Chapter 280: Footsteps of Searching

I've been looking for one thing.

Something that's so familiar, but can't be found anywhere.

So what is it?

————————————————

Styx stepped out of the forest and saw at a glance the middle-aged officer standing in front of everyone.

"Unexpectedly...... It's you? ”

The middle-aged officer's brows furrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Captain of Team 396, don't you want to give an explanation?".

"Huh, explain? Can't you tell the obvious answer of whether your eyes go to your ass or your ass goes to your head? I just didn't expect it...... Unexpectedly, even you, one of the initiators of **, became their eagle dog. Styx said coldly. Her voice was neither loud nor small, just enough for everyone to hear.

The middle-aged officer's eyes froze: "The remnants of **? ”

Styx seemed to have heard the funniest thing in the world, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of mockery.

"Remnant? You say I'm a remnant, but what about you? What are you?"

"Me? I'm just confused. ”

"Bewildered...... Ha, this kind of words can also come out of the mouth of you, the initiator? ”

"Who the hell are you?" The middle-aged officer lost patience and asked impatiently.

"Me? Just a fool with no name. ”

"It turned out to be you" The middle-aged officer was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized.

"How does it feel to be a hawk dog in that pack of dogs? Pretty cool, isn't it? ”

“……”

"What, nothing more?"

"Nothing to say? That should be your rhetoric," the middle-aged officer suddenly became furious, "Why do you think we started that **?" Yes, we are going to overthrow their rule and make life good for all, but what will happen? How many people have died because of us, and who have we protected? You say."

"......" If it were me in the past, I would definitely say that "change is always accompanied by blood". What now?

"That shouldn't be a reason for you to take refuge in your former enemy."

"Enemies? You're wrong. In the eyes of the people, we who launched the ** are the enemy, what do people want? A peaceful life, that's all. What about us? We have drawn them into the war, and how many families have been torn apart because of us? Who are we worthy, and have we fulfilled our duty as capable people? ”

"Nope"

"The people of Vault Seven have provided a place for people to live in peace no matter what they say. Without us, people don't have to worry about tomorrow's food, don't worry about whether they will wake up again after going to sleep, don't worry about whether they should get married and have children, I'm a soldier, my duty is to protect such a peaceful day."

"Living for the people is my justice. What about you? Where is your justice?"

"My Righteous ......"

What is my justice?

I have killed so many people, is there justice at all?

Justice, the word is not for me.

I have ......

Just atonement.

"Your justice is simply imposing your own ideas on others. Have you ever thought about it, are those you protect as you think? ”

"Do you need to ask? I was an orphan before I joined the army, and who better understands the minds of ordinary people than I do? ”

"You've been carried away by your own righteousness, and you can't listen to anyone else anymore." Styx sighed and drew the katana at his waist, "Since words are useless, let me use force to sober you up." I'll ask one last question, apart from Zuo Jing, what about the rest of the companions? Don't tell me they're all dead, I'm far more sensitive to death than you are. ”

"They? They are not your companions, they are mine. ”

————————————————

I've been looking for it, but why can't I find it?

Where is that warmth, where is that people want to rely on?

I'm on a path to find it, and I don't stop until I find it.

I...... I can't stop it.

————————————————

"What do you mean?" Styx frowned slightly.

"They live in the same righteousness as I do, and only they are qualified to be my companions. As for you...... I'll give you a chance to change your ways. You and I are both capable beings, and God has given us this strength for only one purpose - to protect the weak ordinary people, and let us fight side by side again, just like before. ”

Styx's face changed, and he looked at the middle-aged officer with a cold gaze.

"We'll never fight together again...... At the moment when you use mental manipulation on your companions"

"Lock it down, Blackwing Great-Demon"

The pitch-black wings stretched out, as if they could shade the sky. Her figure moved slightly, and a loud voice appeared behind the middle-aged officer, and the cyan Lingzi lightsaber in her hand swept away.

"When—"

With a crisp sound, the uniformed girl held the katana out of nowhere in both hands and stopped the attack of the River Styx.

"I won't allow you to hurt the sir"

Styx snorted coldly: "Zuo Jing, you were just manipulated by him, get out of the way"

"I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't want to know. But let me watch you hurt the chief, absolutely not"

Zuo Jing flew up and kicked the opponent's waist fiercely.

Styx didn't dare to hold it up, and as soon as his wings moved, his figure appeared ten meters in the air. If there is anyone in this world who is the natural enemy of her ability, this familiar and strange girl in front of her is. She is a void and a broken face, and Zuo Jing is the god of death, and she is the biggest enemy in terms of ability between the two masks, but they are indeed best friends in reality.

Before.

"See? She and I share the same idea, we are companions."

"A companion I don't even remember? It's up to you to say that."

"Without further ado, are you willing to fight for the people and fulfill your duties as a competent one?"

Styx's answer was only one word.

"Get out."

"Xiao Zuo, kill her."

Zuo Jing put the sword in his hand on his chest, and chanted the language of sword liberation as if sighing.

"Bloom like an epiphany, fragrant"

——————————————————

Walk, go, go, go.

I'm so tired that I want to stop.

But I can't.

I haven't found that thing yet, so how can I stop?

I, there's no time.

——————————————————

Brilliant brilliance overflowed on the sword, like an epiphany blooming. At that moment, the heavens and the earth were pale. There is only one infinitely dazzling flower in the world that quietly blooms, as if it has taken away all the brilliance of this world. No one can describe that beauty, and human words simply can't do it.

And then......

Flowers wither.

Styx fell limply from the sky, his entire body disintegrating and shattering like a rapidly withering flower.

For this flower, life is only a moment.

The transient in our eyes is the eternity in its eyes.

——————————————————

At this point, I stopped.

Because...... The deadline has arrived.

Finally, I still haven't been able to find it?

Since this is my fate, I have to accept it.

But I really want to find it, even if it's just for a moment

——————————————————

"I didn't expect it to be so strong......

"Returning to the Blade in the Second Stage"

The momentum of Styx's fall suddenly stopped, and the injuries on his body recovered in an instant. With a flick of her right hand, the Thunder Spear leaped up on it, and then appeared behind the middle-aged officer without stopping, stabbing at the other party without mercy. All this happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that even the middle-aged man with extremely strong mental strength did not notice it in the slightest.

Except for Zuo Jing.

"Swastika? Instant Beauty"

No one knew what the splendor was at that moment, and they even hesitated if it existed.

As its name suggests, there is a moment of beauty that can only be seen once in a lifetime.

Only...... Moment.

——————————————————

Cheng Tian has a straight face and always mutters "justice" and "justice" in his mouth, a sister who is cold like an ice cube, who says that he wants to marry my brother every day, who is younger than me but always pats me on the shoulder and says, "Mix meat with me" ***, and mutters "1+1=2" little dd all day long......

Only I know, my uncle is an orphan like me, and my sister hides pain in her heart that no one knows, saying that she was going to marry my brother and killed his fiancée who became a bloodline awakener, *** I haven't eaten meat once in my life, and Xiao DD was an outcast who didn't even know how much 1+1 was equal to before his ability awakened......

We rely on each other, and we tolerate each other's pain with our own body heat.

It was incredibly warm, it made people feel warm.

I found it, I finally found it.

Didn't fate, after giving me great pain, still give me what I had been looking for?

——————————————————

Styx is not dead.

Zuo Jing's swastika was still a step too late after all, so she used her body to block the Thunder Spear.

Blood, flowing wantonly.

Memory, boiling in the mind.

Zuo Jing, who had a huge blood hole in his chest, fell weakly, but his eyes were still looking at the uncle gently.

As always, the girl who looked at everyone with contented eyes.

I remembered, I remembered it all.

The older brother who died, the sister who collapsed, the younger brother who entered the laboratory and never returned...... And the uncle who became something I never knew again.

Everything that happens.

"What have I done, is this the justice I want" The middle-aged officer hugged the girl's body, and his ability collapsed in an instant.

He manipulates others with his ability to manipulate others.

That's the price.

Styx sat down in despair, restored to its original form.

I...... Kill Zuo Jing?

Why......

What am I and what am I

"Don't ...... Crying. Zuo Jing said softly. The Grim Reaper's abilities kept her from dying, but the severe wound was by no means something anyone could heal. Ouyang Yijiu can't, Luo Ya ...... Nor can it. Her wound is not **, she hurts her soul. The soul is burned out, what is the use of being intact?

This is the end of the use of both the beginning and the swastika.

Because, that's "instant beauty".

"Uncle, sister, you're all wrong......"

Who's wrong with that

"Uncle, can you reconcile with my sister for me?"

The uncle kept nodding his head, tears rolling down his cheeks like pearls with broken threads.

At this time, the middle-aged officer was no longer a soldier, he was just an ordinary uncle.

"Can it still be like it used to?".

Styx took the girl's losing hand and held it tightly in the palm of his hand. The uncle hugged the girl and did not move.

"It's like this, it's good like this......" The girl's voice grew weaker and weaker.

Isn't that what I'm looking for?

Finally, finally got it again.

Thank you, Fate, for giving me this last moment.

"Thank you...... Wouldn't it be nice if this moment could go on? Tears flashed in the corners of the girl's eyes.

Tears never fall.

All that fell was light dust.
