The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

The wind whimpered softly in my ears, with the sharpness of the air being torn apart.

A flash of blood-red suddenly lit up in his eyes as the world was spinning. Yayi knew that it was the lightning that never stopped during the day. However, the lightning arrived first, and the thunder always came later.

But today was different. Today, she probably wouldn't have the chance to hear the thunder again.

Meiyi's body rolled in the air, but she surprisingly didn't feel fear.

Rather, on the contrary, in this final moment, all she felt was incomparable freedom. She can stretch her body to her heart's content in the air and assume various falling postures she likes with the help of the wind. She doesn't have to care about her father's evaluation or the eyes of her classmates and teachers. No need to respond to any expectations, no need to respond to any scrutiny.

She was going to die, and that would be the end of it all, the opposite of the reality of existence.

She suddenly felt that this way of dying was the best gift to her. At least she could experience the feeling of flying freely before death. This was the last happiness that could not be brought by suffocation or bullets.

It's just that it's still a bit selfish after all...

Without a good goodbye, Kiana would be sad, Bronya and Xier would be sad, father would be sad, Mikael...who should he be sad for?

Everyone will still feel a little sad, right?

Really?

"I don't think so. It's possible that everyone will just clap and applaud - ah, the witch who destroyed the entire Changkong City is finally dead."

"!"

Meiyi took a deep breath, almost thinking it was her imagination, but when she blinked, she seemed to have truly entered a new world.

However, it was pitch black all around, without any light.

But...since there is no light, how can we feel the darkness? Is it because I have seen light before?

Where is this place? The world after death? I thought it would hurt...

"You, a crybaby, have too many inner dramas, don't you? Don't worry, you're not dead yet, at least not at this moment!"

"Who are you……"

The moment Mei blurted out her own voice, she understood the identity of the other party.

With such a familiar voice, if her mother hadn't given birth to twins, there wouldn't have been a third person.

"You are...the Herrscher!"

"Oh! The reaction is not slow either."

The darkness in front of Meiyi's eyes seemed to be suddenly mixed with some purple, as if some tiny purple gravel was mixed into the dark quicksand. As the sound sounded, the gravel flowed slowly, and it seemed that it took a long time, and then It seemed that for just a moment, the dark sea of ​​sand appeared in front of Mei Yi's eyes, forming a purple ring the size of a human head.

Mei Yi suddenly understood that the reason why she felt darkness here was because there was indeed light here. The darkness in her eyes was actually just an extremely dark purple.

She didn't know whether to cry or laugh. It was a time like this, but these were the things she was thinking about. It was indeed ridiculous.

But this was just the beginning. Then, on the outer layer of the ring, a larger purple ring with a fractured edge gradually emerged.

In this way, the purple light became brighter and gradually outlined the human figure in front of the ring.

It seemed that "she" was lying on the ground originally, and had no intention of taking any action after noticing Mei Yi's arrival.

Until there was light there, she put her hands on the ground and lifted her upper body up little by little.

The long hair like a waterfall hung weakly to the ground, and the color of the hair complemented the light edge coated with purple light. Further down, there were just simple lines drawn by light, but Mei Yi was no stranger to this.

It's so strange. Human beings obviously can't know their true appearance for the rest of their lives, but if a body exactly like their own is placed in front of someone, no one will admit it.

So wonderful... In the past, it might have been enough to make people smile, but not now, not here, not Mei.

"What are you going to do? Here...where is it?"

She looked at the Herrscher in front of her warily. She should fall into a puddle of flesh after experiencing this last period of freedom. This is the price she paid for this last freedom, and it is also the sin she should atone for.

But now she actually appears here...

"What? Now you don't think this is the world after death?"

The Herrscher teased softly, Mei Yi is also a strange person. For most of the day, she has regarded the world around her as the world after death countless times, which makes people... laugh out loud.

"I was hoping so, but since you're here, I think it's better to forget it. I don't want to be with you after death."

"Ah, it seems that you hate me. It's understandable. After all, from your perspective, I can be regarded as killing your second mother."

Mei Yi took a deep breath and tried to calm down her mood. She hated Herrscher's understatement, not to mention what she blurted out was Mei Yi's pain.

Meiyi suppressed the anger in her heart. This emotion was unnecessary when facing the existence in front of her.

However, the next moment, her anger was ignited again——

"Is it just because of this? Do you think it's just because of this?"

Of course it's not just Mebius, there are millions of people in Changkong City, that's all.

But what does that have to do with the Herrscher? She is not a human being. Do humans really care how many chimpanzees die in the African forests?

"It seems that you finally got here and just want to say these insignificant words, Raiden Meiyi."

There was a hint of fatigue in the Herrscher's voice, but she quickly covered it up.

"What I want to say and what I want to ask have been said before, but you yourself didn't answer me."

After Mei Yi said this, there was no response for a long time. She stared at the outline of Herrscher's body again, and saw that she was motionless, as if time had stopped.

"Ahem...heh! What do I want to do? I just want to mock you for the last time, you crybaby."

"What? This time, you have nothing to do, right? Die here with me, Herrscher!"

There is no need to explain too much, where exactly is this place? Why hasn't it taken so long? In fact, these are not important, Mei Yi has taken this last step, she does not believe that Herrscher has any other way to save her life.

"Pfft! Hahahaha! Raiden Meiyi, are you underestimating me? Do you think I'm helpless now? Do you still remember how you came to the rooftop?"

The corners of Meiyi's eyes twitched. That was the first and only time she begged the Herrscher for help.

She wanted to come to the rooftop, she wanted to end it all, but she knew that Bronya, Xier and Kiana who were guarding the door would not let her leave.

So she begged the Herrscher to help her, and the Herrscher responded.

So, before she could react, she turned into a piece of lightning and appeared on the rooftop.

"Hey, crybaby, did anyone tell you that thunder and lightning are also a kind of light?"

Yes, since the Herrscher could turn her body into a bolt of lightning and take it to the rooftop at that time, she must be able to do the same now.

only……

"You can't do it now."

Mei said firmly.

"If you can do it, why are you telling me this now? I took the initiative to let you control my body that time, but you can't do it now, right?"

Mei Yi suddenly felt that she seemed to be getting calmer and calmer. Perhaps it's because after taking the step of life and death, all attachment, all pain, all unwillingness, all... everything was left behind and could no longer be interfered with or restored.

But for the lawyer, this is obviously bad news.

"Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm leaving."

Meiyi turned around silently, and took steps forward before the Herrscher could even answer.

She didn't know how to leave here, but her instinct told her that if she wanted to leave, she could.

Therefore, it is good to step forward boldly, and it is also a relief to meet the inevitable death.

"Hmph...hehe...hahaha! When did you become so brave? Think about it carefully. If you go forward, I won't be able to save you!"

"Maybe I need someone to save me, but it's definitely not you."

Seeing Mei Yi moving away from him step by step, Luzhe couldn't help but become anxious.

"Thunder Mei, are you crazy! Do you really want to die!"

Meiyi didn't answer, but still walked forward step by step.

"You are not so brave at all, you are simply afraid! You are afraid that if you continue to talk to me, you will be shaken and regret your previous decision, aren't you? You are still the crybaby, the one who encounters things you don't like. When you encounter something you are afraid of or something you don’t want to face, you will just cry and run away!”

Meiyi's footsteps stopped.

"So what? So what?"

This was the first time Mei Yi cried since she entered this world.

Her pretended determination and pretended bravery were so easily shattered by the Herrscher who knew her best.

"What's wrong with running away from something you don't like! Let alone death..."

She yelled and punched the darkness in front of her, but wherever her fist passed, there was nothing but nothingness, and she couldn't hit anything.

"Who is not afraid of death? Who dares to say that he likes death? But I did it, I took this step... Haha, Herrscher, it's useless no matter how unwilling you are. I won't be fooled by you. , I will not hand over my body, take your anger and die with me!"

Saying these words, Mei Yi took another step forward, but this step was different from the previous one. It was heavier, as if countless tentacles were wrapped around her calves, then her knees, then her thighs... In the end, she I don’t know what happened, but the step I was supposed to take was suddenly pulled back.

She finally stopped where she was.

"Haha! Who said you want me to die with her just now? And who is yelling here, saying what's wrong with running away from things you don't like? You guy, why are you so inconsistent?"

"You can say whatever you want, but I won't be deceived by you."

"Bewitch? You actually think I'm bewitching you? Then I can't bear this reputation for nothing. It's time to bewitch you. Come on, the reason why you want to die is because you feel that you have killed so many people. Continue If you continue to live and let me take control of your body, more people will be killed. Are the three girls who are with you the first to bear the brunt? "

"..."

"The fact that you think so much about them and humanity really touches me, an inhuman thing. But are you sure they will appreciate it?"

"What do you want to say again?"

Mei Yi's eyelids twitched twice, feeling a bad premonition.

"Raiden Mei, don't you want to know whether your friends will still care about you and be willing to save you after they saw you kill Mobius? Yes, even if I don't do anything, you are not doomed. I have observed the skills of those three girls. Given the height you jumped from in reality, if each of them is willing to do their best to save you, it is entirely possible to pull you up again, but do you think they will do so?" Mei didn't know how to answer. If she said "yes"... she certainly wanted to say "yes" with absolute certainty, but by saying so, would she indirectly admit that she didn't firmly want to die? Would she... be mocked by this guy again? But what followed was an increasingly serious doubt. Would Kiana and the others really save her? If this question had been answered before the Herrscher used her body to kill Mobius, she would definitely answer "yes" without hesitation, but now, she didn't dare to be so sure. Imagine if they were in a different place and she saw Kiana kill Mebius with her own eyes, could she guarantee that she had no doubts about Kiana? Could she guarantee that when Kiana took the initiative to jump off the building to end her life, she would not think like this in her mind——

"Forget it, let it be. Anyway, even if she continues to live, she will only hurt others. It's okay if she wants to end her life like this."

Since she didn't do it herself, she wouldn't even fall into the moral burden of "being able to save but not saving", because as long as she hesitated for a moment, everything would be too late.

"What? You don't have confidence now? I thought you would pretend to be confident even if you pretended."

Mei knew that the Herrscher was provoking her, because her silence had explained everything.

But even if she knew it, Mei still took the bait.

She would rather choose to believe something she didn't believe in than to believe something she didn't want to believe in.

"They will save me, for sure."

"What will happen after they save you? The situation in Changkong City cannot be concealed from the whole world. If someone finds out that Mr. Raiden Ryoma's beloved daughter Raiden Meiyi has left Changkong City alive, hehe... can the three girls really protect you under the pressure of the whole world?"

"But Mikael can."

"Huh? Raiden Meiyi, you are really going to make me laugh to death. Don't forget who you just killed?"

Yes, perhaps in the eyes of her selfish person, Mikael is just a universal wish-making machine. She seems to really regard him as a machine that can do anything, but she has never considered that he also has his own feelings.

Meiyi's silence did not last long.

"If he is willing to do this, I will spend my whole life and repay his kindness in any way. If he is unwilling, then I can only let him kill me."

"Well, there is actually another possibility. The reason why Mobius came to kill you was instructed by Mikael."

"Then he just made the right choice."

Meiyi answered without hesitation.

The Herrscher sighed inexplicably, and suddenly laughed again:

"It seems that your mind has changed."

"!"

Mei didn't realize that the Herrscher only used a few words to temporarily dispel her idea of ​​seeking death.

"It seems that you are very confident in humans. Very good, this stalemate between you and me is annoying, not to mention you. So, let's make a bet."

"Hmm?"

"Whoever understands humans better is more qualified to live, right? If they are willing to save you, if the whole world can accept you, then you win, and I will no longer covet your body from now on, and will only control the power for you when you need it... But if it's the other way around, you have to give this body to me, how about it?"

"...Okay."

Mei actually agreed to it for some unknown reason.

"Then... reveal the answer!"

"Mei!"

"Snap——"

Mei felt her left hand being pulled, and it took a long time for her vision to recover from the dizzy state.

And her vision was only clear for a moment, and then it was completely blurred.

"Kiana..."

The girl held her left arm tightly with both hands, and her two braids hung down and even passed over her arm. This was entirely due to her posture at the moment - she also jumped over the railing of the rooftop, and hung on the railing with her knees, barely avoiding falling with Mei.

"You idiot! What are you doing? Let go!"

The words she had just said to the Herrscher were all forgotten at this moment. Mei was so happy at this moment that she wanted Kiana to let go and stop caring about her.

But her right hand was broken by her before, and she couldn't even pry Kiana's hands apart at this moment.

The two of them were like wind chimes tied to the railing of the rooftop. If the wind was a little stronger this night, the fragile connection would also be broken, right?

"Ka-ka-ka"

The two crisp sounds coming from the railing made Kiana turn her head sideways. Meiyi really cried this time. She wanted to cry and ask Kiana to let go, but Kiana said first:

"Don't say it if you want me to let go, Meiyi, I won't let you die!"

"But...if you continue like this, you will..."

"But even if I let you go, I can't get up!"

Kiana said it with confidence, and Meiyi was speechless.

"Stupid Kiana! Where is Meiyi's sister?"

"Bronya is here--"

Just as Kiana turned around and shouted, the railing hanging on her broke. Bronya, who had just rushed to the rooftop, swooped down and grabbed Kiana's ankle without hesitation, but she was the most petite among the four, so her entire upper body was taken out by surprise.

"Sister Bronya!"

"Xie'er - leave me alone - go find the rope!"

But how can you care so much about the situation at this time? Where can I find the rope at once?

Xi'er lowered her head, took a deep breath, and a red light flashed in her eyes.
