Chapter 1863 Life and Death (Yesterday's Dream Was Really Depressing)

"……………you………"

There was a dead silence in the hall, the blue-haired boy stared at Fangzheng dumbfounded, while the girl behind him opened her eyes wide and said nothing.

"The struggle of mortals is ridiculous and ignorant, but it is also very interesting. Is this your final choice?"

"———————!"

As Fangzheng's words fell, suddenly, several flames emerged from under his feet, opening its mouth like a huge dragon, and engulfing the dead in all directions.

Seeing this scene, although the expressions of the girls behind Fangzheng changed slightly, they did not go up to stop it. They were not fools either. After Fang Zheng said it just now, they knew that the other party was obviously trying to kill them, but Fang Zheng blocked it. Although dying in this place is not really dying, but... not everyone is willing to live as a dead person!

"Wula, get out of here!"

Looking at the hall where fire snakes were raging, the blue-haired boy hurriedly grabbed the hand of the black-haired girl sitting on the throne, trying to take her away, but before he could take a step, he saw that the blazing flames had completely surrounded the whole place. In the main hall, at the same time, Fangzheng walked up slowly.

"Tell me your choice, Miss Wulla."

"........."

"Oh, don't worry, if you are afraid of your power, I have already wiped it away."

"what?!"

At this moment, the blue-haired boy seemed to have heard some unacceptable news. He stared at Fang Zheng with wide eyes, and Fang Zheng smiled coldly.

"It's a very interesting fairy tale. The gods gave Her Royal Highness the power of death to destroy her enemies? Mortals always like to attribute any trivial matters to the gods, so if this is the case, there is nothing wrong with me taking back this power Bar."

Fangzheng raised his right hand, and at his fingertips, a cloud of black mist slowly swirled.

"This is not the power you should have, little girl, now, tell me your choice."

At this moment, an unparalleled coercion suddenly descended. Whether it was the black-haired girl, the blue-haired boy, the people behind Fangzheng, or the dead who were desperately trying to avoid the flames, they all stopped at this moment. Looking at the figure in the raging flames, he fell to his knees involuntarily—it was not because of reverence, but because of fear, because he instinctively sensed the power of an existence far above him, just like an ant perceives a person Stretch out your fingers to easily strangle yourself to death with panic and fear.

This is God.

The blue-haired boy wanted to speak, but no matter how hard he tried, his face turned red, but he couldn't make a sound, while the black-haired girl --- Wu La opened her blue eyes and stared at him. Fangzheng, she said in a low voice after a while.

"why me?"

"Because you are the ruler of this city, it is your responsibility to determine the future of these dead, and...you made them like this, didn't you?"

"shut up-----!!!"

The blue-haired boy roared like crazy, while Fang Zheng stared at Wu La.

"I think you've noticed it yourself."

"……………Yes."

Facing Fangzheng's gaze, Wu La lowered her head slowly, and upon hearing Wu La's answer, the blue-haired boy looked at her in surprise.

"Wula, you..."

"I know that I seem to be different from others. I seem to have some kind of power, but I don't know exactly what it is. Today... until now, when I said it from this god, I didn't know... "

Having said this, Wu La took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and then opened them.

"I... killed someone...? Right?"

"No, it's not your fault, Wulla!"

The blue-haired boy desperately wanted to reach out, but he had already tried his best just to speak.

"It's us, it's us who used your power! It's not your responsibility! It's us who used your power to wipe out those who tried to destroy Orsta and make them our companions, all of this is We did it! We did it!!"

"Whoever has power bears responsibility."

However, facing the roar of the blue-haired boy, Fangzheng didn't even look at him, still staring at Wu La.

"In this city, all the residents of Orsta, 1.2 million people, became dead because of you. To be exact, you killed these 1.2 million people. So, you come It is most appropriate to decide their future, because it is your responsibility and your obligation."

"........."

Hearing this, Wu La was silent for a moment, then looked at Fang Zheng again.

"My lord, I would like to ask, what does it mean to become a ghost...?"

"To put it simply, it is the spirit body, which will maintain the appearance of the dead, but cannot see the sun, and can only live in the dark. They will have a cold chill, and they cannot coexist with the living, and the living cannot touch them. To them. Because this kind of cold will corrode living people, if you stay with ghosts for a long time, it's like staying alone in a cold cellar, and you will die sooner or later, of course... the degree is different."

"So, if Chiccoli turns into a ghost, will I never be able to touch him?"

While speaking, Wu La looked at the blue-haired boy beside him, which seemed to be his name.

"That's about it."

"Then... Lord God, can you turn me into a ghost too?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Wulla!"

Hearing this, the blue-haired boy shouted, but Wu La looked at him.

"Do you want to die?!! Do you want me to watch you die?!"

"But isn't that the truth?"

"………Hey?"

"I'm different from Chiccoli."

Wu La looked at the blue-haired boy, and said to herself.

"I have discovered since I was a child that Chiccoli has always been like this, and everyone else is like this, but I am different. I remember very clearly that I was just a small child, but every day when I woke up, I Before, I was only as tall as Chiccoli's waist, but now, I am only a little shorter than Chiccoli."

"........."

The girl who was raised by the dead has no common sense of the outside world at all. Unlike other people, she has no one who grows up with her by her side, no companions who are taller than her, and no one who has passed We met after a while, and said that you are more beautiful than before, and everything remains the same. The people I see, the people I meet, the people around me, everything is always the same, but only myself is different.

If this does not cause doubts, then it is not only natural, but probably a fool.

However, the girl in front of her was obviously much smarter.

"I know my eyes can have a certain effect on people, and I also know that you are trying to hide this from me, but I have never been clear about what I did. But I think it doesn't matter even if it is, since If everyone doesn’t want me to know, then it shouldn’t matter if I don’t know.”

"........."

Hearing this, the girls behind Fangzheng were dumbfounded, and Ai also stared at Wula with wide eyes in surprise.

"To be honest, in this world, I don't know exactly what murder is. Even if Lord Shenming told me this, I don't quite understand it. However, some people are relieved, while others sigh. With a sigh of relief, the people who were fighting each other with weapons stopped fighting and came to Orsta, and some people chose to go to the wilderness. However, everyone showed an expression as if they were liberated..."

While speaking, Wu La looked at Fangzheng.

"My lord, my existence... death, is it bad?"

"That's cowardice."

Fangzheng answered silently.

"The cowardice of mortals when they try to escape the rules of order. Of course, everyone will have their own reasons, but birth, old age, sickness and death are an integral part of order. This world is not naive enough to get whatever you want without paying the price. Want to live It is the instinct of any creature to go down, and the same is true for avoiding death. In the final analysis, what they want to obtain is eternity, but there is no eternity in this world. Everything will die one day, and death is to let them understand this truth, not to let them An excuse for them to keep running away."

Having said this, Fangzheng pointed to the blue-haired boy in front of him.

"How would you feel if I burned him here now? If you don't get it, then I'll make it clearer, you'll never see him again, he won't talk to you, smile at you , you will have no future, your call will no longer be answered by him, and he will disappear forever—this is the real death.”

Every time Fangzheng said a word, Wu La's expression became more painful. She stretched out her hand and pressed her chest.

"Is this... death?"

"That's right, death is what it is. It separates the dead from the living. The two sides are separated from each other and never see each other."

"This...is too painful!"

"However, it is precisely because of the fear of this pain that you cherish the other party's existence even more, don't you?"

"……………Hey?"

"Thinking that one day the other party may suddenly disappear and die suddenly, shouldn't we cherish the present with him? But after becoming immortal? Will the relationship still be so pure? Ten or twenty years may be no problem , one hundred years, two hundred years? Because neither side can die, will they still cherish each other by that time?"

Having said this, Fangzheng chuckled.

"But you are just a little girl after all, it's not yet this time, maybe after you live for hundreds of years, you will have a personal experience, so now... make a choice."

"........."

Facing Fangzheng's request, Wu La fell silent again.

"I...I don't know if I made the right choice."

"There is no right choice at all. Many times, the choices you make may produce completely different results from what you thought. You may regret 'why did I do this at the time' or you may be lucky." Well that's the time to do that 'The important thing is, you make the choice."

"........."

This time, Wu La was silent for a long time, and finally, she raised her head.

"I understand."

The road leading to the core area was as dark as ever, and even a little cold, but the people at the moment didn't seem to care about this.

"Mr. Fangzheng is really a god..."

Saten Renko walked behind, lowered her voice and spoke to Misaka Mikoto and the others, while the other girls also looked unacceptable.

"I really thought he was joking..."

Misaka Mikoto also had a look of not knowing what to say. Although they have always had a close relationship with Fang Zheng, it was because of this that Fang Zheng still felt that Fang Zheng was just joking when he said that he was a god. However, at that moment just now, they clearly felt that kind of power.

That kind of power that is almost irresistible in the bottom of my heart, far beyond the ordinary, is not a power that human beings can have, and even Shokuhou Misaki cannot give people this feeling. No matter how much she manipulates people's hearts, it is absolutely impossible to have this level of coercion.

But... still can't imagine it!

"Heizi, what do you think... Heizi?"

Thinking of this, Misaka Mikoto looked at Shirai Kuroko next to her, and subconsciously wanted to ask her opinion, but to Misaka Mikoto's surprise, Shirai Kuroko was silent with a complicated expression at the moment. As for Misaka Mikoto, it seems that she has never seen such an expression on Shirai Kuroko's face.

"Heizi? Are you okay?"

"Huh? Ah? My sis?"

Hearing Misaka Mikoto's call, Shirai Kuroko froze for a moment before recovering.

"Nothing, I'm just a little scared."

Having said this, Heizi once again looked towards Fang Zheng's back.

"That's right... just a little scared..."

Yesterday I dreamed that I was going on a trip, and then I got off the train. I managed to book a hotel with my mobile phone. I also saw a recommended restaurant next to the hotel. I wanted to eat steak. After putting down the things, I planned to go out to eat, but found that all the restaurants outside were closed, and then I remembered "ah, it's during the epidemic prevention period", and then woke up depressed...
