Dragon Clan: Restart your life

When the clear singing echoed between the sky and the sea again.

The door to the Night Food Plain is crumbling.

A girl once said that since a moth that has never seen light in its life will burn the world for light, then a moth that is accustomed to light and warmth will burn itself to protect this warmth.

She said so.

I did it at the end too.

The moment he saw her jump off the plane, Sakurai Akira had already guessed that the girl in front of him had chosen a path that would soon burn him to death.

The Night Food Plain is about to open, and they have lost the best weapon to deal with the corpse guards. The only way to stop these monsters is -

Use yourself as bait.

This is the last [Song of the Siren]. She will use her body as bait to lure all the corpse guards into the Night Food Plain!

And in this familiar song, the memory that has been covered with thick dust for so long begins to fall away, opening an old chapter that has been lost for a long time.

…

…

The sun is dazzlingly white.

In the corner of the school wall covered with barbed wire, a girl with short hair had thick strips of cloth wrapped around her hands. She carefully stepped on the barbed wire and climbed up. Her white and tender skin was cut with blood marks but she remained silent until she climbed to the top.

She sat on the wall and looked at the world outside the wall, and the boy inside the wall looked at her.

The afternoon sun is diffused in the air, and the cicadas are chirping in the mountains and forests.

"What are you looking at? Is the scenery outside beautiful?" The boy raised his head and asked curiously, with some expectation and envy in his eyes.

The short-haired girl turned around, lay on the wall, looked down, waved to the boy, and asked loudly: "Do you want to come up too? I can lend you my gloves!"

The boy seemed a little moved. He took a small step forward, but soon became timid. He looked at the tightly wound barbed wire in front of him and remembered the harsh methods of the "teachers".

He gritted his teeth and shook his head, suddenly turned around and ran away.

The girl tilted her head, looking at the boy running away, muttering that he wouldn't tell the teacher, would he?

…

"Hi! Why did you run away last time?" The girl sat in the corner holding a plastic dinner plate.

The boy opposite was stunned for a moment, then looked around nervously, and then breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one noticed them.

"The school rules that boys and girls cannot sit together." He urged in a low voice, "You hurry up, or the teacher will find out."

The girl asked curiously: "Why can't boys and girls sit together?"

"Because..." The boy was speechless for a moment and couldn't explain the reason, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Because this is the school's rule, and the teacher said so."

"Teachers are not infallible. Last time we..." the girl said disapprovingly, but the anxious boy covered her mouth.

He looked around nervously, and after realizing that no one heard what the girl just said, he turned back and said seriously: "You can't speak ill of the teacher, or you will be put in solitary confinement."

The girl blinked, as if to say she understood.

Only then did the boy realize that he was still covering the other person's mouth and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Were you worried about me just now?" The girl's eyes sparkled.

"No!" the boy retorted subconsciously, "I'm just afraid that someone will hear it and report it, and then I will be unlucky with you!"

"Oh." The girl was silent for a long time and then said, "I heard that there is the sea on the other side of the mountain. Have you ever seen the sea?"

The boy was startled and shook his head.

"Then do you want to go and see it with me?" The girl invited him with a bright smile.

Her smile is as dazzling as the sky, and her flamboyant vitality and wantonness seem to penetrate right into her heart, and her colorful inner world can be seen.

The boy grimaced: "If the teacher finds out, he will be put in a solitary room. Why did you invite me?"

"Because you didn't tell the truth last time!" The girl stuck out her tongue, "I think you will be a good partner."

"partner?"

"That's what teammates mean." The girl clenched her fists and her big eyes flashed, "Come on, come on, let's go see the sea together!" "

"...No, I don't want to go into the solitary room anymore." The boy was silent for a long time, but still refused. He picked up the dinner plate and hurriedly left the corner.

…

"Mingjun Mingjun! Come and see!" The girl clenched her hands tightly, as if she was holding something, for fear that it would escape from her hands.

She hurried over, squatted in front of Sakurai Akira, and carefully spread her hands. In her palm lay a small, wrinkled white ball.

"What's this?"

"Ah? Why has it changed like this?" The girl scratched her head and introduced, "This is a dandelion. I just saw it in the courtyard. It seemed to have floated in from the outside. It was so beautiful at the time. It was a fluffy white ball. ."

"Dandelion?" The boy looked confused.

"You haven't even seen a dandelion, have you?" The girl touched his head and said sympathetically, "How pitiful."

The boy opened her hand in shame.

"Hiss—" A low, suppressed moan of pain rang out.

The boy was stunned and quickly grabbed the girl's hand, only to find that the five fingers of her right hand were full of cuts.

The girl said nonchalantly: "I was scratched by the wire when I was climbing the fence."

The boy said silently: "Why do you always climb on the wall? If the teacher finds out, you will be put in solitary confinement."

"I'm training!"

"train?"

"Mingjun, do you want to stay here forever and don't want to see the outside world?" the girl asked, "one day I will escape from here."

The boy was so frightened that he quickly sealed her mouth. Fortunately, this was an unnoticed corner and no one heard the girl's bold remarks.

"Well... I will definitely... um... escape..." The girl struggled hard to show her determination.

The boy said angrily: "Can you stop saying this all the time?"

"Mingjun, don't you want to go somewhere?" The girl blinked.

"...No." The boy said angrily.

"How pitiful..."

The girl showed sympathy again.

"Then where do you want to go?" the boy asked shyly.

"Tokyo!" the girl shouted and raised her hands.

"What do you want to do in Tokyo?"

"My home is in Tokyo!"

"Your family is in Tokyo?" The boy was stunned, then shook his head and said, "So what if you are here? Your parents have abandoned you a long time ago. Everyone here is the same."

"No." The girl's little face suddenly became serious, "My father told me that he will come to pick me up sooner or later!"

"What about others?" the boy said unconvinced, "You are also eleven years old this year, right? You have been here for six years."

"Mingjun, why do you deny others so easily?" The girl stared at him, her black and white eyes staring at him, "Maybe he is looking for me all over Japan, but this country is so big, it is very difficult to find here. It’s difficult, he’s just an ordinary person, it’s very hard to not only find this place but also be prepared to take me out.”

She stood up, opened her hands and raised her head, slowly spinning on the lawn, the sun falling on her beautiful side face.

Her voice seemed to come from far away.

"Maybe Mingjun, your parents are also working hard. How can there be parents in this world who don't love their children?"

The boy stared blankly at that corner of the sky.

Are his parents trying hard to pick him up under a certain sky?

"Mingjun!" The girl stretched out her hand to him, her pupils seemed to be shining brightly, "Let's escape together, let's confirm together whether they have given up on us! Even if they give up on us, we can still take the train to go far, far away A place where there will be cherry blossoms, dandelions, and the sound of the ocean tide... Mingjun, do you like to eat Taiyaki?"

"...Why did you suddenly switch to Taiyaki?"

The boy couldn't understand the girl's thoughts, but he couldn't help but swallow.

This school doesn't prepare taiyaki for them.

"We can try all kinds of delicious food on the way to escape." The girl clenched her fists, her eyes sparkling, "I like Taiyaki the best!"

"Do you have money?"

"Money?" The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, "If it doesn't work out, we can run around while working, but we can't stay in one place for too long."

"Forget it...I don't want to run." The boy lowered his head in frustration.

"Why? Are you willing to stay here all your life?" The girl held the boy's face in her hands and moved forward. Under her long eyelashes, the boy's face was reflected in her clear eyes.

"If you are caught, you will be treated as a loser and killed." The boy's body trembled slightly.

He is afraid of death.

"Do you want to live in this school all your life, or take a trip that you won't regret?" The girl whispered in his ear, "Instead of living like a mole in the darkness, why not let us break out of the cocoon together? No matter whether it’s a moth or a butterfly that emerges in the end, we can all fly far away.”

"Does it matter even if it ends with putting out a fire?" the boy asked in a low voice.

"Maybe it's a butterfly, but not necessarily." The girl wrinkled her nose, "Think of the best!"

The boy was silent. He hesitantly looked up at the familiar corner of the sky above his head.

Will one day he will escape from here and rumble all the way north on a train, just to pursue the sky he longs for?

"……OK."

The boy whispered as the sun pierced through the forest leaves and fell in front of the corner.

…

"Hey, did you hear? The boy who was with that crazy girl has a high fever."

"high fever?"

"Well, I heard that it rained all night, and now I'm so feverish that I'm gibbering. I guess my brain has been burned out."

"Why did it rain all night? Aren't the bedroom doors locked with iron bars?"

"I was punished by the teacher. It seems that I contradicted the teacher."

"Confronted...Teacher? Sure enough, they have been playing with that crazy girl for a long time, and their brains are not normal. I guess the next time the law enforcement officers come, it will be their death."

"It's not just a contradiction, it seems that something from the management department has been lost, and the teacher suspects that he took it."

"He still steals things?"

"It's said to be a map, compass or something? Not sure. I just heard that the teacher asked if he got it. He refused to admit it at first, but then he admitted it for some reason..."

"Admit it yourself? As long as you refuse to admit it, unless the teacher searches you out of your dormitory, he will at most doubt you. What does he think?"

"Who knows what he is thinking, but he is in a bad situation this time. The teacher in the management office said that there is still time to settle the score. I am afraid that he will really not be able to pass the evaluation at the end of the year..."

Muffled exclamations and conversations came from around the corner.

The girl standing against the corner wall lowered her head, her gaze fell on her toes, her hands were tangled behind her back helplessly, and in the palms of her hands was an old-fashioned compass.

She looked up confused and panicked, like a frightened bird.

The sky in the distance outside the window is still blue. It is the sky she has longed for for many years, and it is also the freedom she has been searching for.

But this moment.

The girl knew that she might never be able to pursue that sky again.

…

"Have you heard? That crazy girl jumped over the wall and escaped from the school! She ran into the mountains alone!"

"She...she really escaped?"

"Really or not, did she succeed?"

"How could it be possible? It seems that she got lost in the mountains and was caught. It is said that she almost starved to death when she was caught! The searchers also found something on her that the management office had lost before..."

"Tsk, no wonder..."

The boy carried the rice bowl and walked to a familiar corner. People in the restaurant gathered in twos and threes and whispered, and the sound reached his ears.

Someone climbed over the wall and escaped from the school? How awesome.

The boy was thinking a little divergently.

Alas, it's a pity that he was caught again.

Speaking of which, why do you feel like everyone looks at him strangely?

The boy frowned and glanced around.

This is the most corner of the restaurant. Normally, no one would pay attention to this place, but at this moment, most people in the restaurant are paying attention to him, and their eyes are a little strange.

He looked confused and didn't know why everyone looked at him like that.

After thinking hard to no avail, he lowered his head and started cooking again.

He didn't want to think about it anymore. The doctor said that he was recovering from a serious illness and he needed to eat more to make up for the shortfall.

He just didn't know if it was because he hadn't been to the restaurant for a while, but he always felt that something was missing in this corner.

He raised his head and stared blankly at the empty seat opposite.

This is the corner of the restaurant. The wind from the window cannot blow and the sun cannot fall here. No one except him would choose this location. It has almost become his exclusive dining table.

Everywhere there are areas where the sun does not shine, just like in a lush courtyard, where parasol trees block out the sun and cast shade, bees and butterflies are constantly coming and going among the flowers in bloom, and only the remote corners of the walls are only green. Moss grows freely, and larvae accustomed to darkness spin their cocoons in solitude.

But now he looked up, and his heart felt empty for no reason. It seemed that there was supposed to be a person sitting opposite him, but now it was empty...

The most fatal thing is that he can't remember who that person is.

Really...is there such a person?

…

…

Mako Miyamoto jumped over Akira Sakurai's head.

Her figure was outlined in the light and wind like a blooming platycodon flower, or like a dandelion floating from afar that day.

Black snake shadows chased her figure, just like a group of snakes attracted by the beauty of flowers, chasing her footsteps to the end of the world together.

The snakes passed by Sakurai Akira, but they were no longer greedy for his flesh and blood, they just chased the girl's singing.

Akira Sakurai finally remembered.

He had seen Zhenzi during those years deep in the mountains.

In that ever-gloomy school, there was a maverick girl.

Compared to her peers who are gloomy and depressed and live cautiously, she is an anomaly.

What is an alien?

She just looked out of place compared to everyone else, everyone else accepted her fate, but she didn't.

She always showed a beautiful and charming smile to everyone, and her eyes always fell into the distance that should not be reached, so she seemed so abrupt in that cold and depressing school, like a colorful and vivid figure emerging from a black and white picture scroll.

Everyone there needs to learn to lie, because the price of telling the truth is sometimes very high, maybe a life.

But that girl never, she always blurts out whatever comes to her mind, never thinking about the consequences of doing so.

For example, she would loudly tell the principal at the morning meeting at school that she wanted to go to Hokkaido to see the sea, or go to the Cherry Blossom Promenade next to Chidorigafuchi in Tokyo to see the cherry blossoms...

Everyone looked at her in shock, like she was looking at some kind of monster.

The adults angrily locked her in a solitary room, while children of the same age pointed at her and whispered at her innocence and absurdity.

To the ghost who has long been accustomed to the darkness and has accepted his fate, her presence is not dazzling, just dazzling.

Gradually, as she was imprisoned again and again, the girl's short hair turned into waist-length hair, which seemed to be the only evidence of her growth.

She gradually became silent and spoke less, but she could still face everyone with a gentle smile, but this gentleness could no longer penetrate deep into her heart, just like the air under the warm sun in winter. No matter how bright the sun was, the air would never Cold and thin.

She gradually became obedient and became a good child in the eyes of the teacher. The price was that she no longer told anyone that she wanted to see the outside world, and she no longer climbed over the high wall, but occasionally stood on tiptoe in a deserted place. Feet, looking into the distance that was never hers.

How many people will you meet in your life, and how many people can you remember?

Sakurai Akira looked at the beautiful figure that seemed to be about to travel far away, and his mind went blank.

Why would such a precious memory be forgotten because of a high fever?

And...where's Mako? Has she forgotten too? Why...hasn't she come to him?

Sakurai Akira suddenly vibrated the pale dragon wings behind him, soared into the sky, and chased forward with all his strength.

He couldn't describe the emotions flowing in his heart at this moment, which were sadness, powerlessness, regret... He suddenly wanted to cry, and the tears flowed on his face, blurring his sight of the girl, and he wiped them away in panic With tears in his eyes, he was afraid that the girl would completely disappear from his eyes in the next second.

He roared hysterically, and the roar echoed across the sky and the sea, and then rose all the way to the sky. He was so sad and angry, like the epitome of thousands of mortal beings who could not catch up with time or fate.

At this moment, he finally understood what the Lord said to him in the Bronze Hall.

People will always yearn for the distant sky in this life.

There may be the person you love standing under that sky, there may be your favorite taiyaki, or it may be full of your favorite flowers.

You look at the longing sky, silently accumulating the power to fly, but often before you grow wings, that sky no longer exists.

The mobile cart selling taiyaki goes to the next night market, the flowers bloom and fall for another year but they never bloom for you, and the one you love embarks on a long journey.

You are the only one left where you are.

One day you finally grow up and have wings that can fly to anywhere in the world, but where should you fly?

You have embarked on a lonely journey to so many places, but no city belongs to you.

It takes a long time for you to realize that the world is so big, but what we need from beginning to end is only a small part.

What we need is never the whole sky, but the people who can fly into the sky with us.

As long as the person who can fly to the distant sky with you is still around, you will eventually find a new sky, a sky suitable for your life.

Under that sky, dandelions will sway far away with the wind. The wind brings the smoke of Taiyaki fireworks, and the sound of the ocean tide under the cliff echoes between heaven and earth...

He understood, but it seemed it was too late.

Many years later, the boy flapped his dragon wings desperately to save the girl who loved him.

His body, which was constantly being eroded by the serum, was already weak, and his whole body was filled with acupuncture pain, but he had no time to feel the pain, and he would be late to grab the girl's hand.

His bloodline is almost collapsed. He has overdrawn too much power. The blood mark from Lu Mingfei is not omnipotent. That is why what he initially obtained was only a mutilated version of [Baqi]. His own body was not qualified to carry it. The complete [Baqi].

He is still a mortal, still an ant unable to change his destiny.

The pale dragon wings began to wither, falling like ashes after burning, but he still tried his best to flap the dragon wings. This was the only thing he could do at this moment.

That girl is burning herself for this city.

The boy was also burning himself to catch the girl's hand.

Just like...

【destiny? 】

In the darkness, someone whispered.

Sakurai Akira's extremely weak body woke up in an instant. Every joint opened like a valve. Unparalleled power fell from the sky, washing through his blood vessels and nervous system like a torrent, reaching every part of his limbs. A corner!

At this moment, countless words or spells echoed in his mind, with the atmosphere of the ancient wilderness!

That is……

The second blood source mark!

Among the countless incantations, someone seemed to be asking him——

[What do you think is destiny? 】

…

…

"At the end of the thousand years, Satan will be released from prison..."

Mars, who was watching the thunder falling from the sky, lowered his noble head.

He took off his top hat, and tears fell silently from his eyes. He paid the highest respect in the direction of Lei Guang in the ancient ritual of the Dragon Clan, his voice was hoarse and trembling with excitement.

"Long time no see, my respected...Your Majesty."

"You...shouldn't have come back!"

…

…

In the Bronze Palace

"This world is always so cruel, so cruel that I want to crush it."

Lu Mingfei stood up on the steps with a cold expression. He reached forward, as if to grasp the power that was so close at hand, and then crush everything that made people feel painful and powerless.

"But this world is so beautiful. Every bit of desperate courage when forced to the end is rooted in the seeds of hope."

He turned back, looked at the figure on the throne, and said softly: "I have failed to catch up with everything I cherish. This time, I hope you can help me. It has nothing to do with the bet, just because we are one."

On the throne.

The monarch in the sky slowly stood up.

The world fell into gray and white.

He came to the side of the human named Akira Sakurai in one step.

Countless years later, he opened his eyes again to look at this strange yet familiar world, his eyes still indifferent. It seemed that even if he saw this world that once belonged to him again, it would not be able to create a ripple in his heart.

He lowered his head, his pupils seemed to be flowing with lava.

It's so boring.

The boring world, the boring souls, the boring emotions, everything is as uninteresting as ever.

But he could ignore all the people and things in the world, but he could not ignore the rogue guy named Lu Mingfei who would not leave his house even if he went there.

"destiny?"

He seemed to be talking to himself.

Then there was a thunder.

High in the sky, that thunder split open the gray world.

When Sakurai Akira recovered but was still in unclear consciousness, someone seemed to say eight words in his ear.

That is exactly the word spirit represented by the second blood source mark, and it is also the beginning of all word spirits, the original source of the word spirit sequence list.

It is——[Emperor]!

He lowered his eyes, looking down at the chaotic world with overwhelming majesty and anger.

Endless thunder came to the world with his gaze, crushing the endless wind and rain here tonight.

At that moment everything collapsed, and all the powerless fates were lost in the violent thunder.

He said--

I am the only one in heaven and under heaven.
