Chapter 21: True Desire
(Ask for collection, ask for recommendation~~~)
I don't know how long it has been, but Kagura only feels that time has slowed down. The sound of the bell adding water seemed to be very distant, and she couldn't help but think that it would be better if time stopped like this, so that she didn't need to think about the Yellow Springs anymore.
"Sorry to excuse me."
Then a voice came from her ear.
It was a beautiful woman with a soft temperament, and she remembered that she seemed to have seen each other, but there were too many things before that she couldn't remember it for a while.
"It's Kagura, isn't it? I'm Qiuhua, do you remember being rescued by you before? ”
"Ahh
Kagura remembered that she had saved each other before, when she was with that terrifying teenager, and they were both Lao Huo's companions.
Kagura shuddered involuntarily when she recalled that boy, not only because of the unparalleled strength of the other party, but also because of the boy's gaze, which gave people the illusion of torturing their hearts, and even if they had not fought directly, Kagura felt terrified.
"Are you alright?"
Akika was keenly aware of Kagura's wavering in her heart.
"Hmm...... Well! ”
Kagura pulled himself together.
Ms. Qiuhua ...... How did you end up here? ”
"Just call me by name. I came to find my companion, and someone from the strategy room brought me here, but I just left because of something improvising. ”
Kagura remembered that the people in the strategy room were indeed arranging defenses at home.
"I'm so sorry, people have already shown me the way, but I'm still lost."
"Ah, that's okay. The house is really big. ”
Kagura waved her hand, perhaps because of Akika's strong affinity, Kagura gradually relaxed.
"Autumn ...... Hua, huh. Mr. Huo is in the inner room, but he is currently treating my father, and he can't come out to see you yet. I'm so sorry. ”
"It's okay, can I wait here?"
"Absolutely. I'll serve you tea. ”
Kagura said and was about to get up.
"You don't have to be so troublesome, you can't use your hands right now, right?"
Qiuhua looked at Kagura's hand, where the place that had been bitten by the Rancheon Lotus before was wrapped in bandages.
"Ahh
Kagura nodded and sat back down, and Akika sat down next to her.
Kagura looked carefully at Akika's side face.
(The man's companions have also become evil spirits...... )
Unconsciously Kagura equated Akika with herself.
(Is she in the same pain as me?) )
"That...... Your companion has become ......"
Kagura blurted out subconsciously, and then she realized what a rude thing she had said.
"I'm sorry. I ......"
"It's a matter of the four seasons, isn't it?"
Akika looked at Kagura with a calm gaze.
"Yes. Do you already know? ”
"Well, I've heard about it from the people in the countermeasures room."
"So you ......"
The next words choked in Kagura's throat and didn't come out.
"Kokagura's companions have also become evil spirits, right?"
"Hmmm......"
Kagura nodded gloomily.
"That's someone like my sister, we've always been together, and I don't know why it's like this."
Maybe it's because of the same sickness, or maybe it's because of Qiuhua's unique personality charm, Kagura talks about her affair with Huangquan.
"Should I really kill Huang Quan?"
This question Kagura is not so much asking Qiuhua as it is asking herself.
"What will Qiuhua do? What would you do if your companion became like that? ”
Kagura may have wanted an answer from Qiuhua's answer, but Qiuhua shook her head, she could understand Kagura's mood for help, but there were some things that others couldn't answer.
"What does Kagura want to do? Was it to kill that person? ”
"Killing Huangquan ...... such a thing"
She didn't dare to think about it, but as an exorcist, the responsibility that had been on her shoulders since she was a child always urged her.
"I have my own responsibilities and destiny!"
"Kokagura doesn't want to kill that person."
"No, you can't! She became an evil spirit and killed many people, which is unforgivable. ”
Only to think like this, she can only think like this.
"Well, yes. But it's unforgivable and can't be given up, right? ”
"Huh?"
"That person is an important person to Kokagura, right?"
Qiuhua gently stroked the girl's head, a girl who was younger than her own daughter, but with unimaginable responsibilities on her shoulders.
"I think she must be waiting for you."
"Wait for me?"
"Hmm. Go find her and fulfill her wish, the real wish. Don't let yourself regret it. ”
After Akika finished speaking, Kagura fell into deep thought, and fell asleep unconsciously. Akika put Kagura on her lap and watched the girl's quiet sleeping face.
Qiuhua didn't know if her words could help Kagura, after all, there was so little she could do, and what Kagura was going to do still needed to find out on her own. Whether it's the girl in front of you, or the four seasons......
"That's bad."
Qiuhua felt ashamed of himself who could only talk big, and scolded himself in a low voice.
…………
A corner of the city, in an uninhabited alley.
Huang Quan staggered and sat down on the ground.
"What's wrong...... What have I done......"
Huang Quan hugged his body.
In an instant, all kinds of previous experiences appeared in her mind, killing Isayama Yu to recapture the chaotic red lotus, killing countless exorcists along the way, killing Sakuraba in front of Jiyuki, and almost killing Kagura.
"How could it be...... How could it be...... How could it be! ”
The clear touch of killing a person came out of his hand. That's right, she killed all of them.
Huang Quan picked up the knife and swung it at his neck, but his hand stopped uncontrollably.
"Why?"
Piercing herself in the body was also like a force stopping her, making it impossible for her to do so.
"Can't you even die if you want to?"
The self that has become an evil spirit, and the self who wants to kill Kagura, now does not even have the right to choose death?
The blood-red glow of the killing stone on her forehead seemed to emit the malice that devoured everything in the world, making her almost think that she was about to be burned.
Go and hate...... Go and destroy this world......
Such a voice filled Huang Quan's mind.
"Kagura ......"
Consciousness was about to be overwhelmed by that wave of malice, but at this moment, the appearance of someone suddenly appeared in her mind.
It was a dark, terrified figure that was going to swallow a qiē.
(Kagura will be in danger!) )
Huang Quan kept struggling under the control of the killing stone.
"Killing Stone...... Didn't you say that you were acting in obedience to my **? Then I must know my wishes, my true desires. So...... Please ...... by all means."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Quan picked up the knife again.
