Chapter 20 The Contrast from the "Future"(1/2)
The determined future has become known.
The magic eye that looks directly at "death" is suitable for all tangible objects or intangible concepts that can be understood. For the two rituals, the object to be "killed" this time is more distinct than any previous one.
The girl held a knife in her hand, and her steps did not stop at all, and she was still walking straight towards the bomb demon behind the invisible truck shadow.
Just then, the elevator door on her right opened, and the family of three, who had just been shopping in the mall above, walked out happily.
Kurami Mimi Ryuxia also seized the opportunity at that moment and decisively pressed the remote control in her hand. Although she had struggled many times in her heart, it was his first time to kill someone in strict terms.
However, he did not hesitate in his actions because the other party had threatened his safety.
But as he pressed the button, the eyes of the two rituals burst into bright rainbow light, and the knife in his hand also cut through the void and flashed down.
Then it seemed as if nothing had happened, but it was just a hit on the air. Only when Kurami Mimi Liuxia himself seemed to have been stabbed in the air could he understand what it felt like.
"How, how is it possible-!!"
It was as if the eye was stabbed, and the eyes were dark and accompanied by a severe pain, the fourteen-year-old boy suddenly changed his face and screamed.
At the same time, the "future" determined in his field of vision was broken into two pieces after the knife flashed by, and disappeared. Naturally, the set-up bomb did not explode, and it seemed to have a malfunction.
The two rituals were still calm and walked towards the truck in even steps.
"Wow, why—!?"
The bomb demon's heart was in chaos, and the pain made him reach out to cover his right eye, while the other hand was desperately pressing the button of the remote control in his hand.
It seems that doing so will make your arrangements take effect again and allow the bomb to troubleshoot and explode again.
But the explosives did not respond at all, which is normal. After all, this is not a problem with the information management, or a mistake in cooperation, or a failure of the remote control.
None of these reasons. In order to prevent these situations from happening, Kuramime Ryuka has accumulated enough "reality". The future he prepared was not wrong at all, but the explosives were not detonated because of pure accident.
This is incredible, it is also ridiculous.
"Orange is right. As the saying goes, the authorities are confused. Although they have no idea how to start by chance, they will inevitably be different. Bomb Demon, from the moment the result is formed, you will have no future."
The sound of the two rituals came clearly. She knew where the other party was hiding, and also knew that her voice would definitely be heard by the other party.
"how so--!"
A panic hit my heart, and facing the long forgotten fear of the unknown, Kurami Mizuru Ryuka felt trembling.
In the past before this, his entire world was divided into two.
This is neither an illusion nor a metaphor. Just like two monitors are placed on the table, the same scenery is presented to him as a different world.
The left one reflects the present, and the right one reflects the ending.
He acted only for the ending he saw, because the ending he saw would never be subverted. He blindly pursued the ideal ending, but lost all hope.
Like an unconscious machine, an artificial undead reciprocates between the left and right eyes.
Without unknowns, there is no joy of life. Without failure, there is no fulfillment of success.
Boring daily, boring future, boring life... Kurami Mizumi Ryuka once laughed at himself like this. He seemed to be creating his future self, but in fact he was just a slave to the future and a inferior product of a vulgar god.
But now, he has no such thoughts at all.
"Why, why has that future changed!?"
Because he could not bear the severe pain in his right eye, Kurami-mu Ryuxia leaned down, but he still tried his best to open his left eye and tried to find a way out. But for granted, he could not see the so-called "future of successful escape".
He always believes in the future and is always bound by the future. This is an absolute faith and an inescapable curse.
But at this moment, all of this suddenly collapsed completely.
"Nothing has changed. The so-called future does not exist. Since it does not exist, there is no way to change it."
The girl's voice was closer, and the sound of footsteps echoed in front of him. The moment she turned to the back of the truck, the bomb demon had already understood that she would die in her hands.
——Even without future vision, you can get this result by imagination alone.
"If it were a simple prediction, you might have killed me long ago. But unfortunately, you saw it too clearly."
The two rituals naturally raised their knife and turned to their prey hiding in the shadow of the truck.
"Hey, you're... a bomb demon?"
Then, she was stunned for a few seconds like a girl of the same age, looking quite surprised.
Because the two rituals appeared in front of him was a child about thirteen or fourteen years old who covered his right eye in pain and squatted in the shadow behind the truck... Wait, is this the bomb demon in the legend of the city?
...
...
"Let me explain it now, first of all - I won't kill you..."
Ten minutes later, after supervising Kurami-mu Ryuxia to remove the bombs, steel pipes, steel balls and other set up by him, the two rituals softly broke the silence.
Her voice was very light, but her tone was a little cold.
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old little ghost covered his eyes with his hands. After hearing her words, he trembled all over, and then subconsciously turned around and came back tightly to hold the steel pipe in his hand, as if this could give him courage.
He felt his right eye hurt even more. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or something else, but he still stared at the girl opposite him with his left eye who had been leaning against the car over there since the beginning and supervising his work.
The two rituals looked at him with a deep look. She was wearing a light orange silk kimono today.
After all, you need to go out and walk around the street during the day, so choosing a silk kimono is the most appropriate.
"Don't look at me with that look. I just can't do anything to a little devil like you who has no power to resist..."
She snorted slightly.
"Although you won't kill you, your ability is indeed a problem, and it's also age. I will take you back later. Orange is very interested in your ability."
“…Why!”
Maybe it was the pain that stimulated blood, or maybe it was because of the strong will that he had developed since he was eleven years old as a professional bomb demon, Kurami Mizumi asked back with gritted teeth.
Most people are already extremely lucky to be able to save their lives at this time. Whatever others say is what they say. They are better off, and they even act as non-violent and uncooperative.
But the two rituals didn't care at all, and just said to myself: "Before that, I need you to do something for me..."
"Why should I help you?" Kurami Mimi Ryuxia felt a little angry and immediately choked back.
"That knife just now could kill your "future vision" ability, but I've held back...so your right eye wasn't blind."
The girl who looked heroic and handsome in a kimono smiled like a funny thing, but her voice was cold.
Then, she narrowed her eyes: "So, are you ready for punishment, Bomb Devil?"
“…”
The cold voice made the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy shivered. The severe pain from his right eye did not subside, but at this time it seemed to be alerting him-
My eyes are not blind yet, but if I continue to stubborn, I may really be blind.
After all, he is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. After losing his greatest support, he has actually collapsed. His tough attitude is just self-hypnosis and trying to give himself the courage to face all this.
So for granted, he was timid and lowered his head to avoid his vision from being able to meet the girl: "...I, what am I going to do?"
"It's very simple. I want to find someone, but I don't know where he is and who he is... If you use your abilities, you should be able to find it, right?" the two rituals asserted.
The "predictive" type of future vision can only see the possible future.
The "measurement" type of future vision is a supernatural ability that can determine the future based on one's own consciousness, which is higher than "prediction".
In short, the former is to know what might happen. The latter is to know what to do when you want to achieve a certain goal.
This is true for Kurami Mizumi Ryuka. His left eye can see the "present" and his right eye can see the "future" - just like when he was a student, his right eye will see the scene where he wants to get the full mark, and his left eye will reflect the steps required to succeed.
He did not see the answers to the paper directly, but saw the necessary steps required to successfully get the full marks. As long as he acted like this, the "future" could become a reality.
"But even this is fine. You don't know anything. I can't help you see how to succeed in the future!"
Kurami Mimi said with some annoyance. He put down his palm and tears kept flowing from his blurred right eye.
The other party wanted to ask her to help her find someone, but she didn't have any clues. What kind of operation is this? After all, she still has a goal of "going full marks in this exam", and she doesn't even have the goal...
"It's not that there are no clues, this is a clue... If I search based on this, what do I need to do if I want to find him successfully?"
The girl calmly handed over a notebook. This was various side information that Aozaki Orange had "unintentionally" leaked to her by "Orange".
“…”
“…”
Gritting his teeth, Kurami Mimi Ryuxia grabbed the notebook with some anger. He quickly browsed the contents once, then wiped his right eye with tears blurred eyes, and opened his eyes wide with all his strength.
The left one reflects the present, and the right one reflects the ending.
It is a very wonderful sensory form, with causal messages beyond time captured by vision and images appearing in the mind.
Kurami Mizumi Ryuka "sees" her joining the firm, and then starts working and living there, and helps the kimono girl in front of her to track down someone who is unsure.
The time in the future has passed quickly, but it was not too long. Soon they encountered relevant opportunities... It was an apartment located in the urban complex, and I don’t know where it was.
Two quite neat half-moon-shaped ten-story buildings, built together opposite each other, look quite high-end.
Immediately afterwards, Kurami Mizuru Ryuka "sees" a thrilling battle beyond his own perception, just like a scene in a cartoon.
And then...
To be continued...
