[K] Shoot Zhou Fangzun

The Red King had his back to the window, and his expression was blurred in the dim light.Ogata didn't see clearly that forbearing and tired face until he walked in front of him, and he didn't use the usual impatience and fierceness as a cover, probably because he just woke up, so he really showed the exhaustion in his heart.

Zhou Fang raised his hand, and the red glass beads lay quietly in his palm. He casually glanced at the stiff Ogata, and his eyes stayed on her shoulder for half a second.She almost escaped, and quickly handed him the marbles in her hand, then pinched her skirt, lowered her head and was about to walk past him.

"Where?"

The deep and hoarse voice reached Ogata's ears, she paused, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally turned around.She raised her head, but she didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, her gaze wandered, and she replied: "It's getting late, I'll go and prepare the ingredients for tonight."

"Yeah." He snorted lightly and then didn't continue. Ogata was about to leave when he inadvertently heard him whisper: "Go and rest."

Zhou Fang walked a few steps, blocking the direction that Ogata was going, he had no special expression, his amber eyes returned to a clear and clear state.

Ogata was a little surprised, she was looking at him for the first time since she went downstairs, the other's eyes overlapped with the violent golden-red animal pupils in her memory, but they were clearly different.She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she chose to remain silent in the end.

She sighed softly, looked into Zhou Fang's eyes again, and with a helpless smile, she shook her head slightly, "Why are you so tolerant? I obviously caused you a lot of trouble, didn't I?"

The red-haired young man let out a meaningless snort, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry. Ogata stared at him for a while, but couldn't get a positive response. She touched her left shoulder, which was still slightly aching, and said with a wry smile: " What I said at that time...can I take it back? In fact, if you calm down and think about it, you can probably understand why you want to stop me."

"It's really unwise to fight against S4 on your own." Ogata smiled self-deprecatingly, "If it's not you, there will be others. As long as the disgusting things in my body don't disappear, this kind of prisoner-like life will be gone." It won't end. In fact, this kind of thing has long been accepted intellectually, but emotionally... it is not yet possible."

She forced a smile at Zhou Fang, "Actually, I know I shouldn't have any resentment towards you, but now maybe...sorry, I can't face you calmly for the time being. I don't want to hate you, it's just the pain..."

Her voice suddenly paused, inadvertently recalling that suffocating experience, she immediately took a deep breath to calm the boundless fear in her heart, and clenched the soft skirt with both hands.

"I... I'm sorry for the strange words, I, I'd better calm down by myself." Ogata bowed to him sloppily, walked past him in a hurry with his head down, and hid in the cooking room as if fleeing.

Zhou Fang looked back at her back, a slight doubt flashed in his heart, he pondered for a moment, then walked up the stairs.Walking unhurriedly to Anna's door, he knocked on the door and waited for a while, but no one answered. The red-haired young man frowned slightly, and said, "Anna."

The door was quickly opened from the inside, and the petite girl in a red Lolita dress jumped on him, she grabbed the hem of Zhou Fang's T-shirt tightly, "Respect!"

The burgundy pupils were full of anxiety and fear, Anna looked up at him, and said in a trembling voice: "She wants to kill you, she really wants to kill you."

Zhou Fang who was standing at the door was silent for a while when he heard the words. He patted Anna's shoulder lightly with one hand, and replied in a low voice: "Understood."

"Zun!" Anna was so anxious that she was about to shed tears. She tightly grasped the hem of Zun's clothes, trying to stop his absent-minded behavior. Drop you, put a bullet through your heart, I saw it, I saw it!"

Zhou Fang sighed softly, he leaned sideways against the door frame, and held her cold little hand, "Anna." He looked into her wine-red eyes, and looked at each other silently, for a long time, the white-haired girl lowered her head.

She didn't want to leave, so she stood next to him by the door and whispered, "I hate her."

"Ah." The Scarlet King responded inexplicably, took out his pocket, grabbed the glass beads and returned them to her, but she had no idea how to enlighten her.

Afterwards, until night fell and the bar opened, Shu Fang didn't see Ogata again, and he heard from Kusanagi that she took leave early and returned to her room.When sending Anna upstairs to sleep, Zhou Fang took a look at Ogata's room, the door was closed, the door was dark, it was as quiet as an empty room without people.

At one o'clock in the morning, Homra closed its business. After chatting with Kusanagi, Zhou Fang went back to his room to rest.He didn't remember when he fell asleep, in the chaotic dream, there was a faint smell of fire and burnt.The restless Red King had a very poor sleep quality, so he woke up from his dream immediately after hearing the slight noise from the outside world.

The very soft sound of closing the door.

Zun closed his eyes and didn't want to move, but his keen hearing forced a small sound on him.The soft-soled slippers made a slight friction sound when they touched the floor, and he could almost imagine Ogata's cautious appearance, not wanting to disturb others.

After the sound disappeared, he tried to persuade himself to sleep for a while, but for some reason, he couldn't sleep at all.Zun opened his eyes, sat up and looked out of the window, behind the transparent glass was the endless night, and the bright stars and moon sprinkled silvery light on every corner of Zhenme Town.

Zhou Fang was stunned for a while, and then wanted to touch a cigarette to light it, but he stretched out his hand and realized that his old coat and cigarette case were all reimbursed to the supernatural person management center.He rubbed the space between his brows, and was about to unpack a pack of Marlboro, but suddenly stopped.

He opened the bedroom door and walked along the corridor to the public room. The small open living room was connected to the only bay window on the second floor, where he saw Ogata without any surprise.

The black-haired girl was bathed in a silver light, lowered her head and closed her eyes.

"I came to the yard and used pearl shells to dig a grave. The pearl shells are huge, with smooth surfaces and sharp edges. Every time I scoop up the soil, the moonlight will shine on the inner walls of the shells..."

She was reciting a passage from "Ten Nights of Dreams" in a low voice, and he was attracted here because of this tiny sound.

"I moved her into the grave, and then slowly sprinkled loose soil. Every time I sprinkled the soil, the moonlight would flicker on the inner wall of the pearl shell. I picked up the fallen star fragments and gently placed them on the soil..."

The gentle tone is intoxicating. She seems to be devout and docile as she is reciting a eulogy for herself, but no matter how you listen to it, you can feel that there is a lingering sadness in that voice.

Zhou Fang came closer, Ogata opened his eyes vigilantly, and relaxed a little when he saw him.

"...Did it bother you?" The girl looked very tired, but still greeted him with a forced smile.

The red-haired man walked up to her, leaning against the wall, his amber eyes looked at her quietly for a few seconds, until she looked away from the window, and then asked in a low voice, "Is that dream again?"

Looking at the starry sky, Ogata smiled, and the dim starlight fell into her soft blue eyes.She lowered her head, hummed lightly, and after a while, said in a low voice, "It's actually quite different."

"Hmm." The red-haired young man responded casually to signal her to continue.

"Although it is still the sea, but this time I can still see the light. The sea is not too far above, and the bright golden light shines on me through the sea. It is very close... It seems that I can reach the sea with my hand."

She bent her legs, wrapped her hands around her knees, put her chin on her knees, and gently curved her mouth, "It's really close...you can even see the blue sky above the sea clearly."

"I thought I would touch the sea surface soon, but after swimming for a long time, I realized that the distance between myself and the sea surface has not changed at all, but I can't stop, I will continue to sink if I stop, so I keep going upstream , Upstream... I don't know how long it has been, I am so tired, I don't even have the strength to move my fingers, and finally I can only sink with the cold water, watching the bright light getting farther and farther away from me Far."

Xu Xu stretched out his hand towards the starry sky, held the moonlight and murmured: "The distant light is as small as a star, and the surroundings become pitch black again. There are noisy voices and unknown creatures entrenched in the darkness. I dare not look at it." , and I don’t want to think about it, I just desperately look at that little light, even if I know I can’t touch it, I still want to reach out and grab it.”

Zhou Fang glanced at her calm face first, and then his eyes fell on the supernatural monitor on her right forearm. The silver-white metal glowed coldly under the moonlight. Next to the S4 logo on the inside of the wrist, a red The electronic timer counted down the girl's life every second.

He suddenly had an indescribable throbbing, as if he saw himself at a certain point in time, calm but desperate, waiting for the day of the end without any expectation.With such a similar tragic fate, he felt his throat was dry and hoarse, and he almost couldn't make a sound, and his low voice was mixed with a sigh: "You..."

Ogata turned his head and looked at Zhou Fang who was leaning against the wall. The snowflake-shaped pendant on his chest was shaking slightly with his breathing, unconsciously attracting her attention.

She stared blankly for a few seconds before noticing the king's hand stretched out to her. His slender and powerful fingers stretched in her direction, and a quiet crimson flame ignited on the palm.

"catch me."

His hoarse whispers trembled slightly on Ogata's eardrums, she looked at him, and was surprised to find that there was not much pity in his expression, but a slightly helpless attitude that was almost begging.

The Scarlet King couldn't tell how he was feeling at the moment, he just felt that if he didn't hold her now, there would probably be no future.Pilgrims who have fallen into despair like themselves, even if the holy places they are going to may not be in the same place, at least they can support each other during the short journey.

No matter what, I don't want to see her fall halfway.Zhou Fang stared at her soft blue eyes, and said in a calm but firm tone: "If there is no light, catch me."
