【6:30 pm】

"Shashasha..."

The sound of tiny carvings sounded.

The girl with white hair like a waterfall was sitting quietly on a wooden chair, carving the wood carving in her hands.

Different from the previous wood carvings, this one is a girl with long hair.

The facial features of the wood-carved girl have a bright and generous beauty. Her eyeliner is long and narrow, and the corners of her mouth are always slightly raised. She seems to have endless vitality.

...just like its sculptor.

Leaning the fiery red spear against the table, Naraku lowered his head slightly and focused his gaze on the wood carving.

She obviously still looks like a girl, but her back already looks a little rickety.

She seemed to be immersed in her own world.

The blood of dusk passed through the window paper and sprinkled on her pale face, and the blood on her cheek had faded away.

Su Mingan took a look at the sky and asked Duoya if there were beds or a place where people could sleep nearby.

He cannot miss the last level tonight. Once night falls, he must enter the night copy.

He has no feelings for Naraku at all between men and women. What she likes should be Kaia who has the appearance and will of Su Lin.

Moreover...even Kaia herself, strictly speaking, cannot be considered the object of her affection.

The former Kaiya has long been consumed and occupied by Su Lin's memory in time. What she likes should be the original Su Lin.

So, strictly speaking,

The person she loved had died long ago.

Die for this world.

"There is a rest room nearby, but due to the needs of the southern city wall, this is a temporary stronghold. All the beds were moved there, and even the bricks were removed." Duoya hesitated: "If you don't mind, this is a temporary base.

This room has some space, I can ask someone to move the bed here now..."

"No need."

Su Mingan stretched out his hand.

With a loud "boom", under the shocked eyes of several soul hunters, a crooked and crude bed that looked poorly made hit the open space in the room like a boulder.

This is the nighttime "artifact" made by Su Ming'an himself. After returning from the sea, he made another one specifically to prevent him from being unable to enter the dungeon on time due to emergencies.

He has always been very rigorous about such important matters.

The requirements for entering the night dungeon are a "bed" and a "confined space." It's not feasible to just lay down on a bed on the street, so if it's too late to go back, you can just lie down in this room.

"Wait... wait, you want to sleep here?" Duoya was dumbfounded as she watched Su Mingan decisively put the bed down.

Behind her, several soul-hunting young men poked their heads in the air, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

They didn't know the prerequisites for the night dungeon, and their young minds were greatly shocked when they saw the legendary Master Su Lin placing his bed on the spot.

Su Mingan glanced at the system time, it was now 6:30 in the evening.

Generally speaking, the night copy will start when it officially becomes night, and the sunlight outside the window has begun to dim.

In order to seize even the slightest opportunity to meet the brave, he did not intend to waste time on the road.

He sat directly on the bed next to him, planning to enter the instance as soon as the opening time was met.

Seeing Su Ming'an sit down very naturally, Duoya's lips moved but she still didn't speak.

She thought that maybe Mr. Su Lin had his own considerations.

After all, he is a legendary hero, and he led Praia to face two disasters that could wipe out the entire nation. It is normal for his thoughts to be different from ordinary people...

She silently retreated with a few soul hunters, and wanted to invite Naraku who was carving wood carvings out as well.

But when she approached, Naraku suddenly hugged the wooden sculpture in his arms like a small animal protecting its food, and looked at Duoya warily.

Looking at Naraku who looked a little childish, Duoya knew that this was a symptom of Naraku's self-awareness gradually fading away.

This is the dissipation of vitality and soul. Once a person has symptoms of weak memory, it means that the situation has reached its most serious stage.

After that, she will experience a very rapid loss of will and loss of her five senses...and then she will lose consciousness and die in silence.

Her time is running out.

Duoya leaned down and said softly to Naraku: "I'm not going to rob you, child, but we don't want to disturb Mr. Su Lin here."

Naraku was stunned.

Suddenly, she lowered her head and carved a few final marks on the wood carving to carve out the thin hair.

After a moment, she blew a breath, and fine sawdust flew around the room like stardust.

She finished the wood carving in her hands.

"Give."

She suddenly raised her hands, holding the completed wooden sculpture of a girl, and handed it to Duoya.

"This...give it to me?" Duoya was a little surprised.

She thought that this wooden sculpture in the shape of a girl was what Naraku wanted to give to Master Su Lin. After all, everyone could see that Naraku liked Master Su Lin so much.

"Sister, although I seem to have suddenly forgotten a lot of things... and who you are..." Naraku looked straight at Duoya with a pair of faded eyes:

"But... I still remember that you have always been very kind to me. Thank you."

She held the wooden sculpture in her hand high, like a bright star, and stuffed it directly into Duoya's arms.

"..."

Duoya's originally calm expression suddenly collapsed.

Her hands trembled as she took the wood carving, and her fingers holding the wood carving were trembling.

Looking at Doya who suddenly burst into tears, Naraku blinked.

Her memory was gradually lost and her senses were gradually weakening. She had forgotten the name of the eldest sister in front of her and how she had helped her. But she knew that the eldest sister seemed to be very good to her.

So, she wants to give him a gift.

There was more to her life than love.

It's true that she likes Su Lin, but her feelings are never completely tied to one person.

As for Doya, the deputy minister who has always taken care of her, even if she has forgotten a lot, she still remembers that Doya was very kind to her.

Before that, she seemed to have been alone for a long time.

Like a small boat drifting on the sea, it may sink at any time. She has no companions, no crew to accompany her, no compass or captain to guide her. She is sailing alone on the sea, seemingly heading into the confusing world.

A lifetime of sea mist.

But since arriving here, she seems to have met many people who care about her.

Her ship has docked.

Although her stay here will be much shorter than that of an ordinary girl.

Looking at Duoya who suddenly shed tears, Naraku didn't understand why her elder sister was sad.

"Don't be sad." She suddenly opened her arms.

The blood-red sunset fell on her cheeks, and a golden glow reflected in her eyes.

"Hug." She opened her arms and said.

At this moment, Duoya could no longer suppress the tears in her eyes.

She took a step forward and hugged Naraku hard.

The white-haired girl's body was very thin, with very hard bones, like a skeleton covered with skin and flesh, and was extremely light in her arms.

Warm heat spread into her body. Duoya closed her eyes and leaned the girl's head on her shoulder.

After a while, Duoya gently let go of Naraku.

She knew that Naraku seemed to want to stay here.

She no longer tried to dissuade him, but just took a deep look at Naraku, as if she wanted to keep her look in her heart forever, and then turned around.

The door to the room was gently closed, and there were only two people left in the room.

Naraku turned his head and looked at Su Ming'an who was sitting next to him in a daze.

"I remember you too." She said: "...I definitely remember you."

Some dim sunset shone on her eyes, and her eyes were as dazzling as flames.

White hair hung down from her forehead. She stretched out her hand and moved the hair away, but she touched a ball of broken hair.

She looked at the broken white hair between her palms and suddenly smiled.

"Even if I forget everything...I still remember you." she said.
