[FF7] The second tucks in history

Alice is dead.

——This was the first news Vivian heard after waking up from a coma for several days.

Sleepy, she stared at the hands clasped in her knees in a daze, only feeling that the sad mood seemed to be separated from her by a world, and she wanted to cry but there were no tears.My heart was stuffy, and I couldn't explain why.

Vincent, who was sitting next to her, handed her a glass of water and dropped the second bombshell - he said blankly that Alice was killed by Sephiroth in the "Forgotten City".A knife pierces the heart.Then Claude sank her into the lake of the capital of ancient species to sleep forever.

Vivian let out a "hmm" in a daze, then lowered her head and drank water "gurgling".Lowering her eyes, she saw the reflection of her own eyes on the clear and clean water: the enchanting beauty, like poison that has been quenched for a long time.She couldn't help thinking that the person she had taken care of who also had these eyes ended Alice's life with his own hands, and embarked on the irreversible path of destroying the world—the lovely little Douding back then is gone forever. reverted.Vivian bit the rim of the cup, with mixed feelings in her heart.

"Vivian, please tell me what happened in the ancient temple that day." Snatching the glass that was about to be bitten by her unconsciously, Vincent looked at the listless Vivian, took a deep breath and asked the question. A question that has been lingering in my mind for a long time.

Vivian's first reaction was absolutely not to speak out—she shook her head mechanically, and said dryly: "It's nothing, I think I might just have heat stroke at that time." To show that what she said was true, she opened her eyes wide and empty. eyes, but it was even more difficult to convince Vincent.

"...It's fine if you don't want to say it." Vincent got up and put the water glass on the wooden table beside the bed.It was only then that Vivian noticed that they were in a small, simple room, and wondered where it was.When Vincent walked to the door, he put his hand on the doorknob, and suddenly said casually as if he knew what she was thinking, "We are in Winter Village."

"Huh? Senior, what are you going to do? Wait, I want to go with you too!" Vivian flopped and fell off the bed, only to be wrapped into the bed by Vincent with a displeased face. Under the thick quilt, I was almost suffocated.

He raised his right hand to make a silent gesture, and ordered: "You need to rest." So don't let me see you running around, or the law will serve you! —— Vivian miraculously saw the meaning of the above two sentences from Vincent's eyes.

Lying down obediently, pulling the quilt up to cover his eyes, Vivian blinked innocently to signal that he could leave, and held his breath to listen to Vincent carefully close and lock the door after he went out.In the next second, Vivian kicked off the quilt and jumped to the ground, stretched his legs and feet, walked triumphantly to the only window in the room, and pushed it up without saying a word——

Then close it immediately.

"Ah chirp! Damn, it's so cold and cold!" Vivian sneezed fiercely, folded his hands on his chest and quickly squatted down, trying his best to lean against the heater under the window sill, raised his face sadly to see the heavy snowflakes flying outside the window, And the frozen blue sky, "How do you go out like this, hey..." She grumbled angrily, and simply hugged the heating pipe.

The clothes on his body have no function of keeping out the cold, and the seemingly heavy cloak is more beautiful than practical.It's too late to find clothes now, the matter has come to this point, the only way to do it is the last and worst move!

Gritting her teeth, Vivian stretched out her hand and tried her best to reach the latch on the window. After she pulled it down, she opened the window a small crack, allowing the bitter cold wind to squeeze into the small room and drive away the pitiful heating.The temperature in the room dropped below zero in an instant. Vivian stood up and tried to stretch his body in the gust of wind, forcing himself to overcome the threat of severe cold as soon as possible.

Blown and blown by the wind, Vivian, who was completely numb from the cold after a while, could no longer feel the temperature of the outside world, and she successfully got used to it.With difficulty opening the window with stiff hands, she awkwardly climbed onto the window sill and jumped off - when she landed, her legs, as heavy as lead, hit the hard ground with a snapping sound.Vivian straightened roughly, allowing Jenova to mend or something.

"Everything will be fine now, right?" She stood up as if nothing had happened, patted off the ice and snow particles on her body, and set off towards the street.Pedestrians passing by watched Vivian, who was wearing thin clothes, humming a song with astonished eyes.After questioning several villagers, and getting the answer that Claude and his party were going north, Vivian wrapped his cloak tightly and changed the route.

The farther north you go, the harsher the weather.The field of vision is filled with a vast expanse of whiteness ravaged by wind and snow, the few pedestrians are all dressed like bears preparing to hibernate, and the buildings on both sides of the road are blurred to the point where only a vague outline remains.Vivian staggered with difficulty through the knee-deep snow, bending over the howling northwest wind.A snowflake accidentally landed on the tip of her nose, which was as red as a licked sugar ball, and it lasted for a long time before it slowly melted.

"Where did the seniors go!" Vivian sniffled and muttered in a low voice.The wind was so strong that she could barely hear what she was saying.Aimlessly just walking north, straight up a terrifyingly steep slope.

"Hey, you! I'm talking about you, girl! It's a steep slope, very dangerous, don't go!" A person walking around noticed that Vivian was going to go down here, and ran towards her with great difficulty. Shouting pleas.Vivian nodded gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, but I still want to go."

"Why don't both of them listen to the old man's words, you have to suffer in front of your eyes, right!?" The kind-hearted uncle murmured dissatisfiedly when he heard the words, shrugged and left helplessly, "The guy with the golden hair just rushed Sending you to death... Uh, what are you doing!?" The uncle who was suddenly knocked down in the snowdrift screamed in horror.Consciously overreacting, Vivian stuck out her tongue and jumped away, and asked anxiously: "Is the golden-haired man you're talking about a young man with a big knife on his back, but is as delicate as a girl? - Is there anyone beside him wearing a red cape?" black-haired man?"

The uncle stood up dejectedly, shook the snow on his body, and replied with a "hum": "Yes." Then he muttered, "Young people nowadays don't know how to respect the old is too much", and walked away slowly.Vivian scratched his hair in embarrassment, and stepped on the snow slope cautiously after he was out of sight, chasing after his companions who had just set foot here not long ago.

The frost-covered slopes were a thousand times more slippery than she had imagined.Vivian picked a safe place and wobbled, the speed was slow enough to rival that of a snail, but it was still unavoidable that her foot slipped and fell on the air and fell into a sprawling cup—she screamed and closed her eyes. He stretched out a hand to firmly support Vivian, who was leaning back, and straightened her upright. The movements were as proficient as if they had been practiced countless times.

"Many, thank you." Vivian, who was still in shock, hurriedly thanked her, panting in fear after rubbing her chest.She turned her head to look at the man in black who appeared at some unknown time: he was wearing a formal uniform, the stand-up collar of the black windbreaker covered the lower half of his face, and the hood of the inner shirt completely covered his hair and forehead, She could only see a pair of beautiful cat eyes through the narrow gap.

—golden-green eyes.

"Safi-Ross!!!" Vivian exclaimed in surprise, shaking his hand away as if burned by a poker.The man seemed to be smiling, and his cold eyes suddenly sparkled like spring water.He nodded, and said in a deep voice that was masked by layers of clothing, "It's about the same."

Hearing this, Vivian said "Oh—" and half-understood, "Then you are his phantom, avatar or something like that? A clone?"

This "Sephiroth" answered with a perfunctory "hmm", then changed the subject eagerly, and asked Vivian: "Your name is 'Vivian Domino' now? Not a bad name. I chose it myself?" "What?" That’s right! Of course it’s the result of my parents looking through the dictionary all night!!” Vivian, who was offended, replied loudly in displeasure and ate a mouthful of ice.

An inscrutable smile appeared in Sephiroth's eyes.

Nothing to say after that.The two walked side by side in silence, and Sephiroth occasionally gave Vivian a hand to prevent the "bloody incident" from happening.Walking to a gentle safety zone, her heart slowly sank back to her chest from a terrifying height, Vivian remembered a very important thing - she asked Sephiroth: "What exactly are you trying to do, Safi?" Covering his mouth in horror, he hurriedly looked at Sephiroth, who was called by his nickname, and found that he had no adverse reactions, so he patted his forehead reassuringly.

"Isn't this an obvious thing? Because the destination is the same, I will go with you." For some reason, there was some contempt in Sephiroth's voice.After he successfully made Vivian bow her head in shame and speechlessness, he commented without subjective color: "You are not the same as before."

"Hey, before? Safi, you have a good memory, you still remember the things that happened not long after you were born!" Vivian admired from the bottom of her heart.

The young people who were praised showed no complacency at all.Sephiroth shook his head gracefully, and sneered: "Humph, who remembers what happened when I was born! I mean—" He looked at Vivian's face carefully again, and changed his words, "No, it's nothing. Anyway, when I have After the entire planet has been destroyed, it will not be too late to explain to you..."

In the last sentence, Er's aura is too strong, and the deep breath of ghosts and animals can definitely fascinate a large number of girls.But when seeing Sephiroth, he could only think of his bun shape when he was young, Vivian, who was so maternal, just "accidentally" used a motherly and preaching tone: "...you will not succeed, boy." After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands - Nima pretending to be the Virgin can't save him!Rewind rewind rewind, can you rewind?

"Do you want to stop me beyond your limits?" Sephiroth's voice suddenly dropped two octaves, colder and more hurtful than the raging winter wind in the wilderness.Without warning, he strangled Vivian's neck, leaned down/body looked at her: "Why do you have such stupid ideas? Why do you think that everything I do is heinous? I just helped my mother take back the planet, What's wrong?" There was infinite fanaticism hidden in the soft words.

Gritting her teeth and breaking away his hand, Vivian clarified angrily: "You fool, you were cheated by your father! Jenova is not your mother! Your real mother is much better than Jenova! And...and why did you kill Alice!? "Yes, I suddenly remembered that the tall but distressed young man in front of me was the culprit who killed Alice, but I couldn't do anything.

The eyes are narrowed into a slit, like the gaze of a poisonous snake before it strikes.Sephiroth said coldly: "I don't care - the stumbling blocks that hinder me from becoming a 'god' have to be eliminated: that ancient girl, that little soldier named Claude...it can even include you, mine..." Unexpectedly, he didn't continue speaking, and turned his head to cover up, just like ordinary people who hide their embarrassment.

Vivian wanted to argue again, but Sephiroth, who didn't bother to talk, suddenly floated into the air, like a shadow of nothingness, flying towards the cliff in the north that was blocked by the intertwined storm.She reached out to grab his lapel, missed it, and ran after him unconsciously. While running, she stretched out her hand tragically and shouted resentfully: "Hey, Safi, are you going to become a god? Safi Fei, I can't find Claude and the others, why don't you give me a ride~"

The silver-haired young man turned around in a sudden step, his eyes fell to the ground gracefully with a helpless "wow" - the supreme demeanor of the strongest special soldier in Shinra - he raised one hand, holding the slowly fading Taidao "Zhengzong", Point the cool blade at Vivian.He said calmly: "I don't want to go to war with you. Besides, you can't get to where I'm going by your own strength."

"That's why I want you to take me with you..." Vivian lowered his head, drew lines on the soft snow with his right toe, and answered in a barely audible voice.

Who is Sephiroth?Sephiroth is a god-defying god who can clearly hear a mosquito buzzing five kilometers away, so Vivian's thin voice is naturally not a problem—he sighed forbearance, and miraculously closed it. "Authentic", who came and went without a trace, folded down the hard collar to reveal a tired face, pulled out a slightly thin black wool scarf from the inner pocket of the windbreaker, and wrapped it around Vivian's neck, who was unresponsive.

He wore leather gloves, but his finger movements were extremely nimble—he made a slipknot meticulously. Sephiroth stopped his hand and stood still, seeing her clumsy look, smiled sincerely, and said softly: "Before, You did this to me too." The cold facial features softened a lot due to memories, which made Vivian even more distressed when he hesitated to explain, "Okay, go back quickly." He patted like a big brother Pat her on the head.

——Wait, so Sephiroth is a boring person who carries a scarf everywhere but doesn't use it himself?Disillusioned Hey!

This scene was too incredible for Vivian, and her mind suddenly became a mess, so she also followed Sephiroth's arrangement very spinelessly.After returning to the hotel, Vivian sat by the heater under the quilt. While waiting for them to come back, she touched the scarf and thought seriously about the problem—why did Sephiroth seem to be familiar with her? Did Claude and the others go? What the hell place, and why Senior Vincent came in through the window instead of the main entrance... Hey, Vincent! ?

Vincent, who was crouching outside the window, was leaning against the window frame with a stern expression on his face. He fixedly stared into Vivian's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Claude, Tifa, and Barrett were caught by Shinra. , we have to go."

"That, Sephiroth...?" Vivian stuffed the scarf into his pocket and pretended to ask unintentionally.

It’s okay if I don’t mention him, Vincent’s expression is like dragging someone out, beating him up, shooting him for 5 minutes, and then burying him: “Claude gave the black magic stone to the sleeping, real Safi Ross—he's awake."

"Wh-what!?" - can she say (unkindly) "Not bad"?

The author has something to say: (Thanks to the adults who collected this Honkai work, this is the last update before the school starts-by the way, pay homage to the summer vacation that ended without a problem. And my mother said that it is best not to touch the computer in high school, and the next one may change. Changing the party into the moon!? [tears)

1. I skipped the story of Claude and his party going to the Forgotten City and Alice's death, and went directly to Winter Village to get Safi out - I can't wait to finish the main story, then I may jump more and more when I come down, and there will be many things that cannot be explained clearly. I apologize in advance: I am really sorry~【Bow

2. Because Safi is "familiar" with Wei, she is extremely tolerant of her - so I feel that I have written him off.If there is something wrong, please correct me, thank you! 【bow
