The whole world knows that I crossed

Although Yetou's expression was a little hesitant and struggling, Qiao Wen didn't like his answer very much.

Maybe even now, Yato is still unable to make up his mind to kill his "father", and some people think he is too soft-hearted, but it is precisely because of this soft-heartedness and this "humanity" that Yato can become Today's Night Fight.

So Qiao Wen was not surprised that Ba Wei got the same answer from Ye Dou again as before.

"...Sorry." The black-haired god's voice was full of helplessness and depression, "Even if he even threatens me with Hiyori's safety..."

However, he who has come all the way from the blood and killing, still can't kill that person.

"Maybe I care too much about the past after all." Yato laughed at himself.

Even in the eyes of others, it is a distorted, malicious and dirty past, but for Yato, it is after all his "beautiful", "happy" and "happy" childhood.

Those him, that person and... "Fei", the long and quiet time spent by the three of them together, those smiles and tenderness, those soft words, those caring...

It would be fine if that person hadn't led him maliciously.

It would be great if there were no killings and darkness, and if that time was always full of real warmth and laughter.

Even though he knew it was just his own wishful thinking, Yato couldn't stop thinking about it.

After all, he couldn't do anything to that person.

Yato covered his cheeks dejectedly.

"If..." he murmured, "if Hiyori really gets hurt because of this..."

"Then I'll probably never forgive myself."

This dejected and fragile picture, as if resigned to fate, immediately enraged Bawei.

"Look at your appearance." The demon fox's anger did not erupt wantonly, but was cold and congealed, like a flame burning in an ice cube. At first, people couldn't even feel its temperature.

He stared at the black-haired god in front of him, without any anger in his tone, as calm as the calm water:

"Did you eat all the previous enlightenment of King Yan Mo? If you don't have an epiphany at all, don't pretend to be enlightened to mislead me to waste unnecessary time on you."

"I..." Ye Dou opened his mouth, with a blank expression on his face: "What is the enlightenment of King Yan Mo? What epiphany? What are you talking about...?"

Ba Wei and Qiao Wen's expressions changed when they heard the words.

"do not you remember?"

Ba Wei stared closely at Yato's eyes, carefully distinguishing the emotions in his eyes.

However, the only response to him was Yato's increasingly puzzled eyes: "What don't you remember...?"

This time, Ba Wei's face became completely gloomy.

"You've seen that man since you left hell, haven't you?"

Although Yeto couldn't figure out why Ba Wei and Qiao Wen suddenly became serious, but the reaction of the two of them also made him realize that something happened that he didn't know, so he answered honestly:

"I met... not long ago, didn't you guess the reason for meeting?"

Why are you asking again...

"No," Bawei interrupted him, "Have you seen him before this time?"

Yato shook his head: "Of course not. If it wasn't for this time that he had something important to entrust to me, he would never have come out to see me—you know the reason, don't you?"

That person didn't trust Yato, and if he had other options, he would never have met Yato in person.

Bawei took a deep look at Yato, and the meaning in his eyes made the latter tremble.

"There's something wrong with your memory." Bawei said firmly.Without waiting for Yato to speak, he quickly continued: "Not only memory, but also your cognition, it seems to be subtly affected..."

The forgotten matter of King Yan Mo's explanation was temporarily put aside. (King Yan Mo: ???)

Originally, Yato did have certain feelings for his "father", and was unable to kill him because of the past, but the main reason why Yato would not kill that person was not because of his feelings for that person, or because of the past. It is because Yato, who has had such an experience, respects and cherishes life more than many gods. He is unwilling to take anyone's life for nothing, even if it is a scumbag.

But what Yato shows now is more of his attachment to that person, his nostalgia and reluctance for the "beautiful past" between them. He didn't kill that person, not out of reverence and cherishment of life, but It's because of the person himself...

This is so abnormal.

Bawei's brows became a little colder.

"Damn sorcerer... actually playing this trick!"

Yato also reacted now.

He said to himself: "No wonder..."

No wonder that person called his name several times when we met before—not the name "Yato", but another, "real name" that belonged to him.

Originally, Yato thought that this was also a means of putting pressure on the other party, the purpose was to make him not to resist and to be obedient.

But now it seems that no matter what method the other party uses to tamper with his memory, or even affect his consciousness, calling his real name is to stabilize this method.

— After all, the name is the shortest curse, isn't it?

Maybe, the spell itself is based on the real name.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very possible, and Yato couldn't help telling Bawei his guess.

After hearing this, the demon fox's face became even more gloomy.

"Is it bound by name... It really looks like the method that guy would use."

I don't know if it's because of being pointed out, Yato suddenly felt that his mind seemed to be much clearer, and the sense of depression and resignation before had dissipated a lot, and even the deep attachment and nostalgia for someone in his heart gradually disappeared. start to fade...

He looked a little sad.

Even if he was used, even if he was hurt, he had never felt so angry and powerless like now.

If even his memory and will can be "modified" by that person at any time, how can he judge what is his own idea?

He was originally a god born from that person's wish.

Before that person, there is no past.

Now, if you want to leave that person, is there no present and future?

What if one day, that person uses the same method to erase his memory of Hiyori and let him kill Hiyori himself?

Just imagining certain possibilities a little bit, Yato felt shuddering.

Bawei can guess what Yato is thinking by looking at his expression.

"Don't think so much, he won't be able to control your thoughts."

Said the demon fox.

The reason why this kind of spell, especially the spell against the gods, can be successfully cast is that the person has Yato's real name, and the spell is cast using the real name, and secondly, the other party has not done anything that will touch Yato. A huge change in self-protection awareness.

What he did, compared to the "modification" that Yato had imagined, was actually more similar to some kind of guidance, leading to amplify the feelings for him in Yato's heart and reduce those cognitions that were not good for him.

Therefore, Yato automatically "forgot" the enlightenment of King Yan Mo and his enlightenment after that, and automatically magnified his nostalgia for the past when he was a child, and his attachment to him...

All of this is pulling Yato away from the idea of ​​"even if I can't do it, that person should be killed, and the soul should go to hell to be judged", let him slowly approach the "that person wants him to approach" I can't let him die, I want to protect him" direction.

And when Bawei reminded Yato of this change, the hint was broken.

Although the spell will still exert its effect, it will still amplify some of Yato's emotions and reduce his other emotions, but since Yato has clearly recognized the existence of the spell, even if the spell is "invisible" Unknowable" becomes "visible and knowable".

As a result, the role it can play becomes very limited.

Even relying on the real name is the same.

Yato took a few deep breaths, and finally regained his composure.

"Thank you, Bawei." He thanked Yaohu earnestly, "I really owe you this time."

"What do you mean you really owe me once this time?" Yaohu pretended to be dissatisfied, "Doesn't the previous debts count?"

Yato laughed twice, clumsily trying to change the subject:

"By the way, what happened to the Enlightenment of King Yan Mo that I forgot? And what did you say about my 'epiphany'?"

Yato is really curious, after all, it can shake him, and he thinks that his father's death is not a bad epiphany...

"I don't know, try to think about it yourself." Ba Wei said impatiently, "The spell is slowly failing, and the memory will always come back by itself. Don't waste my time with this kind of thing."

Speaking of this, Yaohu thought of his purpose of coming to find someone, and the answer that was answered by Yato after being obviously induced by someone just now.

So he endured his temper and asked again:

"Your answer just now was obviously affected by a spell, so let me ask again—"

Saying that, Yaohu put away his original expression of joking with his friends, and became serious again:

"Yato, what's your answer now? Are you still not going to attack that guy?"

Yato: ...

He smiled bitterly: "You know how many times you ask me and my answer is the same."

Even without the effect of the spell, he would not kill that person with his own hands.

It's just that he originally wouldn't allow someone to kill that person in front of him, but now he...

Yato lowered his eyes silently.

He understood what Bawei really wanted to ask.

"Go ahead."

Before Bawei spoke again, Yato said with a sigh.

"What do you... want me to do?"

at the same time.

somewhere unknown.

A girl wearing a sky crown and a white kimono leaned intimately behind a man with an innocent expression on her face.

"Father~~" the girl called coquettishly to the man below her who seemed to be about the same age as her, "Is it true? Will Yato come back to us soon?"

"Ah." The man seemed to be making something in his hands, and he was distracted to respond to the girl's voice, which sounded extremely gentle, "It will be soon..."

"Really." The girl squinted her eyes happily when she heard the words, "I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Yes." The man said with a smile.

He repeated the girl's words with a smile:

"I'm really looking forward to it."

——However, there is clearly no smile in those eyes hidden in the dark...
