Chapter 19: The End of Darkness

2

On December 24th, I returned to the 'present world', the roof of my house.

I couldn't help but be dumbfounded when I saw the scene in front of me.

It was already morning, but the central part of Chisugi City was pitch black, not so much pitch as darkness gathered around that place.

I immediately ran downstairs like a demon.

The streets are bustling with people, taxis are dotted through the alleys, and women walking along the streets carrying plastic bags full of vegetables and meat. You can see a young man wearing headphones and wearing a trendy outfit. A couple dressed as a couple walking down the street holding hands can be seen.

Everything is so normal.

All are indifferent to the 'darkness' in the distance.

I got goosebumps all over my body. Stop a couple walking past me.

"Sorry, that. Have you noticed anything strange over there? ”

I pointed to the west and asked a question that sounded strange, but if it were the authorities, it would have understood.

“……”

The couple looked at each other with doubts on their faces, and I was sure they couldn't see it by looking at them.

"It's okay, I'm sorry."

There's no need to waste time here. I went back to the garage and got on my bike, only to realize that I didn't have a bag with me.

I ran upstairs and realized I didn't even have the keys with me.

Thankfully, it didn't close.

In less than a minute, I went upstairs to get my bag and keys and then rushed downstairs.

Start the tram, put on a black hard hat and head west as fast as you can.

It's cold! I knew I should have brought gloves on just now.

Moving forward at high speed against the wind, my hands gradually lost sensation. I grabbed the handle even harder.

That direction should be in the center of Chisugi City.

I took a detour onto Central Boulevard.

Something black, something darker than night, constantly hovers in the sky and then sinks and gathers into a ball. What the hell is that. There is no black light in the world, but this kind of thing is as dazzling as light, of course, in a negative sense.

I think of it as a "black light", and the closer I get to the "black light", the more anxious I feel. What it's like. It's like sitting by the fire in winter, only the knees and calves are hot, and the rest of the place is extremely cold. This extreme imbalance makes me feel very uncomfortable.

All kinds of distracting thoughts are constantly appearing in my head.

Carefully recalling and analysing these distractions – they all seem to point to one emotion, and that is 'anger'.

The closer you get to the 'black light', the stronger the anger becomes.

It seems that this is indeed caused by the 'God of Wrath'.

But why can't anyone else see it?

There are still a lot of questions, and in all the events that have happened, I have always gotten very few clues, and I can only rely on vague feelings to reason, and I am really grateful that I have been able to get this far.

I couldn't be more angry.

I started to get angry with the 'God of Joy'. She was the fault of what happened to me, and without her, I would still be living my normal high school life. I can still continue to get along with Lianwen.

I started to get angry with Lily of the Valley, knowing a lot of things, but I deliberately put it off until now.

I started to get angry with Qiao Mu, and it would have been nice if I hadn't agreed to him at the time.

I started to get angry with the homeroom teacher at the elementary school, and I thought she was a big cause of Koinwen's injury.

Thinking of the spring outing at that time, and thinking of Yanzheng's face, I was very angry, he must have deliberately let go of Lianwen.

I started to get angry at myself for why I didn't protect my love letter at the time of the bombing.

I'm starting to ...... I think...... I'm right...... Very angry......

Oops, I realized that my emotions were spiraling out of control. I don't know how long I'll be able to keep my sanity like this, and I bite my lip, hoping to turn all my anger into anger at myself.

As fast as I could, I finally approached the source of the 'black light', an alley not far south of Central Boulevard, surrounded by residential buildings that looked a little older.

The closer you get to the 'black light', the fewer pedestrians there are on the road, what is the reason for this? I don't really understand.

When we reached the front of 'Black Light', there were no pedestrians on the road.

But I saw a man, walking alone towards the black light. She wasn't fast, but she was ahead of me, reaching the gathering place of the 'Black Light' before I did.

"Lianwen!"

Because of the 'black light', the other lights around me became distorted, and I couldn't see the buildings and objects in the vicinity clearly, and I could only see a vague back of the person who was moving forward, but I could be sure that it must be a love text.

She didn't respond to me, I couldn't see the road ahead at all, the black asphalt and the black light blended together, and the road seemed to become winding and winding. I slammed the brakes and almost fell. So he abandoned the car and ran, running forward by feeling.

It's like drinking two bottles of vodka and the world is spinning, and the route I'm running must not be in a straight line.

["This level of 'anger' can be resolved by myself. ”】

The sound I hadn't heard for two weeks came to my eardrums again. This familiar feeling, if it is normal, must have burst into tears.

As the sound ended, the 'black light' in the field of vision also disappeared. Just like defeating the big boss in the game, the realm that belongs to the boss collapses instantly.

The light favored the land again, and the trace of the 'black light' no longer existed, and I finally saw the figure of Lianwen clearly.

She slowly turned around and looked directly at me.

No, the 'black light' didn't go away.

I'm aware of the problem.

I gritted my teeth and kicked my eyes.

[The black light, surrounding the love text, looks like a layer of fog. 】

Lianwen's expression was extremely serious and dignified.

"Love ......"

Seeing her appearance, I didn't know how to speak for a while.

"I'm sorry."

Lianwen said with a little sadness.

“……”

The black smoke on her body was getting more and more, and the light from the smoke made me feel irritated.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Lianwen stood less than 15 meters away from me and bowed deeply to me.

"No, it's not."

I tried to argue it.

"I know. The gods have cursed me. ”

She said slowly.

“……”

I was speechless, and the anger in my heart seemed to be about to erupt. This must be the plan of the 'God of Wrath'. Use his emotions to confront him, which is exactly what he wants.

["My emotions will be concretized, just like they were just now."] Especially the emotions of anger, as soon as I am 'angry', my emotions will turn into black power and manifest in this city. ”

“……”

I didn't know about it.

"It should have started on December 7th, and from that day on, Qinghe you will be different from usual. It's not the same, it's better to say that it's become more like what you are. ”

“……”

Hearing her say, I felt something strange.

"I'm sorry, but I stalked 'you' on the night of the 10th and was discovered by 'you'. I then asked the question directly. ”

"How did 'I' answer?"

"You admit it. You've explained everything to me, including periodically entering a strange world. ”

It turned out that 'my will' had already explained the situation to her, which was not very surprising to me. After all, it's my will.

You also say that 'you' come from a world that has been destroyed by the 'God of Wrath.' ”

However, what Lianwen said next was beyond my imagination.

"In that world, the 'God of Wrath' has endowed many humans with special abilities, giving birth to a series of human beings with superpowers, such as the 'God of Destruction', the 'God of Life', and the 'God of Possession'. Various triggers caused humans to start killing each other until they were completely extinct. You are the last remaining human in that world. ”

“……”

"During the war, the 'God of Life' who stood on the side of good protected the original appearance of Chisugi City, and the opposing 'Attachment God' moved all the residents of the city outside the city. Later, the whole world was destroyed by the God of Destruction. Only those who did not succeed in the transfer survived in Qianshan City. ”

“……”

In other words, in the 'Shadow World', except for Qianshan City, the rest of the world is in a miserable situation.

[This is impossible. 】

[The 'God of Joy' says that the 'Shadow World' is a mirror-faced void world she created. 】

This is unlikely to be the case.

If what 'I' says is true, then 'I' is not 'my will', but other parallel worlds, beings alongside me.

[In the end, who is lying?] 】
