The wind, sweeping over the city.

A crimson falcon hovered across the sky and landed on her shoulder with a soft roar.

She sat at the top of a skyscraper hundreds of meters high, rows of tiny numbers emerging from a thin film covering the surface of her pupils.

"......Has 'stratification' begun?"

…………

In the city filled with endless dead silence at your feet, there is no trace of the breath of 'people' left.

Towering high-rise buildings have been reduced to empty cages made of steel and concrete, and the criss-crossing streets are deserted, except for the alternating light of traffic lights.

On the ground, no trace of insects and ants could be found, and after the cicada chirping that echoed all day long had disappeared, the whole city fell into a deathly silence—

…………

"Until 'tomorrow' comes, will this world continue to exist...... In other words, can you, who are at the center of the whirlpool, close the 'door' before the world collapses completely......"

Her hair fluttered in the air, and the girl jumped down from a height of hundreds of meters with her hands on the edge of the roof of the building.

Wind pressure is wantonly filling the heavens and the earth.

The placket of the garment was lifted in the wind, and the fingertips ran through the air.

There was not a trace of fear in the pupils, and he let the flesh and blood fall from a height of hundreds of meters.

The wind is the girl's wings, and when she wants to spread her wings and fly, there is no other shore in this world that she cannot reach.

"The number of jù collected is complete...... I'll leave the rest to 'those people......"

…………

"No...... right"

A dark shadow appeared in the girl's eyes.

It was a night hidden in the shadows of the city, with the same shadows overlapping.

"Is 'over there' going to meddle in this too...... It's getting more and more troublesome......"

…………

"Do you want to kill them? That person. ”

Exotic language, in the dark shadows, echoes without half emotional fluctuations.

"Do you think you can kill that guy?"

"I don't know...... However, the aura of that human made me ...... Very...... I want to kill her!! ”

In the shadows, a scarlet hue emerged in vain.

Bloodthirsty, furious, and unabashed, almost instinctive killing.

"Her 'blood' is unusually pure, and this kind of 'human' is extremely rare even in the whole world, but it ......"

A narrow streak of blood appeared on the sleeve of an arm that poked out of the darkness, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's almost impossible to keep her until 'we' go all out......"

…………

"Didn't you catch up in the end......

The girl glanced faintly at the shadow in the distance.

"Very strong ......"

A hint of crimson oozed from his fingertips.

"But it's too far to kill me......"

A fresh breeze blows.

As if it had never appeared, the girl's figure disappeared into mid-air like a phantom......

'Got it~Got it~'

The shrill chirping of cicadas echoed through the streets.

Yu He was weak and lay in front of the fan.

"It's so hot......"

"Why don't we have air conditioning in our house?"

The ghost girl pulls her clothes in front of the fan and fans the wind.

"Because it's an old-fashioned apartment...... The rent is low because the equipment is not complete, and the rent is low so it is affordable...... Then, I don't have the money to buy an air conditioner! ……”

He rolled on the ground.

"I want money, I want money~~"

"Then go to work......"

"I don't want to do anything~ I want to get something for nothing~"

"There is...... Once a month, the motivation mode ......"

Yu shook his head slightly.

"There's really no way, I'll prepare today's dinner......"

The Ghost Maiden stepped forward.

"Oh."

"Huh? ……”

"Huh?! ……”

"Poof! ……”

"Don't do it! Swear to me in the name of God!! ……”

Yu He hurriedly waved his hand, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead......

…………——

'Got it~~Got it~~Got it~~Got it~~'

…………

In summer, it is approaching evening.

The boy quietly walked out of the room and stepped into the noisy city.

The constant echoing of cicadas in the streets, the honking of cars, the cries of hawkers echoing through loudspeakers......

Countless 'voices' intertwined and echoed, filling the ears.

The crimson of the sky reflected by the sunset, the turquoise of the willow trees hanging low on the side of the street, and the bright neon of the city at night......

Countless 'colors' overlapped and reflected in the eyes.

The scorching heat of the sun, the coolness of the evening breeze, the faint warmth that I once felt in the palm of someone's hand......

Countless 'temperatures' gradually converge and turn into extremely real feelings.

raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was no trace of confusion in his dark pupils.

Is this the world I'm in......

Although I don't like the world, although there are many things that I have long been tired of, although there are still many questions that I can't understand......

But

I really felt it......

The existence of the world, as well as the existence of 'oneself'.

The boy named Yu He is indeed in this world.

Then the boy understood that at this moment, there was something he needed to do.

Even if you don't know why, even if you can't find the meaning of your actions......

But......

The boy stood in the corner of the city, gently raising his eyebrows and looking at the endless sky above him.

Somewhere 'ahead', there's 'something' waiting for you.

That's something that can only be done now, something that can only be done in this moment......

It is completely inconsistent with his own style of acting, and most of them are also transactions that only lose money and do not make money.

But......

"Oops, what a loss......"

A faint wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Slowly raise one foot and step forward......

How many 'moments' is the distance of one step?

The wind, stagnant.

The chirping of cicadas echoing in the sky was silent.

Time, space, temperature, touch, color......

All the qiē is frozen in this instant.

Then, in the next instant......

The footsteps landed on the ground.

The young man raised his gaze slightly, and faintly looked at the world that had collapsed reflected in the dark pupils......

Criss-crossing cracks spread across the streets, trees broke off at the waist, houses were reduced to rubble, scrapped vehicles were curled, and giant footprints were more than ten meters long that were printed on the ground in the distance.

The sound of cracking and shattering echoed between the heavens and the earth, like a prelude intertwined by the collapse of the world.

Pitch-black rain poured down from the sky, seeping into the surface along the cracks.

The young man looked up slightly stunned-

The pupil reflected the fall from the gray sky,

Petite figure......
