"How are you doing?"
The moment these words reached Jingzi's ears, Jingzi had the urge to cry.
At this moment, Jingzi wanted to shout loudly.
"not good at all!"
It's really not good at all.
Just when there were signs of easing of the relationship with Luo Zhen, Luo Zhen became a curse criminal and disappeared.
Even Natsume left, making Kyoko feel as if she had suddenly become her own person. Even if she could return to Onmyojuku, she would never be able to regain the same feeling as before.
In the past year and a half, Jingzi has only been lonely, longing and sad. Apart from that, there is only one belief left to support her.
That is to find Luo Zhen and see Luo Zhen again.
Now, this wish has finally come true.
Looking at that familiar face and hearing that familiar voice, Jingzi really wanted to cry.
But Kyoko still held back.
because...
"them... ?"
Jingzi finally noticed the situation on the rooftop, and her expression suddenly changed.
I saw that around Luo Zhen, who was standing in the center of the rooftop, everything turned into a world of ice and snow, and all the Onmyoji were frozen there in fear or despair. They looked so lifelike. It's so creepy again.
Kyoko even saw among them Zenjiro Kigure, Mari Yumiri, Yamashiro Sakito and even Miyachi Banao, who is known as the strongest onmyoji of the times. Seeing them turned into ice sculptures, frozen and completely unable to move, she felt deeply moved in her heart. The impact can be imagined.
"Don't worry." Luo Zhen said immediately: "Beidou just froze them. It may have a little impact on the body, but it doesn't matter."
One sentence made Jingzi feel completely relieved.
However, it was not so much reassuring that the onmyojis present were fine, but rather reassuring that Luo Zhen did not go on a killing spree.
Jingzi didn't want to see Luo Zhen really go on a killing spree and turn into an evil curse criminal.
Although, Luo Zhen is now a curse criminal.
Thinking of this, Kyoko bit her lip.
"Where have you been for the past year and a half?"
Kyoko asked in a low voice.
"Where else can we go?" Luo Zhen shrugged and said, "Just running around to avoid being pursued by the Yin Yang Hall."
This is of course half true and half false.
The real part of course means running around.
The fake part refers to avoiding the pursuit of Yin Yang Hall.
Luo Zhen was really not worried about the pursuit of Yin Yang Hall, let alone afraid.
Therefore, Luo Zhen was not running around just to avoid being pursued by the Yin Yang Hall.
But this sentence sounded different to Jingzi's ears.
"Have you really become a curse criminal?" Jingzi looked at Luo Zhen closely and said, "Have you really violated the taboo?"
This is what the Yin Yang Hall says to the outside world.
Because modern "Onmyoji" is based on "General Onmyoji", and "General Onmyoji" advocates that there is no soul in the world, let alone the existence of gods. All spirits and gods are just a kind of aura. The form is equivalent to a dynamic spiritual disaster, which allows "Pan Onmyoji" to completely eliminate the element of religious belief. Therefore, only some high-level officials in the Onmyo Hall knew that Luo Zhen performed a trance ritual.
As for the world, they only know that Luo Zhen got involved in taboos, touched taboo rituals, and even successfully completed it. He was arrested by the Yin and Yang Hall just now, but in the end he made a big fuss in the Yin and Yang Hall, escaped, and became a super wanted criminal. Don't know anything about it.
The same goes for Jingzi. She only knew that Luo Zhen had touched a taboo ritual, but she had no idea what Luo Zhen had done.
For this reason, Jingzi wanted to ask Luo Zhen clearly, and even thought that he might be slandered.
pity...
"If you look at it by the standards of modern spells, I have indeed violated the taboo you mentioned."
Luo Zhen's calm answer broke all the luck in Jingzi's heart.
Luo Zhen had indeed violated a taboo and was not wrongly accused.
"You must have had a hard time because of me these past year and a half, right?" Luo Zhen looked at Jingzi and said helplessly: "I'm sorry for making you suffer so much, but this is the fact. If you can't Accept it, then there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Jingzi felt a pain in her heart.
This was not what she wanted to hear at all.
The problem is, Luo Zhen doesn't intend to stop.
"Maybe you feel betrayed by me."
Luo Zhen looked at Jingzi and spoke bluntly.
"But you'd better forget about me."
"From now on, we will no longer be of the same world."
"I don't want to involve you."
Luo Zhen ruthlessly cut off the relationship between himself and Jingzi.
This is the best explanation Luo Zhen can give Jingzi now.
He has indeed violated the taboos of this world and this era. Luo Zhen has already admitted this.
Although he doesn't think he is wrong, nor does he have any regrets, the fact is the fact, and Luo Zhen will not deny it.
Now Luo Zhen is no longer the same person as before. He knows how to respect the rules of every world. Otherwise, he would not have restrained himself in the world of Sword Art Online before and not used any mystery.
In this world, trance is indeed taboo, and the things Luo Zhen once did are indeed dangerous. Luo Zhen will no longer deny these.
In view of this, Luo Zhen will not deliberately distort Kyoko's concept in the normal world. In addition, Luo Zhen is likely to become an enemy of the Kurahashi family and Kurahashi Genji. In the end, it is not known whether the two parties will become What kind of relationship, Luo Zhen didn't want Jingzi to be caught between him and his father and suffer from it.
Rather than end up like that, it would be better to cut off the relationship simply and neatly, which might make Kyoko feel better.
However, Luo Zhen like this had no idea how much impact his words had on Jingzi.
"betray?"
"forget?"
"No longer a person of the same world?"
These words are so familiar to Jingzi.
In the past, Jingzi's father had used exactly the same words to suppress Jingzi and make her give up.
Unexpectedly, Luo Zhen actually said such words.
Kyoko's delicate body suddenly trembled.
Then...
"What about Natsume-san?" Kyoko suppressed her emotions and said, "Natsume-san seems to have been implicated by you. Even though he did nothing, he also became a curse criminal and was wanted by the Onmyoji Agency. ?”
Kyoko actually said such words.
Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly and narrowed his eyes.
"That's true." After Luo Zhen was silent for a while, he said: "However, Natsume is my shikigami, and we have a community of destiny, so I won't think that I am involved in her."
Yes, that's what Luo Zhen thought.
It's not that Luo Zhen doesn't feel guilty, but he knows very well that there is no need for this kind of emotion between him and Natsume.
"Long before that, when Natsume decided to become my shikigami, we no longer needed to consider who was involved with whom, whether it was me or Natsume."
That's what Luo Zhen said.
Kyoko was speechless for a moment.
Just when Luo Zhen thought that Jingzi had accepted her fate and was about to leave...
"In that case, let me also become your shikigami."
Jingzi raised her head and spoke with great determination.
"What?"
This time, Luo Zhen was shocked.
