Chapter 395
——Demon King Castle·Throne——

……

……

……

There was light out of darkness.

Countless stars are dotted in the sky on a summer night.

Hui Yuanchu found himself standing on a street lamp.

——The top of a street lamp in the park late at night.

So as soon as he came, he felt the night breeze blowing face to face, listened to the quiet sounds and insects around him, and when he raised his head, he could see the brightly lit skyscrapers in the distance.

Hui Yuanchu suddenly realized which scene this was.

When he lowered his head, he saw...

On the row of park benches illuminated by the lamp under his feet, a beautiful girl with long black hair and a cold temperament was sitting peacefully on it, habitually straightening her waist in a dignified posture and raising her head slightly. The curved chest is reading under the lamp.

Hui Yuanchu jumped down from the street lamp and landed lightly.

Orokui didn't react at all, as if she didn't even realize there was an extra person beside her.

Hui Yuan didn't speak at first, just hugging his shoulders without saying a word and standing next to the bench with a cold attitude.

After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to have created an atmosphere.But just when he puffed up his cheeks and wanted to preemptively accuse something——

"Okay, stop making trouble." The timing was just right, and Zhe Lukui suddenly spoke.

She continued to look down at the book and spoke calmly, reaching out and patting the chair next to her: "Come, sit next to me."

Hui Yuanchu was suddenly interrupted from all his preparations and felt discouraged.

He walked over angrily and sat down next to Orukui.

Zhe Lukui still didn't look at him, but patted the back of his hand.

"You really know me too well..." Hui Yuanchu covered his face and said, "Well, after all, the you here is actually me, and I must have shaped his heart."

"Isn't that the case?" Zhe Lukui continued to read the book calmly and replied, "The majority of people in the world do not understand themselves. Especially people as stupid as Xiao Hui... So, this me in front of you Although it was created by his telepathy, my understanding of Xiao Hui so well is not due to you, but because the original Zhe Lukui is the person who understands Xiao Hui best in the world."

"... Of course, she doesn't seem to want to admit this." Then she sneered, not knowing who she was laughing at.

"...So, you are Aoi." Hui Yuanchu repeated.

"Yes, I am Zhe Lukui." Zhe Lukui said, "That's what he has in mind. Although we can only exist in your spiritual world, we are not you, but 'us'. I will We will think what we think. We will do what we would do if we face the same thing."

Hui Yuan thought for a moment: "In other words, if Aoi was here, she would do the same thing."

"Ah."

"So, this script is also like this?"

"of course."

Haiyuan shook his head and asked: "So I don't understand what's going on with this script? Why did you arrange for Yumiko, Saya and Ayano to come to see me?"

"That's what it is. If a brave man chooses a tool shop girl, a sword, or a dragon on the road... any choice is a good thing for the brave man." Orilu Kui said steadily, revealing something kind of pride, "——That's the script I designed. Of course, any ending will be a Happy Ending that makes the brave live a happy life."

"Xiao Hui, tell me, which ending do you like best?"

Hui Yuan did not answer this question at first, but asked instead: "Then, which ending is a happy ending for the devil?"

Zhe Lukui fell silent for a moment.

"Don't ask about worthless and meaningless things." Finally, she said calmly, "How can the Demon King be worthy of a Happy Ending?"

"No, I think-"

"Okay." Zhe Lukui interrupted him.

She suddenly reached over, gently pressed his hand, and then turned half sideways.

Originally, the distance between the two was obviously so close that they were shoulder to shoulder.

But she moved closer, as if she would fall into his arms the next moment.

But she didn't. She just supported it with a delicate balance, pressed it on his hand, raised her face slightly, looked up at him slightly, looked into his eyes,

"Speaking of which, his mental communication is indeed not exactly the same as mine, but there are still some slight differences."

Hui Yuan also lowered his head, obsessed with the beautiful color of the eyes so close at hand, and repeated: "Different?"

"The objective conditions are different." The amber-like eyes blinked, and the long eyelashes trembled slightly. "People's choices will also change due to various objective conditions. Therefore, his mind will not necessarily make the same choice as me. …

"...However, 'I' and 'I' must have the same idea at the root.

"So, his mind is like a mirror, which can reflect a person's truest wishes."

She stared at him and suddenly attacked: "You can't escape now... Where is the answer I want?"

Hui Yuanchu looked into her eyes, instead of running away, he replied: "I will not run away, nor will I hide.

"I answer here openly and declare here: Hui Yuan originally loved Zhe Lukui.

“From the beginning until now.

"Furthermore, this is something that has nothing to do with Yadabadu's love for Sophia."

Zhe Lukui heard it.

But she didn't move at all, still maintaining the position where she almost fell into his arms.

The two continued to stare into each other's eyes, so close that the tips of their noses almost touched.

Finally, she said: "Then tell me all these things. Tell me face to face."

"I……"

She spoke another word.

"I'm gonna be happy."

She showed an unprecedented soft smile: "Because...actually I am also afraid.

"——In this world, is the person I hope for...loving me?
"Everything you show...is it because you love me, or because Adabado loves Sophia?

"So - you have to tell me personally. I'll wait."

Then she regained her posture, stepped back, and gently pushed Hui Yuanchu's chest.

As if suspended in the air, Hui Yuanchu floated backwards.

"Go." Zhe Lukui finally said, "First deal with Yadabaduo, and then, without any delay, go to see me as quickly as possible. Tell me -"

Then the girl continued to sit on the bench and started reading again.The benches continue to be placed quietly in the park under the night sky.

The entire scene containing the girl, while Hui Yuanchu continued to slowly float backwards, moved away from him, quickly shrank into a ball, and finally became a point in the endless deep void.

Hui Yuanchu continued to float backward.

The space of the Demon King's City continued to pass behind him, wrapping around him from his front, back, left, and right, and then was sucked into the singularity in the distance.

The city was empty, with no dark general, no dark saint, and no dark palace chief.Only the clown, continues to sing and dance on the stage.

When the Demon King's City was completely sucked into the singularity, other scenery on the continent followed.

The knight rides the horse on the plains, the priestess and the monk travel in the beautiful valley, the dragon girl eats and sleeps in the luxurious room, the knife waits quietly in the depths of the dense forest with mottled light and shadow, the prop house lady I was sweating while carrying goods in the store.

Scenery after scene, rolling, and finally being sucked into the singularity.

Then there's Tokyo.

Shinjuku, Arakawa, Minato, Shibuya...

Hui Yuanchu gradually became tired under the scenery that was constantly reflected in the strange and bizarre scenery.He closed his eyes and floated in the space, being swept by various images, as if drifting with the ocean current.

Until at some point, he stopped wandering and felt solid ground beneath him.

Hui Yuanchu turned over and sat up, looking at the illusory screen floating in the sky.

Then he lowered his gaze from the sky to the front.

Not far away, there are two rows of six empty thrones with no one sitting on them.

In front of the throne are high steps.

On the steps is the most supreme throne.

And on that throne...

"Yo--are you finally here?" The little boy sitting cross-legged on the throne greeted him with a smile and a childish and neutral voice that had not changed.

Hui Yuanchu stood up and looked up at the little boy on the throne.

——The appearance of the little boy was very familiar to Hui Yuanchu.

It was himself when he was young and had not yet traveled through time.

"Yadabaduo." Hui Yuanchu called that existence.

……

——Tokyo·Shinjuku——

……

……

……

After the suppression troops of the more "professional" group entered the scene, the infected Yellowstone tide was finally controlled at the borders of Shinjuku.

Taking the road surrounding Shinjuku as a boundary, twelve group MTFs equipped with medium-sized full-coverage exoskeletons were directly nailed there, building several lines of defense that firmly blocked the overflow of Yellowstone.

At this time, on one of the defense lines, a small team was dealing with a small wave of impact consisting of nearly thirty yellow stones.

Huang Shi roared and rushed over, leaping high - then, the power shield with afterburner roared and slammed over, instantly pushing Huang Shi down to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the spiked armored military boots stepped down, firmly nailing it to the ground.

A thick gun barrel immediately smashed Huang Shi's crystallized teeth and penetrated his mouth.

Inside the exoskeleton, the soldier used a ruthless voice to assist the AI ​​in recording: "Register."

Click——, the flashlight on the top of the mask turned on, and the miniature camera took a human-like "blink" action to capture Huangshi's only face that still had human features.

"H-type integration, registration completed." A cold AI synthesized voice announced, "The annihilation license has been issued and is valid for 3600 seconds. Please execute it as soon as possible within the validity period of the license."

Huang Shi's face, the only one that still had human features, was still crying: "Don't - help me -"

The soldier pulled the trigger without thinking, and verbally recorded in the terminal: "Executed."

Bang - the barrel of the gun that poked into Huang Shi's mouth made a duller sound than usual.As if being detonated, Huangshi exploded instantly.

But the finely divided crystal slag was completely blocked by the exoskeleton armor with a filtering device.The crystal dust that quietly floated towards the gap was also blown away by the coolant sprayed outward with a "boom".

Continuous gunshots and wails came from beside them, but the tactical HUD did not show attrition, so the soldiers felt relieved, knowing that their comrades were not injured.

"The annihilation node has been executed. The H-type integrated unit has been annihilated. The disposal process will be automatically transferred to the nearby engineering unit." Inside the exoskeleton, the AI ​​repeated coldly again, "Soldier, please continue to perform the mission and search for the next target."

"Understood, hand over the disposal process. And continue to execute the task." The soldier said, commanded the AI ​​​​to automatically execute the handover process, and then began to observe the surrounding conditions.

This seemed to be the last humanoid Yellowstone in the vicinity, and his companions had almost finished the battle. The streets were filled with fragments of Yellowstone piled up like trenches.

"Nishi-Shinjuku 49-chome, Block 98-[-], the seventh wave of suppression has been completed. Visual and radar confirms that there are no hostile or disposal targets in the block." So, the soldier who was the leader of this team ordered, "The engineer kills start."

Soon, armored vehicles carrying engineers came from the rear line of defense.

The engineer-type exoskeleton armor, which was thicker and more powerful than ordinary soldiers and carried more engineering machinery, jumped out of the car and began to spray special anti-activation preparations on the large piles of yellowstone debris.

wow——

"Friendly target." Suddenly, the AI ​​sounded a prompt.

Next, he was a little surprised to see—it turned out to be from the direction where the Yellowstone came, and from the inside of Shinjuku—a soldier wearing a stealth-type streamlined exoskeleton came.

But the soldier's habit made him quickly give up his curiosity, and just saluted him based on the identity of the other party displayed on the HUD: "Sir Arthur, what can I do for you?"

"Is this your defense line?"

"Yes."

"Due to the secret combat status, I am not connected to the tactical data link now. Please call Commander Saeki for me and ask him to come here to see me. My identity authentication key is F9D7H7."

"Yes!"

……

Soon, another exoskeleton soldier hurried over and greeted the soldier: "Arthur - I found you!!"

Although it was all covered in the exoskeleton, Arthur also confirmed the opponent's name tag from the HUD: "...Saeki, you have worked hard during this period of command. How is the situation in each block?"

Saeki tacitly did not ask what Arthur had done during the period when he was missing on the battlefield. He just shook his head and said what he asked about: "It would be better to say that except for you, everything is not very good. Mainly because other places are not doing well." There are many U-shaped haunts..."

"I know, it's the kind of giant centipede that burrows into the ground with hundreds of humanoid figures fused together."

"Yes, anyway, as soon as we hit that one, the attrition rate of each MTF team was more than [-]%. After all, this operation was rushed. It would be good to have biochemical protection, but they are basically light armor... In short, Shin-Okubo, Shimochiai, Takada Baba can still barely maintain the front line, and Kagurazaka and Wakamatsu Kawada will probably be breached in half an hour at most."

After Saeki finished his report, he shook his head and complained: "I just don't understand. It's obvious at a glance that Kabukicho is the core of the ceremony. Why don't we take action?"

"The battle line won't be able to advance for a while." Arthur agreed absently.

"What about the airborne assault troops?"

"Who knows, just follow the orders."

Seeing that Arthur seemed to be in a bad mood, Saeki said no more and just handed him a tablet: "The new instructions from above are given directly to you. I have no authority to act on your behalf."

Arthur opened it and took a look, and his expression suddenly changed.

"That's the explanation for not sending an airborne assault." He glanced at the details of the order again and said solemnly.

"Oh?"

"——According to the original plan, carry out an air raid on Shinjuku.

"The first wave of air strikes used three-piece modular capsules code-named A, C and G. They were launched from their respective warehouses and arrived in Shinjuku 7 minutes later.

"The second wave of air strikes has been notified to the Yokosuka base, and a squadron of fighters carrying anti-aircraft missiles will arrive over Shinjuku in twelve minutes.

"The last wave of air strikes...'Sickle B' was launched from Novosibirsk as originally planned and arrived in Shinjuku 10 minutes later.

Saeki didn't understand for a moment: "Wait a minute... Hasn't Oro Aoi's operation been cancelled?!!"

"That's why we emphasized that this air strike was 'according to the original plan'."

Saeki finally reacted, and his face suddenly turned pale. "Hey...wait a minute, forget about the three sleeping girls and the fighter group in front, even the 'Sickle B' - that man thinks that there is no need to regret the prepared plan, and is determined to take his daughter and Shinjuku Are we going to blow up to the sky together?"

"Don't say that. The situation is no longer the same." Arthur glanced at the attached technical solution a few more times and sighed, "To stop the spread of infection, this solution is indeed the most suitable."

After a moment of silence, he murmured to himself: "It's so suitable...it seems like it was planned from the beginning."

But before he could say anything else, the ground suddenly shook.

Arthur was also thrown into the air and watched helplessly as the soldier in the distance who had just dealt with him was instantly crushed by a giant crystal centipede that suddenly emerged from the ground.

"It's U-shaped!!! Attack!! Attack!!"

The soldiers shouted at the top of their lungs and went into battle.
