"Haha, that's the attitude!"

Laughing unconsciously, Lu Xuan, who appeared in a dark form, could clearly sense that the desire to survive in the girl's heart had been rekindled.

Although compared to the darkness and despair in her heart, the desire to survive in the girl's heart is so faint and insignificant.

But as long as the girl has not completely given up on herself, this desire to survive cannot be extinguished.

This is the power of the human heart, and it is also the most primitive hope.

"As long as there is hope in the hearts of people, the light will not disappear."

With both hands and a sword, he tapped the girl's eyebrows, and Lu Xuan was like a god who came out of the darkness at this moment, solemn and majestic.

Restless!

A surging dark power poured out of the girl's body, and soon it was completely enveloped.

Under the movement and transformation of this dark force, the girl's body underwent changes that were visible to the naked eye.

A pair of pitch-black wings were the first to grow from its back.

Immediately afterward, a layer of scale-like structures began to emerge on the surface of the body.

Fortunately, no matter how her appearance changes, the girl has firmly maintained her human form after all.

This means that the girl's heart is not completely infected and assimilated by the darkness, and she is not completely reduced to a part of the dark forces.

"That's what it is...... Demonic powers? ”

The voice is slightly hoarse, and the tone reveals an indescribable weirdness.

The girl with dark wings on her back looked up at Lu Xuan, and she could feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy from the other party's body.

This intimacy does not come from the dark forces that come from the same source, but from a more mysterious and incomprehensible sixth sense.

- Where do you think you've seen each other?

Such a thought flashed through the girl's mind, but she immediately thought of another very important question.

"Why do you want to help me?"

At this point, the girl has clearly realized that Lu Xuan is not the demon she imagined.

The other party is genuinely helping himself, helping him to control the dark power in his body that is born of despair and evil thoughts.

- Is it just because you have the potential to be your own kind?

The girl looked around, as if she saw the wanderers who were also hiding in the darkness, and then decisively dismissed the idea.

To speak of despair, of evil thoughts, of darkness......

Who in this city is not more than himself, more fit to be his kind?

"Why should I help you?"

Obviously stunned for a moment, the corners of Lu Xuan's mouth immediately raised a smile.

"Maybe it's because of your kindness in the first place? Or maybe it's just pleasing to your eyes? ”

To be honest, even Lu Xuan himself didn't know why he spent so much energy to help the girl in front of him complete the transformation.

But he knew in his heart that if he wanted to find out what happened to this world sixteen years ago, he would have to rekindle the light of hope in the hearts of the remaining humans in this world.

If you have to say it, this can also be the reason why Lu Xuan helped this girl.

As for whether this is the real reason?

Lu Xuan himself didn't care, and no one cared.

"Let's try out your new abilities first!"

"After all, no matter how chaotic human society is now, there is still the most basic order after all."

"If you go out as you are now, I'm afraid you'll be expelled from the city as soon as possible."

After Lu Xuan's reminder, the girl had time to look down at her current appearance.

It is covered in a scale-like cuticle structure, and a pair of black wings that look like demons grow on its back......

Coupled with the obviously dehumanized pupils and face, the girl at this moment, just like Lu Xuan opposite, is an alien who is truly out of human form.

"I should ...... How to control this force? ”

Looking up at Lu Xuan again, the girl asked straight to the point.

She wanted to change back into her human form like Lu Xuan had just done, or disguised as a human form.

"The essence of this dark force is the manifestation of your inner will, the appearance of absorbing the negative emotions in your heart."

"So, you just need to recall those good memories of yourself as much as possible, and you can suppress this dark force back into your heart little by little."

Gently closing her eyes, the girl tried to recall the good memories of the past.

However, this move was far more difficult than the girl imagined.

In the girl's limited memory, she has long been unable to find those good memories of the past.

Or rather, those good memories have been destroyed by the last sixteen years of life.

- Do I still have fond memories?

With such doubts, the girl tried to recall those memories again, trying to find relatively good fragments from them.

Unfortunately, the girl's attempt failed again.

Until the girl opened her eyes again and saw Lu Xuan standing motionless in front of her.

Restless!

The cuticle structure on the surface of the body, which was almost like a scale, faded little by little, and the pair of wings that had been spread behind it also retracted.

Then, just like the scene where the two first met, the girl laughed again.

Only this time, the girl had a look of hope in her originally empty eyes, and even her spirit was different from the beginning.

Once the person who has regained hope starts smiling, it is much more beautiful than that empty fake smile.

- If I ever have a good memory, it's an encounter with you!

With such a thought, the girl's heart suddenly gave birth to a curiosity that had not been seen for a long time.

"What's your name?"

Tilting her head slightly, the girl asked softly with a look of déjà vu that Lu Xuan felt.

"Of course, if it's not convenient for you to reveal your name, it's okay not to say it."

said so, but the deep expectation revealed in the girl's eyes was something that few people could refuse.

"I'm just a casual passerby, and there's nothing special about the name."

Lowering his head slightly, Lu Xuan stared at the girl's expectant eyes, and finally relented.

Lu Xuan found that since he met the girl in front of him, he had violated the established principles many times.

That kind of family-like intimacy seems to have appeared out of thin air for no reason at all.

"But if you really want to remember my words, then call me Lu Xuan!"

Before the words fell, Lu Xuan's body once again turned into an invisible black mist and dissipated.

In the next second, the original tall human form disappeared, and was replaced by a black crow that rose into the sky.

"Lu Xuan?"

Looking blankly at the back of the black crow gradually moving away, the girl suddenly waved at the other party and shouted.

"I remember you! Lu Xuan! ”

"You have to remember me, my name is Jia'er!"

Jiaer, the word is pronounced in the Japanese context, and is homophonic with "light".
