Arknights is too real, right?

If you don't understand what Hemo said, you will feel confused.

But if you understand it, you will feel creepy.

But for Xia Feng, he is neither confused nor creepy.

Because he both understood and didn't understand.

In fact, he roughly understood what Helmer wanted to express. To put it bluntly, it was the same as Inception.

No matter how many dreams are nested together like matryoshka dolls, the one with subjective consciousness is the real one.

As long as you are in this dream, it is real. If you jump to the next dream, the previous one is false, because the previous dream cannot interfere with your next dream. This is the part he understands.

As for what he doesn't understand, Hemo, including Rhine Life, also doesn't understand.

That is, how can the soul make such a jump beyond time and space and turn the previous experience into a dream.

Huh~

Standing up from the rock, Xia Feng exhaled a big breath.

Then, he took a deep breath, the cold air circulated in his body, and his whole body instantly became more energetic.

Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's a dream or not, Ouch, it hurts!

Helmer grabbed his ears and tugged hard, smiling.

It hurts a lot.

It hurts, it hurts. I'm not Ifrit. Hemo, why are you pulling my ears? Ouch.

There was a gentleness in Hemo's voice that was serious.

Knowing that it hurts means it's not a dream. Since it's not a dream, don't take chances. Time can't be repeated. You have to know what you want and don't do anything you regret.

At this moment, Xia Feng felt that Hemo was like a parent who thought he had seen through his child's superficial thoughts.

He didn't criticize, but replied obediently.

knew.

Well, that's good if you know.

The initial construction of the sandworm breeding plan has been completed. Starting tomorrow, efficient and regular production and breeding can begin.

Hemer came to him specifically tonight not for psychological counseling, but to say goodbye.

Xia Feng, Ceria and I are going back to Colombia tomorrow.

This was agreed upon in advance, and Hemo had already done his best to put aside the ongoing experimental project and help him here for so long.

But at this point, Xia Feng was still very reluctant to give up.

Are we leaving now? All the facilities are finally ready. Let's stay and play with everyone for a few more days.

forget it.

No, to celebrate the completion, I'm planning to have a grand bonfire party.

Homer shook his head slightly.

No, although I like to stay with everyone carefree, but after all, time is very precious to me.

Hearing these words, Xia Feng's heart seemed to be tugged.

The words of retention could not be uttered no matter what, because he understood why time was precious to Helmer.

Homer is infected.

Even if Ifrit has escaped from [The Balrog Plan], Helmer will not stop.

She will still actively participate in experiments on ore disease. Even if the other party is the Rhine life she once hated, she will put aside her grudge and actively choose to join the research.

Because for Hermer, in a lifetime far less than that of a normal person, scientific research must be used to find a cure for oripathy.

This is the only thing she can do with her ability.

if not

The sky is getting darker and the wind at the pier is getting stronger and stronger.

Without saying any more words of retention, Xia Feng took off his coat and put it on Hemo's body.

Hermer, thank you.

kindness.

Feeling the warmth on his shoulders, Helmer smiled silently.

For the two of them, who have experienced countless events together, they no longer need too many words to express their emotions.

a long time.

Xia Feng, before I leave, I want to give you a gift.

kindness?

Hemo stretched out his hand and handed a brand new bracelet to Xia Feng.

The previous bracelet broke in Londinium, and I made a new one for you. Take it, No. 020.

Ah.

Hearing the number 020, Xia Feng laughed from the bottom of his heart.

He took the bracelet and put it on his wrist without hesitation, just like when Helmer gave it to him for the first time.

After stroking it gently like a treasure, Xia Feng raised his head and looked at Hemo.

Hermer, my home is your home. Whenever you are tired, remember to go home.

kindness.

If you are bullied outside, remember to tell me and I will definitely chop off the head of the person who bullied you, no matter who it is.

Oh, what if he is the president of the Colombian Empire.

As long as he has a head, it's the same.

Night falls.

Hemo and Xia Feng stood side by side, facing the sea.

Xia Feng, goodbye.

Well, bye.

The plane of Rhine Life took to the sky, and Helmer was gone.

Leaving with her were Ceria, Mel, and Magellan.

These heroes who helped him build Sandworm Island hurriedly flew back to distant Colombia without enjoying any fruits of success.

I don’t know when we will meet next time.

As one of the first companions to come here, only Ifrit remained among the Rhine family.

As for the reason for staying, it's because Brother Turtle and ACE are here. For Ifrit, home now means more than just Hemo.

Although she was very dependent on Homer in the past, after so long, she has a deeper understanding of home.

She will stay here because she knows that this is not only her home, but also Hemer's home.

Of course, there is a more important point, it is more fun here.

If she followed Hemmer, she would have to squat alone in the corridor of the Rhine Life Experiment Base and draw circles. Hemer was very busy and had to participate in experiments and meetings all the time. When he was busy, he had no time to talk to her.

The world is so big, where can I find such fun as Xia Feng?

To put it bluntly, almost all of Ifrit’s favorite things in the world are gathered here.

Turtle, Sorata, Fengbao, Dude, the empty beach where no matter how crazy you run, you won't hit the wall, and the sandworms all over the mountains and plains that you can't eat in a lifetime.

It's simply heaven on earth.

A few days later, in order to celebrate the perfect completion of the black-feathered sandworm breeding base, under the call of Xia Feng, everyone held a grand bonfire party on the beach.

night.

In order to create a bonfire party atmosphere, all lighthouses along the coastline are closed.

The villagers set up firewood, and Ifrit volunteered to step forward.

Get out of the way, I'll light the fire!

Wolf reminded from the side.

Ifrit, please be careful and don't burn the wood to ashes.

I know, I know.

With Ifrit's raised palm, the firewood suddenly burned, instantly lighting up everyone's happy faces.

The fire was very warm. Everyone gathered around the bonfire. Xia Feng raised his hands high and shouted.

I announce that the Black Feather Sandworm Breeding Base is officially completed!

ohhhhhhh!

Because there were so many people, a small fire was obviously not enough for fun. Xia Feng looked around and saw that there seemed to be no flammable items on the coastline.

Then he winked at Ifrit.

Ancestor, come and give us the whole job.

How to fix it?

Let's have a Balrog version of fireworks.

understood.

After receiving a finished Origin Stone from Wolf, Ifrit ran to an open space a hundred meters away.

Then, the thin figure pointed to the sky.

boom!

With a loud noise of shaking the earth and the mountains, it dawned.

On this day, the villagers living in all the villages around Nanwan Town got up again just before falling asleep.

Some people stood in front of the window, some people walked out of the yard, and everyone's eyes were turned to the south.

In sight, a thick pillar of fire reached straight into the sky, which was breathtaking.

The visual impact alone is no less than a natural disaster.

After a period of time, finished sandworms began to be produced in batches, and there were no problems in feed processing and other aspects.

Haimen Group's cargo ships ply between Dongguo and Victoria, and the entire south coast is busy and orderly.

One day, Xia Feng, who took Gui Gui and the others to the town to buy candied haws, heard a piece of news by chance.

The war between Xichuan and Dongzhou seems to be more tense than before, and it has even reached the point where a war will start at any time.

This was something Xia Feng had known for a long time, but this time, the news was different from what he had learned before.

This time, it is not the Nishinomiya family's pressing step by step and the Sakurawu family's roundabout defense, but the Nishimiya family's full-scale contraction of their formation, and the Sakurawu family's full-scale counterattack!

For some reason, the repressive relationship between Nishimiya and the Sakura Takeshi family had a magical two-level reversal in just two months.

In the town, Ifrit asked the old man selling candied haws in displeasure.

Why isn't there spicy flavor? Why isn't there?

Turtle sensibly took Ifrit's arm.

Tanghulu has no spicy taste.

Why!

Because it doesn't taste good if you add chili pepper.

Ifrit rolled her eyes.

Oh no, I can't accept that.

Next to him, Xia Feng didn't care about why peppers couldn't be added to the candied haws. Instead, he was thinking about the news about the war between the East and the West that he had just heard from passers-by.

Opening his mouth, he pulled a sweet and sour hawthorn from the candied haws, chewing it and mumbling at the same time.

What happened? Why did it happen the other way around? The Yingwu family bottomed out and the small universe exploded?
