Chapter 779: The Future
There was a cracking sound in the sky.
It was like the ceiling of the years was wailing, and dust was falling.
Toshio walked blankly in the smoke and haze, staggering, there seemed to be a voice in the distance, someone was shouting, he opened his mouth to respond, but he couldn't make a sound, as if he had swallowed burning coal, and when he opened his mouth, he felt the charcoal fire ignite in his throat.
He tried to gallop with his feet, but there was no sign of the shouter.
Only half of the bodies were buried in the rubble.
Aunt Uchiyama, Uncle Banto, Uncle Mochida, Yuda, Ayano, Yoshiko, and Sata...... Everybody's dead.
Maybe he, too, is dead, he's already in the afterlife.
That's why I'm so lonely and so sad.
But he just wanted to talk to someone, even if there was a living person, even if someone told him not to be afraid, he could continue to breathe, and his heart would have a reason to keep beating.
In this way, numbly passing by a mutilated corpse, he staggered forward, stumbled, and cried silently, but no one answered.
Until in the ruins, there was a hand, which twitched with difficulty.
Toshio froze in place, even thinking that he was hallucinating, but the hand was clearly twitching in pain, as if he was struggling in a nightmare.
It is indescribable the ecstasy of that moment.
There are still people, and there are still people alive!
There are people in this hell besides themselves!
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"
Toshio rushed up with a rolling belt, screaming hoarsely, imagining everything he wanted others to say to him, trying to comfort him not to be afraid.
The boy dug through the dirt in front of him with all his might, pushed the fallen slate away, gasped, and froze in place at the sight of the dusty face.
"It's ...... you"
Toshio knew that face.
Wai paper amateur.
The murderer who killed his cousin brought him all the unfortunate demons, the extreme way of doing all kinds of evil.
He's alive.
But why?
Obviously, everyone is dead, even Aunt Uchiyama is ......
Toshio lowered his head stiffly, he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't understand it, but he just ...... It's hard to restrain anger.
When he came back to his senses, he had already held a broken steel bar in his hand.
The childish expression gradually distorted.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault...... It's all your fault...... Obviously everyone is dead...... If my cousin hadn't died, Auntie, even to my aunt ......"
This must be God's arrangement, right?
Toshio's hands trembled, trying to press the sharp cut against the man's throat, "I want to ...... Kill you......"
However, the tears couldn't stop flowing, drop by drop, falling on the back of the hand.
"I, I ......"
He choked.
I'm going to avenge my cousin.
Such a thing cannot be said in any way.
It's not his fault, his cousin is the damn one, it's not his fault that it's like this here, he didn't do anything. Auntie is just out of luck......
I just want to hate, I just want to find someone to hate.
In this way, you can live, and you can live a little ...... Clear conscience.
But he didn't have that courage.
His trembling palms could no longer hold the weapon, and he knelt on the ground, covering his face, crying silently, almost out of breath.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" the child choked up and pleaded humbly, "Please don't die, please...... Whoever it is, please save him......"
"Are you there, asking me for help, little ghost?"
A hoarse voice rang out, and the blood-stained palm lifted and pressed against his hair.
"Don't be afraid. β
The dying man opened his eyes and whispered to him, "I will protect you." β
Toshio stared at him blankly, feeling like he saw a fool.
I don't understand what he's thinking.
Maybe you're crazy, right?
It doesn't matter.
He shook his head numbly.
This world has long been abnormal, it doesn't matter if you're crazy or not, everyone will die in the end anyway......
In the silence, Huai Shi wanted to support her body, but her broken left arm could not complete such work, and she could not even lift it, which caused choking and suffocation in her heart.
It was a broken rib stuck in the lung.
Leaning against the ruins, he struggled to raise his head, staring at the dark sky of hell, bathed in the rain of dust.
He could see that countless deaths were slowly rising, diffusing and disappearing.
Shao Si's silent sorrow.
Huai Shi lowered her eyes.
I can't save you, I'm sorry.
But they still have a chance......
All this can be reversed.
"Kid, have you ever taken music lessons?"
He muttered, like a dream, "In school, everyone gathers together, follows the teacher, happily jumps around the piano......
Sometimes it's noisy, but sometimes it's very well-behaved. Sit together in chairs, listen to the sound of the teacher playing the piano, and sing loudly. When singing, everyone smiles happily.
That's when I'm happiest......
Those melodies are so beautiful, as if they have a soul, as long as you listen to them in pain, you can find comfort. They are my friends and I hope to be able to introduce them to you one day. β
"So, don't be afraid. β
Huai Shi whispered: "You will not die here, you still have your own future." β
You will struggle with your studies and work hard for your exams. Listen to lectures and answer questions, or cheat quietly. Lying on my desk in a sleepy afternoon, watching the hustle and bustle of the playground outside. Imagine which girl will hold the hand when the flowers bloom......
When running on the playground, it sometimes rains very lightly.
Laughter and noise could be heard in the distance.
It's so soft, like everything will melt into the warm sun.
Everything that once was, those bleak lives, busy studies, and painful struggles, now when I recall them, they are beautiful and dreamlike, and they have become peaceful and fulfilling.
You will have such a future.
Every child deserves such a future.
At that moment, there was light, emerging from Huai Shi's hands.
The book of fate in the soul unfolded, and the pages engraved by miracles appeared, and the mournful divinity was surging, and the gods in the shadows wept silently.
In front of him, the phantom of Kirihime reappeared, looking down.
"Is it decided, Huaishi?" she asked, "will you give up the transformation of the Great Priest's Command, and sacrifice the precious miracle seal for it? β
"If miracles can only be limited to me, there is no meaning of existence, right?" Huai Shi looked at her and laughed: "The essence of Tianwen is sharing, isn't this what you taught me?"
"Give them a chance. β
Huai Shi said, "You don't have to be like me." β
There will be people who will lend a helping hand to them.
- There should be miracles in this world.
He smiled and closed his eyes.
In an instant, light and shadow reversed.
When the door of the Bone Sanctuary opened, the weeping young man in the shadow opened his eyes.
On the cracked earth, among the collapsed ruins, countless greenery sprouted from the ashes, accompanied by the spread of the crows like a tide, and the vast light of divine incineration rose to the sky!
Illuminate hell!
With the dissolution of the 'Miracle Seal', a solemn and sacred aura emerged from the deepest part of the Bone Sanctuary, and a quiet darkness rose like an ocean, soft as mist, overflowing from it.
The mercy and mercy of the gods reign on this land.
The darkness that was so different from hell spread, spread, spread, and carry the divine will, running in all directions, until it swallowed it all.
Envelop the entire inner circle of Tamba, enveloped in it!
In the deepest part of the Bone Sanctuary, Huai Shi lowered her head, stared at the cello in her hand, slowly raised her healing arm, and clenched the bow.
And so, a compassionate and quiet melody sounded from the deepest part of this dream.
It echoes in everyone's ears.
Aria.
The G string whispered, causing the gentle melody to flow like a spring, hovering in the ears of every weeping soul, turning into a bridge, sending this blessing and favor from the gods equally into all suffering.
There is no distinction between them.
Under the guidance of the mighty crows, the miracle of Shao Si's life ran on the earth, sprinkling the glow of redemption.
Through a thousand pairs of eyes to gaze at the suffering of the earthly world, through countless ears to listen to the sorrow of hell.
Huai Shi raised her eyes.
To empathize with the overwhelming despair and pain, and allow them to melt into their souls and stigmata, and drown themselves.
In a trance, it was as if an apparition of the past appeared, staring at his face, and the voices of those memories echoed in his ears.
"Please, Paper-kun......"
On the hospital bed, the dying man held his hand so hard: "Everyone...... Please......"
Under the sun, the young man with dyed blonde hair smiled awkwardly: "It would be nice if I could continue to go to school." β
Ryuji Chiba mockingly looked down: "You want to make them better, but do they really want to?"
"But even if it's a rat's boat, it can save more people, right?"
Ueno, who was in the driver's seat, turned his head and smiled firmly, "It's not just me, all the people in the Huai Paper Group believe this!"
If you're the boss, you can do it!
Huai Shi laughed helplessly.
Since when did the people around you have such huge expectations of themselves, as if they had really done something amazing?
It's as if you can really be a hero who can turn the tide......
Then, please trust me......
Huai Shi closed her eyes and let the vast divinity and the vast despair engulf her. Just smiling, unreservedly, giving all the power to everything in front of him.
At that moment, in the ivory tower, in Russell's arms, a sleeping black cat opened its eyes and looked into the distance.
Russell was smiling, reaching out, stroking its fur: "Go, child, your master needs you, it's time for you to appear." β
He let go of his hand, letting the black cat in his arms break free from its restraints, step onto his desk, and step forward, dissipating into the void to the place where the call had been heard.
The cat named War appeared beneath the heavens of hell, its amber eyes shining brightly.
The Code of War is here, and blessings from heaven are blessed in the hordes of Hell, and the soaring Iron Ravens are in their final metamorphosis.
At this moment, 1,714 Yin Souls descended into hell!
In the melody of self-compassion, the glow of miracles fell from the sky and came to everyone, with the words of Shao Si Ming and the power of Shao Si Ming.
"I'm a paper amateur. β
"I'm here on behalf of those who want to lend a hand, to save this. β
He said, "My name is Huaishi. β
"Please, don't be afraid, I will be by your side, and the sun will rise again. β
"Don't go to hell, don't give up. β
"I promise that everything will change and we will have a future. β
"Ours, bright, future. β
The future β
.
"Come on, your opponent is meβ"
Under the heavenly dome, in the midst of helpless cries and wails, angry roars burst out, and Lu hissed.
The majestic knight roared, rode his horse, and rushed into the array of slaughter, slashing the iron light in his hand, tearing and breaking the surging flames, blocking the already inhuman slaughter.
Strong winds and torrential rain roll backwards and spread.
"Run, old man. Without looking back, the knight said to the old policeman beside him, who was paralyzed, "Run to the north, where there are still people resisting." β
The old man hugged the child in his arms tightly and nodded vigorously.
"Thank you, thank you. β
He staggered to his feet and limped off into the distance.
Very good.
Then it's just yourself and the enemy.
"Lou, let's do it again!"
Beneath his hideous visor, the boy grinned and tightened his grip on the reins, and Ryoma roared excitedly, his iron hooves striking the earth, sparks bursting from the ashes and rain.
The lone knight roared and stepped forward, facing the myriad of converging shadows.
But this time, a huge iron crow descended from the sky, flapping its wings vigorously, and followed behind him.
"You want to be together, too?"
Yuan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Don't be left behind." β
Iron Rider stands out!
The long tassels are like fire, lighting up the dark hell!
.
"I'm a shark man!!"
Ueno, covered in steel light, roared, holding two machine guns in both hands, and opened fire in front of him: "Come on, come on, you bastards-"
Just in front of the open intersection, relying on the firepower of only one person, he suppressed the other party behind the ruins and couldn't raise his head.
"Hey, Ueno, don't overdo it!"
Behind the scarred SUV, a head came out of the mountain and roared angrily: "Be careful what to do if you are injured by mistake...... This way, this way, the old man and the child go first, don't bring anything, don't you fucking hear?"
The rough pole flew up with a kick and kicked a guy out of the ranks, yelling at the trembling men, urging them to hurry, faster.
"Pass through here, go forward, someone will pick you up, don't look back...... Hurry up!
One by one, they were pushed behind the narrow barricades, behind which the surging crowd staggered and ran on the road illuminated by the firelight.
But in the chaos, when Yamashita turned around, he found a familiar face, the head of the Jinchuan Society, and the group of embarrassed fugitives behind them.
"On the ice, why are you here!"
Yamashita was furious and his eyes widened: "Did you run away from the Ochiai family?!"
Bing shook his head, his burned face twitching, and blood and tears flowed from the corners of his cracked eyes.
"At the foot of the mountain, there is no more ...... in the Luo, Ochiai family"
"What about Mrs. Ochiai?" Akasaki-sama!" Yamashita gritted his teeth and punched him in the face in annoyance: "Just you ran out!
"I want to stay, Yamashita, and it was Mrs. Satoko who ordered us to bring our women and children here. β
The only remaining one-arm on the ice grabbed his hand, did not dare to fight back, bowed his head and begged: "Please, down the mountain, let them go first, and tell me to do whatever I want." β
"Damn, I'm going to have you to in! Yamashita pushed and kicked the guy over, waving at the panicked refugees: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
In the distance, the roar of explosions erupted.
In the distance, a fire rose into the sky, illuminating the pale faces of the mountain.
That's the direction of the Ochiai family......
.
The cacophony of voices outside the walls was getting closer.
In the empty hall, Yuriko Ochiai looked around Xiao Suo's scene silently, and smiled helplessly, the family that took over from her late husband could not escape the fate of destruction after all.
Only at this time could she tiredly support the box next to her, sit on the ground, and look at the photo hanging next to her.
In the photo, the couple under the shade of the tree snuggles up to each other and smiles sweetly.
"I'm sorry, Ah Zhong, I can't hold it anymore. Yuriko sighed and covered the wound in her abdomen: "The mess you left behind is too embarrassing." β
No one responded.
The gunfire was getting closer and closer, but then there was a roar like a rabid dog, roaring, ramming, and then the gunfire rang out again, and soon, it was silently suffocating under the iron fist.
Only the closed door was pushed open with difficulty.
A bloodied figure staggered in, knelt on the ground, and when he saw Yuriko Ochiai, he seemed to be relieved and smiled reassuringly.
Yuriko was stunned, "Akasaki, didn't you leave?"
"Already, I can't walk......"
The man covered in bruises propped up his body and shook his head slowly: "I am a lackey raised by Miss Satoko, so let me accompany you." β
"What a stupid thing to say, Akasaki. Yuriko Ochiai shook her head, full of relief: "Today, you are an out-and-out man." β
"Is that so?"
Akasaki was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and laughed, and couldn't help but want to cry.
To be able to be raised by Miss Yuriko, to be able to protect her for so long, to be able to become the man she recognizes.
It's so nice.
"It's so big, it's still a crybaby. Yuriko Ochiai sighed and beckoned, "Can I come here? β
"Okay. Akasaki's arms propped up his body, and he moved over little by little, and sat next to her, just like when he was a child.
Yuriko stroked his hair: "Are you scared, Akasaki." β
"With you, don't be afraid. Akasaki smiled, shook his head, and whispered, "It's just that I really want to drink beer again." β
Once again, I recalled the smiling faces on the streets that day, the laughter echoing in the malt fragrance, and the happy expressions of those children bouncing up.
With insignificant regret, he closed his eyes.
The door roared open again, and the slaughterers outside the door drove straight in, only to see the mother and son clinging to each other.
Holding the sleeping child in her arms, Yuriko Ochiai looked up and stared contemptuously at the intruders in front of her.
I pressed the button in my hand.
In the violent explosion, the fire, the light engulfed everything.
Β·
In a trance, Tomoko's crying was heard, and someone hugged him. By the time I came to my senses, everything in front of me had turned into hell.
All of them died, dead in mad ghosts, dead in their own hands.
"That's enough, Maki, that's enough...... Don't do it again, Mother she, Mother she's dead. β
The tearful girl hugged her back and woke up the mad demon.
In a pool of blood, Maki looked up blankly and saw the corpses in front of him, as well as his own hands stained with blood.
All of those people died.
Killed by himself.
No matter how much you scream, no matter how much you beg for mercy, you won't use it again. First a punch, then another punch, and the corpse under his feet turned into a mess of mud.
Regardless of the bullets hitting his body, he didn't seem to feel pain, but for some reason, he couldn't restrain his tears and cry.
Maki lowered her head and stared at the hideous reflection of the demon in the murky water.
The bones are exposed, and the blood is dripping.
That's herself.
But no matter what she does, Aunt Omi will never come backβthe woman who took her in like that, the gentle mother who treats outsiders as her daughter, is dead.
She fell to her knees weakly, hoarse and screaming.
Silent crying.
In the silence, the huge iron crow slowly folded its wings in front of her, and its long beak poked out softly, like a gentle palm, caressing her hair.
So, in the glow of the burning, that familiar figure emerged, like a miracle.
It's a dreamlike reunion, but Maki finds that she can't smile and stretch out her hand as she imagined.
"Are you in pain, Maki?"
Miss Suzi lowered her head and asked softly, "You seem to want to give up, I don't know how to comfort you." β
"I don't know, Miss Suzi, I can't figure it out anyway......"
Maki choked weakly and looked at her blood-stained hands: "Miss Suzi...... What should I do?"
"It's easy, Maki, you have to make a choice again - just go down, or keep going. β
The phantom of the memory crouched down, put his hands on her cheeks, wiped away the blood and tears for her, and gently told her, "You don't have to chase other people's phantoms, you don't have to be like everyone else, Maki." There is someone standing behind you, and she hasn't given up on you yet, so you can't give up on yourself. β
Stared at by such a trusting gaze, Maki couldn't help but cry, crying like a child who had finally found a home.
"Miss Suko, I've ...... I don't want to see any of my friends die in front of my eyes anymore!"
"Then stand up, Maki, and go fight your enemies. β
The god who belonged to her, stroking her long hair, told him solemnly and solemnly, "I will testify to you, Maki, that you have not fallen." β
She said: "Your war has just begun. β
With her words, the last divinity glowed, turning into a glorious silhouette that melted into the shattered shell.
Heals pain, heals the body, and finally becomes one with the soul.
This is a gift from Shao Si Ming, a miracle that belongs to her alone.
- Heavenly Genealogy: Stigmata [Shade]!
Under the glow of the rising light in the distance, the girl who had turned into a demon raised her head, wiped away her tears, and stared at the suffering world in front of her again.
And the enemies who are gradually approaching in the distance.
The Raven spread its wings again, turning into a flaming, heavy axe blade that fell into her hands.
Clench.
"Don't be afraid, Tomoko. β
Maki slowly got up and stood in front of the girl behind her.
She said, "I'll protect you." β
This time, I'm not going to give up again-
Her story and her story have just begun!
Behind them, above the gloomy sky, a silvery glow rose.
It was a flock of crows flying with their wings spread.
It's like a little starlight descending on this dim world.
They swept across the shattered sky, the cracked earth, and the ruins, illuminating the corners of the mouths of the old men who had passed away, and the smiles of serenity. Guiding the confused soul and soothing the tears of pain.
Eventually, he landed in front of the helpless and lit up those dim pupils again.
Dispel the darkness.
Tears will flow, all pain will pass, and despair will be exhausted.
From the dark world, a flame was rekindled.
In the midst of this hell, countless unwilling eyes opened, devoured despair, rose from their pain, and roared at the enemy in front of them.
They are still alive.
Not dead yet.
So, haven't given up yet!
Brilliant flames rise from hell.
"That's right, Huaishi, that's right!"
Before the projection of the dragon flute, Russell had already clenched his fists and his eyes widened.
"Don't worry, don't hesitate, don't be afraidβyou are the hero of Heaven, the heir of Heaven, the agent of the last remnants of the Ideal Kingdom. β
"You will never be a loner. β
He muttered softly, his eyes glowing with joy, "You are, the sun of the future!"
No matter how deep the darkness is, the hero will also stand in a place that is more glorious than anyone else, which is desirable.
"See, Isaac!"
He murmured fervently, "Our sun has risen!"
What belongs to us belongs to the future...... Sun!
Your time has ushered in a prelude, Huai Shi.
Now, go to them, to Hell, to show the world that the light of the Ideal Kingdom has not been extinguished.
Utopia still exists in the world!
