How I was forced to be a boss

The huge airship that hovered over Tokyo for decades—Empire of the Sky.

In the dark room, the silver-haired beauty is sitting on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding a glass of red wine in her hand, her slender legs are crossed together, and her eyes are clearly soft. Against the backdrop, with a bit of decadence.

Like a flower that has bloomed to the extreme and is about to rot.

There was a sudden sound of regular footsteps in the distance, unhurriedly, until the visitor stood in front of the door, stayed for a moment, and then knocked on the door lightly twice.

"Please come in." The young man said softly.

Then the door was pushed open, and there was only a petite girl standing at the door, calm and well-behaved.

"Nice to meet, Mr. Weisman, I'm Kitano Reo."

……

Different from the feeling in the photos, Mr. Weissman's... feeling like a living body is more obvious.

That kind of breath almost came from the surface.

Although it was very inappropriate, a question still popped up in my mind.

If a person's heart is so dead that it cannot die anymore, and he has almost no will to survive, why do he still live in this world?

I was suddenly in no rush to bring him back to the surface to finish the work that should have belonged to him.

Under the gentle sight of the young man, she walked up to him, sat beside him, and looked out along his line of sight.

It's just the sky.

What the hell is he looking at?

"To be honest, I have great admiration for Mr. Weissman."

The Silver King had heard of the maiden, and the lieutenant had brought him her book.Is a man of strange thinking.

At this meeting, I thought it was sent by a friend to persuade him, and the words of refusal were already on my lips, but I heard her say such a sentence.

"Is it because of my previous research?" Besides this, he couldn't think of any other reason.

"That's one aspect of course," the girl said in a relaxed tone, "but what I'm going to talk about is not this."

"I'm curious."

"So far, what has supported you through these decades?"

"What's the difference between living the same life for decades and living just one day?"

!The Silver King thought of her book.

For a moment, he was unable to refute.

He thinks about his own life, and he is indeed no different from the people in the book who are stuck in time.He is unchanged.

He froze suddenly.

If it is true as the book says, then his ending should be...

"I thought about it from a different angle," the girl tilted her head, thinking, "If it was me, I would have used my anger at that time to burn myself and take revenge..." Pulling everyone to die together, until Anger is appeased, or it comes to an end in itself.

"Either forget about those things and start living seriously again, or..."

"Just die directly."

The Silver King's breath was stagnant.

He turned to look at the little girl sitting next to him.

In just a few minutes it left a deep impression on him.

This girl, under the calm and composed surface, has something roaring and roaring all the time.

It is madness that can pull everything around it to destruction.

She is dangerous.

Messy thoughts finally turned into these four words appearing in my mind.

Whether it is for the world or for the girl herself.

He wanted to say something, but he really couldn't answer her question.

Why on earth did he not avenge Crotia?Why go through this long, seemingly never-ending day?

"Since you are living as if you are dying, why don't you simply...?"

……

...Why didn't he just die?

Why……

The wine glass in the Silver King's hand just fell on the carpet.

The sound startled me, and I turned my head to look, and found that the silver king's eyes were a little loose and confused.

Only then did I realize that I was digressing.

Quickly apologized repeatedly, "Sorry! Mr. Weissman!"

I stood up and faced him nervously. I don't know why, but he still didn't seem to have recovered.

"I'm here this time to hope that you can rejoin the research on the Dresden Slate!" I looked at him sincerely.

"...Sorry, I won't take care of the ground anymore." She answered me sadly and apologetically!I.

"So, what if it's not just something on the ground?"

Before he could react, I took out my own blank paper and used my half-baked yin and yang technique.

"The hype I'm talking about is not as good as what you saw with your own eyes, so please open your eyes and see what happened in this world when you were blindfolded!"

The rune floated out from the talisman paper, circled around the two of them, and finally engulfed them with a ray of light.

When the Silver King opened his eyes again, he had already appeared on the ground. He turned around, but couldn't find the little girl, but was attracted by the scene in front of him.

"Is the world... burning?"

It was hard for him to describe what it felt like. The sky was collapsing, like the blue canvas was being burned to create holes. Under the holes, something dangerous, powerful and terrifying was about to move.

Snapped--

As if he stepped on something, he looked back and found himself surrounded by that substance.

Just as he was about to leave, the black shadow stretched and wrapped around his calf, like a vine man clinging to a big tree, parasitic and absorbing.

Something was rapidly disappearing along the place of contact, and he felt it, and he was supporting this thing.

Weakly bent over, panting heavily as if unable to breathe, various hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes.

"Crotia?"

The beautiful young lady stood in front of him with a gentle smile on her face. Just when he wanted to hug her joyfully, Crotia's face turned ferocious.

"Why don't you avenge me! You trash!"

Bloodstains appeared on Crotia's face, and her pink and tender cheeks turned pale, and died again in front of him, turning into ashes.

This time, with endless complaints and hatred towards him.

no no……

"elder sister……"

Various voices appeared around him, from the lieutenant and from others, and they were all saying the same thing.

"Why don't you die?"

silver!The Silver King hugged his head tightly, with a painful expression on his face.

Suddenly, he felt a warm touch of skin on his wrist.

"follow me."

The pulling force came from there, and it easily led him to break free from the thing that he couldn't break free no matter what.

In some places, there are even holes in the ground, as if they are about to fall into them accidentally, and then become part of them.

They didn't stop until they reached a rooftop, which was a rare and safe place.

"Are you okay?" It was the girl's worried voice.

The Silver King forced a smile

This is the first time I have used this spell. It is clearly stated in the book that it can transform the scene the user wants into an illusion, and leaving is only a matter of one thought from the user. When all the living things in it leave, the illusion will come naturally collapsed.

As a result, as soon as I came in, I couldn't find Mr. Weissman.

"Sure enough, it's because of lack of skill."

Here is the performance of the world swallowed by shadows that I want to show him, and it is indeed the picture that has flashed in my mind.

When Mr. Weissman was found, he looked very pale and looked terrified, as he should be.

After all, I was terrified when I saw it for the first time.

But he can't continue to talk about things in this state, so I still take him away from those things.

"This is the future we face, Mr. Weissman."

I told the story of the shadow again.

"Correctly speaking, the world is indeed in crisis." His face was filled with sadness. "If you let it go, everyone will be ruined."

"Now, only you can save us."

Weissman has not yet recovered from what happened just now, and his reaction was a little slow when he heard these words.

"I?"

"That's right!" I said firmly.

Stepped forward and took his hands, pleading sincerely, "It can only be defeated by borrowing the power of the Dresden slate"

"And you are the best developer of the Dresden slate."

! "No……"

"Trust me!" I interrupted him directly.

"That is not something that will bring destruction to mankind. Because it is no longer a problem within human beings, but a problem from outside human beings, then of course the further the development of the Dresden Stone Plate, the better. No matter what Such a power, as long as I can defeat that," I stretched out my finger and pointed to the waterfall-like shadow pouring down from the sky in the distance, "Then everything will be saved!"

The fact that the girl would come on the airship might have been the lieutenant's consent, and she must not have been able to deceive him.

"Mr. Weissman, your heart died when Miss Crotia died, but for so many years, even if you repeat the same every day, you still survived. I don't believe that there is nothing in your heart. .”

"You yourself are still seeking to survive, not to die."

Does he... want to survive?

Looking at his expression, I breathed a sigh of relief.

He will definitely do what I want.I am certain.

Mr. Weisman's weakness is too obvious, so obvious that people want to ignore it deliberately.

The death of his sister made him weak, but the sense of responsibility of a scientist made him strong.

Smiling slightly, I took him away from this illusion

In the boiling world, after the two disappeared, there was suddenly the sound of light footsteps.

That person ignored all the shadows and stepped on them to the rooftop.

The most surprising thing is that those shadows also ignored him, and didn't mean to hurt him at all.

"He came here unexpectedly." The visitor said with a smile.

"This is really dangerous..."

Raising his hand, those figures who seemed to never stop, could never get enough to eat, only knew to be crazily devouring, devouring shadows gathered on his white and tender palms with scars like black quicksand, unexpectedly well-behaved.

The wind stirred his soft black hair.

Like a helpless sigh.

"Hurry up, Ling Yang."

The shadow suddenly opened its teeth and claws and flew up, covering the entire sky, and the world fell into darkness.
