Chapter 89 Ending
Orange is the middle and low frequency part of visible light, the frequency is 480~510THz, and the corresponding wavelength in the air is 625~590nm.An intermediate color between red and yellow.It is the warmest color in the warm color family. *
It is the color of tropical fruits, the color of lanterns, and the color of candlelight.
It is also a color familiar to people in Yokohama.In every clear dusk, dot the sky, smudge the clouds, pour on the sea, and then, dye the whole city, smear the color on every street and window.
But approximately, no one could have imagined such an orange color before witnessing it.
Like a stream of water, the torrent of brilliant orange light enveloped the [world] in an instant, blocking the pale and thin hand that the girl stretched out towards it.
The girl's expression changed suddenly, she opened her mouth wide, and she probably let out a scream—from Dazai Osamu's perspective, she could even see her huge sharp canine teeth, which had completely deviated from human cognition.But no sound reached his ears.The rich but non-glare orange wraps and permeates everything around him.Those orange lights that cannot be explained by physics flowed on his skin and hair.He, or rather, this [world], is like a piece of warm amber, soaked in the orange sea water warmed by the setting sun.
Then, through the sea water, he saw a slender white hand protruding from the strong and bright orange light, ignoring all distances and boundaries, as if piercing the tip of a tofu knife, deeply inserted into the girl's chest .
The girl's face was completely distorted.No, not just the face, like a damp sugar tower or a shattered porcelain statue, the girl began to crack from the wound on her chest.Like a jigsaw puzzle broken up, large and small pieces scattered from her body, and then quickly disintegrated and melted into the orange light.
It's as if—no, it's not as if, she is indeed being divided and devoured by the light, gradually engulfing her.
The girl seemed to be struggling, but to no avail.That is, no chains and no ropes.But she seemed to be firmly bound and imprisoned by an invisible force, unable to move at all, and could only grow her mouth in vain.It might be a curse, or it might be a howl.However, the orange light blocked all sounds from Dazai Osamu's perception.He just looked at that hand as if watching a mime, that hand protruding from the orange light, crushing and devouring the girl bit by bit with an irresistible powerful posture. In the sea of light.
It is hard to imagine that the existence that destroyed a world is actually extremely fragile at this moment.And as the girl broke apart, the weird and distorted reflection behind her was constantly fading away.
Then, extremely abruptly, but it seemed natural, at the moment when the reflection completely disappeared, a violent vibration and roar came from the inside of the [object] under Dazai Osamu's feet, which should be the corpse of the planet.
[So, what should I do? 】
[As long as you want to do it, you will naturally know what to do. 】The silver-haired old man replied, 【For you, saving this world is extremely simple. 】
indeed so.
When the last "fragment" was engulfed by orange light, Alice "blinked" her eyes and looked at the [world] surrounded by [self].
At this moment, the pale and broken glass ball was soaking in her light.Compared to her now, [The World] looks so small and fragile, like a small amber lying on the shallows when the tide is low.The orange sea water warmed by the setting sun soaked it, and the surging tidal currents were stroking its surface over and over again.
However, unlike the real sea water that will wear away the amber, her light is penetrating it, [melting] everything together at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Indeed, it is a very simple matter.
Because her [Origin] is [Fusion].As the highest authority directly connected to [root].Even when she has not awakened [Origin], she can use this ability as a supernatural ability, and as long as she fully opens herself and truly awakens [Origin], she can [Integrate] all existence.
Everything in everything, to the sky and to the extreme. The word "everything in everything" itself means everything in the universe.Luisa—or the huge doll shaped by the girl's obsession and the power of the evil god is of course included in "Everything in the World".
Even the [book] in Alice's own body and the [book] that Louisa once held are now [fused] into her light.
The concept of Xingyue killing is so unreasonable.
It's just that all powerful powers and concepts are accompanied by huge costs.The personality accumulated by human beings for decades cannot compete with [Origin]. [Origin] will completely cover the personality as an individual, and as the "thing that fell from another world" in the mouth of the jeweler, she has a deeper degree of alienation than the few in the sky. Human form cannot be maintained.
Just like now.
Rather, to be able to retain "thinking" and "feeling" at this moment is already an extraordinary talent as a "savior"?
However, even she couldn't last long.As if there was a countdown in her body, Alice could clearly feel that she would be "extinguished" in the near future.
In human parlance, she was about to die.
However, this time is enough for her to finish everything.
In the light, Alice "blinked her eyes" again, and her white and slender arm, which was ridiculously big compared to [World], reached into the light, and then grabbed a certain book-shaped light spot.
She laughed.
Now, let's start the last [reset] of this [world].
There was the sound of the tide.
First the sense of hearing, then the sense of smell.When Osamu Dazai realized that he had lost consciousness for a while, his five senses quickly captured the surrounding information.
It is the sea.
The sound of waves caressing the fine sand, the sound of the tide hitting the rocks, and the sound of seagulls circling and chirping.The air is flowing, and the breath is moist and salty, which is unique to the ebb tide.There was a bright light outside the closed eyelids, his eyelashes trembled twice, and when he was about to open his eyes, there was a sudden warmth from behind that was close to his clothes and reached his skin.
All the muscles in his body were tense, and even his breathing stopped for a moment.Not because of hostility and vigilance, but because this warmth has no tactile sensation—it is really just pure warmth, as if sitting in front of a heater in winter, and as if the sun is shining on your body.
No, form.
But he really felt it, felt the warmth as if there were hands hugging his waist from behind, as if there was a person leaning against his back with his forehead against his shoulder.
Only one person will do that.
At this moment, Osamu Dazai's throat was extremely dry.The coldness emanating from his heart made him unable to move at all, and the warmth behind him was so vivid, however, what flowed in his blood vessels turned into cold water mixed with ice slag.
It hurts, Alice.My chest hurts so much right now.
If you say that, will you show a helpless and doting smile as usual, tilt your head, and give me a hug?
——However, I couldn’t say it.
Osamu Dazai's lips trembled, it was the first time he hated his brain so much.The moment he regained consciousness, his overly intelligent and sharp thinking had already connected all the details uncontrollably.Even though there are still parts that he can't fully understand, he has already grasped the core truth.
——His Alice, saved the world.
—and it's not without cost.
So, in the end, he could only speak hoarsely.
"Alice..."
There was no answer, but after a moment of silence, a gentle female voice sounded in his ears like a heartstring.
"...Well. It's me."
The blood on Dazai Osamu's face completely disappeared.But then, suddenly, he laughed in a low voice.
"Alice...Alice...Alice..." He said the name softly, as if he wanted to chew it a little bit between his lips and teeth, and then it would melt on the tip of his tongue, and he swallowed it with the smell of blood.His voice was full of sweetness and nostalgia, and as his voice got quieter, his originally pale face became bloody again.
The female voice next to his ear fell silent, and she didn't speak again until he finally stopped whispering.
"It's me, Aji."
"So, Alice, sister, are you here to say goodbye?" Osamu Dazai asked, but then he spoke first, "No need."
"...Aji?"
"There's no need to say goodbye. Because I'll follow right away." The corners of the young man's lips curled up, "Don't forget, sister, we have an appointment."
//As long as you think you don't want to lose something, you will definitely lose it.No matter what it is that has the value to pursue, it is doomed to be lost the moment it is obtained. //
- This can't be done.
"So there's no need to say goodbye. That's what you promised me."
That was, on that summer day, the girl who had just succeeded the leader of PortMafia at that time and the boy with iris eyes.
【"If you're really that scared..." The blond girl hugged the boy tightly in her arms. "If my sister dies, you can die with me..."]
"You said, absolutely, absolutely will not abandon me."
"..."
"You said you wouldn't leave me alone."
"Aji..."
"How could I survive in a world without you." The black-haired young man laughed, as if he was not talking about his own life and death, but pouring out love words to his older lover.
No, it is indeed a love language.
"So, take me away. Let me go with you." Although there are still many regrets, although the time we have spent is too short, although if it is with you, I have also looked forward to meeting Baishou.
But isn't it good to die for love?
Dazai opened his eyes.
Brilliant orange rushed towards his face - just as he expected, at this moment, he was standing on the reef by the sea.There is an endless sea in front of you, the setting sun hangs low in the sky, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the ships in the distance are plated with a layer of orange gold.
Except that he lost the half [page] at some point in his hand, which was exactly where he was before the end of the world happened.
He had just hooked up with some mouse, and at this moment, maybe the other party hadn't even gone far.
However, all this does not matter.
"That's fine. It's fine now."
Nothing makes sense without Alice.Whether it is the world or Yokohama.At this moment, he just wanted to slowly step into the sea that was dyed orange, and sink to the bottom under the shining of the setting sun and under her care.
——In that case, soul, if human beings really have something called a soul, can they be with her?
I want to see her again, I want to see her smile, I want to hold her hand and hold her tightly in my arms.
I want... to be with her forever...
The black-haired youth curled the corners of his mouth and blinked his eyes very slowly.Then, drops of water fell from his long eyelashes, and across his cheeks, bringing a moist heat.
Then, he heard her voice.
"...Okay..."
It was helpless, soft, loving, his favorite sound.
"If Azhi thinks this is better..." she said, "but not now."
"Alice—"
"Not now, Ji." She interrupted him. "As you can see, I saved the world. I [reset] everything back to before the end happened, but I didn't erase anyone's memory."
"..."
"Aji, I love you, and I love this world," she said, "so, help me settle everything, help me take care of everyone—at least, let everything run smoothly without you. Don't Say no, I know it won't take you much time. If the time comes, if you still insist on your current thoughts, come on."
"...How cunning, Alice."
"There's no way around it." She laughed, "After all, Azhi is the best at what he can do."
"This is...too cunning." Osamu Dazai was silent for a moment, and finally, he also smiled. "So, will you wait for me?"
"If there really is a yellow spring in this world." Her voice began to become ethereal, and Osamu Dazai keenly felt that the warmth behind him was disappearing.
But in front of his eyes, the setting sun was already low.The clouds are gradually rising, and the last afterglow is melting into the sea.
It was as if the huge and brilliant celestial body was being extinguished by the boundless sea.
The orange light is going off.
Alice withdrew her "perception" and looked at the [world] that had recovered its integrity and vitality.
The last orange light is disappearing from the clear and beautiful glass beads.Instead, there are dots of light shining from several places in the [world].
She used the power of [Root Root] to truly integrate this patchwork world into one.Throw the [Book] that caused all the turmoil and was reintegrated into the [Root Source].She thought about throwing the third power of seven into it along with the Dresden stone, but she didn't.
Because although it is dangerous, these are indeed the foundation and significance of the existence of these worlds and these works.She can arbitrarily clear the crisis for Yokohama, but she does not have the obligation and right to make choices for their holders.
So that's good, that's good.The [world] that is no longer on the verge of collapse will start again from today, and everyone in this [world] will have a real, brand new future.
Whether this future is sad or happy.She's done everything she can.
I don't know if it's because of the awakening of 【Origin】.Alice felt nothing but peace in her heart.
except-
She forcibly cut off her own thoughts.Throwing "perception" to "somewhere".
There, a silver-haired old man in a black cloak was holding a scepter and looking at her.
"You are here." Alice "blinked her eyes", "Are you here to see me off?"
To this day, she still can't understand the role of Gem Weng in this drama of salvation.But it didn't affect her mood.It has always been Alice's character to never regret a decision after she has made it.So seeing the old man at this moment, she was actually quite happy.
After all, even though they have bid farewell to the most important person, no one likes to die alone.
What's more, as a fairly qualified savior, even without a grand funeral, Alice felt that she was worthy of a little sacrifice.
For example, let the greatest magician today mourn for her for 3 minutes or something.
However, to Alice's surprise, the old man traveling between worlds let out a deep laughter that echoed like a bell.
"The old man is indeed here to see you off." He stretched out his hand to Alice, "but it's not to watch you go to death."
"Varied--"
"Alice, what do you think is death?" The old man said without hesitation, while reaching into the orange light.
"What the hell are you—"
Alice "stared wide", she was shocked to see that her body - or image - was changing as the old man's hand touched the orange light.It is not alienation, but restoration, she is going out, she is becoming dark, but at the same time, she is restoring her human image!
"In a [world] without mystery, loss of life is death. But in a [world] with mystery, there are many people without life—the dead like an old man, or undead, wraiths, undead creatures, Mechanical creation, alchemical creation. Then, how to judge? Then, what is death?"
Not towards the image of the blond, blue-eyed "Alice" she was completely used to, but towards what she had almost forgotten, the one with short black hair for several years and amber with a far lighter pigment than the average Asian. Color-eyed Mori Alice's image transformation!
"Therefore, there is only one point that is the absolute criterion for judging." And the words of the old man—Jewel Unzelrich continued.
"To die is to disappear, to die is to disappear, to die is to not exist."
What changed at the same time was everything around her and the old man!
The [World], like a crystal glass bead, suddenly went away, and countless stars flashed by their sides, the stars swirled, and the Milky Way hung upside down.At some point, they were surrounded by dazzling silver light.This sudden change made Alice's mind go blank, and when she realized that they were somehow interfering with the stars—no!It was 【World】——when she moved between them, she had already held the old man's hand.
Zellridge wore white gloves embroidered with silver thread—she was sure it must be some kind of formal attire, just by guessing.The fabric feels unlike any fabric Alice has ever known.But it doesn't matter.What matters is that Alice does feel the "touch".And then, she raised her other hand in horror and pressed it on her neck, and screamed because of everything she felt.
"That's impossible! You—"
The real thing screaming.Even when she found herself slapped severely by the leader of the IF line, Osamu Dazai, she never made such a neurotic scream like a cat whose tail was trampled off.
Because she touched something that couldn't exist - real body temperature, real sensual touch, fast beating pulse.
"What the hell did you do!" Her eyes widened, her voice was distorted, "I can't be alive! It's unreasonable——"
"No, you are not alive now, to be precise, you are in the state of a spirit body." However, Zellich interrupted her.He could clearly see Alice's confusion, but he didn't intend to comfort her in the slightest. On the contrary, he showed an extremely happy expression on his coercive face that always gave people a sense of ridicule.
He held Alice's hand in one hand, raised the scepter in the other, and knocked down heavily.
The rich silver light burst suddenly, like the brightest fireworks, and Alice's eyes were filled with white light, and at the same time, a sudden solid ground appeared under her feet.The woman who was completely unprepared staggered and almost fell, and when she stabilized her body and regained her vision that had been struck by the light for a few seconds, she was shocked to find that she was standing in a fully furnished, luxurious room. in the living room.
--etc? !This is her living room? !That's right!This is the living room of the apartment she lived in before crossing! !
However, if this is the living room of her house, then the one in front of her!What is that woman who looks exactly like her slumped on the sofa in front of her? !her body? !
Alice's brain was so shocked that it was about to go on strike at this moment, and before she could digest everything in front of her, a strong force pushed her forward.Before Alice even had time to exclaim, she saw her hand inserted into the "corpse"'s chest.In an instant, the world spun, and her perspective reversed rapidly like a roller coaster.When she came to her senses, she was slumped on the sofa, looking blankly at Zellridge standing not far in front of her.
"Now, you are alive." The old man with the strange and incomprehensible attribute of "laughing at the good out of righteous indignation" showed an expression as if he was very satisfied with the situation in front of him. He was like an audience cheering for a wonderful performance , and like the detective who revealed the truth at the end of a mystery novel, he raised his voice dignifiedly, complacently, and happily.
"Death is non-existence. Now, the blond-haired and blue-eyed Alice is dead. And you, Miss Sen Alice, are alive."
Even if you say so——!
Alice felt like her brains were going to explode. It wasn't that she didn't understand what Zellridge was talking about—no, she just didn't understand what Zellridge was talking about!
Does she need to die?Wear it back?So she is actually a soul wearer?Did Gem Man mislead Osamu Dazai?But what's the point?And if you can wear it back, why don't you tell her?Is it necessary to test consciousness to save the world?Otherwise, it would be completely unreasonable to hide this from her client!
What's more, I have never heard that [Origin] can be reversed!Even if she is a soul wearer, isn't [Origin] not acting on the soul? !
Too many questions, too many unsolvable.Alice's mind was completely confused, and she wanted to ask, but she didn't know what to ask first.She stared blankly at Zellich, but she even began to doubt in her mind whether everything in front of her was her hallucination. In fact, this was not the world she traveled through before, everything was imagined by her, and the real her had long been It went out with the setting sun.
But soon, she stopped thinking about it that way.
For the greatest magician of all time has spoken again.
"Alice, you have very special qualifications."
The old man laughed. In front of the black-haired woman, he smiled with the same expression as when he first appeared in front of the blond-haired, blue-eyed Alice who could only be described as a young girl.
"How is it? All the conditions are still valid, but the location is changed to the place you just came back-this time, do you want to come to be the old man's disciple?"
