Blade of Time

Chapter 7 Shadow
On the roof of the building, Jiang Changye and Tokisaki Kurumi sat on the edge with their feet on the outside.

With the help of the four bullets time flow back, Tokisaki Kurumi has recovered, but he has no intention of killing him.

Sitting on the roof, looking at the distant scenery.

The girl said indifferently:

"Tokisaki Kurumi, my name comes from a world you cannot understand."

"Jiang Changye, under the order of the order, the pure land civilization of the human race, Maple Leaf City, Beizhou, student of the Holy Cross Law Academy, trainee of the third division of the Law Committee."

Jiang Changye replied with a smile, completely unaware of being a prisoner.

After thinking about it, he added another sentence: "Need me to explain to you about the situation there?"

The girl obviously didn't care, she just murmured: "That's great."

Jiang Changye was puzzled: "Where is it good?"

Tokisaki Kurumi stared blankly into the distance, his golden and red eyes shining with hope: "You have a family, a history, parents, brothers and sisters who love you... But I have nothing, like a rootless Duckweed, but duckweed has a source, but we don't have it. There is no past, no future, and no hope."

She murmured, her indifferent tone was full of helpless sadness.

Jiang Changye understood.

So Tokisaki Kurumi is also extremely tired and helpless with this kind of rootless life experience?
Even if you go back in time and space, you can't find your past.

Just because it doesn't exist!
Jiang Changye said: "But at least you still have companions?"

companion?

This word made the girl feel more at a loss.

She shook her head slightly: "I am a companion."

what?
What does this mean?
Jiang Changye suddenly remembered one thing.

Tokisaki Kurumi has the powerful ability to store himself in countless past times and spaces and form his own clone.

Speaking of which, Tokisaki Kurumi's ability is defined as the existence of the sky, and the twelve pointer scales, each of which corresponds to a powerful time-type ability, once fully realized, is invincible.

The invincibility in the setting is not the invincibility in the plot.

In the plot of Date A Live, she has an invincible setting, but she has been defeated many times, and each time she survived by relying on the space-time clone.

I am a companion...

It turns out that she is not the real Tokisaki Kurumi, but the shadow of Tokisaki Kurumi?
Jiang Changye suddenly understood.

No wonder she said before that she was here all the time.

Tokisaki Kurumi has his own shadow space, storing countless selves. Once he dies, he can transfer his consciousness to a certain clone.

Could it be that there was a problem with Tokisaki Kurumi's shadow space and merged into the dream world?

Jiang Changye couldn't understand it, and couldn't ask too directly. He just looked at Tokisaki Kurumi, and at the same time couldn't help but think that there should be no difference in essence between the space-time clone and the main body, unless he changed too much, which caused him to be different from a certain period of time. I have a difference, and in this case, theoretically, shadows can continue to have shadows. If the time period can be subdivided infinitely, it can even create an infinite number of shadows.

But in actual performance, things are clearly not the case.

Jiang Changye didn't understand the mechanism of Tokisaki Kurumi's existence under the law of alienation, but only vaguely felt that Tokisaki Kurumi also had his own limitations.

For example, except for Emperor Keke, her own combat power is relatively ordinary, and Emperor Keke is actually a strong support. When the body is not strong, no matter how strong the support is, it is difficult to play a role;

For example, using her time ability will consume her own time and needs to be replenished;
For example, it is impossible for her to subdivide the time period infinitely, so there are no infinite shadows and so on.

But her real weakness is the confusion deep in her heart.

As a shadow, she does not know where she came from and where she is going.

I don't even know the meaning of my own existence.

She is a companion, a companion summoned by the main body at any time, appearing here because of a certain accident.

Is the real body of the shadow appearing?

Or a dream of shadows?
It was too complicated, and the wisdom of Jiang Changye and Wei Lixiao couldn't understand it.

Jiang Changye chose his words carefully: "So, you came here to look for a companion? Then you found it. From now on, I will be your companion."

Tokisaki Kurumi still looked blankly into the distance: "I'm looking for someone, I don't know if he is my companion... I don't remember him, I just know that if I find him, I can find the answer. He is here ,over there……"

She slightly raised her little hand and pointed to the distance.

"Then how do you know you found him?" Jiang Changye asked.

Tokisaki Kurumi replied blankly: "If you find it, you will know."

Uh……

You don't know anything about yourself.

Jiang Changye can't figure out her state now, but at least he knows how to deal with a confused girl.

This kind of thing, whether it is a handsome young man who is very popular with the Holy Cross Law Academy, or a veteran of the business world, he is very experienced!

He smiled: "Then I'm the one you're looking for."

Picking up girls, the first element is a thick skin!
Whether it will work or not, you have to try it first.

Tokisaki looked at him three times: "You say you are? Then give me the answer."

"What answer do you want?"

Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes were slightly sad: "Destination... Where is our destination?"

This question is somewhat complicated.

Jiang Changye thought about it for a while before answering: "For the major civilizations in the ordinal dimension, the only destination for alienated creatures is purification. But facts have long proved that the law of alienation will always come again and again, and there is no eternal purification. , there is no eternal death, there is only endless reincarnation. The answer you are looking for is like pressing a point on a circle and asking if it is the starting point or the end point. The destination can be the starting point or the end point. But That's not important, what's important is the journey from start to finish, we've been through that, we've got everything..."

Of course, this passage did not come from Jiang Changye, but from Wei Poxiao's cognition.As you get older and have more cognition, your thinking will become more and more complicated. After talking for a long time, it sounds like you didn't say anything.

But it's useful for fooling around sometimes.

Tokisaki Kurumi murmured: "It's like time and space... endless time and space... Shuttle between the past and the future, there is no beginning and no end, only the process."

"Yes. What do you think of that answer?"

Tokisaki Kurumi still stared blankly at the sky: "This is not the answer I am looking for...you are not the person I am looking for."

Terrible negative!

Juvenile feelings are meaningless here, but fortunately, the deceitfulness of the old bird can still play a role.

Jiang Changye sighed softly: "Maybe it's not that the answer is wrong, it's just that you don't like it."

Tokisaki Kurumi looked at him: "I don't like it?"

Jiang Changye nodded: "Young people always like simple answers and hate complicated ones. For them, the world is so simple, there are only good and evil, as long as good and bad. If you want to know the destination, it must be clear Answer. It's like if you ask me, which came first, the chicken or the egg, and I have to give you a definite answer. But the truth is, there is no definite answer. Because according to the theory of evolution, the chicken and the egg are never the same The emergence of things. The development of things is gradual, not sudden, and there is no inevitable and clear dividing line."

Tokisaki Kurumi pursed his lips: "It sounds so complicated, but your tone is like an old man."

Uh, I did inherit the wisdom of an old man.

He was already young and mature, but he inherited the life experience of an old man, so he became more and more mature.

But fortunately, my heart is still young, and my desire and drive are still high.

Jiang Changye quickly said: "Then put it another way. Maybe the destination you are looking for is not the destination of life, but the destination of the soul. If one day, you fall in love with someone, you will find that everything is not the same. It's important."

Hearing this, Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes lit up.

She murmured: "Love...my own love..."

She turned to look at Jiang Changye: "You mean, I'm looking for my lover? If I find my lover, I'll find my destination?"

Jiang Changye replied seriously: "If you think it is, then it is!"

The light of hope lit up in Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes.

She looked at Jiang Changye seriously, and said with her cherry lips, "Let's go on a date!"
