Tails frowned, "Is this possible, and what will be the consequences?"

The Silver Shadow Man was silent for a long time.

After a full ten seconds, he replied coldly:

"It's none of your business, Bright Star. ”

Tails choked stiffly, a little embarrassed.

But he still took a breath and looked at the silver shadow man solemnly: "I...... I have friends up there, in Longxiao City, and I want to know, I should know. ”

Tails thought of Selma, of Grivo, and even of the entire shield that had been reduced to dust by the battle of the Magi.

Shield area.

Thinking of this, Tails couldn't help but tense his nerves.

The Silver Shadow Man seemed to be observing him, and only after a few seconds did he speak slowly:

"What will happen to this curse in the future, it's not something you should think about, and it's not something you can control. ”

"At least as you can see, I can still maintain the current situation, so that the curse does not worsen, and the number of souls does not increase," the Silver Shadow Man seemed to find it unconvincing, and subconsciously added:

"It's been a long time since it was maintained. ”

Tails frowned deeply.

"A long time?"

"How long?"

He looked at the silver light that had obviously weakened a lot after that blow, and couldn't help but sigh: "If, as the general said, a powerful being like you is constantly dying and weakening, and the power you rely on to sustain yourself and sanity continues to disappear......

The dark eyes of the Silver Shadow Man flickered against the silver light.

"Once you can't suppress this curse anymore, you can no longer 'keep it as it is'...... Although I don't know what the curse will be, and I don't know what the consequences will be, but above it is Longxiao City, Exeter, and the Western Continent ......."

The Silver Shadow Man didn't speak.

Tails stared at him firmly, "There's no other way?"

"Like eliminating it completely, once and for all?"

The Silver Shadow Man seemed to lose his mind for a moment, and he muttered and repeated the prince's words, "Once and for all?"

The other party's facial features immediately sharpened, and the words became cold: "No." ”

"You, all of you. ”

"The farther away from it, the better," the Silver Shadow Man turned abruptly, and the depth and dazzle of the strong contrast between light and darkness on his face made Tails feel a chill:

"Leave the rest to me, and that's enough. ”

"It's the best thing I can think of at the moment. "He's unequivocal.

Tails' brow furrowed for a long time, but he finally shook his head.

"I don't understand. ”

The Silver Shadow man snorted.

"You don't need to understand. ”

"Because there's nothing you can do about it, Bright Star," he denies Tails' concerns at the root, "and you can't do anything even if you're worried." ”

"At least, the current you, the weak you, the young you, the immature you, can't do anything. ”

Tails was speechless.

The darkness reflected the cold light in the glow of the Silver Shadow Man, and the coldness hit Tails' back again.

The two were silent for a long time.

"What about you?"

"You're going to block the Black Path, but ......"

Tails asked faintly, "You've been ...... Are you staying here all the time?"

"Can't you leave where you're supposed to be?"

This question made the Silver Shadow Man stunned for a moment.

"Me?"

As if he were thinking about it for the first time, he lowered his head and chewed on the question for a while.

"I've been dead for a long time. ”

The Silver Shadow Man said lightly.

"For a long, long time...... I don't remember how long. ”

"But I, who have long since died, can survive without relying on my shell, in addition to that great being, in fact, I also rely on the efficacy of this curse to some extent. ”

Tails' expression froze.

The Silver Shadow Man's words were low: "It's ironic, isn't it." ”

"I can only watch over this curse here, forever, until I am destroyed with it," said the Silver Shadow in silence.

"Or let it conquer me, enslave me, assimilate me. ”

Tails' heart darkened.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a little cold.

In this place, in this dim, damp, cold, dead and silent place......

The man in front of him......

In this way, from death to the present, tirelessly, and without knowing the end, holding on here?

"But more than that, I am the only force that can restrain it," the Silver Shadow Man's tone became firm and cold again, unquestionable: "I have to stay here to prevent new souls from being drawn into the curse, brewing tragedy, and becoming a new round of puppets and nourishment." ”

"As long as I'm here, it can't continue to deteriorate – that's what I'm here for. ”

Looking at the other party's resoluteness, Tails couldn't help but blurt out:

"What about yourself, when will you be liberated?"

"You're going to be stuck here all the time, alone, day and night in front of these dead souls, in front of the rocks, in the face of the darkness, in the face of the curse......"

"Day after day, year after year, hundred years after hundred years, and you have to be vigilant and careful to prevent your sanity from falling into the hands of the enemy?"

"What are you going to do?"

This time, the Silver Shadow Man was silent for a long time.

"I can see it, Bright Star......"

The Silver Shadow Man nodded slowly, and the rhythm of his words was slow and deep: "In this regard, you are quite like Thor." ”

"Thor?"

Tails didn't react for a moment: "Who's Thor?"

The Silver Shadow Man shook his head.

"You don't have to worry about me," he replied in that cold tone:

"I am a dead man, neither to be nor to be gained, nor to be lost. ”

"I only do what I am willing to do, what I want to do, and that's all—don't think of me as pathetic, and don't think of me as selfless and great. ”

Tails stared at him in a daze.

But the other party's words immediately changed: "But you are the living, young star, you have not yet reached the moment to be with us, and you should neither die today nor here." ”

His tone was a little gloomy:

"We went our separate ways. ”

The small cavern was silent for a moment.

"I see," the prince sighed deeply and glanced at the expressionless silver shadow man, "but ......"

"But there's always a way, right? ”

Tails remembered something, and his eyes lit up: "I may not be able to, but I know some people, some ...... A being of unimaginable power, knowledgeable and sharp-minded, maybe he ...... Maybe they'll have a way. ”

This time, the Silver Shadow Man looked at him for a long time.

It's been so long that Tails can't help it.

"You're not the only one who thinks that way. He whispered, echoing in Tails' ears.

The other party didn't look at him again, but slowly stepped forward, and the silver light flowed, making the whole person more unique and dazzling.

"But just as the deeds of the Iron Blood King are the beginning of the rise of humanity...... Here, the curse of the Iron Blood, it is also the origin of all disasters. ”

The Silver Shadow Man looked up, his deep features looking at the enclosed, locked, dim, and monotonous rock walls around him.

Everything ...... Origin?

The Silver Shadow Man shook his head slowly: "If you know how much the mages have paid to remove this curse and undo its effects......

"If you know, how many so-called powerful, knowledgeable, and sharp-thinking people are trying to get close to this curse and unravel its secrets. ”

"And how many of them have been lost in this way, mad in this way, and crumbling in their path......"

"And in the process, how many evil consequences have they derived, generated, and brought about......"

"Many of these aftermaths still afflict the world to this day......

"I'm afraid I wouldn't have said such things so easily. ”

Tails was silent with a puzzled gaze, listening to what the other party had to say, but he couldn't understand the Silver Shadow Man's words at all.

What do you mean?

"Kindness may not bear good fruit," the other party's words became stern and unceremoniously:

"There are soils that are destined to produce the flowers of extreme evil. ”

They fell silent again.

"Yes. Tails lowered his head and said nothing, just a faint sigh.

Neither of them said anything until the light on the Silver Shadow man's face moved slightly.

"Still. ”

"If you really want to do something," the Silver Shadow Man looked at him, slowly raised his right arm, and clenched his fist lightly, "Then go and get ready first." ”

Tails smiled reluctantly, looked up and sneered, "What are you going to prepare?"

The silver shadow man bowed slightly, and then shook his head slightly: "Now, you only have blood in your body. ”

Tails' smile vanished.

"What do you mean?"

The other party's dark facial features shook for a while: "Young Bright Star, your mind is still naïve, your future is still unclear, and your consciousness is far from enough." ”

"I heard what you said, the calamity still lives in the world, mercilessly harvesting life, brewing tragedy, right?"

Tails was slightly startled: "Huh?"

The light on the Silver Shadow man's face flickered and dimmed, faintly at Tails.

The prince suddenly felt that what the other party was hiding behind that silver face was probably a fiery emotion far beyond his imagination.

"Tormund has failed to fulfill his promise," said the Silver Shadow Man, looking at Tails faintly, and said slowly:

But I could see that he had left his hope to posterity. ”

The silver shadow man gently spread out his palm, and a few traces of silver light appeared on it, flowing back and forth, like a crystal galaxy, extremely wonderful.

A second of silence.

Tails' pupils shrank slightly.

"Tuomon......" he muttered, "you mean ......"

"Go ahead. The Silver Shadow Man spoke lightly, but the echo was particularly obvious, which made Tails startled.

"Find your ancestral and family mission, take it, and become a man to be trusted. ”

The special Silver Shadow Man's facial features shook slightly, as if revealing the quietest smile: "At that time, you are qualified to come back and fulfill the long-cherished wish of me and Thor." ”

In the darkness of his eyes, it seemed that the profundity of the whole world was lodged: "At that time, you are qualified to put an end to all this, to end the calamities including this eternal curse." ”

"From beginning to end, put an end to them. ”

Tails looked at the Silver Shadow Man in this state with a distraught, he seemed to grasp something, and he didn't seem to understand anything.

In the end, the prince frowned and shook his head honestly:

"I ...... I don't understand. ”

The other party shook slightly, and the silver light on his face rippled.

"Then I hope you never understand. ”

Tails was a little surprised.

I saw the silver shadow man slowly raise the flowing silver light on the palm of his right hand, and watched as the light above it converged back into his body.

"Young star. ”

He walked forward slowly, approaching Tails, and said faintly, "Thank you for giving me such precious, interesting, and happy hours in the Dark Watch where there is no scale, no end, no future, and no direction. ”

"Although, I'll soon forget. ”

"Back to the past. ”

Tails looked at each other steadily, and the feelings in his heart were complicated and indescribable.

The next moment, the silver shadow man's right palm was attached to his face, leaning forward, putting his silver forehead on Tails' forehead, and quietly staring at him.

Tails only felt a slight chill in the center of his forehead, where the silver glow flowed.

He stared blankly at the silver shadow man who was looking at him deeply, only to feel that the person in front of him was shining with a silver glow that made him unable to look directly and had to squint.

But those eyes were incomparably deep.

Tails had never looked at this extraordinary silver shadow man so closely, and he even had the illusion that the other party's dark eyes seemed to contain the stars of the entire universe.

"May the mountains contain your footprints, and may the earth bless your journey. The light on the Silver Shadow man lit up, and with each syllable, the silver light on his body trembled.

At that moment, a slight tinnitus rang in Tails' ears.

"Beep......

Lighter and softer than ever.

Silently.

"May You ......"

"Never get lost. ”

The last few syllables fell, and Tails only felt the soft tinnitus gradually disappear. ！

In the next second, the light on the Silver Shadow Man suddenly dimmed!

Before Tails could react, the Silver Shadow let go of him.

The coolness of the forehead is gone.

"What is this?" Tails looked at each other stunned.

But the Silver Shadow Man just shook his head and didn't answer.

"Thank you," the Silver Shadow Man still looked at him silently, "bringing her greeting." ”

The next moment, before Tails could come to his senses, the Silver Shadow Man turned around and walked towards the black rock wall that closed seamlessly.

The silver footprints behind him are as bright as ever.

"The Revenant won't bother you anymore. ”

"Turn around and move on, and you'll find your way out. ”

"Forget about today and go back to your life. ”

The words of the other party echoed in my ears.

Tails' heart moved, and he had a feeling: this is goodbye.

An inexplicable impulse drove the prince to take two steps and said loudly to the back of the silver shadow man:

"Will we meet again?"

The Silver Shadow Man's footsteps paused slightly, and the light on his body trembled slightly.

"Of course. He said softly.

At this moment, the silver light suddenly flowed to the top of the silver shadow man's head, and a line of text appeared:

[He's lying]

Tails froze.

The Silver Shadow Man stood in place, as if he still hadn't noticed the abnormality above his head: "One day, we will surely meet again in hell, like all souls who rest in peace." ”

"And not here, in the last resort. ”

"Young star. ”

The Silver Shadow Man took another step and walked the way he came.

His body made of light slowly melted into the rock wall.

The silver mang jumped for a while, and it was written again:

[He's still lying]

Tails stared blankly as the figure of the Silver Shadow sank into the rock formation.

Looking at the silver light, it gradually dimmed.

The silver mangs also darkened, and continued to assemble a piece of text:

[You won't see each other again]

Tails' eyebrows tightened.

Finally, the Silver Shadow Man's body disappeared into the rock wall.

The silver light is gone, and it is no longer seen.

The almost dim silver glow, swaying the last words in mid-air, dissipated without a trace:

【Farewell】

In the next second, Tails' eyes went dark - the entire cavern fell into complete darkness as the Silver Shadow Man left.

Leaving Tyers alone, he returned to the darkness of loneliness and silence.

Facing the cold air, the hard rock formations, the boundless silence.

In the dark, Tails couldn't see anything.

But he still stared blankly in the direction where the Silver Shadow Man had left, until an inexplicable feeling hit his heart.

Not long ago, the Silver Shadow Man punched hard, conjured up armor, and easily teased the scene of himself, as if he still remembered it vividly.

[I am a dead man......]

[The first day I opened my eyes here......]

[I can only ...... here. Until it is destroyed with it......]

[Leave the rest to me......]

[It's been a long, long time, so long that I can't remember how long it ......]

[Thank you, in the Dark Watch where there is no scale, no end, no future, and no direction......]

[Gave me such precious, interesting, and happy hours ......]

[Although, I will soon forget ......]

[We will eventually go our separate ways......]

[Of course...... Surely one day we will be able to ...... like all souls resting in peace.

[Goodbye......]

The next second.

Tails clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, stepped along, and ran forward!

At that moment, he only felt an impulse rush into his heart, immersed in his veins.

"Bang!"

His arm slammed into the solid rock wall!

But Tails didn't realize it, he desperately pulled up his hoarse and uncomfortable throat, gritted his teeth in the direction of the rock wall, and shouted: "I'll remember!"

"Remember......" The prince's voice echoed through the cavern.

"Even if you've forgotten all about ......"

"Even if you've disappeared......"

"I will also remember today, remember today in the Black Path!"

"Bang, bang, bang!" Tails clenched his trembling fists and slammed hard against the rock wall.

Hopefully, this will reach the other side of the rock formation, to the other side of the lonely night.

"Hey, did you hear that!"

In the bottomless darkness, the unwilling prince took a long breath and held back the sourness of his nose.

"I'll always remember you......"

"Remember your name!"

He was almost clinging to the rock wall, shouting out the name with all his might:

"Resistant-Ka-Ru......"

"E-k-s!"
