Humanoid self-propelled wishing machine

"I have... there is no way to continue."

In the empty Japanese-style room, there is only a huge black character "静" hanging on the wall facing the door, and Tsushima Rei quietly kneels and sits quietly. On the futon in the center of the room, he closed his eyes and carried out today's practice according to the teacher's request.

Concentrate and calm down, get rid of distracting thoughts.

And behind Tsushima Reo's thin and straight back, the old man wearing a solemn monozuki hakama lay down on the tatami floor, the wide feathers were spread out like a cloud, and his knees Touching the ground, folded his hands, and kowtowed his head deeply and deeply.

The face that was buried in the small space surrounded by the arm, seemed to be aging again, was covered with cold and sticky wet sweat, his turbid yellow eyes were wide open, the pupils were dull, and the wings of the nose were flaring. The stretched, shriveled lips trembled uncontrollably, and even the loose flesh trembled like jelly hanging upside down.

"Manipulating dozens of people every day, playing dozens of personalities, completing dozens of jobs, bearing the pressure and burden that increases exponentially, the soul seems to be divided into pieces, and the thoughts become chaotic and dark. Shen, there is no room for error or omission in every decision..."

"Master Shenzi, I have already realized my mistake... Please, take back the gift you once bestowed, and let those who disappeared under my mistake come back!"

One call.

Take a breath.

Reo Tsushima still had her eyes closed, her thick black eyelashes poking her lower eyelids, fluttering like a small fan.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, with a dignified and holy expression on his face, which isolated Lu Dou's plea from the Zen Academy from himself.

The teacher taught him to ignore the interference from the outside world, and to have a pure and unsullied soul and heart. Only with a godly devotion can he receive a little pity from the gods, and let the gods who are high above him give a little grace.

but.

'Brother... aren't you hungry? Erina's vague and indistinct voice sounded, she reminded kindly with a little sleepiness, "It's already noon. '

The gods served by Reo Tsushima are different.

Erina is both gentle and kind, her love and dependence on Reo Tsushima does not need to be expressed in words, and it will naturally come from the junction of their souls that are closely attached to each other. She does not need Reo Tsushima's humble begging. Willing to fulfill Reo Tsushima's wish.

"Den-"

The punctual bell rang.

Today's class is over.

Reio Tsushima opened her eyes, quickly got up from the futon, walked around Lu Dou of the Zen Academy who was lying on all fours, and walked towards the dining room.

He habitually ignored the huge obstacle, and only whispered small words to Erina, "I'm going. '

But Lu Dou, who was left behind by him, still pressed his head against the tatami mat woven with rush grass, with red and purple marks printed on his forehead, and red blood streaks were densely crawling on his slightly protruding eyeballs. Sometimes dignified, sometimes sad, sometimes ecstatic and sometimes furious, he was muttering some insane words that didn't match the beginning and the end.

"I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy... Haha, this group of guys with eyes that grow to the sky are actually kneeling and worshiping me... If the war can be won, it is normal to sacrifice tens of thousands of people... ...No! It's nonsense, how can this kind of plan be passed..."

The random words of Lu Dou in the Zen Academy were like the buzzing sound of a fly flapping its wings, which gradually became weaker and weaker with the distance.

.

How pathetic.

Even though he was used to seeing Lu Dou's appearance in the Zen Academy, such compassionate thoughts would still arise in Tsushima's heart very occasionally.

Obviously at the beginning, he just wanted to let the people who participated in the festival forget all about his embarrassment.

Later, he felt unwilling and wanted to take revenge on these annoying guys who laughed at him.

Then I remembered the original purpose of holding the ceremony, and wanted to deter those ignorant and invisible politicians.

After that, he thought that every time he saw these people again, this shameful memory would be recalled by himself, and he wished that all these people would disappear.

Like a snowball, the more things are considered, the greed and desire in the heart are also infinitely magnified, and the small snowball rolls round and round, covered with layers of snow. The thick shell rolled bigger and heavier, and after being pushed to the highest point, it faltered and stagnated for a moment, and then along the long downhill, it ran all the way to the bottomless abyss without stopping or turning back. Until he fell to the bottom of the valley and was smashed to pieces.

——Just replace these guys.

At a certain moment, such an idea suddenly popped up in Lu Dou's mind.

He frankly faced his emotions of shame and resentment and unresolved desires. He didn't restrain his thoughts like a decent person, and he didn't want to continue to maintain his rationality. He tried his best to profit for the family and fight for power in the magic world. , On the altar that looked like an execution platform, the selfishness in Lu Dou's heart was magnified to the extreme.

He acted without hesitation, without even the slightest sense of shame or guilt, his eyes were full of the pleasure of getting revenge on everyone at that moment.

Amid the mocking gazes of the crowd, Lu Dou of the Zen Academy spoke first before other high-ranking figures in the magic circle who understood Erina's terrifying abilities as well as him could react.

'Master Erina,' his tone was low and deep, unobtrusive amidst the whispering laughter, 'Can I control all the people who participated in this festival? '

Lu Dou of the Zen Academy spoke very slowly. While thinking carefully, he perfected his wishes one by one.

'I want the obliteration of their own will. '

'I want their own talent, memory and character to be preserved. '

'I want to control their bodies with my own will. '

'I want to be able to take into account everyone's tenacity at all times. '

'Master Erina... let them become the things in my palm, the puppets I play with in my hands! '

The shame that remained in Lu Dou's heart disappeared like mist.

At that moment, the brilliance of ambition bloomed again in his gloomy pupils, and in his heart was the peace of mind and joy of recovering his crumbling dignity and face.

The dark-featured monster, like a ghost boy who came out of a thriller, grinned strangely, moved his mouth, and agreed to his request, 'Okay. '

Erina fulfilled his wish without deviation, neither too much nor too little.

She said, 'Here you are. '

.

Lu Dou of the Zen Academy only persisted for about half a year.

He knew that the wish he made would definitely increase the difficulty of the next forced request, so he didn't even dare to meet with Reo Tsushima lightly, but the servants who served the Son of God, the teacher who taught the Son of God, and the various This kind of extravagant food and clothing has never stopped.

At first, Lu Dou of the Chanyuan was of course joyful and complacent.

He alone controls the top management of the entire conjuration world, and even the powerful figures of the Yusanjia have been quietly replaced by him. Under such circumstances, it can even be said that the entire conjuration world has become His eloquence.

The few politicians who came to watch the ceremony were responsible for contacting the magic world. They were all important officials in charge of the government's military and diplomacy. The power they held in their hands was combined, and they could even influence the country's foreign policy. Let the Prime Minister consider withdrawing the order that has been issued.

But now, those elite figures with high positions and powers standing at the top of the entire society are just empty shells that have lost the most important soul of human beings and are at his mercy.

A government with only one person, a world of conjuration that only follows the ideas of one person, and a person in power who is imprisoned by old and feudal ideas.

No matter how you look at it, you can't see the bad situation of getting the HE ending, and it gradually slipped into the abyss as expected.

Such rapidly expanding filthy desire for power made Lu Dou of the Zen Academy float up like a helium-filled balloon, and he rose high into the thin air with his empty heart and false dreams in his arms. Rising, rising and bulging, the outer skin was thinned by the unbalanced air pressure inside and outside, and then panicked belatedly.

One morning in the middle of winter, the sky was dark and low, with gray clouds piled up thickly, and it was a gloomy weather like snow.

The overwhelmed Zenyuan Lu Dou finally plucked up the courage to meet Tsushima Reyo.

At that time, his mental state was not very good, his eyes were heavy, his pupils were dull, his face was pale and purple, and he was chanting words, his expression was unpredictable, and he would be feared and avoided when he walked on the street. open appearance.

After shouldering all the responsibilities by himself, Lu Dou of the Chanyuan began to be timid, looking forward and backward.

Unlike before, if he made a mistake this time, he will be the one who punishes the person who made the mistake severely in order to show justice, he will clean up the mess, he will take the punishment, and he will apologize Also him.

Under such circumstances, he didn't even dare to hold festivals anymore, and used Tsushima Reo at the cost of an unknown number of lives.

In such an unsolvable cycle, as long as he makes a wrong step, he will bear the terrifying pressure of turning a small mistake into a hurricane like a butterfly effect.

He really has an extremely strong spirit, so much so that he can still maintain his personality and will completely in such a brain hell where his spirit is split into dozens of parts, and he even persisted for half a year.

That was a miracle worthy of a standing ovation.

But miracles are called miracles because they don't happen often.

Before turning himself into a lunatic, Zenyuan Lu Dou stumbled to Tsushima Reo, begging him to take back the delicate spider thread that made him climb a deeper layer of hell.

But Miko, who was wearing Wugou Miko's attire, just smiled mysteriously and incomprehensibly, looked down at the pitiful appearance of Lu Dou in the Zen Academy, and said softly, "...that's fine."

He smiled brilliantly, "In this world, impulsiveness is allowed, regret is allowed, and your desires, your actions, and your ugly and greedy heart are not shameful."

The pupils of the Son of God are clear and clean, with compassion and kindness that tolerates all dirt.

The clouds in the sky could no longer bear the heavy water vapor. After the first snowflakes melted, heavy snow like goose feathers fell one after another, covering the entire mountain forest with a monotonous white color.

"but."

The wet and cold water vapor penetrated into Lu Dou's skin at Zenyuan at some point, making him feel a little cold, and his joints seemed to be frozen stiff and unconscious.

"Those who ask for nothing will be cursed."

Shenzi tilted his head, slowly stretched out his hands forward, and made Erina's forceful gesture to Lu Dou of the Zen Academy.

"Are you ready?"

There was such a sweet and romantic smile on his face, "Are you ready—to pay the price for this?"

In the face of such sharp and sharp questioning, it was obvious that Lu Dou of the Chanyuan flinched.

He thought of the wishes he had made, the rope people who died after forcing them a few times before, the media public opinion and public pressure that the politicians once complained about driving people crazy, and the contempt of everyone at the ceremony. look.

His heart seemed to be torn in two, he was swaying back and forth between the pressure of being driven mad and the pain of being humiliated, unable to find a fulcrum of balance, instead he fell into increasingly chaotic thoughts.

Lu Dou of the Chanyuan is acting more and more like a lunatic.

Every day and night, he begged Tsushima Reo to bring everything back to the beginning, but he never took any action; while telling the pain, he forced himself to maintain the operation of the entire magic world and government work of normal operation.

And Reo Tsushima just watched.

look.

Waiting patiently for the kind of future my brother was looking forward to.
