Chapter 411 Chapter 409 HE Cicada Time Rain
Chapter 411 Four hundred nine·HE·Cicada Rain
——The so-called sense of departure, whose end point is controlled death.
Once people anticipate their own death and accept it calmly, they experience a strong sense of stability.
Because they know that before that, all actions have meaning.They will know their end very clearly, and their course of action will remain the same, from life to death.
Naraku has fully experienced this sense of departure for more than four days.
As if picking up a backpack and starting a long journey, her mood became extremely calm.
During these days, she thought of many things.
For example, when I was a child, there were voices from my family.
Since he grew up all the way, he has practiced his marksmanship hard every day.
When I boarded that ship with a mission on my back, I felt gloomy in my heart.
And, when captured by the princess, he lost his vitality and suffered from the pain of being sucked dry of his soul.
and also……
In the most desperate moment, she saw the outstretched hand in the darkness like a thick cloud.
Hand outstretched to her.
The owner of that hand was still standing in front of her, just like every time she saw him.
She stared at him for a long time through a narrow layer of morning mist and moisture.The morning light fell on his face like cutting the water and milky white petals.
She is leaving.
Although she had only just learned his real name.
"Su Mingan." She said, "I want to go home."
"Afterwards... I will have someone send you back." Su Mingan said.
Naraku smiled:
"When I'm alive, it's like I'm never going to die...and when I'm dead, it's like I've never lived."
"..."
"Help me see the future of this world, okay?" Naraku said: "If you can come back from that cloud city, help me... take care of Duoya, okay? I don't know anyone here, She's the best person for me."
"..."
"Now that I think about it, the happiest time in my life was actually when I saw you come to save me." Naraku said softly:
"You are the prince, and I am the enchanted princess."
After saying this, she suddenly noticed that her vision began to blur again.
A strong sense of weakness climbed up, and she had a very obvious premonition.
She lowered her eyes, saw the pale color, and began to climb up her fiery red hair little by little.
Under the long fiery red hair that symbolizes youth and flamboyance, her extraordinarily slender eyes are gradually showing bloodshot eyes.
Under the blowing of the warm wind, her hair began to turn white and withered, her beautiful eyes gradually became cloudy, the whites of the eyes tended to turn yellow, and the originally fair skin became even more chapped and wrinkled.
It was as if the waterfall of time had completely fallen at this moment, and her vitality was quickly drained away in just a few seconds.
The time for flashbacks has passed.
The morning light swayed on her gradually aging face, and there was a little water in her eyes.
The unstoppable passage of life is being staged in front of Su Mingan and hundreds of millions of viewers. This is the unstoppable aging of manpower, and the solemn process of life's silent end.
At the last moment of her life, Naraku saw that the person in front of her was finally slightly moved, and the other person's overly calm face finally had a slight change.
When she was young, like her peers, she wrote sad poems.
She said that if one day she was going to leave, she hoped that, like a deep scar on the bone, a fire on the pyre, she wanted her name to leave a mark on people's hearts.
She hoped that she didn't want any cremation or burial, but only hoped that someone could hold her tightly with all her strength and build a hot tombstone for her.
But obviously, this is just "poetry".
like her,
It's just an "npc" who can't leave this world.
She hugged the flowers tightly in her hands.
The warm wind blew her long and pale hair, and the young and beautiful face that was originally like a red rose blooming in the fire gradually showed the marks of time.
The young lady who was once young, vigorous, and as bright as the wind suddenly showed a smile.
"I won't follow you to that cloud city."
Facing the blue sky and the peaceful Praia, she smiled softly.
"You must..." she said: "Always remember Miss Ben, always."
next moment,
Paleness completely dyed her hair, she closed her eyes, and instantly melted into the light wind.
"Su Mingan."
"You have to remember..." Her eyelashes trembled: "...my name is Naluo."
……
The bright fiery red was gone.
……
【You guy, let me tell you——I won't be a fool anymore, and I won't love you anymore! 】
[You have to remember, in this world, there will no longer be a woman who loves you as much as I do! 】
[You can use this life to regret it! 】
……
【Like it?Want me to take you?But my mother said that this thing will become my dowry, it is very precious...]
【—Rin, look, look, do I look good now? 】
[What are you going to do, take Miss Ben with you.Since you restored this young lady to her youthful beauty, I can give you a chance. 】
[I think even if I am so old and deaf, I won't be unable to hear your name clearly. 】
【Then, you must take me to the city on the cloud, that is an adventurer's natural fantasy since I was a child!I am the young lady of the Mill family! 】
……
【——What happened to your leg? 】
【—Well, ah.In short, it's not easy to walk, I'm tired. 】
……
【—Naraku, turning other people's memory into your own tombstone is the most meaningless act. 】
【—But, she just... wants to go home. 】
……
【Give it to you. 】
……
[I don't remember my name. 】
[But I remember you. 】
……
[Take me... home, okay? 】
……
……
Warm winds blow over the land, time passes.
At noon, a small stone monument was erected on the hillside in the central area of Playa.
Duoya collapsed on the stone tablet, tears streaming down her face.
Beside her stood a group of soulhunters dressed in black, among them was a young man who had just fallen in love with Naluo these few days and planned to confess his love.
They closed their eyes and bowed their heads, as if they were doing an ordinary farewell ceremony.
In this land, the handover of life and death is very common.
However, the deceased this time was a little special.
She left in a completely deviant way at an inappropriate age.
Holding a carving knife, Su Mingan engraved the poem on Naluo's paper on her tombstone.
The crooked young wooden sculpture fell beside him, the small stone tablet was surrounded by flowers, and there was a strand of white hair that had not been picked up on the ground.
Su Mingan's hands were not steady, and he was not good at carving things on stones, but with the help of Ming State, great strength helped him carve the small characters on it little by little.
He carves very carefully, like a finished work of art.
After carving, he put down the carving knife and wiped the dust on the stele with a cloth.
What was buried under the stele was actually just a strand of white hair from Naraku.
Her body will be sent to the merchant ship in Praia, and sent back to her hometown with the caravan, fulfilling her long-cherished wish.
...she always wanted to go home.
He stood up and turned around.
"Let's go, it's almost noon." Noel who just arrived said, "Today is the last day, we should go to that city."
"There are five tulip hearts here, one for each person, but the fifth member of our team, Mo Wen, he still hasn't shown up." Su Mingan distributed the tulip hearts in his hand, which can resist the poisonous gas of Yunshang City. .
Su Lin was able to resist the poisonous gas in Yunshangcheng before, thanks to the help of the sea monster's soul, but now she has disappeared, and he must need the heart of tulips to defend against the poisonous gas.
"I failed to bring Mo Wen back. He is missing." Lu Shu shook his head. "I will contact him after I go back. After the dungeon is over, he should be forcibly teleported back."
"Waste of team quota." Noel said from the side.
The conflict between him and Lu Shu still exists.This week, Nuo Er has not pointed at Lu Shu's nose and scolded, so Lu Shu is not as depressed as before.
"I admit that the existence of Mo Wen is really not helpful." Lu Shu said, "I made a mistake in my decision. I'm sorry."
"..." Noel stopped talking.
"Let's go." Lin Yin took the initiative to smooth things over: "I saw that the pier is very lively, with banners, fireworks, balloons, and the crowds are packed. It should be a send-off celebration for you, Su Mingan."
Su Ming'an recalled the farewell scene 60 years ago in Su Lin's Memory Stone.
The scene this time should be similar to the last time.
"Let's go."
Su Mingan turned his head and glanced at Duoya who was wiping tears.
"Don't cry." He said, "She doesn't want to see it either."
"...I see." Duoya wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Facing the group of people who were about to turn around and leave, her straight back suddenly bent down.
At the same moment, the soul hunters around her also got shorter. They bent down, lowered their heads, and bowed deeply to Su Mingan and his party.
"Master Su Lin, thank you...no, you, for everything you have done for Praia." Duoya bowed deeply.
"En." Su Mingan responded very lightly.
When he left with Noel and the others, his gaze was still fixed on the favorability reminder that sounded not long ago.
[NPC (Naraku), Favorability: 90+10 (Love Line)]
[Current Favorability Evaluation: Eternal Love]
……
Su Mingan remembered.
In his first week, when he activated the power-holder skill on Naraku, the system displayed yes.
[Current favorability has been reached (friendship line·highest)]
then,
Her love for Su Rin was clearly just a "line of friendship".
"..."
He folded up the piece of paper with the poem written on it, put it together with the wood carving left by Naluo, and put it in the two adjacent grids in the backpack.
At this moment, he heard a prompt from the system.
"Ding dong!"
[(Naraku) HE ending progress: 100%]
……
【You have reached the (Naraku) character ending: HE·Cicada Rain】
[(Cicada Shiyu): "You must... always, always, remember me."
"Remember my name."
"...My name is Naraku."]
……
Su Mingan closed the system interface, left here without saying a word.
In the lively celebration and farewell of the people, the three of him and Nuoer passed the river with the stream flowing, and were sprinkled with flower petals and colored silk cloth.
The warm wind flows through the lively crowd.
The gray-haired old lady in black, leading her daughter and granddaughter, quietly stood in the corner of the street among the farewell crowd, holding a bottle of old rice wine with daisies in her hand.
Old Man Cliff, squinting his eyes, led a group of surviving soulhunters to see him off here.In his hand, he held the wooden box containing the medals of Esker and Karoza during his lifetime.
The female pirate named Eileen seemed to have found a new sexual object. She leaned on the man's shoulder with a lazy posture, but her eyes were always fixed on Su Mingan and his party.
Sevia, Archerev, and Lucia were hidden in the darkness. After watching Su Mingan and his party leave, they retreated silently amidst the cheers of the crowd.
The brilliant afternoon sun shone on the entire group of people, with a bright color like silk.
They bid farewell to the people in Praia and walked to the church with the teleportation array of the city on the cloud.
At the same time, at the pier, the siren sounded and crowds gathered.Parting crew members and passengers waved to family and friends on the deck.
This is a ship carrying the survivors of the shipwreck of the Yate Empire back home. After the feast at sea, they have the opportunity to go home.
When the passengers walked into the cabin slowly, a dark coffin decorated with bright red roses was carefully carried onto the giant ship.
It lay quietly in the cabin, with a fiery red spear tied to it.
"Om-"
With a sound, the giant ship set off with a long sound.
The flag representing the Yate Empire fluttered on the ship, and the giant ship was about to sail across the vast sea and head towards the distant sky.
With its stable construction, it is the most solid boat model in Praia.
Like an unsinkable pearl.
……
The cool sea breeze blows across this land full of pain.
It skimmed the refuge ships and island walls in the south, the barbecue joints, bungalows, and a sewing machine in front of the window in the east.
It passed through the royal city in the northern district, where the newly-appointed captain of the knights in golden armor was marching in formation with the knights, and the nobles discussed and elected a new king.
It brushes people's cheeks full of signs of time, stays in the stream full of petals, and walks through the dark alleys full of garbage...
It came to an unusual hillside near the central city.
On the ordinary hillside, stands an unusual stone tablet.
On the stele, unprofessional sculptors used extremely unprofessional techniques to carve densely packed small characters with great care.
It was not the name of the deceased, nor the date of her birth and death, but a very beautiful poem from another world that she had heard before.
……
【—Don't stand and cry at my grave. 】
[I'm not there,]
[I didn't fall asleep. 】
【I am, thousands of spring breeze blowing by,】
【I am, the shining light on the snow,】
【—When you wake up in the silent dawn, 】
【You will see me spread my wings and fly high. 】
【The warm and shining star, shining on the quiet sleep,】
[Singing birds exist in all goodness. 】
【Like, the soft starlight in the dark night,】
[It's as peaceful as a bird hovering freely. 】
……
[...don't stand by my grave and weep,]
[I'm not there,]
[I didn't fall asleep. 】
……
[If you can, please always, always remember me. 】
【... My name is Naraku. 】
