The vague light finally broke through the gloomy night sky and shone straight down through the dense layers of air.

Dawn.

Arrival.

In the sky, I don't know if it was a coincidence or destined, a beam of golden light shone on the stone tablet, and the font on it was vividly mapped.

Aya Xiaocheng quietly looked at the stone tablet in front of him, and after hearing Lubbock's inquiry, he slowly opened his mouth and explained to them how Hill died.

"So... Hill was killed by an enemy attack to save me. Aya Xiaocheng's hair was gently blown by the breeze, and his voice was flat, but full of a kind of self-reproach.

As soon as his words fell, everyone in the night raid fell silent, the atmosphere was very quiet, and no one broke this unique atmosphere.

After a while.

The rustle of the wind blows.

Suddenly.

A soft female voice shattered the silence.

"You don't have to feel guilty, if it was Hill, she would have done it." Red Hitomi put down her right hand, which was clutching her left arm, and raised her ruby eyes to look directly at Aya Xiaocheng's back.

Leona took a few steps forward, patted Aya Xiaocheng's shoulder, tried to squeeze out a smile and said softly: "That's right, Hill is such a person, you don't have to feel guilty." ”

Although she seemed to be comforting Aya Xiaocheng, Leonay's golden pupils glowed with a glimmer of crystalline light.

Apparently.

Leonay wasn't as calm as her expression.

"I know She's such a person, Hill." Aya Xiaocheng shook her head, and then muttered to herself, "I know she's such a person......"

Ayakoto is like a person who feels very guilty and blames himself for causing Hill's death because of his mistakes.

The red pupils all knew that it was not his fault, and when they saw him like this, they comforted him softly.

"Damn the minister!" Lubbock's face became very ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Even the ability to sneak attack is really insidious!" ”

It can hide in the shadows, and then suddenly emerge from the shadows when others are not looking, and launch a sneak attack.

This ability is just too weird.

And it's too insidious.

While Lubbo was angry, he also felt a chill in his back, and he really deserved to be the cunning minister, even his subordinates were so shameless.

Unexpectedly, when Aya Xiaocheng and they were about to retreat, they sneaked up from the shadows.

See him next time.

Gotta kill him!

Brand stepped forward and patted Lubbock on the shoulder, then walked to the stele in his stunned expression, squatted down, looked at the stele with soft eyes, and said slowly:

"It doesn't matter who the other party is, what abilities they have, and when they will appear, this is the moment we join the Night Raid."

After a pause, he said again: "We are facing unknown dangers, and we may die at any time, but Hill must have walked with a smile before leaving......

"Right? Aya Kosei. Brand asked, looking back at Aya Xiaocheng.

Aya Xiaocheng was stunned for a moment.

Then Aya Xiaocheng said lightly: "Well, she smiled beautifully and gently, like an angel in the mortal world who wants to return to heaven, but... Some reluctance. ”

"yes, it's reluctant," Brand sighed and stood up, staring at the stele with deep eyes.

Najeta, who was standing at the back, took out a cigarette from her pocket, opened the lid of the lighter with a snap, and lit the cigarette butt with a swipe.

Call~

She gently exhaled a puff of white smoke.

I only heard Najeta say lightly: "I have also walked a lot of companions before, but since we have chosen this path, the future is not something we can control, the only thing we can do is to live well, at least... Leave this world with a smile. ”

She still hasn't said a word.

It is.

Death is perhaps the best outcome for them.

Because.

If you are caught.

The fate of the face was that life was worse than death, and he was treated humiliatingly, and then he was hung in the center of the square to intimidate everyone.

It would have been too miserable to have done that, Najeta had seen too many of her companions treated like this, hung in the middle of the square in humiliation, her skin open and her blood flowing, it was better to die with dignity and dignity.

"Well, Boss, you're right, the killer has been walking in the dark, and he will return to the darkness eventually." Aya Xiaocheng said lightly.

Leonai saw Aya Xiaocheng's plain appearance, and thought that he was blaming himself, so he directly hooked his head with his arm, and said with a hearty smile: "Don't think too much, Hill will definitely live better in another world, and we people must live well, otherwise it will make Hill sad?" ”

Another world?

For Aya Xiaocheng, the other world is the strength space, and it is even more dangerous there, and everyone lives in order to improve their strength.

All had to struggle hard.

And will that kind of world really be happy?

At least.

Until now, Aya Xiaocheng has not seen it.

But.

NPCs in mission scenarios like Hill are estimated to be similar to data deletion when they die, waiting until a new mission scene opens.

She will be "resurrected" again.

After all, she's just a computer-like program, just a virtual character.

Aya Xiaocheng, who was hooked by Leonai's arm, said helplessly: "Well, you're right, those of us who are alive must live well with Ciel's share, otherwise we will be embarrassed to see her again." ”

"That's right." Leonay grinned.

"Well, that's right, Hill must want us to live happily instead of being sad." Akatomi smiled softly.

"yes!" Ma Yin wiped the tears from her eyes, crossed her waist with her left hand, and pointed at Aya Xiaocheng with her right hand: "Hill, she definitely wants you to live well, so you can't live up to her wishes, you have to live well." ”

It's not the first time that Ma Yin has experienced the death of her companions, and she is sad every time a companion dies.

Merely.

She also knew it wasn't going to help.

From the initial anger and wanting to take revenge immediately, to the current calmness, I put the idea of revenge in my heart, instead of being sad and angry all day long.

It's just that.

What remains the same.

When Maine encounters Ciel's killer, she will definitely kill him with her own hands.

But before that, she had to live well, live happily, and live with Hill's sake.

"Smack!"

Najeta clapped her palms.

Everyone's attention was drawn to her for a moment.

I only heard her smile lightly: "Let's say goodbye to Hill here, I hope she can live a happy life in another world." ”

Najeta looked at the stele, then looked up at the sky with a faint morning light.

"Oh."

Leonay looked up at the dawn sky, a familiar face faintly in the glittering light.

The corners of her mouth curved into an arc, and she smiled heartily: "Ciel, goodbye." ”

The black hair was blown by a breeze, and the red pupils lifted the strands of hair between her ears, and muttered with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, "Goodbye, Ciel." ”

With her hands on her hips, Ma Yin shouted to the sky, "Ciel! Bye! ”

Brand clasped his hands around his chest, bared a row of shiny teeth, and said to the sky, "Ciel, goodbye." ”

Lubbo sighed softly, his eyes under his long green hair opened and closed, and then exhaled and looked at the sky: "Ciel, goodbye." ”

Horikita Suzune looked at the sky, her purple eyes exuding a faint glow, after all, she and Hill hadn't known each other for a long time, and they didn't have any feelings, so they just nodded faintly.

Aya Xiaocheng also looked up at the sky, looking at the sky with quiet eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Long..

The group finally left the stele and returned to the hall.

And a beam of light shines on the stone tablet, reflecting crystal beautifully.
