Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

Everything has been prepared for a long time, but there is no news from Elusi's side, and I don't know whether Su Ruoyang's side is successful or not-now the pointer wants to move at any time.

William consciously stared at the ruler's clock with huge shatters, and he gently threw the crystal ball in his hand, the crystal ball seemed to reflect somewhere in the world. Even at the moment when it repeatedly waved its hands, the hands were trembling slightly. William's eyes wandered to the crystal ball, and his lowered eyes seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive.

"Ah, I seem to be hated. Really." A hoarse voice with a bit of resentment came from behind. It was a bit embarrassing to make a sound. William turned his head in confusion, only to see Yin wryly smiled and moved his index finger behind him, and the magic circle appeared out of nowhere, and instantly pulled the black bag that was placed on the clock to an unknown direction, "Why is that girl right? I'm so vigilant!"

William knew that Yin meant that Xiao Luoluo did not leave with his magic props a long time ago, and also clearly stated that he did not trust Yin, so he naturally shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and looked at the crystal ball from time to time.

Sato Kazuhiko on the side smiled for some reason, but it seemed that there was no malice. He said with a smile: "Well, don't say it's you. I'm quite sensitive about whether other people trust me. Xiao Luoluo, it's true that until now, I have never shown a look of trust in me... ...Perhaps Xiao Luoluo didn't trust anyone here."

"I agree with this point." Kaede Watanabe said while resisting the shield with the skull printed on it in his hand, and he and Kazuhiko Sato clapped tacitly and made a "snap". Then he reached out to give a high-five to Chalt, who was sitting on the ground playing the wooden flute alone, but of course Chalt easily ignored it. Watanabe Feng also had no choice but to put down his hand in a self-defeating manner, and rubbed against his body.

"Forget it, whether she believes me or not... Since you are staying here now, you must protect my safety." Yin took a deep breath and said in a concluding tone. But it doesn't sound like there is any direct connection at all. This made Charte feel reluctance in his heart after hearing these words, and his brows were almost wrinkled together.

"Hey, hey, what's the reason for this?" Chatter said, catching the wooden flute he threw up, pointing it at Yin, "If I really want to protect you, otherwise I will return this wooden flute Here you go. I don’t know how to use it anyway.”

It's not that Chatter doesn't believe in silver. It's just that I feel that I have to obey his instructions after taking silver things, and my whole body is very unnatural. On this point he and the black cat hold the same point of view. However, just when Yin wanted to reply to him, William's eyes on the crystal ball suddenly changed, and at the same time, a purple light emerged from the crystal ball.

"Sure enough, it's still here." He read softly, waved away the burnt cigarette in his mouth, and took a few steps forward, and came to the edge of the clock. These words also made Yin, who originally planned to speak out to keep Chalt, swallowed what he was about to utter. Sato Kazuhiko clenched his fists, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Chalt stood up quickly with his feet on his feet, and asked in an uncertain tone: "You mean... Dream Stealer?"

After hearing this, William glanced at him and nodded his head slightly. As if thinking of something again, he raised his head and instructed Chart: "Your ability is our last trump card - after using it, it means that all of us will have to fight hand-to-hand...so I hope you can control it well." When to use this ability, don’t use it unless necessary.”

"You don't need to remind me of this kind of thing. Don't think that you can understand me better than me with the "absolute observation"." Chart coldly cut off William's concern and turned him away.

William stared at Chart in front of him, and quickly turned his eyes away. "I know you not because of some 'absolute observation'. It's because... I am your father." William answered him in his heart, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to put it into words, only a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!" The words that reached the lips had already become so powerless. William smiled wryly, and continued, "There are not a few people who will come, but please...be sure to persevere."

Before waiting for anyone's answer, there was a muffled groan from being beaten suddenly from behind! William also vaguely sensed something was wrong, and quickly turned his head. The fist came straight to the bridge of his nose, his pupils suddenly opened, and a magic circle blocked the opponent's heavy blow first, emitting a little blue light. The figure of a strong man in a black suit dodged vigorously to the side.

Someone was getting closer in front of him, the footsteps were getting louder, and the moment the magic circle dissipated, William saw a scene that he couldn't have expected - Sato Kazuhiko was kneeling on the ground in pain, mouth oozing A line of blood. Standing in front of him was a boy wearing glasses with a fierce look on his face. He was slowly withdrawing his fist, as if to prove that the blow to Kazuhiko Sato was caused by him.

Before he had time to think about the abnormality of the child, a man whose stature was probably less than half the size of the strong man stepped out from behind the strong man who dodged away earlier. Judging by his figure, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a child. It's just that that face is not childlike at all, and the appearance is too derailed from children. But if he is said to be middle-aged, it would be too short in stature.

William stared at the man in confusion and cautiously, his eyes could not help but slant to the purple crystal ball in his hand. Although he didn't want to admit it, his "absolute observation" did not see this man coming from behind, otherwise William would not have given them a chance to attack Kazuhiko Sato. If Lin Yu was there, he would definitely laugh at himself first, regardless of priorities.

"I really didn't expect that the 'King of Dream Thief' would be so honorable and come to the battlefield to confront us in person."

William deliberately put away a trace of surprise in his words, pretending to be calm. In fact, it was not only the aspect of "absolute observation" that surprised him, William never imagined that the self-important "Dream King" would come here for himself. So from the beginning William denied the possibility. In his perception, the King of Dream Thief would be even more arrogant.

In addition to this, there is another point that he has no way of finding the answer-why did his absolute observation not notice the arrival of this man?

William squinted his eyes at the small man in front of him, and the King of Pirates of Dreams also looked at him fixedly. Chart on the side seemed to be planning to take the opportunity to rescue Kazuhiko Sato, but the strong man stared coldly, as if warning Chart not to act rashly. He clenched the wooden flute in his hand, suppressed the almost instinctive impulse, and secretly looked for opportunities. Instead, Watanabe Feng looked at all this coldly, with an expression of knowing that he was helpless.

The boy moved his head. Only then did everyone see clearly that the back of his head showed a dent as if it had been hit hard with a blunt object. He walked up to Sato Kazuhiko slightly, and stepped on the back of his hand. When retracting the right foot, the palm was out of shape, like squished plasticine. Even though the howling of pain was suppressed desperately, it still broke out from the bottom of my heart.

"You should know that this is our ruler's clock, right? Even if the clock is damaged to this extent, the ruler still has the double healing ability on his own clock." Under such a miserable cry, William Gently put his hands behind his back, and clenched his fists calmly. The tone of his mouth is still so calm and composed.

"We are all rulers who have participated in the domination war. There were indeed such rules in the previous sessions, and this session must also be there." The Pirate King finally moved his mouth and said in that toneless tone. Speaking of this, he glanced back at Kazuhiko Sato, and the trampled "mud" slowly returned to the shape of a palm. "But how can you be sure that there are no other rules that can switch from an away game to a home game?"

William suddenly froze. It is said that the purpose of the Dream Stealer has always been very clear, that is to get rid of all other rulers. So all their actions are also based on this, and they will occupy the Xinghai Tavern, and they also value the characteristics of being connected to reality there. Since they will find themselves, it means that they have found a way to get rid of themselves.

At this time, Charte, who was on the side, thought he had seized the opportunity, and raised the wooden flute to his mouth. But unexpectedly, all of this has been observed by the absolutely observant King Pirates. He smiled coldly, and the snapping sound came from between his index finger and middle finger. As if taking this as an instruction, the strong man beside him took a step forward. He knew that he was far away from Chart, but he still swung his strong arms violently, clenched his fists and pushed forward. Chalt sneered disapprovingly in his heart, but then he couldn't believe it—the fist seemed to hit his abdomen hard, Chalt suddenly opened his pupils, and the melody he was about to blow out turned into a shocking melody. Noisy noise.

William couldn't be more clear about what kind of ability King Pirates is using to fight against Chart. Absolute observation that can observe all surface information can naturally observe each other's every move clearly. And the strong man beside him attacked instead of him. This inadvertent cooperation between them has already shown to what extent they have reached a tacit understanding.

The deadliest thing is that my own "absolute observation" can't observe anything for some reason. After the Thief King appeared, he seemed to have lost this ability, so he didn't see the boy's small movements at all. It is obviously the ability to observe all surface information, but at this time the chain is lost.

On the other hand, the pain made Chart truly understand that he had been hit hard. He kicked back to keep himself from falling. His plan to dodge to the right was clearly observed by the King of Dreams, he stretched out his index finger slightly to point to the right, so Charte bumped into the swung elbow again, and was pushed back a long way before standing still .

Chalt wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth. The pain was secondary, but the anger at being played made him unable to restrain his impulse. William understood Chalt's personality, seeing Chalt going straight to the King of Pirates of Dreams, he quickly shouted: "Stop! What you are facing is "Absolute Observation", and whatever you want to do will be blocked." He saw it! What's more, the man next to him knows every secret signal of him."

Unwillingly, Chart stopped. Obviously he didn't want to listen to William's words, but he also knew that now was not the time to fight against him. He has always been under William's "absolute observation", and he is extremely repulsive in his heart. Now there was another absolute observer, which made his mood even more chaotic.

"Sure enough, not everyone is there. It's really a good idea to split up, and I like it." There was no ups and downs in the voice, but it gave William a feeling that all his plans were under the control of the enemy. Feeling a sense of urgency, I couldn't find the words to respond for a while. "It's just that there is a difference between leaders. What I do means victory, but you..."

"I won't fail." As soon as the words fell, several magic circles glowing red appeared concentratedly around the King of Pirates of Dreams. As if he had anticipated what the other party was going to do, he immediately took a step back, but was still heavily blocked by those six-pointed stars. The flames splattered in all directions in an instant, and the intense explosion sound spread to almost every corner of the world. However, the impact of the explosion was limited to the magic circle,

The smoke gradually faded away, and the magic circle suddenly lost its support and disappeared into the air. The remains of the corpse seemed to be hiding in the smoke and dissipating, and the King of Pirates of Dreams had disappeared without a trace. William couldn't help curling his lips. Even if the Dream Thief King would appear again in four hours, there would be at least four hours for the Dream Thief to be leaderless, and he was confident that he would get more information than them during this time.

But he didn't expect a sneer. A stiff and disturbing voice. The King of Stealing Dreams stood peacefully where the strong man was before, but the strong man disappeared.

"How is this possible?" Yin took a small step back, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. The explosion magic did work, but why is the King of Pirates still here?

"You, this is... the controlling ability of "Shifting Shadow"!?" Kaede Watanabe standing aside slightly frowned. William followed his gaze to the boy standing next to Sato Kazuhiko. At the moment before the explosion magic unfolded, the boy used this ability to switch the positions of the Dream Thief and the strong man, so it was the strong man who was actually exploded.

Thinking of this, the smile on William's face disappeared completely, and he just stared at the boy. The boy also seemed to have noticed someone staring at him, he slowly raised his head, and then grinned violently. The corners of the two bickering mouths were torn uncontrollably towards the sides of the cheeks, and it was indeed a horrifying and ferocious smile.

In the next second, the boy suddenly disappeared, replaced by a girl. She was watched by them with puzzled and hostile eyes. The girl had a pair of headphones on her head, humming an unknown tune. The cheeks are bulging, and there is a thin stick in the corner of the mouth. Pulling her little hand out of her pocket, she gently took out the little stick—it was just a lollipop.

"Hi everyone~ Don't be so stern when you meet for the first time~ I won't have a good impression of you." The girl with a sweet voice like candy waved the lollipop in her hand vigorously. Even though it looks quite "harmless", but the other party is a dream stealer, William can't let go of his vigilance, and at the same time silently warns Yin beside him with his eyes. Chart, too, stared at her uneasily.

Seeing that the people in front of her were so wary of herself, the girl stuffed the lollipop back into her mouth, showing a displeased expression. With puffed cheeks and furrowed eyebrows, the girl seemed to be able to exude a pink breath. It's just—"There's no other way like this~Please go to hell~"

Suddenly the lollipop in his mouth disappeared, and by the time he realized it, he was already circling in the air and coming towards William and Yin. The girl whistled happily, and the stick followed the rhythm of the tone.

Sensing a trace of strong uneasiness, Yin hurriedly propped up a magic circle, Candy was blocked from the hexagram slowly, and then within a second, the magic circle propped up with a "boom" The shield shattered and scattered into dust accompanied by a sweet smell, and the whirling stick met the shield in Kaede Watanabe's hand that replaced it.

Some purple light spots appeared from the hollow eyes of the skeleton, and the closed mouth was pulled open ferociously, and a cloud of purple mist was spit out from it, intertwined with the lollipop, staying in mid-air, making it difficult to advance and retreat. William and Yin hurriedly took a few steps back, withdrawing from the direction where the lollipop was coming. Watanabe Kaede also put the shield back to dodge.

As the tone of the girl's whistle plummeted, the candy actually sucked up all the purple mist hovering around it and headed towards the break of the clock, and the stick was bounced into the air by Silver's hastily turned magic circle. It exploded not far into the air. William looked back again in a daze, as if he had done nothing, the girl's cheeks puffed up with candy in her mouth, her eyes were full of pure sweetness of a girl.

It's not good to go on like this. If the clock is hit by this kind of thing, it will be damaged to the extent that the restoration power of the three connected dream worlds cannot be saved. William gritted his teeth. The sound of footsteps coming from behind suddenly made him feel a burst of cold air behind him. Turning his head suddenly, about three rulers are getting closer and closer. And one of them was the previous child.

Almost at the same time. The purple crystal ball emits dazzling light. The previously invalid "Absolute Observation" returned to William's control. No time to think about what happened before, William groped his chest for a pistol out of thin air, bent his knees and took a step forward. Seeing that someone behind him was about to move and plan to attack, William quickly dodged aside, raised his pistol and pulled the trigger at Thief of Dreams.

As if the opponent had predicted it first, the pistol was firmly held by the opponent's right elbow, and the bullet grazed his cheek, leaving a deep red bloodstain. At the same time, he suddenly stood up straight, and his body, which was less than half his height, became the same height as him, and he also made a gesture with his left hand to take out something. William, who clearly observed the other party's actions, quickly clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed it heavily on his arm that was about to draw out the gun. But the opponent's right hand was intended to block the violent punch. All this really made William unpredictable, so he had no choice but to make a countermeasure—turning the body of the gun and drawing a half circle, intending to face his head, but he took out his pistol and aimed it at the same time. Own. The free hands of the two wanted to block the other's gun pointing at their own heads, but at the same time observed the other's movement trajectory, the brain canceled this instruction, and the two fists collided straight, almost indistinguishable. The strength of the upper and lower makes the fist tremble continuously in the air, making it difficult to distinguish the upper and lower. The pain spread into each other's minds equally.

The Thief of Dreams stared straight at himself with blood-red eyes, and William stared at him too. The muzzles of the guns were pointed at their own heads, but whoever pulled the trigger would be clearly observed by the other side. The other hand clenched into a fist and hit the opponent's fist. The two locked each other in such a situation. After a long time, William spoke—"The inability to observe the other party's whereabouts... is really something I have never witnessed before."

"I have to admit, maybe I haven't felt this way for a long time." The King of Pirates of Dreams still followed him closely, reluctance and strange freshness intertwined into a strange excitement. Under the sway of this strange emotion, he grinned and showed his teeth. William was sure it would be the same look on his own face. At this time, the two almost pulled the trigger together, but were blocked by the fists that were drawn away from each other. Bullets grazed his cheeks and exploded.

And under such an "absolute" barrier, several rays of light broke into their surroundings, and then disappeared quickly, hitting the boy who broke into the clock. Sato Kazuhiko gritted his teeth and supported his arm, and there were bursts of phantom pain in his palm. He staggered from side to side a few times and stood up. "No matter what you do, this place will never be your home - as long as you and me are here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the flying cards turned into light again, and went straight to attack the boy and the other dream stealers who were about to rush forward! Immediately afterwards, a few cards dragged the boy to the ground in an instant, firmly fixing him in place. Just as Kazuhiko was about to throw the next card, the whistle sounded behind him again, and the sweet candy scent lingered in a strong dangerous atmosphere. Ziwu once again made the lollipop break away from the track of the melody and burst into the air. One after another, the flames attracted the attention of the residents of the town.

Clinging to each other's backs, the two faced the enemy in front of them. Sato Kazuhiko and Watanabe Kaede who were beside the boy turned around at the same time and exchanged positions. A figure quickly stepped on the boy's shoulders and kicked up, making a gesture to jump up to the clock. Kaede Watanabe couldn't catch the speed of this figure at all, and only heard the words "star of light speed, go to the top". Watanabe Feng had no choice but to do what Yin said before, raising the shield in his hand above his head. When the shield was impacted by the speed of light star, the purple mist spewed out from the entire shield instantly lifted the opponent into the air, hovered and landed in front of Sato Kazuhiko. Liguang, who flew out of Sato Kazuhiko's hand, cut the candy, then turned around and stabbed the star of the speed of light lying in front of him. He hurriedly took a step back and stepped aside. The lollipop returned to the girl's mouth intact again.

Gunshots rang out one after another, elbows collided with wrists, wrists collided with the muzzle of the gun again. The muzzle of the gun deviated from the direction countless times, and the bullet grazed his cheek countless times. William stared at the man in front of him. He knew that there would be no winner if this continued, but he was still immersed in such a strange feeling. The only key to victory or defeat is the number of bullets - although everything in the dream can be infinite, it is still based on the factor of "recognition". If both parties hold the cognition of the real world, then the cognition of "bullets are limited" naturally exists, so bullets cannot come out endlessly. But what kind of cognition does this guy hold?

Pulling the trigger again, the gunshot exploded again, and the whistle sounded like an endless accompaniment to the symphony, coming from the girl again. Just when Sato Kazuhiko was getting ready for the next round, there was a clear flute sound from the right. The dazzling hexagram beside her made the girl startled, the whistle trembled and then mixed with the sound of the flute, and the lollipops flying around couldn't move for a while, as if hesitating which voice to follow. Gradually, Chart's melody overshadowed the whistle, and the girl suddenly felt a little uneasy, waved her hand hurriedly, and her cheeks puffed up again. Her eyes were no longer soft and full of mockery as before, but she was seriously thinking about the countermeasures. But after that, no one knew who drew an invisible barrier, and suddenly separated the backs of Sato and Kaede Watanabe who were close to each other.

"Sure enough, it's you again, 'Dark Knight'." Chart obviously noticed a sense of oppression coming from behind, and took a few steps forward to avoid being knocked away by the barrier.

"Unexpectedly, Your Excellency still remembers. Then you must also remember this?" The black knight standing there waved the hem of his clothes that was dragged on the ground, and the oppression behind Chalt came further. In such a situation, the feeling of the body slowly moving up came again. Chalt looked down slightly, and there was a certain distance between his feet and the dial of the clock.

"Where are the other people who were with you last time?" The black knight's tone was rather threatening. Only the King of Pirates of Dreams and William continued to fight each other without looking at each other. Their arms were entangled several times, and they quickly moved away to raise their pistols. They were pushed away by the other party's wrists, and almost lost their strength to release the pistols. Chart didn't answer the black knight's words, but just clenched his fists, hesitating whether to use the dominance ability.

"Ugh!?" Sato Kazuhiko really didn't understand what was going on, he only knew that he was constantly rising. Watanabe Feng also kept a distance from himself.

"Didn't you think you were still obsessed with this trick? As long as you can fly, this trick is nothing. It's a pity that there is no ruler here that you can get rid of." Chalt's words made him wave his fingers, Stretching out his finger, he pointed to the reddish sky, where the stars shone with white light.

"Before the domination war was about to start, the rulers of the two clocks turned into a desolate star and flew into the sky. Now you are also ascending into the sky. When you approach the desolate star, you may end up in the same fate as them. Your Excellency What do you think? I think that there are still many ways to completely kill the ruler in this world. It’s just that it has yet to be verified. And you are the experimental products for verification.”

Chart stared at the black knight in front of him - if this continues, he can only use the trump card. No matter what, he couldn't accept such a thing as turning into a desolate star and leaving the stage.

"Don't do that!" Suddenly, a voice broke his thoughts. That was William who was still fighting against the Thief of Dreams. "If he can do this kind of thing, why tell you? How could his barrier reach the height of the desolate star? He is tempting you to use your dominance ability!" Because of these few short sentences, the brief The distraction caused William to take a few extra elbows. Chart also suddenly loosened his clenched fingers.

"Now you can't care about anything other than me." The Dream Thieves spit out these words coldly. William frowned tightly, the prolonged battle made his movements less and less smooth.

"What kind of mood did you take to participate in the war of domination?" William said that the arm that was entangled with the other party's thrashing came, and changed his words.

"I don't need to answer at all." His arm suddenly broke away from the other party, and when he observed that the other party would point the gun at himself again, he gave a large feedback to push away his hand, "I am no different from you. Dominate Ability is originally born according to the heart of the ruler. If this is the case, then you must have a lot of similarities with me.”

These words made William's pupils dilate suddenly. Obviously, my purpose of participating in the domination war is purer than anyone else, how could I become such a guy as the King of Pirates of Dreams? "Where I am is different from where you are!" He suddenly withdrew his hand and pulled the trigger, and the bullet deviated from the track and penetrated the opponent's waist. The Thief of Dreams let out an "uh" in pain, gritting his teeth to block his left hand.

The height from the ground has reached the level where it cannot rise any further. Silver, who was far from the reach of the black knight, was left alone, but he still heard the conversation between them clearly.

"Tell me." The upper and lower rows of teeth were chattering. William stared at the man in front of him stubbornly, and put into words the question he had been wanting to ask all along, but was afraid to ask because of Chalt's presence. He seemed to use all his strength to make a sound, "You killed a girl named Shirato Mei, didn't you?"

As if an electric shock hit Chaerte's heartstrings, he suddenly turned his head, and couldn't help but cast his gaze in their direction, but the Thief of Dreams was stunned for a few seconds and laughed dryly.

"So that's how it is. That's how it is." He pushed William's muzzle hard, thinking that his tone would not change no matter what, but unexpectedly his tone was mixed with some strange emotions. "I finally know who you are. No wonder it is like this. No wonder you have the same "absolute observation" as her!"

"What the hell do you mean? I want you to answer my question!" William's voice was almost roaring. The fist in his hand also bypassed the opponent's resistance and grabbed his collar.

"So what if my answer is 'yes'. Then again, was it me or you who actually killed her?"

Soundless silence quietly descended on this space restricted by the barrier. William couldn't help thinking about the other party's question, and the answer seemed so hesitant.

The King of Pirates of Dreams stared at William mockingly, and Chalt's eyes also had a hint of questioning meaning, and the silver on the clock at his feet looked in this direction with a strange gaze. Sometimes silence is also a kind of sound, which makes people's ears buzz.

"Absolutely not! It has nothing to do with me. I didn't kill her." The strength in William's hands seemed to be draining at an accelerated rate, and his tone was full of uncertainty.

"Oh. That's right. Then I'll tell you my answer - Baitu Mei was killed by me, but because of you." King Thief of Dreams took the opportunity to block William's arm that was pulling his collar, and the spinning gun He made a gesture and pointed towards his chest. At the same time, William withdrew his hand and raised his pistol high, gritted teeth trembling with a growl of resentment from the bottom of his heart.

William buckled his pistol and grabbed the opponent's shoulder tightly. Seeing this, the Thief of Dreams also grabbed his collar tightly. The hem of his clothes fluttered as he turned around. Neither of them could hit each other. In the end, they just exchanged positions. At this moment, William twisted the corners of his mouth and sneered, and quickly raised the muzzle of his gun. Unexpectedly, the other party also observed this move and raised his pistol. As a result, the guns pointed at each other's chests again.

Even though the "absolute observation" of both sides has already observed each other's whereabouts, but this time neither of them wants to obey the dominance ability and respond, and neither of them has the intention of avoiding dodge.

In the end, they fixed each other with such a twisted situation.

"I can't observe the other party's movements, but I can only guess what the other party will do according to my own whereabouts. How does it feel?" The Thief King said with a slight smile in his tone. William's vision missed the sleeve and vaguely saw the twitching corner of the other's mouth. "Incredibly exciting indeed. But there is no place in this world for two absolute observers."

What's more, it was you who killed Baitu Mei. To this day, I still clearly remember the lonely night that the father and son spent hugging each other, letting the past go by the lakeside of memories bit by bit.

"That's right. I think so too. It's just that if the living is not me but Baitu Mei...if it's not you and me standing here but Baitu Mei and you, would you still say that?"

"But she is already dead. If what you said is impossible." William observed that the other party was about to reach out and grab his elbow, so he quickly drew his hand to block his palm, and clasped his five fingers tightly. In an instant, the expression of the King of Pirates of Dreams also distorted. They were so focused on smashing each other that they pulled the triggers almost simultaneously, and the bullets exploded in each other's direction.

But the bullets did not pierce the bodies of the two of them for a long time. The golden hexagram and an invisible barrier respectively blocked the two bullets bursting towards each other, and two black and purple ripples were reflected on each other's chests.

There was no slack in escaping from death at all, but a little irritated suddenly, William recalled the past involuntarily.

＊＊＊

The moonless night outside the window. The unknown bug could not stop chirping, the ethereal and monotonous melody seemed to be someone trapped in the bug's body calling for help. Letting my heart be empty and erratic, I followed the buzzing flying insects in the air and looked out of the window to the farthest point. The summer festival was still going on in full swing, and a child walked through the alley with a dog wagging its tail.

"Mei, go and see if Charte is awake. If you are not asleep, take him to see it?" Attracted by the star-like street light, I stared out the window in a daze, and opened my mouth involuntarily, but there was nothing. Anyone respond to my words. I froze for a few seconds, and looked away from the window, but there was no one in the room except me.

Only then did I suddenly realize that the figure named "Mei Baitu" had quietly exited from my story without saying goodbye to me, leaving so suddenly. I just fell asleep as usual, but when I woke up, what greeted me was the cold morning, and someone's cold voice on the phone. I rushed back to Tokyo thinking that everything was just Mei's joke, thinking that I would see Mei's playful smile, but what greeted me was the truth.

But the moment I realized she was gone, I didn't feel sad. It's more of a feeling of emptiness that fills the whole heart. It twisted my ears and made me lose my strength.

The washing machine was tumbling the clothes in circles, and there was a "buzzing" noise. I turned around and quietly folded the quilt on the bed, dimly lit. Walking out of the living room, there is only an open box of milk through the half-open refrigerator door. The night wind broke into the room, accompanied by the bleak air in the room, and brought the fragrance of flowers from the other side.

I seem to see Mei in front of the washing machine put away Chalt’s clothes, fold them with a smile and put them on the corner of the bed in the bedroom; I seem to hear Mei calling my name softly in front of the refrigerator, complaining coquettishly that there is nothing to satisfy my hunger. Suddenly there was a "pop" outside the window, and a gorgeous beam of light rose into the sky, bursting out dazzling colors in the dark night.

"Mei, let's go out and have a look, we can see more clearly." I looked back to find her, but I couldn't find her anywhere. The powerless loss broke into the chest quietly, and the anxiety gradually turned into sadness. It was as if I realized that she had withdrawn from my life forever, and there was no one to share my feelings with, and no one was waiting for me to come back.

I finally couldn't bear the sadness, and wept bitterly. The feeling of emptiness hovering in his chest has all turned into grief. The more splendid the fireworks, the more joyful the noise of the people, and the more uncontrollable my wailing. Suddenly the door was opened, and Chalt, who was rubbing his sleepy eyes, stared at me blankly. I don't know if he was aware of Mei's departure, I only know that he trembled with aggrievedness after seeing my sadness.

He is no longer my child. How could this kind of thing not be noticed? I put my arms around his trembling shoulders, and his little hands rested on my back. Just burst into tears like this.
