【To the Death】

"Now, Komatsu......" The boy's voice was calm and calm, calling to Cedar softly.

Finally a little used to this kind of communication, Cedar smiled bitterly in his heart, and replied softly: "It's been a long time since I got in touch, Lord Taantris." ”

"I'm sorry. The Demon King Colorless Demon Boy responded without emotion, and the sense of alienation did not diminish at all.

"I have a lot of things to ask you, although I don't know if you would like to answer," Cedar decided to do more for everyone to take the initiative to ask, "can you listen to my question?"

The Demon King paused, and his voice was approving: "You have grown, Komatsu." ”

Still a little happy, Cedar took a deep breath: "First of all, I want to ask about the deceased - if you don't want to say more, any hint is fine......!

"What I can tell you is that the deceased is different, but it is not the same as the rumors, this is a little related to the Blue World Demon King, he and the White World Demon King Aphanis are husband and wife after all. Although the information was not detailed, the demon boy's response was unexpectedly serious, "I believe you can handle it, but you can't rest assured through the hospital." ”

The cedar suddenly conjured up an ancient mansion around him, and the door that opened wide in the darkness poured into the wind, and the dense feathers confused his eyes.

He barely looked out, the black shadow on the top of the dark eaves of the mansion stood gracefully, and the fairy skirt fluttering in the wind rolled out countless feathers, and countless fireflies and blue soul fires and dark black tea petals swirled ominously.

Holding the child, but this is not a send-off Guanyin in any case. Just looking up at the proud figure, Cedar felt her heart throb: "'Shadow of Soul Palpitation'......"

The figure of Zhi Chunyin turned into a flying feather, swirling in the air and slowly turning into a heavy snow sprinkled, smelling the cold aroma of narcissus, Cedar squinted his eyes, and saw the snow-clad beauty standing quietly in the atrium with a silk umbrella.

"Deep Snow Wandering Girl......"

The green lights in the courtyard lined the deep snow soft figure and the graceful and weird, her clothes flew in the wind, the silk umbrella that rotated leisurely lifted a little, and the half-exposed jade face appeared an unadorned and cold and sarcastic smile......

Just as I was about to say something, the deep snow had turned into snow and dissipated, replaced by a paper window reflecting the outline of the cornices, and the figures of young children clearly appeared, and crisp laughter followed-

Hundred miles of hazy light.

The paper window was gradually replaced by a thin curtain, the sound of the wind stirring the bamboo leaves, the bright moonlight curdled like the incense of osmanthus penetrated, the bamboo curtain was slowly lifted, and the thin white figure was slowly revealed, which made Cedar can't help but take a step back.

But the young man outside the window who did not show his full picture stretched out his hand, a good-looking, moonlit hand that seemed to glow, this was the hand that belonged to the Chister Tono Sheng. Still remembering the delicate face and pale pupils that were not childish, Cedar couldn't help but hesitate and stretched out his hand: "Tell me ......"

But their hands did not clasp together, and everything in front of them dissipated into silver cinnamon, and the wooden frame where the utensils were placed was re-conjured, and through the exquisite porcelain and jade, the figures of the two men could be vaguely seen talking to each other, was it Yuzhangjun and Harden's maternal grandfather Li Daoheng?

“...... Harden's grandfather?" Unconsciously made a sound, and one of the men turned around, and the purple-green poisonous feathers flew over the wooden frame, causing Cedar to retreat in fright.

This time he hit the bead curtain, and the crisp sound of the jade beads colliding brought him back to his senses. He turned around, and through the beaded curtain was the beautiful woman who was facing away from him to comb, and her soft-lined hands were putting the first blooming hibiscus flowers on her bun. As if sensing the movement, the silver-white foxtail that the beauty had been hanging down slowly flickered and turned around.

Teng Ji ...... Determined to ask the truth this time, Cedar brushed open the beaded curtain: "I have to ask—"

The strong aroma of chrysanthemums poured into his nose, and in a flash, there was another bead curtain in front of him, and the beauty in the red dress sat on the edge of the window and poured wine on the moon.

This time he tried to run over, but all that was left in front of him was a table full of books, and there was the one he wanted to surpass......

"The evil lord ......" didn't expect to stand directly in front of the evil lord, and Cedar suddenly became scared.

Putting down the scroll, the evil lord looked at him with a smile, his dark brown eyes showing no hostility, and were simply full of momentum.

She stood up and held his face with outstretched hands, forcing him to make eye contact with herself.

"Komatsu, what are you afraid of? The demon boy's voice sounded from behind, and when Cedar turned back, there was nothing behind him.

Realizing that the evil lord had also turned into a Lingxiao flower and disappeared, he could clearly hear the words of Bingyi before his death: "I am very unwilling, it was Yan Yingjiu who finally quelled the disaster...... We only entered the battle because we hated iron...... You wastes who are not even qualified for a blood sacrifice...... The country is left to you to snatch, if you still can't make a prosperous world in the end...... I'm going to curse you, scum......"

This is the origin of all speculation and fear! Cedar regretted that he had not been able to ask about the military etiquette, but at this moment, the demons of the courtyard appeared in front of him.

The smiling envoy, the serious and indifferent Mingyin, the Nine Emperors with their own hearts, and the subordinates with gloomy expressions...... The whole collective does not look united.

"Can you really find out if the dead are different......" Cedar was quite uneasy.

"I'd like to be suspicious, too, so I'm not going to have that many subordinates. The demon boy said this, and there was no silence in his voice.

Now Cedar stood in front of the Nine Giants who were in charge of tracking, and the Nine Giants with weapons in their hands looked indifferent, confronting each other before Cedar could react, and the interlaced blades shone with terrifying silver brilliance, and then brought up blood......

"Stop! you're in—" Splashed with blood, Cedar felt like she was going crazy, so she could only desperately stop the blood-stained blade, "That's enough......!

The blood was scattered, and only the envoy and He Yanfang were left sitting opposite each other, watching all the figures finally turn into chess pieces and land on their chessboard, Cedar was at a loss for a while.

"Mr. He......"

The two people who played against each other smiled slightly, and their long shadows were cast on the screen, gradually conjuring up giant snakes that were biting each other!

This is not the He Yanfang and the envoy he knows, no.

"You need to discern what is real, Komatsu. The Demon Boy's voice rang in his ears again, sending chills down Cedar's body, "This is exactly what I want to remind you, beware of attacks from all directions," the Demon Boy suddenly interrupted his questioning, "You are surrounded by enemies. ”

"What......" Cedar exclaimed in astonishment, and the moment he shook his mind, he was in the middle of a magnificent Colosseum that was slowly taking shape. Seeing the familiar people standing beside him, he wanted to speak, but the surroundings suddenly collapsed!

Struggling with the feeling of falling, he was entangled in the frantically growing vines, and was able to climb up to the suspended stone platform with difficulty.

Gasping and looking around, he saw sixteen suspended stone platforms, including the one he was on, surrounding the two high platforms on which the throne was placed. From him he could see the front of a throne, where Ivan was sitting with a scepter in his hand, with a blank expression and a cold smile.

“...... Ivan?" Watching the pastel-colored giant monster take shape beside Ivan, Cedar spoke blankly.

"The Primordial and Ultimate Synths designated by No. 1 are the strongest synths that are established, and the other synths are all made by the primordial synths 'Kasumi', and are given the mission of killing and competing with their kind, including the No. 1 designation. You have now rallied some of the synths against Ephinis due to the efforts of the Silver Python and the White Mist, but you have forgotten that in addition to the eighteen synths, there is also a judge who has been tasked with monitoring the killing and driving the synths to fight each other, the Synth Hunter. He's already killed Superbreed Three. The demon boy slowly narrated, this is the white-robed man who Cedar also saw, and he remembered that it was the Ghost Mountain Dragonfly.

Retracting his gaze, he saw the black-‖ demon dragon slowly and arrogantly spreading its giant wings and nine heads diagonally opposite, and the demon dragon was guarding the ruthlessly smiling Harden. It is because he is strong and familiar that he feels Harden's reliability, but he is so unfamiliar with Harden who is full of murderous intent, he doesn't even have the courage to meet those dark red pupils.

"Why......" He said in confusion and panic, and turned his helpless gaze to the side, where he stood He Yanfang, but He Yanfang also looked cold, the dark eyes that seemed to be sucking the soul could not see half of the usual affinity, is this still the idol he yearns for......

Dodging He Yanfang's gloomy eyes, he saw that opposite him was the contractor of Superbreed Five, Harden's sister Maryth. The short-haired heroine who was haunted by the golden light was like a goddess of war, but he couldn't see the friendliness to himself in those eyes full of war intent and confusion.

Then he saw the godless Xia brothers beside Maryth, Klute with his hands in his pockets and a bored look on his face standing behind them, and the green jade flower that spread wildly was so strong and terrifying no matter how many times he looked at it.

Subconsciously looking to the left, Abel also looked at him helplessly and confused. Maybe the two of them are the ones with the most consistent emotions, equally weak and equally dazed.

Being put in such a confrontational environment, Cedar finally became scared. Only then did he hurriedly look behind him to find his support: "Dengzhi-"

Behind him danced, but he didn't say a word.

"It's only the interests that keep your existing relationship going, so be careful, Komatsu. The demon boy said without pity.

"No, we're friends!" Apparently convinced, Cedar felt his voice tremble. He looked at Harden, but the Harden who usually laughed with him wasn't there.

"There will be a battle between the synths, and there should never be an intimate connection between the contractors, otherwise it will be you who will be harmed, Komatsu. As my confidant, I want you to be stronger, so don't hesitate, can you do it?"

"What do you want me to do? You should tell me! To me they are no opponents to kill, absolutely not! What is the point of fighting each other? What can one man do with his strength?" Cedar felt angry, his mind now confused.

"I'm not expecting you to do anything for me, it's all your own business, doing what a synth contractor should do, that's all. The demon boy's voice slowly became smaller.

"Wait! You haven't made it clear yet, you can't go!" Cedar didn't know how to keep the Demon King, he could only shout, "You don't really care if I live or die, do you?"

"Do you still need to ask, check it out, fight. Suddenly hearing Harden's unhappy voice, Cedar sat up suddenly.

They sat in the dining room, a gray world shrouded in mist through the carved windows, and the light rain continued to fall, and the coolness had stubbornly continued to be annoying.

"Cedar, are you having a nightmare?" Zhaohua looked at him with concern.

“...... Sort of, my demon lord said something brainless to me. With a headache, Cedar took the tea Abel had given him, "Thank you." ”

"Remember, that guy from Qingyu went berserk just now, and we're waiting for a meeting now. Harden stirred the lemon juice irritably.

Suddenly being patted on the shoulder by Cedar, he glared at Cedar unhappily: "What are you doing?"

Cedar smiled at him, "It's okay...... It's great to think you're a companion, everyone is ......"

Harden looked at him in confusion and didn't speak.

Looking at them, Jean, who was sitting quietly on the side, also smiled slightly.

"It doesn't seem like a good dream. He spoke softly to himself, his inorganic pupils darkening slightly.

Clio glanced at him and nodded slightly: "We are all pawns thrown into the game of survival, and no god cares about our life or death. For us, the greatest consolation is the ...... of our companions"

However, none of them was sure how strong their alliance was. At least for now, no one can be convinced.
