[2. The Son of the Soul]

I'm on the top of the mountain at midnight,

Redeem the shocked soul.

Feathers dense rain road,

Pave the way of the underworld chosen by the fans.

-

"Run, run!" Teng Xueyao's shrill voice was almost hysterical in the wind and rain. Now he and Paris were both pulled by the spider silk released by Ruan Yanshan and leaped all the way up the mountain, and the silver thread was frantically thrown all the way, and their expressions were as if they were being chased by an invisible monster in the darkness.

"Impossible, this height of mountain ......" How long has it been, the release of spider silk along the way has made Ruan Yanshan physically and mentally exhausted, he had to stop and consider other possibilities, "It's impossible that Huakaiyuan can't be there for so long!"

"Are we in the trap?" said Xue Yao, who stumbled and almost slipped on the hillside as he landed, and whispered as he grabbed the wet trunk of a small tree in a panic.

Trying to remain optimistic in the predicament that was being forced at this moment, Yan Shan gasped and comforted him: "Cheer up, now only we can save ourselves!"

"We're all going to die here......" Xue Yao was already on the verge of collapse, "I can't explain it anymore!"

"But you have to say it, don't you, who is the enemy!" Paris comforted him, "I won't die, I have the mark of immortality!

"But I-"

"You must go back alive and make it clear, go and rescue your brother now, and the truth will be revealed!" Yan Shan kept exploring at all, his expression was full of determination, "Come on, senior, you are an illusionist, let's find out the reason why we are lost, maybe only you can break the game?"

"This is a trap, we will be killed before we can reach Huakaiyuan, and we will be infamous as the dead......" Xue Yao's voice was already weak, full of fear and despair.

"That's why we have to resist," although he was the youngest, Yan Shan still patted him on the shoulder, "Senior, we have been manipulated to this point, we can only do this!

"But the pursuers—"

"I can't explain it, but there must be a way to make them understand our dilemma!" Paris patted the wet trunk of the faintly flowing jade green lines, "Look, this is the power of the cedar, we can trust the cedar, we must be able to explain it!"

"Lord Zhou can't use this to communicate with us, not to mention that no one will listen to our explanation, and explain that the flower blossom courtyard is just-"

"There's always a way to get it across......! Miss Paris, please, it's snowing!" Yanshan suddenly became hopeful, and turned to Paris and pleaded urgently.

"Why?" said Paris, who was pushing away the kudzu vine.

"Someone will understand! If you go up, you should be able to see it, and if you use your massive magic power to attack, you should be able to break through the enemy's barrier, yes!"

"I see. Paris resolutely turned around and pulled the power of her Xenomorph Two—

With the liberation of her sea blue lines, the deep cold storm crashed into the deep black cloud sky, and frost and snow suddenly fell in this hot southern summer!

Falling in the dark tide of the night, fragile snowflakes are constantly melting and infecting in the turbulence, turning into cold droplets on the faces of the pursuers.

"Behold, this is ......" couldn't help but raise his head to look at the silent falling words, Cedar touched his cheek, looking confused, "It's snowing?"

"It's the power of the eldest sister...... Where?" Ivan looked around eagerly, "she wouldn't do it to this extent if she wanted to fight us!"

"'The husband is angry, and the frost flies in June'. (Note)" Dengzhi suddenly made a faint sound, which made Cedar stunned for a moment.

"June Feishuang, "Dou E's Injustice" ...... 'Now it is the dog days, if Dou E is really wronged, after his death, three feet of snow will fall from the sky, covering Dou E's corpse'. The loyal giant Tengu on the side couldn't help but read out the lyrics.

"'In this kind of dog heaven, you will have resentment against the sky, and you will not be able to summon a piece of snow, so you can't talk nonsense'. The envoy raised his eyes coldly, and suddenly smiled slightly and took over the lyrics.

"You say that it is a summer weather, not a snowy day, and if you don't hear the flying frost in June because of Zou Yan? If there is a resentment that erupts like fire, you must feel that six ice flowers are rolling like cotton, so that my corpse will not appear. The words full of grief and indignation were sung by the boy's timid voice, but it added to the desolation, and the cedar followed the prestige, and sure enough, it was the armadillo that usually cowered. At this time, Cedar remembered that he had seen it before, and the Peking Opera Department was rehearsing Guan Hanqing's "Touching the Heaven and the Earth Dou E's Injustice" in the year of the Huakaiyuan tragedy, and the armadillo was a member of the Peking Opera Department.

"Don't shake people's hearts, do you want to exonerate the suspect right now?" said the envoy coldly, his expression irrefutable.

"They...... It seems that somewhere on the mountainside," Cedar didn't answer, but continued to explore, "and didn't go any further...... Why do Yueming and Xuehe seem to be spinning in circles, and so are Chongming's predecessors?"

"My demon is lost...... Ghost hitting the wall?" Ivan asked, widening his eyes, which made Cedar frown.

Although it is equivalent to laying its own barrier in this entire area, due to the large number of people and the large atmosphere, Cedar has no way to determine the condition of each place.

"Catch up with them and let's go. Compared to his inexperience, Noborea is still calm.

Now we can only go to the deepest depths of darkness. Cedar made up his mind to take a step, but at this time, the communication came suddenly, he glanced at his mobile phone, and couldn't help but answer the phone in confusion: "Senior......? You mean—the victims of the Black Temple...... We'll be right away!"

-

"The condition in the mountains...... It may not be good," judging from the whistling wind, Clio was looking out the window into the dark world, and Harden heard Clio's cold voice with unease, "It's probably tonight, it's going to explode after all." ”

"Is it okay if you don't go?" asked Harden as he sat in his rocking chair.

"I'm responsible for you, just report it here at any time. It's finally time for the stomach ache to endure......" Cleo called as he began to activate his talent for foresight, "I need to foresee...... It's-"

"What do you see?" Zhaohua on the side asked uneasily.

"I can only see the future...... I'll have to figure out what's really going on, and that's probably ...... The woman—"

Harden heard Clio gasp and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"Qin Yuan, that blonde and blue-eyed woman...... She'll bring someone to deal with us right away!"

"Isn't she the one in charge of the prison?" Harden was stunned, "She's the dead?"

"I don't know...... It's going to be Zhaohua, don't let Musk show up," Clio's voice was anxious, "Harden, don't quarrel with Cedar tonight, you know?"

"What is he?" Harden was puzzled, "why am I arguing with him, he's now-"

"Obedient, there are other situations......" Cleo's voice was visibly irritated, probably the future scene was too chaotic, and when it came into view, it also made him disturbed, "Sally is also here to stay, let's not scatter the rest of us, do you know?"

"We're all here, senior, can you report everything you see first?Mr. He, they know better, maybe they can understand?" Seli's voice was next to her, which made Harden feel a sense of stability.

"Well, it's serious, I'll have to report it right away...... "Clio seems to be still in foresight," that guy ...... Is it called, the one who always wears that magic scarf?"

"Is the artifact 'Nail Heart Thorn' a dead person?"

"No...... He was probably the victim! The woman who drowned last time was drowning...... Is that so, turning into a snake is not a good kind, and the envoy brother and sister cannot be trusted!"

"Turning into a snake, he has been convincing Mr. He and Cedar recently, and he has to tell Cedar immediately!" Zhaohua suddenly felt bad.

"You call Komatsu, and I'll let my sister go over, I'll have to arrest the envoy!" Cleo paced around quickly, "Black Temple...... No, it seems that the Gu poison is going to succeed!

"The most thorough?" Probably thinking that he had been purified to the limit so far, Zhaohua exclaimed in surprise.

"At any cost," Clio's resolute voice seemed to be cold in the wind, "On the orders of the head of the headquarters, as long as it is for Mr. He, he can be killed!"

...... Is this the rumored iron-blooded style of the Blue World Headquarters, Harden thought in silence, no wonder he was afraid of the name Oreo Milton through the hospital.

In the silence, a short dragging sound of a chair was suddenly heard, and Seli's voice approached the source of the sound: "Senior?"

"'Price'......" It is estimated that the stomach pain began as a side effect of the ability to predict, and Clio's voice suddenly weakened, with patience, "Really...... Give me a pen and paper to note down the features...... Soon, it's two!"

What's the situation...... It was a terrible feeling that I couldn't help, and after Cleo's voice stopped for a while, Harden tried to ask, "Can you take me up the mountain? I can't see it, you can!

"Yes, but wait until the situation on Komatsu's side is stable...... I'm worried that Quiyama Terll is manipulating you, can you understand?" Clio agreed unexpectedly lightly as he spoke, and his weak tone made it difficult for him to refuse.

"Take a picture and send it to Mr. Jean...... Saving lives matters. Clio seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and fell onto the couch to stop using his mana.

"What is it?" asked Harden with a frown.

"Characteristics of the location where the victim was located...... It's miserable......" Clio replied to him in a hurrying tone.

"Wait, don't you think there's a strange aura surrounding you?" Zhaohua suddenly asked, which made them suddenly alert.

Harden wanted to tell the difference, but at the moment the breath of the whole city was mixed up, and under the soothing of the clear pure breath of the cedar, he could not feel the slightest malice.

"It's—" Sally's voice suddenly cut off, and not only that, but the sound of the wind and snow and the commotion that Harden used to judge his position...... It's all gone—

The real death-like silence made him in the darkness have the illusion of death.

"Selie?" There was silence for a moment, and Harden paused for a moment, and shouted tentatively, "Zhang Zhaohua, Hey, Clio?"

There was no response in the dark. Fortunately, he was not deaf again, and at the same time he felt cold physically and mentally, and even he suddenly became afraid: "Dimon, what's wrong with them?"

"Space spells, illusions, I don't know!" Dimon replied alertly, "Take me—"

"No," Harden flatly refused, and then gripped the armrest of the seat unwillingly, "I can't do it now, I'm going to kill everyone's ......"

"But you have to be careful! how can you do nothing?" Dimont became impatient, "even if you have to restrain yourself, it is not a way to be tied!"

Panicked in his heart, Harden still tried to release Mei Zhixia, the power of the mutation hit the surroundings, as if breaking through the invisible barrier, the sound of wind and snow poured into his ears again, and he could feel the cold wind on his face.

"Sally, Zhang Zhaohua, Clio?"

Still no response. He couldn't help but get up and fumble and knock over a chair.

What's going on...... When he was agitated, he heard the sound of cautious and slow footsteps coming from the other side of the corridor, and then he froze like an electric shock, tensed his nerves and pointed the demon knife at the source of the sound.

"Harden, is it only you?" Harden quietly breathed a sigh of relief the moment the voice sounded—

Surprised, relieved, worried, but fresh and gentle, it's a cedar......

“...... Komatsu??—" Dimon was a little nervous, perhaps remembering Clio's reminder.

"Great, you're alright!" Cedar's voice sounded relieved.

"Didn't you go up the mountain?" Harden wanted to confirm.

"Senior Clio informed me that traces of the Black Temple would be found near the mansion, and I came back. There's Ellie on the hill, it's fine. ”

"Traces of the Black Temple......" Thinking of the chaos of Clio just now, the message was probably conveyed to Cedar at that time. Harden pondered for a moment, still puzzled, "Clio and they are all gone, I think there must be some space spell here, how did you find me?"

"Space spells?" Cedar was surprised, "Is there such a thing?"

"Looks like I was deliberately letting you fool me. "If Clio's prophecy is correct, it is a matter of course. Harden smiled bitterly, and only after saying it did he realize that the embarrassment between them had not been eliminated, and if he was still mocking like before, would Cedar be angry......

"What do you mean?" Cedar didn't seem to understand, "Forget it...... Don't worry, I'll protect you. ”

Protect yourself...... This statement is somewhat unaccustomed, Harden was stunned when he heard this, and Dimon became alert again-

"No, this isn't Komatsu, right?

But where is there any way to be sure! He said that he identified himself as a friend in his heart, but what did he know about Cedar?

"Be glad for me, Harden, do you feel it? I can protect you!" Cedar's voice suddenly burst with joy, and at this time it was strange and untimely—

It's like deliberately provoking yourself. But Harden paused for a moment and then nodded and smiled: "...... Ah, yes, that's great. ”

Cedar smiled, and suddenly changed his tone: "Hypocrisy." ”

The atmosphere suddenly became cold, but Cedar continued to sneer and said, "It's obviously a jealous and unconvinced look...... But you can't step on my head anymore. ”

Feeling that something was wrong, Dimon couldn't help but exude strength, but Harden held down the handle of the knife, and Mei Zhixia failed to attack.

Cedar walked over step by step, and unlike usual, this time every step exuded an unsettling pressure: "It's nice to have only you here...... I've always wanted to talk to you, and now I finally have the chance. ”

Facing the direction of the cedars, Harden opened his eyes in vain, trying to feel in the thick darkness.

"Harden, you are not only Zhaohua's goal, but also mine. Cedar's words were soft and soft, and his expression should be as smiling as usual, which instantly made people feel as if the malice just now had never existed.

"I've always felt superior, because you're so strong," Cedar said softly, with a slight irony and sadness in her tone, "I don't say it, but I remember it, you never gave me a good face, did you?"

"Komatsu ......" Dimont couldn't help but sigh, as if he didn't know how to mediate.

Didn't you give a good face...... Harden was silent, just keeping his mouth shut.

"At the beginning, I was sarcastic to pretend to be benevolent, and I usually sneered because I hated me uselessly and enjoyed Mr. He's care, and you can only attract attention through your achievements and temper tantrums-"

"You—" Dimon exclaimed, for he knew what a gentle child Cedar usually was, and he wanted to explain more than he was angry.

"Dimon, let him speak. Harden seemed unusually calm, just said lightly, letting the vines entangle him.

"Harden Jr. ......"

"I didn't do it because of Clio's words, I have ...... Discretion. "It was uncomfortable to be strangled, but Harden calmly tolerated it.

"What's the matter, why are you so well-behaved now?" the next moment the vine threw him out of the window, Cedar's voice still smiling.

Slammed his back against the railing of the terrace, Harden gritted his teeth and barely clung to the railing.

"Harden Jr.—"

"It's fine. Responding to Dimon with surprising composure, Harden felt his condition, and his well-trained body didn't suffer much damage because of his precautions.

"Don't you fight back, do you think I'm too light or do you feel weak?" The dark words approached slowly with the footsteps, and Cedar asked with a sneer.

Harden smiled and tilted his head slightly, letting his face be wet with snowflakes: "I didn't know you were such a person before. ”

"People have tempers, and bullying the weak and fearing the hard is not a real skill. ”

When facing him, the droplets of water on his face melted down his cheeks, and Harden laughed angrily: "Damn, what do you think of people, how do I look at them, they are all strong and unyielding types, who have I ever been soft on?"

"Don't think it's just a joke. Cedar didn't answer, and the vines wrapped his neck and limbs tightly around him again and tightened.

“...... Isn't it too much, don't you say it all......" Feeling uncomfortable, Harden reached out and pulled the vine around his neck, surprisingly unangry, "Brother is against the wall, and he is insulted outside." ”

"Who's brother with you. Cedar just chuckled, ending with disgust.

"It's not nice to say though...... But for me, it's true, what I can bully is the people who tolerate me, and this part of the people ......" Harden, who couldn't see him, still exuded an awe-inspiring aura, "Although I don't say it, I value them." ”

Cedar snorted slightly: "Want my eyes, this is what you call attention?"

"I think I don't have a bad attitude, but I haven't really done anything to be sorry for these people. I've been shaken by the eyes, but do you think I can't do it if I really want to? Like now, do you think I can't do it if I really want to kill you?

"Do you still look down on me, do you know how much effort I put into this day!"

"Aren't you ashamed to say it just to get revenge on me?"

"Do you know how much of what you think is meaningless, in fact, taking up my life!" Cedar roared with a cry.

Is it, is Cedar such a person, usually bearing the blame with a helpless attitude and a wry smile, hiding hatred and determination in the bottom of his heart?

"People like you...... It's too dangerous to get power," Harden sighed, "It's pathetic......"

"I don't need you to mock me!" Cedar shouted excitedly, his tone sharp, "Dangerous? Who is the danger? Relying on his own strength to bully the weak, let alone see the weak become stronger...... I'm just going to be able to wait until the day I come out and prove it to you!"

The response was still silent, Cedar paused for a moment, and still shouted at him with a crying voice: "Do you know how much pain I went through to get this power, do you know how much I want to calm this turmoil? Do you know how much I longed for you at that time, and how much I hoped that you would be the one who stood by my side and helped me get through this difficult time? And you will just ignore me, and still make a fuss at this juncture, and want to gouge out my eyes! You deserve it, Harden Tesla, you deserve to be blind and useless!"

Harden sighed lightly: "I know, I didn't do well. ”

"That's all you can confess?"

"To whom do you repent?" Harden, who smiled slightly, turned into fire and burst out uncontrollably, "Fragile will, insidious mind, and weak imitation, you are nothing more than that." ”

Cedar became furious when he heard this: "It's been now-"

"Shut up," Harden sneered and suddenly drove the force, and the gold-lacquered copper railing behind him suddenly deformed, turning into several red shadow snakes and attacking, "You are not Zhou Xuesong!"

-

No matter where the killing intent is surging, the silent and cathartic ones seem to be killing, killing, killing when they come to the ears.

But at the same time, I can also sense the children's struggling desire to change the status quo of powerlessness, and to make this overwhelming grief bearable...... The intertwined thoughts of oppression and expectation seem to make the marks behind it faintly painful. Of course, the tragedy of the snake's tail will naturally sting the body and mind.

"Who do you want to ......bear all this?" Feeling the restlessness of his own seal, He Yanfang looked straight at the gloomy road ahead, "If there must be a sacrifice, let me come!"

"Can it really end here?" asked Carlos, who followed him.

"It must be terminated. Komatsu is waiting for me, and I can't let him or myself down. ”

"Is that okay, you're the target, you shouldn't have ......"

"What's wrong?" Rushing all the way forward, He Yanfang showed a smile that was mixed with bitterness and sadness, "She is not wrong, she entered the battle formation only because she hated iron and steel......"

Thinking of the cold eyes and cold words for a long time, and thinking of the faces of his enemies and friends in the past, his eyes, which were often embellished with smiles, became sharp again: "Then I want to show you the pure spirit!"

"But it's too late, it's still going to be summoned...... Demon. ”

"So what, the bitter fruit will grow and grow leaves, and it will turn into a thrilling flower of pure evil, but at least this time it will stop a new cycle and let it all be scattered before their eyes. ”

The wind and snow were urgent, and the long night of turmoil was getting to its darkest hour. But the conspiracy has finally been revealed, and it is only because of darkness that the light is more clearly revealed.

So you will not be deceived by the illusion of deception, in this distorted city, kindness may be the most useless thing, love may be the most spurned emotion, but let me prove it, this cobweb pulled by hatred, without love can not be seen clearly!

-

Preview: "You don't understand the meaning of Dengzhi to Zhou Xuesong at all, and you don't understand the reason why Zhou Xuesong is tolerated, you are just superficially jealous of him." ”

"I wouldn't say how well I know him, but you're absolutely wrong. ”

"Are you true or false?"

Words and realities that have been disguised do not disappear without love. And the true voice will come out of nothing, spoken by love. In this flood of doom, tell me why Noah was forgiven!

"Whose blood is bearing it now, through the Courtyard?"

It's as if power is created out of nothing only for those who deserve it, and even words are swept away by the storm in this sea of darkness, but here I only hope you can understand, and for this I must break through the gap here!

It is impossible to determine whether it is the malice of others or one's own distant and great dreams that are manipulating oneself. But sincere feelings will eventually go the same way, I only hope that in any wind and rain, there will be you and me side by side.

Part II, Noah's Ark.

"Puff is angry, June is frosty" is from Don Zhang's "Prison Motto". The following is a quote from Zou Yan's story in the lyrics of "Dou E's Injustice" as follows: Zou Yan was loyal to King Yan Hui, and King Hui believed in him. Zou Zi looked up to the sky and cried, and the sky was frosty in the summer.
