This world is terrible

"..."

Listening to the girl's self-sacrificing lines, Song Lao Hu opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

What else can he say at this time?

run?
In the face of a natural disaster, how can a frail girl escape the pursuit of her "lover"?

The efforts of others to save her at the cost of their own lives were like moths to a flame. They were powerless to change the current situation and only prolonged the painful process. In the end, the girl was left alone, facing her fate in despair...

Should I follow her wishes, or try my best to fight for that tiny chance of survival?
Compared with the choice of the weak, on the other side, the "lover" who dominates the situation is much more "open-minded".

Almost as soon as Gao Yiyi appeared, he stopped his plan to take action and looked at the girl's face with a considering look.

"Not bad, not bad... No, I should say it's perfect."

This man, who always looked superior and regarded all living beings as insects, was now like a connoisseur. His eyes moved over Gao Yiyi's eyebrows and his expression changed from consideration to joy, and then from joy to ecstasy, until he seemed to witness the birth of "Genesis" on the dome at the moment of Ravan's revival, and his body was almost trembling.

In joy, the "lover" is no longer in a hurry.

He showed the excitement of ordinary people when they get a "gift". He said word by word: "You are indeed...more beautiful than in the photos that are circulating, so beautiful that even I can't bear it."

"But don't worry, you won't disappear."

The "lover" looked at Gao Yiyi's frightened expression and began to press on step by step, saying softly: "You will become a part of perfection and become the eternal life of this world, forever, forever..."

"Do it!"

Song Lao Hu, who had been unable to make a decision, now felt a surge of blood rushing to his forehead. He could no longer suppress the tiger in his chest. He let out a loud shout and rushed forward.

Damn it, I can’t stand it, this statement is too perverted!

boom!
A muffled sound was heard, and a black shadow passed in front of Song Lao Hu. He looked closely and found that it was his "lover"?
!

Which colleague is so brave that he could knock this guy down in just one encounter?
He stopped and looked around with shock on his face, only to meet the same gazes from several other people.

Not them?

A few old brothers shifted their attention and followed the path of the "lover" being beaten and finally saw the "culprit".

——Gao Yiyi!

The girl was seen throwing a punch and was slowly retracting it.

Song Lao Hu had sharp eyes and could even see two small pits covered with spider webs under the girl's feet.

"My Luo Tianyi..."

This, this, this, this!
Several people looked at each other, but all fell silent.

It’s not that the scene in front of me is too unbelievable, but that this is too outrageous even if it is just a dream.

The next sentence of The Girl Next Door Has Grow Up is...what's that?

Strength that can move mountains and courage that can conquer the world?
At this time, Gao Yiyi, no, it should be said that Gao Yi, who had been rushing here without stopping since landing, was the first to break the silence.

"Does it hurt?"

He looked at his "lover" who was kneeling on one knee, and his tone was the same enthusiasm as when the latter saw "Gao Yiyi": "For countless days and nights, I can always remember that rain, that "city in the rain", and the girls I met in the rain..."

"Some of them are naive, some are strong, some are unwilling to give in to difficulties, and some, even if they have sunk into endless darkness, still want to become a beacon to illuminate others."

Gao Yi's face was solemn: "But this is not worth singing about."

"Because this is a tragedy, a murder, a carnivore, a group of vampires, who led the tragedy for their own selfish desires." "I want to tell you, what I want to tell you is-"

Gao Yiyi's hair was flying, and her face was full of solemnity: "Pygmalion, I finally... waited for you."

"Who is 'Pygmalion' referring to? 'Lovers'?"

The few people who had been ready to die not long ago now looked like "spectators". When they heard the name "Pygmalion", their brains started working rapidly.

But even though they searched through all the files they had handled, they still had no impression of the name "Pygmalion", or the code name. Finally, Song Lao Hu, who had some extracurricular reading experience, explained:
"Pygmalion should refer to the king of Cyprus in Greek mythology."

"He was a skilled sculptor, but he was determined never to marry because he didn't like the mortal women of Cyprus."

"But what does this have to do with 'lovers'?"

"..."

Facing the question from his colleagues, Song Lao Hu did not answer, but continued the story in his mind:
Until one day, Pygmalion sculpted an extremely perfect ivory statue of a girl and fell in love with it. He named it Galatea. From then on, he dressed Galatea in a gold and purple robe, hugged it and kissed it every day.

but.

It remains only a statue.

In order to make Galatea his real wife, Pygmalion prayed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to give life to the statue.

Finally, the goddess of love Aphrodite was moved by him and fulfilled his wish.

The focus of the story is not the trivial matter of the otaku's wife finally becoming his wife, but the need to combine it with reality and uncover the mystery hidden in it through the identity of "Gao Yiyi".

Song Lao Hu remembers "City in the Rain".

That was an incident that former Director Tao Zhengxun paid special attention to, and he still remembers it clearly.

The girls that Gao Yiyi mentioned should be the victims of the "City in the Rain". Some of the victims had body parts missing. Combining what the "lover" said with Gao Yiyi's words, a guess that made Song Lao Hu sweat suddenly appeared in his mind.

...this devil.

If it were to be told to others, not only him, but everyone present would probably die!
"Lovers"...will definitely hunt them down to the ends of the earth.

Yes, speaking of "lover", what happened to him? !

Song Lao Hu thought of his "lover" and hurriedly looked towards the figure kneeling on one knee.

At the same time, Gao Yiyi's voice continued to sound: "Just now, your defenseless heart meridian has been shattered by me. Even if you are the holder of the original skills and one of the eight seats who are high above, in the face of death, you are still equal to the lives you devoured."

thump.

Gao Yi stopped talking and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Interesting... I clearly heard the sound of this guy's heart breaking just now, but I didn't expect that it has only been such a short time and his heart has resumed beating?

Is it the ability of [Lover]?
The Lovers is the sixth card of the Major Arcana, which explains not only love, but also all relationships between people.

So what will his abilities be?
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
In a flash, before Gao Yi could make the next move, the heartbeat he captured had returned to normal, and in his field of vision, the figure of his "lover" finally moved!

"It's good to be resurrected."

[Mirage Dragon] Gao Yi raised his hand, and a cloud of mist immediately blocked the sight of the people around him, forming an independent battlefield.

"It's a good opportunity for me to see what the difference is between you and the 'power' in Paradise Lost." (End of this chapter)
