"Weeping son is the purest cloud floating over the mountain top. When pollution comes, Fengjin's sleeping subconscious separates him."
In front of Qing Keisuke, there is a lake shrouded in mist. On the lakeside, there are several natural stone benches.
At this time, a woman in green clothes was sitting on the stone bench, speaking with her back to him.
"Welcome, Aoi Keisuke."
Qing Keisuke looked around, but did not answer. This place was no longer in the dream. After he learned the truth of the dream in advance, he had obtained the qualification to pass the customs, so he returned to the Pure Domain and went deeper into the dream.
But the question is - in the pure realm of Daze Mountain, is there any place that has not been infected by the curse?
"Who are you?"
Qing Keisuke walked forward and came to the woman's side.
The woman's face wears a wooden mask, depicting a spring scene from the past.
"I am the fastest ray of wind in the mountains. I left my last consciousness in the collapse. You can call me 'Maple Leaf'."
The sound of maple leaves is light and warm, just like the gurgling spring water in spring, which reminds people of the image of small fish roaming in the transparent stream.
She nodded gently to Keisuke Aoi, smiled gently, and invited him to sit down with her.
"The crazy thing is the mountain. In the end, it takes the initiative to carry everything. His name is 'Daze'."
Osawa, Maple Leaf, and Weizi are all part of Fengjin God. The purest spirituality that this mountain can gather is all condensed in that big lake hidden in the world.
"So that's it." Qing Keisuke looked around the maple leaves, finally sat down next to her, and said to himself: "Toyotsu God himself took the initiative to divide his consciousness into three parts of you. No wonder the resistance to pollution is so weak.
.”
"Yes, he is really lonely." Maple Leaf also nodded and admitted.
"Then he fell into a deep sleep because of this?" Qing Keisuke asked with interest.
"it's not true."
However, Maple Leaf denied Aoi Keisuke's speculation, and instead mentioned a word that the Demon King had never heard of before. She asked, "Do you know?"
"what is that?"
"You are so powerful, but you don't know anything about it?" Maple Leaf also looked very surprised.
Qing Keisuke spread his hands.
"The blood of gods is not the blood that the gods themselves have refined, but the blood that must be relied upon to support them if they want to become gods."
Upon seeing this, Maple Leaf told him the secrets that only belong to gods without hesitation: "At that time, Fengjin accidentally got the second drop of god's blood."
Qing Keisuke understood what she wanted to express and continued to ask: "So, what exactly is the blood of God?"
"I have no idea."
Maple Leaf shook his head: "All I can understand is the meaning of 'Blood of God'."
Qing Keisuke frowned when he heard this, but still motioned Maple Leaf to continue.
"The blood of God is one of the most important cores of the gods. The more blood, the stronger the power and the more respected the god.
But Fengjin did not absorb this drop of blood. Instead, he wanted to use it to create a god again...
From me, Daze and Weizi."
——This is the truth behind the fact that Toyotsu God fell into a deep sleep.
The disaster that was finally brewed because of a drop of God's blood was recounted in Maple Leaf's mouth, so much so that it seemed a bit ridiculous.
At the same time, the extremely strong desire to explore hit Qing Keisuke's heart, and the secret represented by the blood of God held him tightly - he was extremely close to the real part of this world!
"There is no doubt that Toyotsu failed.
He even created a disaster with his own hands."
When Maple Leaf expressed his conclusion, he did so without any emotion and was surprisingly indifferent.
"After the destruction, Daze Mountain was explored twice, and Fengjin's corpse and the blood of God were all looted, of course... only a drop of it.
The last drop of blood was placed in the deepest part of the pure realm, supporting all the phenomena inside.
They thought they had taken away everything, and because the Pure Realm refused to visit, I was able to exist until now."
The maple leaves stood up and floated into the lake. They stepped lightly on top of the lake water, and their sleeves flew up, dancing like the wind.
"Qing Keisuke, you were chosen by Osawa.
So please end this."
"But, since there is still blood of God in the Pure Realm, why don't you become a god yourself and sweep away all this?"
Maple Leaf, which was born out of Toyotsu God, obviously has this qualification.
The maple leaves stopped dancing, and the mask on their faces suddenly became "sad". The pattering rain wet the spring scenery, leaving fallen petals all over the ground.
She said slowly: "Which dead person would be willing to kiss the knife that killed him?"
The maple leaves danced for the last time, and the blue and cold clothes turned into a fiery red. She sang:
"When the wind is no longer light,
When the clouds are no longer free,
When the mountains are no longer thick,
The tragedy has already begun,
The spring scenery of the past,
Never again!
Never again!"
Until finally, she turned into a few fiery red maple leaves, flew into the sky and disappeared.
Aoi Keisuke stood there for a long time, recalling the dancing maple leaves. Suddenly, he thought of Yui Kamaba who was far away in Tokyo.
In the dance between the two, who is better?
…
Hoshino Fujiko and Ozawa Sonoko finally escaped from Ozawa Village. They were panting violently, and their panic consumed more of their energy.
Especially Hoshino Fujiko, who has been feeling more and more tired because her nerves have been tense.
But she was very clear about the area swept by the flood, and knew that it was not the time to rest yet. No matter how much power Weiko could burst out or how long the delay was, she still believed in Qing Keisuke's warning that "everything is irreversible."
"Yuanzi, keep running, don't stop."
"But...but..."
In the space of a few breaths, the thick and suffocating heavy rain poured down, making the dark mountain forest look increasingly strange and terrifying.
"run!"
Fujiko Hoshino took out a waterproof flashlight from her bag and rushed Ozawa Sonoko into the forest.
But the flashlights of this era can only illuminate a few meters at most. After it rains, they can only tell whether the place they are stepping on is safe.
Hoshino and Ozawa Sonoko fell down several times before finally finding the skills to move forward in the muddy mountains.
"Let's go around in a circle first and then walk back to the village and down the mountain."
Hoshino judged that it was no longer realistic to run straight to the safe zone. She and Ozawa Sonoko did not have that ability, so they could only use a repaired mountain road to leave.
The only thing that comforted her was that although Ozawa Sonoko was tired and scared, she never complained about herself.
"A flash flood is coming soon, we have to run quickly."
"Are we going to die?"
"Won't!"
Hoshino said categorically: "I will take you away!"
They trudged hard in the darkness, their clothes were soaked by the rain, torn by branches, and their bodies were covered with mud and scars, but they never let go of the hands they held.
Finally, they returned to the mountain road going down the mountain and could speed up!
At this time, a violent roar came from the darkness in the distance——
Fengjin Lake, which holds an astonishing amount of water, has completely burst its banks!
Mixed with the wails and screams of countless curses, a disaster came that eroded the roots of the mountain.
The mud carried the uprooted trees and poured downwards.
"who?"
"elder brother?"
"Is it... you?"
The three Ozawa brothers and sisters, as well as several young people following Takuto Ozawa, met each other on the mountain road - they were also preparing to escape down the mountain.
"Are you okay?" Ozawa Takuto's expression of surprise seemed a little distorted.
"Get away!"
Hoshino did not hesitate to take out the last fish-killing knife in his bag, and with a lunge, he waved it randomly and forced all the people away, without any intention of leaving with them.
——These are all.
Behind everyone, the flood swallows everyone equally, tolerates all sins equally, and destroys them.
"Brother...what should I do?"
"He is not a family member." At this moment, Hoshino Fujiko returned to his former coldness.
She pulled Ozawa Sonoko and ran down stubbornly, like two fragile dandelions hiding from the waves, about to be swallowed up in the violent storm.
"Rumble--"
The two people fell down in the violent shock. Looking back, they saw the frenzy that swept everything.
"smoke!"
Ozawa Sonoko shouted in despair.
"do not be afraid!"
At the last moment, Ozawa Sonoko tried to block Hoshino, but fell hard again.
Then, a white umbrella swayed down from the sky and fell into Hoshino Fujiko's hand.
"boom--!"
A bright white light suddenly lit up.
As a result, the mighty torrent suddenly stopped in front of her.
