Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

"Then I remembered wrong. But you should examine your own problem: which of us is actually from Tokyo?"

Su Qing was actually just trying to trick Yui into coming. He was betting that the girl had never been here before, and that she wouldn't lose anything.

Unexpectedly, she remembered this incident after she came out.

"I'm really going to tell Mahiru-chan on you later and have her teach you a lesson!"

Yui never expected Su Qing to become so outrageous; at least she used to admit it.

Even though admitting it won't do anything, it's still better than him lying to himself that he remembered it wrong!

Su Qing never hid her memory ability from her close friends, and they all tacitly accepted it without taking it seriously.

In their eyes, no matter how special Su Qing's abilities are, or how complicated the relationships are, he is just their friend and admirer.

"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to ice cream later, so don't tell on me."

Mahiru went to the restroom, and the two waited for her not far away.

Su Qing glanced at Yui and said.

"Xiao Qing, are you even human?! Eating ice cream in winter? At least buy me a milk tea!"

Yui was dumbfounded. Was this even human language?

"Anyway, it's warm today, isn't it?"

Su Qing raised an eyebrow, giving an indifferent look.

"Eat! I'll eat a hundred of them, and I'll eat you out of house and home!"

Yui gritted her teeth and said fiercely.

"As long as you can eat it."

Su Qing turned around, a faint smile playing on her lips.

He was joking, of course. Although the temperature is rising now, it might drop again after noon.

Furthermore, he didn't know if Yui had her period, so if she wanted milk tea, he would just buy her some.

Mahiru would probably like it too.

As she pondered this, Su Qing glanced at the time, wondering if Mahiru was ready yet.

As she turned around, Mahiru also came out of the restroom. Su Qing waved to her, indicating that they were there.

When the girl saw him, a smile immediately appeared on her face, but her delicate face quickly turned frightened.

Su Qing, who was not far away, saw that Mahiru's expression first became strange, and then her mouth moved as if she was saying something.

Almost simultaneously, they rushed towards him as if their lives depended on it.

The wind was very strong, as if it were whistling in his ears, and he could only hear a few words.

Seems to be……

"Run! Behind you!!!"

later?

What happened next?

Su Qing used to rely on his dynamic capture ability and his "absolute sense of smell" to perceive the outside world.

But long ago he had already devoted some of his energy to suppressing the [contamination] and [certain memories].

This greatly limits the range of absolute olfactory perception.

At this moment, Su Qing truly didn't understand what had happened.

But seeing the girl so anxious and panicked, he immediately tensed up as well.

Just as he instinctively looked behind him to see what was happening, another girl beside him suddenly found strength and pushed the boy, who was much larger than her, away.

Su Qing was tackled to the ground.

His thoughts seemed to have been abruptly cut off.

"Yui...?"

A knife had appeared on the girl's chest without her noticing. The silver-white blade, not yet fully penetrated, reflected a cold light under the scorching sun, but it was quickly covered by scarlet blood at an indescribable speed.

On the asphalt road, liquid of indistinct color condensed into puddles.

pat.

pat.

Each tapping sound, like a gentle rain, seemed to strike Su Qing's heart.

"You crazy woman, what are you doing bumping into me!"

The fierce-looking man panicked for a moment.

With fewer people around, Su Qing was now left with only one woman next to her.

Although turning his back wouldn't disfigure him, the dagger was already out in hand, so he might as well learn from the brave man who assassinated the prime minister.

But why did this woman suddenly rush out and block that knife?

Damn, stupid woman.

Oh, mountains and fields, you'd better run away quickly.

The man named Shanye was about to run away immediately, but less than 0.001 seconds after the thought arose, the sound of wind cutting through the air rang in his ears.

What followed was a fist that filled his entire pupil, and a furious roar from a young man whose killing intent seemed to solidify into a tangible form.

"roll!!!!!"

The mountain wilderness never got to hear the rest of that sound.

He never imagined that a man over 7 meters tall would be nearly sent flying by a teenager's punch.

The mountain and the wilderness flew several meters away.

The light of life seemed to have been forcibly extinguished, and his entire head suffered an unimaginable blow.

In the end, Shan Ye had only one thought:

This is not human...

This is a monster...

The family is finished.

……

"Yui, Yui, wake up! Wake up! Don't sleep, okay? If you sleep, you'll never wake up again!"

The girl's body was held in Su Qing's arms, and he held her soft, delicate hands tightly.

He had absolutely no idea how the girl had managed to push him away with such force using her hands.

The girl's eyes slowly closed, as if she didn't even have the strength to keep them open.

All that came into view was a clear blue sky and a trembling sound that lingered in my ears.

Xiaoqing...you're so noisy...

I'm not really going to sleep, I just... want to rest for a bit...

"how so?"

Mahiru's lips trembled slightly, and her shoulders shook uncontrollably.

But she quickly forced herself to calm down, dialed the emergency number first, and then looked around warily, unable to be sure if the killer had any accomplices.

And all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

When the crowd noticed what was happening, they immediately began to stir, creating a commotion like a rising tide.

Some people took photos hoping to gain some online traffic, some left with their loved ones, unwilling to get involved in the trouble, and many more chose to ignore it.

They made different choices, yet they all remained aloof and watched from afar. The area where Su Qing and the others stayed seemed to be a vacuum, a place no one was willing to enter.

"Don't die! Don't die! Don't die!"

In the final moments of consciousness, the world is a void and chaos.

Am I going to die?

When Yui realized this, she understood that the illusion of a dream was all a lie...

Dad, Mom... I'm sorry, I want to see you again.

But you're both so young, having another baby wouldn't be a problem.

If possible, I hope it's a cute little sister; I've wanted one for a long time.

Never mind, I was just talking nonsense...

It doesn't matter if it's a younger brother or a younger sister, as long as you're not sad.

Grandma, will you be sad and scold me if you find out?

You call me a silly fish, but I don't think I am.

You're the same way. You say that you should love yourself first in this life, but why do you still stubbornly stay in the countryside with your grandfather?

"Don't die! Don't die! Don't die! Don't die! Don't die!"

Well--

Who else is coming?

Who's chanting scriptures?

It's so noisy, but... it feels so familiar...

Why did you push me away? Why didn't you run away yourself?

Why should I suffer for someone who is nobody like me?

Didn't you say your grandma wanted you to find a boyfriend and bring him home to meet her? Didn't you ask me to treat you to milk tea? Didn't you dream of being a bride?

Once you're dead, you have nothing left!

Wake up...please, please, stop scaring me.

……

I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have come today...

It was me. I ruined you...

The girl's body temperature, like the copper faucet of an old handwashing basin, was leaking away drop by drop; there was no way to speed it up or hold it back.

That girl who used to chatter away, laughing carefree and silly, seems to be gone forever.

Su Qing had never hated her powerlessness so much.

Hyperthymesia, absolute sense of smell, the gaze of the abyss... so many talents, but what good are they?

They could never cross the insurmountable chasm between life and death.

But the one who should die isn't you.

The sound of the wind from all over the world tore through space, emitting a sharp, broken buzzing sound in his ears.

But Su Qing seemed not to hear him, as if possessed, mechanically repeating the words mechanically and frantically:

"Don't die! Don't die! Don't die! Don't die! Don't die!!!"

It turns out that those old, tired plot points in movies are all true.

When people are at their most helpless and broken, they really do repeat the most basic words like a human machine...

He didn't understand the point of doing this. It was like those truly enlightened monks who spent their whole lives eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures but never attained Buddhahood, never reached the Western Paradise, and never obtained the true scriptures. Yet they still stubbornly ate vegetarian food, rang bells, chanted Buddhist scriptures, and tried to persuade people to do good.

—But his voice seemed to have a real effect. First, the girl's eyelashes began to tremble slightly, and then her eyelids struggled desperately like a fledgling bird breaking out of its shell.

Those familiar, beautiful ruby-like eyes appeared in Su Qing's world once again.

"Xiao...Qing..."

The girl's voice was weak and faint, and her lips, which were losing color, moved so slightly that it was hard to tell she was making a sound. But Su Qing knew perfectly well that Yui was calling him.
