[FF7] The second tucks in history

"Kate West, I really want to despise you on behalf of the cat food of the whole planet! Oh, sorry, you are just a toy cat being manipulated~"

Knowing that Kate West is a spy sent by Shinra, and also stole the key to the ancient temple door-the key stone to Shinra, Vivian kept poking its forehead on the way to the temple Repeatedly, "The company is really depraved, and even resorted to using Ma Lin to blackmail us! What a jerk!"

"Whatever you want." Kate West, whose neck was grabbed by Vivian, replied meaninglessly, "I have always wanted to be your companion, why don't you believe me? As for using hostages as dirty means ...This is Tax's job, I can't interfere." Saying that, it spread its paws helplessly.

An angry Vivian shook it vigorously, and shouted: "Shut up, don't bring up the issue of Tux! If you dare to do anything to Ma Lin... Forget it, just give me a good 'meow' first! "Pinch Kate West's thin neck and wave it up and down, only to hear the sound of parts rolling around in Burong's body.

Claude turned his head and glared at them who were clamoring, threatening all directions with a dark face—he was in an extremely bad mood because of Marlene's matter.Seeing this, Vivian honestly threw Katesh, who was also silent, behind her, and followed him to the rope bridge of the temple.Passing by Alice, she smiled tenderly at Vivian, instantly healing Vivian's little heart that was so frightened by Claude.

——Alice She... looks like Luke.

As soon as he took a step on the cable bridge, Vivian was suddenly bounced a few meters away by a strong resistance, and sat on the ground in a daze, touching his chest for no apparent reason.Vincent quickly rushed over to help her up: "What happened just now?" "I, I don't know..." Vivian got up and tilted her head in trouble—after Alice knelt down to pray , that strange power seems to have disappeared.

She took a tentative step and quickly retracted—well, well, she retreated completely.So Vivian greeted them with peace of mind and said to explore the way first, then pulled Vincent and ran into the temple.

The staircase of the ancient temple is a gorgeous and complicated spiral shape, and the steps are still very steep. Vivian almost fell over and chewed mud several times because he was too hasty.Feeling helpless, Vincent sighed, carried Vivian up the stairs as easily as she carried Katesh, and perfectly jumped over a fallen shadow at the top of the stairs and entered the hall of the temple.

There was only one exquisite altar in the ancient dilapidated temple, and Director Tax Zeng fell powerlessly in front of him, seemingly seriously injured.

"Yo, it's Zeng." Looking back at Claude and the others who were investigating the shadows on the ground, Vivian turned around intentionally or unintentionally to block Zeng, and greeted him with a calm smile, "Are you all right? Do you want me to call?" Ask Shinra to prepare for your funeral?" The words were ruthless, but there was still some concern in her eyes.

Vincent watched the interaction between the two silently, and put his right hand lightly on the "Cerberus" behind his waist.

Zeng gritted his teeth, sat up slowly with difficulty, gasped and murmured: "Ah... I tried." He fell down, his face as pale as a corpse was covered with sweat.Vivian couldn't stand anymore - he wanted to check on his injuries, but he didn't dare to move because of Vincent's bad expression.

Claude approached quietly, and communicated with Vincent about the situation of the shadows outside—they seemed to have no intention of doing anything, Vivian heaved a sigh of relief, knelt down beside Zeng, and poked him with his right index finger Looking at his face, he asked, "Hey, what are you doing here? Could it be that you were fired and came here to seek death?"

"..." Zeng didn't have the extra strength to bicker with Vivian, and after giving her a blank look, he raised his arm tremblingly and pointed to the altar, "This is not what Sephiroth is looking for...the place of restraint...yourselves...see Let's see..." Before he could finish the task, he lowered his hand dejectedly, muttering trivial words softly.He mentioned Alice more than once, and the girl in red with a fluffy ponytail walked over.

"You are wrong, the Land of Constraint is not what you imagined." Alice put her hands on her hips, denying with a queenly air, "And, I don't intend to help either—no matter what, Shinra must not be allowed to succeed." She turned her face away from looking at Zeng, and hurried to a corner, facing the wall in a daze.

Zeng laughed helplessly, said a few words to himself, and suddenly grabbed the hand of Vivian, who was kneeling next to him in the background, and explained intermittently: "The key stone...put it...on the altar ..." What was stuffed into Vivian's hand was an ordinary green stone, but it was slightly hot to the touch.

Vivian immediately called Claude and threw the key stone to him—then it should be the protagonist’s job—then grabbed Zeng’s long braid with his backhand, and dragged him fainted into another corner, Clap your hands and you're done.

She turned her head and found that Alice not far away was staring blankly at the relief on the wall.Worried and careful, Vivian poked her arm and asked, "Are you crying?" "No, no!" Alice quickly wiped her eyes and denied it, turned around and lowered her head sadly, " ... Zeng, is a member of our enemy Turks, but we have known each other since we were very young... There are not many people who can say that. In fact, in this world, people who can truly understand I'm afraid there are very few people." She said, her pretty face dimmed.As if engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, the absent-minded Alice accompanied Claude to the altar lightly.

What followed was a series of very magical performances - after inserting the key stone into the depression in the center of the altar, a burst of dazzling blue light burst out and filled the entire space.Accompanied by the deafening "bang" sound of the mechanism starting, a floor tile was slowly opened on the moss-covered ground, revealing the entrance to the underground labyrinth.

"Then let's go down first. Vincent, you stay here to prevent other people from breaking in." Claude said with a wave of his hand.He dashed in neatly, and when he landed, there was only a slight crash, followed by the sharp sound of the blade touching the wall.

Seeing that Alice and Tifa also rushed down, and there were only them and the half-dead Zeng in the empty temple, Vivian complained sadly: "I really want to see and see... well, senior, anyway, there are You Fei and the others are on guard, so it doesn't matter if we sneak around?" Holding his face with both hands + starry eyes.

"No." Vincent refused unmoved, Vivian's facial features collapsed at the speed of light caught him off guard, and the words of comfort or encouragement couldn't find the right situation, "But... anyway, I'm here. "It seemed insincere to say it casually, Vivian bit his lower lip and squinted at him suspiciously.

1 minutes later--

"Okay." Vivian shrugged and reluctantly agreed.Of course, it’s not because she really wanted to mess with the plot, but because she found that this place is quiet and deserted (except Zeng, who is in “deep shock”), and it’s very suitable for doing things that lonely men and widows often do when they’re alone—— She winked and moved to Vincent's side, and hinted: "Senior~ If you feel bored, we can do something else~" - Smile, you must smile ambiguously at this time!

Vincent crossed his chest inadvertently, and asked jokingly, "What are you doing? Don't you still have playing cards?" As for Daoyuan, she would be embarrassed if she made it clear, "That, actually, is some kind of emotional exchange activity..." In a thousandth of a second, he put on a calm and serious face, "That's right, it's playing cards. "

——Kuhu, what the hell am I talking about... there is no chance!Shy ass, Vivian Domino!

Vivian, who took out two decks of cards with a dark face, fully understood Cloud's complicated mood when facing Tifa (or Alice).

"Because there are no chips... How about answering a personal question whoever loses?" Vivian suggested enthusiastically while shuffling the cards.Vincent, who didn't seem to be very interested, said "hmm" casually, then smiled lightly as if remembering something funny, and asked her intentionally, "How do I know if you're telling the truth?" "Huh?" Weiwei asked. An obviously didn't react, and after thinking for a long time, he answered uncertainly, "Anyway, I won't deceive you, Senior!"

Vincent didn't answer.The garnet-colored eyes suddenly lit up, showing the brilliance of the dawn.

In the first round, it was no surprise that Vivian lost miserably—watching Vincent throw the last two cards with a smile, she angrily slapped the scattered cards on the ground, closing her eyes and showing With a generous appearance, he said loudly: "You can ask me whatever you want, and I will definitely tell you the truth!"

Vincent was amused to see her look as if she was going to die.He pressed his chin and pretended to be thinking, then shook his head and sighed "regretfully", "It's a pity, I have nothing to ask." The slot was empty, Vivian lay on the ground unbearably, and said weakly, "Then owe it first... Oh, God, my stomach hurts..."

After owed six times in a row, Vivian finally won a rare prize, and had the opportunity to turn the serf into the master and everyone sang (?) in unison.She couldn't hold back her smirk, her eyes sparkling.The more Vincent looked, the more he felt that he was in danger.

Pretentiously coughing a few times to clear her throat, Vivian was sitting cross-legged seriously, and asked slowly: "Ah, may I ask, senior, do you like anyone now?"——" He grabbed the cloak that was dragged to his side with both hands and wiped it off. Sweat in the palm of the hand, Vivian's heartbeat is about to break through the 250/min mark at this moment.

With a gentle arc of laughter, Vincent answered "yes" without thinking.The speed was too fast and the tone was not shy enough, which gave Vivian the illusion that "he was teasing himself", so he hurriedly asked who it was.The smile on Vincent's lips suddenly became weird. He calmly began to shuffle the cards and said, "This is the second question."

"What? Hey, it's too much!" Vivian was furious, and was about to pounce on Vincent's collar and ask, when the temple suddenly trembled violently: first, dust and dirt were shaken off symbolically, followed by large pieces of dust. Large blocks of stone, brick, and soil fell in groups like rain.Not caring about what happened, Vivian jumped up and looked at the corner where he had been lying - that guy had already run away!

Deeply deceived, Vivian shattered an oncoming rock in rage.

Finding the trapdoor along the broken and torn moss marks on the floor, Vincent easily opened it and looked up to call Vivian over.They jumped down one after another in embarrassment, rolling along the inclined ramp to the end of the corridor.At an almost sharp corner, Claude, who suddenly appeared, caught them in time because the inertia was too great to brake.The handsome young man with blond hair frowned gloomily: "Why are you here?" His tone was displeased.

"The temple is about to collapse, it's definitely safer underground!" Vivian said gesticulating, "Oh, yes, Zeng ran away, I'm sorry—" "I know." Claude turned his head and looked at the man behind him. The room, in a flat voice, "Just now we saw him and Irina in a room with murals. And... Sephiroth."

The long-lost name rang out again, deeply crashing into his mind, and Vivian was in a trance.

Claude went on sullenly: "I seem to... and Sephiroth... no, it doesn't matter-it turns out that this temple is the Black Magic Stone. In order to help us get it, Kate West is going to sacrifice herself to solve it." Mystery," he said, looking farther into the room with vacant eyes, shaking his head in exasperation.

"Yes, is it?" Vivian forced a smile, turned her head and whispered pretending not to care, "It's not too late to turn to the light...well, I can consider apologizing to him... eh!?" A kind of sudden The noise almost pierced her eardrum, and Vivian covered her ears in pain and fell to her knees.

Everything that is real in front of me is spinning rapidly like a vortex, but the sound that is close at hand is as far away as thousands of miles away, and the familiar touch of Vincent's embrace is not very weak, as if blown away by the wind.When the colorful scene gradually turned into a black and white gloomy landscape, Vivian saw a tall figure walking towards him calmly in the blur, squatting down gracefully, and the long silver hair fell on his cheeks crispy and itchy.

She was almost blinded by the stunning face in front of her.The man lifted her chin suspiciously, looked at her carefully—first his eyes were full of undisguised murderous intent, then colorful joy and suspicion—moved his thin lips lightly, and said a word.

Vivian couldn't hear his voice, but could barely read his lips——

He smiled slyly, and said with a little nostalgia: You are still alive.

The author has something to say: (Thanks to the adults who collected this Honkai work)

1. This chapter is mainly about the story of everyone going to the ancient temple.Some of them have been modified, for example, it seems that only C, T, A and Kate West entered the temple in the original work (it seems), and it should be Claude who first discovered Zeng who was dying.

2. About Uncle Wen saying that there is someone he likes—not to mention who, you can all guess it—I felt a collapsed sense of powerlessness when I wrote it.Please correct me if adults feel wrong! 【bow

3. The silver-haired man who appeared at the end of the chapter, I believe the identity is very clear without explanation! 【laugh
