May 18, 9 p.m

"......" Bai Ya sat silently on the lawn and looked up at the starry sky in the city, for her living in hell, this scene is another degree and Nimfu can not see, as she said, she is a rare honor student, and even said that the degree of grasp of many things is more accurate than that of living people, but her understanding can only be limited to the knowledge in books, for so long she seems to have done nothing but soy sauce, she can only watch the helpers around her continue to suffer......

"I'm so useless......"

"It's good that you know" The sudden indifferent voice from behind her made Bai Ya scream suddenly, and when she was talking to herself, she was suddenly discovered, and the embarrassment was no less embarrassing than being photographed when she was X, which is a great shame!

"I didn't mean to, who told you that the place where you were sitting was too dangerous" A little broad palm grabbed her shoulder and steadied her in place, and then she remembered that she was sitting on the corner of the cliff, and if she didn't pay attention, she might have fallen

"I have a feather coat... So it doesn't matter" Bai Ya blushed a little and revealed the matter, but she quickly remembered something

"Yes, yes! Forgot to recycle the evil spirits! Thinking of this, Bai Ya hurriedly stood up, "I'm sorry! Did you make the other party wait? ”

"I killed you directly, it doesn't matter" Chong sat down casually before he said lightly, "Anyway, it's just a gesture, and besides, I don't like that thing."

"Do you want me to clear my memories now?"

"No need, there are fewer people involved this time, I'll just do it myself when Remi Kanzaki and Hideyoshi Onizuka come back from France" Chong's every word seemed to be an invisible blow to Bai Ya's self-confidence, so what could she do to help him? Or is it enough to hand him the headdress and let him solve it alone?

"Don't think you're too great, don't think you're too useless," but Chong denied this choice: "The guy who is willing to fall has no future, and the hero who thinks he can save everyone is only reduced to a third-rate"

“…… If you think about it, you seem to be the one who has walked the farthest road with me," Chong leaned back, had he ever had the experience of lying in the grass and chatting with people while looking up at the starry sky? It seems that I can't remember clearly, "I give up something every time I walk a way, my family, friends, people I love, people who love me, keep walking step by step, there is no time to look back, as if I have lost as long as I look back"

"You say...... Is my life worthwhile?" the question made Bai Ya silent for a moment, but it was only silence, and her body naturally made an answer

"Sha" blushed a little and put his hand around the crook of his arm, and then lay down on the position of the heart, warm, the heart was undoubtedly beating, full of vitality, and at the same time different from others

"I know you're sad, so, so it's only this time" Bai Ya actually knew very well in her heart that the one who was comforted was actually herself, tolerating her mistakes, never complaining or questioning, Jieyun Chong gave others what he had never gotten, it was not empty talk from books

"I used to think... Even now I think so, love and family and friendship are different, family will have everyone at the beginning, friendship will part ways with you sooner or later, but love should be promised for a lifetime "Is your life worthwhile?" There seems to be no way for her to answer this question: "How unfair is it to keep cheating, to give up like a joke, or to wander between two ends and not be able to choose?" ”

"I'm not complaining... I just feel that my head is rising, if I don't talk to someone, sooner or later, I will be driven crazy by myself" Tear apart every byte, every minute and every second will always be in his memory, as long as you close your eyes, you will naturally torture and seduce yourself, and for others, the memories that are understated are like a thousand pounds to Jieyun Chong, why can't I say it? Who has the right for me not to say it?

"But no matter what, you can't seek death," Bai Ya said seriously, and then exerted some force on her hands, "If you are unhappy, just tell someone, no matter where you are, there will be people who will listen to your words...... Sorry"

"......" didn't make any answer, what did Jieyun Chong go through before he suddenly lay here as if he couldn't hold it anymore, showing a little tiredness? It's just a simple repetition of what he has done in the past, but only today does he seem to understand how strange those so-called "repeated" pasts are, he wonders if his life has always been under the control of others, when he was born, when he left, and still is, he just escaped from one small cage to another

"I... deceived a girl's love" so far is all based on the "fulfillment of other people's wishes",In other words, it's not that the other party likes him.、What you want is just to let others confide in yourself to give self-liberation.,But this time it's not the case.,There was a girl who fell in love with him out of her own will.,And he actually responded to that love without knowing it.,It's a crime he can't tolerate.,It's impossible for him to redeem it in his whole life.、 A stab in someone else's heart

There were some words that he didn't say until he left, and Akizuki Ellie...... It's just a material at all, what is a material? It was just a stumbling block in front of Yukumo Chong waiting to be kicked away by him himself, perhaps because everything else that happened to him was too tense and exciting, whether it was becoming a god killer, confronting Sherlock Holmes, getting caught up in his own memories, stepping into that wonderful Gensukyo, and arriving in a foreign country called the Land of Zero...... Even the Holy Grail War that I participated in out of my own volition and the automatic entry into the virtual world called SAO all seemed to be specially arranged by others, and each time period was perfectly staggered, and each time I chose the place where the war was most likely to detonate came to an abrupt end, what did I get out of it... And what is lost from it?

Eri Ayase, Cecilia, Tomono Kafu, Rika Furu, Yuki Nagato, Ai Enma, Novaro, and now Akizuki Ellie, there is a connection between them...... That is, either he is similar to me, or he wants me to make a choice, in other words, someone is deliberately making him "a certain being", an existence that only the body can be considered "unique".

-- There are no evil spirits in Akizuki Ellie's body

(What is the purpose of hollowing me out again and again, and asking me to look in the mirror called myself...) Similar to me are Rika Furute, Yuki Nagato, Ai Enma, and Ellie Akizuki, and the ones who asked me to make a choice and even deny my "past" were Eri Ayase, Cecilia, Tomono Kakaze, and Novalo, who were behind them?

Ancient hand pear blossom -- star

Nagato Yuki -- Shadow

Enma loves -- quiet

Autumn Moon Ellie -- knot

Eri Ayase -- playing

Cecilia -- cast

Xiangfeng Zhinai -- war

Novalo -- rebellion

If you include "weaving", Nimfu, who intersected more during that time, belongs to the latter, and is also one of the people who have to make their own choices, yes, as long as they are related to this so-called "love mission", there will be "coincidental" knights behind them who are not in the war stage, and they are always more or less related to this matter...... So are these knights different?

"Playing", "casting", "fighting", and "betraying" are not hostile to me, but they are the opposite of me

"Star", "Shadow", "Stillness", and "Knot" are hostile to me, but they are the same as me

(No...) I don't know what that means...... How can you deceive yourself if you want to deny all this but can't find a reason to convince yourself? Countless conditions point to the "truth", why deny all this?

-- Because, that's what he told me

"Mourning ......" couldn't help but spit out the word out of his mouth, whether it was disgusting youkai, whether it was hating dolls, whether it was walking on the path that he had insisted on so far, or even refraining from loving others...... That's what you taught me! But why... Why do I now realize that these are all wrong! Am I too stupid or are you... You......

-- Your ............ Fooled me?

postscript

"Once you've planted it, it's hard to pull it out," the man said in a breezy tone, and the response was a little off topic

"It's not time for them to come out yet, so they haven't arrived" The woman named Cast knelt down respectfully and said, "Kami-sama, everyone else has already arrived"

"The shadow sent his own demons, and the other music and battles are coming, and the woman is also here" and kneeling on the other side is a girl named Rebel, which is really a bit too amazing, because both of them are listed in one of the knights' seats, and they themselves are above tens of millions of people, even the gods don't want to make them kneel, but at this time they are indeed kneeling

"It's big... "Although Knot held back the fear in his heart, his face was still frighteningly blue, was he joking? Even the "meeting" in September was spontaneously organized, and there had not been a single person gathering together in those two years, especially since the person who had gathered should have died...... That night, she clearly saw that he died at the hands of the planet's inhibiting forces!

"I just wanted to talk to you about something, everyone else is just here to listen" Compared to a few months ago, the apparently changed momentum briefly grabbed her throat, and there was no time to activate the ability, and the blade grazing her neck mercilessly before she could start the thought, that was a signal

"Presumptuous!"

"Do you want to be eaten by me" Cast and Rebel acted almost at the same time, guns and claws, weapons with a serious sense of the times, were already aimed at the most vulnerable vital points in her body, and it was still difficult for her to speak one-on-one, let alone five against one now

"Can't get ...... hands"

"Sorry ......" Zhan Wa Yue leaned against the stone wall but deliberately shifted his gaze, that was natural, if he helped at this moment, it would only usher in a one-sided ending, and any one of the three alone would be enough to bite their throats

"It's better not to act rashly, even if you really want to be four against three, you don't have any advantage, as long as that crazy woman restrains me, you will die here" The crows hovering in the sky have already cut off all her life

"The reason... I shouldn't have been as overly as Xing or Ori to ...... "like a knot being judged in the face of death, and my tone couldn't help but tremble, "Death... My lord, if you want to kill me, please at least give a reason."

"It's not that I want to kill you, I just want to negotiate a deal with you" Even though he has appeared many times, but until this moment he has not really been named by name, he is a great hero -- Death, a man who once "commanded" all knights by relying on the power of only one person in the past

"...... deal?"

"One of your students is a young man named Lelouch Lampeluki, right, he is the prince of Britaria," said in a slightly nonchalant tone, "although I have considered other candidates, he seems to satisfy me the most."

"What do you mean......?" Knot had a slight premonition

"There's going to be a shipment to Gunma Prefecture on June 18th, and I want your students to see it, and of course, there's one person there," he said, without any questioning in his tone, but he couldn't understand why

"Wait? What cargo? Whose? ”

"A woman from Britalia, with green hair and a name of C.C., will also rush to Japan at that time, and Zhan and Zero will also rush over on July 6th, I sincerely hope that there will be no conflict between you and Kana," said the general in a slightly slower tone, and when the knot turned his head, he could only wave his hand helplessly to indicate that the cooperation was unpleasant

"Why......"

"Sooner or later, the Japanese side will give up something, so I have to find a backer for those who are abandoned, and Britalia seems to have survived as a great power for a long time...... But it's also coming soon, and in about a year or so, their emperor will be Lelouch Vi Britannia" This sentence sounds a bit fantastical at all, what can Lelouch take to rebel against Britalia, where the imperial power is highly concentrated? And what is the name of getting "another person" involved?

"If you say yes, it won't take long for your wish to come true, neither Hoshi nor Ori have found them, so what about your answer" Yan laughed softly, and it was impossible for Yu to refuse

"I... ......"Do you feel ashamed by betraying your student's future to the person in front of you, or are you excited that your wish may be fulfilled?" Even she didn't know about the problem

"Where did you get such accurate information......" Before turning to leave, he couldn't help but hesitate to ask, whether it was speculation or prediction, the time range between them was a little too huge

“…… Maybe it was because he was silent for a while before he looked back, and the pupils changed from a dull ink color to an ancient gold

"My Majesty learned from you"

Note 1: I didn't expect to use this way to complete the foreshadowing of the Crown of Sin...... Originally, I just wanted to be a mentor and a friend, why did the "mourning" go further and further on the road of the mastermind behind the scenes?

Note 2: One thing I care about, as of chapter 23, I have rewritten the chapters before chapter 23, but when anyone looks at it, they find that they are still from the previous chapters? It's the kind where the title is changed but the content hasn't changed.,If there is, I may have to delete it and post it again.,Because you can delete the chapter after signing the contract.
