Anime: Desolate Darkness

The table was filled with a variety of exquisite and delicious dishes that were both delicious and mouth-watering.

The waiter smiled, bowed slightly, and gently pushed the cart full of tableware out of the private room.

Until this moment, the long silence was finally broken. Bei Qi lowered his head, feeling extremely heavy, as if a heavy burden was pressing on him. He murmured to himself: "Does mankind... really have no future?"

Although she had already learned this cruel fact from the other party, Bei Qi still held a glimmer of hope deep in her heart, fantasizing that a miracle would happen.

However, the reality is so cruel, and everything that has happened recently has made him feel extremely desperate.

Because those things are completely consistent with one of the prophecies mentioned by Kurokawa Ren: starting with a golden-haired monster disguising himself as a giant to slaughter humans, even if the truth is known, the giants will still become the object of hostility of humans.

Kurokawa Ren, who was sitting next to him, was silent. His dark and empty pupils were lifeless, like two bottomless black holes.

He stared blankly at the open window, his eyes looking through the glass at the beautiful and charming scenery in the distance.

Outside the window, the sun is shining, the trees are shady, and the breeze makes the leaves rustle; in the distance, the mountains are undulating, with clouds and mist lingering between them, like a fairyland.

But all these beautiful scenes have lost their meaning to Kurokawa Ren, because he knows in his heart that everything within his sight will be destroyed.

"Why don't you quit your job and spend more time with your family?" Kurokawa Ren suddenly asked.

"Even though I know the answer, I still want to give it a try. After all, the essence of life is a journey." Bei Qi said this firmly.

Kurokawa Ren didn't feel the slightest bit, his gaze still fixed outside the window.

"Enough of this nonsense. I won't accompany you to visit the teacher."

Before Bei Qi could say anything, Kurokawa Ren knew what he wanted to ask next.

Bei Qi frowned, "With your ability, you should have known what I wanted to say before you came, right? If you don't accept it, why did you come to the appointment?"

Kurokawa Ren slowly put on the disguise on the table and replied coldly, "I just came to see you one last time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was dressed the same as when he first entered the door, with his head wrapped very tightly.

"I will visit the teacher, but not now."

After leaving these words, his figure disappeared in an instant, as if he had never appeared.

Bei Qi probably understood what the other party meant, and knew that she probably didn't have much time left...

As if influenced by Kurokawa Ren, he also looked out the window that the other person had been looking at before, and his mind unconsciously recalled the past...

19 years ago.

In an unknown forest somewhere in Tokyo, beside a stream, dozens of people are camping.

Among them, almost all of them are students, with only one middle-aged man who is a teacher.

Because these students were the first group of students to graduate taught by this teacher, in order to celebrate for them, the teacher covered all expenses and brought the students here to play.

"Teacher Ryunosuke! Do you have any charcoal left?!" Seeing that the charcoal under the grill was almost burned out, a female classmate turned around and shouted to the teacher who was fishing in the creek with several male classmates.

"Yes, yes! It's in that blue box over there!!!" Ryunosuke Ichisuke responded loudly, pointing to a large blue plastic box far away on the shore.

The female classmate raised her right hand and made an OK sign, then turned her eyes to a boy of medium build and weak face standing beside her, and smiled heartily: "Kurokawa-kun, can you help me take care of my corn? I'll go get some charcoal~"

"Ah? Ah! Okay!" Kurokawa Ren was stunned when he saw the bright smile on the other person's face. When he came to his senses, his face had turned slightly red.

After the girl turned and left, Bei Qi, who had been witnessing the whole process, immediately came to Kurokawa Ren's side.

He gently bumped his shoulder against the other person's, then lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Hey, when are you going to confess your feelings to me? If you keep dawdling, someone else might beat you to it!"

"Miya! What nonsense are you talking about!?" Kurokawa Ren raised his voice instantly, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his face turned red.

Many students nearby were attracted by the noise and looked over.

Bei Qigong smiled evilly, pointed at him and said jokingly: "You are anxious~"

Noticing that the other students were looking at her strangely, and that the female classmate was about to come back with a small box of charcoal, Kurokawa Ren subconsciously raised his hands to cover the other person's mouth.

But he overlooked one thing, that is, in his left hand was holding a steel skewer of half-roasted corn, sizzling with oil.

Bei Qi's eyes widened and he quickly stepped back, relying on the physical fitness trained by his father since childhood, he managed to escape without any danger.

Kurokawa then realized how dangerous his actions were and quickly apologized, "Miya! Are you okay? I didn't mean to do that! I'm sorry!"

Bei Qi patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, then waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine. "It's okay, just be more careful next time."

At this moment, Sanae Shoaki came back carefully holding the charcoal in both hands, muttering, "What were you two talking about just now? Why were you so loud?"

"Nothing!" Kurokawa Ren answered a little flustered, "I was just chatting with Gong like usual." As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously avoided.

Seeing how nervous Kurokawa Ren was, Sanae Shoaki immediately cast a suspicious look at Beiqi, with a hint of questioning in her tone: "Beiqi-san, did you bully Kurokawa again?"

"Ah?" Bei Qi, who was about to return to her seat, was stunned upon hearing this, with a bewildered look on her face. "No way, he said he was just chatting normally, how could you think that I bullied him? Even a husband protector wouldn't do this to you."

After saying that, Bei Qi spread his hands helplessly.

Protect... Protect your husband! ?

Kurokawa Ren's face turned red instantly, he lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone.

However, Sanae Shoaki on the side seemed unusually calm. She didn't even refute Bei Qi's words. She just snorted softly, then buried her head in adding charcoal to the grill, completely ignoring the two of them.

Seeing her slightly red ears, Bei Qi roared in his heart, "You two, get married right now!"

However, this happy time did not last long, an accident happened!

When everyone was still immersed in joy, suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed among the crowd.

This mysterious light came so quickly that the students had no time to react. It continued to expand and spread at an astonishing speed, and in an instant it enveloped everyone present.

No one could escape this sudden change, and all those covered by the white light fainted on the ground without exception.

When Beiqi finally woke up from a long coma, time had quietly passed and it was night.

He rubbed his still aching head with his hands and slowly opened his heavy eyelids, his vision blurry.

Through his blurry eyes, he vaguely saw a white figure emitting a faint light not far away. It was standing face to face with another classmate, as if they were talking about something important.

Bei Qi shook his head vigorously, trying to make himself more awake, then struggled to get up from the ground and slowly approached that direction.

However, at this moment, the mysterious white figure disappeared without a trace like a ghost.

However, when Bei Qi regained his clear vision, even though it was just a profile, he immediately recognized who the person who had just communicated with the white figure was - it was his good friend Kurokawa Ren!

Bei Qi was about to ask what had happened, but was stunned by the look of astonishment on Kurokawa Ren's face when he turned around and looked at him.

Kurokawa Ren opened his eyes wide, tears welling up in his eye sockets. They seemed to have lost control and kept falling down his cheeks...

"Miya, we... are going to die!" Kurokawa Ren said this with a trembling voice. He seemed to be consumed by endless fear and it was difficult for him to correct his tone.
