Chapter 70: Me in the Mirror (Chapter 9, 25,000 words asking for a monthly ticket!) )
The fierce battle has been going on for more than four hours.
No food, no water...... Didn't even stop moving and talking.
The voices of Kasumi and Ice Water have long been dry.
But the two girls did not complain or sigh - they faithfully recorded this war that had been separated for more than a hundred years.
The number of people with the same connection has increased from more than 100,000 at the beginning to more than 14 million...... At this time, it was already after midnight, and the number was still growing rapidly.
Everyone, on all platforms, is talking about this war.
Although a few "I feel like something is wrong with my clock" kept popping up in the middle, they were quickly drowned out by the sound of discussing the live broadcast of the first war in more than a hundred years.
The initial bombing and interception,
and then hundreds of missiles bombarded back and forth,
In the back, the angels locked on to the target and came down to wash the floor like a slaughter.
and as they approached the ground, more than a thousand psionics fought back in an orderly manner......
In the end - escape.
An army of thousands of non-psionic beings, capable of spreading more than a dozen streets.
At the end of the day, it is densely packed with people, reminiscent of an ant nest flooded.
But they were finally defeated and defeated by the seven angels.
- That's a very real "corpse".
Countless people were ignited, torn apart, nailed to the ground, and blown to pieces by that divine and sublime light.
- It is an extremely fantastic "spiritual energy".
All sorts of unimaginable powers can even cause all kinds of trouble to angels. In fact, these seven angels have already suffered more than thirty rounds of fatal wounds...... It's just that each time they rescued their comrades, and after a brief rest, they returned to the battlefield in a satisfactory state.
If you can't defeat all the angels in one go, or separate them. Even if it's just seven angels, it's a terrifying army that is hard to shake.
People have deleted all their attacks on angels, flatly denying that they have ever said anything disrespectful to these "heroes".
Watching the massive rout in the lower city, the voices of the people are getting louder and louder.
The barrage alone has been diverted into 100,000 rooms...... It's just that、The barrage in each room is still densely brushed.,Almost completely cover the picture.。
"That is to say, is it a criminal organization in the lower city, this time it is really going to be finished?"
"I feel like I'm serious this time......"
"If you don't start the live broadcast, you won't play seriously, right?"
"The Executive Department is a real waste."
But there are also people who feel the fear:
"To whom are the angels demonstrating?"
"Does this mean that the church is trying to take control of the company?"
"Can the Enforcement Department fight these angels?"
"It's not going to be like this in Uptown, is it?"
Xia and Bingshui have long had no energy to pick a barrage to answer.
They had been staring at the battle scene that could be called light pollution, and their eyes were already bloodshot.
But at that moment, a defeated deserter found them.
There were not many of them, only five or six people.
But the audience has just seen how terrifying these psykers with murder weapons are.
The barrage suddenly became a dense "escape", "don't look back", "put down the equipment and escape", "don't shoot".
Just from the words, you can feel the anxiety.
For a moment, Kasumi felt that she had come here, and she had indeed come to the right place.
But at the moment when this group of murderers approached, a bright red light flashed.
At an almost indiscernible speed, a figure with a blade in hand quickly flowed through the crowd like a dream, decapitating everyone's heads.
Go back and let the camera see your face in a demonstrative manner.
It is none other than the "heroic" ultramarine.
His face was grim, revealing a hint of ferocity that belonged to a carnivore spirit, and his eyes were even slightly red with anger.
In the firelight behind him, it reflects his majesty at the moment...... It's completely different from the usual amiable and gentle attitude.
This is also the first time that people have seen with their own eyes how powerful this "hero" really is.
All the previous battles were nothing more than boasting in people's mouths. And only then did I see it with my own eyes.
After relieving Kasumi of danger, Ultramarine turned back and left without hesitation.
Only people's boasting and worship of ultramarine's power were left, and they appeared in the live broadcast room as words.
After completing the alibi, Ultramarine immediately returned to the ground as a "barber".
He passed through any of the doors of the "Deer Head" and rushed to the alley where Morgan had died.
But she's gone.
It wasn't the corpse that was taken away, but the whole person disappeared.
There was still blood on the ground, but other than that, it was a dream.
The barber stayed at the mouth of the alley for a long time.
The rain still stopped getting much lighter, and the rain hit his face as if it were tears.
His hair and clothes were wet from the rain, his body couldn't help but shiver from the cold, and he looked gray and embarrassed.
“…… Is that the last side? ”
The barber muttered under his breath.
Like a ghost, he left the alley.
He paced slowly, as if he were obsessed, walking alone in the rain and neon in the second half of the night.
It is an "infinite reincarnation" that can only happen once.
Morgan was transported back in time in three minutes of nothingness...... But instead of going back to the right time, which is "23:57 on July 30", she went back to "00:00 on July 31".
"Obviously, the time of the other empty islands has not changed at all. But when people are deceived, even the spells of the dream world are also deceived......
The barber muttered, "What is the essence of the spell......
And, what puzzled him the most......
Why did the "Three Minutes of Nothingness" have been completed, but he and Bad Day did not go to assassinate Kamalse?
As the strongest assassin in the world, Bad Day can barely make any mistakes in killing those crispy elves.
What's stopping you?
Or rather, what prevents a bad day?
Unless......
Bad Day has long been aware of the truth that time has been reset.
So in the end, he didn't inform Russell of the plan...... Rather, it moved Morgan to the next week.
- It is indeed possible.
Morgan's source of information is Grandma Lan, who has a close relationship with Bad Day. It was probably at that time that he had his eyes on the other party, noticed the unusual behavior, and realized that Morgan could be exploited.
Is that a possibility......
That is to say, in fact, every bad day every week is for Russell's safety, and secretly executes the plan of "letting Morgan be the bait" and waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack.
…… However, he failed every time.
Only this time, Morgan had already come into contact with Russell before he was discovered by Bad Day.
And Bad Day will not refuse Russell's words.
So Russell took the initiative to stand up before the crisis of being completely destroyed by Kamalse......
- The plan has finally succeeded, and the infinite loop has finally come to an end.
But before this incomparably long day, Russell probably wouldn't have had that courage.
It was Morgan who helped him complete the spiritual energy transfer, which made him understand his true nature and put an end to his long period of self-doubt and low self-esteem.
In the beginning, it was Morgan who saved Russell.
After that, Russell's plan with Bad Day saved Morgan.
The letter, which Morgan himself had forgotten, raised Russell's redshift by a notch.
Russell came into contact with this too late the previous week, so he chose to ask Morgan to believe in the "godfather".
Morgan's recognition of the barber made Russell understand his own essence.
So much so that in the end, he had the courage to stand up - to end it all himself.
This is a web of cause and effect formed by countless coincidences and inevitability.
When everyone has courage and trust in each other...... to defeat an almost impossible enemy.
"That's nice."
The barber muttered.
I don't know when, the rain has stopped.
And he was already in tears.
Tears mixed with rain, but they didn't make him sad, they just made him sentimental.
There is only one kind of exhilaration and relaxation.
It's like the college entrance examination is over, and I want to cry inexplicably.
"I'm such a useless crybaby......"
The barber whimpered.
Subconsciously, almost instinctively, he pulled out a dark blue handkerchief from his pocket.
At that moment, the barber's footsteps stopped.
"Keep a souvenir."
Morgan's voice whispered in his ear: "Crybaby always needs to use it sometimes." ”
He carefully wiped away his tears with the handkerchief. Then he wiped the rain on his face vigorously, as if he wanted to wipe off his facial features together.
By the time he removed the handkerchief, the barber's face was already polished.
He literally wiped his features off.
When he raised his face again, Russell's face emerged with a twist and blur.
He stared at the handkerchief, and a pale transparent flame ignited under his pupils.
"And find a part of you...... That's nice. ”
Russell muttered in a low voice, a dreamlike satisfaction in his voice.
As the handkerchief burned out, Russell felt his consciousness fade away.
He looked down at himself, his arms starting to grow and shrink.
The hands of the elderly, the hands of children, the hands of men, the hands of women......
With the last of his senses, he took out the chip that the delphinium had given him with a trembling hand and inserted it into his prosthesis.
He thrust it three times before he barely got in.
With a warm spring that moistened his dry reason, the flame finally spread into the handkerchief.
The world before him shattered suddenly—a sacred and solemn church.
At this time, Russell, who came to his senses, realized what had just happened.
- He almost became a demon.
“…… The minister saved me once. ”
Russell's expression was a little complicated.
He reached out and lifted the red cloth from the latest mirror.
In the mirror, it is Morgan from his teenage years.
She smiled softly and helplessly at herself in the mirror: "It's a pity, I can't become you now." ”
"But there will be a day."
Morgan in the mirror responded with the same tenderness.
"At that point, we ......
"In a warm home, lie down in the sun.
"Feel the warmth of the sun, fall asleep slowly, and dream about him......"
The two muttered in unison.
It's like a girl looking in the mirror, reading a poem to her lover.
I kept repeating it, I kept reading it...... Until the power of the chip is exhausted.
Russell's consciousness exits the Mirror Sanctuary.
It's like the dream is over.
Russell reverted to his original appearance and passed out on the waterlogged street.
