dark color

The young man stood among the crowd, showing a deep, crazy smile, and his eyes were surprisingly bright.He looked down at his white palm, then stretched it in the direction of the man, "Pelsona,"

He said softly, with a bit of innocence in his expression.

"Did you see that we are all the same. These hands have long been stained with endless blood. No matter how you wash them, they will eventually leave traces of corruption."

Talking about wanting to live the life of ordinary people, talking about the personal rights of people with Alice abilities... To put it bluntly, they are just a group of people who want to escape from him, with such an upright, untainted expression and soul.

The pure white who has not been stained with blood can naturally return to the sun, so what about him?He deserved to be alone in this dark cage, watching their unscrupulous laughter?And then be left behind by everyone, to sink alone in the endless darkness?Obviously everyone is the same, but there are some people who are born to live under the sun, and then they don't know anything and just...abandon him like this.

It was as if, among all the people, he was the only one with that kind of inhuman power, and he was forever separated from the crowd. Obviously, everyone is such a monster, isn't it?

How could this not make him resentful?These people who will always use their own purity to stay away from him, just looking at them, will cause uncontrollable malice in their hearts.Since he couldn't stand under the sun together, he chose to imprison them forever and use these hands to bind their souls.The boy showed a distorted smile, and they would accompany him into the unreachable darkness.

Nice ending, isn't it?Therefore, Izumi Kohira, who encouraged the students to escape from the academy back then, should be damned, and the man in front of him, who had stained his soul with the same filthy color as him, but could still touch the sun, Kuonji slowly lowered his gloomy eyebrows , even more damn!

The outstretched palm was retracted, and then raised high.The gracefully shaped phalanges bent slightly, and then neatly drew an arc in the air.The smell of blood diffused in this instant.

The young man opened his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly as if he was enjoying himself, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was still as innocent as a child. He no longer looked at them, and his tone was casual and tired, "Except for the young master of the Atobe family, everyone else ..."

After a subtle pause, the boy deepened his smile, "Kill them all!"

Even, including the one just now, the face of the "similar" Narumi he called became paler and paler.He turned around and said with a wry smile, "Persona, this time, are we being implicated by you?"

Without waiting for the man to answer, he turned around and threw away the suppressor on his body.

The hormonal Alice spread out in a large area, and the enemies who rushed to the front couldn't help but blushed.The man smiled slightly, his delicate eyebrows and eyes were as delicate and beautiful as flowers. "Hey, stop these guys who are rushing up."

The confused person nodded slightly, and then fought with his companions behind.The scene became chaotic, but there was no smile on the man's face.

"Hormonal Alice, that's not how you use it..."

He whispered to himself, smiling bitterly.

Originally, the non-combat Alice was only used to spy on intelligence, but once it was used in such a large area, it would not last long at all.Moreover, that person, the battlefield arranged by Principal Jiuyuanji, how could it be nothing more than that?

However, the sudden flames made him startled for a moment, and then he turned around worriedly. The man's voice was startled and angry, "Zao, your body is still very weak, don't..."

nonsense.What he met was a pair of equally surprised red eyes.

Hinata Zao looked at the flame that suddenly appeared in disbelief, and then fixed her eyes firmly on the man's palm.

A small blood-colored lotus bloomed quietly in the man's white and broad palm. It was so gorgeous, dangerous, and so resolute that people dare not look directly at it. Yes, the same smile.It was obviously a hot flame, but it felt like a world was cut off, burning quietly and indifferently.That kind of unspeakable love, hatred and attachment seems to burn all the creatures in this world to death.

Cruel and decisive, as far as Si.

"Flame...Alice?"

Narumi spit out these words in a floating tone, but quickly vetoed them.Compared with Zao's bright flame, Pelsona's flame is more like a cold nothingness, like death, full of endless tragic meaning, not so much the fear of being burned by the high temperature of the flame, it is better It is said that the blood-colored flame is too cold, as if even the soul will freeze if it is just a little closer.

"what is this?"

The boy-like man opened his eyes wide, and could no longer maintain his innocent appearance. Like a child who lost his mind and didn't know how to restrain himself, he vented his hatred loudly, "Pelsona, when will you With such ability? You really..."

He paused every word and twisted his expression, "As expected, you are going to betray me."

The black-haired man smiled slightly, but his gaze was so cold that there was no warmth in it.He turned around and did not answer such words. The air driven by the flames formed a continuous airflow, surrounding the man's body.They blew up his ponytail and the corners of his black clothes, almost blurring everyone's sight.

But the smile on that handsome face was so clear, it was deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.Cold, indifferent, cruel, and even a sharp smile with a hint of pleasure.There is no need for words, the person who sees this smile can feel an endless chill from the bottom of his heart. The contempt that this man contains in his smile comes from the soul and the ultimate power. Feelings - they can't even feel angry about it, just endless despair.

It's like looking up at the tiny dust of human beings forever, no matter how hard you struggle, it is doomed to be impossible to cause a wave of fluctuation in those cold eyes-humble into the dust.

Sweat dripped from Narumi's face, and more and more people began to regain their sanity.He began to pant loudly, unable to suppress the instinctive trembling of his body.At the limit, no matter how unwilling he is, the overflowing Alice will gradually disappear at his fingertips—after all, it is not a fighting Alice.

In the end, do you still have to seek protection from that man?There was a wry smile on his lips, but he still refused to give up and urged his almost exhausted Alice. There was a faint unwillingness in his heart, but more of a kind of determination.Don't be naive, with that person's coldness, no matter what position he stands on, there is no reason to protect him.Especially people like them who... have been hostile.

Involuntarily, he and Youxiang appeared in his mind, and there were many students who supported and followed Teacher Xingping. They gathered together, questioned that person loudly, and looked at him with extremely hateful eyes. "Teacher Xingping is so kind to you, Qin Shengling, why did you kill him!"

Their voices were hoarse, and they thought that no one was more desperate than themselves.

The man didn't say a word.As a young man, he just raised his head slightly, and then slowly, slowly raised one corner of his mouth.He remembers taking a step back involuntarily, only to realize he wasn't the only one doing it.Although the young man was smiling, his black eyes were so empty that they were hard and lifeless.

It was simply—the eyes of a dead man.

The curvature of the corner of the mouth is still the same, but it seems that something has been peeled off, leaving only a dilapidated body.The boy put a white mask on his face, turned and left quietly.

"From now on, Serinu Rei is dead. The one who survives is...Pelsona!"

The scream brought him back to reality.Narumi patted his dazed face, at such a time, did he actually think of what happened so long ago?But he still couldn't help turning his eyes to that person, the one who was surrounded by many people, but could still smile calmly.He raised one corner of his lips, his eyes were no longer empty, but extremely cold, as if the solid ice from the nether world had formed a mask, trying to hide something important deeply.

This kind of Pelsona was no longer the silently desperate boy in his memory.

Ignoring the strange feeling in his heart, Narumi silently looked away, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.

I don't know when, those bloody flames formed an encircling circle, burning everyone who touched it.But this encirclement also included him.

His surprised expression seemed to please him and give away what he was thinking.Pelso glanced at him knowingly, but turned away indifferently.Behind him is a young man who is as dazzling and handsome as the sun. The young master of the Atobe family pursed his lips tightly, even in the face of the blood all over the sky, he still didn't look flustered.The young man stood behind him with a determined look as if he was using his whole life to bear such a back.

The young master of the Atobe family didn't know, but Narumi who was standing in front of him could see it clearly.Even though he was wholeheartedly manipulating the flames, the man's peripheral vision always fell on the young man. Such a cold person would actually protect him so carefully, meticulously and tenderly.

If they didn't appear on the bloody battlefield, the figures of these two people would be so beautiful that they could almost be painted.In his short life, he only saw such a sight once: that was Yuxiang and Teacher Xingping.They embraced each other quietly amidst the silently falling snowflakes—he just happened to pass by and froze in place, his heart full of ignorance and sourness.

"These fires...what's the matter with these fires?"

Suddenly, someone yelled in panic. He slapped the unquenchable flame on his body in vain. His tone full of fear and despair made people stop.

However, it was too late.

When the tiny flames stained the hem of their clothes along the blowing wind, no one cared.Although they were surprised that this person was different from the abilities recorded in the data, they took it for granted as an ordinary flame—an ordinary fire that can be extinguished at any time and is not fatal.Now, they just paid the price for their slight.

The bloody flame, nothing can extinguish it.They just keep burning, devouring, growing, and then using everyone as nourishment to gather into a fire that fills the sky.

No one can stop them, those flames seem to have spirituality, once they cling to a person, they will burn until he turns into nothingness, no trace can be left, and then the grass, soil, and everything around.

They watched helplessly as their companions screamed, their skin, muscles, and blood were gradually burned away, and then their pale bones were exposed, and finally even the ashes were swallowed up.Surrounded by wailing, tumbling humans and flames, there was nowhere to escape.In this purgatory-like scene, even the villain whose hands were stained with blood couldn't help trembling all over!

Screams, begging, these voices mixed together, almost covering the world, but the man remained unmoved, with a cold expression on his face.He turned around, stretched out his hand to gently cover the boy's eyes, his warm breath made the boy's skin tremble.

The man's tone was so gentle that it was almost pleading, but it carried the coldness from the soul, after all, he was not such a weak thing.He said softly, "Jingwu, don't look."

"Pelsona...let go,"

The boy didn't move, but turned his head slightly, turned his face to the man's direction, and repeated, "Let go."

He didn't care about the big hand in front of his eyes, because he knew that struggling was futile, he just repeated firmly over and over again, "Let go of me, Pelsona."

If they dare not even face such a thing, the distance between them will be even more disparate.In fact, he knew that this man had never shown his side in front of him, his cruelty, his coldness.

But at this moment, he just thought, at this time, if even he escaped, who else would step forward and stand in this man's world? This world is full of sin and desolation, and he can't salvage him , then, at the very least, he can choose to stand with him - until the end of this world.

"This kind of thing, my uncle can..."

Before the words were finished, they all turned into indistinct sounds, and the other palm stopped the boy from blurting out.

Pelsona stood behind the boy, his outstretched arms formed an almost embracing posture, holding the boy in front of his chest.Even with the scorching flames, this person's chest was cold with an undetectable smell of blood.

Everything seemed to return to that night again, when Pelsona hugged the barefooted him in his arms, and returned to the warm bed in just a moment.At that time, he still didn't understand what he wanted, and he was inexplicably annoyed.However, the aura of that man was deeply imprinted in his mind, so familiar.

Atobe was slightly dazed, but he heard the man smiling softly in his ear, and continued his own words, "Of course Master Atobe can do it."

Subtly, with a hint of connivance and determination, just one sentence made his heart beat inexplicably out of order.

"But,"

The voice said slowly, "I don't want you to see it, Jingwu."

It was as if something extremely deep and shallow emerged from this man's words, as if after a whole winter of hard work, he finally pushed open the tender buds of the cold and hard soil, those who were covered by his indifference. , covered with cruelty, deeply suppressed for a long time... the last bit of softness.

"Kego Atobe should always stand at the top, smiling proudly, and then move forward firmly without a trace of haze - a girl said so a long time ago. At that time, she envied you .”

Although it was in a surrounding posture, the young man felt that the embrace was getting colder and colder, and the man's tone still had a soft smile, but it was no longer the same as before... as if he had seen through something, it was impossible to describe that moment That feeling, but that deep touch still remains in my heart.

"In Keigo Atobe's world, these shouldn't exist."

The hand covering his face left, but there was no trace of flame anywhere he could see.

A large part of the land was sunken for no reason, and the surroundings were strangely quiet. The wailing disappeared, and most of the crowd disappeared with them.Other than that, all that's left is a desert.

Or... is it too late?Atobu lowered his eyes, and the man's eyes were full of alienation again, as if the softness just now was nothing but an illusion.The heart was immersed in the cold water, and it sank little by little, almost imperceptibly.

Forcibly let him understand how far the world between the two of them is.

"hateful……"

In the silence, Pelsona raised his head and looked at the pale boy. "Principal Kuonji, give up."

"You actually told me to give up?"

After the silence, the boy roared with a distorted expression, "How could I give up! Someone like you actually told me to give up!"

"It's just a pawn trying to escape from me. You are all the same. All you think about is yourself. There will never be anyone...even one, stay by my side."

His voice gradually became smaller, and finally turned into a low whisper, "It's always been just staying away."

"But that's okay,"

He laughed, with hysterical madness, "I can kill Xingping Spring, and the same can kill you! No one can escape from me!"

"Principal Kuonji!"

Narumi said loudly, "Stop it, all of this..."

It doesn't make sense!

"Shut up! Narumi!"

The young man said fiercely, "By the way, you are also one of that person's supporters. Even if you stay in the school, you will betray the academy one day, traitor! Liar! All of you...Damn it!"

"That person has gone crazy."

Frowning slightly, Atobe rolled his eyes in disgust.

The young man frantically twisted his expression, put a ring inlaid with amber gems on his hand, bit his finger casually, and soaked the entire gem with blood.

The gemstone emitted an ominous light, and gradually, the ring that had absorbed the blood turned a deep reddish brown.Dirty, yet radiating a dazzling light.

"That... what is it?" Narumi asked unconsciously, caught by this strange scene.That stone, no matter how you look at it, looks like...Alice's crystallized stone.But, how could Alice's crystal stone absorb blood?

"That stone is not just a crystal stone."

A cold voice said this, with an indescribably strange breath.

"Parsona?"

"It is said that decades ago, there was a crazy space-time Alice capable user. In order to maximize his power, he turned all his Alice together with this person into a crystal stone. Unexpectedly, this stone, It actually fell into his hands."

Slightly raised the corner of one lip, the man's words were full of sarcasm.Isn't it a good match for the fossil of a madman to fall into the hands of a madman?

"how come……"

His eyes widened in shock, was this stone actually made of human flesh and blood?An endless chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and Narumi instinctively wanted to stop it.

"It's useless,"

The black-haired man said lightly, "From the moment he was stained with blood, no one can stop him. That person, Principal Kuonji, activated such power at the cost of his own vitality..."

So, even he can't stop it.

Pelsona stood there, watching the boy in the distance gradually graying his hair, and the expression in his eyes gradually dimmed.He obviously still looks like a young man, but he is so depressed that he has lost any vitality.However, he was still smiling.

What kind of obsession is it that can make such a powerful person pay such a price?As the god of death, he knew better than anyone else. Although he would not die immediately at this time, there was not much time left for this person.

Such a thing is almost incomprehensible to him.He is used to assessing the value of everything, and then calmly tells himself what to do to get the greatest return. Even if it is something like rebelling against the gods, he can still do it without haste and step by step.Although he seemed to be dancing on the edge of a blade, always using his own life as a bargaining chip, his mind was always calm, and then gradually, it became icy cold.

Giving everything for something, regardless of everything, he probably did such a thing, but his memory was erased-then, he can calmly say that all things that affect him should be eradicated.There is no benefit to resurrecting everyone, except for angering the gods, even if he saved his life.

Look, his blood is always cold, so when he leaves every world, he can cut it off mercilessly.He abandoned the original self, and similarly, he personally slaughtered the last softness in his heart.

The man lowered his eyes, and the breath around him gradually cooled down, and finally, it turned into a calm and calm.He raised his eyes lightly, but there was nothing but indifference in his black eyes.

The light of the ring became more and more dazzling, almost covering the whole world.

"I'll hold up the barrier later and run out at this time."

He was cold and authentic, and never looked back from the beginning to the end.

Atobe pursed his lips tightly, and did not ask the question "Then what do you do?"All he could do was run away from afar with his fastest speed.So powerless, so... frustrated.

The man laughed wildly, "It's useless! It's useless! Even if you have an enchanted Alice, you can't resist the power of space. The collision of two spaces will shatter everything!"

"Run."

Pelsona was unmoved, and just said this lightly.The white light began to erode the edge of the enchantment, and it couldn't last long at all.

One hand supported the enchantment, but the other hand lay flat on his chest, forming strange handprints.

Substitution technique... As long as you use this technique before this power surrounds you, you'll be fine.However, Pelso paused for a moment in the seal gesture, and a sweet and sticky feeling rose from the depths of his throat, of course he knew what it was.

Sure enough, the power that belongs to "nothing" has been used for so long, is it still too reluctant?Spiritual power, demon power, chakra, a small part of several powers that could not be integrated collided in the body, and the sharp pain tore every nerve.

Did you choose this time?Pelsona's expression remained unchanged. Speaking of which, it was thanks to the most advanced suppressor he got from school that Alice didn't go berserk too.

There was a blush from the corner of his mouth, and the man still smiled arrogantly. Just relying on this point, it would be too contemptuous to want to kill him.

The white light is getting stronger and stronger, the barrier is about to collapse, and the one-handed seal has been completed.

Lifting one corner of his mouth, he showed a cold smile to the fanatical young man. Pelso's figure moved slightly, but he heard an eager cry, "Zao!"

The black-haired boy knelt down on the ground, the palm covering his lips was bleeding from the fingers, his face was as pale as paper.The barrier suddenly shattered, and a beam of white light pointed directly in the direction of the young man—by the time he regained his sanity, everything had settled down.White light hit the man's body, but the boy was pushed aside.

"When did you wake up?"

Pelsona said in his heart with a cold expression.

"From that illusion."

An identical voice said, "And then I just kept looking at you."

So, is it still set up by that god?The deity of Pelsona has not died, but has been sleeping somewhere in this body.

"...However, this time, I really want to leave."

The voice became weaker and weaker, but it was also with a hint of a smile, "Finally..."

"If it was you at that time, you wouldn't have saved Zao, would you?"

"of course."

He said coldly, "It's just an irrelevant person."

"Then, what if the target is the boy with the family name?"

"..."

"Didn't you think about resurrection? Such a good opportunity was wasted."

"I did think so at first, otherwise I wouldn't hide it from you,"

A smile suddenly appeared in that voice, "However, I later felt that it would be good to go on like this."

"If you do Pelsona, it will be more... free. What's more, I don't want to see the students who were abandoned by the teacher again."

"You mean Xingping spring water? Indeed, Hyugazao is somewhat similar to you, but..."

He frowned slightly.

"Can't you understand?"

The voice said calmly, "I'm not such a kind person, it's just that I'm tired... I killed the teacher's self. Hmph, just think of me as a coward."

"From now on, this body will really be yours."

Hyugazao stood there with a pale face.This person, why...why do you want to save him?

The man turned his head, but he didn't look at him, his eyes fell on the blond man, "Narumi, do you know what to do?"

His voice was as cold as ever, and his expression was indifferent. Even though there was blood on the corner of his mouth, he did not appear weak.

"Take this black cat and run away quickly."

The white light became stronger and stronger, gradually covering the man's entire body.Under such light, the man's smile even seemed a little unreal. Looking at their expressions, he snorted softly, "Is it so...unbelievable?"

Although the soul contained in this body dissipated, it left him with some benefits.

The space was still colliding fiercely, but a black opening was formed behind the man.Not torn apart, but just out of this world?

The body leaned back uncontrollably, being drawn into another unknown world, unable to move.It's been a long time since I felt so powerless.

The man closed his eyes slightly, but felt that one of his hands was firmly grasped by a sudden force.It was as if he had exhausted all his strength and soul to keep him.

"Are you kidding me, I won't let you die!"
