Since when did the night become her absolute no-go zone? Li Ai knew the answer, but he couldn't get rid of it, and he never thought of getting rid of it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info That's the price she'd pay to keep the space to her own - not to enter what they judged dangerous.

So she never thought of resisting. Because she doesn't have the strength to resist yet. If she rebelled against what they called the bottom line, what she desperately wanted to protect would fall apart in their righteous words.

Therefore, she did not have enough strength to acquiesce in the absolute forbidden area of the night. And followed this ban for almost seven years. The ornate apartment was a cage in which she voluntarily imprisoned herself. It's just because it carries too many memories of her and retains all her obsessions.

But, but...... She suddenly wanted to see what the world looked like at night. She'd seen, she'd seen through her binoculars what the city looked like at night, and she knew exactly what was hidden behind the glitz. However, if you haven't experienced it yourself, can you see it? Li Ai held the puppet of Midori Ji in her arms, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and peeked at the world outside that had clearly entered the middle of the night, but was still noisy.

"Now, Midorihime, at that time, I didn't take you to see the night scene of this world, if I take you there at this time...... Will it be late? She whispered, listening to the cold wind outside the window blowing through the glass.

……

"A little plum blossom, three points of Xiao kill; Two glasses of light wine, high spirits. Pick up the sword and mount the horse, and slaughter the enemy; What's more, the family and country change? ”

“…… Thinking of the past, swallowing mountains and rivers, prancing horses and Qinchuan! Sharpen and kill the enemy's sword, drink through the intestines and spirits, wear the remnants of a hundred battles, and defend the country! Dare to dye the blue sky with full blood; A body of pride and ambition, wanting to hold the thunder and lightning for nine days! ”

"The remnant sword dances, thousands of miles away; Raise a glass to the souls of the dead, a city beacon fire. Chain mail and sword, saddle on the horse, gallop the mountains and rivers......"

In the narrow alleys, with a majestic voice, hoarse chanting the killing psalms, waiting, waiting for the one he was waiting for...... can defeat his existence.

After a long time, the voice finally stopped chanting the psalm and sighed, "A thousand years...... It's been a thousand years...... Yaoji, you're still waiting for me at the bridge...... Waiting for me to be reincarnated with you? ”

"I want to keep my promise and reincarnate with you...... But, but, why? Why has it been thousands of years since there has been no one who can defeat me? That hoarse and gruff voice suddenly became agitated!

"I ...... I, Yaoji, if you're willing to wait......" He let out a long sigh, and after a while, a man in a thick winter coat appeared in the alley, looked around in confusion, and hurried out of the place.

"Alas~" In the deep alley, a mighty figure in armor appeared, with its back to the glitzy world at the entrance of the alley, and its eyes were focused on the spherical 'world' floating in front of it. It is a garden of bones, a place where the bones are staying. And he is the ruler there, his name - the ghost general!

"Mountains and rivers change, longitudinal Manan Mountain; Draw the sword and view, the grassland in front of the battle; The murderous aura rolls, and the wolves break off; Zhang crossbow look, step on Qinchuan! ......" The chanting, which had been stagnant for a while, sounded again. The mouth of the deep alley waited silently, waiting for the next person to enter.

“…… The dead are already dead, and since that is the case, don't come back to the world again...... Obsession...... It's better to forget. ”

“…… If a monster is a monster, why should you yearn for the filthy mortal dust...... Forget this dangerous yearning and return to your Pure Land......"

“…… I'll remember your name, so, peace of mind reincarnation ......"

Sticking the sharp blade of the Night Burning Knife in front of the subdued demon, Zhang Zhou raised the palm of the hand that was lodged with the Taishang Forgetful Love Bead in its pleading. He glanced at the puppet hanging from his waist that was almost identical to Midorihime's humanoid form, closed his eyes in some pain, and pressed his hand to the eyebrows of the demon kneeling in the narrow alley.

"Forget this yearning, your presence and existence will only destroy this infinitely beautiful world in your eyes." Before eliminating its yearning, Zhang Zhou said in a low voice. After he said this, the woman with a snake head kneeling in front of him cried bitterly, "Why...... Why...... Why? Her questioning voice grew quieter and quieter, and finally faded into the sound of steady breathing.

Zhang Zhou removed the palm of the hand that was lodged in the Taishang Forgetful Love Bead, then lifted her body and sent her back into the gap in the space where she was released, allowing the sudden white light to send her back to where she was supposed to be.

There are a total of five fixed, non-healing space gaps in this city, and every day there will be different demons yearning for this glitzy world, undead spirits who are attached to the things of life and even evil things that exist completely just for destruction come to this city through them, and all he has to do is to block these things that want to appear in this world from this world that has a fixed and indestructible order!

Zhang Zhou pulled out the long knife of the night that was inserted in the gap between the floor tiles, let it re-divide into three parts, and returned to his body. After resting against the wall for a moment, he set his sights on a delicate apartment not far away. "Next, go there......" he whispered, ready for the show that would happen every few days.

He opened his glass-colored transparent left eye, erased his presence for a moment, and slowly walked towards where his companion was. What he didn't notice was that the blood dripping from his fingertips in the alleyway quickly disappeared into the floor as it left his field of vision. At that moment, the entire alley showed a slight color of blood, as if it had life.

There was a knock at the door. Alone in the empty living room, the girl who was quietly thinking about something interrupted her daze the moment she heard the knock on the door, turned over and got off the sofa, put on her slippers, and slowly walked to the entrance.

The moment the door was unlocked, an invisible wind swept into the living room. Li Ai closed the door casually, turned her head to look at the scarred boy who was standing not far behind her, busy changing her shoes, and shook her head helplessly.

"You guy, can't you take good care of your body?" She grumbled in a low voice as she returned to the living room, and took out the medicine box from under the coffee table and placed it under the fluorescent lamp, "Although it can be restored by those wings, it ...... Doesn't it still hurt when you're hurt? ”

While complaining, she skillfully used tweezers to pinch out a ball of cotton, skillfully dipped it in alcohol, and prepared to treat his wounds. In front of her, Zhang Zhou sat on the sofa that belonged to him in an orderly manner, skillfully rolled up his sleeves, exposed his injuries in front of her, and waited for her to deal with it.

"What's the solution?" Ever since I came into contact with Midorihime, I can't kill any being except for those evil creatures that are full of destruction. So, in order to subdue them, it is natural to pay more price. Zhang Zhou responded to Li Ai's words in a low voice, ignoring the pain of the alcohol-eroded wound as if it were nothing. Xu said something heavy, and after that, there was a long silence between him and her, and the whole living room was silent except for the sound of alcohol cotton rubbing against his skin.

After a long time, after Li Ai took care of the wounds on his body, he packed up the medicine box, stuffed it back under the coffee table, and then sat next to Zhang Zhou, looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window with him wrapped in bandages.

"Now, Zhang Zhou." She suddenly called out his name.

"Well, what's the matter?" Zhang Zhou turned his head and looked at Li Ai.

"Can you stay tonight?" Li Ai whispered.

“…… Ha? Zhang Zhou paused, and only then did he realize what she had just said.

"I have something I need your help with."

“……”
