Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

The doctor has passed away.

Snow Chizuru sadly discovered that the last thing she said to the Doctor was, "I'm going back now."

The girl's thoughts were pulled back from her memories as she noticed someone tugging at her clothes.

"Teacher Yukichi, please help me."

A little girl named Pello, who hadn't yet been picked up by her parents, ran up to Snow Pheasant with her homework in hand and gently tugged at her clothes.

Most children here face the same problem: their parents are busy with work and pick them up too late, so they have to stay at the tutoring center to finish their homework before going home.

Unfortunately, it rained today, and in the end, one child was left to go home.

"what happened?"

"Teacher, I can't seem to get one of the problems right no matter what I do."

Xuezhi picked up the notebook, which contained a few simple formulas. At first glance, they seemed fine, but upon closer inspection, something appeared off.

1=?

Children don't really understand this, but Snow Chirp is different. Although she is poor, she is highly educated and knowledgeable, and she quickly found the root of the problem.

"This topic..."

like……

why?

No, am I seeing things wrong?

How could this be? Such basic numbers, and I...

The snow pheasant's expression grew increasingly complicated. It picked up a pen and scribbled in its notebook, but for some reason, it couldn't come up with the correct answer to the question.

Impossible, 1=1 is the correct answer, why can't I calculate it?

Is 1=1 really the correct answer?

I……

The snow pheasant's eyes fell into confusion.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side, forcefully grabbed Xiao Liboli's hand, and in a very rough manner drew a big X on a set of calculation formulas that would give even college students a headache.

Then, the hand wrote 1=1 at the end of the calculation.

The snow pheasant suddenly jolted awake, looked up, and saw a somewhat unfamiliar face.

She seemed to vaguely remember him—the owner of the auto repair shop?

"Ok?"

A gentle male voice came from inside.

Xuezhi blushed slightly, guessing it was because she hadn't been able to calculate such a simple formula, and was therefore very shy.

"Close your eyes, hold my hand, and no matter what you hear, don't open your eyes or turn around."

"Eh?!"

"obedient."

The man reached out and ruffled the snow pheasant's hair.

The girl suddenly remembered someone who also liked to ruffle her hair into a mess.

The man stared at Little Liboli, grabbed the pen in his hand, poked a hole in the middle of the exercise book, and casually threw it on the ground.

He took Xuezhi's hand and walked out step by step. Their figures flickered visibly, like a television with an unstable signal, with large snowflakes appearing from time to time.

Raindrops pattered on her hair as Snow Pheasant heard students calling from behind her.

"Teacher Yukichi, where are you? It's so dark here, I can't find you, I'm so scared."

She wanted to turn back, but the man held her hand tightly, not letting go at all, and practically dragged her away.

What... is wrong with me?

"teacher……"

"teacher……"

It felt as if countless hands were pulling her from behind, preventing her from leaving.

"roll."

The man let out a low growl, and Xuezhi suddenly felt a sense of relief; the shouts and the dragging sensation all disappeared.

After walking a while longer, the air was fresh, and a gentle breeze brushed against my cheeks. Although it was raining, the dampness was not unpleasant at all.

"Open your eyes."

Snow Pheasant obediently raised her head and saw Mike's profile. The man was soaking wet, and his concerned gaze was impossible to fake.

Why is the car repair shop owner here?

"You have many questions in your mind. Before that, answer one question for me: why do you want to go to the outer ring of Longmen?"

"I……"

Xuezhi was just about to say that she had received an invitation from Lin Yuxia to serve as...

The memories I had firmly believed in were beginning to fade.

Those things seem to...

"Don't be nervous, drink this."

Mike handed Snowcock a bottle of ordinary yogurt; its sweet and sour taste made Snowcock feel a little better.

The man said seriously, "My name is Mike, and I'm just an ordinary car repair shop owner. I apologize to you. The first time I repaired your car, I put a little thing on it that would allow me to find you, provided you didn't ride it out of Lungmen."

"why?"

“Because you took the wrong money at the time, I only accepted 5 yuan, but you gave me 100 yuan, so I insisted that it was only 5 yuan.”

Mike magically produced a Lungmen Dollar, 100 dollars.

"I...I don't remember."

25. The Miracle of the Dead and Resurrected

Holding the 100 blue Lungmen Dollars in her hand, Xuezhi suddenly had a feeling of unreality. Had she really taken the wrong money?

No.

the answer is negative.

Mike told Snowflake this as soon as possible to give her a preconceived notion. Once she believed it, Snowflake would subconsciously believe whatever Mike said afterward.

"So this is ah."

The snow pheasant lowered its head, looking bewildered, and asked softly, "Can I turn around and look now?"

Mike, who was adjusting his bicycle, said without turning his head, "Okay, but I'm worried you'll be even more scared."

Little Liboli suppressed his fear, slowly turned around, and froze on the spot.

With the help of the flashlight provided by Mike, she saw that what she thought was her workplace was actually a two-story building that had been destroyed by fire, eerie and terrifying, with charred marks everywhere.

This is where?

“The outer ring of Longmen is a place that even homeless people in the slums do not want to come to. The fire occurred late at night in 1081. At that time, it was a welfare home. Many children and caregivers who were resting in the welfare home did not have time to escape.”

Mike seemed to have guessed Snow Pheasant's thoughts and recounted the origin of this place.

Little Liboli was still shaken and couldn't help but take two steps back, asking in a trembling voice, "So what I saw was all..."

"It's real, not an illusion."

"what?"

Even researchers like Snow Pheasant were confused by Mike's words.

Mike said seriously, "That's the scariest part, because you believe it's true, even if it was just a widely circulated urban gossip before, it will become real in front of you."

Snow Pheasant bit her lip, not daring to speak.

Poor child, this place is the most severely distorted of all the outer rings of Lungmen, and in Mike's eyes, it is as bright as a torch in the depths of the night.

However, Snow Pheasant had already believed the fictitious fire, and it had completely turned into a real fire ruin. 100 LMD to solve a Twisted Point was too good to pass up.

"Can I...can I make a wish?"

Make a wish?

Mike's eyes widened. Little Liberi had actually used the twisted mutation as a wish-granting machine.

What deep desires lay buried in her heart?

In this situation, even if you make a wish, it won't come true.

But in order to fulfill the little girl's request, Mike nodded and agreed to her idea.

Snow Pheasant closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and silently made a wish in her heart—a wish that seemed impossible to fulfill, a wish that could be called a miracle.

The distortion didn't happen. Snowshrike remained where it was, slowly opening its eyes, and saw Mike again.

She knew that wish was impossible to fulfill.

Within Mike's vision, the distortion point did indeed fluctuate dramatically due to the snow pheasant's wish.

Perhaps Little Liberish's wish was too grand and difficult to fulfill, and the distortion point rapidly expanded, like a balloon being blown up, bursting and shattering into pieces.

Mike's gaze towards the snow pheasant changed.

What wish did you make that caused the distortion point to explode?!

World Peace?

The war has disappeared?

Or do you want to become rich?

To put it another way, okay, I die, and then it explodes?
