Chapter 70 Going back to the past on my behalf

Chapter 70 Going back to the past on my behalf

The world returned to darkness.

Snape remembered that day when he walked in a dark space for a long time. There was no sound, and he couldn't even feel the passage of time.

Until a white dot of light slid across the sky and appeared in front of him.

"Severus!"

The light slid in front of him and turned into a boy.

The boy was a little thin, with black hair sticking to his cheeks, and wearing loose and ill-fitting clothes, making Snape feel both strange and familiar.

"Who are you and how do you know my name?" Snape asked cautiously.

"I'm Severus Snape." The boy looked into his eyes and smiled. "It's amazing, isn't it? I'm the seven-year-old you now. I didn't expect that I would look like this when I grow up. It's a little different from what I thought."

Snape looked at the boy's face, trying to associate him with himself when he was seven years old, and found that he had no memory of what he looked like before.

"Can I ask you a favor?" the boy looked at Snape sincerely and said.

"What is it?" asked Snape.

"Actually, I'm already dead, but someone is trying to revive me now. I hope you can return to my body and continue living on my behalf. You will be the grown-up me, and no one will notice anything wrong with you.

By the way, you have to act more convincingly, otherwise Ali will be very sad if she knows that she didn’t save me.”

When the boy said this, his face was full of sadness.

He hasn't said goodbye to Ali properly yet.

"Why do you need me to replace you? Can't you just go back by yourself?" Snape looked at the boy and said.

He can no longer remember what happened in the past. Was he ever so kind that he would sacrifice himself for others?

"I can't go back."

The boy looked at Snape with some sadness and said, "A white-bearded grandfather told me that Ali is a very good person. She spent a lot of energy to let me return to my original body, but if I really go back, her sacrifice formation will succeed and Ali will die.

Ali is very good to me and I don’t want her to die.

But you are different. You are the grown-up me, not the original me. Even if you go back to your body, Ali will not die.

Besides, you are very powerful and know a lot of magic. You must know how to make Irene happy, and Ali won't feel bad for not saving me."

Snape looked at the chattering boy and asked slowly, "What will you do if I go back? Will you die?"

"I won't die." The boy smiled at Snape and said, "Grandpa Whitebeard said that Ali has done me a lot of good deeds. I can't go back to my original world, but I can live in another world.

He will choose a good world for me, and..."

The boy stepped forward and held Snape's hand, his dark eyes twinkling like thousands of stars as he said, "You must have suffered a lot, too. Grandpa Whitebeard said you had a hard time.

But you will meet Ali in this world. She is a very good person and you will not be as lonely as before. "

Snape felt it was absurd. Was he actually being comforted by his seven-year-old self?

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

The boy stepped forward and hugged Snape, saying softly, "Go back."

The sound gradually faded away, the boy's figure disappeared, and everything around him began to retreat, like a flash of light, followed by a noisy sound.

Snape saw Jiang Li, and he didn't expect that she recognized at a glance that he was not the seven-year-old Severus.

He felt like he was a shameless thief. He knew Jiang Li mistook him for his seven-year-old self, but he still pretended not to know and indulged in their tenderness.

"I hope it's not me who comes back." Snape said softly.

Jiang Li would not be disappointed. After all, he was nothing like when he was seven years old, and he didn't like himself.

The voice was very soft, but Jiang Li heard it.

She looked at the guilt in Snape's eyes, was stunned for a moment, and immediately went forward and hugged him.

"I'm sorry, but I still can't replace my seven-year-old self."

Soft hair rubbed against her neck and shoulders. Jiang Li listened to the guilty voice coming from his ears, as if he could feel the other person's heart being tightly squeezed, and the pain was tearing at the tension that made it impossible to breathe.

Her white fingers fell on the other's black hair, and she said slowly: "Severus, I have never mistaken you for someone else, I know who you are.

Do you know why I don't call you Sever? Because you two are different from the beginning. There is no one replacing the other. I just want to be good to you, not because of others. "

Snape didn't say anything, but just hugged Jiang Li tightly and buried his head in her shoulder.

Jiang Li didn't let him go either.

Looking at the dark night sky, he sighed softly, his eyes looking far away.

In fact, she should have died long ago.

My mother is gone, Aunt Chunhua is dead, my brothers and master are also dead one by one, and I can’t even keep my contracted beast.

The moment she was born, it seemed as if misfortune was with her and everyone would leave her.

Jiang Li sometimes wondered why she wasn't the one who died. Obviously all the people she cared about were dead, so why was she still alive?

When death really came, Jiang Li was happy, because she could finally die.

But Jiang Li didn't expect that her master had left her a backup plan, allowing her to survive.

This world is like a huge cage, trapping souls who want to die.

She didn't know why she was alive, but the master probably wanted her to live her own life.

But Jiang Li didn't know what else was worth lingering on.

When Jiang Li picked up little Snape, he suddenly felt that he had a bond with this world.

She was wondering if her master also felt pity for her when he picked her up. She was so small and looked like she could die easily.

Anyway, you don't need to be too attentive. Just a little bit of kindness will make him very happy.

The moment he saw the boy die, Jiang Li thought of the sacrificial formation.

When she poured the power of merit into the formation, she was thinking that she was finally going to die this time.

It’s great that she is not the only one who survived. She is obviously the one who deserves to die.

The moment she saw Snape wake up, Jiang Li thought that she had used the wrong formation, but it succeeded by accident. After all, she felt Snape's familiar soul fluctuations.

But the moment she saw Snape open his eyes and speak, she knew she had failed.

This wasn't Severus, this was another Severus.

When Jiang Li went to the amusement park to find Snape that day, Snape was like an old tree that was about to wither, abandoned in this world, and the light in his eyes had turned into darkness.

She suddenly realized that this person was very similar to her, but not that similar.

Jiang Li thought that if he took good care of it, maybe it could survive.

"Severus, it's snowing."

In the deep night sky, white snowflakes fell quietly. She raised her hand to catch the snowflakes, watching them melt in her palm.

Snape looked up, and snowflakes just fell on the ends of his hair. He turned his head and bumped into a pair of gentle blue eyes.

"We go home."

Jiang Li brushed off the snow on the ends of his hair.

The snow was getting heavier, and those who were still celebrating enthusiastically outside had to rush back.

When the two returned home, heavy snow had begun to fall outside and everything was covered in white snow.

Jiang Li said with a thankful look on his face: "Fortunately we came back early, otherwise our clothes would be covered in snow."

She turned her head to look at Snape, and seeing him looking at her, her sword-wielding hand was ready to move, so she bent her fingers and flicked them hard on his forehead.

Snape was caught off guard and was hit by Jiang Li. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't force me to scold you."

"Alas, you haven't been sarcastic to me recently. I feel a little uncomfortable." Jiang Li sighed.

Snape: "..."

"Didn't you ask me to be more frank and not say hurtful things all the time?" Snape said gritting his teeth.

"That's for other people, it doesn't matter to me. Anyway, I know you want to say something nice." Jiang Li looked at Snape with a smile and said, "If you are really unhappy, I can beat you up."

Snape suspected that Jiang Li was just looking for an excuse to beat him up, "I'm not used to getting beaten up."

Hearing this, Jiang Li was overjoyed. He put his arm around Snape and said, "You're so cute. Can't you tell I'm joking?"

Snape felt the delicate touch of a wrist on his neck, and his face felt a little hot, but he did not push Jiang Li away.

"I know."

When he said this, Jiang Li had already left and took a book on alchemy from the shelf.
