Chapter 162 The Intertwining of Past and Present (3)
"Really, I still feel that all this is unreal," Hao Qing sat on a park bench, looking at the lake, stroking the scarf around his neck with his left hand, leaning his head on the back of the bench, and vomited softly.
He took a breath and recalled everything that happened before, his face full of melancholy, "If possible, I really don't want to be contacted in this way."
After clearing out the people here, he has been here, waiting for people, and at the same time... in a daze.
After all, even though he was barely well-informed about what happened recently, it was really a lot to deal with, and he felt quite tired.
Meeting Hibiki was really unexpected.
He came to this world purely to track the remaining messages from ezle. However, the situation here is similar to that over there. From time to time, there will be people who mutate and monsters start to attack. As for the source, is it the same as everyone over there from ezle?
Their essence is that they are all dead monsters...it is unknown.
However, since that incident, based on the data collected previously, Doromon has updated its detection methods. From this point of view, most people are normal, but it is unclear whether this is the result of being deceived.
Got it.
But he still chose to go on like this - if he couldn't even believe in the abilities of himself and the people around him, then what else could he believe in?
only……
Thinking of the golden warrior princess, he had a headache.
I just didn't expect that I would meet the wrong person in this completely unsuitable place, and treat him like a life-or-death enemy - it was obvious that he had never known her before, even if it was what Dolumon said,
You can't do this. Why is this happening?
During this period, Hao Qing had suspected that the other party was a fake, but after the actual contact... this possibility was rejected. Blindly denying it with violence would not work, and he could only face her head-on.
[This is what I generated for your protection based on the data collected during this period. With it, you can restrain the damage caused by philosophical weapons to a certain extent, and at the same time, it can give you some minor assistance... But you still have to be careful.
Don’t let it get ruined!]
"Oh, Duolu is becoming more and more reliable...but I am really flattered that I can receive the treatment of the power of God."
Recalling what Doromon said to him before leaving, Hao Qing couldn't help but murmured as he stroked the texture of the scarf.
Guagua——
As he spoke, a frog jumped up from the lotus leaf, looked into Hao Qing's eyes, and then hurriedly fell into the water.
The water splashed everywhere, reflecting the sunlight in the sky, making it look particularly dazzling.
Boom——
The water splash from the tree fell on the flaxen girl's head, instantly making her hair and back wet.
"Meow."
The gray cat in her arms meowed softly, and when it landed, it was still lingering beside her, refusing to leave.
"Let's go, you shouldn't stay here..." Tachibana Hibiki turned around and planned to leave, but later she noticed the strangle marks on the cat's chest... and the scars on its body, and she immediately had the answer in her heart, "Really?"
, there’s no place for you anymore.”
"Meow~"
The kitten walked up to her and gently rubbed its head against her trouser leg. Maybe it was her usual habit. When she noticed, she had already squatted down and rubbed her little head with her hand.
It was like going back to the past... I was running around the streets like a fool, just to pull this little life out of the tree. I was often late for this, and was scolded by the teacher when I went to school. I will also be in the future.
He gave himself a helpless expression.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Hibiki's face at that moment.
It's just that my sunshine and shelter...are no longer there.
Will anyone accept themselves again?
[Don’t you always do this kind of thing?]
I don’t know why, but when I think of this, what comes to mind is its pure and sincere smile.
Face the future with a smile and courage?
"Meow--"
She unconsciously wanted to reach out her hand, but ended up touching the other person's wound. The kitten screamed and ran away, leaving Hibiki alone, stunned in place.
Sure enough...that's not possible.
Now I... can only hurt others.
After a long time, Hibiki trembled and took his hand back.
I can't go any further.
Hibiki took out the symphogear pendant. The miracle that was once used to connect others was now being used by her to act out her own ugly selfish desires.
It's wrong to throw your fist just to vent your anger... It's not right, Mirai.
But besides this, what else can I do now?
Hibiki looked up at the woods. The sunlight projected from the gaps in the leaves reflected in the lightless golden pupils, and the light reflected was still very hollow.
Anyway, soon... all this will be over.
"Really, it's so quiet..."
The breeze blew by, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the pond. Feeling the fresh and lonely atmosphere, Hao Qing squinted his eyes slightly, his body relaxed unprecedentedly, and he even wanted to just fall asleep.
Tread——
But at the moment when his consciousness relaxed, the sound of footsteps behind him stirred him up, which made him sigh secretly and pursed his face at the same time.
"I thought you would come a little later...I also wanted to experience the beautiful scenery here more."
"It sounds like you care a lot." Looking at his leisurely and contented look, the girl finally couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, and her words shot out from her clenched teeth like bullets, full of anger, "In the end,
It’s not about destroying it!”
"You..." Hao Qing turned his head and looked at her. Feeling the unforgettable anger, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you so prejudiced against me? We have never met each other before!"
"Oh, it's because you don't care at all."
Tachibana Hibiki lowered his head, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Completely, he didn't take it seriously.
However, it doesn't matter anymore.
When she raised her head again, the pendant of Gangnir and Symphogear, a sacred relic derived from the legend of Odin's Eternal Spear, was already in her hand.
"So, have you made your decision?"
Looking at Xiang, Hao Qing stood up, faced Xiang on the bench, and looked at Xiang. His lazy eyes condensed into a solemn look unique to battle.
"I, as expected, still can't forgive you!"
Anyway, I have no choice now...
After confirming that there was no one else around, the emotions raging in his heart were completely liberated, and the restless chants echoed——
"balwisyallnescellgungnirtron——!"
Almost instantly, she finished dressing. The yellow and white scarf hung from her sides like a cloak and settled on her side, making her face sunken in shadow look even more gloomy.
Is this, psalm, symphogear?
For some reason, Hao Qing was not surprised at all, even though it was his first time seeing it with his own eyes. He even felt... a little familiar.
"Then, come on, Hibiki!"
Although he still couldn't figure out the specific situation, this was the only way he could communicate with him.
...Or maybe, through this battle, he can get something back.
Following this sense of familiarity, Hao Qing raised his arms and clenched his fists. The red heat adhered to them, and with a burning fighting spirit, he transformed into the figure of the powerful warrior in the exploding flames, with the sword tied around his neck.
The scarf was dyed red and fluttered upward. The heat leaked out and burned the bench. The two people facing each other stood in the sun and shadow, with astonishing heat and dazzling light, and they collided together.
.
boom--
The shock wave spread violently, tearing the ground under their feet into a series of hideous wounds. Their fists were pressed against each other. Hao Qing and Xiang stared at each other. Under the sudden burst of power, the expressions on their faces were different.
Different——
"Why, it's different..."
That hot, upright feeling actually reminded her of that heartbreaking familiar feeling in the past.
Could it be... no, no, it's obviously the same person, I won't admit it!
However, Hao Qing was not happy about this.
"Hey...what are you doing? Please be serious!"
Under the roar, the scorching heat exploded, instantly blowing the dazed Hibiki away.
