Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. Dense raindrops fell from the sky.
The trees in the forest swayed left and right amidst the howling wind. They rustled as they collided with each other. It sounded like they were crying, but at the same time, it sounded like they were narrating something.
On the muddy ground, two thin and frail figures leaned against each other. They were shivering in the howling cold wind as they leaned closer to each other.
At this moment, the boy's thin clothes were torn, and there was a ghastly wound on his back. His skin was torn and his flesh was exposed. Fresh blood flowed down his back and gathered into a small stream on the muddy ground, flowing quietly.
The boy's face was getting paler and paler. His lips were trembling because of the pain. He pursed his lips tightly as if he was afraid of making a sound.
"Little Pomelo, I might die," the boy said weakly as he hugged the girl.
"That won't happen. We agreed to escape together. You even said that you would marry me." The girl's face was brimming with yearning for a better life. However, one could tell from her empty eyes that she could not see clearly what was in front of her.
The boy's pale lips trembled slightly when he heard that. He reached out his hand and caressed Little Pomelo's face.
"You must escape. You must live well. Promise me."
"Yes, let's escape together!" the girl answered solemnly.
The boy could not hold on any longer as his blood was flowing out. He started to gasp for air.
At this moment, he yearned to continue living by Little Pomelo's side. He wanted to accompany her as she grew up and take care of her for the rest of her life.
However, his life seemed to have come to an end at this very moment.
I really can't accept this … I just hope that … Little Pomelo can escape after I die … I beg of you, God …
His vision gradually blurred. The boy's head drooped down gently. At this moment, he seemed to hear the voices of those people again. The blue world in the cultivation pool appeared in front of his eyes again.
"What a perfect test subject … It's really rare in this Age of Chaos … Then your serial number will be 410 from now on."
"Life is stabilized … Inject a little spiritual power … Let's see if we can awaken his special constitution … What a pity, it seems like it has failed … 410, don't die … You have to survive at least 10 experiments …"
"This is your roommate, her name is 423. Don't fight, or else you know the consequences …"
"What a pleasant surprise … 423! Perhaps we can use your special physique to research the secrets of cultivation … You're much stronger than that useless 410 … "
"Hahaha … 423 … Your special constitution has been awakened … You actually succeeded in fusing with the spiritual power … Hahaha … We're going to succeed!"
"… I didn't expect that trash 410 to successfully activate his special constitution … What a pleasant surprise … From now on, you and 423 will be the treasures of our lab …"
Memories flashed before his death. Other than the experiments that scared him, the soft and weak voice of the girl appeared in his mind again.
"410, will we die here?"
"Don't call me 410, I have a name, I'm Murphy!"
"Actually, my name is not 423. My name is Little Pomelo."
"Why do you keep staring at me?"
"I can't see you, I can only feel you, hehe."
"Murphy, why are they doing this to us? I feel so painful, so painful!"
"Little Pomelo, you have to hold on. They said that you will succeed. You won't die!"
"Murphy, I feel like I can't hold on any longer, I feel like I'm going to die, I'm in so much pain!"
"Little Pomelo, you have to hold on, I will bring you out, definitely!"
"Really?"
"I swear!"
"Yes, I believe in you!"
"I heard from my mother that I should marry the boy I like when I grow up, Murphy, I like you!"
"I'll marry you after we escape from here!"
"Yes, we will definitely escape from here."
"Little Pomelo, I feel that my strength is getting stronger and stronger, we're almost out, almost!"
"But Murphy, why is my strength not getting stronger? I just feel like I've become two of me, it's so awkward ~"
"Maybe I'm a boy, hehe."
"Murphy, are we really going to escape? But what if I can't see the road? "
"I'm your eyes!"
"It's so good to have you!"
…
After an unknown period of time, Murphy felt as if something was crawling on his face. He slowly opened his eyes, only to find that Little Pomelo was lifting a lock of hair and gently stroking his face.
"I'm not dead?" Murphy asked in a hoarse voice.
"Murphy, we'll share our lives from now on, you are me, I am you, we'll never be separated again!" Little Pomelo held Murphy's hand and smiled foolishly.
"How did you do it?"
"Because I didn't want you to die, your body slowly turned cold, I cried my heart out, thinking that you can't die, then the other me in my body seemed to have entered your body, now we're sharing our lives ~"
As she spoke, Little Pomelo reached out her hand and pinched her own face.
"Does it hurt?!"
Feeling the faint pain on his face, Murphy also smiled. He knew that they were really together this time.
"It hurts so much, I want to pinch you back!" Murphy smiled and pinched his own face too.
"Hey ~ Murphy, you bullied me, I want to pinch you back too …"
Two bodies, sharing a life, they held hands and walked out of the forest step by step, heading towards a new life.
In this cruel world, they stubbornly survived.
They were bullied, endured hunger, and even lied to, but they were still very happy because they still had each other.
They also thought about going home, back to their parents, but on this journey home, they realized that they were inseparable from each other, and nothing else mattered.
He was her eyes, showing her the way and illuminating her dark world.
She was his life, docking for him, becoming his gentle harbor.
One day, Murphy found out about the game Battle Online, knowing that there was a completely real world in it, so he used all the savings he earned to buy two virtual reality devices, wanting to show her the real world.
"Murphy, I'm angry now, you've spent all your money, we're going to starve in the future!"
"Little Pomelo, I heard that you can earn money in this game, how can I let you starve? You know, if you're hungry, I'll definitely be hungry too."
"So you feed me every day so that you won't starve, I'm so sad."
"Yeah, so you have to eat your fill every day!"
"Alright, I'll listen to you this time."
In order to figure out how to earn money in this game, and what class to choose to earn the most money, Murphy asked the veteran players in the forum many times, hoping to get some help.
After being guided by Crayon Shin-chan, they found out that assassin players could earn a lot of money.
This was because many rich players in the game would issue bounty quests, kill a specific player, and collect the bounty after taking a screenshot. Assassins were the most efficient class for assassinations.
After officially coming into contact with the game content, Little Pomelo saw the colorful world for the first time, and she was deeply fascinated by it. After knowing that Murphy had chosen the assassin class, she also chose to be an assassin, because this time, she wanted to earn money with him, and work hard for their happiness together.
Hence, there were two lovers who specialized in taking on bounty quests in the game.
The peculiar souls of Murphy and Little Pomelo naturally attracted Lu Wu's attention, so he asked Bei Li about it.
According to Bei Li, their souls were actually connected and became twin souls. They were an inseparable existence.
At that time, Lu Wu asked out of curiosity, how long would this state last?
However, Bei Li said,
"Longer than forever, even if they reincarnate, they're destined to never be separated again."
Out of curiosity, Lu Wu paid attention to their situation many times.
Until one time, under the sunset by the sea, Lu Wu saw the two of them walking away hand in hand, but there was only a shadow behind them.
