Chapter 263 The Trial of Four People
Iji had never seen such a place.
Encountered no obstacles along the way, Iji took Youxiang to a cave outside the town.If you want to say the biggest obstacle, it should be that the fragrant road is not stable.Her feet were light, and although she said she was fine, it seemed that her chest hurt, and she had to take a rest after walking for a while, and sometimes she couldn't hear herself clearly.
Iji wondered if he would be able to help more if he didn't have any "incomprehensible" feelings.Because he can't 'empathize' now, can't feel pain or sadness, or even worry.His mind is full of: too weak, you are fragrant.Why do you do so many things when you are so weak?What do you gain by making yourself like this?If dead... no.What is death?
The problems became more and more outrageous.In the end, Iji realized that maybe this was the worry.He didn't want Youxiang to feel things that he couldn't feel, so he did these things.Although the effect was not very good, he did it for this purpose.
"Youxiang, I..." When walking into the cave, Yizhi hesitated to speak, but finally said, "Did I not do it?"
"Huh? What?" Youxiang's ears were filled with loud voices, and the noise made her unable to hear what Yiji was saying.
"...It's all right." Yiji couldn't ask again, he looked around the environment inside the cave.He had never seen such a place.
The blue-gray stone slab on the ground is very flat, and it looks like it was artificially made, and there are circles of circles engraved on it.A thin layer of water covers it.The water seems to be flowing, but I don't know where it comes from and where it goes.But other than that, Iji didn't see anything else, it was just a strange cave, why did he come here?
The door...the fragrance is different.She saw it.The door Duck pointed out at that time is still there... as long as you go in there...
"Mr. Iji, thank you...but then I have to..." I have to go by myself, right?Youxiang's feet were still light, and after forcibly leaving Yizhi's support, her head also felt a pain.It's so uncomfortable, I can't breathe... It's a little better when I entered this temple, and the voice became a little quieter, but...
"Hey! Youxiang! Where are you going??" Yiji took a step forward and supported Youxiang who was almost lying on the ground again. Come here? Is it fragrant??" Can't you hear yourself talking?Yiji realized that Youxiang might not have heard it, so he moved a little closer. He didn't dare to come so close before...
He was a little... a little resistant.That's right, this should be resistance, right?He didn't want to get so close to Youxiang, he couldn't explain the reason, but he always felt that if he got too close, he would 'lose'.But now he has no other way, he said in Youxiang's ear: "Can you hear Youxiang? Where are you going?"
"Mr. Iji!" So close!Her ears could feel his breathing... Youxiang was taken aback, and she said, "Didn't I hear you just now? I'm sorry... Well, I have to go inside that door!"
"Door?" Where?Iji didn't see any door at all, he looked again and said, "Where is the door? Is there incense?"
"Eh? Mr. Iji can't see it?" Youxiang said strangely, "It's right there... There is a very high door!"
"..." I didn't see it.Yiji reconfirmed that he still didn't see anything, "I didn't see it, Youxiang. Is this your hallucination, or mine?"
How come... Mr. Iji can't see that door? !It's that big! !Youxiang felt that she should go over and take a closer look. She glanced at Yiji, and Yiji understood and helped her walk to the innermost part of the cave.Now they are standing in front of the door, but Yiji only sees the stone wall, Youxiang raised her hand and touched the door, the patterns on the door are clearly visible, she understands that this is not someone's illusion, but this is her own trial.
"Mr. Iji, I'm sorry." Youxiang said, "I think I have to go alone...so, can you wait for me here for a while?"
"..." You can't move anymore!Where do you want to go alone? ?I was going to say that, but...but am I...really can't help at all?What is this feeling?Not angry or... anything.This unspeakable feeling is...
"Mr. Iji." Why didn't you speak?Didn't I hear again?Youxiang looked at him, then smiled and said, "Just for a while... is that okay?"
"Ah. I see." I'll be waiting for you.When you come back explain to me, tell me, teach me what this is all about.you broke me you knowYou broke Germa's best 'weapon'.Iji said, "I'll wait for you here until you come back."
"En." Youxiang nodded, and then she pushed open the door forcefully.The door was much lighter than expected, and it was opened almost with a slight push. When she stepped into the door, the door disappeared immediately, and there was no 'exit' behind her.That is to say, there is no way to go back.
Although there are still some voices in my ears and it is still a bit difficult to breathe, it feels better than when I was outside.The temple should have a function of isolating demons.It turns out that they are so fragile without Frey, and they are helping themselves to resist such a huge malice... They are becoming less and less like demons, you guys.
With this in mind, Youxiang walked forward gropingly.Now here is a long and narrow passage, with only a little faint light ahead, and the surroundings are pitch black.Touching the rock wall with her hands can feel a little wet, and it seems that she can still hear a little water sound, but she can't hear it clearly.
After walking for a while, the passage began to open up, but there was nothing special about it, it seemed like an ordinary dark cave.In Matthew's words: nothing unreasonable or contrary to science was found.Of course, except that the entrance is invisible to others and then it can disappear by itself.
"........."
"what?"
sound?Is it the sound of someone speaking?Youxiang heard someone's voice in the darkness ahead.She wasn't sure if it was guidance or the voice of a demon.But the amulet with a little warmth in her hand gave her courage.She followed the sound and walked over.
"Ace has..."
This is, Luffy?After getting close, Youxiang recognized the owner of the voice. She quickened her pace and saw the phantom of Luffy in front of her.That's right, it should be a phantom.
"Ace...is he dead?!!!"
Luffy's voice was very loud, and he could be seen kneeling on the ground in pain and crying loudly, and his body was still bandaged. Could this be... what happened after the battle on the top?
"Luffy..." Youxiang looked at him sadly, and felt sad even knowing it was a phantom.She walked up to Luffy, then knelt down and said softly, "I helped everyone protect Ace. He is safe now."
"Woooo..." However, this Luffy couldn't hear Youxiang's words, he was still hammering the ground, crying in pain.Just when Youxiang was about to raise her hand and try to touch him, suddenly, a purple light flashed into her eyes!
A person in a black robe is standing in front of Youxiang holding a purple-bladed lightsaber. She wears a mask, but she can be seen as a woman.With a buzzing sound, the lightsaber sliced across Phantom's figure, making him disappear.
"You are..." Youxiang looked at the person in black robe, this figure and the appearance of the lightsaber... She seemed to be... "Mom?"
"..." The other party didn't answer, but raised his sword in an attacking posture.Before Youxiang had time to say anything, the other party had already attacked! !Youxiang couldn't even stand up yet!She rolled on the ground to avoid a blow from the lightsaber!The ground in that place was crushed instantly and a scorched scar was drawn on it!
"Why... Mom?!!" Is it Mom?Is not it? !Youxiang got up and ran while questioning, the other party was serious, did she want to kill herself? ! !
"no value."
"Hey?"
what did she say……?
"If you can't bring about the revival of the empire, you are worthless." The man in black robe repeated, her voice was extremely cold, "The salvation you have found is nothing but self-consolation. You were born to be a sacrifice. "
"Mother……?"
"Ah... my daughter. You—"
As the man spoke, the lightsaber waved again: "You are the disaster itself!"
"Hmm..." Calamity...?Youxiang didn't understand why her mother said that... Didn't she send herself to grandpa?Wasn't she desperately protecting herself?why now...
"Stop struggling!!"
Seeing Youxiang who staggered and dodged the attack, the person who seemed to be Youxiang's mother raised her voice, and she said, "It is impossible for you to be happy. You were born to be a sacrifice, and you will be a human being until your death." It’s just a sacrifice! Sacrifice, how can happiness come from? You just need to do your best. But now, the empire no longer exists, so let me..."
"End your worthless life. My daughter, come to me!"
don't want!don't want! !I just... I don't want to...
OK.I can get happiness... must... must be... possible... right?
Youxiang tried her best to run, she wanted to avoid that person, she wanted to avoid those voices, the faces of those who had helped her kept appearing in her mind, and the appearances of those who loved her and she also loved .Even if it's a disaster, even if it's a sacrifice... surely you can find it, right?That treasure chest of happiness is hidden in it, it must be possible, right?
Takumi, my friends, my family, have given me the key to the treasure chest.
Mom, you are wrong.
You must be...something wrong! !
At this moment, the passage ahead that was getting darker and narrower became wider and brighter. Youxiang ran a little slower, she was a little tired, and there seemed to be no sound of chasing behind her. Just looking back, the man in black robe appeared in front of her! !
"Stop struggling! My daughter!!"
Accompanied by such a sound, the lightsaber slashed over again!Her attack was very fast and quick, and she didn't mean to be merciful at all!Youxiang knew that if she forced her into a corner, she might really be killed. Although this person was probably also a phantom, the rock wall was cut open!God knows what will happen if he gets hacked!She doesn't want to experiment! !
"I want to struggle! Mom!!"
Youxiang tried her best to dodge the attack, refuted her while running in the opposite direction while rolling and crawling, this was obviously the place where she ran over just now, but now it has completely changed!The open field is gone, replaced by a bottomless chasm!Youxiang almost fell off!
"Why don't you accept your fate?!!"
The questioning behind her was getting closer, but Youxiang had nowhere to escape, so she could only answer loudly: "Because I still have someone I love!!"
I am not reconciled, I don’t want to give up, I still have many, many things I want to do, obviously everyone is safe and sound, obviously as long as this continues, I will be able to get happiness!I don't want to give up now, I want to meet everyone, I want to meet him! !
I don't want to die, I can't die!Never die!I made an appointment with everyone... to get out from here, to meet again, and to be happy together!
So fight!Can't run away anymore!If it had to be done, it would be my own mother... Even if it was her, it was absolutely impossible to take away my happiness! !
Youxiang didn't know where the courage came from, she no longer dodged, but directly faced the attacking person!You don't need to rely on anyone, you can fight by yourself!She immediately took action, and quickly rushed over when the person on the other side was unexpected. The moment she approached her, she immediately lowered her figure and rushed into her arms, knocking her away! !
I don't know if it was because she was too surprised or because she was just a phantom, but the figure of the man in the black robe spread out like this!The lightsaber she was holding fell to the ground with a thud, and everything else was gone.It was as if there was no one here.
Youxiang almost used all her strength when she bumped into it, now she fell to the ground and took a breath.I thought I was going to die, after all, I had no idea what to do after rushing over!Grandpa never taught me how to fight people with lightsabers!but……
But look down on me too much, Mom.I... now I don't doubt it anymore.I won't doubt everyone's hearts, because... Youxiang raised her hand and covered her heart.Because everyone is with me.right here.
At this time, Youxiang saw that the lightsaber that had just fallen suddenly went out.When she carefully picked up the lightsaber, black residue fell out.It seems that... the crystal that was originally inside is broken?Will the original crystal be broken?Or was it just... just a phantom?
This temple is really getting more and more amazing.But in this way... there are two hilts.Youxiang touched the parts of the lightsaber in the small bag.Two hilts... the crystal was also split in half... two...huh?Could it be that……
No way?It can't be such a coincidence, can it?
Does the man named Isaac know about this?He, he shouldn't know the existence of Dak, right?Is it a coincidence...?Could this be the 'guidance of the force' that Dak said? !
Even if it's a coincidence, it's a good one.If he can assemble it by himself, then maybe... Youxiang understands what he should do.She got up from the ground, just find a place with better light, and then assemble the lightsaber, so...
It is no longer mother's sword.It will become... its own power!
--------------------
The author has something to say:
Youxiang also has the same characteristics as the three brothers Yimao, that is: if you are in doubt, you should be reckless first.After all, they grew up together, and their problems are all the same, maybe it's Karp's inheritance (?)
And, Dak is a dual-knife style.
