Chapter 23: Snow

It seemed to be snowing outside, and the white ice crystals slowly fell to the ground, disappearing in an instant. The snow was beautiful, but the moment it fell, it was destined to turn into water.

The old man's body fell on the woman, covering her and seeming to be protecting her.

Levi walked slowly over and came to the entrance of the cave, with his back to the entire dark cave: "Sorry, I'm late."

He murmured, as if to himself: "I will completely end this era, this era of monsters."

"boom!"

The napalm bomb exploded inside the cave, and countless rubbles and soil, along with all the sins, completely buried everything. The unparalleled high temperature and pressure will eliminate everything.

It's snowing all the time.

He slowly stretched out his palm, which had now completely turned into a reptile. A piece of snowflake slowly fell and landed on the palm of his hand. The pure white snowflake began to become transparent, then melted into a trace of water and disappeared.

"The snow is so beautiful."

He murmured, picked up his bamboo hat, and walked into the snow.

As he walked in the snow, his skin that turned into scales and his cheeks that began to show scales felt unusually cold. He could only use this shabby clothes to cover the exposed scales as much as possible.

When he crossed the mountain, he saw a huge village in the distance, but even from this distance, he could only see the ruins buried by snowflakes. The village was desolate, dilapidated, and unpopular.

It looks less like an ancient village and more like a post-apocalyptic ruin in a science fiction work.

Li Wei often thinks about whether this hidden copy is another world like the ordinary copy. Or is it just an illusory copy created by the system through the old history recorded by the soul of the Yamata no Orochi in the Tian Yu Yu Zhan.

He originally thought that this was just a piece of old history, but gradually, he felt that there was no other difference in the world.

Just as true.

Far away, he heard the girl's laughter and a hut over there, accompanied by a rapid cough, but she smiled happily, as if she was a child.

When preparing to follow the Headless Ghost, Levi placed Shanbuki here. This house looked like a hunter's cabin located on a remote mountain.

Levi saw the girl with flaxen hair. Her hair seemed to have been carefully taken care of, tied into a braid and hanging down on her chest.

There were two little foxes surrounding her, and the three little guys seemed to be playing in the snow.

When he walked over, the two little foxes immediately became alert and ran out immediately. One of them seemed to have an injury on his leg and was wrapped with a simple cloth. It was very difficult for him to move on the ground. The other little fox

Come over quickly, pick it up and prepare to leave.

Before leaving, the little fox knelt down on the snow and bowed in a very anthropomorphic manner, and then immediately jumped into the woods.

He looked at the tracking technique, but there was no red light on it.

"Swordsman-sama!" Yamabuki also quickly saw Li Wei, and quickly came to him with her luggage on her back. However, maybe because she was walking in a hurry and was very cold, she kept coughing when she walked to Li Wei's side.

Got up.

"Let's go." Levi said, looking in the direction the two foxes were leaving.

Yamabuki followed Li Wei obediently, seeming to think that he cared a little about the two little foxes. As he walked, he explained: "Master Swordsman, I am very obedient and hide here, and the two foxes are locked up with you."

They took me there. I took it upon myself to release them. I’m really sorry..."

"Yeah." Levi still only responded with a brief word, and the bamboo hat was pressed down by him, as if he was trying to cover the alienated scales on his body.

The main road was covered with snow, and only two figures, one large and one small, could be seen.

Along the way, I never encountered any demons or human beings.

It was only sometimes when I was walking that I was caught by something, and I realized that there was just a corpse under the snow.

In this era, human life seems to have become the cheapest commodity.

Gradually, the sky was setting. Standing on the top of the mountain, Li Wei could see the sea in the distance and the outline of the Izumo City on the seaside.

"Is that the capital city..." Shanbuki also saw the outline of the capital city. She looked at it from a distance, and there seemed to be something flashing in her eyes.

But even if they saw Shendu, the distance between them at this time was estimated to be dozens of kilometers.

The sky gradually darkened until it was completely invisible.

They still just found a village along the way to rest. Unfortunately, there was no trace of people in the village, and even the houses seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, with a thin layer of dust gathering everywhere.

Yamabuki quickly set up a simple fire rack, like a little cook, and then started to get busy.

The crackle of burning wood and the little girl's coughing from time to time echoed in the room, like the only sounds in the world.

Soon she cooked a pot of kelp soup, then called Levi and started eating happily.

It was a very simple dinner, in modern times it was just thick rice soaked in kelp soup, but she was very happy to eat it, as if she was tasting the most delicious food in her life.

And Li Wei seemed to be picking up the tachyon for the first time to eat, and it was very awkward and jerky to use.

"Master Swordsman, kombu is delicious, isn't it? That old man is really a good man. I hope he can take his elder sister to escape from the monsters and find a place where there are no monsters to survive." Yamabuki ate his rice. Her flaxen braids hung down on her chest, and her eyes narrowed into the shape of a crescent moon.

Li Wei took Kuai Zi's hand and gave it a pause.

"Hey, did I say something wrong?"

"Nothing." Levi continued to lower his head and eat with peace of mind.

"Sister Ringo told me that her baby will be born soon after winter. Sister Ringo looks so young and is about to become a mother..."

"I'm full." Levi quickly put down the bowl, as if to interrupt Yamabuki to continue talking in this direction.

"Okay, Master Swordsman." She hurriedly ran over to catch Levi's bowl, flicking the braid on her chest.

It seemed that the light of the fire was a bit dim. Shanbuki did not notice Levi's mutated hands before, but this time she directly came into contact with Levi's palms that had almost completely turned into reptile claws.

Levi's completely alienated claws came into direct contact with her, and his snake-like ice-blue vertical claws also looked at her. Perhaps it was because the sharp claws covered with cuticles on the back could not grasp more delicately. .The wooden bowl fell to the ground with a clang.

Under the firelight, the scales on his cheeks were also exposed. From this angle, he didn't look like a person, but more like a monster.

Yamabuki did not ask, but fell silent for a while.

He silently picked up the wooden bowl that had fallen to the ground, bowed slightly, and left the house.

There was only the howling wind and snow outside the house, and Li Wei huddled in the corner alone, his bamboo hat covering the reptile scales on his body.
