[Black Butler] Ate that spider

House seemingly endless rain.

Before Ciel could figure out how to deal with these guys who wanted to drown him in the lake, Sebas behind him fell to the ground with a thud.

The damage of the water was too great, dragging Charles ashore had exhausted his last strength.He lay on the ground, buried his face under the black cloak, and said to Charles: "Run, before they surround you, run in any direction, as long as you don't get caught up..."

"What about you?"

"Don't worry about me, the devil won't die just because of a mere flood."

"Come on!" Charles interrupted him, "Then tell me, why are you looking like you are dying now?!" Sebastian stopped talking. It is true that the kind of water that does not know the structure is very important to him. The damage was so severe that he wasn't sure if he would survive if he was thrown into the water again.But what should he say?In other words, as a deacon, what kind of face do I have to ask my master to protect me, let alone that the master is just a small and fragile human child.

Ciel understood Sebastian's silent self-esteem, and laughed without hesitation.He bent down, picked up a branch one meter long and two fingers wide, and drew several circles in the air in the way of fencing.The slightly rough bark has burrs on the surface, piercing into his immature palm.

"I know that you have the pride of being a demon, but I also have the dignity of a human being. I, Charles Phantomhine, will never leave my wounded companions and escape, let alone," he moved Two steps, standing between Sebastian and the enemy, "You are here to save me."

"Even if I'm a demon?" Sebas smiled lightly.

"That's okay." Charles' answer was as hard as steel.

"Even if I stay by your side just to take your soul."

"You can try it." Charles smiled mockingly in his memory, "No matter who you are, if you dare to touch my soul with your dirty hands, I will beat you to the sky."

Charles finally concluded: "My soul belongs only to myself."

Looking at Ciel who still showed the same tenacious light in his memory even though he hadn't experienced those cruel and dark pasts, Sebastian smiled and lowered his head, thinking silently: Let me see, how far can such a beautiful you go? Far, my little one, O King.

A king without a knight really can't go very far. Although the pose is very handsome, and the declaration at the beginning is shocking enough, but within a minute of the actual battle, Charles was caught again.

Sebastian was also captured this time.

"It's a completely unexpected comedy development, master." Obviously there is not much flesh left on the face, but the remaining muscles are still twisted into a smiley face, vaguely evoking the usual gentle smile towards Sebas memories.

I always feel that even if this guy turns into a skeleton, he will still smile with his creaking teeth, making you want to hit him with itchy teeth.

"Who do you think this situation is because of?"

"Ah, ah, isn't it because of the naughty young master who is easy to be kidnapped?" Sebas teased, thinking that the young master would show that angry but enduring cute expression again.

That was Shire who had never been with Torrance. In other words, only Shire who was still safe and sound would be angry and bear it, and then take the opportunity to take revenge without losing his noble status.And Shire, who had been with Torrance. . .

With a cold face, he kicked Sebas in the face. Taking advantage of the guy's inability to resist, he kicked him to the ground and stomped hard.

"What did you just say? Forgive me for being a bit old, and Mr. Charles, whose ears are not very good, didn't hear clearly. If you have the guts, say it again? Ah?"

Shire, who has been played bad by Torrance for a long time, finally understands that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. To treat a scum like Torrance, I must take revenge from morning to night.

If there is no revenge, I will report it on the spot. . .

At this moment, Charles suddenly noticed something was wrong. He raised his eyes and saw that the villagers around them disappeared at some point, and only a crescent moon was reflected on the empty lake.And the color of that month is red.

Under the red moon, in the dense fog, and beside the lake where the sound of insects could not be heard, a distant song suddenly sounded.

Draw a bow full of strings like a thunderbolt

fire freezing night sky

The song of parting is like crying

Shoot the King and Fall to Nine Heavens

deep in my heart

It's a long-forgotten memory

cursed oath

Become a wound that repeatedly withdraws privately

if this moment is destined

At least let my favorite person do it

irresistible force

as darkness swallowed him

Karmic fire runs through like a spiral

If the world is subverted

Icy Red Kiss Like Bloodstains

Shoot the King and Fall to Nine Heavens

"This is... what?" At the end of the song, Charles murmured looking at the empty water, the sadness in the song invaded his chest.

"Probably refers to the feeling of killing your lover with your own hands?" Sebas said, who sat up, "Describe the situation of a person who shoots and kills his beloved with his own hands."

"Why, if you love each other, why kill each other?"

"Who knows?" Sebastian sighed softly, his eyes emptied as if remembering something, "Human beings... always have various...reasons for being 'helpless'."

The perspective turns to Ye Qingzhou.

Stepping into the mist, just closing your eyes and opening them again, the scenery is completely changed.

Standing at the entrance of the village now, he could see a firewood pile more than ten meters high in the open space in the middle of the village.Because he was still holding Andre in his arms when he came in, the two were not separated.

"This is the so-called ghost town of Bazlov, right?" he said to himself, and a few villagers with torches passed by him, but they went straight through him as if they hadn't seen anything. body of.Ye Qingzhou reached out to grab those people, and he could see them clearly, but the place touched by his hands was indeed empty.

"As I told you, everything that happened here is just an infinite repetition of the story that happened before." Andre said to Ye Qingzhou.

"So what about all of this?" He pointed to the crowd gathered in the center of the village, "Are they all in the same situation just now?"

"Have you ever heard of the Lantern Theater? In fact, the principle here should be similar to that there. The people here have long since died, but the clips before their death are kept and played here in a loop. It's like watching Like a movie, everything here is just a phantom, a pre-recorded film."

"Really..." Ye Qingzhou replied, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.I heard that none of the people who came to Bazlov can go back alive, but if this place is really just a phantom, how can those who died explain it?

At this moment a man was drawn onto the woodpile and tied up.

It was a thin man, with sharp features and tightly pursed lips showing a weather-beaten fortitude.Even though someone poured fuel on his body, his face didn't change much.

At this time, Ye Qingzhou suddenly found a little incongruity.Although the man's expression remained the same, his body revealed completely opposite information.

His body trembling with fear, and the appearance of struggling with all his strength, did not look like a resolute person at all—it was more like a coward.

"Would you like to see it?" Andre took his hand and slowly walked to the center of the crowd, without even avoiding those people, passing directly through the villagers' bodies, like passing through the shadow of a tree.

The two stood in the front position, and the demon's good eyesight could even see the man's wrist worn out by the thick rope.Of course, that person also saw them. His body froze first, and then he began to struggle desperately. While struggling, he opened his mouth and let out a cry for help.

Ye Qingzhou couldn't understand a single word the man said, but the despair and expectation in it were conveyed to him bit by bit.

"Is he...is he asking for help from me?" He turned to Andre, feeling a sudden uneasiness in his heart. If it was really just a scene from the past, why did that person cry out after seeing himself? !

"Then...try it." Andre said with a shrug.

Ye Qingzhou stepped forward immediately. He wanted to climb up the firewood pile to get to that person, but he couldn't.His feet went through the firewood, just as they did through the men, and landed on the ground.

At this time, the villagers started to light the fire, and a dozen torches were thrown on the ground, and the flames immediately shot up into the sky.Ye Qingzhou stood in the middle of the fire, but couldn't feel any temperature.

Yes, Andre is right, it's all just a throwback to the past.He raised his head and looked at the person who was about to be burned to death from directly below. For some reason, his heart ached to burst.

The man lowered his head and looked at him, a tear flowed down the corner of his eye, passed through the burning fire, and fell into Ye Qingzhou's eyes.

tears. . .is real. . .

At this moment, a reflected light entered Ye Qingzhou's eyes, and his canthus cracked.

He saw, clearly saw, that man was wearing a golden ring with twelve diamonds and a ruby ​​on it.

He jumped up, and sure enough, after jumping ten meters, he could feel the temperature of the flames!

All this is real.No, or in other words, the real things are mixed in the phantom, with exactly the same posture, if they are all phantoms, they will be killed by the "shadow" without any defense.

He stood in the flames, the flames devoured the corners of his clothes, but the burning pain could not be conveyed to his almost blown head.He took a step forward, tore off the cloth strips that bound the man, and hugged him gently. Sure enough, the man changed into Torrance's appearance, and threw himself into his arms crying.

"Claude! Claude!" The boy who called his name trembled in his arms.

"It's okay...it's okay..." He felt his heart was about to melt, what did he do?He almost watched the person he loved so much burn to death!

He jumped off the stack with Torrance in his arms.

"This is your so-called phantom?" If Ye Qingzhou had a knife in his waist now, he would definitely draw it at this moment.

Andre's eyes also turned cold, "You blame me? Heh, Claude, I'm just giving you advice based on past experience. Who would have thought that such an accident would happen? And what's your attitude? I like you , I also know that you care about Torrance, but I haven't done my best to use this method to get rid of him."

"Misleading." Ye Qingzhou didn't listen to him, put down Torrance, blocked the frightened him behind, reached into his arms and took out three table knives, "You have been misleading me from the beginning, you want me to believe that All of this is a phantom, something that doesn't exist at all, if I really believe you..." He was almost scared to death by this idea, "I will watch him burn alive and do nothing! If something like that really happens, I'll be the first to kill you."

"You!" Andre's expression also twisted, he put his hand on the knight's sword at his waist, and said with a sneer, "Then you have a try, even if you are a demon...it's nothing special."

For a while, the swords were drawn.

No one noticed that from behind Ye Qingzhou, Torrance took out an inch-long dagger and sent it into Ye Qingzhou's body without any effort.

The author has something to say:

Well, the war that has been prepared for so long is only the beginning.

It feels like everything will be spoiled. . .Then just say one thing, modify the truth, fabricate reality.

That's about it, let's move on~~
