the world is a toy

The World Is a Toy Author: Youkai Sansuiwen

In a trance, the sweet mist and the pure ambiguity spread bit by bit between him and her. The girl approached the boy quietly and timidly, her face was flushed, and her intoxicating breath Spray gently as she murmurs—

"Yao, do you know? Ever since I saw you, my heart beat faster, my chest feels tight, and I feel a little dizzy. This must be..."

"...are you nitrite poisoned?"

Act.1 unknown ceiling

Subtitle: "After rebirth, I am on the other side."

If a person's life is actually just a dream, then what kind of existence will the continuation of this dream be like?

Maybe waking up naturally, or falling into another, deeper dream.

"Then now comes the question, am I dreaming right now?"

When he became conscious, he found that everything around him had changed.

The sound of "di, di" echoed in his ears, which was a rhythmic and mechanical sound. After a little thought, he quickly realized that it was the electronic sound of the heart rate monitor.

He opened his eyes with some effort, but before he could do anything, the pain from his body made him frown unconsciously, and all the muscles in his body seemed to have been torn.Turning his neck with difficulty, the white ceiling and the smell of medicine in the air clearly told him that he is now in the ward of the hospital.

And it is a rather old-fashioned ward.

The layout of the ward is very simple. There are wooden chairs painted with black varnish. The bedside table is clean and nothing is there. On the far wall, you can see a printed form with the text on it... .Is it Japanese?

This is a bit interesting.

Slightly squinting, the sun penetrated through the cover of the curtains and turned into a dull white. Occasionally a breeze blows outside the window, and the chaotic curtains seem to be waving like children.The coolness of the breeze blowing on his face made his consciousness a little clearer, but soon, a severe headache followed, and he felt as if his head was forcibly filled with muddy paste, and even the slightest movement would make him feel dizzy. He was dizzy.

"Um-"

A cry of pain was squeezed out from the depths of his dry throat, not to mention enduring with willpower, his current physical state simply couldn't control himself.

"Meow--"

At this time, there was a clear cat cry from the corner of the bed, and a slight sense of oppression came from the body. The next moment, a small and exquisite white cat crawled over from the foot of the bed, and walked lightly. came before him.

cat?

This is a young cat, it looks like it should be of the short-haired variety, but the cat's eyes are purple, not the amber color common to ordinary cats.The kitten glanced at him, and after confirming that he had awakened, those small purple-red vertical pupils actually revealed a kind of humanized joy and excitement?

The kitten quickly jumped out of bed and ran out through the ajar door.

"Hiss—did I read it wrong?"

Maybe it's just an illusion caused by pain?How can ordinary kittens look as happy as humans?

He frowned tightly, and now he was a little used to the pain in his body, or he was already numb from the pain.His throat was itchy, and he wanted to press his dry throat. He raised his hand with difficulty, and his warm fingertips touched his neck. His small hand brushed over his slender neck. Kind of creamy and delicate... Wait, it seems that I didn't touch my Adam's apple?

His movements froze, followed by a burst of unimaginable absurdity.

No longer caring about his weak body and severe pain, he wanted to sit up, but fell back with a "bang", the piercing pain came from his body, and he couldn't help gasping; I calmed down, this time I slowly bent over and sat up, and then raised my hands to my eyes, looking at it carefully.

become a child...

Without a mirror, you can't reflect what you are like now.In desperation, I pinched my face, judging from the touch, it should be a round face, but I don’t know why it is dry; continue to check the body, it seems that I have just become a child, or returned to my childhood era?The little friends below are still there, and there is no transformation plot that I like to see.

But why did I become a child?

Although he had doubts in his heart, although he was puzzled, as the memory began to be sorted out bit by bit by him, the messy experience before the coma began to clear up in his mind.

Guns, blades, big explosions, fleeing in the rainy night; flames all over the sky, strange buzzing sounds, monsters that are not human, and finally seriously injured and dying...

He remembered that according to his injuries at the time, he should have died without being rescued.It's just that when he was dying, his consciousness entered a strange dark space in a trance. In that darkness, in that silence, he heard something very clearly.

It was a faint whisper, so soft that it was almost indistinguishable.

[If time turns back and life is reset, what are you going to do? 】

Recalling this point, he seemed to understand something, understood what his current state meant—he, who should have died, had now come back to life, huddled in this old ward in an unknown state of a child, How incredible.

"Should I say something at this time? For example, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing... No, I should be regarded as a rebirth."

Trying to say some bold words, the murmur blurted out, and was quickly swallowed up by the silence of the ward. He smiled silently. At this time, the light in the ward suddenly became dim. For a moment, he was stunned. He clearly felt that his own Something seemed to appear behind him.

A thing attached to oneself and obtained in that dark space.

It seems that the rich ink dripping into the clear water will slowly infect and spread after melting.The [darkness] flowing from the space slowly penetrated into his body, and soon, a strange sense of fullness replaced the pain, and he couldn't help exhaling comfortably.

No panic, no fear, just nodded in a daze.Everything in front of him is beyond his cognition, instead of questioning what transformation is happening in his body, it is better to face and accept it calmly.

"Well, thank you."

It was because of that space that I was able to regain my new life, and I should be grateful for both emotion and reason. As for worrying about whether the [darkness] that melted into his body was maliciously preparing to possess him or something... ...

I've already died once, why do I care so much about it?

After a little understanding of the cause of the incident, he calmed down and lay down again.I was a little bored counting the spots on the ceiling, and after searching for a long time, I finally found a space—please, this is a hospital, where are the spots on the white coffered ceiling?The clothes are naturally blue and white hospital gowns, with thick bandages wrapped around his body, and he doesn't know what kind of injury he suffered. He wraps himself up like a mummy in circles, and some places are obvious. Very hard, it should be plaster.

The fixation is so tight, is there any fracture?

With such a childish posture, he still suffered such a terrible injury. Now he began to wonder if this body was hit by a car accident or rolled off a cliff or other accidents.

Having said that, what should I do now?

He really had nothing to do, and he was a little inexplicably dazed for a moment, after all, he could be said to have nothing now, so what should he do in the future?What kind of role will he play?Now, have I time-traveled or been reborn?Or maybe both...

For a moment, he couldn't help but start to thump.

In any case, the most missing assumption in this world is "if", and the most overflowing assumption is also "if".

"If, I am now reborn and returned to the past..."

One hand clenches tightly, then slowly relaxes.

Well, maybe I can really reverse those doomed tragedies, and use my own will to witness true freedom.

The heart follows the thought, and the thought comes from the heart.At this moment, some persistent and inseparable emotions originating from memory slowly emerged along with the memory, but before the reality had time to make him feel emotional, the door of the ward was completely opened with a "squeak" and walked in. It's a group of people I don't know.

Subconsciously looking over, his eyes paused slightly on the little white cat in the crowd, and then pretended to be dazed and painful.

No matter what, let's pretend to have amnesia to get to know each other first.

Family in this life?

Act.2 The World of Fantasy Dependence

Act.2 fantasy dependent world

Subtitle: "Because of life and death, I entered another world, temporarily stealing half a day's leisure in floating life."

================================================== ==========

"Heaven and earth, the reverse journey of all things."

Autumn is getting deeper and the weather is getting colder.The delicate and elegant small courtyard is slowly covered with withered and yellow leaves, which rustle when the wind blows; these leaves are rolled up and disappear in the distance of the courtyard, and the remaining few flutter to the atrium. Here, inexplicably, it has a simple and mysterious color.

"The man of time is the passer-by of a hundred generations."

Inadvertently, the sun is slowly shortening.Originally, when I was recuperating and living in the hospital, I could only see the sunset glow very late. Now I can only see the golden orange afterglow here. The outline is vague and charming.

I always feel a little dispirited.

He was thinking a little bored, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the breath of "I'm so boring" was revealed in the blink of an eye, and he lay lazily on the edge of the large bay window of the atrium western room, turning over occasionally, or taking a nap. yawn...actually, he's really bored.

After all, it has been more than a month since he was reborn in this brand new world.

Not long after waking up that day, he soon saw his family members in this life.Not too many people, a pair of elderly grandpa and grandma, a pair of young couple in their prime, uh, and a cat demon.

But I don’t know these people (demons), what should I do?

So during this period of time, for the first ten days or so, he pretended to have amnesia, and even pretended to be deaf and dumb for a while. In addition, the acting skills he had developed from learning the methods of a fraudster in his previous life, as well as his own body Because of the child's natural advantages, he finally fooled it without any flaws. After a long time, he gradually figured out everything.

Simply put, he is now reborn in a whole new world.

It's not that kind of alien continent full of fantasy factors, nor is it simply going back in time. Compared with his own previous life, the rebirth of this life has actually come to a specious world.The time is back to [-], and the place is Nojingyuan, which has never been heard before, and it seems to be in a small mountain in the kingdom of Japan.

In fact, this is a parallel world, right?

The direction of history is roughly the same as the previous life, but there is an additional concept of "inside and outside world".To put it simply, the world is divided into two systems: "outside" and "inside". The daily life shown in the eyes of ordinary people is the "outside world", while the shady mystery and inheritance is the "inside world". They complement each other, just like the intersection of light and dark.

If it is from the previous life, this point of view is actually... What nonsense?

But it is what it is.The people in the outside world are ordinary human beings, they run around for their livelihood, they struggle because of their lives; the existence in the inner world is colorful and diverse, and there are even various civilizations inherited from ancient times to the present, among which there are even extrahuman creatures There is no need to mention anything else, just his current identity is enough to make him shout "This is unscientific!".

Tianheyao, this is a name that would be extremely awkward to pronounce in Chinese, but it occupies a certain weight in the other world.

In Dongying, a place in the far east, Tianhe is one of the twelve exorcist families established by ancient humans to protect their homes and kill monsters. It is "strengthening", the specific effect... I heard that a leaf can be strengthened into a magic weapon that cuts iron like mud.The Tianhe family, who are not very outstanding in various abilities, relied on this ability to squeeze into the ranks of the ghost-slashing family. Although they ranked sixth, they were discriminated against by other families because they coexisted with monsters.

By the way, the Guangdu of the Tianhe clan can only be inherited by males. In this life, his identity is only the only son of the Tianhe family, and his father did not inherit the Guangdu of the Tianhe family.

However, to this day, the Tianhe family has actually gone into decline, and Guangdu's power is only passed on to the old patriarch, the grandfather in this life.The so-called difference between the main family and the branch family is just the difference between staying inside and outside the world. The main family is responsible for passing on Guangdu. In order to maintain the purity of spiritual power, they will stay in Nojingyuan, which is the clan place of the Tianhe family, to hide from the world for the rest of their lives. Those who live in seclusion; those who separate their families develop in the surface world, running around for a living like an ordinary person, spreading the blood of the family.

It's just that the Tianhe family in this life has been divided.

The inheritor of the clan, his uncle Tianhe Daisuke in this life has no nostalgia for Guangdu. He who has not awakened Guangdu only wants to live an ordinary life and always wants to violate the ancestral precepts. Coincidentally, his wife Just gave birth to a daughter, and women cannot inherit Guangdu, which means that the inheritance of the clan has become a joke; using this as an excuse, Tianhe Daisuke simply left the family, took his wife and daughter away from home, He came to the city of his younger brother and his father in this life to seek development.

This kind of inside story can be filmed in Korean dramas.

Unfortunately, I was born as a boy in this life, and I also awakened the ability of light crossing when I was born. It is said that it is only a flash in the pan, but it is enough to worry the old patriarch; Born, but with the decline of the Tianhe family and the disappearance of the other world, he has now become the default young master of the Tianhe family.

What a trick of fate.

In any case, even if you are a member of a separated family, being able to awaken the Light Crossing at birth is enough to prove your talent. If you practice it and pass it on according to the family's trials, you may be able to complete it because of your outstanding talent. Inheritance of Guangdu, the Tianhe family may also re-emerge because of themselves.

But the rise of the Tianhe family seems to interfere with the development of certain people and forces.

I don't know if it's a certain power in the inner world or some organization in the outer world. In short, there must be someone who doesn't want the Tianhe family to rise again. The old patriarch and the others have been staying in the clan's land with the protection of the enchantment, but the others are Maybe.More than a month ago, I was attacked by an unknown person on the way to the bus. I heard that the entire school bus was twisted into twists. As for the number of victims and the on-site investigation... that kind of scene can be said to be prohibited Watched it, only to report in the news media that it was a traffic accident.

Yes, a traffic accident... only Tian Heyao survived.

In fact, the original owner of this body "Tianhe Yao" should have died in this interception, and he just occupied this body because of the dark space.Thinking of this, when he thought that he was just a soul seized and possessed, and that he was like a thief and thief from a humanitarian point of view, his mood became a little more delicate; of course, there would definitely be no guilt and shyness, those Things had been abandoned in his last life long ago, mainly because he felt resentful.

The reason is simple: will you get used to wearing the underwear worn by others?

Fortunately, the [Darkness] that has merged with him seems to know his thoughts. Since he woke up that day, every day he can feel the [Darkness] filled in his body helping him improve his body bit by bit: Appropriate Strengthen the body, distribute nutrition reasonably, and plan growth perfectly...

To be honest, he doesn't know why [Darkness] did this, but he can really feel the changes in himself.

That's an almost nuanced change.Muscles, bones, internal organs, and even blood flow... Maybe I just need to do purposeful exercises in the future, and these strengthening may continue.However, these changes were all done passively. He tried to contact the [Darkness] in his body, wanting to know the purpose of her choosing him, but she has been silent all the time and did not respond, or she could not respond.

Then wait until later.

But for now, these enhancements have benefited him a lot. In just over a month, his physical injuries have already healed. Not only that, the mysterious power derived from blood inheritance, He also inadvertently used the special ability named Guangdu, which lasted only a quarter of an hour, but he strengthened the chopsticks into a steel-like existence.

The conscience of heaven and earth, at that time, he just disliked that the chopsticks issued by the hospital were too light and uncomfortable to hold.

At that time, he was holding the idea of ​​"if only these chopsticks could be stronger", but his body began to emit light inexplicably. After being swept by the light, a pair of chopsticks became as hard as steel bars, coming out of nowhere The change in strength made him almost knock over the plastic lunch box.

"...This is actually an accident!" After the little accident subsided, he finally said to the little white cat.

After this incident happened, my grandparents began to persuade my parents non-stop. The topic centered on "I want to bring this child back to the clan", "His talent has attracted the prying eyes of the younger generation", "Bringing him back is actually It's for protection" or something.Facing the resolute grandfather, his parents in this life still reluctantly agreed, and finally he was brought to this clan land, where he planned to spend his childhood.

Speaking of childhood, it should have been more than three years.

Tian Heyao's physical age is only four years old, and he will have to stay at least three years until the arrival of elementary school. Before that, he will use the protection of the clan land to avoid those supernatural crises and disasters. This is the only thing his grandfather, the old suzerain, thought way out.

He has been here for five days now, and after the novelty of the mountains and fields passed, he became more and more bored.

"Ah, life... Life is like a dream, so how can you be happy?"

Closing his eyes, he carefully felt the cool afterglow of the slowly setting sun, and murmured his feelings about life in Chinese.

"Young master, what are you talking about meow?"

This voice is soft, with the small tone of a cat meowing in its weakness.Not long after, Tian Heyao felt an itchy softness in the palm of his open left hand. Without raising his head, he just squeezed the little fleshy ball in the palm of his hand intimately, and what he got in return was a "giggle" smile from a little girl Voice.

"It's nothing, I just feel that today's style is not noisy."

I always feel like something is going to happen tonight.

The wind got stronger, he turned his head, and hugged the little white cat who was approaching into his arms.
