Living in Naruto

stone interior

Now I am sitting on my knees next to Mariko, who has been sleeping all day and night.

As Mariko said, before Mariko died, Sato Michihiko did not touch other women. In fact, Sato Michihiko has sent people to check three times. As Mariko said, he will not use another toy until one toy dies.

In fact, I was quite surprised, because after the third check, Sato Michihiko sent someone to deliver the ‘medicine’.

"It's really surprising..."

Are you reluctant to let Mariko die? Simply because this 'toy' hasn't given him enough pleasure? This is something that is obvious at a glance. As for the option of Sato Michihiko falling in love with Mariko, it is impossible to think about it. How can such a twisted soul know what "love" is.

In fact, I am hesitating now. There is a medicine jar next to me, which contains the therapeutic decoction prepared by Sato Michihiko for Mariko. What I hesitated about was whether to give Mariko the medicine.

Yes, I'm hesitant about it because I feel...

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Let me die! Let me die! Let me die..."

This is probably what Mariko feels, and it makes me think that it would be better for Mariko to die.

As for why I can feel it, it should be the result of spiritual liberation. Yes, yesterday I successfully used psychic powers alone.

how to say? In fact, my experiments have always failed. The liberation of mental power has little to do with the experiment. Of course, this does not mean that the experiment is wrong. According to the idea of ​​​​my experiment, after a period of time, the experiment should indeed be able to liberate mental power and use it alone. However, this period of time may be long, perhaps many years.

As for why I can use my mental power now, to be honest, I don't really understand. It seems that I can use it very suddenly. For example, mental power is like water in a jar. To use it, you must let the water flow out. But the jar is tightly sealed, and it would take a long, long time to break the jar in order for the water to flow out.

But just yesterday, the jar that had been restraining my mental power suddenly broke and shattered. So, I was able to use my mental power naturally. I don’t quite understand the specific reason yet, but that’s the right description.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts..."

"Die, die, die..."

Mariko is sending out this kind of message, I can feel it. Of course, the above statement is what I feel, and Mariko probably exudes this kind of consciousness. My feeling is not mind-reading. Of course, I don’t know what Mariko is thinking specifically in her heart. What I can feel is probably emotions or feelings. Now, Mariko's emotions tell me that she wants to die.

"We can't sit idly by and ignore it..."

I gently lifted Mariko up, pressed my forehead against Mariko's forehead, and then, my mental power invaded...

Dark… bright red… sticky…

This is Mariko's spiritual world, and the bright red is blood. Even though it is an illusion made up of the spirit, the rich and tangy smell of blood still rushes towards my face, stimulating my sense of smell.

I couldn't see anything except black and red. My mental power couldn't penetrate the darkness and bright red, and I couldn't find Mariko.

"Mariko! Mariko! Mariko..."

I tried to call Mariko's name in my heart, and continued to use my mental power to attack this black and red world, but with little success.

There was nothing I could do, this black, red and sticky feeling was Mariko's 'despair'. This world is made up of this "despair". I can only keep moving forward. I can feel this deep despair. If I continue to move forward, I may be trapped in it. This is no joke. Once my spirit is trapped in it, it means that I will "die" along with Mariko.

. The outer body is still alive, but the mental power will disappear, which is equivalent to death.

"But as expected, I can't ignore it..."

A wry smile appeared on the corner of 'I''s mouth. This 'I' is made up of my spiritual power, which is equivalent to my soul.

This world has no direction, no up or down. No matter where I go, I see the same red and black. I don’t know how long I have been walking.

"It's become thicker..."

I stopped and felt the sticky feeling carefully. It's like a swamp, so sticky that once you get stuck in it, you can't get out of it.

"But it's close..."

I continue to move forward, towards a darker and more sticky direction...

Then, I saw...

The black and red space wraps an isolated island, and a big tree stands on the isolated island. The big tree is quite withered, and underneath there is yellow grass.

"It's such a small space..."

Mariko is there, in the conscious space, she is a child of about ten years old, which surprises me. But no matter how she changes, there is nothing wrong with her being Mariko.

I moved forward hard, and then set foot on this isolated island.

"Mariko."

The child hugged his knees with both hands, burying his mind deeply between his knees, trembling slightly.

"Mariko."

There is no red or black here, but the composition of the space is different, and it is even more difficult to move forward. I am repelled by this isolated island.

"Cheer up! Mariko!"

Shouting loudly, but getting no response, Mariko closed her heart.

what to do? What can I do……

I can't get close, I don't even know if my voice can be conveyed, I'm helpless...

"The mental loss is quite severe..."

Although I successfully found Mariko, for my spiritual body, I was already close to the limit. In other words, I have no way out. If Mariko doesn't respond to me, I will be trapped here and then disappear.

Therefore, spiritual power is a dangerous power, whether to others or to oneself. The risks associated with the use of this kind of power are beyond imagination. If you are not careful, there will be unpredictable consequences.

"Let's try it..."

At this point, I have no way out, and waking up Mariko is the only way. But now I can't get close to Mariko, which is the most important problem.

Speaking of giving it a try, it is actually just a guess. The so-called spiritual body should be an existence without entity. The current ‘I’ is just the appearance of spiritual habits.

And I, now want to give up this appearance!

That's what I say, but it's actually quite dangerous to do this. While abandoning the appearance, I quite understand the meaning!

This is an instinctive clarity that I can only explain briefly.

The use of mental power requires ‘dependence’. The so-called 'dependence' refers to the physical form of the user of mental power. In the outside world, this "support" is the user's physical body; in the spiritual world, the user of mental power will "create" a non-entity body as the "support" of the user of mental power.

And what I have to do now is to destroy this 'possession', change its appearance while destroying it, and in order to avoid the ending of death, I have to create a 'core'.

"This is quite dangerous! Once you do this, you might really die!"

Then, my body began to collapse...
