"That's enough, Yue, what the hell do you want to do?" Nagisa Xia shook off Sixteen Night's hand, sweat soaked Ni Dress, looking very miserable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sixteen Nights didn't look much better, and the 'competition' with Dio left small scars on his body, although he was almost healed, but the blood was still all over his body.

“... Don't you feel sad? Being treated like this by the Ming Empire. "Sixteen nights gasped for breath and temporarily shook off the pursuers of the Ming Empire, but it didn't mean that they were safe.

"That's why I'm going to do something like this, not just me, Month, maybe all I've done is to get one more story in tomorrow's newspaper, and in a few days everyone will forget it, and no one will remember. This is a seed, month, and one day there will be people in the same situation as me who lament the sadness of their fate, and this neon dress is not just a dusty woman named Nagisa. ”

"So don't you think you should live?" Sixteen Nights smiled slightly, "Even if all this is false, there is only hope that it is true, as long as you are willing to believe... There was once a person like himself who escaped the sick ritual system of the Ming Empire and gained freedom..."

“... month, you still don't understand. ”

Nagisa sighed, when the Sixteen Nights Resources helped her with this series of 'terror/attacks', she should have refused. She understood Sixteen Nights' feelings—they were of the same mind, but Sixteen Nights did not intend to sit idly by and watch Nagisa die. The 'selfish' friend longs for his only dependence to survive, even if it is for himself.

"As long as I survive, in the future, you, Misakiya will still have to face a never-ending hunt, and your name will be on the UN's wanted list until you die. ”

"I know, you want me to leave you here alone, and then when you're dead, they can put all the blame on you, so that I can take Saki Ye away and fly away without any psychological burden at all, is that possible?"

“... I'm glad you say that, though... But... Well, I see. ”

Nagisa folded her hands on her abdomen, her eyes lowered, and the faint sadness flashed from her face. Sixteen Nights looked exhausted, and her spirit was on the verge of collapse with a lot of abilities, the most convenient item for monsters and humans, always making all those who use it dependent, ignoring its 'minor' side effects.

If overused, there is a high chance that one of her physical and mental forces will be hit indelibly, like an adrenaline rush that bursts out of incredible power when people are at their limits, and as a result, they may die because of the damage they cause to their bodies. According to reliable sources, a soldier in the Hunter Department once became a 'cripple' after overusing his abilities, and although he was barely alive, he needed to be taken care of even for food and daily life.

This is not reflected in Dio, who seems to use her abilities very sparingly. She may know this, or perhaps her abilities have many limitations.

"Let's go, the pursuers haven't been completely thrown off yet, maybe there are people who are good at tracking. "Sixteen Nights wiped the sweat.

She's at her limit, Nagisa understands. The distance of hundreds of kilometers from the high seas to the Yellow Dragon was a great burden on her by relying on human legs and the ability of the Sixteen Nights Moon alone.

"Yue, listen to me well," Nagisa Xia took two steps, and after a long escape, she was almost at the limit, "Do you think people need living heroes?"

"If you die, what's the point of all this? People will be afraid, afraid of death, afraid of being treated the same way as you, you will be pulled up to the platform, your head will be cut off and public, fear will seep into your brain... Now all people will be revealed, 'Those who wanted to be free will die.'"

"There will be people who are no longer satisfied with this kind of life, even if they are facing death, and beyond the fear of death, such a person can fulfill this long-cherished wish," Nagisa Xia immediately interrupted Sixteen Nights' words, she took Sixteen Nights' hands, held them with both hands, and folded their cold hands together, "Yue, under this feather robe, it is not only Nagisa, not just your friends, it is the thoughts of innocent people who are longing to be separated from the innocent people who have been framed by unjustified disputes. You saved me, and now I'm more than me, I long for the future and freedom, and I want you to understand, not just for this thought, but for you. I don't think this country is worthy of me, everything I do is voluntary, and no one will die for it, except me. ”

“......”

"My only wish now is not to forget me. ”

The time is approaching midnight. Neither she nor she are great people, and neither she will be willing to give everything for those who have nothing to do with them, but they will one day understand that everything they have held is nothing more than a touch of loess.

"Kill me, Sixteen Nights, if you still think I'm your friend, if you still have a little sense of responsibility for Sakuya, if you still feel the slightest guilt for Dio who shielded you from escaping there, then kill me, and let me die with this horned crown and this feather cloak. Today next year, you'll understand what you're trying to do..."

Sixteen Nights gasped for breath, she felt like she couldn't breathe, and her whole body was cold. She couldn't convince herself to do so, but Nagisa was looking at her, her eyes full of anticipation and a hint of sorrow. But she couldn't, even if she hurt her former friend a little.

“... Can't do it, right?"

Nagisa stretched out her hands and gently embraced Sixteen Nights into her arms, and the slightly cold bodies of the two overlapped. Spanning life and death, she can still embrace each other here, which is her great happiness.

She doesn't have any regrets anymore.

"One day, you'll end up alone like this... Month, I am only a human being, and I only allow myself to be a human being. At least until this body grows old, let me do the last thing for you in the most beautiful posture. Farewell, month... My dearest and dearest. ”

Everything in front of him was a little blurry, and in the sixteenth night, he realized what Zhu Xia had moved, which was the incense that many Qinglou were using after dilution. Nagisa kissed Sixteen Nights' forehead one last time, let go of her hand, and with the only strength she had left, she left the alley, and her figure disappeared from Sixteen Nights' vision.

Sixteen Nights was half-kneeling weakly, she couldn't make any moves, and her spirit was blurred, even if the amount of incense was only enough to last for tens of seconds, she was powerless to return to the sky.

Blood-spattered feathers, red-dyed clothes.

————

Dio didn't hesitate to pull the trigger, once, twice, three times, so fast that no one could react, and when she pulled the trigger for the fifth time, there was still no gunshot.

"Dio!

Yuru fell to the ground in a panic, clutching Dior's other hand. This is the first time that a girl has seen her like this, even in the face of the skull and bones club's pursuit and interception, and she is seriously injured, the girl has never shown half of her weakness. She slowly lowered the gun, and after a long time, she smiled at the rain as if she were relaxed, and then whispered in her ear:

"Don't forget my abilities. ”

She was just acting, Yuru should have noticed it, but she was afraid that she didn't notice Dior's small movements. After all, she was only thirteen years old.

“... Maybe as you said, Dior, I'm just a coward," Zhu Yuanfang pinched the sachet he tied to his hand, "As a 'monster', I am too derelict in my duty. You're good, you can be a better "monster" than me. ”

"I don't think there are many people in the world who can say such things in front of the world's first emperor, and I also think that I am very powerful. ”

Dior praised himself without blushing.

"But I don't intend to be famous all over the world, I don't want any official position, and I don't want to serve anyone, you'd better forget those polite words before, I don't think the talented Ming Empire doesn't need a "monster" like me. ”

"You have to understand that only the Ming Empire in the world will accept you as officials and citizens. ”

"Not necessarily, further east in the Pacific Ocean, there may be a place willing to accept a monster like me who has nothing special. Dio smiled coldly.

“... You mean Penglai?" Zhu Yuanfang raised his eyebrows, "Interesting, it seems that you don't have any interest in the world." ”

"As far as I know, Penglai also influences the world completely, doesn't it?"

"But Penglai is also at the center of the world's disputes, no matter what major things happen, it has nothing to do with Penglai, but it is just entering a deeper layer of the sea, fear, and the deep sea where there is no light. ”

"Your Majesty... Well, there was a notice from the West Factory that the attacker of the incident had been killed, and there was still one at large. Miao Mucan inserted it in time and reported to Zhu Yuanfang.

"That's all killed. ”

Zhu Yuanfang said undoubtedly.

"But... Your Majesty..."Miao Muchan glanced at Dio with some uneasiness.

"Chan, I said, the attackers have all been killed. Zhu Yuanfang shook his wine glass.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

It's over. Dio touched Yuru's head, and the girl understood very well that there was only one ending for Nagisa. When she chose so, the result was already doomed, no... Even the result of death itself is Nagisa's own choice. She is talented and can sing and dance, and it is precisely because of her extraordinary wisdom and vision that she sees things that others can't see, so she has such an ending.

"What did he say, Dio?" Yuru glanced at Miao Mucan.

"It's nothing, that's 'their' business. ”

Dio withdrew his gun and looked at the full moon in the distance.

"It's time for us to go, Emperor of the Ming Empire, and I hope we'll see you as soon as we arrive in Nanjing. ”

With that, Dio picked up Yuru and jumped off the boat. When Zhu Yuanfang saw her again, she had already arrived at the shore with Yuru.

"Annoying guy, isn't it? always pick out what you hate the most. Zhu Yuanfang shook his wine glass.

"It's a tiresome fellow, Your Majesty. ”
