21. Replica – Red
Unlike the crew members I saw before, the figure in front of me, although it was also lifeless, was not a thoughtless and false image.
His body exudes a strong spiritual power, which is obviously an entity condensed by spirit and consciousness, similar to the existence of a mental body and a fragment of the soul.
This feeling is the same as that of the "Penglie I." who lived in Louis.
Hearing Youdou's voice, the blonde young man who was originally focused on the things in his hand turned his head, his clear eyes were still silent, but compared to the appearance when they first met, he seemed to be a little more sane and sober.
The change seemed a little insignificant, the blonde youth's expression was still slightly faint, and there was no additional fluctuation in his pupils, just staring at Yuto quietly.
Suddenly, the blonde youth slowly raised his hand, his slender arms raised to shoulder height, and the mask painted with the fox's face blocked the view between the two.
From this point of view, it seems that the blonde youth is standing on the other side, comparing something with a fox mask.
Yuto didn't understand the intention of this act, so he simply walked over, took the mask from the blonde youth's hand, and put it on his face.
For no other reason, he simply liked the pattern on the mask.
Through the two holes in the mask, Yuto could clearly see that the blonde youth's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he quickly regained his calm.
Yuto took off his mask, and a question naturally came to his mind.
"What are you doing here?"
"Wait for someone."
"Wait for someone?"
Blonde young man with jaw head.
"Waiting for whom?"
The blonde youth did not reply, but reached into his neckline with his fingertips, and pulled out a string of ornaments that were worn close to his chest and hidden in his clothes.
The red rope of the ornament was torn off by him, but he didn't care, the hand holding the red rope didn't pause, and handed it directly to Youdou.
"What is this?" The scanner that came with him told him that the thing in front of him was an ordinary dead thing, but there was also a faint layer of spiritual power lingering on it.
"Keys."
The blonde young man told him the answer, and what was lying in Youdou's palm at the moment was indeed a key.
Unlike modern keys with various serrated grooves, the shape of the key in front of me is quite ancient, the main body is a smooth cylinder, with only a small protrusion at the very tip, engraved with irregular shapes.
Yuto couldn't tell the material of the key, but he could see that it was beautifully made, and the handle at the top was carved with intricate patterns, like a crown made of metal, covering the small key.
In addition, there is a short chain at the top of the key, and a sapphire the size of a grain of rice tied to the other end, which is carved in the shape of a bellflower with unimaginable carving.
Yuto became more and more puzzled.
"Why give it to me?"
This time, there was still no answer.
The blonde youth took a step back. Further on, there are several oil paintings clinging to the wall.
He stood in the middle of "Imaginary Country" and "The Gleaner", and his face gradually blurred in the pale orange light that suddenly rose from the entire space, like fireflies.
The whole space was like a crumpled puzzle, shattered from the whole world into pieces, and quickly disappeared with a faint light.
Standing at the center of the puzzle, Penglie I. is also immune, his figure cracks like glass, and the whole world is reduced to fragments.
Yuto froze in place, the red-painted mask slipping from his hand and falling to the ground in a dull state.
This change came too suddenly, which made Youdou unexpected, and what surprised Youdou even more was the arc of his lips before the disappearance of "Penglie I."
Yuto picks up the mask that fell to the ground, only to find that the mask looks like a castle made of sand, and with the strength of his grasp, it turns into scattered white sand.
The food that he put aside when he came in and belonged to this space also turned into the same white sand, which was blown by the wind and soon disappeared.
As with the entire space, it disappears completely.
The last inch of ground beneath his feet was in ashes, and he heard a sound that was not unfamiliar.
"Little Youdou!"
Looking back, the dazzling blonde hair and honey-colored eyes seemed familiar, but the similar color did not belong to the mysteriously disappeared Penglie I.
"Dino."
Dino ran to Yuto with a slight gasp: "Are you okay?" ”
Yuto shook his head.
"......" Dino was about to say something, when he suddenly saw the red rope in his hand, and his attention couldn't help but turn upward, "This thing is...... The key to the last century? ”
“…… Last century? ”
"There will be no mistake, this key is from the 17th to 19th centuries, and there are still many people collecting ......it," said Dino, who suddenly realized a little strange, "Where did this thing come from?" ”
“……”
"Little Yuto?"
Yuto was silent, and put the key away with a calm face.
Realizing that Youdou's silence may be a sign of refusal to answer, Dino couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad at the moment.
Finally, he no longer asks what to answer as before, what is a good thing, after all, he also educates the other party in this way, and after having a sense of confidentiality, he is not afraid of the secret leakage of Xiao Youdou's body, which will attract the peep of people with a heart.
But when the object of secrecy is yourself...... This feels like the son who has always been open to himself suddenly has his own little secrets and no longer shares the troubles of youth with himself, no matter how open-minded the father is, he will have a faint sense of loss, but he has to sigh "The son has finally grown up".
This is probably the sadness that belongs to the daddy alone.
……
…………
Ahh
Dino hurried to dispel the terrible thought.
How could he have been brainwashed by Louie's guy, Xiao Youdou is his cute little clansman, if he is also a younger brother, what a son, bah.
The young chief, Monsieur Wang Dino, firmly rejected the title of daddy and asked, "What about Louie?" Did Yuto see him? ”
The answer, of course, is no.
Dino pressed his temple and exhaled.
Although he had expected such a situation from the moment the space collapsed, he didn't expect that in the end, it was Louie who was really lost.
"Now that we're no longer on the ship," Dino couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows at this, "It seems that that dream-like space is not pure, and it can actually send us to this place......"
Yuto glanced around, and all he could see was lush trees.
"What is this place?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be ......" Dino glanced at the sign in his hand that read "Bear Infested", and a subtle expression appeared on his face, "Mountain of Death." ”
“…… A mountain that will die if you walk in? ”
"Ah...... No," Dino waved his hand, deciding to justify the name of this mountain range with fresh air and clear sand, "It's not that you will die if you come in, it's just that this place is dangerous......"
"Like that?" Yuto reached out and pointed upward, a look of affirmation in his eyes.
Dino looked up, and his expression, which was originally clear and shallow, suddenly expanded to "=mouth=".
At the top of the mountain, about 100 meters above, on the cliff, hangs a thin figure with a red/striped/striped.
The figure struggled to grasp a stone on the cliff, and its body dangling in mid-air swayed and staggered.
Listen carefully, a cry for help flew out of the man's abdomen, twisting and turning.
"Help, help—"
Just by listening to the voice, Dino can recognize it.
That's the younger brother who is being educated by his own teacher, Tsunayoshi Sawada.
Dino stiffly turned his head back, and looked at his little clansman who was full of verification, not knowing what to say.
"Anyway...... Let's go save people first. ”
Although he knew that this was the way Reborn, the ghost/animal teacher, honed and "loved" his apprentices, he still couldn't stand by and watch his own junior brothers (difficult brothers).
But when he rushed to the top of the mountain as fast as he could, and grabbed his junior brother who was almost falling off the cliff, he realized that he seemed to have missed an important issue.
"Saved! Thank you Dinosan, and ......" Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was busy shivering in the cold wind and getting dressed, moved, "Heji-kun, are you there too?" ”
Yuto looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi without any expression, and for a while, he turned his head to look at Dino,
"Did Penglie I. dye his hair?"
"Ah no," Dino quickly denied, "this is not the ...... But they do have a blood connection......"
Yuto nodded thoughtfully.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was a little puzzled: "Hell Temple-kun, what are you talking about?" ”
Yuto crouched down and stared straight at Tsunayoshi Sawada.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was so furious by him that he unconsciously moved back, almost falling under the cliff again.
"Prison, prison, prison, prison, temple ......?!"
"What's your name?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi was confused and dazed.
What's going on?
Jiji Jun ...... Don't remember him?
