Chapter 864 - 864 581 Liu Yun_2

Chapter 864: Chapter 581 Liu Yun_2 Chapter 864: Chapter 581 Liu Yun_2 But it seemed that the other party wanted more than just this.

Was this the directive of the “Formless Mother,” or perhaps the goodwill of the “City of Scripts”?

Regardless of whose intention it was, as long as they acted together, then Liu Yun…

“This is too difficult, you will die,” Colin shook his head, refusing the other’s offer of help.

Though the Red Light had weakened the Gods’ power, it didn’t mean things would be easy…

Even if Liu Yun seemed to be blessed with unexpected strength, it was still tough to succeed.

Old Master Wu’s prediction was right; when the Red Light fell, there was indeed an opportunity, but such chances were few and hard to seize.

Colin would continue to strive, but he didn’t want others to die for him.

For that reason, he had left some contingencies with Yukionna to ensure that if something went wrong with him, she could be immediately shifted away.

Yet, upon hearing Colin’s words, the young girl still showed no intention of leaving, instead reaching out with a warm hand, looking at him with what seemed to be a pitiful gaze:

“You are really kind…”

Alas, this kindness wasn’t always directed at her.

Without letting Colin speak, Liu Yun shook her head and spoke first:

“I know it’s dangerous, but it doesn’t matter, I came for you.

“Actually, even before I met you, I always thought about taking you back to our place, even erasing your unnecessary memories, just living on in a room with only the two of us…

“But you, you probably wouldn’t want that… What I hope for is to see you happy, and the only thing I can do is support you, no matter the circumstances.”

“Why…” Colin sensed her determination, and wanted to say that their collaboration with the “Formless Mother” was over.

But she spoke first.

“Why?”

Liu Yun, the young girl named, slowly stretched out her hands, cupping his face, her intricately dark eyes gazing into his, sparkled with determination as she distinctly said:

“Because I like you, for you, there’s nothing I can’t do!”

“Uh…”

This naive declaration left Colin slightly stunned, feeling abruptly awkward and unsure how to respond—

Was it just because she liked him?

Colin, who was used to acting with deep deliberation, found it somewhat difficult to grasp this naïve, simple-minded notion.

Earlier, he had contemplated various reasons for Liu Yun’s arrival, including the possibility it was an arrangement by “City of Scripts,” a directive from “Formless Mother,” among other plausible speculations…

But the one thing Colin had not considered was that it might actually be Liu Yun’s own idea.

But, seeing the deep emotions in the young girl’s eyes, he couldn’t deny them, and for a moment, his mind raced with thoughts. When he thought of how she had looked at him when in “City of Scripts,” compared to now, there was hardly any difference—

Except for a touch more madness!

It was this indescribable madness that had, in a sense, signified she was “out of control,” but it had created a peculiar balance from what Colin perceived as “false” emotions…

At that time, Colin had felt that the emotions scripted were overly false and forced, bordering on stiffness, but now he realized…

That was just his unilateral feeling.

Perhaps in Liu Yun’s heart, the situation was entirely different.

“But, I…” Colin truly didn’t want to drag unnecessary people into sacrificing themselves with him. He wanted to tell her the whole truth and then reduce the unnecessary deaths.

When he first entered the “City of Scripts,” all his experiences were out of necessity. Her memories were just something scripted…

He had even barely spent a few hours with her.

If it weren’t for the extraordinary memory of the Extraordinary Ones, Colin estimated he would have probably forgotten the tiny episodes that happened, not to mention that minor episode which involved a non-human girl whose name he hadn’t even bothered to listen to a few times…

Now it was time to reveal everything; there was no need to linger on him.

At this moment, Colin didn’t want to use her to do something that might have no consequences.

But unexpectedly, just as he opened his mouth to speak a few words, the girl who had been very graceful and beautiful in front of him suddenly widened her eyes in a very ungraceful manner and screamed loudly:

“Don’t say ‘but’!!!”

Afterward, Liu Yun took a few deep breaths to calm down a bit. Then, leaning her upper body towards Colin, she once again stretched out her pale, soft, seemingly boneless hand, held Colin’s cheeks firmly, and for the first time, ferocity appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Dark thunder vibrated deep within her pupils—

It seemed that the words about to be spoken by Colin had stabbed her heart.

But soon, she withdrew that ferocity, slowly lifted Colin’s upper body, and embraced his head into her bosom.

After a while, she began to sob tremblingly as if confessing:

“Actually, you don’t have to say it, I already know, I know everything, I know some things might not be so real.

“I know I might just be born of something Mom did, I know you… might think of me just as their tool, and everything is just false…

“But, you don’t understand, for me, what I’ve experienced, my memories, everything I have, it is real!

“In my eyes, we grew up together, we are close friends, every time there was danger, whenever someone bullied me, it was always you who stood in front of me, no matter when, you were always with me, always thinking about me, silently contributing…

“For you, I secretly learned all kinds of games, understood topics boys talk about, imagined handwriting when conversing with you, and observed the styles of girls you liked to look at on the streets, then carefully dressed myself, just to have more topics with you when we are together, to draw your eyes more on me…

“But, but I haven’t even had the chance to share all these things I learned with you, haven’t shared…

“Suddenly one day, you just left.

“I searched for you for so long, every day I confided my longing for you in my heart, every day I searched for your traces, every day I hoped you would appear, every day I waited for you to come back, every day I prayed before the gods, praying for your safety, praying nothing bad would happen to you…

“Then, until one day, I suddenly understood everything.

“Somebody told me my everything was false.

“In my dreams, there actually wasn’t you or me…”

She bit her lip, her tears soaking Colin’s shirt in front of her, then suddenly raised her head, gazing at Colin, forcing out a tangible resentment from her quivering, hoarse throat.

“But! But ah! Obviously, all the memories I have with you, in my view, are real! Why! Why suddenly tell me it’s all fake!!?

“Obviously, as far as I’m concerned, from my understanding, every moment we spent together from childhood! Every conversation! Every detail! All are so clear, so real, we grew up together, we were childhood sweethearts, we, we… sniffling, why say these are all fake!

“I don’t accept it! I don’t care! I don’t mind! For me! It’s real!

“So… please don’t talk about this anymore… What’s real, what’s fake, obviously everything is so real, I remember every detail of us being together, I remember you standing up every time there was danger…

“In my heart, there’s only you…

“I’m not begging you to remember me… but, don’t shatter the dream of you and me being together, even if it… might really, really, in your eyes, not be so real, okay? It, I really have only this left, please…

“Don’t… don’t tell me it’s fake anymore, no hints, don’t say it, please… My memories are not fake, at least to me, they are real, I’m so foolish, please, I can’t distinguish it, nor do I want to.”
