Chapter 232: Slump and Fate
The sparse rain hit the green tiles, and you could vaguely hear the sound of heavy rain pouring outside through the wooden door.
The black and oppressive sky has long made it difficult to tell the time, like the darkness of the night shrouded outside, Xia You and Poison Island Tsuneko are standing in the temple, silently resting themselves.
The smooth floor stretched into the darkness, and the space in the temple was large, and Xia You found incense candles in the shrine to light them.
Isolated from the torrential rain and the dead body, the temple seemed strangely quiet.
"Tick."
The water dripping from the clothes made a small sound on the floor, which was especially clear in this silence.
The wet clothes felt uncomfortably sticky, and they started to feel cold when they stuck to the body. The inadvertent glance just now made Xia You very clear that Poison Island was also in wet clothes.
It's just that Tsumiko is different from him, he can casually freeze his clothes and turn all the wet water into ice crystals and shoot them off. And this little cold is not a problem at all for him, a person who plays with ice.
What he hesitates now is whether to build a yƬ for Poison Island Tsuruzi.
"Why don't you take your clothes off?"
Xia You quickly glanced back at her, and then said, paused, feeling that this sentence was a bit abrupt, and immediately added:
"I don't mean anything else, I just think that if you get sick in wet clothes, it will be very troublesome in this kind of world."
"I understand." Poison Island answered softly.
"Don't worry, I won't turn around."
Xia You immediately answered, and then walked away with his back to her. I wanted to walk away a little, but I stopped in the next sentence of Poison Island Tsuneko.
"Well, I trust unconditionally in the man I approve."
Very understatement. Xia You inexplicably felt a very gentle feeling.
He did not respond to Tsuneko Poison Island's words. The faint light of the candle flame always makes people want to be quiet for some reason.
The sound of rustling came from behind him. made Xia You's breathing suddenly stagnate.
He just thought about not looking back, but he didn't think that even if he didn't look back, the kind of imaginary picture that made people's thoughts mess still came to his face.
With every slight, he seemed to be able to see purple hair around his white neck, and with every squirming sound, he seemed to be able to see wet clothes gliding over the soft skin.
The subtle sound was not muffled by the thunderstorm outside, but was so clear, one by one. It was eating away at his nerves.
"I just saw that there seems to be a monk's robe over there... I'll look for it. ā
Xia You suddenly spoke, and walked out without waiting for a response.
"Hmm" Poison Island stopped moving, and replied inaudibly.
The torrential rain was still pouring down, and there was no tendency to get smaller at all, as if it was going to rain for eternity.
Under the candlelight, the shadows of the two were elongated, beating with the flickering of the fire core.
Xia You exhaled slightly.
The temple is a temple known to Poison Island Tsuko, but Xia You didn't find the beads she said.
Even now, she herself is not sure whether the temple with Buddha beads is the one or the other.
Xia You was somewhat disappointed in his heart. But this affection was quickly suppressed by him.
The faint sandalwood fragrance emanating from the shrine and the wooden pillars has a feeling of cleansing people's hearts. Perhaps the reason for the accumulation of that ethereal wish power has always made Xia You always have a kind of unhurried mentality.
"Shall we spend it here tonight?"
Poison Island asked suddenly.
Xia You sat on the floor, looked at the dark outside, and nodded slightly: "Probably." ā
Tsuneko Poison Island was silent.
Xia You heard the sound of her jade feet curling up on the ground. The slender figure reflected by the candle flame danced on the floor, in the vague outline.
Xia You suddenly found that she was unexpectedly unscrupulous now.
He suddenly felt his heart beat a little faster.
"Xia You..."
Poison Island screamed abruptly.
Xia You's hand on the floor subconsciously strained himself.
Poison Island didn't lean over, but there was a sense of confusion in his tone:
"You say, will this world ever go back?"
Xia You paused and turned his head to look over.
The monk's robe was still placed there and did not move, the whiteness under the candle flame was so dazzling, and the deep arc was like extraditing to the abyss of sin, and in the dim light, Xia You saw a lot of things that he shouldn't have seen, and he turned his head almost instantly.
Poison Island Tsuneko didn't seem to see Xia You's movements, and still said to herself:
"Actually, I know, everyone knows that the world has become like this, and Saya also said that in order to survive, you can only desperately adapt to this environment."
"......" Xia You didn't answer, and the picture he had just seen was still floating in his mind.
"Actually, I think this kind of world is not bad." Poison Island suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.
smiled very nervously, Xia You finally felt that something was wrong with Poison Island.
"Xia You, you know what? I almost killed someone. It was one night four years ago, a man tried to attack me, and when I realized I had a knife in my hand, instead of dodging, I led him to a corner. ā
Poison Island's voice seemed to be very close, and it seemed far away:
"Can you believe it? I tried to lure him over, and when he couldn't wait to pounce, I slashed his shoulder blades and thighs with a knife. When the bones shattered and he screamed, I felt so happy, so happy that I couldn't help but tremble. ā
Poison Island Tsuneko's voice was raised little by little, Xia You didn't turn his head to look at her, but he listened to her words at this time, and he could almost see the excitement of her purple pupils.
"Do you know why I didn't hesitate to kill those walking corpses?"
"When I killed them, I was so excited that I trembled with excitement every time I swung the knife down, and I trembled with excitement when I saw the broken stump and the mutilated corpse."
Poison Island Tsuneko suddenly stopped as he spoke, as if he wanted to be silent, but he spoke gloomily:
"You say. Am I hopeless? ā
"......" Xia You still didn't speak.
Poison Island Tsuneko looked at Xia You, who was always facing away from him. The corners of his mouth tugged. Lonely Quiet Opening:
"Don't you ask me anything?"
Xia You sighed, and also opened his mouth to respond: "Yanzi, I'm not good at comforting people. ā
"......" Poison Island Tsuneko silently lowered his head and laughed at himself.
The smile is poignant, the smile is down, the smile is quiet.
"But I can sue you, kill the body, I kill more than you." Xia You suddenly continued.
There was no looking back. Xia You's voice sank: "Moreover, I have killed people." Living, normal humans without any lesions. More than one or two. ā
Tsuneko Poison Island jerked her head up.
"It's not wrong to be obsessed with power, and it's not wrong to be obsessed with power, someone once told me that when you have a hammer in your hand, you want to smash everything. I think it's human nature. ā
Xia You looked up at the beam above his head, his eyes were a little confused:
"It's just that some people will magnify their nature, and some people will converge. And in such a world. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. ā
"Didn't you agree with Saya's phrase 'adapt to such an environment'? In the apocalyptic present, swing the knife to kill. It's already the need to adapt to the environment. Xia You suddenly turned his head and said. It was only halfway through that I realized something, and I turned back abruptly.
"Those are dead bodies."
Xia You flicked the clean monk's robe on his body and stroked the rough cloth on his wide sleeves:
"Perhaps, you used to kill people, but you're saving people now."
After a pause, Xia You's deep voice gradually became higher:
"For every dead body you kill, you may save one person, ten people, a hundred people. That can be a great thing, can't it? ā
An inexplicable feeling stirred in his heart, and Xia You faintly realized that he had found a perfect reason for his madness.
āā¦ā
Poison Island Tsuneko opened her mouth slightly, looked at Xia You, and finally couldn't help it:
"Poof!"
"Hey..."The surging heart disappeared in a smile, and Xia You only felt full of black lines now.
"So you're a chatter, too, we all thought you were cool." Poison Island covered her mouth, but she couldn't help but smile a little in her words.
Xia You also silently breathed a sigh of relief. Either way, Tsuneko has now come out of that slump.
He was just about to speak, there was a slight sound of approaching, and when he noticed it, Poison Island was already close to his ear, exhaling like an orchid:
"I seem to be a little persuaded by you, and I'm a little tempted by you."
A sensitive spirit, Xia You immediately dodged like a catapult.
Obviously, he was still in charge a moment ago, and this feeling of being molested made him very uncomfortable.
Extremely uncomfortable.
"Speaking of which, you're younger than me, aren't you? What do you think? My sister has been comforted by you, do you need my sister to comfort me? Poison Island leaned over again.
The soft body leaned against his back, squeezing the softness that made Xia You's body tense. The breath of the ears was like a musk like an orchid, like a beautiful sound, which made Xia You suddenly feel the boundless charm of Yanzi.
In the afterglow, the shadow of the proud and slender arc stretched and loomed on the ground.
Xia You gritted his teeth and stood up suddenly:
"I'll look for the bead again!"
"Giggles."
Xia You swore that it was the first time he had heard such a laugh from Poison Island Tsuiko, the kind of smugness that Jiang Xin had felt after teasing himself, it was so familiar and embarrassing.
"Boom...!"
The thunder in the torrential rain suddenly exploded, and the whole world suddenly lit up.
There was a faint sound of breaking the air, and the box that shook down in the beam snapped open in front of Xia You.
The ink-colored box, with something wrapped in yellow cloth inside, was half-hidden and exposed in front of Xia You.
Xia You's footsteps faltered.
With an unbelievable sluggishness on his face, Xia You turned his head mechanically and looked at the incomprehensible Poison Island Son:
"Tsuko, do you believe in fate?"
