【Good Leaf】Eclipse of the Crimson Moon
Chapter 11
[Eleventh Moments - Spiral Final Chapter]
The sky must have fallen down, so all I could see was a gray scene.
The monotonous sound of water and wind is intertwined in the gloomy world that has been washed away from all bright colors, making people feel infinite melancholy and worry.In my opinion, the continuous overturning water droplets are more like tears, and there is a clear bitter taste after sliding into the mouth.
The scenery around me was gloomy due to the loss of sunlight. I don't remember how many jungles I crossed, and I don't remember how much time it took.My consciousness is pale, and I can no longer think about any problems. My eyes can only see the continuous road under my feet.
The heavy rain made the body extremely heavy, and the cloth clinging to the limbs changed from a soft protective material to sandpaper that constantly rubbed against the skin. From the burning pain to the inner thighs, the arms and inner thighs finally lost their feeling, and they were trapped like other parts. In a wonderful paralysis.Although the fever continued, the cold rain penetrating into the muscles and bones unexpectedly neutralized it.
After walking through the woods near the national road for an unknown distance, the trees gradually thinned out, and I was forced to walk on the main road.Trying hard to find information that matches the scene in front of my rigid mind, I finally remembered that this place is on the mountain halfway between Tsukimi and the harbor.Although it was quite a distance away from Tsukimi City, it was at least ten kilometers away from the nearest seaport.I have no idea whether I can persist there in the current state.
The steep and sharp rocks extend upward on the right side of the road, straight into the gray misty rain.On the right side of the road washed into dark gray, there is a half-person-high column guardrail, and to the outside is the intersection line between broken rocks and the road.The pitiful soil in the rock crevices was constantly being eroded, and the sparse weeds that were rooted in the rock crevices and stood upright were swaying unceasingly at this moment, and many of them had already bent and fell down.
I inadvertently glanced down to the left, and what I saw made me dizzy for a while.Trying hard to keep your unsteady footsteps from falling to the ground.
On the left side of the road is a cliff that cuts straight down. There are almost no plants on the broken rock wall. The rocks on both sides extend downward in the same dangerous way, forming a narrow and deep mountain stream.The stream I saw when I came here more than a month ago was still gentle and calm, like a jade belt lingering between the cliffs, but at this moment due to the heavy rain for days, it swelled into a turbid torrent, scraping the rock wall and rushing away, hitting the rocky cliff. There was a deafening roar.
I had no time to think about other things, I looked up at the slightly ascending road ahead, and still didn't dare to stop.Gritting his teeth, he dragged his legs that were as heavy as lead, and kept telling himself to just hold on a little longer.After passing this curve, there should be a downhill road ahead, and I can save a lot of effort... If it doesn't work, maybe I can go downhill by "rolling"...
When I thought of this, I found that I didn't even have the strength to smile wryly, and even a little extra movement would cause my body, which had already reached its limit, to fall down, and then I would never have the strength to get up again.
So the footsteps have never stopped, and the only driving force driving the continuous movement of the legs is the belief that is full of consciousness.
Don't stop...I will never stop...
No matter what happens to this body, it will not stop...until the last bit of strength is exhausted.
There are not many residents on Oki Island, and there are very few people who go out in this bad weather. What's more, it is quite far away from the town, so I haven't run into any pedestrians or vehicles.
It would be great if this kind of luck can last all the way to the harbor... While thinking this way, I finally climbed to the top of this gentle slope.Panting and moving my steps, I raised my eyes and looked towards the widened front, but the scene in front of me shocked me so much that my heartbeat almost stopped suddenly, and the footsteps that had been running for several hours without stopping stopped in an instant——
The road slopes downwards, and that is the only way that carries all my hopes at this moment.But it stopped abruptly less than 100 meters in front of me.
The sluggish line of sight moved along the cut-off road, and what appeared in the field of vision was an unimaginably huge and broken mountain rock, lying in the middle of the road like a black behemoth.
Stunned on the spot for about a few minutes, there was a crackling sound in his pale consciousness.In a trance, it seems that not only the heart, but also the already numb body is broken little by little...
What's this?
how come……
When I walked closer in a daze, I found that it was even bigger than I imagined. It looked more like the ruins of a collapsed building. A smooth piece of cliff.The mud flow mixed with gravel and broken wood debris filled the gap between the boulders and the road surface and spread out in all directions.
This is not true, is it?
Is there no way out of Yuejian?
There was a weak smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was the stagnation caused by this tiny movement that made me feel like a world away in an instant.The fighting spirit that was overflowing all over my body just now seemed to have been emptied, and I was so dazed that I even forgot how to walk.
My limbs moved very awkwardly, and with a feeling that was almost strange and empty, I stood on the mountain wall on the right side of the road near where the rock fell, and looked up.
The part of the boulder close to the side of the cliff hangs out in the air, peeling off small stone chips from time to time in the frantic mountain wind, and disappearing into the turbulent turbid current in an instant.
If you don't want to stop, you can only try to climb over the boulder from the inside.
It trembled violently as my fingers dug into the rough, mottled rock face.The bandage wrapped around his hand slipped off at some point, exposing his scarred fingertips.Because several nails were badly damaged, the fingers could hardly exert any force.Grabbing the loose end of the bandage, pulling it taut around a finger, tying the knot with difficulty with the other hand and teeth, should make it easier to force the hands.
It is beyond my consideration for people without any tools to climb over this tens of meters high rockfall pile with a loose lower part and a bare upper part.All I can do now is to hold on to the sharp edges and corners protruding from the rock, step on the bumps that can bear a little force, and move my body upwards with all my strength.As for the consequences of such behavior, I have been unable to think about it.I just kept going mechanically and didn't want to stop no matter what.
One meter... two meters... the body moved slowly upwards with difficulty.
The vision poured into the rain was blurred, but I had to find a point of grip for my hands, so I opened my stinging eyes facing the rain again and again.The feeling of the body became more and more ethereal and unreal, and gradually a kind of hallucination like ascension sprouted from the body.I gritted my teeth, trying to stay conscious.
As long as you climb over here... Maybe you can leave...
Stretched out his arms towards the height of the broken rock that was buried in the direction of the lead gray sky——
My ankle was suddenly grabbed by a strong force without warning, and before I could scream out, my body was already slid down from the huge rock by that brutal force, and fell heavily on the ground where scattered gravel piled up.The strong impact almost shattered my trance consciousness, and all the nerves in my body were paralyzed. I lay limply on the cold ground soaked by rain, unable to move at all.
Despair, the gloomy thoughts that were never willing to admit, are engulfing every inch of body and mind mercilessly at this moment.
I can't even bend my fingers, so I can't get up to check the situation, let alone avoid the incoming attacks.The moment I struggled to prop up my body, a force no less powerful than the one that restrained my ankle just now hit my back again, kicking me straight a few meters away.
Like a doll that has lost its controller, its body rolled several times against the ground and then stopped in a pile of rocks, lying powerlessly on its back.The only movable pupil glanced at the direction of the sound, and in the field of vision behind him stood a few men in dark raincoats.
"Hey, look, is this guy?"
The man closest to me turned and asked the man who was running quickly behind him.Although what I saw with my eyes was blurred by rain and injuries, I could still make out the figure and clothing.
He was indeed the officer on duty who received me at the Tsukimi City Police Station earlier.
There was a minivan parked about tens of meters behind him.And two people are coming out of the car, and they are also coming towards where I am.Counting the three people beside me at this moment, there are seven people within sight...
Just when I tried my best to climb the falling rock, my mental strength was exhausted to the limit, and I didn't even notice the approaching footsteps and vehicles behind me...
The police officer came to me and leaned over to take a look. He hurriedly bowed to the man who asked the question and replied, "That's right! That's him!"
As he said that, he suddenly turned his head and stared at me, with anxious and vicious eyes on his face, he suddenly raised his leg and stepped on my lower abdomen violently.The body curled up reflexively following the huge pain that came at that moment, and the consciousness collapsed and scattered again.
"Stinky boy! You almost made me lose face in front of Kurosawa-sama..."
Curses and blows kept coming down, and I couldn't dodge or make protective moves, so I could only let him kick me in the body and in the face.Unable to find a chance to breathe, intermittent and broken moans burst from his throat with each impact, and were quickly drowned in the bleak mountain wind.
During the continuous violence, their vision kept shaking and trembling, and they couldn't see the surrounding situation at all, but their conversations floated into their ears intermittently.
"...This is...the kid from the Nishikujo family?..."
"...I warned him before...I didn't expect to stay until now..."
"So for this kind of brainless and self-righteous child, we still need to fix it..."
"It cost us a lot of trouble..."
"........."
The blow to the head made the brain go blank amidst the roar, and their conversation was completely inaudible after that.A hotter feeling than the temperature caused by a high fever spreads from the wounds all over the body, slowly ascends from the churning depths of the chest and abdomen, occupies the throat, and finally overflows from the mouth, with strong rust Fishy red liquid.The part that choked into the trachea caused a violent cough, the shaking of the body pulled the wound, and a stronger sense of vomiting filled the remaining consciousness.Warm things mixed with cold rainwater flowed from the forehead into the eye sockets, turning the vision of the right eye into a dark red, no matter how hard you blinked, you still couldn't see anything clearly.
I don't know how long it took, probably they were tired from the beating, and finally stopped.After regaining a little sense of hearing in a trance, they began to discuss how to deal with me.
"Do you want to bring it back to Tsukiyomi Shrine? Do you still need living sacrifices?" One of them made a proposal, and several people around him made a voice of approval, but it was quickly rejected by a subsequent voice.
"No, when he first came, the priest pointed out that this child has a strong 'unlucky', and he cannot be allowed to stay in Yuejian. The adult also said in the previous ceremony that he cannot be used as a sacrifice , not even 'to avoid people'." (Note)
"Tsk, isn't it even worth being killed? What a pathetic guy."
Someone made a disdainful sound, and then came the sound of approaching footsteps.Unsurprisingly, his body lightened, someone grabbed his wrist and lifted him up, dragging him for a few meters before stopping.
"Then we can only make him disappear." The voice said coldly.
Even when I opened my eyes, I still couldn't see the situation clearly, only the ethereal bright red flowers blooming in the nothingness of vision.But I vaguely understand that I was probably taken to the side of the cliff on the left side of the road, right?The hunting wind blew more violently over the trembling body from below, and the sound of the roaring water became more real.
"Don't blame us, kid. If you want to blame, blame yourself for not seeing those things...We can't let people who violate the taboo live."
Consciousness has already turned into a blank. I just heard his words, but I was unable to make any feelings or responses.Both arms were strangled and lifted up, the body was gradually suspended in the air, and the numb bare feet even felt the wind dancing wildly across the mountain stream.Then the next moment, the body was pulled backwards by a strong force, and when it reached the limit, it was immediately thrown in the opposite direction.
Having lost his restraint, he flew out like a kite with a broken thread, tore through the gust of wind, drew an arc with little curvature, and fell high.
The process is too short to see clearly. Compared with the previous experience, this is undoubtedly the most elegant and quick way to free me from the pain.
Even if the end of life should be as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves, but it will end if I can't do anything like this, even if I can't even take a last look at my favorite mountains and forests, I still feel regretful and unwilling.
The few seconds didn't give me room to think, I didn't have time to feel anything, and naturally I wouldn't know it. At that time, several men standing on the edge of the cliff looked at me in astonishment.Because a crimson light cluster rose from my body, wrapped me who was falling rapidly, and drew a meteor-like trajectory in the dark void.
flutter--
The impact of falling from a height of tens of meters would feel like falling on a hard ground even if it fell on the water. The heavy pressure on the bones and muscles of the whole body almost crushed me in an instant.Before the pain dissipated, the icy-cold and rushing water had poured in from all over the mouth and nose, filling the entire chest cavity.The body was sucked into the depths by the flowing water mixed with gravel and dead wood, and then thrown out of the water, hitting the sharp-edged rocks and reefs.
The feeling of fractured bones is mixed with the great pain that can take away all consciousness, and it has become unclear.
I don't know why I can still remember these details, why my thinking becomes clearer after the internal organs are ruptured and suffocated, but this can't change the fact that I am about to die.
I, who was supposed to fall into an eternal slumber, was only gradually separated from the already fragmented body, drifting along the flowing water in a more ethereal and ethereal form than a water bubble, and then gradually slipped into the abyss of deep understanding.
If this silent night is not the kingdom of death, where is it?
★★★
The last servant bowed respectfully, then exited the Japanese room, and when the paper door was gently closed, it was almost midnight.
The long-haired boy in a beige bathrobe slowly walked to the corridor near the inner courtyard, gently stretched his fatigued arms that had been a little sore all day, and looked up at the sky in the courtyard.
The sliding door on the side facing the courtyard is open, the outside is a corridor, and the opposite is an elegant small scene.On the light-colored dry sand, the unburned candles in the stone lanterns sway with soft and trembling halos, looking from a distance like fireflies resting.In fact, even without this hazy orange light, the room without any lights would not become dim.Because at this moment, a huge crimson full moon is hanging in the pitch black night sky.
The red glow spread silently in the night world, illuminating every corner it could gaze at.
In this world of eternal night, Feiyue is the only existence that blesses all things.The dazzling and transparent circle is filled with various levels of crimson from the inside to the outside, and the shadows of the moon sea are indistinct, like phantoms shining in the void, so beautiful that it is difficult to look sideways.
The boy stared at the light wheel for a long time, and sighed leisurely:
"It really hasn't changed at all... It almost makes me forget that it's zero hour."
He paused as if waiting for someone's response, but after a while, the room was still as silent as before.The long-haired boy turned his head and looked into the room.
"leaf?"
The light that enters the room from under the eaves can only reach a position about one meter away from the sliding door, and the larger area of the room is shrouded in slightly darker shadows. The room was filled with a cold and slightly eerie atmosphere, but all of this stopped abruptly next to the boy lying in the middle of the room.
The boy, who was also only wrapped in a thin light-colored bathrobe, lay horizontally in the middle of the floor, his slender limbs spread casually like a big character.His eyes were slightly closed, and his chest rose and fell slightly with his soft and peaceful breathing, as if he had fallen asleep.
"...Hey..." The surprise on the long-haired boy's face quickly turned into depression.After a few steps, he walked over to the boy who seemed to be asleep and sat down, brushing his face lightly with one hand.
"Isn't it... You can fall asleep in just a few minutes?" The slightly reproachful tone contained more of pampering, and she whispered very softly.Supporting the body with the other arm, slowly lower the body.
The young man below him still had his eyes closed, his dark brown mid-length hair was loosely loose, and his loose bathrobe was also spread out on the tatami. Looking down like this, he looked like a blooming magnolia, quiet, serene, and beautiful, without the slightest bit of confusion. Corroded by the dark red light around it.
When the fingertips of the long-haired boy touched the slender neck, the long eyelashes of the short-haired boy trembled slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes, with a voice as soft as a kitten:
"...what are you doing...brother..."
"This is our first night of 'living alone'. Are you going to sleep like this?" The face was already close, and the warm breath blew to the ear, and the lying boy shrank his body reflexively:
"But... I'm really sleepy... Today's ceremony is really tiring..." The young man folded his arms and turned to lie on his side, facing the long-haired boy, his face full of sleepiness.
In the previous ceremony that lasted nearly a day, he also wore a formal hunting suit (note) and held a sacrificial vessel to complete the entire process with perfect posture.Even the long-haired boy who is his elder brother is rarely seen with that dignified and dignified demeanor, so he was slightly surprised.After all, my younger brother was known for being peaceful and undisciplined. Neither the priest nor the priests of the other four families expected him to have such a shocking and radiant side.
But as soon as he returned to the dormitory, he immediately faded away from that layer of sharpness, returning to the lazy and easy-going state that the grown-up boy was familiar with, and even lay down straight down after all the servants retreated.Although the current sleeping appearance will not collapse his image, at least it is completely different from when he was in front of people.
He maintains a gentle and tolerant attitude towards everyone, indifferent and optimistic, but few people have seen his true feelings.Only when the two of them are alone, can the short-haired boy be so relaxed, completely remove all the disguised unnecessary faces, and show his true heart without reservation, no matter whether it is strong or cowardly, joy or sadness.
And the pair of amber eyes staring at the long-haired boy were filled with soft and gentle light, as if they were asking what the other person was thinking in a wordless way.
There is no need for too much language between them, every gesture, every frown and smile, even a look, and the gap between voices are enough to convey a considerable amount of information.However, at this moment the long-haired boy chose to answer his younger brother's question in a more definite way.
"I'm fine, how can I be like you, Chuyi collapsed after just one day..." The short-haired boy's brows were tapped lightly with his fingertips, causing him to frown slightly in embarrassment, but his mood was inexplicable become better.
He bent down, held the face that was still in confusion, and pecked lightly on the cool lips, and felt the whole body of the person under him tense up.
It's still an overly sensitive reaction, making people want to hug him tighter and tease him.
"Ye, come with me." He whispered a light but infinitely bewitching sentence in his ear, picked up the loose clothes wrapped around his thin shoulders, and slender and powerful fingers slid down the neck and delicate collarbone. People can't help but make a weak resistance.
"Ah...but..."
"Today is a day worth remembering..." He continued to attack without hesitation.
"... What's the difference..." The short-haired boy blushed, even in this not-so-bright space, he could feel the heat rising to the base of his ears. Seeing his reaction, the long-haired boy roughly understood that he didn't finish what he said After the second half of the sentence, I couldn't help laughing.
"Even if I've done it a long time ago, today is the first day of getting along like this without worrying about other people's eyes. Aren't you happy, Ye?"
"Of course I'm happy." Answering the brother's question frankly, wrapping his arms around his back, the drowsiness has subsided unknowingly, and a clearer impulse surges in the body, wanting to rush out of the body, thinking To get a response.
When he was hugged even tighter, a tingling pain secretly appeared in the extremely hidden corner of his heart, which turned into a faint uneasiness and surfaced on his face, and sighed with a bit of regret:
"We... what will happen in the future? Okay..."
The young man lying on his body froze for a moment, but soon recovered his usual elegant and unruly smile:
"Don't think about that. We'll always be together, no matter what happens."
The moonlight past midnight is still enchanting and dazzing, even if time passes slowly, it will not gradually slide down from the sky, because this is the entrance to the eternal kingdom, an eternal kingdom that will not change even after hundreds of millions of years.
The figures of the two people in the room were already hugging each other tightly, gradually melting away in the shadow soaked in dark red.
All the levels in the field of vision are slowly being lost, all forms are hidden in the darkness, and the whole world returns to the icy darkness once again.
Everything is like a dream, and in an instant it turns into an existence that is more emptiness than clouds and smoke.But I understand that it is not false.
This is one of the countless faded memory fragments left in the long river of time. The first day I came to Tsukiyomi Shrine was also the beginning of everything.
I always thought that.But after a long time, I realized that everything started from a longer and more distant past——
The years before those thousands of days and nights that are so long that no one can know.
At that time, the red moon did not hang permanently in the sky of Kingdom of the Night like it is now.
★★★
In a trance, I saw countless mottled remnants of time gather and appear, and then dimmed and faded, turning into droplets and dissipating in the lightless dark night.
I don't know how to describe the sense of loss as the turbulent thoughts that surged up drifted helplessly in the vortex of memory.It was like watching a dragonfly flying in the night sky with trembling residual wings. After struggling for such a long time, it finally fell powerlessly and disappeared from sight.
There is no end to falling, drawing a helpless trajectory.That figure was full of sadness.
Looking at those ever-changing scenes, I feel more and more that my spirit has become thin and fragile, unable to withstand repeated shocks, and will be chapped, broken, and melted into the dark abyss in the next moment.
If it is really possible to die like that, and fall asleep like that, maybe it will be more comfortable.
However, I have not been granted eternal sleep, because my body and all my soul are burdened with deep sins, so I am destined to be brought back to the world of eternal chaos and vicissitudes, and bear all the causes and effects.
After realizing this point clearly, the originally vain self seemed to become a little more real, and shadows with dark green light gradually gathered in the empty darkness.At the same time, the feeling of loss returned to his body, and the tingling pain spread.
What kind of catastrophe will be the beginning of that, I don't know anything at this moment, but I will not escape, I will definitely abide by the agreement with that person and persist until the last moment, even if this body turns into droplets of smoke and dust.
While thinking this way, more intense and sharp pain penetrated into the body.
I don't know whether it was squeezed, bumped or cut, the external forces coming from various directions tore and crushed me, and I was still too weak to even moan and scream, I could only maintain it with difficulty like a fish stranded on the beach. Panting, letting the ever-increasing pain occupy all his consciousness.
When the burning sensation that continued to spread to the nerve endings of the whole body almost burned out my perception, and I was about to pass out, another more violent shock hit from behind.The violent tremors roughly tore apart his trance consciousness, and even though he woke up, he fell into a deeper purgatory.The mind turned into a white-hot dazed state couldn't think, let the unstoppable force tear the skin and touch the surface of the bone, and then made a hoarse and piercing sound.I heard my own short and shrill wail when the shock like electric shock sent out when the nerves were crushed spread throughout my body.
Consciousness was interrupted again after that.When I resisted the burning pain that filled my whole body and opened my eyes, what I saw was a not too big stone room.
The dim and uncertain light comes from candles lit at the four corners of the wall, and the glow flickers.There are old wooden brackets on the wall, and many ominously shaped metal utensils are hung between them. The mottled and horribly stained surface makes the scalp tingle.
I don't need to look carefully to know that those are torture devices.
There were several people standing in front of me, and some of them were sitting in chairs, all staring at me without exception.The backlit faces were hidden in the dark blue shadow, and I couldn't see their faces clearly because my vision had not fully recovered, but I could roughly understand from the outlines that several of them were familiar figures.
Seeing me wake up, they exchanged glances, and the person on the left picked up something and threw it in front of me.Irregular crisp impact echoed in the dead stone room, which was extremely ear-piercing, and the confused and muddy consciousness was awakened, and the eyes moved down mechanically, and fell on that thing.
That mass of pale things seemed to have been destroyed, spreading out in a criss-cross pattern on the ground, but it looked more like a child lying there in a strange posture.
When he took a closer look at its appearance, his nerves tensed again, and his heartbeat stopped almost instantly.
It was a very badly damaged doll.The hands, feet, and even the chest and abdomen were broken into several sections, the damaged joints were exposed, and the detached head lay crookedly in front of me.The pale skin was covered with scratches, making the originally delicate face extremely terrifying.The wet white hair was sticky in strands, falling messily, and a little sticking to the cheek.Only those dull crimson eyes were still beautiful, with a dim, cold light on the surface covered by a thin layer of mist.
It's me?
...Nishi Kujo Masumi?
no... no...
The blood seemed to gradually freeze into ice, and I stared at those eyes for a long time, until a loud and solemn male voice sounded in the silence.
"Is this your thing? Asakura leaf."
I am…
Asakura leaves…
That is…
That's me... It's a doll made by Asakuraha himself.
It's really mine.
"What else do you have to say?" The man who saw the change in my expression raised his voice, showing cold anger in his solemn tone.
I looked at them in a daze, and everyone's eyes were full of the same hatred, making me feel like falling into a sea of ice.
"Now... is it really... the first year of Heisei?" An absurd question came out of slightly trembling lips.
There was a burst of boos from the crowd. After the man sitting in the middle waved his hand, the rising hostility subsided slightly, and the man also spoke:
"As you wish, four years have passed since then. But no matter how long it has passed, even if you go to the ends of the earth, as a citizen of the moon, you cannot escape the punishment of the gods. Ma Cangye, do you know that you committed a crime?" What a serious crime?"
four years ago?
Those four years were really not illusory?
All the time spent as Masumi Nishikujo...everything...was not a dream.
Why?Why did it become like this?
What am I...
The severe pain from the shoulders and back pierced through the consciousness again, and he withdrew his confused mind to re-examine himself.Although he was too weak to turn his head to check, he had clearly indicated his situation.
I am now sticking to the stone wall behind me in a half-kneeling position.Both arms are suspended by chains, so that the weak body will not fall down.Although the whole body was full of burning pains, the clearest one came from the back.
Something was embedded in the back, deep into the bone marrow, and a slight movement of the body immediately caused a tearing feeling that almost made people faint.
"Ghost Binding" is a spell used to imprison ferocious evil spirits. The chains of empowered spells can pass through the ghost's shoulder blades to block all its mana and suppress it forever.And now, I am being punished as a person with serious crimes.
Is it... is that the case?
Four years have passed...the ceremony has indeed been...
I suddenly raised my head and hissed and asked:
"Well? What's the good? I want to see him!—"
No matter how this body becomes, no matter how many years pass by, no matter how many sins you bear, only you...
Even if I fall into the deepest hell, I don't want to break the agreement with you... I have already sworn an oath!
But why did it become like this?
No... what's the use of remembering everything?None of this will come back, and all sin will never disappear.
good!sorry!
How to make it up, please tell me!
please……
The cloudy sky above the moon continued to be dense, and the raindrops that seemed to never stop falling on the gray ground seemed to be crying helplessly.
Gradually, more gray-white clouds began to gather deeper coldness, and turned into tiny crystals, which flew down among the raindrops, but melted away before touching the ground, and lost their tiny figure .
Both snow and rain fall endlessly, and darkness is buried in the transparent crystal.
Pattering, sinking into the ground.
On the other hand, there is no drizzle or snow in the moonlight in another world, only the eternal dark night and the huge crimson moon, hanging alone in the night sky forever.

Part Two [Eclipse of the Crimson Moon - Chapter of Turning]
The sky must have fallen down, so all I could see was a gray scene.
The monotonous sound of water and wind is intertwined in the gloomy world that has been washed away from all bright colors, making people feel infinite melancholy and worry.In my opinion, the continuous overturning water droplets are more like tears, and there is a clear bitter taste after sliding into the mouth.
The scenery around me was gloomy due to the loss of sunlight. I don't remember how many jungles I crossed, and I don't remember how much time it took.My consciousness is pale, and I can no longer think about any problems. My eyes can only see the continuous road under my feet.
The heavy rain made the body extremely heavy, and the cloth clinging to the limbs changed from a soft protective material to sandpaper that constantly rubbed against the skin. From the burning pain to the inner thighs, the arms and inner thighs finally lost their feeling, and they were trapped like other parts. In a wonderful paralysis.Although the fever continued, the cold rain penetrating into the muscles and bones unexpectedly neutralized it.
After walking through the woods near the national road for an unknown distance, the trees gradually thinned out, and I was forced to walk on the main road.Trying hard to find information that matches the scene in front of my rigid mind, I finally remembered that this place is on the mountain halfway between Tsukimi and the harbor.Although it was quite a distance away from Tsukimi City, it was at least ten kilometers away from the nearest seaport.I have no idea whether I can persist there in the current state.
The steep and sharp rocks extend upward on the right side of the road, straight into the gray misty rain.On the right side of the road washed into dark gray, there is a half-person-high column guardrail, and to the outside is the intersection line between broken rocks and the road.The pitiful soil in the rock crevices was constantly being eroded, and the sparse weeds that were rooted in the rock crevices and stood upright were swaying unceasingly at this moment, and many of them had already bent and fell down.
I inadvertently glanced down to the left, and what I saw made me dizzy for a while.Trying hard to keep your unsteady footsteps from falling to the ground.
On the left side of the road is a cliff that cuts straight down. There are almost no plants on the broken rock wall. The rocks on both sides extend downward in the same dangerous way, forming a narrow and deep mountain stream.The stream I saw when I came here more than a month ago was still gentle and calm, like a jade belt lingering between the cliffs, but at this moment due to the heavy rain for days, it swelled into a turbid torrent, scraping the rock wall and rushing away, hitting the rocky cliff. There was a deafening roar.
I had no time to think about other things, I looked up at the slightly ascending road ahead, and still didn't dare to stop.Gritting his teeth, he dragged his legs that were as heavy as lead, and kept telling himself to just hold on a little longer.After passing this curve, there should be a downhill road ahead, and I can save a lot of effort... If it doesn't work, maybe I can go downhill by "rolling"...
When I thought of this, I found that I didn't even have the strength to smile wryly, and even a little extra movement would cause my body, which had already reached its limit, to fall down, and then I would never have the strength to get up again.
So the footsteps have never stopped, and the only driving force driving the continuous movement of the legs is the belief that is full of consciousness.
Don't stop...I will never stop...
No matter what happens to this body, it will not stop...until the last bit of strength is exhausted.
There are not many residents on Oki Island, and there are very few people who go out in this bad weather. What's more, it is quite far away from the town, so I haven't run into any pedestrians or vehicles.
It would be great if this kind of luck can last all the way to the harbor... While thinking this way, I finally climbed to the top of this gentle slope.Panting and moving my steps, I raised my eyes and looked towards the widened front, but the scene in front of me shocked me so much that my heartbeat almost stopped suddenly, and the footsteps that had been running for several hours without stopping stopped in an instant——
The road slopes downwards, and that is the only way that carries all my hopes at this moment.But it stopped abruptly less than 100 meters in front of me.
The sluggish line of sight moved along the cut-off road, and what appeared in the field of vision was an unimaginably huge and broken mountain rock, lying in the middle of the road like a black behemoth.
Stunned on the spot for about a few minutes, there was a crackling sound in his pale consciousness.In a trance, it seems that not only the heart, but also the already numb body is broken little by little...
What's this?
how come……
When I walked closer in a daze, I found that it was even bigger than I imagined. It looked more like the ruins of a collapsed building. A smooth piece of cliff.The mud flow mixed with gravel and broken wood debris filled the gap between the boulders and the road surface and spread out in all directions.
This is not true, is it?
Is there no way out of Yuejian?
There was a weak smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was the stagnation caused by this tiny movement that made me feel like a world away in an instant.The fighting spirit that was overflowing all over my body just now seemed to have been emptied, and I was so dazed that I even forgot how to walk.
My limbs moved very awkwardly, and with a feeling that was almost strange and empty, I stood on the mountain wall on the right side of the road near where the rock fell, and looked up.
The part of the boulder close to the side of the cliff hangs out in the air, peeling off small stone chips from time to time in the frantic mountain wind, and disappearing into the turbulent turbid current in an instant.
If you don't want to stop, you can only try to climb over the boulder from the inside.
It trembled violently as my fingers dug into the rough, mottled rock face.The bandage wrapped around his hand slipped off at some point, exposing his scarred fingertips.Because several nails were badly damaged, the fingers could hardly exert any force.Grabbing the loose end of the bandage, pulling it taut around a finger, tying the knot with difficulty with the other hand and teeth, should make it easier to force the hands.
It is beyond my consideration for people without any tools to climb over this tens of meters high rockfall pile with a loose lower part and a bare upper part.All I can do now is to hold on to the sharp edges and corners protruding from the rock, step on the bumps that can bear a little force, and move my body upwards with all my strength.As for the consequences of such behavior, I have been unable to think about it.I just kept going mechanically and didn't want to stop no matter what.
One meter... two meters... the body moved slowly upwards with difficulty.
The vision poured into the rain was blurred, but I had to find a point of grip for my hands, so I opened my stinging eyes facing the rain again and again.The feeling of the body became more and more ethereal and unreal, and gradually a kind of hallucination like ascension sprouted from the body.I gritted my teeth, trying to stay conscious.
As long as you climb over here... Maybe you can leave...
Stretched out his arms towards the height of the broken rock that was buried in the direction of the lead gray sky——
My ankle was suddenly grabbed by a strong force without warning, and before I could scream out, my body was already slid down from the huge rock by that brutal force, and fell heavily on the ground where scattered gravel piled up.The strong impact almost shattered my trance consciousness, and all the nerves in my body were paralyzed. I lay limply on the cold ground soaked by rain, unable to move at all.
Despair, the gloomy thoughts that were never willing to admit, are engulfing every inch of body and mind mercilessly at this moment.
I can't even bend my fingers, so I can't get up to check the situation, let alone avoid the incoming attacks.The moment I struggled to prop up my body, a force no less powerful than the one that restrained my ankle just now hit my back again, kicking me straight a few meters away.
Like a doll that has lost its controller, its body rolled several times against the ground and then stopped in a pile of rocks, lying powerlessly on its back.The only movable pupil glanced at the direction of the sound, and in the field of vision behind him stood a few men in dark raincoats.
"Hey, look, is this guy?"
The man closest to me turned and asked the man who was running quickly behind him.Although what I saw with my eyes was blurred by rain and injuries, I could still make out the figure and clothing.
He was indeed the officer on duty who received me at the Tsukimi City Police Station earlier.
There was a minivan parked about tens of meters behind him.And two people are coming out of the car, and they are also coming towards where I am.Counting the three people beside me at this moment, there are seven people within sight...
Just when I tried my best to climb the falling rock, my mental strength was exhausted to the limit, and I didn't even notice the approaching footsteps and vehicles behind me...
The police officer came to me and leaned over to take a look. He hurriedly bowed to the man who asked the question and replied, "That's right! That's him!"
As he said that, he suddenly turned his head and stared at me, with anxious and vicious eyes on his face, he suddenly raised his leg and stepped on my lower abdomen violently.The body curled up reflexively following the huge pain that came at that moment, and the consciousness collapsed and scattered again.
"Stinky boy! You almost made me lose face in front of Kurosawa-sama..."
Curses and blows kept coming down, and I couldn't dodge or make protective moves, so I could only let him kick me in the body and in the face.Unable to find a chance to breathe, intermittent and broken moans burst from his throat with each impact, and were quickly drowned in the bleak mountain wind.
During the continuous violence, their vision kept shaking and trembling, and they couldn't see the surrounding situation at all, but their conversations floated into their ears intermittently.
"...This is...the kid from the Nishikujo family?..."
"...I warned him before...I didn't expect to stay until now..."
"So for this kind of brainless and self-righteous child, we still need to fix it..."
"It cost us a lot of trouble..."
"........."
The blow to the head made the brain go blank amidst the roar, and their conversation was completely inaudible after that.A hotter feeling than the temperature caused by a high fever spreads from the wounds all over the body, slowly ascends from the churning depths of the chest and abdomen, occupies the throat, and finally overflows from the mouth, with strong rust Fishy red liquid.The part that choked into the trachea caused a violent cough, the shaking of the body pulled the wound, and a stronger sense of vomiting filled the remaining consciousness.Warm things mixed with cold rainwater flowed from the forehead into the eye sockets, turning the vision of the right eye into a dark red, no matter how hard you blinked, you still couldn't see anything clearly.
I don't know how long it took, probably they were tired from the beating, and finally stopped.After regaining a little sense of hearing in a trance, they began to discuss how to deal with me.
"Do you want to bring it back to Tsukiyomi Shrine? Do you still need living sacrifices?" One of them made a proposal, and several people around him made a voice of approval, but it was quickly rejected by a subsequent voice.
"No, when he first came, the priest pointed out that this child has a strong 'unlucky', and he cannot be allowed to stay in Yuejian. The adult also said in the previous ceremony that he cannot be used as a sacrifice , not even 'to avoid people'." (Note)
"Tsk, isn't it even worth being killed? What a pathetic guy."
Someone made a disdainful sound, and then came the sound of approaching footsteps.Unsurprisingly, his body lightened, someone grabbed his wrist and lifted him up, dragging him for a few meters before stopping.
"Then we can only make him disappear." The voice said coldly.
Even when I opened my eyes, I still couldn't see the situation clearly, only the ethereal bright red flowers blooming in the nothingness of vision.But I vaguely understand that I was probably taken to the side of the cliff on the left side of the road, right?The hunting wind blew more violently over the trembling body from below, and the sound of the roaring water became more real.
"Don't blame us, kid. If you want to blame, blame yourself for not seeing those things...We can't let people who violate the taboo live."
Consciousness has already turned into a blank. I just heard his words, but I was unable to make any feelings or responses.Both arms were strangled and lifted up, the body was gradually suspended in the air, and the numb bare feet even felt the wind dancing wildly across the mountain stream.Then the next moment, the body was pulled backwards by a strong force, and when it reached the limit, it was immediately thrown in the opposite direction.
Having lost his restraint, he flew out like a kite with a broken thread, tore through the gust of wind, drew an arc with little curvature, and fell high.
The process is too short to see clearly. Compared with the previous experience, this is undoubtedly the most elegant and quick way to free me from the pain.
Even if the end of life should be as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves, but it will end if I can't do anything like this, even if I can't even take a last look at my favorite mountains and forests, I still feel regretful and unwilling.
The few seconds didn't give me room to think, I didn't have time to feel anything, and naturally I wouldn't know it. At that time, several men standing on the edge of the cliff looked at me in astonishment.Because a crimson light cluster rose from my body, wrapped me who was falling rapidly, and drew a meteor-like trajectory in the dark void.
flutter--
The impact of falling from a height of tens of meters would feel like falling on a hard ground even if it fell on the water. The heavy pressure on the bones and muscles of the whole body almost crushed me in an instant.Before the pain dissipated, the icy-cold and rushing water had poured in from all over the mouth and nose, filling the entire chest cavity.The body was sucked into the depths by the flowing water mixed with gravel and dead wood, and then thrown out of the water, hitting the sharp-edged rocks and reefs.
The feeling of fractured bones is mixed with the great pain that can take away all consciousness, and it has become unclear.
I don't know why I can still remember these details, why my thinking becomes clearer after the internal organs are ruptured and suffocated, but this can't change the fact that I am about to die.
I, who was supposed to fall into an eternal slumber, was only gradually separated from the already fragmented body, drifting along the flowing water in a more ethereal and ethereal form than a water bubble, and then gradually slipped into the abyss of deep understanding.
If this silent night is not the kingdom of death, where is it?
★★★
The last servant bowed respectfully, then exited the Japanese room, and when the paper door was gently closed, it was almost midnight.
The long-haired boy in a beige bathrobe slowly walked to the corridor near the inner courtyard, gently stretched his fatigued arms that had been a little sore all day, and looked up at the sky in the courtyard.
The sliding door on the side facing the courtyard is open, the outside is a corridor, and the opposite is an elegant small scene.On the light-colored dry sand, the unburned candles in the stone lanterns sway with soft and trembling halos, looking from a distance like fireflies resting.In fact, even without this hazy orange light, the room without any lights would not become dim.Because at this moment, a huge crimson full moon is hanging in the pitch black night sky.
The red glow spread silently in the night world, illuminating every corner it could gaze at.
In this world of eternal night, Feiyue is the only existence that blesses all things.The dazzling and transparent circle is filled with various levels of crimson from the inside to the outside, and the shadows of the moon sea are indistinct, like phantoms shining in the void, so beautiful that it is difficult to look sideways.
The boy stared at the light wheel for a long time, and sighed leisurely:
"It really hasn't changed at all... It almost makes me forget that it's zero hour."
He paused as if waiting for someone's response, but after a while, the room was still as silent as before.The long-haired boy turned his head and looked into the room.
"leaf?"
The light that enters the room from under the eaves can only reach a position about one meter away from the sliding door, and the larger area of the room is shrouded in slightly darker shadows. The room was filled with a cold and slightly eerie atmosphere, but all of this stopped abruptly next to the boy lying in the middle of the room.
The boy, who was also only wrapped in a thin light-colored bathrobe, lay horizontally in the middle of the floor, his slender limbs spread casually like a big character.His eyes were slightly closed, and his chest rose and fell slightly with his soft and peaceful breathing, as if he had fallen asleep.
"...Hey..." The surprise on the long-haired boy's face quickly turned into depression.After a few steps, he walked over to the boy who seemed to be asleep and sat down, brushing his face lightly with one hand.
"Isn't it... You can fall asleep in just a few minutes?" The slightly reproachful tone contained more of pampering, and she whispered very softly.Supporting the body with the other arm, slowly lower the body.
The young man below him still had his eyes closed, his dark brown mid-length hair was loosely loose, and his loose bathrobe was also spread out on the tatami. Looking down like this, he looked like a blooming magnolia, quiet, serene, and beautiful, without the slightest bit of confusion. Corroded by the dark red light around it.
When the fingertips of the long-haired boy touched the slender neck, the long eyelashes of the short-haired boy trembled slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes, with a voice as soft as a kitten:
"...what are you doing...brother..."
"This is our first night of 'living alone'. Are you going to sleep like this?" The face was already close, and the warm breath blew to the ear, and the lying boy shrank his body reflexively:
"But... I'm really sleepy... Today's ceremony is really tiring..." The young man folded his arms and turned to lie on his side, facing the long-haired boy, his face full of sleepiness.
In the previous ceremony that lasted nearly a day, he also wore a formal hunting suit (note) and held a sacrificial vessel to complete the entire process with perfect posture.Even the long-haired boy who is his elder brother is rarely seen with that dignified and dignified demeanor, so he was slightly surprised.After all, my younger brother was known for being peaceful and undisciplined. Neither the priest nor the priests of the other four families expected him to have such a shocking and radiant side.
But as soon as he returned to the dormitory, he immediately faded away from that layer of sharpness, returning to the lazy and easy-going state that the grown-up boy was familiar with, and even lay down straight down after all the servants retreated.Although the current sleeping appearance will not collapse his image, at least it is completely different from when he was in front of people.
He maintains a gentle and tolerant attitude towards everyone, indifferent and optimistic, but few people have seen his true feelings.Only when the two of them are alone, can the short-haired boy be so relaxed, completely remove all the disguised unnecessary faces, and show his true heart without reservation, no matter whether it is strong or cowardly, joy or sadness.
And the pair of amber eyes staring at the long-haired boy were filled with soft and gentle light, as if they were asking what the other person was thinking in a wordless way.
There is no need for too much language between them, every gesture, every frown and smile, even a look, and the gap between voices are enough to convey a considerable amount of information.However, at this moment the long-haired boy chose to answer his younger brother's question in a more definite way.
"I'm fine, how can I be like you, Chuyi collapsed after just one day..." The short-haired boy's brows were tapped lightly with his fingertips, causing him to frown slightly in embarrassment, but his mood was inexplicable become better.
He bent down, held the face that was still in confusion, and pecked lightly on the cool lips, and felt the whole body of the person under him tense up.
It's still an overly sensitive reaction, making people want to hug him tighter and tease him.
"Ye, come with me." He whispered a light but infinitely bewitching sentence in his ear, picked up the loose clothes wrapped around his thin shoulders, and slender and powerful fingers slid down the neck and delicate collarbone. People can't help but make a weak resistance.
"Ah...but..."
"Today is a day worth remembering..." He continued to attack without hesitation.
"... What's the difference..." The short-haired boy blushed, even in this not-so-bright space, he could feel the heat rising to the base of his ears. Seeing his reaction, the long-haired boy roughly understood that he didn't finish what he said After the second half of the sentence, I couldn't help laughing.
"Even if I've done it a long time ago, today is the first day of getting along like this without worrying about other people's eyes. Aren't you happy, Ye?"
"Of course I'm happy." Answering the brother's question frankly, wrapping his arms around his back, the drowsiness has subsided unknowingly, and a clearer impulse surges in the body, wanting to rush out of the body, thinking To get a response.
When he was hugged even tighter, a tingling pain secretly appeared in the extremely hidden corner of his heart, which turned into a faint uneasiness and surfaced on his face, and sighed with a bit of regret:
"We... what will happen in the future? Okay..."
The young man lying on his body froze for a moment, but soon recovered his usual elegant and unruly smile:
"Don't think about that. We'll always be together, no matter what happens."
The moonlight past midnight is still enchanting and dazzing, even if time passes slowly, it will not gradually slide down from the sky, because this is the entrance to the eternal kingdom, an eternal kingdom that will not change even after hundreds of millions of years.
The figures of the two people in the room were already hugging each other tightly, gradually melting away in the shadow soaked in dark red.
All the levels in the field of vision are slowly being lost, all forms are hidden in the darkness, and the whole world returns to the icy darkness once again.
Everything is like a dream, and in an instant it turns into an existence that is more emptiness than clouds and smoke.But I understand that it is not false.
This is one of the countless faded memory fragments left in the long river of time. The first day I came to Tsukiyomi Shrine was also the beginning of everything.
I always thought that.But after a long time, I realized that everything started from a longer and more distant past——
The years before those thousands of days and nights that are so long that no one can know.
At that time, the red moon did not hang permanently in the sky of Kingdom of the Night like it is now.
★★★
In a trance, I saw countless mottled remnants of time gather and appear, and then dimmed and faded, turning into droplets and dissipating in the lightless dark night.
I don't know how to describe the sense of loss as the turbulent thoughts that surged up drifted helplessly in the vortex of memory.It was like watching a dragonfly flying in the night sky with trembling residual wings. After struggling for such a long time, it finally fell powerlessly and disappeared from sight.
There is no end to falling, drawing a helpless trajectory.That figure was full of sadness.
Looking at those ever-changing scenes, I feel more and more that my spirit has become thin and fragile, unable to withstand repeated shocks, and will be chapped, broken, and melted into the dark abyss in the next moment.
If it is really possible to die like that, and fall asleep like that, maybe it will be more comfortable.
However, I have not been granted eternal sleep, because my body and all my soul are burdened with deep sins, so I am destined to be brought back to the world of eternal chaos and vicissitudes, and bear all the causes and effects.
After realizing this point clearly, the originally vain self seemed to become a little more real, and shadows with dark green light gradually gathered in the empty darkness.At the same time, the feeling of loss returned to his body, and the tingling pain spread.
What kind of catastrophe will be the beginning of that, I don't know anything at this moment, but I will not escape, I will definitely abide by the agreement with that person and persist until the last moment, even if this body turns into droplets of smoke and dust.
While thinking this way, more intense and sharp pain penetrated into the body.
I don't know whether it was squeezed, bumped or cut, the external forces coming from various directions tore and crushed me, and I was still too weak to even moan and scream, I could only maintain it with difficulty like a fish stranded on the beach. Panting, letting the ever-increasing pain occupy all his consciousness.
When the burning sensation that continued to spread to the nerve endings of the whole body almost burned out my perception, and I was about to pass out, another more violent shock hit from behind.The violent tremors roughly tore apart his trance consciousness, and even though he woke up, he fell into a deeper purgatory.The mind turned into a white-hot dazed state couldn't think, let the unstoppable force tear the skin and touch the surface of the bone, and then made a hoarse and piercing sound.I heard my own short and shrill wail when the shock like electric shock sent out when the nerves were crushed spread throughout my body.
Consciousness was interrupted again after that.When I resisted the burning pain that filled my whole body and opened my eyes, what I saw was a not too big stone room.
The dim and uncertain light comes from candles lit at the four corners of the wall, and the glow flickers.There are old wooden brackets on the wall, and many ominously shaped metal utensils are hung between them. The mottled and horribly stained surface makes the scalp tingle.
I don't need to look carefully to know that those are torture devices.
There were several people standing in front of me, and some of them were sitting in chairs, all staring at me without exception.The backlit faces were hidden in the dark blue shadow, and I couldn't see their faces clearly because my vision had not fully recovered, but I could roughly understand from the outlines that several of them were familiar figures.
Seeing me wake up, they exchanged glances, and the person on the left picked up something and threw it in front of me.Irregular crisp impact echoed in the dead stone room, which was extremely ear-piercing, and the confused and muddy consciousness was awakened, and the eyes moved down mechanically, and fell on that thing.
That mass of pale things seemed to have been destroyed, spreading out in a criss-cross pattern on the ground, but it looked more like a child lying there in a strange posture.
When he took a closer look at its appearance, his nerves tensed again, and his heartbeat stopped almost instantly.
It was a very badly damaged doll.The hands, feet, and even the chest and abdomen were broken into several sections, the damaged joints were exposed, and the detached head lay crookedly in front of me.The pale skin was covered with scratches, making the originally delicate face extremely terrifying.The wet white hair was sticky in strands, falling messily, and a little sticking to the cheek.Only those dull crimson eyes were still beautiful, with a dim, cold light on the surface covered by a thin layer of mist.
It's me?
...Nishi Kujo Masumi?
no... no...
The blood seemed to gradually freeze into ice, and I stared at those eyes for a long time, until a loud and solemn male voice sounded in the silence.
"Is this your thing? Asakura leaf."
I am…
Asakura leaves…
That is…
That's me... It's a doll made by Asakuraha himself.
It's really mine.
"What else do you have to say?" The man who saw the change in my expression raised his voice, showing cold anger in his solemn tone.
I looked at them in a daze, and everyone's eyes were full of the same hatred, making me feel like falling into a sea of ice.
"Now... is it really... the first year of Heisei?" An absurd question came out of slightly trembling lips.
There was a burst of boos from the crowd. After the man sitting in the middle waved his hand, the rising hostility subsided slightly, and the man also spoke:
"As you wish, four years have passed since then. But no matter how long it has passed, even if you go to the ends of the earth, as a citizen of the moon, you cannot escape the punishment of the gods. Ma Cangye, do you know that you committed a crime?" What a serious crime?"
four years ago?
Those four years were really not illusory?
All the time spent as Masumi Nishikujo...everything...was not a dream.
Why?Why did it become like this?
What am I...
The severe pain from the shoulders and back pierced through the consciousness again, and he withdrew his confused mind to re-examine himself.Although he was too weak to turn his head to check, he had clearly indicated his situation.
I am now sticking to the stone wall behind me in a half-kneeling position.Both arms are suspended by chains, so that the weak body will not fall down.Although the whole body was full of burning pains, the clearest one came from the back.
Something was embedded in the back, deep into the bone marrow, and a slight movement of the body immediately caused a tearing feeling that almost made people faint.
"Ghost Binding" is a spell used to imprison ferocious evil spirits. The chains of empowered spells can pass through the ghost's shoulder blades to block all its mana and suppress it forever.And now, I am being punished as a person with serious crimes.
Is it... is that the case?
Four years have passed...the ceremony has indeed been...
I suddenly raised my head and hissed and asked:
"Well? What's the good? I want to see him!—"
No matter how this body becomes, no matter how many years pass by, no matter how many sins you bear, only you...
Even if I fall into the deepest hell, I don't want to break the agreement with you... I have already sworn an oath!
But why did it become like this?
No... what's the use of remembering everything?None of this will come back, and all sin will never disappear.
good!sorry!
How to make it up, please tell me!
please……
The cloudy sky above the moon continued to be dense, and the raindrops that seemed to never stop falling on the gray ground seemed to be crying helplessly.
Gradually, more gray-white clouds began to gather deeper coldness, and turned into tiny crystals, which flew down among the raindrops, but melted away before touching the ground, and lost their tiny figure .
Both snow and rain fall endlessly, and darkness is buried in the transparent crystal.
Pattering, sinking into the ground.
On the other hand, there is no drizzle or snow in the moonlight in another world, only the eternal dark night and the huge crimson moon, hanging alone in the night sky forever.
