"I'm back. ”

Lin Ziyue whispered, her voice trembled slightly, and she stepped forward again, her black hair was gently swept by the sea breeze, and the warm afternoon sun shrouded her, as if giving her a halo.

Lin Ziyue took one step at a time, getting closer and closer to Xuanyuan Yu at the bow of the boat.

Xuanyuan Yu felt that his chest began to beat a drum, and his heart beat more and more intensively, each stroke driving his emotions to fluctuate violently. Maybe it wasn't beating, but it was throbbing, but Xuanyuan Yu couldn't tell it anymore.

Lin Ziyue was only a dozen meters away from the bow of the boat, she stopped again and looked up-

Xuanyuan Yu was dressed in a black robe, with wide sleeves like ink, like a dark cloud hanging on the bow of the ship, like a distorted bow of the ship.

His face is not much different from when the two first met, there are not too many distinct edges and corners, delicate facial features, gentle and non-aggressive eyebrows.

But those eyes changed, and there seemed to be a gloomy mist inside, and those twinkling and bright stars disappeared, leaving only a bottomless black hole, as if it was another world that devoured any light, inhaling the heat on Lin Ziyue's body little by little, making the chill climb up her spine.

Lin Ziyue still remembers the smile that made him look shy when he pulled down the black bully covering his face for the first time in Yungui City.

Was he a little blushing like him at the time?

Can we imagine such a thing on that day?

It shouldn't be like this......

Such a distraction did not affect the current confrontation situation, Lin Ziyue's feet raised slightly, and when she wanted to continue to move in the direction of the ship, a spatial crack appeared in front of her.

In an instant, a ravine full of turbulent currents stood in front of Lin Ziyue, and even split the sea water into two halves, like a wall, separating the two people from the line of sight where Lin Ziyue and Xuanyuan Yu met.

The anger surged up slightly, diluting the sadness in Lin Ziyue's eyes, and she roared at him through such a spatial crack: "Is this your answer!?"

Xuanyuan Yu didn't speak, and gently lowered his eyelids, letting Lin Ziyue disappear from his sight. In the end, he found that he overestimated himself.

Seeing Lin Ziyue's grief made him sad too, and seeing Lin Ziyue's anger, he had the idea of escaping.

Xuanyuan Yu's voice floated out far away, like the sigh of the sea breeze: "Why can't you listen to me once? If you fall asleep now, none of us will have to face such an embarrassing situation." ”

Lin Ziyue's anger was completely ignited by this sentence: "Is this a situation that can be described in two words? Let me tell you, Xuanyuan Yu! This is betrayal!"

Xuanyuan Yu's hand lit up with a bronze light, and the color extended to turn into the cane, and the inside of the ball held above it was in a state of collapse, the shape of the dagger was entangled with the thin black line, and it was at the hourglass-shaped junction of the continuous brewing darkness in the middle, and the surrounding galaxies and black holes were constantly rotating, and new galaxies were born in the destruction of each other, showing a state of irregular chaos.

Lin Ziyue was slightly stunned when she saw this: "You ...... You've even abandoned the dagger you once was, haven't you?"

Xuanyuan Yu still had his eyes closed, he was afraid that as soon as he opened his eyes, he would be unable to help but flee to other places, he wanted to force himself to face Lin Ziyue: "The dagger was originally an accessory to the image of an assassin...... Lin Ziyue, I'm no longer that shadow dance. ”

Lin Ziyue felt that her eyes became hot, and the thin sword in her hand was instantly unsheathed, so she picked it up at the crack in front of her: "If you want to say something, don't beat around the bush!

The thin sword was like scissors, and the clear light leaked down, and it easily cut the spatial crack in front of Lin Ziyue. Xuanyuan Yu's face once again fell into Lin Ziyue's eyes without hindrance, although Xuanyuan Yu's eyes were still closed, he could still feel her gaze.

Was the burning heat that made his face flush from the shame of his own heart, or the joy of being so angry with her?

Indeed, as Yan Crow said, you are soft-hearted, Xiaoyue......

But I'm different!

"I know very well, I won't continue to be with you!

I'm sorry, but I don't want to accept your choice, I can't continue to be with you, I can't watch you continue to put yourself in danger under the fiddling of the Book of Destiny!

Xuanyuan Yu shook the cane in his palm, and several spatial cracks turned into curly dragons, flowing with tyrannical spatial turbulence all over his body, and they flew in the direction of Lin Ziyue.

Lin Ziyue kicked the sea under her feet, flew up, and brought up a bunch of waves on the soles of her shoes, which sprinkled in the air like a little rhinestone under the sun: "So I don't understand it all along! Why do you have to use the image of a dragon to condense one by one!"

Xuanyuan Yu's originally gloomy face suddenly habitually bloomed with a smile, usually when Lin Ziyue complained, he could feel the "groove" in her words for the first time, and then looked at her and smiled tacitly because of this.

Realizing his reaction, Xuanyuan Yu's smile disappeared immediately, and his left hand on the cane was so hard that the joints turned white.

Lin Ziyue's feet were no longer lit up with a moon shield, but a group of countless dots of light composed of countless pieces of fine white, and a gentle but steady thrust came, making her no longer need to stabilize her center of gravity like on the moon blade. The thin sword in Lin Ziyue's hand cut through the air, and it actually faintly emitted terrifying spatial fluctuations, and she met the long dragon formed by the convergence of several spatial cracks, and her figure was submerged in the blink of an eye.

But then, the brilliant sword light that almost tore through the sight of everyone on the ship exploded, and instead of spreading out in all directions, sweeping those dragon-shaped cracks, it lit up from only one direction, and the sword blade full of power pointed in the direction of Xuanyuan Yu from a distance of more than ten meters.

Then a black gap appeared where the blade of the sword slashed, as if Lin Ziyue was no longer wielding a sword, but an ink pen, and the shape she drew in the air was actually a key.

It's the same as the key formed after the power of Xuanyuan Yu and K is concretized.

Then the black key moved, and just a breath sucked up the spatial cracks that were about to involve Lin Ziyue in it.

Yan Crow's eyes, which were also standing on the bow of the boat with Xuanyuan Yu, changed, and it felt the changes in Lin Ziyue, because it had entered the Moon Scepter, and its ability to sense Lin Ziyue was the most straightforward, and at this time, seeing that she had been able to touch the essence of the world's operation with wordless formulas, Yan Crow understood that she seemed to have stepped into a deeper realm.

As she drew the pitch-black key with a thin sword and tore open the devouring rift full of annihilation power, the anger in Lin Ziyue's eyes receded a lot, her gaze became gentle again, and tears echoed in her eyes like blue waves.

Her voice drifted on the surface of the sea along with the turbulence of those scattered spaces: "Ah Yu, please tell me, why did you do such a thing? If you have other ideas, it is still between us if you hurt me, but you hurt the people around us...... What is it that makes you feel compelled to do this!?"

Her tears never flowed, she couldn't accept Xuanyuan Yu doing such a thing, obviously that he was the person she trusted the most, why did he seem to be about to stand on the opposite side of her in the blink of an eye?

Lin Ziyue couldn't figure it out, how could such a development make no sense.

Xuanyuan Yu's hand on the cane slowly relaxed, but before he could stabilize his emotions and open his mouth to answer, Blue, who was standing on the deck, took the first step and shouted: "His emotions have been affected!

Before Blue could finish speaking, a sharp pain pierced his skull, and the keyhole-like mark on his forehead turned red, burning his consciousness.

Although Xuanyuan Yu closed his eyes, his head turned to the people on the deck, and the cold anger emanated from him, which seemed to echo the screams of Blue over there in the most straightforward way.

Lin Ziyue's voice became stiff for the first time, full of coldness: "Xuanyuan Yu, could it be said that Blue poked your sore spot?"

Immediately afterwards, a white light blade popped out on the moon staff in Lin Ziyue's hand, although it was very similar to the original moon blade, but that color was more pure, more like the first snow than like moonlight.

The moment the white light fell on Blue's body, Blue's body rippled with the same color, and the keyhole brand on his forehead shattered and disappeared in an instant.

The pain that Xuanyuan Yu had inflicted on Blue was gone immediately.

In Xuanyuan Yu's induction, Blue showed a meaningful smile, relieved and excited, and then the next moment, something far beyond Xuanyuan Yu's expectations happened.

The white light on Blue's body did not dissipate, but turned into a more dazzling white stream of light, distorting and sweeping away his entire person, and instantly returned to Lin Ziyue's body, falling directly into her moon staff.

Lin Ziyue raised her eyebrows: "If it's another ghost made by V, why don't you tell me directly...... When I was asleep, you told everyone that everyone was okay!?"

Xuanyuan Yu knew very well that in her cold tone, the anger and hatred were not even directed at herself, but at V. Xuanyuan Yu felt that his will was trembling, and he didn't think he was at fault from beginning to end, and he vaguely felt a trace of remorse, just because Lin Ziyue was still trying to defend him and trying to attribute his actions to V.

Xuanyuan Yu's anger aroused by Blue retracted in an instant, leaving only calm, as if it was a deep well without waves, and he slowly spoke: "Who said I did this because I was influenced by V?"

The chill on Lin Ziyue's face also faded, and at this time, she was as calm as Xuanyuan Yu, like two opposite ends of a mirror, and people with the same expression stood on each side: "What do you want to say...... It's all of your own volition?"

Satsuki, I don't want to see you bewitched by the Book of Destiny again...... But I know you so well that I know that you will surely choose to continue on this path that watches you design you......

Xuanyuan Yu gritted his teeth: "Yes! V did affect me, but the trace of demonic energy he gave me gave me a glimpse of the possibility of another world! The path you have been taking will only kill you!"

Lin Ziyue's eyes drooped, she looked at the endless sea in front of her, this was the first time after the two met, she took the initiative to look away: "I know." I've always known that. ”

"Then why can't you choose to take a step back, or go further? You must be a martyr? This is glorious, very proud?" Xuanyuan Yu's voice trembled slightly.

The tears in Lin Ziyue's eyes still fell, but her voice was very calm, and she didn't even cry, as if it wasn't herself who wept: "It's not glorious or proud, but it's the right thing to do, it can minimize the damage suffered by the Six Realms." The world needs an invisible guardian, and the Book of Destiny knows all of this for a long time, and it is the best choice. ”

"It has no feelings for this world! It is even the one that pushes the Liuhe to lead to the destruction of the Six Realms! You know that the path C has given you is to replace him as the new Overseer! Only the Overseer can take on the responsibility of guardianship of the Book of Destiny! It is because the Book of Destiny cannot take on the task of guardian!"

Lin Ziyue pursed her lips, listening to Xuanyuan Yu's almost crazy roar, and the tears in the corners of her eyes fell one after another.

"Look at it! You know it all—why do you trust such a ridiculous fate! It is the one that should be crushed, not you who have been ambushed again and again!"

Lin Ziyue opened her mouth to refute: "You want to let this world out of the common sense of destiny, but have you thought about it! How many sentient beings will die, you don't care at all!"

"Yes, I just don't care! I can't put your life behind anyone! You're all that matters to me!"

Lin Ziyue's tears flowed more and more, maybe because she was moved, maybe because she was confused, her voice lowered: "Obviously, you also said that you would support me, but now you wishful thinking that you feel good to me, so you have to do it...... What's the difference between it and C's bleak soul who arranges other people's lives without authorization!"

Xuanyuan Yu's anger suffocated, and a chill froze him from head to toe.

Lin Ziyue's words were right, she really ignored her will.

She thought that the path she had chosen was the right one, but it put her own life behind all living beings, and she did not consider that she would be sad and hopeless, and even if she knew so, she was not willing to give in to this dead road for her own sake.

Didn't she ignore my will?

Haven't you all gone your own way like this...... Why can't I?

Xuanyuan Yu calmed down: "I can't let you die, this is the only thing I should give you...... Reply. ”

Lin Ziyue's figure suddenly blurred, and the next moment it had stopped in front of Xuanyuan Yu, she grabbed his neckline in excitement, her whole body trembled because of the violent fluctuations in her mood, and even her voice was extremely fluctuating: "I don't need such a reply! You know why I can keep going, it's because you-"

"No, it's just because you want to do it, it's you who want to save the world, don't push that reason on me. Xuanyuan Yu's tone was very calm, as if the person who yelled at Lin Ziyue before was not him: "You said that I disregarded your will, what about you? You asked these beings in the world who need your ridiculous salvation? Even you know that I don't want you to go down......

Lin Ziyue's tears gradually stopped, and there was a flame burning in her eyes, like a continuous prayer: "Yes, I may die on this road, but I am not greedy for life......! I can't bear to see any corner of it destroyed! The Illusory World is just a fine grain of ash among the thousands of stars, but this inconspicuous dust stacks up into the Tower of Babel and gathers into the Six Realms! I can't give up looking for a way out of such a world! I want it to live forever, and the Book of Destiny is the way to maintain stability at the moment!"

Lin Ziyue took a deep breath and tried to calm down her emotions: "I'm like this...... I'm sorry, but at this stage, I have to be careful to maintain my relationship with the Book of Destiny, and even if it costs my life to participate in this game, I will never allow V to destroy it. ”

Xuanyuan Yu's Adam's apple moved, and he said with difficulty: "I think, there is no way to clarify this topic, our views are too far apart, far more different than we expected before. ”

Lin Ziyue keenly caught Xuanyuan Yu's pain, and uneasily climbed up the tip of her tongue, making her lips cold and numb, and she subconsciously loosened Xuanyuan Yu's collar: "You...... What do you mean by that?"

Xuanyuan Yu lowered his head slightly, and lightly dropped a kiss on Lin Ziyue's forehead, and then paused, he took a half step back slightly, and opened the distance between him and her. Xuanyuan Yu always closed his eyes, and simply used his spiritual power to sense everything around him: "Perhaps, it's better for you to say this sentence." ”

Lin Ziyue looked at Xuanyuan Yu in a daze, all the emotions in her body converged, and even her face, which was flushed with anger, turned pale. After being silent for a few seconds, Lin Ziyue grabbed Xuanyuan Yu's face, and her cold hands showed that she was not as calm as she seemed to be: "Ah Yu, you open your eyes and look at me." ”

Xuanyuan Yu's eyelashes trembled for a moment, and finally he opened his eyes, looking at Lin Ziyue's eyes full of grief and crawling bloodshots, seeing the tears that she was close to but couldn't wipe away, and seeing the corners of her pale but smiling mouth.

He looked at the person he was destined for, and when he spoke, Xuanyuan Yu felt as if his voice was coming from outside the sky, and it no longer belonged to him: "Xiaoyue, I have made up my mind." With our tacit understanding, you know what that sentence is...... I think it's up to you. ”

Lin Ziyue's eyes dimmed, like a bonfire that had been extinguished, leaving only the ashes that kept getting cold: "Is this your final answer?"

Xuanyuan Yu felt that the violently beating heart in his chest was hollowed out, he looked into her eyes, watched the light in them dissipate, those fiery entangled emotions became cold, and the love lingered for a long time, but inch by inch turned into smoke.

He felt as if he were going to drown in the tears that flickered in those eyes, as if he were going to follow her withered feelings.

Lin Ziyue smiled softly, the darkness under her eyes swelled up, like a balloon that had been blown up, covering all her emotions, and all the inductions that Xuanyuan Yu had fallen on her body were instantly cut apart.

The boundless sea behind her and the wind-swept clouds in the sky suddenly stood still for a moment.

Then Lin Ziyue said that sentence.

"Let's break up, Xuanyuan. ”

Xuanyuan Yu didn't close his eyes again, he watched her love die, and his soul seemed to be wiped out with these eight words.

This is also his love, from K and L in the previous life, to Xuanyuan Yu and Lin Ziyue in this life.

But it still hasn't escaped a collapse.

I am no longer your shadow...... I'm just going to leave your Xuanyuan Yu.

Satsuki, I'm sorry.

Xuanyuan Yu's eyes were very firm, as if he wanted to imprint Lin Ziyue's appearance in his mind.

He looked at her, and everything was just a word.

"Good. ”

Xuanyuan Yu's voice fell between the two of them, drawing a pause.

The clouds drift away, and the waves sound.

Only that word echoed in Lin Ziyue's mind.

Good.
