The flat tone is slightly melancholy and reluctant, but there is a decisive relief and relaxation in the deepest part.

This sentence is not a command, nor is it a decision to make anything, but a faint statement of an imminent, irreversible and unchangeable established fact.

It's like a prophetic or legendary prophet who has insight into what seems to happen next by accident by watching the future cause and effect of fate. Or it is more like a big director who says what scenes and plots to be filmed next, what and what they are, and other actors, dragon sets, lighting engineers, prop masters and others can only obediently follow his instructions, and it is impossible to disobey him.

And after these words fell, the room fell silent for a while.

After thinking for a moment, "It's time to put an end to this-" The meaning of the sentence, Kikyo nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what she had determined from it or what she had decided because of it. Anyway, she got up lightly and walked out the door, but when she walked out of the door, she turned back and curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

"You said before that the lord of Imagawa is equivalent to the continuation of your existence, but he has a completely self-willed and absolutely independent reason...... In this case, isn't it the same relationship between Naraku and his clones? ”

"......" The corners of the monster's mouth twitched, looking at the shallow smile of the witch, and couldn't help but see a row of black lines on his forehead, "Although it is indeed similar in theory, why use such an analogy?" ”

With a gentle flick of his long hair, Kikyo didn't say anything more, but turned around and went out and gently closed the door.

“……”

Glancing at the file left by the shrine maiden on the ground next to him, Pei Chen raised his eyebrows, he didn't think that Kikyo was the kind of person who liked to throw things around, which meant that she seemed to be just going out for a while and would be back soon. But why, I always feel that Kikyo's performance just now is a little weird.

No, it's not just the performance, it's always been like this......

It seems that the blackened characteristics have always remained in the body of the witch.,It's just very, very deep.,It seems that the once kind and gentle bellflower.,More or less dyed with a trace of belly black.。 Although this made her feel more vivid and flesh-and-blood, more like a normal girl, Pei Chen felt a little numb on her scalp.

He always felt that the witch might turn black at any time, and then directly give himself a demon-breaking arrow or want to drag himself to hell with him...... Although neither the former nor the latter has any effect on Him.

However, just like an ordinary person, even if he is a black belt of nine dans, and his girlfriend is just a weak woman who is powerless, when he sees his girlfriend raising a firewood knife, he probably still feels weak in his heart, right? - Pei Chen was not very willing to face the power of the firewood knife, but he looked at the black straight girl who was sleeping on his knees, and suddenly felt that his small boat would sink at any time.

"Okay, Kikyo seems to have accepted it, and now it's up to Yoshi-won's thoughts......"

The monster reached out and stroked a strand of loose black hair around the girl's ear, and muttered to himself.

"But I remember that she and Kikyo seemed to have a good relationship before, so I guess ...... Nothing is wrong, right? …… Should. ”

In the end, as if he himself was a little uncertain, he repeated a certain word twice in succession. - The word 'should' denotes speculation, referring to the uncertainty of the person's perception of the phenomenon or the lack of confidence in oneself.

……

……

Imagawa Yoshimoto woke up much earlier than Pei Chen expected.

When Pei Chen couldn't help but think about it, he heard the door creak open, and it seemed that the witch who had just finished something walked in from the outside very naturally, and the monster looked at her and wanted to see where there was a firewood knife or something like that, but it wasn't until Kikyo Shi Shiran sat down in his original position again, and he didn't see anything wrong.

It seems that there is no problem for the time being.,Kikyo shouldn't have mastered the murderous ability of the 'four-dimensional skirt'.,The style of painting doesn't match.。

But what exactly was she doing when she just went out?

Pei Chen didn't spy on other people's interests and hobbies all day long, and although the bellflower was one step slower than the lord of the country, it was indeed making rapid progress in the past half a year, and he had already touched the forbidden realm. It's just that she has never liked to take risks, so she chose to cultivate her spiritual power little by little, and pursued a natural breakthrough into that realm, so she entered the realm very slowly-

So much so that the Lord of the Kingdom, whose heart was beating with the heart of the Supreme Crebeing beating in his body and flowing with the blood of an eight-star god, took the lead.

Although Miko-sama doesn't seem to care too much about this, Kikyo still feels a little concerned when she discovers that Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was once powerless, has taken a step ahead of her and obtained the life level and existence power of the forbidden realm.

- In addition to needing the help of his own strength in the beginning, the youkai has been protecting itself all the time. Slowly, I got used to this situation, until the moment when the other party had completely lost any connection with mortal things from the form of existence to the spiritual structure, and I was actually no longer able to help him in any way.

can only try not to lag behind, or choose to let yourself also enter the realm that the world has begun to fear, and master the power of inhuman in the true sense......

So Kikyo chose the latter without any hesitation.

Although she has not yet broken through the realm and completed the promotion, she has finally touched the realm of that level. Therefore, the form of existence is more or less with some forbidden characteristics, and these characteristics are not some new abilities obtained by promotion, but a certain state that is more similar to existence itself-

It's like the general doppelganger technique is a skill, which needs to be cultivated, used, and maintained...... However, Pei Chen's current multiple existence is a manifestation of his own state, just like the natural nature of human beings having body temperature under normal circumstances, and it is not a skill. He does not need a doppelganger, He is inherently continuum with multiple time and space, and exists in infinite dimensions and infinite dimensions at the same time.

The shrine maiden's forbidden traits are more interesting, perhaps because she once had no real physical-physical bondage and a freer soul than when she was alive. Such an experience, such an encounter, such an obsession and the essence of her heart are all one of the reasons, so her forbidden characteristic is that she completely separates the concept of self and reality, does not enter heaven, does not fall into hell.

- This means that you are almost completely independent of the world, and you can withdraw from anything at any time if you want to, and stay out of the vortex of cause and effect, and not be involved in all troubles.

Even if Pei Chen didn't watch directly, as long as she wasn't by her side, it would be difficult to determine what she had done, at most, it was just to confirm whether the aura was normal or fluctuating......

That's why the yokai was a little worried that the shrine maiden was going out to get a hatchet.

However, Kikyo didn't seem to have the will to explain, just glanced at Pei Chen to himself, then stood up again, slowly walked to the other side of the room, and began to brew tea. And at this time, I happened to hear a low hum, and the monster subconsciously lowered his head, and then saw the eyes of the black girl in his arms slowly opened.

“……”

“……”

The two of them stared at each other like this, and after a long while, the long eyelashes of the lord moved slightly, and he looked away a little unnaturally. She seemed to be unusually annoyed and dissatisfied, with an embarrassed blush on her white and tender little face, showing a cute expression.

She muttered and complained in a low voice: "When do you want to see it, you guy, don't hurry up and help me up, I'm your head of the family......"

"No, no, no, Yiyuan, you are only the lord of the country, and I am the master of the (one) family!" Pei Chen smiled heartily and gave Imagawa Yoshimoto an idle thumbs up.

And then, with a bang—

The folding fan, which looked sturdy, hit Pei Chen's forehead firmly.

"Ahem...... You're finally awake, how do you feel? The monster didn't continue to talk to the girl's usual words, but was very happy to help the girl up and sit down. Imagawa Yoshimoto shook her head slightly, then looked around, and after looking at it, she was suddenly disappointed, and then she raised her head proudly, and said as a matter of course:

"Is this the old era? How do you feel like nothing has changed at all?! ”

"This ......"

It seemed that he didn't expect the lord of the country to win the game straight all at once, Pei Chen's expression suddenly became extremely stiff, and his gaze wandered away to look at the witch on the other side who was preparing tea in an elegant posture, hoping to get help. However, Kikyo didn't look at it, and he had to look in the direction of something empty.

"Here's the thing, ah! Today's weather is really good, Yiyuan, I'll take you out to visit this city, it's all yours! ”

"Don't change the subject!"

“…… So, that's the end of it? Pei Chen asked uncertainly.

"Do you want to die once?"

After all, they are all black and straight, and they may have the same ability, so Pei Chen still honestly explained the cause and effect.

……

……

"Why do you have to tell me that this is all over when I just arrived?!"

Yoshimoto Imagawa's brows twitched, feeling like he had reached his limit. There seemed to be something burning in her beautiful eyes, and the previous voice that seemed to be as ethereal and beautiful as an exquisite spring had become quite cold, and she gritted her teeth with extreme dissatisfaction.

"Hmm...... In short, because so, that's it. ”

Pei Chen still maintained a bright smile on his face, his bright red eyes were as bright as summer stars, and he looked like he was holding the chance to win...... If he hadn't been oppressed by the girl's momentum to the point of leaning back half a position, probably the effect would have been even better.

"I see...... Do you think I'm going to say that?! ”

The lord of Kuro Nao patted the tatami mat beside him, straightened up and no longer knelt there upright, but supported the ground with his hands with amazing momentum, pushing half of his body closer, and his eyes were full of oppression.

And the floor that she hit was instantly cracked by the incredible force.

“……！！” Pei Chen's conditioned reflex leaned back, but she kept approaching the past, and in the end, it was the former lying down, and the latter was above it, looking at each other condescendingly.

The long inky black hair of the waterfall fell down, just obscuring the side faces of the two, almost all at once creating a unique world of the two.

"That's a bit too general!! It's so simple, I don't know anything at all!! ”

"This, when Yiyuan sees the door of truth, you should be able to understand it directly......" He had never seen such an aggressive behavior of the angry lord of the country, Pei Chen barely suppressed the feeling of being shocked, and replied as if nothing happened, wanting to confuse the question. And he also needed to try not to let his eyes follow the law of gravity and run to strange places.

"Huh? Does this question still require the knowledge of the human body to be able to answer? And what a price do I have to pay for such a simple answer!! ”

Imagawa Yoshimoto asked with a sneer, reaching out hard to tear Pei Chen's cheek. She only felt extremely angry now, and she was ashamed and annoyed, and she wanted to put this guy under her in a bowl and eat it.

“…… Wait, Yiyuan, why were you able to understand what I said, and you were able to complain back?! Pei Chen was silent for a moment, and then showed a shocked expression.

"Hmph...... I don't know. ”

The long, straight black girl couldn't help but blush slightly as she watched her hair fall down to the face of the hateful man below her. At this time, she finally realized that such a posture was inappropriate, so she stood up and sat back, clasped her hands and snorted coldly. But after venting like this, the anger in her heart was basically vented.

"I see, even the main organs of mortals have the function of cellular memory...... Maybe it's my heart that shares all my memories with you, right? ”

Pei Chen temporarily got out of that very embarrassing state, he half-propped up his body and smiled in distress, and then tilted his head and fell into thought.

"Lord Imagawa, let's have tea." At this time, Kikyo, who had been silent beside him, put a cup of steaming tea in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was sitting back in place. Her eyes were calm, and her voice was cold and ethereal, like a steep spring breeze without the slightest ups and downs.

At this time, I remembered that there was a third person in the room, and Imagawa Yoshimoto blushed and nodded repeatedly, and his voice returned to the beautiful and exquisite timbre it had before: "Thank you, Kikyo." ”

Then she glanced at the monster again, felt that there was nowhere to make it, and suddenly she was deflated, and said weakly with her shoulders hanging down: "Forget it, just take it as my bad luck, so let's ...... No, don't I just go for nothing and go back to the original point in time?! ”

The corners of Pei Chen's mouth were slightly hooked, and he said with a smile: "No, how can it be regarded as a trip for nothing, there is still a time difference of nearly five years before the time period we set off, not that the time has been completely connected - and, Yiyuan, haven't you noticed that something has changed in yourself?!" ”

"What's changed?" The girl lord subconsciously looked at the orthodox twelve singles on his body, hesitated for a moment, and then asked slowly.

"Don't you feel it?" The monster's eyes couldn't help but glance at the densely cracked floor beside her, "Your current strength is very terrifying, and you can suppress all living beings in this world......"

Imagawa Yoshimoto was stunned for a moment, then shook his head decisively, "No, I don't seem to feel any changes. ”

"Don't feel anything?" The youkai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Generally speaking, if your strength skyrockets in a short period of time, no matter who you are, you will have the illusion that you can shatter a mountain with one punch, and you can tear the entire space with one force...... But whether you can do it or not, the reason why you feel this way is that you can't fully control your own power. ”

"You didn't even notice the change at all, could it be said that it was a perfect fusion of new powers?!"

“…… You're not telling the truth, are you? Imagawa Yoshimoto frowned and pondered, and looked at the floor next to him that was slapped by himself, "I was able to do this kind of thing before, I really don't have any special feelings, right?" ”

Pei Chen couldn't help but laugh dumbly, shook his head, and said to himself: "Since this is the case, wouldn't it be good to do an experiment?" You have a rough idea of what you were able to do and what you couldn't do before, but now you just need to test how much your strength has reached, won't you be able to prove what I say? ”

Lord Kuro Nao snorted lightly again, "So, what am I going to do?" ”

The monster's eyes flashed with a strange color, and as soon as he pulled the girl up, he walked outside, and Kikyo, who had been listening quietly beside him, frowned imperceptibly, and got up and followed.

Standing on the watchtower high in the castle tower, Pei Chen stretched out his hand and pointed to the huge, burning fireball in the sky, exuding an eternal majesty and a majestic radiant heat that has been so for hundreds of millions of years.

"You cut down the sun now."

Imagawa Yoshimoto was silent for a long time, and then looked at Pei Chen with a look of neurosis eyes: "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it when the time comes, and there will be no problem." The monster said bluntly, wanting to dispel the other party's worries.

"Stupid! That's not what I'm talking about!! ”
