"Here, where is it?"

The sky was filled with pure white snowflakes, and the night sky was frighteningly empty.

"Me, am I dead?"

Edward muttered to himself.

Driving the Sword of Calamity again and again, forcing himself through the rift of time and space again and again, finally, should he pay the price for his willfulness?

"Why can't you move...... Am I dead?"

Edward asked stupidly.

Ah, but, how strange, why do I have no idea how I died?

Did I accidentally fall into the Void and die, or could I not withstand the strangulation of the turbulence of time and space and was torn to pieces?

Edward smiled self-deprecatingly, put away his useless thoughts, and observed the movement around him.

Floating in mid-air, the whole world has no other colors except the white of snowflakes and the black of the night sky.

In a black and white world, Edward floats in mid-air like a soul. I couldn't feel the biting of the wind, nor could I feel the coldness of the snow, so the camera locked on, locked on the two poor little girls.

They...... Who is it?

"Sister, give it to you. The girl took a small piece of hard dry bread and handed it to her sister.

"I'm not hungry. ”

"How is it possible, you haven't eaten in two days!"

"Aren't you the same? ”

"Hmm...... Okay, let's be half of us!"

"Good. ”

Laboriously breaking the bread, the two sisters looked at each other and smiled, and ate happily.

Stay with each other and warm each other with the temperature of your body. They have survived many, many bitter winters like this.

But who were they, and why did they appear in my dreams? Edward couldn't figure it out.

And...... Are you dead, or are you dreaming?

Immature faces, unable to distinguish their identities. Edward was surprised to find that he saw two familiar shadows on the bodies of the two little girls.

In the black and white world, there was only a little red left in their eyes.

Jet-black hair, blood-red eyes, snow-white skin...... Unlike the indifferent and ruthless mainlanders, they are full of a beautiful thing called innocence.

They. Seems to be someone Edward knew.

"Ahhh

After a severe headache. The scene in the lens is changing.

In the blink of an eye, the snow stopped.

The scorching sun hangs high, the branches are luxuriant, and the blooming summer flowers compete for beauty. Too many beautiful things. It's a pity. In a world where there is only black and white. No matter how beautiful the flowers are, they look so pale and boring.

"She's ...... That little girl's sister just now?"

Observing everything in front of him like a movie, Edward asked in surprise.

The sister who shivered in the cold wind did not appear in the camera again, and her sister was gone. Now, only the thin sister is still strong in the face of the cruel life.

"I'm sorry, you may not understand it right now, but one day you will know that your sacrifice is worthwhile. A few guys in black robes approached the poor little girl step by step, "The God of Light chose her, not you, so, you ......"

"So, I'm forsaken by God?"

Unexpectedly, the girl did not feel the slightest nervousness or panic, but calmly looked at the few guys with sharp blades.

"It's not abandonment, it's sacrifice. The other party corrected.

"It doesn't make a difference, from the moment you took my sister away, I was abandoned by the God of Light. ”

"Nasty girl...... Hey, don't wait any longer, get her done!"

"Good, good!"

"Stupid humans. The elder sister looked coldly at the human who raised the long knife and slashed at her neck, her eyes full of disdain.

Abandoned by the God of Light?hmph, these stupid humans don't deserve the favor of the God of Light at all, their actions are nothing more than wishful thinking.

Compared to you......

"Compared to you, the demons are 10,000 times kinder! I'd rather be a brainless demon than call yourself a human with you idiots!"

The small body burst out with great power.

If her voice could be converted into magic for her to drive, then she would surely be able to wash the whole town in blood.

"You say, you don't want to be a human, you want to be a brainless demon?" a strange voice sounded.

......

The long knife left a bloody wound on the girl's chest, and she fell to the ground in agony, dying.

But instead of closing her eyes, she stared intently in the direction of the voice.

"Do you want to keep living? Not as a human being...... If you want, I can help you. ”

As if the temptation of the devil, on the verge of death, the little girl calmly accepted the other party's invitation.

"I do. She replied lightly.

"Oh well. ”

The demon nodded happily, as if he had found a treasure, and killed the black-robed guys with satisfaction, and then took the little girl away.

"Hey, you pervert, who are you? Y-why do you look so much like me...... I, ahhhhh

Edward, floating in mid-air, shouted loudly, but the camera was not under his control.

The scene changes instantly.

A majestic fortress, a pervert with dark circles sat lazily on the only throne, and a beautiful girl stood beside her.

"What's your name. He asked.

"I forgot. The girl shook her head.

"Forgot everything?"

"What should I remember?" the girl asked rhetorically.

Even when she stood beside the monster that was spurned and feared by all mankind, she was not afraid at all. Because, starting today, she has drawn a line with those idiots.

"Uh, okay...... That, you hate the sun?"

"I love the night. ”

"Why?"

"Because at night, I can't see other people's faces clearly. So, even if I kill those stupid humans, I won't feel their pain. The girl said.

"I see...... Well, your name is Night. ”

"Night. My name is Night?"

The girl innocently looked at the decadent guy, her cold face as calm as water.

"Well, Night, I saved you, so...... I ask you. You will be my servant. Live?"

"I ......"

==================

Mengxia, Initial

"Night!" exclaimed Edward.

"Master, what's wrong with you lately?" asked Night with a frown, puzzled. "You can fall asleep while standing. And also have nightmares. Is your brain completely broken?"

"I'm ......" Edward shook his head, keeping himself awake.

Possessed by the soul, the uncontrolled footage finally returns. Edward could perceive the world with his own eyes and hands, rather than looking back at the black and white world from the perspective of his soul.

"Master, what are you looking at?" Night stared at Edward curiously.

She noticed that Edward's eyes fell on a delicate little plaything in her arms.

"This, this is a pocket watch. It's ......"

"Sheila gave you a pocket watch that never stops, right?" replied Edward.

"Hey, master, how do you know?"

"......" Edward was silent, he looked at the night reluctantly, his sad tone heartbreaking, "go home." ”

"What did you say?"

"You guys, let's go, I want to be alone for a while. ”

"Master?"

"Edward, what do you want to do?" asked Emilia, confused.

No one answered her.

Edward drooped his head and walked down the street, dejected.

When will this nightmare be awakened? Edward didn't know, but he knew something else: tonight, when the hands of the pocket watch stopped turning, the night would die.

He couldn't change the ending.

What should he do? What should he do? Repeated attempts are in vain, and even if everything that should happen today is completely changed, the outcome will not change.

It's like a stone thrown into the sky, no matter how hard he throws it, no matter how far and high he throws it, he can't change the doomed end.

Falling to the ground, into the earth, this is the destined end of the stone, which cannot be changed, and the end of the night is ......

Commercial street, dusk.

"Why are you in a daze here?"

By the time Emilia found Edward, it was dusk.

I thought that Edward would have some nerves and would be back in a while, but she didn't expect that Edward would be gone all day.

If she hadn't come to him, I'd guess Edward would have been able to sit here until tomorrow.

"What's the matter, aren't we going?"

"No......

"Then what about Uncle Lane, the Black Flame Gang will definitely take revenge. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

"It doesn't matter?" Emilia was stunned when she heard those three words.

What's going on?

"Edward...... I, may I ask why?" asked Emilia tentatively.

The "......" did not answer.

"Don't want to say it? Or, don't you dare to say it?"

“......”

"Hehe, a very familiar scene, you, and me. Stopping the conversation playfully, Emilia said with a smile.

"What?"

"A year ago, on this street, you and I, we ...... At that time, I didn't like to talk, but you were always chattering in my ear with boring jokes. ”

"Yes, yes......"

Edward sat on the steps, his hands on the back of his head, letting the setting sun shine on the back of his neck. Uncle Waste Wood who has no money to buy alcohol...... Seeing his decadent appearance, others must think like this, right?

"Now, we're the other way around. You don't want to pay attention to me, and I pestered you and said and said. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say, Amilia?"

"You've helped me, many, many, so, I want to help you too, that's all. ”

"No, you can't help me. Edward shook his head with a wry smile.

"How do you know if you don't try it?"

With that, Emilia suddenly leaned down and narrowed the distance between her and Edward.

She held Edward's face in both hands, grabbed him strongly, and did not allow him to take his eyes off, and did not shy away from it, just staring at him directly.

Looking at each other, at this moment, even the air stopped flowing.

"Edward, tell me, am I in trouble again?"

"Huh?" (To be continued......)
