Chapter 28: The Will to Cross Borders
It was completely dark.
"It's over." Snow-white hair fluttered in the night breeze, and three years ago, the eyes of the two who had been master and servant met again, and each could experience something more varied and complex than the last time they had seen.
“…… Angela. ”
If she had a choice, Li Bai would not use this way to end the game, cutting her hands was her most disgusting way of fighting, if it weren't for the effect of the Cursed Coffin and the side effects of the Light Emperor to be considered positive and negative, she would definitely not have added this card to the deck.
It doesn't make any sense, it's just a simple dislike.
Angela was silent, Li Bai was not in a hurry to announce the end of the round, the clearing fell into a strange silence for a while, the atmosphere around him became more and more heavy, Asuka lying on the grass couldn't help but shake her body, and looked up suspiciously-the wind in this season doesn't seem to be cold enough to be so cold?
"yes, it's over." The silence didn't last long, but Asuka who heard Angela's voice again felt like a long time had passed, "Sure enough, your most shining point hasn't changed, and it's really naïve to think that you can be defeated by a light yì if you can't use all your strength." ”
"Angela......" Li Bai was surprised by the difference between her tone and before, but she didn't think about it seriously, she only wanted to pull the other party back from the influence of negative emotions now.
"Are you back to normal?" The blonde girl's brow was gone, just like Malik, who had been defeated by her years earlier.
"Do you still think I'm subconsciously being controlled?" Angela suddenly yelled at her, "Why are you always like this? Always pretending to think about others? I'm going to kill you, I'm your enemy! Mortal enemy! ”
"You ......" Li Bai was obviously at a loss for her reaction, and stopped thinking for a while, "However, you are too different from the previous you......"
"Haven't you changed a lot compared to three years ago?" As if feeling Li Bai's suppressed kindness to herself in her heart, Angela hung her head helplessly, letting her hair and its shadow cover her expression.
"Even if the control and influence are really existing, why can't I take the initiative to cooperate with them......"
"There's no way you're going to do that!" Li Bai interrupted her, his face turned blue, "You have almost witnessed the consequences of doing this!" Forgot? The guy who died at the top of the dueling tower! ”
"But he was right, absolutely right - the seed of darkness exists everywhere and in the heart of any person, it cannot be eradicated, and as long as there is the concept of thought in the world, it will be eternal and immortal." Angela looked up at her with a look that made Li Bai shiver.
"You haven't changed enough." She whispered.
"Perhaps, we had a period of peace, and you thought that time alone would be enough to know me—but now you must think about it: Do you know my past, do you know my childhood?"
"The answer is obvious...... every word is like a scratch on Li Bai's heart, "You don't know...... You don't even know if 'Angela Jon' is my real name. ”
Li Bai was speechless, every question Angela pointed out was so sharp, she couldn't avoid it, but she couldn't give an answer, she could only stand in place with her body stiff, trembling slightly.
It turned out that a lot of it was her self-righteousness.
It turns out that those seemingly tough things are so fragile.
That's because you've not done enough -- a voice in the back of her head said to her.
That's not right, she said to herself in her heart, blindly giving is also a deformed way to govern, no matter what, I can't be everyone's savior.
A faint black aura began to condense between her eyebrows, which was particularly weak and difficult to detect with the naked eye.
That's because she doesn't know what to do, you've given her a good treat, and she's going to kill you in turn, and it's unforgivable to make any excuse - another voice, full of viciousness.
The black gas began to increase.
……
Daitokuji wore a linen cloak that did not match his identity at all, and was half-kneeling on the floor.
"You lived up to my expectations, Toyo." He looked up and stared at his student, the junction of his chin and cheek spreading out at such a movement, like a cracked yellow earth under a long drought, without any moisture in it.
"In the final exam, you passed."
"Daitokuji Temple...... Teacher? Yucheng Shidai was confused by his eyes and words, "Wait a minute, what the hell are you talking about?" Isn't this duel about taking my keys? ”
He heard with his own ears that this teacher, who was usually just smiling, had admitted his identity as the King of the Seven Stars in the duel just now, so he would use all his strength to defeat him - the keys of the rest of the people were taken away by the Dade Temple, and if he also lost, the Gate of the Seven Stars would be completely defenseless, and the cards of the Three Illusions would also awaken from the seal, but this sentence?
"If you fail, of course I will take it away, because that means that your cultivation is not yet at home, and you are not qualified enough to block in front of that person." As the eyes that had been sharp during the duel returned to a half-squinted appearance, the familiar dean of the Red Academy returned, but no one noticed that his skin was constantly cracking due to the movement.
"The Seven Star Key, it was a trap from the beginning, it was in that person's hands, we will get it, but because he needs the key to absorb the power generated by the collision between the souls of the duelists." He smiled and shook his head, reaching out to stop Sho Maruto and Hayato from trying to get close to him.
"My ...... There isn't much time left for this body. Datokuji's gaze turned to a dried corpse in a coffin by the wall, it was wearing the white shirt and dark gray trousers that the "teacher Daitokuji" often wore, which was the body he had used before.
A body made entirely of alchemy.
It's the same body he's using right now.
"Teacher?" Juyo hadn't fully figured out what he was talking about, but he instinctively had a sense of foreboding, and he reached out to this man who could be called the enlightener of his life, wanting to help him, but was shunned.
"Don't try to touch me, that will drastically shorten the time I have left......" The dodge was relatively large, and Daitokuji's shoulders and left ribs let out a crisp cracking sound that made a tooth ache, and at the same time, the crack in his lower cheek became larger, and began to drop dry powder of skin and flesh like a wall of decay that had been decaying for years.
"This is my retribution...... The price of my fall. He was still speaking, with a sense of relief in his words: "Alchemy...... The real meaning is to transform the human heart into something purer and nobler, and that light is better than a qiē gem, but by the time I really understood it, it was too late, I was tied to that man's fate, and the only way to get rid of it was death......"
"Daitokuji sensei!" Juyo reached out to touch him, but when he saw the obvious crack on his face, he clenched that hand into a fist and froze in the air.
"Your tribulation is not only him, but there are also stronger and more terrible forces on this island and in this world...... Even if she started to prepare, I, as a teacher, of course, had to be more responsible. The man, who was still smiling, took out a purple-black thick leather book from his bosom and handed it over with the last bit of strength in his body.
"Take the card from the jade record...... Then give it to the light. ”
Juyo took the book with both hands, only to find the next moment that the hand attached to the other end of it was turning into a dry, yellowish stone.
He tried to grab it, but he could only watch as he cracked and turned into fine dust.
"Forever...... Don't forget your most important ......"
This is the last lesson that Yujo Shidai received from Daitokuji Temple.
On this seemingly peaceful night, he lost his life mentor forever.
"He poured his soul into the book." The Lion Wizard floated in front of the brown-haired boy, no expression visible on his flat face, "He's really dead." ”
"Hmm." Ten generations replied emptyly, "But he's still our teacher." ”
He opened the thick leather bookboard in his hand and glanced at a line of text on the page:
TheFatherOfAllPerfectionInYeWholeWorldIsHere.
ItsForceOrPowerIsEntireIfItBeConvertedIntoEarth.
"Meow~~~" The pharaoh, who was lying at his feet, yawned heavily, looking carefree.
……
"What the hell are they talking about, why doesn't that white-haired woman attack yet?" Asuka hiding in the shadows felt that she couldn't stand the cold, the fabric of the third-grade girls' uniforms in the Blue Academy was too little, the top was sleeveless, the bottom was a short skirt, no matter how tense her muscles were, she couldn't stop the cold wind from penetrating all the time, and she felt that her hands and feet were slowly losing consciousness.
From the perspective of eavesdropping, this is still a bit far, and the sound was blown away by the wind before it could be transmitted, and in the darkness, she could only vaguely see the mouths of the two of them moving.
“…… You think I've changed so much compared to what I used to be, but how do you know that's not what I am? Angela sneered, "It feels so good to open your mind and accept it, I can't resist this, and I'll never regret it." ”
"Yes, it's your choice." Li Bai looked at her with a very sad look, but the black qi between his eyebrows completely dissipated unconsciously.
Although the initial relationship was not good enough to be friends, they did not become mortal enemies, and she did not know what kind of past Angela had, because everyone had their own story, and she finally deeply understood the unspeakable powerlessness that she did not think she knew...... She was sad and sad about it, but that's about it.
(I still have ...... What I have to do, and what I have to do, and what I have to do, and ...... I don't even know what the great mission is, and I can't be shaken by you. )
This is the conclusion she came to after a momentary burst of thought, at that moment there are hundreds of millions of pieces of information being thought at the same time, affirmed or denied, all of them are done subconsciously, she will not deliberately understand what she is thinking at this moment, that inexplicable "mission" she doesn't know what it is, but she just thinks about it suddenly, even if it is only in this ten-thousandth of a second - after that she may completely forget this thought, even if there is a vague impression, she will no longer be able to remember, and cannot be explained by any known scientific knowledge, may not be aware of herself, her personal, heart, soul three universe inner ring is in the process of continuous improvement of self-cognition is fused, this is the Dade Temple handed over to the tenth generation of the small universe alchemy system recorded in the Cui quotations, it may be like the legend of the three illusion gods originated in ancient Egypt.
The most valuable concept of Jade Record is undoubtedly the core of the alchemical cosmology, that is, the echoing relationship between the inner and outer rings, the large universe and the small universe, and everyone's interpretation of it is different, it can be the enlightenment map of alchemy, or it can be the proverb of human wisdom enlightenment and broadening the spiritual realm, and it is rumored that the knowledge recorded in its pages can make people spiritual eternal and transcend the imprisonment of the world - this is full of controversy, but at this moment, it seems that someone has touched the doorknob of "reality".
Even now, when she almost lost, Angela still doesn't plan to change her words, she obviously knows what will happen to her failure, but she still insists, the darkness has planted the seeds of rebellion in her heart, but to grow into a towering tree, it is impossible without the permission of independent consciousness...... Drawing the last card of his life, the Black Samurai smiled and closed his eyes.
"I don't have too many regrets about getting this far in a duel, and I hope you can have such a moment too." After a pause, she added, "...... It's not a curse. ”
“Turn-End。”
"Oh...... Are they finally going to end it? Asuka breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Bai raise her right arm, witnessing the attacks of several emperors smashing into another person, she knew that it would not be long before she could return to the dormitory safely.
I've got to take a nice hot shower......
"Huh?" Suddenly she heard the birdsong that had drawn her there at the beginning, and she couldn't help but look up at the clearing again, and then she couldn't take her eyes off it.
The hand that had been placed on the side of her mouth and nose before had helped her a lot, otherwise she would have been sure that she would have screamed.
The blonde girl in black leather armor in the clearing was undergoing a change that she could not understand: her body seemed to have branched out into another weight, overlapping with the original body, and the newly separated body was like a wave of water, and at this moment it seemed to be under an invisible attack, up and down, left and right, almost everywhere was torn by claws and fangs, and the part that was torn apart from the mother's body quickly disappeared into the air, but after more than ten seconds, the heavy body disappeared completely, as if it was eaten by the air.
No...... That's definitely not air! It was something, something she couldn't see!
The extreme fear made Asuka almost faint, the stiffness of her body could not stop her thinking, she began to wonder if there was something similar around her, and the chirps that penetrated her soul were one after another, mixed into a life-threatening symphony in her mind, fear was like a maggot on the tarsal bones, it seemed to be far away from her, and it seemed to be everywhere.
"Did you pass out?" Li Bai tilted his head slightly and aimed at the high ground behind his left.
A crow landed on her shoulder and looked at her curiously, Li Bai ignored it, but took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Ryo Maruto, asking him to find Blowing Snow, and she herself picked up Angela's body after doing this qiē and walked towards the auditorium of the academy.
The auditorium was set up a little higher between the Twin Towers and the main school building, where she met some acquaintances and some fresh faces.
"Who's that white-haired woman?" Before Li Bai pushed the door in, Wan Zhangmu was arguing fiercely with Maruto Sho, he really couldn't believe what he heard, Li Bai's intrusion happened to become a buffer, he pointed at her and asked his own questions, but the others shook their heads and said they didn't know, only Yucheng Shidai's eyes widened in disbelief, and his eyes were angry for the first time after the blow.
"You ......" He held a large book with a thick purple and black cover in his hand, and took two steps forward in astonishment, "...... you?" ”
The image of the person who came had changed a lot from what he had seen on the screen years ago, but he still recognized her identity at first sight.
There is no reason, as if it were instinct.
Li Bai's gaze first rested on his face, and then he looked down and saw the thick leather book.
The hand holding the corpse in his arms couldn't help but tighten.
The man who smiled as warm as a spring breeze was also gone.
"That's what you warned me? Warn me it's a war? She turned her head abruptly and said something to the raven perched on her left shoulder, which puzzled everyone.
In the eyes of Wan Zhangmu, there was nothing in the direction she was facing except tables and chairs, but Li Bai saw her face from the pupils of the birds.
"Of course, dear." She smiled at her.
"This is just the beginning."
