Chapter 15: Shadows

"Uh-huh!" The juice in Juyo's mouth almost squirted in the face of the lion wizard.

"Ahem, ahem, wait...... Wait a minute! What does this mean? He was simply a little shocked, the lion wizard's statement was so terrifying that one couldn't help but combine the supernatural stories he had seen with them.

Won't it ...... I guess it's really the possibility I thought.

"Sounds a lot like a paranormal story." The lion wizard tilted his head, and his gaze at the boy became meaningful, "But in many cases, the reality is more magical than the story. ”

"What does it sound like?" Juyo suddenly came to his senses, and he leaned his hands behind his head on the cushion, regaining his usual relaxed appearance, "...... This is a supernatural story. ”

"It's all to blame for the fact that the level of the story is too high, and I actually think those plots are actually happening...... But for those who want to hear a story, this is really the most desirable situation, and it's very exciting. ”

"Ten generations—" A vague call came from downstairs.

"Oh! I'll be right away! Ten generations responded, and immediately turned over and put a few cushions back in their original positions, "...... I guess my mother is calling me to eat, and we'll continue to play when we get back. ”

"Bye-bye, lion...... Thank you for the wonderful story~"

"......" listened to the sound of the boy's footsteps plopping down the stairs, and the lion wizard said nothing.

Some unknown force lifted its body, drove it to the wide windowsill, and then remained motionless, just quietly watching the scenery outside the window.

"The seeds have been planted."

I could feel the eyes in the darkness once again fixed on her...... I don't think there's much time left. ”

Which fork in the road the ending of this reincarnation will lead to is all maintained in her thoughts.

Is it a direct destruction of miè?

Or is it the same as the last time, a continuation of the pain......

……

In the dark space, Li Bai stared at the table in the light with a blank expression, her brain was blank, her lips squirmed twice, but she couldn't hold back any sound.

(That black flame just now, is...... Zorke? )

(It's not dead!?) )

The Pharaoh in the video is no longer completely controlled by the game's mind in the final battle, not so much that he found the name of the king and fused the power of the three phantom gods to win, but that he actually remembered the enemy he defeated in this way for 3,000 years - and then did it again in exactly the same way, his real enemy was not the "King of Thieves and the Great Dark God who had been lost in time" in his opinion, but the white-haired man sitting opposite him; If it weren't for him, although the journey to gain memories would have added many variables due to the addition of Apricot and others, at least the safety of a few people in reality would not be affected. This battle, if it weren't for him finally recalling all his memories, he and his companions' bodies would inevitably be destroyed by Tapir, and that would really be the end...... There is a high probability that Malik and the others, who have been kept in the dark, will not be able to deal with this cunning fellow, and his ambition, which was thwarted 3,000 years ago, may have a chance to be realized.

"It's over......" The game let out a deep sigh as he looked at the corpse lying across the table.

"From now on, Tapir will no longer need to worry about his evil personality."

This RPG set in time holds a lot of things, but that doesn't change the nature of its dark game, where the loser dies and there is no room for bargaining.

"That...... It should be a dark game. The girl also saw the whole process of the death of "another tapir", but the man standing in front of her did not look injured in any way, except for the arm that had been lost since he appeared, his spirit was not weakened at all.

“…… Why would you have nothing at all. ”

"Darkness is omnipotent." The one-armed tapir laughed and slowly spread his left hand at her, "You should be familiar with this move?" The last time we had a direct conversation, I was scared of you......"

"Remember, that kawaii clay doll."

"You mean Split Soul?" Li Bai remembered the battle on the monster world chessboard, "...... But the limit of the split soul is very large, and the dead guy is a part of your soul, and you ...... How could you not be affected at all......"

Even if the Wheel of Wisdom has absolute power at the soul level, it is impossible to completely disconnect two souls of the same origin - if it can, then its power can already surpass the sum of all the artifacts, and the tapir who holds it does not need to cower and lay out in the shadows step by step, he can rely on this artifact to crush them all.

"It's simple." A cold voice suddenly sounded from beside her.

"I'm here to help."

Turning her head to look, these words actually came from the mouth of Tianguang Flame, who had been semi-unconscious, she no longer looked weak at the moment, and the mysterious mist before was rapidly absorbed into her body, including the chains that bound her, and even the stone chair under her seat...... Qiē by qiē is becoming blurred, and this change sets off her very real, whether it is the increasingly cold temperament, or the pair of scarlet eyes that are a little terrible in the dark.

"Are you finally fully awake?" Tapir Liang seemed to have been prepared for this to happen, and he bent down deeply at the white-haired girl on the left, not at all like the crazy thief king in Li Bai's impression.

Tianguangyan ignored him, and in a moment's effort, all the things that bound her were gone, and they all turned into the most primitive darkness, and she also regained her freedom, and stepped on the ground in a standing position again.

"Wait...... Wait a minute, what the hell is this ......" Li Bai's voice finally began to tremble, it was a fear that surpassed any unknown, she had never been so scared since she came into this world.

She's not stupid at all, on the contrary, she's not ordinarily smart enough to be able to suppress an entire era in card duels, and combined with what Tapir Liang said before, and the variables he specifically asked her to see, the girl may have deduced the most likely answer in her own mind.

It's just that she doesn't want to believe it.

"What do you mean......"

"What the hell is wrong with you! Flame!!! ”

"It's no longer correct to call her by that scale?" Tapir gloated a little, and he was satisfied that things were going the way he controlled them with almost no problems, not to mention the girl's current state...... For him with a dark psychology, he is definitely happy to see, and that kind of fear and sadness is simply the perfect fodder for darkness to breed.

"You should call her...... Nellofa Xià. ”

Before the words fell, a deep sword qi as deep as ink flashed in the void, and with Tapir Liang's muffled snort, his only remaining left arm fell to the ground with a "snap".

"There's no place for you to talk here." Tianguangyan put away the dusk in his hand and stared indifferently at the white-haired man who was half-kneeling on the ground gasping for breath, "Next time, I'll kill you." ”

"Flame ...... You-"

"Don't be busy, Shiro." She turned, a slight stiff smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, if that could count as a smile.

No one could take her expression as a smile, and her delicate skin was like a zombie's crust under her control, and she seemed to have not laughed in a long, long time.

"Although it was abrupt, he was not wrong, I am indeed not the same person as before."

"Now I should be the black flame of light you saw before, that is, the continuation of the Great Dark Evil God, and the memory of this divine soul still retains the burning sensation of being detonated by Halakti...... It was a terrible power, and if I had to do it again, I wouldn't have any certainty that I would be able to defeat her, or to put it simply, that I would be close to death again. ”

"But fortunately, she can't be seen again."

"And I, I'm still alive."

"......" Li Bai didn't say a word, and after getting the words she least wanted to hear from the other party, she completely lost all her strength.

Now, she was just a 17-year-old girl without any strength, like an ordinary girl who was afraid of thunder, huddled in a chair and shivering--the bandages that bound her step by step in the face of the figure that were walking towards her step by step brought her a special sense of security at this moment. How she wished it was all a nightmare.

"It's reality, white; It's not a fantasy, it's not a dream. Approaching the girl, Skylight Flame reached out and cupped her pale cheeks, forcing her to look at herself, "The previous me was just a false memory, the memory of a girl named Skyline Phil...... 3,000 years ago, in Mithra, I devoured the memories I received when she devoured her consciousness. ”

"The real me, who has always been sleeping in the deepest part of her consciousness, is too repulsive to me by this body...... It couldn't be helped, because the others couldn't bear my darkness at all, and this rejection still dealt a second blow to the weakened me at that time, and I had to fall into a long period of self-isolation so that my soul could be completely united with this body. And then what happened next...... You should have learned from various sources intermittently - Bao escaped from the dead city with me in a coma, crossed the dimensional barrier to the present world and came to the present world, because the formation was destroyed, and the time between the two sides was once again hugely unequal, and it turned out to be 3,000 years later......"

"It's really new to be human...... This body is extremely rich in emotions, and its joys, sorrows, and sorrows are much more magnified than before, which was unimaginable to me before. ”

"Since the awakening of consciousness that belongs entirely to me, Bai ...... You came into my sight, and I was amazed - because I didn't have any rejection of your existence after fusing a previous memory, but I didn't even understand how you came into this world. Not to mention that you actually have the same excellent affinity for light as the long-dead Skyline Phil, as the embodiment of the concept of darkness, I should have wanted to kill you in the first place, but the reality is completely ...... I can't even think of any thoughts that want to hurt you...... I don't know if it's a good or bad feeling, but I do, at least I don't hate you. ”

"So it's clear." After stating his bizarre feelings, "Tianguang Yan" leaned next to Li Bai's pretty face, squinted his eyes and rubbed on it.

"Join me."

"Then, together, we're going to turn the world upside down."

"Tianguang Flame" stared at the girl below her quietly, her eyes reflected the same face as herself, but ...... Even if they were looking at each other, the other party's eyes still lacked the necessary vitality, as if what she had just said was in vain, and Li Bai didn't listen to it at all.

She seems to have stopped caring about anything.

For this situation, "Tianguang Yan" had already prepared, she smiled slightly, stabilized Li Bai's delicate chin with her right hand, leaned down and kissed it, almost without any hindrance, she pried open the girl's teeth, and began to play with her tongue to her heart's content, at the same time, her free left hand was not idle, it found a gap in the girl's tight body bound by bandages, and stubbornly drilled into it.

This kind of "attack" that exceeded the specifications finally made Li Bai, who was overwhelmed, recover a little, and she began to struggle instinctively...... But with little effect, her limbs were tied, and she was almost motionless in the face of one-sided aggression.

And...... To her surprise, she gradually didn't even want to continue this last resistance.

It seems that it is also a good choice to sink down like this.

"How's that...... Call...... How does it feel? Isn't it as sweet as that night? Taking advantage of the leisure time of breathing, "Tianguang Flame" did not forget to use words to evoke her memory, "Hmm...... Very good, don't resist...... Call...... Just let me ...... you completely."

"Huh!?" She suddenly covered her mouth and took a big step back, "You...... You actually bite me? ”

"Whew...... Call...... ...... "Li Bai leaned on the stone chair with a flushed face, and for that bite, she almost exhausted all the strength in her body.

“…… Why don't you just accept me? Nourished by the darkness, the scars on his tongue healed in an instant, but Skylight Flame was still extremely disappointed that he had been rejected at the last minute.

I even said, a little annoyed.

"Obviously, I can't raise any desire to fight, and I can't even break free from this kind of bondage...... Why has your soul scale only been capped at 50 since I appeared? You still can't figure it out? ”

"An hourglass with 10,000 grains of sand...... Lay it flat and the left part has 9,000 grains of sand, and the right one will only have 1,000 ...... left In the same way, if my current soul scale is 90 points, then your soul scale can only be left with 10 points? ”

"Our current soul is still not separated at the root, and my strength will inevitably cause you to weaken, so it is impossible for you to resist me, my dear white ...... Never. ”

"Your end is doomed from the moment I wake up, there is only one, and that is to obediently become my most precious treasure, my loveliest collection."

"No matter what...... Would you like it or not. ”

"Dreaming......" Li Bai closed her eyes, she gradually eased from the previous confusion, and regained her consciousness.

Incomparably sober.

The scenes I just recalled seem so ironic now. Ironically, she was angry about it.

What the lion wizard once reminded meant, she finally understood completely, thoroughly.

It must have known for a long time, knowing who Flame was, knowing that she would wake up eventually.

But it never said it.

The corners of Tianguangyan's eyes jumped slightly, and she didn't know why, she felt a terrifying momentum brewing on the girl's body.

(Delusion...... At 10 o'clock soul scale, she shouldn't even be able to maintain her five senses normally. )

"You've been deceived again...... Again! As the desperate prayer burst out of anger blurted out, the girl opened her blood-red eyes, and a slowly swirling transparent crown appeared above her head.

On top of that, a model of the second gem is being constructed.
