Tomie Tsuji

Even if it was a question, Fu Jiang already had the answer in his heart when he blurted it out.

The answer is of course no.

The moment the bell of awakening was rung, she opened her eyes and understood her mission—there were so many undead, but she was the only one awakened in the entire cemetery.

Even afterwards, she ignorantly walked to the fire-spreading sacrificial field, and heard about her mission again from the fire-proof woman—in order to maintain the operation of the original fire, she must go to fire-spreading fire—as a woman with a powerful soul. As the salary king, she should throw herself into the initial furnace.

"If you are used as firewood, it should burn for a long time."

When she heard these words, she actually felt something like 'panic' in her heart.

Before she woke up, she didn't remember who she was, and she had no memory of the past. Even her appearance was a horrible living corpse, and her emotions were very lacking. All of these made her feel a strong sense of insecurity—— She knew why she became like this, because she lost her 'humanity'.

The difference between living corpses and human beings is 'humanity'.

Fu Jiang—of course, at that time she was not called Fu Jiang, she even forgot her own name, and she was not sure if she had a name before—she knew that if the initial fire was extinguished, the whole world would be plunged into darkness, and the whole world would fall into darkness. Turning her soul into firewood to continue the original fire was her awakened mission.

Knowing it is one thing, but doing it is another.

Before the arrival of this new era, there was a time when humans existed even longer ago, the Age of Fire.

Before the age of fire, there was only the eternal dragon in the world, and life and death did not exist until fire appeared... The fire brought darkness and light, and in it, people were born.If the flame is extinguished, the whole world will return to darkness, and only the eternal dragon can survive, so it is not wrong to say that it is the original fire that keeps the world running.

The age of fire is different from the new era... People in the new era may not be able to imagine that such a situation existed in ancient times.Because there are planets, suns, and electricity in the new era, even if the flames are extinguished, they will always have a way to bring light... What's more, the sun in the sky will not be in danger of extinguishing, and there is no need for anyone to use themselves souls for firewood.

After all, these are two different eras. The new era is more ideal and more desirable. This may be one of the reasons why Fu Jiang is nostalgic-but she was born in the age of fire.

Far longer than people think.

She just woke up but didn't know anything, even if she had a very faint fear in her heart, she still walked on the road of spreading fire... All this ended when she regained her 'humanity'.

It might be a little hard to understand... After all, in today's cognition, souls, human nature and other existences are invisible and elusive things, but in that era of materialization of souls, all of these things will happen after people die. Drop—and because of this, it becomes something that can be plundered and swallowed.

She gained humanity, turned from a living corpse into a human again, found her missing emotions, and tasted the sweetness... She began to actively hunt and kill those surviving people, plundering more and more humanity from them, Until the end, she didn't want to spread the fire any more.

But she didn't want to watch the flame go out.

In the final analysis, all these thoughts are just because she doesn't want to die... But don't say that she will be with it forever if she joins the primordial fire, she would rather she is still a despicable undead.She hoped to live in a bright world, but she didn't want to be the one who continued to ignite the original fire, so she came up with another idea - to grab some substitutes.

She doesn't know what kind of existence she used to be, but what she can be sure of is that she is powerful enough, otherwise she would not have such a soul strong enough to be the first match. She approached several other strong men in the world today and forcibly They threw themselves into the Inception Furnace, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after continuing the fire—then fell into a new round of panic.

Sooner or later, the firewood will be burned out, but she is undead. At that time, where will she find so many powerful souls as new firewood?

She wanted to live, the flame made her fascinated and admired, but also... made her fear.

The only thing that could really kill her was fire.

So she escaped this painful reincarnation for her—she is not ashamed to be a loser, a deserter, her moral bottom line is extremely low, as long as she can survive, everything is fine.

Human nature is a fragment of the dark soul. After gaining a lot of human nature, Fu Jiang can still not go crazy, but maintain herself—she is such a despicable person, and maybe it has nothing to do with being eroded by darkness after devouring a lot of human nature—— It's already pretty amazing, even if she encounters the black mud of the holy grail of the new era, she must be able to escape unscathed.

Fu Jiang was able to see through the tricks of the government of the time because he had experienced it himself-although the two are fundamentally different, the government of the time is denying the future and protecting the past, while Fu Jiang is denying the past. Save the future.

She separated the age of fire from the long river of history and became a sad reincarnation that existed alone, but she fled to the possible "future" regardless of the safety of the original world.

And the modern age is the farthest end she can reach.

Every time in modern times, there will be new crises, just like the human-headed balloons, fish, or other things they have seen before, and even Fu Jiang himself-here I have to say, her "unchanged" It was because she was originally a human being transformed from a living corpse after gaining human nature, and she had stopped growing long ago.And all her split individuals are actually a part of 'human nature', so they usually pay more attention to pleasure than her, and they have no lower limit. They are all the sediment of the soul of darkness. When it starts to spread, it will also When the abyss descends... It is not uncommon for human beings to be gradually eroded by the darkness called Fu Jiang.

But the world will not stop there, but will be reset. Of course, this is not entirely Fu Jiang's handwriting.

Even if the new era is separated from the age of fire, that connection will never be severed. The end of the world means the extinguishment of the flames of the age of fire, and the restart of the world means another bad luck in the age of fire. The undead are awakened to spread fire.

Such a sad cycle.

No one except Fu Jiang remembered.

She wanted to find a future where she could survive without continuing the flame, but now she got this bad news.

She knew it...she knew it from the beginning.The so-called "weirdness" is actually the embodiment of the abyss, and weirdness will attract each other... If Fu Jiang, the person carrying the soul of darkness, did not exist, but was burned to death along with other king souls in the age of fire, The abyss will not descend into this world.

She let out a long breath.

"Miss Fu Jiang...?" Bai Ze saw that her eyes became clear again, but her temperament seemed to have changed a lot, and he called her hesitantly.

Fu Jiang calmly said "um", but this time she couldn't hear her pain, despair and anger just now.

"You've already made a decision." Bai Ze said firmly.

Fu Jiang didn't answer, but just looked at the sky with a sense of loss - in her memory, at the position of the sun, there should be a ring of darkness like a total solar eclipse.

***

On the day Fu Jiang and Bai Ze went back, they did not say goodbye, but embarked on their respective return journeys in a tacit understanding.

Bai Ze has tried his best to persuade him, and the next thing is out of his control-after all, even if he is an ancient beast, Fu Jiang is an existence older than him.He can only try to influence and interfere with her will, but he cannot control her.

On the same day, some people all over the world had a wonderful feeling - not limited to modern times, but people of different time periods. The only thing in common is that they have all been in contact with Fu Jiang and witnessed Fu Jiang's departure or death, and...has some special feelings for her.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked at his junior brother Kamado Tanjiro who rushed forward with injuries during the decisive battle in Infinity City. Even though his body was so painful that even his actions seemed to cause secondary trauma to his body, he still gritted his teeth and rushed forward again.

Their long-cherished wish of the Ghost Slayer Squad is about to come to an end...as long as they can delay the time, Ghost Wu Tsuji will disappear completely from this world!

The belief in his heart will always support him to move forward, but he still has a moment of distraction-and at this critical moment, distraction often means that it is very likely that he will lose his life.

Fortunately, he was rescued, and his companion asked angrily, "Why did you suddenly stand still at that time?!"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki had no way to explain it, and even he himself didn't know the reason. He knew that his companions were just caring about him, so he pursed his lips and launched a more ferocious attack than before.

He just felt... as if something was missing, and something had changed.

Even if they are here to duel with Oni Wu Tsuji, he feels it is ridiculous... It's as if, before they rushed to the battlefield, Oni Wu Tsuji should have died.He will also see the most beautiful picture in this life - the 'beauty of death'.

...is an illusion.

Today is the first issue of Yizheng, who is in charge of helping Candlestick cut Guangzhong.

After everyone finished their dinner, he habitually left some dessert in the pot to keep warm.

"Phase [-], what's the matter, haven't you had enough for dinner?" Candlestick Qie Guangzhong asked suspiciously after noticing it.

He froze for a moment, and also realized that his behavior was a little weird, but these were all actions he made without going through his brain, and even he didn't think so much at first... Why did he heat these desserts?

"Ah, no, it's a supper for my younger brothers." He responded.

"Oh, what a considerate brother." Candlestick Qie Guangzhong said with emotion, and left.

Yizhen stood alone in the lonely room, a little dazed and confused.Of course he knew he wasn't thinking of his brothers when he was preparing these pastries... Who the hell was he preparing them for?

It doesn't matter if he can't remember, he thinks Honmaru is already very good now.

It's good that no god judge went crazy, no brother fell secretly, and he didn't leave them indiscriminately—ah, how could he have such pessimistic thoughts?He knocked himself on the head one by one, and while he was puzzled, there was also an unspeakable sadness permeating the air. His whole body seemed to be divided into two halves, but the sadness was incomprehensible.

He suddenly panicked, went to the dormitory of his brothers, and shouted, "Chaos?"

"Brother Phase One? The chaos doesn't seem to be there..." Hou scratched his head and said, "He seemed to be in a bad mood just now, and he walked towards the rockery."

Yiqi Yizhen walked to the rockery, and sure enough, he saw the lonely back of Luan Yiren.

Although his footsteps were light enough, Luan was a dagger after all, and he could sense it without turning his head. Luan took the lead and said, "Brother Yiqi...you feel it too, don't you?"

One issue and one shock did not ask what he said.

Because it was indeed just a strange feeling—as if something was missing, as if it shouldn't be like this, as if... all these beautiful realities are just false illusions.

"Don't think too much." After a long time, he comforted his younger brother, "There is nothing."

His tone was firm, because he always knew what was most important to him.

"Compared to this, the Government of Time has heard that it will start recruiting god judges from the present and the future. It is estimated that many future technologies will be brought to Wanwu. Although the agreement has been signed, the number that can be brought is very limited... ...But it is a product from the future, do you want to see it? The judge said that he will show us around Wanwu tomorrow." The first issue changed the subject.

"...Well, I am looking forward to... the future." Luan took another look at the moon hanging in the sky, finally retracted his gaze, and returned to the room side by side with Yiqi Yizhen.

One issue and one shock have their own ideas.

If that lost thing is not good, then don't seek it.

All this is just an illusion.

Oni Wu Tsuji didn't remember what he had forgotten until before he died.

He used to think that he would never forget those shameful memories... He was easily attacked by a weak-looking woman, and was humiliated by throwing him into a cesspool, but he hadn't taken revenge in time.

He hated Fu Jiang no less than he hated Ji Guo Yuanyi—maybe even more.

After all, Ji Guoyuan was just an ordinary human being who killed his whole family. He wanted to attack him by virtue of his excellent swordsmanship and breathing skills, but Fu Jiang just attacked him when he lost to Ji Guoyuan. Not aboveboard, but also humiliating him with such dirty means.

But Fu Jiang didn't know what method he used to erase his memory.

...But when Ji Guoyuanyi was still alive, he didn't dare to come out to be a demon, and his life was the most important thing.If Fu Jiang was just an ordinary human being, he should have died long ago, right?

It happened that he met Fu Jiang again in the Taisho period hundreds of years later. He didn't remember the memory of being humiliated. He played a husband and wife game with her for a year. After that, Fu Jiang turned against his subordinates and killed her. own.

The above are his forgotten memories.

He did die again this time, but it had nothing to do with Fu Jiang... According to his 'new memory', it was as if Fu Jiang had never appeared before, and only the Ghost Slayers had been fighting against him all this time.

But he just remembered everything before he died.

He didn't know why he was the only one who thought of this, but it didn't prevent him from showing a mocking and happy smile even though he knew he was going to die.

Ha, even existence has been erased... I really don't know who is more pitiful.

He is the one who wins in the end!As he thought, he gradually lost consciousness in the sunlight, and his body also began to burn under the sunlight.

'You win?You win in your dreams.People like you can't even do it with a salary. '

He suddenly seemed to hear a woman's voice—maybe it was an auditory hallucination. He suddenly opened his eyes. The sun was scorching hot and dazzling. What made him gnash his teeth the most was not the long-lost sun, but the darkness that appeared after he closed his eyes. Ring, and ear sounds.

'It's your fate to swallow the blood of the dark soul, it's really sad, hahaha! '

She laughed wildly in his ear again.

He couldn't understand the meaning of these words, but this didn't prevent the killing intent from rising in his heart. He reluctantly raised his sunburned arm -- but he couldn't attack the invisible enemy.

After all, he turned into ashes without fire.

Maybe this is the price of plundering the blood that shouldn't belong to him, and living for so long - from another perspective, at least he who has this blood can recall this memory at the last moment.

...Although this does not seem to be a good thing.

Bai Ze also had a premonition, but he didn't pay much attention to it—beautiful beauties are more worthy of his attention, and he threw himself into a new round of strike-up.

Even because Fu Jiang finally chooses to return to the age of fire, and joins the initial fire to continue the initial fire-this can be said to be the only behavior in her life that can be called a hero, maybe human nature has brought so many disadvantages, but also happened Have some fantastic reactions?Even if she chooses to spread the fire now, she doesn't think it's useless to escape to those years in the future-that is the experience she really cherishes.

... It was those experiences that taught her how to be a 'human'.

Having said that, even if she chooses to spread fire, the new era in the future will automatically erase the traces of her existence and make corrections, but the historical development that has already existed is difficult to change at will.

At best, suppression can only modify the development of some world lines, making them the same as other world lines. For example, the death of Oni Wu Tsuji is inevitable, but the cause of death can be integrated with the world that Tomie did not interfere, but some have always existed. , something that must exist, but it has no way to change it.

For example... the severed head of Fu Jiang.

No matter what form it takes, there will always be a head that belongs to Fu Jiang and was chopped off by Undead, and it will eventually end up on the black market to be scrambled for.

By chance, Osamu Dazai found fragments of the diary he had written from the relics of Sakunosuke Oda.

'[] Said that after she died, she hoped that I could help her collect her relics and set up a tombstone, but not let me bury her body in the grave... I really don't understand why she has such thoughts, is it too pessimistic?A girl of this age is thinking about the afterlife all day long, but she must not be introduced to Dazai.

But since I promised, I will do it, I really hope there will be no such day.

Her tomb is in the xx cemetery on xx road. I have to record it... It's strange that my memory has faded after her death. I can't remember her name anymore. Why didn't I write it clearly in the diary before?Or... was it erased?

I almost forgot what she looked like. I just remember that there was a tear mole under the corner of her eye. She was very pretty... I heard that there is a head that looks exactly like her in the black market in Ikebukuro. numb.

...Is this a relic?Fulfilling other people's last wishes does not seem to be an easy task. '

After that there will be no more.

He could tell at a glance that the name was not written by Oda Saku, but was indeed erased by something, and he could guess it from the vacant position.Osamu Dazai didn't know what kind of mentality he was in, so he also went to the xx cemetery in the diary fragment-even though he didn't have a specific location or a name, he was still able to find the tombstone.

After all, there was only one tombstone that had nothing engraved on it, but was smooth, like an ordinary stone tablet.

He came to dig the grave that night—the grave was still empty, and there was nothing there.

Osamu Dazai was not surprised by this either.

Fortunately, Odasaku left enough key information in his diary. Dazai Osamu was also in a certain state of mind and determined to complete what Odasaku promised others before his death. He found out whose head the beauty's head, which was used as a collection, finally went to. In his hands, he tried to trick him again - cheating is actually not appropriate, he can only say that he 'exchanged' this head with information.

When he actually touched the head, he didn't feel any fear. It was clearly a dead head, but it felt like a living person... It also gave him a sense of familiarity.

He buried the head and the leftover pages of Oda's diary in the tomb, and engraved the word "Fu Jiang" on the tombstone according to his own will.

Maybe he knew her before?He thought, but didn't pay much attention.

After completing what Odasaku promised others but failed to do, he left and returned to his daily life.

... nothing seems to have changed.

***

When the staff responsible for patrolling the cemetery passed by, they took a second look at the blank tombstone because someone had written their name on it—and found that the ground seemed to be... trembling?

After all, this is a cemetery, he immediately thought of something bad, his face became extremely bad, he took two steps back, and looked at everything that happened in front of him in horror.

A hand suddenly protruded from the grass in front of the tombstone, it looked very soft and fair, it was a woman's hand.

The staff was frightened and froze in place, not daring to move, and even felt that they were about to lose control.

He watched helplessly as the hand was planing carelessly, and finally the whole head was poked out, the disheveled face was covered with grass roots, but it did not hinder her beauty, and the tear mole under the corner of the eye also added charm.

She spat twice, rolled her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "Who was so wicked to bury me here... I said don't bury me, don't bury me!"

Immortal Slash can sever vitality, forcibly stripping off a large piece of soul that belongs to the fire bearer itself—the part that has not been infected by the soul of darkness.A head containing a pure soul without dark soul deposits cannot be regenerated, maybe after a long time, it will naturally dissipate in the world, right?After all, this era no longer needs to burn souls.

But someone brought it back and gave it a name.

Thus, she has a new meaning of existence - after she is forgotten and erased by the whole world.

... This time, it's not a nameless living corpse, nor is it an undead who is tasked with spreading fire.

If you want to transform from a heroic soul into a human being with a body, you still need to work hard.

The author has something to say: This is TE, is it considered open?Tomorrow there will be another chapter of HE!Let me think about it, just explain a few points!

1. I have been emphasizing that weirdness will attract each other!Not only because they are different works, but because they are all fragments of Dark Souls

2. The head did not regenerate or wake up because it was cut off by Immortal Slash. It itself is actually equivalent to a large sediment of Fu Jiang's original soul, that is, before Fu Jiang obtained humanity (humanity is a fragment of the dark soul) The soul of a great hero, it does not exist in the future after being wiped out of existence, and after being engraved on the tombstone by Dazai, it is also endowed with the meaning of existence. She is actually a heroic spirit now—but at least she got rid of The endless curse and cycle of the undead, with a new life

3. In Chapter 3, I mentioned that I knew Odasaku, although at the time I didn’t think that I would use this point, let Dazai be a tool for recovering heads hahaha

4. Wu Mi can remember because in the setting he will become a ghost because he was injected with Fu Jiang's blood, which was written earlier

5. Every time Fu Jiang dies, she will lose her 'humanity' and return to her original appearance, but as she lives longer and longer, she is more and more affected by human nature.Although the setting of human nature is a fragment of Dark Soul, when she became a human, she still came into contact with a lot of positive emotions, and it still affected it to some extent.

6. Finally throwing oneself into the flames is a helpless act, and it is also a glimmer of life. It is better than an endless cycle of death. In the end, the soul of darkness is burnt out, and the remaining ashes that really belong to Fu Jiang are also useful in the episode. After all, Ashes can also be awakened by the Bell of Awakening hehehe

7. Every time she has a bad death, it is also because of the curse of the undead. After completing her destiny and getting rid of the curse and the ring of darkness, her new life will not be so bad, right?

8. This world view of Chuanhuo is from the well-known love simulation game Dark Souls. It is not a loss if you enter the pit, it is invincible and interesting! ! !Amway

Then the author's thoughts:

This is the first time I wrote such a long story. In fact, the number of people who read the article dropped sharply after the vampires live together, but I still want to finish the story. (Yes, although I don’t know how the plot will go, but what world will I still think about any changes! Especially the ending, I always think about the ending every time I start an article 233) Now it’s finally time to stick to it and finish writing!

Although I feel that everyone started watching Tomie as a Shura field for her beauty, but I was... more impressed with Ito-sensei's spiritual pollution. After all, we all know that she is really miserable in the original book.The male protagonist who made the reservation at the beginning was actually Wu Mi, but it was written and found that they were so disdainful that they couldn’t think about it. I also tried it before.What surprised me even more (?) was that at the end of the writing, I strangled all the shares, including the first brother who was quite popular in the vampire chapter. Impossible he's!Mess and feel too small and that kind of relationship is too sick and has nothing to do with love (mainly because you can't let go)

And I feel that what Fu Jiang needs is not to fall in love, but to avoid being killed all the time, to avoid "never being loved without killing intent", and to get rid of this painful cycle of reincarnation-so he became this Open ending.It's okay, there is HE after this ending, but I didn't think about what to write (???) But I can make her live as a normal person, and I feel happy doing anything.

Well, I think this is the best ending for her, because she has hope and a 'future'.

Finally, advertise and ask for the author's column (what kind of Pokémon I am doing, it will be good if I don't drop it), and there are pre-received articles! "Inosuke of the Bliss of the World" "It's not impossible to talk about having too many boyfriends"

Is there anything else you want to watch?You can do whatever you want, you don’t have to write (poof) Lalang is fine too, but Lalang I have to see if I can imagine cp interaction (Narcissus is the best way to imagine! Narcissus is so delicious!) (Type a For example, don’t pull Fujiang and Cthulhu, which are too weird, I can’t handle this)

The babies who left comments in the previous chapter and this chapter all sent red envelopes. Thank you for staying with me for so long. Click, I don’t know if anyone is reading article 2333
