I rely on cooking to dominate the ghost killing team

Wuyue heard the anchor's footsteps and stopped beside him, and his hand lightly pressed on his shoulder.

"You'd better sit down for a while. You're very tired, aren't you?"

His tone seemed to have lost the usual flirtatious indifference, but a little more calmness that May had never heard before.

May stood there for a while, then sat down on her knees, without saying anything, although she really wanted to tell the anchor that she was not very tired now—yes, the tiredness did fill her limbs, but She wouldn't take this insignificant feeling to heart at all.

She also wants to tell the anchor that sitting on the edge of a short flower bed is actually not a comfortable experience, but it will bring a feeling of weak legs and low back pain, so it is better to continue standing.

But she sat down anyway.She didn't know why, maybe this posture made her feel a little more at ease.

The anchor also sat down.He specially stayed close to Wu Yue, watching her secretly from time to time.

He hoped that May could bring up the topic by herself, but she didn't say anything, and even closed her eyes, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Yes, what she just said was that she wanted to give the answer by herself.Anchoring thought, he really shouldn't let Wuyue raise doubts on his own initiative.

After all, she didn't appear here voluntarily.

Anchor bent his legs and wrapped his arms around his knees.Inadvertently, he assumed the same posture as May.

After talking in his heart for a while, he finally said: "I gave the 'escape route' to Tomioka Yoshiyuki, just when you returned to Heisei by accident last time. I don't want you to know, so I told you When Tomioka Yoshiyuki was alone, I gave him the white jade. I also told him not to tell you about this... That is to say, we are having such a conversation here now, all because of me Such a selfish decision was made."

This time, the anchor did not use the usual "brat" to address Yiyong, but said his full name rarely.

It seems that this is the first time.

It's a pity that Yiyong couldn't hear it, otherwise he should be happy.

Wu Yue stared at the row of ants crawling on the ground, as if she didn't hear what the anchor said.The anchor was a little tense.He tugged at the neckline, letting the uncool wind blow into his clothes.

Should I repeat what I just said?No... Did she really not hear what he said in May, or did she simply choose to answer silently because of her anger and his selfish decision?

The omniscient anchor felt the panic of ignorance at this moment.He didn't dare to cling to Wuyue's warm arms anymore, for fear of making her even more angry.

He consciously moved to the side.It felt like the distance was still a little too close, so he moved a little further away.

After what seemed like a long wait—but it was only a few seconds—Anchor finally heard May's answer.

"That's right... I understand."

Wuyue picked off a blade of grass and threw it on the ground, which happened to land on the path of the little ants.The ants frantically ran about, but soon resumed their straight track.

May didn't say anything after that.The silence and waiting made the anchor anxious.He looked at the ant, then at May, and after going back and forth several times, his patience couldn't be stretched anymore, and he hesitated and said, "You...do you want to say something? Uh...the ants really have Is it so pretty?"

"It's not bad, it's pretty." Wu Yue decently answered the question thrown to her by the anchor, "Do you know that there is a kind of toy—it should be called a toy, I think—in short, it is the same as Things related to ants. Speaking of it, it is a bit similar to a terrarium. It is a transparent plastic box filled with transparent blue crystal mud. Keep a nest of ants in it, and they will build a nest in it. After raising it for a long time, I can clearly observe the specific structure of the ant nest. Sounds cool, right? When I was in junior high school, a classmate brought the ant nest box I raised. I was very envious at the time. , and secretly hoped that one day I would also have such a cool toy... Anchor, I died in Infinity City, right?"

The topic suddenly changed from ant toys to the current reality, Wu Yue seemed to say something just as soon as he thought of it.This too rigid turn makes the anchor feel uncomfortable.

Especially her last sentence.

The anchor could hear that it wasn't her questioning, nor could she hear any joy of escape.

She just said the most ordinary words in the most ordinary tone - the emotional fluctuations in these words were not even as great as the emotional fluctuations when she asked herself what she wanted to eat when he went to Tomioka's house for dinner .

But this unexpected peace made Ancho feel even more ashamed of his selfish decision.He pursed his lips and clenched his fists in secret confession.

"So I died in there. Right?"

The anchor still did not squeak.He knew his actions were shameful evasions, and he didn't deny it.

But he really couldn't get the words out of his mouth.

There was no way to tell Wuyue calmly whether she had indeed died in the Infinite City, or in an extremely tragic way.She turned into fragments, scattered in every corner of the infinitely changing infinite city.After the fierce battle, members of the Ghost Slayer Squad's backup force "Hidden" tried hard to put her back together, but found that they couldn't bring her back to her original form.

And, she couldn't sew any more, and she was still completely unrecognizable.She looks like Frankenstein's monster.

In that future, Anchor saw the surviving Yiyong standing silently beside her corpse, brushing every sutured wound on Wuyue's body with trembling fingertips, and never said a single word.

The anchor knew that this silence was an emotion he would never understand.

With such a painful future, how can Jean Anchor tell May?

So he had no choice but to choose silence, letting the quiet air dilute the sadness that filled each other.

Wuyue rested her head on her lap, and her hanging left hand began to tremble unconsciously again, but she didn't pay much attention to it.She closed her eyes and said slowly: "So, now that I have left the Infinite City, the future has changed. So, in this future, have I survived?"

The anchor pursed his lips, his face stiffened.He felt that he should shut up, but in the end he chose to be honest.

"I don't know." He said decisively, in order not to make himself feel too painful, "I can't see your future clearly... Maybe it's because I interfered too much in your life trajectory."

When Anchor met her by accident for the first time, Anchor could still see her future very clearly-surviving the battle of Infinity City, living a normal life with Yi Yong, and living his life like a normal person. s future.

But with his intervention, May's future changed.Anchor seems to inadvertently topple a domino, and May's life trajectory is completely reversed, and finally draws an end in Infinity City.

"To be honest, when I saw this future, I was stunned. I didn't believe that this kind of thing would happen, and I didn't want this kind of thing to happen. So I took measures to lead to Heisei The white jade stinks... I gave it to Tomioka Yoshiyuki, because I know that if I give it to you, you won't be able to use it."

"You guessed it right." Wu Yue said suddenly.

She sat closer to the anchor, resting her head on his shoulder.In the eyes of others, they may feel that they are a close father and daughter.

Her long blood-stained hair fell on the Anchor's sleeve, staining the light-colored fabric, but the Anchor made no objection.He just touched her forehead lightly.

"I know, you humans are different from me." His words seemed a bit abrupt, "Human life is fragile, and one day it will come to an end—your time is limited. I know, I know everything ...But I don't want you to die tragically in the Infinite City according to the future I see."

It should never have ended like this.

"I want you to live well, I want you to have your own home, and I want you to see all the beauty in this world...My dear child, I have too many expectations of you."

The sound of the anchor was so soft that it was almost lost in the wind.

"I made a selfish decision, and I don't expect to ask for forgiveness. Intervening in your life, saving you from the hands of evil spirits, and doing all of this, I have violated my role as an 'anchor' Since I have already done such presumptuous things, it should be possible to be a little more presumptuous and let you live in peace—anyway, I have already done something wrong, so it doesn’t matter if I make another mistake.”

Vaguely, he seemed to feel May shaking his head.

"I'm glad you have the heart. Thank you, thank you very much. It's just..."

She paused, as if she was thinking about how to say this, but she still couldn't think of the right words after thinking for a while.She slowly sat up straight, straightened her bent legs, and stretched every muscle as hard as she could.

In the end, she finally opened her mouth after wiping the sun wheel knife clean.

"My companions were fighting the demons, and I was running away from the battlefield. Although I didn't want to run away, the reality is that I left the battlefield and I was safe alone. I don't like it, Anchor. Wuyue expressed her feelings bluntly, she looked at the anchor, her eyes were filled with indelible determination, "I have never escaped from everything that happened to me—whether it was the hatred of the Takio family or the past. I have never escaped pain. This time I don't want to escape either. Even if the end that awaits me is death, I will not escape... So, can you send me back to the battlefield? I want to be with my Comrades, let's fight together."

Would the anchor not know this feeling?Of course he does.

It is precisely because of saying such things that May is May.he thinks.

But facing May's request, he shook his head.

"No. I can't do it," he said. "It's not that I don't want to do it, but I can't send you back to the Infinite City."

Infinite City is a product of vampirism, beyond the control of the anchor.It is difficult for him to perceive the location of the infinite city, and he cannot step into it at all.

That's why he took Wuyue out of the Infinite City by virtue of his bravery, instead of doing it himself.

"Returning to Infinite City or something, you should give up this idea." The anchor persuaded, "I know you will not accept my best suggestion-send you directly to the time when Gui Wu Tsuji was killed Suggestion—but I hope you'll think about it anyway. Okay?"

"Isn't that still escaping?" Wu Yue resolutely denied, unconsciously tinged with a little irritation in her words, she murmured, "I can't accept escaping, absolutely not. Even if I can't enter the infinite city, I will If you want to do something for the Ghost Killing Team, there must be... Wait, I thought of it!"

May held the anchor's hand tightly, her eyes lit up.

"Send me to that place—I can still fight there!"
