Chu Tianjiao paused, and then he slowly retreated, slowly taking down the giant sword behind his back. The giant sword was flat, pointing at the figure that fell beside Lu Mingfei. After that, he did not rush to attack, but quietly maintained this movement, like a sculpture standing in the rain.

Eriyi's hand holding the long knife hung low, as if he didn't see Chu Tianjiao raising his sword in the distance at all, nor did he see the terrifying sword marks on the surrounding buildings. She squatted beside Lu Mingfei, who was not humanoid but was still recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gently lifted him up from the puddle, she held Lu Mingfei and let him half-lean on her body so that he could see her face, she lifted the long sleeves of the witch dress and gently helped him wipe the stains on his face, and her fingertips brushed his face, like a wicker brushing the water surface in spring.

"You...... Why are you here......" Lu Mingfei's wide open eyes were full of horror, and his vocal cords were still slowly recovering, which made his voice hoarse like scraping gravel. He lifted a hand vigorously, not knowing whether he wanted to push her away and let him go quickly, or to stroke her face to see if he was dreaming. But the hand was only halfway stretched out when Eri was tightly gripped. Eri leaned over to his ear and whispered.

"You're here to save me."

"I ...... I was just...... yes, it's just that I'm too weak. Lu Mingfei just tried to explain something clearly, like sorting out a mess of yarn. But in the end, he didn't say anything, just smiled with relief, being able to come here and look at him with such eyes meant that Erika already knew a lot of things. She has been following Li Su all the time, maybe she knows more than herself.

Lu Mingfei tried to shake the hand holding the shield, and a force from nowhere poured into the limbs and bones, as if a miracle had happened. He coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, tried to stand up with his shield pestle on the ground, looked at Chu Tianjiao, who was raising his sword, and pointed in the direction he came from. "Run, Eri, run. Go to Lisu and find him, then flee the Nibelungen and leave it far away. ”

"What about you?" Eri asked. She quietly looked at Lu Mingfei, who stood up to protect her.

"I'll stop him here, but you have to be fast, I probably won't be able to stop him for long." Lu Mingfei looked back and smiled, smiling ugly. He turned back and whispered.

"I'm sorry I was late that time." His voice was low, as if he were just talking to himself.

"Hmm." Eri took his hand behind him and replied in a low voice.

"You...... Hate me? Lu Mingfei asked with a stiff voice, but his trembling calves had already exposed his true heart.

"Hate. I hated it at the time. I only felt very cold, very lonely, I just felt that I couldn't move, I was thrown into the darkness darker than the deep sea by a person, and my body became cold little by little......"

"Really......"

"But...... Sakura came to my rescue. ”

"What?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"It was Sakura who saved me." Eri repeated it again.

"Suddenly the darkness was torn apart, and then I saw Sakura's weeping face. I was amazed and thought to myself that I hadn't had time to go to Seoul, which was full of begonia flowers, and I hadn't found the big begonia tree or bought ice cream, so how could Sakura be here? ”

Sakura then helped me get dressed and put the doll next to me. I actually want to tell Sakura, I want to tell you that I can see you, so don't cry, don't look so sad......"

Is it...... So she knew.

Lu Mingfei felt as if a thread had broken in his heart, and a tidal wave of relief poured into his chest. The nose was sore, and the tears flowed down uncontrollably, but fortunately, it was raining heavily in the sky now, and Eri should not be able to see it.

Is it...... Wasn't she so lonely then...... That's great......

Lu Mingfei never forgot the day he returned to school. On that day, the wind from the helicopter swept the cherry blossoms throughout the city of Tokyo and rose from the top of the iron monument-like building. There he was reunited with Eri, and she returned to the Kassel Academy with him.

After that, he often had nightmares, dreaming that Eri Yi, who was skinny or bleeding from the corners of his eyes, or had his eyes gouged out, walked towards him step by step, like a female ghost in countless horror movies. After Eri forces him to a place where he has no way to retreat, she will raise her Japanese sword high and slash at him head-on. And the whole time, she was crying "It's so cold", "Why didn't you come to save me", "It's clearly agreed" and the like.

After that, Lu Mingfei was scared awake, and after waking up, he would always tremble and look at the pear clothes sleeping on the top bunk through a small mirror - after that, the waste wood brother moved away, and he did not refuse at the strong request of the pear clothes, and let her move into his dormitory - every time he saw the sleeping face of the pear clothes, it was as quiet as a baby.

In between the Executive Vice Chancellor's intensive program, he also taught himself some psychology knowledge, and after that, he was never frightened again, but every time he looked at the beech wood bed board on the top bunk in a daze, and couldn't sleep for a long time. It's different from what he thought at the beginning, and then he even hopes that Eri will really give him a knife like in his dream, so that he can sleep forever.

According to one psychologist, this is a phenomenon of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), which is commonly seen in soldiers who kill their comrades on the battlefield because of their mistakes, and then they often dream or see hallucinations of revenge from each other, and even the better the comrade before death, the greater the chance of this happening.

The psychologist said that this is actually a manifestation of human weakness, a kind of human avoidance psychology, hoping to use physical pain to erase the guilt in the heart, to escape the condemnation of conscience.

At first glance, this seems to be a bad deal, but in fact, even if the limb is severed, the pain can eventually dissipate, and human beings will not be tormented by pain for life. When the incident rings again after that, the patient often thinks that he has paid the price, that he is no longer in such pain, and that he or she even feels that the other person owes him. People who have not experienced similar masochistic behavior will have a sense of indebtedness every time they think about it, and it will be more painful.

After figuring out the reason, Lu Mingfei felt even more that he was a waste, and for a while he didn't even want to look in the mirror, because he didn't want to see himself with death, guilt and numbness in his eyes. Later, when Eri has any wishes, he will always try his best to satisfy her, but although she is a princess of the underworld, Eri is really a girl who can be easily satisfied, and her wishes are always small wishes such as "I want to eat five-eye fried rice together tonight" or "Let's go to the top of the mountain to see the lake together".

Later, after Lu Mingfei realized that he wanted the other party to make excessive wishes, this idea was tantamount to an alternative masochism to escape, and he despised himself even more.

So for him, being with Eri is a kind of redemption and punishment, and he is always secretly glad to know that Eri is safe, but then he inevitably remembers the way he took her out of the cocoon, and his heart ached.

But great...... Originally...... I saved her anyway, didn't she feel lonely......

The shackles that had been trapping Lu Mingfei were untied in this way, and Lu Mingfei's tears flowed uncontrollably, like heavy rain in the sky.

The two people not far away seemed to be caught in their memories, and Chu Tianjiao sensed that this was an excellent opportunity. He slowly raised his greatsword above his head. The air around the sword slowly twisted, and the next attack could be swung in less than a second. But suddenly there were countless vertical and horizontal blood marks on his body at the same time, and countless invisible blades slashed through Chu Tianjiao's body, making his skin open in an instant. The attack was interrupted, and Chu Tianjiao could only pick up the giant sword to protect himself in a hurry, and retreated again and again.

Vampire Scythe!

Entangled each other with countless vampire sickles, Eri Yi delicately carried Lu Mingfei on her shoulders, and ran like a deer. Looking at Lu Mingfei with a shocked face, she smiled, which made Lu Mingfei feel a little fluttering.

"But you seem to have forgotten that I'm not a vase, I was a celestial cloud of the Eight Snakes and Qi Clans before. I also learned a little bit about fighting at the Kassel Academy. ”

"yes." Lu Mingfei smiled, smiling very easily. He forgot the most important point, that is, Erika may be stronger than him, and her spirit is a vampire scythe. In terms of murder and vampire scythe, it may not be as good as Chu Zihang's Jun Yan, but harassment is a must, she easily interrupted Chu Tianjiao's attack before, and Eri Yi's physical strength is extremely good, enough to carry him as a big man and run away. Then the problem is very simple, as long as Eri Yi keeps his distance from Chu Tianjiao by carrying him all the time, and uses the vampire scythe to block the opponent's long-range attacks during the period. With her physical strength, she should be able to drag Li Su to come, and maybe even they can go directly to Li Su.

"That's it! Eri Yi! That's it! Come on! He shouted laughing.

"It's so gentle, Lu Jun." Eri jumped in the air with the same double jump in the game and jumped up to a five-story building. She glanced back at Chu Tianjiao, who was still entangled with the invisible enemy, and said.

"Yes, yes, Yasasi is the standard configuration of the GAL male protagonist......" As soon as the situation relaxed, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but start to rot again. He's such a personality that he can make a joke when he just has a moment to catch his breath. He also once imagined that if he was captured and killed for some reason in ancient times, he could also use this skill to make the beheaded eldest brother smile, and maybe he could still get a way to live......

"What are you doing! Eri Yi! What are you doing! Don't get too far away from him! Lu Mingfei suddenly became ten times more frightened than before, he pointed in the direction behind him and shouted: "He has a long-range attack!" Remember those ruined mansions! Don't get out of the vampire scythe! ”

"I know. It's so gentle, Lu Jun. Eri's voice suddenly became strange. She suddenly increased her speed and shook Chu Tianjiao away from her. She slashed through the glass of a building's façade with her knife and ran wildly down the narrow hallway. She finally found a room that wasn't too big and hid in it.

"He can find us! Eri Yi! Can't stop! Run! Thinking that Eri Yi was going to hide here until Li Su arrived, Lu Mingfei hurriedly yelled to remind her.

Eri didn't refute it, and she didn't pay attention to it. She put Lu Mingfei on the ground and found a roll of thin wire in the toolroom-like house. She tied Lu Mingfei's hands and feet with wire, and took out a capsule-sized signal transmitter from her pocket and stuffed it into Lu Mingfei's pocket.

After doing this, she looked at Lu Mingfei again, her fingers brushing his face that had even half of the bruises gone, with a pity expression. "Lu Jun is a very gentle person, and he has always played the role of Sakura in front of me. I've asked a lot of people, Lu Jun is really careful to play a person who is not like himself. ”

"What are you talking about! Sakura is me too! Lu Mingfei vaguely guessed something, and his face turned pale.

"It's different, Lu Jun. Sakura is a person who knows a lot and always takes me to all kinds of places, while Lu Mingfei is a guy who can only carry out other people's orders and has never had any opinions. Isn't it? It was the same when I was in the Three Gorges, and it was also when I was in Beijing, and before you dived into the deep sea to meet me...... I'm really sorry to keep forcing you to make decisions, but it must have been hard to play a role that isn't you. ”

"No...... I ......" Lu Mingfei stammered.

"And I know, oh, the person Sakura likes is me, and he said he likes me. And Lu Jun likes the girl named Chen Motong...... Isn't it? ”

"I'm just a stand-in for her, but I can do it for me." Eri suddenly smiled. "Lu Jun is really a very gentle person."

"It's not like that! That's not true! ”

"I know that Sakura isn't actually real, so ...... I'll never have him, he's just a dream. Eri gave him a deep look, picked up her long knife and walked to the door. Her voice was ethereal.

"Eri Yi! Come back! Come back! ”

"What if...... If I die here...... So Lukun, or the part of Lukun that belongs to Sakura...... Will you remember me? Yes...... Remember me forever? ”

"Come back! Come back! Eri !! ”

Lu Mingfei roared hoarsely until the door to the tool room was slammed shut. He felt like his heart was being held by a cold hand, and he couldn't forget the look in Eri's eyes.

It was a look he knew, he had seen it in his own eyes in the mirror countless times.

The name of the look was ...... Death.
