【Master Ming】Golden Day of the Gods

It is already the third day.It's really weird that I haven't stopped anyone since I came to the school for three days in a row.Niwa leaned against the gate of Zhizhi's school and looked at his watch. It was already past the end of school time.Where did that guy go?He frowned and took out his cell phone. Ever since he said that to Zhizhi that day, Zhizhi hadn't heard from him at all.Afterwards, he sent a few more messages to Zhizhi, but all of them fell to nothing.So he came to the flower shop in the Shibuya underground shopping mall, but the store manager told him that Akechi had quit the part-time job a few days ago.

Foreboding.Niwa suspended all activities at hand and concentrated on finding Akechi.But he didn't seem to come to school either.Should I look for it at home next?Although his family has only relatives who don't care about his life, it is really tricky.

Just as he was thinking, a small voice seemed to be calling him.He turned around and found that it was a short girl.

"Well, I see that you have been waiting here for someone, are you waiting for Mr. Zhizhi?"

"Yes... how do you know?"

"Before the summer vacation, I often saw you waiting for him here."

"Then do you know where wise is?"

The girl looked surprised, "He asked for leave. Didn't he tell you?"

Niwa shook his head, "Why did he ask for leave? Is he sick?"

"No... He seemed to say that he had something urgent to do, so he took a long vacation with the school. But Akechi-kun was already recommended to that famous high school, so it's okay if you don't come to school... What's wrong?"

Niwa's face became serious, he hurriedly thanked the girl, turned around and left the school.

Could it be that it's too late?

Zhizhi stood in the magnificent corridor of the giant ship, and several downed shadows disappeared at his feet.Since he entered this strange space, all the security personnel and hounds regarded him as an intruder.After gaining the power, he quickly understood the purpose of the inexplicable APP on the phone.Knowing what he should do next, he resolutely quit his part-time job and took leave of school to prepare for his revenge.

He found out that Shido is now a member of a district council in Tokyo, but has been elected as a member of the House of Representatives.When he abandoned his mother, he was only the deputy secretary-general of a certain party, and his power was incomparable to what he is now.The people around him are either rich or noble, and it is not easy for a middle school student to meet him.

Still, he managed to reach out to one of Shido's supporters.He was a simple-minded Chinese. Although he had no interest in poor students, Zhizhi's handsome face managed to attract his attention.This kind of dirty old immortal, even if you just sit with them, you will feel that the air is polluted.Zhizhi endured his nausea and greeted the man with a smile, thinking that sooner or later, Shitong would clean up this kind of rubbish.

Afterwards, he came to the memory palace. In the huge underground subway maze, he found the people who followed the lion boy - to be precise, their shadow - based on the information he dug from the Chinese people. Power, coercing those shadows to tell things about Shitong.From it wisely learned that person's arrogance and ambition.Let this kind of person sit on the top of the country, what will the country become, I sneered after a little imagination.However, what does the life and death of this country have to do with oneself?

After collecting the information he needed, he used the APP to navigate to the giant ship.This is Shitong's inner projection of justice.Ambitious, glamorous, full of the rancid smell of high society hypocrisy.

Since he stepped into this incompatible space, he has been stared at.It took him a lot of effort to knock down the guards surrounding him.Although he has already mastered this strange power, after all, the time is still short, and he is still unable to exert the maximum ability as he likes.The point is - the monsters here are far trickier than the ones in the Memory Palace.It took a lot of time and energy just to enter the depths of the cabin.Zhizhi finally wiped out a shadow, looked at his trembling hands, and groaned anxiously.

As expected of a person who is about to become a member of Congress, the security of people is so strict, and there are many supporters.Over time, this person's strength will definitely become even more terrifying.At that time, this ship will not be able to get in if you want to.

Niwa knocked on the relative's house where Akechi was staying.Although it was long past school time, Akechi's guardian, an indifferent man, didn't seem to take Akechi's failure to go home at all, instead he looked suspiciously at Niwa.

"who are you?"

"I am a wise friend."

"That kid actually has friends." The man snorted coldly. "I don't know how you know here, don't let me see you again."

"Wait a minute, if Sensei comes back—"

The iron door closed directly in front of him.After being rejected by the door, Niwa just stared at the door for a while with some annoyance, then leaned against the wall and fell into deep thought.It had already occurred to him that his relatives had little concern for wise life and death, so it didn't frustrate him.It was getting dark gradually, Zhizhi was only a middle school student after all, and it was impossible to sleep out casually, so as long as he waited here, he could always wait for him.

The street lights on the quiet residential street came on.Niwa unlocked the phone and opened the chat window with Zhizhi, where there were only a few messages that he sent to him, but there was no reply.He sighed in distress, scratched his black hair, which was not very obedient, and decided that it would be better to call him directly than to send this kind of message that was destined to not get a reply.

As a result, when he pressed the number, there was a faint cell phone ringing not far away.Niwa raised his head, and the slender figure that he hadn't seen for a long time was standing in front of him, clutching the ringing mobile phone in his hand.Obviously his appearance hasn't changed in any way, but his eyes are colder than the autumn night.

"wise--"

Niwa took two steps forward, but the man dragged his feet and brushed past him without any hesitation, and pushed open the iron door without any notice.

Of course, this behavior would not be let off so easily, the next second the chestnut-haired boy's wrist was firmly grasped, forcing him to stagger.

"Wait a minute, why are you ignoring me?"

Sensible didn't look back.Niwa also couldn't see his face hidden in the night, but he was keenly aware that the atmosphere around this person was different from before, as if he was surrounded by a more ominous atmosphere.

"Why are you here."

"Eh?"

"...You go back, don't come to me again."

This attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away made Niwa's long suppressed anger explode.

"Are you kidding? How long do you think I've been looking for you!? You didn't even reply to the message, and suddenly said such inexplicable words!"

"!open……!"

As if being stabbed by his words, Sensei resisted fiercely. He shook off that hand, and accidentally threw the phone out, and it fell to the ground with a slap.The hand released as he wished, but turned to pick up the dropped mobile phone.

Niwa picked up Sensei's cell phone and saw a familiar glaring logo on the screen that had fallen to light up. Before he could say anything, the cell phone was roughly snatched away.There was a trace of uneasiness in his wise glaring, he was silent for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say another word to Niwa after all.He turned and pushed open the iron door, simply disappearing from his sight.

Niwa stood outside the closed door for a while, a quiet flame gathered between his brows.If he read correctly just now, the thing he was most worried about happened.

Looks like I have to take action too.He gripped his phone tightly and opened the same navigation as Zhizhi's phone.

Combat is getting easier and easier.After finally escaping from the pursuers, Zhizhi hid in a room. There seemed to be no enemy aura here, so he decided to take a short rest here.

He remembered Niwa's shocked and angry expression when he met him last night.He thought that such revenge would make him proud, but it backfired.His chest was tight all night, causing him insomnia all night.

"……hateful."

If he didn't know that this twisted world wouldn't exist for that guy, as long as he killed Shitong himself, he would definitely be his next target.

I really want to kill that person who will shake my mind.

However, it doesn't matter anymore.After last night, he should also be very clear about his attitude, and won't pester himself anymore.

He closed his eyes and suppressed the emotions surging in his chest.He didn't know what was waiting for him ahead, but he also had no way out.No family, no friends, only you can rely on in this world.

- let's go.

"Just end this, Loki."

Walk into the core part of the ship - a hall that resembles the National Assembly Hall.The tumbler opened the top of the stage curtain, as if it was the owner's determination to stand firm in the political arena.Wisely twisting the corners of his mouth in a funny way, this kind of arrogant and funny inner scenery is quite suitable for this kind of scum who ruins other people's lives indifferently.However, that is as of today.

Zhizhi walked step by step towards the stage that countless congressmen dreamed of being on.Someone was already waiting for him.Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, the man on the stage, wearing a captain's uniform, a red cloak, and a helmet, turned his head, with a stern look in his eyes.

"Are you the rat that's been making trouble on the boat?"

"We finally met, Shitong Zhengyi."

Sensei pointed the black muzzle of his gun at him.It was a replica gun bought online.Although it can't kill a real person, it is more than enough to deal with this kind of shadow.However, the other party looked at his gun with disdain, without even frowning.

"who are you."

"Haha...Of course you won't remember. Let me remind you: the woman you once abandoned gave birth to your son before she died."

Shitong's expression finally changed.

"You—you are that woman's son?"

"Yeah. The night before she died, she wanted me to find you and go to you as a father." He suddenly raised his voice: "--what are you kidding! I don't want to be a selfish man who never cared about us Will admit that this kind of person is my father!"

"Are you here to seek revenge?"

Akechi's eyes were tearing apart, and his distorted smile was trembling.As soon as he saw this man's face, he inevitably remembered his mother before she died.She was tortured by demons and illnesses for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it. She even left a verbal will for her dependent young son, so she swallowed a whole bottle of pills with red wine before dawn.He didn't see his mother getting up to make breakfast in the morning, but when he opened the door, he found his mother who had been sleeping forever.

Since then, he has been tossed and wandered in the home of his mother's relatives until today.The accumulated loneliness, despair and pain squeezed out the deepest hatred in his heart, and he had to do his best to lower his body to counteract the sharp pain in his chest that was rolling like lava.

"You need to make up for the mistakes you made. You should also taste the pain that my mother and I have experienced!"

If I didn't do that, those resentments would have nowhere to go, and I would have no reason to live.

Wisely gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger towards the man in front of him.And at that moment, a black shadow descended from the sky, and with the sound of chains and flames, the bullet flying towards Shadow Lion Boy was held in the hands of that shadow.

"Varied……?!"

The huge black wings seemed to cut through all the haze, and the strange human figure that fell was gorgeous and fierce.He turned around, and the manipulator of this persona, whose nature was very similar to Loki, appeared at the door. Even with a mask on his face, the curly black hair was unmistakable.

"—Niwa... Sakuya?"

He called out the man's name in disbelief.Why is it him?Why would he appear in front of him in such a place and in such an appearance?

"It's me. Stop being wise and stop being driven by hatred."

At this time, this person is still using these bullshit arguments to stop himself.Zhizhi sneered, but still aimed his gun at Shitong.

"I don't know how you found out about this kind of place. It seems that you didn't come here to help me."

"You are wrong, I am really here to help you."

Niwa, who was wearing a long black trench coat, said calmly.The expression under Akechi's mask began to crumble.

"Then why did you stop me?! Do you know how miserable this man has caused my mother and me?! If I don't kill him myself, I—"

"No, even if you kill him, you won't get peace of mind. Put down the gun wisely and come to me."

"What do you know?!" Zhizhi roared heartbreakingly, "How can you understand my feelings with healthy parents and no shortage of friends?! You don't know how I got here all the way, and why I got here Yes, stop looking down on me from the moral high ground!"

"I understand!! It is because I understand your feelings that I stand here!!!"

"If you want to stop me, then disappear too... Loki!!!"

"Arson!"

Loki swung a sword like a red-hot iron and rushed towards the black-haired boy, while Yasen, who had huge wings, ignited blue flames, with his arms spread out, and layers of steel-colored fences covered Loki's head. , trying to stop each other.Driven by wise rage, Loki dodged all obstacles, and at the same time attacked Niwa with magic of the curse attribute—but under such bombardment, the latter remained unmoved.

"how is this possible?!"

Zhizhi's face turned pale. Although he also vaguely sensed that this person's proficiency in using persona obviously didn't just gain power, but he didn't expect the gap between the two sides to be so large.

He didn't have the strength to deal with two people at the same time, so he turned his pistol on Niwa in a panic, completely forgetting that this thing couldn't kill a real person.And at this moment, Niwa rushed straight towards him.

"Danger!"

Zhizhi was caught by him, and the two rolled around on the ground twice. Shadow Shitong held up the smoking pistol indifferently, speechless.

"Tsk, what an annoying mouse."

Niwa pushed Akechi aside, and the gunshots grazed the ground beside him.

"Landa!"

It was the first time Zhizhi knew that one person could change several personas.Ya Sen just now disappeared, replaced by another persona, blocking in front of them.Shitong fired several more shots, but they all seemed to hit the barrier.He snorted coldly, and simply gave up the attack.

"Boy, you are quite powerful, unlike that brat over there who only knows how to talk. But your strength is good. How about it, do you want to consider joining me? I can ignore the past."

Zhizhi stared at the brazen man, and Niwa stood up beside him and said solemnly:

"I reject."

"Hmph, aren't you afraid of dying here? This is my boat."

"If I was afraid, I wouldn't be standing here. However, I never thought that I would have to fight you now."

Zhizhi raised his head suddenly, wait, what is this person arguing for? !

"One day we will come again and make you responsible for the bad things you have done. If you are conscious, stop today and give up your ambitions." Niwa met his gaze fearlessly.

"Dare to say, boy. I refuse."

"Really, that's a pity."

Zhizhi looked at them with a confused face and skipped over himself as the party involved in inexplicable negotiations. When he was about to say something, Shadow Shitong smiled contemptuously: "I will wait for you."

"Sensible hatred, as well as mine, will definitely be settled with you."

In the next second, Shadow Lion Boy disappeared in front of them.For a while they were speechless, until a wise voice filled with resentment sounded:

"Why stop me..."

"Because I don't want you to become a murderer." Niwa pulled away the gun in his hand and stared at him seriously, "Although he won't really die, you can't start it."

"Why do you control me?!" The chestnut-haired boy curled up on the ground and growled like a wounded beast. Niwa saw crystal drops of water hitting the carpeted floor. "Even if I become a murderer, what does it matter to you?!"

"Who would want to see a friend become a murderer!?" Niwa also raised his voice and shouted.

"Friend? Don't laugh so hard, I saw it with my own eyes." Zhizhi said with a cruel smile, "You don't need me at all!"

Niwa was confused: "What are you talking about?"

"I clearly saw you dating various girls in Shinjuku at night, don't deny it!"

Niwa was stunned for two seconds before realizing what he was saying, and he covered his forehead and sighed deeply.

"That's not the case at all. Those people are my acquaintances. To put it bluntly, I got acquainted with them for a certain purpose."

"What about me, am I just one of the acquaintances you met for a certain purpose?!"

Akechi asked, but Niwa was speechless.Seeing the hesitation in his eyes, Ming Zhi's heart was half cold.In fact, he didn't want to know the truth at all—the other party's motive for approaching him was definitely not as simple as wanting to be friends.The truth he was afraid to hear from his mouth was that he didn't need himself at all.Although this is predictable.

But after Niwa gave him enough time to be frightened, he still opened his mouth cautiously.

"I can't deny it. But not wisely, as you think."

"Enough, don't say more!"

"You must listen to me!" Niwa grabbed his shoulder and said urgently: "I approached you to save you. In order to avoid today's situation, I always hoped to meet you earlier."

From his confused words, Zhizhi keenly grasped the point.

"You already knew... this strange power, and my past..."

Niwa nodded silently.Zhizhi stared at him, and the word "liar" came out between his teeth.

"You said you didn't have any plans for my past, and you made me believe you."

After school every Friday, you waited for me in front of the school gate and told me that you wanted to be friends with me.Chatting with me, taking me to play baseball, watching a firework display, eating a buffet...all of this is fake.

So tell me, what else is there to believe in?

Zhizhi feels that he has never hated someone so much, and has never been so sad.The mood that I tried to hide before was like a lie.It's just a few months of getting along, why should you care about him.

Is it really that fun to lie to yourself about your feelings?Why is he still looking at me with pity?

"I'm not lying to you, wise. Everything I do is for you."

Zhizhi told himself that he would not be soft on this kind of rhetoric anymore, thinking that revenge should really make him more distressed, until he could understand the feeling of being abandoned by him.

"Say such nonsense, do you think I will believe you?"

There was an expression of indescribable bitterness on that usually refreshing face.Niwa was silent for a while, then took off his mask and watched him.

"If it doesn't stop you here, you will die."

"what are you saying……"

"If possible, I really don't want to tell you the truth."

The black-haired boy smiled wryly. He looked at him as if he was looking at someone from another world through him.

"I said that I knew you in the past, not you in this time and space, but earlier... I already knew you, and at the earliest time, we were lovers."

Akechi opened his eyes in disbelief, "What are you talking about..."

"You really can't remember? I lost that time, at the cost of my life."

Seeing his unresponsive appearance, Niwa hesitated helplessly for a moment, said in a low voice, don't blame me, then grabbed his shoulder and pressed his lips against the other's.

At first, Zhizhi was so surprised that he almost threw him away, but the kiss was very persistent, and gradually awakened some fragments that did not belong to him. They revived like a nightmare, screaming in the depths of his mind.

June 6.Muffin Day.The day we met.In an old coffee shop, a black-haired boy in an apron washing dishes.School speech.Companion, secret base.The suppressed gun was pressed against the man's head.Earlier, the sea under the starry sky was sparkling.The unique aroma of curry is specially made by that person; the lips and tongue that are carefully touched and deepened; the curly hair that is wet in the rain.Blood, the man's pained expression.

When Niwa let him go, Akechi's face was pale, with a mixture of fear, anger and ecstasy - seeing that complex expression, Niwa knew that he had remembered everything.

"I don't want to see you become a pawn manipulated by God again, and I don't want any of us to die... I want you to live, so I came here to see you, it's wise."

Hot tears rolled down the eyes endlessly.It's him.He has been reincarnated three times, unwilling to bow his head to the unfair fate. He has obviously obtained the chance of rebirth, but he is willing to start all over again, just for a sinner like himself who tried to kill him twice.

And this man said he wanted to survive on his own.

"You want me to survive...?"

Niwa clasped his left hand tightly in reply.He said, the world without you is really boring.

Wise never considers himself useful.He has no relatives, no friends, and can't even take revenge. He is a hopelessly weak man.The bluff appearance can't hide the pale and cowardly heart. He lives in a fortress of one person, and the walls are built so tightly that he almost suffocates himself.I don't want to take a step out of the fortress, but I hope someone will come in.Since that person hadn't appeared for more than ten years, he no longer insisted.

No one needs me, but I don't need anyone else either.By not expecting anything from the world, you can avoid getting hurt, and that's how I've always been.

However, if you are with Niwa, you will have desire.

Whether it's playing baseball, watching fireworks, or going to the beach, I want to do various things.

I became interested in this world.A world without you, I am, is boring.

"Why... you still want to save me at this point! Are you an idiot!"

Zhizhi sobbed and cursed viciously, and at the same time punched the opponent's shoulder socket, which was blocked by the opponent's palm, and then slowly held it into his arms.

"If I don't save you, there's no point in coming here."

"You ruined my hard-won revenge plan!"

"The future will be long, I will not stop you." Niwa Sakuya whispered in his ear, "But I will accompany you, no matter where you go or what you do."

——So, stop closing the door alone.

After the body in his arms trembled briefly, the black attire that was originally cursed gradually faded from the darkness and gradually became dazzling white.

Niwa stared at the white attire he was familiar with in the past, and the man's red eyes, couldn't help showing a gratified smile, and picked up a bunch of soft chestnut hair with his fingers.

"Sure enough, white suits you."

>>>

half year later.

The black-haired boy stood on the side of the road and put away his umbrella, shaking off the rain-stained cherry blossom petals on the umbrella, and pushed open the familiar glass door.The bell at the door rang, followed by an old voice.

"Welcome...what are you kid."

"Mr. Sojiro, how is business doing recently?"

"Hmph, thanks to you, it's neither salty nor light." Sakura Sojiro pouted towards the upstairs, "He's upstairs. Your luggage has also been delivered."

Niwa thanked him for his kindness, put the umbrella in the bucket by the door, and went up to the attic.In the spacious attic cabin, Zhizhi stood in front of the packed cardboard boxes and nodded when he saw him.

"You are here."

"Well. How's the cleaning going?"

"Mine has already been fixed, it's all about yours." Wise glanced at the two single beds by the window, and sighed slightly. "I didn't expect that what you mean by helping me to be independent refers to this place."

"Not satisfied?" Niwa looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Not at all, compared to relatives' homes, this place is considered heaven." Zhizhi sat down on the somewhat old sofa, "And you don't have to pay rent... Is this really good?"

His eyes were full of concerns, Niwa smiled and said, "Just take turns helping the shop."

After returning from Shido's boat, Niwa told Akechi everything.Foreseeing that Shido would want to take away Wakaba's research, they designed a comprehensive plan and rescued Wakaba who was almost killed at the critical moment-the moment when the mother was in danger was witnessed by her daughter Futaba, the extreme In anger, her persona awakens.The rescued Wakaba finally believed in Niwa's words, and decided to assist them in order to prevent her research from being used by the bad guys.Knowing the inside story, Sojiro resolutely quit his job as a civil servant, opened a coffee shop in Sigenjaya, and let Wakaba and Futaba live in a nearby home.

And the request to be a temporary resident in the attic was proposed by Niwa.Sojiro naturally agreed, the dignity of an adult does not allow him to see young people suffer, let alone they are Wakaba's benefactors.So Akechi, who will be entering high school this spring, was able to move out of a relative's house and into Lublanc's attic cabin.

And the one who moved in later was Niwa Sakuya who transferred to Tokyo this year.One grade lower than Akechi, he transferred to a middle school with a high deviation value in Tokyo.Akechi also successfully received a scholarship and entered a well-known private high school in Tokyo.

"But this uniform," Niwa looked up and down Akechi's familiar uniform, back then known as the Detective Prince. "I really miss it."

"Ha, isn't it because of the psychological shadow of dying once?" Zhizhi gave him a sideways glance.

"Although you look good in anything, this Bixiujin school uniform suits you better."

The sudden straight ball left Wise speechless.His face was red and white, and he held it in for a long time before he said, "Aren't you stupid".

"By the way, do you still want to read Xiujin?"

"Well, there are still many things to be resolved." Niwa frowned, "I hope there is still time."

"Do you want to change everyone's fate? How arrogant." Zhizhi said coldly, crossing his arms.He later heard many things from Niwa, such as Suzui who he failed to save, and Ryuji whose leg was broken due to a conflict with Kamo Shida.He saved his fate and that of Isshiki Wakaba and Futaba, but he was far from satisfied.

"I just want to make up for some of my regrets." Niwa bent down and stroked Sensei's hair, "I'm a selfish person."

"Without your selfishness, I wouldn't be here now."

The black-haired boy showed a warm smile for his rare frankness.We still have a lot of time.He whispered in his ear, this time I will definitely change your fate.I am afraid that only God is qualified to say such words, which is simply too arrogant, but who can say otherwise?Every Friday after school, your figure appearing at the school gate is like a god to me.Because of a single regret, I gave up everything I had, and went back to the moment earlier than the starting point.You pushed open the closed door of my heart, broke down the windowless fortress, and held my hand when I was about to fall off a cliff.

"You have changed my fate, Sakuya."

It was rare for him to confide his heart frankly, showing that he cherished someone, and it was not something worth embarrassing.And that's what the man told himself.

Niwa suddenly hesitated to speak, and looked away in embarrassment.

"To be honest, I hope that fate can be changed, but I also hope that some things will not change." He scratched his nose and said, "However, as long as it can save you, it doesn't matter if you can't remember it for the rest of your life... That's what I thought at the time of."

"You obviously used that method to remind me, so what are you talking about?" Wisdom looked at him stubbornly, he smiled shyly, held the face of the chestnut-haired boy pretending to be angry, and said seriously:

"Then I have to correct what I said before, my liking for you is not a friend's liking. It's more than that."

Then he kissed his lips, like for the first time, and like for the umpteenth time.

Probably from now on, the long night will end, and the rain will stop.

It turns out that life, not death, is endless.
