Xue Miyin was stunned, and the hand holding the dagger relaxed a little. If it were in the past, Mr. Shuangyue would definitely be able to accurately capture this detail and complete the counterattack in an instant. This is Miyin's fatal weakness, and it has not changed to this day.
Or is it that Miyin doesn’t want to change?
But Shuangyue-kun didn't do that...she didn't.
She just sat here quietly, leaning back slightly, with one hand on the ground behind her side, holding the umbrella, and the other hand just by her side, indifferent.
"Don't think that I will be swayed by saying these words - you are not going to die anyway. This is not even a punishment for you!"
Her voice was clearly trembling.
"You are shaken," she said, "because I didn't lie. If you stab me like this, I will die. You should know very well, or at least be able to anticipate some consequences... The two tongues must have passed you by long ago. Angry. Of course, maybe she might not be able to bet on this outcome, and maybe I haven’t thought about it... In short, whether you choose to believe it at the moment it happens is entirely up to you."
"I can not understand what you say!"
"I am no longer the Six Paths Impermanence... I was stripped of my identity as the underworld because I got my name back."
Xue Miyin was completely stunned.
She knew very well that "Shuoyue Jun" was by no means a person who loved to make up stories. Such a wonderful, dramatic, and unexpected plot, Shuangyue-kun must not have come up with it. Why did she say this? To delay time? No way, she's just sitting here. As long as Miyin is willing, he can kill him at any time and put an end to the hatred that has been brewing for many years. She might really die!
...She can't really die.
At that moment, Xue Miyin had to force herself to admit one thing.
She dared to do whatever she wanted, dared to be so unscrupulous, maybe completely or at least to a large extent, because she knew very well: no matter what, Lord Shuangyue would not die.
But she actually found her name.
In December, Huangquan is a person who has been deprived of his name. From ancient times to the present, no one has truly recovered his name. Their names will cause trouble, so it is better to erase them among the people. Yama may or may not be the only one who knows their names. Sometimes, in pursuit of complete secrecy, even the secret keeper chooses to forget things he once remembered.
Or should I say... If Yama had remembered their names, he would have taken action the moment the woman was about to speak.
but no.
"Shuangyue Lord" opened his mouth slightly and said four big words without anyone stopping him.
"Liangqiu Muwan." She said, "I am Liangqiu Muwan."
For a moment, the whole world was quiet. This is something that is unquestionable and absolutely happened. Everyone in the world, down to every blade of grass, clearly feels the stasis of time.
But no one really talks about the reason for it - because it was so short.
For some reason, Xue Miyin completely believed what she said.
There is no doubt that she will die if she is struck by a dagger. She would die from massive blood loss, even before losing consciousness from the pain.
She would die a terrible death, and it would be her last.
Xue Miyin's hand
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Trembling.
Did she shrink back? Why? Hadn't she been looking forward to this day? She and her friends had been planning for a long time, weren't they just waiting for this scene to happen? Or is it that this is not the result she wants to see, but... her friend? No, no, no, that's not the case. She will never admit it - everything she has done to this day is her own decision!
She gritted her teeth and gripped the dagger tighter. To her surprise, the calmness and calmness she had just now completely disappeared, but appeared on the face of the woman in front of her - this woman named Liang Qiu Muwan.
"It's such a good name, but it's a pity that it won't be of much use in the future."
"You hesitated." Mu Wan said, "As long as I am still breathing in the world, it is my victory for one more moment. Since you hesitate, it is my victory. So as a winner... I hope you listen to me Let’s talk again. Anyway, for you holding the butcher’s knife, there’s not much time left, right?”
"What do you want?!" Miyin almost collapsed.
"I am not a saint, you have known this for a long time - the moment you were disappointed in me. Although, I never said that you should maintain this illusion about me. But it doesn't matter, what I want to say is actually... ...Many times, I told myself, give up on you. You are already a monster, and you are in league with monsters. You are on the opposite side of human beings, and you are not worthy of sympathy and redemption. The rest of your existence will be left to that adult. Just deal with it. My colleagues and I just need to do business. You are just a small life that I have saved over hundreds of years, a life that has the right of independent choice that all lives have. Many times, I I almost completely convinced myself and treated you as a white-eyed wolf without a conscience."
Xue Miyin bit her lower lip so hard that it almost bled. It's not that she didn't think about whether Mr. Shuangyue would think of her this way, but she told herself "don't care". But now that these words really come out of this person's mouth, they still seem too cruel. During the period narrated in this passage, she also had the opportunity to wield a sword, just like Mu Wan.
But none of them did so.
"In the end I decided to save you..."
Mu Wan handed over a small fragment of blue amber, which was exactly one-fifth of the original body.
It is smooth on one side and arched on the other. The raised side reflected his distorted face.
"Because someone asked me not to give up on you."
"You, what nonsense are you talking about..."
Xue Miyin used her free hand to grab the fragment of blue amber and held it firmly in her hand, not giving Mu Wan a chance to regret it. But she herself became more and more hesitant. Miyin didn't know what he was hesitating about at this moment. If she really became an ordinary person, wouldn't this be a great thing? With just one strike of the knife, even if the knife is made of the same material as the Demon-Sealing Blade, this woman will die. She is an ordinary woman!
but……
but--
Kill this ordinary woman and she will die...she will die truly and forever. But is this woman who seems to be killed by her the next moment really the person she wants to kill?
It might be strange to think so. She is Shuangyue Jun and Liangqiu Muwan. In the final analysis, they are the same person. But no matter what, Xue Miyin could not relate an immortal six-path impermanence to an ordinary human woman.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The person she really wants to erase from existence is clearly the self-righteous impermanent ghost, not a mere human being. Human beings are so fragile, and there is no meaning or value for her to do anything - and she was once so fragile.
Although the former Shuoyue Lord's attitude was so peaceful, he was almost too calm to be a normal person. But Miyin still hesitated. It was better to say...she wasn't so determined from the beginning.
"What I said is true," said the ordinary woman sitting on the ground, "I'm afraid you have forgotten... you once had such a close partner who stayed with your shamisen. Where is your shamisen? ? I’m afraid I haven’t touched him for a long time. Think about it, Amiao was once the place where you miss your friend... But after you find the person you think you are, can Amiao be abandoned? "
"You fart!"
Xue Miyin became angry and pierced the dagger in his hand under the catalysis of emotion. Although Mu Wan was peaceful, he was not waiting for death peacefully. The combat experience accumulated over hundreds of years is of course genuine, and these things are not firmly linked to her impermanent identity. Even if she becomes an ordinary person, she still has this strength and reflexes.
Therefore, she grabbed Mi Yin's wrist as a matter of course.
Miyin was already trembling and didn't have much strength. It was easy to restrain her. Xue Miyin has long given up her identity as a human being, and her power as a monster allows her to fight to the death against this "old friend" in front of her.
"I don't care whether you care about Amiao or not. But I know that it still cares about you."
"What's the point of talking about this now?"
"Do you really want to disappoint it and make it sad? You should use this amber to listen to its voice."
"You are really the same as before, only capable of these bluffing tricks!"
"You never think about what it really wants, you just focus on your feelings."
Mu Wan spoke without mercy, making her completely unable to associate with the gentle Shuangyue Lord. She pushed her dagger away, and Miyin stabbed her from the other direction. Mu Wan raised her leg, hooked Ye Yinlu with the toe of her shoe, and held the umbrella handle firmly in her hand, just in time to withstand the powerful blow - at least it was much more powerful than the previous one.
"Who do you have to judge me?!"
"Maybe I'm not qualified," the woman named Mu Wan used Lord Shuangyue's umbrella to parry, "I just use your method to interpret me. If you think I'm irresponsible, then you are not responsible either; you privately God of Creation, give your hope that you have nowhere to put it; I assume that you have a conscience and will not abandon a small soul. I just admitted that I really want to give up on you, so can I understand—— Did you abandon the cat that has been with you for many years?"
Xue Miyin no longer wanted to explain. Even the evil messenger of Qiyu didn't bother to argue in the face of such resentment. She swung the dagger, but not at a fatal point. Lord Shuangyue also adjusted his posture and picked up the handle of his umbrella to block the weak blow.
They were evenly matched against each other, which was really surprising. Perhaps the knowledge and experience of the six realms of impermanence are deeply rooted in Mu Wan's body; perhaps Xue Miyin, who is in a complicated mood, cannot exert her strongest strength in this situation. One person and one demon were in a stalemate like this. It seemed that everyone wanted to put the other to death, but no one wanted to do so.
None of them were distracted in this battle that put their lives at risk.
