Even a hero cannot save a hopeless person.

As a "hero," all she could do was try her best to help.

……

After watching this part of the story, the comments section erupted in heated discussion.

After all, most of the people in the live stream are adults, and everyone has probably felt lost in life at some point.

Although this part of the story lacks a climax, it is extremely immersive.

.......

Chapter 639 Is this really the depth a 12+ storyline should have?

The third dream.

This time, Seele and Theresa arrived at a beautiful beach.

The first person they met was a kind-looking old woman.

Surprisingly, the old woman's first words were: "Are you... here to persuade him to wake up from his dream?"

These words stunned Seele and Theresa.

This old woman actually knew she was dreaming?

However, the old woman explained the next moment that this was not her dream; she was just a family member imagined by someone.

"Then do you know how to end this dream?"

The old woman shook her head: "Well, that'll probably take quite a bit of effort."

"After all... without this dream, he might not have long to live."

Seele: "Huh?"

Theresa: "?!"

The old woman said, "Before coming here, he had been bedridden for several years, and even the doctors said he wouldn't live past this autumn."

"Those who are now sharing this dream are, to a large extent, in similar circumstances."

"So, I also have a question for you—"

"For those who still have hope, leaving the dream is a blessing for the brave; but what about those who have no future?"

……

Goodness, this is a real problem.

Many players who saw this were already feeling sorry for Theresa.

They keep saying they want to save humanity and prevent them from slowly dying in this dream.

But... for those whose lives have come to an end, this dream... is undoubtedly a hope that allows the future to extend.

If it were them, they wouldn't know what to do.

……

Theresa sighed deeply.

"Let's try it..."

"After all, this dream is not just about the choices of a few people, but also about the shared fate of millions of people."

The two bid farewell to the old woman and found the owner of the dream.

"Hello, grandpa~"

“Hello, we’re here to…” Theresa hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should reveal the cruel truth.

But before she could make up her mind, the old man chuckled and spoke up.

"It's been a long time since anyone's been here. Please sit down. Although there's nothing fancy or expensive, I've prepared plenty of snacks for the children."

The old man mistook Theresa for a little girl.

However, Theresa didn't seem to mind too much: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's alright, we won't be staying here for long..."

"Hehe~" the old man chuckled and said, "Because this is just my dream?"

“Yes, I thought this was just… oh?” Theresa was shocked again.

If the old woman had known it was a dream, that would have been understandable, since she was just someone's imagination.

But this old man...

"Haha, young man, don't underestimate this old man!"

"On a secluded beach, with your loved one, quietly leaning against each other from morning till night, listening to the sound of the waves crashing..."

"...For me, this is truly a luxurious dream..."

"People only realize when they get old that what they truly want and pursue are the most ordinary, peaceful, and mundane days."

"I made many mistakes and wasted a lot of time when I was young. Now, I'm old and lying in a hospital bed, relying on machines to keep me alive. Only now do I realize how precious the most ordinary aspects of life are."

"I'd give up everything I've ever saved in my life for this false dream—even so, do you still intend to wake me from this dream?"

Seele: "...We..."

Theresa: "..."

The two fell silent for a moment.

Faced with such a heavy question, they simply couldn't continue speaking.

Just then, two lively and adorable girls came running over, playfully bickering with each other.

These two are actually the Arlene sisters!

"Rosalia, Rosalia!"

"Wait a minute, Lilia, let me finish this story—"

"You idiot Rosalia, look who's that?"

"Ah!! Seele!! And Theresa too?"

After confirming who it was, Rosalia jumped up with joy.

"Waaaaah... You've finally come to pick us up?"

Theresa was also a little surprised to suddenly encounter the two little ones.

After asking a few questions about the situation, I felt relieved.

At this moment, the old man spoke up again with a smile.

"Alright, alright, we've finally met the person you've been waiting for. Let's have some cake and cheer ourselves up!"

Without any hesitation, the sisters happily began eating the cake prepared by the elderly woman.

It seems these two girls already knew this old man.

It was at this moment that Theresa made up her mind.

Just as she was about to speak, she met the old man's smiling eyes.

The old man quietly observed Theresa's expression, which shifted from serious to hesitant, from sorrow to solemnity, and finally to a look of unwavering determination.

Finally, the old man smiled.

"Hahaha... Okay, okay, I'll stop teasing you guys."

"When I see energetic young people, I can't resist playing a trick on them and testing their resolve. So please forgive this old man's mischievousness."

He looked down at the Arlene sisters, who were happily eating their cake, his eyes filled with affection.

"You're here to take these two children home, right?"

Seele nodded: "Yes..."

The old man said, "It seems it's time for me to wake up from this beautiful dream."

"Huh?" Theresa was surprised by the old man's words: "But, as you know, once you wake up from a dream, you will..."

“Yes…I will go back to the ward, I will be paralyzed in bed, and I will not live much longer.” At this point, the old woman’s gaze fell on the Arlene sisters again:

"I've lived for over eighty years, and I've tasted most of the joys and sorrows of this world."

"But they are different; they are young, energetic, and full of life and hope."

"It would be too cruel to confine such young people to an unchanging dream."

"This world... it's time for the old lives to step down and for the new to take center stage."

Theresa shook her head: "No, grandpa, we won't persuade you to give up on this dream."

"Such dreams are not actually wrong; the problem lies with those who haven't reached the end of their lives but have already given up on the future."

"Grandpa, I believe in you—I believe you can take care of the other young people just as you took care of these two sisters."

"Then... just like now, tell them that beyond dreams, there is a life waiting for them."
