The cracks in the mask are getting bigger and bigger.

The frightening sense of oppression before was more ferocious than ever before.

It was like the last desperate fight of a ferocious beast.

Even if they die, they will be dragged to hell together.

"Death Struggle", the thing emerging from the mask, writhed its tentacles unwillingly and crazily attacked everything around it.

Giotto and Sawada Tsunayoshi ignited the flame tacitly.One person attacks and one person defends, and the protection of several people is airtight.

Only Miss Yuan's side.

"Miss Yuan!"

Giotto shattered the dancing black tentacles again, and rushed towards the girl not far away.

The girl is still stepping on the mask under her feet, as if she is not stepping on a weird and dangerous mask, surrounded by weird things that are frantically attacking.Instead, standing on the bustling street, inadvertently stepped on the fragile plastic products.

She only deepened the smile on her face when facing those monster tentacles that were stalking and grabbing any chance to kill her.

"Trash should look like trash."

Her disdainful statement undoubtedly enraged Mask.

The mask shook even more violently, and a sea of ​​blood surged up on the ground.The red liquid spread rapidly, covering the entire ground in an instant.

The blood-red surface boiled, and then countless blood-red hands grabbed the living people present.

The constant babbling and wailing made people think that they had come to hell.

"Master God! Lord God! Help!"

"We are your faithful believers!"

"Those people are our enemies, detestable gangsters—ah! Ah! Don't touch me! Don't touch me—"

The leader and the man he scooped up were also attacked.However, they did not welcome the power of the gods they believed in as happily as before, but struggled and avoided frantically.

They panicked and begged for mercy, but the "God of Happiness" who was about to die together was obviously not merciful enough to let his followers go.

The more the two struggled, the more they were grabbed and entangled by the blood-red hands.

After a while, it was wrapped like a cocoon and pulled towards the ground.

His screams of fear could only be heard from the red cocoon.

Ah Yuan was also attacked by bloody hands here.

Not only the bloody hands, but those black shots also took her as the main target, constantly attacking her.

Even if it is broken, it will move towards her again.

Even if it withers, it still maintains an offensive posture.

But it didn't work.

There was nothing around the girl, it was clean, but nothing could get close to her.

Even Giotto was kept out.

He wanted to pull her away, but was blocked by something he couldn't see.

It's right in front of your eyes, but it's just the last centimeter, but it seems like a natural danger.Close at hand, but as if far away in the world.

At the same time, he also felt "emotions".

Not one kind, but many, many...

Arrogant, humble.

Angry, happy.

It's as if there are countless people expressing their emotions at the same time.They hold their own opinions, and they negotiate and communicate.

It is obviously the same thing, but there are countless different views and responses.

But in front of him, Miss Yuan was obviously the only one.

——Where did such a complex, indistinguishable multitude of emotions come from?

Giotto had no way of knowing, so he could only ask over and over again: "Miss Yuan?"

"Miss Yuan? Are you okay?"

Finally, Giotto's persistent voice caught the girl's attention, and the moment the girl turned her head, the "voice" disappeared.

The blond youth heaved a sigh of relief, but in the next second, the heart that had just let go rose to his throat again.

He saw the girl's eyes.

That's definitely not Miss Yuan... Or, are those really eyes that humans can have?

Before Giotto could figure it out, the girl spoke again: "Dirty ants, how dare you call yourself a god?"

Gala.Gala.

slap.

The mask she stepped on could no longer bear it and split in two.A fake is always a fake.

When encountering a real card, it can only be dried up and smashed like mud burned by the sun.

Something black and red stuck between the split masks.Wriggling anxiously as if trying to glue the broken mask back together.

However, all this fell short under the action of the girl.

The girl who crushed the mask did not call back, but kicked half of the mask away like a bug.After those living black-red substances squirmed helplessly for a few times, they were completely separated.

Then, black and red, liquid-like things flooded in, flooding everything in the house.

When shrouded in darkness, Oda Sakunosuke saw many things that looked like shards of mirrors.Although the body is swallowed by darkness, it doesn't feel scary.

If you look carefully, you will find that there are trivial fragments in those 'fragments'.

There is a mask, and there is... the thing parasitic on the mask.

In the past, people prayed for the blessing of the "God of Happiness". The young "leader" followed behind the old man dressed as the "leader", tied the "sacrifice" to a stone, and sank into the pond.

The ignorant and painful faces of the children who were chosen as sacrifices.

There are also adults who may be the child's family members crying bitterly.

...and the appearance of the people who are grateful for the completion of the ceremony.

And those murdered children have one thing in common.

That is they all, more or less, have 'weirdness'.

Some say they can move objects through the air, others say they must be possessed by ghosts.

Oda Sakunosuke is very familiar with the "weird" that is extremely incomprehensible to those people.

That is by no means 'misfortune' or 'evil', those are just 'supernormal abilities'.Those children who died in the name of "evil" and "unfortunate" are just people with supernatural powers.

What else do you not understand?

The so-called 'Happiness Ritual' is just a murder done decades ago by people who feared their power.

Those children who were regarded as evil spirits left this world before they grew up and did not realize that the power they possessed was "supernatural power".

And the parasitic thing on that mask revived the "Happiness Festival" that had been stopped...

In fact, it was a dying supernatural power user who was unwilling to die and launched a supernatural power in a frenzy.

The supernatural ability with special attributes and the owner's obsession with not wanting to die are integrated with this special mask. Day after day, year after year, it finally reaches the level that it can affect the people around it.

Fear is more obedient than "getting your wish".

Even a little bit of black mist and blood can scare people half to death.Not to mention being familiar with how to harm the same kind of human beings.

People who were drawn together by fear resumed the worship of the 'God of Happiness'.

And under the influence of the effect of supernatural powers, he firmly believes in the existence of the self-righteous "god".

Oda Sakunosuke couldn't understand.

How could anyone regard such a thing as a god?

Even if he doesn't believe this, he still knows that the gods should be more remarkable, more upright, and more...

What more?

He was a little confused for a moment.

God... what should it look like?

What is it?

The girl woke up in a pure white space.

She blinked, and blinked again.

I couldn't help but speak out what was in my heart.

"It's a god."

Can't remember, but a very familiar male voice said so.

A Yuan turned her head and noticed that she was actually in someone's arms at this moment.

The unruly black hair hung down in front of her, and when it touched her cheek, it felt a little itchy.Empty hands folded together, fingers interlocked.

It must be a very intimate relationship.

Such guesses flashed blankly in the girl's mind.

Although she couldn't remember what was going on, she didn't hate this feeling.

The bodies are pressed together, and you can feel the temperature and steady heartbeat from the other person.Under the solid and warm chest, the heart was beating steadily.

one more time.

Relax and feel at ease.

The girl slowly blinked her eyelids.

really weird.

He just woke up, but was sleepy again.

I really want to just sleep like this.

But with him, it's a pity to fall asleep like this...

Huh?

The girl struggled to wake up from her sleepiness.

Who is "he"?

Noticing the girl's movements as if she had suddenly woken up and her slightly stiff body, the person who held her in his arms moved accordingly. He measured her body, and hesitantly landed his big hand on her body.

He patted him lightly a few times to appease him.

Very unfamiliar, I can feel that he seldom makes such movements.

He seems to be a person who is not good at expressing feelings.

But Ah Yuan could feel his tenderness.

I can't remember anything now, but...

"I must have liked you very much before."

Like and care more than anyone.

The kind that want to be together forever.

"Then stay here forever."

The man's voice sounded again.

"In your domain of the gods, we will be together forever like this."

The man makes a promise.

He is a person who is not easy to deal with, once he makes a promise, he will definitely fulfill it.

The girl can naturally hear the heart in the promise.The heart becomes more and more warm.She almost nodded in response.

Although I don't know where this place is, as long as I'm with "him".She is not afraid of anything.She turned over, trying to hug the man behind her.

"It always feels like a long dream."

"What dream?"

"I dreamed that I went to a strange place, there were people whose heads were on fire, and..." the girl stopped talking, and tilted her head, "Hmm... I can't remember the rest."

"It should be something unimportant. It doesn't matter if you don't want to." The man responded with a gentle voice, and the girl began to feel sleepy again as she listened.

However, just when she raised her head and wanted to say hello to someone before going back to sleep, she inadvertently glanced at the man's jaw and ears and found something.

On the man's ear, there is no red earring that should exist.

...not very expensive.

but……

But... what is it?

No, it shouldn't be like this, there should be more...

more……

With the emergence of suspicion, the figure of the man gradually faded away.

The original room also faded away like dissipated ink, revealing another space.

A garden with no end in sight.

There are all kinds of flowers on both sides of the path. Flowers of different colors and shapes gather together to bloom in full disregard of common sense and reason.

The winter jasmine and chrysanthemum are entangled.

The peach blossoms that should have bloomed on the trees grew on the branches of lily of the valley.

When the wind blows, large areas of flowers wither in an instant, and then bloom again when the next gust of wind blows.

The process of dryness and prosperity is repeated.

It's like showing the "special" here.

The girl walked a little further along the path, and saw a door at the end.

A huge, indescribable door appeared in front of her.

She should have pushed the door open.

Somewhere, someone said that to her.

And she did.

The girl quickened her pace and walked to the gate.

However, as soon as her fingertips touched the door with no visible material, she felt someone's breath coming to the opposite side of the door.

That existence is watching him through the door.And just like this, through the door, touching his fingertips.

The girl didn't know what it was, but she instinctively took a step back and left the door with her hand.

The door in front of him was still dimly lit, and the urging voice in his ear continued.

But she heard a voice from the bottom of her heart.

That's not the door she should be opening.

At least not yet.

"I won't open the door."

she murmured.

"You give up."

After a moment of silence, a violent breath came from the other side of the door.

You can feel the other person's anger without looking.This time, the angry breath came to the door, and the dimly lit door dimmed as if energy had been absorbed.

Only then did Ah Yuan discover that this gate was actually a "stone gate".

I don't know what kind of stone it is, simple and rustic, but strong enough.

Enough to stop him there.

Blocking it with this heavy stone door like an ancient prison...it must not be a good thing.

The girl thought and took two steps back.

Probably because of "hearing" her new life, the aura on the other side of the door became even more violent, and it looked like it was adding fuel to the fire and anger on top of it.

It must be very bad to be so bad-tempered.

boom! boom! boom!

This time the stone door rang.

It was like being slammed in the back.

Under the influence of the breath coming from the door, the surrounding large flower beds began to wither.And no longer withered and then bloomed again as before.

In a short time all the flowerbeds around the path withered into a wasteland.

It's over, the oozing breath is like this, how bad is the body.

"Boom"!

After a loud noise, the whole world shook.

The path under Ah Yuan's feet was even more shattered.Even people led the way and fell down together.

Below is endless darkness.

The feeling of falling never stops, and the girl can feel that she keeps falling down again.

There is no starting point above, and no end in sight below, but the abyss is not all dark.There are also many fragments with a dim light.Like an exploration game, every time you encounter one, the fragments will ripple like the surface of water, revealing a small piece of content.

In this way, the girl kept moving her body and arms as she fell, touching those fragments.

Some are just pure scenery.

But more people showed up.

All kinds of people, all kinds of words.

Numerous plots flashed through my mind in the form of lights and shadows, allowing the girl to gradually find her 'self'.

She remembered that her real name was 'Li Xing', but she preferred the nickname her mother gave her.

It represents the 'fetters' that she has accumulated from countless separations and encounters since she was born - A Yuan.

She is a destined child.

Even if they are destined to leave, they will definitely be able to rely on the fate they formed to find a chance to meet again.

She remembered her past experiences.

She was born in Li's family, and she was once a poor person who was manipulated by the "system".Later, she became the lord of the city, and later she got rid of the system and gained her own power.

She has been to many places.

I have met many, many things, and many, many people.

There are relatives, friends... and loved ones, she loves all of these from the bottom of her heart.

and so……

"So I don't want to become a god."

Whether it is a god or a fairy.

Whoever wants to go, anyway, she wants to live as a human being.

The feeling of falling suddenly disappeared.

Cracks appeared in the boundless darkness as if it had been hit hard.The traces of fragmentation continued to spread, and finally, the entire space could no longer be maintained, and it shattered along the cracks, ushering in the light.

"Miss Yuan!"

"Miss Yuan!?"

Before he could see clearly, he heard several worried cries from his ears.

Ah Yuan blinked.

"what happened?"

She felt dizzy and a little dazed.

And I don't know why, I always feel my legs are so sore...

It's like jumping in place repeated many times.

"Miss Yuan? Is it really Miss Yuan?"

Youni leaned in front of her with an anxious expression on his face.

"Who else can I be?"

A Yuan chuckled.

"Great, it's really Miss Yuan."

Youni was overjoyed, and stroked his chest with a long sigh of relief.

Instead, A Yuan sat up and looked around for a while, a little confused.

"Where are we?"

How bright is it around?

It's like coming to a light bulb room, from the floor to the ceiling... where the ceiling should be, everything is shining brightly.

However, Ah Yuan's question only attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing that the eyes of all the sober people were on him, A Yuan hesitantly raised his finger and pointed at himself.

"I made it?"

How about not?

"So, not long after we got to the yard and was attacked, a man with a gun attacked us? Then came out an old man whom he called the leader?"

A Yuan simply repeated what he didn't know.

Her own memory was still of them rushing and Giotto throwing him flying.

It's not clear after that.

Although I knew what I had experienced in a trance, when I recalled the content, I couldn't remember it.

"After chasing in, I asked Giotto to unscrew the mask and throw it on the ground and crush it?"

"That's about it." Tsunayoshi Sawada hesitated for a moment or nodded.

In fact, there are plots in which she mocked and specially insulted and angered the mask, but considering that the mask is gone, these don't seem to matter much.

Let's not talk about it.

However, even if there were only these, A Yuan was momentarily at a loss for words: "..."

"Sorry, you may have been implicated by me."

She apologized with a sigh.

"That person is... it should be said to be something parasitic on me."

"Is it a supernatural power?" Oda Sakunosuke asked.

The performance of supernatural abilities is all kinds of strange, and it is not surprising to have a "personality".

"No... um, let's just think of it as a bunch of divine power thrown on the brave by the gods as a trump card. Certain special circumstances will make her difficult to control."

Like before.

Perhaps because of the influence of the 'believer' and the 'ceremony', A Yuan didn't even notice that she popped up and took her place.

Now that I think about it, my back is still covered in cold sweat.

She was too careless, thinking that leaving Huiye City would be fine.

But I forgot that for an arrogant existence like a 'god', what is more unacceptable than being locked up is encountering a 'fake'.

And here is a ceremony and a fake, not to mention that the 'fake' here is not only fake, but there are so many people who believe in it and hold a ceremony for it.

How can He, who is obviously a real god but locked up because he keeps refusing, bear it?Doesn't this make him so stimulated that he doesn't care about his body, regardless of whether 21 is the first number.

Yes, in Ah Yuan's view, His action this time is not so much a replacement, but rather a... annoyed by being out of breath.

It's as if your tenant is playing games and she is so angry that she pushes you aside and teaches you what it means to play games.

"Are there really gods in the world?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi said in surprise.

"Of course not." The girl who had just mentioned divine power vetoed it, "Ah, at least it doesn't exist now. Whether it existed in ancient times is another matter."

"From the time when human beings rely on their own strength to move towards the future, there are no gods in the world."

There is no soil for the birth of gods in the world, and human beings no longer need gods to point out the maze and direction.

"So this mask..."

"It's a fake." A Yuan affirmed, "And it's the kind of fake that can't be faked anymore. It doesn't count as a high imitation."

If the gods are "perfume", then this mask...at best, it's slightly wet.

That's it.

At best, it can only be said to be a coincidence... and evil from human beings themselves.

"Then how do we get out?"

Oda Sakunosuke looked at the sleeping children beside him.

When the darkness came earlier, Sawada Tsunayoshi and Youni teamed up to surround the children with flames. In order to prevent them from having bad experiences, they simply let them fall asleep.

At present, everyone's condition is not bad, but they can't always be here.

Although the light is more reassuring than the dark, but everything is too much, too bright will make people feel uncomfortable.

"Ah, I'll just turn it off."

A Yuan smiled and stood up, this is the domain she created.

Just turn it off manually.

however……

5 minute later.

"Miss Yuan, are you really okay?"

"It's okay! I'm just not very skilled yet, just wait until I find the node!"

15 minute later.

"Miss Yuan?"

"Don't make noise! ​​Hurry up, we'll find it soon!"

Damn it, how is this divine power used? Shouldn't it be eliminated with a turn of her mind?

It's always like this when she uses the sky feather robe.

25 minute later.

"Don't rush! This time it's really coming soon!"

Four 10 minutes later.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they finally stood again on the... wreckage of the room where the mask was.

To be honest, they really thought that Ms. Yuan was going to be overturned by the existence who just got on the number...ah, it wasn't the upper body.

A Yuan also let out a long sigh of relief, and then wiped off his sweat.

She cleared her throat: "I'm unskilled this time...it will be fine next time!"

other people:"……"

Why do you still want to have a next time?
