"I don't want to see them."
When this sentence came out of Valentine's mouth, he suddenly froze and stared blankly at the grass in front of him, unable to recover for a long time.
There's something wrong...
Why did you say it so easily?
Why don't I feel heartache at all?
Why can I say this so calmly without feeling the slightest bit of sadness?
A series of questions appeared in Valentine's mind, and the little dragon man himself did not expect to change his face when facing the final outcome.
He thought he would shed at least a tear or two.
But in the blink of an eye, Valentine figured out the reason. He chuckled slightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and repeated the sentence again.
"right."
There was a sparkle in his eyes.
"I don't want to see them."
The grass was very quiet, with only the faint sound of the breeze blowing through the grass and flowers. Jiao Zhengyu tilted his head, reached out and took down the small question mark that appeared next to his head, shook it in front of Valentine, and spoke carefully:
"Are you OK?"
Is this really his agent?
Is this really the Valentine who regards Raphael and Xing Yihuang as beings more important than his own life? ?
still……
The fact that he was about to be separated from the one he loved turned him into Aqua?
"I'm fine."
Valentin brushed away the little hand dangling in front of his eyes and turned his head to look at Shang Jiao Zhengyu.
“I’ve never understood my heart so clearly.”
There was still a smile on his lips.
People always say that before death, people will unconsciously recall the life they have spent. When this fleeting memory ends, people will leave here and go to a new world.
Valentin didn't trigger this magical function just now, but he recalled every bit of life with Raphael and Xing Yihuang. When this condensed memory ended, he also understood why he was so calm.
It seems that in the face of "death", the most cruel ending that no one can escape, people's thinking will be sublimated. When you accept the coming ending, you may gain new insights when you look back at the past story.
Valentine found his answer.
"Do you know what you said?"
Jiao Zhengyu put down his arms and frowned slightly.
"You didn't want to see them, and you even used Originium skills to control animals and blocked the way of all Rhode Island operators, including those two girls."
Just when he was talking to Valentine, Jiao Zhengyu felt the changes in the forest.
After taking care of the enemies, the animals transformed by the dark blue flying dragon formed a line of defense around the center of the forest, the grassland where they were, denying anyone entry.
The Rhode Island operators wanted to enter the forest to find Valentine, but were forced back to their base by a group of ferocious beasts. No matter where Raphael and Xing Yihuang went, a group of animals blocked their path, preventing them from finding their other half.
The two girls probably guessed something. They wanted to break away from the encirclement but were unwilling to hurt the animals created by Valentine. They could only stand there and wait for Valentine to come back.
"I can see how strong their desire to see you is, but you have no intention of seeing them at all?"
Venting his emotions turns an infatuated boy into a stone-hearted person?
"Of course I want to see them."
Valentine looked away and looked at the forest in front of him.
"Not only do I want to see them, I also want to stand up and hug them. I want to go back to Rhode Island with them, continue working and living, go back to Vaifan's hometown during the holidays, or go to Rutland and Yan Country to visit..."
His thoughts wandered far away, and he even imagined what his child should be called.
"But I shouldn't see them, I can't see them."
The cruel reality destroyed the beautiful dream. Valentine's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself.
Jiao Zhengyu said nothing, waiting for his next words.
"What will happen if Raphael and Xing Yihuang come in and see me?"
Valentin asked a question, and then answered it on his own.
"They were filled with joy because the battle was finally over. No one died. I responded positively to their feelings, and the relationship changed from just friends to lovers."
"Shrubs and tree roots cannot hinder their steps, because their hearts are like sharp swords that can cut through all obstacles that prevent them from seeing their lovers."
"And when these two girls see me sitting on the grass, the smiles on their faces will shine in the sun, so beautiful that they would dwarf even the most precious jewelry in the world."
Valentine's eyes lost focus. He imagined the scene running towards him, smiling like a child.
"but……"
The smile on his face did not disappear, but it became more bitter.
"When they are close enough to me, the tragedy of my body will be deeply imprinted in those two pairs of beautiful eyes, destroying the joy in their hearts."
Having said this, Valentine bent down and patted his leg. The sound was crisp, like slapping a hard object.
"My legs have been completely turned to Origin Stone. I can't stand up anymore and can only sit here."
Jiao Zhengyu glanced at Valentin's exposed ankles.
What she saw in her eyes was a whole piece of Originium crystal with no cracks.
Not only can this little dragon man not stand up anymore, he can't even bend his knees now.
"I will only wipe away their smiles and replace them with crying and tears."
"I have never seen Raphael cry. Maybe this will be the first and last time I see her cry."
Angel sister sheds tears? Valentine didn't even think about it.
Why do you cry when you smile so beautifully?
Just smile.
"As for Yihuang..."
"Such a strong girl shouldn't cry, right?"
Valentine scratched his head, but found that his arms were hanging in the air. He tried to move his arm, and finally succeeded with a crackling sound.
The sound was louder than before, and the force required to break the Originium crystal was also much greater than before.
"Bartmore."
Jiao Zhengyu reminded him in a low voice.
She lowered her head and played with the grass at her hand, her voice a little muffled.
Valentine was slightly startled when he heard the name and nodded.
"Yes, Buttermore. There she was in tears."
"But that's not really crying, right? It's just a few tears shed."
Valentine will never forget the battle at Buttermore. It was the place where he opened the door to a new world.
Jiao Zhengyu didn't respond to this explanation. It seemed that the green grass on the ground was more interesting to her.
Valentin didn't pay attention to this and continued.
"Their smiles froze and then disappeared, and tears fell down their cheeks. I looked at them standing in front and wanted to go over and wipe the tears on their faces, but I couldn't move at all."
"Raphael might shout my name and rush to hug me, but he will be stopped by Xing Yihuang."
"Because now I am already a large piece of Originium, and Raphael is a non-infected person. If he comes into contact with me rashly, he will be infected with ore disease."
"I don't want to see an infected Raphael, and neither does Xing Yihuang."
"They are very good friends."
There was still tension between the two girls when they first moved into the villa, but after half a year they became good friends.
The best way to melt a piece of ice is to attach a fiery heart to it. Raphael did this, and what she gained was Xing Yihuang's 100% trust and friendship.
Maybe go further.
"This is the end. At the end, I should say something like 'You should live a good life', 'Don't worry about me', 'Live your own life', etc., and look at them one last time before my eyes turn into Originium crystals. And then fell into a deep sleep.”
"And Raphael and Xing Yihuang..."
The imagination stopped, and Valentine withdrew his gaze.
"They will be depressed for a while."
"Maybe a few months, maybe a few years. Yihuang should be able to come out soon, and it should take a little longer for Raphael to come out."
"But eventually you have to get back to normal life."
"In that case..."
Jiao Zhengyu's hand stopped.
She raised her head and met Valentine's gaze.
Those light red eyes seemed calm, but there was a sea of tears and pain suppressed inside.
"Why should they come here and see me like this and be in pain?"
I like them.
I like to see Raphael's smile, it is warmer than the winter sun.
I like to see Xing Yihuang's serious expression, it makes me feel more solid than the mountains.
As long as they are still alive and well, as long as they are still smiling...
I won't feel pain.
I won't be sad.
That's why I could say that so calmly.
Time such as water, always silent. your happiness is the sun in my world.

"What a seed of infatuation."
After listening to Valentine's story, Jiao Zhengyu sighed, his words full of helplessness.
"If you have a personality like yours and meet a girl you like on earth, I really can't imagine what you will become in the end."
"ha."
Valentin laughed at this.
"There's no need to imagine, because I won't meet anyone I fall in love with on Earth."
What kind of girl could a Sanpu young man with average appearance, average talent, and average family background meet in a view of love that is gradually being corrupted by money?
Chen Yue never thought about it.
What he liked before time travel were all two-dimensional paper figures.
A group from Port Piran, a group from Griffin, a group from Rhode Island...
Can be seen and heard, but cannot be touched.
But he really got joy out of it.
"Fortunately, I dragged you into this world and let you experience what love is like."
Jiao Zhengyu nodded.
What does a perfect love require?
The good looks of both parties, the almost platonic pure feelings, sincerity without deception, a little tragedy in the middle, and finally a comedy ending.
Perfect.
There's just something wrong with Valentine's love...
This tragedy was too much, causing the ending to become a tragedy.
"To be honest, I really have to thank you for giving me a chance to live a new life."
Valentine's expression was sincere.
"Although this world is terrible, I have encountered a lot of *Chinese swear words*, you are also a profiteer system, and I often spit sweet things at you..."
…
The corner of the Wendigo girl's eyes twitched, her gorgeous purple pupils seemed to be about to open the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"But you made me meet Xing Yihuang and Raphael."
"It gave me, an emotional novice, a taste of what it's like to be in love."
It turns out that Valentine still doesn't understand why there are so many literary works about love in the world, but now he understands.
These two words are poison buried in the human heart that cannot be removed.
Once unearthed…
The only end is addiction, and if you get too involved you may even become crazy.
"Thanks."
These two words should be the heaviest words Valentin ever said to Jiao Zhengyu.
Looking at the little dragon man who lowered his head slightly in front of her, the Wendigo girl scratched her hair and nodded slightly.
"Well, there's no need to be so solemn..."
"Sometimes I still feel that I have been too much towards you. After all, system plug-ins and other things should have allowed you to have a smooth life in the world of Terra."
"In that case..."
Valentine raised his head, a smirk forming on his lips.
"Do me one last favor before I leave."
Jiao Zhengyu was stunned when he heard this.
But she didn't show any dissatisfaction, she just nodded and signaled Valentine to continue.
"It doesn't count as help. After all, I will leave you with such a large piece of Origin Stone after I am gone."
Valentine tapped his thigh.
Hard.
"The power you gave me isn't enough to require such a large piece of Origin Stone, right?"
Although Valentine was very strong and handsome when he fought just now, a large part of the reason was that his Origin Stone skills were "vital".
The special spell of "vitality" determines that Valentine's upper limit of power is higher than almost all Source Stone skills.
When he just fought, Valentin didn't feel the feeling of "controlling the life and death of all things".
He can create a forest, but according to Jiao Zhengyu's description, when his Origin Stone skills are brought to their fullest, they can affect the entire continent of Terra.
Whether it is crustal movement, ocean currents, air pressure, or the composition of human civilization and society, he can affect the control.
Therefore, the enhancement of my Origin Stone skills just now is actually quite limited.
"what do you want?"
Jiao Zhengyu had roughly guessed what this little dragon man wanted.
"I want you to protect Raphael and Xing Yihuang from danger, pain, hatred and worry after my death."
"It's just a hundred years. It's very short for a 'god-level creature' like you, right?"
Valentine smiled.
His smile is bright.
"What if they fall in love with someone else?"
Jiao Zhengyu hits the nail on the head.
She stared into Valentine's eyes, waiting for the other person's answer.
"As long as they truly love each other and as long as they feel happy, so what?"
Valentine's smile did not fade.
"I'm already dead, why should I care about their future lives?"
"So, I want to remember their time before death. Please do this to me."
"But you also reminded me."
He pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
"Let me make one more request."
"After I die, completely erase me from this world."
"No one remembers the person 'Valentin', Raphael, Xing Yihuang, Razer, Franka..."
"Even this body's biological parents and my enemies have forgotten that I exist."
The boy's expression was serious.
"In this case, Raphael and Xing Yihuang won't be sad, right? Because I never showed up."
"They will truly live out their lives peacefully and happily."
