40. Seventy-three - heterochromia
Seeing the "target" disappear in front of them, the Avenger with a pair of gray eyes turned cold.
The chains he had held on to them were still crackling, and from time to time a blue-purple light rushed through the surface.
The short Avenger standing beside him scratched his chin: "Gone?" Is there an enchantment here? ”
The Grey-Eyed Avenger did not respond. He knew that this was Penglie's territory, and it was better to say that the place with the enchantment must be Penglie's forbidden land, as long as they didn't want to completely tear their faces with Penglie and form a mortal enmity, they couldn't take a step into the enchantment no matter what.
No matter how bad the relationship between the Avengers leadership and Penglie is, they have not reached the point of hatred for each other. For the sake of an uncertain goal, worsening the relationship between the two parties is not worth the loss no matter how you look at it.
Even if they tried to enter, they would be blocked by the barrier. Not to mention whether they can break the barrier, I am afraid that as soon as they touch the barrier, they will be perceived by Penglie's special department, which will then cause even more trouble.
"Since there is Penglie's barrier ahead, how did that boy get in?"
The short avenger's eyes widened in surprise, and the turquoise cat pupils stared longingly at the gray-eyed avenger: "Could it be ...... Is he really the wielder of the Sword of Damocles? Ulysses? ”
The man who was called Ulysses did not say a word. As if to confirm something, he closed his eyes and carefully perceived, and gathered a pair of gray eyes under the eyelids with cyan veins. I don't know what I sensed, but suddenly, the muscles of his face wrapped in bandages spasmed violently for a moment.
“GiottoVongola。”
Biting out the name with compassion, the aura around Ulysses became violent and terrifying.
"This enchantment...... It was set up by Giotto Vongola. ”
At the same time.
Yuto, who opened the gate of the manor, walked into the empty and magnificent mansion. The key stuck in the keyhole shone brightly, then cracked into ashes and scattered to the ground.
The door behind him seemed to be pulled by a spring machine, and it closed behind him.
The light outside was once again cut off from the hall, and the whole space was pitch black, except for a long spiral staircase, lonely at the end.
The hall was empty, and there was nothing but the long staircase with a red carpet.
Youdou hesitated for half a second, wanting to go upstairs to investigate.
But he had only taken a step when a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the place behind him that was engulfed by darkness, firmly clasping his waist. As soon as he pulled away, he was brought into a warm embrace, his chin slightly pounding against his left shoulder, and his breath was hot and rapid, spraying on the side of his earlobe.
After that, he heard a familiar voice.
"Finally...... It's waiting for you. ”
……
Looking at the information in her hand, Arya's overlapping ten fingers tapped lightly, and a swaying black shadow hung down on the table.
"These killers were really sent by Iemitsu, and thanks to Youdoujun, they were all able to escape."
Her deputy, Gamma, hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't suppress the doubt in his heart, and said in confusion: "Sawada Iemitsu...... Why was a kill order issued for such a teenager? Just because of the Penglie Ring? …… But wasn't the half of the big empty ring quickly returned to the family by the young man, and with Dino in the middle, the young man didn't use the ring to make anything...... In the case that this matter has not been completely clarified and there may be other hidden circumstances, how could Sawada Iemitsu not have any confrontation, and he didn't even give a chance to defend himself, and wanted to put the young man to death? ”
This decision that leaves no room for room and is not close to humanity is really not like Sawada Iemitsu's usual style.
"That's what makes it lovely about Iemitsu as a father." Arya affirmed, "For Tsunamishi-kun's sake, he must do this. ”
"For Sawada Tsunayoshi?"
"Yes." Perhaps only those who are also parents can understand and understand each other's painstaking efforts. The chief of Quirio who already has a daughter? Arya thought. "Let's move around, Gamma. What if it's my Yoni who is experiencing this kind of thing now...... There is one person who can be exactly what she is, and all that counts—status, glory, connections, relationships...... It's possible that every one of her qiē will be taken away by this person, and even this big empty pacifier, which is not a good thing, only recognizes this person, not my Yoni, what do you think? ”
“…… That's not going to happen, and until then, I'll kill that person. ”
"So...... Even you say that," Arya sighed, "As a father's family light, how can he tolerate Youdoujun's cunzài."
"Even if that hasn't happened yet, it's just a possibility...... But, Sawada Iemitsu, can't afford that possibility.
"Whether it's as a father or as a warrior who guards Pengle, he can't let go of this possibly small but absolutely terrifying possibility.
"Even if it offends Dino and violates his own morality, he has to do it.
"What's more, Youdoujun's ability is too much of a coincidence...... They are all the future guardians of Tsunayoshi-kun, and even though I know that there is another reason for this, Iemitsu doesn't know about it. ”
Arya stood up and pinned a strand of her long hair to the base of her ear, "Now I just hope that ...... 'he' can find it before Ikomitsu." ”
Gamma wondered, "He? ”
Arya's lips lifted slightly, but she smiled.
……
The scorching breath clung to the entire back.
After the initial stiffness, Yuto discerned the familiarity that the voice brought him, as if there was a trace of unreadable emotion that spread over his heart, imprinting shallow traces.
Pengle...... I. World? ”
The arm around the waist suddenly stiffened, and the lip flap that was very close to the ear emitted a very low, as if confused whisper: "You......?" ”
Then a hot hand gently rested his jaw, and with a slight force, he had to turn his head to meet the golden red pupils that were close at hand.
The ears and temples are against each other, and the breath can be heard.
The brief glance made the golden figure's eyes tremble, and the fog in his eyes faded mostly.
"How can it be ......," the man's expression was slightly grim, carefully wiping the dust off Youdou's face, "...... your other half of your soul?" ”
Yuto gave the man a strange look, whether it was the other party's words and actions, or the eyes that could almost burn people, he couldn't understand.
"Penglie I. World?"
This man is really the one that Louis brought from the future...... No, no, in terms of the density of the spirit body, it seems to be very different from the previous one.
If the one before is a candle that can illuminate every inch, then the person in front of him is the sun hanging high in the universe and covering the four seas.
He is more than a mere fragment of consciousness.
Hearing Yuto's name, Giotto's face suddenly changed, and the fingers that stopped next to his cheeks tightened, showing a stiff posture along with his voice, "What do you call me?" ”
Youdou was puzzled: "Aren't you Penglie I. Shi?" ”
With the faint golden light coming from behind him, Yuto clearly saw the expression of the blonde young man at this moment.
Indescribable, more incomprehensible than any obscure reference book, yet more profound than any telling...... Mourning.
