Even so, Chao Wu did not leave the door, he still kept a good look.
My head hurts more and more.
My eyes became fierce without knowing it, like a dark ghost.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
Chaowu was slightly startled, raised his hands, and stepped back.
And I am just the opposite. With a rare clear expression on my face, I raised my head and stared at the door like a man possessed.
There is someone behind the door that I want to see.
Although I don't know who he is, I seem to be able to trace him through the door.
I reached out my hand, but before I could take a few steps, huge pressure hit my back, and I gritted my teeth and turned back.
It's Asagiri.
He held a gilt lantern in his hand and pressed it lightly against my back.
"Do you feel it? This is the weight of the soul," he said.
He used a light to hold down my soul so that I could not open that door to those outside.
I was so anxious that my eyes had never been so red in my life. But the people outside seemed very relaxed. Youyou folded her hands and stood in the middle of the door, motionless.
The next second, there was a loud bang at the door, followed by strong shaking of the surrounding walls.
The next minute, the huge door collapsed, and the wind and rain were accompanied by thunder in the sky.
A man stood at the door, his figure straight but blurred by lightning.
I heard him chuckle: "Long time no see, you guys made it easy for me to find you."
The thunder stopped, the air returned to silence, and the sky became dark again. Needless to say, both Asagiri and I saw his face clearly at the same time.
It was a face exactly like mine.
The boy was wearing a turtleneck white sweater, a blue jacket, and shorts that just touched his knees. This outfit looks so familiar to me, but I can't remember where I've seen it before.
The young man met the inquiring eyes of me and Chao Wu, and raised the corners of his mouth tiredly: "It's raining outside and it's so cold. Forgive me, I'm coming in."
"No, you can't!" Chaogiri shouted and moved the lamp that was pressing on my back. I was so relieved that I collapsed on the ground.
The young man finally walked in unscrupulously, smelling of damp earth.
However, the moment his left foot touched the ground of the tower, the inside of the tall clock tower instantly seemed to shrink and twist, as if it was being pulled by something.
"Who are you?" Chaogiri licked his dry lips.
The young man shrugged and forced an extremely helpless smile on my face: "My name is Watanabe Siye, and I have the honor to meet both of you."
"Watanabe Siye?" I was stunned. I always felt that the name sounded familiar in some way.
"Kirizawa," the young man called my name accurately, "You have been out for so long, are you willing to go back with me?"
go back?
My head hurts to the point of being unbearable.
I thought maybe that was why I nodded in agreement without any thought.
"That's great~" Si Ye smiled brightly with dusty cheeks.
He walked towards me, and with every step he took, the entire clock tower in his field of vision swayed.
Finally, he came up to me and extended his hand to me. Throughout the whole process, Asagiri's performance can be said to be sluggish.
He was half-kneeling on the ground, his mouth slightly open, his eyes scanning aimlessly.
I pursed my lips and glanced at him quickly. I held Si Ye's hand that was still in mid-air.
In an instant, my world fell into darkness.
I felt like I was in a stranger's body, but everything around me felt so warm and familiar. So, I completely let down my guard, and in the silence, I closed and opened my eyes.
…
Chaogiri couldn't tell the situation at all now.
He saw Kirihara holding Si Ye's hand, and then his whole body turned into a wisp of green smoke with a smile, drifting into his body along Si Ye's Qiqiao.
After about half a minute, Si Ye opened his eyes with a look of surprise on his face.
"So that's it," he murmured, "Mr. Chaogiri, you thought you played a good chess game, but you didn't expect that you also became a chess piece."
Chao Wu was confused when he heard these words, but something was still broken in his heart.
"You, stay away from me!" When he saw the young man walking into him, he struggled to get up and shouted.
Meanwhile, the alley in the distance.
More and more windows were smashed open one by one. The shadows' black bean-like eyes turned red in pairs, and their bodies began to swell and twist in pain.
They floated in the air and cried like babies.
After a while, as if they had received an order, they came out in hundreds and rushed towards the tower.
…
I stood three steps away from Asagiri and stopped.
I heard a rumbling sound coming from behind and getting closer. I closed my eyes and looked carefully. It seemed to be mixed with human cries and lamentations.
My face turned pale instantly. It was Asagiri's violent emotional changes that attracted these inhuman things.
Before, the door of the tower could withstand the slightest resistance, but now that the door has collapsed, even rain can come and go easily, not to mention those resentful and irrational things?
Chaogiri obviously also discovered this. He pointed at me with his fingertips and shouted in a high voice: "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! I have been here for so many years! This kind of problem has never happened... "
"My fault?" I laughed angrily, and took a step closer, watching helplessly as his arrogance slumped, "You are so ridiculous, you don't even know how long you have trapped yourself... Come on, tell me, what are you doing?" How many years have you been here?”
Asagiri obviously didn't want to answer my question, but he still subconsciously followed my thinking.
Yes, how many years have you been here?
He covered his head with his hands, his face twisted.
The violent sounds of the shadows became more and more intense, and they finally arrived, carrying the wind and rain.
But unfortunately, even though we opened the door for them long ago, the guests obviously didn't appreciate it. They screamed and knocked down several walls.
The originally magnificent clock tower fell into decay in an instant.
Although my original goal was to assassinate Asagiri, it seems that the world is completely determined by his will. As severe as his mental breakdown was, once it completely dissipated, there was no guarantee that I would be able to live alone.
Helpless, I could only pick up Chaowu from the waist and ran towards the back room.
Just now, Asagiri led Kirihara Zawa to a door in a stumbling manner. If Asagiri didn't have any harmful intentions, it should be safe behind that door.
Thinking this, I quickened my pace.
I quickly walked to the door. Unexpectedly, all the black shadows stopped three meters away from the door, as if they were afraid of something.
I also stopped, laid Chaogiri flat on the ground, and pushed the door open.
Accompanied by a soft "squeak", a dark and moist breath came towards me. I couldn't help but wrinkle the tip of my nose. I smelled an unbearable rancid smell.
I took several steps back, and the group of black figures also struggled to retreat with my steps.
This figure of a person seemed particularly abrupt: Chao Wu was on all fours, making a strange hoarse sound in his throat, and quickly climbed into the door.
I ran a few steps forward, but it was already too late. His figure was lost in the darkness behind the door.
This time it wasn't just my head, all my limbs felt like they were being torn apart.
The world fell silent for a moment.
