At night. There was the sound of knocking on the glass window. I pushed open the curtains and looked out of the dark window. The water vapor that condensed on the glass window looked like silver pearls, shining against the night sky.
Not rain, but hail? And Dong Shilang still hasn't returned home…Thinking of this, I picked up my umbrella, pushed open the window, and jumped out.
As they sped forward, the raindrops mixed with ice shards formed silver lines in their vision, like cold arrows streaking across their faces. I could hear the sound of blades piercing into flesh and the sound of bones and tendons being cut. It was mixed with the heavy sound of raindrops falling to the ground. Under the deep night sky, it was happening somewhere not far away.
The stench of blood was getting stronger and stronger. I turned the corner, where the little man was shaking the blood off his blade and sheathing it. A cold clang sounded in the murky rain, like a command to announce the end of the battle.
Noticing the newcomer, Dong Shi Lang turned around. His silver fur and long sword that had been unsheathed once again flashed brightly under the moonlight.
"It's me." I smiled and waved my umbrella." I'm here to take you home."”
"Idiot, spirit bodies won't get wet or catch a cold.”He walked towards me while putting away his knife.
I held his cold hand.”
Dong Shilang's dry black coat was covered in a layer of silver light, as if raindrops were avoiding his body. Or rather, it was as if his body and the surrounding environment did not exist in the same world.
Ever since I saw the existence of the Yihun pill, he never gave me any explanation, and I didn't ask anything. If we were to ask whether this subtle silence had caused any trouble for our daily interactions, the answer was no. Because we almost couldn't find a chance to meet each other these days.
" Are you very busy? Mission?" I opened the umbrella over his head. It wasn't to block the rain, but a disguise to make our dry bodies look more convincing.
After walking for a while, he whispered,""Ah, recently…"
According to Yu Long, from the day he met me until now, the number of Xus he met not only increased greatly, but also became more cunning. "Dong Shilang, can you tell me what a void is?" I asked.”
Yulong didn't tell me the origin of this monster, and the moment I saw it, I instinctively thought that it was an existence that needed to be destroyed, so I didn't delve into it.
Hearing this question, Dong Shilang was stunned. A hint of absent-mindedness appeared in his emerald green eyes, as if he was reminiscing about something.
Although he looked emotional, his voice was as calm as ever."It's called the Void. It's another existence that was mutated after the human soul fell.”
"That is to say, they were originally…humans like us?”Thinking of the bloody scene just now, I felt a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, I am." A complicated look flashed across his young but handsome face." It's no different from killing people.”
I felt a chill in my heart and turned to look at him.
" It was a one-track-minded idiot who taught me that idea." The corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile." Originally, I only needed to know that the Void is an existence that destroys the world and an enemy that must be destroyed.'”
Guessing who he was referring to, I lowered my head.
When teaching children, he would tell them the truth about the gray side of the world. Was he that kind of guy in the past?
"Confused?" I whispered in the pitter-patter of the rain.
He shook his head.
"Is the burden very heavy?"
" No," Dong Shilang answered quickly and firmly." It's good.”
Through his determined expression, I saw a desire for responsibility and the determination to take responsibility. I remember now. I had great expectations for him. It seemed that it was because…I saw my own shadow in him.
By himself??" Duty?" Something that suddenly occurred to me made me look at Toshiro. He was very abnormal today. At this moment, as if sensing my doubts, Toshiro whispered,"Let's talk about it when we get back."
The first thing he did when he entered the house was to pour out the hot chocolate from the thermos. Taking the warm cup, Dong Shilang covered his cold hand and sat on the sofa. I leaned against the back of the sofa and asked with a smile,"You changed into a sacrificial skeleton so quickly?"
He gulped down the hot chocolate in silence.
After looking at him quietly for a while, I continued,"Dong Shi Lang, aren't we all the Grim Reaper? We didn't live in this 'main world', did we?”
He ignored my question.
It was as if he had something to say, but he refused to communicate with me. This made me frustrated.
"You didn't plan to hide the truth from me just now, did you?”I narrowed my eyes dangerously.
Dong Shi Lang still did not say a word.
Since he couldn't hide it anymore, he might as well keep silent? I'll take it that you're tacitly agreeing!
"What about me? What am I? "They say that they are the Grim Reaper, but they don't have spiritual pressure. They say that they are human, but they have some monster-like abilities…" The suspicions that had accumulated over the past few days began to surface endlessly.
Even as a creature, I did not seem to qualify. My existence was incomplete, and without the past, the proof of anything's existence, I was less than a ghost. Ichigo thinks I'm a ghost, he's overestimating me.
" This body of mine," he clenched his fingers," is also a sacrificial skeleton?”He could feel the pain of his nails piercing into his muscles, but was this feeling really reliable?
As if he was stabbed by my sharp emotions, Dong Shilang turned his head and faced me with the back of his head. Looking at his stubbornly pursed lips, my voice became colder and colder.
"Are my memories of myself…the memories of my soul, or the memories of this body?”
"…Why would you think that?" "Are you doubting your feelings?" he asked, looking at me in surprise.”
His clear eyes caused my emotions that had reached a critical point to suddenly surge out of the limit.
"What do you want me to believe?" I suddenly leaned over, and he was forced to lie down on the sofa by my imposing manner. In his shock, the glass fell from his hand and fell to the floor.
" My name is fake, my identity is fake, and our relationship is fake. Perhaps everything I see and touch is actually something else-"
It was as if I was living in a complete lie. Everything was ambiguous and everyone's attitude was ambiguous.
" I dreamt of my past self.'I' looked like someone else." I put my hands on his head and stared into his eyes inquisitively. If I see even the slightest disappointment in his eyes, I think I'll definitely lose control.
Lava was boiling in my veins, and my entire body was roaring with battle intent. However, I had lost the target of my efforts, and my anger could only be directed at myself. Yes, I admit defeat to the noble girl in my memories…Where did my glory and dreams go?
" Why am I like this now…Is my battle a self-struggle…"
"That's right." Dong Shilang suddenly grinned. He seemed to be mocking and encouraging me, but he looked at me without hesitation. He didn't look at anyone else through me, which made me feel like I was saved.
" From the past to the present…" Dong Shi Lang continued,""The only thing you need to surpass is yourself.”
This awkward little brat actually said something so certain about me…Seeing my stunned expression, Dong Shilang snorted and turned his face away, saying gloomily,"It really doesn't sound like me, does it?”After letting out a huge sigh, he reached out and pushed my shoulder.
At this moment, I realized that I was kneeling on one knee between his legs, pressing down on his hand, forming an ambiguous position of being pushed down. She quickly stood up, her face red. However, when she glanced at him from the corner of her eye, he did not have any reaction and had a solemn expression. What was he thinking all night? Was there something that was so difficult to say?
I poured a new cup of hot chocolate and gently placed the warm glass on the coffee table. When she turned around to pick up the broken glass on the ground-
"Aren't you very energetic?" Dong Shilang's voice came from behind.
"…Then, I should go back.”
