It was as if he was having a long, endless nightmare. In the dream, he kept running continuously, as if something terrible was chasing him.

He felt very tired when he woke up. Sometimes he was so tired that he couldn't even sleep without any consciousness, because the moment he closed his eyes, there was a terrible and sticky voice whispering in his ear.

——

No, you can't die...

You must fight for me forever.

The body that had been dismantled was kneaded back together by a strong force. The terrible curse spirit would not be as careful as it was with a jigsaw puzzle and put it back together piece by piece.

It was like treating clay to soften his broken body back together. Being treated so roughly, Yi Qiyi felt pain all over his body.

At first, he struggled and thought about committing suicide, but later on, because the severe pain of reshaping his body was unbearable, Yi Qi Yi Zhen, who knew that he would never die, could only numbly choose to live in such an ugly and dirty appearance.

Feeling the torture of endless time in the filthy and dark water.

The sunny smiling faces of my brothers in my mind were gradually replaced by strange, ugly, crying faces.

...We are in so much pain.

Why did you come to us so late?

When will we be liberated?

…

No! Don’t hurt my family anymore!

The high wall in my heart is crumbling, and the dirty blood obscures Qingming's eyes, so that they are completely swallowed up by darkness.

After being so insensitive, I no longer had any thoughts of resisting.

Apart from the pain, he felt nothing else, and he sincerely hoped that someone could help him end it all.

I don't know how long it has been, but Yiqi Yizhen, who has been living in darkness, is no longer sensitive to time. However, it feels like centuries have passed before a burst of fire breaks through the prison of darkness.

The pain felt by the body gradually slowed down a lot, and in the end, all the painful torture stopped.

Is it finally over...?

I thought I could leave peacefully, but at the end, my consciousness came back, and I didn’t have time to think about it. I only felt despair. Is it coming again? Is it going to be a terrible reincarnation again?

?

But this time is different, the power injected this time is... very warm.

It is not like cold and sticky dirty pool water, but like a golden ocean favored by the sun. His body is swimming in it every time, and his body consciousness can be freely controlled by him. His whole body is warm, as if he has returned to his mother's

In the arms.

This spiritual power that made him feel extremely comfortable suddenly stopped, and he subconsciously wanted to absorb more.

Then, the scene in front of him changed instantly, and he was in the corridor of Honmaru that was familiar to him.

Facing him was a shocked black-haired girl wearing a butterfly hair accessory.

"Did you...save me?"

Yi Qi Yi Zheng asked subconsciously, and then he realized something was wrong. Looking at his hands, he turned into Fu Sangshen again.

Is this...salvation?

Why wake him up? Letting him die like this is the real salvation.

The young man in front of him had straight blue-green hair that was as gentle as the sea, sticking softly to his ears. He was wearing a black military uniform that showed a unique aristocratic temperament. But at this time, the decadent look on his face made him

The aura of the whole person was greatly reduced.

At this time, he was falling into a painful emotion like a battle between heaven and man. He seemed to have recalled some bad memories, his phantom limbs ached faintly, and his face was pale and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"How are you?"

At this moment, Rai had no intention of admiring the other person's appearance. He took out a clean handkerchief from the space and held it in his hands, "Would you like to wipe it?"

The girl was very young, and the cute look she held in front of him holding a handkerchief reminded Yi Qi Yizhen of his younger brothers, and Yi Qi Yizhen's originally gloomy eyes instantly softened a lot.

Even though he has suffered a lot of hurt, Yi Qi Yizhen is essentially a gentle parent who takes the initiative to take care of his children. When faced with the kindness of his children, he has always accepted them patiently and movedly.

"Thanks."

Yi Chi took the handkerchief with a start. It was embroidered with the imprint of a flower he was very familiar with, "It's a wisteria flower."

He was smiling... Rai was stunned by the other party's fleeting smile.

"Why do you want to save me?"

Returning to the topic, his eyes were filled with confusion, "Wouldn't it be better to just let me die like this? I don't want to... fight any more."

Rai tilted his head and looked up at him, "I came to do these things because I was entrusted by your partner. He misses you very much. At least after meeting him, you can think about the future."

"partner?"

I was stunned for a moment.

"Ah, he's here."

Rai pointed behind Yiqi Yizhen with his finger.

There was a snap——

Everything in Tsurumaru Kunaga's hand fell to the ground. He looked at the blue young man in front of him in shock, "One, one issue?!!"

Ichiki Issei turned back to stare at him, and was shocked when he agreed, "Tsurumaru!"

"Really, it's really you!!!"

Tsurumaru Kunaga quickly ran forward, holding Ichibo Issei's face in his hands. It was the familiar face in his memory. He pulled Issichi Issei's face hard, "Does it hurt? I don't know.

You must be dreaming!"

"...Can't you just pull your own face?"

Tsurumaru Kuninaga in front of him also felt familiar to him, but he felt that something was different about him. He looked at the little girl behind him and said, "It's this child..."

It woke me up."

"No, no, I just thought about repairing your body and letting other judges do it..."

Rai waved his hand and said a little helplessly: "You suddenly ran out on your own."

"So what's going on?"

Tsurumaru Kunaga still hadn't recovered from the shocking fact that his partner had suddenly faked his body. He looked towards Rai eagerly for an answer.

In this regard, Rai could only patiently explain to Tsurumaru Kunaga that he had just used the spirit control technique to repair the broken sword, "...because I have never tried it before, and I don't know if it can be done, so in

I can't make such a big promise to you without being sure."

He made the decision on his own without informing the other party in advance. Rai must apologize to Tsurumaru Kunaga for this matter.

"sorry……"

Ley apologized to him: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, so please stop crying."

"I do not blame you."

The surprise fact that the sword defeated the mourning god and rescued him was enough to make Tsurumaru Kunaga burst into tears, "No, it should be me who caused you trouble, no matter what..."

Tsurumaru Kunaga held Rai into his arms excitedly, "Thank you, thank you!"

This outfit is also scrapped...

Feeling the feeling on his shoulders as if they were soaked by heavy rain, Rai stretched out his little hand and patted Tsurumaru Kuninaga's back to make him cry more smoothly, "Okay, okay, baby, don't cry. Don't cry."

"

A child was comforting a crying adult like an old mother - this scene made Ichigen fall into a strange silence, and even his eyes looking at Tsurumaru Kunaga were full of complex expressions.

Tsurumaru, what are you doing to a child?!

It could be seen that Ipichi Issei's current state of mind had not yet recovered from the curse he had suffered before. Rai peeked at the uneasy Issei Issei and whispered in Tsurumaru Kunaga's ear -

—

"Would you like to talk to Yiqi Yizhen alone for a while first? I feel like you are the only one he can listen to right now."

Tsurumaru Kunaga nodded in understanding, with a solemn look on his face, "Leave it to me!"

"Ah, I can't eat it."

Tsurumaru Kunaga looked at the rice balls that fell on the ground, wailing and holding his head.

Rai saw the rice balls with raw rice in them and was speechless, "...can you really cook?"

"I'm quite hard at cooking. After all, Xiao Guang was there before, so there was no need for me to come."

…It’s more than just a pain in the ass.

It reminds me of the big pot of dark food that Tsurumaru Kunaga made out of the kitchen on a whim.

A drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead.

At that time, all the food was wasted, and from then on, the owner of the kitchen, Todachi Kirimimitada, issued an explicit order prohibiting Tsurumaru Kunei and dogs from entering.
