Miss Zashiki

Chapter 37 Chapter 37

"Didn't the concubine already say that my husband is only in the form of a soul now, and there is no way to show himself in front of you." Bai Xiangzi sighed softly with some helplessness.

"...Then he is always thoughtful, right? Can't you communicate with him? Why did you create that illusion?" Fu Xiaoyue felt a little annoyed: "Could it be that someone really likes to guard silently so much?" The white lotus Madonna who others don't ask for anything in return?"

Being too straightforward, Fu Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when seeing the slightly dazed look on the other side.However, when she wanted to apologize, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind, as if she had grasped a certain point of information that had been ignored before.

"That's not right... Since you became a monster because of Kaga Ichiro's grievances, and Kaga Ichiro doesn't want to avenge himself—"

Fu Xiaoyue thought about it while trying to organize his logic: "In this way, the essential purpose of creating that illusion for him is not to allow outsiders to avenge him, let alone for your own personal affair... ..."

At the same time, Kaga Ichiro, the only figure with a flesh and blood body, seemed to appear in front of her eyes.

Thinking of something, Fu Xiaoyue didn't go further to ask Bai Xiangzi in front of him, but turned his head abruptly, and turned to the medicine seller beside him: "Mr. Yaolang, you said before-because my body is real, so the illusion Those skeletons who can't see me in the picture are all fake, right?"

"Correct."

"Then," she pursed the corners of her lips, feeling a little dry in her mouth, "Kaga Ichiro in the illusion, he can't see me either... Is he also fake?"

When Bai Xiangzi in front of her heard this, her stern eyebrows and eyes suddenly trembled slightly, and she closed them silently with a slight sigh.

The drug seller seemed to remain unmoved, and his voice was also calm and unwavering: "No."

--no.

— not false.

Hearing this almost expected answer, Fu Xiaoyue felt that his mind went blank for a few seconds, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Bai Xiangzi lowered her eyelashes and was silent for a while, with a weak smile on the corner of her mouth: "...My husband feels that he needs to atone for his sins and needs to be punished."

Fu Xiaoyue came back to his senses and couldn't help shaking his head.

She really couldn't understand this logic—is the so-called atonement meant to let her dead soul experience the process of being wronged and tragic death over and over again?

Not only did it sound absurd, but it also made her feel intuitive—a bit weird.

"He thinks he needs atonement. What do you think? Regardless of whether there is any problem with the way he so-called punished himself, don't you think he is right?"

"...From the very beginning, my concubine just wanted to avenge my husband." Bai Xiangzi had a sad look on her brows, "Resentment, right or wrong...from the day my husband died, these things have been nothing more than a concubine. It doesn't make sense anymore."

Seeing the strong sense of vicissitudes in her eyebrows and eyes yesterday, Fu Xiao remembered inexplicably—"It turns out that only 12 years have passed."In an instant, a veil seemed to be lifted in my heart, and something was about to come out.

"During the 12 years since Kaga Ichiro's death, you have stayed on this island and never left, right? Then during this period, that illusion—how many times have you experienced it with him?"

"... I can't remember who I am."

At this point, Fu Xiaoyue finally understood where the strange feeling came from.

Although Kaga Ichiro said he wanted to punish himself, but for most of the time in the whole illusion, he was full of glory, praised by the world, enjoying all the glory and wealth, with his beautiful wife and beautiful family by his side, and he didn't eat it until the end One cut.Even at the beginning of the illusion, he didn't allow himself to re-experience his eight-year arduous career as a soldier, but directly started the illusion with the scene of emerging and returning as a hero——

Is this redemption, or is it a vacation?In the final analysis, who is really suffering in this endless cycle of reincarnation?

Fu Xiaoyue suddenly recalled Bai Xiangzi's words just now: "He feels that he needs atonement".

For a moment, she only felt a chill in her heart.

It turns out that the phrase "he thinks" is not what he thought it meant at all.

... Passion Seed knows everything.

Kaga Ichiro's self-deception, cowardly evasion, all of which she saw clearly.

Maybe she knew it from the beginning, or maybe it took too long to realize something was wrong.

However, even if she knew it, she couldn't be relieved, because she had already become a monster—once the grudge was resolved, the monster would also die.

Kaga Ichiro used that cowardly vanity pretending to be guilty to entangle Passionia to death.She could only watch him sink into the illusion endlessly, and after the resentment he held when he fell into a demon was dispelled, right and wrong were meaningless.The original intention of avenging her husband has become a kind of paranoia, supporting the whole meaning of her existence—and the price used to maintain this paranoia is that the love she once had for her husband is gradually depleted day by day, and eventually dies do.

……

"—Master? Master, what's wrong?"

Fu Xiaoyue was brought back to his senses by a series of soft calls yesterday, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the Inugami in front of him looking at him worriedly.

In those clear and focused eyes, he could clearly see the expression that he was so devastated that he almost cried. Fu Xiaoyue shook his head feebly, indicating that he was fine, and turned his eyes away, not daring to look at the white face in front of him again. Xiangzi looked on her face.

As a result, when she turned her head, she happened to meet the two bright and agile eyes of the Nine Lives Cat beside her.

In an instant, something flashed through her mind, and then the whole monster froze completely.

Nine Lives Cat originally looked at her with unconcealed concern, but now seeing her staring at him in a daze, not long after, the pair of proud cat eyes dodged, and was stared at for a few more seconds, with pointed ears It's all starting to turn red--

She started to shout angrily: "Why are you so stupid!? Stupid Fu Xiaoyue!"

Fu Xiaoyue's chaotic mind was suddenly cleared by the scolding, as if he suddenly woke up from a dream, he turned around and stared at the passion fruit in front of him:

"I have a solution!"

-

"Master, why do we have to enter this illusion again?" Inugami put her on the ground lightly, while taking the heavy bone sword from her hand.

Fu Xiaoyue stomped his feet lightly, and sure enough, he saw the already somewhat familiar Long Street, followed by the hustle and bustle again.

"There is no way, Kaga Ichiro can either hide in the sword and pretend to be dead, or hide in the illusion and pretend to be stupid... If we want to force him to show up, we might as well bring this sword to look for him in the illusion, and see how he still pretends .”

Seeing that it would take some time for the Bone Legion on the other side of the long street to come over, she first turned to look at the medicine seller next to her, and hummed with some dissatisfaction in her mouth: "Mr. Yaolang, it's your fault , since you discovered something was wrong a long time ago, why didn't you tell us at all before?"

"In order to respect you, the thoughts and results of the hard discussion." The young man's beautiful face did not show any emotion similar to guilt, and he replied softly.

"..."

Fu Xiao was often choked up yesterday, and at the same time, he also recalled his previous smug and self-satisfied attitude—knowing that he was wrong, he didn't continue to expand this topic.

So, just talking nonsense among the four members for a long time, the skeleton army headed by Kaga Ichiro finally slowly approached.

Fu Xiaoyue saw the high-spirited look on that man's face clearly, and the corner of his mouth twitched coldly: "Get ready—"

"Stop! Kaga Ichiro!"

The three voices were almost merged into one, resounding clear and bright over the long street.

The drug seller slightly turned his eyes away with a look of disgust on his face, only a series of scales flying out of the medicine box beside him, followed by Zheng Zheng angrily.

The young general in high spirits suddenly stopped slightly as the horse under him moved forward.

During that momentary pause, the densely packed skeleton skeletons on the entire street froze completely in various strange postures, as if the pause button of the screen had been pressed.

After this momentary pause, the whole picture began to move again.

Fu Xiaoyue frowned and stared at that figure, and shouted crisply: "Kaga Ichiro! You are dead!"

The screen froze again for a moment, then moved again.

"—passion seed is also dead!"

The entire long street was finally completely dead silent.

Fu Xiaoyue tried to raise the bone sword with both hands: "You should know this sword, right? She made it out of her own bones as a container for your soul to attach to... She just died not long ago, This sword was taken from her."

"She made this illusion for you at the end before she died. When this illusion is over, you will have nowhere to hide, and you will be a lonely ghost wandering here, and you will never be able to escape-you still want to continue Are you going to play dumb?"

The figure stiff on the horse's back trembled slightly. After a long time, he finally hesitated, and slowly turned his head to look at this corner.

Fu Xiaoyue finally let go of her sorely raised arms, and she handed the bone sword to Inugami again, nodding at the same time: "It seems that we can finally have a good communication."

-

"……finished?"

Bai Xiangzi hugged her knees and sat quietly under a short tree, her eyes were blank on her stern face, she didn't know what she was in a daze for, but when she saw their figures appearing in front of her eyes, she was slightly startled.

"Well, it's much faster than expected, isn't it?" Fu Xiaoyue nodded, with a smile on his face: "When he heard that there was no backer, he was so frightened that he would roll off his horse. After a few bluffs, he completely collapsed—wow, I’ve never seen such an easy-to-solve grievance, if you had been hard-hearted before, you could have gotten rid of him yourself.”

"...Really." Bai Xiangzi responded lightly, lowering her eyes.

Fu Xiaoyue looked at her for a while, thought about it, and added: "Speaking of which, it's not so fast... After all, the time in the illusion is different from the outside. I scolded him for a long time before I woke him up." .”

Bai Xiangzi raised her eyes, her blood-colored pupils quietly looked at her.

She hurriedly tried to recall it seriously for a while: "For example, I scolded him - you don't even have the courage to avenge yourself, has all the courage in your life been spent on betraying your vows and marriage - etc. Yes, no matter how heartless he is, he will always feel embarrassed if he listens too much. And Mr. Yaolang next to me, don’t be fooled by his boring appearance. In fact, his mouth is very poisonous. We certainly wouldn't be as efficient without him on the sidelines!"

Bai Xiangzi stared at her silently for a long time, then smiled slightly: "You are much braver than my concubine..." She raised her eyes to look at the drug seller at the side, and said softly, "You were too worried before. , she is much braver than you think."

——Yong!dare!

It is the first time that people (demons) use these two words to praise her when she grows up so big. Fu Xiaoyue was flattered and waved her hands quickly: "Nothing, how could I be braver than you..." She thought seriously "If I really want to say it, it may be precisely because I am more timid than you, so I have always been able to distinguish what I can do and what I can't do."

"——You are actually just an ordinary woman, aren't you?" Seeing the startled look on Bai Xiangzi's face, Fu Xiaoyue recalled the contents of the game's biography, and organized the words carefully: "It's not because of you If you are more unfortunate than others, and have experienced more tragic things than others, you have the obligation to shoulder heavier responsibilities than others... For things that are beyond the scope of your ability, you can already let go."

When Bai Xiangzi heard the words, there was a trace of unprecedented confusion between her brows and eyes, and she was silent for a while: "...how is he now?"

Pointing to the bone blade in the dog god's hand beside him, Fu Xiaoyue curled his lips: "It's still in it. But now that the grudge has been resolved, he is just an ordinary soul with no sense and ignorance. He came out of Qiangwei Island and waited for the ghost to come. Just take him away."

Bai Xiangzi nodded, then stopped talking, just looked at her gray and blue fingertips on her lap.Starting from there, the whole body gradually began to lose consciousness—the grudge disappeared, and she, as a monster, was about to completely perish in this world.

Watching her breath gradually weaken, Fu Xiaoyue seemed to suddenly think of something, and squatted in front of her again: "By the way, Kaga Ichiro said before that he has been sorry to you in this life, and if he has a chance in the next life, he will definitely do it." Everything he has, I will make it up to you."

Bai Xiangzi closed her eyelashes, shook her head weakly, and it was difficult to speak out: "Even if you haven't died in this life, how can you expect the next life... Let him reincarnate with peace of mind, and don't have to think about the past anymore."

Fu Xiao nodded seriously when he heard the words yesterday: "I think so too. I've been ruined by him all my life, how can I pay for my next life?" She stood up and took the bone blade from Inugami's hand with both hands, " Seeing that you seem to have no strength now, I will keep this sword for you for a minute. Let's be cool——with the bone as the blade! The past is the past! Break it in two!"

After speaking, she tremblingly raised the sword in her hand, swung it awkwardly, then handed it back to Inugami, and when he was not paying attention, she stretched out her finger and swiped the tip of the sword.

"Owner--!"

With the expression of the dog god boy that the sky was about to fall, a few drops of blood quickly appeared on Fu Xiaoyue's fingertips, but she didn't care to appease her companions first - she squatted back in front of Bai Xiangzi, and also Regardless of whether his hands were dirty or not, he stretched out his fingers and stuffed them into her mouth.

Passion seed: "..."

Fu Xiaoyue suggested her sincerely: "Be good, take a few more mouthfuls and swallow."

Under the chaos, Bai Xiangzi swallowed the bloody smell subconsciously and obediently.Soon, it was as if a thick layer was covered in front of my eyes and ears, and even the foreign body sensation in my mouth disappeared.

——This life is frighteningly long...but it's finally over.

Thinking of this, she fell into complete darkness and silence.

-

Seeing those clear blood-colored eyes open again, Fu Xiaoyue immediately pulled out his fingers from the opponent's mouth and hid them behind his back. He opened his eyes innocently towards her, and smiled innocently and innocently: " Oh, what kind of young lady is this, why are you sleeping here?"

At the same time, she couldn't help but akimbo proudly in her heart: "Fortunately, I came up with an idea. @月先生So you also have something you don't know, not only the nine-life cat, but the bone girl also has the passive skill of resurrection—— Didn't expect that?"
