February 10, Saturday, evening, hospital rooftop.
Today is the Chinese Lantern Festival, it is the full moon, and it is also the time when Minamino Hideichi sacrificed his life to the dark mirror in exchange for his mother Minamino Shiholi to have a happy second half of her life.
The Dark Mirror is a magic mirror that fulfills people's wishes and takes their lives at the same time.
Minami Shuichi thought to himself, I have been cheating on her, and if I can redeem myself by doing so, I am willing.
Urameshi Yusuke saw Minamino Shuichi put his hand in front of the dark mirror, and rushed forward as soon as his head got hot.
"Mirror, give him some of my life so that you can fulfill his wish without taking away all of his life, right?"
"Yusuke Urameshi, what are you thinking in your head?"
"Have you ever seen your mother cry for herself? That is a sin worthy of death!"
"……Thanks!"
Following a burst of weakness, both Urameshi Yusuke and Minamino Shuichi fainted.
After a while, Yamazaki, Midaiko, and Yamakawa Kumiko arrived.
Yamazaki watched Urameshi Yusuke and Minamino Shuichi both fall in front of the dark mirror, and felt a little nervous. Their life and death were related to one issue, which was whether the only way for the dark mirror to realize its wish was death.
"Brother, are they dead?"
"I hope not."
Yamazaki stepped forward and felt the pulses of Urameshi Yusuke and Minamino Shuichi, and found that they still had pulses. He was relieved and said with a joyful smile: "They are not dead, that's great, they are not dead."
"Then let's try it quickly." Mei Daizi took out the contract.
"Let me help you." Kumiko Yamakawa suppressed her excitement and helped.
The three of them piled up the small mountain of contracts, then looked at each other, strengthened their confidence, and used the dark mirror together.
While holding my breath and waiting nervously, changes appeared.
The dark mirror shone brightly, and the contracts turned into dust. A feeling of comfort surged through the body. This must be a success, right?
Soon after, all the contracts were gone, and the light of the dark mirror disappeared. It seemed that nothing had happened, making Yamazaki, Midaiko, and Yamakawa Kumiko look at each other.
Mei Daizi asked: "This should be successful, right?"
Yamakawa Kumiko said: "Probably, lifespan and vitality are both invisible and intangible things."
"The lifespan can only be seen by living without any accidents. The vitality can be tested by the recovery rate after injury." Yamazaki said, "Let's do this, Meidaizi, look here, I will try the next stage of practice. , if seriously injured..."
"No, I'll do it." Mei Daizi sat down on the ground before Yamazaki finished speaking and closed her eyes.
Yamazaki was helpless, but he didn't want to be disturbed, so he could only watch worriedly.
The practice theory of Yamazaki and Meidaizi is to use the body's own force to offset gravity. The first stage is to control the muscles outside the body and use the muscles to control the bones; the second stage is to control the muscles inside the body and use the muscles to control the internal organs.
This was Yamazaki's own idea, and Meidaizi gave Yamazaki confidence, because it only took a short time for Meidaizi to completely control the external muscles of the body, and her natural strength was greater than that of ordinary people, so her strength increased. To the point of being unpredictable.
It's just that Yamazaki has not yet completely controlled the muscles on the outside of his body, and can only adjust them a little bit. Kumiko Yamakawa is also practicing, but he is basically standing still.
Meidaizi couldn't explain why this happened. She just said that she succeeded if she followed her feelings. This left Yamazaki speechless and wondering what the problem was. …
As time passed, Urameshi Yusuke and Minamino Shuichi both showed signs of waking up.
"Kumiko, this matter of ours will be kept secret for the time being."
"Yes sir."
While Yamazaki and Yamakawa Kumiko were talking, Urameshi Yusuke and Minamino Shuichi woke up.
"Damn, I feel like my whole body is falling apart."
"I'm still alive, what about my mother?"
Minamino Shuichi ran away excitedly, and Urameshi Yusuke finally found Yamazaki and the others.
"Why are you here?"
"You two are lying down, so of course someone has to watch the Dark Mirror."
Watching Yamazaki shake the dark mirror in his hand, Urameshi Yusuke couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Seeing that guy Kurama preparing to sacrifice himself to save his mother, I couldn't help but rush forward. It's really scary now that I think about it. .”
"You mean, Nanno-san is really a fox demon?" Yamazaki asked.
"Well, it's said that it possessed the child in her mother's belly, replaced him, and then turned into a human." Yusuke Urameshi scratched his head, "It's probably similar to the reincarnation in the TV series, that is. so."
Yamazaki asked: "Then his strength reaches S level?"
"I don't know." Urameshi Yusuke said, then he looked at Midaiko and asked, "What is she doing?"
Yamazaki said: "Xiu Xiu, please don't disturb her."
"Oh." Urameshi Yusuke said, "I'll leave the mirror here for you first. I'll go back to sleep first."
"I will try my best to take care of it," Yamazaki said.
After Urameshi Yusuke left, Yamazaki noticed that Meidaiko took a deep breath, then her heartbeat slowed down, and then she stopped breathing. If you listen carefully, there was no heartbeat at all.
Yamakawa Kumiko couldn't help but ask: "Sir, is Miss okay?"
"It doesn't matter," Yamazaki said with a smile, "Meidaiko should have succeeded, and in my imagination, this is an inevitable step to the third stage of cultivation. Control breathing by controlling the lungs, control blood flow by controlling the heartbeat, and control the organs of the human body. If you lose oxygen, you can still work for a period of time, but if the brain loses oxygen, irreparable damage can occur within five minutes, so the first problem in life is the supply of oxygen to the brain."
"You mean, Miss Meidaiko has now taken control of her body and supplied the oxygen in her body to the brain alone," Yamakawa Kumiko asked, "in order to extend the breath-holding time?"
"Yes, because in some harsh environments, you need to hold your breath for a long time in order to survive longer and protect yourself better." Yamazaki said, "I envision that the third stage should be to cultivate the brain, but what is the specific purpose? We don’t have a comprehensive concept, and we still need to explore it in practice.”
Yamakawa Kumiko asked: "Miss Meidaiko, when will you wake up?"
"Meidaiko no longer needs anyone to protect her, and she should be able to hear us." Yamazaki said, and then said helplessly, "The problem is that what we want to test has not been tested at all this time, and it has not even been tested. The dangers of the second stage of practice have not been tested. I thought Mei Daizi was just testing the second stage of practice, but she completed it directly. Based on the actual experience of the first stage of practice and my prediction of the second stage of practice. The danger is that it will take me at least ten years to do it with all her efforts, and that’s based on the success of the wish and a lot of life force to squander.”
Yamakawa Kumiko chuckled and said, "Actually, that's not bad. At least Miss Meidaiko has become stronger."
"Incredibly strong." Yamazaki sighed with emotion. "I don't know what those lord-level demons are like, but I believe that in terms of physical strength, Meidaizi will definitely surpass them now. The only difference is spiritual power."
"Brother, do you have so much confidence in me?" Mei Daizi opened her eyes, her eyes smiling like crescent moons. …
