"no..."
"not like this!"
Chapter 180 In the alley...
"Mother."
"Mother.."
"Mother..."
The child's clear voice echoed in Frey's ears, making the accusations from the surrounding vendors seem much weaker.
It was as if the child from her past appeared before her eyes.
The three-year-old boy skipped over to her and affectionately called out "Mommy."
Even through the leg armor, Frey could almost feel the warmth on her face.
As children grow up, the way we address them seems to become more distant.
Has he changed?
It's always been me who's changing...
Frey still remembers lying in bed, weakly accepting the two children Simon handed to her.
Unlike Qin, who was constantly crying, and unlike other children, his eyes were closed as if he were asleep.
But when I reached out to hug him, he opened his eyes.
In that childlike smile, Frey saw herself reflected in those bright, sparkling eyes.
She also saw two chubby little hands trying to grab her.
Although the reflection of himself in those eyes was deathly pale, he couldn't help but smile.
She realized that she had actually been smiling at that moment.
but...
When did everything change?
Is it time to start taking on Gunnhildr's responsibilities?
Was it the beginning of drifting apart from Simon?
Or...
Frey still remembers that day; it was the day Mu Xian and Qin were baptized in the church.
Simon happily led the two to the church, but returned looking worried.
That night, Simon told Frey something.
On the day of his baptism, the church gave Mu Xian a prophecy.
This child was destined to die young.
Die young?
How can it be? !
He is...
But... my child!
Her chivalrous upbringing prevented her from immediately taking Simon to the church to argue.
That day, she lay in bed with her two children in her arms, eyes open, for a long time.
The next day, Frey handed a wooden sword to Mu Xian...
That was the reason Frey initially had Mu Xian practice swordsmanship.
However, just like many people who forget their original intentions, Frey also forgot many things.
The responsibility to her family and the mission to protect Mondstadt weighed heavily on Frey, making it hard for her to breathe.
Unbeknownst to her, Frey had passed on the pressure she was under to someone who shouldn't have been bearing it.
They even gradually got used to it.
But why should we take it for granted?
Frey, clutching her head and gripping the severed arm, finally realized what she needed to do.
She looked up at Mu Xian, only to see him looking at her coldly through the crowd.
The cold gaze caused Frey a pang of pain in her heart, but the pain was nothing compared to the unbearable chill of panic that ran through her body.
Blood was flowing from the incision, slowly mixing with the clothes around the wound.
Red is the bright red of blood, and white is the paleness of the face.
The interplay of red and white made Frey shake her head in disbelief.
Holding her severed arm, she wanted to run over and reattach it to the wound.
"Mu Xian..."
"baby..."
"Does it hurt?"
"Don't be afraid, don't cry..."
"Mommy...Mommy's here..."
Her words were somewhat incoherent, a loss of composure she had never shown before.
She never did this, not even when hunting the Golden King Beast.
Frey picked up the severed arm from the ground but accidentally dropped it again, causing Frey's face to turn pale.
This time, she picked up the severed arm with even greater care, and then walked towards Mu Xian.
Frey's arrival made Mu Xian frown.
However, before Mu Xian could say anything, the vendors stopped Frey.
The vendors who stopped Frey spoke to her in twos and threes.
The implication of her words was simply that "she's running over here because she wants to harm her own child, and we need to stop her."
One of the "helpful" vendors even turned around and said something to Mu Xian.
"Little one, hurry up and run, we'll stop her."
It must be said that this statement coincides with Mu Xian's thoughts.
But because of this unexpected coincidence, Mu Xian did not leave; instead, he showed a thoughtful expression.
Mu Xian could sense that these vendors weren't real people, but rather like controlled puppets.
They are all illusions created based on the dream subject.
Thinking of this, Mu Xian glanced at his right arm, which he had cut off.
These are some things that Mu Xian couldn't have imagined.
In the realm of consciousness, Mu Xian, who had been stabbed in the chest by the silent man, thought he wouldn't feel any pain.
But when I actually chopped down, I felt a real pain.
Although Mu Xian could endure it, children's sense of pain is much more acute than adults', and it almost made the body kneel on the ground.
But it was because of this pain that Mu Xian was able to determine who the main body was.
so...
Can I wake up as long as I realize it's a dream?
Mu Xian tried it and found that it didn't work.
The doctor seemed to have anticipated this situation, so he used some methods to prevent Mu Xian from escaping the dream so easily.
Since that's the case...
Then let's use a more brutal method.
He glanced at the West Wind Longsword that he was dragging on the ground, and then at Frey, who was being blocked by the vendors.
Frey might stop herself if she realized what she was about to do.
Mu Xian simply dragged his West Wind Longsword away, turned around, and walked into a deserted alley.
On the other side, Frey kept her eyes fixed on Mu Xian.
Seeing Mu Xian leave made her even more anxious.
She ignored the surrounding vendors and rushed out of the crowd to head towards the corner of the alley.
At first, she moved very fast; Frey's goal was to prevent those who were holding her from catching up with her.
Just as Frey was about to reach the alley, she heard the sound of something piercing flesh a few meters from the alley entrance.
The sound was very familiar to Frey, but at this moment, Frey's steps slowed down as she listened to it.
It slowed down more and more, and finally stopped just before the corner.
Now, Frey only needs to take one step forward and turn around to see the scene in the alley.
But Frey didn't dare to do that.
Holding Mu Xian's severed arm, she guessed something.
Frey wasn't afraid of having nightmares because she knew that many things in dreams were unreal.
In reality, whatever happens, just face it properly.
But now Frey felt a little scared.
I was so scared that even knowing it was a dream, I didn't dare to take a single step forward.
After all... this is a solution Frey wouldn't even consider.
