【024】The thread of fate that fell into the abyss

"Then I can't help it, after all, it's Sister Su Bai's order," with an American-style military salute, Yurijia's face regained a smile, but it didn't take long for the smile to freeze.

“…… By the way," Su Bai was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke, "If you go outside this time, you can try to experience the kind of life of ordinary people, away from Honkai and intrigue." ”

"W-What do you mean?"

Yu Lijia instinctively felt that there were words in Su Baihua, but she couldn't clearly analyze a reason from these words, so she had to ask questions.

"Literally," Su Bai obviously didn't have the kind of idea of confessing his intentions to her, so Yu Lijia suddenly became a little anxious.

"What the hell is it? I don't understand. ”

"It's very simple, it's just that you are rejecting this answer in your own heart," Su Bai said in a good manner, she touched her somewhat aching stomach, and then sighed softly.

"After all, we can't ...... forever"

"Then it's good to be with me forever," Yurijia suddenly interrupted Su Bai's words, "Why do you say such things......

"Eurica, I'm ......"

"Why do all the people I close to end up leaving my world one by one?"

"I ......"

"Is it God's punishment for me? Am I doing something wrong? ”

“……”

"Do you want me to ......?"

"Stop !!" Su Bai interrupted Yu Lijia's muttering loudly, it was hard to imagine that this girl would actually drill the horns of a bull in such a place.

Seeing that this little girl was about to collapse when she was crazy about to make up her own brain there, Su Bai finally couldn't sit still.

She was ready to tell a lie.

“…… What are you thinking?! Making a somewhat sharp sound, Su Bai's brows were locked together, and his eyes were staring at Yu Lijia.

Yuriga's little face was a little pale, and her expression could see that she was a little frightened, and a pair of beautiful black eyes gradually oozed flickering tears.

Su Bai sighed, couldn't help but reach out and touch Yurijia's little head, and said earnestly: "You misunderstood, it's not what you think, I mean, we can't stay here forever, right?" ”

Yulijia, who received the reply, suddenly moved, turned her head to look at Su Bai with godless eyes, and said in a heartbreaking choked voice: "Is it really just what it means?" ”

"Of course," Su Bai comforted, "You see, Honkai will be defeated by humans one day, and at that time, it will be the establishment of a new civilization, and if you don't experience this kind of life as soon as possible, you will be left behind by the times!" ”

"Is it really true?"

"It's really true!"

"Really, really, really?"

“……”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and in the face of this girl who turned black one second and became like this one second, Su Bai suddenly felt a trace of guilt in his heart.

She's definitely not going to be with Yurika all the time.

There's no way around it.

Because of this girl's fate......

Sighing, Su Bai said with a smile in a soft voice.

"Really, really, really."

"Really, really, really, really?"

"......" Su Bai's smile froze.

Hey, that's too much!

……

"Are you going to go to China to experience life?" Cocolia swept around Su Bai with a scrutinizing gaze, not knowing what this guy wanted to do with this idea.

Something is wrong, right?

Sitting on the softened obsidian throne, Su Bai's mood was inexplicably a little irritable, she frowned and looked at Cocolia and said, "Oh, you can just arrange an identity for me and Yurijia!" ”

China's entry procedures can be quite troublesome.

Sensing Su Bai's impatience, Kekolia didn't make any comments, just nodded and said, "Tomorrow morning, you can get Shenzhou's ID card and passport......

"Do you have anything else to say?"

“…… Do you want to tell Apricot about this? ”

"Don't tell her, I'll go find her later," Su Bai waved his hand impatiently, "That's it, I'll leave tomorrow when I get it." ”

Cocolia watched the throne slowly drift away, and thought to herself, how could this girl look like she had taken gunpowder today?

……

The next morning.

"Eurica? Yuriga! ”

Su Bai stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Yu Lijia, she had been in a state of mind since she said that to Yu Lijia yesterday.

"Uhhhh Yuriga, who suddenly reacted, screamed in surprise, and then scratched her forehead in embarrassment, "Hug, sorry, just ...... I'm a little distracted. ”

Su Bai shook his head and said with concern: "Are you okay?" I see you're in a bad state of mind. ”

"No, it's not a big deal, but I suddenly heard that I was going to a place like school and thought it was incredible!" Yu Lijia hurriedly shook her head in denial, and her tone inevitably revealed some panic.

After Su Bai came back from Cocolia yesterday, he clearly proposed to Yulijia that he wanted to go to a school in Shenzhou to experience his student life, but it was only Yulijia.

Su Bai said that this kind of thing is not needed, and my qualifications are enough to be a loud screaming beast!

"What's so surprising, that kind of place is much better than the battlefield, although it is in the era of the Great Collapse, but I think it should not be much different from before the Collapse, right?"

Sensing Yu Lijia's panic, Su Bai gently reached out and touched her head, comforting her with a gentle tone in an attempt to calm her mood.

Yurika shook her head vigorously and said, "That's not what I care about the most, I mean, aren't you going with me?" ”

"Me?" Su Bai stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, "Of course I will go with you, but my identity is not a student, I am your guardian!" ”

"Guardian?!"

As if feeling that his tone was not enough to express his shock, Yu Lijia's voice became very loud, causing Su Bai to squint his eyes and cover his ears with his hands.

“…… Why are you so loud all of a sudden?! Didn't you keep saying that I was a little old woman in my five hundreds? As your guardian, there shouldn't be any big problems, right? ”

"It's a big problem!" Yurika exclaimed, "We don't care about your real age, but where do you look like someone who can be my guardian?!" ”

That's right.

The body of the "little old woman in her five hundreds" named Su Bai is a cute Lori who is even smaller than Yulijia, just looking at her precise height of 1.4 meters, who would put the word "guardian" on her head?

Isn't this just an eleven or twelve-year-old little doll?

"Uh......"

Being bluntly pierced by Yu Lijia, Su Bai scratched his cheeks a little embarrassed, but he really couldn't find any words to refute.

But how could the dignified Su Bai lose his prestige? So she retorted in an unhappy tone: "No road race! No Road Race! Well, what if it were you......"

"...... with me"

"What?"

Yu Lijia quickly spit out four words to interrupt Su Bai's unfinished words, but it was precisely because of this that Su Bai didn't hear clearly what she said just now.

"I say ......" Yuriga's expression suddenly became very serious, but there was a hint of hope in the seriousness.

Probably won't be rejected, right? Because Sister Su Bai is a very gentle person.

Thinking like this, she took a deep breath, as if she had sucked all the air of the world into her lungs, and then spit it all out again, before she said tremblingly:

“…… Is it okay to go to school with me? ”

The delicate voice could not hide the trembling, but it was better to say that Yuriga's tone and mood were more like pleading, and her black eyes seemed to be in the sand, and her eyes slowly turned red.

Now, okay?

Although a few seconds had passed, the girl's eyes seemed to have been repeating the question, and those pitiful little eyes like small animals made Su Bai unable to refuse ruthlessly.

It's so cute, so pitiful, like a bullied little seal, how can you refuse this cute request posture?

But......

"What if I don't say yes?" Su Bai asked tentatively, because she felt that if she refused directly, Yu Lijia would definitely do something she didn't want to see.

After all, that fate......

"I'll die for you!" Juliga's eyes widened and she looked angry, but the grinning that looked like a tiger was a demonstration was cute.

Su Bai couldn't help but pat her head, sighed secretly, and then said with a smile: "I'm really afraid of you, let's go together!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Hearing this, Yu Lijia's expression softened, but she seemed to be afraid that Su Bai would regret it, so she stretched out her small right hand, and her slender little fingers were cocked.

"Na, let's pull the hook!"

"Retractor?" Su Bai didn't understand what kind of setting this was.

"That's right, pull the hook, if after the hook, if anyone regrets it, who will become a puppy!"

"Well, alright."

nodded, although he had promised the other party before, Su Bai was still a little overwhelmed by some thoughts in his heart. Yet despite this, she still stretched out her little white hand.

The light from outside slowly crept in along the windowsill, and the soft sunlight seemed to produce golden bubbles in her eyes, and in the circle of colorful folded halos, Yurika had a smile on her face, like a dustless angel.

Why? Su Bai had a question in his heart.

The two tiny fingers slowly bent and hooked together, swaying gently, like a wandering boat adrift looking for their way home, and then the two girls imprinted their thumbs together......

Why does it have to be her? At the same time, Su Bai's doubts were getting bigger and bigger.

Like the most beautiful fairy tale, those beautiful girls will eventually meet, for a promise when they were once young, even if it is the end of the world, even if it is a human being.

Isn't that a little too cruel? Thinking like this, Su Bai secretly left an empty sigh in his heart.

No, it should be said that it is cruel to put it on anyone.

Some dazzling light passed through the horizon, quietly crossed the layers of air barriers, and let the shape of the heart formed by the two little hands turn into shadows and fall on the bed, and the two petite and beautiful figures became the most beautiful eternity.

Then Su Bai, who was about to "take the oath", was suddenly stunned.

She looked up suspiciously, looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, turned her head to look at the things in the house, and even closed her eyes to use the wind to sense everything around her.

No.

"What's wrong?" Eurica asked.

"It's nothing, I'm delusional," Su Bai smiled, raising his hand and pretending to rub his temples.

Yurijia looked a little worried, and she asked with concern, "Is there a big deal?" Do you need to postpone your trip to China? ”

"It's okay, it's not in the way," Su Bai waved his hand, glanced around without a trace, and sighed in his heart.

I can't find it.

The sad gaze that had been staring at her just now, that familiar and unfamiliar sadness, was like a stormy wave. But now it's all gone, like, it never was......

"The hook is not allowed to change for a hundred years, what has changed is the puppy!"

When the two of them said this, they were wrapped in their different emotions, Yu Lijia was pure happy, while Su Bai's was complex and difficult to guess.

Say she's happy? Of course. Sad? Nor deny it.

But even so, she couldn't have imagined that this agreement had just been promised, and before she could think about how to end it, it would be suddenly postponed.

And this postponement is many, many years.

"Uh......"

As soon as the two little fingers parted, Su Bai frowned, and there was a hint of imperceptible danger in his good-looking pupils, as if a giant dragon had been violated by someone who had violated his territory.

"What's wrong?" Yurika asked worriedly.

"It's the apricot, there's a problem with the apricot, and it's, it's not a big problem."

Su Bai stood up suddenly, the two of them were sitting cross-legged on the bed and saying those words before, but now, after Su Bai stood up, he could clearly sense that the aura on her body had changed.

If Fang is the warm spring, then now, it is the cold snow of the Arctic, or the invincible blade of the strongest swordsman.

"I'm sorry, Yurijia, the promise I just made will only be fulfilled after I come back," Su Bai rubbed Yurijia's hair.

"It's okay, it's okay," Yuriga's expression was a little lost, but she cheered up and said, "Go and help Xing, it seems urgent to see your appearance, she needs you more now!" ”

"Okay, but ......" didn't shirk it, and directly agreed, but added a twist of words.

"But?" Yurika tilted her head in confusion.

Su Bai suddenly squatted down, stretched out his hands and pinched her shoulders, a pair of magnificent golden pupils looked directly at her, and then said earnestly: "Before I come back, don't go anywhere, don't listen to anyone." ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"It's an order."

"Good!" The girl immediately responded, and Su Bai couldn't help but smile with her sudden serious expression, but Su Bai seemed to think of something again, so she instructed again:

"Remember, anyone, anywhere, is here waiting for me to come back, rest assured, I won't be back soon, and I will definitely be back."

"Uh-huh, I'll wait for you."

Like a wife looking forward to her husband's return, Yu Lijia showed a sweet smile, nodded obediently, and then held Su Bai's hand: "You must also do what you say, otherwise you will become a puppy." ”

"I will definitely come back," looking at the girl's warm smile, Su Bai also showed a healing expression, and said the words like a distant husband again, Su Bai's figure slowly became blurred.

"Be sure to come back, I'll be waiting for you."

A warm current crossed her heart, as someone said this in a gentle voice behind her.

But another faint but familiar voice drifted softly in his ear, and the voice said eagerly, "Don't, don't."

Su Bai, who heard the voice, suddenly looked back and saw darkness.

Because in the blink of an eye, the blood-colored lotus flower wrapped Su Bai's body, and it ossified and faded at an extremely fast speed, turning into a pale gray stone carving.

A fresh breeze blew, with a blade-sharp cold. The stone sculpture slowly shattered, then turned into a little silver-white starlight, and disappeared.

What is left is the whole world that has fallen silent.

……

……

Forever...... Together?

Impossible.

Because that's Yuriga's fate.

Because Su Bai ...... yesterday I saw it by chance, saw her inextricable life, and saw the thread of fate that spread to the whole world and involved all things in the world.

That's because the spiritual power and its own law body are too strong and occasionally manifests a kind of "predicting fate" ability, the ability to unconsciously force a connection with fate through a strong spirit.

And the point where those threads of fate converge is Eurica itself.

Su Bai just stood in Yurijia's fate world, alone, and in the midst of everything in the world, and the connection with Yurijia was as deep as a marionette.

The people most closely connected by the thread of fate are generally close friends, parents, lovers, or enemies who accompany them for life.

This is a fetter and a shackle.

But Su Bai, who is the closest contact, can't stay by Yurijia's side all the time, or everyone can't, Yurijia is destined to be lonely.

Because in that incomparably vast world of fate, there was a huge abyss between Su Bai and Yu Lijia, which was bottomless, releasing the breath of fear.

Although Su Bai will try her best to get close to Yu Lijia, she can only take one step at a time, because she has to think hard about every step.

After all, Su Bai is invincible, not omnipotent.

And Su Bai knew that people who did not have complete control over the law of fate wanted to forcibly break fate, and the probability of success was infinitely close to zero.

Because the law of fate is the strangest of all the laws.

In that Yuriga's world of fate, the two sides of the abyss are two completely different worlds. It is not too much to say that there is heaven on one side and hell on the other, but it is very apt.

Su Bai here is standing in the light, or rather, everyone is in the light. And over there, Yuriga was alone, surrounded by endless darkness.

…… If light and darkness stay together, one day one of them will surely be destroyed.

For example, Yuriga's father, such as Yurijia's mother.

Light and darkness, the one that is easily destroyed will be destroyed, just as the light dispels the darkness and the darkness devours the light.

And Su Bai happened to be the one who could never be destroyed.
