I am the one holding the Higan flower in my hand

The nightmare cannot completely control the direction of the dream, so Anjuro and Lei are not dead, he can only continue to wait.

As spring passed and autumn came, day and night alternated. The vendor hawking at the door told Li Zi the news of his retirement. He looked at the guest in front of him whose appearance had not changed, and praised her with a smile as she was still as beautiful as when he was young.

"Although you are old, your skills are better," Li Zi smiled in admiration.

The vendor was amused by her and laughed, pushing the cart along the same route for the last time.

Lizi put the candy into the hands of her younger siblings, who were much older than her, and said, "This is the last time."

Even if the dream did not really pass through the decades, looking at the changed people, the nightmare still had the illusion of passing through the decades. He couldn't understand what was going on in Kuriyama Kuriko's dream.

She has been staying with a few people in the past few decades, so she must attach great importance to these people, but why do these people grow old, and...

Nightmare looked at the girl who was crying at the funeral of several people expressionlessly, "..."

What the hell.

I don’t understand why she doesn’t change herself if she thinks humans should live, grow old, get sick, and die, and vice versa. What the hell is going on with Kuriyama Chestnuts! ! !

"Everyone is dead."

That's right.

Chestnut shed another tear, exuding sadness.

Seeing her like this, Nightmare breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression suddenly changed in the next second.

Li Zi said, "Although I spent a false life with you, it was very complete, but a dream is a dream after all, and there is no way to take it seriously."

"When did you know about it?" Nightmare's face turned ugly, because he didn't realize that Li Zi had already known that this was a dream.

"Stupid," Li Zi said, imitating the man's tone, "How could I have students as stupid as you, that's what that man would say."

She tilted her head and looked at the nightmare in front of her. She would not say the words "fish" to you. "

"Only to me."

Kuriyama Kuriko told the truth.

"With so many people dead, can the dream be unlocked? Otherwise, we will have to let the adults die too."

Nightmare's face stiffened.

Lizi opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed. He was in a good mood and showed four teeth to Nightmare. He thanked him very sincerely, "Thank you very much. Actually, I have been in a bad mood because of some things these days. Good, but completely healed.”

Nightmare's eyes were cold.

"You're such a great psychiatrist."

Hearing these words, Nightmare's mood completely collapsed, showing his truest expression and glaring at Lizi angrily. But he was still curious, "Why not stay in the dream."

His dreams are what the human heart longs for most.

At first, he thought that what this person cared about most was getting along with those few people, but when he discovered the world in her dream, he immediately overturned his previous thoughts. It is impossible for someone with such a big spiritual world to only care about getting along with a few people. .

But what happened next overturned his new idea.

"Are you talking about getting along with all of us?"

"It's so beautiful." The feeling in the dream still remains in my heart. It is indeed very beautiful, but "only beautiful is too false."

"Mr. Nightmare, I prefer the painful truth to self-deception. There is no way, there can be no only beautiful life in this world, people living in this world will definitely have troubles," Li Zi sighed regretfully.

"What is it that you long for most?" If Ke Nima was unwilling to ask this question, it meant that he had failed.

"That's really what I desire most."

Looking at the young man with obscure eyes in front of him, Li Zi explained, "It's just that for now, I think that my greatest desire now and my greatest desire in life can coexist."

"So you're not failing because to me they can both be there at the same time."

She walked to Nightmare's side, looked at the young man's gloomy eyes, and smiled lightly, "Thank you for the dream. It is indeed a very beautiful story."

Seeing that the people were about to leave, Nightmare had to speak again, "Why didn't those people let you stay?" He almost tried his best to squeeze out these words that made him lose face.

"Master Nightmare, I'm not praising myself, I'm telling the truth."

"Master Nightmare's spirit has no way of affecting me."

Nightmare's face was already darker than the night. If the owner of the dream he created was mentally strong enough, and he entered, something might happen that would affect him in turn, but it must be within the spiritual core. in the unconscious realm.

In other words, this is indeed the unconscious realm of Kuriyama Kuriko, "Where is your spiritual core?"

"My spiritual core..." Li Zi did not stop, but raised his voice to ensure that Nightmare could hear clearly, "It has always been in front of Lord Nightmare."

Nightmare's pupils shrank suddenly, and she stared at Lizi's back in shock. After an unknown amount of time, the inferior man hugged himself suddenly, and then his body shook violently, followed by a creepy laugh.

"Kuriyama chestnut——"

After leaving Nightmare, Li Zi felt that the depression of the past few days had dissipated a lot. Although it was already midnight and theoretically he shouldn't disturb others, Li Zi still chose to knock on the door of Miyano House.

She got straight to the point, "Excuse me, how is Purgatory Anjuro's injury?"

She didn't think Anjuro could kill Yui without any injuries.

"...Purgatory-sama's injuries are somewhat serious, but not life-threatening," Miyano seemed to have been waiting for Kuriko to tell him the extent of Purgatory Anjurou's injuries.

He stopped.

Everyone could understand such an unconcealed look, so she refused decisively, "He should be recuperating in the Demon Slayer Corps, so I won't go, and it's not appropriate. Mr. Miyano, it's very disturbing to bother you so late at night." Feel sorry."

"without....."

Li Zi waved his hand to him, interrupting what he was about to say, "Then I'll go back first."

She ignored the hesitant glances behind her and walked back to her house. Because there was no one living in it, the house was dark. She pulled the rope, and the warm light illuminated the entire room in an instant. Unfortunately, only a shadow was dragged out today.

Lizi picked up the book on the ground that was still the same as when she left it, closed the book, and put it into the box where the books were placed.

"Although I have accepted this matter,...it is still very uncomfortable."

Even if that boy is not a person with a strong sense of existence.

Lizi slowly picked up the traces of the young man's existence, and then discovered that except for the things she gave him, the young man himself had almost never purchased anything, and he had been receiving very few active requests.

She opened the closet, and the clothes Kotonoha made for the boy were neatly folded and placed in four seasons. There is a wooden box on the top, a small gift from her and Kotonoha, and the hairpin from the sky is also placed in it.

He collected them all very well.

"It's really too much," Li Zi complained to the young man who had left. "How could I forget you when you are like this? Didn't I tell you that a dead guy can't disturb the life of a living person..."

"It's really too much."
