[K] Shoot Zhou Fangzun

Opening his eyes suddenly, the too bright light stimulated his vision to turn white, Ogata's mind went blank for a few seconds, and then he slowly came back to his senses.The clean and pattern-free ceiling, the erected bottle holder, the hose connecting the body... She heard the rhythmic beeping sound from the heart rate monitoring instrument in her ear, and her eyes slowly shifted from directly above to the side, and she endured the pain. Sitting up on the bed with the pain, his eyes finally fell on himself.

Ogata looked down at his hands, his wrists were carefully wrapped in gauze, and the fine wounds were cleaned and coated with potion.She was stunned for a while, then carefully touched her chest, "It hurts." The slight touch sent out an unbearable signal from her body, and the memories before she fell into a coma flooded her mind again, and the huge amount of information made her feel dizzy dizzy.

"Miss Ogata, please stay on the hospital bed!" The doctor rushed to stop her from getting out of bed, the black-haired girl who had just taken off the respirator looked at him in a daze, and asked softly: "Where is the Red King?" Where?" The doctor who was injecting her with sedatives did not answer, she repeated her question, and intense fatigue hit her heart.

"Zun is looking for someone, don't worry Tou-chan~" A familiar voice came into Ogata's ears.

"Mr. Kusanagi!" The doctor frowned in dissatisfaction, and blamed: "Without permission, even a supervisor has no right to enter the ICU..."

"He went to find Hatta and the others?" The soft questioning voice interrupted the doctor's words, Ogata withdrew his hand, caught the unconscious doctor's body, laid him down on the bed, and walked aside to search for his clothes.She couldn't help frowning as she walked, and with every step, there was a frightening pain in her body, as if something was broken.

"No, Touchan~" The blond young man stared at her, shaking his fingers, with a hint of warning in his tone, "I promise Zun will keep an eye on you, and I won't let you run away~"

Putting the coat directly on the outside of the patient's uniform, Ogata looked up at him, his face still pale, but there was a little panic in his eyes, "Brother Kusanagi, go find Zun, let's go together...don't let him touch Tosu and Hatta, At least not now!" She tried her best to calm her breath, relax her body, let the tree of life replace her as the support of her body, and seized the time to explain: "Green implanted the incomplete tree of life in their bodies, and the hint given was to disregard life. to attack the Red King, so..."

Kusanagi Izumo pushed his glasses, "Is it the same as you were?"

Ogata's movements froze for a moment, she was silent for a few seconds, struggling inside, and finally replied with difficulty: "Yes..." She looked into Kusanagi's eyes, "Anyway, please believe me this time, I will not run away, nor will I run away." I don’t want to evade anymore...I can decide whatever sentence I want later, but now...go stop him now, please!"

A heavy sense of powerlessness spread in her body, she clenched her fists and said in a low voice, "I've had enough..."

Obviously you have decided to give up everything, and you have decided to use your life to repay the harm you have done to you, but why did you let me survive again?Why save me, why not let me just end it like that? !Do you know how much perseverance it took me to not dodge the moment I pulled the trigger?Do you know that I've been-

Do you know that I don't have the guts to raise a gun to myself anymore? !

How can I, who is so timid and cowardly, have the right to appear in front of you?I would be ashamed to be an afterimage in your memory...why not stop my time at the moment of the gunshot?Why not let the memory about me stay at the moment of repayment?

Ogata rushed towards the hiding place in his memory with all his strength, the faint light of water floating in his eyes.

I've had enough... a life of being controlled, memories cut and pasted together and sealed, it all makes me sick...

What am I?

Life is a cycle of healing fluids and endless battles from conscious awareness.My father once promised that, counting from the first mission, after ten years of execution, the ability will be erased and we will be free.Everyone is fighting for this empty promise, but how long has it been until today?Six years... In less than six years, I am the only one left among all the people.

There is nothing to look forward to, all smiles are preparations for deception, inhibitors have become the hand that strangles fate, the blood splashed every time I kill the target will become the sea water in my endless nightmare, those blurred corpses Hands reached out to me in the cold water, grabbed my ankles and dragged me into a darker abyss.

What am I?Why am I going through all this?

I have nothing left...the only life that you can choose to end by yourself, but you don't bother to charge for it...what else can I give you?What else can I give you, you tell me, you tell me!

What else do you want from me, respect?

The wound burst during the fast running, and blood spilled out of the gauze, but she didn't have time to take care of it.The abandoned building is full of plant remains. The burnt thorns are broken on the ground, giving off a strange burnt smell. The plant juice mixed with acid is black and green. She feels a slight lack of oxygen and holds on to the wall Breathe slightly.

Kusanagi, who caught up with her from behind, grabbed her with one hand and stopped him, "You wait here, I'll go in and find him."

"It's okay...he's already here...I guess he's already seen Cocoon..." The black-haired girl regained her footing, staring at the dark distance, and shouted vigorously: "Zun! Zhou Fangzun!"

"Come out! Come back immediately!"

"Don't touch them! Sir! Stop!"

Ogata breathed tremblingly and listened to her own echo. She didn't get a response for a long time. She closed her eyes, opened them again, looked at Kusanagi and said, "Maybe... I've seen it already." She pursed her lips, her eyes The green in the tree became dim, "I'll go in with you. Although it's just a broken tree, the fighting instinct has been completely transplanted into the host body, if you do it, it may hurt..."

Kusanagi was still listening to her at first, but at some point, he started looking behind her.

"Ogata?"

A familiar deep voice came from behind, and Ogata was stunned for a few seconds before turning around.She stared stiffly at the red-haired young man approaching step by step, his figure was clearly reflected in her eyes.

The Scarlet King, who was carrying Hatta and ten bundles, was in a bit of a mess, but it was just a mess in terms of clothing.His eyes fell on Ogata's bleeding fingertips, a little anger rose in his pupils, and he handed over the supporter to Kusanagi. He walked over and grabbed her shoulders, looked at her neck, and checked again. Twist her wrist, and asked in a deep voice: "You want to die in front of me that much?"

She pursed her lips tightly and remained silent, she lowered her eyes and didn't even want to look at him. The bleeding wound was still ignored, and the pain seemed to be forgotten by her.This stubborn and awkward look made Zhou Fang feel both headache and distressed. He wanted to touch her cheek, but he was worried that she would dodge, so in the end he could only hold her uninjured hand and pull her upstairs. go down.

"You put Hatta down..." She looked back at Kusanagi as if asking for help, then turned to Zhou Fang and explained: "Green hinted to him that the tree of life will force him to attack you. As soon as he regains consciousness, he will attack you." Do it, so it's safer for you to hand him over to Brother Kusanagi...it's safer for him."

Zhou Fang paused for a moment, then continued to walk downstairs.After walking out of the building, he put down the unconscious Hatta, dragged the pale Ogata to him, stared into her eyes and asked, "You too?"

"No, I'm different from them." Unlike when replying to Kusanagi, Ogata gave a negative answer.She didn't mean to deceive him at all, she calmly looked back into his eyes and stated: "Sealing memories is one of my abilities, attacking you is not spontaneously carried out by the tree of life, it is a psychological hint I added to myself. The tipping point is your complete trust, and when your vigilance drops to the lowest value, I will strike, regardless of time and place."

The nonchalant tone gave Zhou Fang the urge to beat her up, but seeing her bruised and bruised, he felt unable to do so.The king glared at the girl in front of him with fire in his eyes, wouldn't it be good for this guy to just answer "yes"?Do you have to tear it apart to explain clearly?

"On purpose?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Ogata was silent for a while, then changed the subject and said, "Brother Kusanagi, please put down the ten bundles, I will deal with the tree of life in their bodies first."

She slightly broke free from Zhou Fang's hand, but she didn't. The girl froze for a moment, looked up at the dissatisfied king for a few seconds, and finally said softly, "I'll deal with the remnants of the Tree of Life first, then explain to you..."

Zhou Fang: "You try to lie to me again?"

Ogata, who was let go, unconsciously stroked the wrist that was held by him just now. The remaining warmth on the skin showed that he cared about her, and the broken heart seemed to be warmed by this kind of temperature.She looked at Zhou Fang, shook her head helplessly, and whispered: "Never again."

She walked to Toku and Hatta, who were placed side by side by the wall, with their backs against the wall, sitting crookedly.Because Zhou Fang had some scruples, he didn't strike hard, just knocked the two of them unconscious. Ogata checked the wounds on the wrists of the two, borrowed a lighter from Kusanagi, reshaped it into a metal knife, and cut a hole in the original position. Wound.

"The trees in the two of them come from me, that is to say, the tree of life in my body is the mother, so I should handle it no matter what." Ogata explained, while pulling off the bandage on his wrist, the wrist The wound on her chest tended to become more and more serious due to repeated ruptures, and Zhou Fang, who was watching her from the side, frowned involuntarily.

"I will forcibly recover the fragments of the tree of life in their bodies. It may be a little painful, so I need your help. Let's start with Mr. Ten Beams. Please hold him down and don't let him struggle."

Ogata stuck the wound on his wrist to Shishu's wrist, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Then I'll start."
