Far to the west, there seems to be a round red sun setting, and the round sun is emitting infinite light and heat, shining on the land and burning the whole sky.

ZERO walked aimlessly on the scorched earth, although the scene seemed very bleak and tragic, but ZERO, who had regained his freedom for a long time, felt extremely happy, as if every pore on his body had taken the opportunity to stretch.

Call!

ZERO LET OUT A HEAVY SIGH AND LOOKED UP AT THE RED CLOUD DEEP IN THOUGHT.

ZERO THOUGHT BACK TO THE LAST TIME SHE WAS ENJOYING THE SUN LIKE THIS, AND VAGUELY FELT LIKE A LONG, LONG TIME HAD PASSED.

In fact, it has only been ten days since ZERO entered the gray laboratory building, but the experience in these ten days is indeed far beyond the state of ordinary people living for ten years.

It is difficult to imagine the transformation from a naïve child who does not know anything about the world to a strong fighter who can fight bloodily. ZERO'S BODY ISN'T AS STRONG AS IT GETS, BUT HE'S LEARNED HOW TO USE HIS STRENGTHS AND GREAT SKILL TO PROTECT HIMSELF.

It's like a dream, but what ZERO feels now is an unparalleled reality.

"You're right here. A SOFT VOICE RANG OUT BEHIND ZERO, AND ZERO WAS STARTLED WHEN HE HEARD THIS, AND HIS BODY SUBCONSCIOUSLY REACTED TO FIGHT BACK.

But soon ZERO remembered whose voice it was, and the movements of his hands stopped completely, and his eyes lit up with excitement and joy.

"Thirteen!" ZERO exclaimed, looking back.

Sayuri was standing not far behind ZERO, and she had just come out of the underground space to feel ZERO's breath, so she rushed here immediately.

At this moment, Sayuri's gaze showed a gentle expression that was completely different from the past.

The solemn face has changed, but ZERO is very familiar with the owner who has shown this expression, and it is Thirteen.

ZERO rushed two steps to Sayuri and grabbed her palm and said, "Thirteen, you're really alive!"

Sayuri smiled, "It's all your work, otherwise I'm afraid I'd still be locked up in a rock." ”

When ZERO saw the resurrected Thirteen, he was full of excitement, and his voice was a little choked and he couldn't speak for a few degrees.

Thirteen smiled and rubbed ZERO's hair, as if comforting the frustrated child.

"What's going on over there?" Although ZERO didn't know what happened during the time he lost consciousness, Zero didn't believe that Thirteen alone had created the scene in front of him, and what he guessed was that some kind of sudden change had occurred during this time.

Sayuri said softly, "Something did happen, although it was unexpected, but there are many things that are reasonable. ”

THIS RATHER CLOUDY AND FOGGY REMARK MADE ZERO FROWN. Apparently a little concerned about her statement.

"Master... What about Simon?" "ZERO is most concerned about the man who once pulled him up, but then killed him at the end.

Sayuri said: "It's hard to say whether he lives or dies now, maybe he will sleep forever in the ground with his cherished things." But he doesn't pose any threat to us now. ”

LISTENING TO SAYURI'S CONFIDENT TONE, ZERO WAS STILL A LITTLE UNSURE, BUT NOW HE HAD NO INTENTION OF PROBING PROFESSOR SIMON'S SAFETY.

"That's... Where's Sayuri?" ZERO asked, perhaps fearing that Thirteen would be angry at him again, so ZERO's voice was unusually low.

Sayuri smiled faintly when she heard this, put her palm on her chest and said, "Sayuri, she is here." ”

ZERO LOOKED AT SAYURI FOR SOME REASON, NOT UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING OF HER WORDS.

Sayuri spoke, "In order to be able to carve out of Tritogramia Stone smoothly, the two of us have performed soul fusion, and now it can be said that 'I have you, you have me'. ”

"I see. ZERO said happily, he also remembered what the Akame woman had said to him, but with a soul without a body could not leave the space bound by Tritogramia's stone carvings, the fusion of Thirteen's soul with Sayuri was the only decision to be free, and ZERO naturally had no objection.

“ZERO... I'm sorry. SAYURI HESITATED FOR A MOMENT, THEN SUDDENLY SAID TO ZERO.

Zero was stunned for a moment, but pondered for a long time before realizing that this was Thirteen's apology for what he had said to him in the Tritogramia Stone Carving Space.

ZERO SCRATCHED HIS HEAD AND SMILED: "WHAT IS THERE TO APOLOGIZE FOR, I HAVE LONG FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT INCIDENT, AND BESIDES, IT WAS INDEED MY INCONSIDERATE THINKING, WHAT YOU SAID IS NOT WRONG." ”

SAYURI REACHED OUT AND GRABBED ZERO'S PALM AND SAID, "NO, THAT'S MY FAULT." Although I had my own struggles at the time, I still felt infinitely guilty of hurting you at that time. If I hadn't forced you like that at the time, you wouldn't have had any accidents later. If... If you really do anything, I will regret it for the rest of my life, and I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life. ”

ZERO SMILED, THE TWO CHILDREN'S FEELINGS FOR EACH OTHER WERE ALREADY SELF-EVIDENT, AND THERE WAS NO NEED FOR MORE EXPLANATION.

ZERO smiled and then took the initiative to change the topic: "Let the past pass, I also hurt you in the past, if it is always more serious, I'm afraid we will always apologize to each other." ”

AFTER A PAUSE, ZERO CONTINUED, "FOR SOME REASON, TONIGHT'S SUNSET IS EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL, AND IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN IT SINCE I WAS A CHILD, SO IF WE DON'T TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENJOY IT, WE'LL BE LEFT WITH REGRETS." ”

Sayuri was stunned when she heard this, and her eyes looked at the red clouds in the sky rather strangely. STILL, THAT GAZE FLASHED IN SAYURI'S EYES, AND THEN SAYURI SMILED SINCERELY AT ZERO AND SAID, "YES." ”

The two of them stood side by side, although there were no tall towering trees or lush soft grass here, but the two of them felt an unprecedented sense of happiness, as if they were ushering in a lonely old man in this atmosphere of you and me.

Clouds of red continued to fall from the sky, looking like a beautiful comet from afar.

Although this strange red light has taken countless lives in an instant, in the eyes of ZERO and Sayuri, it is the most beautiful flower.

After watching for a long time, ZERO, who was immersed in happiness, suddenly realized something.

Although time is constantly passing, the sky does not show any signs of darkening, judging by past experience, although the sunset is beautiful, it does not last long, let alone this abnormal scene that completely envelops the main sky.

Suddenly, an ominous feeling rose in ZERO's heart. Because he suddenly noticed something unusual in the palms of the Sayuri in his own hands.

It was a pair of cold, incomparably slippery palms.

A terrifying familiarity hit ZERO.

ZERO sneaks a sideways glance at Sayuri, and under the light of the red clouds, Sayuri's crystal clear eyes reflect a slight crimson.
