Zero chapter opens.

Don't speak, it's better to hug to the end than words

——

The sky was covered with dust and was generally gloomy, and now it was winter, and it was dark early, and the pedestrians on the street were hurrying with their heads down. The cherry blossom-filled streets that I used to visit in spring are now empty. The little girl walks on the side of this almost deserted cherry blossom street, swaying.

Just know what you're looking for, and ...... It's a very, very, very important thing that was already there, just gone...... And just like that, it disappeared. The little girl has a cute face.

Suddenly, a pair of high heels came into the sight of the little girl, and the little girl looked over, and the young and beautiful woman stood in front of her with a decent smile on her face, and asked, "Are you called Zero?" ”

What a strange person, and she's not called that.

The little girl felt very strange in her heart, and twisted her body to the side, ignoring the woman's question. The woman was slightly stunned, and also followed the little girl's movements, followed her and took a step, and said, "I just want to confirm, what are you hiding?" ”

For those who don't like it, it comes from instinctive actions.

Zero glanced at the woman lightly, but turned over, and the further inside, the cherry blossoms partially disappeared in the darkness. Until they are out of sight. The woman was in a hurry, and grabbed Zero's arm, and suddenly there was a sizzling sound in the air, and a terrible scream that tore through the sky.

The corpse turned into a puddle of water, muddy. Zero suddenly let out an extremely piercing laugh, crouched down, and said with a smile: "It's really muddy...... Sure enough, that's why I don't like you...... It's dirty......"

Zero got up and walked away.

"Sister, I'm looking for you."

——

The two of them who entered Thousand Water City walked on the streets covered with cherry blossoms, but all the cherry blossoms on the side of the street withered and died. Tang Xiaoyi touched his smooth chin a little strangely and said, "Strange...... Why is there no one in this city? ”

Zhi Ming glanced at the young man lightly, and only said, "Let's look for it again." ”

"Find? …… Are you sure? Can you find it? Tang Xiaoyi said, "I just came here to find one person and what a person told me, although it would be better to find the aborigines here...... But, what a hassle...... Why don't you go and find it? ”

“…… No! Yes! ”

Tang Xiaoyi, who was cruelly refused, looked sad.

Suddenly, there was the sound of clothes being blown by the wind. Tang Xiaoyi's face froze, and he grabbed Zhiming's collar to chase after the place where the voice sounded. The owner of the clothes seemed to have noticed Tang Xiaoyi's movements, and his voice became louder.

"Want to run?" At this moment, Tang Xiaoyi's face was very serious, like a Shura who had crawled out of hell, and suddenly, the air was filled with the smell of sandalwood, with a dangerous and fatal temptation, Zhi Ming only saw a flash of cold light in front of him, and the sound of tearing clothes.

"I can't run anymore, right, I'm seriously injured and still running? Do you think you have "nine lives"? Tang Xiaoyi put down Zhiming, walked into the darkness, gently pushed Zhiming, and hinted wildly with his eyes. Zhi Ming was silent for a while, picked up the prophetic star that glowed in his palm and illuminated Tang Xiaoyi, and by the way, gave Tang Xiaoyi a chance to pretend to be forced.

I saw who was coming.

It was a girl, dressed in a black cloak, shivering under the wide black cloak, and bright and pungent blood continued to flow out from under the black cloak, gradually staining the ground red. The lip flap was bitten red, almost bitten, his face was pale and terrible, and a pair of purple eyes looked coldly at the gray sky, not moving.

Tang Xiaoyi was puzzled for a while and stepped forward.

Suddenly, there was a sound that pierced the air.

Looking up, a huge scythe actually tried to split him in half! And the girl with the sickle is the strange uncle...... Phew, it's a strange aunt...... It's not right, it's that girl anyway. The purple eyes flashed with absolute coldness and murderous intent, even if it looked so weak, but it was so strong...... The large scythe, also effortlessly.

"I'm ...... What are you doing! Stop, stop, stop—" Tang Xiaoyi had to step aside, vigilantly looking at the girl who might fall down at any moment, and said. Zhi Ming sighed softly, grabbed Tang Xiaoyi's back collar, and pulled it, Tang Xiaoyi was thrown directly behind Zhi Ming.

Zhiming blocked in front of Tang Xiaoyi, the wind blew Zhiming's high-waisted skirt, the belt tied around the waist hung down gently, the brown hair fluttered in the wind, and the wide sleeves blocked in front of Tang Xiaoyi, looking at the seriously injured but still strong girl.

"Xingchen ......" The hoarse voice is not unpleasant, but it is not very comfortable to listen to, and the emotions in the purple eyes hidden in the darkness are surging, but the hand holding the sickle still does not let go, "I advise you to get out of the way, don't stop me." ”

With that, he took a step forward towards Zhiming.

“…… Well, that's not going to work. Zhiming smiled, "This person saved my life, so I have to protect him." Whoever it is, I have to fight for his "wish", whether it is killing or saving, this is my mission. ”

The girl raised her emaciated chin slightly and said, "...... Sure enough, no matter how much time has passed, do you Xingchen still value "promise" like this? Is...... Bringing a dangerous person to Thousand Waters City, you really have such a big heart. I think you should know that the boy behind him is a "pioneer", right? ”

After that, he waved it casually, and the oncoming wind blew Tang Xiaoyi's hair into a chicken nest.

"Of course I know, God or not, this is my mission that I must accomplish." Zhi Mingdao.

“…… I don't want to talk nonsense with you, if you start a war, even if I am seriously injured, it is more than enough to kill you a small star......" The girl narrowed her eyes, and slashed at the scythe, Zhiming did not dodge, and quickly condensed a star in her hand and threw it over.

The moment it touched the girl, it exploded, the smoke cleared, and the girl who was hit still didn't have anything.

"Tsk, tricky." The girl said in disgust, "Forget it, the next time I meet you, it will be when you die-"

After that, the girl frantically came towards Zhiming, Zhiming was ready, but the moment the girl touched Zhiming, her body turned into countless small points of light, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

"She's not dead, is she?" Tang Xiaoyi, who was hiding behind Zhiming, asked.

Zhiming nodded: "Yes, she won't die, at least, not now." Because, the star map told me that I must let her live. ”

"I'm so curious—" Tang Xiaoyi stood in front of Zhi Ming, "If you had to choose one of the 'Star Chart' and 'Promise', would you choose?" ”

"The stars have emotions, too." Zhi Ming smiled, "It's 'humans' who give emotions to other creatures, so other creatures give humans rewards. But...... As the world changes, so do human emotions. Lots and lots of emotions are derived. ”

"That's it, how about we go and find out the news first?" The boy led the stars into the darkness.

In the withered, cherry blossom-strewn street, a little girl appeared and said, "I smell it...... Smelled my sister's scent. ”
