Flame red

"I always feel that I should be more suitable for a more beautiful scenery." Yan Hong said to Jian Xiangli on the way to the Silent Hill. "For example, the maple forest in late autumn, or the sunset at dusk."

Jian Xiangli smiled. "I guess so."

It's a pity that there are no maple trees on Silent Hill, and at this time the sky is also at dawn, and the indifferent morning light falls in the woods, unable to wake up the white mist covering the road and vegetation, and the surrounding area is still a distant gray-brown. There is no festive bright red to be found.

Yan Hong thought, she doesn't need any bright colors, she just needs to see some scenery that matches her name on this day.Such as the sunset, such as the maple forest, such as the wreckage of firecrackers spread like falling flowers in front of the houses in the small town.

But in the end, there will always be only such a gray area to greet her, just like her life, so gray that any color falling on it will be dazzling and eye-catching.

What color is Mu Yu?

Yan Hong thought casually, because that person always likes to wear black clothes, so let's just call it black?And this kind of black falling in his gray and white life seems to have brought stains.

But what Mu Yu brought was never a stain.In this bit of blackness, what Yan Hong sees are the endless stars at night, which are better than the lights of thousands of houses in the city.

The last time I came to Silent Hill, because I was hijacked by monsters, Yanhong didn't take a closer look at this deserted village with the same name as the tourist town outside.But as Jian Xiangli said, there is nothing worth nostalgic about here.People go to hollow out, and now there is a name that no one cares about and a few memories that are still in the hearts of others.

The Mu family's ancestral hall is still spotless, as if someone who is isolated from the world often comes here to worship.

Jian Xiangli told Yanhong that the celestial eyes of the Mu family were passed down from generation to generation, but not everyone who opened the celestial eyes can become a psychic or an exorcist. Many children who can see other things, from birth, Even when he dies, he is just an ordinary person.Yanhong is probably such an example.

——"No, you are not an ordinary person." Later, Jian Xiangli shook his head and sighed.

"Then, Mu Yu is probably such an example?"

"There is still a future for Mu Yu to become an exorcist. At least if there is such a possibility, she won't be a half-baked like Master Lu."

"Forget it, she can't see it now, so there's no need to think about it."

"Too."

Mu Xiangzhi still has some relationship with the Jian family, this relationship is not a blood relationship, according to Jian Xiangli, the previous owner of that Lilong was his sister.

He said this casually, but Yan Hong looked him up and down suspiciously. "You have another sister?"

"A cousin who is similar to Ayao?"

"Oh."

"Without the inner alchemy, the snake demon will definitely not stay by Mu Yu's side for a long time. It should follow you here at this time." Jian Xiangli changed the subject and said again. "But now that the inner alchemy is in your body, she has no choice but to beat you half to death and take you back."

Yan Hong swallowed, subconsciously touched the glass-like scar on her waist. "I think she should do the same."

Jian Xiangli nodded. "That's right, so we're going to trap her while she's doing this."

After speaking, they walked into the ancestral hall of Mu's family. The inside had been cleaned up, and the array of spiritual plaques were gone, as if the people who managed this place had already known what was about to happen, and the ancestors who were enshrined were all gone. Withdrew to another place.

Yanhong looked around, and found that every corner, doorway and window were neatly pasted with yellow charms, the sheer number made her feel a little shivering down the spine.

Jian Xiangli handed her a white charm. "You should still remember how to use it?"

"En." When Yan Hong took it, her fingertips touched the other's palm, and found that her own body temperature was terribly cold.

The exorcist also seemed to be aware of her emotions. After thinking for a while, he said, "I also think that at this time, you can't see the sunset and maple leaves, so it's not suitable for you."

Yanhong knew that he was comforting herself, so she smiled, but there was obviously no smile in her eyes. "It's okay, now that I think about it, Huohai is also very good."

"Ah."

It was windy outside, and the wind chimes on the eaves were jingling.Jian Xiangli listened for a while, said she was here, then turned and walked out of the ancestral hall.

Yan Hong watched his back walking away from the open door, then turned around the street corner and disappeared from sight, and suddenly remembered that she had seen such a sentence somewhere, meeting between people, meeting each other Just less.

Before the snake lady died, she didn't have much feeling for this sentence, but after she really found out that the old man would no longer appear by her side, she gradually realized that there is really a parting that comes as soon as it is said.

When she sighed, she remembered that in the narrow rented room, the snake woman was sitting cross-legged in the morning light; then she thought of that day when Yang Bai casually said in front of him with his schoolbag on that day that he would go to America next semester.

Watching others leave little by little, and now, Yanhong learns to leave by herself.

She stood in the center of the ancestral hall, looking out of the open gate, the New Year's sun had gradually set in the ruins of Silent Hill, a tall figure was walking towards the ancestral hall under the cold and brilliant sky.

His facial features are distinct, his face is cold, and his black hair hangs down on his shoulders, which seems to be covered with a layer of pear-white frost because of the too dazzling morning light.

Is a very beautiful person.

No matter how many times she watched it, Yan Hong would involuntarily send out this sigh in her heart.

And this beautiful person, who dyed her life black with starlight, was walking towards this side step by step, with an indifferent expression, as if nothing to do with her when they first met.

And the eyes are like the moon wrapped in honey, showing a golden color without impurities.

She subconsciously wanted to call out that name, but Yan Hong knew very well that the man was in her own room at this time, being guarded by her parents so that she would not step out of the yard.

So the name that was about to blurt out was changed to another name.

"Snake demon."

The other party walked into the ancestral hall, and the door closed bit by bit, but the man didn't respond.

"Ah."

It was still Yanhong's familiar voice, the very pleasant voice for singing.It's just that the theme song of the first season may not be so professional, but there is nothing wrong with it. Mu Yu's singing skills are improving by leaps and bounds with the development of the TV series.

The snake demon looked down at her hands, and then said softly to Yan Hong: "I can't last long like this. So I can only take advantage of the time, Yan Hong, come on." She opened her arms, took a step Walking towards Yanhong step by step.

And Yan Hong didn't run away either, letting the snake demon embrace her, her height, strength, and even breath were exactly the same as when Mu Yu hugged her.

But the snake demon is not Mu Yu, just like the black shadow is not a snake woman.Without any ups and downs or doubts in Yan Hong's heart, she stretched out her hand and hugged the person in front of her like in the past.

— how warm it is.

She heard the snake demon sigh softly.

It is indeed very warm, not referring to the temperature transmitted when the body is close to each other, but the heat in the heart is clearer than in many times when you stretch out your hands to hug each other tightly.

"Of course." Yan Hong replied.

The snake demon said: "The Jian family's spell is not the strongest among the exorcists, but it is enough to trap me here. The premise is that I am still an empty shell without inner alchemy."

"So you want to take Neidan away from me?" Yan Hong asked with a smile.

"No, the inner alchemy should have been held by you." The snake demon shook his head. "What I want to take away is you and Neidan."

Yan Hong tilted her head innocently, and heard the snake demon's body begin to rustle and stir. "Are you going to kill me?"

"How can I be willing?" The other party smiled, but this smile was colder and sharper than the blade. "It's just that once the gate of this ancestral hall is closed, I don't seem to have any other way to leave except to kill you."

As she said this, Yan Hong felt her waist being lifted up, and then, she was hit against the wall of the ancestral hall with a bang. Tight, there is no room to relax after churning into a ball, Yan Hong clenched her teeth so as not to spit out the contents of her stomach.

The rustling sound in her ear became more and more clear, she turned her head and saw that cold and beautiful side face, and less obvious scales began to appear.Yan Hong lowered her head and looked at her hand, it seemed like falling off ashes, it began to turn into smoke little by little, and it dissipated a little with a wave.

"I won't let you leave." Yanhong said.

"Then do you know why I hold you?"

"I know, because when you held me, you started killing me."

But even so, Yan Hong still didn't push the snake demon away, but hugged the snake demon tightly when she kept bumping herself against the wall, the rustling sound in her ears was like a snake walking through the grass, Neat and without pause.

She watched her hands begin to shed transparent scales due to the dissipation of the smoke, and similarly, the body of the snake demon also began to shed scales. As the two of them collided back and forth in the ancestral hall, countless fireflies seemed to dance in the air. The fire flickered a few times before extinguishing in the darkness.

Although hugging Yanhong in an ambiguous posture, the snake demon mercilessly rushed her, and finally threw her to the floor fiercely. Yanhong heard a thud on the back of her head for a few seconds, and then the scene in front of her was all gone. He stopped exercising, and when he came back to his senses, he had been thrown against the wall again.

After all, the snake demon is not a human being, even if it rolls like this, it doesn't take half a breath.But Yan Hong is not a god after all, after tossing around like this, she felt her throat was hot and something was knocked out.

She frowned, gritted her teeth and swallowed the thing without opening her mouth.Then when the snake demon lifted himself up again, he turned over and pressed the snake demon to the floor with a sudden force.

The pretty face in front of him seemed a little surprised, but then became indifferent again.

The snake demon thought that Yan Hong was going to be like him, and recklessly pushed her to hit the floor and the wall.But Yan Hong unexpectedly took out a white talisman in her palm, and suddenly a pale flame flashed in the darkness.

The snake demon's golden eyes stared at the flame in shock.Yan Hong didn't know why she showed such a shocked expression, but even though the people in front of her were expressionless, she knew that this spell was absolutely different from those yellow spells that Jian Xiangli gave her before.

"Are you looking for death?" The snake demon frowned, turned over and pushed Yan Hong against the wall. The beautiful face that belonged to Mu Yu or her unique face disintegrated into a pitch-black mist. The golden pupils gleamed with anger.

Yanhong finally opened her mouth to laugh, and then hugged her shoulders tightly. The spells around her exploded with a bang, covering the entire ancestral hall in an orange-red color, like maple leaves falling in late autumn, or sunset glow Thousands of miles of sea of ​​fire.

The snake demon roared and wanted to break free, but this powerful life that was always omnipotent, the exorcist, and the monsters gave way three points, was unable to struggle in Yan Hong's arms. The more she struggled, the more Yan Hong became She will tighten her arms, like the chain that restrains the li dragon, and now she has become a cage that restrains the snake demon.

"Yan Hong! If I can't leave, you won't be able to get out of this sea of ​​flames either." The snake demon's voice became rough at first, and then became sharp again, which was not the tone a human should have.

"I won't leave." Yan Hong said.The flames devoured the remaining winter air, spreading upwards from the hem of her clothes.But she didn't seem to feel it. "We were meant to be together."

The snake demon struggled, and finally turned into a flaming, red ball of fire.The flames eroded Yanhong's clothes, revealing the terrifying scar on her back.

Yanhong said, I am you.

When she said this, she didn't know whether it was because of the fire or other factors, her eyes were like a snake monster, bright yellow without any impurities.

The fire of the ancestral hall kept going up in the morning light, going very high, higher than the roof and the trees.Jian Xiangli stood at the entrance of Silent Hill, watching the flames and thick smoke, swaying like a snake struggling in a well.

Yanhong told him before that she hoped that when she died, she could be in a scenery that fit the name, such as Fenglin, or in the sunset.

"Actually, I think Huohai is quite suitable." Jian Xiangli said to himself.It seems that where he came from, he should go where he came from. When he first heard the name Yan Hong, what appeared in his mind was such a flame that could burn the sky, and it didn't know when to stop and waited to stop.
