[Gintama] Redemption

The last time Oboro came to the prison was on a cloudy day.

Song Yang, who was sitting on the ground, heard the sound and showed a barely visible smile to the person who came.But he just lowered his head and opened the cell door, hiding all the expressions on his face under the bamboo hat, and he didn't know if he saw that smile or not.

"Teacher Songyang, it's almost time."

He held out his right hand in an inviting gesture.After being slightly stunned, Songyang still got up slowly, jingling the chains on his body.

Just when the two passed by, Xu, who had been lurking in his body, suddenly smiled at Lu.This smile is completely different from the previous one, with a bit of knowing sarcasm, as well as a sinister desire to win.

Of course he didn't see it.

Oboro led them to the edge of the cliff.

Groups of crows were still hovering in the air, whining.Mixed with the deep sound of the Zen stick hitting the ground, it forms a strong contrast.

This scene is so similar to many years ago that, apart from the same scenery, even the main characters are not absent.

When Songyang saw Yin and the others, his face suddenly turned pale, as if he never thought that the matter would develop to this point, while Xu cast his calm eyes on the man standing aside.

——They all underestimated Obscurity's cruelty.

As early as the beginning, Xu reminded Songyang not to save the child.It's not that I expected everything that happened today, but because I am not a kind person.

He said that people who have been soaked in blood often have an obsession that cannot be let go, and this emotion is often easy to rely on the closest people.Once you lose your dependence, you will transfer all your hatred to the person who took it away, wishing to tear it apart.

After many years, this innocent and kind child was finally driven mad by jealousy and paranoia, and became beyond recognition.They were originally from the same school, but they chose to torture each other, ending the life of their mentor.

Since then, I have fallen into the abyss with those children, and there is no chance of turning over.

"How does it feel to be about to be killed by your own students?"

"..."

Song Yang knelt down on the ground, pursed his lips and did not speak.The trembling started from the bottom of his feet and climbed all the way up his limbs, making his fingertips also slightly numb.At the same time, Xu Xu looked at his fingertips and couldn't help being lost in thought.

——There is no doubt that Songyang is afraid.

This is normal, no one is not afraid of death.Even the immortal self, who has always been immortal, cannot keep his heart beating at a normal frequency when facing death again.

Not to mention another personality that never died.

That kind of feeling cannot be empathized by the living.

That's why, long ago, they would kill themselves nonchalantly again and again.

The combined use of swords and swords has long been unable to wipe out the fear and hatred deep into the bone marrow of those people, and they began to look for new methods one after another.

Plants with bloody throats in spring, scorching fires in summer, lifeless soil in autumn, icy rivers in winter...these are more cruel existences than cold weapons.

The things that nature bestows on human beings are always infinitely tolerant. They gradually tighten their bounds step by step, bringing suffocating discomfort and pain, but they can never give him a happy feeling.

Later those people gave up the idea of ​​killing him.

They imprisoned themselves in a dark prison and tortured this immortal monster for decades.

Anyway, the gouged out eyes can still recover their eyesight, the cut off limbs can still grow, and the blood that has been let go can be recreated. Over time, Xu has adapted to this state.

He had looked up at the tightly closed window countless times, longing to see a ray of light outside the window.Until the beating pulse began to slowly slow down, and the breath he exhaled began to decay and stale, he was still desperate after all.

Before I knew it, my heart began to become pitch black like the surroundings.

His first personality was born under such circumstances.

It was a very vicious personality, and the first thing he said was - "What are you enduring? Why don't you pay back all the pain these people have inflicted on you?"

Xu suddenly had a splitting headache, the feeling made him want to scratch his body until blood flowed.In the end, he broke free from the prison that people restrained himself, and pierced a stranger's chest with his nails that hadn't been trimmed for a long time.

The blood trickled down the arm and fell to the ground, slowly converging into a bright red stream.

He smiled strangely, rejoicing that after many years, he finally saw the color of life again.

Later Xu killed his first personality.

In fact, not only this one died, but tens of thousands more.They originally existed to alleviate the pain in their hearts, but in the end, without exception, they all pointed their swords at him, even the only kind personality.

Stand up and resist, beheading all the way.

The sinners are never judged, they die in the dust and come back again.When he was finally able to stop and rest for a while, there were already corpses strewn all over his side.

Xu laughed loudly among the corpses, he desperately wanted to redeem himself, but finally found that he had long since lost the qualification to be redeemed.

"Songyang, no matter how we fight, it will be our unchanging destiny to experience the constant pain."

Xu looked at the other personality kneeling on the ground, as if seeing himself many years ago.

They were both young then, and they all had hopes and fantasies about being alive.In the end, it was shredded to pieces by the wheel of fate, leaving no residue.

"Xu, I know that life is born to be painful, but..."

Songyang didn't finish speaking, and he didn't seem to have any intention to continue.His clothes were blown away by the strong wind on the edge of the cliff, but his eyes looking back at Yin Shi were as gentle as ever.

The poor boy could barely hold his weapon steady.

Xu Ye slowly raised the sword in his hand.

The moment he swung it down, he seemed to see Songyang say "thank you", and he knew it was to Yinshi behind him, and had nothing to do with him.Maybe it was also said to him?I don't know.

At this moment, he could only watch quietly.

He saw Song Yang's long hair flying up and down in the wind, the sword blade that was close at hand was still glowing white, and the tears falling from the corners of Yin Shi's eyes hit the ground drop by drop, as if hitting his own heart.

Xu still smiled.

——If living is a kind of pain, then let him bear the endless torture brought about by eternal life.

The author has something to say:

I went back to read the manga today, and suddenly found that only Songyang was actually resisting Xu.Uh...it's been a while since I read it, and I really forgot about this detail when I wrote the article. It's not easy to modify it after much deliberation, so I can only make mistakes, sorry~
