Chapter 238 Us Still Together (1)
Alice remembers a little girl in the movie who was once covered in wounds. She bravely rebelled and traveled with her witch companions and warrior companions. They gathered together and embarked on a journey to save the world.
The little girl defeated the ferocious and ruthless Dark Knight, and also triumphed over the enormous and incredibly strong desert worm. Along her journey, she overcame countless hardships and dangers, finally approaching the source of all evil—the hidden mastermind behind it all. However, just when she was within reach of her goal…
One by one, her companions left her, until finally she was all alone. But she was not defeated by grief. The love left by her companions led her to the source of evil. She forged her will into a sword and destroyed the source of everything—the illusion called injustice.
This is the story of the movie. Alice walks out of the movie theater and sees the night sky outside—neon lights are flashing, music is playing, and people are enjoying the night on the streets.
Alice secretly ordered two ice creams and handed them to Alicia, one strawberry and one chocolate. Seeing the expectant look in Alice's eyes after seeing the ice cream, Alicia took the chocolate one.
She wanted Alice to have something sweet.
"How was it? Was the movie good?"
"That's great, but the story isn't over yet, is it? Is it not finished filming?"
Alice asked, "After the little girl pierced the phantom with the sword, the screen went black, and the movie abruptly ended." Alicia smiled and put her hand to her lips—
"Of course, the story isn't over yet!"
Alice didn't understand Alicia's meaning. She just pretended that the filming wasn't finished, since it wasn't the premiere. She licked her ice cream.
"Then I'll be looking forward to Mother's finished work!"
Alicia patted Alice on the shoulder, watching Alice struggle with the ice cream.
Yes, my child, one day it will be completed, and you will complete it.
Alicia led Alice out of the movie theater and into the bustling crowd. Electric lights were invented by human hands, and from then on, darkness was no longer an obstacle to civilized activities.
People walking on the street never imagined a few years ago that they could now walk outdoors and enjoy a life they never dared to dream of before, even though the sun's rays have disappeared.
Alice was taken to a shopping mall by Alicia. For Alice, he used to be just a customer, and she used to be just an observer, but Alicia took her to a clothing store.
"Yes, flowing hair does look nice, but little Alice needs some accessories."
Alicia browsed the shelves, her hands brushing over necklaces and hair ties, finally picking up a pair of hair clips and clipping them into Alice's hair.
"It looks much better this way."
"When Alice grows up, she'll have to dress herself up. I can't be by your side all the time. A girl can't be unkempt."
Alice turned her head away and said awkwardly and reluctantly, "Um, um, okay."
For Alicia, tonight is an unforgettable night. In this world, they can finally let go of everything and fully experience the world they have created.
Alicia looked at the little girl. Since the first embrace, her feelings for Alice had been incredibly complex. She had experienced regret and joy.
She once harbored the intention to take advantage of her, but as time goes by, even the initial thoughts can change.
She had long regarded her as her own daughter, and now Alice was everything to her. She would no longer stand idly by and watch danger approach her.
Alice's future was for her to win; she only wished time would slow down, allowing them enough time to be tender. She held Alice's hand and walked from one end of the street to the other, from one shopping mall to another, until late at night, until people had left the streets. Finally, reluctantly, she returned to the parking lot and let go of Alice's hand.
"Alice."
"Ok?"
"From now on, I need to be kinder to myself. Work is very demanding, but I still need to eat and drink well."
"We know, isn't that what you're here for?"
"Me? Haha..."
Alicia hesitated, then simply turned on the car's media player.
“Country road, take me home, To the place I belong”
(Hometown road, take me home~ to the place where I grew up~)
“West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, country road.”
(West Virginia, Mother Mountain, the road home, take me home.)
The gentle country music relaxed the two of them, and Alicia listened to the songs from a foreign land repeatedly.
"Alice."
"Ok?"
What is your hometown like?
"If I had to say, we have more than one hometown~"
Alice tries hard to awaken her long-forgotten memories.
"I was born in Appalachia, but my home is in Sanmenxia. When I was young, my family took me all over China, from one country to another, so I don't remember exactly where I was born~"
Alice couldn't remember some things, and she couldn't go back.
"Yes, we will all become different people, whether we like it or not. We never imagined this day would come..."
"If possible, I would like to visit your hometown and see what it's like."
"Well, it must be possible!"
Alicia gave a barely perceptible smile, but her eyes were full of regret. The guitar melody soon ended, and under the night sky, the car drove alone on the road.
Alicia looked at Alice, who was sleeping on her side in the passenger seat, turned down the volume on the player, and pulled out a small blanket to cover her.
"Be strong, Alice, my child."
she muttered.
