Tick......

Faint ripples spread gently in the void space, and consciousness gradually gathered with the ripples. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

[Woo woo...... Mom...... I want my mom ......]

The sound of childish cries came from a distance, echoing in the surrounding ink.

Who is it...... Who's crying ......?

Lou Yue frowned slightly, as if he wanted to discern the source of the cry in the dark, but his consciousness always seemed to be covered with a thin veil, and a hazy feeling lingered.

Let me out...... Woo woo woo ......】

【…… Help me...... I don't want to stay here......!! 】

The cry became more and more noisy, lingering from all directions, and gradually overwhelming.

Pounds——!

The darkness shattered like a mirror, and what appeared in front of Lou Yue was a desperate crying face, and a pair of small hands stretched out to him from the cage.

…… This is!?

Dark, damp cellars, children imprisoned like livestock in small cages...... Lou Yue looked at the tragic scene in front of him and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Don't look at it, you haven't done anything yet.

An impatient voice came from beside him, Lou Yue turned his head, and what caught his eye was a strange man.

Tsk, I didn't expect that there were only these little ghosts hidden in this ghost place, and the Blood Keystone didn't seem to be here. The man wiped the blood from the blade, glanced at the two guards who had fallen at his feet, and said with a blank face. Let's go, this operation to capture the Bloodkeystone is important, and we don't have time to waste here.

You are......?

The man's figure seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember the identity of the other party at all, Lou Yue hesitated, but the strange thing was that his body involuntarily followed the man to the exit of the cellar.

Big brother don't go...... Help me...... Please save our ......!!

The mournful cry behind him shook his heart, and Lou Yue subconsciously stopped, but such an action seemed to cause dissatisfaction among men.

Hey, you kid can't go?! Tsk, after all, he is still a little kid, and he doesn't have any rules at all......

Bang——!

The words of reprimand were interrupted by the sudden cold gunshot, and the man's expression stiffened at that moment, only to see a blood spot appear in the middle of the man's forehead, and a little bit of warm blood mixed with brain plasma splashed on Lou Yue's face.

！！！

Lou Yue, who reacted instantly, leaned over and rolled to the side, only to hear two explosions of "bang", and two bullets flew past Lou Yue's scalp in response and hit his previous position.

Someone sneak attacked!

Lou Yue immediately calculated the location of the source of the sniper, then adjusted his posture and quickly dodged to the rear, but at this moment, the screams behind him caught his attention again, and the previous bloody scene obviously aroused the fear of the children in the cage, and the cry shook the sky for a while.

Worst! If you go to the cage, you can't do it......

The momentary hesitation made Lou Yue's movements hesitate, but the consequences of the hesitation at this time were fatal. He felt a tingling sensation suddenly burst out of the back of his neck and spread rapidly throughout his body; Immediately after, a heavy blow greeted Lou Yue's head, and this time he was powerless to dodge and fell to the ground.

How many times have I told you, don't shoot blindly, what if you hurt the test subject in the cage?!

With a strange word, a figure appeared in Lou Yue's field of vision with a tranquilizer gun, and at the same time, another man with a sniper rifle appeared.

Hmph, are you embarrassed to say? If the boss finds out that we let these two 'rats' slip in, they won't be able to eat and walk around! The man with the sniper gun sneered.

Oh, what's the hurry, haven't all the 'rats' been caught? The man with the tranquilizer gun squatted down and grabbed Lou Yue's chin to look at it. Anyway, the other side would send such a little kid to steal the Blood Keystone, is it really the end of the road?

You know, this man is not an ordinary little kid, he is a killing machine that has been cultivated since childhood, and he probably has more blood on his hands than you and me.

Hmph, what about more? After all, it's just a child, no, haven't we caught it? The anesthetic gun man patted Lou Yue's face and smiled obscenely. But to be honest, this kid is pretty good-looking, so it's a pity to kill him like this......

What do you want? Don't make a difference, you......

Hehe, how could it be...... Didn't we die a test subject the other day? The boss was going to let us catch another child and come back, don't you think this is just the right thing to deliver?

Alas...... That's right, it's true that this kid should be about the same age as those test subjects......

Child......? Are you talking about my ......?

Lou Yue tried hard to see the appearance of the other two clearly, but his eyes were always blurry. He turned his head slightly, and then cast his gaze on the metal railing next to him, but saw that in the reflection of the metal railing, a young and childish face was reflected.

This—this is ...... I!?

Okay, that's it, let's brainwash him directly as an experimental subject, and don't report this to the superiors, lest they know that we were negligent and let the 'rats' in.

Just as Lou Yue was in doubt, the sneer of the man with the tranquilizer gun sounded again.

Anyway, what's the kid's name?

I remember he had a nickname, ...... 'White Death'? What does your real name seem to be called...... Night......

【Kaguya.】 】

The picture in front of him shattered in an instant, and with a childish voice, a white figure slowly appeared in the darkness of nothingness.

【Your name...... No, it should be 'our name', it's called Kaguya. 】

The white figure slowly walked towards Lou Yue, his fiery red pupils were like flames, and his white face revealed a kind of aging that was extremely inconsistent with his age. Lou Yue looked at the white-clothed young man standing in front of him, and suddenly understood most of it in his heart.

It looks like you've got your memories back. Lou Yue said calmly.

[That's right, as you just 'saw' in the memory image, I was captured because I missed a mission.] After being erased, I ...... Hui Ye's consciousness was sleeping in the subconscious layer, and you, Lou Yue, were born. The young man in white replied. [For so many years, perhaps because of the Blood Keystone in my body, my consciousness and memory have been sealed in the dust, and now that the Blood Keystone has been destroyed, my memory will also return to its place. 】

So, you're going to replace me once and for all and take back control of your body, right? Lou Yue asked.

[No, quite the opposite.] 】

The young man in white shook his head lightly and said.

[In fact, whether it is Lou Yue or Hui Ye, they are all different experiences in this body, you and I are the same person, and both are indispensable. 】

You...... Don't you hate me? Because of Brother Xie's business......

['Hate'...... Is it? The young man in white lowered his eyes. [To be honest, I used to hate you, but in the final analysis, I hate myself more than I amuse...... And I know no less pain and remorse in your heart than I do. Now that our memories have been retrieved, it is time to unite the divided consciousnesses into one. 】

The young man in white stood in front of Lou Yue, stretched out his hand, and lightly touched Lou Yue's chest, and at the same time, a scorching golden light began to slowly wrap around Lou Yue's body.

[You are me, I am you, as for whether you choose to become Kaguya or Lou Yue in the end, it depends on you......]

You......

Lou Yue looked at the white-clothed young man in front of him who gradually melted into him, and scenes of long-ago memories poured into his mind uncontrollably.

…… Xiao Yue......

The ethereal call faintly came from afar, and the young man in white raised his head slightly, and at the moment before his figure was about to dissipate, a rare smile appeared on his usually indifferent face.

【'Yue'...... I kind of like it...... The man gave it...... The name ......]

The figure of the young man disappeared into the darkness, Lou Yue stood in place in a daze, and suddenly turned around as if he had a feeling, only to see a tall figure standing behind him in the chaotic space, smiling and looking at him.

Thank...... Brother Xie!?

Lou Yue looked at the familiar and heart-wrenching face, and suddenly trembled.

It seems that you have finally reconciled...... Xie Chengyi, who was in the faint light, opened his mouth gently, and his gentle face seemed to show a touch of relief.

Brother Xie, you ...... Already known about my "past"? You already knew...... Past me...... What kind of person is ......?

No matter what happened in the past, for me, you will always be my 'little Yue'...... Xie Chengyi's eyes were full of tenderness and relief. Let the misfortunes of the past pass, and seeing that you have been freed from the spell of the Blood Keystone, I am finally ...... You can leave with peace of mind......

No, no! Don't leave...... Please...... Don't leave me!!

Lou Yue shouted anxiously, wanting to run towards the figure in front of him, but found that his feet were imprisoned by the golden light around him, and he couldn't move half a step.

You can't come to me yet, Yue. Xie Chengyi shook his head slightly. I know that I have become a 'heart knot' in your heart, but this 'heart knot' has finally come to untie it, and it was not your fault that it was back then, so stop punishing yourself.

Brother Xie......

It is the fate of all things that cannot escape death, and I did what I had to do during the days when I was 'alive', and that was enough. Xie Chengyi looked at Lou Yue, who was in tears, and said softly.

My 'time' is over, but yours is still a long time. Let's go back...... That man...... The one who saved you...... Still ...... Waiting for you......

Tick......

The faint ripples reverberated in the chaotic space again, Xie Chengyi's figure gradually dissipated with the ripples, Lou Yue stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to grab the figure who was far away, but the other party was like a mirror, dissipating into the void in an instant.

Bye...... Xiao Yue...... (To be continued.) )
