Xiaonan ~

She is a good child...yes, she is a good child in the traditional sense. She is good at studying, polite, and looks cute.

She is what your parents call "other people's children"!

Don’t think too much, but, without a turning point, there is no so much darkness hidden in her heart... She is the kind of person who is destined to be the name of a top student in elementary, junior high school, high school and even in her entire life, and uses a beautiful and intellectual image to make everyone envious or jealous.

But!!!Okay, there are still ~

All of this seemed to have changed that day

In her memory, it was on an afternoon when the sun was not very bright, and she walked into the library as usual.

She prefers cats to read something in the library than to run around the yard and bully boys of the same age.

This is indeed somewhat inconsistent with the nature of a teenage child, but...this is what she is.

That afternoon, she sat in the seat she often sat... To be honest, there were basically no people visiting this library, so Xiao Nan became a regular visitor here instead... Of course, he was also loved by the director here.

I continued to say that afternoon~ she came to the library, and opposite her usual seat was a very ordinary old man.

He is very ordinary, and at first glance, he looks like every 60-year-old man who can be seen everywhere in the corner of the street, in the vegetable market, and makes people feel no vigilance.

This old man... is reading a book.

Xiaonan sat politely across from him. In fact, according to her usual personality of like to watch something quietly alone, she should have changed seats, but that day, she sat there abnormally and very ordinary.

"Little sister... do you want to read this book?" The old man was so abrupt that he just omitted the greeting and said to her.

But at the same time, Xiao Nan did not feel any warning, as if she was already very familiar with the other party, and she should use this method to talk to each other.

"What book is it?" Xiaonan asked politely.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "A fairy tale~."

Xiaonan's answer was still very polite: "Ah...well...I should have seen it."

She didn't say that she didn't want to watch it at all because it was very rude, and she had indeed left the stage of watching fairy tales a long time ago.

"This is not the fairy tale books you have read, it is a little different... I think you should like it." The old man said, pushing the book towards Xiaonan.

Xiaonan was stunned when she looked at the fairy tale book in front of her with simple printing, with no cover even pictures.

"Well... maybe, it's really interesting!" She thought so, and she didn't even know why she thought so. Anyway, she had such an idea in her mind.

The old man smiled and said, "Oh, then let's make a deal, I'll show you this book, but...every time you read a story, you will tear it off~How about it."

trade??

Tear the book??

What's this?

How false it is to say the word "transaction" in this situation! Besides, what a painful requirement for "tearing a book".

But in such a conversation where others have big problems after listening to it, Xiao Nan did not have any doubts.

"Okay!" she agreed.

Tear the book??Hmm—it's whatever

She didn't think so much now, because her curiosity was getting stronger and stronger, and a voice was urging her to

"Read——",

"Read it———"

"Read it quickly!!!"

Xiaonan opened the closed page and started reading.

One by one, the stories that completely subverted her understanding of the past fairy tales... novel, terrible, and very interesting!

She fell into it without realizing it, reading with relish, and didn't even notice when the old man opposite had left, nor did she notice that the world around her seemed to become blurred, nor did she notice that the images in the fairy tales began to condense and form in her mind and began to move.

After reading the first story, she tore off the first page of paper by chance.

She didn't know why she did this, but this idea naturally appeared in her mind.

She didn't care too much about this completely false behavior, because she had to read the next story...

These stories are so interesting.

She did not notice that the torn pages began to burn out of thin air, nor did she notice the occasional deafening roars and miserable screams outside the library.

She couldn't notice anything, how long she had been reading... she couldn't even notice whether she was reading... she was just sitting here, like a puppet.

Until someone moved the book out of her sight!

Everyone knows the next story...

All of this turned into nothingness under a mantra that no one could understand.

The tea-mouthed birds and the laughing birds didn't even notice when the monster they were fighting with disappeared.

But, they all realized something immediately...

"After...success?"

Everyone looked blankly in the direction of the library. In the sky, the distorted sky seemed to have changed. A force dissipated, and the light that had not changed since the beginning began to become fresh again... Time was free from the constraints. Everyone looked into the distance, through the dim sunset, the vague and huge abnormality in the distance reflected the detectors beginning to see clearly, and the sound of the rotation of the machine also entered their ears again.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

People laughed, and each sound touched the scarred body, causing heart-wrenching pain. Some people couldn't even laugh at all, such as Fatty, who collapsed on the ground, his flesh all over his body was as dry as a cantaloupe with water, and the red hair was already lying on the ground motionless, his face full of broken expressions of crying or laughing, and his body was covered with bullet holes that seemed to be shot out by the gun in his hand.

But...one thing can be confirmed by everyone...

I survived!!!

......

......

The door of the library was pushed open a little more again, and a thin figure with a hunched back walked out of the door.

And behind him was a little girl wearing glasses and wearing pairs of ponytails.

She stared blankly at the mirror in front of her, at the buildings that were destroyed at some time outside the streets, at the thick smoke floating in the distance, at the dim night in the sky, and at this town that had become unrecognizable... A trace of completely indescribable emotions flashed in her eyes.

Her legs became weak and she collapsed on the ground.

Finally...she burst into tears.
