The gods, holding two hearts in their hands, made a judgment on the girl's heart.
They ordered that this relationship must remain connected. Since the boy's heart was already incomplete, the girl had to hate others for this incompleteness, becoming disgusted, twisted, and even morbid, until some point in the future when she could no longer bear the hatred in her heart and "stayed together forever" with the boy in a way that would please the gods.
...something went wrong in the middle.
What is unexpected is that the girl did not completely hate the boy. The weight of that beam of light almost occupied her entire childhood. Some people need to spend their entire lives to heal the misfortunes of their childhood, but Rena Asakura used the childhood encounter with him to comfort herself for the rest of her life.
Until this moment, the gods were impatiently clenching their two hearts to bring the story to a final conclusion.
They want to see blood and death, to see loved ones killing each other, to see the boy or girl who killed their loved one collapse in regret, to swallow them up in the moment of greatest emotional despair.
This is the main course.
The gods ate countless suffering souls, but compared with the boys and girls, the souls they had eaten before were just appetizers. When the main course was finally served, they pretended to be dressed in gorgeous clothes and held knives and forks, but just imagining the faint deliciousness of the main course made them salivate, and they drooled like greedy pigs.
The gods in the mountains showed ferocious faces and laughed wildly:
[Go and kill him. Let us be witnesses and fulfill your original agreement! ]
【You will be together forever! 】
Ishii Takashi sneered contemptuously and slowly stepped back, leaving the venue to Uesugi Nobuyuki and Asakura Rena.
An indescribable pain came from Rena Asakura's brain. She picked up the longbow in her hand with a dazed expression. The longbow moved slowly, but the moment it touched the boy's figure, her hand trembled violently, and her azure pupils shrank suddenly.
She couldn't do it. She couldn't even do such a simple prelude as pointing the longbow at Uesugi Nobuyuki's heart.
What flashed through her mind was the boy who held her hand and shared laughter with her since childhood, the young man in the distance who looked tired all day and seemed out of reach of her, and the knight on a motorcycle, covered in blood but still keeping the promise.
——I will definitely think of you.
She was very happy when she heard this.
But he didn't dare to show his happiness openly. He could only withdraw his hand in disappointment and pretend that he didn't care.
She had already gotten her answer, so how could she hate him?
Her chest became increasingly heavy, as if a rope around her neck was slowly tightening. She heard countless voices of instigation, each one telling her of the evil of human nature, each one teaching her that revenge was right, and each one fantasizing that if she killed him, she would be with him forever, and his heart would no longer belong to other girls, but only to her.
The gods used the agreement as a bargaining chip, their hearts...
puff-
Blood gushed out from his heart in an instant, and the collar of his clothes, which was already stained red by blood, was soaked by the hot blood. The snow-white blade pierced through his chest and pierced his heart. The blade broke through from behind his shoulder, and the blood mist evaporated on the blade. The connection between the heart and the blood vessels was violently severed, and the whole heart was pierced behind the boy by the knife. From a distance, it looked like a sinful red apple.
All the instructive noise in my head disappeared.
【what happened? 】
[The Heart-Locking Curse is broken? ]
[Who is dead?! No, he is not dead yet, but where is his heart? That guy is crazy! ]
Asakura Rena let go of the longbow and raised her head blankly. Her trembling pupils caught a glimpse of blood. Large streams of blood gushed out of Uesugi Shin's chest like a water pump out of control. With every heavy breath he took, the blood fell to the ground with a plop, forming pools of blood.
"She loved you most at the moment you died."
After he stabbed his own heart, Xiao Ai gave him the final reward.
Uesugi Nobuyuki felt as if he was being guided into a certain video. He opened his eyes, and the reward for the brave was reflected in his pupils. That was when he swung the sword for Yumeno Chiharu. At the moment when he died completely, Asakura Rena was holding his body, and the ID on his head was pure pink.
The curse of locking the heart.
Using the abstract heart as a carrier, even if the heart is reborn, it cannot escape the curse of the past.
But at the same time, the curse also needs a specific medium. His heart and Asakura Rena's heart are closely connected by the curse. At the moment of facing the gods, he can even hear each other's voice. Under this premise, if one person's heart is destroyed, the curse will also be silenced.
This is also what the gods pursue, to exchange the death of one of them for a more delicious main course.
"It's really late to complete this setting, otherwise I wouldn't have to listen to him nagging so much..."
On the Night Sword, the red lotus fire burst out like a manic beast, and the "red apple" hanging on it was burned to ashes by the flames. He slowly pulled the sword out of his chest, and the blade cut through the flesh, bringing crazy and almost fainting pain, but he was very grateful to Brother Dao for supporting him at the critical moment and still standing here.
He actually didn't guess that much.
All he had was a reminder from the love game—the heart is the carrier.
Ishii Takashi was talking nonsense that no one wanted to listen to. At that time, Uesugi Nobuyuki had a brief thought. It had nothing to do with what Ishii Takashi said that went in one ear and out the other. He was thinking about his heart.
It is impossible for people not to be afraid of death.
The desire to survive is an instinct engraved in the DNA of life. It drives people to do their best when facing life-threatening situations, even if it means they have to linger on to survive.
Why are some people able to risk their own lives?
The great terror of death is right before our eyes. No matter whether it is a tiny insect or a huge beast, all animals will display amazing deeds and try their best to survive. Only human faith can illuminate the long night like the sun, giving people unimaginable courage and tenacity in the face of death.
Of course Uesugi Nobu was afraid of death. He still had a lot of things to do, and he had Xiao Wei to take care of at home. He was carrying such a heavy burden, both the dead and the living. How could he die? How could he die quietly in this tiny corner of Kawayama County?
Can the curse really be lifted by piercing the heart?
I'm going to kill myself for an uncertain possibility.
Is there any other room, any other more reliable way that can allow him and Reina to find hope in their desperate situation?
Similar fantasies will inevitably flash through your mind, which is the last struggle for survival before ending your own life with your own hands.
But no.
As for me, I can't let her pick up the bow and arrow again.
Even if it wasn't her intention, if she really pointed the arrow at my heart, the little princess would be haunted by this moment for the rest of her life. She would remember again and again that she once pointed the arrow at the person she loved. It would be useless to explain to her that someone else instigated her.
Just as she would silently pass by your life again and again in the past, this thorn will be buried in the shadow that you cannot see. In the heart of this girl with the purest emotions, every time she thinks about how much she loves you in the future, it will suddenly choke her throat like the queen's poisonous apple.
How could I watch her get hurt?
This is not a manly thing to do.
Rocco, you are right. In this crazy world where even animals can sit in temples and be worshipped, the only thing we can believe in is the power of the heart.
I've done it once before, and it's just that I lost my heart, right?
I still have to fulfill the promise I made to her.
Just for the sake of this girl whom I have forgotten, I must drag these scums who have ruined the human soul into hell before I die.
The broken pieces of the heart were burning with embers, and they fluttered away from behind like maple leaves.
Everything has changed.
Asakura Reina couldn't shed tears, she stared at him blankly, as if her soul had been taken away. The entry above her head also turned a very fresh color, pink, very eye-catching, it was the first time he saw an entry of this color, making him want to click it to take a look.
Just watch it, what’s there not to see?
"Asakura Reina (16)"
"Favorability: 100"
"Description: The beloved girl you forgot, loves you so deeply, but is also so desperate. Even if you have hurt her a thousand times, when you want to hold her hand for the thousand and first time, she will give it to you without hesitation."
"This is one thousand and one nights between me and you."
It turned out to be the case.
In the character entries that have been completely conquered, Uesugi Nobuyuki can even click on Rena Asakura's personal attribute column to view the girl's various statistics in detail, including her magic power.
If she pointed her longbow at him, this dream would end in a nightmare.
Then let this dream become a beautiful dream.
No matter what the future holds, she will always remember that there was a knight who came across thousands of mountains and rivers, overcoming difficulties and obstacles, and led her through the long night.
——Even if I die nine times, I will not regret it.
A brief moment of trance flashed across the deep black pupils.
The memories that were taken away by the curse, when he was conscious but not dead, surged out from the deepest part of his memory, as loud as the rolling sea of clouds, almost drawing in a person's heart.
At the moment of his death, Rena Asakura was the freest and most in love with him, pursuing scenes from past memories. While running, the girl repeatedly flashed the image of the main hall of the shrine, which was the final noose of the mountain gods.
But the reason Uesugi Nobuyuki is alive is simply because of the promise he made to Yumeno Chiharu. He swings his sword with pure will until dawn, but his mind is actually empty. The moment he is truly awake is when he looks back at Yumeno Chiharu before dawn, gazing at the girl he vowed to protect.
He died, and when he opened his eyes again, the curse once again trapped him and Rena Asakura.
This time, he had no reason to forget.
"Magic: 223"
The next moment,
The magic value stopped flickering, but the value changed quietly.
"Magic: 249"
"Magic: 276"
"Magic: 308"
Uesugi Nobu felt more at ease than ever before. His heart was empty, but the beating of his heart was replaced by the joy of fire. The fire burned more and more wildly, as if a red dragon was roaring frantically in his heart. Anger surged in his pupils, and the seven-year-old child was reflected in the deepest part of his pupils, so small that he looked like an invisible dot, but like hydrogen, it made the fire violent and almost out of control.
My first promise has been fulfilled.
There's only one left, and I'm going to take her away from here, and no one can stop me.
What about Ishii Takashi in front of him?
Is he claiming to have a noble soul after hearing all that rubbish he just said went in one ear and out the other?
"A good friend of mine told me that your soul is tainted."
Uesugi Shin grinned and praised in an extremely admiring tone: "It is still polluted by the suffering souls that you look down upon. It stinks just like the dirty water in the fucking sewer."
The phantom-like spirit suddenly stopped for a moment.
Ishii Takashi tried his best to suppress the twitching of his mouth and put on an elegant smile, as if he was sympathizing with the misfortune and angry at the lack of resistance. He had achieved some kind of spiritual victory, so he could say compassionately: "Why do you still resist?"
"Do you feel like a hero?"
The ghost hands behind Ishii Takashi rustled and circled over. Hundreds of ghost hands were like tentacles in the dark night, densely covering the air. There were eyes and mouths on the palms of their hands. Every eye was empty and greedy, and the mouth opened and closed silently. The overlapping of them presented a terrifying sense of terror, staring fiercely at the young man in front of them.
He seemed to find it very funny, so he asked in an arrogant tone: "You hold high the banner of heroes to satisfy your own selfish desires. You stand in front of me for revenge. Look at the anger in your eyes. To be frank, you just want to avenge the suffering you have suffered in the past, but you pretend to be protecting others."
Ishii Takashi walked forward, the pale phosphorescent light behind him burning brighter and brighter, and he said, "I wonder if you have heard a passage?"
"There are two chief sins of men, from which all the rest derive: impatience and sloth. Because of their impatience they are banished from heaven; because of their sloth they can never return."
He asked: "Do you think that most people in this world really exist?"
"Anxious and irrational thoughts, lazy and passionless souls, they indulge in low-grade entertainment like pacifiers, wasting every minute and every second of their lives, and even their existence itself seems to be a blasphemy against the beauty of life..."
Ishii Takashi seemed to be a chatterbox, talking incessantly. He talked about how complex the structure of life was, how incredible a miracle human existence was, and how some people did not deserve to live. Impatient and lazy people were like pests that polluted the beauty of life.
"I have found a new path, a different path from the organization. Do humans have to develop in the direction of adapting to magic? Are new humans really that perfect? I don't think so. Even if all humans adapt to magic and can use magic to control their destiny, those stupid souls, those lazy souls... those garbage whose natures are hard to change, are they worthy of just lying down and enjoying the fruits of their labor?"
Ishii Takashi said intoxicatedly:
"Why not follow the rules I set? I will select suitable humans, turn all inferior souls into food, and then select qualified humans to share eternal life with us. By then, humans will be integrated into a collective without any barriers. Everyone will enjoy endless life and explore the truth of the world in the long years—"
Do you think that there is any conflict between my revenge, revenge for Reina, protecting Reina, and eliminating harm for the people?
I'll kill you and step you into a cesspool, and all four wishes will be fulfilled at once.
Let’s talk about your stupid theory again. Your fucking soul is polluted and even your brain has become retarded?
If we want to argue, I can denigrate you, a stupid bastard, and scold you to the point of being worthless.
but--
Uesugi Shin responded with the most contemptuous look. He sneered and directly ignored what he said, saying contemptuously: "I'm too lazy to reason with you. You don't deserve to listen."
Ishii Takashi fell silent.
It was the first time that Uesugi Nobunaga saw this stupid dog's hands trembling. He didn't know whether this old bastard's mentality was bad to begin with, or his soul was polluted by his previous painful soul, causing his ability to withstand stress to drop significantly. Now he was like a grumpy old man who could explode at any moment.
"Stupid!" Ishii Takashi said coldly.
Claims to be a high-level intellectual.
He was immersed in his own world, looking down on everyone with arrogance, and taking his own preaching words as the gospel.
Do you know what the greatest humiliation is for these mentally retarded people with underdeveloped brains?
Treat everything he insists on as worthless garbage, trample it underfoot, and finally insult him with contempt, "What kind of bullshit did you just say? I don't even want to listen."
