Chapter 126 Future and Future Crossroads
When Fangzheng opened his eyes again, it was already dusk.
"What a bad dream."
Pressing his forehead, Fangzheng sighed. He had a dream just now. He dreamed that there was a quarrel among the people, and then Keiichi planned to explore the Irie Clinic alone, but was stopped by Reina and Shion on the way. Then... for no apparent reason, he started killing each other.
To be honest, Fang Zheng was still very calm about the first half of this dream, but the later development left him dumbfounded.
Reina and Shiyin actually "transferred their love to each other" and both fell in love with her? !
how can that be?
Frankly speaking, Fangzheng feels very, very incredible about this kind of development.
Strange to say, as a work with one man and multiple women in the standard harem configuration, "When Chilling Cries" has very little involvement in the aspect of love. I don't know if it's because the background time is set in the 1980s, and the love performance of both men and women in it is quite conservative. Of course, there will also be some plots and costumes similar to harassment, but this is different from the plots in modern harem animations, and it is more of a "prank" level.
As the only male protagonist, Maehara Keiichi has not confirmed a relationship with any female protagonist. But this is different from the ambiguous relationship between men and women in the harem of the post-era era, where everyone secretly agrees but the hero just doesn't make a clear statement. In "When the Chilling Cries", whether it is the hero or the heroine, They are both at a very early stage of love, and only Sonozaki Meiyin and Sonozaki Shion have a more or less concept of love, but they both stop at young unrequited love.
It can be said that compared to the female protagonists in many animations who are scrambling to climb onto the male protagonist's bed to express their affection, the protagonists in "When Chilling Cry" are all pure and a bit too much.
Because of this, Fangzheng actually didn't think about it at all at first. Indeed, Reina would bring lunch for himself every time he came. But Fangzheng knows that her style has always been the same. As for Shiyin... To be honest, although Fangzheng often discusses "that matter" with her, it may be because Shiyin's emotional description of Wushi in the story is too much The reason is so profound that Fangzheng never thought that he would be able to put a green hat on that sad and unlucky guy.
This is just a joke, we are in Hinamizawa, not in Sakakino Academy, I am not Brother Cheng, and I have never abandoned anyone, why did it suddenly end in blood?
Isn't this kidding me?
Recalling the battle between Reina and Shiyin in the dream, and then Rena hacked Shiyin to death with a machete, and then smashed Keiichi's head to pieces, Fangzheng couldn't help but tremble.
Well, dreaming...it must be a dreaming...
"Boom boom."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and upon hearing the knock, Fang Zheng immediately withdrew his thoughts.
"Please come in."
Accompanied by Fangzheng's response, the door opened with a "squeak", and then Fangzheng saw Gushou Lihua walking in. She first forced Fangzheng to show a smile, and then asked.
"Excuse me, teacher, are you free now?"
"Of course I'm free, but...how come you are the only one, what about the others?"
"They've all disbanded and left."
"Woo..."
Hearing Lihua's answer, Fangzheng's complexion also changed slightly. This reminded him of the dream just now. If the dream was correct, Reina should be following Keiichi now... Wait, isn't that just a dream?
Thinking of this, Fangzheng suddenly felt a little uneasy, if it was really what he said in his dream. Then he should leave immediately now, and then go to stop the fighting between the two sides. But just when Fangzheng had this idea, he once again felt that kind of "premonition" that couldn't be clearly stated, but was everywhere.
That is, if you really do this, things may reach an irreversible level.
How is this going?
Fangzheng couldn't help but stood there in a daze at the moment. Logically speaking, if the dream was more than just a dream, then he had to stop it. After all, if Reina kills Shion and then Keiichi, Fang Zheng's mission will be declared a complete failure. Gushou Lihua will never accept such a world. She has been reincarnated for more than a hundred years in order to find a happy ending for her and all the friends around her. If she can't find it in this world, then She will definitely leave here and look for another world.
Therefore, Fangzheng wanted to stop all this immediately. But his premonition was preventing Fangzheng from doing so, wait... Thinking of this, Fangzheng's complexion instantly became ugly.
He finally found out where the hole the world dug for him was! !
Since coming to this world, Fangzheng has been full of confidence. He feels that he is very stable and it is impossible for him to roll over. The reason is very simple. He knows who is behind the scenes, and he also knows the essence and cause of "Hinamizawa Syndrome". He feels that as long as the plot develops according to the plot, he will be able to "pass the level" successfully.
But now, Fangzheng finally discovered that he had suffered from "Hinamisawa Syndrome" a long time ago, and it may have developed to the fourth stage!
Because he can't make up his mind and make a judgment now!
Do you believe in your dreams? Or a hunch? Or is it instinct?
At this moment, Fangzheng felt that he had fallen into a maelstrom. He used to think that he was familiar with all the plots of "When the Chilling Cries", and he was not worried about any accidents at all. But now, Fangzheng realized that it might be better if he knew nothing about it.
If Fangzheng didn't know the plot of "When the Chilling Cries", then he might treat that dream as just a dream and trust his intuition more. After all, there is a deep friendship and bond between these children, and he believes in them... But, this is impossible!
Because in the story of "When Cicadas Cry", it is these friends who were originally "loving each other" who all turned black and ran away due to various reasons, and then raised their butcher knives and slashed at their friends around them. The crazy Keiichi almost destroyed everything, even though Meiyin and Reina were determined to die, even facing Keiichi who was holding up the bat, Reina raised his hands and smiled, asking Keiichi to believe in himself.
But... Keiichi still killed her without hesitation.
The same is true for Shiyin. She killed the hag, imprisoned her sister, and cruelly killed Satsuko who was supposed to protect... Not to mention Reina, she even thought about letting the whole school to be buried with her, just because Didn't reach my goal...
And it is precisely because of these "love and kill" plots that Fangzheng is not convinced of their friendship at all. Once one of them gets sick, the consequences will be disastrous!
But now, Fangzheng finally found out that he was also caught in it without knowing it!
He couldn't believe that dream, he couldn't believe his premonition, and he couldn't believe his spells. No matter what kind of doubt, Fang Zheng could find the corresponding explanation in his mind.
Only then did Fangzheng remember what Rex said to himself when he taught him prophecy magic.
"For a prophecy mage, the future is just a choice, but the choice does not necessarily achieve the result you need. Even if you see the future, that future will change because of it. Therefore, as a prophecy mage, you must confirm , which step you can accept in the future. Remember, a prophecy mage is not a god, and even a god cannot escape the grasp of fate. Never forget that when you are confidently trying to change your destiny, the choice you make In itself, it is also an inseparable part of destiny."
But now, Fangzheng finally understood the meaning of Rex's words.
To a certain extent, he did do similar things to the prophecy mage before, because he was "familiar with the plot", so he could make trouble in those world copies. Only the world of "Black Soul", Fang Zheng himself doesn't know very well, but fortunately, that world is a one-line world, Fang Zheng needs to do more to hone his fighting skills, and the decisions he makes can hardly affect anything— ——After all, there are not many living people in that world.
But now, Fangzheng finally discovered the hidden dangers and traps.
He knows too much to make judgments and decisions at all.
go? It was just a dream, and his premonition told him that if he went there, it might bring unpredictable consequences.
not going? What if it wasn't a dream? Will I see two corpses the next day... Oh, no, Reina will dispose of these two corpses, and then say that they are not feeling well and cannot come to the rally!
Until this time, Fangzheng finally discovered the malice towards him in this world.
No matter how he chooses, it's all BAD END!
