[Ya Ji] Babel

"This is... Chunxia entrusted me to give it to you." The woman in front of her had the beauty of a traditional Japanese woman, her long black hair was tied into a ponytail and tied behind her head, and she was a little more capable and cold.

This is the funeral club member who was entrusted by Yingman Chunxia to keep the genome.In her left hand, she held a password box for storing the genome, and in her right hand, she held an old notebook with the words "2022-2032" vaguely written on the cover.

"It's Dr. Sakuraman Kurosuke's diary." Cangzhi explained, and put the lockbox and notebook in front of Ji at the same time.

"Father's diary..." Ying Manji murmured softly as he lowered his head and pondered over the surface of the notebook.

Beside him were Ayase, Tsugumi and Alma.In the small room, the heavy atmosphere was oppressive.

Cang Zhi continued: "Chun Xia said, after you read this, you will know everything. The fourth book of apocalypse, and...the reason why Ya will do these things."

Ying Manji pursed his lips and nodded, picked up the notebook, and thanked Cang: "I see. Thank you for bringing these." After speaking, he got up and left the room.

The password box containing the genome was placed on the table, and the few people who were left in the room looked at each other silently.They also read the contents of the notes when Chun Xia was still there not long ago, but they still retained an unreal sense of illusion about what Ya was going to do.

The essence of the apocalypse virus, the evolution and elimination of human beings, etc., are just like things that only appear in novels.

In particular, about the side effects of the Void Genome.

Alma sighed, "It's so easy to use when watching the collection, I thought this thing is not bad at all. I didn't expect..."

As he spoke, he couldn't continue, and the expressions of the other people in the room sank.

Ayase looked at her immobile legs and squeezed her hands tightly, "Ya... has he been enduring the pain of the Void Genome?"

Thinking of the leader who had longed for and admired, Ayase closed her eyes sadly. "He is not a chosen one, so he will be corroded by the 'power of the king' and suffer from the apocalypse virus all day long..."

"That's what he did on his own." The soul hall Sa Tai murmured, which immediately attracted the angry eyes of everyone in the funeral home.

Thrush raised his eyebrows and bared his teeth, staring at the innocent young man who dragged the room full of hatred, and cursed fiercely: "You know what! If it weren't for him, the funeral home would never have appeared! At the beginning, how many people were born because of him?" Saved!"

"But he wants to kill everyone now! The fourth Apocalypse, to put it bluntly, isn't it the lost Christmas of globalization? Such a terrifying future, who wants it!" Soul Hall Sa Tai roared back unwilling to be outdone , There are still crystals of the third stage of the apocalypse virus on his face, looking at such a Sata, thrush choked.

There is nothing wrong with this statement.But the girl was still unconvinced and jumped, and the two scolded each other like this.

In the end, Sata was forced out by Tanihiro, and Tsugumi shut up under Ayase's reprimand.

"What kind of civil turmoil is happening at this time!" Alma rolled her eyes and said coldly.Cang Zhi, who watched everything silently, shook his head helplessly.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a while, Ayase turned the wheelchair and arrived at the table.She looked at the password box where the genome was placed, with a dark and worried expression, "Although the set was fine the first time I used it... But what about the second time."

Before Chunxia, ​​they didn't tell the funeral club about the collective nature, so naturally, everyone couldn't help but worry that the second use of the collection would be rejected by Genome.

"Then there is no other way." Cang Zhi sighed, the black-haired woman looked up at the people in the room, and said bitterly, "None of us have the courage to bear the pain."

Everyone was speechless.They angrily scolded Ji to escape, but they couldn't bear it by themselves.Human beings are always such selfish animals, hoping that someone can bear the sins instead of themselves.

And Ji Ji is the only salvation in their hearts.

"Being burdened with crimes, you must hold back your tears and move forward... the gentle king." Shinomiya Ayase couldn't help repeating what Xiaojo Matsuri had said to herself when she was in the academy, then opened the lockbox and looked at the inside void genome.

The black glass tube is wrapped in a spiral crystal that exudes beautiful lavender fluorescence, but such a beautiful thing may bring endless pain - the last... and the worst hope.

What an ironic reality.

Just like myself, without legs, but longing to fly.Ji him... must be more contradictory and sad than himself.

Thinking of this, Shinomiya Ayase suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt for the previous behavior of venting anger to Ji.

Even he himself is unwilling to really raise the gun and point the gun at Ya and pull the trigger, but selfishly asks him to do all of this.

Biting her lower lip, the chestnut-haired girl hung her head while holding the genome with a sore nose.Tsugumi could see clearly from the side. She was thoughtful, so she naturally understood the reason for Ayase's behavior, so she gently reached out and patted the girl's shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Outside the window, another dusk is coming.It's getting closer and closer to December 12th.

Unable to bear the depressing and cold atmosphere, Kusama Kanon shrugged her glasses and said in a low voice: "Since there was no rejection reaction for the first time, there should be antibodies in the body. No matter how you say it, the AP virus is just Virus, set him...it will be fine." Although it was a well-intentioned comforting word, everyone was immersed in guilt and anxiety, and no one responded.

It was Cang Zhi who spoke first, and changed the subject to adjust the depressed atmosphere, "Anyway, the matter has come to an end. We have no better way. The only thing that can be done is in Yingmanji-jun's Behind him, I will do my best to support him.”

"What about the armed forces? After Quarter was arrested, we have no one who can negotiate terms with Lieb's pack of wolves." Alma said distressedly, scratching her hair irritably.Hearing the big cloud here, Ayase and Tsugumi also frowned.

"Don't worry about this." Cang Zhi knocked on the table with one hand, and after attracting everyone's attention, he continued: "I have been ordered by the enshrined Yuan Weng to use all his assets and contacts to fight against Ya."

"The priest..." Ayase repeated in a low voice, and then remembered the blond girl who had met in the academy a few times, "Speaking of which, Arisa, the priest, is on Ya's side now. "

Cangzhi nodded, frowned, and some emotions called sadness appeared in his eyes, "The priest... was killed by his granddaughter, Miss Arisa of the temple."

This news made everyone who saw Arisa in the enshrining house widen their eyes in surprise, with an expression of disbelief.Especially Kanon, who has the best relationship with Arisa, her shoulders trembling and her arms tightly hugged, she kept shaking her head and refused to admit that the girl at that time had completely changed.

There was a moment of silence.After everyone digested the news, Cangzhi spoke again: "I have already contacted the forces of PMC and civilian military companies, and they promised to support the funeral home. In addition, the news came from the United Nations this morning that the plan to wipe out Japan was approved. GHQ Most of the mobility will be restrained by the United Nations forces, which is relatively beneficial to us."

When she said this, she paused for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "After all, what we, or Lord Yingmanji, want to do is not to defeat Ya, but to rescue Miss Qi and stop the Apocalypse."

Although part of the purpose of the United Nations is also to prevent the beginning of the Apocalypse, but to a greater extent, it wants to fundamentally eliminate the existence of Japan.It is impossible for Cangzhi, including everyone in the funeral home, to agree with such a thing.

In the beginning, they gathered together to form this organization to liberate Japan.How could it be possible to watch his motherland collapse.

"I hope everything goes well." Ayase said softly, and everyone responded with silent affirmation.

The room was quiet again, and everyone with complicated emotions was praying silently.Therefore, no one could notice the dark shadow that was gradually approaching from the dark place.

The twilight sun cast the last inch of dim orange, and the sky was gradually shrouded by the dark night, with a few fuzzy broken stars scattered on the sky.

Huo Jie looked ahead, and in his eyes was the excitement of a hunter who was sure of winning when he was hunting his prey.

"Come on, the funeral home is already a lamb waiting to be slaughtered." He gave an order to the communicator, and then walked in first with a gun.At the same time, two funeral home guards were shot and killed as they tried to raise the alarm.

Several GOCEs rushed in, aiming their large-caliber heavy guns at the people who were still in shock, and mercilessly pulled the trigger.

The sound caused by the harsh metal collision, mixed with the screams of human beings dying and the strong smell of blood spread.The artillery fire roared, and Huo Jie's right eye turned rapidly. He looked around one layer and murmured: "Not here."

Without the figure of Ying Manji, he is not here.

Then, Huo Jie raised his head, looked at the second floor, and showed an uncomfortable smile.Regardless of the GOCE massacre, he went straight to the elevator leading to the second floor.

The quiet atmosphere in the room was suddenly broken by hissing and explosions, Cang Zhi stood up with a drastic face change, and rushed out together with Dayun who was the first to react.Alma, who was a step behind, didn't care about anything else, and could only shout at the few people who were still in a daze: "There is an enemy attack! Thrush, quickly take Ayase to activate the mecha!! And you, don't be dazed Hurry up and find a place to hide!"

The last sentence was addressed to Kusama Kanon.After listening to Alma's words, Tsugumi and Ayase quickly moved into action, only the flustered girl followed at a loss, stammering, "Tani Hiroshi, Tani Hiromi, and Souta, there is still an episode. ?”

Alma opened the way ahead with a gun in hand, the sound of roaring explosions and burning flames covered everything.As a result, several other people were unable to hear the girl's question.

Surrounded by members of the funeral home running with guns, everyone's faces were full of panic and panic.After all, Kusama Kanon was just a 17-year-old ordinary high school girl not long ago, not as good as Alma and the others in terms of physical fitness. Not long after she left the house, she was pushed aside by a few funeral club members rushing out.

When she looked up again, Alma and the others could no longer be found.

"Gu Xun..." She bit her lower lip to suppress the fear in her heart, shrugged her shoulders, and ran in the direction where Alma and the others disappeared in her impression.

GOCE, who was wandering around on the first floor to clean up, waited for the members of the funeral agency to react and retreat to the second floor to take out their weapons to fight back, and went up to the second floor under the cover of ENDRAVE.

Alma was sweating profusely leaning against the wall, looking carefully at the turning point, "Not this way! Go to the other side, the front is blocked by two GOCEs!"

"Damn it, how did these GHQ bastards find this place!" Tsugumi pushed Ayase and cursed hastily.

Hearing Tsugumi's words, Ayase frowned and pursed her lips, tightening the Void Genome she was protecting in her arms when she left the room. "Join him, nothing will happen..."

After taking the notes, Ying Manji went out of the room alone, and now GHQ suddenly attacked, and no one had time to contact him to confirm whether it was safe.

Alma shot and killed an enemy who found them, took a breath, and comforted Ayase: "Reading Dad's diary is nothing more than going back to his room. His room is on the third floor. Currently It should be fine."

"But the problem is, there is also a direct elevator from the first floor to the third floor!"

"Sister Aya, it's useless to say it now, let Alma focus on opening the way." Tsugumi comforted the anxious Ayase, pushed the wheelchair, and followed Alma closely in front of her.

At this moment, a deep and slippery laugh came from behind them on the right.

"Well, here, I found the target~"

Alma turned around sharply and fired at the gun, but there was only a series of tinkling sounds. Among the scattered sparks, standing in front of the three was a GOCE and a young man with purple hair.

Boo Jie opened his mouth, looked at several people with a smile, and after scanning slowly, his eyes fixed on the black glass tube in Shinomiya Ayase's hand.

Alma and Thrush immediately stepped forward to block Huo Jie's sight, raised their guns vigilantly to face the opposite side, and the GOCE behind Huo Jie raised his gun not to be outdone.

The two sides confronted each other, and GOCE, which had received an order not to shoot, only maintained a deterrent posture, while Thrush and Alma also dared not attack casually due to the existence of GOCE.

The pungent smell of gunpowder spread around, and the condensed smell in the air was disgusting.

Huo Jie moved slightly at his feet, and asked with a smile: "Little girl, what are you holding in your hand?"

Although his gloomy sight was blocked by Alma and Tsugumi, the sense of oppression in his voice still really shrouded Shinomiya Ayase.

The chestnut-haired girl trembled, and the blood on her face faded a little, but the hand that clenched Genome became stronger.

Hush Jie waited for a while, but still did not get a response.He seemed to sigh regretfully, and slowly raised his gun.

It's a harbinger of attack—

"Alma!" Another unexpected gunshot suddenly sounded from the back of Huo Jie, and Cang Zhi's stern figure broke into this place without warning.Huo Jie reacted quickly to dodge the unexpected gunshot.

Alma, who heard Cangzhi's shout, rushed forward in cooperation, and at the same time, Dayun, who appeared with Cangzhi, entangled GOCE beside Huo Jie.

The huge mech was not good at dodging. Alma and Dayun aimed at the head of the mech and fired wildly at the same time. Before the driver shot and ran away, he had to forcibly escape because he could not bear the pain caused by the GOCE gene resonance.

The airframe without the driver turned off the engine and fell to the ground with a bang. With a tut, he turned over and dodged Kurachi's blow. He hid behind the GOCE armor and squinted his eyes in the direction of Shinomiya Ayase.

As expected, the girl did not give up on this opportunity, and followed thrush in the opposite direction.

"What a disappointing group of people. You." The purple-haired youth laughed back angrily, grinning and shouted suddenly: "If you kill me here, the safety of Yingman Chunxia and Sifenyi cannot be guaranteed." Oh~”

The news of Chun Xia and Si Fen Yi's death was kept extremely secret, and of course it was impossible for everyone in the funeral club to know.Hearing this, he immediately hesitated.

"Little girl over there, if you run away again, I will immediately order people to kill Yingman Chunxia and the others."

Shinomiya Ayase and Tsugumi had no choice but to stop, and turned angrily to stare at the direction from which the voice came.

Huo Jie knew the character of this group of people well, he smiled, put down his gun, swaggered out of the corner covered by the mecha, and looked at the few people in front of him who were full of resentment but couldn't shoot.

"Tell me, where is Ying Manji now."

No one answered, and Alma, Dayun, and Cangzhi formed a triangular formation surrounded by Huo Jie.

The purple-haired young man shrugged, stroked his forehead without any tension and sighed: "Aren't you answering? It seems that I should just kill him..."

"He's not here!" Ayase shouted hastily, which attracted the scrutiny of the world.Thrush stepped forward nervously to protect the girl behind him.

"Not...here?" Huo Jie repeated slowly, and then sneered. "Little girl, lying is not a good habit. If you dare to lie to me, you will have to pay a price."

A gleam of fear flashed in Ayase's eyes.

Boo Jie let out a low laugh, leisurely took out his phone, pressed the keyboard, and then turned the screen to everyone, "This is a punishment for lying children~"

On the screen, shockingly, it was the photo taken by Huo Jie after killing Chunxia and Quadrant.The two people who were tied to the chair by restraint belts were lifeless corpses.

"Ah..." Tsugumi was the first to open her eyes and cover her mouth tightly. She, who had the best eyesight among them, could see the picture on the screen clearly at a glance. "Chun, Chun Xia's mother... and Xiao Sifen!"

"You bastard!!!!" Alma roared, and was about to shoot and kill the disgusting young man in front of him. However, before he finished speaking, Boo Jie suddenly raised his hand to surpass human beings. With the ultimate speed, he aimed at Okumo standing in front of him and pulled the trigger, then bent down and rushed towards Ayase like lightning, and shot Cangzhi with another shot while running.

"Damn it!!" Alma didn't have time to see how Dayun and Cang Zhi were doing, Alma immediately fired at Huojie, and the bullets left a lot of bullet marks along the young man's running route.As for Huo Jie, he was still laughing wildly. "Little girl, give me what you have - the third Void Genome!"

Ayase's pupils shrank, and the black glass tube in her hand was soaked in sweat.Seeing that Huo Jie is about to rush in front of him, thrush must not be able to stop it, so in this case...

The girl calmly analyzed the situation, her eyes touched the escalator at the side, and at the critical moment, she suddenly threw the genome in her hand to the first floor, then pressed the wheelchair with both hands, propped up her waist, and struggled towards the escalator one meter away. Leap.

"Miss Aya!" Tsugumi shouted in surprise, and the moment Shinomiya Ayase touched the handrail of the escalator, she slid quickly to the first floor along the inclined arc of the elevator.

"There are really two tricks!" Huo Jie gritted his teeth, and then wanted to jump down from the second floor, but Ayase's actions had already bought time for Alma. Cooperating with Thrush, the two attacked the purple-haired youth at the same time, leaving him temporarily unable to do anything. Take care of other things.

Ayase, who fell to the first floor, endured the pain in her body, and tried her best to reach out to reach the Void Genome in front of her, but her paralyzed legs, even this distance is like a thousand miles, no matter how hard she tried, she was always short a little.

"Damn it...!" Ayase hammered the ground angrily, and turned her head to look at the second floor.

The battle there is going on intensely. As members of the funeral club, Alma and Thrush are considered to be the best, but as their opponent - a professional soldier, they are still far behind.Dayun was hit directly at the vital point just now, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, while Cang Zhi was injured not at the vital point, but it was his leg that seriously affected his mobility.Even if Cangzhi, Alma, and Tsugumi attacked from three sides, Huo Jie, who had exerted his full strength, quickly regained control of the situation.

The counterattack of the funeral home is getting weaker and weaker. GHQ with the support of GOCE and ENDRAVE is attacking fiercely. In order to reduce the possibility of being discovered, the funeral home, which stores all heavy weapons in other places, is naturally unable to resist. On the first floor, except for Ayase Also, the engagement has been completely moved up the second floor.

An almost hopeless situation.

At this moment, a blood-stained figure appeared in front of Ayase.

"..." Her throat was choked and unable to make a sound, she raised her head with trembling lips, and looked at the visitor.

For a moment, it seemed that the air stopped flowing, and the Hu Jie who had been paying attention to the first floor stopped first. Alma and the others, who had a short rest, were surprised, but following the eyes of the Hu Jie, they also stopped attacking.

The purple-haired youth stared at the figure with fascinated eyes, opened his mouth, and showed a greedy and expectant expression.

"Pause the attack." He ordered in a low voice, then jumped down from the second floor and stood not far away. "This is the best special seat~ Come on, Sakura Manji, let me witness that wonderful light once again, witness—the king's coming."

The whole space fell silent.All eyes were on the first floor.

"Ji..." Shinomiya Ayase muttered the name of the person in front of her, watching his blood-stained clothes shaking in front of her eyes.

Ignoring the Void Genome at his feet, the first thing Sakura Manji did was to bend over and gently lift up Ayase who was covered in scars.

He left his room shortly after GHQ was attacked.The blood on his body belonged to the GHQ officer who wanted to kill Kanon.In order to protect Hua Yin, he almost died. If Gu Xun and Sa Tai didn't show up to help later, he might not have the chance to stand here.

Now, Tanihiro and the others are on the third floor, which is still relatively safe, and Ayase seems to be fine.Ying Manji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Great, you're all fine." He said softly, then picked up the Void Genome at his feet, and slowly stood up.

The ground on the first floor was almost full of corpses of members of the funeral club who were shot to death in a panic. Thick and sticky blood seeped all over the floor, and the disgusting smell of gunpowder smoke and blood filled the nostrils. .

Ying Manji looked around and saw many people who had smiled at him before.

After that day, most of these people let go of their guards, perhaps because he had joined the funeral home for some time, or perhaps because his temperament became more and more similar to the former Chou Shenya.The original distrust was gradually replaced by trust.

But now, these people were ruthlessly killed.

With a throbbing pain in his heart, Ying Manji took a deep breath.

Can not live up to, can not escape.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and pressed the top of the genome.

From the bottom of the black glass tube, extremely thin silver needles ejected, connecting to the spiral crystals inside.

"The only thing I... can do."

Ying Manji squeezed the genome tightly, and then stabbed the silver needle into his chest forcefully.

"Ji!!" Ayase yelled in panic, staring blankly at the crystals in the black glass tube melting into Ji's body.

As if enduring great pain, the brown-haired boy twisted his brows, and the empty tube in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Ah..." He opened his mouth, but couldn't spit out a word. The burning pain burned from his chest to his throat, blocking his vocal cords, and he couldn't even cry out.

The Apocalypse virus was excitedly flowing and active in the host's body, like a thorny strip of void suddenly swept away with Yingmanji as the center, intertwined bands of light climbed up the boy's left hand, tightly holding his arm .

The imprint of light slowly emerged on Ji's left hand.

The last Wang Zhili acknowledged his existence.

Slowly, the pain subsided a little, Ying Manji panted a few times and raised his head.

"Although I have been avoiding it all the time, but now... I won't."

As he spoke, he placed his left hand with the imprint on his chest.

That's what it looks like to draw out the void.

"For everyone, I will not back down again!"

Accompanied by the boy's firm voice, the light of the void gradually lit up, and the blue and white light bands around his body seemed to be alive around Ying Manji. After he pulled out his void, he condensed together with those light green lines. Touched Ying Manji's right arm.

The brown-haired boy raised his right hand formed of crystals, and green complex circuits emerged one by one on his arm.As if the void light band surrounding him had been touched, it shone with a more dazzling light.

A blue circular formation emerged under his feet, and a huge beam of light rushed into the sky with an irresistible force.

"That's right! It's this! It's this light!" Huo Jie opened his hands and watched intoxicatedly as the dazzling light erupted from Ying Manji's body soaring into the sky, cutting through the dark clouds hovering in the night.

The whole world felt this shocking sound.

Roppongi GHQ headquarters, in the bone Christmas tree.

Chiu Shenya pursed his lips and stared at the azure beam of light penetrating the sky, he took a breath, his right eye resonated with pain a little more than before.

"Sure enough...it has become like this." He lowered his head bitterly, "Collect everything, accept everything. Strong, weak, light, dark, no matter what, you are willing to bear it. Your emptiness... has already doomed your Is it fate?"

After speaking, as if mocking himself, Chiu Shenya closed his eyes.

Meiqi, who was imprisoned on the Apocalypse virus crystal, also saw the light. She looked sadly at the direction of the light, and then looked at Chou Shinya.

"Ya, it's sad too..."

The girl's voice was soft and gentle, with lamentation.Hearing this, Chou Shenya covered his more painful right eye and remained silent.

"I don't want Ji to cry, I don't want to see him in pain...at least, I can feel this kind of feeling." Miao Qi said softly, and then smiled slightly: "In this case, it's up to us, As long as we end everything, set, there will be no use of the Void."

After saying that, she quietly looked at Chou Shenya, just like she had done in the past few years, silently watching this stoic young man.

The light in the distance gradually dissipated.

Then, she heard Chiu Shenya reply in a low voice: "Okay."
