[comprehensive] red tide

The three people inside and outside looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one made a sound.

The silence is like flowing water, thread by thread, slowly eroding and expanding, infiltrating the air bit by bit, penetrating into the limbs and bones, twisting so hard that one's heart is numb and deeply cold. .

Everything froze, and the atmosphere was frozen and sinister.

After an unknown period of time, I couldn't bear it any longer, so I had to sniff my nose and ask myself, "That...Master Lieutenant General...can you let me go first...?"

Both wrists are buckled and pressed against the wall, and the toes cannot reach the floor... Maybe in the eyes of onlookers, such a posture is very interesting, but as the person involved, I sincerely express that it hurts a little... o(>﹏<)o .

After the words fell, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider glanced over from the corner of his eye, and the corner of his mouth twitched imperceptibly. Then, without warning, he let go of the shackles, and I lost my support to slide, and his hand reached over to grab the shoulder, The strength is quickly retracted.

In the next second, I just felt that I hit a thick piece that was as hard as an iron plate, my eyes were slightly dark, and the temperature covering my waist and back was scorching hot.

I was dazed for a moment, and I struggled uncomfortably, but I didn't expect that the Ghost Spider not only refused to let go, but tightened his arms even more, the back of his head was pressed down, and his whole face was forced to be buried in his skirt.

Mixed with alcohol, tobacco, gunpowder, the rust that was too faint to smell filled the nasal cavity, and quickly spread to the blood along the sense of smell, arousing a certain not-so-good sense of familiarity.

The aura of Lieutenant General Ghost Spider's blade cut across the metal-like coldness and sharpness.

It was the smell of years of fighting on the battlefield, it was a massacre soaked in countless blood, it was... the nightmare of the abyss where thousands of lives were lost.

I closed my eyes and began to breathe hard, my hands clenched into fists unconsciously, my nails almost dug into my palms, the ubiquitous strange smell was like a courtyard from which there was nowhere to escape, causing the peripheral nerves to sound the alarm in an instant.

Gradually, in the depths of the cochlea, in addition to the rapid heartbeat, there were also inexplicable sounds of mosquitoes and flies, and the hostility suppressed at the bottom of my consciousness, taking advantage of my uncomfortable time, I began to move around with malicious intentions.

too...too close...

After forcibly sealing the mind power, the subconscious mind is always in a state of anxiety, and the sense of crisis that invades the warning range will make me...

So, please let go of me quickly, before I can restrain myself from tearing off your hand...

…………

"Hey! Do you want to suffocate the girl?"

It was different from the voices of the two men present who suddenly pierced into my hearing, and the sound of footsteps approaching, not long after, a force attached to my shoulders dragged me out.

The barrier covering the mouth and nose disappeared in an instant, and then the voice became clearer, "Ghost spider, what are you doing? You have to be gentle with women, don't you know?"

"Do you think it's the soldiers under your command?!" There was a trace of reproach in the deep and thick voice. After a pause for a few seconds, he called out in surprise again, "Eh? Miss? Miss!"

As I was dizzy, I could only hear the voice in my ears becoming softer, "Come on, take a deep breath, take a deep breath, don't be afraid, don't be afraid~" At the same time, I patted my cheek forcefully, "Hey~ Don't Faint, miss—”

Following the instructions of the voice, I tried my best to take a deep breath. By repeatedly inhaling and exhaling, inhaling and exhaling, I gradually relieved the tense nerves that were like bowstrings.

After a while, I calmed down the excitement/excitement surging in my cells without a trace, I shook my head, and my blood-colored vision slowly became clear.

Holding the wrist bone next to the cheek with my hand to stop the other person from continuing to slap, I raised my eyelids, glanced at the person in front of me, and whispered, "Thank you—"

The hand that belongs to an adult man is big and slender, with rough and dry skin. The moment I hold it, my fingers subconsciously caress... Sensing the hidden power in its veins, I release it instantly.

Those who come... use weapons...

I lowered my eyes, pursed the corners of my mouth, and sobbed muffledly, "I'm sorry."

This person's appearance should be unfamiliar, but it seems a little familiar.

how to say?Probably because I have seen old photos from the early years in the blind date directory, all black suit, bright yellow spotted shirt, a full beard, and peaceful eyes.

They looked quite easy to get along with.

So, the other party shouldn't care about my little action just now, right?

Always habitually contact with the enemy at the same time, I can't get rid of this problem, touch the wrist bone, eh?There shouldn't be anything discovered, can I act as if I'm half-dizzy and half-awake?

…………

Just as I guessed, the man didn't care about my behavior, but was even more at a loss. He lowered his voice and asked, "Do you need to call a doctor for you?"

When I desperately shook my head in denial, the shadow in front of me receded, and his voice sounded again, aimed at Ghost Spider and Aokiji, "What's wrong with you? This girl is again..." The unfinished meaning in the words was full. It was full of surprise, and perhaps a little bit of disapproval.

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms and came over. The man put his palm up and put it under my eyelids, "Can you stand up, miss?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, I stretched out my hand, took advantage of it, stood up slowly, paused, let go of my hand, and then raised my eyes to look at the other two people.

"Ah—it's nothing." Ghost Spider replied unhurriedly, his voice was calm and unwavering, while speaking, his eyes cast over and then looked away instantly, his lowered brows looked cold and stiff.

"Ah, I'm just here to ask—" Qingzhi raised his hand and scratched his head again, his tone and expression were extremely innocent, and he muttered a few monotones, and then said, "Would you like to eat supper?"

After a brief silence, Aokiji's squinting gaze added a bit of strange meaning, "I just passed by here... Well, it turns out that Miss Anna is here."

Then came another strange depression.

In the end, the man who didn't know his name said as if to smooth things over, "Supper? That happens to be together." Ignoring the strange atmosphere between a lieutenant general and a general, his eyes shifted a few degrees, and he said with a smile on his face, "Are you Anna? The girl the ghost spider mentioned last time? The one with a good drinker?"

Just when I could only nod my head and didn't know how to answer, Ghost Spider said in a deep voice, "Yemakaz, she..."

Yemakaz?I unconsciously turned my gaze to the face of the title holder, quickly checked the information in my mind, and compared it with the information I had read:

'Yemarkaz' is the Naval Headquarters...Vice Admiral Huoshanshan.

One of the lieutenant generals who participated in the Judiciary Island Demon Slaying Order a while ago, and also...

Looking at these three people so close, I was suddenly a little out of breath. The memory fragments in my deep sleep slowly recovered, as if the blade of a blunt rusty blade slowly cut through my internal organs. With the beating of my heart, the pain that was more profound than Ling Chi began to spread. .

…………

When my sanity was in jeopardy, it was Aokiji who suddenly interjected, "Miss Anna is really good at drinking."

"However, it's really um... what's the matter with you keeping the girl so late?"

"The seconded personnel will be very busy these days, ghost spider, the girl is tired all day, so don't bully her?" Aokiji glanced in the direction of ghost spider with a plausible accusation in his mouth, his tone became more lax, "You really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, you will have dark circles under your eyes if you stay up late~"

Before he finished speaking, the veins on Ghost Spider's forehead twitched. For a while, he put away his eyes that were staring at his superior, and turned to look at mine, sighing deeply, "Sorry——"

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, there was some... guilt in his eyes?And as if to continue to say something, seeing this, I bent down in a panic, "I should be the one to apologize, Lieutenant General."

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant General, I really..." The words in my stomach turned and turned, and finally spit out another very weak answer, "It's time to go back and rest, I really can't accompany you tonight." I'm sorry you're not drunk."

Staring at the three pairs of leather shoes standing at the corners of my eyes, I pursed my lips, maintained a bowing posture, and narrowed the almost unstoppable ups and downs in my eyes.

Whatever you want to say, don't say any more...

…………Dividing line…………

Although I have used a very resolute attitude and repeatedly rejected the proposal of "sending you back", the two lieutenant generals and one general stayed in the rear and followed me all the way back to the dormitory.

According to the words of General Aokiji: 'How can you rest assured that young girls walk at night?Although the headquarters is very safe, there is no guarantee that there will be no hot-blooded young man drunk and misbehaving. '

'Anyway, it's a drop in~'

I don’t know if he’s alarmist. In short, the three senses of existence have always been behind me. As for the vermilion suitcase that I needed to return, I was ordered to find time tomorrow to pick it up under the half-smiling stare of the ghost spider general.

Of course, in the end they just stopped downstairs and watched me run back to the temporary room as if I was fleeing for my life.

When I turned on the light in the room and drew the curtains by the way, I could still see three red lights looming in the green shade through the window, which were the cigarettes held by the three people in the corners of their mouths.

Glancing at the three shadowy figures, I quickly pulled up the curtains to block out the night, then quickly changed clothes and turned off the lights, and wrapped myself in the quilt.

…………

Pulling up the quilt and burying myself in it, I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth, and tried my best to restrain the violent churning of my chest.

Anger, hatred, malice, pain.

My mind was struggling between madness and sobriety, and I tried my best to suppress the severe pain in my heart being tightened by a noose, and kept telling myself: Don’t think about it anymore, don’t think about it anymore...Those are all in the past...

In the end of O'Hara, those hatreds should not be placed on a certain group of people. They are just executors, and the real enemies are not them.

What should be hated and revenged, what should be paid in blood, is the world that smells rancid.

Even if everyone here is killed, the darkness still exists, what I want to see is [Dawn].

So far, all the hard work and desire are for the real opportunity of "daylight", not the indiscriminate killing of bloody rivers.

Killing on a whim is just to satisfy the malice that has no place to vent, it will not help the matter, and it will disturb the highest combat power of the navy.

It won't be long before the decay hidden in the dark will condense again, and the new sun that is obscured by the clouds may not have a chance to rise.

I have tried my best to plan, and what I want is to be released from the cage safely in the new era, and to fight back against the [destined] fate.

At such a critical juncture, how could you be so dizzy?As long as I... even seal my thought power, I'm betting my life, what price can't I pay?

So, calm down.

…………

In the darkness that was so thick that it could not be melted away, it seemed as if hot water had slipped out of the eye sockets, dripping into the temples like broken threads, dissipating the temperature along the air, and the coldness disappeared deep into the fibers of the pillow towel.

After a long, long time, I curled up into a ball and fell asleep in a small space.

…………

The countless fragments in the dream were frantically scrolled, the ancient memories and the existing images were mixed together, and the picture scroll was so vague that it was impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.

I saw scarlet flames scorching the sky, and I saw a boundless sea of ​​blood.

Seeing the thin little girl staggering and running, chasing ghosts behind her; seeing her mixed in the blurred crowd, her eyes gradually became dead and cold; seeing her unable to find a place to stay, she could only keep betraying betray.

The picture quickly scrolled, and I saw the boundless yellow sand, saw her finally get a habitat after suffering, saw her find a corner where she could sleep peacefully on that small boat, and saw the blue ocean.

In the end, the black-haired, blue-eyed woman cried until she lost her image, and her heart-piercing cry resounded through the sky:

'I want to live! ! ! '

Maybe it was a dream, or maybe I lost my mind for a moment, I seemed to hear my choked sobs coincide with the black-haired woman, 'Take me to the sea together—'

I want... to go to sea with you...

…………

Trapped in a nightmare, my senses were sticky and dull, and in my muddled consciousness, I only knew that I was crying, and my heart ached so badly that the woman with black hair and blue eyes returned to her companion...

The place I wanted to stay disappeared 22 years ago.

Cole D. Roger...Roger...I...I...

The warm and humid dream faded away, and the moment the sugar coating melted, I heard the sound of my own blood flowing, and I could distinguish another kind of heartbeat and heavy breathing.

I wanted to open my eyes, but found that I was blindfolded during sleep, and the temperature of the palms that pressed the eyes through the cloth was slightly cold;

The moment I woke up, I could not wait to find the warm touch, the corner of my mouth was bitten hard, I hissed in pain, and the tip of my tongue slipped into my mouth, soft and flexible.

No matter how hard I twisted the two bowls, I couldn't break free. The shackles gradually tightened like being entangled by a giant snake, and my strength gradually disappeared, and I gradually became weak.

The rusty smell mixed in the saliva diffused and expanded between the teeth, it was the blood from my struggling to bite him, thick and hot, mixed in the overflowing sobs and gasps.

…………

Until the second before I was almost suffocated due to lack of oxygen, the heat from the mouth was slightly withdrawn, and the sound of disordered breathing traveled from the corner of the mouth to the ears, slowly gnawing at the places where the bruises had not faded.

Compared with the slightly crazy behavior, the cold and strong breath suppressed my nerve endings. Even if I couldn't see it, I could still feel the danger and violence of this person at the moment.

A moment later, the temperature covering the eyes trembled slightly...

Swallowing the blood that didn't belong to me in my mouth, I said softly in a hoarse voice, "You don't need to untie your eyes." I relaxed at the same time as I spoke, without any further struggle, "Finish what you want to do. just leave."

"I never get to the bottom of what I don't want to know."

So, even if I can distinguish your breath and blindfolded, I will still think this is a nightmare.

Don't take off the blinds on your eyes, don't let me see you when you're out of control.

Aokiji, Kuzan.

That's it, get what you want, leave before dawn, and let this 20-year mistake end tonight.

In this way, I can let go of all indecision and treat you as the enemy wholeheartedly.

A few days later, if we are lucky enough to participate in the war, we can fight each other with all our strength without any scruples.

…………

People in Meteor Street have always been greedy, and I am always reluctant to give up what he and they have given.

But... in the end, they will meet each other in battle.

In a night where darkness and light are sleeping at the same time, let everything end before the end begins.
