Above the ancient city, a scavenging eagle flew over from time to time, making the already dark sky even more gloomy.

"Look, is there anyone there?"

On top of the tallest building in the center of the city, a man wearing a long blue scarf, wearing a short-sleeved dress and long hair, looked like a girl.

I saw her raise her right arm, and a black crow suddenly landed on her arm.

The distance was a bit far, and Yunlu wasn't sure if there was a letter hanging on it.

"Are you going to go over?"

Yunlu turned around, only to find that Chiling's face had become a little strange, as if she was sad?

"Don't be impulsive!"

In the moment she didn't know, Lan Zhi rushed in front of Chiling at once, and held the fist that Chiling attacked with his hand.

"She's dead, and now you're not seeing her before."

"You let go, I'm going to go to her and ask for clarification!" Chiling swung his fist forward again, and was held by his other hand.

She? Who is she?

Yunlu was curious, but she also probably guessed that this person seemed to be dead.

"Let's go back......"

An ethereal female voice came from afar.

Chiling stopped attacking, and Lan Zhi turned around.

Look at the top of the tower, the girl with the scarf has disappeared.

Chiling sat down on the ground all of a sudden, and just kept her eyes open, as if tears were flowing out.

Lan Zhi, who has always liked to taunt her, didn't laugh at her for the first time, but walked to Yunlu's side, and was also a little sad, and said, "She used to be our partner." ”

She? Is it a partner with Lan Zhi and Chiling?

Lan Zhi and Chiling used to be partners?

Yunlu felt a little magical, and looked at Lan Zhi with wide eyes, waiting for him to continue.

"That girl's name is Ginkgo, she used to be the concoctor of our team, she followed us in everything, and finally ...... Died to save us. ”

"She's not dead, she's not dead, don't talk nonsense!" Chiling, who seemed to have lost his soul, stood up suddenly and punched Lan Zhi in the chest.

This time, Lan Zhi didn't hide, spit out a mouthful of blood in a muffled voice, and said: "What you see now is a humanoid tree puppet, the original she is dead, wake up quickly." ”

"So, I hate you the most!"

Chiling clenched her fist again and slammed it into his chest again.

This time, Lan Zhi still didn't hide.

Finally, the fist stopped at a centimeter from his chest.

Chiling lowered her head, and a tear fell to the ground.

"If it weren't for saving me, she wouldn't have died, it's all me, and I shouldn't have rushed out at that time......"

"Hahaha, you think I'm going to say that, right, fool, I won't let myself be trapped in memories, now I can punch ten monsters in one punch!"

Chiling became cheerful for a second, she turned around with her arms in her arms, and laughed as she walked forward, "You guys are too slow, I want to go first." ”

Yun Lu looked at her back as she walked away, if it weren't for a tear blown to her face by the wind, I'm afraid she would really believe that she was joking just now.

Lan Zhi probably knew that she was pretending to be strong now, so instead of following, she squatted on the ground and talked about the cause and effect of the incident.

"Actually, Chiling is not to blame for this, it's just that she hasn't been able to pass this hurdle, so the last time she came here, she didn't go back at the specified time."

No wonder they were told that before they came.

"Ginkgo grew up with us, and when we were young, when we were dying of hunger, it was she who went to grab something to eat from the dog and rescued us.

It was she who took us to beg the president of the brown bear to have a chance to survive......

That day, it rained heavily and we completed our mission, only to receive a distress message.

At that time, our level was not high enough to be able to support, but Chiling relented, and she ran out secretly...... By the time she returned, Ginkgo had no heartbeat. ”

Lan Zhi said this paragraph, and his tone had always been flat, but Yunlu felt his sadness.

"Don't look at Chiling like this, she looks like she's happy every day, but in fact, this is Ginkgo's wish before she dies, so even if she wants to cry, she will pretend to be happy."

……

Not far away, Chiling, who was hiding behind the trunk of a tree, was squatting and holding his head.

What she doesn't want to cry is that the tears will flow out by herself, and she is not to blame for this.

A soft handkerchief was handed to her.

"Don't cry".

Her familiar voice rang in her ears again.

"Ginkgo!"

Chiling raised her head violently, saw the humanoid tree puppet whose skin looked like a tree branch, and looked at her with real eyes, wiped her eyes vigorously, and stood up with a look of surprise, "You are not dead, I know you are not dead." ”

"Hmm", the humanoid tree golem nodded stiffly and slowly stretched out his hand to her, "I've been here waiting for you to come back."

Her twig-like hand slowly reached for the top of her head.

"You've grown up, and you've grown taller."

Chiling, who was about to knock off her hand, froze in place, ready to destroy the humanoid tree puppet in front of her, but she couldn't do anything.

"During this time, I miss you so much, why haven't you come to see me for so long."

"I have a lot of tasks, so I don't have time for a while."

"Can I hug you, like I did when I was a kid".

The hand of the humanoid tree golem slowly wrapped around her back, and the slender fingers suddenly turned into spikes.

"Okay", Akasuzu also held out his hand to her.

"Red Bell!"

At this moment, an angry voice came from behind.

"Have you forgotten what Ginkgo said!"

"I haven't forgotten ......," Akasuzu muttered, still reaching out and hugging the humanoid tree golem in front of her.

"It's because I haven't forgotten that I ......"

"Ahh

Chiling's body suddenly erupted into a huge flame, enveloping the entire body of the humanoid tree golem.

The humanoid tree golem burned, trying to escape but unable to escape, and let out an ugly scream from its mouth.

“…… I haven't forgotten, that's why I want to destroy this imposter! ”

With a strong force of Chiling's hands, the humanoid tree puppet that had already burned up turned into soot in an instant.

A gust of wind whipped up the dust and slowly drifted into the distance.

Chiling's gaze also disappeared with the dust.

"Her voice isn't so bad......" she muttered in a low voice.

"So, Yunlu, you must remember, don't be fooled by appearances in the future, you know."

Chiling turned into an instructor in a second, and said earnestly to Yunlu.

"Once you are bewitched by this kind of monster, you are not far from death, this kind of thing is the best at confusing people's hearts."

After she said this, she continued to move towards the ancient city.

"This time, I must completely destroy this monster!"
