"Wow——!"

High in the air above the borders of the world, a series of screams were left behind.

The sound of the wind whistling past her ears, feeling the weightlessness that swept through her body, Lily could only hug the boy's body tightly, hoping to get some sense of security.

Fortunately, this process did not last long, and soon the summer solstice took her to her destination.

...... The so-called planC is to choose another route, climb a vertical wall hundreds of meters high, and climb directly over it.

Xia Solstice omitted these troublesome steps and flew directly to the top of the wall with the girl.

Although it was easy and quick, the process in the middle made Lily, who was afraid of heights, extremely pale, and she had not been able to slow down until now.

So......

Xia Zhi lowered his head and looked at the petite girl who was holding his waist

Can you please let me go?

"Yes, it's going to fall, right?"

Lily stammered, not daring to look behind her, and refusing to let go of the hand holding the boy.

Although she is now more than two meters away from the cliff behind her, she still seems to feel that it is not safe enough, and wants to shrink her body into Xia Zhi's arms as much as possible.

...... If it weren't for knowing that she was really very timid, Xia Zhi would have wondered if she was deliberately taking advantage of herself.

"You've climbed a mountain before, haven't you?" asked Xia Zhi.

Obviously, I told you that the top of the mountain I climbed before was about the same as now, not to mention that I had already experienced it once, why didn't 123 see her climb like this at that time?

"It's not the same feeling!"

Lily retorted.

It was very high at the time, but it didn't have a direct vertical drop like this. The visual impact is completely two-dimensional, right?

"Didn't you try your hand at hang gliding yesterday?" Xia Zhi remembered this and asked.

"Actually, when I was standing at the take-off point, I voluntarily gave up. "

It's quite self-aware.

...... Forget it, she can hold it if she wants, after all, the wind is quite strong above.

Xia Zhi thought to himself and reminded: "Pay attention, you are so small, you will be blown away by the wind if you are not careful." "

"Don't scare me!"

Lily grumbled. After such a beating, the tension in her heart eased a lot, and after a moment of hesitation, she finally tried to let go of the hand holding the young man, tried to resist the desire to look behind, and raised her head to look ahead

...... This is the place she had dreamed of in the past, where she could look beyond Shikoku and seek the truth.

However, as far as the eye can see, there is only the sky and the sea that stretches into the distance, and the oncoming sea breeze carries a salty smell, which looks calm and beautiful.

Nothing else.

...... Stardust, Bartick, the destroyed world, none of these things seem to exist. Just take a few steps forward if she wants, and it seems that she (Abee) can go beyond Shikoku on the other side of the wall.

In the past, Lily was of course very happy to see such a scene, after all, it proved that her previous suspicions were correct.

However, at this moment, she knew that the picture in front of her was undoubtedly in conflict with the truth that the young man had told, and that she had confirmed some of it to a certain extent

Lily looked back at the boy in confusion

"Go up and touch it?" Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly and reminded her.

"Touch?"

Lily looked at him suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and then tried to reach forward

Then, she felt like she had touched a side...... I don't know what texture to use to describe it, invisible walls.

Neither hard nor soft, not substantial, but it actually blocked her hand, as if to refuse her to continue......

"That's what it is...... The borders of the world?" the girl murmured softly to herself.

"Strictly speaking, it doesn't count. Xia Solstice replied.

The real boundary is not an entity, nor can it be directly touched by humans in such a simple way.

What the girl felt was just a sacred tree that was deliberately set up to prevent people inside from entering the outside world, as an enchantment to isolate internal things on the physical level.

As for the way to get through this barrier...... Of course, this cannot be done by ordinary means.

So......

"Remember to hold my hand tightly and never let go. "

He gently took the girl's hand and said to her. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Reacting to what the boy was going to do, Lily took a deep breath, nodded slightly, clenched his palm, and followed his footsteps and took a few steps forward.

“......"

At a certain moment, it was as if I had suddenly woken up from a dream, and the scene in front of me changed.

If I had to use human language to describe what the girl was seeing at the moment, it would be...... Nothing.

All "existence" is transformed into "nothingness" in this moment

There is neither light nor darkness

There is no concept of space, and there is no passage of time

All the logic and rules that maintain the operation of the universe and the world, all the concepts that are familiar to human beings, do not exist here.

Even the self cannot be perceived

The only thing Lily could feel at the moment was the warmth coming from the palm of the hand holding her.

She finally knew why the boy said that there was nothing outside.

Quiet, dark, cold...... No, what the girl felt was something countless times deeper than these

Because time does not exist, it is naturally impossible to judge the passage of time. There is no beginning and no end. The boundaries of the moment and eternity are confused here, united into a concept called "nothingness", making it impossible to judge how long one has been here

Is it a second, or 10,000 years, or ......? Both?

A wave of fear rose in the girl's heart, and she subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to speak, but found that she couldn't make a sound.

Obviously, he was outside the world that should be countless times more "expansive" than Shikoku, but he felt a suffocating feeling like claustrophobia, unable to breathe.

She could only clench the hand holding her in vain, trying to grasp as fast as possible the last thing that could prove her existence

As if sensing that her psychological endurance had reached its limit, a burst of force came from her hand, pulling her away from this nothingness

In the next moment, all the "silence" and "darkness" faded, and the warm sunshine and cool sea breeze reoccupied her perception

The scene outside the wall then returned to its original calm sky, bounded by the invisible wall it had just touched, and the outside scene was cut off from the inside as if by magic.

"Whew...... Ha...... Ha ......"

Lily sat on her knees on the rough ground at the top of the wall, gasping for air, feeling the slightly cold fresh air rush into her lungs, giving her a feeling of being reborn

After a long time, she regained her strength, but the hand holding the young man was still tightly gripped, and she was unwilling to let go

Xia Zhi had no intention of breaking free, looked down at her and asked, "How do you feel?"

"It's a novelty......"

Lily gasped slightly, her face was still pale, and she shook her head and replied, "However, I definitely don't want to do it again." "

As she spoke, she glanced at the vast world beyond the wall in front of her, a lingering hint of fear in her eyes...... Compared to the towering cliff behind her, she found that she seemed to be more afraid of the "sky" outside. "

Fortunately, the boy was still by her side, which brought some security to her heart.

"Anyway, after finding the truth, the goal of the Brave Department has been achieved, right?" asked Xia Zhi.

Lily was slightly stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully...... It seems to be true.

The Brave Department was created to explore the secrets beyond the walls by itself, and now that the original goal has been achieved, it seems that it is useless?

"What's next......" a hesitant look appeared on her face.

Xia Zhi opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly paused slightly, raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance

"What's wrong?" Lily asked, confused, sensing the boy's reaction.

“...... No. "

Xia Zhi withdrew his gaze and shook his head

"Let's go. "

He breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed the girl's little hand, and smiled again

“...... Let's go home. "

......。
