But precisely because she could guess it, she found it even more unbelievable.
"When exactly did it happen..."
In her mind, she recalled every little detail of her time with Nanxing.
From the initial rescue in to the subsequent joint elimination of monsters.
She once risked her life to help Nanxing drive back the Ghost King, and Nanxing also traveled thousands of miles to find medicine for her.
She knows Nanxing's biggest secret; Nanxing is willing to share everything with her.
——Whether for Nanxing or Kikyo, this is the most beautiful memory.
Even until now, Kikyo still believes that she and Nanxing have a very high degree of soul compatibility.
She could guess what Nanxing was thinking.
Just as Nanxing could guess what she was thinking at the moment.
But it is precisely because of this that Kikyo is particularly puzzled:
When exactly was it.
The partner she thought of as someone who could walk with her all the way and support each other until the end of life, turned out to be like this:
"Does he...no longer consider himself a human being?"
Chapter 158: Pagans are more hateful than heretics
When did Nanxing lose his sense of identification with humans?
This is a good question.
Not only Kikyo, but Nanxing himself was also thinking about this problem.
After thinking about it for a whole night, Nanxing could only come up with this answer:
“Perhaps, it has been like this since the very beginning.”
His memory went back to when he had just crossed over.
——He was very weak at that time, but he had a sense of arrogance as a matter of course.
He knew that he was a time traveler, that he had a system, and that he was incompatible with this world.
So, from that time on, he had lost his sense of identification with human beings.
In other words, he knows that he is a human being, but he is not a "human" on this land.
To this planet, he is an "alien".
Even his home planet is also called Earth, and it also has the island of Japan.
But he always knew that these were actually two completely different worlds.
It is impossible for him to truly integrate into this world.
"Before this, the reason why I was able to show such a 'hypocritical' side was probably because of Kikyo, right?"
Nanxing thought silently in his heart.
Almost at the same time, Kikyo also thought of this reason.
——The reason why Nanxing has become what it is now is actually all because of her.
It is because of her existence that Nanxing, as a time traveler, always stands firmly on the side of "humanity".
Even though he himself never took the humans in this world seriously, in order not to make her angry, he had to pretend to be "the protector of humans".
He disguised himself very well.
To the point that even he himself was fooled, thinking that he was really the brave man who "fought for humanity".
But the reality is not like that at all:
From the beginning to the end, he was just following Kikyo's position.
Kikyo believed that if she turned around and aimed her arrows at humans, Nanxing would definitely use that terrifying power to tear all the people in this world to pieces before the magic-breaking arrow was shot out.
"This is really..."
Kikyo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
To be honest, she was very touched.
She knew that Nanxing had placed her in a position that could not be more important and she could no longer expect him to do better.
But at the same time, this situation... is exactly what Kikyo least wants to see.
Here's a perhaps somewhat inappropriate example:
If divided according to the nine-square grid, Kikyo is absolutely lawful and good.
And now Nanxing should probably be classified into the Chaos-Good camp.
That doesn’t sound so bad, right?
But the fact is just the opposite.
The absolute opposite of lawfulness and goodness is of course chaos and evil.
But this does not mean that Chaos·Good is not within the scope of Law·Good's exclusion.
Although everyone belongs to the side of "good", the behavior of ignoring order is exactly what Kikyo, who advocates lawfulness, cannot tolerate.
In a sense, this is similar to "pagans are more hateful than heretics."
In this case, what should Platycodon do?
"I……"
She raised her head and looked out the window.
There was not even a single star in the pitch-black night.
She couldn't find the answer either.
……
Nanxing fell asleep.
Because he, like Kikyo, couldn't find the answer to this question.
However, unlike Kikyo, he was unwilling to get stuck in a rut.
So, he decided to empty his mind for a while.
"Go to sleep."
"Maybe, when we wake up, everything will be different."
Nanxing thought very optimistically.
He acknowledged that the behavior might be ostrich-like.
But as I said, escaping is shameful, but useful.
"Let me guess, will you dream about Kikyo tonight?"
With such a wish that sounds insignificant but is actually absolutely impossible to achieve, Nanxing happily fell asleep.
——He actually doesn’t dream.
It is said that gods have no dreams. As an immortal, he will not have any false thoughts.
But tonight, something was different.
Nanxing was really dreaming!
Moreover, I dreamed of Platycodon as I wished!
However, the content of this "dream" was somewhat unacceptable to Nanxing:
“We are no longer on the same path.”
It was in a slightly dark cave.
Kikyo was wearing her usual red and white dress, holding the Zishan Ling bow that Nanxing was very familiar with.
But the bowstring was empty.
An arrow fell at his feet, less than an inch away from his thumb.
"Draw a clear line."
Nanxing knew very well what this arrow meant.
At the same time, next to them, there was a headless corpse with burns all over its body, emitting a disgusting burnt smell.
"what does that mean?"
Nanxing didn't know.
And this dream did not give him much time to think.
The next moment, the scene changed.
He saw Kikyo, holding the Four Souls Jade, leap into the Bone-Eating Well.
In his dream, he also jumped into the well and searched frantically.
However, even if he destroyed the entire well, he could not find any trace of Kikyo.
He left the well in a daze, raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky.
At some point, the originally goose yellow moon suddenly turned into a bright red blood moon.
Then, it suddenly turned into a blood-red eye!
"!!!"
Nanxing was shocked by this sudden change.
And then...then he woke up.
"Is this, a nightmare?"
Nanxing covered his face with his hands, a look of surprise on his face.
He didn't understand why he had such a dream.
However, in the next moment.
Suddenly, an unusual pain came from the right eye.
Nanxing also suddenly realized that this was not a dream at all.
"Mangekyo Sharingan."
"Is the name... Yuandongtian?"
He touched his eyes, a helpless smile on his face.
Tell a joke.
Now he has become an immortal.
Only then did he realize that his Mangekyō Sharingan actually had two abilities:
The left eye [Supreme Sky] has the ability to rule and synchronize, symbolizing the end of power.
The right eye [Primordial Heaven] has the ability to observe parallel worlds and symbolizes the origin of wisdom.
in other words.
The scene he just saw was not a dream at all.
But -
"Badend of me and Kikyo?".
Chapter 159 He A's up!
early morning.
The night is still dark.
But Nanxing, lying on the wooden bed, tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
