2 [Perspective of the Halberd]

Zizi Zizi Zizi Zizi -

I see it.

I saw the future.

Kawanayuki, who looked frightened, sat on my bed-

And around her, which is around my room, there was nothing.

Kawanayuki can be dangerous......

We just used the power of the God of Fear to erase some of Huang Xiyu's amnestics, and now she is completely out of the control of the [Nian Qi God].

"Why are we standing here?"

"I'll talk about it later—Sunset, come with me."

I ran desperately with the sunset rain. Leaving the Xiangfu Avenue, a distance of 3 kilometers, how long do I need to run?

It's all not a thing-

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, why did you suddenly run away!"

Yuyu shouted in confusion.

"She could be in danger."

"She?"

"Kawanayuki-"

"Chuan ...... Famous snow? The girl you took with you when you went to the hot springs before? ”

"Ah, almost—you come with me first."

I rushed through five streets with the sunset rain, constantly overtaking shortcuts, and finally rushed home in the shortest possible time.

"Huhu...... Huhuhu, I can't do it anymore...... Let me rest for a while......"

Xiyu said, I was also so tired that I couldn't breathe.

However, in front of my house, I saw a police car.

"Officer Mountain......?"

"What's wrong with the little boy? Why are you in such a hurry - eh, this little girl. ”

Officer Shan leaned in front of my house and had a complicated expression when he saw the sunset.

"You ...... What kind of relationship is it? ”

Officer Mountain said with a smile.

"No! - Officer Shan, did you look at Mingxue? ”

"Ah......? Isn't she asleep? ”

I didn't pay much attention to Officer Shan, rushed into my room, and sure enough, I saw Mingxue sitting on the bed with a frightened face.

"Mingxue? What's wrong——? ”

"Ahh......h Halberd. ”

She doesn't look very good. No, it's pretty bad, why did she show such an expression.

"What's wrong with you, why are you sweating so much."

I quickly took a towel to help her wipe her sweat, she rubbed her eyes, and said slowly:

"I ...... Seems to remember something......"

"Remembering some ...... Thing? ”

"Ah—that's when it happened."

For me and Mingxue, [at that time] would only refer to one thing—the events of seven years ago.

But for her, it should have been a long time ago.

"I vaguely remember that I was tied up on a mountain—"

Mountain......? In this way, the body of Nayuki was indeed found on the mountain.

"But—what the hell is going on—"

Mingxue covered her head in pain.

"There's no need to think so hard - it's all in the past."

I comforted.

"No...... Something feels like something...... I seem to ...... Spent a long time in the mountains. ”

"For a long time?"

"Ah—I met someone—a little boy who was in the same situation as me."

"Little boy......?"

"A ...... It's a tall mountain—in the jungle at the top of the mountain, there's a white building...... [we] were brought into the white room by people dressed in white—"

"I ...... Guys? ”

Combined with the 'little boy' that Mingxue just said...... Could it be ......

"I wasn't the only one who was arrested, there was also a red-eyed boy with sickly white skin who looked like he had leukemia. He was in the same room as me. ”

Kawa Mingxue squinted slightly, and said while reminiscing.

"I didn't say a word to him – two days later, there was a commotion outside. A group of men dressed in white stunned me, and I was still in that room when I woke up again. But there were many burnt marks on my body - it hurt. ”

“……”

"I don't know what happened during that time when I was in a coma......"

3 [Kawanayuki Perspective]

Seven years ago.

"Eh, are you alright?"

The little boy in front of me, who seemed to have leukemia, asked me.

“…… It hurts...... It's quite something. ”

I tried my best to make myself smile. My memory is still stuck in those few people in white just now. I just remember that they were holding something the size of a cell phone, lunging at me, and then waking up again, it was now.

I seemed to be woken up in pain.

"I thought you wouldn't come back."

"Really...... What's going on? ”

I asked, puzzled, and the boy's expression looked rather indifferent.

Why am I here?

"Since you can come here, it means that you are not an ordinary person."

The boy said lightly.

"I think...... I'm pretty average—ahh ”

The burnt areas of my body began to hurt again. I held my breath and tried to make myself feel better.

"You're lying."

The boy commanded me.

Eh- Why-

But now I really want to lie down.

So he lay on the dirty floor—

The boy reached out and aimed it at my chest—

What is he going to do?

I panicked and hurriedly closed my eyes.

Even when I closed my eyes, I could feel the presence of light - and then I was surrounded by a warm air current, and gradually, the wound was not as painful as it had been.

“……”

When I opened my eyes, I found that the wounds on my body were slowly healing.

"Oh, that's amazing! In the past, when I was burned at Oriji's house, I didn't get better for a week. ”

I was surprised to say that the boy looked away indifferently.

"This is the power of 'qi', and I will give you a little 'qi'."

"Gas? Is it the kind of white stuff that fills the bathroom after taking a shower? ”

"—that's water mist. The concept of qi is very broad, from the air to the human qi to the qi of the world, everything has qi. ”

"Oh, that's amazing. Thank you. ”

I thanked the little boy, and although he didn't seem to be a good man, he turned out to be a good person.

"So, can you control the airflow?"

I'm interested.

"Sort of."

"That's amazing—like magic—huh, so why are we in this room?"

"You and I were both arrested."

"Catch—"

"Grab it and do the experiment."

The boy said without the slightest fear.

"Why! Why arrest me! When will you let me go back—I'm still looking for the halberd—"

"Who is Oriji...... Well, you're never going back. ”

The boy said unhurriedly.

"Why! - I'll be able to go back, and I'll come to my rescue. ”

"He won't, and even if he will, it's after you die."

Death –

She suddenly said a word that made me extremely sensitive.

"Dead ......?"

This character seems to have magical powers, and it is terrifying from the pronunciation to the glyph.

"In the prophecy, you will soon die."

He said something worrying lightly.

"What are you talking about...... What is Prophecy ......"

I couldn't believe it.

"I just said that. From the air to the human breath – to the world's breath, everything has air. ”

"Ahh

"The air is what actually surrounds you around you, and the human qi is the human soul. For inanimate objects, the meaning of the existence of 'qi' is a kind of record. ”

"Record?"

"There are many records of its existence in the world."

"-Ah, I see."

But I still don't understand.

"I used to wonder what the 'qi' of those inanimate objects recorded."

"And then?"

"I observed the qi of many objects, until one day, I had a whim to see the qi of [the whole world]."

"Huh-"

"Look at the world I live in, what does its 'qi' record."

"As a result—"

"As a result, what I see is the world [prophecy]."

I don't understand what he is prophesying, but listening to his expression, it seems to be something that exists in the world itself.

"Let me put it this way—the course of this world has long been set by the gods. Like the script of a computer program, there is a mysterious force above humanity that has long determined what the world will experience. The gods script these things that must be experienced, import them into the world, and run them. - And [Prophecy] is that script. ”

Nian Qishen smiled as he spoke.

"Like...... It's terrifying—there is power that has decided the course of this world......"

"The 'qi' of the world is the script of the [prophecy]. Just look at the prophecy to know what will happen in the future in this world. ”

"It feels like a prophetic emperor - do you know what I'm going to say next?"

I was given a dilemma.

"[Prophecy] is not such a nuanced thing. It does not record all the actions of each person, because in the course of the world, the ordinary actions of one or two ordinary people have no effect on the world. ”

"It's called - is the earth still spinning without you?"

"Pretty much. The things recorded in the prophecy can be seen as the [keyframes] of video editing. Even if we know in advance what the prophecy will happen and want to take action to avoid it, it will eventually happen. Keyframing is something that is bound to be experienced. ”

"Ahh

For example, if the prophecy says that you will die—then wherever you run and hide—you will die for all sorts of strange reasons. It could be from drowning, it could be from an electric shock, it could be from a heart attack—it doesn't matter which way of dying is for the world, all it needs is the key frame of the result, which you will definitely die. ”

"Ah———— terrifying. Eh, eh, eh!! So, did the prophecy say that I was going to die? ”

That's when I understood the meaning of what he had just said.
