Chapter 223 [Birth] The Birth of Emerald Bird

That was the first time that Riko Amauchi saw [birth] in the dream world.

Amidst a field of irises, two lost souls met.

Tenuchi Riko summoned up her courage and said, "Your name is [Iris], can I call you Sister Iris?"

The Ji-haired beauty was stunned for a moment, then replied with a chuckle: "I don't have a clear gender. But if you want to call me that, it's fine."

However, the mental state of [the Incarnation] seemed to be very weak. He said that it was due to the loss of strength and too many sins, so he could not stay awake all the time and only woke up occasionally.

Tenuchi Riko asked anxiously and concernedly: "How can I help you? What is 'evil'?"

These are terms that she doesn't understand, and perhaps they are very complicated, but Tenuchi Riko still wants to help her in her own way.

The beautiful lady with the Ji-fa hairstyle shook her head gently. She did not say much. As the dream world gradually faded away, she said softly and slowly, "Don't think too much... Take care of yourself."

Tenuchi Riko reached out to hold him, but the large patch of irises still retreated like a tide. She opened her eyes and woke up to the familiar ceiling.

There are star stickers on the ceiling, which light up at night. There are cute dolls and fresh books in the room, and beautiful paintings and wallpapers hang on the walls.

There is also a potted plant on the table, but it is not a real living thing, but a decoration of artificial flowers and grass.

This is a beautiful but lifeless cottage.

This is where Tenuchi Riko lives now, and it is also the prison that the regulator has surrounded her in.

Riko Tenuchi has no freedom in this cage, but after meeting [Rebirth] in her dream, she has more faith to survive.

The girl's dull eyes once again showed some light of life, no longer like the toy tool before.

She thought. She was not alone after all.

After that, Tenuchi Riko would occasionally meet the princess-haired beauty again in her dreams.

At that time, Tenuchi Riko would enthusiastically tell [Birth] what happened during this period.

Although she was confined here, her experiences were very limited, but Tenuchi Riko still tried her best to collect interesting stories to tell [Birth].

There was never any impatience on the face of the beautiful lady with the royal hair style. She always listened to what Amauchi Riko had to say with a smile.

After Tenuchi Riko finished her talk, she also asked about the story of her birth.

The [birth] stories were very old, almost thousands of years ago, but Tenuchi Riko listened with great interest, especially when He talked about His younger brother.

The Jifa-style beauty did not specifically describe her brother's appearance, nor did she mention the details of the technique. The content of her talk was just some exchanges of ideas and daily life.

From the mouth of [Rebirth], Tenuchi Riko constructed in her mind the image of a young man who was equally handsome, gentle and resolute - the faceless young man smiled in the warmth of the morning light, as if he was accompanying them.

As she spent more time with the Incarnation, Riko gradually understood Him better. At the same time, doubts in her heart began to bubble up:

How did He get trapped in this small world by humans?

However, such a topic is like exposing someone's wounds. [Birth] didn't seem to want to be brought up, so Tenuchi Riko didn't ask.

She just kept her doubts in her heart and continued to try to find a way to help [birth] in the regulatory committee.

Riko Tenuchi saw the weakness of the princess-haired beauty and was concerned about her condition.

The days she spent with [Birth] were the happiest days for Riko Tenuchi since she was detained in the Supervisory Committee.

However, this beauty did not last long.

The day when the incident happened was a winter day. Tenuchi Riko, who had been confined here for many years, needed to rely on the changes in the surrounding facilities and meals to perceive the seasons. She felt that winter had already arrived outside.

The woman with the stitches on her forehead from the Supervisory Commission appeared at the door of Tenuchi Riko with a smile on her face. She spoke softly, as if she was concerned about how Tenuchi Riko felt about living here.

Having already seen through the true face of the Supervisory Board, Riko Amauchi didn't give any good expression. She just stared at them, ignoring them no matter what, expressing her resistance and dissatisfaction in the way a junior high school girl could.

The ignored woman with stitches on her forehead was not angry. She smiled and asked softly, "I also have a child. I know you can't bear to leave your guardian. I feel bad that I haven't been able to take you out these days. It's like I've imprisoned you here."

"Actually, this is not my intention. It's just too dangerous outside." She said, "For safety reasons, I have protected you."

"Now, the time for Tian Yuan to fuse with the star plasma has long passed. You will no longer be carried by those high-level people towards a predetermined fate, and you can choose your own path in life."

"Now, it's time to send you to meet your guardian, Miss Kuroi."

Every word of the woman with stitches on her forehead is powerful enough to move people. The teenage girl cannot see the price behind these words, and her focus is on being able to meet Kuroi Misato.

However, she still remained vigilant and asked with pursed lips: "Before, didn't you use the Black Well to threaten me? Besides, I have seen what you are doing with me these days. I... I don't believe you."

"A huge organization is always a mix of good and bad people." The woman with stitches on her forehead sighed helplessly, then slowly said, "I don't know much about that, and I didn't mean to hurt you."

"As for the things that we did with the power that was placed in you, we strictly followed the rules to select unqualified people and provide them to more deserving people."

——What kind of rules can arbitrarily decide the fate of others? And what kind of judgment is used to screen out qualified and unqualified?

These questions floated in her mind, and she recalled the horrific and horrifying images of the dried human skin, and Tenuchi Riko regained some of her rationality. She remained silent and said nothing.

Seeing this, the woman with the stitches on her forehead did not explain any more, but just said, "Well, Riko, do you want to come with me to see Miss Kuroi? If not, I will ask her to go back."

"...See you." Riko Amauchi answered from between her lips. She didn't want to miss the opportunity to meet.

Anyway, the other party didn't ask for any other price, so if there's a chance to see Kuroi again, I should seize it.

At that time, Tenuchi Riko was still a little naive and didn't know that some prices were hidden in the dark and quietly marked.

She calmly followed the woman out of the door and walked towards an unfamiliar room.

The structure of this room is a bit strange. The cobwebs that can give birth to the dead and regenerate them are scattered all over the room, and the air is surging with unknown magical power. There are two chairs placed in the center.

The woman with the seams on her forehead smiled and gestured, "Please take a seat, Ms. Riko. Ms. Kuroi will be here later." She stood at the door.

Tenuchi Riko looked at the chairs over there, and couldn't help but think excitedly about what she would say when they met. Without thinking too much, she followed the woman's gesture and sat on one of the chairs.

It was also at this time that some strange changes occurred.

Suddenly, strange patterns appeared on the ground, and the cursed energy in the room suddenly surged! The white silk around was blown up by the wind under the fluctuation of the cursed energy, and a strong sense of oppression came suddenly.

"!?"

Tenuchi Riko couldn't help herself and fell to her knees. She felt a suffocating and squeezed pain. It was as if her soul was being squeezed out of her body, swaying and about to fall as it was repeatedly pulled.

When the pain reaches its extreme, you can't even make a sound to scream.

Tenuchi Riko felt with fear that her body was no longer her own and her consciousness was being gradually pulled away like a thread.

Not far away, the woman with stitches on her forehead was still smiling.

Arranged here is the other half of the [Separation and Combination] spell tool - [Unity]. The activation condition is that the participants actively step in and there are no extra shackles.

Naohua saw the stubbornness and rebellious spirit in Tenuchi Riko's body, just like an unyielding little horned sheep.

Brains always try to make everything perfect, and anything with a rebellious spirit means it is dangerous.

So it planned and arranged carefully for a long time, intending to use the rules of the [Unity] spell to further squeeze and fuse the already united [Rebirth] and Amanouchi Riko.

[The existence] is more powerful than humans, so in this process, the one that will be eliminated and squeezed out of the body will be the soul of Amanouchi Riko.

However, the original [Incarnation] was too weak to stay awake all the time, and after being merged into the girl's body, he was unable to control his consciousness.

In other words, after this operation, Naohua will obtain a useful tool puppet - a body without conscious control, and its every move is naturally controlled by the magic power infused into it.

In the room, tears rolled down Riko Tenuchi's eyes and she dug her fingers tightly into the floor.

The teenage girl had never experienced such pain, nor had she ever been so close to death.

...Am I going to die? But I haven't seen the Kuroi yet. What should I do with the sister [Iris] in my body? She is useless and has not found a way to help [Iris].

The last moment of life always seemed to be extremely long. In that brief moment, countless thoughts went through her mind. The pain gradually faded away, and it seemed that her soul could no longer stay and was about to leave her body.

At the very end, Tenuchi Riko was unconscious and had inexplicable thoughts floating in her mind:

I haven't met Ion's brother yet... What kind of a good man is he?

It's a pity that she couldn't see Hei Jing, nor could she wait for the reunion of Iori and his brother.

The body that was kneeling on the ground was swaying and was about to fall to the side powerlessly.

However, at this moment, a certain power surged out from her fingertips and merged into the girl's tears that fell to the ground.

From among the drops of crystal water, a beautiful green kingfisher leaped out!

The green kingfisher with beautiful feathers chirped and struck into Riko Amauchi's floating soul, giving her soul incomparable warmth and firm strength.

The breath from [birth] permeated the girl's soul. Amauchi Riko opened her clear eyes in astonishment, feeling the return of all consciousness.

But at the same time, she vaguely saw the eyelids of the Ji-haired beauty in the spiritual world drooping more and more.

[Iris] gave her more power to protect her soul from then on. But this also meant that the already weak [Descendant] would have to sink into the depths of consciousness and fall into a long sleep, or even worse.

When Riko Tenuchi realized that she was leaving, she cried out in her spirit world in fear and helplessness, "Please don't leave! Why did you give me the power?"

Tears fell from her eyes, blurring her vision. "I can't do it. Don't believe me. I will give in. I will let you down! ... I'm scared!"

In the spiritual world, the figure of the Jifa beauty has become increasingly blurred, but her voice is still as soft and beautiful, yet also has a certain tenacity.

"…I have been let down before. But I think fate will never let me down again."

"Can you hold on a little longer and try harder? Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."

"..." Riko Amauchi's throat was choked with sobs. She wanted to say "yes", but also wanted to say "no". If she said "no", would He not leave?

——But in the end she still said "OK" in her heart.

The figure gradually disappeared, and Riko Amauchi could not catch the disappearing figure.

But the green bird floated down to the ground after circling in the spiritual world. It did not leave, but remained in her heart, gazing at her with its tolerant and gentle eyes.
