I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 130 If You Are Too Tired, Please Trust Me

"Little brat?"

Teacher Juzi stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Lin Xing'an.

"I'm fine, Sister Orange."

Lin Xing'an found an empty corner on the edge of the cliff.

"call……"

He listened to the sound of the sea breeze and waves, closed his eyes, and calmed himself.

In his mind, he was organizing all the information he had obtained during this period.

"Everyone's death really seems to have nothing to do with the Taogui ritual yesterday."

"The direct cause of everyone's death was Song Chi's sacrifice. Song Chi sacrificed everything he had..."

"And the Utopia Dream..."

Lin Xing'an recalled how Teacher Orange looked after he completely eliminated the Utopia Dream.

“Without the Utopia Dream, you can see those monsters and angels.”

"But it seems that I can't avoid being eaten by monsters..."

"So... the 'brand of the sacrifice' isn't actually a dream of paradise, but Song Chi's social connections?"

"Or perhaps the Peach Blossom Dream is indeed a brand, and those who have had it are sacrifices, but the sacrifices don't necessarily die."

"The sacrifice will only die after being sacrificed. As long as it is not sacrificed, it can still survive?"

Lin Xing'an pursed his lips slightly.

He was neither in Song Chi's interpersonal relationships nor dreaming of a paradise.

So he still couldn't be sure why the monster didn't eat him.

But even if those monsters didn't eat him, he would still die as long as he was in this place and saw the angel.

"The angel in Villa No. 6 who looked exactly like my aunt said, 'Even if I'm a sacrifice, I can still survive if I'm lucky enough.'"

"So, what she meant by 'lucky enough' doesn't mean she hasn't had a Utopia dream..."

"But fortunately, it's not among Song Chi's 'sacrifices'..."

There was a hint of realization in Lin Xing'an's eyes.

From this perspective, eliminating the Utopia dream isn't that crucial...

But then, he sighed softly again.

"What exactly is the world on the other side of the door..."

Even though he really saw those monsters now, Lin Xing'an still... found it difficult to have a concrete concept of the world on the other side of the door.

"Angel... After Song Chi sacrificed everyone, wings grew from his back and he became an 'angel'."

"So... is this how all angels become?"

"They all sacrificed everything they had to 'Mother'? But sacrificing everything only seemed to yield a pair of wings at best."

"And Yu Yu..."

There was a hint of complexity in Lin Xing'an's eyes.

"Phew! But anyway!"

"Anyway! We've finally found the reason for everyone's collective death!"

Lin Xing'an shook his head!

Put all those questions behind you for now!
"If you want to prevent everyone from dying, you must stop Song Chi from opening the door!"

"But if I'm alone...how can I stop it..."

Lin Xing'an felt that his physical strength had been fully restored and clenched his fists slightly.

Suddenly, a series of footsteps were heard behind him.

"Sister Orange..."

Lin Xing'an turned around and saw Teacher Orange carrying a medicine box.

"Little brat, are you worried about something?"

Teacher Juzi squatted down, pulled Lin Xing'an's arm, and bandaged it skillfully.

"...Sister Orange, do you remember what you just saw?"

Lin Xing'an asked in a serious tone.

Teacher Orange looked up at him and cut the gauze.

"The coffin turned into a door, and inside the door was Taoyuan Village. Song Chi entered Taoyuan Village."

Before Teacher Orange finished speaking, Lin Xing'an shook his head.

"Sister Orange, think about it carefully. Angels, everyone's... corpses, and that kind of..."

“It’s like being the only lighthouse in a dark ocean, being watched by countless eyes.”

"Sister Orange, please think about it carefully."

Lin Xing'an's tone and expression made Teacher Juzi become serious.

Under Lin Xing'an's guidance, she frowned at first.

Then his breathing became slightly rapid.

"I……"

But just when Teacher Orange seemed to remember something.

As if a certain program was triggered, confusion appeared in her eyes again.

Then he shook his head.

"Little brat, what you see is different from what we see? Didn't you see Taoyuan Village?"

"No, there is no Taoyuan Village at all."

Lin Xing'an took a deep breath.

"Sister Orange, if I told you there's a monster on the other side of the door, a monster that eats people, and that everyone will die once the door is opened, would you believe me?"

"Or...if I say this before Song Chi opens the door, will it stop him from opening it?"

He asked, looking at Teacher Orange.

"Little brat, is this what you see?"

"Is there no Taoyuan Village?"

Teacher Juzi sat on the rock, closed her eyes, and was stunned. "No one would believe it, but if it was An An..."

"The teacher will believe it."

"Because the teacher knows that An An is not a child who would lie."

Teacher Orange looked at the calm sea.

The sea breeze gently blew her long hair, making her seem a little lonely.

"Teacher Orange..."

Lin Xing'an felt warm in his heart.

Teacher Orange is always like this...

Always believe in him unconditionally and stand by him unconditionally...

"An An, let me tell you a secret, a secret that only I know."

"When the teacher was your age, he saw a kitten on his way home from school one night."

Teacher Orange stepped on the edge of the cliff and picked up her legs.

"It was a cute little ragdoll cat with grayish-white fur and one blue eye and one green eye. It was lying at the entrance of the teacher's residential complex."

"The teacher was criticized for forgetting to bring homework that day, and he was in a very low mood."

"So after seeing the kitten, the teacher wanted to touch it, but it actually spoke."

"It told me to follow it, so I followed it. We walked very far, until the sun went down and it got dark."

Teacher Orange paused and rested his chin on his knees.

"Finally, my parents found me at the train station."

"I followed the talking kitten to the train station, but when they found me, there was no kitten at all."

Teacher Juzi turned her head and looked at Lin Xing'an.

"An An, do you know what that kitten said to me at the train station?"

"……what?"

Lin Xing'an shook his head.

"It said, 'Little Orange, Little Orange, I need your help. A long time from now, you will meet a little boy here who wants to leave home. You must help him.'"

“I still remember this sentence to this day.”

Teacher Orange said softly.

"So An An, when you go back to the past, find your teacher and say 'Juju Juju, I need your help'. The teacher will help you."

"I will help you stop Song Chi."

"After all, you can't convince everyone if you rely on yourself."

She tucked her long hair behind her ears, and her voice drifted gently with the sea breeze.

"...Teacher, you already know..."

Lin Xing'an was stunned.

"Qiao Qiao found out, An An, you've hidden it very well."

"But since they are both abilities related to time, there will always be some sense of connection."

"What's more, Qiao Qiao has used her ability on you before. She can sense the changes in the time mark she left on you."

"You're so good, so she guessed it right away."

Teacher Orange rubbed Lin Xing'an's head.

Then he buried his head between his knees and fell silent.

"An An, what will happen in the future? Are we... all dead?"

"Is there really no Taoyuan Village?"

"Then... is there still hope..."

A trace of brokenness appeared on Teacher Orange's face.

There was a hint of sob in the voice.

It was at this moment that Lin Xing'an suddenly realized how cruel it was for Teacher Juzi and everyone else that "there is no Taoyuan Village"...

"Teacher Orange."

After a long silence, Lin Xing'an stood up and walked to Teacher Juzi.

"If you're too tired, just trust me!"

Just like that day when Teacher Orange reached out her hand to him in despair.

As the seabirds circled, Lin Xing'an stretched out his hand to Teacher Juzi.

"Believe me, there is hope!"

His voice was not loud, but it was extremely firm.

It's like even the sea breeze can't blow it away.

"An An..."

Teacher Juzi looked up at Lin Xing'an standing against the light, and her eyes gradually became moist.

"Ok!"

She held Lin Xing'an's hand.

Behind Lin Xing'an, on the cliff, a silvery-white river emerged from the void.

Under the gaze of Teacher Orange, Lin Xing'an stepped into the long river of time.

There was a rumbling sound in my ears.

"Little brother! I believe in you too!"

Zhang Yunxi's voice came.

Lin Xing'an turned around.

In the bushes, he saw Zhang Yunxi hugging Qiao Qiao's arm, and Wang Xi hugging her shoulders from behind.

"Do not worry."

Lin Xing'an looked at everyone deeply and said softly.

Then, take a big step forward!
