Killing the three plague beasts casually, Deng Heng bowed down and picked up the torture blade and touched it, suddenly laughed, and said, "I knew that you kid wouldn't die so easily." ”

The Yue brothers and sisters were stunned for a moment, and then said with a look of disbelief, "Dean, what do you mean..."

Deng Heng nodded and said, "It's still alive." ”

Hearing this, Yuexia and Yuelan breathed a deep sigh of relief, and the depressed mood of the past few days suddenly disappeared.

Tsukishita stood up to take a look at Torture Blade, but found that Torture Blade was holding something full of blood in his right hand.

"What?" She asked.

Deng Heng stretched out his hand and pinched it on the wrist of the torture blade, and casually took out the things in the hand of the torture blade.

It was a blue dodecahedral crystal.

"Apocalypse psionic crystal!" Yue Lan was taken aback when she saw it.

Yuexia hurriedly asked, "What about Charles and Xia?" ”

They all knew that the reason why Charles had feelings was because of this hedrons.

"Are those two poor people you are talking about?" Deng Heng pointed not far away, in a slightly concave pit, there were two people.

When the moon saw it, his heart was bitter, and he walked slowly with sadness on his face.

There weren't two people in the pit, a robot holding a human to be exact.

The robot has blonde hair that falls haphazardly behind it. However, there was a large hole in its chest, as if someone had roughly dug it open with a hand and taken out the parts inside.

At this time, the robot lowered her head, and a pair of green eyes looked at the person in her arms affectionately, and her face was full of relief and happiness. The robot's hand gently caressed the face of the man in his arms. There is humanity in the eyes that are not shining.

The person in the robot's arms was no longer breathing and completely dead. He was lying in the arms of the robot, and his ugly face that had been burned by the fire looked serene and happy. It's like falling asleep in the arms of your beloved lover.

"Charles! Shire! What would you do if I died one day? ”

"I'll die with you."

An ethereal conversation suddenly sounded in the ears of the three of them. The childish and innocent children's voice, full of soft and affectionate girls, could not be dispersed in the ears of the three for a long time.

Yuexia and Yuelan silently looked at these two statue-like people. Choked up and speechless.

Hahaha...

In a trance, they heard the clear and cheerful laughter in the abandoned ancient city. It seems to tell the joy and ease of the past of this pair of people who have been abandoned by the world, as a proof of the poor people who once existed in the world.

Deng Heng looked at the torture blade in his arms and muttered, "You were also moved by the true feelings between them, so did you stay to protect them?" ”

The Yue siblings looked down, their trembling hands clenched into fists. These two people are their saviors. But it was not himself who dared to give his life for them, but a murderer who killed without blinking.

"What an irony!" The nails under the moon are embedded in the palm of the hand.

Yuelan slowly knelt on the ground, trying to lay the two of them flat.

But the moment they just touched Charles, the bodies of the two people gradually turned into blue light particles, floating and flying in the air.

Like fireflies in the night sky, free and easy.

"Go, now there is no one in the world who can disturb your life." Moonlight muttered.

The fluorescence gradually drifts into the air. In a trance, several people heard the sad song again.

The ancient city has been singing solo for more than 100 years, turning into a star and a lonely moon to go to the sky.

Loneliness has nothing in my heart, but there are children in my heart.

Fanghua has been rotating for 30 years, and the old city wall is withered.

The world does not understand the words, read the book of revelation together.

In a dream, he left the city and fell in love.

The long wind has gone and returned, and it is difficult to miss and return when you go.

Life and death are uncertain, and the soul returns to the homeland.

Remembering the wind and keeping the soul to go to the house, I will break the door in ancient years.

Carry the road to break the ghosts and fall blue, pick the stars and the moon and break the yellow spring.

However, the thought was shattered, and Jun Nian was not sent to Tianluan.

Baishi reincarnated to welcome strangers, and smiled and cried for thousands of years.

・・・・・・

Apocalypse City, Frankie's private hospital.

The torture blade, which was covered in bandages, slowly opened its eyes, and then a pair of dark eyes swept to both sides, and what they saw was a white space.

"Thank you, Torture Blade! Thank you for freeing me. Thank you for letting me go to the same place as Natsu. ”

In a pool of blood, Charles, who finished singing, had tears on his face and smiled brightly at the torture blade.

In the blood-red vision, the torture blade let countless disasters bite at him, and walked in front of Charles with difficulty.

Natsu is dead, and by the end of the song, the last of her consciousness has dissipated.

Charles, holding up his tearful face, said, "Thank you." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and looked at Xia affectionately, and reached out to caress Xia's face.

Sting!

The blood-smeared, bone-baring arm pierced Charles' chest.

Looking at the blue hedron on his palm, and then at the motionless Charles, Torture Blade felt himself violently dizzy.

Ahh

In a heart-rending howl, Tortureblade held the blue crystal in one hand and the halberd in the other, slaughtering the remaining calamities in a frenzy.

His purpose was simple, no one could disturb them. Even if they are dead, even if it is a catastrophe like a tidal wave.

"Torture Blade! Torture Blade! ”

Gradually waking up from that memory, Tortureblade came back to his senses just in time to see Frankie in a noble dress.

"Well, it looks like you're not stupid yet." Frannie sat on the edge of the bed and nodded.

Torture Blade thought about it briefly and found that his thinking was not as blocked as he imagined.

"How long did I sleep?" A hoarse and unpleasant voice came out.

"Forty-five days. A month and a half. Frannie calculated as she looked at the calendar at the head of Tortureblade's bed.

Tortureblade moved his body briefly, and found that his whole body was held in place by something like a plaster.

"What for?" Torture Blade asked hoarsely.

Frannie glanced at her blade and said, "What for?" Of course it saved you. When you were picked up by Deng Heng, 40% of the blood was lost. 47% of the body's surface tissues, including fat and muscle, were gnawed away by the disaster. The whole person is hanging for a breath, and he will die at any time. ”

Tortureblade didn't speak, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Franny continued, "If it weren't for my use of the Evolution Potion to help you restore your muscles, you would be crippled by now. ”

"Evolution potion?" Tortureblade turned to look at her.

Faranie said with a painful face, "I heard that it is the top research result of the Astral Research Institute. It can greatly evolve the body's physical strength and accelerate cell differentiation. It took me a lot of money to get it. You have to repay me! ”

"It's just a hundred thousand alliance coins, and for you, Miss Rhodes, that's just a minute of running water."

Hearing the atmosphere, Frannie got up, looked at the moon standing at the door, gritted her teeth and said, "You rude wild girl, you are still so rude." ”

Yuexia walked in without care, sat down on the side of the torture blade's bed and said, "Our Yuejia is like this. If you don't like it, go find my father. I taught it to him. ”

Frannie sharpened her silver teeth and snorted coldly, "Humph! You have to thank Tortureblade this time. I'd heard it all, if it weren't for him. You've all died countless times. ”

Yuexia nodded silently, and did not speak with a lonely face.

When Frannie saw the appearance of the moon, she had no interest in arguing. Growing up, she had never seen this wild girl show such an expression.

"You talk, I still have something to do." Frankie finished and walked out of the room.

After Faranie left, there was an oppressive silence in the room.

I don't know how long it took, but Tsukishita raised her head and looked at the torture blade and said, "Thank you this time." ”

"Don't thank me." Torture Blade said, humming a faint tune in his mouth.

I heard it under the moon, this is the "Requiem for the Ages" sung by Charles at the beginning.

Hearing this song, Yuexia's heart became even more sour, and she lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry for them." ”

Tortureblade turned to look at Moonlight's trembling shoulders.

Click・・Click・・・

Crystal tears fell onto her thighs.

"They don't blame you. They are happy now. Torture Blade looked at the ceiling with his eyes and said lightly.

Knowing that he was comforting her, Yuexia suddenly raised her head, stared at the torture blade with a pair of tear-filled eyes, and shouted, "I don't need you to comfort me!" ”

Tortureblade didn't care about the appearance under the moon, and stared at the ceiling with blazing eyes. Those eyes seemed to see something through countless time and space.

"Really, they're really happy." As he spoke, Torture Blade withdrew his gaze and looked at the moon and said flatly, "Thank you." ”

Under the moon was stunned by the torture blade.

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for letting me meet Natsu, meet Charles."

Yuexia was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

The first time they crossed paths with Charles was when they rescued Xia who was being teased.

And if it was the torture blade himself, he would never care about this person. If you don't save it, you won't know Xia deeply, and you won't know Charles.

When the tortured blade said this, Yuexia's heart was more comfortable, wiped the tears on his face, and said calmly, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"What to do?"

"Continue to stay in school, or enter the Seven Killings?" Tsukishita asked.

Torture Blade said directly, "Seven Kills, there is nothing left in the school to teach me. ”

A burst of joy flashed in Yuexia's eyes when she heard this, and then she hurriedly stood up and said, "Well, then you can take care of your illness." ”

With that, leave quickly.

Walking to the door, Yuexia turned around and said, "You don't have to worry about that evolution potion. It's all the tatters at the bottom of the box. It's a project that died before it was completed, and you don't owe Lenny any favors. ”

After the moon was gone, Frannie walked in and knocked on the head of the torture blade and said, "You big fool. It's not easy to make this Nizi cry. You've just got to take her a chance, and you're going to be able to take her down! ”

As she spoke, Frankie carefully took a large number of torture blades and exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to be a cheap breed who doesn't know anything, but you are actually a master of flirting with girls." ”

Tortureblade didn't know what Tsukishita meant.

Interrupt Frannie directly, saying, "I want to kill." ”

"Kill whom?" Frannie was stunned.

"Sam, Baruca." Torture Blade said lightly.

A flash of surprise flashed across Flanne's face and she exclaimed, "Good! How do you need me to cooperate with you? ”

"Just act like you didn't see me." As he spoke, Torture Blade broke through the plaster cast and sat up, revealing his powerful body.

Franny smiled and said, "It's easy. ”

The next day, a piece of news that shocked the whole city exploded.

Sam Baruka is dead. And he died very miserably. I heard that someone smashed the bones of his whole body, and then shaved off his flesh piece by piece with a knife.

When it was found, all that was left was a pair of pieces of minced meat, as well as a recording.

"Ahhh Save me! Save me! Ahh Please! Please, kill me! ・・Ahhh ”

The screams lasted for more than an hour, making everyone present at the time turn pale with fright and tremble their legs. Some people just sat on the ground and peed their pants.

Frannie's private hospital. When Frannie arrives at Tortureblade's ward again, she finds Tortureblade lying peacefully on the bed, looking at the ceiling, humming a sad and ethereal tune.

On his hands was Sam's head, twisted out of human form out of fear.
