Shuraba Player

Putting the worn-out acoustic guitar in her lap, the girl sitting on the bench by the street calmly looked up to the front.

The crowd passed in front of her, but no one would stop to stand for her, and no one would pay her any visitation.

There is no place to come, and no way back.

Like a bystander out of absolute status, she is rejected by any world, walking alone on the edge of one world after another.

After carefully adjusting the strings, just like the tens of thousands of attempts before, the girl spoke softly to the crowd in front of the piano, and once again sang the song without an audience.

— but this time, her singing was answered.

With the sound of the piano falling, the sound of applause came from directly in front of her.

Raising her head slightly in astonishment, the girl saw the boy standing in front of her. For a moment, it seemed that only she and him were left in the whole world.

For the first time, the girl clearly saw her shadow in the eyes of others.

Just as the girl was in a trance, the other party walked over and sat beside her.

"Why, you also came to this world?"

…I? He knows me?

"Why, you don't recognize me?"

Looking at the girl in front of him who was staring blankly at him with a blank face, Bai Zhi looked a little funny.

"If you count carefully, it seems that the time has not passed long?"

The singer at the end of the world, the younger sister of the master, was cursed by the world and thus forgotten by the world.

His acquaintance with the other party had to be traced back to the first major battle.

I remember that at the end, the other party should have returned to her sister's side with Chitose. At that time, he had given the other party one of the only temporary residence permits produced by Shadow World, but the other party never came.

"...I don't know you, but I would like to make you my friend..."

After a long silence, the girl spoke softly.

"I have traveled through countless worlds, and you are the only one who can see me and hear my singing."

"You really don't remember?"

Feeling something was wrong, looking at the girl in front of him, Bai Zhi frowned slightly.

...are you the only one who can see each other?

If he remembered correctly, both Lin Xiaoyi and Anna could see each other... Did he recognize the wrong person?

But very quickly, Bai Zhi overturned this inference by himself.

Whether it's clothing, appearance, the red scarf tied around his neck, or the acoustic guitar in his arms, they are all the same as the end-of-the-world singer in his impression.

"Wait, do you remember your sister?"

As if thinking of something, Bai Zhi quickly asked.

"I have no relatives."

Holding the acoustic guitar in her arms, the girl shook her head.

"As long as I can remember, I have been wandering alone in various worlds. No one has ever seen me, and no one has ever heard my singing. You are the first."

Looking up at him, there seemed to be light in the girl's eyes.

"If you need a friend, I can be your friend."

"What about the name? Do you remember your name?"

Letting out a little breath, Bai Zhi asked again.

"Name...no."

After thinking for a while, the girl shook her head.

"If you really need a name, you can call me Singer... or Singer of the End of the World."

Looking up at the sky, the girl spoke softly.

"I have already forgotten how many worlds I have traveled, and how many end times I have witnessed. If you really want to call me, call me the singer of the end of the world, the singer who witnessed the end of the world. "

"..."

Bai Zhi is sure that there must be some serious problem with the other party.

Lost the identity of the player, lost the memory of the past, like a ghost of time, walking alone in thousands of worlds to witness the end of one world after another...

"...Well, you go back with me first."

Stretching out his hand to press his temple, Bai Zhi stood up from the bench.

"There's definitely something happening to you that's why...wait, other people can't see you?"

Sensitively noticing the strange eyes of those around him complaining towards him, Bai Zhi could not help but frown.

"I have traveled through many worlds, and in all of them, you are the only one who can see me."

Looking up at him, the girl answered seriously.

"..."

…is that so?

But Bai Zhi remembered very clearly that in the past, although only certain people could see her, as long as there are certain people who can observe her, then she can also be observed by others. .

The result is good now, really only a specific person can observe each other.

Uh... so in the eyes of the people around me, I was actually talking to the empty chair next to me for a long time?

Realizing something belatedly, Bai Zhi's expression couldn't help but look a little subtle.

And what happened afterwards confirmed his guess.

In the eyes of everyone, he is just a neurotic talking to the surrounding air...

Hmm...Thinking of the good, at least I can still evade fares openly...

—Bai Zhi tried to comfort himself in his heart.

In the process of turning back to the hotel, the singer of the end of the world has always been quite quiet...or rather well-behaved, and he followed him closely.

Even when he wasn't paying attention, the other party would secretly reach out and grab the corner of his clothes, as if he was afraid that he would lose him.

"You said there was a girl next to you?"

Looking at Bai Zhi in front of him, Li, a mountainside man who was trying to beg for alms with a purple gold bowl in his hand, had a strange expression on his face.

"That's right, it's right next to me. How about it, can you see it?"

Pointing to the side, Bai Zhi gestured towards the other party.

"About my shoulder height, with an acoustic guitar on my back, and a long red scarf."

"...Are you sure you're not here to amuse me?"

After repeatedly looking at someone's side more than a dozen times but still not seeing anything, and causing a group of people around to point and point, Li, the mountainside man, had a black line on his face.

"I still believed what you said before. After all, there is evidence, but now you tell me that there is a girl next to you that I can't see. Are you lying to a ghost? Why, you are so old, and there is another Fantasy friends?"

"laity."

Glancing at the end-of-the-world singer beside him who reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes, he shook his head, and Bai Zhi decided not to care about this shameful guy in front of him.

Hillman Li: "I※※&&&…"

……………

"Uh... didn't see it."

After honestly staring at Bai Zhi's side, Phalaenopsis shook her head honestly, and then asked a little nervously.

"Why, is there something we can't see entangled you? If there is anything that needs our help, just say it."

On the side, Piao Yu had already pulled out the hilt of his sword.

Bai Zhi: "..."

……………

A certain red and white witch: "Well... if you are willing to pay me a little money, I can pretend that I can see it." (Nod seriously)

Song Mingxue: "That...are you too nervous? Yes, do you need a knee pillow? (Nervous

Nuliang: "..." (doesn't speak but just looks at him silently)

Hanzo: "..." (ibid. ↑)

……………

After looking for about five or six people, Bai Zhi had to admit it. I currently have no way to solve this problem.

What really allowed him to find the relevant clues came from an accident that happened on the road when he was looking for Ouroboros.

The red scarf tied around the neck of the end-of-the-world singer directly pierced through the body of a fat man who rushed over to grab the task in a hurry.

It was also because of this unintentional discovery that Bai Zhi suddenly realized a terrifying guess.

"...through here?"

Looking at the closed door in front of him, he tilted his head slightly, and the singer of the end of the world looked at him.

"Yes, can it be done?"

Bai Zhi had a serious face.

Before that, he had deliberately asked the other party if he had been to a certain room, but because the other party was wandering aimlessly, she didn't have any impression of it.

—Facing his question, the singer of the end of the world made his own answer with practical actions.

"..."

Swiping his card to enter the room, looking at the girl standing quietly waiting for him to come in, Bai Zhi couldn't help but fell into silence.

In his mind, some key nodes were quickly connected in series at this moment.

The mysterious person who had been to that guest room before was the singer of the end of the world, and shortly after that, the main **** descended on the reincarnation team there...

The other party has lost all memories of the past, wandering aimlessly in thousands of worlds as an absolute outsider, and witnessing the end of those worlds, and no one can see her...

The main **** is composed of the seven evil gods of original sin, and each evil **** of original sin has a corresponding original sinner. Those evil gods of seven original sins can enter and leave any world at will. invalid…

When these fragmentary details of the past are connected together, when those missing puzzle pieces are put together into a complete pattern... the truth is actually already obvious.

——The singer of the end of the world in front of him is one of the seven original sinners chosen by the Lord God! !

[Arrogance], [Envy], [Rage], [Laziness], [Greed], [Gluttony]...and finally [Lust].

The above seven are the seven original sins.

Judging from the characteristics displayed by the other party... extremely arrogant?

Thousands of thoughts surged in his mind, and after only five or six seconds, Bai Zhi locked on the real identity of the other party.

— One of the Seven Deadly Sins? The agent of arrogance.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing his strangeness, the end of the world singer looked at him with some doubts.

"...It's nothing, I just figured out something a little bit."

Glancing at the other party, he stretched out his hand to press his forehead, and Bai Zhi sighed slightly in his heart.

Assuming that his speculations are completely correct, then there is a completely reasonable explanation for these strange changes that happened to the other party.

Even if you think about it a little deeper, think of the original sinner who suffered heavy injuries and fell from the main god, and the great transformation that happened to the singer at the end of the world. That fallen original sinner may represent the [arrogance] 】.

It was precisely because of the fall of the original sinner that the singer of the end of the world had a chance to be in the top position.

After thinking about these things clearly, there is only one problem left before Bai Zhi.

—Is it her own will that the singer at the end of the world becomes the original sinner?

But after thinking for a while, Bai Zhi found that there was no clear answer to this question, and it was basically impossible to verify.

When discussing this with Yuxing before, Yuxing also teased that there might be original sinners among the people he knew, but it turns out that it is now a prophecy.

"What do you think about the future?"
