"So, if I give up even my hope, if I give up trying to make it happen, what will I have left?" She lowered her eyes, asking Xiu, and asking herself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I know it's hard to get them to accept me for who I am, I know how hard it is to reverse the prejudices that have been building up over the years, and I know that it's hard for me to get out of my loneliness...... These...... I know. She whispered with a crying voice, but her eyes were filled with water again. After all these years, in addition to her mother, there is finally a person who is willing to listen to her, is willing to talk to her, and cares about her existence. The grievances and pain that she had been suppressing in her heart had a tendency to break.

She hurriedly stood up, tilted her head, and it took a few moments to control the tears that were reaching the corners of her eyes.

The tremor in her voice slowly faded, and it took on a bit of firmness. "I know it all...... But those things are just hard...... Not entirely hopeless. She walked back to the wooden window that she had closed.

"I ...... Me...... I still believe it...... I believe that as long as I work hard, one day I can make them accept me...... One day I will be able to lift myself out of loneliness. She didn't know how far away this would be one day, but she believed in it, and she believed that this day would come. No matter how slim the hope, she firmly believed, almost stubbornly, that she could achieve it through hard work!

"I'm constantly trying, and this effort will always bring about change, and little changes add up......," she said, taking a deep breath and whispering her inner hope, "One day, everything will change." At least, now, you've shown up...... Isn't it? At this, her eyes moistened again. She hurriedly raised her arm, but she couldn't stop the tears from bursting.

She wiped the corners of her eyes, then pushed open the window that she had closed not long ago, stared at the gray night sky, where there was not half a star to be found, and sighed in a low voice, "Behold, it's going to rain." I don't know if I'm talking to myself, or if I'm telling Xiu about this change.

Xiu, who had locked himself in the depths of his eyes, heard her words and hesitated for a while before raising his eyes and looking at the gray sky with her. She poked her head out of the window and looked up at the dark night sky, smiling beautifully at the lightning that suddenly tore through the darkness.

There were still tears on her face that had not been wiped clean, but under these tears, she showed an incomparably beautiful smile. She smiled so purely, together with her almost transparent skin and the long white hair that hung behind her, she was as beautiful as a dream in the light of lightning, delicate and fragile.

He couldn't see her smile, but at the moment when the lightning shone on, an incomparably clear mirror seemed to appear in front of her, reflecting her smile vividly. Yes, every time he is newly housed in someone's body, and he sees the world through his eyes for the first time, this person's face will appear in front of him in this way!

He didn't know why this was happening, or what the city had in mind. But at least at this time, he felt that there was such a mirror...... It's just wonderful.

Her smile was so beautiful, so beautiful that it scared to touch, as if it would break her if she touched it. In the face of such purity and beauty, a strong desire to protect rose in Xiu's heart. He suddenly remembered a lot of things that he had forgotten, and many scenes that he had forgotten.

His first host, the being he regarded as his best friend, died in front of him, and when he was swallowed up by the city, he roared wildly as he floated out of his body with other forces, and stretched out his 'hand' in pain, trying to grab his hand trapped in the alleyway. But he couldn't even touch his body, and he was forced to follow the other twelve forces, drifting farther and farther away, powerless and involuntarily.

In the midst of his violent roar, the best friend, who was gradually swallowed up by the alleyway, whispered in a hoarse voice, "It's not your fault...... You don't have to blame yourself, me and you, we have been in the palm of this city, and we can't break free from its shackles. We...... ......He finally gave him a calm smile and sank into the stone alleyway. The moment he was completely immersed in it, the crack in the alleyway slowly closed, and there was no trace of what had ever appeared.

"You can't save me...... But maybe one day, you can save others. His last whisper disappeared into thin air, reaching no one else.

When his second host died in front of him, he knelt in pain in the golden light, trying to reach out and hold his body that had collapsed into a point of light, constantly being absorbed by the surrounding lanes. He stood in the misty point of light, raised his eyes to stare at him, and smiled slightly. "Original...... That's right. So that's what you've been trying to tell me, uncle......"

He hunched over and shouted at him in the distance, "This time, you failed to save me, next time, you must save the others to show me." He obviously heard his cry, he obviously gritted his teeth and wanted to fulfill this agreement, but why, but later he forgot about it?

When he boarded in, the third host of her age died in front of him, and his whole heart was torn with pain. In a trance, he seemed to see that when he went home to remove his armor a hundred years ago, the little sister who ran over and made trouble fell in front of him covered in blood. He frantically tore at the golden wall of light, trying to rush out and take her in his arms. But no matter how hard he tried, the wall of light couldn't be torn apart.

He could only tear at the wall of light in vain, watching her collapse in front of him little by little.

As if hearing his roar, covered in blood, she opened her eyes weakly as she was gradually swallowed by the stony ground beneath her feet, and tried to smile brightly at him. "Uncle...... Can I meet you...... It's just wonderful. ”

"At least, I'm not alone...... Died in obscurity...... At least, there's still Uncle you remember me......" she struggled to raise her fist at him, and said intermittently, "So...... Uncle, don't forget me. ”

Fourth Host......

Fifth Host......

……

Until the thirteenth host, his efforts to save each host were always in vain. He was finally tired and couldn't bear it anymore.

So he gave up, he locked himself off, and ignored the people who were being boarded outside. How could he be worthy of the commission they had placed before they died, and how could he be worthy of the smile they left him?

Do you still have the pride of being a generation of famous players? He whispered in his heart like this, giving himself a heavy blow to his decadent self for decades, waking himself up from his self-imposed state and recalling these memories that he had forgotten!

He thought back to the smile that was delicate and pure under the lightning, and the sparkle in his eyes softened a little. He whispered her words, "Now, she is just a child, and the setbacks and failures she suffers every day, the pain and disappointment she bears every day, are not much less than yours...... But she never gave up her efforts, she kept trying, knowing that there was little hope, she kept trying, and never gave up. ”

He questioned himself, "In front of her, you who have given up your efforts...... How can it be embarrassing? ”

He slowly stood up and whispered in his heart, "Her fate is miserable enough, but you still have to impose an even more painful fate on her...... This time, I won't be like the previous times, just ignore it. ”

"She gave me a reason, and I found a reason, so ...... This time...... "he silently declared war on the city," ...... We don't die! ”
