[Complete] Sibyl the Immortal

When he was first sent there, Xi Yang would still cry.

At that time, she couldn't separate other people's lives from her own, so she was often hurt.Scalds, cuts, frostbites, burns, bruises, lacerations, internal bleeding... Those lives that she was in tune with were recurring on her body without exception.At first she cried every day, calling blankly for her mother, whom she couldn't remember her name or appearance, reaching out her hands in vain but couldn't catch anything.

But even if she cried until she couldn't make a sound, the unmanned barrier would not give her any response.

Then she gradually stopped crying.

Afterwards she barely responded to pain.

She forgot how to cry before she remembered how to laugh.

She thought that if this continued, she would probably lose her voice.

...if you don't see that person again.

Shishu Tatara began to teach Xi Yang how to learn Japanese.

"[Everyone wants to talk to you very much, there are many people who are very curious about you.]"

He is the first person in HMORA to get along with Xiyang.

"Xiaoyang is very talkative, how should I put it, unexpectedly, she is a person who will not reject others."

He taught Xiyang to write his name hand in hand.Ten bundles of Duodara.I put labels on most of the objects in the bar to teach her to learn their Japanese, such as (wine glass), such as (bar counter), such as (refrigerator), and so on.In fact, Ten Beam, who is actually very death-loving by nature, even made signs for all HOMRA members including Zhou Fangzun, trying to hang them around their necks to teach Xiyang to know people.

Of course, this stupid idea that people can't look at directly was ended by Zhou Fangzun's punch when Shi Bean was about to hang a sign for him.Afterwards, a group of militant factions (not necessarily muscular but mostly simple minded) had a rare brainstorm, and painfully realized that the only way to stop ten bundles of duoliang from listing them was to teach Xiyang to write as soon as possible. own name.

So Barbara suddenly set off an upsurge in teaching Xiyang to write names.

Hatta Misaki taught Xiyang to write Zhou Fangzun's Zun, because he hated his handwriting was too ugly to express Zun's handsome name and rewrote it dozens of times (Xiyang learned it the first time but could only watch him silently) Tossing), wrote so much that he forgot to teach Xiyang to write his own name.

Kushina taught Xiyang to write her own name and learned to write her own name, but she was very troubled by the difficult character "Xi". Kusanagi Izumo walked up behind her and taught her how to write this character.Then he taught Xiyang how to write Kusanagi's "气" by hand.

Toshio Kamamoto taught Xiyang to write his own name, and when he finished writing, he was very affectionate with his companions and taught Xiyang to write Misaki Hatta's name. However, Toshio Kamamoto told Xiyang that they were very close by calling their names directly in Japan. , and expressed the wish that she would call him by his name directly, causing the girl to not only call him Lifu but also Hatta "Misaki".So Hatta-kun, who hated people calling him that pussy name the most in his life (because he couldn't get angry with girls because of his virginity), could only drag Kamamoto out angrily to discuss.

Akagi Shohei taught Xiyang to write the names of himself and Bando Saburota, and called Bando "Xiaoshan" affectionately, so even though she learned to write ばんどさぶろた (Bando Saburota's hiragana name), she also called "" hill".Bando Saburo was so angry ("Don't call me Xiaoshan!"), but when he saw Xiyang's helpless eyes ("...Is it wrong?"), he gritted his teeth and pinched his nose to recognize it ("Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan!" Just the hill!").

Chitose Yang, Ideba Masaki, Fujishima Kosuke...the names of the Barbara members were written one by one on the notebook that Shishu bought for Xiyang.Holding the book in her arms, she unconsciously stroked the large blooming flowers on the cover, hydrangea and iris, jasmine scattered among them, interlaced pure white, water color, dark blue, purple... The soft tones make people feel warm.

It was something that Shi Bunch wanted to give to Xiyang.

--hope.

... When Zhou Fangzun woke up the next day, Xiyang could already write the names of everyone in the Barbara.Except him.

He also didn't teach Xiyang to write his own name.

Fighting against the violent power in his body for several days has greatly consumed his physical strength and patience.The power that couldn't wait to release it to destroy everything kept tempting him to release it and destroy everything.It is difficult to suppress this restlessness, but Zhou Fangzun has to do it - if he does not want to make the endless nightmare come true.

He threw himself onto the sofa tiredly, his brows were habitually wrinkled, and his eyes were staring blankly at the ceiling.

The sofa beside him sank slightly.

Zhou Fangzun looked over impatiently, the girl sat down next to him like a cat without making a sound, quietly opened the book in his hand, and handed it to him.

"……name."

Zhou Fangzun looked into her bright red eyes, scratched his hair in disgust, and pushed the notebook away.

"Your ability has something to do with your name, right?"

After knowing that this child is a prophecy-like ability user, Zhou Fangzun wanted to understand many things.On the night when she first came to HOMRA, the reason why she was injured and died suddenly was because Toku told her her own name.

Did you see the future of Shishu from this name?Still feel something else from the name.

In any case... Although I don't know what kind of ability it is, but knowing someone's name, she may die, there is no doubt about it.

and so……

"I can't give you my name."

Zhou Fangzun's life is definitely not something that a little girl can read.Those violent forces, raging desire to destroy, and the pain of fighting against them are not something a little girl should bear.

Of course, Chi Wang didn't think about the meaning of the two sentences he read together.

Even if he understood it, he wouldn't care about it.

The girl stared at him for a while with bright red eyes, then nodded slightly.She turned around holding the notebook, quietly looking at the blue sky outside the window in a daze.The winter sky is transparent blue, as pure blue as washed by water.She focused on the clear sky, her eyes brightened slightly.

Contrary to Zhou Fangzun's anxious and depressed aura, this quiet girl exudes a calm and peaceful atmosphere.It was a kind of calm that could not be broken no matter what happened, calm and calm, like a frozen lake.Like fire cooled by ice, the violent aura around Zhou Fangzun also gradually calmed down.

"It's okay." The girl looking out the window suddenly said a word without thinking, "Everything will be fine."

Zhou Fangzun closed his eyes, leaned tiredly on the sofa, and a mocking smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Is this the future seen by the prophet?"

"Ah."

The girl looked at the sky with blank eyes, and her voice gradually became ethereal.

"The future Xiyang sees is absolute."

"Heh... What an arrogant speech."

"Because Xiyang is 'Xiyang'."

The girl's eyes became more and more empty.She silently hugged the notebook in her arms, and whispered something in a voice that only she could hear.

"[Because what Xi Yang sees is the future doomed by fate.]"

What she got was not the privilege to figure out the trajectory of fate.

But... overreach.

Xiyang already knew that he was actually at the end of the future.Looking at the [record] that hasn't happened yet.

What she saw was never a possibility, but an absolute [record].

however.

She turned her head and looked at the man who had fallen asleep again.

Someone, with tyrannical absolute power, rewrote [Record].

Xiyang stretched out his hand to gently touch his eyes.

"[It's okay.]" She told herself silently, "[It's okay.]"

“[What he shakes is [premonition]. The future [forecast] is still following the proper trajectory.]”

So, it's all right.

The future is already doomed.

***

Zhou Fangzun sank into that nightmare again.

The town was brutally destroyed.He stood alone on the charred ruins.The crimson flames were burning, and the sword of Damocles hung high above his head, and the broken sword had plasma streaking across it from time to time.The ruined city is now empty.

...This is the town of Zhenki that was completely destroyed by his power.There is no living thing but him.

If he can't resist that temptation and unleash the berserk power of the Scarlet King, this nightmare will become a reality.

Zhou Fangzun lowered his head, watching the crimson flames start from his hands, eroding his body.

I want to vent this violent power, I want to destroy without thinking about anything, I want to break free from all the shackles that bind me...

However, the result of release will be this wilderness.

Therefore, he has been suppressing this impulse all along.Constantly weakening one's feelings and motivation, suppressing the power of rage.

Suddenly, Zhou Fangzun raised his head unexpectedly. In the dream of the scorched wilderness, there was a snowflake falling from the sky.

Pure white snow fell from the sky one after another, the gray clouds flowed and covered the blue, the wind was blowing in the field, the never-ending heavy snow covered everything in sight, and the sky and the earth were gray and white.Zhou Fangzun felt that the ground under his feet was also changing, the scorched land was replaced by icy permafrost, and the chill almost soaked into his bones.

——Someone's dream has invaded his dream world.

No, not right.

Zhou Fangzun looked around, on the boundless ice field, all he could see was gray and white, the cold wind mixed with ice and snow hit his face, it was so real that it was almost unreal cold.He stretched out his hand, and the hands that had been burned just now had returned to their original shape.

Rather than saying it is a dream, it is better to say it is a landscape in the mind.

Zhou Fangzun looked forward, and walked straight towards the only dark line on the horizon.

***

Dark lakes, old dead trees, crows circling the sky.At the end of the never-ending wind and snow, there is such a scenery.The scene felt desolate, even desolate.

And the little girl who created this world was disturbed by the footsteps of the visitor, Shen Mian, and silently opened her scarlet eyes at the bottom of the dark lake.

The wind was silent for a moment.

She was at the bottom of the water, silently staring at the scarlet king.

Then, the dream broke.

Ice fields, snowstorms, black lakes, dead trees, crows, and bright red eyes all disappeared from Zhou Fangzun's eyes.

The final image is of the girl in the lake hugging herself tightly, closing her eyes and sinking deeper into the dark water bottom.
