Chapter 633 Kiana, Hug Me
Tick-tick-tick-
The blood flowed quietly, flowing from the fingertips to the back of the hand and the palm, then to the wrist, and finally across the forearm, until the turning point of the elbow fell helplessly under the pull of gravity.
Tick-tick-
Kiana didn't even notice the abnormality at the first time. She was still thinking about the possibility of another future that Xilin imagined in the conscious world, and... the reason why Xilin showed it to her.
She knew that Xilin held her hand, but the vigilance that followed was only for things like [Will she suddenly cut off my hand]?
Then, she felt her fingertips touching a hard and cold barrier.
The barrier was not thick, just like an eggshell, giving people a feeling of breaking with a poke. She was about to turn her eyes to see what it was, and she felt Xilin holding her hands harder, as if confirming something, and hesitated for less than 0.1 second.
Then, she grabbed Kiana's wrist and pulled it hard. The "eggshell"-like thing shattered in an instant. Kiana's fingers were scratched by something, but the warm and sticky liquid quickly relieved the pain, but...
The thing wrapped around the fingers was swelling and shrinking at a speed of about twice per second.
Tick-tick-tick-
Kiana soon understood what it was.
"Xi...Xilin? You..."
Blood overflowed from the corner of Xilin's mouth, slid to her chin, and dripped onto Kiana's wrist, and finally fell quietly to the ground.
She looked at Kiana and smiled.
"Don't you understand yet? Really, it can't be that because I am a fool, you, as the existence of [another me], are also so stupid... cough cough cough!"
Blood foam splashed on Kiana's cheek, but she didn't dare to move at all, for fear that any movement would tear Xilin's hands, but Xilin held her wrist tightly, so tightly that blood could not circulate, and Kiana's whole hand was numb until she almost lost consciousness. But she knew that Sirin would be in more pain than her.
The next moment, Sirin pulled Kiana's hand out of her chest.
Blood plasma gushed out like a water ball, and in the blink of an eye, Kiana's entire body was dyed red.
However, compared to the cool and refreshing feeling, you can still feel some sweet water after sip your lips, but it is fishy, hot and sticky blood.
I can't breathe anymore, and I don't know what to say. Confusion, incomprehension, sadness... and so on and so forth are like countless cars pouring into the narrow road of my heart, and then "bang bang bang bang" they all crashed into each other and smashed into pieces.
The outline is completely deformed, and the parts are mixed together, and they can't even be distinguished from each other.
At this moment, Xilin, whose face muscles were twitching due to pain, raised her hands tremblingly and inserted her ten fingers into the bloody hole in her chest, apparently trying to tear the hole open, but she took a breath of cold air because of the pain, and then explained with a quick breath:
"Didn't Raiden Mei say that if you want your power not to be dominated by the weaklings of the Tenth Herrscher, there is only one way - to become a Herrscher after metamorphosis. Although that guy and Dr. Mei are like a riddle man, and have not yet explained clearly how to [metamorphosis], but looking at her, she probably said goodbye to the so-called [Hershers personality]."
"This...what does this have to do with us?"
"Of course it has something to do with it... Ahem! If the condition for [metamorphosis] is to kill the so-called Herrscher personality and thus fully master the power of the Herrscher, then it is indeed worth a try. Who made you, a fool, still think about seeking revenge on the Tenth Herrscher at this time? If you are not allowed to metamorphose, you will not be able to face the Tenth Herrscher, right?"
An unexpected, but reasonable answer.
Kiana was very relieved. At this point, at least at this moment, her past self finally recognized herself, and Xilin finally became a partner.
But where should the sorrow be placed?
"Come on, take the power away quickly."
Xilin once again put her ten fingers into the blood hole on her chest. Every muscle in her body was tense and trembling at this moment. Then she exerted force with both hands, and her body was almost torn in half along the long blood hole. A gem was quietly embedded in the flesh and blood. The blood pollution made it difficult to see the original color of the gem. So Xilin touched the surface of the gem with her bloody fingertips, and a little golden light came out from the thin blood.
Kiana took a deep breath, tried to suppress the urge to vomit brought by the smell of blood, and then raised her arm and aimed her trembling fingertips at the gem.
The fingertips moved forward horizontally, one second, two seconds, three seconds... I don't know when it started, Kiana has held her breath, she raised her other hand, held the wrist of the first hand, and slowly pushed it forward.
It was only 20 to 30 centimeters away, but Kiana took almost two minutes to get her fingertips close to Xilin's chest.
However, the fingertips also stopped at that position, no longer moving forward, but the tiny tremor became more and more intense.
In Xilin's puzzled and angry eyes, Kiana took her hand back again.
"You... cough cough! What the hell are you doing?"
"I... can't do it."
Xilin took a breath in anger, and then let go of the hand that was pulling the edge of the wound, and was about to take out the core herself.
However, as soon as her fingers touched the wound, the pain made all her muscles weak. Not to mention taking out the core embedded in flesh and blood, even something as simple as clenching a fist could not be done.
"Is it true that as long as I don't take out the core, you won't die?"
Seeing Xilin's painful look, Kiana raised her hand again and put her hand down again.
"Why are you still talking about this now?"
Siren forced while vomiting blood.
"What are you still hesitating about? Didn't you clamor to kill me a long time ago? Why can't you do it when the situation comes? What is in your mind? Flour and water?"
The pain gradually numbed and got used to it, also because of the effect of the quiet gem that had been hidden deep in the body. Even though Sirin's subjective will is resisting repair, heat is constantly coming out of the wound, the blood is coagulating, and the flesh is reorganized. I'm afraid it won't be long before all these injuries are restored, and then the core will be handed over to Kiana. , I have to suffer again...***!
Besides, what on earth is this guy hesitating about?
Siren couldn't understand, not at all.
She only felt angry in her heart, not that she had been betrayed, nor that she had been abused, but that she felt that it was not easy for her to have such a chance... like Cecilia, she gave her life for something that was not hers, but was beaten by another person. rejected by myself.
"Kiana, have you forgotten? You haven't forgotten, have you? I am the Herrscher, I am the apostle of the gods. The real Sirin in your eyes died seventeen years ago. Now I am He is just a simple Herrscher who has committed countless crimes and killed countless people. Kill me and take away the power of the Herrscher of the Sky. Not only will you have the power to avenge Jizi, but you will also be able to take away the power that belongs to Him. [Xilin]’s sins will all be settled, and then…”
As she spoke, her tone softened without realizing it. It no longer sounded like scolding and persecution, but rather a persuasion that she thought was full of temptation:
"Then, you can become the real [Kiana]. You are no longer Sirin, and you can live as Kiana as you like. Isn't this good? Why refuse?"
"Because...because..."
Kiana opened her mouth dejectedly, hesitated for a while, and finally gave an answer that Sirin had not expected at all.
The tears that filled his eyes did not flow out, but were forced down.
In just two or three seconds, Kiana's expression changed from sadness to anger:
"It's not because of you idiot!"
She suddenly sat up on her knees and pressed Xilin's shoulders hard. Then in her excited voice, tears came out of the corners of her eyes:
"That's not the way to go if you don't want to live! What are you doing, Siren! Show me your past memories, show me your desired future, and then act like you want to be my companion. In the end, you asked me to kill you... How could I do such a thing? You might as well not tell me anything and just fight with me... What on earth are you thinking about? Lin!"
The wounds on the skin were almost healed, but of course, the pain under the skin and in the heart would take longer to relieve.
Seeing Kiana's constant tears, Sirin suddenly felt that the anger had dissipated, and only happiness remained in her heart.
Seventeen years have passed, and she can still meet someone who will be sad for her.
Although this person is actually [another her], it is better than nothing.
What if - why what if again... forget it.
If I choose to bury everything in my heart and bear it alone, just like Kiana said, have a good fight with her, lose to her at the last moment, and then dissipate, then things should go smoothly. .
After all, Kiana is just a paramecium with no brains. As long as she never shows her weakness to her, she will not sympathize with her, and she will not let her originally jealous self hesitate to settle her sins.
It is precisely because she is a paramecium with no brains, so as long as she sees her own sadness, sees her own regrets, and allows her to understand herself in a certain sense, things will become as messy as they are now. .
Why on earth did you tell her those things?
Can't help it? I'm afraid I really can't bear it anymore.
Siren gradually realized that her seemingly illogical behavior was actually just the body's instinct transcending subjectivity and unconsciously sending a "help" signal to Kiana.
When in danger, people will always subconsciously ask for help from their surroundings. It's not about reason, it's about instinct. Just like a drowning person clinging to his rescuer...
She showed everything about herself to Kiana, but in fact she was just repeating "Help me".
And that idiot Kiana... Why is this guy so stupid and stupid in other things, but he becomes so smart at such a critical moment!
Wouldn't it be better to be a little confused?
The happiness in my heart quickly turned into helplessness, but we have reached this point and there is no other way to go.
Xilin's tone returned to the original disdain:
"You are really stupid. Although I have read few books, I know that people who can't give up anything can't do anything. If you want to avenge Jizi, you need to become a Herrscher of Feathers. If you want to become a Herrscher of Feathers, I must leave. Of course, if you want me to stay, it is not impossible. As long as you are willing to give up the obsession of revenge for Jizi, and even give up the desire to save the world with the power of the Herrscher of the Void, you can let me stay. How about it, is this a difficult decision for you?"
Xilin seemed to want to use a more bad tone and attitude to stimulate Kiana, so that she would realize that she was just a Herrscher with a lot of evil and crimes.
But the words and tone of the past could not be said at this moment, and in the end, she only imitated half of it.
"No... I think... there must be other ways... Surely, don't we have other Herrscher cores? The Desire Gem, the Tranquility Gem, and the Plague Gem that was just recovered... I can become another Herrscher, and other powers can also become a Herrscher of Transfiguration, right?"
"But you don't know how to do it, and I don't know either. What's more, even if I have multiple Herrscher cores, I can only exert a small amount of power in each core. Even if you rely on other Herrscher cores to transform, you will need to spend more time to master the power, just like you have done in the past six months."
Xilin snorted several times in a row, shook her head, and continued to add:
"If it is the Plague Gem, perhaps your method does have the possibility of success, because that core is a little special to you, and the Flame Power of the Plague Gem represents the ultimate destruction and power, and it doesn't take much skill to use it. But unfortunately, the Herrscher only gave me one. It's just a fake. "
"Fake?"
"What else. If you were that guy, a weak guy who only knows how to scheme against others, would you feel comfortable putting the powerful power of the Plague Gem in the hands of someone who is very likely to become an enemy? Don't forget that guy controls the power of reason and has the ability to split the core. He uses the power of reason to expand the volume of a [Thousand Herrscher] core to the level of a normal Herrscher core, and then fills it with Houkai energy, and finally paints it with the color of the Plague Gem. For someone like you who has never used it, it can naturally be fooled, but as for me... hehe, as soon as I got it in my hand, I realized that the output power of the core was not right, and only a fool like you would be fooled. "
"..."
"What do you think? It's been so long, you should make up your mind, right? When it's time to act, you should act decisively, don't let me look down on you, Kiana. "
Xilin supported the cold ground with both hands and slowly clenched them into fists, and then buckled them into her chest again, tearing her body apart.
But Kiana remained silent, silent. Just before Silin sighed helplessly again, she suddenly leaned forward and hugged Silin.
"That man once said that for the past self, either kill it or embrace it. But I want to embrace you more than killing you, Silin."
The pain seemed to disappear at this moment, but Silin's lips were still trembling. Whether the emotion contained in it was touching or fear of death, at least that was not something Kiana could know.
"Xilin, maybe you are right, I am a simple-minded paramecium. I am always so irrational, but I did see it, I saw everything in your past, I saw the pain you suffered, I will not approve of what you did in the past, but I think that the warmth you still remember, your yearning for another future, these beautiful emotions are by no means false. There is no way, I just saw these. So I will not leave you alone. After all, I am also a part of you, right?"
"You...what do you want to do!"
"I said that I want to hug you, not kill you. Whether it is for revenge or to save the world, I must metamorphose, but if the requirement for metamorphosis is your disappearance, then at least, I want to decide the form of this disappearance-I will not kill you, I will not become a brand new self by denying the past you. I want to accept you, I want to accept everything about you in the embrace, let you become a part of me, after all, you and I are both a part of the real Xilin."
The pain in her heart really stopped, and Kiana in turn mobilized the power of the Serenity Gem to repair her wounds.
As the two consciousnesses came into contact, their figures gradually overlapped, and their consciousnesses felt the same warmth from each other.
They had been together since birth, and now, no matter whether it was the best choice or not, it was at least the right choice in Kiana's heart.
It was just that at the last moment, the fusion finally stagnated.
That was the last confusion and resistance of the other side of Sirin:
"But...if you don't kill me, how can Sirin pay for the sins she has committed?"
Kiana's gentle smile came from the pure white space.
"If a person only kills one person, then one life for one life is the most normal thing. But if it causes such serious harm to the whole world, isn't it a relief to die?
"So, I will use my own way to truly atone for Siren's sins. And the first step of atonement starts with killing the Tenth Herrscher and saving the world. And in this process, you must be with me. Together, because we are all Xilin, you can't just leave me to make atonement alone in order to escape, do you understand?"
Xilin opened her mouth, but she really had nothing to say.
Then the slightly parted lips pursed slightly and turned into a smile.
"It's really...there's nothing we can do about you. That's settled, by the way, Kiana..."
"What?"
"Thank you for your hug... In Xilin's memory, you are the third person who took the initiative to give her such a warm hug."
Kiana did not answer, but smiled and hugged Sirin's thin body tighter. Then the two people's figures quickly overlapped. With the golden light, Kiana was the only one left in the middle of the theater.
"call……"
He breathed a long sigh of relief, his body was extremely tired, his eyes were a little sore, but he could still fight.
She took out a hair tie, lifted up her long snow-white hair, and tied it into a very simple high ponytail.
The double-layered imaginary number barrier inside and outside is rapidly disintegrating, and everything that belongs to reality is coming again.
Kiana closed her eyes and stretched her right hand into the void beside her. The process of opening the space rift was accompanied by an unprecedented feeling like using her arms to move her fingers.
So, she pulled out a fiery red broken sword from the rift in space.
