The Demon King's Around-the-World Adventures

{Not a Dream} (I gave it a separate literary title: No Man's Land)

Di Ming asks everyone he meets, "Do you believe in past lives and this life?"

Then he talks to himself: "I do, but I can't find him anymore."

I was the one who lost him. With my own hands.

But he doesn't dare say that last part aloud.

Because he's afraid people will tell him he deserves it.
