When Fangzheng opened his eyes again, it was already dusk.
"What a terrible dream."
Fangzheng held his forehead and sighed. He just had a dream where everyone had an argument. Keiichi planned to explore the Irijiang clinic alone, but was stopped by Reina and Shion on the way. Then … they inexplicably started killing each other.
To be honest, Fangzheng was very calm about the first half of the dream, but the later development made him stunned.
Both Li Nai and Shiyin had fallen in love with him?!
How is this possible?
Frankly speaking, Fangzheng was very, very surprised by this development.
Speaking of which, it was strange. As a standard harem of one man and many women, "When Cicadas Cry" had very little involvement in love. Perhaps it was because the setting was set in the 1980s, but both the men and women in the movie were quite conservative in their love. Of course, there were some harassment plots and dressing up, but this was different from the modern harem anime. It was more of a "prank" level.
And as the only male lead in the movie, Keiichi Maehara didn't confirm a relationship with any of the female leads. But this was different from those harem anime of the later era, where the men and women were ambiguous, where each of them secretly had feelings for each other, but the male lead didn't make a clear statement. In "When Cicadas Cry", both the male and female leads were at a very early stage of love. Only Sonozaki Miyin and Sonozaki Shiin more or less had a little concept of love, but it was only a one-sided love.
It could be said that compared to the female leads who scrambled to climb into the male lead's bed to express their feelings, the protagonists in "When Cicadas Cry" were a little too pure.
Because of this, Fangzheng actually didn't think about this at all. Indeed, Reina would always bring lunch for him every time she came. But Fangzheng knew that her style had always been like this. As for Shion … To be honest, although Fangzheng often discussed "that matter" with her, perhaps because Shion's description of Wushi's feelings in the story was too deep, Fangzheng never thought that he would be able to put a green hat on that miserable, unlucky guy's head.
This is a joke, right? We're in the spring, not Ono Academy. I'm not Brother Cheng, and I didn't abandon anyone. Why did we suddenly end up in blood?
Is this a joke?
Fangzheng couldn't help but tremble when he recalled the battle between Reunai and Shi Yin in his dream. Following that, Reunai chopped Shi Yin to death and smashed Guiichi's head into mush.
Yes, this is a dream … this must be a dream …
Knock, knock.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Hearing the knocking sound, Fangzheng immediately withdrew his thoughts.
"Come in."
With Fangzheng's response, the door opened with a creak. Following that, Fangzheng saw Rika Ancienthand walk in. She first forced a smile at Fangzheng before asking him a question.
"Sorry to disturb, Teacher. Are you free now?"
"Of course I'm free, but … why are you alone? Where are the others?"
"They've already disbanded and left."
"Ugh …"
Hearing Rika's answer, Fangzheng's expression slightly changed. This reminded him of the dream. If that dream was correct, Reina should be following Keiichi right now … Wait, could it be that it wasn't just a dream?
Thinking until here, Fangzheng suddenly felt uneasy. If it was really as the dream said. If that was the case, then he should leave immediately and stop the battle between both sides. But when Fangzheng had this thought, he once again felt that inexplicable yet omnipresent 'premonition'.
That was, if he really did that, things might reach a point of no return.
What's going on?
At this moment, Fangzheng couldn't help but stare blankly. Logically speaking, if that dream wasn't just a dream, then he had to stop it. After all, if Reina killed Shiyin and Keiichi, then Fangzheng's mission would be a complete failure. Rika definitely wouldn't accept such a world. She had reincarnated for more than a hundred years in order to find a happy ending for her and her friends. If she couldn't find it in this world, then she would definitely leave this place and look for another world.
Therefore, it was reasonable for Fangzheng to immediately stop all of this. But his premonition prevented Fangzheng from doing so. Wait … Thinking until here, Fangzheng's expression instantly turned ugly.
He finally found out where the pit this world dug for him was!
Ever since he came to this world, Fangzheng was full of confidence. He felt that he was very stable and wouldn't screw up. The reason was very simple. He knew who was behind the scenes, and he also knew the root cause of the 'Fledgling Sapling Syndrome'. He felt that as long as he followed the storyline, then he would definitely be able to 'pass'.
But now, Fangzheng finally found out that he had long suffered from the 'Fledgling Sapling Syndrome', and perhaps it had already developed to the fourth stage!
Because now he couldn't make up his mind and make a judgment!
Did he believe in his dream? Or premonition? Or was it instinct?
At this moment, Fangzheng felt that he had fallen into a huge whirlpool. He used to think that he was familiar with the storyline of 'When Winter Cicadas Cry', so he didn't have to worry about any accidents. But now, Fangzheng realized that it might have been better if he didn't know anything.
If Fangzheng didn't know the storyline of 'When Winter Cicadas Cry', he might have just treated the dream as a dream and trusted his intuition more. After all, these children had a deep friendship and bond, so he believed in them … But, that was impossible!
Because in the story of 'When Winter Cicadas Cry', these 'loving' friends all went berserk for various reasons, then raised their butcher's knives to kill their friends. Enraged, Guiyi destroyed almost everything in his path. Even when Meiyin and Reina were prepared to die, Reina still raised her hands and smiled at Guiyi as he raised his baseball bat, asking Guiyi to trust her.
But … Guiyi still killed her without hesitation.
It was the same for Shion. She killed Onibaba, imprisoned her own sister, and brutally killed Sha Duzi, who was supposed to be her protector … As for Lena, there was no need to even mention her. She even wanted to bury the entire school with her, just because she didn't achieve her goal …
And because of these 'love-hate' plots, Fangzheng didn't believe in their friendship at all. Once one of them went crazy, the consequences would be unimaginable!
And now, Fangzheng finally realized that he had unknowingly fallen into the same trap!
He didn't dare to believe that dream, nor did he dare to believe in his premonition, nor did he dare to believe in his own magic. But no matter which doubt he had, Fangzheng could find the corresponding explanation in his mind.
At this moment, Fangzheng finally remembered what Rex said to him when she taught him Prophecy Magic.
"For a Prophecy Mage, the future is just a choice, but the choice doesn't necessarily lead to the result you want. Even if you see the future, the future can change because of it. So, as a Prophecy Mage, you have to be sure that you can accept the future. Remember, a Prophecy Mage isn't a God, and even a God can't escape the grasp of fate. Never forget, when you try to change fate with full confidence, the choice you make is also an inseparable part of fate. "
And now, Fangzheng finally understood the meaning of Rex's words.
To a certain extent, he did do something similar to a Prophecy Mage in the past. Because he was' familiar with the plot ', he could do things in those world dungeons. Only the 'Black Soul' world, Fangzheng didn't know much about it. But fortunately, that world was a single-player world. Fangzheng needed to do more to hone his combat skills, so his decisions couldn't affect anything. After all, there weren't many living people in that world.
And now, Fangzheng finally discovered the hidden dangers and traps.
He knew too much, so he couldn't make a judgment and decision.
Go? That was just a dream, and his premonition told him that if he went, there would be unpredictable consequences.
Don't go? What if it wasn't a dream? Would he see two corpses the next day … Oh, no, Lena would get rid of the two corpses and say that they weren't feeling well and couldn't participate in the gathering!
At this moment, Fangzheng finally realized the malice of this world toward him.
No matter how he chose, it was always bad.
