"Mr. Tsuru Ten Nights, were you a soldier before?"

Pushing wheelchairs, Rei and Tsuru stroll through the sparsely populated streets, and although they are rare, cheers and noises can be heard from the surrounding buildings. It didn't www.biquge.info snow after a while, Ling carefully put on a shawl and hat for Ye, and Crane Shiye carried some flour and ingredients for her and followed behind.

"I still can't escape the restraints of the soldiers," Tsuru Juya held the flask, the whiskey in it had bottomed out, "I'm too mediocre, I'm just a pawn worth mentioning compared to the 'genius', and if it weren't for the sudden disappearance of my boss, it would never have been my turn to command the troops, and I wouldn't have had to take any responsibility." ”

He, like Xinxin, is still haunted by the man's disappearance. On the one hand, he rejoiced that he was able to get rid of the shadow of that omnipotent man, and on the other hand, he felt that 'he is suitable for this position' and felt his own powerlessness, and only a 'mediocre person' like him who was sandwiched between the two sides would have such troubles.

To this day, Tsuru Juya still feels that he has become a god-chaser only because of that man's mercy. Compared to him, he is just a passerby who does nothing and passes by in a hurry. He had thought more than once that the man could do anything better than he could if he was in his position. Blocked by the foliage of the trees and the scorching sun, he did not get a trace of attention, but he became more and more uneasy after soaking up the sun.

"Feeling too stressed? Because you are responsible for the safety of more people? Ling seemed to be reminded of her ancestors.

"No, I just found out that the guy I always wanted to be an opponent was so much better than me, and I felt like I was missing something."

He had never wanted to apologize to his dead subordinates, or even to the ones he had ordered to 'send to death', and now he felt a little guilty about his former colleagues. If he could have gone further like that man, with clearer judgment, and with better judgment, they wouldn't have died.

"Now I understand, I'm just a mere nuisance."

"Actually, you're still unwilling, aren't you?" Ling continued to push the wheelchair and walked forward, "For your former boss, you feel weak because you lost to him, I understand. ”

Absolutely. Tsuru drank the last drop of whiskey in the jug and put the jug in his pocket, the alcohol affected his body and gradually became hot. Competitiveness makes him second-rate, uneasy and self-blame makes him unable to move forward, and he is afraid to pursue the 'organization' and excellent teammates, only because of fear, fear that he will encounter unsolvable problems when he is not good enough to move forward independently.

(I really want to thank you, thanks to you, I can understand.) ）

"What more do you want to buy?"

"Well, buy some drinks, shall we? Your flask looks like it's empty. ”

At some point, the two walked side by side. Crane Shiye, who was vigilant around him, also relaxed his guard, and he let go of the shadow of his former soldier, although his steps were still stiff, but he stepped steadily. Will the Godchasers change? Probably not, the stubborn and persistent God-chasers will chase after their beliefs, even if they are broken.

The pace of progress is bound to be slow, but it is not a pleasure compared to the time that has been stagnant.

Not having to be alone among the pedestrians who walked in the winter, this feeling was also what he longed for as a god-chaser and a soldier. He may be hungry for victory, but he was always just a human being. He also understands that he can't stay here forever, that he doesn't belong here, and that his end is not here.

Before you embark on the road alone again, enjoy the peace one last time.

"I see, I have to say, you really fit the title of Demon God. Interesting, I didn't expect people like you to come up with this method, is it the effect of drugs? Forget it, it doesn't matter, I'll just watch a good show. ”

The eyes of the demon god were fixed on the pedestrians in the street. Soak up the winter atmosphere, Russians are never afraid of the cold. Wine, music and revelry make up their colors.

"Really? Don't you think it's a wonderful process? Kokoba raised his glass and touched a glass with the blonde woman she didn't know, "It always makes me feel like I'm going to have that experience someday—to have such unrealistic fantasies under the influence of drugs, but the trip has to go on, the plan doesn't stop, and the world of reality and fantasy is the world to which the God Chasers belong." ”

Looking at the world distorted by alcohol and moisture through the amber color of the glass, the girl grinned.

"And just sit here and wait for it to be done, no need to think, no need to care about the development of things, no need to think about success or failure, everything falls into place, all I do is push the boat with the flow."

"Russians and Nords are really similar in some places," Mora said, holding his coffee cup and shaking his feet, looking at the guys around him who were toasting and drinking, "I hate either one, and the guys who are more muscular than their brains are always unreassuring." ”

"That's a necessary part of human existence, living in contradictions, and we need contradictory ways to adapt."

"What about you? You indulge in alcohol and the self-satisfaction of the drug, putting on a face expecting something to happen, and for what? ”

Mora held up her coffee cup to cover the lower half of her face.

"In the face of endless winter and winter nights that do not reach the dawn, there is only unscrupulous means to advance. God chasers live in contradiction at all times. ”

The God Chasers are gods, and they don't have to pay any responsibility to the world. Compared to the gods who serve as the will of the world in the world, the gods are free, unrestrained, soaring among the branches and leaves of the world, or building nests for themselves, or looking for 'food', or maybe just want to enjoy the feeling of flying, among these migratory birds, there will always be those who want to fly higher than the blue sky, and they will eventually understand that birds cannot fly in space.

But even so, they will still move forward towards the boundless blue sky without hesitation.

"And what about your purpose in approaching the Ten Nights of the Crane? You didn't have to show up, too much contact with him wouldn't make sure he wouldn't find out the truth," Mora shrugged, sniffing the coffee, "Just because that guy has no experience with 'feelings' doesn't mean he's unaware of your purpose. ”

"Didn't I say that? I'm just pushing the boat along," Kokoba stood up and settled the bill with the bar owner, "That's his own expectation, and instead of resenting me, he'll thank me." Just as I decided to cut off my connection with the past and embark on this endless journey, he just made a 'break', and I would have one less enemy because of it. ”

"Can you use it for your own purpose? What if that guy keeps pestering you? I think he's in love with you," Mora said with a sneer, "and you've achieved your goal, haven't you?" ”

"His emotional support has nothing to do with me, but "Ling", which is somewhat similar to me, but completely different from me. Isn't it funny to play with someone else's future and then say, 'This is fate'? ”

The two demon gods glanced at each other, and both smiled intriguingly.

――――

For three months, the heart leaf did not reappear. As she herself said, she was about to leave this world, and if she looked up, she could see the wonderful full moon - it should not be a full moon, the real starry sky in this world had long disappeared, and the moon should not be visible anywhere, and Tsuru Shiye did not conduct any further investigation related to this heart leaf, he 'resigned' his job there, stayed in Russia, and lived comfortably for three months.

After this heart leaf leaves, he will also embark on his own path, and he will also say goodbye to his past.

M9 Beretta, the weapon that Tsuru Ten Nights have been using all along, and now he is going to say goodbye to the way. Before he quit his job, he built a long knife from an acquaintance in China, the straight knife was more than one meter two long, but only two fingers wide, originally used on horseback, the Tang knife compared to more cold weapons in history, this is not the best choice for a guy like Tsuru Shiye who is not good at cold weapons, but this is also the one he chose among many weapons after careful consideration.

In the past, when forging a katana, the blade was forged at the edge to prevent the blade from chipping, but the blade was actually more fragile than the blade, and if he could use the length and hardness to hit the blade, it would not damage the blade, but it would make it difficult to hold the sword by taking advantage of the thin nature of the katana.

Crane Shiye at least knows more about cold weapons than this heart leaf, but the heart leaf that repeatedly makes other people's weapons has never considered the nature of the weapon.

The roar of engines and footsteps could be heard outside the hotel where he was staying, and Tsuru Juya clenched his straight knife and closed his eyes.

There is one contractor and thirteen marines. He did not officially quit his job, but stayed in Russia and disappeared for three months, and the authorities were worried that he would leave with a head full of secrets, so they finally sent someone to carry out the 'repatriation'.

It was so comfortable, he couldn't help but sigh. After becoming a god chaser, there has never been a decent battle, and it has been a long time since he thought about how to defeat more than a dozen heavily armed enemies without using the Holy Emblem like this, or as an ordinary person, and in order to facilitate his escape and prevent a surprise attack, the hotel he booked was on the second floor, which also came in handy at this time.

Come on, this perfect night, let me enjoy the glory before I die.
