The river bank is extremely peaceful on the holidays.

The cumulonimbus clouds in early summer are layered on the horizon in the distance, and occasionally a cool wind blows, lifting up the hair of a long and straight girl. The brand new streets of Mitakihara City are neatly arranged, and today is so peaceful, peaceful and warm.

The cool river breeze rushes towards her. She sits alone on the river bank where the grass is waving in the wind, looking at a certain family tirelessly.

It was a young couple and a young boy.

The little boy sat on the ground, graffitiing something intently, while his parents squinted their eyes and looked into the distance.

After a while, a calm and calm voice came from behind her: "Aren't you going to go over and take a look? Or at least say something to them?"

“…”

“…”

"That's really trouble you! You're just meddling in other people's business..." Akami Ho retorted while biting her lip, and she subconsciously reached out and held the skirt of her uniform tightly.

The girl didn't look back, but she knew who that was.

"It's really strange. This is the second time we meet, right? But you seem to hate me?" Mu Xiu stood on the river bank behind the girl and said in an extremely clear voice. "Or, are you because of the wish that girl made?"

"…What does this have to do with you?"

After hearing this, the girl with long black hair turned her head slowly, and her eyes were still as cold as ever, and her long hair danced with the wind-

"You who can do such a cruel thing will not agree with human values ​​at all. You don't even think this is a cruel thing."

It has been a long time since that nightmare disaster—

For Mitakihara City, which had suffered a devastating blow, today is just a day when the prosperity that once began to recover.

However, the girl still felt that everything was vivid in her mind. What happened that night was the guy in front of her, who was in charge of all the cause and effect, and agreed to Xiaoyuan's wish.

That was the heaviest blow to her, a deep pain. The difference between the other party and Cupi seemed to be that he had no purpose, no need for reward, and could do everything.

However, human values ​​cannot be universal in the other party after all.

He can exchange miracles, but it is not without a price, and he will not think that kind of thing is cruel.

When she thought that night, her best friend disappeared completely in this world, Akamiyan felt deep despair filled her heart and soul gems.

"Miracle, it is something that cannot be compensated by life, so it can turn the impossible into a possibility." Mu Xiu smiled disapprovingly, "And isn't this what the girl wants to do?"

"But it's not worth it at all!"

The black-long straight girl couldn't help but shouted out.

"It carries those tragic cause and effect, and becomes a simple concept. The proof that exists in this world will disappear from all places, together with memory, without leaving anything..."

"Is this what Xiaoyuan expected to end? Is this result worthy of her?" She murmured in a trembling voice. "Stop kidding! Isn't this worse than death..."

“…”

“…”

Mu Xiu pondered for a moment, then said softly: "Wishes and efforts to do this are very important - they definitely have their value."

Then, he turned to look at the cumulonimbus clouds stacked in the distance, and narrowed his eyes.

"This is indeed her own wish, based on her own thinking, willingness, and final decisions, and others should not interfere with them...and those causes and effects from parallel worlds are tied to her."

"...But, she obviously doesn't need to sacrifice...so I hate myself even more!"

Akami Honey seemed to be even more sad. She looked away from the other person, as if she was looking at somewhere in the distance.

Mu Xiu looked at the soul gem that had turned into a ring on her middle finger. After thinking about it, he said again: "I'm ready to leave. Do you have anything else to do?"

"Is this the beginning of your preparation for a new generation of Cupi?" said the girl mockingly, "Then can you return Xiaoyuan to me?"

"Yes." Mu Xiuli replied naturally.

But before the girl could speak, he continued to speak on his own: "It's just like a guest coming from your house. When she went back, you kept sending her back to her house. When you came back, she kept sending you back to your house..."

This is the price that a miracle deserves. Lu Meiyuan paid her own existence in order to achieve the principle of rings. Only when Akamiyan made a wish at this time can she save her.

However, in that case, the one who pays the price will definitely become Akamiyan himself, and the rescued Lu Meiyuan will inevitably repeat this cycle of reincarnation... In this case, everything will lose its meaning.

"If this is the case, isn't it completely meaningless? If a miracle needs a price, what's the point of being called a miracle?"

Akami Ho said coldly.

Mu Xiu smiled indifferently: "I feel so too, but now I can't achieve the level of wishing that level without a price. If I can really do anything, then I don't mind helping you."

"I am not complete now. Taking the last step rashly will only completely lose myself. Even if I am omniscient and omnipotent, I will never have any ideas to help you at that time."

After thinking about it, he added with regret and explained this.

Akami Honey didn't understand what he was saying, but she knew that this person could exchange miracles, but there was no way to not pay the price or pay the price on his behalf.

At this moment—

“…small circle, small circle.”

In the family not far away, the young boy seemed to have finished his graffiti painting. He put down his brush and pointed to the pattern on the painting and shouted.

It was an ordinary child living in a happy and warm world.

I know nothing about how I am protected in this world and don’t notice it - I just live peacefully by leisurely troubles every day.

“…”

“…”

The girl also stood up at this time and stopped talking to the people behind her. She patted the skirt of her uniform and walked over slowly with her schoolbag.

Mu Xiu stayed alone, staring at her back, and then seemed to be laughing a little. He raised his head and looked at the sky, his eyes becoming deep and distant.

One end of the rapidly floating clouds revealed the blue sky.

It seems to penetrate everything, the deep blue.

A world without any worries.

Looking at the pleasant world in the distance, he sighed softly, but his thoughts unknowingly flew back to the white snowy night not long ago.

...

...

The snowy day when everything is silent.

There were no people on the streets of Guanbuzi City, only the light emitted by the street lights was resisting the curtains of the snow.

Even when it was night, the white crystals were still falling, and the streets were silent as if they had entered an ice age, and the snow was as cold as if they were about to freeze the season.

"I really didn't expect you to come here."

The girl named "Two Rituals" greeted Mu Xiu as usual in an iconic tone that seemed a little cold.

"Have you fallen asleep?" Mu Xiu, who had been watching the night, sighed and asked in such a soft voice.

"Yes, now there are only me and you." She smiled sweetly, "It's all because of you. If it weren't for the words you said that made her mood so bad, I wouldn't have woken up."

She put her hands on her chest and closed her eyes.

"It's just that some things cannot be fooled by them after all, and they will have to face them sooner or later." Mu Xiu rubbed his eyebrows and sighed again.

"No matter how roses grow, they will still grow. Even if the soil and moisture in the fertility change, they will not grow into other flowers."

She laughed softly.

"No matter how much you lack self-awareness of yourself, even if you become a completely different person like rebirth, the essence of your possession will not change."

"...Maybe." Mu Xiu acted unanimously.

"Don't act so relaxed. Can you really give up everything so freely?"

"Two Rituals" said gently, and then she couldn't help laughing as she looked at the other person thinking with his head tilted.

In this way, the two of them were talking endlessly about small things on this snowy night.

As he said as usual, she seemed very happy to hear him that the relationship between the two and their relationship had not changed at all.

The girl was really happy because she knew what it means to meet again.

Unlike the last time I came to the door, but the other party refused me, this time the other party came to me and came over, which means...what does it mean?

Even if she didn't deliberately read the future, she could guess how it would unfold.

So she was also answering the questions asked by Mu Xiu one by one, very patient.

"Do you feel confused? But this is your only chance. If you really become sanctified, you will never come to this world again, and all the connections in the past will be cut off."

The girl in a pure white kimono has transparent pupils and endless depth inside. It seems that she can see the lack of humanity in her pupils deep in her heart.

"This is also the ending she wants to see. As long as you reach the perfect state through the replenishment as she wishes, and then make a wish to her to obtain the holy position, then everything will be as she wishes."

Mu Xiu naturally knew who the "she" mentioned in the "two rituals" was referring to.

He just thought for a while and asked with a little confusion: "Is there any difference?"

"A very simple truth. According to what you are used to, the first stage of liberation of the forbidden zone of life is combat instinct, the second stage is the body of a beast, the third stage is the palace of thinking, and the fourth stage is the light of destruction..."

The girl thought for a while and nodded.

"The fifth stage is the real taboo realm. From this stage, you will be forced to leave the ordinary material world and go to the dimension of myth... because your existence will wrestle with the suppression force, and the final outcome is often the destruction of the universe."

"Just like you enter the paradise where she lives, that world is independent of the outside of time and space, and isolates the cause and effect of all other worlds. Only through the Tao mark set on the material plane can one enter..."

"In the same way, the same is true in the world where I live. Only by using specific causes and effects can you reach the connection. If you have become a real taboo before you arrive, then you will basically lose the possibility of coming here."

Mu Xiu nodded as if he had some understanding: "I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand... what's the point of doing this."

"Of course it's to reach the true original..." "Two Rituals" smiled in the innocent eyes, "A higher than the taboo realm, from relative meaning to absolute meaning..."

"The sixth stage, that is, the will of the other shore?" Mu Xiu frowned, "Who is she who can pursue that level of existence?"

"Isn't it obvious?" she stared at him, continued in a restless voice, spitting out a name.

“——yhwh.”
