"The swallows fly away, but they will come back. The willows wither, but they will turn green again. The peach blossoms fade, but they will bloom again. But you who are wise, tell me, why do our days... never come back?"

Above the endless starry sky, a beautiful woman sat by the window and whispered softly. Her voice was slow, filled with sorrow and sadness. Her lavender pupils were scattered, and black sunglasses hung on her forehead. She looked lonely as if she was lost in some memories.

An ethereal voice sounded from inside the house, and it was unknown who the voice was directed to.

"...Silver Wolf, tell me...if I had been braver at the beginning, would everything be different?" Kafka looked at the stars outside the window and spoke, stretching out her hand and pinching the air, not knowing whether she wanted to grab the stars or something.

"…have no idea."

A second voice was heard in the silent room. A figure was slumped on the soft sofa. He was wearing a coat and a hat, with two rabbit ears on his head. In his hand was a game screen with 'game over' written on it.

Logically, she shouldn't lose, but she still lost. Silver Wolf held the game console, but her mind was not on it. She could feel the lonely figure sitting by the window, but she didn't know what to say.

Dignified, intellectual, mature, elegant and a little bit scheming, this is the Kafka she is familiar with.

She didn't know Kafka's past or her future, so as a friend, all she could do was listen to her troubles.

"Fan Mu, where are you? I have searched the entire galaxy, but you broke your promise..." As she spoke, a tear silently slid down the corner of Kafka's eye, and her tears were crystal clear, reflecting the endless starry sky outside the window!

This time, Silver Wolf didn't say anything, but just quietly looked at the game screen in his hand that had gone out.

My thoughts flowed back to the day when the dream began!

Pteruges-V's New Babylon

It was a rainy day, the weather was gloomy. It was already midnight, and there was a drizzle in the sky. The strong wind blew the fallen leaves and dust into the air. The streets were full of people in a hurry!

However, in a dark alley, a young man looked at everything with confused eyes, sizing up the city, and then pinched his cheek hard, as if something unbelievable had happened!

"Where am I?" The young man covered his forehead. Fine purple lines were faintly extending from his neck to his face, flashing purple light, and his face showed pain.

After a long time, the purple lines gradually faded, the pain subsided, and the expression on Fan Mu's face finally relaxed. He leaned against the wall and gasped, "Oh, right, I remember!"

He squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky with a tired look on his face. He subconsciously put his hands on his head to protect his sunglasses, letting the raindrops hit his cheeks, as if this could relieve his fatigue.

Soon, the rain got heavier and heavier, and the sound of the rain rang in his ears. Fan Mu still stood there. The rain soaked his clothes, outlining his not-so-strong figure. His gray hair was completely soaked and water drops were constantly dripping down!

I've been standing there for too long, even the system can't stand it anymore!

"Host, if you don't want to lie alone and sick in bed all day, leave now!"

“…Hmm.” Fan Mu closed his squinting eyes, the rain slid down his eyelids, he took a deep breath, slowly exhaled the foul air, opened his eyes again, there was some different emotion in his eyes!

Loosening the hand that was holding the sunglasses, he began to walk slowly out of the alley. His steps were not fast but very gentle, like an old man, confused but determined!

Walking on the street, there were no pedestrians on both sides of the road. For some reason, most of the shops were closed. At a glance, only one or two were half-closed.

The world was grey and the street lamps were flickering with dim light.

"Host, this time the target is in the alley on the left ahead!"

"Yeah." Fan Mu responded softly and looked in the direction where the system sound came from. It was not far away. From his position, he could vaguely see a corner of a trash can in the alley.

I walked forward and arrived at the entrance of the alley. The alley was not deep and I could see the end at a glance. What caught my eye was a row of gray trash cans, about four or five, filling the entire alley!

Garbage bags filled the corners and the ground was covered with garbage. Except for the outermost trash can that gave off a foul odor, the other trash cans inside were brand new and clean!

Nothing else.

"Strange, am I malfunctioning? Where are the people?" The system's questioning voice sounded in his mind. Fan Mu did not respond, but moved his gaze to the innermost trash can and walked over!

Da da!

The sound of footsteps echoed in the narrow alley, but was drowned out by the sound of heavy rain.

Fan Mu stopped and walked to the deepest part of the alley. He stretched out his hand and slowly opened the lid of a small trash can!

crunch.

"Yes, it's her, the host! The target this time!" The system's excited voice sounded in his mind, but he seemed not to hear it, and stared quietly at a half-grown girl in the trash can.

The eyes that had been calm before suddenly flashed at this moment.

At this moment, time seemed to slow down.

The trash can was well made and could completely block out the sunlight when covered. The girl who was planning to take a nap was awakened by a creaking sound and she realized that someone had opened her "bedroom".

When she opened her eyes, some dazzling light mixed with rain came in, forcing her to squint unconsciously.

In fact, there is not much light in the alley, but compared to the absolute dimness in the trash can, it is still a little dazzling after getting used to it.

The lavender eyes stared blankly at Fan Mu, and what caught her eye was his gray hair. The girl curled up with her body in a huddle, her hair disheveled, her lavender dress wrinkled and covered in dust, like shoe prints, and there was a wound at the corner of her mouth, which looked like it had just been injured.

The rain hit her exposed skin, which seemed a little cold, and her thin body was shaking constantly.

"Come out." Seeing this scene, Fan Mu subconsciously pressed down the trash lid, his voice indifferent but mixed with tenderness.

Another poor kid.

The girl still didn't say a word, but just obediently and quietly crawled out of the trash can. After coming out, she stood aside obediently waiting for her fate, just like an obedient puppy!

"Follow me." Fan Mu looked at her and said, then took a few tentative steps out!

This time the girl did not listen. Realizing that the other party did not follow him, Fan Mu turned around and walked back. He walked in front of the girl and raised his hand. Looking at the tall figure in front of her, the girl subconsciously took a step back and closed her eyes.

The expected pain did not come, but something fell on her body.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a coat, an overly large and gorgeous coat draped over her body. The corner of the coat fell into the puddle on the ground, stained with water.

Seeing the coat, the girl looked at Fan Mu in front of her with indifferent eyes. Her eyes stared at him without blinking without any emotion, as if asking "Why?"

"Follow me." Fan Mu did not answer, but said again, then walked out, walked to the entrance of the alley, and watched her quietly waiting.

This time after a moment's hesitation, the girl followed.

The two of them walked out of the alley, getting wet in the heavy rain. They didn't feel anything was wrong and walked quietly. They didn't try to avoid puddles when they encountered them. Their steps were neither hurried nor slow. The whole world was silent except for the sound of rain, as if there were only two of them left in the world!

The heavy rain hit the coat that the girl was wearing. In the rain, the rain helped the girl to tidy up her hair, making her look less disheveled!

Just like this, the two of them met in a confused manner, and walked together in a confused manner. From meeting to knowing each other and then to walking together, everything happened very quickly, and everything seemed to be a natural result.
