"Interestingly, this is the first time in the world that anyone dares to talk to me like that. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Dior sneered.

"You say this as if you are some kind of disciple," Su Xiang did not forget to add, "Also, don't say these words that people don't understand, although you yourself think it's very powerful, but everyone can't understand it, so you can only look at you as idiots." No matter how vaguely it is, it doesn't make sense for others to understand it. ”

"Shut up, you waste fox demon," Yu Jian slapped the table, "I'm not joking. You don't know if it's excusable, but I can see that you're going to be the kind of person who is interested in that. I can provide you with enough assistance, don't underestimate the human-computer network of any "monster", I can find everything you need. ”

"But at what cost?" Dior furrowed.

"This thing. ”

Amami Ken took out a pocket watch from his pocket. The bright silver shell, the plain chain, does not look anything special. But the fact that Yumi Sword will take out this thing means that it is not an ordinary product. Dio looked at Yumijian, expecting her to give an explanation. Yumi Ken opened the lid of the pocket watch, and the pointer inside pointed to 12 o'clock. This pocket watch has only one hour hand.

"This thing was given to me by someone, and she calls herself 'DIO'," Amami said lightly, "This thing can reverse your 'fate'." ”

"This is what you call a "magic weapon"?"

"Maybe, maybe it's a mysterious prop I don't know, even if I call this pocket watch an "artifact", I won't have any doubts," Amami put the thing in front of Dior, "Dead relatives and friends, the battle that is bound to be lost, your future, and even time, just press this button, and it can "turn everything around". Unfortunately, this item has the ultimate curse. This was told to me by the previous generation of "DIO", so I will tell you as it is. ”

"Do you see this hour hand? Every time you use it, it advances by one block and an hour. When the clock hand points to 12 o'clock again, you will die, regardless of your eventual reversal of fate. ”

"You mean..."

Dio picked up his pocket watch and shook it at the Amami sword.

“... You're going to give me this handy item and give me a lot of help? there's nothing more expensive in the world than free, and I don't think you'd do that. Besides, I don't think you haven't used it once since you got it. ”

"Don't you understand?" Amami squinted, "I'm just a 'human', why have I lived like a monster for so long?" Of course I've used this thing, more than once. ”

"And now this pocket watch points to 12 o'clock...", Dior suddenly realized.

"And I'm still alive," Amami said lightly, "It's not necessarily a 'convenient prop', it doesn't matter to me anymore, now that I'm sitting on everything I want, I'm not interested in any of these things, and you... You're just like me, Dio Connor. I have been wandering in this world for thousands of years, and now my interest is to see you weak people struggling to survive in the midst of fate, I have witnessed all the joys and sorrows, love and hatred of human beings in this world, and I am used to seeing the ugly posture of human beings, and I want to see "evil beings" like you standing at the top of the world. ”

"I firmly believe that human beings can break through any obstacle and reach the top, I believe that human beings can be fearless of fate, and I believe that human beings can do anything for the sake of small hopes. So... Satisfy me! With your gesture, let me see the future that I have never seen before!"

――――

The Forbidden City, the capital of the Ming Empire. In the huge city of Nanjing, only this place is brightly lit, day and night, and all time seems to have stopped. However, Liao Xueqing, the company commander of the Third Company of the Shenji Battalion, and Zi Buyu, an agent of the West Factory, asked to see the current saint in the middle of the night, but it was quickly approved. The Emperor was a complete monster, as rumored. But Liao Xueqing was stopped outside the dormitory by Miao Mucan.

"I'm sorry, Miss Liao, my emperor only approved Zi Buyu to enter the dormitory. ”

"Tsk. Liao Xueqing smacked her lips dissatisfiedly and didn't say anything.

Before the two of them entered the dormitory, a piano sound was heard:

Meeting is fate, lovesickness is gradually entangled, but it is difficult to meet. The mountains are high and the road is far away, but there are thousands of miles together. Because of dissatisfaction, the mandarin dream became empty, so the photograph, Tuo Hongyan, quickly passed on. I like to open the seal, hold the jade photo, and take a closer look, but I see the cherry lips red, the willow eyebrows, the starry eyes are watery, and the love is longer. How can infinite love be sought? Looking southeast, a song of phoenixes begging for phoenixes.

"Good one' singing and dancing to level Nanjing City, Jiuchi Meat Forest Forbidden City. Zi Buyu snorted coldly, and when he saw Zhu Yuanfang for the first time, he said with a slash on his face, "Zhu Yuanfang, you are the ghost of this matter." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yuanfang glanced at the geisha on the side with dissatisfaction, sipping wine, "If you are explaining what happened in the Empire, then I can tell you that everything that happened in the Ming Empire is either my will or my acquiescence." Do you think that's acceptable?"

"This guy," Zi Buyu glanced at the geisha beside Zhu Yuanfang, "What about 'Nagisa Xia', isn't she already dead, why is she here?"

"Long time no see, Zi Bu Si," Nagisa chuckled, "I think you should have come too, waiting for you here." ”

“... Could it be that you are..."

"You Guang, the last time we met was almost two thousand years ago," You Guang glanced at Zhu Yuanfang, "What should I do? How do you solve the problem of our fox demon coming to the door? He is not someone you can send away with a sentence or two." ”

"Zi Buyu, have you started working hard for Dior?" Zhu Yuanfang closed his eyes, directly picked up the wine jug on the side, and poured wine into his mouth.

"That's none of your business, I wonder why you're so attached to her. Zi said dissatisfiedly.

"It's no wonder that you weren't involved in the events of the year, so you don't know," Zhu Yuanfang wiped the wine from the corner of her mouth, "You should know what she will do." Four thousand years ago, Yumi Jian had already done the same thing. For her, this world is not important, nothing is important, a "monster" who lives only for her own desires/desires, a "monster" that is more terrible than the sword of the rain. ”

"You mean Dior, that little girl?" Zi sneered.

"No, it's 'DIO'," Zhu Yuanfang shook his head, "she's not herself now, it's a monster named 'DIO'. In the past 4,000 years, when human society has stabilized, 'she' will appear. Although many excellent human beings have resisted the temptation of infinite power and chosen to bear the curse of "DIO" alone, one day, that book will reach the right people. That's when I need to do something, and that's my destiny. Although I can't tell you the truth yet, I have a request, not as the emperor of the Ming Empire, but as a "creature of this world". ”

"You mean..."

"Humans only need to be guided, and they will move forward where I want," Zhu Yuanfang narrowed his eyes, "I won't let 'her' come again, and I won't do what only hypocrites do." Even the slightest negligence will destroy this world, I have to do this, Zi Buyu, I need your help. Please believe in Dior, please do anything for her, give everything you have for her, let her trust you, let her not have you without you. ”

“......”

"She lacks trust and love, lives in a stinky ditch, and will eventually lose everything she has," Zhu Yuanfang smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "At that time, she will despair and no longer have any expectations for the world." In that case, she won't hesitate to see the arrival of "DIO", and the world will fall into disaster again. Let her be hopeful, if it's you, she can do it. ”

“... Unfortunately, I don't have much interest in this world. ”

Zi Buyu didn't agree, what kind of feelings were behind his expressionless face?

"It has nothing to do with me how the world is, and I don't think she will need me, even if she has someone in need, it won't be me," Zi Buyu snorted coldly, "Zhu Yuanfang, don't think that no one knows what you do." She's going to meet Craigwen, and you've planned it. The Ming Empire asked the Hunters Department to explore the North Pole, and it just so happened that Craigwen, who worked for the "Ming Empire", was there, and all her actions until now were under your control, and if you let Dior know about these things, it would be the last thing you wanted. You've been going against your ideas from the beginning and just hope you don't regret it. ”

“！”

"Now that you've got the information, goodbye. Zi Buyu didn't hesitate and turned to leave.

Zhu Yuanfang and You Guang didn't stay, but when she stepped out of the dormitory, the sound of the piano and singing came again:

After a farewell, the two places hang on each other. Although it is March or April, who knows five or six years. The lyre is played without intention, the eight-line book is not transmitted, the nine rings are broken from it, and the ten-mile long pavilion wants to be pierced. Hundreds of thoughts, thousands of thoughts, all kinds of helplessness to resent.

Zi Buyu paused for a moment, and then strode forward again.
