Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 119, Section 056: Bonds
"That's too late!"

The executive stared at the screen, the red warning signal sending shivers down everyone's spines.

"Executive, we have orders to deploy missiles." The communications officer spoke expressionlessly.

They were all watching the surveillance cameras.

The hunter can harm the monster, but arrogance is the obstacle.

Putting aside betrayal, just to eliminate this 500-year-old monster, I have no qualms about taking someone down with me.

"Request missile authorization from above," the man referred to as the executive officer said to his adjutant.

"Yes."

Akira Akahoshi was not a soft-hearted person. Even though he was in another city at the moment, he was still the executor of the strategic deployment of the White Walkers in Sakyoto.

Who else is there?

“Ms. Fujiwara, the daughter of Representative Fujiwara, is also here.”

Akira Akahoshi frowned: "Her?"

He turned back and asked, "How long until missile access is unlocked and the missile is launched?"

"twenty minutes."

The square-faced man nodded: "Dispatch the personal guard to search and rescue. There is only one target: bring Miss Fujiwara back before the explosion. If she can't be brought back, that's fine. If there's any spare capacity, bring Arrogance and Hunter to justice on the spot."

"Hai!"

……

Arrogance tried to move his Adam's apple, but he could only gurgle and utter no words, with blood-tinged foam oozing out.

Jin Ziyue watched as the arrogant red thread was tightly gripped by Yuan.

It's like a lion biting down hard on an antelope's neck.

Without treatment, she is beyond saving.

And arrogance finally touched the face of the moving one.

The dried bloodstains made her hands sticky, and though she wanted to speak, she no longer knew how to act or express herself.

She gazed at him quietly, her eyes seemingly empty, yet surprisingly gentle.

"There was movement."

"There was movement."

"Wake up."

"Wake up."

Gollum—

Bubbles were popping and gurgling, one after another, a sign of a young man drowning in the lake.

The dragon horse slowly opened its eyes.

Where am I?
He felt dizzy and lightheaded, drifting along in the water.

here it is--

I remembered.

I drowned.

In a short time, the experiences of the partners and all their daily lives were like the moment before waking up from a dream, the tide receding, leaving only reality.

Was it a dream I had when I was dying?
I remember now, it's nighttime, and I'm about to die.

That seems like a good idea. So, are those people who died because of me in my dream still alive?

After twenty years of being all alone, I suddenly have so many friends, and it's rare to have any memories to reminisce about.

"There was movement."

"There's movement..."

You Donglongma heard someone calling him and was somewhat puzzled.

"Wake up."

"What—" He didn't even have time to scream before the surging memories overwhelmed him like a tidal wave bursting through a floodgate.

stab-

The image of lust dying in the arms of rage; the image of rage being burned and finally roaring as it exploded; the image of laziness remaining silent; the image of jealousy collapsing in the arms of pride; the image of greed dying with resentment on its face; the image of Green Willow turning into rotten flesh—all flashed back in his memory.

"Ah—" he cried out in anguish, clutching his head. "Help me! Someone, please help me!"

"There's movement, wake up—"

The owner of the voice spoke in a very soft tone, which inexplicably calmed people down.

The dragon horse was in tears. Even though it was at the bottom of the lake, the tears were still stuck to its face and wouldn't come out.

"thump--"

It sounded like someone had thrown themselves into the lake.

Soon, a dark shadow slowly swam over.

who is it?

Her figure was beautiful, and she seemed familiar, like layers of bandages peeling away. As the shadow drew closer, her face came into view.

Those cool, clear eyes were like a fleeting glimpse of beauty on a lake.

The dragon horse suddenly remembered that it was arrogance.

The woman is like a mermaid, swimming from the lake.

Instead of her flowing long hair, she sported a shoulder-length style, but the gentleness in her eyes remained unchanged.

Once the dragon horse calmed down, it mustered up the courage to reach out its hand.

“You must wake up,” said Arrogance.

“But everyone is dead. All of them were killed by me—” His eyes dimmed slightly.

"No, everyone is with you. From beginning to end, everyone's hearts have been with you." Arrogantly, he said, his hands already touching the moving hand. "Come back, Ryoma."

In that instant, someone saw that with the arrival of arrogance, a beam of light seemed to break through the surface of the lake and shine in front of him.

At that moment, another voice rang out from all directions of the lake: "Don't even think about hurting him again."

Yuan's voice stirred the water, and the undercurrents at the bottom of the lake began to surge.

Arrogance, carried along by the current, became even more biased.

He reached out to grab it, but grasped nothing.

Yuan continued, "Here, no one can hurt you. You'll feel better."

Without hesitation, it stretched out to chase after arrogance.

He struggled again, foaming at the mouth, and muttered, "No, arrogance awaits me!"

So what if I can't swim? As long as I have hands and feet, I'll paddle to Arrogance, even if it means paddling!

"There's movement!" Arrogance was carried away by the airflow, which was the center of the vortex, already stirring in the water and forming a waterspout that stretched to the sky.

"Arrogance!" He was anxious and tried to move forward with all his might, but he couldn't make any progress no matter what he did.

Just like when I was sinking into a lake, the woman saved me without hesitation, and now I must do everything in my power to save her!
"Ah!" For the first time in over twenty years, the dragon horse transformed the unease, sorrow, fear, and cowardice in its heart into a vigorous driving force to move forward.

He moved his hands and feet quickly, gradually breaking free from the water's constraints. Ignoring the turbulent current, his body floated lightly as he went upstream!

At this speed alone, arrogance is completely beyond saving!
We're still far from it; we need even more!
He swam with all his might, the lake water barely visible in the air currents, yet he kept his eyes open, striving to charge toward arrogance.

Suddenly, a fair and delicate hand reached out.

There was a moment of surprise.

She was a girl with a radiant smile; the water flowed through her body, yet it could not move her.

The girl smiled and said, "Senior, as your boyfriend, you have to do your best!"

My heart, which was stirring, began to tremble uncontrollably.

"child."

In his memory, his mother's loving face appeared, and the woman extended her hand to him.

With tears in her eyes, she reached out again.

"Give me your hand!"

He spoke fiercely, driven by lust.

You Dong nodded heavily, and driven by lust, he took another step forward.

Then, lust vanished as specks of light.

Next came fury.

The man, with his signature smile, extended his large hand to him.

She pressed against his heavy palm, feeling the other's surging passion: "Go!"

“Go, go, go!”

The rage had barely subsided when Laziness, who was always on the move, caught up with him from behind, grabbed him, and dragged him away for a while.

Then it turned into firefly starlight.

Jealousy was already waiting there.

The man drew his sword and smiled, "I'll see you off."

Iaido stirs the water, and the raging air currents will once again move towards the arrogant position.

Greed stood up, flexed his muscles, and hoisted You Dong up, tossing it out like a giant battery.

A dragon-horse floated and swayed as it approached Qingliu.

Aoyagi leaned on his cane, his other hand clutching his top hat.

The two looked at each other, saying nothing.

Suddenly, Aoyu waved her hand, and a bubble enveloped the movement, saying, "She's in your hands now."

Having said that, it too turned into specks of light.

As soon as the words were spoken, Bubble accelerated and rushed towards the one who had been carried away by Arrogance.

"arrogant--"

Dragon Horse reached out his hand; this time, he must seize it!

Only then did he realize that he was now close to the lake's surface, with rays of light streaming down from the shimmering water. It was like the first light of creation, when dark clouds cracked and rays of sunlight seeped through the sky.

At the last moment, he saw the unconscious Arrogance and lunged at him with all his might.

He grabbed her hand and, with her in tow, broke free from the waterspout at full speed.

The waterspout seemed to have no effect on him at all, easily bringing out his arrogance.

This time, I will never let go, no matter what!

With the person in his arms in his arms, and with an unwavering determination, he rushed out of the water!

"Wow--"
