Verlaine, just as the rumors say, he is indeed a beautiful and dangerous man. His beauty is wanton and ostentatious, as dazzling as the sun, making people want to approach from the bottom of their hearts, but subconsciously back away. .

An unknown melon writer ZW described Verlaine in the book as "like a star on the screen" and "the god of the Nordic prodigals". Now it seems that he does have the capital to be described in this way.

The other party seemed to be very interested in him, and Akabane Tsurusheng began to think about whether the news that he knew Nakahara Chuya had spread.After all, according to the plot of the original book, Verlaine came to Yokohama because of Chuya Nakahara, presumably it was because of Chuya Nakahara that he deliberately approached him, right?

The small plane took off on the long and narrow ground, and the faces of the people sitting in the seats were ashen.They don't know what their future will be, but it is a good thing to be able to leave this uneasy place for a while.

Akabane Crane wiped the glass surface covered with a layer of fine dust, and watched the city below gradually shrinking, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

has it ended?

No... It's obviously impossible to end it so quickly. Akabane Hesheng still remembered the words Verlaine said to himself at the beginning.Before boarding the plane, the man's inexplicable speech also caught Akabane Tsuruyu's attention——

Train to hell?Do you mean the Huangquan train?No... Verlaine should not be aware of the matter of the Underworld Train, and the Underworld Train only appears in Italy, and it is impossible for it to appear in the Middle East.

The [train to hell] he mentioned probably refers to something dangerous.According to Verlaine, dangerous things are likely to exist on this plane.

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

The girl sitting next to Akabane Tsurusheng was still crying, her shoulders were trembling, and she seemed to be able to cry until she got off the plane.

Originally, Akabane Crane thought that Verlaine would sit beside him, but in the end he chose the place farthest from him.The man was sitting alone in the back row. He was dragging his chin with one hand, his slender legs were crossed, and his golden hair was flowing from the side of his neck. His handsome face was indeed somewhat similar to Zhong Zhong.

It seems that he is not very worried about what will happen in the future... But it is normal, that is Verlaine, even if this plane crashes, he is probably the only one who will not die, right?

"Yes, sorry."

The girl beside Akabane Tsurusheng finally stopped crying, she looked at him tearfully, and said with a bit of aggrieved tone:

"Excuse me, do you have a tissue with you? I'm really sorry... I have caused you a lot of trouble."

"fine."

Akabane Tsurusheng handed over the tissue casually, but the moment he lowered his head and caught sight of the girl's slender wrist, his heart skipped a beat.

For a moment, even though it was only a moment... Akabane Tsurusheng actually saw a few strange eyeballs from the girl's wrist.

Those are a few extremely small eyeballs, like countless fish scales densely packed together, just looking at them makes people feel uncomfortable all over.

After handing over the tissue, Akabane Crane retracted his hand silently, and at the same time began to pay attention to the changes in the space inside the plane.

restless mood.

Although it is not very obvious, it is difficult for people not to pay attention to the countless small restlessness gathered together.

The girl beside him was still crying, and Akabane Tsurusheng also noticed something was wrong.The girl was crying and begging for things from other people on what seemed to be a back-and-forth, she'd been doing stuff like that.And the people around seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with her, but they also took the initiative to attribute it to the fact that girls themselves are relatively fragile, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

It seemed that the problem was with her.

From the very beginning, the girl's eyes have been glued to Akabane Tsurusheng's body, she seems to be watching him all the time, and her gaze contains some kind of extremely sticky emotion... It's not a simple human emotion, it's more like The feelings of unknown creatures from another world.

It shouldn't be her, but [it].

"Sorry, I'm going out for a while."

Akabane Tsurusheng always felt a little uneasy, he quickly got up and walked towards the cockpit of the plane.If possible, he would still like to inquire about the next flight itinerary, and ask the other party about the plane.

However, before he had gone far, a faint smell of blood came from his nostrils. Akabane Crane subconsciously wanted to attack, but in the next second he was lightly grabbed by the wrist.

"Don't get excited, Mr. Akabane. Although I know that you must have a lot of opinions on me at this moment, you have to believe that I have no malice towards you."

The bartender's familiar voice came from his ear, Akabane Crane was slightly taken aback, and quickly retracted his hand.

"What's up?"

This time the tavern was different from other times. The surrounding furnishings looked extremely old, and the air was filled with a faint smell of sea fish and some over-fermented wine.The smell was not very pleasant, and Akabane Tsurusheng frowned unconsciously.

"You should know that the time in this space is chaotic, and you can even live the life of an ordinary person here without any loss in appearance or age."

The bartender is still mixing drinks, this time he is mixing a classic Margarita, which is filled with Tequila (tequila), TripleSec (triple peel) and fresh lime juice in an elegantly curved goblet A mixed cocktail, and the rim of the glass is dotted with some salt grains.

"Really? But you also know that this is not what I'm after."

Akabane Tsurusheng probably also knew that he couldn't resist the man in front of him, so he simply sat casually on the old chair with cracks deliberately made with dark paint, his hands resting on his chin, his eyes slightly drooping There is a bit of helplessness in it.

"Is there anything you want to ask me? I think you seem to have a lot of questions."

Looking at Akabane Crane's thoughtful expression, the bartender asked kindly.

"Yes, of course." Akabane Tsurusheng pointed his finger on the table,

"Can you tell me what the activation conditions of the Retrospective Clock are? I think I should have the right to know."

He noticed the metal box next to him.According to what the other party said, when the lights of the metal box light up four times, the original saved position will be activated.

Akabane Hesheng thought that after what happened to the black organization, maybe he would have the opportunity to change the original facts through the backtracking bell, but in fact he didn't, he didn't even come to such a place as usual.

"The reason is very simple. It's because it hasn't happened yet." The bartender pushed the mixed wine to Akabane Tsurusheng, the smile on his face was still a bit mysterious,

"But I still want to say that sometimes it is a good thing to know not much. If you have a choice, would you rather be a happy person who knows nothing, or a painful person who knows everything?"

"For me, if I can't know my past, this matter itself is a painful thing." Akabane Tsurusheng said coldly.

"Then just wait. The backtracking clock will start when it should happen. Don't worry, everything happens for a reason, and you will get your own ending." The bartender tapped his fingers on the table, his expression a little unbearable,

"Speaking of which, do you know how Margaret's preparation method came about?"

"You know, first sprinkle salt on the back of your hand, hold a small glass of pure tequila between your index finger and thumb, and hold a slice of lemon between your middle finger and ring finger, and finally drink all three at the same time—because you have This way of drinking made Margaret what it is today." Akabane Tsurusheng memorized it like a formula book.

"Three things that can't be mixed at all, in fact, a little reconciliation can achieve a very perfect result. Sometimes life and bartending are so similar, things that were thought to be irrelevant may become magical because of the interlude of fate Wake up." The bartender smiled.

"You didn't bring me here just to buy me a drink, did you?" Akabane Tsurusheng asked.

"Of course not, I'm here to give you a gift. After all, you're likely to go through a pretty bad ordeal next time, and I don't want you to die here." The bartender closed his hands slightly, and A well-crafted shackle also landed on the table.

“[Soul shackles], the shackles that two people who are shackled can only be untied if they fully understand each other. While wearing the shackles, neither side can hurt the other. It’s time to take action.” The bartender smiled,

"The length and flexibility of the chain will be extended according to the degree of mutual understanding, and it can absorb all negative and bad emotions. It is a very suitable prop for taming wild beasts."

"This thing sounds a little bit bad."

Akabane Tsurusheng took the shackles from the opponent's hand with a complex expression, and felt an indescribable feeling for a while.Although the ability is indeed very good, but wearing this thing on the body, I feel that I am not a patient with the second disease, or I have some strange hobbies.

"Is the plane I'm flying in dangerous?" Akabane Tsurusheng asked.

"Of course, if there are no accidents, I'm afraid the inside of the plane will be in a mess when you wake up, right?" the bartender replied rather worriedly.

"Is it caused by the girl sitting next to me?"

"Yes."

“Is [she] human?”

"To some extent, you are really a very sensitive and vigilant person." The bartender praised.

"If it's not a human, then there is a high probability that it is a free-moving supernatural body like the supernatural body wandering around Baiye. And no one can fully control it yet." Akabane Crane thought,

Or, can this handcuff be used to achieve some special means?

"Okay, I've almost finished what I should say, and then I ask Akabane-san to work a little bit harder—"

The bartender had a somewhat mysterious expression on his face, and he seemed to be in a better mood,

"I hope you are safe and sound, Akabane Crane."

"brush--"

The scene in front of him changed drastically. The moment Akabane Tsurusheng opened his eyes, a strange sense of weightlessness mixed with countless screams coming from his ears.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"It...it is eating people! It is eating people!!"

"Damn! I just refused to give it a tissue!! Why did you attack us!! That thing- that thing tore her skin! Crawled out of it!!!"

An almost disgusting bloody smell came over the face, the Snow Queen's automatic protection mechanism was activated, and all the cracks on the plane were spliced ​​together at this moment, and Akabane Tsurusheng also blocked the almost fatal blow through the thick ice surface. hit.

"Boom!!!"

Even with the blocking of the Ice Queen, that thing still seriously injured Akabane Tsurusheng.He seemed to be targeting Akabane Crane as the main target, and the target was quite clear.

Blood flowed wantonly from his shoulder, and the pain like fire spread across the skin and gradually spread.In just a split second, the opponent's quick attack killed most of the people on the plane. The man in the cockpit was trying to calm down his emotions, but he still couldn't hold back his screams.

Only then did he barely see the [person] in front of him clearly.

Its head is square, with a sharp claw protruding from it.It has four blue eyes on its face and two mouths of different sizes. A huge tongue protrudes from the slightly larger mouth, which seems to be a natural feature of some kind of dog.

The body of that thing is composed of human bones and muscles, but the limbs look like dolls spliced ​​by children, scattered in a mess on the shapeless body.The reason why it is called [unshaped] is because its torso is translucent, filled with red, blue and green human organs, and there are two unidentified black liquid flowing out from the abdomen, which looks quite Disgusting.

[Nothing. ]

This is the name analyzed by the data glasses, and his danger level is also the strangest that Akabane Tsurusheng has seen so far.

"Aren't you going to do something, Verlaine?"

Akabane Crane held his shoulders, and looked at the blond man walking slowly not far away.He raised his handsome face, still expressing his inner joy and calmness with a confident expression.

"You seem to know me well?" The blond man was very calm.However, he should have fought against this guy several times, and it was only because of Akabane Tsurusheng's awakening that the friendly communication between the two of them was broken.

"I don't dare to assume that I understand, but he is so calm when encountering such a thing, presumably Mr. Verlaine is not a simple person, right?" Akabane Crane raised his eyebrows.

"I will return this sentence to you as it is—"

Verlaine's eyes fell on the shapeless supernatural body, and a troubled expression appeared on his face.Even he is not sure about his chances of winning when he encounters this kind of monster - it's not because he has no confidence in his ability, but people are always a little afraid of the arrival of unknown creatures.

"Whoa!!!"

Akabane Tsurusheng took out the shackles in his arms, his expression was still cold, obviously he had already given up hope for such a thing as "not crashing the plane", but at this moment, he was still willing to grasp the only possibility.

So, should we try to use soul shackles?

The red-feathered crane swiftly handcuffed one end of the shackle to his wrist, and most of the surviving people on the plane huddled in a corner, hugging their heads in horror, not even wanting to take a second look at the monster.

"Gamble?"

Akabane Crane stared at the shackles in his hands, and muttered to himself.

Nothing has already rushed in his direction, and the oppressive feeling that almost makes people unable to move is also approaching at this moment.But at the moment when the opponent started to move, Akabane Hesheng also threw the other side of the shackles to nothing.

"Crack."

The sound of something being roasted suddenly sounded, and all this happened in just five seconds, but it suddenly made everyone hold their breath.

Huge, almost overwhelming sense of oppression.

It felt as if the originally empty brain was instantly covered by a huge amount of information, and countless negative emotions began to pour in through the handcuffs.Akabane Crane's figure froze slightly, his dark red eyes lost their highlights at this moment, and the [Ice Queen] covering the entire plane also disappeared in an instant.

The huge body disintegrated in an instant, a strong wind poured in, and the people hiding in the corner disappeared like flying dandelions. Verlaine subconsciously stretched out his hand at the moment the accident happened, and grasped it tightly. Another section of the empty shackles that fell.

"Crack."

Before Verlaine could react, he was actually handcuffed by the shackles on his wrists.The blond man's eyes sank, and the two fell towards the sea like this.

At this moment, Akabane Tsurusheng still doesn't know what happened outside his consciousness. At the moment he tried to use [soul shackles] to tame [nothing], the soul shackles almost collapsed at this moment, but somehow it still played a role.

The terrifying supernatural body disappeared, and with it came the changes in Akabane Crane's body.It felt like he had fallen into a sticky pool of blood, even if he wanted to struggle, he was helpless.

He seemed to have fallen into another completely strange world, and his consciousness was in strong confrontation with the foreign consciousness.Want to completely obliterate his consciousness, or completely perish.

However it still fails.

It seemed that someone else stopped the intrusion from the right side, and the agitation gradually settled down, and his brain finally began to gradually wake up.

The icy sea water was flowing next to his ears, and Akabane Crane narrowed his eyes, realizing that he was lying in a certain sea area, and his eyes were in contact with the endless sky.

As expected, he didn't die.But the current situation does not seem to be good.

"Are you satisfied?"

The man sounded like he was about to explode impatiently, but Akabane Tsurusheng turned his head blankly and saw Verlaine who was glaring at him.

satisfy?What are you satisfied with?

The red-feathered crane moved its somewhat stiff body, and only then did he realize that the shackles on his wrist... were actually handcuffed together with Verlaine? ?

Wait a moment?Did he remember that he was handcuffed and had nothing? ?Why did it become Verlaine? ?Could it be that he had nothing but put on Verlaine's skin? ?

No, it shouldn't be. According to his current understanding, once nothing is covered with a human skin, he can only repeat and imitate the last actions and words of the deceased before he was alive. That's why she kept crying and crying Others ask for things and repeat the process.

"Sorry for implicating you." Akabane Tsurusheng decisively apologized,

"So why don't you leave soon? Could it be that you like drifting on the sea?"

"Should I ask you about this kind of thing?" Verlaine said wearily,

"I can't use the power now, that's all."

Unable to use different abilities? ?

Before Akabane Tsurusheng could react, he soon found a window popped up in front of him, and obvious options appeared in front of him.

[May I ask if you agree with Verlaine's use of supernatural powers? A: Agree, B: Deny]

Akabane Crane: "..."

Oh, he remembered, the other person who was shackled, had to obtain the consent of the other person as long as he made a critical decision, so Verlaine couldn't use the ability all the time.

For the same option, Verlaine decisively chose B on the option of agreeing to Akabane Tsurusheng's use of supernatural powers.This caused Akabane Crane to be unable to use the ability of the Snow Queen.

So Akabane Tsurusheng pondered for a few seconds, and decided to choose B.

"The name of the handcuffs is [Soul Shackles]. Once they are bound, they can only be untied if the two trapped parties have a thorough understanding of each other." Akabane Tsurusheng replied,

"I didn't intend to drag you into the water. Since you did it, I can't help it."

"...So did you choose?"

"It's okay to think so, after all, I'm not sure if you're going to do something terrible next. And I don't really recommend lying on the sea with you for a little chat." Akabane Tsurusheng replied.

"Really? But you should be aware that your shoulder was seriously injured, and the blood spread in the sea will attract sharks not far away." Verlaine's tone was also very calm,

"Are you in such a hurry to die?"

"It doesn't matter. By the way, once the person in the soul handcuffs dies, the other person will also die of hunger. I don't care about living and dying, but do you mind dying in love with a man you just met less than a day?" Akabane Tsurusheng replied.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Yes, I'm threatening you."

Verlaine's face was extremely ugly, and it could be seen that he was experiencing quite ups and downs in his inner struggle.He knew exactly what Akabane Tsurusheng wanted, he wanted to get information from him, and... know about his past.

However, Akabane Tsurusheng did not refuse the other party's request for no reason.It was Verlaine who first rejected Akabane Crane's request to use the ability, and Akabane Hesheng also rejected the other party's request.

"Well, excuse me, are you really planning to stay here forever?"

Suddenly, the sound of the dead butterfly's funeral sounded from not far away, and the two subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a man in a formal dress waving at them, and the thing he was riding... was actually that With the coffin that has been carried behind him.

"If you don't mind, do you want to come up?" He patted the coffin that he was afraid that he had grown a lot, and said sincerely,

"If you continue to soak, it might really attract sharks."

Akabane Crane & Verlaine: "..."

Oh, it seems that the contradiction has been resolved in advance.
