Chapter 47: Where you are is where I want to go

　　"So, what do you think they are? Those stars."

　　Riva hesitated: "I never told anyone, but...I always thought they were beacons.

　　They can see every lighthouse. They want to chat with each other. But they can do nothing, they are far away from each other, so they can't hear each other's call. "

　　When Lin Fan saw this sentence, his heart was sad, and his eyes were a little sore: "Isn't Liva talking about her own state of mind? She longs to communicate with others, but has a congenital disease and cannot communicate with others normally. This is her The reason why I like the lighthouse... In her opinion, the lighthouse and her share the same loneliness."

　　Riva whispered, "All they can do... is to work hard to shine. That's the only thing they can do.

　　Let that light shine on other lighthouses, and on me too. "

　　It was obviously very optimistic words and very gentle music, but Lin Fan's chest seemed to be blocked by a rock. "Are you working hard to shine?"

　　Johnny: "Why you?"

　　Riva: "Because one day, I'll be their friend too."

　　Riva noticed Johnny's backpack: "What's in that bag?"

　　Johnny: "Oh, it's my whack-a-mole prize. Have you ever played whack-a-mole?"

　　"I tried, but I'm so clumsy... what have you got?"

　　"I'm not quite sure what it is..." Johnny opened his backpack, revealing a black duck-like doll, "It looks like a strange duck, kind of like a beaver..."

　　The episodes erupted one after another without giving people the slightest chance to breathe. The surging emotions accumulated to the highest point, gushing out like a flood, easily crushing Lin Fan's tear ducts.

　　He couldn't bear it any longer, feeling some kind of liquid blurred his eyes and his nose was sour: "╥﹏╥...It's a platypus!"

　　The ugly platypus dolls that kept appearing in the game, the platypus dolls that Riva always carried with her, finally explained the source at this moment.

　　"Johnny?" Someone called from a distance.

　　Johnny jumped up. "It's mom calling me! I should go."

　　Riva held the platypus doll: "...this!"

　　Maybe Johnny didn't like this doll, maybe he noticed Riva's hidden envious tone when he said that he was clumsy, maybe he met Riva at first sight, and said generously: "Well... accept it, it's yours already."

　　Riva hugged the platypus doll, blinking her eyes, wondering what she was thinking: "Mine?"

　　"I can definitely win another one. I'm not boasting, I'm the best whack-a-mole player!"

　　Riva looked at Johnny: "Will you come here again next year?"

　　"Of course, how about you?"

　　"Will do."

　　"Old time, old place?"

　　"Um."

　　Riva watched Johnny walk away, jumped off the log, and hugged the platypus tightly in her arms. The piano sounded softly and softly: "What if you forgot, or got lost?"

　　"Then we'll meet on the moon, fool!" Johnny looked back at Riva, "in the bunny's belly!"

　　Tears slid down Lin Fan's cheeks, he tore off a tissue, blew his nose, his eyes were moved and uncomfortable: "So going to the moon, is that what it means... Soon after, Johnny took beta-blockers medicine, forget the sad memory, and forget the promise with Riva..."

　　"No." Johnny's reply came to his mind when the two doctors asked the old man why he went to the moon, "'I don't know why, I just...have to go.' Johnny actually remembers and Riva the agreement..."

　　It turns out that what I want to go to is not the moon, but a place where I can meet you.

　　Lin Fan had already used up three tissues before he knew it.

He twitched his nose and sighed, "I didn't think I, a stubborn guy, would actually cry while playing this pixel-style game..."

　　The two doctors also discussed it. "Now, I think we know what to do to get him to the moon," Dr. Rosalind said.

　　Dr. Watts: "Wait a minute, you don't really want to do this, do you? You don't?"

　　Lin Fan was confused and a little uneasy: "What is Dr. Rosalind going to do? What are you playing with?"

　　"This is our job, Watts..." Dr. Rosalind's body flickered, which was a sign of teleportation in the memory world, "This is our obligation under the contract."

　　Then, her body disappeared in this memory fragment.

　　"Damn..." Dr. Watts said, and also began to teleport. The center of the camera slowly moved from the position where the two doctors disappeared to Riva, who was sitting quietly watching the stars, holding the platypus, as if it had no deep meaning.

　　Lin Fan was caught up in the sudden turn of events and stared at the screen nervously. He didn't want to think about what was going to happen next, he just wanted the plot to tell him the answer quickly.

　　The memory jumped and came to the school cafeteria, next to Riva who was eating alone with a platypus doll on the table. The noisy student noise mixed with the depressing and dull electronic sound made Lin Fan feel that his heart was beating faster because of his nervousness.

　　This time, only Dr. Watts can be manipulated. As soon as he appeared, he looked around. Although Dr. Rosalind was not here, he seemed to be able to detect the residue of some kind of information through the instrument: "I knew you were here..."

　　Dr. Watts rushed out of the cafeteria, the eerie and cold piano sound created an atmosphere of unknown fear, and he began to run down the corridor.

　　Around the corner, Dr. Watts caught up with Dr. Rosalind. The light entered the corridor through the window. He stopped and stood in the light. His tone seemed to be suppressed: "Turn around."

　　Dr. Rosalind turned around, she was just shrouded in shadow, and she couldn't see the expression on her face: "Watz."

　　"I know what you're going to do."

　　"I know you know."

　　"I know you know I know..."

　　Lin Fan burst out laughing, Dr. Watts is indeed joking. In such a serious occasion, can be funny in such a tense and weird bgm, and the depressing atmosphere dissipated a lot, which relieved his mood a little.

　　Dr. Rosalind interrupted his recitation: "Look, our contract is to send him to the moon. And the way to make it happen is... Johnny is eager to do it."

　　Dr. Watts: "But if it means removing Riva, what's the point of all this?!"

　　The words "Remove Riva" were italicized, and it seemed that Dr. Watts' excited roar could be heard.

　　Lin Fanru was struck by lightning and widened his eyes. His unwillingness to think deeply was brutally torn open in front of his eyes, and his thoughts began to work quickly: "Johnny's real wish is not to go to the moon, but to accompany Riva, so a few days ago Attempts to instill wishes were unsuccessful.

　　The fundamental reason why he wants to go to the moon is precisely because Riva is dead! Only by removing Riva and keeping Johnny from seeing her will he change the trajectory of his life. But what's the point of going to the moon when Riva's gone? ! "

　　Dr. Rosalind patiently persuaded: "We are bound by a contract by law, especially..."

　　Dr. Watts threw his fists exaggeratedly: "*expletive* contract! I didn't take this job to make him worse."

　　The two quarreled fiercely in the corridor, and the piano sound became more and more urgent. Should the old man go to the moon, or should he accompany Riva to spend her life peacefully?

　　After experiencing so many sad and happy memories of the old man, Lin Fan naturally preferred Dr. Watts, but there was no option in the game for him to choose.

　　At this moment, in the memory space, a dangerous red light flashed again.

　　"The old man's life is running out, what to do now..." Lin Fan felt powerless and nervous.
