[Comprehensive] The world is being reset

The ox cart stopped in front of a Japanese style house.

Yaken Toshiro opened the car curtain and jumped down, glanced around very quickly, then turned around and stretched out his hand with a gentle tone.

"General, please be careful."

Sawada Ya helped him get out of the car, straightened the hem of the kimono casually, blinked his big eyes and looked curiously at the house in front of him.

"This is the residence of the knife maker that the Lord City Lord said." Yao Yan stood behind her, habitually put his fingers on the dagger at his waist, and was wary of the sight from all directions, "General, in fact, you can Waiting in the car."

Sawada Ya shook his head, "Go and have a look."

"Yes."

Seeing that he couldn't go back after being persuaded, Yaken Toshiro no longer insisted.Sawada Ya took two steps forward and reached out to grab the hem of the person who got out of the car first.

"Fushi?"

Fushimi Saruhiko got off the car and looked towards the direction of the north sky, frowning as if he was thinking about something.Pulled back to his senses by the little Lolita, he casually patted her on the head, turned her gaze back from curiously looking in the same direction, and glanced from top to bottom at the peeling vermilion gate of the house.The house looked old, and there was a cricket squatting on the half-broken stone brick.

He stared at the cricket for a moment, then looked away casually, "This is it?"

"Yes."

Yao Yan turned around and gave some advice to the driver, then stepped forward and knocked on the door with his hand raised.

No one answered.

He knocked a few more times, still no response.The black-haired Fu Sangshen said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The hand that was pressing on the door panel was retracted and put on the dagger at his waist.The bright silver blade unsheathed and retracted like lightning, Yaken stretched out his hand again and pushed open the door whose lock was smashed by him with a knife, and then turned slightly sideways.

"general."

The coachman sent by the city lord on the carriage opened his mouth in shock when he saw this operation, and he looked left and right.The black-haired Fu Sangshen looked normal, and the person standing on the other side also looked impatient and didn't think there was anything wrong.

Only the silver-haired loli in the middle sighed a little.She looked at the servants who were finally startled by the movement in front of the door, and ran over in a panic, "Yakuyan, please be more polite next time."

Yaken Toshiro's expression remained unchanged, he lowered his head slightly, "Yes."

The coachman of the city lord's house stayed at the door and watched the young man in blue military uniform at the front take out the door card of the city lord, and then a group of people were invited in tremblingly by the skeptical servants.He shivered silently, and shrank back in fear as well.

This, this kind of style...how should I put it, as expected of that lord...

The driver didn't wait outside the door for too long, probably less than half an hour later, the three distinguished guests of the City Lord's Mansion came out from the door again.

"Tsk, it really doesn't work, does it?"

Fushimi lowered his eyes and sighed softly, but he didn't look too disappointed.He grabbed the scabbard of the long knife at his waist with one hand, and shook his wrist holding the handle.A icy cold light pierced people's eyes first, but after the blade light flashed by, the exposed blade made people gasp.Dense cracks wrapped around the blade, like a spider web that bound it tightly. When it was unsheathed, it was so powerful that no one could guess that the blade was on the verge of breaking.

Fushimi stared at the knife in his hand with half-closed eyelashes, and muttered in a low voice, "I always feel that you are quite unwilling."

The little girl with long silver hair stood beside him, looking up at the knife in his hand, her lavender eyes reflected the shadow of the long knife and the person holding it quietly like a lake.

"Where did you find it, the knife?"

"It's next to Fushimi."

"Why didn't I see it." Fushimi muttered in a low voice, returning the knife to its sheath.

"Go back, we're going around the neighborhood."

The coachman was stunned for a moment before he realized that the words were addressed to himself. He nodded hastily, and after seeing the people walking away, he flicked his whip and turned the cart back to the City Lord's Mansion.

Leaden gray clouds cast an opaque cover over the sky, and the sky seemed so overcast that it would never clear again.

From one end of the long street to the other, the desolation is visible to the naked eye.Wooden blocks with red lacquer and gold and silver foil are piled up on the side of the road as firewood for sale. Buddha statues and Buddhist utensils are broken and ignored. It seems that people in this world have lost even their faith under the weight of natural disasters and man-made disasters. .

Along the way, several people didn't speak anymore.When I was in the City Lord's Mansion, I didn't have such an intuitive feeling. When I really walked on this street, I could feel the despair that shrouded the city like a smog.

I can't see the way ahead, and I don't have a future.

Mira Sawada took Fushimi Saruhiko's hand and walked slowly on the street.Probably because they got off the city lord's carriage, other passers-by carefully avoided it when they saw it from a distance.Even if they didn't notice the previous scene, just looking at their clothes, it was almost clear to passers-by that these people were not in the same world as them.

Although this situation also existed in Heian-kyo, the civilians of that era were not as frightened as they are now.Sawada Ya looked all the way over, not knowing why her heart was a little heavy, her gaze inadvertently swept across a street corner.

The door of a family was pushed open from the inside, and the old wooden door made a "creaking" sound, which attracted her attention.The person who seemed to be the host of the house was standing at the door with an old woman on his back, and the hostess inside the door looked at them sadly.Then silently wiped a tear, said some farewell words.

The old woman beckoned to the woman, and then patted the man on the shoulder as if urging.The host closed his eyes hard, paused for a moment, and then walked out of the city under the urging of the person on his back.

Little Loli blinked suspiciously, and pulled the hand of the person beside her.

"Fu see."

"Ok?"

Fushimi Saru than Gu casually raised his head and glanced in the direction indicated by the little Lolita, his gaze suddenly froze.After a pause of about two or three seconds, he withdrew his gaze and said lightly, "The family must be out of town for business."

Sawada Ya nodded half-understanding, and followed the man all the way.The old woman on his back was thin and small, but the man walked forward slowly and heavily, as if he was carrying a heavy mountain, and his waist was crushed.Walking all the way to the intersection of the street, he could vaguely see the location of the city gate, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and then the whole person seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, squatting on the ground and crying loudly.The old woman on his back fell to the ground, but in turn patted the man's slumped back lightly, as if to comfort him.

The little girl's clear pupils reflect the picture not far away, which is the epitome of the background of the era they live in.Born in troubled times, people are like ants, and life is like a mustard.Order and ethics have all collapsed, and all creatures are left with only the most primitive instincts to live.

She pulled the fingers of the people around her and tightened them unconsciously. Then, she felt a hand reach out and pat her on the head. The wide sleeves hanging down did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional, blocking the view from that side.

Before Ze Tianya recovered, he suddenly heard Fu Sangshen's hesitant voice behind him.

"That's... a persimmon tree?"

Ok?

Ze Tianya felt that the people around her seemed to be slightly relieved by this interruption, and then she was turned to look in the direction Fu Sangshen indicated.At the alley entrance of the street on the right, a lush old tree stands upright. The leaves are oval and veined. It is indeed a persimmon tree.

She looked up and down the tree suspiciously for a while, and the little Lolita, whose attention was distracted, turned her head to look at Fu Sangshen.

It is indeed a persimmon tree, but there is nothing surprising about it?

"General, I mean, there seems to be a persimmon in that persimmon tree."

Huh? ? ?

A cold light shot out from Fushimi's hand, nailed straight into the depths of the branches and leaves.Nearly two people high, the branches of the persimmon tree swayed, and a round orange-yellow persimmon rolled down.

Sawada Ya widened her eyes, "da da da" ran over to pick up the persimmon and held it in her hand.Although the surface of the fruit is a little shriveled because it has not been taken good care of, it is indeed a persimmon that just fell from the branch.

But how can persimmons grow in this season?

Loli Sawada thought of the swaying cherry tree in the courtyard of Sakurahime's family who passed by when she went out today, and looked at each other with the persimmon in her hand, she was a little dazed.

"It seems that this tree is not the only persimmon, but the others have been picked."

Yaken Toshiro came over and looked up, there were indeed traces of people climbing and folding among the sparse branches and leaves.At this time, even wild persimmons growing on roadside trees are rare food.It was snatched up when it was half-baked, and the one in Sawada Ya's hand was too hidden to be discovered so that it survived.

Fushimi: "Tsk, what a mess, the seasons here."

Sawada Ya blinked and didn't speak. She stood on tiptoe and put the persimmon in her hand on a broken rock growing sideways, and then looked left and right.

"how?"

Fushimi took her hand and carried her back, little Lolita obediently returned to his side.

"...I always feel as if someone is watching me."

"general?"

Yao Yan, who followed her, didn't hear her whisper, and looked down suspiciously.Sawada thought for a while, then shook his head.

The matter of season confusion was discussed for a while, and then it was put aside for the time being. Several people skipped the tree and continued to move forward.After their backs were far away, a tall and slender figure came to the wall. He seemed to raise his head and glanced in the direction of their departure. Clean and beautiful fingers like works of art stretched out from under the cuffs of the monk's clothes, and took Picked up the persimmon.

Further forward is the gate of the city.Originally, they just came out to have a look, and didn't have the intention to leave the city, but when the city gate standing under the gloomy sky appeared in sight, the group of people stopped at the same time.

The vermilion lacquer of the large pillars under the broad gate tower is peeling off, flocks of crows are circling on the top of the gate tower, and the cries of mourning birds echo in the surrounding fields, and there is an invisible pressure bound here.Layers of leaden gray clouds pressed down from the sky, and the gloomy and cramped atmosphere was almost breathless.

Ze Tianya stood tens of meters away from the city gate, looked up at the towering gate tower that seemed to be inserted into the depths of the clouds, and pursed his lips.

"... Luocheng Gate."

Luocheng Gate on Suzaku Avenue in Kyoto.

She heard the boy beside her "tsk" impatiently, "So not only the time, but also the space is messed up, this damn place."

A crow flapped its wings and landed on the eaves flying obliquely above the gatehouse. Its dark feathers were almost the same color as the sky.It tilted its head, seemed to see the people under the city gate, opened its mouth and yelled twice, then spread its wings and flew away.

A cold wind blew from the street behind, and it seemed that it was going to rain, and the air was heavy with thick humidity.

"General, do you want to go and have a look?"

Just as Sawada Ya was about to nod, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by rumbling thunder.A few drops of rain fell sparsely, falling on the fingertips of little Lolita, wrapped in the yin energy accumulated on the street, as cold as ice.

It won't work if I don't go down here.None of them brought rain gear, so they could hide from the rain under the city gate.

The closer you got, the stronger the smell of something rancid in the air.When she could clearly see the piles of "things" piled up under the city gate, Ze Tianya's vision suddenly went dark, and a hand stretched out from the side to cover her eyes.

Little Loli blinked in a daze, "Fushimi?"

The little girl's slender eyelashes brushed the palm of her hand, a little itchy.Fushimi Saru lowered his eyes and pulled her towards him again, "Don't move around."

Sawada Ya obediently said "Oh", and honestly held his wrist without moving.Fushimi pushed her back with one hand, then raised his head and looked gloomyly at the scene in front of him.

It was almost reminiscent of Hell, with masses of dead bodies.It's not that there is any major disaster here, but that robbers and foxes often make nests here, and unclaimed corpses are also thrown here.Over time, Yin Qi has accumulated almost the entire city gate, and fewer and fewer people will come here.Rotting corpses were mixed with the dilapidated stone steps with long weeds, and a few black crows fell from the eaves, pecking at the carrion that was thrown here.

Fushimi lowered his eyelashes slightly, and a few sparks popped out from his fingertips.

The crimson sparks fell to the ground and burned into a prairie fire. The corpses piled under the city gate were encircled by the flames in an instant, and the fire with a destructive aura covered the entire city gate like flowing water.

Ze Tianya heard a slight "cracking" sound of something being burned, she obediently did not speak, but let the young man around her surround her.After a while, those voices stopped, and then little Lolita spoke softly, "Fushimi, are you ready?"

The fingers covering her eyes were retracted, and Ze Tianya opened her eyes again, and what appeared in front of her eyes was the Luocheng Gate that had been completely missing by a fire.Even the dark clouds on the roof were dispelled a little, and a rare ray of skylight leaked from the roof through the gap in the eaves.

Sawada Ya obediently did not ask what Fushimi burned just now, but when her eyes swept over the ashes on the ground, a sudden refraction caught her attention, and she gave a strange "Huh".

Ze Tianya let go of her hand and ran over. Just as she was about to pick up the broken light, someone picked it up like a kitten and put it aside. Little Loli blinked her eyes and turned her head.

"It's not that I said not to run around."

Fushimi pulled her away impatiently, then squatted down, and rummaged through the pile of ashes with his slender and clean fingers.

"You're looking for this?" He took out a flat piece of metal, which was still a little smoky gray and black because of the fire.

At this time, Yaken just happened to walk from behind, and saw the metal piece that Fushimi was pinching with his fingertips, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"...General, this is a fragment of the sword."

After being frozen for several seconds, Fu Sangshen's slightly deep voice came from behind.Sawada Ya turned her head, the black-haired boy Fu Sangshen's expression was as stiff as if he had put on a mask, and those lavender eyes, which were always gentle and calm, were frozen, reminiscent of the ice and snow in the wilderness.

Sawada Ya looked up following his line of sight, under the beam of skylight that leaked down, dots of refracted light lit up in the dark ashes.Under the beautiful picture like the Milky Way, just thinking about it makes people feel shuddering all over.

How many knives were broken in this piece of land where a large number of corpses were piled up before?
