[Complete] Sibyl the Immortal

Many, many years ago, during our time, I didn't know that there was a foolish prince who knelt in front of the altar and asked the holy image with tears in his eyes:

Why would they let the kids know those things?

In fact, my dear Puzai, they told me those things very early on.

——José Mauro de Vasconcelos: "My Dear Sweet Orange Tree"

***

On the boundless ice field, the strong wind is still howling.

Above the pitch-black lake water, those crimson flowers stretched out their vines, tightly entangled Xi Yang.The warmth and tenderness that once lit her heart bound her now.

"Is this what you're afraid of? 』

Under the water, a face exactly like Xi Yang's emerged.There was a coquettish smile on that face, and his eyes were secretly delighted.

"It's really not easy to find this point. It's been a long time since I've seen a human being who hides his heart so deeply.You, have you always been scared?Fear of an unchangeable future. 』

The branches and tendrils of the flowers cut deeper into the flesh.The person who looked like Xiyang stretched out his arms from the black water and grabbed her.

"Hey, isn't it painful?Are you desperate?very sad, right?Do you really want to escape from here?You can't bear it anymore, can you?Na na, close your eyes.If it's painful, don't look at it?If you are afraid of that fate, wouldn't it be enough to run away from it? 』

Those crimson flowers withered and withered in her words, and the exorcism raised the corners of her mouth, dragging the girl into the water one by one.

"Okay, go to sleep.I can't see it when I'm asleep.So sleep, and when you wake up, it's all over. 』

...If you fall asleep, you won't be able to see it, right?

Xi Yang closed his eyes, and was quietly dragged into the bottom of the lake, into the pitch-black, pitch-black depths.

Ah, this is probably the best ending.

The puppet, unable to defy fate, escapes to eternal sleep.

... Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations.

"You bastard is our primary school student?! Primary school students will not believe this kind of nonsense!!!" Hatta Misaki pulled Gui Mu Guima by the collar and lifted him up, "What are you talking about exorcising souls, gaps! Who would Believe your nonsense?! Xiyang suddenly disappeared because of this nonsense reason?! Do you think we are fools?! Hurry up and hand over that child!!!"

"He didn't lie." Anna Kushina put down the glass beads, "Yang indeed disappeared in front of him, and the exorcism is not a lie."

"Speaking of...Xiaoyang is really depressed recently..." Shi Shu smiled wryly, "Has she been in pain, so?"

Hatta Misaki gave a harsh "cut" and pushed Guimu Guima to the ground, and took the bat to his forehead.

"It's really... so annoying, that guy, what are you thinking about all day long?! Hey-top student, you seem to know everything, so you tell us where the kid is now!! !"

"I do not know."

Guimu Guima was in a cold sweat, but he still kept his composure on his face.

"There has never been such a precedent, and I don't know why she suddenly disappeared—"

"Who are you lying to?!"

"Misaki, he didn't lie."

"Cut—! Can't you be more useful?!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so useless and can't figure out why she disappeared. But don't you have any clues after spending so long with her?"

"That guy doesn't talk all day long, so the devil knows what's going on in her mind!!!"

"You all don't know me, let alone know, hey!"

Zhou Fangzun smoked silently, his brows furrowed deeply, upon hearing this, he put out the cigarette, stood up and walked upstairs.

Kusanagi Izumo looked over strangely.

"Respect? Where are you going?"

Zhou Fangzun scratched his hair irritably, his voice seemed to come from underground.

"I'm going to bring that guy back."

"Do you know where that kid is?"

"what."

Zhou Fangzun responded as if bored.

For that guy, the only place where he can really feel at ease is there.

***

Above the wasteland, a blizzard is roaring.

When Zhou Fangzun stepped into this dream again, he found that it was different from the last time he entered, the wind was more violent, the snow became violent, and the chill was piercing.

"Is it that painful, you?"

The sound of the wind became more violent.The Red King ignited red flames all over his body, and walked towards the end of the horizon.

"stop. 』

The girl's request came in the wind.

"Please... stop..."

Where the scarlet king passed by, the ice and snow melted in the raging fire, exposing the cracked ground below, and the strong wind was blocked by the heat wave, unable to blow the heavy snow there.Only the girl's entreaties were transmitted intermittently to the man's ears through the wind.

"Stop...stop...stop...! ! ! 』

Zhou Fangzun raised his hand.The fire burned everything with a wave of hands.

"Don't speak in that guy's voice, ghost."

The girl's entreaties came to an abrupt end, and suddenly turned into an indiscriminate roar——

"go to hell! ! ! ! ! 』

Numerous owls widened their blood-red eyes, and swooped down to Zhou Fangzun from above in unison, their sharp beaks gleaming coldly.

Zhou Fangzun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a defiant smile.

With a loud explosion, the sword of Damocles appeared, and the ruby ​​on the hilt flashed a red light.

The violent flame turned into a torrent of fire, which immediately drowned the group of owls. Amidst the ear-piercing wailing of the owl birds, the voice roared madly.

"It's impossible, it's impossible, it's impossible!kill you kill you kill you! ! ! 』

Countless monsters emerged from the horizon, converging into a sea of ​​strange beasts. Pairs of scarlet eyes opened in unison, glaring at Zhou Fangzun fiercely, and the voice came out of the beast's mouth, with surging killing intent.

"Kill you--! ! ! ! ! ! 』

"Ah."

Zhou Fangzun chuckled, and the flames all over his body became more intense.

"interesting."

As if responding to these words, the ruby ​​on the sword of Damocles instantly shone!

***

Xiyang sank deeper in the darkness.

Tender, cold darkness.The sound of water is like a long-lasting melody, which makes people's hearts quiet.

However, there is light, penetrating layers of darkness.

Xi Yang opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the sword of Damocles hanging high above the lake. The ruby ​​on the hilt was dazzling, illuminating this dull dream like a little sun.She stretched out her hand towards the light as if she had been bewildered, but was suddenly grabbed by someone.

"Got you."

He said so.

***

Zhou Fangzun dragged the girl out from the bottom of the lake.Xi Yang looked at him in bewilderment.Seeing the girl's bewildered expression, he sighed helplessly, reached out and stroked her head—not so much touching her head as she turned it around.

"Don't think too much, brat. I don't need a brat to help me carry my life."

Xi Yang opened his eyes wide in a daze.

"Kids have to look like kids."

Zhou Fangzun smiled helplessly.

"Fate, life, these things, just leave it to the adults. The kid doesn't need to think about those things, just play happily. Life is my own, no matter what it becomes, it has nothing to do with others relation."

"So... no matter what kind of fate it is, will you accept it?"

"what."

Zhou Fangzun responded briefly.

Ah, is that so?

A drop of tear slid down her cheek, and the young prophet wiped it in a panic. When he raised his head, his eyes were still red, but he smiled at Zhou Fangzun.

It was a shy, small smile.Quiet and soft.

"Xiyang is really... stupid."

——Why didn't you find out earlier?

——She has no way to watch this person die... this matter.
