[2. Dance Wonderland]

The gloomy green mountains and red sunset, the vast east of the river. The afterglow dispersed and went to the smoke wave road. Make people worried, Chang'an is far away, where. A few fishing lights are small, and the dock is close to the dock. A passenger sail is low, and the front is in front of the pool.

Secretly thinking about his life, he regrets his mistakes. Jue Ruan's road is poor, and he is hindered. Broken soul Su Yue, a thousand miles, hurt and flat. Strange bamboo branch songs, resentment, for whom to suffer. The ape cries for a while, startling the island. The candle is dark and you can't sleep, listen to the drums.

——Chao Buzhi's "Fascinating Introduction"

[Dark]

The moonlight tonight was quite nice, as clear and cold as the wind, and I felt like I was immersed in a white mist as I stood.

The pale peach-colored girl stood in front of me, as if she was about to melt into this realm. Seeing her back that made people miss her so much that I wanted to cry, I wanted to go over and hug her tightly...... But I can't.

It's good to watch quietly from behind, without sadness, without pain, indulging in the haze of the moonlight, not having to wake up.

But when she turned her face sideways, the silver-stained silhouette was still as beautiful as she remembered. She smiled, still uninhibited, pure.

"Rock Fang. She stretched out her hand to me, and her smile was as bright as the morning glow, and I couldn't refuse.

Slowly passing over and holding her hand, I was silent.

"Why don't you laugh, you've always laughed, whether it's joy or sorrow...... You said, just smile. She gently reached out and took the corner of my lips, close enough to let me smell the cold dark fragrance of plum blossoms.

"But ......"

"Now, won't you come and hug me?" she still ordered me strongly, thinking that I had always been the passive party, and it was inevitable that she would get angry. However, I didn't have the courage to hug her, so I just froze there.

She sighed lightly and finally let go of her hand.

"I've always missed you, even in the most desperate of times......" she stretched out her arms in the silver moonlight, her peach-colored sleeves swirling in the cold wind.

"I've been regretting not showing up when you needed me the most......"

"I never hated you, it's not your fault, is it?" she was as soft as jade by the moonlight's beautiful face, and there was no trace of darkness to be seen. But the more tolerant she was, the more remorseful I felt. How long has passed, so long that I thought I would never remember her face again...... However, I will always remember that she is irreplaceable to me, and that it was I who killed her because of a cold "no way".

"You're begging me for forgiveness......" she stood still looking back at me in the moonlight, her smile tinged with a hint of distress and seemed to be a little sad, "then come here, don't show any more sadness, so I can really forgive you." ”

Is this so, tempting me and instigating me with the most perfect attitude, hoping that I will melt into the torrent of time and forget that kind of pain in Taoyuan Township......

What's so bad about it. I walked over and hugged her, letting her slender moonlit hands wrap around my neck.

"That's right, that's it......" Her hand slowly grabbed my neck, gently increasing the force. I looked down at her, her smiling black pupils slowly turning plum-red, yes, this is the only way to forgive my sins. When the person I love the most is lost, my tragic end is already doomed. This is what I expected, to fall into darkness under the gaze of this red pupil......

A bitter silvery chill enveloped the earth, and I should melt here. I'm going to die because I'm incompetent and can only sacrifice the people I love the most—

I should have died a long time ago. At this moment, I feel the happiness and peace that I have not felt in a long time.

[Ming]

He Yanfang bit his lower lip when he woke up, and the bloody sweetness in his mouth made the dream even more real and terrifying. It was still night, and the faint light reflected through the bamboo curtains, reflecting the cold inside of the house like a prison. The air in the middle of the night was still humid and hot, and the moisture soaked the strong aroma of silver cinnamon outside, but it was sullen and almost dirty.

The smell of blood in his mouth inspires the darkness deep inside, and there is a voice in his head that cries for destruction and liberation, as if it is an alter ego that is about to be torn apart, screaming hoarsely and longing.

Thirst for weeping, thirst for atonement, thirst for salvation, thirst for destruction, thirst for killing, thirst for food, but—

Don't want to die.

The chest cavity seemed to be torn apart, and the blood in his whole body boiled to break through the confinement. But in any case, it was not true, and I didn't want to die.

Fumbling for the white porcelain pill bottle and shuddering out the pill, he swallowed the bitter medicine hard, the bitter taste coming from the depths of his throat.

After a long time of stirring, a feeling of detachment came over him, and he collapsed on the bed, like a fish struggling powerlessly in the dry sky.

As his chaotic breathing subsided, he sat up slowly, poured a small glass of water and drank it, and slowly got up to change out of his clothes soaked in cold sweat.

The silver lines that appeared all over his body still caused pain, and he was careful not to make any noise and walked to the mirror.

The young man with silver scales in the mirror has not changed, but he is pale and haggard, saying that he is one of the eighteen kings of Kyushu in the old era? Who would believe it now.

Taking off his sweaty and bloody clothes, he felt dizzy just by such an action, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and laugh at himself, leaning against the door and forcibly suppressing the violent breath.

(Don't forget who you are, don't forget what you have to do...... After a long while, he felt his consciousness clear, and he exhaled, and went back to the washstand to moisten the towel, using the coolness of the water to drive away the burning sensation of the frantic lines.

(Thinking that your tattoo is not Xuanmei's plum blossom, I feel that you betrayed her...... Suddenly remembering Mingyin's words, he subconsciously turned sideways, and the still uncontrollable prints on his back faintly flashed with silver glimmers between his black hair.

Reaching out and gently brushing up the long hair that had been loosened, the mark of both a gift and a sorrow was fully reflected. The lotus sigil surrounded by the silver snake head to tail was oozing blood, as if it was blooming in blood water, and it seemed to be nourished by the blood of the silver snake.

Is this soul-shaking power that has lasted for life about to be exhausted...... But I don't want to die anyway, I still want to live. He gently wiped away the bloodstains, watched the marks fade and disappear before changing into a single coat and exhaling lightly.

But then I don't feel sleepy...... I took the book and sat back on the bed, and before I started to read it, I felt the phone vibrate on the side, and glanced at the caller ID, and it was no surprise that the person who didn't want to hear it was the last person to hear it. He Yanfang frowned and refused to answer the call without hesitation.

The room was very quiet, but when I opened the book, the phone vibrated again, this time it was an online contact, and it was still the "Sweetheart Oreo" who was upset when I read it.

He Yanfang looked at the information helplessly, and faked "Are you okay?"

I couldn't feel that overwhelming strong aura, and the strongest Heavenly Punisher wasn't around. Despite this, He Yanfang still felt that the terrifying control of the blue eagle gradually grabbed his consciousness again. He replied coldly, "When did you come to Bai Shi", and the other party quickly replied "just now".

I don't want him to take care of it here...... He Yanfang typed irritably, but at this time, the other party began to bombard the short sentences as always, looking at those meaningless words such as "Surprise!", "The air is really bad", "The Baishi branch is really not as good as the headquarters", "Your subordinates are all startled by me", he really wanted to drop the phone.

The guy must have known he wasn't feeling well. He didn't plan to reply, just raised his pillow and prepared to read quietly.

It's not Oreo's style to just stop easily, and after a while, he sent a picture of himself, which is his office in the Future City branch, and the guy is sitting in his place making coffee again.

couldn't help but reply to him, "Get out of my office", He Yanfang felt that he probably had to give up the idea of reading quietly.

Although he was much better, his body still felt uncomfortable, and he didn't have the strength to quarrel with Oreo, so he slowly sent a message: "Do you know what time the demon king is here?"

The other party's answer was still fast: "Late at night, I know, the best time to talk." ”

Who wants to talk to you! When he was disdainful, the other party sent a message again: "This is Xiao Song's request, saying that you are angry today." ”

Komatsu is really ...... How can you tell that guy about this kind of thing? But it will make children worry about themselves like this, also because they are not doing enough.

"If it were me, I'd let that guy die, he wanted to see his sister anyway. Sure enough, he still spoke as a matter of course, and Oreo's toughness was probably something he would never have learned in his life.

Feeling tired at the thought of those things, He Yanfang replied briefly: "That's his sister, it's normal for him to hate me." ”

"You deserve to be angry. The other party replied very simply, Oreo would not understand, he was not the kind of person who would feel guilty. So He Yanfang didn't plan to say anything, for such an exchange, he was always the first to be silent.

But to be honest, Oreo knew him too well, and the call came back immediately.

Finally answered the phone, he looked at the faint light reflected in the house, stood up and walked outside, to the lotus pond in the side courtyard.

With his vague steps, he stumbled to the edge of the pool, the vermilion lotus blossoms and deep lotus leaves trembling in the breeze, still graceful in the light of the pale golden light of the mountain.

Oreo was quite patient, and it was not until he sat down in the pavilion that he spoke slowly: "You dreamed of her again." ”

Every time I heard someone mention Yu Xuan, I would have a nightmare, and then the power of the silver python would go berserk, which was not a difficult thing to guess for a thousand-year-old opponent.

"Boredom, being bound by the dead is a sign of your weakness. "Oreo is still so ruthless, this man is driftwood to He Yanfang, a relief from the past, the Chang'an blood sacrifice belongs to the past, and the career with this man belongs to the present and the future. Oreo hates to dwell on his past, and he finds it difficult to refute it.

Surrounded by a faint lotus fragrance, He Yanfang just leaned on the ochre pillar and smiled bitterly: "Why should I answer your call......

The other party laughed, and his tone was brisk: "You still want me to play the role of a villain to incite war, and I will comply with your expectations." ”

Sure enough, he will never comfort people, he will always be calm and unsympathetic, and Oreo Milton is best at inciting hatred in people's hearts.

This man came to the White World, which in itself caused great pressure on both the enemy and the enemy. If the Empress of the Sky and the Black Water Queen knew about his arrival, they would probably not be able to play this game of infighting calmly. And for the Blue World headquarters, Wang's wayward departure is naturally a big deal, and the most important thing is that this man's patience is limited.

"Why don't you let me solve it, do you really think I can't properly solve this for you?" Oreo sighed, "as long as I take a look, whoever has a conspiracy will be clear, and it will be easier than your intuition and mind reading." ”

These He Yanfang are all clear. Although Oreo doesn't seem to use his brain, when it comes to solving problems, Oreo is indeed more reliable than anyone else, after all, he is a near-perfect powerhouse.

"You don't trust me, and if you ask not to implicate the innocent, I can do it. ”

If you say that, you don't necessarily remember the agreement when you really want to solve it...... He Yanfang refused: "No need, the matter is roughly clear, we can solve it." ”

"That week," said Oreo blandly, "within a week, if you are still bothered by the enemy like this, I will come to your rescue." ”

"Can you stop being so annoying?"

"Shouldn't I have said that? I don't need to remind you of your physical condition, right? If it weren't for your boring self-esteem, I should have come directly to the Demon King Capital. ”

It should be the closest existence, but every time we talk, it brings heavy pressure and discomfort. He Yanfang felt a dull pain in his head, and couldn't help but try to slow down his breathing.

"Can't you suppress it?" Oreo asked, not very worried in his tone.

The more awakened demonic nature can't be suppressed.,My own resistance to medicine is getting stronger and stronger.,If I could fall asleep just now, I guess it would be better......

"It's not good to talk to you again, I'll hang up ...... first" Before he finished speaking, the pain spread like a tide, even if he knew that the other party on the call was an existence that he didn't want to show weakness to him anyway, it was difficult to suppress the rapid gasping when the pain rose up.

"The silver python of 'Soul Shocking' can't maintain a strong will for a girl, it's ironic to say it," Oreo doesn't know how to comfort people, and this weakness is even more obvious when he is uncomfortable, "Don't be swayed anymore, only by killing her can you save everyone, she is your favorite, this fact will only make your behavior more noble." Because of this noble and sad ending, you deserve the respect of all. ”

This guy is in ...... Comforting himself? I couldn't help but gasp and laugh hard, He Yanfang sighed lightly: "It's really ...... Words that match your style. ”

"Am I not right?" continued Oreo, "you love each other, you must want each other to live well, right? ”

Even so, the pain did not lessen in the slightest. He Yanfang felt as if his consciousness had fallen into a swamp, his body couldn't help but slide down the ochre pillar, and his voice gradually lowered: "I couldn't save her, I can't help but regret the pain......"

"It's the stupidest thing to immerse yourself in the fact that you can't change, I've allowed you to be depressed for so long, but you can't live just like this, because of incompetence and end up like this, so get stronger to protect your new lover, or find a strong lover to avoid the worry of protection, you choose." Oreo said flatly.

What a fool to expect comfort from him...... Unable to refute anything, He Yanfang tried his best to suppress the silver scales that spread wildly again, and gradually curled up with pain.

"Love is so painful, I really shouldn't have let you go back to this hellish place in the first place. Oreo's voice was faint, like a tide stirred by blood.

Yes, if he could, he would also want to leave these things alone, and he also wanted to devote his body and mind to a new business, and fully entrust his hopes to this man. But if you don't endure it like this, it won't be He Yanfang. I want to persevere even if I am in pain, I want to face the wounds of the past, and I want to bear something with this scarred back......

"Are you still awake, aren't you awake?" Oreo asked, feeling uncomfortable.

Unable to hold the mobile phone anymore, He Yanfang curled up, his consciousness was calm and difficult to respond.

"Isn't Jean here, what are you all doing......" Oreo seemed to sigh, "Anything, speak, don't faint, or the Demon King will have to be razed by you." ”

Can't be like that...... It was as if the consciousness was slowly tearing apart, and there was something painful and sour near the heart that wanted to burst out of the throat, and it was quite difficult to even make a sound.

Everything is fine, do you want to keep talking......

Looking through the fence to see the swaying lotus leaves, the surging consciousness seems to appear in the girl's thousands of wind and lotus fighting figure, can't help but read softly, like an intermittent ballad: "What if...... I heard you pour out in the morning, the most beautiful ...... That verb, if you die that night...... When I love, I will love bitterly, and if I cannot love gorgeously......"

Poetry in the afterglow. In the midst of the ups and downs of pain, He Yanfang's voice was slightly hoarse, and his pronunciation was vague, like a gentle whisper, but in this quiet night, it was particularly in line with Fenghe's voice.

"Your beauty has slashed me for no reason, this summer...... As long as you stretch out your arms, a miracle lands. In the open palm, there is ...... Your landing. In the palm of my hand, the palm of the lotus, such as the dusk of late summer, faces the pond Qingfen...... In the face of a quietly spontaneously combustible soul, what exactly is ...... Which one, which one will promise me, if you call you by your nickname?"

There was no sound on Oreo's side, everything was quiet. The lotus breeze blowing on his face was cool, his heart was filled with water waves, and the dreamlike poem was recited to the end: "Forever, I will wait for you to parting your lips, opening your mouth, and spitting out that verb...... Whoever has loved will never forget. Whoever has been wounded is wounded forever...... My scars...... It is frighteningly red and has a lotus-shaped shape. ”

After a long silence, when the koi was rippling, Oreo spoke again: "Much better?"

"Well, it's relieved......" Standing up slightly, He Yanfang lowered his eyes again, "Ask you a little question......

"Say it. ”

"I can feel the malice...... But why can't you find an exact opponent......"

"I don't think you can be wrong with your feelings. ”

That's right, I shouldn't be able to look at the wrong people if I have insight into the darkness of people's hearts, even if I don't read my mind, it's enough to judge which people's emotions are wrong......

"You're supposed to see the whole picture, and your disadvantage is that those are guys you know, and you have a subjective judgment about them. ”

There seems to be some truth......

"I love you. The other party threw out such a sentence without warning, even if his consciousness was like floating in the mire, He Yanfang was suddenly shocked by disgust.

"Huh?" he couldn't help but scream.

The other party couldn't help but burst into a successful laugh, and then continued, "You think it's very strange, right?"

It's weird, it's disgusting......

"So what's the matter, you deserve it, you also have today, it's good to die early. ”

It's sad, but it's much more normal...... began to understand what the other party meant, He Yanfang thought vaguely.

"I will never forget your insult to me, and I will definitely ruin your life and ruin your reputation. The one I hate the most in my life is you, but I won't let you die, I just want you to suffer forever, and I want to die......" The more and more excessive words are full of dark malice, but they are normal daily life, "I always say this, and you know it's true, but why does everyone think we have a good relationship?"

"Ah......" finally understood what the other party meant, and although he was still in pain, He Yanfang also showed a sarcastic smile.

"The point is that this is the 'truth'. I admit that I am an enemy to you, and you feel assured, while others feel that because I admit it, because I don't seem to be a bad person, I may recognize my mistake, and our relationship may be mended in confession, which is not a threat in an abnormal environment. ”

That's right, because of the strange atmosphere of the dead, everyone thinks that the enemy is in the shadows, and they don't suspect that naked malice is the source.

"I know what you're capable of, and since I know that you can sense malice, I won't say abruptly that I love you and I forgive you, just admit it, and you'll feel 'yes, this guy does hate me', and I'll do it if I'm a dead person." ”

On the premise that malicious intent will be detected, it is enough to modify the true face of malice a little, but that's it......

("I don't have a good personality with Chongming, and I'm jealous of him......"

"I hate going through the courtyard, and whatever I do will not help, just because I used to be an undercover agent in the Yan Ying Academy...... There will be no more trust, just because I am Ji Chongming who has been in Yan Ying Courtyard!Senior, don't you think so, you and I can't be trusted in this kind of place......

"I don't want to die...... When you are in pain, you will hate you together, why can you live so healthily...... I know it's despicable to think so, but ...... Please, save me......"

"I sometimes wonder what if I really love her, what if I accompany her to fall and be buried with her......"

"I really can't tolerate you no matter what, He Jun. ”

"When I thought that your tattoo was not Xuan Mei's plum blossom ......")

Thousands of words came to my mind, and of course they were all true, but could there be something hidden beneath the real feelings? Will this unreadable kindness of not wanting to peek into the wounds of our compatriots be used by some people with ill intentions?

"What do you have in mind?" asked Oreo leisurely.

"Maybe you're right...... I've been thinking about how I can save as much as possible, but if I want to protect those who are truly cherished, the necessary determination is also necessary......"

It's not that I can't see the enemy, it's just that I don't want to admit that it's the enemy. He doesn't think that everyone here is good, he just wants to start with trust out of kindness.

"If it were you, it would have been easy for this to end, wouldn't it have been?, so why on earth did you insist on the deceased?"

No, kindness is not a bad thing at any given time. Things will drag on until now, just because I didn't make up my mind when I wavered.

"I've always wanted to do something different...... he smiled, "because there was so much blood shed in the Battle of Chang'an, so I wonder if there is a way to save everything this time...... But life and death cannot be both, and this time it will not be possible. ”

Oreo chuckled: "That's decent, you inherited too much weakness from that girl, and you still have to be like yourself at a critical moment." ”

"That's not the case...... He Yanfang retorted, "It's true that I tend to lose control whenever I encounter something related to her, but what supports me is her faith." ”

Even if there is no happiness during this time, even if there is no freedom since the Battle of Chang'an, all this makes sense.

Oreo was helpless: "Okay, I see. ”

The pain subsided, as opposed to the rapid spread of tiredness.

I really want to have a good rest, but I feel that the evil spirit is still gathering with the rain clouds, and there will probably be another fight in the second half of the night, right?

This rainy night seems to be extraordinarily long.

Preview: "Although they always say that they want to investigate, they are impatient until now, and everyone is desperate to get the results!"

"There are no ghost mountain dogs in the Twelve Apostles of the Mysteries, so ...... Who is she?"

"We've all fallen into a trap, we must kill her right away!"

"Since you know that they are the dead, why don't you kill them!"

"They also fled, they are the dead!"

"Stop, do you want to kill each other like the time when Hua Kaiyuan did!"

Confused by panic and rage, and tearing through reason, he saw wild beasts all over the city. I want to save, but in this season of madness, reason can only be defended with iron and blood, it must fight, and it must overshadow the cry of madness with a roar!

"If you want to protect, you have to take control of everything, and you have to make them obey you. ”

"Go ahead, turn the Demon King into your realm, only in this way can you carry out your thoughts. ”

"Fighting is inevitable, and you can issue your edict as long as you're king—"

"So...... Ascend, please fight with me with all my might—with all of them!"

Hates the reality of true red, and the gentle young man with the dream of true green is determined to reach the top as the king-

The next part, the true red scarlet.
