I'm being held captive by a monster

End of Chapter 141 (Two in one, this plot ends!)

"..."

At two o'clock in the morning, Lin Xing'an opened his eyes.

He looked at Xiaole, who was sleeping beside him like an octopus, and sat up carefully.

"...A nightmare again..."

Feeling his movements, Xiaole opened his eyes drowsily, propped himself up half asleep and half awake, and rubbed Lin Xing'an.

"No, I'm going to the bathroom and sleep."

Lin Xing'an kissed Xiaole's forehead lightly and left the bedroom silently.

Instead of going to the bathroom, he went to the balcony alone.

Yin Hui was like a cloud, bringing Lin Xing'an to the rooftop.

Lin Xing'an had been to this rooftop when he was six years old.

That night he tried his best to kill Xu Can.

Finally, I ran to the rooftop and released myself in the heavy rain.

That's where it all started.

But that...

That was eighteen years ago...

Eighteen years is enough to transform this once unfinished building into a high-end residential complex with one of the highest housing prices in South City.

It is enough to change a person.

"Time flies..."

Lin Xing'an sighed.

He just sat on the rooftop, enjoying the cool breeze and looking at the South City at night.

I have many thoughts.

Twelve years ago, after waking up from that incident, Lin Xing'an never heard Taoyuan's voice again.

He woke up from nightmares more than once, suspecting that this was still a trap set for him by his "mother".

I suspect he still hasn't gotten over Puguang Mountain from eighteen years ago.

But no one asked him again whether he was willing or not.

He also tried to continue pursuing the truth.

Pursuing my mother, pursuing the truth on the other side of the door.

The pursuit is to find out where humans came from and how gluttons "reproduce".

Pursuing Yu Yu and the identities of those angels.

This put him in danger countless times and exhausted his physical strength countless times.

But no matter what he did, he still couldn't find any clues.

Until that day when he woke up from a serious injury and saw the two strands of white hair on Yu Shi's temples, Lin Xing'an suddenly felt tired...

The truth, at some point, seemed to no longer be that important...

"I knew you were here."

Xiao Le, in ghost state, floated behind Lin Xing'an and hugged him, then his body gradually became solid.

"Hmph, it's not that I'm worried about you, it's just... ah... I'm not sleepy and can't sleep."

Xiaole said while yawning.

But when she met Lin Xing'an's smiling eyes, her face turned red and she buried her face in Lin Xing'an's shoulder.

"We're getting married tomorrow, and I thought the groom was going to run away..."

She rubbed Lin Xing'an and whispered.

He hugged Lin Xing'an tighter with both hands.

"How could that be? My aunt would scold me to death."

Lin Xing'an picked up Xiaole directly.

Amid Xiaole's exclamation, he jumped from the rooftop and landed steadily on the balcony of his home.

"Huh, is it because of my aunt that you want to marry me?"

"if not?"

"you!"

Xiao Le screamed and bit Lin Xing'an's arm.

"Humph, I don't like you anyway."

She lay on the bed, hugged her arms and said angrily.

"Goodnight wife."

Lin Xing'an pulled the quilt and put his arm under Xiaole's neck.

"...Good night, husband."

Xiaole's body stiffened.

Then he rolled over along Lin Xing'an's arm and hugged Lin Xing'an like an octopus.

"Love you."

she whispered.

……

……

"Am I beautiful? Will An An like it?"

"Should I make this eye makeup a little heavier?"

"Would you like to replace those little pearls on your headdress?"

"Ah! Earrings! If the earrings were bigger, would they make my face look smaller?"

"And this lipstick shade, oh, I think it's a little light."

In the dressing room, Xiaole, wearing a wedding dress, rubbed her fingers nervously, pursed her lips and turned her head, constantly looking at herself in the mirror from various angles.

“It’s already perfect!”

"Will An An be charmed to death by you?"

Zhang Yunxi and Yu Shi were adjusting the hem of Xiaole's wedding dress in the back and said with a smile.

"Bride, bride."

There was a knock on the dressing room door, and someone outside waved to Xiaole.

"what……"

Xiaole closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and patted his chest.

Visibly nervous.

After looking at herself in the mirror several more times, she stood up.

"Let's go."

Following the loud voice of the host.

Amid the applause of the crowd, Xiaole took Zhang Yunxi and Yu Shi's hands and walked under the lights.

On the big screen behind her, there were photos of her and Lin Xing'an, who had known each other for more than 20 years since kindergarten.

Every little detail is recorded.

"Humph……"

Seeing that Lin Xing'an was obviously stunned for a moment after seeing her, Xiaole also showed a smile on her face.

"gorgeous."

Lin Xing'an took Xiaole's hand and whispered in her ear.

"Humph, then you still need to say it?"

Xiaole also held Lin Xing'an's hand tightly.

Fingers intertwined.

"Now the groom may kiss the bride."

After livening up the atmosphere, the emcee gave up his seat.

Xiaole also blushed and closed his eyes.

"..."

Looking at Xiaole's current appearance and feeling Yu Shi's relieved and moved gaze, Lin Xing'an also helped Xiaole up and kissed her deeply.

Until the host coughed lightly, which gave some hint.

The two of them separated.

"Hey..."

Xiaole blushed and lowered his head.

Tears could be seen welling up in his eyes.

"Xiao Le, will you marry me?"

Before Xiaole could react, Lin Xing'an took out a ring from his arms like a magic trick.

Then he knelt on one knee.

"pat..."

Xiaole's tears fell instantly.

She covered her mouth with her right hand and held out her left hand.

"I am willing."

She watched Lin Xing'an push the ring perfectly onto her ring finger, moaning and choking.

"I would like to..."

Xiaole helped Lin Xing'an up and hugged him tightly.

"Then you...then will you marry me?"

Without waiting for the host to speak, Xiaole asked in Lin Xing'an's ear.

"I……"

There was a hint of trembling in Lin Xing'an's voice.

He closed his eyes.

"I……"

Under everyone's gaze, he did not answer.

"I really want to say..."

Lin Xing'an opened his mouth and murmured.

And a look of relief appeared on his face.

"Xiao Le, don't you think... everything is weird?" Lin Xing'an wiped the tears from Xiao Le's face.

"Xiao Le, all our friends, all our relatives, my aunt, Sister Yunxi, and... everyone."

He looked at his relatives and friends below.

"All the faces, all the people, I had seen before I was six years old."

"Maybe we just bumped into each other while shopping, or maybe we just saw each other somewhere."

Lin Xing'an's voice was filled with heartache.

"...An An, what are you talking about..."

"You haven't answered me yet..."

"You haven't answered me yet whether you are willing to marry me..."

There was a hint of nervousness and fear in Xiaole's eyes.

But Lin Xing'an shook his head.

"I would say that everyone I've ever met was someone I met before I was six years old. There's never been a completely new person that came into my life that I haven't met."

"The truth I want to explore, the doubts I want to solve, everything I want to know, none of them have answers, because I don't know the answers at all."

"The places I want to go are the ones I've been to. I can't go to the places I haven't been to."

"Why did the house we bought happen to be the same building I walked into when I was six years old?"

"Why are all the gluttons I see the same ones I saw at the train station that night when I was six?"

“Why are all the dangers I’ve experienced the same ones I’ve experienced before?”

The hall had become extremely quiet without anyone noticing.

Only Lin Xing'an's voice was echoing.

"...An An, please stop talking..."

"I know you've been in a lot of pain over the years, but that's all in the past..."

Tears kept flowing down Xiaole's face.

"An An, will you marry me?"

"Please don't reject me here..."

"Please give me a chance, okay..."

Xiaole grabbed Lin Xing'an's hand, his body shaking constantly.

"An'an."

Yu Shi in the audience looked at Lin Xing'an with warning in her eyes!
It was a warning that Lin Xing'an had never seen on Yu Shi's face.

But he still shook his head.

“It’s all fake.”

Lin Xing'an sighed softly.

"No, An'an, An'an, how can this be fake?"

"If this is all false, then what is true?"

Xiaole shook his head frantically.

"Everything we experienced was real, everything we felt was real."

"My feelings for you are real, my love for you is real."

"The physical feeling and the mental feeling, all of this is real!"

"An An, please say it out loud, just say those two words."

Xiaole was already crying uncontrollably.

"Stay for me, okay?"

She looked at Lin Xing'an with a pleading look on her face.

Lin Xing'an avoided Xiaole's gaze.

"Eighteen years..."

"Even though it may have only been eighteen minutes, or even eighteen seconds, to me it truly felt like eighteen years."

"In fact, I discovered it a long time ago. I found that this world was built entirely based on the ideas in my mind."

"After I realized it, I just kept waiting, waiting for someone to ask me 'are you willing' so I could leave."

Lin Xing'an closed his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth bitterly.

"But no one asked. This world... is too real."

“It’s not too beautiful, nor too painful to be hopeless.”

"It makes me suffer, but it also gives me rewards after the pain."

“It allows me to experience beauty, but it also takes a price from me.”

"And this is what I want, hard work pays off and dedication is rewarded."

"So... so before I knew it, I'd gone from looking forward to someone asking me 'are you willing?' and looking forward to leaving this fake world, to feeling apprehensive."

Lin Xing'an raised his head and took a deep breath.

"Xiao Le, I'm afraid you, or my aunt, or Sister Yunxi, or someone else who has nothing to do with me will ask me."

“I’m starting to not want to leave.”

"When a day passes and no one asks me anything, I actually feel relieved and feel thankful that another day has passed."

"I'm running away."

"Actually, I thought a lot last night. Well, not just last night, I think a lot every night. I wonder... or maybe just leave it at that."

"I even anticipated that you would ask this question in this situation."

"Xiao Le, last night I looked at the one in my arms and kept repeating those two words in my mind."

"I think I should just say those two words..."

"I think I'll stay here forever..."

Lin Xing'an's words made Xiaole's body tremble even more violently.

"An An..."

Her delicate makeup was a little blurred by her tears.

"But I just figured it out."

"I think my mother is in another world. Her power might not be so strong to maintain this world for so long."

"Perhaps, it's no longer 'mother' who has trapped me here, but myself."

“When I start not wanting to leave, then I can’t leave anymore.”

"And when I want to leave, then..."

Lin Xing'an's voice paused.

In front of his eyes, a flash of light appeared from nowhere.

It was Xiaole, the warm and luxuriously decorated hall, and all the people Lin Xing'an was familiar with in the hall.

A ray of light appeared around them at the same time.

"why?"

“Why do you still persist?”

Everyone said in unison.

"I still give the same answer."

"I do not want to."

Lin Xing'an said firmly.

"If the price of my happiness is everyone else, then my answer is always only one: I don't want to."

The world around him had disappeared and turned into the scene on Puguang Mountain again.

And in Lin Xing'an's eyes, it seemed that the only thing left was the light in front of him.

"Kid, there's always someone willing to do it."

The mother's voice came from the light.

Lin Xing'an suddenly felt suffocated.

His body slowly floated up.

"He was not meant to be a sacrifice. Grant him eternal rest."

[Mother said, he was not meant to be a sacrifice, so let him rest in peace]

The harmonious voices of many angels were heard.

Lin Xing'an saw that the sky seemed to be... falling.

wrong……

It's not that the sky is falling...

It was the coffin in the air, the floating and upright Puguang Mountain, that was closing again.

Lin Xing'an felt like he was put into a coffin. In the light, he was surrounded by countless angels and was "put" in Puguang Mountain.

"boom!"

The surrounding light dissipated and fell into darkness.

A real sense of death left Lin Xing'an with no ability to resist.

His vision and consciousness completely disappeared.

And Puguang Mountain fell from the sky.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

"what……"

In the coffee shop, Yu Shi's heart suddenly started beating rapidly.

She seemed to sense something, and looked at the note that Lin Xing'an had posted on the bedroom door with rapid breathing.

The words on it disappeared right before her eyes, like bubbles blown away by the wind, stroke by stroke, word by word...

"Oh!"

The cake that Yu Shi was holding just now fell to the ground.

“Beep, beep…”

In front of the cashier counter, the Bluetooth speaker made a series of tiny sounds amid the roar of the oven's heat dissipation.

At the foot of Puguang Mountain, a ragdoll cat with blue-green eyes stretched lazily.

As the ghost domain slowly dissipated.

She jumped into Puguang Mountain nimbly and lightly.

　This plot is finally over, brothers. My writing is very poor, and I'm sure everyone's impression is hard to describe. I need to take a break and then post a single chapter to write a summary, summarizing the problems with this plot and the problems that have arisen in this book so far, and reflect on myself at the same time.

　　Then I will tell you about the effect I actually wanted to write for this plot and the reason why I finally presented it in this way. After I post it, you can comment on the single sheet. I will download the writer's assistant again and only look at your comments on this chapter.
