20 The other side

bgm:Strategy (Boss of Adversity)

Darkness is short, night is eternal.

Just as life is short, death is eternal.

It's night.

Magpie stands on the roof of a tall building, where he once fought against the transcendent painter F. Although they tore each other's bodies apart and destroyed each other, they couldn't kill each other after all.

"Now, can you see that?"

Standing on his feet in a dangerous position where he could jump off the tall building in the next step, he suddenly asked.

The night breeze whipped the ends of his hair, and his black hair fluttered in the air, like seaweed, and like a monster hidden in the seaweed.

There was not a single living person around the magpie.

"Hmm. ”

There was a cold answer in the air, and it was the red-haired voice.

It is true that there are no living people here, but there are still dead people.

That is the "plague" that is spreading in this city, the "virus" that is absolutely incurable, and the culprit who you have become like that. ”

Magpie squinted at the brightly lit bustling world at his feet.

"Your Xiaoyi lives in such a dangerous world, do you understand?"

"Well, I understand now, completely understood. ”

Shadows emerge from the ground, spread, extend, attach, climb, derive. In the end, it condensed into a half-human-tall human form, with no only half of the skin on it, which belonged to the redhead.

Although it has become much smaller, it is not so much shrinking as condensed, and the red hair is now emitting something like black smoke all over his body, and the whole person has an evil and fanatical aura compared to before, like a pot of boiling oil.

"Xiaoyi, does she know?"

"I don't know, I didn't tell her anything, and even she didn't know you were alive. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ Why isn't she with you?"

"I didn't let her come along. ”

"You dumped her?" The little black figure next to the magpie visibly became unstable, and there was a chill in his voice.

"Hey, don't say it so ugly. How much effort do you think it took me to get you back in half a day?"

"These are two different things, and they can't be combined to make up for it. ”

"The girl asked me if you would come back... If it weren't for the twist in nature, maybe I would have been able to resurrect you. - If you die a normal death. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ What exactly is my current situation? This torso. Honestly, even I don't really understand it myself. It feels like I'm no longer here, but I can drive it. ”

"This is the inhibition effect of 148, I mixed the powder of 148 into your original piece of paper, which can be regarded as temporarily suppressing the impulse of the program implanted in your body, but at the same time weakening the essence of your existence. And.. It's a very unreliable thing to rely on 148 all the time, and it will soon reach its limit, before your limit arrives. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ I don't understand. You're saying I can't stay at this state for long, are you?"

"Seven days, seven days later, it's the end of everything, it's time for the story to come to an end, the actors will go off the stage one by one, the stage will collapse, and some of the actors will go to a new stage, and some will never go on stage again. ”

"Seven days, what can I do for you?"

"For me? no, no, no, it's for your little yi, if it's just me, even if there is a big disaster to come. The world is big, and you can go. As for what you can do, what you can do, when you meet fate, you will naturally know. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ Well, why do you talk so much about detours. ”

"That's a matter of your understanding. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ Can I know exactly what happened to me?"

"Of course, we don't have a relationship, but I won't let my efforts go to waste. ”

"Please be sure to tell me. ”

"Our student president, you know what?"

"Of course, he's a celebrity, and he used to have business dealings with my family. Before his parents died. ”

"Oh, that's easy to explain. As far as I can see, himself, or whatever else is around him, is the source of this "virus". ”

"Virus, are you sure?"

"To use an analogy, in fact, you, you are not infected, to be precise, distorted, changed, interfered. ”

"Change. . . ”

"It's like setting up a program module and making changes when you create a character template, so I say it's a fundamental change. If your source code has been modified by GM, you won't even be able to find the direction of the restoration. ”

"It's like the size of your original body has been modified, but you only know the current size, and the original one is no longer known and deleted. A state of complete powerlessness to change"

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ Really?" the redhead's voice sounded a little low.

"Oh, you want to be resurrected?"

An interested smile spread across Magpie's face.

"If I can still exist normally, I can always be with Xiaoyi. Where is your turn?,But you haven't agreed.。。 If you live, you don't usually want to die. ”

"I can do some simple and rough reversals, but you're completely out of my reach. To say that it is illogical to resurrect you. I am afraid that the only one who can do this kind of thing is the existence of the primordial Almighty Eternal Lord. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ What the hell. "Redhead. Or the little black man, her little hand on her cheek, as if thinking about the meaning of the magpie's words.

"Anyway, it's hopeless to resurrect now, right?,Forget it.,Reasonable.,Although I was still excited when you asked me to regain consciousness before.。。 But as long as you can help Xiaoyi in the end, it doesn't matter what. ”

"It's best that you can think that way. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ Speaking of which, why do you want to help us? Is it because Xiaoyi said that he likes you?。。 Ahh ”

"Huh?"

"That is... Don't tell me it's fate, you're not honest, you're talking about "fate and fate" all day long, tell me the truth. Aren't you also taking a fancy to my Xiaoyi?" the redhead deliberately accentuated the words "my Xiaoyi".

"Huh?"

"I'll tell you! I just paid you to take care of her, so you don't have anything to think about. Xiao Yi will always be mine, both in body and soul. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ Nope. Magpie's voice suddenly deepened, and he let out a hoarse laugh of "hey, hey, hey, hey".

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ What's wrong with you? You look a little weird, are you okay?"

Magpie didn't answer her, took out the medicine bottle directly from his pocket, and knocked two pills directly to refresh his mind.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ You know what, the soul is something that doesn't exist, it's a false artifact. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ Completely ignorant of what you're talking about. ”

"You don't have to understand, sorry, occupational disease. I ask you, why are you right. Well, "your little yi" is dead hearted?"

"Because of love!"

"This is also perfunctory, to be honest, even you can't tell yourself, right? In short, I think Xiaoyi is so cute, it's just perfect, and I fell into it if I wasn't careful. ”

"What do you mean?" The redhead felt a wave of unhappiness and irritability.

"It's not interesting. In short, I am different from you, you act for this reason, I act for other reasons, and the indicators we have to achieve in the process of action are the same, and that is enough. "Magpie wants to end this topic quickly.

"Hey, you tell me clearly, what the hell is. Eh, where have you been?"

The little black man was a little angry, and suddenly found that the magpie had disappeared in place.

If the redhead still has a human body, it must be full of black lines and cold sweat, right?

The magpie stepped out of the roof of the building, went straight into the airβ€”and then fell at breakneck speed.

The air flew around me, and I felt that the air pressure I received was much less. Clothes hunting. The magpie kept its head and feet in a position as fast as it approached the ground, and then disappeared two or three meters above the ground, vanishing out of thin air, like a pencil mark erased by an eraser.

Occasionally, people passing by this remote place only saw a vague black shadow falling from the sky, thinking it was a high-altitude projectile from an unscrupulous person, and did not care.

"Hey, hey, what's that guy? dead?" the little black man also hovered in mid-air, his head bowed and looked down.

"What a rude fellow, I just saved you, although you only have seven days left, but you won't curse me to death, right?"

The redhead startled, and the voice came from in front of her, although it could be felt from the flow of air and intuition. There was indeed something in front of me.

Although it's said to be in front of me.,But at this moment I don't have a distinction between before and after.,Although I can only see the gray world.,But I can see the ten roads with my eyes and hear a hundred directions.。。 What a novel experience.

"You're next to me?" The redhead poked her hand, because there were no fingers, and now her entire arm was a small wooden stick emitting black smoke.

"Yes, this is what I call the "other side", in short, special shoes, capable of a certain degree of flight and optical invisibility. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ You really have everything. The redhead sighed.

"What do you mean I have everything? Magpie glanced at her, "If you really want to talk about it, this thing is almost the same as the stone on the side of the road. It's all quarks. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ Don't poke it.,All you're dealing with now is a membrane.,It's that it provides me with the same force and optical invisibility as the surrounding area.,Although it's powerful.,For example, you can move as long as you change shape appropriately.。。 But it's also relatively fragile.,In the physical sense, it's just an ordinary person who can't destroy it.,It's especially vulnerable to the destruction of the pressure.,If a guy like you pokes it again, I'll fall to death.。 ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚ Guys like you. What words. What do you call a guy like you" Although the redhead couldn't make an expression, it also exuded a dangerous aura.

"Well, anyway, I'll take you to see the scene, if I'm not mistaken, the show is about to begin, do you want to take a ride?"
