Salvation equals death

【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"Ahhh! !Ahhh! ! ! ! 】

"...system, be quiet."

Chiyo lay on the bed with slack eyes, and murmured angrily: "... Is it my illusion? Why do you think you are becoming more and more like a shrew?"

The sound of the system, which was complained by the host, stagnated, and then there was a burst of garbled characters. After a moment of silence, it became more and more noisy.

[He actually teased my cabbage in front of me!Such a big savior!I managed to raise it!He actually wanted to push my cabbage!Ahhhhh I killed him——! 】

"I don't think there's anything wrong with Hong-kun's invitation." Chiyo frowned somewhat troubled, as if facing the unreasonable mother-in-law, "It's not good for you to slander Hong-kun like this."

[! ! ! 】The system was stunned by its ruthless and unreasonable dog host, and it once again threw out its increasingly skilled shrew and scolded,【Oh my God, is there any reason!You actually hit it back!Who fed you up with energy and gems? !ah?I tell you!You are not allowed to go to the fireworks festival!According to the lessons learned from the past, the longevity species will generally fall on love and never climb out of the pit! 】

"Where's the lesson from the past?" Chiyo pulled the quilt over her head, not wanting to hear the system's continued nagging.

[Hmm... For example, "Things I Have to Talk to the Vampire Prince", "Love in Twilight", "Ghost Love" and so on...? 】

"...Did you download some virus template?" Chiyo revealed a furry head from under the quilt, sincerely feeling that her guardian was mentally ill.

After the system came to this era, it didn't know what kind of weird data package it downloaded. The whole thing is a natural love brain, no matter what it looks like, it looks like love.

[I think too much?ah?I think too much? ! 】The system screamed,【Is there any difference between what he said just now and Natsume Soseki's translation of "The moonlight is so beautiful"? !ah? 】

"The moonlight is so beautiful?" Chiyo raised her head in confusion, "What is that?"

The shrew system in the hoarse voice was silent for an instant, and it was silent for a long time. Only then did it belatedly realize that although the host was from East Asia, she was a real girl who grew up in Europe and the United States.

... And judging from the fact that the host always unconsciously hits straight balls to flirt with girls, the word "reserved" probably doesn't exist in the host's mind.

I'm going, damn it... Isn't it because I overreacted and reminded the host that this is actually a confession?If the host doesn't know, maybe this matter can be fooled?

The system was about to pretend to be dead, but the growing host was no longer as easy to fool as before. Seeing that it was not going to answer, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to search for "Moonlight is so beautiful"...

[What kind of love is the savior talking about?ah!Say it! 】The system is crying in a storm,【What's so good about love?Love is a dog thing that is both possessive and exclusive, and it can also make people very greedy! 】

[If you are the kind of scumbag who runs away for fun, I won't stop you. Falling in love can be regarded as regulating your body and mind, but don't think that I don't know that your view of love is unswerving until death. How can I rest assured that you will go? love what ah! 】

【Anyway, sooner or later you will be the one to leave, so don't give them unnecessary hopes, can't you? 】

"I don't understand." Chiyo frowned slightly, pinching the phone and said, "You want me to have a human heart, but you don't want me to touch love. What are you thinking?"

[The love I'm talking about is something like family and friendship, not love, which is no different from the emotion of being attached to the bone. 】The system fluctuated for a while,【The former two can prevent you from choosing self-destruction in a long life, but the latter has no other effect except to let you fall into a place of eternal doom!No one can live without them, and I want you to understand that. 】

"But I can't completely follow your plan and become what you expected." Chiyo tilted her head slightly, and said frankly, "Love is the greatest existence in the world, and I don't think it is wrong. "

[…] The system hates the deep-rooted bright thought that Alex has planted for the host. It is powerless to shake this idea, but it does not intend to compromise for it, [but you don’t like torment, do you? 】

"..." Chiyo was stunned suddenly, she had no concept of love and did not refute the system's conclusion for a while.

[Then reject him for me! 】The system gritted its teeth and snorted, 【Don't leave people with unnecessary hopes, if you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, and you don't expect to see him sink in the mud, right? 】

Chiyo sat on the side of the bed and thought carefully for a long time before saying: "...I don't think Mr. Hong would have such feelings for me. System, you are worrying too much."

[If it's really me who is worrying too much, then you should reject him! 】The system is almost going crazy.

"Your request is very rude." Chiyo patiently tried to reason with his guardian, "He invited me to participate in the fireworks festival. As a friend, it is reasonable to push down other affairs as much as possible to accompany him."

——In Chiyo's eyes, Hong Jiaodong is still the kind and lonely little boy in his memory, and he has never changed.

The system can't wait to hit the bastard host's head with a hammer.

After forcibly persuading the system, Chiyo began to think about his reply, and when they parted, Hong Jiaodong exchanged contact information with her, telling her that she can think about it carefully, don't worry, and don't worry too much about his wishes.At this time, in addition to the affectionate nicknames of the girls in each class and the powerful title of Izuku Midori, there is also an existence with a different style of painting in Chiyo's mobile phone - Mr. Hong.

A title that seems respectful and alienated, but is actually full of memories.

Chiyo silently deducted words, wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote, and finally sent a well-behaved reply: [Hong Jun, I am free on the day of the fireworks festival, thank you for inviting me. ]

Chiyo was about to fall asleep after sending out the message. It was getting late, and most of the people should have gone to bed, but Chiyo, who thought she would receive a reply the next day, found that "typing "In...", the person on the other end of the phone seemed to have the same entangled and hesitant mentality as her, and no message was sent after writing for a long time.

Hong Jun: [Then I will pick you up then.Go to bed early, your body is just right, you must be very tired, right? ]

Chiyo was stunned for a moment, only to feel a slight warmth in his heart, and a smile could not help but appear on his lips.

Chiyo: [I'm fine, everyone worked hard today.Good night, Mr. Boom. ]

Hong Jun: [Good night, Chiyo. ]

Those unsolvable and chaotic thoughts disappeared with a "good night", Chiyo put down the phone, and the slightly anxious mood returned to calm.

Yes, there is nothing wrong, whether you like it or admire it, those things related to love are beautiful and worth cherishing, there is no need to stay away, as long as everything goes with the flow.

Chiyo, whose heart was untied, had a good night's sleep and had no dreams all night.

On the other side, Hong Jiaodong looked at the phone silently for a long time, and after a while, he turned off the communication software commonly used by young people that he specially downloaded today, and put the phone aside.

Although the other party agreed to go to the fireworks festival together, it can be seen from the other party's reply that she didn't think about other things at all.

Although he was a bit disappointed, it was also expected. After all, the person reflected in those clear golden eyes was probably the lonely and cowardly Hong Jiaodong in his childhood.

Lying in the quilt, Hong Jiao Dong rested one hand on his head, looking almost absent-mindedly at the ceiling illuminated by the moonlight outside the window.

In the distant childhood, in those nights without nightmares, the heartbeat and temperature of another person, like gentle water and bright sunshine, slowly flowed in his blood.

Curing... a disease called "loneliness".

——Thus, the lonely boy would miss and yearn so much, wanting to get that share...the body temperature belonging to another person.

The weekend after the Xiongying Sports Festival just happened to give the students a time to digest and breathe. After the excitement faded, it would not affect the next week's class.

This period of time is also the time for major firms to decide who to invite based on the performance of the Heroic Sports Festival. Each firm has two designated places, which can be invited, but whether to accept or not depends on the wishes of the students themselves.

[Qi Shi also has two designated places, have you decided who to designate? 】

"There is a girl named 'Famuming' in the Xiongying Support Division, who performed very well in the first level." Chiyo had already thought of a candidate, and she also made her debut with Pan, "If possible, try to get her, she is a very good talent .”

"And the other name... send it to Baibai for me." Chiyo tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Baibai has a strong personality, but the knowledge she can acquire is limited, things like heat-weapons, She's still hard to come by."

If 800 million can write down the structure of Qishi's various high-tech weapons, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to her future actual combat.

Chiyo didn't think there was anything wrong, and he was only thinking about the system of sacrificing the host to save the world, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with leaking the secrets of his company at will, so he sent invitation letters to Famuming and 800 million Bai.

The technological development path of the last world and this world is different, but there is no doubt that the technological development controlled by the former civilization system is better. At least the former civilization has explored the parallel plane, and it can be said that it has reached the peak of science and technology.

[It's been almost 200 years since the paranormal came. ] The system complained, [The era of AllForOne’s rule has made the human technology of this plane stagnant for 200 years. Humans in the extraordinary dawn period gave up exploring the universe in order to study individuality, and instead studied various combat auxiliary equipment and the potential of the human body. , but it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. 】

——Technology is Pandora's box, but even if everything is repeated and reincarnated, human beings with deep "curiosity" in their souls will still choose to open it, without exception.

"I don't quite understand something." Chiyo walked out of the house wearing a mask. Since the Xiongying Sports Festival, Xiongying's students have become famous, even if they walk on the street, they can be recognized by passers-by.

"No matter how much trouble the Jiuze family makes, it will only affect the scope of the Neon Kingdom, and it has not reached the level of 'destroying the world', right?"

This is a point that Chiyo has always been confused about. If the disaster in the previous world was a global disaster, then the disaster in Kuze Palace would not affect the whole world anyway.

[Have you heard of the butterfly effect and singularity? 】The system calmly explained,【A butterfly flapping its wings may set off a storm, and a singular point that exists but does not exist may naturally become the starting point of a "big bang". 】

【And as I said before, disasters will happen when human beings offend the realm of the gods.It is wrong to attempt to transcend life and death as a mortal and reverse the cause and effect of life. 】

[The road to the fire in this world has long been broken. Generations of witches can lead the souls of the dead to the other side by sacrificing themselves, and you are here to completely solve this problem. 】

[However, the matter of transcending death itself is a domain controlled by the gods. If humans want to do what the gods can do, they must pay a huge price. 】

[Those witches use the pain of the body to sublimate the noble souls. When they are tortured and dying, their beliefs will condense into powerful and pure four souls at the moment they get rid of their desires, and become gods in an instant. 】

[If we say that the disaster of the previous world was that countless warriors went forward and burned themselves one after another, then the disaster of this world is that one person bears endless malice, which is extremely distorted and deformed. 】

[But you will be the last home of those restless souls, I believe so. 】

Chiyo walked through the quiet park in the early morning, and saw snow-colored shadows rising and falling on the lawn, like surging waves, it was a white dove praising peace.

The halo of morning light splashed on the girl's face, making her brows soft, like a piece of melted honey.Since the heroic sports festival, she seemed to have unloaded some invisible burden, becoming light and clear.

Suddenly, the corner of Chiyo's eyes saw a dark color, and the footsteps that were about to move forward paused slightly, then turned in one direction, and walked towards the public seat next to the lawn.

A young man in a black windbreaker was sitting on a bench not far away, lazily tearing a piece of bread. He took a bite of the bread, then rubbed the crumbs off his palm and fed them to the pigeons on the lawn, as lazy as a cat.

The park where the sky is shining is the least crowded place, so you don't have to worry about scaring others with your miserable description, let alone worry about noisy people disturbing your early morning.

When the empty seat next to him was suddenly occupied by someone, Dabi subconsciously turned his head and glanced, only to find that sitting next to him was a girl who was no older than a high school student, with a mask covering her face, and moonlight-like silver-white hair hanging behind her. Only a pair of round and gentle golden eyes were exposed, like fragments of sunshine.

Dabi didn't remember who it was for a moment, but felt that it was too unsuspecting for the little girl to unsuspectingly approach someone who looked abnormal like him.

Dubi was about to leave, but the girl next to her suddenly said, "Sir, I'm here to apologize."

This voice is highly recognizable, neither crisp nor magnetic, but gentle, as soft as an old man who has gone through vicissitudes of life, his joy, anger, sorrow, and joy have all turned into clouds of smoke, and every level and ups and downs carry a poetry like water. smell.

"I admitted to the wrong person before, and I offended you. I'm really sorry." The girl sat on the bench with her back straight and looked ahead, her gaze did not fall on Dabi, "I'm really sorry that I surprised you .”

Dabi's movement to stand up stalled, he remembered the identity of the person beside him in a blink of an eye, so he returned to his position and looked at the rising sun in the east, but for some reason, he felt some unspeakable injuries in his heart.

"Wrong person?" He said lazily, like a cat stretching its body after drying its belly in the sun. "You can also recognize the wrong person with my appearance? Then I really want to meet."

"It was a playmate of mine when I was a child." Chiyo didn't look at the young man beside him, but looked at the rising sun in the distance, and explained softly, "I haven't seen him for ten years, and I wasn't sure what he looks like now, so A little impulsive."

"Childhood playmate?" Dubi curled his lips in an unclear manner, "I'm almost eight years older than you, right? You can admit it? Does it matter if you care?"

——Dabi couldn't forget the girl's eyes when she looked up at him, the blank, broken, heart-piercing grief and hesitation.

"That's true. The color of hair, facial features... There are obviously many differences." Chiyo explained calmly, with a brilliant sunrise in his eyes.

"However, even if there is only one ten-thousandth possibility, I can't let it go. The hair color can be dyed, the face can be changed, the skin can be changed, and the age and height can be imitated. Compared with 'change', 'what has been suffered' is more important. It's what I care about the most."

Chiyo herself has been re-quantized, her appearance has changed, her hair color has changed, and even her "personality" is different from before. What is impossible in this world?

She said seriously: "However, I never thought that my husband would really respond to my temptation."

Dabi sneered, and lazily elongated his tone: "Is that still my fault?"

"No, it's my fault." The girl said modestly, "Although it's a bit of a coincidence, I admitted the wrong person first, please forgive me, sir."

"What if I say 'no'?" As soon as Dabi said this, he lost interest in an instant, thinking that he was really boring to bargain with a little girl here.

So he stood up, holding the mineral water in one hand and putting the other in his pocket, ready to leave.

"I can make it up to you, as long as I can do it." Chiyo replied calmly, still sitting motionless on the bench.

Tubi unscrewed the cap of the water bottle and took a sip, narrowed his eyes, and hooked the corners of his mouth evilly: "Then have you found your 'Mr. Hong'?"

Chiyo was stunned for a moment, then nodded, she still wanted to say something, but Dabi turned and left without saying a word.

On the advertising screens on both sides of the street, there was still a highlight clip of the Xiongying Sports Festival not long ago. The boy with red and white hair picked up the girl with broken wings and walked towards the boundary of the field step by step.

The handsome young man had a look of hurt that he didn't know about, and Dubi watched quietly for a while, but couldn't help but sneer.

"It's so sad, boom, frozen—"

The young man turned and left. He grabbed the mineral water bottle tightly, and smashed the plastic bottle into the trash can on the street with a bang. The black windbreaker made a rattling sound in the morning wind.

——He and the boy on the screen, just like light and shadow, went against each other and drifted away.
