Incorrect usage guidelines for the magic perimeter

Boom!

The sound of distant explosions from the edge of the city could be faintly heard in the "Keep Fortress" in the center of the Yokohama Concession.

what's going on?

This question surfaced deep in the hearts of the three men in this fortress at the same time.

But for some reasons—for example, to pretend to be aggressive or not to be disadvantaged in front of others—the three of them all put on an overly calm look of "what's the fuss about this little thing".

In fact, with their brains and strength, this small group is indeed qualified to despise all the accidents that happened in the city of Yokohama tonight.

"White Kirin" Shibusawa Ryuhiko was the chief culprit who caused this fog of supernatural powers, and he also invited two special guests to accompany him in the fight against the landlord... Cough, I was wrong, it was because he wanted to destroy the third party in Yokohama. people talk.

"The Devil" Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky, there is no need to spend more words to describe his insidiousness and cunning. It is covered with a veil of mystery, and it is said that everyone who has seen it has died.

Compared with these two, Osamu Dazai, who belonged to the gray area organization of the Armed Detective Agency, seemed mediocre, as if he had nothing to compare with the two deranged criminals.

But the fact that he can sit here and chat with these two psychopaths today shows that... he is also a kind of person to a certain extent.

The three of them were fighting each other tonight, chatting and laughing happily, and testing each other, they were so much better than many people outside.

To put it simply, among the three, only Shibusawa Tatsuhiko wanted to destroy Yokohama wholeheartedly, and then found his destined "magic gem". Only Osamu Dazai is serious...undercover.

"Where did we talk just now?" Shibusawa Tatsuhiko asked.

There is no doubt that although he is nearly thirty, "Bai Qilin" with long white hair hanging loose and wearing a white suit is a gentle beauty.

Looking at the appearance, it is impossible to tell that he was an ultra-dangerous element who destroyed countless civilian abilities and lives and had no empathy.

At this point the Russian, also wearing a white fur-trimmed cloak, replied: "Speaking of marriage."

"Yes, marriage." Shibusawa Tatsuhiko turned his head with great interest to look at Osamu Dazai who was sitting on the other side and lost in thought. handsome suit.

Alas, if Shibusawa Ryuhiko hadn't strongly demanded that the two of them wear the clothes he made, who would wear them?I'm angry with you.

The thing that Osamu Dazai is most afraid of now is that his wife will go online with Fei Leishen in the next second, and then find that he is wearing "clothes made by other men"... At that time, he probably won't be treated like sleeping in the living room for a week...

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko noticed that his mind was slightly distracted, but he just thought that Dazai was thinking about the topic of everyone's conversation: "Then Dazai-kun, do you have anything to say about marriage?"

"Marriage... It means that you don't believe that she will always be so good, but it doesn't matter if she is not good. Well, you don't understand after I say it."

The other two: "..."

Dazai Osamu continued to attack slowly, "The two of you here don't even say they are married, don't they even have a lot of experience in love?"

The two present who suffered personal attacks: "..."

"It's too much, Dazai-kun." Dostoevsky accused softly, "How can a person sitting with a warm bonfire use words to slander a traveler who is trekking in the cold and snowy night?"

The black-haired man smiled faintly: "Oh? That means you really want to fall in love? Mr. Fyodor."

"My mind is not on the affairs of men and women." The Russian looked at Osamu Dazai with a half-smile, "Unlike some people, I have loftier and great goals."

"Fyodor-kun is right, Dazai-kun, you are indeed worn away by the hypocrisy and peaceful daily life." Shibusawa Tatsuhiko interjected, "To be honest, the reunion tonight after many years really makes me a little disappointment."

"How do you imagine me, Shibusawa-kun?" Dazai casually played with the silver knife stuck on the bright red apple, "You just saw me briefly six years ago, and I was still the same A naive young man who doesn’t know anything about the world, actually believes in the existence of Santa Claus in the world, and he is accompanied by a despicable dog... Of course I will change like this, right?”

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes and smiled, his iris-colored eyes were deep and gloomy.

"How can you be sure - I'm really as smooth as the surface, smoothed by life?"

Seeing such a gloomy smile, Shibusawa Ryuhiko felt a little relieved.

After confirming the eyes, everyone is an alien.

……

Just when the three masterminds had their own plans, the strange noise and flames finally subsided where the explosion sounded on the edge of the city.Instead, at the cost of the collapse of three high-rise buildings, and the appearance of a huge pothole at least ten meters deep on the ground—fortunately, after the fog of abilities spread, ordinary people without abilities have been temporarily shielded from this "world", and People with supernatural powers have long fought to death with their supernatural incarnations, and they all left these buildings and floors.

"boom!"

Shibukawa Yao slapped the translucent "self" to the ground, and then stabbed the red crystal on the opponent's forehead with a knife.

do i kill myself...

There was a crisp sound of spar shattering in the air, and the supernatural incarnation [Returning Light] turned into fly ash and dissipated, but Shibukawa Yao didn't feel the lost power return to himself.

Why is this so?

She was puzzled and puzzled, but at this moment, her ears heard the sound of violent fighting not far away - the girl rushed to that place immediately, but found that it was an acquaintance fighting with her own supernatural incarnation The fight was non-stop.

She grabbed a gap and touched it silently, rushed over from behind and hugged the limbs of the supernatural avatar, tightly restraining the thing, and then shouted: "Miss Jingzi!"

Although the exclusive doctor of the Armed Detective Agency, who was beaten all over his body by [Please Don’t Die], looked stunned, he swung the thick-backed machete in his hand decisively, and chopped up the red supernatural power on the forehead of [Please Don’t Die]. crystallization.

Strangely, her abilities returned smoothly.

"Yao, thank you for your help." Yosano Akiko thanked her earnestly, while looking at Shibukawa Yo, who was dressed in black and wearing a hat, with the weird eyes of a Two-dimensional lover.

Of course, the latter knew that her attire was the attire of the "Supreme Master", the leader of the Knights Templar in the most popular "Creed" nowadays, but she didn't explain too much, she just asked why her abilities didn't return smoothly. reason.

However, Akiko Yosano was equally puzzled after listening to the question. After thinking for a while, she replied hesitantly: "Probably... I don't really hate the ability [Please Don't Die]."

Many years ago, when she was still working for the military, she participated in a plan with Yosano Akiko... Her ability can revive people with full blood without any side effects, so the "Undead Legion" with her ability as the core " was formed.

She revived those familiar faces countless times, watched them fall in a pool of blood and was sent in countless times, and then revived them again, forcing those young people who had almost collapsed to continue on the battlefield... What outsiders saw was "" "Immortal" treachery and scenery, but all she saw was the endless cycle of painful reincarnation like Shura's hell.

Pain for those comrades in arms, pain for myself, pain for this ability.

——But after many years, went outside and experienced many things, saw more people and things, and Yosano Akiko had already reconciled with his own ability.

But when he heard this answer, Shibukawa Yao's pupils suddenly tightened.

【"You actually hate me, don't you?"】

Somewhere deep in her heart, there seemed to be a voice asking her like this.

Of course Shibukawa Yao has reason to hate his own ability.

She was almost tortured to death when she was young, but her heart failed for a time, and she had to rely on a transplant of [Infinity Compass] to survive.But as the price of saving himself, his father launched an inhumane experiment—the short-lived but broken existence of Dongyun Yuanxing explained everything.

She also doesn't like the way this ability is activated. How can there be such a ridiculous way to activate the ability in the world?It is actually passively activated only when the life is exhausted and maintained at a near-death level.And the final gain is not directly proportional to the loss.

Because of [Back to the Light], she carried many heavy and bloody things, and lost too many people and things worth cherishing.

This excessive weight has already crushed a personality, otherwise it would not be her turn to appear here with her current personality.

It's not so much that she doesn't like this superpower, it's better to say...she doesn't like this kind of self.

After thinking and comprehending all of this, her eyes gradually fell into darkness.

…………

……

"drop."

"drop."

Invisible drops of water fell on the dark and calm surface, making ripples in circles.

Shibukawa Yao stood in the water, the water only submerged her calf shallowly, but when she looked down at the water, she saw the same sad and melancholy face.

"You hate me, don't you?" the "self" in the water asked her again.

"I hate you." Shibukawa Yao replied honestly, "That's why I have only used you once so far."

——At that time, under the unavoidable situation, he was shot in the head, and Seimei's protection by his side was the only way to successfully complete the whole supernatural process.

It's not that I don't know how cool it is to use crowd crushing tactics as a summoner, and it's not that I like to charge into the battle every time and toss myself all over my body... It's not about shaking M, who would like to be injured without anything?

But the stubborn girl simply didn't want to use this ability that made her life a mess.

As a result, [Huang Guang]'s face appeared more intensely sad, "she" seemed to be laughing, but also seemed to be crying.

"So this time, the special ability fog is a good opportunity." The ability said softly, "I will be silent forever... I won't mess up your life anymore."

"It would be great if you were so understanding earlier, Huiguang?" Shibukawa Yao continued.

To be honest, she looked equally helpless and sad at this time, not inferior to the reflection in the water at all.

"..." [Huang Guang] was silent for several seconds before answering, "I have no choice."

"—I grew up with you. When you were young, I couldn't control my own power, but when you grew up, you chose to ignore me."

Shibukawa Yao nodded: "Look, this is the problem."

The reflection in the water looked into her eyes: "You hate me?"

"I hate you."

"Have you ever liked me?"

"I never liked you, maybe that personality in front did like you, I don't know." Shibukawa Yao spread his hands, noticing that the dark water had risen to the level of his knees, "You really should apologize My personality has already been silenced forever one step ahead of all of us. Now I am nothing more than a newborn monster entwined with pain and sin in the depths of my soul."

"...I'm sorry." [Hui Guang] said, "But to me, you and her are the same person."

"No, you just want to make yourself feel better before the silence, Huiguang." Shibukawa Yao pointed out the problem, "You are so arrogant, you are not sincerely apologizing to me or the former master at all, you just... for yourself."

No way, in the spiritual world, everything about each other is so clearly visible, and it is impossible to lie.

The water surface was gurgling and had risen to the waist level. Shibukawa Yao felt that his limbs submerged in the water surface seemed to gradually lose their perception and become non-existent.

"Maybe." [Hui Guang] thought for a while and said, "Maybe I'm selfish in your eyes, but——I'm your superpower, what do I look like, don't you have the same look yourself? "

"I have such abilities, crazy, cruel, selfish, reckless, arrogant, reckless, insisting on driving myself to a dead end... because you are also the same person, Yoshikawa."

Shibukawa Yao was stunned.

She didn't finish speaking, but just looked at the pair of dark pupils that were getting closer in the water.

So familiar, so strange, so...sad.

Obviously, she is about to get rid of this nightmare that has haunted her since birth, but why... is she still so sad?

Probably because—[Returning Light] is the real self in the depths of her soul.

To veto [Huangguang] is to veto yourself.

At this time, the water surface had submerged up to Shibukawa Yao's chin, and a cold and hollow feeling surrounded her whole body.

"No..." Shibukawa Yao who had been silent for a long time suddenly said, "It shouldn't be like this."

The rising trend of the water surface suddenly stopped.

"What?" The supernatural reflection in the water asked suspiciously.

"Although I did hate you before, [Huang Guang],... I was also born because of you. The complex connection between us is like the earth and the trees that grow in it, and it should not be cut off simply and roughly. break."

"Maybe we... can try a new way of getting along again. Since the previous personality likes you, I think——you must have advantages worthy of her liking, but I haven't discovered it yet."

"So, shall we try again?"

The reflection of the ability looked into her eyes, and the girl finally looked at it with a helpless smile.

They were originally one.

Without saying another word, it understood Shibukawa Yao's meaning.

In the past 20 years, she and it have witnessed the past events together, the catastrophes they have experienced together, all the joys, sorrows, sorrows and emotions they have experienced in the same body, and there are many more...the deeper meanings that have not been expressed.

It's no longer a simple, obnoxiously dangerous ability.

It is the embodiment of her inner self.

"... Sigh, you are really a tsundere." [Hui Guang] complained, "You don't have to use such a childish way to keep me."

"What nonsense."

While Shibukawa Yo retorted, he stretched out his hands tremblingly and with difficulty, completely embracing his own shadow in the water.

The coldness and emptiness receded.
