[FF7] The second tucks in history

After being (forced to) reject the "consolation" from Reeve and others, Vivian sat obediently across from Vincent, clutching the hem of his shirt in embarrassment.She wanted to pounce on her roguely several times for comfort, caress, and kisses (...), but was sternly stared back to her original position by Vincent, reluctantly giving up the beautiful and delicious food that was close at hand.Vivian lowered her head pitifully and blinked her eyes cutely, but her mottled blue eyes were still cold, like the tundra permafrost in the far north, so there was nothing flattering about it.

Vincent saw it and was terrified - how could Vivian become like this! ?

"Senior, are you angry..." Seeing that Vincent hadn't paid attention to him, Vivian asked weakly, leaning forward on the table in a submissive posture, and peeping at him through the gap between his arms, " In fact, I had a pretty good life there. I had some food and some fun, and any person I dated would be a big shot! Occasionally, I would go out with a youthful girl to practice communication, and I also found out a lot of top-secret information. See, senior ! My Tux skills are not wasted at all!" Originally, she said these words flauntingly to reassure Vincent, but his expression became more and more unhappy.Vivian shut up in a daze, and looked up at him inexplicably.

In fact, Vincent didn't know why he was upset... Was it because he blamed himself for failing to take care of her?Or are you secretly dissatisfied with her invisible changes?Fortunately, Vivian was still that cheerful and lively girl, her bright smile could heal all the wounds in his heart.So Vincent relaxed, and asked in a much gentler tone: "What information?"

"Of course it's the conspiracy of the 'Underground Legion' group of killers!..."

In the next 15 minutes, Vivian described the plans of Weiss and others in a story-telling manner, such as the demons, Chaos, Omega, recycling of fragment programs, etc., emphasizing their "sacrifice". How despicable is the idea that the big self fulfills the small self.She also mentioned more than once that Shelk, who was forced to "download" Lucrecia's memory, was a tool they used specifically to deal with him.Vincent quietly looked at Vivian, whose cheeks were flushed and worried, and suddenly said, "I know."

"Huh?" Know what?

"I know that Shelk has the memory of Lucrecia. But I don't think she is that evil." Vincent explained patiently, and also excused Shelk.He smiled slightly, and the soft and radiant expression on his face at this moment was inexplicably familiar to Vivian—ah, she remembered, it was every sunny afternoon in the Shinra Villa decades ago, The young man who is an elite of the Turks looked forward to the warm expression when he mentioned his favorite female scientist.

——In Vivian's eyes, it was extremely heart-piercing.

What happened during her absence?Why is the ominous premonition like a basin of cold water pouring down on the head and chilling to the bone marrow?As she had felt when she had stared bitterly at Vincent Valentine, who was talking so much about Lucrecia, Vivien felt that he had never been so far away from her, that watching his lips open and close, but Can't hear any sentences.

"...So, I'm going to visit Sherk, do you want to come together?" Vincent looked at the wall clock on the wall, unknowingly said to Vivian in a trance, and got up and walked towards the door side.Vivian felt goosebumps all over from the goosebumps that he made up in his head. He turned his head angrily and said "I'm not going" with a "huh" before laying down on the table again.Vincent was puzzled by her thoughtless anger, but time was short and he had no time to coax the awkward girl, so he gave her one last worried look, hurriedly opened the door and left the room.

——I, I didn’t even ask what’s wrong!

"I hate seniors the most!!!"

Vivian yelled at the blank wall, scratching the table with suspicion of Vincent's "indifference".The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong, and she couldn't help regretting why she didn't agree to go with Vincent just now, and now she can monitor whether they dare to do something sorry for her... Hey, hey, what are you thinking? Well, senior is not that kind of person!

"Well, I'm just going to take a look, take a look." Vivian clenched his fists, convincing himself with little confidence, but he was still a little guilty, but it shouldn't be worth mentioning.She looked at the WRO headquarters floor plan in an abstract style on the wall, and immediately threw out Phoenix's smashed latch of the overhead vent, and then quickly dodged.

"Ouch!" A small black shadow fell to the ground with a "bang" and bounced up tenaciously, rubbing its paws on its cotton waist and complaining in a low voice, "It's too rough, Vivian You should treat me as number eight well."

Vivian dangled Kate West's cloak in front of her eyes, and said with a sneer, "I didn't even pursue what happened to you secretly listening to the corner, but blame me instead? Huh, sooner or later, I'm going to use soap to treat you well." Rub it!" She enthusiastically threatened Kate West, who was delicate and weak, and successfully forced it to take over the important task of leading the way.

The cat's whiskers were tied into several ugly bows, and Kate West looked at her mirror image from the glamorous floor, almost dying of melancholy.In contrast, Vivian stepped on the chair, braided her hair tightly and cheered vigorously: "Okay, let's go!" Behind him was the rough sea and the sky, and the sun blinded the cat's eyes.

— Kate West motioned her a third cat's paw silently.

On the other side of the building, where Vivian was trying to go—in the laboratory of the WRO headquarters, Vincent hadn't appeared yet, only Shelk, who was unconsciously immersed in a container full of magic, Xia Luya fell asleep at the table and guarded her.A certain instrument beeped in time, and it magnified infinitely in the silent space. Shelk, who was frowning and looked extremely restless, opened his eyes immediately.

She didn't think much about where she was, she left the vessel and walked towards the table where her weapon was placed.When passing by Xia Luya, Shelk stopped silently, and looked at the elder sister who was completely different from the one in memory, the elder sister who endured torture all the time in order to save herself, seemed to be in deep thought and remained silent.

"It's like... stupid..." Sherk wanted to laugh sarcastically, but his voice was uncontrollably weak.She finally made up her mind to get her weapon, but a slight noise made Xia Luya wake up, blinking her eyes sleepily and looking around in a daze.Looking back and seeing Shelk standing in front of her, she stood up immediately, half of her sleepiness gone.

"You're finally awake! Is your body okay?" Xia Luya asked about Shelk's situation with concern like an ordinary elder sister, but the latter backed away in disgust when she stepped forward to help him , lowered her head and sighed: "It's so stupid to be rescued by the enemy. I will kill you, and then go back to Deepground to apologize." As she said, she pressed the switch of the weapon (?), and the two electric shock rods immediately lit up. The red light contrasted brilliantly with the scorching but actually cold fire in the pupils of his eyes.

Shalujah blinked her eyes hard, and replied pretending to be nonchalant: "I hate it, I still like the beautiful assault before, and that's what suits Sherk—I was messed up by various moods at that time, it seems quite Unlike me... Now that I've calmed down, I have to make it clear." She raised her hand and said word for word, "Damn—I don't want to be killed by Shelk, and I don't want Shelk to go back to that kind of place."

"I don't need your permission for anything." After listening to Xia Luya with disdain, Shelk raised his weapon and prepared to attack.

Xia Luya whispered helplessly: "I didn't mean it. But, are you going to have a confrontation between the sisters ten years later?" She then set up her position and hooked her fingers provocatively.

——↑Hehe, stop making trouble.

"...Did we go to the wrong set?" Vivian, who arrived first, was lying on the side of the door and peeping inside, and was so shocked by this unexpected scene that he couldn't speak. Faster than him? In other words, if we go in to try to persuade a fight, will we be bombarded as targets and smashed to pieces?"

Kate West, who was squatting on Vivian's shoulder, stroked her beard pretendingly: "It is very possible. So let's not disturb them to carry out the tearful reunion and love of sisters who have been separated for ten years. Communicate', just smile at this time... ah ah ah what are you doing!"

Vivian pinched its tail and flicked it twice symbolically, and said with a half-smile: "The attributive is too long and I can't understand it, bastard."

"Uneducated, it's scary." Kate West jumped off Vivian's shoulder with lingering fear, turned around and waved her paw cheerfully at the person who came, and said calmly, "Vincent, why did you come~"

Vivian petrified—how would Kouhu explain to his seniors that he sneaked over awkwardly again QAQ—he really wanted to dig a hole in the ground and jump in to die forever.

After arriving late, Vincent gave a slight nod to Kate West, and then focused all his attention on Vivian, whose hair was trembling with nervousness, and said with a helpless smile: "Being beaten by Yuffie!" Phone bombardment - who told me to run back without her... Vivian?"

"Yes, yes!" Vivian turned around reflexively and responded loudly, his eyes met Vincent's half-smiling eyes, his face blushed and he retorted incoherently, "I, I didn't regret it and came to you , Yes Yes Yes Yes I have something to ask Xia Luya temporarily! —— Oh, by the way, senior, go in and have a look inside, and the fight is about to start!" Successfully changed the topic, perfect and perfect.

Vincent opened his mouth to speak, but his not-so-high-pitched words were swallowed by the sudden shrill siren.The four people and one cat in the laboratory and outside the door suddenly stopped their movements, and looked up at the loudspeaker vigilantly—gunshots, roars, impacts... Reeve was overwhelmed in the command room, and Kate West lost her vitality because of this, limply fell to the ground.

"In the end—" Vivian's remaining questioning was also covered up by the deafening explosion.She picked up Kate West and subconsciously looked at the senior she relied on the most, while Vincent was staring fixedly at Shelk who came out behind Shalujah.The girl avoided Vincent's gaze wearily, and said, "Wait for Azul to start acting. The death of that man marks the beginning of everything."

"What the hell—" Vivian was interrupted again.She collapsed and turned to the direction of the loud noise, just in time to see a huge blue monster with sharp horns passing through the big hole in the wall, roaring and standing in the ruins.

Everyone was horrified, but Vivian couldn't grasp the point and wondered: "It's so cute, whose family raised a little lion?"

"It's Azul." Sherk said coldly, watching indifferently as Xia Luya, who rushed forward to assist Vincent's attack, was beaten up and coughed up blood.Vivian was in a hurry, and deftly turned around and attacked Azul, who had turned into a giant beast, from the side, but the latter could only dodge but not attack, and knocked down the defenseless Shelk with one paw, intending to kill him.

Shelk's expression was as calm and numb as ever.She stood up slowly, took out a magic stone from her waist pocket and lifted it up, the pupils that suddenly turned orange were as dazzling as the magic stone.Seeing this, Azul, who was dealing with Vincent and Vivian, jumped to the distance with a low growl.But Xielke had already expected it, and used the strong blue-purple light from the magic stone in his hand to firmly restrain Azul in place and restore him to his original appearance.

"Are you going to stop me, Sherk?" Azul grinned grinningly in the hoop-like halo.Shelk retracted the magic stone, squinted his blue eyes, and replied like a fool: "I just protect myself from harm." She turned her head quietly, and was caught off guard by Azul's swift punch in the face , barely dodging, she panted in surprise, opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't ask.

Azul shouted rudely: "Wes also said that you are useless as a waste—just like a lowly soldier, you can't maintain your life without relying on Mako, and you only have the poor ability to sneak into the network to collect data Even so, you still call yourself Tsviat poorly, it's disgusting to the point of disgust. Now that your mission has been completed, don't worry, return to the planet with peace of mind!"

Azul struggled to walk towards Shelk, but Xia Luya took advantage of him still restrained, immediately grabbed Shelk's hand and urged Vincent to escape together.In the commotion, Vivian, who was blocked by Azul in the corner, seemed to be forgotten. She watched Vincent pass through the iron gate without looking back, and saw Xia Luya resolutely use his The mechanical left arm stuck through the gap, and entrusted Sherk to Vincent, watching them just stare at Xia Luya in despair, and then left hand in hand in the fading brightness.

Accompanied by the violent vibration of the iron gate, Xia Luya's left arm was finally severed, and thick engine oil gushed out.She fell back like a puppet, and was hugged carefully by Vivian who rushed forward as if awakened from a dream.

"... Vivian?" A trace of panic and doubt suddenly flashed through Shalujah's eyes that could hardly be opened, "Why didn't you..." She smiled apologetically, and said softly with difficulty, "I'm sorry, I thought You left with Vincent..."

——You forgot me, it's okay.But why even the seniors...

Vivian's golden green eyes were like the turbid sea roaring in mourning.

"Shelk... I'll leave it to you..." In the last minute of his life, still thinking about his favorite sister, Xia Luya closed his eyes with a smile, and gently pressed Vivian's right hand, which suddenly slipped down.The dots of light, as bright as a sea of ​​stars, suddenly lit up, and Vivian was at a loss and hesitated in this secluded green. Even Azul, who had broken free from the shackles, looked at him complicatedly for a long while and then left without any response.

—A promise not to leave me, Vincent Valentine.

It wasn't the first time she encountered death, but it was the first time she faced death when the senior wasn't by her side.Connected to the lifeless Kate West, Vivian hugged Xia Luya's cool body tightly, as if she could find a channel to vent her emotions.Because when you are so sad, you can't cry.
