Chapter 7: A Bloodstained Smile

Desire is like a torrent, not strong, not blocked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I never thought that after something like that, I would want to be found so much. The desire to be remembered eroded my heart and beat the wall of my heart again and again! Inevitably, I began to think about the person who had found me, and if no companion had found me, I hoped that she would find me again.

Heh, didn't you decide a long time ago not to let ordinary people approach the world I live in? Why, now I have such irresponsible thoughts? I stared out the window at the sky, meditating, trying to get an answer.

I...... Are you starting to get weak?

Yes, warmth degrades. It's like a quilt in the morning. I smiled bitterly, well, what's this? I, Zhang Zhou, a young man with a second degree of secondary school, how can I be so literary?

Zhang Zhou, "Huh?" Who's calling me? Speaking of which, the last time someone took the initiative to call me by name was a long time ago, right? No, it's not. She also called me by my name, did it feel like being called by my name? Why, do I think this time the cry is not as good as hers? I turned my head slowly and faced the cold-looking political teacher...... By the way, I'm in class.

At that time, I stood in the last row with my politics textbook in my hand, and I didn't think about what I would encounter after that.

After that class, it's time for the end of school. With my school bag on my back, I stood at the intersection of avenues and laneways, took one last look at the bustling scene of the flow of people, and then stepped into the deep laneway. Speaking of which, this is where I was first found, right? That feeling...... It's not bad.

I curled the corners of my mouth and crushed tiny imprisoning runes at my fingertips. As you can see, I've set up runes like this at several fixed foreign object spawn points in the city, and it will imprison the foreign object that appears within a specific range, waiting for me to deal with it.

I hesitated to open the barrier, but in the end I kept the original standard configuration, only expanding the full obscured area outward by half a kilometer again. With such a range, her residence should be within the range, right? Even if she wasn't, her telescope wouldn't have that much accuracy, would it?

After doing all this, I turned my head to look at the pitch-black object that had been dispersed because of its confinement, and could break free from the gap between the other place and the present world, and my eyes grew cold. This guy is an evil creature who wants to destroy. In that case, there will be no mercy.

I raised my right hand and grabbed the hilt of the long knife that dwelt in my arm, and pulled it out of the gap between flesh and bone, the pain of scraping my bones must have made my face a little pale, right? Oh, isn't it over yet? It's a big guy this time. The trembling fingertips of his left hand groped around his waist, and then he dug deep into his flesh and pulled out a thumb-sized bright red crystal, and then buckled it to the blade of the long knife.

I gasped, then unfastened the bandage on my hand and swiped it on the blade with my hand, the pitch-black flames instantly igniting the entire long knife. I looked at the blade with some prostration, and dragged it towards the pitch-black evil that was frantically pounding at the barrier barrier.

With each step I took closer, its attacks on the barrier became more frantic. The smell of its companion's blood on this knife made it feel threatened with death! However, no matter how frightened it is, it is impossible not to resist. Knowing this, I dragged my long knife and approached the dark creature step by step.

……

Once again, I saw him fight head-on. And the angle chosen by the telescope just allowed me to see everything he did completely. The pale face he turned when he pulled the long knife from his arm, the spasmodic twitching of the muscles on his face as he pulled the blood-soaked diamond hedron from the flesh from his waist, and the murderous intent on his face as he looked at the monster. All of this is the real face of the world I am about to touch.

I shuddered. I was a little confused by such a move. I hurriedly stomped my foot, suppressed the trembling feeling, and waited quietly, waiting for the end of the battle that belonged to him. I could see his pain, and I could feel his longing. He's lonely, he's hopeful. I suddenly wondered what kind of expression he would have when he saw me in front of him again.

It will definitely ...... It's hilarious, isn't it? I can't laugh, though. I put a ban on my mouth, and then continued to watch the battle scene intensifying in the telescope. In the footage, the guy dodged the corrosive black blood that erupted from the monster's body, and then plunged the long knife covered in black flames into the monster's body again.

The monster struggled wildly, its pitch-black claws waving hard, drifting away in front of him. He pressed its body hard, digging the long knife deeper and deeper into its body, closer and closer to its heart. As the long knife sank, the monster's frantically swung claws approached Zhang Zhou's face little by little.

But in the face of the claws that were getting closer and closer, Zhang Zhou's face was just a dead silence. He gripped the handle of the long knife with all his might, and slammed the blade into the heart of the monster at his feet, and at that moment, the monster's frantically swung claws swept across his pale cheek, leaving a wound that ran through his cheek and was a centimeter deep. Blood poured from the wound and dripped down his cheek onto the monster beneath him.

The monster's claws hung limply. And as it fell to the ground, its corpse turned into black embers and drifted in the wind. In the flying black debris, his expression looked so hollow. I think I probably understand some of the reasons why he portrayed himself as a secondary disease.

We are all loners. However, what he wanted was not this loneliness. He, like me, is a lonely man. It's just that I am deep in loneliness and enjoy loneliness, and he is deep in loneliness and endure loneliness. The difference between one word and one word is worlds apart. I've long since given up on expectation, and I've given up on myself. So I'm used to being alone; And he's still looking forward to it, no...... I can feel it...... He couldn't give up anticipation. I don't know exactly what he went through. I don't need to know what he's been through. Because, where I am going to appear, is not his past, but his present, his future! If I make myself an indispensable presence, I will be able to get the answer. Take advantage of what he desperately needs...... That's what I think. Hm. I'm such a ...... At that time, I didn't understand why I would put myself around the bush and become an integral part of him. No, maybe three years later, I haven't figured it out yet. I didn't think about it at that time, I just nervously looked at the picture on my phone at that time, waiting, waiting for the opportunity.

Zhang Zhou laboriously pulled out the long knife that had been inserted into the ground, leaning against the narrow alleyway wall and gasping violently. The blood on his face was still flowing, but he didn't mean to reach out to wipe it.

The long knife in his hand disintegrated into the original three things in an instant, and returned to his body. He seemed to lose his strength completely at that moment, and his body, which was barely leaning against the wall, also slipped down. He hung his head and watched as the drips fell to the ground, gradually accumulating a small puddle of blood. The corners of his mouth were curled bitterly.

"I'm still ...... Alive. "Pain is proof of being alive. But he didn't want to tell himself that he was alive anymore. After being found by that man, the longing in his heart became more and more turbulent. He squirmed his lips at the pool of blood on the ground, and spat out an extremely tired sentence, "...... Please...... Find me......"

Then, he heard footsteps. He looked up in the direction from which the footsteps came, and from there came the same face as he had been.

She stood in front of him. She said, "...... I saw it all. ”

“…… It's you again. The blood on his face flowed sideways into his mouth as he tilted his head, but he didn't care, but looked up at her with a bloodstained smile.
