[Complete] Sibyl the Immortal

In the world of ice, I have long dreams.

In the dream, the crimson flowers were swaying, and Xi Yang, in the sea of ​​flowers, closed her eyes and quietly recalled, recalling the glory of the past.The white twilight rose like a firefly, she smiled and stretched out her hand, wanting to touch those instant brilliance.

The cherry blossoms I saw with everyone in Barbara.Flying under the blue sky, there is a gentle touch on the fingertips.

The red leaves that I saw with Zun, when I was drunk, lay dizzy on his knees, and I was soothed by his blunt touch on the head, and Zun's side was the warmest.

When I went to the beach with everyone, I saw a very blue and beautiful sea. The orange juice was ice-cold and delicious.

The snow I have seen with Seimei-sama is different from every snow I have seen in the past. Boya-sama’s flute is very nice, which reminds me of the best time, Mibu-sama’s flower banquet, the night cherry blossom bonfire that night, Too beautiful to forget.

……

The days spent with them, even the most insignificant moments, are shining.

Oh enough.It is no longer painful.

As long as she has these memories...then, no matter where she is, she can live on.

—Well, I won't cry anymore.

The bluish ice sculpture showed a strange color under the light, and the woman was frozen in this ice crystal world forever in a floating posture, and the smiling face was frozen into eternity.

This is what Zhou Fangzun saw at first sight.

Jun Xun stood behind him on April [-]st, quietly staring at the frozen time.

"I can't save her. So I can only stop her time. Now she will not touch anyone, so she will not be hurt or foreseen. This is the only way to stop the deterioration. If you continue If it continues, she will lose the brain that stores memories, and she will not even be able to retain her own consciousness."

Now it is like this, at least it still has the power of memory.

"Zhou Fang-jun, what are you going to do?"

Hearing these words, Zhou Fangzun stretched out his hand to press the ice sculpture, as if he wanted to touch the face behind the ice crystal, and his dark golden eyes revealed complex expressions.So many mixed emotions.It all comes down to a smile.

"Fool."

Not knowing who he was talking about, Zhou Fangzun slightly exerted his hand on the ice crystal, and a meaningless smile appeared on his face.

"I will save her. If fate will take her, I will burn it."

Hearing this on April [-]st, he was taken aback, then smiled.

"Yes." The strange-colored eyes stared at the smiling figure of the girl in the ice, "Only someone like you can snatch a miracle for her from such a fate."

He stretched out his hand to Zhou Fangzun.

"Let me help you. What I couldn't do five years ago, I can do now. Although I still can't open the passage to other worlds, but I can send you back to eight years ago, so that on the vertical time axis I can still do the jump."

——Send you back to eight years ago, to the time when Miss Yuko was still alive.

"Remember what you said, Zhou Fang-jun?"

"what."

——If there is no miracle, then I will grab a miracle and come back.

***

Eight years ago.

Ichihara Yuko looked up at the magic circle that suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and frowned deeply.

"coming."

Jun Xun, who was forced to buy and sell for the first time when he visited this store and became a shop assistant on April [-]st: "Ah?! There are more?!"

As if the space had been distorted by an inexplicable force, the scene in the room was distorted into a strange shape, accompanied by a loud bang, a huge ice crystal appeared out of thin air in their sight, a red-haired man stood aside, his face He stared blankly at Ichihara Yuko.

"It's been a long time, or is it the first time we've met..." Yuko Ichihara narrowed his eyes and observed the two, "Anyway, I probably know what you want."

"Send me to the world where I can save her."

Zhou Fangzun's voice was as low as crawling out of the ground, Ichihara Yuko carefully examined his face, and then nodded slightly.

"I have really received this wish." She stretched out her hand to Zhou Fangzun, "However, to go to another world, you must pay a corresponding price. The price for realizing this wish must be your most important thing... So, I I want half your strength."

Zhou Fangzun clicked his tongue out of boredom, and hit his fist on Ichihara Yuko's palm.

"Take it. Then send me to that world."

The crimson flame surged out from Zhou Fangzun's body, gathered in the palm of Ichihara Yuko's hand, condensed into a small bundle, and kept jumping.

"If you want to save her, it is not enough to just go to a world." After accepting the flame, Yuko Ichihara added lightly, "I will send you to the world where you can obtain the props that temporarily renew her life. As for the props, You need to find it yourself. But it must be something related to the soul."

"what."

Zhou Fangzun put his hands in his pockets, and replied boredly.The huge magic circle rising suddenly under his feet didn't change his color either.He stared at the girl's face in the bright red magic circle.Among the ice crystals, she was still smiling, that expression he was familiar with.With a reassuring and satisfied smile, I don't know what kind of dream I am dreaming.

"As long as it saves that idiot."

Occasionally be a bit more demanding, idiot.

It's okay to ask me for help, it's okay to say "I don't want to die" to me, it's okay to say "please" to me, I will definitely save you.

The weak only need to ask the strong for help, how to save you is something I have to consider.It doesn't matter if you give me as much weight as you want, I can carry it all.

Girls have to act like girls.Let your unfortunate future, I do not accept.

In the brilliance of magic, Zhou Fangzun's voice was flat, but with inexplicable power.

"That guy will leave it to you for the time being."

Ichihara Yuko nodded with a solemn expression.

"I will."

"April [-]st, have you heard the legend of Sybil?"

Ichihara Yuko stroked the ice sculpture lightly, and asked April [-]st Junxun behind him.

"Yes,

I have seen Sybil of Gummy hanging from a bottle.

When the children asked her:

'Sybyl, when do you want something? '

she replied,

'I want to die. '"

Ichihara Yuko finished reading this poem in a low voice, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"This is a poem in the ancient Roman poet Petronius' "Satilicon", which describes the prophetess Sibyl. In Greek mythology, the sun god Apollo fell in love with Sibyl, so he Said to her, "Girl Kubis, you can choose one of your favorite things, and I will do it for you", and Sybil pointed to a pile of sand and said, I wish I was as old as the number of sand. In this way, because of loving this young girl, the Sun God granted her immortality."

April [-]st puzzled: "Isn't this a good thing?"

Ichihara Yuko: "No. The sun god gave her a long life, but forgot to give her eternal youth. The pain of aging is always with Sybil, even if her body is so decayed that it shrinks into a human trunk, it shrinks enough to be put in In a bottle, she can't die. She won't die even if 'the old limbs shrink as light as a feather'."

April [-]st opened her eyes wide and was speechless in shock. Yuko Ichihara rested her hand on the ice sculpture and stared at the girl in the ice crystal with unfathomable eyes. After a long time, she let out a long sigh.

"The fate of this child is just like Sybil's."

"Her mother loved her deeply. Until the moment of her death, she wished that the child could live. What a great love, let the soul that was consumed to the point of fragments attach to the child's soul, In this way, time and time again, he used his abilities to stop time for her. Time and time again, he brought her back from the brink of death."

"This child comes from another world. She and her mother are both supernatural beings. The rules of power in that world are different from any other world. Their supernatural powers come from the soul, and their spiritual power also comes from the soul. Using supernatural powers is consuming your own energy." Soul. Her mother died because her soul was exhausted. Since the mother's soul can no longer provide the spiritual power needed for recovery, where do you think the spiritual power consumed by her resurrection comes from? "

"That's right, April [-]st is exactly what you think—her mother's ability consumes her soul."

"Her mother's ability is to stop and reverse the time of the living body, which is an ability that consumes a lot of spiritual power. After experiencing hundreds of resurrections, you think that the child's soul has been consumed To what extent?"

"Visceral failure is the external manifestation of soul weakness. If this ability is not stopped, the child will definitely fail due to the loss of the soul. However, she will not die. Even if the brain fails, she will not die. As long as Her soul is still there, and her mother will stop her time at the moment of dying and bring her back to life."

"Huh? You ask why her mother doesn't stop? Of course it's because——she's unconscious, April [-]st."

"How can such tiny soul fragments that remain due to obsession still retain their own consciousness? All she remembers is—I won't let you die. I will definitely not let you die. I must protect you.—— This idea, that's all."

"What a joke, April [-]st. What started out as a way to save her ended up being her undoing. Blessings turned into curses. Love brought misfortune. See, the irony."

"Destroyed to such an extent by deep love... Because of love, she is not dead, and because of love, she is in a situation where life is worse than death... The fate of that woman is really... as sad as Sybil. "

Ichihara Yuko's voice sounded like a sigh.

"It's a good thing people die, April [-]st."

***

Zhou Fangzun came back to this store a week later.With wounds, gunpowder smoke and blood all over his body.He didn't talk nonsense with Miss Yuko, but directly stuffed a red stone into Miss Yuko's hand.

"The Sage's Stone."

The red stone refined by an evil alchemist from the soul of a city resident lies in the palm of Yuko Ichihara. No one knows how Zhou Fangzun snatched this stone, but the stone of the sage The other utility of is known to everyone here.

--Panacea.

"Here, can you save that guy?"

Ichihara Yuko lowered her eyes, looked at the Philosopher's Stone in her palm, and responded softly.

"Ah... this stone can cure her internal organ failure. But, only this time." She looked at the ice sculpture, "As long as that ability still exists, she will still fall into this situation again. What's more, there is A curse that deprives the five senses."

Zhou Fangzun was silent for a moment, then scratched his hair impatiently.

"What to do, just tell me."

"In a certain world, there is something called 'Universal Wishing Machine'." Yuko Ichihara lit a cigarette for herself, and slowly exhaled a puff of white mist, "That thing is the Holy Grail, and it is said that it can fulfill any wish of the holder .Every 60 years, there will be a battle around the Holy Grail. Seven groups of masters and slaves——Master (master), the chosen magician, Servant (servant), and the summoned spirits—fight each other, and the final That group is the winner and gets the Holy Grail."

"Just grab the Holy Grail, right?"

Zhou Fangzun looked at Ichihara Yuko expressionlessly, and Yuko lowered his eyes slightly, evoking a sinister smile.

"In that world, there is something that can save her."

"Then, send me there."

Ichihara Yuko's smile became more and more unpredictable, those eyes seemed to be watching from the outside of the world.

"No, Zhou Fang, you can't do it alone. In this world, the two of you must go together."

There is no chance in this world, only necessity.

It is inevitable that you will come here with her.

It is inevitable that you will go there with her.

In that world, the [karma] belonging to Xiyang is waiting.
