Chapter 52: The Promise She Wants, She Will Change

The rain was noisy and loud. Her words were washed apart by www.biquge.info the sound of the rain and did not reach anyone's ears. She stood in the dripping rain, her head slightly lowered, her lips squirmed, so innocent in hope.

“…… Na, Xiu, I'm ...... I've ...... I can't get close to them anymore...... I was left with only myself. She pursed her lips, and her eyes gleamed with an obscure light. You...... Will it stay with me forever and won't leave? ”

He had told her what kind of being he was, and she knew he would stay in her body. But what she wanted...... And it's not just such a stop. So she asked. Now, his answer...... became her only hope.

However, she waited a long time, and did not wait for his answer. Didn't even wait for his refusal, didn't hear anything from him. She thought ...... He was refusing in this way; Or, he has disappeared from her life.

That's why she was so depressed.

Therefore, when she heard his cry with a little guilt, she couldn't stop crying. He hadn't abandoned her, and she hadn't returned to being alone. He's still there for her, at least, for now.

Xiu was a little confused, he felt a little strange, the emotions she vented were not just as he guessed, just about the horror of killing and the helplessness that could no longer be touched, it seemed to be mixed with other things, these things, he had never experienced, and he had never understood.

He could only comfort in a low voice, soothing the wounds in her heart little by little. After a long time, she stopped crying, rolled over from the windowsill, reached out and slowly untied the belt of the goose yellow palace dress wrapped around her waist, and changed into another palace dress.

"Now, repair...... Don't ignore me anymore...... All right? She whispered as she put on the purple palace dress and wiped her white hair with the cotton cloth she had prepared. She didn't ask him why he had disappeared for so long, she just kept silent, praying for a promise.

Hearing her words, Xiu finally understood what he had overlooked. He shouldn't have left her side at that time, he shouldn't have blocked all his perceptions at that time, leaving her alone in the cold rain.

At that time, she was extremely fragile, and the emotions fluctuating in her heart were far from being soothed by a simple word of comfort. What's more, he who she regarded as an absolute barrier disappeared at that time. That's why she's so depressed.

She's just an ordinary person after all. Even if she has great power now, her roots are still an ordinary person. This can be seen from the fact that she chose to communicate with them after she had the power to see those existences. From the beginning, she put herself in a position of vulnerability; From the beginning, all she wanted was peace.

He is different from her, his predecessor was a general, a generation of famous generals who led the army in the midst of war, regarded human life as a mustard, led thousands of troops to kill people, created millions of floating slaughter, and generated a mountain of blood and corpses. One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and under the halo of this famous general, there are a lot of white bones. In his eyes, the life and death of other people are not important except for the people he cares about. In troubled times, no one can predict when their death will come. I can't even control my own life, let alone other irrelevant people. If he hadn't learned to ignore life, he would have collapsed under endless pressure. As the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of the army...... That's why he can watch the previous hosts bloodily slaughter those demons and monsters without any burden, and after surpassing those undead and evil things, he will accompany them to talk and laugh. I don't mind helping them kill.

So from his point of view, it is impossible to think of this at all. It was an oversight of his habits. And another reason for this negligence is actually to calm yourself. She was unlike all the hosts he'd ever stayed with. So, he couldn't apply the experience he had learned from them to her.

She is not the kind of demon who has passion in his first host, but chooses to escape from the world by herself, and the demon who kills and causes chaos is only based on the existence of fulfilling her mission; It's not like his second host who has an extremely strong hatred for demons and monsters, trying to kill all the strange madmen in the world.

She's a girl. Of the hosts he had boarded with, only the third was a girl like her. However, there is still a big difference between them. The third host was more like his sister to him. Naughty and cute, bold, in other words, it is brutal and willful, self-respecting. She's just using these powers to kill the rebellious aliens for pure fun.

She is different, she is not willing to start killing. In her eyes, the world is incomparably better. Even if she is rejected by the world, even if she is mired in the mire of malice, she still loves the world deeply and still wants to touch the beauty she hopes for.

Therefore, she will hesitate between drawing her sword and not drawing it, because, once her hands are bloody, she will never allow herself to touch it and merge into the beauty she desires. That's why, when she finally chose to draw her sword in the midst of the swing, he offered to let him stain the blood. Subtly, in his eyes, she has also become beautiful.

After all, she was only a sixteen-year-old girl, and she couldn't let go of the hope that haunted her soul. So, she hesitated to agree to his offer. Even though she knew that it was a cover-up, she agreed to his proposal. She didn't give up on what she had said to him, 'someday.'

She believed so much that she could definitely fit in with the crowd that rejected her, and believed that she swore to him that one day. However, the city that brought thirteen powers, including him, to her side shattered her faith with cruel choice. Then two paths were paved on the wreckage of the faith, one was to turn a blind eye, so that she would not be stained with blood, and could continue to touch her hopes. But...... She couldn't. So she chose the second one. She knew very well that no matter which one she chose, she would never be able to blend in with the crowd again. One is because of guilt, and the other is because of heart.

But when she despaired, he came up with such a way for her to steal the day, which brought her hope. She thought she could succeed, she thought her faith could be revived. But once again, the city shattered her hopes. That's why in the face of the blood that spilled out, in the face of the crumbling embers, she was so vulnerable. In her eyes, it was not only sin, but also her collapsed faith.

She was unlike any host he'd ever come into contact with. Again, he realized this deeply. Because in the past, even if those hosts lost him in the middle, they could still exist well. But for her now, once she loses him, she will no longer have any pillars. Killing her is an unbearable burden.

She needed him. He heard her heart speak. So he lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "Okay." I'll never close myself off in front of you like I did just now. I'll listen to everything you say. ”

He gave the promise she wanted, and wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by her preemptive voice.

She said, "Thank you." Then she was silent and continued, "Xiu, I've thought about it, I can't escape this fate that belongs to me after all. So, I'm not going to run away. I'll try to adapt, but ...... I still can't fight people. So...... Can I still ask you to help me? ”

After hearing her request clearly, Xiu, who was staying in her eyes, was stunned, and was silent for a while before he answered.

He knew that she ...... It's changing little by little. Eventually, she will change into something he doesn't know.
