Presenting nesting dolls to the beautiful world

Although it is said that they are 'closer' to Mount Yaori, the target of everyone is actually tens of kilometers away from the 'base' under Mount Yaori.

When they arrived in front of a hidden cave, the sun was already at noon.Andre the Headless Horseman had to try his best to walk in the shadows to avoid direct sunlight - it can be seen that although he is different from most undead who must avoid all sunlight, he will also be restrained by the daytime environment.

Even though the fact that "Kessel Pod was able to place his base so close to Yaori Mountain and nothing happened" proved that he still has strong judgment, but if he can only make Andre so unsuitable for Japan People who move in between come to spread the word...

His current situation must not be optimistic.

The players looked at each other and looked at 'Xiu' again.

At this moment, 'Xiu' was looking at the dark cave in a daze: "..."

A moment later, he took 'Karen' and floated in first.

……

To be honest, although 'Xiu' behaved like this, Lei Zhe's main focus at the moment was not actually here.

Right now, the consciousness controlling 'Xiu' is just an incarnation of his differentiation.

Now, his main consciousness...

In 'Pale Eternity'.

………………

…………

……

If he hadn't experienced it soberly in such a way, Lei Zhe would never have imagined that the description of 'sunken pale and eternal' is actually a realistic literature.

That's right, a soul, a consciousness, a life, its process of stepping into pale eternity is like a gentle and long drowning...

Death is a fleeting vision, so trancelike, that all the sufferings of the world are gone--it is.This is how he feels.

……

At the very beginning, he only felt that the consciousness of the incarnation of 'Karen' had changed.So he sank his attention into the spiritual world of 'Karen', but he was not very surprised to find that his soul was being submerged by a naturally generated white mist...

A premonition of near death beckoned him.There is a feeling in the dark to let him know that it is the invitation card of 'Pale Eternity', which is looking forward to his return.

But at that time, he was still playing the role of 'Karen Onsis' to fight against the resurrected, so naturally he couldn't leave at will...

Therefore, during the entire battle, Lei Zhe's main consciousness was almost engaged in a tug-of-war with this power from the world's rules. Those things were done in a semi-independent state.

——Within his ability, Lei Zhe welcomes unexpected surprises, but he can't let things related to him really get out of control.

This may be due to his sense of responsibility, or it may be due to a strong... desire to control.

Theoretically, Lei Zhe can actually spend some crystal sand to separate these characters, and even the characters will naturally have a strong affection for him.

But he will not pin any hope on the illusory 'goodwill'.

He knows what kind of person he is, and he also knows that the core of these characters is his own color, and each of them may choose to betray him for a higher goal, just as he knows clearly, he will also stand for what he thinks betrayed himself for something 'more important'.

He was like this before time travel.

If he hadn't betrayed 'his own life' for what he believed to be a higher 'child's life', he would have nothing to do with the world of Tyne right now.

In a sense, Lei Zhe is actually a highly sober and rational person with a strong desire to control...

After all, not everyone can keep themselves in a state of armored sleep for more than ten years.

……

Then, based on this, Lei Zhe did not lose control of himself like a normal dead soul: In theory, "sinking into pale eternity" is a process of losing oneself.No matter what kind of person they are, as long as they don't have a strong enough obsession to support them, they will gradually forget everything and who they are in this vast and endless pale dead sea.

He didn't even need to use the power of the hourglass to be immune to this confusion from the rules of the world... He didn't even go through some logical self-torture process.

Reason told him that such a development must have its internal causes, but reality did not give him enough information to deduce the result.

However, this did not discourage Lei Zhe.

Breaking away from the shackles of the world and the flesh, he can recognize his own heart more clearly - when he realizes that this is an 'unknown challenge', a throbbing enthusiasm and a strong desire to fight emerge in the city like a noisy city. in his mind.

And when he raised his hand and saw himself sinking in the sea as 'Garon', his fighting spirit was further improved.

It doesn't feel like a nuisance...he's a guy who takes risks.From 'Garland' to 'Galen', the identity used by 'Lei Zhe', it is impossible to fight against injustice... stay out of it!

At this moment, he felt joy.

Because he knew what he would face next——

……

Lei Zhe felt that he had landed on a flat ground.

Surrounded by a vast expanse of white light and mist, it is like a fairyland of the dead country.

He could see that in the mist, there were fine white star light sources continuously falling from the zenith and blending into the geography.So he lowered his head, saw that the ground was a mirror, and saw his own reflection from there:

It was 'Garon' wearing a light black suit and gray-black light armor. On the outermost part of the costume was a neat black windbreaker. The bright flames dyed the mist around him a warm orange red.

A strange feeling filled my heart.Lei Zhe took a look at an 'eye' flying towards him dangling in the light mist, and chose to let it crash into his eyes along with the feeling, bringing memories belonging to 'Galen'.

"I know you like black, so only the innermost lining of this suit is red..." The woman with long silver hair lowered her head and straightened the skirts for him, while the hunter who never let anyone get close At this moment, he just raised his arms and let her treat him like a dress-up doll.

At this moment, he seemed so docile that he was even a little nervous, which made the silver-haired woman laugh.

"Really, it's as if I forbid you to speak. Karen, you have really changed a lot." The woman looked up with a smile, her delicate doll-like face was made lively by her expression, with pale silver eyes and He looked at each other, "It wasn't like this when you entered Sky City by yourself?"

"..." He sighed, "It's agreed not to mention that. Enxiu is still next door."

"Okay, okay—don't mention it, don't mention it—" The woman who looked like she was only in her early twenties waved her hand, completely indifferent.

After that, she drifted back a short distance, fell back to the ground, and looked him up and down.

"Hmm... not bad!" She nodded vigorously, "My skills are getting better and better-please praise me!"

Karen, who had been following her, squinted his eyes.He seemed to be smiling.

"Yes," he said, "you're getting better at your craft, Irene."

Irene gave a thumbs up in satisfaction, turned to the side table, arranged a few flowers on the table into the freshly washed vase, and said while going out to fill them with water: "How many days are you planning to stay when you come back this time?"

"..." Karen who followed to the door was silent.His vision was submerged in the sharp boundary between light and dark, but he kept staring at Irene beside the water tank by the door.

"Isn't it... not even a day?" Irene was stunned for a moment, "The group of people in Sky City and the resurrected bunny... cough, that grandson... No," she paused, seeing that the child For the sake of staying in the room, he swallowed the swear words he learned from who knows where, and said with that beautiful face, "...that scoundrel can run so well?"

"The Holy Kingdom is helping them," Karen said softly, looking into her eyes, "You know, even though they have fallen, their historical responsibilities still make them superior."

"If you cared about this, you wouldn't have killed the Yuren King and snatched me out just because you knew Sky City was 'violating the rules' back then..."

"...No malice, but Irene, it's obviously you..."

"Hush." ​​Irene laughed, putting a finger in front of Karen's lips.

He obviously saw the purpose and final result of her behavior from the first second she moved, so he didn't seem surprised by this.

"Stop talking!" She had a mischievous smile, and her tone of voice was tight -- "It's not good for children to hear!"

"..." Karen took a deep breath, and glanced sideways at the inner room lightly.

There was a small silver-haired head poking its head over there, trying to watch the conversation between parents, but was scared back into the room by his glance, and uttered: "Ah!"

"..."

Karen sighed helplessly.It seemed that he felt inexplicably tired because of the fact that his son was a fool.

Before he could speak again, Irene bullied him not to show those aggressive looks to those around him, and said calmly: "So, the great hunter, Mr. Onsis, is going out to hunt down the wicked and Are there traces of the evil god?"

She had a perfect and pleasing deliberate business-like smile on her face, but her tone of voice was completely different from it: "Or, dig hundreds of traps and wait to see which confident fool will take the bait?"

"'Confident fool'—" Karen smiled, "If you describe my prey that way, the Risen One will probably feel sad."

"Who cares about him... Wait, so he really fell for you again?"

"Huh? People like him always try to see if they can get what they want."

"I don't know what kind of impulsive and careless person he is..." Irene whispered with some doubts, "When he even looked at 'us' in the training cabin, he would carefully choose to cover his face."

"He had to come out of prudence," said Karen.

But he didn't say exactly why that was.And Erin didn't ask either.

She just whispered: "So, how long?"

"..."

"How long will it take before you can go back home and never leave again?" Irene asked softly, "Karen, you took us away from Barry, refused Garland Rosedale's help, and even concealed everything from him... Is it really worth it? Doesn't he feel distrusted?"

She said in a hoarse voice: "Of course, I know, it's to hide Enxiu and me, so that the ceremony in Sky City cannot find us. But... you know, I can't stay dormant in the mountains forever, and neither can Enxiu. We may never touch the sky, even though we are the same as the "creation" and "descendant of creation" with the modern feathered people, we are also a race that truly belongs to the sky."

"Just like when the blood drops on the 'marble ring' when I fought with you will give birth to a new life, I am different from the life that walks on the ground after all."

"We need flight and the sky."
