Douluo Dalu March

night.

Completely different from the sea during the day, the sea at night is more mysterious and dangerous, with darkness in the distance.

Hazuki sat on a huge rock, trying her best to think about the reason for all this, why did she suddenly become Suzuka Chihime?

"Is it also an assessment?" Ye Yue frowned.

"Who are you?" Suddenly a voice sounded.

Ye Yue hurriedly released her martial spirit, and the pipa with a faint golden light appeared in her hand. She suddenly felt something was wrong.Now that she has become Suzuka Chihime, will her martial spirit still be Pipa?

When she was still confused, she felt a force pulling her out. When she came back to her senses, she found that nothing had happened.

No, it didn't happen.

Hazuki looked blankly at Suzuka Chihime who fell on the rock in front of her. How could she... see Suzuka Chihime?Isn’t she Suzuka Chihime now?

Ye Yue looked down at herself in a belated manner, only to find that she had returned to her original appearance. The only difference was that her ordinary clothes had turned into a gorgeous floor-length skirt, and her body was looming.

"Who are you?" Suzuka Chihime, who had fallen on the rock, slowly propped herself up and sat up, looking straight at Hazuki with a pair of pale golden eyes like Hazuki's. "Who are you? What are your intentions in coming to our mermaid territory?"

Hazuki shook her head hastily. "I'm not, I didn't, please listen to my explanation!" Then, Hazuki told Suzuka Chihime a series of things that happened since she took the Leshen assessment.

Suzuka Chihime nodded.

"Why didn't you react at all when you heard that you were in vain?" Ye Yue asked curiously.

Suzuka Chihime looked into the distance. "If it were you, would you do your best for everything you like, even if it means death?"

"If it were me..." Ye Yue was stunned, and after a while, she shook her head. "I don't know...if that's the case, wouldn't the people left behind be very sad? I don't want them to be sad."

Suzuka Chihime looked at her and smiled. "Really? But at such a critical moment, would you still think so much?" She cast her gaze into the distance. "When that time comes...it's great that the mermaid tribe can still exist."

"The survival of the mermaid clan is thanks to you." Ye Yue said.

Suzuka Chihime raised her hand. "Yeah?"

"Yeah." Ye Yue nodded.

Suzuka Chihime turned her gaze to her. "Your martial spirit...is Pipa?"

"Yes."

"Reminds me of a friend." Suzuka Chihime said lightly.

"Friends?" Ye Yue was extremely curious. "That friend you mentioned, does the martial spirit also play Pipa?"

Suzuka Chihime shook her head. "No, Pipa is both a weapon and a partner to her."

"Partner?" Ye Yue lowered her head and looked at her hands.

"Her music is just like the singing of a mermaid." Suzuka Chihime said. "Unlike me, she is the hope to drive away the eternal night, and I... am just a timid singer."

"Is it important to be a hope?" Somehow, Ye Yue asked this question without even thinking about it.

"It's not that it's important to be a hope, it's that it's important to have hope." Suzuka Chihime raised her hand. "Come, accompany me." As she said this, she closed her eyes and began to sing.

The moonlight fell on her body, making her appear mysterious. The tides in the sea were not as anxious as before in front of the Queen. Suzuka Chihime's song echoed on the sea.

Ye Yue pursed her lips, released her martial spirit, and began to play for her.

Since then, Hazuki has never been able to return to Suzuka Chihime's body. She has always been in a looming soul state, but this state can only be seen by Suzuka Chihime.

Another night, Hazuki nodded like Suzuka Chihime, released her martial soul to play, and the sounds she played turned into shining birds.

Suzuka Chihime reached out to touch the flying birds, looked at Hazuki who was caught in the sound, and said lightly: "It really looks like..."

After finishing speaking, she faced the deep sea and started singing. After singing for a while, she felt her throat suddenly hurt, and her voice was like a baby bumping when walking. The calm sea surface suddenly raised a tide, and a strong wind suddenly blew on the sea. The rain came instantly.

Hazuki suddenly stopped playing. "Lord Chiki!"

The scaly skin on Suzuka Chihime's body began to ooze blood, and Suzuka Chihime struggled to reach out to block the waves.

"Hazuki, you must go back to your clan." Suzuka Chihime looked at the sea stubbornly.

"But……"

"No but, I have to go back." Suzuka Chihime interrupted her and smiled when she saw the worry in Hazuki's eyes. "I have to go back, it's inevitable, isn't it?"

Ye Yue opened her mouth and lowered her eyes. "You're going to repeat the legend when you go back, aren't you?"

"You've already said it, it's a legend." Suzuka Chiki touched Hazuki's head. "Since it is already a legend, of course the legend must continue to exist."

"...But... Leshen asked me to come back here, maybe to change your ending?" Hazuki looked at Suzuka Chiki's golden eyes that were the same as her own, and became more and more sure of her own idea.

Thick fog suddenly appeared on the sea, and the ancient sacred song came from the sea.

"Listen..." Suzuka Chihime closed her eyes. "I seem to hear the cries of mermaid babies when they are born. New life, that is the most beautiful song in the world... Ye Yue, you are really like those children, treating the world with innocence, but at the same time, looking at the world cruelly .”

Ye Yue was stunned, and her body couldn't help but start to tremble.

Suzuka Chihime opened her eyes, opened her arms, and moved forward to hug Hazuki. "But you have a heart."

"...Heart?" Ye Yue slowly raised her hand and placed it on her chest, feeling the heartbeat under her hand.

Suzuka Chihime pointed to the location of her heart and said, "Your heart will tell you how to become a true human being."

"...Do I really mean it?" Ye Yue asked confused.

Although she is not a human being, she is also not a spirit beast!She is just a cold weapon, just like the weapon held by Suzuka Chihime's friend who plays music - she is a lute.

Yes, Pipa.

An ordinary and common artifact, she did not selectively become a human being like Sister Xiao Wu who had practiced for 10 years. Instead, her consciousness had been chaotic, and one day she suddenly gained consciousness and directly transformed into a human being.

In her eyes, the world was unfamiliar, and confusion and fear of the unknown made her timid.

No one has ever taught her how to behave, and she doesn't know it herself, because she has always been a "dead object".

Sister Xiaowu would feel sad because the crested crested snake was killed, but she never felt there was anything wrong. The strong survive, and the third brother was right.

But Sister Xiaowu was sad at that time, so... was it necessary to feel sad at that time?

Hazuki seemed to understand. She raised her head and looked at Suzuka Chihime and asked, "So, do you have to go back because of your clan members?"

Suzuka Chihime didn't nod or shake her head, she looked at the fog getting thicker and thicker. "Someone is already teaching you how to be a human being, isn't it? Go back."

Hazuki nodded. "I see."
