"Can I visit her now?" The girl asked softly, her voice a little hoarse: "I want to go and keep her company."
Uesugi Yue hesitated for a moment, and seeing that she seemed calm, he nodded.
"Thank you." Sakurai Kogure said softly. When they passed by each other, Uesugi Yue saw the mist in her eyes.
Sakurai Kogure gently pushed open the door of the ward and saw Minamoto Chinois lying on the bed.
She walked to the bed and sat down, seeing the white bandage soaked in blood and the girl's face as pale as paper and bloodless.
The girl was too thin, with a pale and thin layer of skin wrapped around her skeleton. Her breathing was so weak that it was almost imperceptible. She lay on the hospital bed as if she was going to merge with the pale bed. She had already stepped half a foot into the gates of hell.
Sakurai Kogure's eyes slowly turned red. She recalled how they first met. She was injured while saving her and was lying on the dirty ground in the alley, looking miserable. However, she was stubborn and refused to ask for help. It seemed that she wanted to handle everything on her own.
At the beginning, Sakurai Kogure clearly realized that she was just an ordinary person, and she tried her best just to survive.
Later, she became more and more crazy, and more and more people died at her hands. Even among the crowd of evil spirits, no one dared to approach her, as if they would be targeted by the god of death if they got close.
She became the Dragon King, second only to the emperor and above all others. Even the king's generals could not control her. She was bloodthirsty and brutal but also extremely powerful, as if she was born strong and reliable. Nothing could stump her, not even her own family could do anything to her. She was the omnipotent patron saint in everyone's mind.
But only Sakurai Kogure knew that once the perfect and powerful shell was peeled off, there was only a mortal body inside. She was never born strong, but there was a cliff behind her, so she couldn't take a step back.
But even the invincible God of War will eventually fail one day. If you always walk on the edge of killing, you will eventually be bitten back by killing.
But it doesn't matter, she will always be with her, whether she lives or dies, and will never leave her.
Uesugi Yue was worried that Sakurai Kogure would not be able to accept the fact, but he didn't know that she had already prepared to face this day.
Reaching out and gently brushing away the loose hair on the girl's forehead, Sakurai Kogure leaned over slightly and placed a kiss on her pale forehead as light as a dragonfly touching the water.
Her expression was so focused, as if she were a devout pilgrim approaching a shrine, or a Christian believer facing the Bible.
"You promised to let me accompany you."
She said softly: "Don't even think about getting rid of me."
……
Yuan Zhinu had a very long dream, and she knew clearly that she was dreaming.
In the dream, I returned to my childhood, when I lived with Yuan Zhisheng in that remote town.
There is a shrine in the town, and the people there are very optimistic about Minamoto no Chijo and want her to become the next shrine maiden.
Genjisei also thought it was a good idea. If Genjisei became a shrine maiden, she could live in a shrine. Although she would have to learn things like rituals, at least she wouldn't have to look at the faces of her adoptive parents or worry about going hungry.
This was considered a very good place in that remote and backward town at that time. Yuan Zhisheng was very happy, but Yuan Zhinu refused.
Yuan Zhisheng immediately showed a very puzzled look. He was still young at that time and could not think about too many things. He just sincerely hoped that his sister could live a better life.
So he asked why.
Genjitsu still remembers that she was in a daze for a long time at that time. To be honest, she also wanted to be a shrine maiden. All she had to do was believe in a guy called God and perform sacrificial dances from time to time. She would have no worries about food and clothing and be respected by others. It was simply an ordinary life that people yearned for.
But she knew that such ordinary days had nothing to do with her, Herzog would not let her go, the gods were blind, and fate would not favor her.
So, when Gen Chisei asked again why, Gen Chinu answered.
"Because I don't believe in God, nor do I believe in fate."
The girl's voice was so soft, so soft that Yuan Zhisheng thought he had heard it wrong. He scratched his head and said, "Well, faith is something that is really hard to explain."
The boy turned and left without hearing what she said next -
"If there really is someone who manipulates fate in this world, I must kill him."
In the dark ward, Yuan Zhinv opened her eyes silently. There was bright gold in her eyes, like two burning flames in the darkness.
The voices of her childhood are still vivid in her ears, and Yuan Zhinu's thoughts have never changed.
Herzog manipulated her entire childhood, so she had to kill Herzog, and then she did it.
Now it seems that there are people who want to manipulate her again, Bondarev, the prince, Odin. Since it is not clear whether they are the same person, just kill them all. It doesn't matter whether they are human or ghost, just kill them all. It doesn't matter if she has to pay anything for it.
Her chest was numb and she had completely lost all feeling, but Gen Chinuo didn't care. When she was about to get up, she saw Sakurai Kogure lying on the bed.
The girl didn't know how long she had been guarding. There were faint dark circles under her eyes. There was a half-opened book "Care of the Severely Injured Patient" next to her. She seemed to have fallen asleep out of exhaustion halfway through reading.
Yuan Zhinu looked at her for a long time, with an unclear expression in her eyes. After a long time, she quietly got out of bed and gently carried the girl to the bed.
Because of the big movement, the wound seemed to have broken open again, and some blood-red appeared through the layers of bandages, but Yuan Zhinv acted as if she didn't see it and turned a blind eye.
"...Hmm." Sakurai Kogure woke up almost immediately. His slightly opened eyes were full of blurriness, and he said incoherently: "Are you awake?"
Yuan Zhinv was silent for a moment, then turned her head to look at the bright white moonlight on the floor: "Yeah, he's awake."
Sakurai Kogure seemed to be a little more awake. She struggled to get up, but as soon as she moved slightly, she met the flash of gold in Genji's eyes.
Sakurai Kogure was stunned and slowly closed her eyes. Genji covered her with a blanket and said softly, "Take a rest, be good."
She turned around and casually put on a windbreaker, picked up the scarlet sword beside the pillow and put it on her waist, glanced at the two executives who were dozing off outside the ward, pushed open the window and jumped into the moonlight.
She was going to find Norton.
Yuan Zhinu still remembers that she saw Norton waking up at the last moment before she fell into a coma. Although she didn't know why he didn't die in this deadly situation, she was worried because Old Tang had already become the King of Bronze and Fire.
If this monarch wants to do something in Japan and kill some people, will the Snake Eight Clan be able to resist? The answer seems to be disappointing. As the eldest son who looks most like the Black King among the four monarchs, Norton's strength should not be underestimated.
So she had to go and meet him, at least to find out what the situation was.
She found him in a secret room in the basement of Paradise House.
A lonely figure stood in front of the suspended brass jar, watching silently. The man was dressed in a white robe, like a quiet statue, almost blending into the darkness.
Hearing the noise behind him, the man did not turn around and did not seem surprised.
"You're here." He used an affirmative tone, his voice was very light, as if he was certain that Yuan Zhinv would come to see him.
Yuan Zhinv said "hmm", took two steps forward to the man's side, and also looked at the brass tank in front of her that was suspended in the superconducting magnetic field in the low-temperature liquid nitrogen.
It was sleeping like a developing fetus, quiet and well-behaved.
"You were injured so badly, but you were able to recover in such a short time. Your bloodline is outstanding even among the second generation."
In the darkness, the man spoke first, breaking the silence.
"Is this a compliment?" Yuan Zhinv smiled silently: "Should I act very honored?"
"You killed Samson," Norton suddenly said, "I can smell his taste in your blood. You ate him."
Yuan Zhinv was stunned.
Chapter 150 Signing the Contract
Yuan Zhinu clearly knew that she had been living under surveillance since she was born. Those guys were like ghosts that could not be shaken off, always controlling her.
She had been angry, unwilling, and depressed, but she had no strength to resist.
Until that day, she got the simulator. This thing that was like a plug-in and a golden finger changed her predetermined fate in the original work and gave her the power to fight back.
But Yuan Zhinv had never thought about what this simulator was, because there was no way to explain it, just like a must-have plug-in for time travelers.
Since even what a simulator is cannot be explained clearly, then the things that the simulator brings are even more inexplicable, so Yuan Zhinv has never been too lazy to think too much about the rewards that are given out.
She had used the simulator experience rewards she gained through killing to raise her bloodline to its current level step by step, but Norton actually said that he felt Samson in her blood?
She ate Samson? How could she not know?
Isn't this really some new reason to find fault? Could it be that the Fire Lord is just making up an excuse to avenge his servant?
Yuan Zhinv frowned slightly, her hand subconsciously reached for the long sword at her waist, her eyes full of vigilance.
Norton didn't look at her, but he sneered as if he had fully understood her little action.
"If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't have left the Greenland Ice Sea alive."
Yuan Zhinu thought so too. It was a completely fatal situation at that time. She was ready to injure Leviathan even if it meant death. She didn't care about hurting the enemy by 800 and herself by 10,000. Even if the opponent was the Dragon King, there was no way she could escape unscathed.
If Norton had not intervened, she would probably have been reincarnated by now, if reincarnation really existed in this world.
After a moment of silence, Yuan Zhinv said, "Thank you."
The man didn't respond, as if he didn't care at all.
"Why did you save me?" Yuan Zhinv finally asked the question in her heart: "I don't think you have any reason to save me."
This was the truth. Yuan Zhinu did not think that the monarch in front of her was a fool. He was completely opposite to Old Tang, who was so simple that he was like a single-celled organism. Many years ago, when Norton incarnated as the human Li Xiong to assist Gongsun Shu, he was one of the best strategists.
When all his memories returned, how could he not realize that Minamoto Chikōnen approached him with the intention of killing him? Although she stopped in the end, she brought him back to Japan, where he seemed to be well fed and well cared for, but was actually sentenced to imprisonment.
Including bringing him along for the Greenland incident, there was also a strong sense of calculation.
Old Tang couldn't see these things, but Norton must be clear.
Genjitsu didn't know what kind of person the Bronze and Fire Lord was, but the Fire Lord corresponded to wrath in the Seven Deadly Sins. From these two words, we can see that Norton is more or less a tyrant.
She didn't think this guy was so broad-minded that he didn't care about being plotted against. Didn't he just mention Samson, as if he wanted to settle the score?
But this question caused the man to fall into a long silence, as if even he himself did not know the answer.
But just when Genjiro thought he would not answer this question, he suddenly spoke again.
"No matter what your purpose was in approaching me, at least you did help me escape from imprisonment. Without your intervention, my situation would have become very passive."
When Yuan Zhinu heard this, she was extremely surprised, because what he said was exactly the same as the subsequent development in the original work. If she had not intervened, Old Tang would have been plotted to death.
Those members of the secret party knew for a long time who Norton's incarnation was, but they never took action. They were just waiting for an opportunity to kill him completely without letting him transform into a cocoon.
Finally, this opportunity was realized by killing Constantine in front of Old Tang, and the twins of the Bronze and Fire Kings became the first sacrifices.
But now, with her intervention, fate has become completely different. Norton woke up before Constantine. With his ability and wisdom, it would be difficult for him to make any further plans.
If we only look at this point, he should indeed thank Minamoto Chino, but she had no intention of thanking him at all. It was already a favor that he was able to save her life, and perhaps he would have to continue to settle accounts with her.
As expected, the next thing Norton said was: "Although you killed Samson, you saved Constantine, so it's even."
Yuan Zhinv raised her eyebrows and glanced at the brass jar floating quietly in front of her. "You equate Samson with Constantine? Aren't you a bit mean as a brother?"
Yuan Zhinu could see that Norton didn't want to kill her at least for the time being, otherwise there would be no need for so much nonsense, so she immediately felt like joking.
What was unexpected was that Norton actually responded to her obviously joking remark.
"Samson is indeed not as good as Constantine, so I owe you a favor. During the time you were unconscious, I have already solved the issue of your sister's bloodline."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhinu's eyes widened in surprise.
