[Black Basket] On the Victory of the Emperor

109: Repression

Two doors were open in front of him, and Akashi clearly felt that something was attracting him to go in, but the two doors he saw were not what he was looking for.

He miscalculated.

Maybe it's because the other party has the same eyes as his mother, or maybe it's because they are one, so Akashi didn't expect the other party to deceive him.

As a second personality, it makes no sense not to want to snatch control of the body, but he credulously believed in the "fusion" rhetoric, thinking that the other party had disappeared.

Thinking of this, Akashi frowned.

The feeling after the fusion was not false. Although the behavior of the other party is no longer credible, the "fusion" may not be wrong. If the feeling is not so amazing, he will not easily believe it.

So... Did he lie to himself...

Akashi watched the scene on the sea quietly, Hidetoku was abused by the other party quite badly, but Akashi didn't feel compassion because of it.

Midorima doesn't need it, and neither does Hidetoku.

Even though the gap was opened up by [-] points, Xiutoku did not give up at all. Those Xiutoku players who should have been defeated stood up again. They stood in front of Midorima and rekindled the morale of the entire team.

Hidetoku is a good team, and the team that can best cooperate with Midorima, Akashi has always thought so.

Whether it's Hidetoku or Midorima, in the final analysis, they are not guys who will easily admit defeat.

The recovery of Hidetoku's morale is of course not a good thing for Luoshan, but Akashi seems relieved at this time and no longer looks at the realistic scene.

Hidetoku will not be defeated easily, but "Akashi Seijuro" will not be defeated either.

This is bound to be an exciting matchup.

If you want to ask Akashi if he wants to compete with that kind of Hidetoku and that kind of Midorima, that's of course.But before that, he had to regain control of his body.

He set a time limit for himself, before the end of the game.

There are only a few minutes left now.

Facing the two open doors again, Akashi began to calm down and ponder.

The gate represents the Zone, and the reason why there are two doors here is because he has two personalities. The abilities of the two Zones have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they have been mastered by him so far.

From this point of view, he should be stronger than the other personality who has only mastered one type, but at this time it is the other personality in the body that has the upper hand.

What can be thought of is nothing more than the fact that the other party has mastered a more powerful force.

But what is it?

A power stronger than the Zone, a small voice calling out to me...

Is there a force stronger than Zone?

Akashi asked himself.

——There is no strongest, only stronger.

He remembered a sentence Akashi Fukuro taught him when he was a child.

He stared at one of the doors intently, and the gentle breath let him know that it was his second Zone. He was not attracted to it, but looked to the other side.

With a flash of inspiration, red eyes flashed.

"I see."

Akashi walked straight forward, came to the middle of two doors, and he passed through.

Unlike the scene I saw outside before, this place is not a flat land, but a bottomless abyss.

The voice calling him became clearer, Akashi looked at it, and after confirming that what he was really looking for was there, he jumped without hesitation.

At the same time, "Akashi"'s flexible dribbling movements suddenly came to a halt.

Although this short-lived flaw was seen by others, no one was able to take advantage of it in time, because soon Akashi passed them again.

——I found it so easily, is it worthy of being the master?

"Akashi" thought with a frosty face, and couldn't help but a self-deprecating arc curled up at the corner of his mouth.

——But that's the only way...

Jumping off the abyss is not that scary, at least it is impossible to cause any harm in Akashi's sea of ​​consciousness.

His feet hit the ground firmly, as if he was sinking into the bottom of the ocean.

What unfolded in front of his eyes was a strange yet familiar scene.

A huge door is not far away, this door is even bigger than the previous two combined.

With the experience of the previous two times, Akashi decisively stepped forward to push the door, he already knew what it was.

This is a deeper Zone and a more powerful Zone.

He stepped forward, and unexpectedly found that the door that looked like several tons had been pushed open a crack.

There is no doubt about who did it.

Akashi exerted force, he pushed hard, the door creaked with his movement, but there was no movement.

As if something behind the door was pushing the door, no matter what Akashi tried, the gap couldn't be widened even a little bit.

——You are still missing...

Akashi heard someone whispering in his ear.

"Is that so..."

Half-believing, Akashi tried again, but unfortunately it still failed.

Although there was no way to reach a deeper zone, he already felt his power increase just by coming here, probably because he absorbed the power leaked from the crack in the door.

He failed to achieve a satisfactory state, but now he has the ability to regain his body.

"It's time to give it back to me."

Akashi looked at the sea and said, he thought his voice could pass through.

"You failed to open it."

said the same voice.

"I will, soon."

Akashi had a premonition.

The sea shook for a while, and it took a while to calm down.

"The main character...as expected..."

The voice sighed.

Akashi began to feel that his feet had left the sand and was floating upwards, and a boy who looked the same as him but had golden eyes sank down on the surface of the sea.

Things went so smoothly, beyond Akashi's expectations.

At the moment when the two exchanged, he heard the whisper of the other party.

"I didn't lie to you, it's just that the time has not come yet."

Akashi's conscious body left the sea of ​​consciousness and took over the body again, while the other personality ran all the way to the abyss. He lay curled up in front of the door, as if sleeping peacefully.

"I will never lie to you, because you are Seijuro Akashi."

The golden eyes were not as dazzling as they were on the field, but dimmed instead.

During the fusion back then, he really thought that he shouldn't exist anymore, but he didn't expect that he would be in front of this door when he woke up.

It's like... the gatekeeper.

"Akashi, Akashi!"

Hayama's worried and flustered voice rang in his ears, and when Akashi opened his eyes, he found Lingyang and the others surrounded him.

"Xiaozheng, are you okay? What happened just now that you almost fainted?"

Ling Yang asked worriedly.It was the climax of the game just now, but Akashi suddenly stood still. Not only that, his figure was also a little unstable. Coach Platinum called a timeout almost immediately, but Akashi suddenly sat on the rest chair. He passed out, and when the shock of the group of people who had just been frightened was stable, he woke up again 1 minute later.

"I am fine."

Akashi comforted his team members.

But the people around suddenly looked at him with strange eyes.

"Akashi, you're back!"

Hayama blurted out.

Akashi was taken aback, and said with a smile,

"Ah, I made you worry. Let's continue the game."

The timeout was only 2 minutes. The referee came over to check that Akashi was not in the right state just now. Now that Akashi is fine, the game will naturally continue.

Naksan's pause was also a respite for Shutoku, but Midorima looked at Naksan's rest area uneasy.

Takao elbowed Takuma,

"Akashi will be fine."

Midorima nodded, he hoped so.

He was the first to discover something was wrong with Akashi on the field just now, his heart stopped beating in shock, and the ball in his hand fell to the ground before he could catch it, just in time for Luo Shan to find a timeout.

"sorry."

No matter what the reason was, he was indeed distracted during the game just now, so he apologized to Xiu De solemnly.

Captain Otsubo sighed, patted Midorima on the shoulder,

"It's okay, you didn't do anything wrong. But if you really want to apologize for your distraction, then just win the game."

Midorima straightened up, receded her slightly slanted black eyes, and nodded,

"I will."

Standing back on the court again, Midorima, who was standing opposite Akashi, immediately noticed the changes in Akashi.

A look of joy flashed across his eyes, and then he became more serious.

"Midorima, I saw your alley-oop three-pointer. It really exceeded my expectations."

"That's right, thank you for your appreciation, but I think it's okay if you stay and talk about it later."

The implication is that he intends to defeat Akashi by catching three-pointers.

"is it?"

Akashi was noncommittal.

At the same time, a pass from Dai was delivered, and Akashi quickly began to dribble, and Midorima watched him with tense nerves.

But Akashi's action was unexpected, he didn't break through Midorima, but ran towards Luoshan's ball frame.

Unbelievable... Akashi sent the ball into his hoop!

There was a burst of exclamation in the audience. Some people thought that he must have lost his mind just now.

Everyone on the field was stunned by Akashi's behavior. If it was okay to say before, it can be understood as Akashi's arrogance. He was giving points to Hidetoku. After scoring three consecutive three-pointers, Akashi's approach is really confusing.

"Xiao Zheng?"

Ling Yang and the others leaned over.

"No matter what happens, but I will not allow distractions to relax, the game is not over, and your opponents are still standing."

He glanced at the Luoshan crowd, "If these differences make you show such expressions, then I'd rather not have such a big difference."

"Sorry, Akashi/Sei."

Luoshan people apologized one after another.

The score difference and the return of the familiar Akashi caused them to relax, and they were wrong.

Akashi sighed and continued,

"If you lose, you can accuse me whatever you want. If the cause of the loss is the goal I just made, I will take full responsibility, retreat quickly, and then use it as proof of sin..."

"I'll gouge out the eyes and send them to you."

For the first time, they heard such terrifying words from Akashi.

"Xiao Zheng, what are you talking about!"

Ling Yang immediately refuted.

"If you don't want me to do it, then win."

Akashi's tone softened, he was indeed the same Akashi that Lingyang and the others were familiar with, "I'm not worried that this kind of thing will happen, it's because I believe..."

"As long as you are here, we can't lose."

With a shallow and soft smile, it is hard to believe that this is the same person who spoke just now.

"Xiao Zheng..."

"Akashi..."

This feeling of being trusted by Akashi wholeheartedly made the people of Luoshan feel so good that it couldn't be better.

"we know."

Without too many words, everyone in Luoshan already knew what to do.

They put away their indifference and focused on cooperating with Akashi, and Akashi, as the commander, is also perfectly cooperating with them.

When the relationship in the Luoshan team increased a big step, Midorima's heart was in a mess.

He knew that Akashi was a man who did what he said, and his own goal was to win over Akashi.

Before he knew what to do, Akashi had already passed him with the ball like a gust of wind, and then passed the ball to Hayama.

——I will lose, if this goes on, I will lose.

Midorima quickly realized the problem, he didn't want to lose, but he also didn't want Akashi to really fulfill what he said to Luoshan.

At this moment, his mind was extremely clear, and he looked at Akashi with piercing eyes.

——As long as you win by more than two points...

Once Hidetoku leads Luoshan by more than two points, even if Akashi misses the goal, nothing can be recovered, and the responsibility will no longer be on Akashi.

——Yes, as long as I beat you by more than two points.

Midorima has recovered his form, not only that, but his condition has become even better, because now his goal is no longer to simply win, but to widen the point difference.

Sensing Midorima's breath behind him, Akashi raised the corner of his mouth,

——Come on, Midorima, I want you to see my growth occasionally.

Not the captain of Diguang, he is the captain of Luoshan.

It's only been a year, but they've all had breakthrough growth.

But want to prove their mood, everyone is the same, never changed.

This is the match between Naksan and Xiude.
