Mr. Melancholy Wants To Live A Peaceful Life

CHAPTER 87

Yu Hua was dreaming. In his dream, someone was saying to him, "You can ignore the lives of this person and this dog and kill me again. You can also enter this little world for the sake of rescuing them. Everything will return to the very beginning. You'll be at everyone's mercy."

The Yu Hua in the dream was very cold, as cold as a piece of ice. He heard "himself" haughtily say, "According to time law, the master of the law also has to return to the very beginning and be in the middle of things. It's unavoidable."

"I know, so my main form is already inside waiting for you," said the man wearing black clothes and holding an umbrella who seemed to come from an earlier time.

"You've always liked doing superfluous things," Yu Hua said, walking directly towards a twisted space.

When Yu Hua was about to step into the space, the man in black suddenly said, "So you would willingly return to a time when you had nothing, all for the sake of rescuing a dog and a child. Are you telling me you don't know that in this little world, everything is fake, and only death is an unalterable truth?"

The Yu Hua in the dream paused and smiled scornfully. "What is there worth saving about a damn dog and a strange child? I only want to tell you that if you come back again, I'll kill you again."

He turned his head to look at the man in black. Written in his eyes was, "The disparity between you and me can't be made up by trying again."

Faced with Yu Hua's taunt, the man in black smiled faintly. "Arrogant, despotic, controlling... You're still you. In all these years, you haven't changed. Since you're so self-confident, be sure not to undo your seal. After all, given the current situation, if you undo the seal, then..."

Then what? Yu Hua woke with a start. He tapped on his own head. Why couldn't the dream continue a little longer? The self in the dream was completely different from the self in his memories. Yu Hua was a rather idealistic university graduate. He had always been class monitor in high school, on good terms with his grade. Throughout university, he had been president of the student union, and the year he had graduated, he had tested to become a teacher in underdeveloped areas, wanting to go to remote locations to teach.

His disposition was good. He was friendly with his fellow students and did what he could to help them and his teachers, and he regularly organized activities for his class. He would never treat anyone coldly. But the self in the dream was like the man in black clothes had said—arrogant, cold, unfeeling. Everything must be backwards in dreams. He could never become like that. Perhaps the dream had been caused by what he had thought about during the day.

After all, he was currently deeply sunk in a survival game. He didn't know when he could return to his original world. He got up off the grass and patted the dog by his feet. The dog was a husky. It was sleeping soundly, hugging a little boy. When Yu Hua patted it awake, it still looked groggy. It rubbed its head against the little boy's neck. This dog and the little boy Liu Junjun had come to this strange world along with him. Yu Hua had instinctively thought that he had a duty to look after them and had done everything he could to help them.

Right now, they had to sleep out in the open, gathering grass from the surroundings to cover up their scents. The nights were cold, and the child wasn't as resistant to it as an adult. Luckily Junjun had brought a dog. The husky's fur was lush. It was a natural large-scale hand warmer. Junjun went to sleep hugging the dog every night, and he slept better than the others.

"I told you to keep watch at night. How come you were sleeping more soundly that I was?" Yu Hua said, poking the dog's head.

The husky opened its eyes blearily. The instant in saw Yu Hua, its blue eyes filled with fear. It hid behind Junjun with a swoosh, tail tucked tightly between its legs, as though Junjun's body could shield its large form. Since meeting on this level, this dog had been mortally afraid of him. Yu Hua remembered that he had always gotten along pretty well with small animals. He hadn't expected that to this rather good-looking husky, he would appear so terrifying. This made Yu Hua feel somewhat defeated.
