CHAPTER XIV

I've been looking for you all this time, but you don't seem to want to come out to see me. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

Saying this, Reimu scoured the knife in her hand to the soft ground, freeing up one hand to ensure a more secure control of the pistol. In fact, if you really threaten the opponent at very close range, a pistol the size of a dagger is obviously much more effective than a long knife. Looking at the figure with his back to him, Reimu was a little impatient: "It's time for you to say something." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You really ...... these guys" seemed to reveal some kind of unbearable mood in her voice, and the ghost witch slowly turned around and looked at the "corpses" on the ground. The world was still the same as she had set it before, filled with black, white, and red like blood. Against the backdrop of the last red, the faces of the "corpses" on the ground looked even more miserable. Those people are all familiar to Reimu: Ge Yiwei, Marisa, Sanae, Ge Chengzhi, and so on. However, this time it was a little different from the previous situation: these corpses were not arranged by the ghost witch, but - - the opposite Hakuri Reimu slashed all the way. For this, the blood stains on the knife that have not faded can testify.

"It's all an illusion anyway, isn't it? Shrugging her shoulders, Reimu said lightly, "Okay, let's get down to business......

"Even if it's an illusion, if it was you before, you wouldn't have been able to do this kind of thing with your own hands. "The eyes looked at Reimu, who suddenly realized that the eyes of the ghost witch were no longer red, but normal black pupils," ...... To tell you the truth, you're the first to do this kind of thing. ”

"Okay, I don't care what I do, anyway, I have something to look for you. Impatiently firing a bullet that almost grazed the Oni Witch's scalp, Reimu said, "I want to become proficient in the use of knives and guns earlier." In the previous battles, I wasn't very ...... with either weapon."

"You've got it now. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Very familiar...... What are you talking about?" Blinking in confusion, Reimu looked at the Oni Witch with a suspicious look, "I've mastered it?"

"Yes, you've got it. How else did you get all the way here? Now, these things are yours. All the combat methods, combat techniques, and all sorts of other messy knowledge. It's all yours. Shrugging her shoulders in the same way as Reimu, the Oni Witch replied, "I really don't want you to be like this...... I never thought that a Hirori shrine maiden would become like this. The former Hakurei shrine maiden is not without the presence of a serious emotional blow, but with this as an opportunity the personality model becomes ...... How can I say it, qualified...... Something, but it's never been ......."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You seem to have revealed some great information. Slowly squinting her eyes, Reimu suddenly approached and clamped the neck of the ghost witch without any pressure. Surprisingly, the ghost witch who used to dodge Reimu attacks easily did nothing this time, and it wasn't to release water, but obviously unable to do anything, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. It's always all yours, including this mind space or something. Now, I just want to be an honest spectator in this small place. Really, trust me. With a helpless expression on her face, the Ghost Witch replied, "You should know that although this request is a bit excessive, considering the burden you have to shoulder, it is also important that 'emotional factors will affect the actual decision-making of the model owner as little as possible' considering ......the burden you have to shoulder."

"What the hell are you talking about!?"

"I'm talking about you, I'm talking about you. It's you, what more do you want? You've taken it all. Continuing to say these unclear words, the Oni Witch sighed, "Put me down, I'm a little tired." Why did things come this way......"

"I think a lot of it is your fault. ”

"Yes, I thought so too. Under Reimu's disdainful gaze, the Oni Witch nodded, "But believe me, all I want to do is for you to be able to understand more and better what your relationship is, I never thought it would turn out like this...... Ah, as for what I just mean, you...... Just look in the mirror. ”

This sentence made Reimu tilt her head slightly. Then, in the mirror that the witch took out, she saw her face now: frankly, it didn't seem to be any different from usual. Just as Reimu was about to question the Oni Witch further, she suddenly understood what the other party meant.

Her eyes began to slowly become bloodshot - a process that was completely different from a simple reddening, first the dense blood streaks gradually began to climb up the whites of the eyes, and then the pupils completely engulfed the filaments as if absorbed, and finally formed an eyeball without the slightest beauty.

Now, the blood-colored eyes that once belonged to the Oni Witch, along with everything it represented, have finally become the property of Hakurei Reimu.

"I came to a place about five meters from the door. Obviously, going forward will be a great challenge to my courage. I've never done anything so bold in my life: I've lived by the rules all my life. When I was in the orphanage, I was always the most obedient one, after being adopted by my grandfather, because I had received too much negative education before, I was quite honest, and my grandfather did whatever he wanted, and after entering the army, obeying orders became my vocation. I've never faced a moment that requires courage......"

"But now, I have to be courageous. I took courage and slowly approached there. One step, two steps...... Two meters, one meter...... Okay, now I'm standing here. ”

"So, what should I do?"

Even if he had reached this point, Ouyang Pingshui was still hesitating. He was scared, afraid that once he took this step, he would completely lose the last bit of good memories with Sanae. Originally, if he had cut it off, he might have been able to immerse himself in the beautiful illusion of the life of his loved one for a long time, and imagine himself as a sad hero when he recalled, but if this confession really failed......

Then your memories will be completely destroyed. When I think about today's events in the future, all I will leave behind is endless regret and pain. Taking a deep breath, standing in front of this building, Ouyang Pingshui believed that his next choice would determine his fate...... At least the fate of the rest of my life.

"Dangdangdang", he knocked on the door. The first knock was very slight and small, as if to leave a way for himself to escape immediately. But then, Ouyang Pingshui immediately relented, and knocked on the door loudly, looking very vulgar and impolite - including his trembling voice: "Miss Sanae...... Sanae-sanae, are you there?"

No one knows how long he has been waiting, but all in all, according to his mental perception, it may have been more than a year. During this period, the complex mood he had was also varied - I have to say that Shen Donghui was right, Ouyang Pingshui at this time was like a girl who thought of spring.

The door suddenly moved. Ouyang Pingshui swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling extremely nervous. However, the door did not open as expected, and an eye appeared in the small gap that was left behind: "Ah...... Mr. Ouyang. Is there something going on?"

Sanae's voice seems to have recovered quite a bit, but there are still obvious negative emotions. Ouyang Pingshui knew that if he didn't eliminate this emotion, he would never have hope: he had to let her come out of the shadow of "Mr. Ge" before she could accept new feelings. This is the biggest challenge that lies ahead of him.

"Sanae-sanae, I have something I want to talk to you about. Suddenly, I don't know why, Ouyang Pingshui's words began to speak exceptionally smoothly, surprisingly smooth, completely different from his usual introverted spitting, "I...... Can I go in?"

"Sorry, if there's anything going on, please talk about it here. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Can you tell me how I can make you happy now?"

Hearing this, Sanae suddenly laughed, and her smile was a little weak. She opened the door, but she didn't mean to invite Ouyang Pingshui inside: "Make me happy?" Mr. Ouyang, is it really important for you to make me happy?"

"Yes...... Very important, especially important. Even, more important than my own business. Having made up his mind, Ouyang Pingshui looked at Sanae's eyes and nodded vigorously, "I hope you can be happy." So, can you tell me what I should do?"

"Ah, it's not too difficult...... still maintaining that smile with an inexplicable sense of illusion, Sanae nodded and replied, "Can you bring Mr. Ge back?" Ah, it's Ge Yiwei, Mr. Ge, an accurate shooter in the 38th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and a student at Shijiazhuang No. 1 Middle School. His father's name is Ge Wenhao, his mother's name is Chu Xia, and his brother is your Ge Chengzhi squad leader. He's probably that tall, a little skinny, and he's wearing a camouflage uniform......"

"Morning, Sanae-sama, I ......"

"Listen to me!!!He's a big fan of fried shredded potatoes, better with more vinegar and salt, he's also very fond of fast food like compressed biscuits, but it's too unnutritious, he's a bit tricky about banquets and stuff, but now he seems to be much better, but he's still not good at big celebrations that he can't get involved in......

"Sanae-sama, please stop, you're talking too fast!"

"Listen to me!!!!"

Almost shouted at Ouyang Pingshui, something crystal splashed out of Sanae's eye sockets. Suddenly wiping her eyes with her hand, she took a deep breath, and suddenly returned to her previous voice: "Also, don't look at Mr. Ge, he usually seems to care about nothing, but in fact he cares about everything." He noticed everything, but there were things he didn't think he needed to say. And ah, he's just saying he doesn't care about anyone else, but in fact, ......"

Mr. Ge Mr. Ge is Mr. Ge again, and it has always been Mr. Ge, as if there is nothing of value in your life except for Mr. Ge. How is it possible? It is impossible! You are Sanae of the East Wind Valley! You have so much beauty that God has given you: beautiful, powerful, gentle...... Why would you want to waste yourself for such a man?

Ouyang Pingshui's fists clenched tightly. He believed that if there was that Mr. Ge standing in front of him right now, he might not be able to resist the punch and kill the other party at all. Finally, after enduring it for another minute, Ouyang Pingshui squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "...... So, can you let me replace him?"

The sound of this sentence is thinner than words, but it is keenly captured by Sanae. Somewhat incredulously stopped, she blinked: "You...... What did you just say?"

"I said, can you let me take his place? Although I can't speak, I'm introverted, and I'm incompetent, and I'm certainly not as good as your Mr. Ge...... But at the very least, I'll take responsibility instead of abandoning you alone in a place like this to grieve alone! I'm definitely not going to be that kind of scum!"

Ouyang Pingshui felt that shouting these words had consumed all the courage and strength of his life, so much so that he felt a little unsteady after performing this action. Coughing desperately twice, panting, he looked up to see Sanae's reaction to it, but was stunned by the sudden slap in the face.

"Don't...... Say bad things about Mr. Ge. ”

Even if she said this, Sanae's words were far less powerful than her slap, fluttering like a duckweed without roots. His body shook like words. After that, as if she had lost her soul, she walked into the house and closed the door, leaving only Ouyang Pingshui, who was stunned in place, silently swallowing a bitter emotion:

I'm ...... Failed, didn't you? Even if it was just to let her out of the shadows. Can't I even do this kind of thing......

"Responsibility, responsibility, responsibility, responsibility...... The most important thing for Mr. Ge is responsibility. It's because of responsibility that he left me here alone...... It's just to do your part!!!!"

In other words, he has completely abandoned the responsibility that should have been owed to you. Out of nowhere, Sanae seemed to be able to hear this kind of words faintly. Moreover, he had promised to take full responsibility for the three of you, but he ended up dying only for his own paranoia.

Yes...... It's really torture. And it's still torturing yourself......

"You don't have to be so painful, Sanae. ”

The door suddenly opened. It was Reimu who walked in. She sat down next to Sanae, who had curled up her body together, and spoke softly in a tone that she had never felt before.

"Do you remember what Xiaowei said? You are all equally selfish. Whether you are responsible or fall in love with others, you are actually just for yourself, for the sake of coveting your own spiritual pursuit. So, actually...... There's nothing bad about the plan he just proposed, right?"

"Reimu?" said the voice in confusion, and Sanae looked up. I don't know why, she had a strong sense of disobedience to the fact that it was Hakuri Reimu who said this, but her forehead was suddenly pressed by Reimu's forehead, and she felt a little warm and comfortable.

"Come to think of it, Sanae, you're a selfish guy. This is what Xiaowei said, and it can't be wrong. In other words, you originally fell in love with Xiaowei for your own spiritual comfort. In this case, it is also for this spiritual comfort, for the sake of getting rid of the present pain......"

"Trying to use Ouyang Pingshui as a substitute for Xiaowei, it's nothing, right?"

Sanae felt that her world had completely collapsed. Her consciousness had reached such a trance that she didn't even notice the obviously abnormal blood-red eyes that were close by.
