"Oh?"

Denton's words aroused the interest of Shogo Tokiwa.

"What?"

Having said that, Shogo Tokiwa could probably guess what Denton was trying to ask.

Denton at this time was more simple than he imagined.

On the contrary, it is another person, and the mind is much more complicated......

Thinking of this, Tokiwa Shogo couldn't help but squint, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful chuckle.

Denton, who happened to see Shogo Tokiwa's expression, the tension in his heart suddenly increased, he couldn't help but swallow his somewhat dry throat, and said, "Your Majesty, I want to ask, how long can the recent zero mortality rate of the Red Death Disease be maintained?" ”

"There's something, I think you're mistaken."

Hearing this, Tokiwa Shogo, who secretly said "sure enough", slowly shook his head.

"Denton, you know, since the outbreak of the Red Death, I have only controlled Alicia's condition alone......"

Shogo Tokiwa's unexpected answer made Denton's mind suddenly confused.

Meantime......

"Meow~"

You Liuxian let out a cry from Shogo Tokiwa's arms.

Ooh...... Bowing his head, Chang Pan Zhuangwu glanced at You Liuxian and couldn't help but be happy.

'Yes, yes, Lord Youliuxian is right. ’

He tapped the Wandering Immortal's forehead and thought to himself, "Yes, if not limited to the realm of people, he did use extraordinary power on two cats.

It's just that Danton, who can't understand cat language, obviously failed to understand the meaning of the interaction between Tokiwa Shogo and You Liuxian.

And, only then did he recover from the shock he had just had.

"You...... What do you mean ......"

"Heh, what, don't you believe it?"

Looking up, Shogo Tokiwa looked at Danton, who still had a lot of stunned on his face, paused, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and smiled.

"Denton, do you remember the butterflies on Earth?"

Looking at Denton, who was stunned again because of these words, Shogo Tokiwa continued.

"It seems to be remembered, so, I don't know if you have ever observed the process of green worms breaking out of cocoons and turning into butterflies? Hehe, that's a long, hard time......"

As Shogo Tokiwa narrates, a pale golden mist appears above the desk, condensing into a mirage.

In the picture, the camera is facing a cocoon with a small opening, and in the cocoon, there is a butterfly, which is struggling to get out little by little from that small opening, but no matter how it struggles, the situation does not seem to improve......

Shogo Tsukiwa put the wandering fairy on the table, got up, looked at the butterfly in the cocoon, and said meaningfully.

"The situation is different, Denton, after all these years of development, you are no longer the tribe you used to be when I didn't use your extraordinary powers, you wouldn't be able to live."

Denton: "...... What do you mean is that we are the butterflies in the cocoon, and the red death is the ...... that binds us Cocoon? ”

"That's right."

Looking back at Denton, Shogo Tokiwa nodded appreciatively and continued.

"Therefore, you must survive by your own strength, or ......"

With the words of Shogo Tokiwa, it fell.

"Shhhh

A strange voice rang out, instantly drawing Denton's gaze to the past.

I saw that the insect cocoon in the mirage was suddenly violently torn open by someone from the outside world, allowing the butterfly to crawl out of the cocoon easily.

However, the butterfly that was supposed to stretch its wings after breaking out of the cocoon, showing its beautiful body, and flying into the sky, had no beauty at all, shrunken, thin, and its wings were so tightly attached to its body that it could not stretch at all, let alone fly.

There is no doubt that this is a very unsuccessful butterfly transformation.

For the rest of its life, it will only crawl on the ground, with empty wings, but it will never be able to touch the blue sky again.

At the same time, how long can it live like this?

Denton looked at that scene attentively, and with Shogo Tokiwa's next words, he couldn't help but bring himself into the butterfly in the picture.

"How? If you were that butterfly, would you be willing to give up the whole sky just for a moment of relaxation? ”

"-I don't want to!"

Subconsciously, Denton answered instantly.

Shogo Tokiwa smiled.

"Yes, I don't, I don't want to."

With the sound of Shogo Tokiwa's words.

Above the desk, the picture in the mirage, the insect cocoon, the butterfly, as if going back in time, began to play backwards.

Soon, it reverted to the image before the cocoon was violently torn apart.

Shogo Tokiwa's voice continued.

"You are my people, and when you suffer, my heart suffers, but it is precisely because I am your king that I cannot take away this tribulation that you have to go through."

The butterfly in the mirage began to struggle from the inside of the small mouth to the outside again, and its strangulation marks squeezed by the small mouth of the insect cocoon looked extremely painful.

"Denton, I am not a god, I am also a person who has life like you, lives in the same river of time, and one day, I will leave."

Shogo Tsukiwa told Denton frankly that he would leave this world.

"When the time comes, the only one who can help you continue to go down is yourself."

These words made Denton withdraw his gaze from looking at the mirage and look at Shogo Tokiwa.

I saw Shogo Tokiwa walking around the desk and walking towards him as he continued.

"I deeply believe in the possibility of human beings, and the zero mortality rate during this period of time when you asked me is one of the proofs of human possibility—it is the power of the heart, it is the miracle of hope, and your next job is to try to make the hope that we have brought to them during this time real and continue to do so."

At this point, Shogo Tokiwa's tone began to deepen.

"So, go ahead and open up the future, Denton! Instead of praying for unknown mystical powers, we rely on our own hands and wisdom to open the way to the future.

"If it were you, you could do it!

"Just as I believe deeply in the possibilities of humanity, I also believe in you.

"For you are my people!

"So, Denton, do you also believe in the possibilities of humanity, in your own possibilities?"

"It's like, I believe in you."

Shogo Tsukiwa walked in front of Denton, his deep eyes fixed on Denton's close eyes.

In his eyes, Denton saw sincerity, trust, and kindness that did not match Shogo Tokiwa's youthful countenance, but which seemed to Denton now without any sense of disobedience.

"I believe it!"

Denton replied in an unusually firm tone.

From Denton's eyes, Shogo Tokiwa saw respect and trust from the bottom of his heart.

He knew that with the belief that he would open up a future for the world, Denton had become his most loyal retainer in the world.

In the mirage, the butterfly finally broke free from the cocoon, spread its beautiful and healthy wings, and flew around Denton with a golden shimmer, only to disappear as a virtual shadow in the process of flying into the sky.

The butterfly disappeared, but it didn't.

Because it has been engraved in Denton's heart forever.

Next, Denton began to report back.

Then, we discussed the treatment plan for the red death disease with Shogo Tokiwa.

Shogo Tokiwa gave a very instructive idea.

Denton resigned respectfully and contentedly.

Shogo Tokiwa returned to the chair behind his desk and sat down, hugged Yuryusen, who had jumped on his lap again, and looked in the direction of the door.

"Click!"

The door opens, the door closes.

Edith walked in briskly.

And as soon as you come in, you smell of gunpowder.

"The King of Time! Did you arrange Arisia's red death? ”

In this regard, Tokiwa Shogo's eyes froze, and then he only said: "If I say yes, what should you do?" ”
