I don’t know how long it took, but the dark night sky was torn apart by a faint light, and the light of apocalypse tore through the black film and illuminated the world again.

At the end of the season, raise your head and look towards the glimmer of light, and the world will be reborn.

White snowflakes fell from the sky, and heavy white snow covered the whole world.

The cold wind wanders around the world like a child full of evil intentions, wanting to wipe out all warmth and leave only loneliness and coldness.

The harvest and fruits of autumn are long gone, and even life is hard to find in this lonely world.

At the end of the season, I returned to this world through the light, but found that it was no longer the familiar scene. There was only the black ball hanging in the sky competing with the sun and growing larger.

Fortunately, he is still that crow, the crow with white eye circles, scarlet pupils, and thick fur. At least in the short term, the coming of winter will not affect him.

……

Under the cover of goose-white snow, in the slightly bulging mound of earth, a figure pushed aside the snow and popped his head out.

The burnt hair had long since grown back, but it was completely different from the white hair before. The black hair covered his body, and it even looked a little burnt if you looked closely. He lowered his head, took a bite of the snow, and enjoyed it greedily.

The dark pupils were like a horizontal line, without a trace of light or spirit, as if they had been burned out in the fire long ago, or perhaps even earlier, leaving behind only a lifeless gaze and a numb consciousness.

A tall figure came from the distance, with light steps, stepping lightly on the snowflakes. He looked like a tourist from afar, not dressed warmly in this cold winter, and his hat was also covered with snowflakes. He seemed a little surprised, and slightly changed his original walking route, and came in front of Yuan Jin.

The dark goat didn't waver at all, as if it didn't sense anything and just enjoyed the snow. The traveler stopped in front of him, squatted down, and sank his legs into the snow. He adjusted his collar, shook off the accumulated snow on his body, took off his hat, and shook it gently.

He stared at Yuan Jin as if he was looking at some rare treasure, but shook his head after a moment.

"Numbness and despair have infected his heart. He could have been a good seedling, what a pity." The tourist said softly, feeling very sorry, but looking at the smile on his lips, it seemed that was not the case.

He put his hat back on, his emerald green eyes meeting the goat's, as if he had already read the other's thoughts. He spoke softly, "You are different from them. I have nothing to give you."

The tourist stood up again, turned around and left, walking towards the direction he had already decided on, without looking back.

Like, it had never happened.

……

Under the clear sky, clusters of clouds gathered together like waves, flowing in the air with the wind. After an unknown period of time, they filled the entire sky. The shining sun was obscured by dark clouds, leaving only dim light shining through the clouds to illuminate the world, adding a touch of loneliness to the lonely winter.

In the swamp under the ancient tree of life, heavy snow covered it, forming a thick layer of ice. Under the ice, there were still fish swimming in the water, but compared with other seasons, the lively life was much less. The fish that could be seen everywhere on weekdays became very rare at this moment.

The water spirit in the lake swam around confused and at a loss, as if it had forgotten something very important, and could only continue to wander around following the guidance of its heart.

After a moment, she still couldn't remember what she had forgotten. She swam upwards and came under the ice. She looked at the solidified ice. A crack appeared from the ice. As if under the control of an invisible hand, the broken trace turned into a circle and was split from the ice.

Shui Ling passed through the cave and floated to the surface, but before she could get to the surface, a line with a hook on it fell from the cave, hitting her head and passing through her body, bringing her a strange feeling.

Shui Ling looked upwards, and saw the figure wearing a top hat under the ripples of the water. Her confused eyes gradually brightened, and she seemed to understand something, as if she had found something she had forgotten.

She passed through the cave, leaped onto the ice, and condensed her past form.

A blue, transparent phantom appeared on the ice, its delicate features revealing confusion and bewilderment. The young man sitting opposite seemed startled by her, and the bamboo pole in his hand trembled. He raised his eyes and looked at the girl, as if a little surprised. After a moment, he asked softly in a gentle voice, "Who led you here?"

The young man's words were like a key that opened the box that had been sealed in the corner for a long time. Fragments stored deep in her memory floated before her eyes through the deep ocean.

After an unknown amount of time, the illusory, transparent figure lowered its head and asked, "Order?"

"Hmm? Ling?"

The young man took off his hat, and his furry fox ears trembled slightly, as if he was thinking.

"Oh...it's him."

The young man seemed to remember something and smiled again.

"Didn't you get the answer you wanted?"

"Why are you still confused here?"

The girl named Ji Ruoli tilted her head in confusion, as if she had not yet woken up from a long dream. After a long period of confusion, a ray of light flickered in her pupils, and countless fragments came together again. She looked at the young man with furry ears and nodded, "That's right."

As the young woman gradually came back to her senses, the young man smiled even more: "Your journey has been enough."

"The answer you were looking for has been found. The rest of the road is not for you to take."

"Leave. Don't be restricted by these things anymore."

"You should break the chains that bind you and roam freely in this world."

Before he finished speaking, water droplets fell from the sky and hit the ice surface. The illusory figure in front of the young man had long disappeared. Only a pool of lake water fell on the ice surface, condensed rapidly, and covered the snowflakes again to form a new layer of ice.

The young man put on his top hat, pulled up the fishing line, straightened his clothes that were stained with snowflakes, and set off again.

Before the heavy snow covered the ground again, a huge bird fell from the sky and landed beside the lake. Its scarlet pupils kept moving, as if it sensed something.

"Ji Ruoli?"

……

In the deep forest that was once rich in fruits, the emerald green leaves have long disappeared, leaving only bare branches. Snowflakes fall from the sky, covering the tree trunks and bending the branches as if they will break at any moment.

Under the big tree, a figure leaned against the trunk with her head lowered. White snow fell on her head, covering her black hair. The cold wind blew from afar, scraping her body like a knife, but she did not react at all.

She hugged her knees and curled up together. The safe haven she once had was long gone, and all that was left was her broken life. She murmured softly, as if calling for something.
