Chapter 26: A Wish Under the Lights of a Thousand Lights
Sharp, thick vines gathered together and galloped away.
Just as it was about to penetrate Ah Qi's body, a faint green light suddenly flashed!
Almost instantly, the figure of Ai Lei in the shade of the tree disappeared at some point, but came to Ah Qi's body. Hit the vine with a fatal blow and stop it with his own body!
This scene also made Rin completely stunned.
Isn't Elle already losing her will, how could she be?
And at the same moment, there was also the dryad that was about to be fully formed.
“…… Stop. Eyley's soft voice came slowly.
It was her own voice, and it was her will and body.
The vines slowly pulled out of Eyrey's body, carrying a dark green viscous slurry.
The liquid spilled all over the ground, and the vines, and the objects that looked like plant roots, began to shrink and wither. And Ai Lei, who was originally a body with countless spiritual powers, will soon die.
"Can the envoy over there help me destroy this place?" Eyre was almost pleading.
But that face changed wildly at this moment, from gentle Elle, to distorted, from distorted to complex expressions, as well as anger and sadness.
At this moment, she is like a TV that keeps changing channels in the middle of the night, damaging the most core part, and confusing, fighting for the ownership of this body.
Rin nodded at Talos.
After comprehending this, he saw Talos unsheath his sword and hurried to the tree. Without a moment's hesitation, a long knife pierced through the center of the tree!
‘…… Thump. ’
It was like a heartbeat, coming from the blade that went straight into the trunk of the tree.
Talos drew his knife, and a few drops of liquid flowed down the blade, like blood, but not bright red.
It just gives people a strange visual and tactile impact.
The vines blocking the road gradually withered and disappeared.
When they finally left the space and returned to the long passage on the one hundred and eighth floor, they found that the marquee on the four walls had disappeared.
And those candle flames that were originally dancing have also been extinguished at this moment.
The tree had withered, and there was no power to sustain the space. So the whole space is like a melting ice wall at this time, collapsing and disintegrating.
Eyrey's distorted face finally calmed down as the tree withered.
It was originally nothing more than an inconspicuous, budding tree spirit. Floating out of nowhere, the leaves take root, and they are unexpectedly attracted by the huge obsession and hatred that Elle had before he died.
Because of this, he attached himself to the body of Eyrey, but he didn't expect it to take root and sprout.
It needs strength, it needs to devour more spirits to grow itself.
But the spirit of the tree who inherited that and obsession had his own ideas.
So the spirit of the tree began to change, wanting more spirits to enrich itself. But as it gained more from Ah Qi, the idea of independent thinking gradually overcame Ey's original consciousness.
Now it was only a few steps away from possessing a body that could move flexibly, without being trapped in the land and in a fantasy.
Unexpectedly, Ai Lei still had the last trace of his will, and he actually regained control of his body and mind in order to protect Ah Qi.
This ultimately fell short.
But in fact, the most unfortunate thing for this tree spirit was probably to meet Rin and Talos.
One is too persistent, the other is too difficult.
If it weren't for Rin Rin falling into the cave and seeing everything narrated by the marquee of the memories of the two, I'm afraid that this illusion created by the tree spirit would have stayed here forever, and continued to absorb spiritual power in its own way and raise itself.
When the darkness had completely faded, there was a faint white light on the horizon.
Rin sat on the ground, looking at the faint light in the sky with some distraction, "Talos, do you still have the strength?" ”
She seemed to be talking to herself, but she seemed to be thinking.
Talos didn't speak, but as he looked at Rinrin, he suddenly felt that something was not right.
And the more I looked at her, the more my eyebrows tightened on the face that was originally expressionless about anything.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he said to Rinrin, "If there is anything you want me to do, it's just that you can stand up first." ”
Rin Rin is a little impatient, she is already tired, how can she let this guy do something and toss her first?
Forget it, she doesn't have the extra energy to worry about Talos now anyway. simply followed his request, supported the trunk of the tree beside him, and stood up with difficulty.
"Okay, what are you going to do?"
"Well, wait a minute."
As he spoke, Talos got a piece of clothing from somewhere, covered all of Rinrin's exposed lower abdomen, and tied it behind her with his sleeves.
"Alright, now you can say it." Talos looked at Rin for a moment and nodded in satisfaction.
…… What does this mean?
The ideology of armed dolls is so conservative? Or was he worried that he was catching a cold with his stomach exposed?
The dignified face was puzzled, but it was full of helplessness.
After that, I don't know what she said in Talos's ear, but Talos listened and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Get rid of the appearance of a obedient puppy waiting for the owner's orders.
No, no, it's more appropriate to be a big dog who is not very obedient only occasionally, and has more and more ideas and tempers of his own.
After Talos left, Rin dragged his injured body in the direction of Elle.
"Now what are you going to do?" She glanced at Ah Qi, who had not woken up not far away, and asked indifferently.
"There's not much I can do."
Airey smiled wryly, she knew that she was about to disappear, and she was still able to maintain her form for the time being, but it was only because the spiritual power gathered by the tree had not been completely exhausted.
"Actually, I don't hate those people that much, it's just that I'm a little unwilling. Unwilling to do nothing, before he had time to say anything, he ......" Eiley raised his hand and looked at his increasingly transparent body.
"yes, I understand." Rin Rin looked at the whiteness of the fish belly gradually rising in the sky, and didn't know if he was answering Elle or remembering something.
As the two were talking, they saw Ah Qi suddenly let out a muffled snort like a small animal.
"Ah Qi!"
Elle hurried over, but somehow suddenly blushed.
And Rin Rin also found out at this time that the clothes on Ah Qi's body were stripped naked at some point. And the clothes that were stripped off are now around his waist.
Rin clenched her fists and shouted indignantly, "Talos!" ”
“…… Ahh ”
Not far from the forest, in the town of Winterman, Talos, who was running around to carry out the task that Rin had ordered, let out a loud sneeze.
"I thought I'd never see you again......" he hugged Eyrey, as if the girl in front of him would slip out of his hand if he let go of his hand.
Those originally dark eyes, at this moment, seemed to be injected into the galaxy of the night, dazzling and flashing, but there were big tears flowing down.
Ai Lei stroked her soft head, "I told you not to drink, don't start a fire casually, what if you burn the forest." ”
said things that often criticized it on weekdays, but Ah Qi didn't care.
If she can, if she wants, even if she beats it, kills it, and criticizes it like this for the rest of her life, she is willing.
Originally, Ah Qi was not an offensive demon spirit clan, but this special wine has been passed down from generation to generation, in order to use the spiritual power of fire to defend himself against the enemy.
"I don't drink it, and I don't need it."
At this moment, Ah Qi was like a child, stuck in Ai Lei's arms and unwilling to move.
I thought that the relationship between the two might be that Ah Qi, who had a hundred years of spiritual power, was relatively strong. Now it seems that Airey is its reliance and sustenance.
"Maybe, no......" Eyre said as he almost endured the pain.
She pushed Ah Qi away from her arms and rubbed the place above its head where its ears were hidden.
The two ears flicked keenly under her touch.
The feel is still so soft and cute. It seems that as long as you touch it, all the troubles seem less important.
"I know that in the days before and in the future, the hopeless pain and loneliness in my absence made you feel irrepressible......"
Elle just spoke quietly, as if comforting a wounded child, even a little louder than the other person might find it difficult to accept.
"But it's not just you, I'm too. So it doesn't matter, everything will pass. And I believe that you will not be alone in the future. ”
As she spoke, her gaze inadvertently swept over Rinrin.
But Rin was already tired and paralyzed to the side, and didn't notice Elle's eyes just now.
Moreover, his family's contract spirit also casually picked off Ah Qi's clothes, how embarrassed he was to meet their eyes.
"But I didn't even get the last fireworks you wanted to see." Ah Qi lowered his head, his eyes full of self-blame. In fact, it has been haunted by this matter for a long time.
Because for it, this was almost Isley's last wish.
But what Ah Qi didn't know was that the fireworks themselves weren't that important. The important thing is that Eyre just wants to be with it at the end of his life.
Under the fireworks of the 'nightingale', which has always been known as holy, I made a wish that I knew would not come true, but I didn't want to be separated.
But at this moment, not far from the corner of the sky, countless lights rose leisurely.
Thousands of lights illuminated almost the sky, the river, and the city under the trees......
Thousands of lights flew across the endless night sky, like sparks shining in the sky. Each candle is a warm and warm light, lighting up more than just the silent night in the forest. And Ah Qi and Elle's hearts.
Perhaps the light of the flying fire is not as gorgeous as the nightingale, nor as precious as the nightingale.
But perhaps that's enough.
Elle and Ah Qi just snuggled up to each other as before, watching the sparks intertwined in the night sky.
Even if nothing is being said, they know it. Some people, some things, once they enter the heart, will not leave or change......
"I'm the one who likes Ah Qi the most." Elle suddenly laughed, but under that smile, there was indeed a pout in the corner of his eye, a tear that had not fallen for a long time.
"Well, I like ...... the most, too"
Before he finished speaking, Ah Qi felt that the hand he had been holding suddenly became empty.
It jerked back, only to see Elle, who had faded away in front of him like fireflies. And the last smile she left, as if satisfied.
Only this time, Ah Qi was not crying. Because it knows that everything has long been impossible to change, and it will be useless to cling to that obsession by itself.
Rin Rin looked at the lights that were gradually flying away in the sky, and the morning light that had already risen, and said to herself, "Talos's ability to do things can be." ”
The dawn also seems to indicate that all the gloom has passed.
She got up and prepared to leave, now that the matter of this anime town has been settled, it is time for her to go back and make a business. By the way, I also want the people in the town to compensate her for the medical expenses of her injuries.
The little abacus in her heart was playing, and she was still looking at the sky in a daze, but she suddenly pounced on her!
