You Muzhen looked at the girl in his arms in a bewildered expression, and the system added a series of explanatory text next to her in a wicked way: {Se Mingquan.Occupation: High school student.Side job: graphic model.Gender: Female.Intimacy: 91}
The degree of intimacy is higher than that of the Alpha doctor, no wonder the interaction is so intimate, as soon as they meet, they hug each other.Seeing that the favorability level is almost full, Yumu is a little nervous. Could it be that in this world he and Quansang have already... dated?
Yuki is still distracted here, while Sena is skillfully holding his arm, and her soft fingers are inserted into his fingers. By the time Yuki realizes, the two of them have walked forward hand in hand up.
"Today is the last day of the school festival, I just have a bye, let's go shopping together~ I haven't dated You Jun on campus yet."
You Mu blushed when he heard the ambiguous words.He was not good at interacting with girls, but when a girl suddenly appeared and entangled him passionately, he couldn't stand it anymore, not to mention Izumi Sena's sexual change, Yuki didn't struggle to break free, nor obeyed, he had to hold hands like a puppet Follow Sena on the same foot.
The campus immersed in the school festival was extremely lively, and Yuki discovered that there were some hot air balloons flying around in the sky, made in the shape of the heads of various small animals.Since the game world is built based on his information database, nine out of ten the man who controls the hot air balloon is the head of the drama department that Bingying mentioned.
As if responding to his guess, a huge hot air balloon floated over the heads of the two of them, dropping rose petals, and the originally ordinary tree-lined path was rendered romantic.The hilarious music is isolated by layers of trees, only the sound of their footsteps on the stone path and the chirping of birds.
Sena walked a little faster, the girl was indeed much smaller, and he could easily see the hair accessories pinned on top of her head, and the curled, slightly curly hair.Yuki couldn't help but think of a night in early summer half a year ago, when he secretly went to watch a Knights Fashion Show. After the event, he rarely took the initiative to say hello to Sena. The man looked a little tired, and he didn't have the usual excessive enthusiasm. He held his hand tightly and insisted on going home together.Sena always seems to be used to walking in front of Yuki, as if this can protect him from any accidents and dangers.
But Yuki didn't want to do this, he hoped that one day he could become as good as that person, and he wanted to appreciate the scenery that would be blocked by Sena together.
When he was about to walk to the outdoor playground, Sena looked back at Yuki and suddenly laughed.You Mu was baffled by her smile, and before he could ask, the other party had already tiptoed to touch his hair.
"A flower fell on her head, You Jun was too careless." She lifted the rose petals with a smile, and brought the crimson petals close to her lips, as if kissing her.
"However, You Jun is so beautiful, Dai Hua will not violate the agreement, by the way, why don't we go to the flower shop to have a look."
Youmu looked at her silently, his heart beating a little fast, if the system set a player's intimacy display slot, then he might have already upgraded his favorability.
The two walked around the stalls in the open space, and Youmu also completed a few small tasks of shooting and ringing, which is not a problem for game masters.He gave the doll he won to Sena, and the other party put the cat ear headdress he bought on his head, and took a photo with a satisfied face, saying that You Jun is the cutest.
Seeing that Sena had fun and fulfilled the task perfectly, let's just wear it like this, Yuki thought helplessly, but he didn't realize that he was a little happy.
Izumi Sena had no interest in the divination room, which is a fixed link that is popular with girls.But just when they were about to pass by, the system updated You Mu with a message, reminding them that they could do a divination.So, the two walked into the small black room that was casually decorated, facing the curious and envious eyes of countless girls.
The drowsy person lying behind the desk was actually Rinzuki Sakuma, and it was also a sex-changed version.After seeing the fortune teller's face, Sena began to complain, complaining that this place is unreliable.The black-haired girl who was disturbed from her sleep was a little impatient, looked lazily at the visitor, and said abruptly, "Kose, if you are not honest, you will be in trouble."
You Muzhen was confused, he didn't see the fleeting haze in Sena's eyes beside him, he only heard the other party's rebuttal with certainty: "You Jun and I are in the same mind!"
Sakuma was noncommittal, and handed out a pair of bracelets woven with red thread.
"It's about to close the stall, and the props haven't been delivered yet, so I'll do you a favor and accept it as a friend."
Seinaquan was speechless, took the bracelet, and offered to put it on for Yuki.
When the sun was setting, the school festival was coming to an end. The two walked against the flow of people and walked to the activity area on the top floor. There were not many stalls, and the most conspicuous one was the haunted house at the end of the corridor.
The system updates the task again: {Walk with Izumi Sena back to the haunted house. }
He asked Sena if he wanted to try his courage, and the other party seemed a little reluctant, but before Yuki changed his mind, Sena put on a smiling face and took his hand, saying, "It's really troublesome~ I won't do it without my sister accompanying You Jun." Dare to visit the haunted house, then let's go together."
The moment he walked into the haunted house, a strange feeling flashed in You Mu's heart.This was the first time since he played the game that he felt really uneasy. He couldn't help holding Sena's hand, and was startled by the other's cold body temperature.
Gotta get out there as soon as possible and finish this nasty task, he thought, picking up his pace.
But the strange thing is that the two walked all the way along the sign, but they couldn't see the exit for a long time, and they didn't even meet other students who were playing.The air conditioner in the room is too high, the dark and gloomy set boards are constantly shaking by the wind, there is not even a scary staff member on the road, at most it is a rubber broken hand or eyeball thrown on the ground, and later even cheap The props and road signs are gone, and there is only a deep path with no end in sight.
You Muzhen looked back cautiously, and sure enough, the way he came had been engulfed in darkness.His palms were sweating, this was the only world where girls could be attacked, but it turned out to be a horror puzzle game in the end.
"Quan, Quansang, we may..."
"Damn it." Senaizumi finished it calmly.
You Mu cheered himself up in his heart. Although the immersive atmosphere was too creepy, it was still a game after all. Since it was a game, he had the confidence to get it done.
"It's okay, we can definitely go out. Quan Sang and I don't want to be separated." He said, walking ahead.
A pink heart came out from behind You Mu, dangled in front of him, and then filled the long-lost system favorability gauge.Although it was a bit of a drama, Yumu also relaxed a lot because of it.
His eyes gradually got used to the darkness, and he began to see things around him clearly. This was a dilapidated and abandoned school building, full of dilapidated teaching equipment, wreckage of tables and chairs, and a lot of glass shards.
Fortunately, the game is a bit conscientious, and the props that can be picked up all emit light, which is very conspicuous in the dark.From time to time, a few ghosts with teeth and claws emerged from the darkness, but they were all afraid of the bracelet given by Shuojian Linyue, and they dared not approach it.
The two investigated while walking, and also got an old flashlight and two batteries. Although the light was dim, it was better than nothing.Yumu quickly read all the manuscripts he got by the light. This old school building seems to be an independent space sandwiched between the Yin and Yang worlds. As long as you defeat the ghost who created this space, you can return to the normal world.
The result of struggling to read the long text was a headache, Yuki massaged his temples, trying to keep himself awake.
Yuki looked at the props they collected, including dusty hair accessories, a makeup mirror with missing corners, and badly worn amulets, all of which are things girls would use.In addition, there are some shiny broken gems, Sena is afraid that Yuki will scratch his hands, so he insists on wrapping them with a handkerchief.Even though they were only lined with silk, and illuminated by the flashlight, the fragments shone like the finest gems.
Experience tells Youmu that this is probably an important prop.He tried to put the pieces back together, but nearly cut his hand.Senaquan was angry and distressed, and ordered him to obediently hold up the flashlight and put it together by himself.
After a crisp game sound effect and light effect, the fragments lying in Sena's palm synthesized into an intact drop-shaped gemstone, with a warm luster, and even the ghosts hiding nearby retreated half a meter in horror.
Yuki admired Sena's dexterity in surprise, but Sena Izumi, who always loves to listen to his praise, was indifferent this time, just staring at the gem thoughtfully.
"According to the map in the note, if you walk a little further, you will meet that ghost."
Youmu said in a low voice, for fear of alarming the final boss.Perhaps due to the influence of the depressive environment, he started to have a headache again, and the more he recalled the contents of the manuscript, the more intense the pain.
Sena nodded absently, and pulled Yuki's hand tied with the red string, trying to tie the gemstone to the bracelet.
Youmu felt a heartwarming warmth, he knew that the other party wanted to give him all the amulets, for fear that he would be hurt in the slightest.Even if Sena Izumi is not his familiar brother or senior, but just a simulated character who has read the information, his desire to protect Yuki is the same.
"It's okay, I have these props, and I can always deal with the boss. This gem is very important, so please keep it safe." He put the gem back into Sena's palm, paused before speaking:
"Just once, I want to protect Quansang too."
Sena stared at him fixedly, and to Yuki's surprise, she didn't blush or be intoxicated, nor did her favorability increase, on the contrary, Sena even looked a little sad.
A biting cold wind rose for no reason, and the ghosts wandering around suddenly screamed and fled in all directions.The two looked in the direction of the wind, and a figure wrapped in thick fog approached slowly.
You Muzhen subconsciously cast the light of the flashlight over, and the moment he saw the ghost's face clearly, his blood froze.
It was his own face.
The ghost wandered towards them, he didn't wear glasses, his untrimmed forehead hair hung in front of his eyes, and the green pupils behind the hair tips were dim, he walked mechanically, as if he didn't see The two moved forward slowly.The dense fog surrounding the ghost began to gather towards Yuki as if consciously, Sena Izumi shouted to pull him away, but was bounced away by an invisible force.
The moment he inhaled the white mist, a large piece of strange memory flooded into Youmu's brain, which was his own memory in this world.It turned out that he was a fledgling onmyoji, because of an accident he fell into the gap between Yin and Yang, and the pain of being unable to escape or die made him create this fictional space, trying to fabricate another self to 'kill' him.Those intermittent notes are also written by him, in order to guide the player Youmu to kill the ghost smoothly.
The appearance of Kanase Naizumi made the space unexpectedly distorted. For unknown reasons, she also entered the gap and lived here as if nothing had happened.
The props they collected along the way were all gifts from Yuki to Sena before, but the gem was given to Yuki by Sena.Those items full of memories are scattered throughout the space, making this place no longer just Yuki's cage, but the world of him and Izumi Sena.
After learning the truth, Yuki sat down on the ground.The ghost drifted away, and didn't pay attention to them at all. Maybe the thick fog was the consciousness of Yuki himself, and the ghost was just a shell.
"Yu-kun!" Sena hurried over to check if Yuki was injured.
"Quan Sang, I know everything."
Youmu said sullenly, at the moment his mind was in a mess, he almost forgot that he was still in the game.This was the first time he felt at a loss, he didn't know how to take the next step, and he didn't even know how to face Sena Izumi in front of him.
As if aware of his mood, the system finally gave a choice branch:
{break gem}
{Leave it to Izumi Sena to decide}
He stared blankly at the cold virtual strings. No matter which one he chooses, they will inevitably be destroyed. Could it be that the information and props he collected are not complete enough, and the task is not perfect enough, so he cannot trigger a good ending?
Yuki lowered his head in frustration, not even noticing that the options this time were time-limited, the countdown ended when he hesitated, and the system automatically selected a certain branch.
"Do you know why I came here?" Sena Izumi asked.
Yuki shook his head.
"Because I failed to protect You Jun, you fell into this gap. I came here to bring you back."
Sena touched Yuki's cheek reluctantly, stood up and took a few steps away.She stared deeply at Yuki with a gentle smile, as if they were not ending up in the eerie abandoned school building, but holding hands in the school garden for a date.
"I was already prepared to be hated by You Jun, but you are always a kind child, and you are still willing to let me stay by your side, even though I have long been unqualified..."
"No, I never hated Izumi-san, not even ghosts!" Yuki stood up in a panic, he saw Sena raised her hand, and the gem in her hand was shining.
Hearing Yuki's words, Sena Izumi smiled contentedly.
"Thank you. But you should go back. Goodbye, my favorite You Jun."
The girl resolutely shattered the gem into pieces, glaring white light gushed out from the fragments, Yuki could no longer see Sena's face clearly, his vision became pale and empty, and when he opened his eyes, he had already returned to that reincarnation General fork in the road.
The light curtain reflecting the girl's figure became clear before his eyes. Unlike the previous silhouettes, this Sena was smiling, as if she had fulfilled her long-cherished wish.
You Mu couldn't help but look a few more times before moving towards the next door.
【7】
This time it was a deep mountain valley.
Youmu stepped on the soft soil covered with green grass, not far away was the gurgling water, the tall forests in the mountains blocked out the sky, only the sunlight sprinkled from the gaps in the leaves, and only insects and birds were singing in the quiet mountains.
He looked around and found that there were many magical creatures in this world-translucent creatures suspended in mid-air, emitting tiny lights like fireflies, worms of various shapes, like alien creatures imagined by the wildest children.
The butterfly tattoo on the back of the hand emits light beams to illuminate the floating creatures closest to Youmu, and the system lists a paragraph of explanatory text to explain this world view.It turns out that these wonderful luminous bodies are collectively called "worms", and they are a special species that coexists with human beings just like birds and beasts.
Yuki looked around curiously, he felt that the angle of view was a bit short, he looked down at himself, and it really shrank.He hurriedly pulled out his own information, there are very few profiles of Youmu in this world, he only knows that he has turned back to ten years old, wearing plain sleeves, wandering alone in the mountains.
There are no items in the butterfly menu, not even a map.He didn't know where he should go now, maybe he should go down the mountain to look for the village, but it was too bad, he could just find Sena.
Yuki was thinking while walking, but he didn't realize that he was completely used to the setting that every world must have Izumi Sena.When he passed those floating worms, the wriggling luminous body flew towards him like iron nails meeting a magnet, circling around him.At first, Youmu felt it was a novelty, until a few worms with sharp spikes tried to pierce his skin and penetrate into his body, and the stinging pain made Youmu scream, then he realized the danger of the insects.
{Mission update: Escape from the swarm. }
You Mu had no choice but to run wildly, the worms left behind by him couldn't catch up, but there were more worms waiting in front of him.Soon he was entangled with more and more insects, and those floating objects that looked light and floating together became extremely heavy, making him unable to breathe.The child's body couldn't bear the load. He fell to the ground, had difficulty breathing, and couldn't even get up.
The blood bar above his head showing that the HP had bottomed out, his vision changed from blood red to gray, he thought he was going to start all over again.
Suddenly, the ground beneath him trembled violently, a mound rose from the grass in front of Youmu, and a white snake thicker than his thigh broke out of the ground, carrying damp water vapor and cold mountain wind, the whole mountain shook for a while Get up, like a mountain god angry.The insects that had stuck to his body and burrowed into his flesh were blown to pieces, and Yumu's fingers gripped the soil tightly so as not to be swept away by the wind blown by the white snake.
After an unknown amount of time, the mountain stopped shaking, and everything returned to the original silence. Youmu opened his eyes cautiously, and saw a young man standing in front of him, looking down at him from above.
"Where did you come from? This is a forbidden area. Didn't your lord tell you?"
Youmu got up, patted the mud off his body, and looked up at the boy.Although the other party didn't know him, he knew who that person was.
{Sena Izumi.Basilisk.Intimacy: ? ? ? }
It seems that the giant white snake just now was transformed by Sena, and the dark blue markings on his face are also slightly glowing like mana, obviously it's not some other kind of makeup.
Yuki wanted to speak, but couldn't make a sound.He thought that the system would jump out of the branch option again, but this time there was nothing.
Sena looked at him impatiently: "You can't talk?"
You Mu felt bitter, he wanted to refute, but no sound could be squeezed out of his throat, as if someone had pressed the mute button.It's so painful that he can't say it, he thought aggrievedly, and lowered his head.From Sena Izumi's point of view, it was as if he had bullied a child.
"Super annoying..." Sena couldn't help but take Yuki's hand and lead him to the depths of the mountain forest.
Even if the snake demon transforms into a human being, its body temperature is still very low.Yuki's hand was held by him, as if wrapped in icy snow.The fresh height difference made Yuki couldn't help raising his head to look at Sena, the man was wearing a very long earring, which would shine silver in the sun, and it would make a pleasant crisp sound when shaking.As expected of a model who looks good in anything, even such a strange outfit can be interpreted by him.
Perhaps Yuki's gaze was too straightforward, Sena was silent for a while, but couldn't stand it anymore.
"Look at what."
You Mu was stunned for a moment, he felt that he was too rude, so he quickly turned his eyes away.But as soon as Sena finished speaking, she realized that the other party couldn't answer at all, and she couldn't help but feel guilty, and because of face, she couldn't say any soft words of comfort, so she could only lead him to continue walking.
When Sena was around, those floating insects kept away from Yuki.Unexpectedly, the snake demon still has such power, You Mu only felt it was a pity, otherwise he really wanted to ask more about how it feels to be a snake.
Sena took Yuki to a certain cave on the top of the mountain. This was obviously his home. It looked unattractive from the outside, but the inside was warm and delicately decorated, and it was hard to see the original appearance of the cave.Youmu looked around strangely, there were many bottles and jars on the wooden and bamboo furniture, some insects curled up in the liquid, and some plant specimens, all of which were magical creatures that could not be seen in the real world.Youmu stood on tiptoe, lying in front of the cupboard looking dazzled, suddenly someone picked him up in the air, and before he could scream, he fell into a cold embrace.
Sena sat on the edge of the bed, put Yuki on her lap, patted his face, and ordered like a dentist: "Look up, open your mouth."
You Mu obeyed obediently, wondering if this person really wants to see the dentist?Are those specimens on the cabinet...
Just thinking wildly, Sena has already diagnosed.
"Looks like a 'worm' got in and ate your voice."
Youmu sat innocently on his lap, it was cold and comfortable, like a water cushion bought in summer.
"Stay here for a few days first, don't run around." Sena said, walked to the counter and began to make medicines with tinkling bells, Yuki didn't run away, found a small stool to sit on, and leaned back quietly look at him.Sena felt uncomfortable, so he had to talk to him.
"Can you write? Tell me what's your name?"
You Mu jumped up happily, dipped his fingers in some water, and wrote "You" stroke by stroke on the rock wall. Before he finished writing, the impatient snake demon said to himself: "Okay!" , You Jun, I send you a task to pick some grass of this shape in front of the house."
Yuki nodded congenially, and just ran two steps away when Sena brought him back and stuffed a strange leaf into his mouth.
"With this in your mouth, the worms won't dare to approach you."
After that, there were several tasks of picking herbs that were difficult to amuse children. Yuki did it quickly and well. When Sena Izumi praised him, he raised his small face and smiled brightly, which made the snake demon who wanted to end the topic speechless for a while. Touch his head more often to show encouragement.
Although unable to speak, the two days I spent in the cave were very happy. The snake demon Senaizumi spoke a bit harshly, but was very gentle to the young Yuki, always paying attention to him, for fear that he would fall and get hurt and be chased by insects.During the rest of the first night, Sena left the cave, leaving Yuki lying on the bed alone.Although he is not a ten-year-old child at heart, sleeping alone on the top of the mountain in the dead of night is still a little uneasy.Youmu, who hadn't fallen asleep counting sheep, ran out of the cave in the dark, but was startled by the huge black shadow cast from the top of the mountain.
Under the moonlight, a huge silver-white serpent coiled around the rock on the top of the mountain, sleeping peacefully.The snake tail is across the cave entrance, like a faithful guard guarding Youmu sleeping in the cave.He suddenly calmed down, and ran to the entrance of the cave with the thin blanket that Sena specially bought for him, leaning on the cold snake tail, curled up in a ball, stroking the wide snake scales with his palm, and said in his heart, good night, Quansang .
On the second night, Yuki thought that Sena was going to go out again and change back to sleep, but he wandered around the entrance of the cave for a long time, the ground was almost stepped out of a circle by him, and he still didn't take a step.
Yuki sat obediently on the bed and looked at him, Sena glanced at him hesitantly, and Yuki immediately smiled sweetly at him.He thought to himself, a child acting like a baby is really a unique weapon. If the young Quansang smiled at him like this, I am afraid that he would be willing to do whatever the other party said.
The cold snake demon froze for a moment, then walked back to the bed stiffly.
"If you catch a cold outside again, you will cause me trouble."
Yuki lowered his head, looking aggrieved.
"I won't leave, this is my home." The haughty snake demon had no choice but to say so.
Yuki laughed happily.
On the fourth day after taking Sena's special medicine, Yuki could speak.
He discovered this early in the morning. Although it was a little hoarse, it did make a sound.The first thing Yuki thought of was to tell Sena that he ran out of the cave happily, but he didn't see the familiar giant snake, nor the boy who turned into a human. He found a place around the cave where Sena might stay over and over again, but there was no trace of that person.
He returned to the entrance of the cave, overlooking the lush mountains and streams.Suddenly, a small mountain not far away erupted with a loud noise like a volcanic eruption, the ground shook, and a cluster of thick strange shadows emerged from the mountain pass and shot straight into the sky.It looked like a black giant python, but it was a torrent formed by countless worms.Such a spectacle is magnificent and terrifying. He was looking at it in a daze, and suddenly a system message appeared above his head.
{Mission Update: Find Sena Izumi. }
-TBC-

Yuki admired Sena's dexterity in surprise, but Sena Izumi, who always loves to listen to his praise, was indifferent this time, just staring at the gem thoughtfully.
"According to the map in the note, if you walk a little further, you will meet that ghost."
Youmu said in a low voice, for fear of alarming the final boss.Perhaps due to the influence of the depressive environment, he started to have a headache again, and the more he recalled the contents of the manuscript, the more intense the pain.
Sena nodded absently, and pulled Yuki's hand tied with the red string, trying to tie the gemstone to the bracelet.
Youmu felt a heartwarming warmth, he knew that the other party wanted to give him all the amulets, for fear that he would be hurt in the slightest.Even if Sena Izumi is not his familiar brother or senior, but just a simulated character who has read the information, his desire to protect Yuki is the same.
"It's okay, I have these props, and I can always deal with the boss. This gem is very important, so please keep it safe." He put the gem back into Sena's palm, paused before speaking:
"Just once, I want to protect Quansang too."
Sena stared at him fixedly, and to Yuki's surprise, she didn't blush or be intoxicated, nor did her favorability increase, on the contrary, Sena even looked a little sad.
A biting cold wind rose for no reason, and the ghosts wandering around suddenly screamed and fled in all directions.The two looked in the direction of the wind, and a figure wrapped in thick fog approached slowly.
You Muzhen subconsciously cast the light of the flashlight over, and the moment he saw the ghost's face clearly, his blood froze.
It was his own face.
The ghost wandered towards them, he didn't wear glasses, his untrimmed forehead hair hung in front of his eyes, and the green pupils behind the hair tips were dim, he walked mechanically, as if he didn't see The two moved forward slowly.The dense fog surrounding the ghost began to gather towards Yuki as if consciously, Sena Izumi shouted to pull him away, but was bounced away by an invisible force.
The moment he inhaled the white mist, a large piece of strange memory flooded into Youmu's brain, which was his own memory in this world.It turned out that he was a fledgling onmyoji, because of an accident he fell into the gap between Yin and Yang, and the pain of being unable to escape or die made him create this fictional space, trying to fabricate another self to 'kill' him.Those intermittent notes are also written by him, in order to guide the player Youmu to kill the ghost smoothly.
The appearance of Kanase Naizumi made the space unexpectedly distorted. For unknown reasons, she also entered the gap and lived here as if nothing had happened.
The props they collected along the way were all gifts from Yuki to Sena before, but the gem was given to Yuki by Sena.Those items full of memories are scattered throughout the space, making this place no longer just Yuki's cage, but the world of him and Izumi Sena.
After learning the truth, Yuki sat down on the ground.The ghost drifted away, and didn't pay attention to them at all. Maybe the thick fog was the consciousness of Yuki himself, and the ghost was just a shell.
"Yu-kun!" Sena hurried over to check if Yuki was injured.
"Quan Sang, I know everything."
Youmu said sullenly, at the moment his mind was in a mess, he almost forgot that he was still in the game.This was the first time he felt at a loss, he didn't know how to take the next step, and he didn't even know how to face Sena Izumi in front of him.
As if aware of his mood, the system finally gave a choice branch:
{break gem}
{Leave it to Izumi Sena to decide}
He stared blankly at the cold virtual strings. No matter which one he chooses, they will inevitably be destroyed. Could it be that the information and props he collected are not complete enough, and the task is not perfect enough, so he cannot trigger a good ending?
Yuki lowered his head in frustration, not even noticing that the options this time were time-limited, the countdown ended when he hesitated, and the system automatically selected a certain branch.
"Do you know why I came here?" Sena Izumi asked.
Yuki shook his head.
"Because I failed to protect You Jun, you fell into this gap. I came here to bring you back."
Sena touched Yuki's cheek reluctantly, stood up and took a few steps away.She stared deeply at Yuki with a gentle smile, as if they were not ending up in the eerie abandoned school building, but holding hands in the school garden for a date.
"I was already prepared to be hated by You Jun, but you are always a kind child, and you are still willing to let me stay by your side, even though I have long been unqualified..."
"No, I never hated Izumi-san, not even ghosts!" Yuki stood up in a panic, he saw Sena raised her hand, and the gem in her hand was shining.
Hearing Yuki's words, Sena Izumi smiled contentedly.
"Thank you. But you should go back. Goodbye, my favorite You Jun."
The girl resolutely shattered the gem into pieces, glaring white light gushed out from the fragments, Yuki could no longer see Sena's face clearly, his vision became pale and empty, and when he opened his eyes, he had already returned to that reincarnation General fork in the road.
The light curtain reflecting the girl's figure became clear before his eyes. Unlike the previous silhouettes, this Sena was smiling, as if she had fulfilled her long-cherished wish.
You Mu couldn't help but look a few more times before moving towards the next door.
【7】
This time it was a deep mountain valley.
Youmu stepped on the soft soil covered with green grass, not far away was the gurgling water, the tall forests in the mountains blocked out the sky, only the sunlight sprinkled from the gaps in the leaves, and only insects and birds were singing in the quiet mountains.
He looked around and found that there were many magical creatures in this world-translucent creatures suspended in mid-air, emitting tiny lights like fireflies, worms of various shapes, like alien creatures imagined by the wildest children.
The butterfly tattoo on the back of the hand emits light beams to illuminate the floating creatures closest to Youmu, and the system lists a paragraph of explanatory text to explain this world view.It turns out that these wonderful luminous bodies are collectively called "worms", and they are a special species that coexists with human beings just like birds and beasts.
Yuki looked around curiously, he felt that the angle of view was a bit short, he looked down at himself, and it really shrank.He hurriedly pulled out his own information, there are very few profiles of Youmu in this world, he only knows that he has turned back to ten years old, wearing plain sleeves, wandering alone in the mountains.
There are no items in the butterfly menu, not even a map.He didn't know where he should go now, maybe he should go down the mountain to look for the village, but it was too bad, he could just find Sena.
Yuki was thinking while walking, but he didn't realize that he was completely used to the setting that every world must have Izumi Sena.When he passed those floating worms, the wriggling luminous body flew towards him like iron nails meeting a magnet, circling around him.At first, Youmu felt it was a novelty, until a few worms with sharp spikes tried to pierce his skin and penetrate into his body, and the stinging pain made Youmu scream, then he realized the danger of the insects.
{Mission update: Escape from the swarm. }
You Mu had no choice but to run wildly, the worms left behind by him couldn't catch up, but there were more worms waiting in front of him.Soon he was entangled with more and more insects, and those floating objects that looked light and floating together became extremely heavy, making him unable to breathe.The child's body couldn't bear the load. He fell to the ground, had difficulty breathing, and couldn't even get up.
The blood bar above his head showing that the HP had bottomed out, his vision changed from blood red to gray, he thought he was going to start all over again.
Suddenly, the ground beneath him trembled violently, a mound rose from the grass in front of Youmu, and a white snake thicker than his thigh broke out of the ground, carrying damp water vapor and cold mountain wind, the whole mountain shook for a while Get up, like a mountain god angry.The insects that had stuck to his body and burrowed into his flesh were blown to pieces, and Yumu's fingers gripped the soil tightly so as not to be swept away by the wind blown by the white snake.
After an unknown amount of time, the mountain stopped shaking, and everything returned to the original silence. Youmu opened his eyes cautiously, and saw a young man standing in front of him, looking down at him from above.
"Where did you come from? This is a forbidden area. Didn't your lord tell you?"
Youmu got up, patted the mud off his body, and looked up at the boy.Although the other party didn't know him, he knew who that person was.
{Sena Izumi.Basilisk.Intimacy: ? ? ? }
It seems that the giant white snake just now was transformed by Sena, and the dark blue markings on his face are also slightly glowing like mana, obviously it's not some other kind of makeup.
Yuki wanted to speak, but couldn't make a sound.He thought that the system would jump out of the branch option again, but this time there was nothing.
Sena looked at him impatiently: "You can't talk?"
You Mu felt bitter, he wanted to refute, but no sound could be squeezed out of his throat, as if someone had pressed the mute button.It's so painful that he can't say it, he thought aggrievedly, and lowered his head.From Sena Izumi's point of view, it was as if he had bullied a child.
"Super annoying..." Sena couldn't help but take Yuki's hand and lead him to the depths of the mountain forest.
Even if the snake demon transforms into a human being, its body temperature is still very low.Yuki's hand was held by him, as if wrapped in icy snow.The fresh height difference made Yuki couldn't help raising his head to look at Sena, the man was wearing a very long earring, which would shine silver in the sun, and it would make a pleasant crisp sound when shaking.As expected of a model who looks good in anything, even such a strange outfit can be interpreted by him.
Perhaps Yuki's gaze was too straightforward, Sena was silent for a while, but couldn't stand it anymore.
"Look at what."
You Mu was stunned for a moment, he felt that he was too rude, so he quickly turned his eyes away.But as soon as Sena finished speaking, she realized that the other party couldn't answer at all, and she couldn't help but feel guilty, and because of face, she couldn't say any soft words of comfort, so she could only lead him to continue walking.
When Sena was around, those floating insects kept away from Yuki.Unexpectedly, the snake demon still has such power, You Mu only felt it was a pity, otherwise he really wanted to ask more about how it feels to be a snake.
Sena took Yuki to a certain cave on the top of the mountain. This was obviously his home. It looked unattractive from the outside, but the inside was warm and delicately decorated, and it was hard to see the original appearance of the cave.Youmu looked around strangely, there were many bottles and jars on the wooden and bamboo furniture, some insects curled up in the liquid, and some plant specimens, all of which were magical creatures that could not be seen in the real world.Youmu stood on tiptoe, lying in front of the cupboard looking dazzled, suddenly someone picked him up in the air, and before he could scream, he fell into a cold embrace.
Sena sat on the edge of the bed, put Yuki on her lap, patted his face, and ordered like a dentist: "Look up, open your mouth."
You Mu obeyed obediently, wondering if this person really wants to see the dentist?Are those specimens on the cabinet...
Just thinking wildly, Sena has already diagnosed.
"Looks like a 'worm' got in and ate your voice."
Youmu sat innocently on his lap, it was cold and comfortable, like a water cushion bought in summer.
"Stay here for a few days first, don't run around." Sena said, walked to the counter and began to make medicines with tinkling bells, Yuki didn't run away, found a small stool to sit on, and leaned back quietly look at him.Sena felt uncomfortable, so he had to talk to him.
"Can you write? Tell me what's your name?"
You Mu jumped up happily, dipped his fingers in some water, and wrote "You" stroke by stroke on the rock wall. Before he finished writing, the impatient snake demon said to himself: "Okay!" , You Jun, I send you a task to pick some grass of this shape in front of the house."
Yuki nodded congenially, and just ran two steps away when Sena brought him back and stuffed a strange leaf into his mouth.
"With this in your mouth, the worms won't dare to approach you."
After that, there were several tasks of picking herbs that were difficult to amuse children. Yuki did it quickly and well. When Sena Izumi praised him, he raised his small face and smiled brightly, which made the snake demon who wanted to end the topic speechless for a while. Touch his head more often to show encouragement.
Although unable to speak, the two days I spent in the cave were very happy. The snake demon Senaizumi spoke a bit harshly, but was very gentle to the young Yuki, always paying attention to him, for fear that he would fall and get hurt and be chased by insects.During the rest of the first night, Sena left the cave, leaving Yuki lying on the bed alone.Although he is not a ten-year-old child at heart, sleeping alone on the top of the mountain in the dead of night is still a little uneasy.Youmu, who hadn't fallen asleep counting sheep, ran out of the cave in the dark, but was startled by the huge black shadow cast from the top of the mountain.
Under the moonlight, a huge silver-white serpent coiled around the rock on the top of the mountain, sleeping peacefully.The snake tail is across the cave entrance, like a faithful guard guarding Youmu sleeping in the cave.He suddenly calmed down, and ran to the entrance of the cave with the thin blanket that Sena specially bought for him, leaning on the cold snake tail, curled up in a ball, stroking the wide snake scales with his palm, and said in his heart, good night, Quansang .
On the second night, Yuki thought that Sena was going to go out again and change back to sleep, but he wandered around the entrance of the cave for a long time, the ground was almost stepped out of a circle by him, and he still didn't take a step.
Yuki sat obediently on the bed and looked at him, Sena glanced at him hesitantly, and Yuki immediately smiled sweetly at him.He thought to himself, a child acting like a baby is really a unique weapon. If the young Quansang smiled at him like this, I am afraid that he would be willing to do whatever the other party said.
The cold snake demon froze for a moment, then walked back to the bed stiffly.
"If you catch a cold outside again, you will cause me trouble."
Yuki lowered his head, looking aggrieved.
"I won't leave, this is my home." The haughty snake demon had no choice but to say so.
Yuki laughed happily.
On the fourth day after taking Sena's special medicine, Yuki could speak.
He discovered this early in the morning. Although it was a little hoarse, it did make a sound.The first thing Yuki thought of was to tell Sena that he ran out of the cave happily, but he didn't see the familiar giant snake, nor the boy who turned into a human. He found a place around the cave where Sena might stay over and over again, but there was no trace of that person.
He returned to the entrance of the cave, overlooking the lush mountains and streams.Suddenly, a small mountain not far away erupted with a loud noise like a volcanic eruption, the ground shook, and a cluster of thick strange shadows emerged from the mountain pass and shot straight into the sky.It looked like a black giant python, but it was a torrent formed by countless worms.Such a spectacle is magnificent and terrifying. He was looking at it in a daze, and suddenly a system message appeared above his head.
