Heiankyo love story

In the following period of time, Jiang Xue spent every day quite boring.

She was tired of walking around in the same cage, and there was no one to chat with. At some point, Gu Zong never appeared in front of her again. She didn't know whether it was King Ma Cang Ye who discovered the renunciation of Gu Zong or something else. Terrible conclusion, she would rather hold a sliver of hope, hoping that Gu Zong just escaped from here safely, as for her escape - after she confirmed from Ma Cang Ye Wang that she could not leave Ma Cang's house regardless of life or death, She gave up the idea of ​​seeking help.

Jiang Xue spent the whole day in the yard where she first woke up, either standing or sitting, and most of the time she played by herself.

——To be honest, this place seems to be the residence of Ma Cang Ye Wang in Ma Cang Ben's family, because this guy will appear quietly from time to time, and usually come back to rest after dark.

Well, if the game company still recorded the entire game process of the testers as unscrupulously as before, maybe the audience in the future will boo while watching the strategy test video.

Although there is nothing to shush about, she has already said that a game for all ages, no matter how bad it is, there is an option in SAO where the restrictions can be lifted with the consent of the player, but there is no such thing here, nor I don’t know if it’s because it’s functional or not, but anyway, even if these videos are played as animations, they won’t be shifted to the late-night file.

Come on, who is afraid of whom!

The only problem is that the option to quit the game is always grayed out. As time goes by, even the option to load the file becomes grayed out and unavailable at some point.

Jiang Xue couldn't help but think that this kind of anomaly should really be due to the game's own plot setting, rather than other reasons - such as the 343th article of the player's code signed before entering the game. Any BUG in.

If a virtual reality game with SAO's program as the core program has a bug, it has completely different meanings from other VR games.

More lifelike virtual reality presentations and AI interactions naturally come with higher risks.

Hey, if I knew she should have agreed to the option of "single-player games can be sent online through the Internet", then I wouldn't have to think about it alone, at least I could ask God to discuss it.

However, if Cang Cang knew her current situation, [-]% would laugh first.Who made me swear at the beginning that there would never be a birdcage and black room ending, tsk.

Obviously, something happened to the Asakura family.

If there is no one there for a short time, it can be said to be a group outing, but for two days in a row, there is really no living person other than her and King Ma Cangye in the entire building complex that occupies a large area. Might be a coincidence.

Jiang Xue once secretly guessed whether King Ma Cang Ye killed the whole family, or the whole family became a "vegetative state" together, but King Ma Cang Ye didn't say anything, and she didn't want to ask, so as not to create a kind of self-consciousness for someone. The illusion of caring about his affairs.

Curiosity is the root of all evil.

Before you know it, late autumn has arrived.

When Jiang Xue woke up one day, she found that the maple leaves in the courtyard had quietly turned bright red, more gorgeous than spring flowers.

Ma Cang Yewang didn't know where he went, Shikigami brought the toiletries and prepared breakfast.

These expressionless dolls, which are exactly the same as those in someone's house in Heian capital, can be seen at a glance.

Jiang Xue was too lazy to be polite to this lifeless shikigami. During this time, she had maintained a tacit understanding of "you don't talk, I won't talk" with the shikigami, and sent away the shikigami who wanted to comb her hair. Yes, I finished my breakfast by myself, hugged the huqin, climbed up to the roof from a corner several times, and sat on a higher place overlooking the cage.

It's almost a month.

If the Fujiwara family had given up looking for her, the funeral of "Fujiwara Yukihime" would probably be over.

but……

Jiang Xue's eyes chased a fallen leaf, which slowly swirled and fluttered to the ground.

Life is like the splendor of summer flowers, and death is like the silence of autumn night.

—She is not one to believe in that.

If she couldn't be kind, she would at least cut three swords and go back.

One sword is Suzaku, one sword is Tianyi, and one sword is herself.

In her dream, she saw the Taoist priestess.

Jiang Xue didn't think it was purely accidental.

Dreams are a manifestation of the subconscious, just as the entire game is played in the player's light sleep, just like a dream, the "dream" in the game is not the "dream" in reality, it may also be a manifestation of program interference.

She heard the anti-witch say sorry to her.

Because the Taoist priestess could not leave the Taoist priestess, even if she knew she was trapped in the Asakura main family, she could not come to the rescue. The Taoist priestess deeply apologized for this, not only for Xue Ji who couldn't help herself at the moment, but also for willing to take risks The cat that broke into the wrong way and the stock market again.

Daofan witch said that since the last time she asked Ma Cang Ye Wang and Xue Ji to help re-seal Qianyinpan, Daofan has gradually restored the peace of the past, but since January, the seal has cracked again , the miasma of Huangquan spread out through the boundary, she had to guard the inside of Daofan, and control these miasmas in the sanctuary, but her previous consumption has not recovered, this time the impact is fierce, if according to this momentum If it goes on, she may not be able to hold on in another month.

Once the seal of Qianyinpan fails, the gate of the underworld opens, and miasma, death, and resentful spirits and ghosts pour into the world together, it will turn the world back into hell in a very short period of time.

As a cat, the stock sect has some special abilities. It has the overall situation in mind and stays in the Taoist priest to help the witch. It was accidentally eroded by the miasma of the underworld. Now it has become a spirit body. It is only thanks to the protection of the Taoist witch to avoid being blamed. Spirit devours and assimilates.

This is the reason for the urgent dreaming and apology of the Taoist priestess.

Jiang Xue saw fatigue on Miko's face, as well as unspeakable worry.

How the seal of Qianyinpan in the Taoist sanctuary was sealed, they knew it well.

At that time, Jiang Xue used the sound of the piano to subdue the spirit of resentment, and Daofan Witch and King Ma Cang Ye joined forces to form a seal.

In the absence of accidents, this seal should have firmly protected Qian Yinpan, and it would not be broken in such a short time.

King Ma Cang Ye mastered the sealing technique.

Jiang Xue couldn't help but think that this matter had a direct relationship with him.

In this way, there is an explanation for the stock sect's long absence, but she would rather not know.

Stock sect...a little cat...

Jiang Xue held the piano bar, and it took a long time to play the mourning music.

So what if the soul remains in the world?

To die is to die.

There is an insurmountable boundary between life and death. From now on, even if she can still see the stock, she will never be able to feel that kind of soft touch again. The warmth of life will leave the young cat forever. up.

This is the first piece of music that Jiang Xue played in Asakura Honjia with emotion.

Fortunately, there is no one at home at the moment, otherwise everyone who hears the music at this moment will probably feel heart-piercing pain because of the strong mourning and regret in it.

Even if the musician is silent, laughs and tears, he can't hide his feelings in the mourning song after all.

The musician did not shed tears, but the music was close to crying.

That kind of intense playing gave people the illusion that if the strings were cut at this moment, bright red blood would spurt out and splash all over the body of others.

Ma Cangye Wang appeared in the courtyard halfway through the music, standing quietly in the corner, his whole body was shrouded in the shadow of the house, and his expression was gloomy.

From this song, he actually heard the sound of passion like the clang of a sword, the sound of crackling like a burning flame, and the sound of pouring wine by the Santu River to see him off.

"...Xue Ji, you know? The stock sect is dead."

Jiang Xue was playing to the last bar at the moment, which was the place where the whole song turned into a sad and low voice, but because she heard the voice of the voice, she suddenly pressed the wrong position with her left hand and pulled out a sudden and sharp high note.

The mourning song came to an abrupt end.

Jiang Xue turned to look at King Ma Cang Ye, met his scrutinizing gaze, and replied with a cold face: "Yes, I got a summons from the Daoist Witch in my dream."

"Taoist Witch..."

Ma Cangye Wang pondered for a moment, walked over slowly, sat down beside Jiang Xue, and smiled slightly.

"Then, Xue Ji should also know another thing."

Jiang Xue was really angry at this moment, and almost wanted to smash the Huqin on Ma Cang Ye Wang's head, but she felt sorry for her Huqin, so she endured it and said: "Yes, you want to open Qianyin Pan's seal... But I don't know why you did this, turning the world into hell, what can you get?"

King Ma Cang Ye looked at Jiang Xue, looked straight into her eyes burning with anger, and smiled again.

"Xue Ji, do you remember? You once asked me what my ideal was. At that time, I said, I want to create a world where there are no disputes, no wars, and where man and nature live in harmony."

Jiang Xue looked at King Ma Cang Ye coldly.

At that time, she probably still wanted to flood the sky.

"That seems to run counter to what you're doing now."

"No, this is the beginning." Ma Cang Ye Wang said calmly, "People nowadays don't understand the value of nature at all, greed, violence, selfishness, jealousy... Looking around, there are only endless 'evil' If you want to save this world, you can only wipe out all the current human beings first, and start over. When the gate of the underworld is completely opened, even Abe Seimei will be powerless to close it.”

Jiang Xue was dumbfounded.

"When the gate of the underworld is opened, the world will be reduced to hell! At that time, where will there be 'start over'?!"

King Ma Cang Ye raised the corners of his lips, and said confidently: "There will be—the little girl that Xue Ji protected in the past, she has the possibility of making the world 'restart'."

"...Cy."

Jiang Xue's thoughts flashed, and she suddenly understood the meaning of King Ma Cang Ye. He actually wanted to destroy most of the people, and finally asked Qian to save the remaining people through the Dragon God's wish, and use this method to cleanse the human beings on the ground.

But how many people will be left on the ground by then?

"Are you crazy?"

King Ma Cang Ye smiled and shook his head.

"I'm sober, and I've always been very clear about what I'm doing... That day, Xue Ji said, you can't help much. Don't leave Ma Cang's house, I will protect you and prevent you from being injured by the miasma of the underworld. I don't need you to help me, as long as you stay here and watch."

Jiang Xue really understood the meaning of the thin line between a genius and a lunatic.

"Looking at you...seeing you being punished because of this kind of thing?"

"Whether you succeed or fail..." King Ma Cang Ye stared at Jiang Xue and said with a smile, "Stay with me to the end."

Jiang Xue blinked, said nothing, and continued to play the previous mourning song with her head bowed.
