Night World Players

Chapter 61 This is the most perfect ending, but it is not the ending I want (two in one)

When Rast opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside the window.

He sat up and rubbed his eyes in confusion, then he realized that the furnishings in the room in front of him were quite familiar.

It was not the guest room in the mayor's house... but the bedroom where he had lived for countless days and nights.

He wanted to move his body, but found that his legs had lost feeling for some reason.

It was at this moment that Rast noticed the itchiness on his arm and the faint sound of breathing.

The blonde girl was sitting on a small stool next to the bed, her hands resting on her knees.

Light blond hair scattered along the edge of the wooden bed, with a few strands hanging beside Rast's hand.

Her fair face was peaceful and gentle, her beautiful eyes were slightly closed, and she was sitting on a small stool, sleeping soundly.

Amys, his childhood sweetheart.

In other words, this was not the Frozen Water Town in the remnant of the disaster... but the small home that belonged to him and Amis in Canaan.

Rast turned his gaze and looked out the window.

What came into view was not the white fog of Dongshui Town that seemed to never dissipate, but the blue sky.

Under the blue sky are rolling mountains with snow-capped peaks.

At the foot of the mountains, next to the silver mirror-like lake, a huge waterwheel is turning slowly, and the windmill blades cast a huge shadow on the lake.

Such beautiful scenery is enough to heal all the scars in the traveler's heart.

As if she noticed that Last had stood up, Amys's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

The next moment, she opened her eyes, revealing her beautiful sky blue eyes.

Then, the look in her eyes changed from confusion to surprise.

"Laster, you finally woke up."

"Although Miss Hiltina said that you are fine, just mentally traumatized and need to sleep for a while to recover...but you have been in a coma for such a long time and haven't woken up yet, I am still a little worried."

A sound like a silver bell rang in Rast's ears.

He held his forehead, which was aching and splitting, and said, "Xiao Ai... was I unconscious for a long time before?"

"Well, after Miss Hiltina sent you back to Canaan, you were in a coma for another nine days."

"According to Miss Hiltyna, she originally wanted you to stay at Starry University. After all, that's where the best medical conditions are."

Amys tilted her head, and a few strands of her long light golden hair fell beside Rast's hand. Her eyes flashed with a look of trying hard to recall:

"But the school doctor of Starry University suggested that purely physical injuries can be healed in the Night World... and it is difficult to heal mental trauma simply by relying on external forces. Only in an environment that is most familiar and relaxing to the injured can time slowly heal the wounds."

"So, she took great pains and used a lot of connections to find Canaan and send you back here."

"Originally, Miss Hiltina wanted to stay in Canaan and watch you wake up, but with her status, she couldn't leave the academy for too long. She had to go back to take care of some matters in the past two days."

There was so much information contained in Amis' words that Last could not digest it in such a short time.

He supported himself on the bed with his hands, trying to prop up his body which was weak and tired due to long-term coma, but he failed after several attempts.

Looking at Last's actions, an expression of mixed distress and anger suddenly appeared on Amys's pretty face.

She bit her lip and reached out to stop Luster's attempt: "Counting the time before, Luster, you have been in a coma for more than two weeks."

"You are now a complete patient and need to recuperate quietly. You are not allowed to abuse your body anymore!"

As she spoke, Amys ran out in a hurry.

Soon, the tempting aroma of food came from outside the door...

When the blonde girl pushed the cart into the room again, the cart was already full of food.

There is white porridge, as well as stewed vegetables and desserts.

"You are very weak now. This is all you can eat for now."

"Once your body is healed, Rust, I will cook some of my specialties to reward you."

"My cooking skills are very good. Even a noble lady like Hiltyna praised my dishes after tasting them."

A proud expression appeared on Amis's delicate face.

She pushed the cart to the side of Rast's bed, picked up a bowl of millet porridge, and scooped a spoonful with a spoon.

Amys tested the temperature herself before carefully feeding it to Rast's mouth.

Feeling the warm, sweet porridge spreading in his mouth, Rast spoke softly.

"You mean, Xiltina and I successfully escaped from the remnant of the disaster, and she found Canaan by herself and sent me back?"

"Ah."

Amys nodded briskly. "Ms. Hiltina told me that you and she encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy in the reverberation of the disaster. He seemed to be quite good at mental pollution. The reconnaissance team of Star University was wiped out because of this."

"Laster, you were attacked by the other party, and your spirit was traumatized, so you even lost this memory..."

"But it seems that I spent too much energy dealing with you, so I was distracted by Miss Hiltina, which allowed her to successfully defeat the pollution and clear the reverberation of the disaster."

Amys carefully fed Last the porridge, then continued speaking as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

"As for her coming to Canaan, that was later."

"It seems that Canaan, where we are, is in a hostile relationship with Granville, where Miss Hiltina is, and information communication is sluggish."

"Besides, Canaan is too remote and has little contact with the outside world, so the name of Canaan is not recorded on the map of Granville Kingdom."

"Ms. Hiltina also spent a lot of effort and used all kinds of connections to finally find this place."

As if to change her mood, Amys clapped her hands lightly.

"But no matter what... all these troublesome things are over."

"Ms. Xiltina said that she left a message for you on the smart terminal, asking you not to worry about the affairs of Star University and just take good care of your health."

After hearing what Amis said, Last reached into his pocket and found the smart terminal he had received.

He skillfully unlocked his phone with his fingerprint and opened the internal communication software of Fanxing University.

Sure enough, there was a red dot flashing on the chart of the communication software.

He opened the chat interface, only to see many unread messages flooding the chat screen like a stream.

The sender of the unread message was nicknamed “Forest Ranger” and her avatar was a crystal-like silver rapier.

It's Hiltina.

[Last, I have applied for an indefinite leave of absence from the Starry University for you. You don't have to worry about the affairs of the academy during this time. Just rest and recuperate in Canaan.] [You have made a great contribution this time. If you hadn't used yourself as bait to attract the mastermind behind the reverberation of the disaster, and created an opportunity for me to directly kill its body, then we might have stayed there forever, and this reverberation of the disaster could not be captured within the specified time, and would eventually turn into the dusk disaster that descended upon reality.]

[Thanks to you, I was able to successfully rescue most of the members of the previous reconnaissance team... There was something wrong with the imprint of the Starry Obelisk. They didn't die, but were trapped in the remnant of the disaster. They were released together with the clearance of the night world.]

[Assisted in clearing the Reverberation of Disaster... and rescued 17 members of the Raiders' scout team. This achievement is enough to directly promote your Obelisk ranking to the top 20.]

[Or if you don't want to take risks in the night world anymore and want to stay in Canaan, it doesn't matter if you drop out of school. ]

[No matter what, Starry University and I will always remember your achievements. Even if you drop out, I will find a way to help you complete the mandatory missions in the night world assigned to you as a night traveler.]

Luster's fingers kept sliding.

The fluorescent light of the screen was reflected in his eyes, like the bright moon reflected in a deep pool.

After a long time, he turned off the screen and put away the smart terminal.

"Those seventeen members of the reconnaissance team who lost contact in the reverberation of the disaster are actually safe and sound. This is really good news."

"That's not the only good news."

A mischievous smile appeared on Amys's pretty face.

She cleared away the dishes that Luster had used for his meal.

Then she sat on Last's bed, stretched out her white and soft little hands, and helped Last massage his leg muscles which were stiff and atrophied due to long-term bed rest.

"Last, do you remember the shore keeper sister who saved us from the fire in Canaan and helped us rebuild Canaan?"

"Thanks to Miss Hiltina, we have found clues about Sister Guardian."

"She will come to Canaan soon. Rast, didn't you say before that you have forgotten many memories and often have strange dreams?"

Amy's movements were gentle but serious.

Last felt that his legs, which had lost sensation due to long-term bed rest, gradually regained some sensation under Amys's massage.

"When the shore keeper sister arrives, she will talk to you in person, and maybe you will be able to remember some things, right?"

There was genuine joy in Amys's words, but then her tone sank slightly.

"But even if Miss Hiltina says you should take a leave of absence, it doesn't matter..."

Amys suddenly came close to Rast and stared straight into his eyes with her sky-blue eyes.

"But I know, Rust, you will eventually return to Starry University and return to the Raiders of the Night World, right?"

"Ah."

Rust nodded. "I can't let Hiltina stay in the dangerous night world while I hide in a safe place and enjoy life."

"I knew you would make this choice."

"After all, you have been like this since you were a child, Rust. Once you decide on something, you will never look back."

As if she had anticipated Last's answer, Amis clapped her hands again.

"In that case, let me join the Starry University and become a Night Traveler."

"Since you don't know how to cherish yourself, Rust, let me stay by your side all the time and travel the night world with you."

"At the same time, I can also supervise you so that you can become a less awkward person who can cherish yourself."

"and……"

"and……"

She coughed softly, and her words suddenly became hesitant.

"I have met Miss Hiltyna. She is a very majestic beauty."

"I'm not comfortable leaving you alone with her."

……

Looking at the girl in front of me, there was an unnatural blush on her fair and delicate face.

Luster reached out and touched the girl's long, light blonde hair.

Her hair was soft and smooth, with a faint scent of sandalwood, exactly the same as the smell in Rast's memory.

“It’s a really beautiful story.”

"The seventeen members of the scouting team did not die, but were rescued, and the remnant of the disaster was successfully resolved."

"Canaan really exists in this world, and so do you, Xiao Ai. We can go to the Star University together and team up with Hiltina to adventure in the night world."

"We can support each other and rely on each other during the journey, witness many people and events, forge deep friendships and bonds, and see thousands of mountains and rivers together."

"Even the shore guard in my memory and my lost memories can be successfully recovered..."

Amys snuggled up to Rust. She did not resist, but let Rust play with her hair, like a cat getting along with the person closest to her: "Isn't this what you expected, Rust?"

"Yes, this is what I expected, the most beautiful ending of the story..."

“It’s so beautiful that people don’t want to let go.”

Luster looked at the packed dishes on the cart.

"Xiao Ai, do you remember what seasonings and cooking steps you used when you made these dishes?"

Amys was slightly startled: "Why are you asking this? I saw you woke up and was very excited, so I just heated it up a little. I can't remember it anymore."

"Yeah, of course you can't remember... Because I only know how to make egg fried rice, and I only remember the seasoning and steps for making egg fried rice."

Last closed his eyes. "In Deep Blue Harbor, I learned almost all the knowledge and skills that ordinary people can master... So this world generated based on my memory is so real, with rich details, so real that I find it difficult to distinguish, or I don't want to distinguish."

"But I can't cook... This is because Xiao Ai likes to study cooking. She hopes that every time I wake up, she can surprise me with a new dish she made, and use delicious food to dilute my self-destructive tendencies and sense of emptiness."

"So I never learned any cooking skills in Deep Blue Harbor. Even if I accidentally came into contact with or tasted high-end cuisine, I would actively delete those memories and feelings."

"I think every time I return to Canaan, I can be surprised by Xiao Ai's cooking..."

"I want to see Xiao Ai's happy smile after she hears me say the food is delicious."

In the suddenly bright iron-colored moonlight, the revolver fell silently into Last's right hand.

The gun muzzle, which was pitch black and swallowed up all the light, was pointed straight in front of him at the blonde girl with a slightly confused look on her pretty face.

“It really is the perfect ending to the story.”

"But... this is not the ending I wanted."
