.Both try to cover and anesthetize it with the joy and falsehood of love.But there is no way to eliminate it.These problems are like secret episodic ailments that haunt them again every time they feel they are finally healed, and they stay where they are, without any cure.

They covet and fear.The time of this intermittent alternation of fear is getting shorter and shorter, fearing that the disease that strikes this time will finally be the last time to die...

"Oh, my God! That's enough!" A cry that seemed to be held back for a long time, "You can't just admit, 'We-we-don't-fit'?! See? Five words, 'We Inappropriate', plain and simple."

Lin An and Klaus turned their heads in response, and another face similar to Lin An was exposed to the sun, squinting their eyes and greeted happily.Klaus slowly and vigilantly blocked Lin An behind him.

"It's you?!" Klaus was alert and puzzled.

"It's me." Such a brisk beating voice was naturally red.She seemed to like Lin An's illusory dream very much, she deliberately picked up the thickest pile of fallen leaves, jumped and trampled on them, and approached step by step with the crisp sound of breaking and cracking.

Stopped at an arm's length away from Klaus, Hong blinked, deliberately bent to the left mischievously, and greeted Lin An, who was protected by Klaus, "Long time no see, Lin An. "

Compared with the appearance of Klaus, Lin An has a strong sense of reality when he sees Hong, because he really remembers that this girl who laughed and talked about Yanyan caused Cole's death.This is the hole in the human heart - it is always more sensitive to pain than sweet and stable.

Lin An didn't respond, and stared silently at those sly and smart eyes.

Without warning, the sky began to darken inch by inch, depressing and scattered, as if returning to the dark moment before dawn.The thin raindrops are falling, and the sky seems to fall on people's hearts like it will never light up again.The empty raindrops hit Klaus's face, which was cold.

Klaus turned his body sideways to block the sight of the two of them. He stretched out a hand to hold Lin An's, and the pad of his thumb unconsciously slid across her palm, with a soothing taste.

Red shrugged, retracted his body and stood up, and turned his gaze to Klaus.

"Aren't you curious why I appeared?" Hong Xiao asked.

"I guess it won't be getting lost," Klaus also smiled, and the corners of his lips curled up nicely, "but you don't need to waste your words, because I have never had much patience with irrelevant people, especially if she is still stupid. Block the car with the mantis arm." At the end of the speech, his tone was already cold.

Hong snorted and didn't pay attention to Klaus' serious warning. "Look, you always get the wrong object of hatred." Hong spread her hands helplessly, "It's not that I want to be a praying mantis, but someone sent me here to be a praying mantis. I think you must have thought of who it is." Hong's cunning and evil eyes looked at the opposite man.

"Yes," Klaus said, Hong was imprisoned by handcuffs, and the only one who could make her appear here was the spell caster who was connected with him and Lin An. "I don't trust 'her.' Neither do you."

"You don't have to believe it, but you can't stop 'her'."

Klaus' eyes darkened, "So you are 'her' lackey now? I thought you were mortal enemies."

"In a sense, we can never really fight to the death, because we are one. Right now, though, it's just a deal." Red said, "GOD! I love deals, you know I'm stuck In 13, there was no one in that place who could do business with me."

Klaus, unmoved by the girl's plethora of complaints, gave a small nod and said, "Well, then I don't have to stop 'her', just you!"

Klaus' voice was broken in the rain line, and at the same time his body was flying out.He is a king who is good at grasping the initiative. He believes that offense is the best defense. He did so, but his attacking body at full speed suddenly hit a transparent wall, and then flew out at the same speed. —The witch's old trick, the Boundary Curse.

Seeing Klaus' body on the ground, Hong took a step forward, barely stopping outside the limit. "Creatures like witches are simply the natural enemies of your ancestors, what do you think?" Hong said with a slightly lowered body.

Lin An ran towards Klaus but was blocked by the same boundary, and now there was a real insurmountable barrier between them.Lin An vaguely realized that this time it might be their "terminal illness".She heard the girl with the same face say, "Don't worry honey, you'll forget him in a minute anyway."

This is her purpose? !Lin An stood up, and the strange thing was that she didn't feel shocked at all, as if she had already foreseen the development of the matter, or acquiesced to such a development.Klaus also got up quickly, and they looked at the same person.

Apparently their anxiousness satisfied Hong, she said briskly, "Relax, babies, I didn't come here to kill you, or any other conspiracy you imagined in your mind, just to gently erase a part of it." memory, and let Lin An return to the peaceful life she has always missed. So," Hong was very happy, "I am here to be an angel, this time."

There was a brief silence. "What will you get?" Lin An asked suddenly, "You said it was just a deal, what 'she' would give you in exchange."

"Your body," Hong said, "is actually 'her' body, which belongs to me completely. Erase your memory and send you back to the Lin family before this all started."

"So even my body doesn't belong to me..."

"You will wake up from my body. Not everyone has the chance to start again. You can't be too greedy."

"So this is your witch, isn't it?" Klaus suddenly said, clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the invisible wall in front of him. Lin An saw the flowing rain easily pass through the powerful barrier and float to Klausbu With angry faces, they couldn't.She heard Klaus say, "You think you can decide everything you want, arrange everyone's life as you want." He said, "No! I don't care about your decisions, I will never, never give in and accept them. Unless you kill me now with a white oak stump, I swear when I get out of here I'll make you regret escaping from your thirteen-year prison..."

Red moved away her confrontational eyes, she stretched out her right hand, her five fingers tightened suddenly, and Klaus' body uncontrollably hit the barrier in front of him, his face showed a funny expression as if he was squeezed on a piece of transparent glass. The deformed and distorted red chuckled uncontrollably, "You say that because you don't know what I have experienced in my cage. But it doesn't matter anymore, you won't remember all this at all, you won't be naive Think that 'she' only asked me to erase Lin An's memory. If you keep these memories, how can Lin An get rid of these supernatural entanglements completely?"

Until this moment, Klaus finally showed real panic and despair on his face.

He was wrong from the start.Yes, he didn't believe in 'her', but subconsciously believing in 'her' would not hurt Lin An, because in a certain sense, 'she' is Lin An.But he ignored the essential difference between 'she' and Lin An, Lin An is an ordinary human being, 'she' is a witch - and she hates this!Even 'she' did not hesitate to transform herself into another person to escape all the supernatural phenomena she hates, which is also the reason for Lin An's existence.And he is the supernatural creature that haunts Lin An.So 'she' is now going to cut this entanglement.

Watching all this, Hong suddenly felt numb, she said lightly, "Yes, you will all forget, as if you never existed in each other's life."

All forgotten, as if they had never existed in each other's lives... Lin An watched Klaus's struggle blankly. Avoid, but still can't make up your mind to break up categorically.Now finally there is the unstoppable push of a third party, which will be a heart-wrenching and necessary order in their relationship.

Witches like to say that they are servants of nature, and they are also the constraints of almost all supernatural creatures. Even the ancestors are suppressed and have little power to fight back in front of the powerful power of witches.

"Now, let's end all of this." Hong said, stretching out her left hand in Lin An's direction, and clenched her five fingers into a fist.

With such a light and careless movement, Lin An immediately felt that his body was bound by invisible ropes, and he was powerless to break free.Amidst the sound of Yingying's incantation, it was as if a knife blade had been slashed horizontally into his brain. Huge pain came suddenly, and his breathing seemed to be cut off suddenly.But it didn't break after all. During the heavy breathing, the blunt blade sharpened and cut bit by bit, and it hurt like a beating heart.The most unbearable thing is that the pain seems to be unbearable. The pain is so extreme that I feel that I will die in a second, but time passes by, the consciousness is still there, and the pain is still there...

Klaus was experiencing the same pain, but he kept his eyes open. He saw Lin An's face as pale as paper, and heard her uncontrollable cries of pain gradually weakening like a cub.There are also those images hidden in the depths of my heart, those memories related to her are like the current rain, drifting over and then drifting away, I can't catch it, I can't keep it...

"No...No...No!" He yelled with difficulty, "No!!!" Finally, with a trembling growl, Klaus jumped up, and his body, which had accumulated all its strength, slammed into the boundary barrier !

At this moment, Hong's body swayed back and forth uncontrollably, the spell was interrupted, and Lin An fell to the ground.

"Damn it! Elijah..." Red grunted.The figure flickered and swayed like a wrinkled lake surface, before disappearing.

Klaus stood in the cold rain with a dazed expression.He saw a blurry figure flashing away in front of him, and when he turned his head, behind him was the dense forest that was also empty.There is a strange and unfamiliar blank in my heart, itching slightly, as if a piece was accidentally scraped off by a kitten's young paw, it is not fatal, but it is clearly missing.

The dark wind blew the drizzle into smoke, and the last ray of breath dissipated unconsciously.The fallen leaves are rustling, a scene of late autumn...

The author has something to say:

Double amnesia, isn't it a little less bloody......

So, here comes the question: which one should restore the memory first?
