Upstairs in Gilda's Shield City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"No, it's ridiculous, what the hell is going on......" Medlanis sat down on the ground, his eyes blank.

Ophoros blushed, his hands pressed against the city wall, and long and narrow cracks appeared in the hard brick wall.

Lemon was so anxious that her eyes were red: "What is that candle?" ”

Shizuru held the wall with both hands and hesitated, as if he wanted to ignore Yu Aoki's order and jump off the castle tower to stop Yu Aoki.

Pascal, the old star alchemist, walked slowly, put his hand on Shizuru's shoulder, and said, "That lord is doing what he thinks is right, and he doesn't hesitate to do so, which means that the candle is such an important thing. ”

Shizuru said coldly, "I don't know what that candle means, but I don't think there's anything in this world that's more important than life. ”

"The heart is more important than life." Pascal said.

"Heart?"

"I think the heart of the supreme work must have thought that if he didn't do this, even if he survived, it would be worse than death, so he followed his heart." Pascal said.

Jingliu snorted: "I don't care what his heart is, he is my master, I won't let him die for such a stupid thing, don't stop me, I'm already angry, if you ...... Belch. ”

Shizuru was hit by Ophoros's knife in the back of the neck, and the whole person slowly fell to the ground softly, and was caught by Lemon.

Ophoros announced with a tired and blank face: "Herald...... Prepare for battle! ”

On the battlefield, the wind blew up a cloud of dust.

Yu Aoki stretched out his broken left hand and suddenly plunged it into his chest!

Even the body that could not be pierced with sharp weapons such as Flame Cry and Sinsong was pierced by Yu Aoki's own hand, and Yu Aoki pulled his hand out of his body, leaving a dark hole in his chest, but not a drop of blood flowed.

All this happened so quickly that after it happened, both the North and the South were in extreme shock, and the battlefield was extremely silent.

Yu Aoki stretched out his left hand to Shi Li, stretching his five fingers, and in his palm lay a pea-sized spar, colorful streamer, extremely beautiful.

I don't know if it's because of the suddenness of Aoki Yu's action, or because of the beauty of this spar, even Shi Li, who has always been calm, lost his mind for a moment: "This, what is this?" ”

"This ...... I guess it's my 'heart'. Yuu Aoki's delicate face had aged in a matter of seconds, and even her silky blonde hair had turned gray and gray.

"Heart?"

"Well, that's my heart......"

It turns out that Yu Aoki is not without a heart, but his heart is different from a human heart.

"This heart wanders all over my body, there is no fixed place, and as long as it is not destroyed, my body will not be destroyed." Yu Aoki said with a calm expression.

Then, Yuu Aoki's palms closed together, and when he slowly unfolded again, there was only some five-colored dust left in his hands, which drifted away in the wind.

Yu Aoki looked as if he had done a trivial thing, his face was calm, and even revealed a hint of relaxation, as if he was not crushing his own heart, but a small pebble.

Shi Li felt that his heartbeat was a little uncontrollable, and he didn't know why his mind was so chaotic.

Is it because he has completed the deal with the southern realm, and he is about to get the reincarnation secret scroll to get rid of his miserable fate? No, no, right now, he didn't even think about the matter of the reincarnation secret scroll.

Is it because he didn't expect Yu Aoki to really cut himself off so simply for a red candle? No, it's not, he knows Yu Aoki, he knows that Yu Aoki will do it in the end.

So, do you feel complacent because you forced one of the world's five uniques to death with your own hands? No...... What's more, Shi Li never feels happy about this kind of thing.

Why?

This feeling of emptiness and weakness in the heart...... Why?

Shi Li believes that the world has never shown even a trace of kindness to him, so he put a hard protective shell on himself, this hard shell resists the world's malice towards him, and he can't reveal a trace of kindness to the world.

Therefore, the only one he loves is himself.

Even though he and Yu Aoki have been together for many years and have had a lot of conversations, the hearts of the two of them have never been close, and he has never had kindness towards Yu Aoki, because he still holds a grudge against the events of the past.

Back then, he couldn't bear the mental torture and wanted to commit suicide, but Yu Aoki saved him and took him as an apprentice, which also buried his courage to commit suicide, so that he could only wander in the world in pain forever.

Shi Li really hated Yu Aoki, but when he knew that Yu Aoki couldn't forget his feelings, so his heart was filled with all kinds of strong feelings, he suddenly began to revere Yulai Aoki.

Yes, hatred and reverence can coexist, and although Shili has no kindness towards Yu Aoki, he reveres him.

At that time, Shi Li thought: It turns out that I am the same kind of person as him, my heart is drying up and cracking, and his heart is about to explode, but why is he living better than me?

So, Shi Li subconsciously began to imitate Yu Aoki, trying to get closer to Yu Aoki, he learned the tea ceremony from Yu Aoki, making tea and drinking tea leisurely every day, he felt that his broken spiritual world seemed to be healing.

Yu Aoki often asks Shi Li to do things, mostly asking him to run errands to buy maple muffins, which makes Shi Li, who has always been withdrawn, feel a little bit of being needed by other people, and sometimes, Shi Li will feel that this seems to be good.

Every time Aoki Yu comes back, he will tell Shi Li some of what he saw and heard during his trip, most of which are interesting or warm stories, Aoki Yu's expression skills are very good, and he never forgets them, and the details of the stories are vivid, even Shi Li who doesn't like to listen to stories, can occasionally listen to some.

……

He's a good teacher, and maybe I don't hate him anymore, so when he dies, I feel a little lost, Shi Li thought to himself.

Yu Aoki's body began to crumble, the skin of his whole body began to peel off slowly, and a fine dust floated on his body, and the whole person gradually disappeared, but his expression was very calm.

Yu Aoki opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to Shi Li, but in the end he couldn't say it, perhaps, he didn't know what to say.

At this time, the sudden change was unexpected.

The red candle in Shi Li's hand began to burst into flames!

The orange-yellow flame suddenly rose several meters high, burning straight into Shi Li's eyes, Shi Li reflexively leaned back, threw the red candle in his hand, and then, the red candle fell into Aoki Yu's hand.

The 10,000-year-old candle does not melt, so there are no candle tears, so it can burn for 10,000 years.

Now, a scarlet candle tear slipped from the top of the candle and dripped on Yu Aoki's hand.

Aoki looked at the red candle in his hand in a daze, and was stunned for a moment.

"Xi'er, are you crying?" Yu Aoki asked Candle very seriously.

The 10,000-year-old candle burned more violently, and the vermilion candle tears fell like raindrops, crying extremely sadly, and the candle tears "snapped" all fell on Aoki Yu's hands.

"You're crying so much...... The face is spent. Yu Aoki smiled slightly, and gently wiped a few tears from the candle with the thumb of his left hand.

Then Aoki sat down cross-legged as if no one was around, staring intently at the candle, as if he wanted to carve the shape of the candle into the depths of his soul.
