deep clouds and thick fog

In some dark rooms, thick curtains cover the windows tightly.The silver-haired young man was lying on the bed, playing with the indigo pacifier one after another.For the convenience of the next thing, Mamon transformed into an adult figure, with a wide cloak, a delicate chin, and soft hair slipping from the hood, which was a very familiar look to Rin.

Really, I miss it very much.

Rin stared at the other party, the overly serious gaze made Mamun a little unnatural, and he reached out to cover Rin's eyes.And Rin raised her lips, and her eyelashes flicked across Mamon's palm.

Some itchy feeling.

"Have you figured it out?" Mamon felt a little relieved that he couldn't feel Rin's gaze.But thinking of the words of this person before, his heart began to heavy again, he asked softly, hoping to get a negative answer.

However, the other party was very sure and never wavered.

"of course."

This is something he has thought about for a long time, why should he hesitate at a critical moment?

Mamon sighed, and poked his cheek with his fingers in retaliation, "It will hurt, right?"

I have never experienced such a thing, but just listening to it feels painful. Can this guy who is afraid of pain really bear it?

Rin heard what he meant, and a gentle expression appeared, he held Mamon's hand that poked him, and tightened it a little bit.

"Yes...but it's okay."

He said slowly, holding the pacifier with the other hand, and the pacifier gradually glowed according to his will, while Mamon watched his own one turn into a light bulb, stretched out his hand to hold it tightly, and sighed silently.

"That's what you said, idiot, don't cry to me if it hurts=-="

"I know."

"Then... let's begin."

The strange-colored eyes were closed tightly, and the deep purple flames were burning in the depths. As the light from the pacifier deepened, the deep purple brilliance gradually emerged. The fluctuations of violent power circled and rose in the room, and finally opened...

That strange door.

"The door of truth..."

he muttered to himself.In a place he couldn't see, a golden-eyed god stared at the silver-haired young man who was gradually falling into a wonderful world with a smile, and tapped his lips.

【What an incomparable boldness... Rin. 】

It's not enough to go deep into the door of truth twice, so aren't you afraid of being accidentally eaten by the door of truth?

Well, anyway, as long as he... just keep watching.

The door of truth, the door of saints, those who pass through, get rid of greed, selfishness and all kinds of human inferiority, will gain the power that human beings cannot get, and will be... [God].

Rin doesn't know if he has become the so-called god, if so, he really wants to laugh at the mass production of the god.And even if he went in and out twice like him, what he got was only some knowledge.

But maybe, he can actually become a god, but he hasn't touched the key yet.But it doesn't matter, after all, his goal is just that knowledge.

knowledge...

The silver-haired young man walked freely in the dark world, surrounded by deep purple flames, and an indigo rope was tied around his waist, one end was connected to him, and the other end was connected to his lover in the real world. Necessary for his return.

The surrounding area was empty, and Rin was a little lost, but he didn't care. He closed his eyes after thinking for a while, and following the strong call in his heart, the door finally appeared.

The truth of the world, the rules of the world... Rin took a deep breath, no matter how confident he was, he had to take this door seriously.

After all, he promised Viper to go back completely.

Rin stood still in front of the gate, stretched out his hand, and pushed open the door that represented the world's top secret.The little black hands wrapped around his limbs with a smile, but they retracted after being burned by the flames.

Rin clicked his tongue and strode into the door, and the moment he was engulfed in darkness, the door slammed shut.

But the indigo rope, in the pale and empty world, exudes flickering light from beginning to end, but it has never been broken.

******

Time passed by bit by bit.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

The sound of the clock disturbed Mamon's mind.

How long has passed? 10 minutes?One hour?or longer?

He looked at Rin, who seemed to be asleep, and the pacifier was constantly shining, which made him feel at ease—after all, Rin once said that the light of the pacifier is connected with his own safety, as long as the light of the pacifier does not go out, then he Will definitely be back.

Will definitely come back...

Not long after Rin entered the Gate of Truth, Moira came to visit.Seeing Rin sleeping soundly, he didn't show any strangeness, he probably knew it long ago.She narrated the cloud battle last night to Mamon. The twists and turns made Mamon frowned, a little clear and a little sad.

So this is ah.

He finally understood why XANXUS agreed to that boring battle, and finally understood what XANXUS' contradictory actions were for.

Kudai prefers Sawada Tsunayoshi, XANXUS didn't know why and gave up the fight, but maybe he was dissatisfied, and he made an agreement with Kudai, and they jointly played a battle scene to hone the weak Judai, Similarly, for the ninth generation, XANXUS is installed in Mosca.

It's just that what he still can't figure out is, why did XANXUS give up the fight for the position of the tenth generation?

Mamun, who didn't know that XANXUS didn't have nine generations of blood, fell into deep thought.

Speaking of the big air battle tonight, no matter what, he must be there.

But this guy Rin...

He glanced at the hand that was tightly held by someone, and sighed again.

When it was almost evening, the light of the pacifier began to fluctuate strongly.

This made Mamon nervous, for fear that it would suddenly go out, but fortunately, after a few minutes of this kind of flickering, it finally stabilized.

Then... it suddenly disappeared.

Extinct, extinct? !

Ma Meng was as stiff as a stone statue, but his hands tightened, and with the slight sound of clothes rubbing against each other, the young man who was about to frighten him to death got up from the bed and rubbed his head tiredly.

"Almost..." He sighed, noticing Mamon's stiffness, he pressed his shoulder in confusion, "Viper?"

"You scared me to death, idiot! Why didn't you tell me that the pacifier would go out when you came back! I..."

Mamon pushed Rinfan to the ground with great vigor, and asked aggressively, a series of crackling words.Rin laughed a little, but still obediently listened to his reprimand, time seemed to turn back, he was still the young Yunshou, and the other party was still the immature warlock.

"...Viper, I'm hungry."

Rin was really hungry. He entered the Gate of Truth last night and didn't come out until this evening. In the middle, he was almost entangled by the hands of the Gate of Truth and couldn't get out.Mamon snorted, and was about to get up to call for food, but was pushed back by Rin.

... This feeling of spinning around is so familiar.

"...Idiot, what are you doing?"

The body temperature passed along the place where the two touched, and the smile of the silver-haired young man was indescribably warm.Mamon flinched, but how could he retreat with the bed behind him?Only by looking at that stern face approaching, the sound of breathing can be heard...

"Idiot, idiot, is it easy to say?"

Rin narrowed his eyes, dangerous and ambiguous.Mamon laughed awkwardly, it's over, I forgot that this guy loves to hold grudges...

"Cough, this, uh..."

"Hey, I'm hungry."

The words that wanted to coax were drowned between the lips.

*******

That night, the battle of the sky.

After learning about Yun Zhan from Moira, Rin has sorted everything out.As a result, the interest in the Ring War plummeted, and the messy entanglement with Vengley was even more sneering and murderous.

"Hmph, since XANXUS doesn't want the position of the tenth generation, then don't worry about Moira. Go check Cerbero when you have time."

Not knowing that Vongola needed blood verification, Rin directly forgot XANXUS in a corner, but instead became interested in the existence of Cerbero.

But the key at the moment is the damn contract.

The cold light flickered in the pupils of different colors, and the salvage of the door of truth finally brought something useful to Rin.He sat down, and began to explore the power of the contract that did not belong to him little by little.

block, remove...

The outer layer is easy to handle, but in the end, it seems to touch the important core—Nufufufu’s laughter, who else in this world is there besides that mushroom?

A man with double lightning bolts and blue mushroom heads emerged, and he was slashed horizontally by Rin without any damage. Knowing that this was just an illusion, Rin calmed down and looked at the message D Spedo left for him.

"Nufufufu~~ Rin, you are really disobedient~ It's just a small contract, and you want to deprive it? Humph~ That's all, but to tell you the truth, unless you find the key thing, you are absolutely, absolutely, nothing Find a way to get this last thing~"

After speaking, the phantom dissipated.And Rin silently pondered the message revealed in the words until Moira's voice came.

"My lord... is the ring."

Through the myriad fog, pointing directly at "truth", Moira's pupils were stained black, knowing that the little girl had used too much strength, Rin rubbed her head, feeling helpless.

"Moira, get some rest."

"……Um."

As for the ring, then it can only be the Pengo Lie ring. Thinking about it, Spedo's intentions can be imagined.If Rin wants to terminate the contract, he must use the fog attribute ring at a certain point, but in the ring there is Spedo who was sealed by Dai Yela...

Is it expected that Ding Rin's desire to terminate the contract is stronger than anything else?Anyway, this guy...

Won.

Stepping on the window and jumping out, the target is Bingsheng Middle School. Rin doesn't care what will happen to Vengley after he seizes the fog attribute ring and whether Spedo will be released. He has never been afraid of Vengley. As for Donggutou...

Come out, stew just right.

When Rin arrived at Bingzhong, the battle of Daikong was coming to an end.

The silver-haired young man had a strong figure and happened to land near Li Baoen.The little baby in the black suit immediately sensed something was wrong, pointing the gun straight at it, with a stern expression on his face.

"What are you doing."

"none of your business."

This accident shocked everyone outside the arena, and even Colonello couldn't figure out why Li Baoen acted like this.But seeing that person stepping half of his foot outside the infrared sensor laser without any damage, he was immediately horrified.

"Please don't interfere."

Cerbero came to try to persuade him, but was knocked down by Rin with the back of his knife.Dodging a bullet with his head sideways, he looked at Li Baoen, his tone was slow, but his murderous aura was gathering little by little.

"Are you going to hinder me?"

"No, you intend to interfere with this battle."

The little baby's tone was sharp, and he suddenly put down the gun with an extremely serious expression.

"Whatever you want, you can after it's over, but for now, let the Battle of the Sky end smoothly."

The people next to him were a little surprised by Li Baoen's overly friendly tone, but only Li Baoen knew what he was doing for, because he had fought this young man before, so he understood what kind of ability he had. The same bastard personality... can only be induced.

"Would Vengley's ring with the fog attribute also work?"

"..." Li Baoen was silent, but when the young man showed a frivolous smile, he pressed the brim of his hat, "You are of the cloud attribute, what do you want that for? Viper?"

"Of course I have my uses." Rin was no longer able to bear such long-winded words, "In a word, give or not."

"Yes, but you have to promise that you will return it."

"return?"

"I don't think you need two fog rings either."

"Hmph, you are really observant. Yes, I will return it when it is used up."

So at this point, the deal is done.

The silver-haired young man withdrew his stepped foot, folded his hands, and stood in the corner calmly, staring at the screen silently.

The little baby in the cloak has just been detoxified.

******

The Battle of Daiku, without any surprise, ended with Tsunayoshi Sawada's victory.

But what was decided in this battle was not only whether or not Tsunayoshi Sawada was qualified as Judai, but more about the anger of the Balian leader.

Rin has already received the fog-attributed ring, and he still remembers the hesitation of Sawada Tsunayoshi and others at that time and the expressions they had to hand in because they were convinced by Li Baoen.After getting the item in his hands, he didn't get anxious. Rin played with the ring, but what he remembered was the last scene.

The ring snatched by Mamon and Bell, Dakong's ring was taken by XANXUS, but was rejected because of blood.

It was an impressive scene that he had seen before.

The grand brilliance, Jin Yan, brought a resolute rejection. The talented man fell to the ground, and then he told the so-called truth.

Not the son of nine generations.

So... can't inherit the position of ten generations.

The white lie of that old man created this man's eternal pride and pain.

[I am a child of the ninth generation. 】

The prouder you are, the happier you are. After the illusion is shattered, the truth is so heartbreaking.

Is that mercy?Is it sympathy?Or alms?

He is the son of nine generations, a man born as ten generations!

The flames of anger created this man's throne, but also pushed him into unbearable anxiety.

Anger and pain, deep love and hatred, is it the old man or himself that XANXUS hates?

Unable to inherit the position of ten generations, the self without blood.

……

"Nufufufu~ Mind-wandering is not a good habit~"

With a rippling tone, the man with the mushroom head appeared like a ghost floating with a faint light.And Rin pulled away from his own thoughts, raised his eyebrows, and displayed the long knife in his hand.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mushroom Head."

The purpose of sending Mameng away is to clean you up thoroughly.

But this time, Rin miscalculated.

The purple cloak drew a cold arc, and the night wind blew the short dark purple hair. The warlock, who had transformed into an adult, stood expressionlessly in front of Rin.

"This is the guy who made you lose your body?"

It is almost certain that the hallucinatory power in Donggutou's body would surprise even a well-informed Mamun.Spedo smiled, and took a step forward calmly—but suddenly appeared beside Rin.

"Hmph, he didn't lose his body because of me~" Dodging the sharp light of the knife, Spedo emerged with scythes in his hands, "As Rin's lover, but he doesn't know anything, really... It's sad~"

Rin's expression turned cold, and his movements quickened, even with the flames of burning clouds: "You talk too much nonsense, Donggutou."

"Nufufufu~ Rin is too merciful~ I'm obviously ready to leave, right? Those who can't keep up have to give up. As the strongest, you just need to go forward. Others, you are hesitating what?"

"My business, you don't need to talk too much." Anger made Huo Yan more fierce, and even inspired a hidden ability.Spedo looked at the burning corner of the clothes, and the sickle cut across, throwing away the piece of fabric.

"Oh, oh, it seems that I am really angry~ Sa, then we will only see you next time~"

A certain bastard ghost disappeared after finishing speaking, and Rin silently retracted the knife, looking at the stern-faced Mamun and sighing.

"what happened?"

"What's wrong with your body?"

Warlock said in a blunt tone, obviously irritated by some words of Shigu.Rin understood that it seemed that he could not say anything, and held Mamon's hand, which was soft and only a thin layer of callus, very comfortable.

"Go back and talk."

"Hmph, finally don't plan to hide it?"

"..."

"I want to know everything, everything—no secrets."

"..."

"Hey!"

"I see... well, stop making trouble."

"Who made trouble, you bastard!"

"This time Balian is making such a big fuss, you will have a lot of things, do you need help?"

"Of course, Balian will probably be very embarrassed this time... If Novella supports him, it should be better."

"Yeah. Go back and talk to Moira."

"and also……"

The two walked farther and farther, and the topic of conversation also ran farther and farther.

...Hey, you are digressing, you bastards!Is it easy for the author to arrange a quarrel!

The illusory blue-haired man folded his arms and looked at the two people who were going away, laughing with great interest.

"Hmph~ It's really interesting."

Whether it's a youkai who insists on moving forward, or a warlock who is easily shaken and tired of waiting...

Curious how far you can go.
