"No...I'll go." I refused such a reasonable request, "Please let me go..."

Qingming shook his head. He couldn't bear it, but he was more determined: "This is the most important part of the false god. If I go, if something unexpected happens, you still have time to leave..."

"If Aye dies, I won't be alive anymore."

Qingming was stunned for a moment, and while we were silent, Aye's violent coughing interrupted our thoughts.

"Aye!" I almost rushed forward.

Qingming stopped me and looked at Aye. Aye slowly raised his head, and among the blue hair that was half white, I saw his still calm face. His green eyes slowly opened,

He was as gentle as when I first met him.

"...You're still here." Aye obviously knew that I would come, "After setting so many difficulties, are you still here?"

"Of course..." I suppressed the violent emotions in my heart, "You said, you won't let me die. But if you die, I will definitely die."

A very gentle smile appeared on A Ye's calm face: "Compared with that... Qingming, can you please help me guard that road? I want to have a conversation with A Zi."

Qingming hesitated for a moment.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to her." Aye promised.

Qingming let go of me and went to a place farther away from us to set up the formation.

"Aye——" I asked anxiously, "How can I rescue you?"

Aye shook his head gently: "That's impossible."

"But..." I wanted to hold back the tears, but I couldn't help it.

"No buts." Aye continued, "I still have an identity that I haven't confessed to you, but this is something I didn't know until later. You have to remember clearly what I say next."

So, Aye started a story. The story was so long that when Aye told the ridiculous result, I almost didn't react, so I couldn't accept it when the witch screamed at the end of the battle.

"How is this possible..." I kept denying that result.

"Kill me." A Ye Qing fell on my ears like a feather, "Only you can do this kind of thing."

"You lied to me..." I kept repeating this sentence, "What kind of god's divinity... you are not... neither am I..."

...How can I do this?

"Azi, do you remember what I said?" Aye's voice was a little weak, "I am not your only wish. You must have something you want to do, and it must be like this, that's why we are in this situation today.

.Even if you don’t believe it now...you will believe what I said today in the future.”

It turns out that what Yama and Yamata no Orochi said was what it meant... If the story Aye told was true, it would all make sense.

"I didn't realize it at first. When I was caught, I thought that if the false god obtained the godhead, the consequences would be even more severe. The best way is to kill me. As long as the godhead no longer exists, the false god will always be

False God." Aye glanced at Qingming in the distance, "Although I feel that Qingming is being advantaged, it is undeniable that if you are entrusted to him, he will definitely protect you."

"No! I... don't want his protection. I want you to live..." I couldn't convince myself to believe that story.

"...You, even if you know everything, do you still care about me so much?" Aye's voice was extremely soft, "I am dispensable to you."

"No matter what, don't leave me..." I reached out and grabbed Aye's hand, "I don't believe what you said... That's simply impossible..."

"Alas..." With a soft sigh and helpless words, Aye continued, "Time is running out. When I am completely absorbed by the shadow of the false god, you, Qingming, and the people of Kyoto will face the danger

It’s even bigger.”

"No! No, there must be another way..." I held his hand tightly, like a drowning man holding on to the last straw.
