Chapter 24 Forever Night(1/2)
The scene fell into silence for a while...
The witch lowered her eyes and eyebrows for a long time, and finally sighed slightly.
She raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her who seemed to be waiting patiently. She looked into his eyes and seemed to be determined to say something: "I..."
But at this moment, a huge purple light suddenly lit up in the distance. It came from someone unknown. It appeared at the end of the horizon and spread out at an incredible speed, with a sweeping momentum.
Sweeping towards the horizon farther and farther.
In just an instant, it enveloped the entire city.
The most dangerous thing is that the girl in sailor uniform just came back from the back mountain. She ran all the way back to the ancestral hall. She took a few breaths, then opened the door of the ancestral hall and ran in. She came to the entrance in the darkness.
In front of the dry well, he turned over and jumped in.
Her figure just disappeared into the well mouth, and at that moment, the purple light swept across the ancestral hall and the entire Higurashi Shrine.
Wherever the light passes, the corresponding space area seems to be completely frozen.
Whether it is humans, animals, vehicles, or even the flowing wind, they all stopped in their current state of motion... The flags fluttering in the square, the fighter jets returning in the sky in the distance, and the surface of the Edogawa River
Rising waves, everything is like this.
It's like the content presented in a photo, or like time standing still in amber.
——Finally, everything calmed down.
"..."
"..."
The air became quiet.
The wind seems to have stopped blowing.
Suddenly raising her head, the witch looked at the sky, and saw that the day had turned into eternal night at some point. The mysterious and ethereal full moon hung in the sky. The moonlight did not appear soft, but was unusually deserted, as if it did not exist.
Any temperature can also eliminate the heat of the world.
"This kind of power..."
The witch also looked a little surprised.
Although she didn't go out and see the still city, everything in the forest behind the shrine stopped. For her keen and powerful spiritual sense, it was naturally not difficult to detect.
"The second impact... ah, no, it's the "Mirror's method of stopping water"." Gu Mo looked at the falling eternal night and said calmly in a voice without any confusion, "Cooperate with her mirror in the dream city."
Only with a treasure like Heaven's Feather Clothes can you cast a spell to stop time and dominate the world on earth."
"..."
Kikyo glanced at him, then frowned and looked not far away.
On the tree over there, there are several little birds standing on the branches. They were probably frightened by the evil spirit of the nine-tailed fox just now, and they didn't dare to fly away in time. They didn't make any moves now...
It's not that his body was frozen in fear and he didn't dare to move, but that he completely lost any vitality.
Not life, not a corpse.
It was like turning into stone all of a sudden.
The miko withdrew her gaze, turned around and walked out of the forest. Gu Mo followed her casually. The two of them quickly walked out of the back mountain and came to the torii gate. They stood here again and stared at the outline of the city in the distance.
The rising black smoke and fire were frozen in the air. The streets below were shouting in panic because of the previous commotion. The running people maintained their last movements, like sculptures full of tension. The expressions on their faces
The expressions and eyes are all lifelike.
Of course, they are actually all living people...
Not killed, but time stopped.
It's just that this kind of spell is too outrageous, with such a terrifying effect and such a huge scope. If the whole world stays in this eternal night, then there will be no difference between these people and being killed... because
There will be no future to speak of, and history will no longer be created.
The mirror stops water, time stops, and everything in the world is destroyed.
Kikyo's autumn-like eyes looked at the monster next to her, and found that the other person didn't seem surprised.
But in such a static world, only oneself and the other party can continue to act... This person should be unaffected because he comes from a time period that does not belong to this era, and it seems that he is also for this reason, but in fact
superior--
It's more because I am actually a dead person...
Time has stopped long ago...
A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of the miko's mouth, and she raised her eyes in a daze to look at the obviously abnormal full moon in the sky again. Although it was the first time for her to see the "Mirror Shisui Technique", she also saw it after coming into contact with it.
Naturally, you can understand more things.
After all, everything can be understood through analogies, and all the theories and theories have different paths to reach the same destination.
But it was precisely because she understood it that she felt deeply... She was a miko who could not leave the world. No, this was not entirely correct. She was a miko in life, but now she has a false and cursed body.
No matter what she did, she still couldn't escape this fate.
"Life is also death, death is also life..."
As she murmured softly, a trace of sadness flashed in the witch's eyes.
"..."
Gu Mo was silent beside him, and he probably understood what Kikyo was thinking, but in this case, he didn't know how to persuade the other party. After all, no matter what he said, there was always a feeling that standing and talking would not hurt his back. He
The only thing you can do at this moment is to stay quiet and give Kikyo enough time.
I wonder if the panacea will work...
Although it is a copied version, it only has about 30% of the effect of the original version, but it is still very amazing... Moreover, the quality is not enough, so there is a way to make up the quantity.
It's just that the miko's current problem is actually, strictly speaking, not an injury at all, but a state she has been in since her resurrection... So it is very likely that the panacea will not have the desired effect. After all, the essential purpose of the medicine is
Let the user return to their original state.
But what if the user himself is in such a state?
This was the problem. He thought about it seriously and thought that maybe he could find an opportunity to try it first. If it didn't work, it wouldn't be too late to think of other ways...
"...Where did you say that Shen Jiuye's lair was?"
The witch's cold voice sounded, and there seemed to be no special fluctuations in her calm words. She looked at Gu Mo, there were no emotional fluctuations in her eyes, and the sadness deep in her eyes had been well restrained.
"...It's probably over the Fuji Five Lakes. I don't remember the exact location very clearly."
Gu Mo rubbed his eyebrows and replied thoughtfully. After all, it was a relatively long time ago, and the impression was naturally a lot blurred. He still thought of the relationship between Shen Jiuye and the five treasures based on the legend of "The Tale of Bamboo Cutter".
Only then did I remember the positioning of Fuji Five Lakes.
The five treasures: Dragon Head Jade, Penglai Jade Branch, Stone Bowl in Front of the Buddha, Yan's Son Anbei and Fire Rat Fur, respectively correspond to the five lakes...
This should be the case. In addition, it seems that the goddess Hagoromo can also be sent to Mount Fuji for destruction, so everything is inseparable from the surrounding area of Mount Fuji. Kamikyuya's base camp should also be within this range... I just don't know.
Where specifically.
Of course, just look in that direction anyway.
"Then let's go over now..." The witch nodded lightly and said calmly. Although the arrival of this eternal night shows that Kamijiu Ye is indeed very scary, some things still have to be done. They are probably the only ones in this world.
The two of them were able to function normally.
If they don't solve this problem, who can they expect?
Maybe Higurashi Kagome did go back five hundred years to call for help, but Kikyo was not the kind of person who was used to placing her hopes on others, so she was naturally ready to take action.
"Are you going now..." Gu Mo nodded obediently, and then couldn't help but ask: "By the way, Kikyo, did you have anything to say before?"
"..."
"..."
The witch turned her head to look in the distance. When she heard this, she paused slightly. She gently raised her hand to stroke the hanging hair beside her ears, and said softly: "I hope you can give up your idea... You haven't
I can’t bear to have to do this to this extent..."
She didn't even look back, she just turned her back to him.
"I know this. I'm no longer interested in the Four Souls Jade..." Gu Mo naturally nodded at this, as if he listened to it all at once, saying this without any hesitation and very decisively.
Kikyo still didn't look back, but sighed slightly silently.
This is obviously not what I said...
However, she also had an inexplicable feeling in her heart... She wanted to make it clear to the other person, and was mentally prepared for the possibility of parting ways, but this person chose not to respond directly, just like before.
It was ironic, but it made people understand it all at once.
"hope so……"
He said softly.
