Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen Going to the Fantasy World

"here it is……" It's Wat's room.Although it was dark with the lights off, it was unmistakable.Stay in the position you fell asleep, leaning against the side of the bed. Gen rushed towards Lu Chuan, grabbing the hem of the cloak with both hands. "Lu Chuan, where are you from? Where did you go before? What did you do?" Lu Chuan smiled sadly, propped his cane beside Gen, and bent his knees to squat down. "It's a long story." He said while taking Wat's hand away from the cloak, "So let's make a long story short. I'll save you. Because I owe you a favor."

"You owe me a favor? Come and save me? Where did you start?" "Try taking a deep breath." Ashikawa raised his head slightly.The graceful nose line glows, appearing in the gloom. "Smells gas?" Gen took a few breaths.Really, it stinks. "Your mother unscrewed the gas cock." More than surprised, fear ran straight from the toes to the top of the head. "She wants to die with you. As long as there is no explosion accident, city gas can't kill people. She may not know this." "Yes, we have to stop it..." Ashi Chuan pressed Wataru's shoulder who was about to stand up, and stopped Wataru.

"It's too late. Listen to me now." Lu Chuan raised his hand and touched his neck.There are two pendant-like things hanging on top of each other.He took off one of them and handed it to Gen. A small silver-white metal plate is attached to the black leather strap.Very light and beautiful. "This is the 'Travel Permit'." As Lu Chuan said, he asked Gen to hold the metal plate. "With it, you can travel to the 'illusion world' at will. Just go to the gatekeeper and show it, and he will prepare equipment for you .like this--" Ashikawa stretched out his hands, showing off his attire.

"——'Fantasy Realm'?" Ashikawa nodded. "You should recover your memory, so you understand? You have been there once. There is a door in front of the suspended part of the stairs in that ghost building. At this moment, the gatekeeper is waiting for you. However, it is wrong to make him wait too long. No, you have to go before the dawn star shines." "Fantasy World." A mysterious place that reflects the world of "Saga 2" as it is. "That's not illusory..." Lu Chuan smiled at Gen's muttering. "Yeah, it's not illusory. The 'Fantasy World' is real. That's where I come from right now. Originally I started traveling, but I saw 'The Realm of Reality' and saw your situation. It shouldn't be too much Mind your own business, but..."

Ashikawa bit his lip. "I said it just now, because I owe you a favor. Besides, you are quite similar to me, carrying the same things. So, I also want to give you a chance." "Chance?" Ashikawa stood up and lifted the cloak to his shoulders. "The 'Fantasy World' is a place created by human beings living in the real world with their imaginations. Therefore, it will exist forever. But the 'Required Door' that separates the two is only opened once every ten years. And, first of all, it has to be There is a place that is suitable as a passage to the "fantasy", and there is a need for someone with a strong desire nearby. He must risk his life to overcome all difficulties, try to change his destiny, and get back what has been lost. won't show up."

Ashikawa held his staff again. "A place suitable as a passage..." Gen repeated. "That's right. The stairs of the Dasong Building are just that." Ashikawa Langlang said, "The so-called stairs, even if they are not in that building, can easily become a passage to another world. The famous haunted house - the so-called haunted place of ghosts, there are many stairs." ? The staircase originally had that function. This kind of building passes through the space, and there is a way where there is no way." Gen was speechless, just looking up at Lu Chuan's dignified face.

"The stairs of the Dasong Building were built and dropped, and there was nowhere to go. So, in front of that hanging space, the power leading to the 'Phantom World' was gathered. I went there, and then, To Yubei appeared ..." "You—pray to change—destiny?" "That's right." Lu Chuan nodded deeply without any hesitation, "You know, right? What happened to my family?" Gen nods.Ashikawa's mother.His father killed his mother, his mother's lover, and Lu Chuan's younger sister, waiting for Lu Chuan to come home from school... "I want to change my destiny." Lu Chuan said calmly, without extra excitement, "So, I decided to go to the 'Fantasy World'."

He grabbed his cane and tucked it away under his cloak. "The 'Fantasy World' is very big, full of dangers and ghosts. However, as long as I can reach the 'Tower of Destiny', I will go." "'Tower of Destiny'..." "There lives the goddess who is in charge of the fate of mankind. Those who arrive can get their wish. I must find it. Then change fate. I will never give up." Lu Chuan's voice trembled slightly, showing emotion for the first time. "If—if I'm not strong enough to save my parents, I have to save my sister. I want to bring her back to the real world. Because she—she's really small."

Under the cloak, Lu Chuan clenched his hands tightly. "I want to go too, to the Tower of Destiny." Watanabe stood up, both hands going to shake Lu Chuan's hand, "Please, take me with you." "That won't work." Lu Chuan stepped back quietly, "You must find the way to the Tower of Destiny with your own strength. If you don't rely on your own strength to get there, the goddess will not appear. You can't rely on others." "That... that is... too difficult. Are we just children?" "This is changing fate, how can it be easy?"

In an instant, Lu Chuan regained his familiar look of contempt for others.A strange, long-lost feeling.Oh, this kid is the real Mizuru Ashikawa. "I have to go back." Lu Chuan took another step back, "Wen, if you make up your mind, go to ask for Yufei. If you give up because of fear, it doesn't matter. If you want Yufei, it will disappear until dawn. It will never appear again in front of you." The contours of Lu Chuan's body began to blur.A silver light from nowhere surrounded him. "However, in that case, your fate will be like this. Not only will it not change, but it may even worsen."

Think about it carefully——Lu Chuan left these words and disappeared without a trace. For a while, Gen knelt and stood motionless, staring at the space where Lu Chuan disappeared.At this time, something fell lightly at his feet. Pendant.It is a "passenger card".A silver metal plate as big as the nail of Wataru's little finger gleamed.This is because Gen's fingers loosened and slipped from his palm. Under Gen's gaze, the metal plate shone with colorful light for an instant, and the strong light made people raise their hands and cover their eyes. At this time, a thick voice from an unknown source called: "You have been chosen. Do not go astray." Gen picked up the pendant and stood up. The gas cocks in the kitchen were turned on.Turn off the gas cock and open the window leading to the balcony. sweltering night.The street was shrouded in a calm night atmosphere, but the sweat on his forehead had nothing to do with the temperature. Hang up the pendant and walk towards the gate.He stopped in front of his mother's bedroom, calling out to the half-open door in his heart: —Mom, I'm going out for a while.Wait for me, I will definitely be back. I want to change my destiny for you to see.I want my father to stop being like that, I want my mother to not have to bear that kind of criticism, and I want the woman named Rikako Tanaka to stop appearing in front of my father. Let our family of three live happily and harmoniously. change destiny.No, it's not so much a change, but rather a return of the improperly distorted and changed destiny to its original correct form. Coming to the street, Xia Ye ran towards Mr. Dasong's mansion in the middle of the night.The feet in sneakers lightly stepped on the asphalt road, and the pendant on his chest shook every time he took a step. Dasong Building appeared.I don't know if it is due to psychological effects, but the shadow tightly wrapped by the blue tarpaulin is full of unprecedented mystery. A gigantic signpost—a signpost to another world that only those in the know will understand. He lifted up the tarp where it used to be, and slid into it. It's bright inside.Like countless fireflies flying around, tiny light particles are dancing.These particles also stuck to Wat's body, and as soon as Wat raised his hand and stretched his legs, the surrounding light particles jumped up. At the end of the half-built staircase, a door appeared.The antique door is surrounded by white light.The light leaked out radially, making it almost impossible to look directly at. Gen stepped on the stairs, as if walking up step by step.He kept his eyes on the door, and as he walked, he naturally raised his hand and held the pendant. Standing in front of the door, the white light leaking from around the door became more intense.The seven-color light belt rotates counterclockwise inside.The pendant card in Gen's hand glowed with colorful light again, as if echoing it. The door opened slowly.Light came rushing in.Gen squinted his eyes, raised his jaw, stretched his hands, and his whole body was exposed to the light. Then, he stepped through the door.
