The sky is gloomy, and the light rain has been going on for too long.

Shrouded in countless drizzles of continuous rain, even the scenery in front of me is hazy and blurred into an ink painting scroll with a profound artistic conception.However, in this darkness that stretches from heaven to earth, there is a person holding an umbrella and walking up the winding stone path.

The distance is getting closer, closer and closer——

From the body shape, it is easy to tell that the other party is a man, wearing a black formal suit with no bright spots, but the golden hair is so dazzling that it seems to tear through the endless hazy sky, and once again let the bright sunshine Scattered every piece of land in the world.

Even though... this is a gloomy and cold cemetery.

He walked extremely slowly, with sloppy steps, and seemed to be in a bad state of mind.

——That's right, how many people who come here can still guarantee their physical and mental pleasure?

Finally, they stopped in front of a grave.

The drizzle hit the still new tombstone, he bent down and stretched out his hand, and the umbrella propped up a small world there, while the exposed self was wet by the rain.He himself didn't care at all, instead he just squatted down and carefully arranged the daisies he brought.

The raindrops converged and slid down the graceful lines of the face.He raised his head, his amber eyes, which were slightly covered by the hanging hair, were indescribably deep, even though they were filled with terrifying bloodshot eyes—so gentle and warm that they seemed to be able to contain the world, but at the same time, they were so sad that they wanted to To clamor to destroy everything... These two emotions were perfectly integrated in his eyes.

Icy fingers stuck to an even colder tombstone, and gently brushed along the black and white photo. The pale and trembling corners of the mouth evoked a dull and false arc, which could not be called a smile at all.He stroked the face of the person in the photo back and forth, and opened his mouth tenderly.

"...Xun-chan."

Looking for sauce.

Looking for sauce.

Looking for sauce.

Looking for sauce.

……

Find the sauce, the sauce, the sauce, the sauce, the sauce, the sauce, the sauce, the sauce, the sauce, the sauce, the sauce, the sauce, the sauce, the sauce, the sauce…

……

The umbrella was thrown aside, he knelt down on his knees, and put his whole face close to the person in the photo, not caring that the rough granite surface would hurt himself, and then wrapped his hands around it, forming a hugging posture.

In the black-and-white photo, the young man had an unchanging and warm smile on his face, as if it could warm everything, but that smile disappeared at the moment, and turned into a pale black-and-white photo. The man staring at him finally couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and the tears mixed with the rainwater meandered down his face.

How could it be possible to laugh?

How could it be possible to be in a happy mood?

How could it be possible not to feel sad?

……

——He is now, but he is so sad that his heart is about to stop.

It seemed that countless sharp claws were tearing at the softest organ in his body, and the protective capillaries on the outer layer were torn off abruptly and burst... This is far from over, because immediately, those bloody and bloody organs that were scratched The blood vessels will be connected together again, and the residues that have not been cleaned up in the future will also be mixed together and reorganized, and then when they are about to heal, they will be severely torn again!

So, repeated, repeated, never-ending... torture.

[Stop it quickly, that nasty, ugly, steady...heartbeat sound—stop it when I think about my pain and I can't breathe.Because of this... I can go to see him with the deepest love for Xunjiang. ]

[—It doesn’t matter if you go to an unreachable heaven or a cold and dark hell.I want to be with him; I just want to be with him; I want to be with him right away... My Xunjiang. ]

——Even a person with a strong will will completely collapse after experiencing such a thing, right?

[When I didn't have time to say the word "like" to you; when I finally admitted my feelings for you frankly and wanted to express it; when I just planned to make the relationship between the two of us stronger When you take a step closer... Xun Jiang, you actually died for someone else first, for someone else... died? ]

[I remember that scene, I still remember it clearly until now.Because it will be repeatedly shown in my brain countless times every day.The last look of Xunjiang... I will never forget it in my life. ]

Xun Jiang's body was thrown high up, flipping gracefully like a flying butterfly, but the butterfly was finally knocked down to the ground severely, and the broken wings died the moment it landed. announced the death of its master.

[At that time, I was looking at you from the other side of the street, looking at you without blinking. ]

Xun Jiang who fell on the ground, Xun Jiang who couldn't get up, bloody Xun Jiang, blood-stained Xun Jiang, Xun Jiang who closed his eyes tightly, Xun Jiang who was about to lose his breath...

[——My Xunjiang is not like this! ! ! ]

My Xunjiang will read quietly by the window in the library, her side face illuminated by sunlight is as beautiful as a picture scroll; my Xunjiang will lean side by side with me, turn around and listen to me with a gentle expression It can melt everything; my Xunjiang will smile and say "it's okay" to the students who come to care when my body is in unbearable pain; my Xunchan...my Xunchan should be when I look back The one who will smile at me tenderly at any time, is right, should be like that, my Xunjiang, my Xunchan...

[However, Xun Jiang, who I used to be so alive, is now buried in the cold and dark underground. ]

[And I will never see his smile again. ]

[——That is indeed my Xunjiang. ]

My Xunjiang died just like that.

My Xunjiang died just like that for someone else.

My Xunjiang died in front of me and for others.

My Xunjiang, when I realized that I liked him, died in front of me and for others.

[——I can only watch with my eyes, and can't do anything else. ]

Kise Ryota just watched Shiina Lu Xun die without doing anything.

Such an incompetent, cowardly, timid, and useless Kise Ryota has done nothing and can't do anything.Except for... meaningless, heart-wrenching screams and wails.

[——You are such a useless piece of trash, Kise Ryota! ]

Just left for a while, and this irreversible thing happened.

——If I hadn't left at that time; didn't do those meaningless things; didn't complacently imagine what kind of expression Xunjiang would show when he got the ice cream I "specially" bought for him...things, right? Will it be different?

It doesn't matter anymore.

It's too late.

Because time...it can never go back.

[—Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry, it's all my fault, it's all... my fault. ]

In the rain all over the sky, the blond man hugged the cold tombstone desperately.His embrace was so fierce and forceful, the insufficiently fine granite cut his exposed skin, and the oozing red blood was quickly washed away by the rain.

But those remorse, grief, nostalgia, love, and fiery emotions can't be washed away anyway.

The man kneeling on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, he lowered his head, like an apostle on a pilgrimage, carefully sticking the corners of his cold and pale lips to the black and white photo, lingering on the face of the person who had kissed there every corner.

"I love you, Xunjiang."

The words that had been lingering in my heart for a long time were finally uttered.Kise kissed the lips of the boy in the photo again, and in a hoarse and softer voice, recited the eternal oath.

"I love you, Xunjiang."

I love you, Xunjiang.

I love you, Xunjiang.

I love you, Xunjiang.

……

I love you, love you so much, love you deeply.

……

[I love you so much, Xunjiang. ]

[No one in the whole world will love you more than me, Xunjiang. ]

[So... stop losing sight of others.Look back at me, just look at me, keep looking at me...]

"—Just look at me, Xunjiang...is that okay?"

Huang Lai raised her head to meet the eyes of the boy in the photo.Just as he thought, at this moment, the dark eyes of that young man really can only hold him alone, full of him.

With an innocent and bright smile on his face, Kise said in a sweet voice: "I knew that Xunjiang would not refuse." He lowered his wet head and gently leaned on the tombstone again, covering the photo of the boy , "Then... let's make an appointment like this."

"I'm going to stay here, and I'll always be here."

"As for my Xunjiang, just looking at me like this is enough."

"We... made an agreement."

The continuous drizzle filled the entire sky, covering everything like a huge net.

Afterwards, even though her legs and feet were numb, Se did not change her position.His lips, which are getting lighter and lighter in color, open and close from time to time, rambling and endlessly recalling the interesting things in the past to the boy in the grave, even he himself would not recognize the funny parts He chuckled softly, but the boy never leaned over and looked up to give him a reassuring gentle smile.

But at this moment, Kise was in a rare peaceful mood.

From the moment Shiina Lu Xun was sentenced to death, he has never closed his eyes again. As long as he closes his eyes, countless bloody and cruel pictures will invade his brain—subconsciously, he refuses to accept everything related to "he is dead" up" information.

Until today, I can finally face it calmly.

like him.

I love him, I love him, I love him.

I like it so much that I can give up on myself.

I love him.

Love love love love love love love him.

I love him enough to be with him even if I abandon the whole world.

[—Even if Xunjiang is dead, he can’t escape. ]

[——We want to be together forever and ever and forever. ]

The last twilight of the morning light was replaced by the dim night, and the tranced Kise, who hadn't closed his eyes for three days, finally closed for the first time those eyes that were still deep and eye-catching even though they were full of blood.

"Wait for me for a while, Xunjiang."

The weak voice was almost drowned in the sound of Xisuo's rain: "Open your eyes again, and you should be able to see you."

[...You can see my lovely, gentle, beautiful, perfect, intelligent, kind, and favorite Xunjiang. ]

The boy with black hair and dark eyes is sitting at the third position from the window on the left side of the entrance of the library. The sun is gradually setting at four o'clock in the afternoon. The quiet orange sunlight pours in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, delicate and gentle. Dyeing the young man's jet-black hair with a layer of warm light, the beauty of the picture made people feel slightly swollen, but he himself didn't know it, and he was still concentrating on flipping through the slightly heavy book in his hand with his head down and his eyes down.

You called his name, he raised his head in response, and then showed a beautiful smile that you are all too familiar with, his voice is as warm and warm as the smile, and the whole person is warmed by the afterglow, and then he said to you.

"—It's a bit early today, Ryota."

But in fact, Kise who fell into a coma did not hear the voice that he was thinking about going crazy, nor did he see that comfortable smiling face, Shiina Luxun did not appear in his dream at all.

In the empty room, Kise got up from the ground, all the tiredness in his body and brain disappeared.The doubts in his heart made his movements appear very slow, and then a pair of legs appeared in front of him.

His gaze climbed all the way up, and now in front of him was a seven or eight-year-old boy.

"You're going to die soon."

The boy spoke in a childish voice that did not match his age.

——That heart of yours has rotted little by little from the innermost part.

Huang Lai's eyes only paused on him for a second, and then moved elsewhere.

The boy didn't seem to mind being ignored like this, and continued to say to himself: "I can let you live, of course there are conditions."

Huang Lai stared at him with the tips of her eyes, her expression extremely arrogant.

--Who is this guy?Why did it suddenly appear here?In the end what happened?Why did you say something inexplicable at the beginning? ... So annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying!He obviously only wanted to be with Xun Jiang, and only wanted to be with that person.

The other party was not angry, but showed a naive and romantic smile: "I need a companion, we need to go to many worlds to make up for the established deviation of that world, until it is pulled back to the original track." The boy pouted, "I I know it's boring, but there's no way this is work."

"why me?"

"Because you're dying, they say dying people are easier to control."

"I reject."

"Ah—that's such a pity." The boy's voice could not hear the slightest pity. The originally empty room suddenly turned into a fully furnished room. The boy sat on the bed and shook his legs slightly.With his hands on his chin, he blinked his eyes and looked in the direction of Kise, but the focus was not in the red eyes, "You don't really want to see that...it seems to be called 'Xunjiang'...it's a childish name. I Said... If you agree and obey, I can let you meet, after all, he just died in this world, and there are countless "Xunjiang" that you love so much are alive and well in other worlds."

"Hey~" The boy smiled and showed his sharp canine teeth, and looked at Huang Lai with a bit of slyness in his eyes, "Why don't you think about it?"

"Can I see him?"

Hearing the unconcealable trill in Kise's voice, the boy nodded triumphantly: "Of course, after all, I am..."

"I want to see him!"

"But..." Frowning in embarrassment, the boy's expression looked both distressed and cute.

"Sure enough..." Kise changed his previous urgency, and squinted at the boy who was much shorter than him, "You are lying. This level of lying is too unqualified, and I can't even convince myself... ..."

"You—!" Accused of lying, the boy's face quickly flushed red with embarrassment. He jumped off the bed and pointed at the tip of Huang Lai's nose, "Okay, just look! I don't need to lie."

The young, restless little boy immediately fell into the trap.

He probed his neck with his hand, and there was a strung key in the empty place out of thin air. Only then did the corners of Kise's mouth, which had been keeping a mocking curve, change a little.

Afterwards, the boy walked to the door, stood on tiptoe and inserted the key with some difficulty, and the door handle was turned open.

The doorway is not a brilliant light, just like opening an ordinary door, but when the door is opened halfway, the scene revealed shocked Kise——

The black-haired, black-eyed, gentle boy who was facing him was sitting in a corner, and the blond-haired boy who was walking towards the corner with his back facing him, that person... was "himself"!

Kise couldn't help reaching out to touch it, but the door closed first.

The boy stood in front of the door, very satisfied with Kise's surprised expression: "Now you should believe it."

"——What's going on?" Kise's voice was full of depression.

Even though he had tried his best to suppress it, when the picture that had been reviewed countless times in his brain was clearly presented in front of him again, the great sense of joy and shock still overwhelmed him and he was almost out of breath.

"It's this key and this door." The boy shook the key and pointed to the door. After seeing this miraculous scene, he seemed confident that Huang Lai would choose to be his partner in the future, so he told Huang Lai Seto confessed without reservation.

"As long as you have these two things, you can reach any place according to the mind of the key holder-this is the ability to travel through time and space I told you before, time, space...all of these can be reversed. There are countless similar keys in this world. The existence of the world, some are running smoothly, and some are already collapsed and precarious. My job with you is to find the roots of those unqualified worlds, and pull them out to restore them to their original appearance. But I am only responsible for assisting The real trouble is you, the world is already chaotic enough, of course, no new things will be allowed, so you need to occupy other people's bodies to facilitate your actions in that world... Let me put it this way , can you understand?"

Kise's head was drooping, his eyes were covered by the too long hair on his forehead, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing that he didn't respond, the boy ran over and kicked his calf, raised his voice and said, "Hey! Did you hear that?" Then he lowered his voice slightly and muttered, "It's not so unlucky to choose a fool! , obviously looks very smart..."

Suddenly, Kise possessed himself and pressed his palm on the boy's slender shoulders, not lightly: "The key, the door, and occupying someone else's body, these are the only three things... isn't it?"

The amber eyes are deep into a dark and deep color, and when they stare intently at someone, they look like wild animals hunting.The boy obviously felt that his whole aura had changed, and his body couldn't help but want to back up, but Kise grabbed his wrist first.

"Really?" Kise's voice became deeper and deeper, but his hand kept snatching away the key that the boy hadn't recovered.

"You—!" The gap in strength between the two made the boy watch Huang Lai take the key from him, he stomped his feet angrily, jumped up to snatch it, "Give it back to me! Hurry up and give it back to me! "

Kise blocked his struggle with only one hand, and his greedy eyes never moved away from the key: "Now it's mine."

"You—!" The boy was very angry, but he couldn't do anything, he could only stare at Kise with wide red eyes.

Kise glanced at him one last time, and the dark and dangerous look in his eyes silenced the latter quickly.

"—It is, of, of me." He mouthed.

His face was extremely serene, and the movements of his limbs were not slow or even graceful, but when he finally completed the step of overlapping the lock and key, Kise's fingers began to tremble uncontrollably because of the trembling excitement.

[If everything can be restarted, if everything can be returned to the original starting point, if he is given one more chance...]

During the whole process, Kise held his breath nervously, until he heard a "click" before he let out a long breath.

[—I want to go back to the time when I first met him. ]

Kise said so to herself in her heart.

"You're really selfish and vicious." The little boy who was originally delicate in appearance now gave Kise the most mocking eyes.

Huang Lai stopped before he was about to take a step, he raised the corners of his mouth, and a bright and sunny smile immediately appeared: "That's the kind of person I am. But...you won't understand my feelings." Huang Lai said frankly Terrible.

[——I am such a mean and selfish person, because that person changed me into this look. ]

At first, when I heard that I could see that person again, what I thought in my heart was "No matter what the price is, I just have to see Xunjiang again with my own eyes, just once."But the moment I really saw it, I found that my greed and desire for that person had already penetrated into my bones.

——Just seeing him once would not be enough to satisfy the current him no matter what.Want to look at that person more and more, listen to that person more and more, touch that person more and more, hug that person more and more, possess that person more and more People... until, until he was tainted with the smell of "Kise Ryota" inside and out, until he completely belonged to "Kise Ryota".

[——Belongs to "Kise Ryota", only belongs to "Kise Ryota"... Xunchan. ]

That greed continuously emerged from his body, occupying his whole brain and thinking.

— must get that key!Whether it's cheating, stealing, or robbing... Even if he wants to kill innocent people, he must get this key!Because this is his only chance to be with the person he likes.

Simply, the matter did not turn into that uncontrollable situation in the end.

Huang Lai had already stepped into the door, and the smile on his face was even brighter.

[——Li Xunjiang has entered a little bit more, it's really great. ]

"By the way," as if suddenly thinking of something, Kise turned around and tilted his head to one side. He finally added in a cute and sweet voice, "I should thank you, but I'm sorry..." Narrowing his eyes, his eyes finally fell on the boy's soft and fine white hair, his voice lowered, "I really hate your appearance—very, very much."

Until Kise's figure completely disappeared from this room, the little boy didn't say another word.Then, he slowly padded his feet, raised his head, and stared blankly at the unknown front.

"I don't like it either—" the immature voice was full of grievances, but in the next second her delicate eyebrows curved into smiling arcs, "but it doesn't matter, because PAPA likes it, as long as PAPA likes it, it doesn't matter if I bear it a little bit oh."

The tearing of the corners of his mouth intensified until he let out a crisp, "giggle" laugh.

"How could it be possible that you don't understand?" He suddenly opened his hands vigorously to both sides, posing in an exaggerated, hugging pose. At this time, the child with white hair and red pupils was completely without the slightest innocence just now. He raised his voice with A screaming voice yelled, "I like PAPA! I like PAPA the most! I like PAPA the most! I like PAPA the most!!!"

Then he withdrew his hand again, with white, tender and round fingertips resting on his chin, self-reflecting in confusion: "Oh—why didn't you refute at that time? That person will never give up at first glance, if he behaved a little stronger If you don't give him the key...he will definitely snatch it, and maybe kill me in the end..."

"That's so good..." He sighed regretfully, "I messed up my body, although it hurts a bit, but PAPA will definitely come to help me fix it. I haven't seen PAPA for a long time, why doesn't PAPA Appeared? Is it because I didn’t obediently obey? Then I waited obediently, patiently, quietly, obediently, and obediently...waiting for PAPA to come back and hold my hand...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh PAPA, I really miss you!!! So..."

——So, be sure to come back quickly.

——I am waiting for you, I have been waiting for you... PAPA.
