On the boundless ice field.The blizzard was still howling.

The little girl silently opened her eyes in the black water.She let go of her arms around her and surfaced.She swam to the shore, her long black hair trailing behind her.She walked barefoot on the ice and snow until she reached the dead old tree.

Xi Yang knelt down quietly, stretched out her hand, and touched the green buds under the tree.

Under the dead tree, there is a flower, swaying like a flame on a slender stalk.

that's it.

In Xiyang's dream, flowers bloomed for the first time.

***

Under the silent gaze of the members of the Golden Clan wearing rabbit-ear masks, Zhou Fangzun and Kusanagi Izumo walked all the way to the top of the imperial tower, where the King of Gold, Guochanglu Dajue, was located.

"It's a rare visitor. I didn't expect that the Red King would come to visit me, an old man."

The real ruler of this country, the second king who has ruled Japan in fact since the war, is an old man with white beard and hair, dressed in solemn and simple clothes.His appearance is extremely majestic, his outline is like a knife carving, revealing an inhuman solemnity.

Zhou Fangzun sighed deeply.

All this troubled him.Both the girl and the power she represented troubled him deeply.Other than that, I have no other ideas.

However, as Shi Shu Duo Duoliang said, Zhou Fangzun couldn't leave Xi Yang alone.

——If you leave it alone, that child will die easily.

Don't talk about protecting yourself, that child doesn't even know the definition of harm, and will only bear everything that fate has imposed on her in a daze.

Zhou Fangzun knew this very well.

"That child named Xiyang, I came for her."

He said lightly.

Kusanagi Izumo took a step forward, bowed his head politely to the King of Gold, and started the statement instead of Zhou Fangzun.

"That's right, we took in a girl before Barbara, and then someone pretended to be her relative and took away and attacked the child. According to her, she was from the Golden Clan, and I took the child away under your order. After that, she once again He brought an accomplice to attack the child and caused the child to be seriously injured. We came here today to confirm whether this matter is indeed from your imperial order—after all, this child is a very important family member of ours. "

In fact, the matter could not be more clear.

Kusanagi Izumo just wanted to hint such a message to the King of Gold—that girl named Xiyang was very important to the Chiwang clan.

however……

"It is indeed an order from the old man."

The old king happily gave the worst answer.Kusanagi Izumo narrowed his eyes slightly under the blue sunglasses, knowing that a tough battle was ahead.

"Then, may I ask why you gave such an order?"

***

"Ah, you're awake, Xiao Yang."

When the little girl came downstairs, Riko Kamamoto was chewing a piece of mango mousse. Seeing her coming, he beckoned her to sit beside him, and pushed another slice of cake on the plate to her.

"Brother Zun and Brother Kusanagi went out to run errands. Deyu took Anna out to play. Brother Shishu said he would buy you some new clothes and went to the street. This cake is specially reserved for you by Hatta Gote. Try it. It's delicious."

Xi Yang was still wearing yesterday's cheongsam, with two long braids twisted twice, and the long hair hanging down, like the tail of some kind of creature.She quietly took the fork and began to eat. Although the way the knife and fork was used was rather stiff, the manner was elegant, and there was no sound of collision.Evidently well educated.

"Speaking of which, is that woman that day really your relative?" Kamamoto scratched his head and asked in confusion, "She seems to hate you very much."

"Xiluo is Xiyang's relative. The grandmothers of the two of them are cousins." The girl's voice was very calm, "This is certain. Before Xiyang became Xiyang, Xiluo once gave her A very sweet candy."

"Wow, isn't it? Can't tell, that woman looks like a lunatic, has she ever done such a warm thing?"

"Xi Luo is a good person."

Xi Yang said seriously.

Misaki Hatta, who was watching the mural, couldn't hold back when she heard the words, and sprayed Kamamoto's face with a mouthful of salt soda.

"Hey! Is there something wrong with you?! That woman is going to kill you and you still say she is a good person?"

"To kill Xiyang has nothing to do with whether Xiluo is a good person or not." Xiyang's red eyes were indifferent, "Anyone can kill. Xiluo is not a bad person."

"...I'm getting old and I don't really understand what children think nowadays..."

"Xi Luo is a good person."

Xiyang repeated solemnly.

Because, at that time, she was the only one who sneaked in, wanting to give a piece of candy to the prophet who was about to close forever underground.

“[Actually, I’ve always wanted a younger sister.]”

Xiyang still remembers that woman's slightly embarrassed smile.

***

"That girl is someone who can foresee the fate of all people in this world. It is a talent that violates the realm of the gods. If it is used well, it can save a country, and if it is misused, it may destroy the world. Don't let this kind of talent live among the people. It was used by others. That's why the old man issued an imperial order to bring it here."

The majestic old man explained his behavior in this way.He stared at the two people in front of him with those oppressive eyes.At this moment, standing here is not an old man named Guochang Lu Dajue, but a monster who has ruled the country for more than sixty years.

— King of Gold.

"The Scarlet King doesn't know the girl's talent, right? Those eyes can see anyone's past and future, and see the net of cause and effect covering this world. That girl's talent shouldn't be buried."

"...Hoo." Zhou Fangzun snorted, raised his eyes and looked at the second king, "Buried? Is it a good thing to see the future?"

"...the future is the most precious information in the world. If we know the future, we can make the most correct decision."

"Is that really the best decision?"

The red king confronted the gold king without giving in.His eyes are filled with disdain for the so-called prophecies and the future.

"Decisions are made according to the so-called future—in the end, don't people become the slaves of the so-called future?"

"Ignorant raving!"

"If you've seen that child, you won't think that the future is the most correct path. If you can know the future, you will end up being swallowed up like that child. In the end, there will only be no way to go. .”

Zhou Fangzun showed a slightly arrogant smile.

"What's more. That child is a member of the Red Clan."

"Oh?" The King of Gold asked calmly, "Is that true?"

The old man, who was in his twilight years but still majestic as before, stared at the Red King with a trace of displeasure on his face.

"As far as I know, that girl can't become anyone's clan. Her physique is doomed that she can't accept the power of any king. It's even more impossible to accept the flame of the Red King--that girl is touching your flame You will be burned at the moment. You know that too."

Yes.

Zhou Fangzun knew this very well.

That's why when he rescued Xi Yang at Tokyo Disneyland yesterday, he would surround the child with flames instead of piercing Xi Luo together.

"What the clans have is not just power, old man."

Faced with King of Gold's questioning, Zhou Fangzun just replied indifferently.

Even if the flames cannot be accepted.There is no way to hold this burning hand.The girl named Xiyang is also their family member, a member of their Chizhi clan.

This matter was decided a long time ago.

***

The door of HOMRA was suddenly violently blasted open!

"Who?!"

Misaki Hatta and Ryoo Kamamoto stood up at the same time!

Three figures slowly appeared behind the billowing smoke and dust.

A boy in a leather jacket and military boots, carrying a machine gun.

A lifeless young man in a restraint uniform and headphones.

as well as……

Young woman with delicate smoky makeup and permed blonde hair.

"Xi Luo, cut, is it you again?!" Hatta clicked his tongue, pouring red flames into the bat, "Chitose, take that child to the back first, here I will settle with Kamamoto."

Xi Luo chuckled, and raised her hand to stroke her long hair.Looking at the barbarians who followed Misaki Hatta and stood up with an extremely contemptuous look.

"It's fine for the Red King, if I lose to a pawn like you, it will be a scandal that will ruin my reputation."

She covered her eyes with one hand, showing a coquettish and cold smile, when she put down her hands, that eye had turned into the same deep red as Xi Yang's.

The breath has changed.

At this moment, Hatta Misaki felt that she was being targeted by a huge beast.The maliciousness that was so strong that it made people feel chills pressed down straight on him, leaving almost no room for breathing.

"Stop joking..." He became furious at the same time, jumped up and swung a thunderous blow with all his strength!

"I'm the attack captain of the Barbara—the Yatagaraya!"

But this blow full of violent flames was blocked by an invisible barrier.The barrier, like a barrier of wind, forcefully pushed Hatta Misaki back step by step, and then, suddenly lifted him away!

The young man in straitjacket who was originally standing behind Xi Luo closed his mouth, took a step forward, and blocked Xi Luo behind him.

"You haven't healed yet, so don't use your abilities casually. I'll be fine."

The man said to Xi Luo in a voice that was as lifeless as his expression.Raising his hand, he took off his earphones and put them on for her.Seeing this, the boy known as Leech quickly blocked his ears.

Then, the young man stared coldly at the people in front of him with those inorganic eyes.

"Then listen, I Zhi Nadu Bigu's voice."

The moment he opened his mouth, the sound of tearing everything ran rampant in HOMRA.Just like the young man's name, that voice is a violent wind, destroying everything savagely. The glasses in HOMRA exploded in an instant!The bulletproof glass of several windows burst open at the same time! !

The maximum decibel that the human ear can withstand is 120 decibels. If it exceeds this decibel, it may cause deafness. And this storm-like sound is raging in the room, and the extremely high decibels far exceeding 120 decibels shake in the ears of everyone. Akagi Shohei and Saka Tozaburota fainted almost instantly, and Misaki Hatta fell down heavily covering one ear, barely standing up with his body supported, but knelt down on the ground after Shina Tsuhiko raised his voice again. A great buzzing, overwhelming dizziness seized him.The young man standing behind Xi Luo came over with a sneer, kicked Badian over and rolled to the bar.

"Don't waste your energy. Shina Dobiko's voice is irresistible to anyone."

When he walked over and was about to kick down again, the pale girl stopped him.The little girl stepped out of the shadows and stood in front of Misaki Hatta.She didn't do anything else, just stood there, silently staring at Leech with those blood-red eyes.

"Oh? Why, are you trying to stop me over your own strength?"

The girl shook her head quietly.

"Xiyang will go with Xiluo. So, let's stop here."

"What, it's really boring." Leech pinched Xiyang's face for a while, then let go of his hand as if he was bored, "I thought you had some big moves. This kind of virtue looks really boring. .Hey, are you really that powerful-sounding soothsayer?"

"..."

Xi Yang didn't answer, just looked at him silently.Looking at Xi Luo behind him.

"Okay, let's go."

Xi Luo didn't even look at Xi Yang, turned around and walked out the door.Shinazu Hiko followed closely behind.Leech sneered, turned sideways, and looked at the little girl coldly.Xiyang walked forward calmly, but suddenly stopped.

Misaki Hatta held her foot from behind.

The boy with blood dripping from his ears desperately tried to stand up on the floor, but his trembling body didn't listen to the command.His voice suppressed the overwhelming anger, and his eyes that were burning with anger stared fiercely at Leech and the two people who were walking out.

"...Don't go with them, I can still..."

"That's enough, Misaki."

The little girl shook her head, and easily freed her ankle from Hatta's weak hands.She looked at him quietly, her bright red eyes were no longer cold, showing a bit of gentleness and tranquility.

"That's enough. Xiyang's fate has already been decided."

She has clearly seen the hopeless future, but her face is still peaceful.But it is no longer the indifferent indifference of the past.That was An Ran who knew the destiny, but had no regrets.

Everything she has felt so far, the warmth she has had, made her feel, ah, enough is enough.

Yes, enough is enough.The hole in her heart no longer feels cold.

So it's okay.Even if the road ahead is already dark, it doesn't matter.She already felt very satisfied.

"Thank you."

The little girl said softly.Then, under Hatta Misaki's disbelieving gaze, she showed him a small smile.

A small, gentle smile.
