Chapter 453 You Call, I Come
The mermaids further away sensed something was wrong and turned to swim away.
[Health 88%...81%...]
They changed their target.
Yesterday it was just monsters, today it's the double whammy of the sea and monsters.
Yu'an is unlikely to hold on, and Zuo Xiuyan is worried.
Yu'an showed subtle changes this morning, which is a good sign; she is trying to protect her own interests.
But what happened next was like a pile of dirt that the child had painstakingly built up, which hadn't even taken a concrete shape or been stable yet, being kicked apart by someone.
The effects of yesterday's psychological therapy for Xiong Yu'an, the sense of security established, and the psychological boundaries established have almost regressed to their starting point.
Even more broken.
This will plunge Xiong Yu'an into an even more depressed state, making him even more vulnerable than before before the emergence of new boundaries and power.
Zuo Xiuyan readjusted the flames and charged forward. The increased mental power also provided stronger momentum. Like a small boat in a storm, he finally moved forward again.
But the good times didn't last long; after moving a short distance, they were swept back to their original position by the waves.
Zuo Xiuyan once again burned his spiritual power and rushed forward to resist the enormous force, but was pushed even further away in the blink of an eye.
After several attempts, she was once again swept away by the waves, her brows furrowed.
She was running out of oxygen and was now trapped in the water, unable to get up; the place had become a floating prison.
The force of the seawater grew increasingly fierce, even cutting her skin like a knife.
[Health 75%...71%...]
The loss of health felt like a death knell, and Zuo Xiuyan's heart tightened, but he immediately forced himself to calm down.
If one's mental strength is at a higher level, the confrontation will not be so difficult.
She could clearly feel that it was just a little bit short.
Upgrading one's mental strength is not easy. The amount obtained from killing monsters in "Yesterday" and the amount of Sorrow Essence consumed were pitifully small.
How can we improve and suppress this sea?
Zuo Xiuyan was pondering when he was suddenly startled.
wrong.
One should not place all their hopes for a solution on mental strength or the flames provided by the level itself.
The sea is Xiong Yu'an's spiritual world.
This is part of Xiong Yu'an.
I... know what to do.
Zuo Xiuyan closed his eyes, slowly exhaled the remaining air from his lungs, and the flames on his body gradually subsided.
She was like a candle that had been extinguished, giving up all resistance.
The roaring seawater swept her up, almost trying to crush, destroy, and turn her into part of the sea.
Zuo Xiuyan, however, appeared quiet and calm, as if nothing had happened around him.
She is feeling it.
Feel the sea.
Zuo Xiuyan slowly raised his hands, as if to scoop up the seawater.
I can tell you're very sad.
A sorrow with nowhere to go.
They remain silent, rarely seen, yet they churn and roar within you, never finding peace.
But they have always existed.
It should exist.
They are always with you.
Zuo Xiuyan's actions demonstrate his indifference and fearlessness in the face of grief.
I felt it, and I can handle it.
They are not bad, nor will they harm me.
They are not wrong; sadness is simply sadness.
They can come and go freely with me.
Zuo Xiuyan is acting as a container, a stable container, simply here, without actively attacking, and without collapsing.
There is no control, no expectations, only complete acceptance.
Zuo Xiuyan wanted to hug him, as if embracing a child crying in a deserted corner.
The surging seawater and rampant energy rushed into her body, crashing and raging.
Sadness wanted to destroy all resistance and obstacles, but found that there was nothing there.
All that exists is a vast plain.
The sea of sorrow surged forth, but its momentum gradually dissipated, and the waves seemed lost as they slowly receded.
The seawater comes from somewhere and returns to the same place, just as it was in its original state, flowing slowly across the plains and then back into the sea.
……
Xiong Yu'an, who was thrown into the sea, was terrified and suffocated by the cold.
Here we go again... Why are we back in the domain?
Lying on her back, she saw the familiar purple light again in the darkness. She tried to move, but couldn't even lift a finger.
She tried to cover her entire body with flames, but the pain from the scythe cutting through her easily destroyed her last remaining sense of security.
Those distorted faces crowded around her again, layer upon layer, and a fear even deeper than yesterday engulfed her.
Why doesn't it work?
Xiong Yu'an felt like a fish on the chopping block.
She tried her best, but...
Why can't I protect myself?
Negative emotions and negative memories form an iron chain; picking up one link pulls up the others as well.
All the scenes from the past that made her feel powerless flashed through her mind.
I'll only lose what I have.
Why is it so useless?
Her body was like a torn book, her mind a chaotic mess, as if everything was shrouded in purple mist and entangled in red silk.
Xiong Yu'an wanted to ask for help, and people she knew came to mind.
Mom, Dad, teacher, classmate, friend, or even a stranger...
Nobody... nobody's here.
She didn't even look forward to their arrival.
Xiong Yu'an seemed to have lost her sense of pain, her body as still as a wooden sculpture. Unseen by her, purple had already spread across her fingers.
呲!
In her confusion, she vaguely felt as if she had forgotten something.
She thought and thought, and a blurry face gradually became clear in her mind.
I think I have a family...?
Xiong Yu'an became much more sober.
Yes, sister.
And her too.
She said, she said, that if I call her, she will come to my side.
Filled with uncontrollable anticipation and nervousness, Xiong Yu'an cried out in his heart...
elder sister!
One second, two seconds... Apart from the rushing sound of the sea and the roar of the monster, it was still the same darkness and deathly silence. This place seemed to be a forgotten corner.
Can't find it? Or maybe you didn't look for it.
Xiong Yu'an felt her heart sink. An even stronger sense of disappointment than before made her heart ache. Was this also a lie?
Why do I take things that others say casually to heart?
Yes, no one will come, we shouldn't expect it, and we shouldn't bother anyone.
She closed her eyes and suddenly felt like she was going to fall asleep as the seawater sank.
Just then...
Xiong Yu'an felt warm support on his back and in the back of his knees.
She suddenly opened her eyes.
The familiar figure she had been longing for appeared beside her and caught her with his arms.
"I'm here."
The surrounding seawater receded like the tide, and the older sister stood upright, holding her drowning daughter firmly and steadily as she pulled her out of the water.
The other party's burning passion, just like yesterday, illuminated the darkness and even turned Xiong Yu'an's eyes golden.
Her previously panicked and terrified heart calmed down.
The waves that rolled up on the sea receded and gradually dissipated, leaving only gentle ripples on Zuo Xiuyan's waist.
