The girl's feeling at this moment was very unique, she felt that the blood in her whole body was constantly emitting heat as if it was boiling, and this heat pushed her soul and five senses, allowing her to break free from the suppression of her soul and have a little room for free movement. This is very rare - Tianguangyan's previous statement is not to lie to her, their souls are indeed still entangled at the root, that is, if you ignore the true identity of the other party's ghost beast, they are still essentially the same person, and the strength of one will inevitably lead to the weakness of the other...... To be able to break free under such circumstances, even just a little, is a rare and rare thing.

At least Tianguangyan (let's call her by this name) didn't expect that Li Bai would actually have the strength to resist.

"How could it be...... This power is ......" This is the first time that Tianguangyan has stood on the opposite side of Li Bai, and it is also the first time to observe her from a relative angle, so she can see some things that she can't usually see, including a further understanding of the girl's heart, and the strange crown floating above her head. Because she used to only observe the outside in the girl's inner world, her perspective is actually not much different from that of the girl, and she has no impression of the crown that has appeared...... After helping Li Bai break through the confinement of the soul level, the momentum it emitted was almost nothing, far inferior to the dark energy surrounding Tianguang Yan, but I don't know why, she was able to feel a great threat from this crown, and that kind of innate sense of suppression was seeping into her senses from all directions, if it wasn't for her desperate control, this body might even retreat a few steps away.

Even Halakti didn't give me this sense of threat, how could this thing ......?

After perceiving this, the surprise in Tianguangyan's heart was even greater, her identity at the moment was not just as simple as splitting her soul, waking up from a long slumber, she not only inherited the memory of the original Lord of Light, but also merged with her previous legacy...... At this moment, she is still the source of darkness in the world, the embodiment of the concept of "darkness", but ...... Is this how she can actually feel the innate oppression from this crown? Doesn't that indirectly show that it represents a higher power than "darkness"?

…… What the hell is this?

Li Bai didn't think about it so much, her heart was filled with angry flames, and under the fiery burning in her body, the bandages and chains that bound her seemed to be no longer strong, and they were torn apart by the strength of the qi rising from outside her body...... Raising her head to look at the face that was exactly the same as herself, the reason in the girl's heart was like a broken string, and without waiting for any mental instructions, her body made direct movements.

"Bang!"

“！” Raising her hand to block the opponent's side kick, Tianguangyan finally recovered from her previous distraction, feeling the force on her wrist just now, she frowned slightly.

The force was wrong, it was too heavy, and it didn't look like a girl so weak could kick it out.

She couldn't help but look at the almost transparent crown again.

"Drink!!" Li Bai didn't give her a chance to continue thinking about it, with a clench of both hands, two arc short swords that flashed with cold light were summoned by her, and then followed the momentum of the kick just now, and slashed away with a crazy sky-rushing light flame.

"Is it so difficult for you to accept my invitation?" In the face of the ferocious attack, the Tianguang Flame, who had slightly begun to take seriously, was able to deal with it with ease, she didn't even call out the dusk, she avoided all the attacks with her sensitive dodge alone, and even had the energy to speak in this gap, it can be seen that she did benefit a lot from this "sacrifice", the swordsmanship experience that originally belonged to Skyline Phil was completely turned into her thing, Li Bai's movements were full of flaws in her eyes, if she wanted to, she could even grab a gap casually and trip the girl to the ground.

Li Bai pursed his lips tightly, as if he hadn't heard her words...... No, maybe she just didn't hear it, judging from the increasingly intense movements, this sentence had the exact opposite effect of what Skylight Flame expected.

"There's still a little bit of stagnation in your movements at the last minute." Through the gap where an arc short sword smashed down on her side, Tianguang Flame stretched out his hand like lightning, grabbed Li Bai's two wrists, and at the same time stretched his body forward, instantly approaching each other, and the two girls with bright red eyes were face to face again, and they could smell each other's unique breath.

"Can I take that as ...... Are you still hesitant to hurt me? Tianguangyan curled the corners of her lips and looked at the girl who was glaring at her across without blinking...... Now she is too strong, so strong that even she can't imagine Cheng Dù, inheriting many characteristics of this body, she is no longer afraid of the power of light as before, Li Bai's struggle is too weak in her opinion, so she did not use the most direct method to achieve her goal - since she has hung up the identity of a human being, then naturally she also has to learn to learn the taste of human beings, and before enjoying her spoils, she doesn't mind playing with the other party.

“…… Let me go! ”

Li Bai gritted his teeth and tugged at his arm, but found that he didn't move at all, Tianguangyan's pair of slender and delicate palms like her didn't know how much strength was hidden, and her struggle didn't even let the other party let go of even a finger.

"I'll let you ...... Let go! Let go!! ”

Skylight's teasing made her anger even stronger, which may have something to do with the fact that she really thought so...... In the face of her former friend, who can even be said to be the object of her admiration, how can she devote herself to the sword of that mirror-like figure? In fact, even she didn't notice how much fear she was deep down, and if it weren't for the anger that gave her courage, she might not even have the strength to hold a sword.

At this moment, this domineering appearance is probably just the last protective film before falling into the darkness......

Skylight Flame thought so.

…… It's so cute.

Perhaps, it's time for me to speed things up a bit.

"It's cruel to say that, but ...... White, dreams are going to wake up sooner or later. The frivolity and playfulness in her voice began to fade, revealing a steely firmness, "For this moment, I have been preparing for it since 3,000 years ago!" You don't understand how scared I was when I gave up my body...... With that weak me, I can't even resist the slightest...... It's not impossible to even be swallowed up by Skelin Phil. ”

"But I succeeded, a big gamble...... Fooled everyone......"

The corners of Li Bai's eyes jumped, she felt that the other party's iron pincer-like palm began to exert force, Tong Guò relived that memory, the woman in front of her who occupied the name of Tianguang Yan was already a little hysterical, she didn't plan to play anymore, and the hands holding the girl's wrists twisted slightly.

"Woo......" Li Bai couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, the two arc short swords fell to the ground uncontrollably, his hands were pressed to the level of his shoulders, and his whole body involuntarily retreated...... A few steps away, her calf below the knee touched a hard object, and then she lost her center of gravity and was pressed back into the stone chair where she had been imprisoned.

"Am I not worthy of the present victory—am I not worthy of the glorious you!?"

A vast, seemingly endless darkness surged around her as she questioned, squeezing the air and making a continuous explosion sound.

Perhaps, when Tianguang Flame made up her mind to sacrifice that girl 3,000 years ago, she never expected that there would be a fateful meeting between the two, but at least at this moment, she could say with certainty that this qiē deployment was for the girl in front of her. The memory of when she just woke up had a big effect on her; The way you are naughty when you joke with yourself, and the way you get angry when you are messing around...... And in her most desperate period, the gentle appearance of the girl who supported her and comforted her was firmly imprinted in her mind, and she will never forget it.

In fact, she had already made her mind clear, and the purpose of those words was not to remind Li Bai that she had no ability to resist, but to emphasize...... They are still one, and they can still work together for each other's dreams as before, without any barriers.

"You're still ...... Don't understand. Once again confined back to the stone chair, Li Bai didn't struggle anymore, and after hearing Tianguangyan's excited words, her anger gradually subsided.

"You don't understand, Flame...... You don't understand what it means that you choose to appear to me as the embodiment of darkness. ”

She really didn't think that the people she was vaguely concerned about actually had similar thoughts about her, which might be related to her inferiority complex because of her former identity, she didn't dare to think so...... Never dare.

The identities of the two sides seem to have a great deviation from the beginning, one is the down-and-out princess (at the time), and the other is an outsider who occupies the magpie's nest, although the person who dominates this body has always been Li Bai, but ...... She always had a panic hanging in the air. She was always scared...... Afraid that the body that originally belonged to "Flame" would be hurt because of herself, she has always lived with the share of two people.

If the identity of the other party has not changed, will she feel very happy now?

If......

"You still don't know the reality of this world - although I am too, but at least I can see what the leitmotif is......"

Two lines of tears slipped from Li Bai's eyes, she didn't know what her mood was now, and her anger had disappeared with the other party's heartfelt words...... All that's left is coldness that penetrates the bone marrow, and numbness.

“…… Why bother with that meaningless theme? Because Li Bai lowered her head at that moment, Tianguangyan didn't see her tears, but she could still detect from the girl's tone that she was far different from usual, it was a feeling that mixed several negative emotions, which she was especially aware of as a source of darkness, "I know a part of your origin...... You don't need to abide by anything here, do you? ”

"Why not give it a try...... Give it a try......"

"That's enough." Li Bai cut off her words and stopped her from continuing, "I understand what you said. ”

"But no."

"For ......" Tianguangyan wanted to question something, but then she saw the girl's raised face, and saw the two obvious tear stains on it, like two thorns, and forcibly stuck all her words in her throat.

"Goodbye, Flame." The girl looked directly at the person pressing on her, her eyes no longer undulating, and the crown above her head became brighter and brighter.

“…… This is the last time I'll call you by that name. ”

"Wait!" Something bad flashed in her heart, and the white-haired girl who had always been in a strong position clenched her hands tighter and tighter, and she didn't even care if this kind of force would hurt the other party...... However, the illusory texture in the palm of her hand conveyed the most unfavorable information to her, Li Bai's whole body was glowing, this change seemed to be not only visual, but also tactile, she became illusory, under the stunned gaze of Tianguangyan, a black hole appeared in the girl's chest, and then all her qiē was swept into the hole and disappeared.

"How...... Maybe ......" Tianguang Yan was half-bent over, still maintaining her movements, looking stunned by this strange phenomenon, she withdrew her palm in a bit of despair, staring at it with an incredulous gaze.

"The connection at the root...... Cut off? ”

……

Seahorse Mansion.

On the third floor of the eastern part of Li Bai's activity area, in a luxurious reception hall, a black-haired girl was walking in the room a little restlessly.

"You look bad, Browse." On the spacious sofa sat a man of some age, and if Li Bai stood here, she would surely recognize who this guy was—the liar Sir Sir who had cheated her in London, Ciro.

"There's heating in the room, isn't it too hot for you to exercise your body like this?" Ciro turned his gaze to the low table beside him, and looked at the bottle of red wine on it, which at first glance was not ordinary.

"Mind your own business! Ciro! Nate paused and replied in a somewhat sharp tone to shut him up, "And ...... You'd better not touch that bottle. ”

"Why?" Ciro raised an eyebrow, he picked up the bottle, a little unsure to see if the bottle was really that expensive, "Hey...... What if it's already open? ”

“…… There's grape juice in there. ”

“…… What the? ”

"And I drank it."

Curling the corners of her mouth into a narrow smile, Nate finally felt a little lighter, she loosened her neckline and took a deep breath.

"Please forgive me for my previous attitude towards you, Ciro." "After all," she said, "...... That's what I've been looking at for a long time, and I don't want the other to be hurt by whichever personality wins. ”

"Whatever? I think you're just worried about that big breast. After uncorking and sniffing the bottle, and confirming that it was indeed grape juice, Ciro put it back with great interest, "Don't be in a hurry...... I'm just telling you the truth, you've spent the most time together, and it's normal for you to worry about her, and I don't mean to blame you. ”

"But I hope that if it is really the second outcome, you can readjust your mentality and bring her back to the royal capital as much as possible - that is your task in the first place, if it weren't for the fact that too long has passed, and the higher authorities would not have ordered me to assist you, the dimensional wall will soon enter the period of rebellion that Lord Red speculated, and we must hurry up and take her back."

"And...... The Japanese food is pretty good, but I'd rather go back to London and eat my potatoes, chips, and fish. ”

"Hmph......" Hearing Ciro's reminder, Nate was unhappy but had nothing to refute, as the other party said, it was her accusation, and it was one of the meanings of her existence.

But...... She was really worried about Li Bai. Since Ciro proved to her the identity of the same envoy, and he pointed out that Li Bai has another soul that leans towards darkness, she has not slept ** peacefully, if it weren't for Ciro to stop her, she would never have let the girl go out alone this time, although she could see that Li Bai had something very important to do this time, but-

"Huh?" Ciro suddenly turned his head to look at the window.

"I think you're going to be sad this time, Blaus." The old gentleman smacked his lips dryly, and his tone was sluggish...... Each word is like a hammer, nailing Nit's hopes into the bottomless abyss.

"The second type."

……

The sky was drizzling, and the air was soon filled with a misty smell of water, and the smell of grass and earth mixed in with it, and anyone who smelled it would be somewhat tired.

"Boss, can you give me a 5% discount on these five ice bracelets together?"

“J…… Are you kidding, 5% off? Why don't you grab it!? ”

The above conversation took place at a jewelry store in Dongcheng District, Tong Shino City...... The main character is a young girl with gray-white curly hair, dressed in a dress that is not too special compared to her peers, with a gray thread shirt, brown leather gloves, black trousers and a black coat...... Well, she's a little more mature, but her face can't be commented on like that - she wears a silver mask there, not a half-face that can highlight beauty and sexiness, almost all parts of her face are blocked by this mask, and with the gray weather outside, it really feels a little eerie.

I don't know if she will cause passers-by to scream when she walks out rashly.

"I'm kidding...... How about 6% off? Seeing that the boss had a tendency to blow up, the girl hurriedly snorted, and at the same time cursed the other party fiercely in her heart.

Your brother-in-law...... I've bought enough stuff from you to support you for more than 20 years, and I haven't even been given a single discount! The word iron rooster was born specifically for you!

"Don't tease me anymore...... J, you know my habit - never discounting. "That chubby-looking boss isn't afraid of girly outfits at all, huh...... He was indeed taken aback when he saw this person for the first time, but after all, no one would have trouble with money, and every time this strange girl came, he could bring him a turnover that could only be compared to the sum of several months, and he even began to look forward to whether the other party could come more often.

"Okay...... It seems that I have to go to the new store in Xicheng District, and I heard that they are on sale because they have just opened. The mask obscures the girl's face, which makes it impossible to judge her true thoughts by observing her expressions, and it may be because of this that the emotions in her voice are unusually rich, so that people can imagine her expression at the moment just by hearing it.

“J。” The fat boss looked at her sternly, "I want to think about it...... We are old customers, old customers deserve to get some due benefits, Xicheng District is too far away, even if you take the subway from here to 50 minutes, a trip back and forth takes a lot of time, I remember you once mentioned that you are not living in Tong Shiye City? ”

With the exit of his last question, the atmosphere between the two suddenly cooled, and the girl stood there without saying a word, even if she didn't look at her expression, she could feel the chill escaping from her. The fat boss complained bitterly, he knew that he had said the wrong thing because he was anxious.

I hope that this little god of wealth will not leave because of this anger and never come again......

"If you still want us to continue working together, don't have any curiosity about where I come from." It took about a minute before the girl's voice came out from behind the mask again, and she stared at the fat boss who had just counted seconds like a year and was now relieved through the two thin slits on the mask, and slowly spit out two words in her mouth.

"7% off."

……

"It's exhausting to talk to that stupid pig." Carrying a cloth handbag, the gray-haired girl finally walked out of the store, and the first thing she did when she came out was to take a deep breath of fresh air - the jewelry store was lit with an unknown incense all year round, and she hated the smell of it, so every time she came she didn't bother to spend too long haggling, just to get rid of the torment earlier; If it weren't for her teacher's plan to move this time, it would have been the last time she came to this store, and she wouldn't have bothered to entangle with that disgusting iron for so long.

"Ah......" The girl opened her arms at the rain curtain and closed her eyes comfortably, "It's still the best smell of air on a rainy day......

Wait a minute.

She dropped her arms abruptly and looked around with some wariness.

(There is a smell of blood in the air.) ）

The smell is not strong, it shouldn't be to trouble her, but some things will not be relieved until you confirm them yourself.

Following the sniffing message, J came to a park half a block away.

After pushing aside a bush that blocked her view, the bag in her hand fell directly to the ground.

"You...... You ......"

There was a girl with long snow-white hair curled up in the grass, her dress was torn in many places, and there were several signs of wear and tear on her arms, which seemed to be caused by being bound by ropes, and the bloody bit that J noticed should have come from here.

If that was all there was, J might not have been surprised to be like this, her body trembling slightly, obviously in fear.

The girl in the grass, she knew.

not only knew each other, but also had an "unforgettable" experience together.

“…… It's you. Li Bai gently opened his eyes and glanced at her lightly...... In the moment of staring at each other, J felt that his every qiē was completely seen through, and there was no secret to speak of, but ...... She doesn't seem surprised at all that she's still alive?

"You-" J recovered from his stupor, quickly turned his head to look, hesitated to squat, stretched out his hand, and lifted the girl up with as gentle a motion as possible.

"How did you become ...... It became like this......"

Compared to the last time she saw it on the screen, the other wolf bèi was too much, and she couldn't imagine what kind of blow it would take to make these eyes, which had been full of courage and confidence, so dark. That's ...... But she's always been the target of the store.

"Is there any gum?" The girl spoke again.

"Huh?"

Suddenly encountered such a strange request, J seemed a little overwhelmed, she touched around herself, and finally found a piece from the wallet, peeled off the wrapping paper before reacting, and asked Li Bai with some hesitation:

"You...... Are you going to eat it? ”

The girl sank her jaw, opened her mouth, and let J put the candy in.

"May I ask what's going on......" Looking at her stiff grinding chin, J felt 120,000 helpless, the other party had opened his mouth twice since he was discovered, and he didn't mean to continue to speak, if it wasn't for the fact that the other party's dress was still complete, she couldn't help but doubt in the most terrible direction.

(Eh......? ）

Just as she was about to say something, J felt her hand on the girl's shoulder be driven and began to tremble, she was stunned for a moment, and then mechanically, little by little, lowered her head, her eyes widening wider and wider.

The peculiar trembling rhythm, and the whimpering sound in her ears, all told her a fact that she could not have predicted, even unbelievable.

Li Bai was crying.

Rolling thunder exploded in the dark clouds, drizzle swept through everything under the sweep of the wind, and the wet and cold lawn danced happily in the moisture......

…… And this qiē seems to have nothing to do with Li Bai.

She just chewed gum while leaning on J's body, pumping and pumping.

I cried very sadly.
