EKG Life's Mask

The darkness in the original impression suddenly turned into a sky of fire.The sound of flames burning in the wind, the sound of houses made of wood collapsing due to the flames, and the voices around me crying for help because of the flames and things happening around them...

I'm walking down a corridor that hasn't been engulfed in flames, where is this?I always feel that there is a very familiar feeling.

Where am I going?The direction of the flame?Why?Why should I go to the most dangerous place?Something... as if something important was left there...

"Wind Flicker..."

My own mouth, I don't know why, called out his name at this time, and then, just thinking about it, my feet ran forward unconsciously... There is a strong feeling telling me that Fengshuo is on the way In front, then, it seems that besides him, there is something... also there...

Finally, I came to the source of the flames. In front of me, there were many people lying horizontally and vertically. Some were dressed as servants, and some were dressed as onmyojis. Who were they?I always feel as if I know them, but it seems that there is no memory about them in my mind.

Gradually walked through places that looked like hills piled up of corpses. Not far away, at the top of the fire, my mother was lying in the flames, her sleeves were ignited by the flames and burning, but she seemed to have felt She was still lying there as if she was in pain, only her twitching chest would tell me that she was still alive...

The father was kneeling in front of a man whose face he couldn't see clearly, begging for mercy.The flame hit that man's face, dyeing that face a fiery red. Is it really because of this that I can't see his face clearly?The man stretched out his hand to his father, pressed it directly on his head, and then just twisted it lightly... The scream at the beginning was over in an instant, and the one that was twisted off with blood was...

"Wind Sparkle!"

I woke up suddenly, but the next thing I felt was a sharp pain in my chest.

"Uh...cough cough cough..."

"Chiyue! Are you okay!"

Calling like this, Feng Shuo's tense face almost leaned in front of me, and seeing me in this situation, his hands stayed in the air and he didn't know what to do.

"Wind Flicker..."

I calmed myself down a bit, and my breathing finally seemed to be better. It seemed that although I was injured, my lungs were not completely damaged.

I glanced around for a while, it looked like a forest here, and at this moment, what I was leaning against seemed to be a big tree.

"What is this place?"

As if I habitually felt that I should ask this question at this time, I opened my mouth on my own.

"You'd better not talk!"

Seeing my words, Feng Shuo quickly stopped me.But then, he himself had a bunch of questions.

"You are injured, you must rest now! How do you feel? Is there any discomfort? The injury must be treated... But how should it be treated? I only have a mask and I have no magic power to heal you Well, I'm not a doctor, I don't even know how to heal my wounds, what should I..."

Looking at the embarrassed expression in front of him, I don't know why, but I always feel a faint feeling of warmth in my heart.When was the last time you felt this feeling of being worried?

I always feel that after the death of my parents, my eldest brother will only focus on the family business and never care about me again. Then, when I get sick, I will always be left alone. The wind slave who used to accompany me, Also died because of the wind sparkle.But even for such a person, when he showed this face to me, I still couldn't help feeling very happy, as if I could live to be a hundred years old as long as I was looked at with such caring eyes Like.

"That's right! Doctor!" Feng Shuo said as if he had just reacted: "I'll bring you the doctor! Why didn't I even think of this!"

When Feng Shuo said this, he seemed to be planning to leave immediately.

"Hey!" I quickly called to him and said, "Are you planning to leave me here alone?"

Although he knew in his heart that this was not the case, but seeing Feng Shuo like this, he still wanted to tease him.

"Eh? No! How is it possible!"

Feng Shuo said with a troubled expression on his face.But soon he calmed down again.

"That's right, maybe that guy has already chased him over, and it's not necessarily true. It's not okay to leave you here alone."

Saying so, Feng Shuo stretched out his hand directly to me, just like when he was running away from the black ant, he grabbed my arm and put it on his shoulder before hugging me.

"Eh?"

He was really taken aback by his behavior when he didn't realize it for a while, and more importantly, it was embarrassing no matter how he thought about it.It's okay to run for your life yesterday, but now it's weird even if there's no one around.

"Don't... I'm fine, let me down!"

I said so and pushed his chest...

"Don't move..."

There was a trace of domineering willfulness in the mouth that said so, but it was not annoying.

"Didn't you say you would keep a distance from me?"

Instead of struggling, I nestled in his arms and asked.

"Now is not the time to say that."

He said this and started walking in a direction I didn't know.

I didn't say anything more, but I still felt a little disappointed in my heart.Why lose?who knows?You know there are ghosts!It's just a demon!

I feel that the eyes above my head are watching me, as if I can see all my heart at this moment, is it because of this?I always feel like I can't look up and look at him more.

As if he really saw through my thoughts, Feng Shuo asked: "Don't overcomplicate things every time, I neither intend to leave you alone, nor do I want to leave you alone because of you. Now that I’m hurt, I’m staying by your side.”

"Eh?"

Hearing him say such a sentence suddenly, I couldn't help but look up.

"How should I say it? Although I said to keep the distance, I don't understand your doubts. If you want to explain the reason why you didn't say it...you can just treat it as my unilateral shyness."

His eyes seemed to be avoiding me, looking forward and walking forward.

"shy?"

I continued to stare at him and asked.

It was as if if I continued to ask, his heart would be dug out, and a tinge of red was dyed on his mask, but even so, I still didn't stop, or rather, it was just after hearing this. If so, that's why I want to get to the bottom of it.

I stared at him with an expression that if I didn't say anything, I would think more in my heart. In the end, it seemed as if I couldn't stand my gaze...

He compromised and said: "I said that you are not my contractor yet! But, although you are not yet, in my heart, I have long regarded you as an exclusive demon, so you understand!"

"so what?"

I still stared at him with wide eyes.For a moment, I saw a sense of collapse on his face, as if he was saying "why you still don't understand after saying that".

"I'm looking at you with that kind of eyes!" He said: "That is to say, if I'm with you, if I'm too close to you, even if I want to attack you, I don't necessarily want to attack you, so you understand!"

The moment I heard this sentence, I suddenly felt hot as if I understood something.Even if they are not demons, but as the descendants of ancient demons, it is impossible for Onmyoji not to understand when they say such words, that is to say...love...lust...meaning?

"But the current me is just a mask..."

"Enough is enough, you don't need to say it."

I interrupted him hastily, but I only felt that my face was flushed, as if I couldn't face him anymore.If, as he said, then I was the one who understood from the very beginning and misunderstood without authorization... Isn't this kind of me like an idiot?
