Throughout the night, Huangquan Hirasaka was immersed in the collision generated by this contest of wills.

The sky is spinning, and the sun and moon are not shining.

On the unimaginably distant snowfield, the sky has already collapsed.

Wild samurai and ordination monks.

They laughed heartily, immersed in blood and fighting, and prayed with devotion to each other, grateful for the encounter and the hearty battle.

Above the emaciated face of the Sword Master, a clear fist mark appeared.

And on Luo Lao's body, the sword marks are intertwined, like a snare.

Again, again, again......

Countless times.

They closed their eyes and imagined what it would be like to meet each other.

Smile.

Until the dawn sun sets.

The burly old man looked back at the opponent beside him: "Are you satisfied, Shangquan." ”

The old man let out a shrill laugh, letting him wipe the saliva from the corners of his mouth, and the pupils of his eyes shone with a terrible fire, so dazzling.

"Would you like to do it again?" he said, "and would like to do it again." ”

"Forget it, I'm afraid I'll be tempted to really kill you......"

"Hah, you seem to be able to do it. ”

Juggernaut laughed, "I haven't lost yet!"

I'm not dead yet.

"You're just playing tricks, not playing with you. Luo Lao said disgustedly: "You can't afford to play." ”

"But we can keep playing. ”

"But it doesn't make sense. Luo Lao said, "No matter how much growth and joy you get, it will only increase the pain and sorrow of death, and you should learn to stop it." ”

"So, for the last time?"

"For the last time. ”

The two old men smiled and stared at the dawn rising in the distance.

This is the last frolic.

.

.

When the morning dew wet Huaishi's trouser legs, he saw Luo Lao who came out of the gap, as if he had returned from a night trip, satisfied, with brisk steps, humming a vague song.

See Huai Shi leaning against the corner.

"Are you leaving?" asked Huaishi.

He paused in his footsteps and looked over.

Huai Shi also looked at him.

The expression is calm.

"yes, there's no time to wait. Luo Lao said: "Before death comes, we all have things that must be done, and we can't rest yet. It's me or you. ”

"Where to go?" asked Huai Shi.

The old man said, "Go and finish what was not done back then." ”

He glanced at Huai Shi deeply, "If you feel sorry for it, if you want to repay me, there is only one thing for you." ”

“......”

Huai Shi did not answer.

Luo Lao didn't speak anymore, waiting for him until he shook his head: "I don't want these things." ”

The old man smiled, "Do you want money? I still have money here." ”

“...... It's not something that can be exchanged. Huai Shi said: "You give me a drummer, Yu Bu, overrun state, and now you are teaching me these, Jiyi, help me gain a firm foothold in Yingzhou, and help me make the divinity of the great priest grow." I'm grateful to you, but I can't. ”

"I didn't even say anything. ”

Huai Shi was amused, and couldn't bear the absurdity and anger that rose in her heart, "But what else can you ask me for?"

Luo Xian.

The only concern he has left in the world.

What else could have made him so relentless?

Under the newborn sun, the old man in the shadow stared at the student in front of him and told him word by word: "One day, if everything is irreparable...... Huaishi, please, kill her. ”

Huai Shi was indifferent, "Do you have to want me?"

"Because you are the only one who can kill her, aren't you?" said the old man, "and you are the only one who has made her what she is today, a child of the abyss who is more unfettered than before. ”

He said, "It's your responsibility to kill her." ”

"It's not irretrievable. Huai Shi said: "Even if it is the last ......"

"There's nothing left to say about it. ”

The old man said, "You've seen the end, and after the rookie game, what remains is no longer what you and I can understand......

The so-called solidification, the so-called sublimation.

It's the same thing.

They are all rebellions out of the sea of silver.

If the existence of the Silver Sea is to be regarded as the totality of humanity, then both the Sublimator and the Condensation are unforgivable heretics.

Whether or not they are beneficial to the current situation, both of them are in themselves a violation of the three major blockades, and both are hidden dangers that threaten the existence of the Silver Sea.

Even if it is beneficial to the current situation because it can increase the correction value, and can be allowed to exist, the Astronomical Society has been stuck with more than 100 sublimation quotas every year, and refuses to let go of the mass production of sublimations, all in order to maintain the stability of the Silver Sea.

Taking the initiative to extract a soul from the Silver Sea through technology and means, no matter how cautious you are, it will cause damage to the Silver Sea.

Even if a 'wild sublimator' like Huai Shi breaks free from the subject through various accidents, even if the aftermath is smaller, it is not worth encouraging and advocating.

At the same time, in this process, the sublimation of consciousness into the soul will inevitably bring about influence and change, perhaps most of this change is positive, but change is change, and it is impossible to leave it aside because it is good.

Solidification is also a change.

Just like the sublimation of water vapor from the sea to freeze into frost, such a change is far more drastic and thorough than sublimation, and will even completely change a person's consciousness and thoughts, under the influence of 'temperature', unlimitedly towards the abyss.

It's a drastic change.

The new self will kill the old self.

Monsters kill humans.

No, rather, it is the old consciousness as a breeding ground and nourishment, and the solidified soul created by the abyss devours everything and is born with a new look.

At that time, the solidifier is no longer the original sublimator itself, but just a container containing the essence of hell.

Just being and being will be distorted, and just breathing will destroy the world.

It's like irreversible cancer.

It has nothing to do with morality or profit, it is a hostile relationship that existed in this world before the birth of consciousness, and cannot be avoided or alleviated by any other good reason.

Once Luo Xian becomes like that, then Huai Shi will never be compatible with her.

"Originally, she was moving towards solidified ......"

The old man said, "But she has been changed by you." ”

Huai Shi was annoyed: "But I'm just playing some trivial tricks, a little bit of love, nothing can be changed." Why don't you want to believe that she chose to stay!"

"I believe it. ”

The old man bowed his head, so solemn and serious: "That's why I thank you so much, Huaishi, it was you who gave her the reason to stay." ”

"But it wasn't up to her will......"

He asked, "What do you think she is in now? Is it sublimation, or solidification, or is it hovering at the melting point?"

The answer is, both.

The innate nature of the abyss and the soul of a human being are contained in the same body, and even if there is a stigmata harmony of the heavenly lineage, there is still no guarantee of perfection.

From the day she was born, she had already partially entered a state of solidification.

It's like stepping on the edge of a cliff, partly in hell and partly on earth.

Now, she had left the edge of the cliff, but instead of returning to the earth, she had come to the abyss, stepping on a thin line, and moving forward alone...... No one knows exactly when this thin line will break, or what awaits at the other end of the line.

She knows this.

So she chose to escape, to self-exile, to seek answers.

But there will be no answers.

Exile will not bear fruit.

One day, she will travel the whole world, and then she will find that she can't find the answer.

"When the time comes, everything will come to an end. The old man said, "If the result is the worst ......."

Huai Shi interrupted him, "You know I won't do that. ”

"Of course I do. ”

The old man bowed his head as a matter of course: "That's why I told you." ”

"Otherwise, why don't I go to Xuanniao? Find Fu Remnant Light? Find White Emperor? Even if it's a soldier master, I can find a relationship...... Why did I come to you, Huaishi?"

Huai Shi was stunned in place, seeing Luo Lao's mocking smile.

"What do you mean?"

"It's very simple, Huaishi, as long as I tell you, you will definitely have an inexplicable sense of responsibility, you will definitely not care, and you will definitely take care of it...... I don't believe in promises and promises, but I only have expectations for your foolish nature. ”

He raised his hand and patted the young man on the shoulder: "I believe in you. ”

The world may change dramatically tomorrow, but you can always trust the tool man Huai Shi.

“...... What the fuck is that?"

Huai Shi couldn't help but feel a burst of absurdity.

"On the bright side, maybe tomorrow there will be a solution, right?"

The old man put his hands in the pockets of his tight shorts, and staggered away like any old man who went out for a morning exercise.

"Wait, where are you going?" asked Huai Shi looking back.

The old man waved his hand without looking back.

Tell him.

"Go to hell. ”

.

.

Tianzhu Kavanasi

The scorching wind blew in the distance, making the traveling girl look up at the tragic scenery under the ridge, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's like hell." ”

Beside him, a rickety Tianzhu man was holding on to his crutches and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, "If you go any further, you won't be within the scope of our guide, Ms. Luo." ”

"Ah, it's okay, it's good that you Ancient Travelers can send me here. Luo Xian moved her body and listened to the rattling sound coming from her neck: "Next, I'll just go by myself." ”

"Please ...... Stay safe. ”

The guide swallowed and foamed, looking at the hell below.

INTERVIEWER Most of the people who can come here don't care about safety, right?

Once the most prosperous holy place in the Tianzhu lineage, the Kawanasi Temple...... Now it has sunk into the darkness behind the light of isolation.

Through the faint curtain of light, you can glimpse the monstrous objects wriggling in the darkness, as well as the blood and fire burning in the dim light.

Fifty years ago, overnight, one-third of the Tianzhu lineage was pushed to the brink of extinction, and now it is difficult to recover after so many years.

And the pied piper, the destructive element that caused Kawanasi Temple to fall into hell, has long since disappeared into the darkness.

"To be honest, I'm curious. ”

The guide plucked up the courage and said, "The interior of Kavanasi is a real hell......

Although it is offensive to say this, it is already the place where evil is entrenched. It is not uncommon for astronomy to sink this place into hell one day, despite the opposition of maintaining the lineage.

Over the years, it's not that no one wants to enter it, but it's just some desperate outlaws or simply desperate explorers who want to turn over, and very few people have returned...... But why would someone like you choose to come here?"

"Eh, don't I seem to want to do with those people?" Luo Xian laughed.

"If anything, I'm more afraid of you. The guide replied bitterly, even if the girl in front of him had never acted violently or done any bloody acts, she could instinctively perceive the hideousness and darkness that made people shudder.

She never had any cover-ups.

"Honestly, just dropping by. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Luo Xian said seriously: "But I think that since I passed by, then I went to the place where my father studied back then to take a look, which can be regarded as an alternative spiritual baptism." ”

She paused, stared at the hell in front of her, and whispered, "Besides, I'm curious too......"

INTERVIEWER What is my mother's hometown?
