I only have one year to live, so I must become a legendary horse girl!

It seems then that it is time to make a decision.

Of course, it doesn't have to be a life-and-death fight, but in short, for some reason, Megumi McQueen suddenly felt a huge wave of emotion in her heart, and her whole mind was left with only one belief.

At least in this match, I must defeat Phantom Liuge, prove myself, and gain Sister Songge's approval. More importantly...

If I'm here to compete, then I can't lose.

"Don't worry, Sister Songge, I will...win them all."

"Ah, um, okay, okay."

Gotham Carol was a bit too surprised. She had just sensed Phantom Liuge's surging will and wanted to cheer her sister up in an unconventional way, but now it seemed...

Is the effect a little too good?

Mejiro McQueen had originally shown obvious nervousness, but now it was completely different. Gotham Carol could even see his sister's tail swinging violently out of the corner of his eye. She was shaking her ears and even rolling her paws in a bit too excitedly.

This isn't just a nervous expression; it's simply a boiling blood-thirst performance, with the person ready to go into battle and kill the enemy at any time!

Even if it was burning in the physical sense, Gotham Carol didn't think it would be strange at all.

However, it seems that the result is good, and Gotham Carol’s own ideas have been fully achieved, so from this perspective, it is a good thing no matter what... a good thing!

Gotham Carol nodded, and she looked at her sister Manchester Tea House again, but she also met those inexplicably strong eyes that flashed like flames. Before the two sisters had time to say anything, they heard the voice calling their names on the radio.

Manchester City Tea House didn't say much, she just nodded slightly and walked onto the field.

This time, I will use victory to prove my reliability and authority as a sister...!

For some reason, Gotham Carol heard this kind of declaration that only belonged to their sister's voice.

Old bastard number one...if you keep imitating my sister's words in my ear, I'll punch you and send you to the Sanzu River to be your ex character--!

[Hahaha, but how do you know this isn't what your sister really thinks?]

[Okay, okay, but… this is really fun, whether it’s the teahouse, you, the little sister next to you, or the little thing I almost scared away, I’ve decided, this game is okay for me to come out and have some fun, right?]

[It's okay if you say no, I've decided this.]

Zhou Ri Ningjing said this, she didn't even give Gotham Carol a chance to refuse, she just quietly turned into smoke and disappeared in the ears of Gotham Carol who was standing there.

This old guy, number one... I think you want to eat the purple pill.

Gotham Carol said this in her heart, but she had no reason to stop it.

It's simple, it can't be stopped, and there's no need to.

Old guy number one...Sunday Tranquility, the kind of legend so famous that even those who once knew nothing about the world know his name.

In that case, being able to have a match with an old guy like this would be what you want, right?

If Ning Jing wins on Sunday, I'll let her sleep with my hair in her arms... Anyway, she can't do it, right?

Gotham Carol laughed at the old man's weakness in his heart, and then stood at the edge of the contestant channel and peeked at the sky outside.

The speed of the appearance was a little slower than that of a normal competition, but only a little. Although there were several horse girls in front of Gotham Carol, the distance from the contestant channel to the appearance stage was only a short distance. For the horse girls who could walk onto this stage, it was not a difficult task.

Soon, Gotham Carol heard the voice coming from the commentary booth, and the thunderous cheers that echoed between the world who were holding their breath, as her steady footsteps stepped on the grass.

"Now, approaching us amidst cheers, is the demon king who has dominated an entire era and year, a figure who is so famous throughout this year's ura tournament that she's almost undeniably known. She's the one who brought us something we'll never forget, destined to have her own page in history. Let's call out her name, shall we?!"

"Her name is..."

"Gotham Carol!"

Obviously, the commentator's emotions were the most intense. Generally speaking, people who need to set the pace need to be more strict and fair. At least they should not express their bias in such a direct and stimulating way.

But only when facing Gotham Anthem did the two people in the commentary room fully demonstrate their enthusiasm and passion.

How should I describe it…? Was this like conquering the person who was least likely to be conquered by my own performance?

Hehehe, this feels pretty good.

Gotham Carol high-fived her fans and supporters one by one, and she slowly walked past the audience before heading to the stage.

In fact, there was no one she was familiar with in the audience this time.

On the one hand, Gao Fengjie and Aldan Jie said that they see each other every day, and it is not a particularly important competition like the Japan Cup, so there is no need to show up in such a situation and add burden to Song Ge.

On the other hand, this is actually the only channel for Carol's fans to access Carol, so for this reason, there is no need for them to compete for more in this regard.

However, what attracted Gotham Carol's attention was that she once again saw the horse girl with very strange pupils.

She smiled faintly and high-fived Gotham Carol, just like an ordinary fan, but this time in such a close contact, Gotham Carol saw completely different emotions in her eyes, or emotions that were completely different from those of the fans.

It was a burning desire, a desire to run together, gallop across the field, and then chop down Gotham's ode and ascend the throne as the new king.

How to describe it?

I remember her name was... Xingmu?

Ah, a horse girl I don't know, but if that's what you really want, then come and get it yourself.

Take these heavy and deep glories from me.

What if you get away?

Gotham Carol stood still on the stage. She looked towards the contestant passage and clearly saw a more popular horse girl behind her.

Miss Condor was in pretty good condition, but what concerned Gotham Carol the most was the strange mask on her face.

Speaking of which, Miss Kusagami Tobi and Tokugawa Shu finally did not go to this year's Arima Kinen. Will there be a chance next year?

Maybe there will be.

While Gotham Carol was stunned, Condor had already finished his appearance, and then stood beside Gotham Carol. She even greeted him in a low voice.

After all, they are a holding horse girl and an expedition horse girl, so the two people are in almost the same situation, and it seems that they can get along very happily.

However, Gotham Carol didn't have any such thoughts at the moment.

Because Mejiro McQueen has also walked out of the contestant channel.

When Gotham Anthem made its debut just now, it caused a roar of screams. Although Mejiro McQueen also caused quite a lot of enthusiasm, the atmosphere at the scene was obviously not that warm.

Or, for some reason, Gotham Carol felt that there was more to the cheers than just Megumi McQueen.

This emotion is not pure, but carries some additional emotions and premises that do not fall into the category of supporting McQueen.

Why?

Or why is Mejiro McQueen so popular at this time?

Of course, it was because of the victory parade she had with the Gotham Carols before, or rather, the victory parade where she was hugged around the waist one-sidedly.

Will this kind of thing affect McQueen...?

Gotham Carol is a little worried about this happening.

But under the gaze of Gotham Carol, Megumi McQueen walked forward with his head held high, not at all affected by such things.

She showed her full attitude, thoroughly displaying the pride that was unique to Mejiro McQueen.

Then, the two sisters looked at each other before going on stage.

Sister Songge, this time, I won’t lose to anyone.

Absolutely not, this is my response to you.

Chapter 144: Black Ghost from the Mud

Since Mebiro McQueen is so confident, what will Gotham Carol say?

She looked up at the sky silently, then raised the corners of her mouth.

What a nice day today.

And when the last Oguruma hat completed the parade to the spectator stand, the Arima Memorial, which attracted worldwide attention and was watched by the whole world, was finally coming to an end.

And Gotham Carol was the first one to walk down the stage among the whole audience, and then silently entered the gate.

Since there are so many people around me who want to have an all-out running duel with me, then no matter what, I can only focus more and give my best performance, right?

So what are the characteristics of Gotham Carol in its most complete state?

The Gotham Anthem was calling out to himself, or more precisely, to the self who had concentrated on trampling the stadium under his feet many years ago——!

Although Gotham Carol felt that he was the strongest in terms of both skills and experience, and was not inferior to any previous moment, but...

There is only one thing, only one thing that was once the Gotham Carol, or rather, the Dusk Song was far ahead of the Gotham Carol.

what is it then?

It's the mindset, the state of mind, the kind of flow state where you're completely immersed in it even before the game begins.

That is the "curse" and talent that belongs only to Bo Mu Liuge.

It's easy to understand, right? After all, the internal motivations that force the two people to run are completely different. What Gotham Carol has to do now is not that if they don't run, they will die "silently", but just to take steps to follow the ideas in their hearts.

So, in this regard, the former Bo Mu Liu Ge was obviously more powerful, right?

Amid the crisp sound of the gate closing, Gotham Carol slowly closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and communicated in her heart with the vicious monster that had not been awakened for a long time and was hungrily enjoying leaving others behind on the field.

But is Gotham Carol really just about awakening people?

When she opened her eyes again, Gotham Carol's state had completely sunk. She had no more expression, just maintained the most comfortable breathing, and then adjusted the posture when leaving the gate.

She was like a wild beast about to hunt, and as long as she found a split second, she would shoot the arrow and hit the bull's eye.

To be honest, Gotham Carol couldn't help but fantasize at the end about what would happen next if her former self, or Dusk Liuge, were in this game.

As expected, such a desperate escape will happen again, right?

However, even though she is said to be powerful, is it really impossible to defeat her?

The questions that I had thought about many years ago now gradually emerged from the folds of time as my thoughts became cold. After all, why did the "selfish" Bo Mu Liuge continue to feel guilty, and even have a trance-like flashback of not wanting to die at the final Arc de Triomphe?

At that time, what really drove Bo Mu Liuge to constantly escape from death and trample the world under his feet was really as simple as the obsession of not wanting to be forgotten?

"All the competitors have already entered the gates. It looks like another exciting race."

"Yes, the first one to enter the gate, as always, is our Gotham Carol contestant. But actually, something interesting happened. I heard that when uploading the registration photos, the staff seemed to have uploaded a very old photo. But, anyway, the owner of that photo should also be a Gotham Carol contestant, right? Even if she has another name."

"Ahem, okay. Anyway, our Gotham Carol contestants are ready. Along with the other horse girls, they're entering the gates. The Arima Kinen race is about to begin in good weather. This is the final major prize of the year, and in everyone's mind, it's probably the most prestigious race."

"So, today, Nakayama, today, you who have chosen all the supporters of the horsegirls you want to see running, cheer! For the end of this year, for the last grand event you can see this year, for..."

"For the horse girls who redefined glory this year, the Arima Memorial Tournament has begun, and the countdown has begun—!"

After all, it is the last big reward stage of the year, and the Arima Kinen is actually a game that does not emphasize competitiveness so much, and is more like a fan appreciation game, so the commentators did the opposite and did not say anything at this tense moment when the game was about to start.

They remained silent, and instead, it was the audience's enthusiastic cheers that completely ignited the atmosphere of the stadium.

The entire Zhongshan stadium seemed to be shaking violently—!

【red】

Gotham Anthem exhaled a breath of hot white mist. After all, even if one entered the flow state, it was only the mind that calmed down. The body would still uncontrollably adjust to a more appropriate state because of the upcoming rush.

Especially in the slight chill of December, Gotham Carol's body maintained an astonishing temperature at this moment!

However, at this moment, she was still stuck in thinking about the question just now.

After all, why did Bo Mu Liuge write "I love you" at the end of his life, words that are quite embarrassing to think about now?

Is this a lie?

【red】--

No, Gotham Carol doesn't think she is such a bad person that she would deceive others in such a way when she is about to die, especially what are the details that she has always been reluctant to admit?

She had already cried while writing in her diary a long time ago!

So, how could that be a lie?

Of course, that was not a lie; it was even completely true; it was the voice of Bo Mu Liu Ge.

So, what is the real reason that drives Bo Mu Liu Ge not to die, and what is the real reason that drives Gotham Carol to return to Japan and enter Mejiro Castle without any regrets and without any thoughts of escape or retreat?

It is what you can get, what you want to get, what you don’t want to lose, and what you want to respond to...

Love for the people around her, and the love given to her by the people around her...!

【green】--!!!!

"The competition has officially begun. The first one out of the gate... oh oh oh oh, she's appeared for the second time on the Japanese field, for the second time!!! The white-haired... the white-haired Gotham Carol, the legend returns, the legend has appeared on the field again, with those miraculous steps! The Gotham Carol contestant at gate number 11, her breakthrough steps are as swift as the wind and thunder, her great escape, her great escape has appeared again on the Japanese field, and once again in Zhongshan!"
