Chapter 623
Walking on the cold winter streets.

Mu Xiu lowered his head, feeling that his footsteps were extraordinarily heavy.

During this period of time, there was basically no change, and the previous rhythm was still maintained. After the deathmatch of the Dead Apostles began, he separated the battlefield space area from the normal real world.

All "abnormalities" did not exist in the real area of ​​the earth from that moment on, so the preparations made by the governments of various countries for this incident naturally gained nothing.

Moreover, the tens of thousands of elite special forces jointly invested disappeared like mud cows into the sea, without a sound, and even the local residents didn't know about it at all.

This phenomenon is really horrifying.

After that, agents from various countries worked in three shifts, and hundreds of foreigners "wandered" around Guanbuzi City every day, looking like a boy who wasted money—

However, they couldn't find anything. It seemed that the city had returned to normal after that, and all abnormalities that did not conform to materialist values ​​disappeared, as if they had never appeared before.

Let them rack their brains and dig three feet into the ground, but they didn't find any relevant clues.

In addition, perhaps because most of the backbone of the Church of the Holy Church and most of the 27 ancestors of the Dead Apostles fell directly into this quagmire, the world of magic all over the world felt inexplicably shocked.

Therefore, they have consciously reduced the frequency of actions, and canceled many not-so-low-key plans.

The hidden law is their root, and being cautious is somewhat of great significance. As a result, three months have passed, and the state machinery of human society has not been able to find any valuable clues about the Extraordinary Domain.

But the luckiest one is probably the clock tower.

Because of the previous incident, it is said that they are already preparing to send out a team designated by the seal to carry out the task. The team will be led by Barthamelo Lorelei, who is at the peak among contemporary magicians, the alternate dean of the Clock Tower, and come to watch Buzi The city has an explanation.

But fortunately, for some reason, they didn't have time to catch up with the departure... It seems that they escaped a catastrophe.

Otherwise, it is estimated that you will never come back, because you don't know what kind of enemy you have encountered, and the unknown is often the most terrifying.

But no matter what, these things gradually calmed down after three months.

And there's not much to be concerned about.

……

……

Counting from the time when he came here, Mu Xiu has been living in this world and this city for nearly a year.

Therefore, the interpersonal relationship is naturally deepening, whether it is with Chengzi, Fujino, or Heitong brothers and sisters.

And because the memory of the "two rituals" belonging to the past is constantly being replenished, he is also revisiting his past experiences and identities bit by bit, for example, he has become a relatively good friend with Hei Tonggan up.

Mu Xiu didn't feel that he had changed back to Liangyizhi, he never thought that he was Liangyizhi from the beginning to the end.

It's like reincarnation, even if you know what kind of person you were in the previous life, the self in this life is a completely different person.

However, when accepting those unforgettable memories, changes are indeed happening-maybe his thoughts have not changed, but his behavior and personality have still been somewhat affected.

It was a dream, and only a dream.

But it lasted for a full 16 years, and it was extremely real, as if it was immersive, and even reached another life that made people unable to distinguish reality.

It was a mixture of happiness and joy, tolerance and doting.

That is the combination of the impulse above the life instinct and the destiny beyond nature, after the collision between the two.

That is - the fate of the twins.

Mu Xiu continued to walk forward step by step with his head down. He walked on the road in the residential area, heading towards the bustling train station.Although the street lights were bright as usual, the streets were as silent as the night.

His expression was the same as usual, and his eyes seemed to be indifferent to anything.

As Mu Xiu walked out step by step in the white snowy night, with every step he took, he once again felt some kind of emotion emerging from the bottom of his heart.

Laugh, cry, or some other melody.

In the next moment, memories from another period of life flooded up like a tide...

Mu Xiu understood it without any difficulty. This was the last fragment of memory, treasured in the depths of his soul, pierced deeper, but also more shining.

What is remembered is not only the body, but the entire soul seems to be branded, and severe pain emanates from the depths.

……

……

Under the cloudy night sky, he is enjoying his freedom.While humming a ditty, while walking in the streets at night.

She is fast asleep.

Naturally, he kept it from her, and took advantage of this opportunity to go to the street, wandering on the street like a collapsed doll, because he had a premonition that his end was approaching.

She has already begun to collapse, and she has only one way to collapse.

"I" must be protected, she must be protected.

But only she was troubled by these contradictions, but he didn't take them too seriously.

After all, he has realized how to save her, the ultimate means.

——In short, as long as she disappears, she can obtain happiness.

So, he took death as a matter of course...

Only the last embers, under the influence of some external force, are reincarnated tenaciously and are guided to grow continuously until they become an independent existence again.

But he has forgotten his past...until now.

……

……

Feel a little joy, accompanied by a burst of sadness.

Mu Xiu raised his head, and suddenly, he finally understood something, something he should have understood all along.

I am, I am actually—

He closed his eyes, exhaled lightly, then raised his hand and knocked on the door in front of him.After waiting quietly for 3 minutes, he stretched out his hand and opened the door as he was used to without saying a word.

Then, push the door and go in.

This is a corner of the second floor of a four-story apartment.After passing through the corridor less than one meter from the entrance, there is a room that doubles as a bedroom and a living room, and there is a door leading to the bathroom between the corridors.

"Good evening, Shi."

Talking as if he was very embarrassed, Mu Xiu sat down in the middle of the room with a calm expression, facing the girl who put the bed on the tatami.

She watched him absently during the trespass.

"Why are you here today? And what are you doing, you don't even turn on the lights." Said in an indifferent tone as if criticizing a classmate, Shiki sat up from the bed.

Contrary to what she said, she didn't care at all.This is not the same as ignoring, it is a dignified and natural attitude.

"Because, I think there are some things that I must tell you."

Mu Xiu was silent for a while, and then tried to laugh. He was obviously not happy at all, but he was still able to laugh, which made him feel that he was really full of faults.

Then, he saw the strange eyes of the girl, as if she was looking at some monster.

"Why are you so serious, is that what you want to say?"

A few seconds later, the girl in kimono laughed, and the expression that appeared on her face was half dangerous and half calm, like a child who got a new toy.

"Probably because what I'm going to say is really serious." Mu Xiu smiled a little lonely.

"..."

"..."

"It's really annoying, just say what you want, it's rare to meet me in such a good mood, you guy." Said so arrogantly, but Shi Shi's eyes seemed somewhat flustered.

Although she tried her best to be as calm as possible, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

The guy's eyes were too serious, which made her feel an unprecedented sense of uneasiness.She had even calmed down a long time ago, and the sense of emptiness that hadn't appeared for half a year now appeared in her body again.

Unable to bear the uneasiness and anxiety that tore the chest.

Now she suddenly wants to kill, no matter who it is - as long as she doesn't listen to what the guy in front of her is going to say next.

"I already...remember what happened before."

Mu Xiu was silent. After a while, he said this softly, and the hollow voice echoed in the room.

"..."

"..."

An atmosphere of silence permeated this narrow space, and the two rituals only belatedly discovered that the telepathic state had disappeared.

"I'm not Zhi. He died in the distant past...Even if he can reappear in the world, he can't get rid of reincarnation. I'm not him."

Mu Xiu sighed long and took a deep breath, with apology and deep nostalgia, as if he wanted to say it in one breath.

"But even so, he didn't regret that decision—"

"enough!"

But at this moment, Liang Yi suddenly stood up angrily, she clenched her fists subconsciously, and shouted coldly that it had nothing to do with her.

She felt the pain in the depths of her soul as if it was being torn apart. It was the uneasiness and anxiety that made her want to tear her chest apart, but she didn't feel any pain or sadness before.

But now, there is anxiety and pain.

It seems that it is no longer an emotion that does not belong to him, but an emotion that bursts out from the depths of his heart.

"I want to kill."

Faintly, as if she was talking about other people's affairs, she said so.

"If you just want to explain such a ridiculous thing to me and break the relationship with me, then I already know... That's right, even though I just don't have the real sense of being alive, you can leave..."

The dignified air suddenly stopped flowing, the two rituals said in such a low voice.

Then, like a cat losing interest, she walked away from Mu Xiu, looking like she was going somewhere, she took the leather jacket and started to prepare to go out.

But after thinking about it, she put the red jacket back, and opened the door just like that in a pure white kimono.

When she was about to leave, the girl didn't look back.

Mu Xiu couldn't say anything, just sighed a long time, then leaned his back against the wall and stared at the ceiling, as if he lost consciousness and let the silent time flow slowly.

After a few minutes, he stood up silently.

……

……

The first heavy snowfall in four years, Guanbuzi City fell into that snowy day when everything was silent.

Mu Xiu clearly felt the end of that thing.

He was walking in the snow that kept falling, just had a premonition, so he went to that place.

Sure enough, she was there.

In the silent white night, that beautiful figure stood in an indistinguishable place, looking at the distant space and the direction of the stars in the snowy night.

"—Long time no see, Mu Xiu."

The girl in the kimono turned her head as if feeling something, and then smiled sweetly, with a soft smile on her face, looking tired and gentle.

"Yeah, long time no see." Mu Xiu responded softly, not knowing how serious he was, showing a peaceful smile.He came to her side, watching the distant night.

As if it was something so important that I would never get a chance to see it again.

Just like the last time I don't know how long ago, the relationship between the two and the relationship that has always been there seems to have not changed a bit.

But Mu Xiu knew that he was different now. As he said before, he finally understood something, something he should have understood all along.
