Chapter 2931 Childhood Shadow (Should Consider What Vegetables to Plant in Winter)

It has to be said that Defoe's speed is still very fast.

On the afternoon of the third day, Shizuku received a contact from Defoe, saying that he had already negotiated with the Makdara Monastery, and that he would give a response in the early morning of the same day as to whether to join forces.

That's why Shizuku brought Tamamomae and Asmaria here.

The Hudson River in the early morning was foggy and confused, Shizuku stood silently in front of the railing, staring at the river in front of him. And Tamamomae and Asmaria stood quietly behind her. Not far away, Defoe was still dressed as a gentleman, standing there quietly with two men who also wrapped themselves in windbreakers, as motionless as sculptures.

At this moment, the light of the headlights tore through the dim fog. Shizuku turned her head and saw a car driving out of the fog and slowly stopping in front of Defoe and the others.

Then the car door opened, and then a girl with blond shawl hair, a boy who was slightly shorter than her, with purple hair and skin, and a sister Yu with long red hair walked out.

And the moment Shizuku saw the blonde girl, she was stunned.

It turned out to be her.

Although she didn't wear the iconic blue monk's uniform, but wore clothes that looked similar to ordinary girls, Shizuku recognized her identity at a glance.

Rosette Christfa.

I see.

Thinking of this, Shizuku once again looked at Asmaria beside her.

By the way, Asmaria, Rosette, Crono... No wonder I always feel that this name is a bit familiar, so it is so, this is... "Sister of the Holy Gun"! ! !

At this moment, Shizuku finally understood what was going on.

"The Nun of the Holy Gun" --- If you want to talk about Fang Zheng's childhood shadow series, then "The Nun of the Holy Gun" must be ranked in the top three, and the other two are "Robot Mahoro" and "The Melody of the Fairy". Of course, the rankings are not First and foremost.

In fact, the story of the animation "Sister of the Holy Gun" itself is not very complicated. It tells the story of the nun Rosette and the demon Crono who signed a contract with her to eliminate demons and defend the Tao. If this is the case, then it is actually no different from many similar animations at that time. After all, like "The Shining Duo" or "Witch Hunter Robin", the protagonist has mysterious power and belongs to a mysterious organization. Then fight against the mysterious existence hidden in the darkness. This kind of story setting can also be regarded as the outline of the Japanese bad street style plot.

However, "The Nun of the Holy Gun" is different from other animations of the same type. In other words, the reason why it can be ranked in the top three of Founder's childhood shadows is --- its ending.

Unlike most animations where justice defeats evil in the end, the ending of the animation of "Sister of the Holy Gun" can be summed up in one sentence.

That is --- justice has failed, and evil has triumphed.

In other words, the protagonist dies and the villain wins.

Thinking of this, Shizuku stared at the chest of the blond nun Rosette, where there hung what looked like a pocket watch, and that was the prop she used to sign the contract with Crono. On weekdays, the demon Crono always maintains the image of a purple-haired boy, because his power has been suppressed. Only when Rosette liberates Crono's power can he regain his real body to fight.

However, this is not without a price. Every time Crono's power is released, it is at the cost of Rosette's lifespan. In fact, at the beginning of the story, Rosette may not live to be thirty years old.

Even so, she still chose to sign the contract in order to find her younger brother Joshua, who was captured by the devil at the beginning, and it is precisely because of this that Rosette became a nun to eliminate demons and defend the way.

And the demon who captured Rosette's brother was the Ain that Duke Defoe said -- no wonder Shizuku felt familiar with this name at first.

Up to now, Fang Zheng can't forget the ending of "The Nun of the Holy Gun". In the final battle with Ain, Rosette liberated Crono's power for the last time and killed Ain. Then they disappeared, and then they sat side by side in front of a hut, watching the sunset.

Rosette, who knew she was about to die, finally broke out in fear at this moment. She cried and hugged Crono tightly, shouting that she didn't want to die. And Crono also hugged her tightly, just like this amid Rosette's cries, the sun sank below the horizon.

And when the nuns found the two again, they had already cuddled each other and fell into an eternal sleep.

I have to say that this scene gave Fang Zheng a great shock at the time, because in the previous animations, although the protagonist would hesitate, or hesitate and fear. But in the end, they were all able to overcome all this and bravely face the difficulties and dangers ahead. Of course, it's not that the main character of the animation died with the BOSS at the end, but at that time they all seemed very calm and calm, as if their mission was over, and they could leave without complaint and regret, with a satisfied look.

However, Rosette's reaction was a completely anti-routine change. She was not like the protagonists that Fang Zheng saw before, watching the sunset with satisfaction and accepting her own death. She will also be afraid, afraid, and she doesn't want to die—frankly speaking, it is precisely because of this that Fang Zheng has such a deep and unforgettable memory of this ending.

Not only that…………………

Thinking of this, Shizuku shifted her gaze and looked at the red-haired lady behind Rosette, who was Shadra, the jewel witch. She joined Rosset's team in order to find her sister. And her older sister was brainwashed by Ain and became his subordinate.

Generally speaking, according to the routine, this kind of brainwashing leads to the plot of the sisters turning against each other. In the end, the brainwashing will be resolved and the two will be together again. Or the party who was brainwashed at the last moment instinctively protected his dear sister. But Shadra's ending is completely different. Like Rosette, she also encountered an anti-routine plot-in the end, her brainwashed sister failed to regain her sobriety, and in desperation, Shadra had no choice but to choose In a way that hurt both sides, he killed himself and his sister together.

It can be said that in "The Nun of the Holy Gun", except for Asmaria who survived in the end, everyone else died badly.

Not only that, but after that, Ain, who was originally killed, was resurrected again, wandering around and spreading darkness and fear in the world. This is tantamount to proving that the efforts of the protagonist and his party are worthless—although in reality, this is a very common ending. But isn’t something like animation just to realize dreams?

Just like online articles, what everyone wants is cool, if you insist on kneeling down to the truth, then don't blame the readers for turning their faces.

Thanks to the underdeveloped Internet at that time, otherwise I don’t know how many people would send blades to the production team.

This is why Shizuku thinks that Asmaria and Ian are very familiar, but can't remember it. An animation that sends out blades and is full of malice, the best way is to bury it in the bottom of my heart forever, never Thinking about it...that was just making myself uncomfortable.

To be honest, compared with "The Nun of the Holy Gun", many animations in the future will simply issue blades for the purpose of issuing blades. A lot of girls died, but none of them died so heartbreakingly, and even some were played. It's become a meme.

On the contrary, "Sister of the Holy Spear", strictly speaking, not many people died, but the strength of the blade and the depth of pain are simply not comparable to those animations of killing sisters and preaching in later generations.

Moreover, for a heroine like Rosette, no one will play her death as a meme and talk about it at every turn, and then there will be a bunch of bullets such as "Don't persecute XXXX" and "What did XXX do wrong?" screen. Instead, they will silently express their respect, and then... don't want to say anything.

To be honest, the popularity of "The Nun of the Holy Gun" is not high, and one of the reasons may be that everyone does not want to discuss such a sad and powerless story and ending.

Originally, Shizuku was not interested in cooperation, but after seeing that it was Rosette, she immediately cheered up.

Just kidding, with myself here, how could she let her go on the old path?

Even if it is to make up for previous regrets, I will not do this, okay!

As for that Ain......

Thinking of this, Shizuku narrowed her eyes, and a killing intent flashed in her eyes.

He is dead! !

At the same time Shizuku's thoughts turned, Sister Rosette also came in front of Duke Defoe, staring at him seriously. Just when the two parties were about to talk, another car suddenly drove up. Then a man in monastic uniform stepped out and came to Rosette's side.

"I'm Jillian from the West Bank Branch of Mark Dara Monastery, and Sister Kate has asked me to come here to assist you."

Having said this, the man nodded to the two and shook hands with them at the same time. Duke Defoe looked at them and asked.

"So, have you made a decision?"

Hearing Duke Defoe's inquiry, the man turned around and looked at the demon in front of him.

"Macdalla Abbey will abide by Sister Rosette's and Crono's decision."

"Oh, very good………"

Hearing this, Duke Defoe nodded, while Rosette stared at him.

"We have already come, but the agent on the ground you mentioned..."

"We've arrived."

Shizuku led Tamamomae and Asmaria through the fog and appeared in front of Deaver and Rosette. Seeing the black-haired girl in front of her, Rosette was taken aback.

"You are………"

"This is the Lord of the Monsters in the East."

Defoe smiled and introduced.

"To put it simply, it's about the same as our Demon King."

"Don't compare me to you demons."

Shizuku silently glanced at Duke Defoe, then stretched out her hand to Rosette in front of her.

"Hello, Sister Rosette. I'm Kasugano Shizuku. It's my first time meeting you. Please give me your advice."

"……………Hello."

Seeing Shizuku's outstretched hand, Rosette hesitated and shook hands.

"What is this...?"

"I rescued this girl by chance."

Of course Shizuku wouldn't let Defoe talk, she couldn't be trusted with the devil.

"Then Defoe came to the door and said that she was an agent on the ground and was currently being targeted by Ain. So he hoped that we could form a united front to fight against Ain. However, I personally have no trust in demons. It’s undeniable, so I hope that a third-party agency can come forward...it seems that he found you."

"So that's how it is."

Shizuku clarified the relationship between the two in a few words, which also made Rosette realize suddenly. When Defoe found them before, Rosette was very suspicious. He didn't understand why a demon duke insisted on joining forces with the Makdala Monastery.

After all, the monastery is the apostle of God, and the devil is the enemy of God. Even if both sides have the same enemy, it does not mean that they can work together.

Now Rosette finally understands the situation. Obviously, this oriental girl named Kasugano Shizuku is the key point. Because the agent on the ground is under her protection, even the Duke of Defoe dare not act rashly. What kind of title is the Lord of the Demon, but since Defoe said that the other party is similar to the Demon King, his power is obviously not something he can resist.

That's why he used this method to find Mark Dala Monastery for cooperation.

From this point of view, perhaps the problems they are facing are indeed quite serious.

"Okay, then let's talk about the key points."

After a brief exchange between the two sides, Duke Defoe coughed lightly, which attracted the attention of the two, and then he looked at the purple-haired demon behind Sister Rosette.

"Crono, Ain is looking for an agent on the ground, what exactly does he want to do?"
