The bells ignited black flames and kept attacking me, but they were physical and hit me, burning black holes.

The flames spread from the mouth of the cave, and I extinguished it with my hand, did the child want to burn me to the point that only the jade of the four souls remained.

Dodge the bell, wrap the branches and vines around the tree trunk in the distance, and pull yourself over. After landing, the scene around me changed, and I was back where I was.

It doesn't work this way, no matter how you go, you can't get out.

It's like being routed.

I suddenly remembered the picture of Hitomi trapping the rats that day, and they always walked along the red line. Could it be that I am actually stepping on the line, and if so, then the way to destroy it is to cut off the red line under my feet.

With a wave of the branch, he made a whip mark on the ground, and the bells around him lost control and fell with a clatter.

It worked.

"Are mikome-sama going to abandon me?"

Hitomi said faintly from behind.

She was still standing where she had been, and she didn't seem to be able to get out. I didn't hesitate to run away, Hitomi, wait for me to come back.

……

Azusa Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Maitreya and Coral stand at the mouth of the steps.

"Hasn't Kagome come out yet?"

Maitreya: "Miss Lin? ”

They must have been stopped by the Azusa Mountain Elve.

"I'll go find her."

"It's useless, if you go in, you'll be invited out."

Mt. Azusa is covered in clouds and mist, and it's easy to get lost, so even if that's the case, give it a try.

After only going up the stairs for a while, the fog gathered around me, and in an instant my eyes were so white that I couldn't even see the trees next to me.

With a few waves of the sleeve, the mist does not disperse at all. The stairs I saw before are straight up, so you shouldn't hit a tree if you run forward.

“？”

There is a figure in front.

When I got closer, I found that it was a person with a snow-white body and a covered face. Like a human but without the breath of a human, the elves of Azusa Mountain.

"This is not the place for you."

"In that case, why don't you put me at the foot of the mountain like Maitreya and the others?"

"I'm warning you now, if you don't want to be nosy, or you can choose to fight with me."

Fighting elves?

"I didn't mean that, I just wanted to find a girl named Kagome and I needed her to save someone."

"She's going through a trial and can't interrupt."

To restore spiritual power, this level is indeed very important.

"Then, please let me see where she goes."

The elf unexpectedly did not refuse, "Follow me." ”

It lowered its sleeves, revealing a face like Sesshomaru's. I was wary of it, because it was said to be able to change its appearance according to what others thought in their hearts, which was a sign of hostility.

It turned away, and the white mist dispersed to reveal its path. I walked with it, and even the voice it spoke became like Sesshomaru, and if I didn't look at its face, I would have thought it was real.

"As an evil demon, why do you want to save people?"

Ha? "Is there a conflict between the two?"

"The reason why the evil demon is an evil demon is that it is opposed to people and justice, and if you don't know your position, you will only be tolerated by both good and evil in the future."

“……”

The further you go, the more you go, the steps under your feet disappear, as if you were walking in the air. Further down, Kagome pulls vines and hangs from the cliff. On the side, Kikyo was talking to her, and from my vantage point, I could see that Kikyo's back was spider silk.

She's battling her demons.

"That girl will break free in no time."

Even the elves are positive about her willpower.

It suddenly asked, "What about you?" ”

"What?"

Then I stood up without warning and fell. The elf grew farther and farther away from me, turning into a dot.

"Sister Miko?"

Her eyes darkened for a second, and Suzu's face appeared in front of her.

"Suzu?"

I propped up and looked around, next to the river, and grass underneath, where was this?

"Sister Miko, are you alright?"

"Hmm, it's okay, why are you here?" I looked to the side, "Where's Sesshomaru?" ”

"Does my sister like Sesshomaru-sama?"

“？ Well...... Why do you ask? ”

Xiao Ling was a little aggrieved, "Does my sister want to rob and kill Seimaru-sama with me?" ”

"Huh?" I was stunned.

"No, Sesshomaru-sama won't like you."

Suzu said cruel words, but with an innocent face.

"Suzu, what's wrong with you?"

Instead of answering me, she continued, "Sesshomaru-sama likes people who are cheerful and smile as warm as the sun, and they don't like dark and paranoid like you. ”

"You ......"

Suzu interrupted me: "So you let it go." ”

“……”

Is this really a small bell? There was no way she could say such a thing, she didn't even know what darkness and paranoia were.

"You're not Suzu."

I pulled out my sword and put it around her neck, "Who are you?!" ”

There is no demonic energy and evil energy in her, what is it that is tempting me.

"You're going to kill me?" She tilted her head closer to Jian Feng, "You really want to kill me, I know from the first time I met you, you want to replace me by Sesshomaru-sama's side." ”

"Shut up." Although what she said was something I had thought about, I hadn't had since the first time. "Reveal your true form, or I'll cut off your head!"

"Like this?"

She turned her head sideways, and blood flowed out. She fell to the ground, looked at me with wide eyes, and said, "You killed me." ”

My hand shook, the sword fell to the ground, and even though I knew she wasn't real, my heart was beating fast as I watched her slowly lose her spirit.

I was more apprehensive and apprehensive than I was finally free of this obstacle.

What I thought later was that Sesshomaru accepted me and lived with her because I liked her too.

She fell for a long time, and I stood for a long time, but she never changed into anything else. It occurred to me that I thought, is she real? The more time passes, the more I come to this ridiculous conclusion.

No, no, Xiaoling, she is so simple, how could she say what she just said.

I tried desperately to suggest to myself, but it stopped abruptly when I saw her lifeless appearance.

...... "My hands are shaking a little, I'm going to get out of here."

The whole body seemed to freeze, unable to take a step, and couldn't even take his eyes off it, like someone held my eyeballs and made sure I looked at her, the way I killed her.

"You must be happy."

A voice came from within me.

"Behold, Sesshomaru's favorite human girl is dead, and you can fill the void."

No, it's not, Sesshomaru knows that he will never forgive me.

"It's stupid, no one will know that she died here."

The voice kept pulling the strings in my heart, telling me not to care about killing her.

"The life you want will come true in no time, so be happy and cheer."

I opened my mouth, barely making a sound, "I can't." ”

"What?"

“…… I can't kill her. ”

Her smile, her kindness, no.
