Chapter 396 The Future
Chapter 396 The Future
Kabukicho, the square in front of Toho Cinema.
Final ceremony location.
The cries and noises of Huangshi in the surrounding area, as well as the gunshots and engine roars of the group's suppression forces, continued to be heard from afar.
But only around this square, there is a dead silence.
Mountains of yellow stones are piled up all over the square, like veins of minerals growing everywhere.But under the yellow stone, which is as bright as blooming, one can vaguely see the faces of a small part of countless "substrates".
The closer you get to the center of the square, the more and higher the yellow stones accumulate, forming a huge altar in the shape of a flat-topped pyramid.
From the details, from the uneven lines of the altar and the numerous protrusions like backbones on the surface, we may be able to see a clue - as if there were once several huge "U-shapes" interacting with each other here. The twisting forms the "skeleton" of the altar, and then countless "H-shaped" climb up to "fill" the gaps with themselves.
In this way, this huge altar was built that towered over the entire square.From the periphery to the center, the height of the altar gradually increases. At the center, it is almost ten meters above the ground.
The entire altar made of stacked red crystal stones emits a strange and soft light from the center of the bottom, from the inside to the outside.
The towering tall buildings surrounding it are like guards, silently and tightly guarding the altar.
——Under the moonlight, among the shadows cast by the surrounding tall buildings, three shadows were reflected on the top of the altar.
One of them belongs to the throne in the center of the altar, which is also made of spar.
Starting from the foot of the altar on the edge of the square, the steps extend one by one, both towards the center and upwards, finally leading to the throne.
On the right side of the throne is a spacious coffin that can accommodate several people lying side by side.
In the open space between the throne and the coffin, there is a puppet wearing a pumpkin head.
It was as if the dead square below was filled with invisible spectators, which were happily dancing a strange dance.
"Everyone, everyone! Here, I will perform a play for you. It is a masterpiece from Petrius Bonus, called - "Pretiosa Margarita Novella"!!"
"A long time ago, there was a king who was called the arbitrary gold. The ministers and the prince of Mercury asked him to share power but were refused. So the prince assassinated the king, collected the king's blood, and dug a grave for him...
Under the moon, this is the only moving thing in the entire square.
I don't know how long it took before another broken figure appeared from the end of the street.
She moved slowly with staggering steps. It was hard to imagine that she could walk through the wandering streets of Huangshi and move here step by step.
But she didn't know how long it took, but she finally reached the edge of the square and stood at the beginning of the steps leading to the top of the altar.
Pumpkin Head didn't know if he had seen the figure under the steps.But it was only then that it stopped its original dance and lines.
Then it stood on tiptoes in an exaggerated manner, set up a awning in front of the huge pumpkin head, and made a gesture of looking down, expressing its surprise to the figure below: "Hey, yeah, yeah!!! Aoi—— Isn’t this the beautiful and powerful Aoi? Oh, I’ve been worried about whether Aoi can make it here alive.”
"Hey, look at you, why are you in such a mess?"
"The body that was once beautiful is now broken here and there, and the stuffing is leaking out. It's almost like a rag doll that I throw away as trash after I get tired of playing with it."
"Even an entire arm is missing, and I don't know where it was lost—"
But it soon raised its tone, as if it was optimistic and exciting: "But - it's okay!!! Because wait a minute, Aoi will abandon this body and replace it with the tough and eternal Philosopher's Stone. So even if No matter how bad it is, it doesn’t matter...hahaha..."
Zhe Lukui ignored it at all.
She didn't even look up, she just started moving up the steps one by one.
In the quiet square under the moonlight, only the words of the pumpkin-headed puppet, asking questions and answering questions in a strange voice, chattering endlessly, mixed with crazy laughter from time to time, echoed.
It even began to be accompanied by body language, as if expressing his distressed emotions: "Uh, that's what I said, but your body is to be traded to us..."
"Okay, who said that in the original deal, we didn't agree that the body should be kept intact when it was handed over? It's our fault, it's our fault!!"
Then, it rushed to the left side of the top of the steps, stretched out its right hand to make a "please" gesture, and pointed its arm towards the throne: "Anyway, please come up!!"
Oroku Aoi continued to ignore the late invitation and continued walking.
She walks very slowly now.
very slow.
It's almost as if every step you take, you have to pause for a moment.
Her face was covered in blood, and although she still seemed to maintain a calm expression, every time she moved, the muscles under her skin could be seen instinctively twitching.
But at the same time, in the deep-set eye sockets, there was a strong and unstable emotion burning at the bottom of the pupils, like a storm.
It seems that it will explode the next moment, or it will extinguish the next moment.
The pumpkin-headed doll is fixed in a bent and inviting posture, always waiting.
When the full moon passed through the first palace in the sky, the bruised girl finally stepped onto the last step and reached the top of the altar.
"What is the last step of the ceremony?" She said in a weak voice, unwilling to say more or lacked the energy to say a single useless word.
Pumpkinhead jumped up from his fixed position and made an even more exaggerated gesture: "Oh! That is exactly - the masterpiece of Peter Bonus, called "Pretiosa Margarita Novella" - 'Expensive New treasure'."
"……specific."
So the pumpkin head made a gesture of invitation towards the throne over there: "Please sit on the throne and play the role of the king. Then, the 'prince' will step forward and pierce your heart and kill you - hehehe Hee, ahahaha——"
Zhe Lukui didn't move, just stood there and stared deeply at the pumpkin head.
Pumpkinhead coughed pretentiously, and then explained: "...Don't worry, it's just a symbolic ceremony.
“It won’t really kill you.
"After all, what we want is your body, not a dead body."
Perhaps because she had been fighting the pain for too long and was too tired, Zhe Lukui gradually lowered her eyelids and murmured to herself: "It doesn't matter. You can try. Anyway... no one can kill... in my destiny." I."
Then, she took heavy steps and continued to move towards the throne step by step.
Pumpkinhead danced silently behind.
Finally, the girl who had been trekking all night with her tattered body finally sat down on the throne.
The moment she leaned back and her back finally found support, even though the hard and cold spar chair beneath her had nothing to do with "comfort", the girl still let out a long breath and almost let out a trembling cry.
……
……
……
Hui Yuanchu looked up at the throne and saw a little boy with his appearance sitting cross-legged.
The three dark figures, with only clear pupils glowing with golden light, were surrounding him like stars over the moon.
The shadow with the form of a girl is [Eros].
The black shadow huddled under the throne, turned to Haiyuan Chu and smiled: "I'm sorry? Chu-chan, after all, it's closer here, right?"
The shadow of the adult woman is [Ai Luo], standing behind the little boy like a general, staring at Hui Yuanchu with undisguised hostility, revealing her shark teeth: "...If you don't want to be my father's carrier, then you can useless."
The shadow [Astavo], who also had the figure of a toddler, took one of the little boy's hands, stood a little further away, and said to Hui Yuanchu: "That's it, as you can see, the teacher jumped backwards. "
The little boy sat cross-legged happily, holding his chin, looking down at Hui Yuanchu from the throne: "Just like this, they will also leave you...
"So, are you really going to stop giving it a second thought? Be me."
Hui Yuanchu said without hesitation: "No. I refuse."
"……why?"
"...Because I can do it." Hui Yuanchu raised his head and looked at the being on the throne, "Yada Baduo is a blind and foolish existence. He can only respond to wishes, but has no wishes of his own.
"So...Attabaddo doesn't actually exist.
"There are only those who become Yaldabadu because they want to be Yaldabadu." Hui Yuanchu raised his hand and pointed at the little boy on the throne, "Similarly, in fact, you are not Yaldabadu. It's just in my mind. In this world...the embodiment of my wish to become Atalabadu. I decided to call you...'the reflection of flesh and blood'."
"Well said..." The "Flesh Reflection" on the throne still laughed, "So——"
"So, doesn't my existence represent 'Ashe's original desire to become Jaldabaoth'? So why?" He tilted his head like a real little boy and asked with an innocent expression, "Why, you will What if you have the idea of giving up yourself and becoming Atalabadu?"
"That kind of thing..." Hui Yuanchu said as he stretched out his hand.The legendary sword appeared and was held tightly in his hand.
Then he raised his sword and rushed towards the throne: "I will defeat you first, and then I will tell you!!"
"Do you really think that this level of will is enough?" The flesh and blood reflected with a smile, just said, "My children... let's get rid of him."
The delicate smile gradually transformed into a terrifying and weird roar, and the three pairs of golden pupils disappeared.
……
……
……
Pumpkin Head watched Zhe Lukui sit on the throne.
Then it tilted its huge head and suddenly asked: "I have been thinking about what is the so-called 'destiny' that has been protecting Aoi?
"'Fate' as we know it is not a good thing.
"She's obsessed with the roller coaster of dramatic twists and turns, using it as a tool to manipulate people's hearts, driving them further down the drain and away from enlightenment...
"Yes, speaking of it, fate is like the director of a play.
"She dictates every detail of the drama with her perverted desire to control, and always takes action to correct developments that are not in line with her wishes. Just like... Aoi, no one can kill you. Once someone has murderous intentions towards you, something will always happen. Don't let them do it,
"So I suddenly had an idea: Could it be that in the script of fate, it's not that you won't die, but that you have to wait for a grand enough place and a shocking enough reversal before you die?
"So I was thinking - if I really prepare enough gorgeous sets and exciting enough foreplay, can the director decide, 'Okay, this is it! The murderer will be you!'"
"So..." The light in the pumpkin head's eye sockets lit up.
The girl lowered her head, as if she could no longer hold on anymore: "Nonsense, don't... hurry up... continue the ceremony."
"Okay. Anyway, don't worry about the nonsense I just said. I just want you to rest for a while... Aoi." Pumpkin Head replied lightly, and then his tone became lively again, "Okay, then - as you wish, the ceremony, Officially begin!!
"The masterpiece of Peter Bonus, "The Costly New Treasure" officially opens!! - The Regicide, the Prince of Mercury, enters!!"
Hearing the announcement, Zhe Lukui raised her eyelids and glanced down.
At the bottom of the long steps in front of the throne, a figure shrouded in a cloak really appeared.
Zhe Lukui's eyes suddenly widened, and she gritted her teeth and pushed herself up from the throne.
"...That person is not the gardener." She leaned her upper body forward, trying to see the figure clearly, and suddenly murmured to herself.
"Yes, no. After all, the ceremony has not reached that stage yet. Our great mentor always arrives at critical moments." Pumpkin Head replied readily, "This one is just an extra I invited... No need. Don't worry about it, just continue the ceremony."
The prince, whose face was hidden in the shadows, climbed up the steps step by step.
His face also changes with the light and shadow, first the chin, then the mouth, gradually emerging from the shadow of the hood.
Zhe Lukui's back became tighter and tighter.
She seemed to have forgotten all the pain, and her eyes closely followed the figure walking up the steps quickly, rising inch by inch.
The look on his face seemed to be so disbelieving that he was confused.
Finally, when the prince finally stood in front of her, looking down at the girl sitting on the throne.
The girl's expression at this time was the kind that had never been shown to anyone before. She no longer had any pretense, and was so natural that she looked a little silly.She looked up at him with that expression.
Then, excited whimpers began to come out of her throat, and her body began to tremble.
The visitor looked at her like this, chuckled a few times, and simply took off his hood.
Huiyuan's face was completely exposed under the moonlight, and was gilded with silver edges.
"Koi, I'm here to pick you up." His tone and the expression on his face also contained a bit of emotion after traveling through thousands of mountains and rivers. At the same time, he bent down and stretched out his arms towards the girl, as if he was about to pull her over. She hugs.
Zorukui also maintained that silly expression on her face.
But her body moved without thinking.She also stretched out her broken arm with an empty front end towards the young man who was coming, wanting to hug——
——The smile on "Hui Yuanchu's" face suddenly turned into a ferocious smile.
He fully raised his arms from under the long sleeves wrapped in his cloak, revealing the silver blade in his hand.The silver blade that suddenly accelerated flashed under the moon - and then silently sank into Zhe Lukui's heart.
At this time, Orokui continued to look at his face with a stupid expression.
……
……
……
Three pairs of golden pupils disappeared.
The next moment, from the direction of the orange-haired young girl, like willow branches fluttering from a big tree, dozens of pink and tender flesh whiskers flung out from the darkness.
But the fleshy whiskers didn't shoot at Hui Yuanchu, but flung them towards the fleshy reflection from the very beginning, and tightly entangled his legs the moment they touched.
From the position of the silver-haired mature woman, darkness stretched out a shape that seemed to be composed of different parts of a thousand-headed beast.
At the same moment when the fleshy tendrils entangled the fleshy reflection, the black beast also cooperated with the tacit understanding and used countless jagged claws and teeth to bite the little boy's body in the fleshy reflection from the neck and shoulders to the head.
After a moment of slowness, finally, a snake with no head and no tail, seemingly in an infinite loop, swam out of the darkness.
It swam around the flesh and blood reflection's hands for an instant, then tightened suddenly, binding the flesh and blood reflection's hands.At that moment, the scales on the snake's body opened and closed like breathing—under each scale, an eyeball with an evil smile appeared.
In an instant, the flesh and blood reflection was restrained by three foreign objects.
Immediately afterwards - Hui Yuanchu arrived just in time.
The legendary sword suddenly pierced the heart of the flesh reflection, pierced his body, and instantly nailed him to the throne.
"... Oh?" The little boy's face was flat, and his reaction seemed a little slow.
Although he has been completely trapped by three kinds of foreign objects and the legendary sword.
Unable to move, but it seems, has not yet received fatal injuries.
Hui Yuan initially let go of his sword, then took a step back.
"What's your...reason?" the flesh-and-blood reflection continued to ask calmly.
The tendrils of flesh swayed and trembled like willow branches, and the will came from the darkness: "Actually, I like Hatsu-chan better!!!"
From the deep throat of the beast's mouth, a growl-like reply came: "You are just a fake, an imitation, a substitute for my father... I'm tired of playing."
The scales on the snake's body were opened again, and countless eyeballs under the countless scales were rolling in the mucus, casting evil gazes: "Does the Lord of Betrayal need a reason for his betrayal?"
……
……
……
After a moment that seemed to freeze, blood began to gush out from Zelukui's mouth like a fountain.
Quickly, the girl's eyes completely sobered up.
"——Doll." She spat out two words.
Then, for some reason, his eyes still contained a little regret, but they gradually dimmed.
"Hui Yuanchu" continued to stretch out his other hand, grabbed Zhe Lukui's neck, lifted her up, then walked steadily to the coffin aside, and put her down steadily.
The girl's heart and mouth continued to bleed, but she no longer had the strength to move a finger, and was completely powerless to struggle.
So, "Hui Yuanchu" stood in the large coffin, looking down at the girl whose breath was fading beneath him.
Behind him, Pumpkin Head was still jumping up and down excitedly, howling: "Oh oh!!! The prince of mercury killed the king of gold!! The prince of mercury killed the king of gold!!"
Then the pumpkin head's movements suddenly stopped, the last glimmer of light flashed out of its eye holes, and then he fell down.
Instead, "Hai Yuanchu" continued to laugh wildly and continued to howl seamlessly: "The prince of mercury killed the king of gold...I killed Zorukui!! Hahahahaha!!"
Smiling, his chin fell down with a "click", leaving only the last piece attached - the movable chin like a doll.
"Fate, finally thinks that Aoi deserves to die!
“Destiny approved of my performance!
“Fate has chosen me to be the murderer!!
"Huiyuanchu" was completely unaware of his dropped chin. Instead, he began to shake his chin rapidly "kekeke" and at the same time made a weird sound from his belly: "It's coming, it's coming!!!! I've been waiting for it for so long!" The show, the main event, is finally about to begin!!”
The puppet roared crazily, then bent down and picked up the chain saw that had been hidden in the corner of the coffin all morning. ——The engine started with a "whoosh" sound.
"Go to hell with any Philosopher's Stone or any deal! Now, I just want to tear you into pieces!!!"
——Crash, eight more mechanical hands came out from the back of the doll, each holding a variety of torture instruments.
……
……
……
Hui Yuanchu formed two swords in his left and right hands, and once again approached the tightly bound flesh and blood reflection.
This time it was not the "Legend Sword", but a scalpel.
With a slight wave of the scalpel, a little finger reflected in flesh and blood flew out.
After leaving the body, this piece of flesh and blood turned into a cloud of gray mist in mid-air before it even hit the ground, and then quickly dissipated.
The reflection of flesh and blood was still not a little anxious, and said steadily: "Well, that's right, just weaken me like this. Cut off my existence piece by piece... It's not like piercing the heart, but this is the only way to completely expel me. Way."
"But -" he added, "have you really figured it out? Why, you don't want to be me."
"Of course I know."
Hui Yuanchu's voice was steadier than that of the flesh and blood shadow, and so was the knife, cutting steadily on the flesh and blood shadow's arm.
"As for the question of 'who am I'... I struggled with it for a while, but it didn't take long. Soon I figured out that 'it was Hui Yuan who was in Aizuru Rukui'."
——Thumb, index finger.
"But the problem isn't here...it's with Aoi."
"The one who is destined to kill the Demon King is the 'brave'. Not a country boy. The Demon King has a reason to wait for the hero, but he has no reason to wait for me... This is only reasonable."
——Palm, wrist.
"That's why you, the 'flesh and blood reflection'... were born in my spiritual world on that Christmas Eve."
"Because at that time, Arthur told me: Aoi had actually been in contact with the 'Gray Original' before I traveled through time. So I understood immediately... My body obtained the flesh and blood of Adabaduo. From the beginning, It’s Aoi’s arrangement.”
"The Demon King turned a country boy into a brave man...because she needs a brave man."
"So I must be a brave man."
"I realized...I had to be brave."
——The other hand is processed at the elbow.
When he got here, Hui Yuanchu stopped for a while, and seemed to think about it: "Otherwise, if I don't become a hero, Aoi won't need me anymore, what should I do?"
"No, I can't leave Aoi."
Then he shook his head.
"But...I don't want to lose myself either. No one wants to lose themselves."
"No matter what - 'Okay, if what Aoi needs is Atalabaduo, then I will give up my ego' - it is impossible for anyone to easily confirm such an idea?"
"So this is what I'm worried about. At this point, I really struggled with it for a long time."
Hui Yuanchu suddenly laughed.
"——Finally, thank you Hui Ren, she gave me another answer."
"Isn't it...that I have another choice?"
The scalpel in Hui Yuanchu's hand suddenly turned into a chain saw, and suddenly fell heavily, but he caught it in time.
"I'm willing to fulfill any wish of Aoi, and I'm even willing to die for her. It doesn't matter...but it has to be me, it has to be 'me'!! It has to be 'her'! It's me who will be sacrificed, die for her. It’s me! It’s for ‘her’!! What she needs must be me!!”
"But if what she wants is not me, and she wants me to die, she just wants me to make way for someone else -"
"——I refuse!!!" Hui Yuanchu shouted, fiercely pulled the oil rope, and started the chain saw with a "buzz" sound.
The countless eyeballs on the snake's body blinked, as if smiling, and at the same time, they tacitly and knowingly tightened the restraints on the flesh and blood reflection, helping Hui Yuanchu deal with his thighs.
Huiyuan struggled to pick up the chainsaw, and then cut it hard, his roar gradually becoming like the roar of a wild beast: "I understand! I completely understand! A way to neither lose yourself nor lose Aoi!!!" "
"I don't have to worry about whether what Aoi needs is Yadabaduo - because in the end, I just need to use any means to force her - all I need is Hui Yuanchu -" Hui Yuanchu laughed wildly, "That's it, okay!! !!”
Amidst the roar of the chain saw, gray mist flew everywhere.
In the darkness, the three beings were excited and shouted in unison: "Kill it! Cut it! Let this shadow completely turn into nothingness!"
……
……
……
There was a pain in his knuckles that had become somewhat numb.
But it was still a guide: guiding her to think of things related to fingers in her already chaotic thoughts - oh, that was when she reached out to hug him, so she reached out to the back of his neck.At that moment - the moment when skin came into contact for the first time, her whole body felt like an electric shock.
But as the feeling at the fingertips suddenly became empty, the memory seemed to gradually fade away.
She thought, it doesn't matter, she should have forgotten it long ago.
Next, it was the fishy smell in her mouth that reminded her.
It turned out that her first intimate contact with him had come earlier than that time.It was actually just an accident, right after the hug, for a very utilitarian reason.
The strange thing is that she often dreamed about it later.At that moment, there was no one in the dream, only the scalding temperature.
The hot one was herself.
But this memory soon disappeared along with the feeling of numbness.
She didn't care, she just felt more relaxed.
There was a light touch on the leg and I couldn't feel it anymore.Then she remembered that he had been lying on her lap...the memory was still fresh.
Later, he finally touched her face.Unfortunately, at this time, all that appeared on his face was pain.She recalled how she felt at that time...very warm, like, very warm.
Later, she held his head and cried for a long time.
Later, she stepped on his foot, but as a reward.
after that……
...Every time the body is peeled away from "her" bit by bit, the relevant memories will be lit up and then disappear.
Finally, after she had nothing to lose and just had to wait quietly for the darkness to finally come, she suddenly had a wish.
She used her last strength to open her eyes, and saw the figure who was not him, but was the same as him.
Then, watching the three spiraling meteors across the sky, she had one last thought.
a wish.
……
……
……
Suddenly, Hui Yuanchu stopped.
He raised his head and stared at the sky, as if he saw something through the purple depths.
In the surrounding darkness, three groups of indescribable and excited people were surging, shouting: "No, don't stop, don't stop! Stop now, you will lose, and we will lose too! Kill him, kill him!" "
The flesh-and-blood reflection also smiled.
He remained at ease throughout the process of being dismembered.
Just humming quietly.
"One day, the prince of mercury killed the king of gold...the prince of mercury killed the king of gold..."
At this point, he stopped singing.
Only half of his face was left, but he could still look at Hui Yuanchu with a loving look that was completely inconsistent with his appearance, and asked softly: "My child, why did you stop?"
"Obviously, you are only one final blow away from me and you can completely kill me."
Hui Yuanchu continued to pant and stare into the darkness, and murmured, "Because, because I saw...Kui——"
And Flesh Reflection continued to say slowly: "That's right, you saw that what she needs is Hui Yuanchu."
"But Hui Yuanchu was just a stranger who had no ability and could only watch her die."
"...Only Adabado can realize her wish."
Hui Yuanchu continued to turn his head and stare at the purple depths of the sky, shouting: "Give me your power!"
"Then you will become me." The flesh and blood reflection smiled, "So you were planning to kill me just now, right? But now, you have changed your mind?"
Hui Yuan was silent at first.
The flesh and blood reflection continued: "Anyway... do you want to save her? Then pray. As long as your wish is strong enough, I can help you realize it."
"Time doesn't actually exist."
"Life and death do not exist."
"So... you can make a decision slowly." The flesh reflection said with a smile, waiting, "As long as you make a decision, everything will be decided."
But Hui Yuan didn't think about it for long.
After a moment, he lowered his sword hand.
He looked down at the little boy, calmly stretched out his other empty hand and said, "...Give it to me."
After a moment of stagnation, the kings who entangled and restrained their flesh and blood reflections from the darkness first responded to Hui Yuanchu's wish.
Smooth and soft fleshy whiskers soaked with mucus, furry but irregularly knotted claws with skeletal muscles, and a snake body with an eyeball exposed after each scale is opened... The three categories are tightly bound to flesh and blood. The aliens in the reflection let go of the little boy and retreated into the darkness.
Then they left.
It was like finishing a game, laughing, cursing and ridiculing, but leaving the darkness without any regrets.
In the end, all they left behind was a clear message addressed to someone unknown.
"This one, you win. But next time, wait and see."
Only Hui Yuanchu and the little boy were left in front of the throne. They each stretched out their hands and were about to hold them——
……
……
……
The dolls are still having a merry feast.
But the feast is drawing to a close.
So it started humming a song and carried out the final cleaning work inside the coffin.
But suddenly, the doll froze.
It gradually stretched out its hands, hugged its head, and said in a mechanical voice: "Wait, I--"
"What am I doing??"
"Why - why would I do this - dirty, primal - jealousy?"
"Erosion, uncontrollable, warning, firewall, breach...self-destruct program...cancelled."
"No, no, no... no, no, no!" The puppet suddenly dropped the chainsaw in fear, "Wait a minute, wait a minute!!!"
It didn't care about anything at once, and just knelt down in the flesh and blood with a plop.
Then, it began to take a deep breath.
But the doll doesn't actually need to breathe.
So soon, it stopped breathing.It just seemed to be frozen in place, with his hands on his face, motionless.
From its belly, the doll chanted numbly without any emotion:
"Can't love."
"Can't hate."
"Don't be jealous."
"Don't be proud."
"Can't……"
The speech stops here.
The puppet knelt on the spot in silence, covering its face for a long time.
After a long time, it released a relaxed breathing sound from its belly: "Huh—"
"Hehe...Hai-chan? Get up, bed,!!"
At the same time, a weird and delicate voice of unknown origin came out from the throat.
But the doll itself seemed completely unaware.
It just relaxed, slowly and little by little removed the hand covering its face, and looked down.
A finger of a dying girl,
The girl is broken.
So that finger just happened to fall there, just right...but just right, as if it was lightly and tenderly touching the puppet's leg.
Then the puppet raised its head with the same slow movement.
The girl is actually dead.
An ordinary person would naturally have died long ago.
But her last action before she died was to turn her face and look at it with her last strength.
On the remaining half of the face, the eyes that had lost their light had not yet been closed, as if they were frozen in the last sight before dying.
...is gentle.
There was unexpectedly no hatred in it, only tenderness.
It's like seeing another person through a doll, looking forward to another person.
To that person, she conveyed her last wish.
The puppet opened its mouth, shook its chin crazily, and roared in fear.
As if it was afraid of disturbing something, it said in a weak mosquito-like voice: "Teacher, help me, I——"
——【】
The time has come.An irresistible will descended from the deep sky.
The doll's head exploded instantly.
From its broken head and neck, endless tentacles of flesh and blood poured out like a tide, exploding the plastic body in a blink of an eye, but they still did not stop, continuing to pour out from the same place, pouring out, and drowned in an instant swallowed up the entire coffin and swallowed up all the remains of the girl...
But then, the flood of flesh and blood continued.
They continue to spread towards the surrounding area.Whether they were living people or dead people, buildings or yellow stones, they were all swallowed up by this torrent.
(End of this chapter)
Kabukicho, the square in front of Toho Cinema.
Final ceremony location.
The cries and noises of Huangshi in the surrounding area, as well as the gunshots and engine roars of the group's suppression forces, continued to be heard from afar.
But only around this square, there is a dead silence.
Mountains of yellow stones are piled up all over the square, like veins of minerals growing everywhere.But under the yellow stone, which is as bright as blooming, one can vaguely see the faces of a small part of countless "substrates".
The closer you get to the center of the square, the more and higher the yellow stones accumulate, forming a huge altar in the shape of a flat-topped pyramid.
From the details, from the uneven lines of the altar and the numerous protrusions like backbones on the surface, we may be able to see a clue - as if there were once several huge "U-shapes" interacting with each other here. The twisting forms the "skeleton" of the altar, and then countless "H-shaped" climb up to "fill" the gaps with themselves.
In this way, this huge altar was built that towered over the entire square.From the periphery to the center, the height of the altar gradually increases. At the center, it is almost ten meters above the ground.
The entire altar made of stacked red crystal stones emits a strange and soft light from the center of the bottom, from the inside to the outside.
The towering tall buildings surrounding it are like guards, silently and tightly guarding the altar.
——Under the moonlight, among the shadows cast by the surrounding tall buildings, three shadows were reflected on the top of the altar.
One of them belongs to the throne in the center of the altar, which is also made of spar.
Starting from the foot of the altar on the edge of the square, the steps extend one by one, both towards the center and upwards, finally leading to the throne.
On the right side of the throne is a spacious coffin that can accommodate several people lying side by side.
In the open space between the throne and the coffin, there is a puppet wearing a pumpkin head.
It was as if the dead square below was filled with invisible spectators, which were happily dancing a strange dance.
"Everyone, everyone! Here, I will perform a play for you. It is a masterpiece from Petrius Bonus, called - "Pretiosa Margarita Novella"!!"
"A long time ago, there was a king who was called the arbitrary gold. The ministers and the prince of Mercury asked him to share power but were refused. So the prince assassinated the king, collected the king's blood, and dug a grave for him...
Under the moon, this is the only moving thing in the entire square.
I don't know how long it took before another broken figure appeared from the end of the street.
She moved slowly with staggering steps. It was hard to imagine that she could walk through the wandering streets of Huangshi and move here step by step.
But she didn't know how long it took, but she finally reached the edge of the square and stood at the beginning of the steps leading to the top of the altar.
Pumpkin Head didn't know if he had seen the figure under the steps.But it was only then that it stopped its original dance and lines.
Then it stood on tiptoes in an exaggerated manner, set up a awning in front of the huge pumpkin head, and made a gesture of looking down, expressing its surprise to the figure below: "Hey, yeah, yeah!!! Aoi—— Isn’t this the beautiful and powerful Aoi? Oh, I’ve been worried about whether Aoi can make it here alive.”
"Hey, look at you, why are you in such a mess?"
"The body that was once beautiful is now broken here and there, and the stuffing is leaking out. It's almost like a rag doll that I throw away as trash after I get tired of playing with it."
"Even an entire arm is missing, and I don't know where it was lost—"
But it soon raised its tone, as if it was optimistic and exciting: "But - it's okay!!! Because wait a minute, Aoi will abandon this body and replace it with the tough and eternal Philosopher's Stone. So even if No matter how bad it is, it doesn’t matter...hahaha..."
Zhe Lukui ignored it at all.
She didn't even look up, she just started moving up the steps one by one.
In the quiet square under the moonlight, only the words of the pumpkin-headed puppet, asking questions and answering questions in a strange voice, chattering endlessly, mixed with crazy laughter from time to time, echoed.
It even began to be accompanied by body language, as if expressing his distressed emotions: "Uh, that's what I said, but your body is to be traded to us..."
"Okay, who said that in the original deal, we didn't agree that the body should be kept intact when it was handed over? It's our fault, it's our fault!!"
Then, it rushed to the left side of the top of the steps, stretched out its right hand to make a "please" gesture, and pointed its arm towards the throne: "Anyway, please come up!!"
Oroku Aoi continued to ignore the late invitation and continued walking.
She walks very slowly now.
very slow.
It's almost as if every step you take, you have to pause for a moment.
Her face was covered in blood, and although she still seemed to maintain a calm expression, every time she moved, the muscles under her skin could be seen instinctively twitching.
But at the same time, in the deep-set eye sockets, there was a strong and unstable emotion burning at the bottom of the pupils, like a storm.
It seems that it will explode the next moment, or it will extinguish the next moment.
The pumpkin-headed doll is fixed in a bent and inviting posture, always waiting.
When the full moon passed through the first palace in the sky, the bruised girl finally stepped onto the last step and reached the top of the altar.
"What is the last step of the ceremony?" She said in a weak voice, unwilling to say more or lacked the energy to say a single useless word.
Pumpkinhead jumped up from his fixed position and made an even more exaggerated gesture: "Oh! That is exactly - the masterpiece of Peter Bonus, called "Pretiosa Margarita Novella" - 'Expensive New treasure'."
"……specific."
So the pumpkin head made a gesture of invitation towards the throne over there: "Please sit on the throne and play the role of the king. Then, the 'prince' will step forward and pierce your heart and kill you - hehehe Hee, ahahaha——"
Zhe Lukui didn't move, just stood there and stared deeply at the pumpkin head.
Pumpkinhead coughed pretentiously, and then explained: "...Don't worry, it's just a symbolic ceremony.
“It won’t really kill you.
"After all, what we want is your body, not a dead body."
Perhaps because she had been fighting the pain for too long and was too tired, Zhe Lukui gradually lowered her eyelids and murmured to herself: "It doesn't matter. You can try. Anyway... no one can kill... in my destiny." I."
Then, she took heavy steps and continued to move towards the throne step by step.
Pumpkinhead danced silently behind.
Finally, the girl who had been trekking all night with her tattered body finally sat down on the throne.
The moment she leaned back and her back finally found support, even though the hard and cold spar chair beneath her had nothing to do with "comfort", the girl still let out a long breath and almost let out a trembling cry.
……
……
……
Hui Yuanchu looked up at the throne and saw a little boy with his appearance sitting cross-legged.
The three dark figures, with only clear pupils glowing with golden light, were surrounding him like stars over the moon.
The shadow with the form of a girl is [Eros].
The black shadow huddled under the throne, turned to Haiyuan Chu and smiled: "I'm sorry? Chu-chan, after all, it's closer here, right?"
The shadow of the adult woman is [Ai Luo], standing behind the little boy like a general, staring at Hui Yuanchu with undisguised hostility, revealing her shark teeth: "...If you don't want to be my father's carrier, then you can useless."
The shadow [Astavo], who also had the figure of a toddler, took one of the little boy's hands, stood a little further away, and said to Hui Yuanchu: "That's it, as you can see, the teacher jumped backwards. "
The little boy sat cross-legged happily, holding his chin, looking down at Hui Yuanchu from the throne: "Just like this, they will also leave you...
"So, are you really going to stop giving it a second thought? Be me."
Hui Yuanchu said without hesitation: "No. I refuse."
"……why?"
"...Because I can do it." Hui Yuanchu raised his head and looked at the being on the throne, "Yada Baduo is a blind and foolish existence. He can only respond to wishes, but has no wishes of his own.
"So...Attabaddo doesn't actually exist.
"There are only those who become Yaldabadu because they want to be Yaldabadu." Hui Yuanchu raised his hand and pointed at the little boy on the throne, "Similarly, in fact, you are not Yaldabadu. It's just in my mind. In this world...the embodiment of my wish to become Atalabadu. I decided to call you...'the reflection of flesh and blood'."
"Well said..." The "Flesh Reflection" on the throne still laughed, "So——"
"So, doesn't my existence represent 'Ashe's original desire to become Jaldabaoth'? So why?" He tilted his head like a real little boy and asked with an innocent expression, "Why, you will What if you have the idea of giving up yourself and becoming Atalabadu?"
"That kind of thing..." Hui Yuanchu said as he stretched out his hand.The legendary sword appeared and was held tightly in his hand.
Then he raised his sword and rushed towards the throne: "I will defeat you first, and then I will tell you!!"
"Do you really think that this level of will is enough?" The flesh and blood reflected with a smile, just said, "My children... let's get rid of him."
The delicate smile gradually transformed into a terrifying and weird roar, and the three pairs of golden pupils disappeared.
……
……
……
Pumpkin Head watched Zhe Lukui sit on the throne.
Then it tilted its huge head and suddenly asked: "I have been thinking about what is the so-called 'destiny' that has been protecting Aoi?
"'Fate' as we know it is not a good thing.
"She's obsessed with the roller coaster of dramatic twists and turns, using it as a tool to manipulate people's hearts, driving them further down the drain and away from enlightenment...
"Yes, speaking of it, fate is like the director of a play.
"She dictates every detail of the drama with her perverted desire to control, and always takes action to correct developments that are not in line with her wishes. Just like... Aoi, no one can kill you. Once someone has murderous intentions towards you, something will always happen. Don't let them do it,
"So I suddenly had an idea: Could it be that in the script of fate, it's not that you won't die, but that you have to wait for a grand enough place and a shocking enough reversal before you die?
"So I was thinking - if I really prepare enough gorgeous sets and exciting enough foreplay, can the director decide, 'Okay, this is it! The murderer will be you!'"
"So..." The light in the pumpkin head's eye sockets lit up.
The girl lowered her head, as if she could no longer hold on anymore: "Nonsense, don't... hurry up... continue the ceremony."
"Okay. Anyway, don't worry about the nonsense I just said. I just want you to rest for a while... Aoi." Pumpkin Head replied lightly, and then his tone became lively again, "Okay, then - as you wish, the ceremony, Officially begin!!
"The masterpiece of Peter Bonus, "The Costly New Treasure" officially opens!! - The Regicide, the Prince of Mercury, enters!!"
Hearing the announcement, Zhe Lukui raised her eyelids and glanced down.
At the bottom of the long steps in front of the throne, a figure shrouded in a cloak really appeared.
Zhe Lukui's eyes suddenly widened, and she gritted her teeth and pushed herself up from the throne.
"...That person is not the gardener." She leaned her upper body forward, trying to see the figure clearly, and suddenly murmured to herself.
"Yes, no. After all, the ceremony has not reached that stage yet. Our great mentor always arrives at critical moments." Pumpkin Head replied readily, "This one is just an extra I invited... No need. Don't worry about it, just continue the ceremony."
The prince, whose face was hidden in the shadows, climbed up the steps step by step.
His face also changes with the light and shadow, first the chin, then the mouth, gradually emerging from the shadow of the hood.
Zhe Lukui's back became tighter and tighter.
She seemed to have forgotten all the pain, and her eyes closely followed the figure walking up the steps quickly, rising inch by inch.
The look on his face seemed to be so disbelieving that he was confused.
Finally, when the prince finally stood in front of her, looking down at the girl sitting on the throne.
The girl's expression at this time was the kind that had never been shown to anyone before. She no longer had any pretense, and was so natural that she looked a little silly.She looked up at him with that expression.
Then, excited whimpers began to come out of her throat, and her body began to tremble.
The visitor looked at her like this, chuckled a few times, and simply took off his hood.
Huiyuan's face was completely exposed under the moonlight, and was gilded with silver edges.
"Koi, I'm here to pick you up." His tone and the expression on his face also contained a bit of emotion after traveling through thousands of mountains and rivers. At the same time, he bent down and stretched out his arms towards the girl, as if he was about to pull her over. She hugs.
Zorukui also maintained that silly expression on her face.
But her body moved without thinking.She also stretched out her broken arm with an empty front end towards the young man who was coming, wanting to hug——
——The smile on "Hui Yuanchu's" face suddenly turned into a ferocious smile.
He fully raised his arms from under the long sleeves wrapped in his cloak, revealing the silver blade in his hand.The silver blade that suddenly accelerated flashed under the moon - and then silently sank into Zhe Lukui's heart.
At this time, Orokui continued to look at his face with a stupid expression.
……
……
……
Three pairs of golden pupils disappeared.
The next moment, from the direction of the orange-haired young girl, like willow branches fluttering from a big tree, dozens of pink and tender flesh whiskers flung out from the darkness.
But the fleshy whiskers didn't shoot at Hui Yuanchu, but flung them towards the fleshy reflection from the very beginning, and tightly entangled his legs the moment they touched.
From the position of the silver-haired mature woman, darkness stretched out a shape that seemed to be composed of different parts of a thousand-headed beast.
At the same moment when the fleshy tendrils entangled the fleshy reflection, the black beast also cooperated with the tacit understanding and used countless jagged claws and teeth to bite the little boy's body in the fleshy reflection from the neck and shoulders to the head.
After a moment of slowness, finally, a snake with no head and no tail, seemingly in an infinite loop, swam out of the darkness.
It swam around the flesh and blood reflection's hands for an instant, then tightened suddenly, binding the flesh and blood reflection's hands.At that moment, the scales on the snake's body opened and closed like breathing—under each scale, an eyeball with an evil smile appeared.
In an instant, the flesh and blood reflection was restrained by three foreign objects.
Immediately afterwards - Hui Yuanchu arrived just in time.
The legendary sword suddenly pierced the heart of the flesh reflection, pierced his body, and instantly nailed him to the throne.
"... Oh?" The little boy's face was flat, and his reaction seemed a little slow.
Although he has been completely trapped by three kinds of foreign objects and the legendary sword.
Unable to move, but it seems, has not yet received fatal injuries.
Hui Yuan initially let go of his sword, then took a step back.
"What's your...reason?" the flesh-and-blood reflection continued to ask calmly.
The tendrils of flesh swayed and trembled like willow branches, and the will came from the darkness: "Actually, I like Hatsu-chan better!!!"
From the deep throat of the beast's mouth, a growl-like reply came: "You are just a fake, an imitation, a substitute for my father... I'm tired of playing."
The scales on the snake's body were opened again, and countless eyeballs under the countless scales were rolling in the mucus, casting evil gazes: "Does the Lord of Betrayal need a reason for his betrayal?"
……
……
……
After a moment that seemed to freeze, blood began to gush out from Zelukui's mouth like a fountain.
Quickly, the girl's eyes completely sobered up.
"——Doll." She spat out two words.
Then, for some reason, his eyes still contained a little regret, but they gradually dimmed.
"Hui Yuanchu" continued to stretch out his other hand, grabbed Zhe Lukui's neck, lifted her up, then walked steadily to the coffin aside, and put her down steadily.
The girl's heart and mouth continued to bleed, but she no longer had the strength to move a finger, and was completely powerless to struggle.
So, "Hui Yuanchu" stood in the large coffin, looking down at the girl whose breath was fading beneath him.
Behind him, Pumpkin Head was still jumping up and down excitedly, howling: "Oh oh!!! The prince of mercury killed the king of gold!! The prince of mercury killed the king of gold!!"
Then the pumpkin head's movements suddenly stopped, the last glimmer of light flashed out of its eye holes, and then he fell down.
Instead, "Hai Yuanchu" continued to laugh wildly and continued to howl seamlessly: "The prince of mercury killed the king of gold...I killed Zorukui!! Hahahahaha!!"
Smiling, his chin fell down with a "click", leaving only the last piece attached - the movable chin like a doll.
"Fate, finally thinks that Aoi deserves to die!
“Destiny approved of my performance!
“Fate has chosen me to be the murderer!!
"Huiyuanchu" was completely unaware of his dropped chin. Instead, he began to shake his chin rapidly "kekeke" and at the same time made a weird sound from his belly: "It's coming, it's coming!!!! I've been waiting for it for so long!" The show, the main event, is finally about to begin!!”
The puppet roared crazily, then bent down and picked up the chain saw that had been hidden in the corner of the coffin all morning. ——The engine started with a "whoosh" sound.
"Go to hell with any Philosopher's Stone or any deal! Now, I just want to tear you into pieces!!!"
——Crash, eight more mechanical hands came out from the back of the doll, each holding a variety of torture instruments.
……
……
……
Hui Yuanchu formed two swords in his left and right hands, and once again approached the tightly bound flesh and blood reflection.
This time it was not the "Legend Sword", but a scalpel.
With a slight wave of the scalpel, a little finger reflected in flesh and blood flew out.
After leaving the body, this piece of flesh and blood turned into a cloud of gray mist in mid-air before it even hit the ground, and then quickly dissipated.
The reflection of flesh and blood was still not a little anxious, and said steadily: "Well, that's right, just weaken me like this. Cut off my existence piece by piece... It's not like piercing the heart, but this is the only way to completely expel me. Way."
"But -" he added, "have you really figured it out? Why, you don't want to be me."
"Of course I know."
Hui Yuanchu's voice was steadier than that of the flesh and blood shadow, and so was the knife, cutting steadily on the flesh and blood shadow's arm.
"As for the question of 'who am I'... I struggled with it for a while, but it didn't take long. Soon I figured out that 'it was Hui Yuan who was in Aizuru Rukui'."
——Thumb, index finger.
"But the problem isn't here...it's with Aoi."
"The one who is destined to kill the Demon King is the 'brave'. Not a country boy. The Demon King has a reason to wait for the hero, but he has no reason to wait for me... This is only reasonable."
——Palm, wrist.
"That's why you, the 'flesh and blood reflection'... were born in my spiritual world on that Christmas Eve."
"Because at that time, Arthur told me: Aoi had actually been in contact with the 'Gray Original' before I traveled through time. So I understood immediately... My body obtained the flesh and blood of Adabaduo. From the beginning, It’s Aoi’s arrangement.”
"The Demon King turned a country boy into a brave man...because she needs a brave man."
"So I must be a brave man."
"I realized...I had to be brave."
——The other hand is processed at the elbow.
When he got here, Hui Yuanchu stopped for a while, and seemed to think about it: "Otherwise, if I don't become a hero, Aoi won't need me anymore, what should I do?"
"No, I can't leave Aoi."
Then he shook his head.
"But...I don't want to lose myself either. No one wants to lose themselves."
"No matter what - 'Okay, if what Aoi needs is Atalabaduo, then I will give up my ego' - it is impossible for anyone to easily confirm such an idea?"
"So this is what I'm worried about. At this point, I really struggled with it for a long time."
Hui Yuanchu suddenly laughed.
"——Finally, thank you Hui Ren, she gave me another answer."
"Isn't it...that I have another choice?"
The scalpel in Hui Yuanchu's hand suddenly turned into a chain saw, and suddenly fell heavily, but he caught it in time.
"I'm willing to fulfill any wish of Aoi, and I'm even willing to die for her. It doesn't matter...but it has to be me, it has to be 'me'!! It has to be 'her'! It's me who will be sacrificed, die for her. It’s me! It’s for ‘her’!! What she needs must be me!!”
"But if what she wants is not me, and she wants me to die, she just wants me to make way for someone else -"
"——I refuse!!!" Hui Yuanchu shouted, fiercely pulled the oil rope, and started the chain saw with a "buzz" sound.
The countless eyeballs on the snake's body blinked, as if smiling, and at the same time, they tacitly and knowingly tightened the restraints on the flesh and blood reflection, helping Hui Yuanchu deal with his thighs.
Huiyuan struggled to pick up the chainsaw, and then cut it hard, his roar gradually becoming like the roar of a wild beast: "I understand! I completely understand! A way to neither lose yourself nor lose Aoi!!!" "
"I don't have to worry about whether what Aoi needs is Yadabaduo - because in the end, I just need to use any means to force her - all I need is Hui Yuanchu -" Hui Yuanchu laughed wildly, "That's it, okay!! !!”
Amidst the roar of the chain saw, gray mist flew everywhere.
In the darkness, the three beings were excited and shouted in unison: "Kill it! Cut it! Let this shadow completely turn into nothingness!"
……
……
……
There was a pain in his knuckles that had become somewhat numb.
But it was still a guide: guiding her to think of things related to fingers in her already chaotic thoughts - oh, that was when she reached out to hug him, so she reached out to the back of his neck.At that moment - the moment when skin came into contact for the first time, her whole body felt like an electric shock.
But as the feeling at the fingertips suddenly became empty, the memory seemed to gradually fade away.
She thought, it doesn't matter, she should have forgotten it long ago.
Next, it was the fishy smell in her mouth that reminded her.
It turned out that her first intimate contact with him had come earlier than that time.It was actually just an accident, right after the hug, for a very utilitarian reason.
The strange thing is that she often dreamed about it later.At that moment, there was no one in the dream, only the scalding temperature.
The hot one was herself.
But this memory soon disappeared along with the feeling of numbness.
She didn't care, she just felt more relaxed.
There was a light touch on the leg and I couldn't feel it anymore.Then she remembered that he had been lying on her lap...the memory was still fresh.
Later, he finally touched her face.Unfortunately, at this time, all that appeared on his face was pain.She recalled how she felt at that time...very warm, like, very warm.
Later, she held his head and cried for a long time.
Later, she stepped on his foot, but as a reward.
after that……
...Every time the body is peeled away from "her" bit by bit, the relevant memories will be lit up and then disappear.
Finally, after she had nothing to lose and just had to wait quietly for the darkness to finally come, she suddenly had a wish.
She used her last strength to open her eyes, and saw the figure who was not him, but was the same as him.
Then, watching the three spiraling meteors across the sky, she had one last thought.
a wish.
……
……
……
Suddenly, Hui Yuanchu stopped.
He raised his head and stared at the sky, as if he saw something through the purple depths.
In the surrounding darkness, three groups of indescribable and excited people were surging, shouting: "No, don't stop, don't stop! Stop now, you will lose, and we will lose too! Kill him, kill him!" "
The flesh-and-blood reflection also smiled.
He remained at ease throughout the process of being dismembered.
Just humming quietly.
"One day, the prince of mercury killed the king of gold...the prince of mercury killed the king of gold..."
At this point, he stopped singing.
Only half of his face was left, but he could still look at Hui Yuanchu with a loving look that was completely inconsistent with his appearance, and asked softly: "My child, why did you stop?"
"Obviously, you are only one final blow away from me and you can completely kill me."
Hui Yuanchu continued to pant and stare into the darkness, and murmured, "Because, because I saw...Kui——"
And Flesh Reflection continued to say slowly: "That's right, you saw that what she needs is Hui Yuanchu."
"But Hui Yuanchu was just a stranger who had no ability and could only watch her die."
"...Only Adabado can realize her wish."
Hui Yuanchu continued to turn his head and stare at the purple depths of the sky, shouting: "Give me your power!"
"Then you will become me." The flesh and blood reflection smiled, "So you were planning to kill me just now, right? But now, you have changed your mind?"
Hui Yuan was silent at first.
The flesh and blood reflection continued: "Anyway... do you want to save her? Then pray. As long as your wish is strong enough, I can help you realize it."
"Time doesn't actually exist."
"Life and death do not exist."
"So... you can make a decision slowly." The flesh reflection said with a smile, waiting, "As long as you make a decision, everything will be decided."
But Hui Yuan didn't think about it for long.
After a moment, he lowered his sword hand.
He looked down at the little boy, calmly stretched out his other empty hand and said, "...Give it to me."
After a moment of stagnation, the kings who entangled and restrained their flesh and blood reflections from the darkness first responded to Hui Yuanchu's wish.
Smooth and soft fleshy whiskers soaked with mucus, furry but irregularly knotted claws with skeletal muscles, and a snake body with an eyeball exposed after each scale is opened... The three categories are tightly bound to flesh and blood. The aliens in the reflection let go of the little boy and retreated into the darkness.
Then they left.
It was like finishing a game, laughing, cursing and ridiculing, but leaving the darkness without any regrets.
In the end, all they left behind was a clear message addressed to someone unknown.
"This one, you win. But next time, wait and see."
Only Hui Yuanchu and the little boy were left in front of the throne. They each stretched out their hands and were about to hold them——
……
……
……
The dolls are still having a merry feast.
But the feast is drawing to a close.
So it started humming a song and carried out the final cleaning work inside the coffin.
But suddenly, the doll froze.
It gradually stretched out its hands, hugged its head, and said in a mechanical voice: "Wait, I--"
"What am I doing??"
"Why - why would I do this - dirty, primal - jealousy?"
"Erosion, uncontrollable, warning, firewall, breach...self-destruct program...cancelled."
"No, no, no... no, no, no!" The puppet suddenly dropped the chainsaw in fear, "Wait a minute, wait a minute!!!"
It didn't care about anything at once, and just knelt down in the flesh and blood with a plop.
Then, it began to take a deep breath.
But the doll doesn't actually need to breathe.
So soon, it stopped breathing.It just seemed to be frozen in place, with his hands on his face, motionless.
From its belly, the doll chanted numbly without any emotion:
"Can't love."
"Can't hate."
"Don't be jealous."
"Don't be proud."
"Can't……"
The speech stops here.
The puppet knelt on the spot in silence, covering its face for a long time.
After a long time, it released a relaxed breathing sound from its belly: "Huh—"
"Hehe...Hai-chan? Get up, bed,!!"
At the same time, a weird and delicate voice of unknown origin came out from the throat.
But the doll itself seemed completely unaware.
It just relaxed, slowly and little by little removed the hand covering its face, and looked down.
A finger of a dying girl,
The girl is broken.
So that finger just happened to fall there, just right...but just right, as if it was lightly and tenderly touching the puppet's leg.
Then the puppet raised its head with the same slow movement.
The girl is actually dead.
An ordinary person would naturally have died long ago.
But her last action before she died was to turn her face and look at it with her last strength.
On the remaining half of the face, the eyes that had lost their light had not yet been closed, as if they were frozen in the last sight before dying.
...is gentle.
There was unexpectedly no hatred in it, only tenderness.
It's like seeing another person through a doll, looking forward to another person.
To that person, she conveyed her last wish.
The puppet opened its mouth, shook its chin crazily, and roared in fear.
As if it was afraid of disturbing something, it said in a weak mosquito-like voice: "Teacher, help me, I——"
——【】
The time has come.An irresistible will descended from the deep sky.
The doll's head exploded instantly.
From its broken head and neck, endless tentacles of flesh and blood poured out like a tide, exploding the plastic body in a blink of an eye, but they still did not stop, continuing to pour out from the same place, pouring out, and drowned in an instant swallowed up the entire coffin and swallowed up all the remains of the girl...
But then, the flood of flesh and blood continued.
They continue to spread towards the surrounding area.Whether they were living people or dead people, buildings or yellow stones, they were all swallowed up by this torrent.
