Don't worry, Yokohama is about to end

There is light in the night, and the future lives on in the past.

When every generation of human beings is willing to give up their lives and show a firm will like moths chasing light, even the mightiest mountains will be leveled by them.

"Ah, it's a big cat!"

As soon as Mei and Chuya Mao appeared, they attracted a lot of inquiring eyes.

Many children are attracted by the furry appearance of the big ocher cat, and want to reach out and touch it.

However, due to Zhongye Mao's majestic and majestic momentum, he dared not go forward, so some of the most courageous ones hid behind secretly, trying to catch the big cat's tail.

Perhaps it was because the story of Mei saving Chimi Kojou had already spread, or because Yuzuki Yuki was leading the way, the attitude of everyone towards them was quite friendly, but occasionally some people would show surprise after seeing Mei's appearance clearly. Looking at his expression, he turned his head to discuss something in a low voice with the people around him.

"Exactly the same..."

"God...historical records..."

Sporadic words drifted into Mei's ears, and the silver-haired girl followed the voice, and the people talking about it were all taken aback for a moment, and dispersed uncomfortably.

"Sorry, they didn't mean any harm."

Yuzuki Yuzuki apologized for the group of people, "It's just that everyone hasn't seen a new face for a long time, and I was a little excited for a while."

"Excited?" Mei was a little surprised, "I thought strangers were not welcome here."

The pink-haired boy laughed: "We will not reject any survivors, only the group of beasts on the ground who are not worthy of being human."

When talking about animals, Mei noticed that Yuzuki Yuki's cheerful expression darkened for a moment.

【survivor】

Just this sentence, the amount of information behind it is already large enough.

Mei Zhishang's eyes swept over the people who performed their duties in the base.

Along the way, Mei found that the dungeon looked lively and lively, but in fact there were not many people there. In addition to the patrolling guards, there were no more than a hundred people.

Almost all the chattering and laughing people were children, and the vast majority of adults were silently concentrating on their work.

"What are they doing?"

Mei glanced at the busy women and noticed that they were gathering together, skillfully knitting clothes with wool.

But there is no difference between cold and warm in the four seasons underground. In theory, there is no need for warm clothes.

"Oh, this is everyone's preparations for people going away..." Yuuki Katsuobu looked at the clothes in the hands of the women, and said in a gentle tone, "Isn't there a saying that goes like this, you wear clothes from your hometown , you won’t feel the cold of a foreign land.”

Survivor, travel far away, foreign land.

Mei Zhishang looked away and landed on the strong young man.

They sat together to check and maintain the weapons, and some of them turned their heads from time to time, talking to the worried family members around them.

Everyone, including the face of Yuzu Yuki next to him, revealed a similar determination and determination.

This expression is very familiar to Mei, it is the determination to bid farewell to her family and go to the battlefield.

Are they planning to go to war with those on the ground?

Tomoshang Mei was thoughtful, but she always felt that something was wrong.

The silver-haired girl turned her head to the side, trying to seek the opinion of her Mr. Cat, but when she turned her face away, she was almost amused by the scene in front of her.

At some point, the big ocher cat was surrounded by a group of children.

It is said that in this world, children and cubs are the animals that can best distinguish between good and evil.

After being convinced that this majestic big cat was just superficially scary and would not harm them in reality, the group of cubs became bolder and climbed up on the cat one by one, yelling.

Mr. Gravity, who has been reduced to a cub's climbing toy, has dead eyes and a bald head from exhaustion.

"puff……"

Mei Zhishang couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

Then I got the expressionless stare of my own Mr. Cat, and the dangerous gaze of "do you owe me a lesson?"

"I'm sorry, Chuya, I'm here to help you."

The silver-haired girl coughed, held back a smile and stepped forward, grabbing the children from the big cat's body one by one.

"Hey—big sister, we want to play with cats!"

"Can't!"

Mei was unmoved by the children's loud acting like a baby.

She lowered her head and swept across the cubs gathered together, and accurately picked out the one with the highest status—commonly known as the king of children.

Chishang Mei put his hands on his hips, stood in front of Chuya Mao, and said seriously to the leading child, "Listen, little leader, this is a very serious diplomatic issue, and Zhong is also my personal partner. Please control your subordinates and don't fight!" If you think he is cute, you will bully him, you know?"

The little fat man who was picked out was a little unhappy at first, but when he heard the name "little leader", he became quiet.

The temporary tour guide Yuuki Yuzuki also came over consciously and coaxed the reluctant child away.

"Meow..." finally left.

The big ochre-colored cat looked at the children who were reluctant to let go and looked back at every step, and heaved a sigh of relief with lingering fear.

"Oh, oh, it's very popular, Chuya."

Mei snickered and smoothed out the messy hair of the big cat, but because she gloated too much, she was caught by the big ocher cat halfway and slapped her forehead several times.

"Speaking of which, where's Qianmei?"

The girl looked with her flushed forehead, but she didn't see the girl in the group of children playing.

"She also went to help you prepare supplies for a long trip?" Zhishang Mei asked.

Although it was an interrogative sentence, there was not much questioning in the girl's words.

The pink-haired boy was taken aback for a moment, then scratched the back of his head and laughed, "So you found out?"

Mei nodded: "Because your expressions are very obvious, it's all written on your face."

Chuya Nakahara, who suspected that he missed a season of the plot: "?"

Facing Mei Tomogami's ridicule, the boy smiled kindly.

Probably in order to avoid the "cat climbing frame" incident happening again, next, when Yuzuki Yuki led the way, he deliberately avoided places where people gathered, and the surrounding gradually became quiet.

Yuuki didn't speak any more, and all the way could only hear Mei and Chuya's whispered conversation, telling the latter about the missed information.

Until the first tombstone appears.

The appearance of the tombstone was like a signal. Next, Mei and Zhong also saw a large number of cuboid stones, which were neatly arranged on both sides of the road, like guards on guard, silently and gently watching the coming companion.

Each tombstone has been carefully wiped, and there are a few bunches of flowers and plants in front of some of them, which should have been worshiped not long ago.

This is obviously a huge cemetery, used to bury the dead in the base.

The "survivor" mentioned by the teenager once again appeared in the minds of each of them.

Mei and Zhong also fell silent.

Although they were puzzled about the reason why Yuzu Yuki brought them here, they didn't open their mouths.

The solemn and sorrowful atmosphere around them kept them in the most basic respect, quietly following behind the boy.

After walking a long narrow path, they stopped in front of a huge rock.

The rock is at least two meters high, and it is covered with densely packed characters.

Mei Zhishang squinted her eyes, and by the light of the lighting, she could see the writing on the stone clearly.

……

【Kento Nanami died in 2014 at the age of 27】

【Idachi died in 2016 at the age of 26】

【99 Yuki died in 2018 at the age of 27】

【Zenyuan Maki died at the age of 2018 in 16】

【Chanyuan Hui passed away at the age of 2018 in 16】

【Yi Gu You Tai died at the age of 2018 in 18】

【Kagizaki Wild Rose died at the age of 2019 in 17】

[Todo Aoi died at the age of 2019 in 17]

[Night Moth Zhengdao died at the age of 2020 in 40...]

……

From top to bottom, from 2008 at the earliest to last week at the latest, the names of at least ten thousand people have been engraved on the stone wall, and the date and age of their death are carefully added behind each name.

This is an out-and-out memorial stone soaked in blood and sacrifice.

Tomoshang Mei unconsciously held her breath.

The pink-haired boy clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and bowed to the memorial stone.

"My name is Yuzu Yuki. My ancestor Yuzuhito died in 2022. He was a magician."

The mourning boy opened his eyes, looked at the boulder in front of him and said calmly.

Mei raised her head, and scanned down the place where she stopped just now, and found the name mentioned by the other party.

"Conjurer, what is it?" the silver-haired girl asked softly.

Nakahara Chuya next to him had a flash of understanding in his eyes.

The cadres of Portmafia, of course, have heard of these groups, or rather, they had some dealings with these guys before coming here.

Unlike Tokyo, where cursed spirits frequently appear, Yokohama, where people with supernatural abilities are rampant, has always had its own rules.

Although the people of Yokohama live in a perilous and extraordinary life all year round, and the city comes to a happy "nuclear level" from time to time, what is interesting is that there are almost no traces of cursed spirits and curses.

Most of the spell spirits were affected and wiped out by the supernatural power users who fought all day long before they were conceived.

Occasionally, some powerful spell spirits will intentionally or unintentionally bypass this port city.

In their language, it is that delicious city, which was first occupied by a dark and scary guy. Go drill there.

Probably for this reason, the power of the conjurers of the Yusanjia has been unable to penetrate into Yokohama, and they can only keep the well water from breaking the boundary of the river water.

"Conjurer is a profession responsible for removing curse spirits and curses. Negative human emotions will breed curses. When curses are combined and strengthened, they will become extremely harmful curse spirits."

Yuzuki's introduction brought back Piaoyuan's sanity in the Central Plains.

"A conjurer whose mission is to eliminate curse spirits can be regarded as a "dark hero" in the words of shonen manga, right? "

The pink-haired boy looked up at the name on the stone wall and said.

When he mentioned the hero, his face briefly flashed a few seconds of pride and admiration, but soon, the corners of his mouth collapsed, and the light in his eyes dimmed, "Heroes... should be like this .”

However, how to say that sentence, things are impermanent.

Since the "Mud Killing" incident in 2007, cursers and conjurers have officially entered the public's field of vision.

Threatened by death, more and more people desperately sought help, and almost one of the few magicians was used as ten.

But the high-intensity mission did not ease the death toll.

Even if there were rumors that the strongest in the magic world stood up, it was nothing more than stabilizing the situation on a fragile balance.

In the later period, in order to improve the possibility of survival, a large number of items related to magic equipment flowed into the market. The government even publicly recruited talented children and promised to send them to the Tokyo Higher Magic School for training with a generous return.

Some relevant scientific research workers have proposed research on the energy of spell spirits. Although it is impossible to produce spell tools, there is still hope for replicas to a certain extent.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction.

Until 2008, Gojo Satoru, the strongest man in the magic world, disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a confirmed statement and conjecture was placed in front of everyone.

——[The curse spirit is born from the negative emotions of human beings, but the conjurer does not produce curses...]

——【Ordinary people without magic power are inferior products. Is it true that only by killing them can we obtain eternal peace? 】

Ridiculous assertion.

At first, everyone didn't care, until one day, a curser appeared.

"Xia, You, Jie."

Knotweed Yuuki calmly chewed on the syllables and spit out the long chewed name.

The young man lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes covered the overwhelming hatred in his eyes, he clenched his fists at his sides, but the tone of his narration seemed to hide the surface of an undercurrent and rocky water, and it was terrifyingly stable, "The curse called Xia Youjie The teacher publicly admitted that he was responsible for the initial "mud meat killing" incident. He released the video of the village people abusing young children at that time, and claimed that this was an inevitable cleansing jihad. "

"The Panxing Cult he controls calls us "monkeys" and thinks we are not worthy of being human. "

"Haha, can you imagine, that guy actually declared that he should kill all human beings and establish a world where only magicians exist."

Yuzuki Yuzuki laughed first, as if telling a joke.

However, his eye sockets turned red first.

"What happened next?" Tomosami Mei asked.

Later, the conjurer's eyes on ordinary people changed.

After the first genocide massacre occurred, the murderer was a registered conjurer, and the whole country was in an uproar. The argument of "killing all ordinary people and establishing a world with only conjurers" spread everywhere.

The fragile balance that everyone painstakingly maintained was completely broken.

Conjurers continued to join the Panxing Cult, and the conjurers who insisted on their stand were caught in the middle, not only to resist the attack of the curse spirit, but also to fight against the cold knife behind them.

The situation of ordinary people is like cooking oil in a raging fire.

Maybe one second he was the hero who helped him remove the curse, and the next moment, he would pull out the butcher knife and slash at himself.

The upper echelons of the government were in a state of desperation, and some people proposed to use weapons of mass destruction, but this argument was quickly rejected by the then leader.

However, the next day, this supposedly confidential meeting appeared on the most trafficked social platform for some reason, and at the same time, the head of the official who proposed to use weapons appeared.

So far, the relationship between conjurers and ordinary people has been completely broken.

An unprecedented melee finally began.

"The result of the war is as we can see now. Under the double siege of curse spirits and curse masters, our ancestors failed."

"Those guys occupied the ground, and even created a disgusting internal transfer mechanism!"

Nature is always the fairest.

After the mass disappearance of ordinary people, it did bring a rare peace for a time.

But soon, the group of curse masters discovered that, in contrast, the number of curse spirits was also decreasing on a large scale. This should be a good thing, but someone discovered that there was something wrong with their bodies.

As I said at the beginning, most people have mana in their bodies.

The difference is that the negative emotions of ordinary people will produce curses and curse spirits, while the spells in the magician's body can maintain a virtuous circle and turn into powerful forces.

Ordinary people, cursed spirits, conjurers.

It would have been a perfect circle.

Just like a complete food chain in nature, it seems to be loose, but there is an extremely strict logic.

Now, however, the perfect cycle is broken.

A conjurer who loses the object of the spell is equivalent to losing the "tool" of the meaning of existence.

Gradually, they found that the magic power in their bodies began to be "not so obedient". At first, there were only some small ups and downs, but soon, a big riot came, and the magic power of the surviving magicians completely ran away.

Either dissipate and become a "monkey" in their mouths, or self-corrode and be polluted into a more disgusting curse spirit.

"This is retribution."

Knotweed Yuuki sneered with the corners of his mouth pulled, his hearty face showed another kind of cruelty under the light.

In the next second, the indifference towards the conjurer on his face turned into deep sorrow.

"The group of conjurers didn't want to become monsters, and they didn't want to lose the powerful power they relied on... Finally, they proposed "captive breeding"! "

"Captive! Raise us ordinary people like animals!"

When the pink-haired boy said this, his eyes were red, and he could hardly control the grief and anger in his heart. He covered his face hard, and after taking deep breaths, he forcibly calmed down.

During this process, neither Mei Zhishang nor Chuya Nakahara spoke.

Because they knew very well that what Yuzuki Yuki needed was not comfort or sympathy, he just needed them to keep silent and listen patiently.

After a few seconds, the boy regained his composure.

He raised his arm, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and continued, "They try every means to stimulate ordinary people, abuse, beat, starve...as long as they can make us have negative emotions, they will not hesitate to try, as long as they can produce curse spirits .”

"Even in the end, in order to show his own justice, those beasts no longer call him human."

"They call us, 'demons'. "

Demon species...

Zhishang Mei opened her eyes slightly, what she heard and saw on the ground before was explained.

Yuzuki wiped his eyes vigorously again, calming down his emotions, "Actually, not all conjurers were animals in the beginning. Among them, there were still companions who were willing to fight with us, but in the end they were all there. closed his eyes in a long melee—”

"Buried here."

"Aren't you curious, where did this "control ring" in our hands come from? "

Yuzuki Yuzuki said abruptly.

Mei and Zhong also turned their heads at the same time, staring at the boy silently.

The pink-haired boy recalled, and slowly said: "Actually, we don't know."

What?

The silver-haired girl was stunned, a little unresponsive.

Fortunately, Yuzu Yuki didn't cut off the topic, and continued, "Our generation doesn't know the specific details, but according to the records in later books, it was brought by a mysterious person."

"Because of it, we can at least control our negative emotions now, and we won't be born with a curse spirit."

Fortunately, thanks to the technology brought by the mysterious people, they deciphered the technology tree, and after several generations of research, they even had this underground base and that miraculous device.

"By the way, did you know that Qianmei keeps calling you "God". Yuki Yuzu suddenly said with a smile.

Mei: "Why is it a god?"

"Because of this..." The pink-haired boy pointed at the girl's pupils and hair, "Your eye color and hair color are exactly the same as the gods in the records."

[At the beginning of the AD, the gods with silver hair and golden pupils descended, bringing keys and hope, and the people living in sorrow and despair woke up and were reborn. 】

Knotweed Yuuki recited fluently.

"This is the history that every generation in the base knows, and it is also the past that we must know."

Mei Zhishang suddenly realized.

She and Zhong Yuanzhong beside her also looked at each other, and each saw the answer from the other's eyes.

No wonder they were able to easily gain the trust of Knotweed Qianmei and were taken to the base.

No wonder the people here only maintain the lowest vigilance against them.

No wonder the boy in front of him, Yuzuki Knotabagi would tell them this.

Old doubts were solved, but new doubts were born.

Mei Zhishang looked at the young man, and asked her and Nakahara Chuya's puzzled doubts: "You, have you never wondered about the identity and purpose of that "God"? "

What the silver-haired girl said surprised Yuzuki Yuzuki.

He blinked, and then slowly showed a clear smile: "Does it matter?"

Is it a god, does it have other purposes, does it matter?

"The bracelet is a useful tool, and the unlocked technology tree can help us live better. These things are truly in our own hands."

"It doesn't matter what purpose the gods have, because how to use them and what kind of future they will achieve are always in our hands."

Therefore, they never thought about the identity of the gods.

Because it doesn't matter.

Zhishang Mei stared at the young man in front of him for a long time, and suddenly said: "You guy, I suddenly like you a little bit."

Knotaba Yuki: "Huh?"

Nakahara Chuya: "Meow!"

The girl's speech made the slightly heavy atmosphere at the scene change in vain.

Compared to the teenager's reaction of "hahahaha, really, I think you are good too", a certain big ocher cat even exploded the hair of its tail.

"Meow, ouch?" Mei, what are you talking about, you like the kid?

Chuya Cat approached the girl, asking in a very light tone.

The big cat's expression was natural, as if there was no difference from usual, but probably only Nakahara Chuya himself knew what kind of bloody thoughts were rolling in his heart when he asked this sentence.

how?Counting on the mafia to give up the treasure they are looking for?

Don't even think about it.

Compared with death, the first reaction of Mr. Mafia is how to make the guy whom love love disappear silently.

The boy Yuuki Knotabagi, who had died unknowingly how many times behind his back, was still laughing ignorantly.

"Oh!"

Under the watchful eyes of her Mr. Cat, the silver-haired girl gave a thumbs up and said, "I feel that the knotweed boy is very suitable for our team, and I want to invite him to save the world with us!"

"What do you think, Chuya?"

Central Plains Chuya, Central Plains Zhongye breathed a sigh of relief silently.

What, it turned out that it was just an invitation to become a companion.

"Meow..." It's up to you.

The ocher big cat said nothing.

On the other hand, the pink-haired boy was slightly stunned, and muttered softly: "What, did you become a partner?"

Yuzuki Yuzuki spoke in a low voice, but was still caught by Nakaya Cat with keen hearing.

Zhongyuan Zhong also looked at the opponent coldly for a while, then turned his head and kicked his own words a second ago with a jio kick.

"Oh..." It's too dangerous, it's better not to involve irrelevant people.

"Well, yes."

After all, it is Yokohama's own business, and it really shouldn't drag other people into the water.

Mei Zhishang touched her chin, regrettably giving up her original idea.

This conversation is over here.

After worshiping the memorial stone, the two and the cat were ready to leave.

At this moment, Mei suddenly opened his mouth and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Boy Knotweed, is your plan to travel far away to start a war with the magicians on the ground?"

"Go to war?"

Knotweed Yuuki shook his head haha, as if being amused.

"How is it possible, we won't do such thankless things!"

The pink-haired boy smiled cheerfully. He looked up at the boulder in front of him with sincere and hopeful eyes.

"You know, our base is called Tinder. "

Tinder means inheritance and future.

"We will not go to war with the beasts on the ground. Even if we have this ability, we will not, because if we kill them all, the lost people and lost years will not come back."

——"Light is in the night, and the future is forever in the past."

Yuzuki Yuki suddenly put his hand on his chest, pressing his palm against his heart.

He turned his face to look at Mei, his eyes were full of determination and hope of a soldier.

He said, "Our future is not on the ground—"

"We will go back in time, kill Xia Youjie, and take back our future," he said.
