Professional Hero Sephiroth[Comprehensive]
Chapter 68 Chapter 68
Even afterward, Tifa scolded him: "What stupid things are you talking about!"
In front of his childhood sweetheart, Claude finally expressed his feelings, covered his face quite directly, and said bluntly: "I don't know... just suddenly..."
Tifa crossed her arms and looked at Claude with a foolish expression, almost the same as Sephiroth's eyes before: "Maybe he has forgotten the matter of destroying the world due to amnesia, but you reminded him instead!"
Claude twitched his mouth, thought for a moment, put down his hands and resumed his seriousness: "This kind of thing can't be hidden. Whether it's what Sephiroth did or his life experience, as long as he wants to investigate, we can't hide it." Let him live. Besides..."
He thought of the three silver-haired youths who suddenly attacked him on the way back to Midgar, shook his head under Tifa's puzzled eyes, and decided not to tell her about it.
He didn't want Tifa to worry blindly for him.
So, Claude continued: "Besides, he is the only one who can cure Starscar Syndrome now!"
"This is also..."
"Tifa you," Claude hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and asked, "You to Sephiroth..."
The pretty-faced childhood sweetheart immediately understood what he meant, smiled, and turned around with her hands behind her back: "I... still can't forgive him for killing my father and the people in the village."
"..."
"But he also cured Claude and Denzel, and may heal more people in the future. Besides, he is still suffering from amnesia... Actually, seeing Sephiroth like this is like seeing Sephiroth two years ago. Claude like you."
"I?"
Tifa turned her back to Cloud, and smiled softly: "You probably didn't realize that you at that time were actually very similar to Sephiroth now. You are the same vigilant, autistic, and the same So I thought, since I could accept this kind of Claude back then, I might as well try to accept the same Sephiroth. After all, Sephiroth is Claude's idol, right?"
Behind Tifa's invisible back, Cloud cast a shadow on his face: "Sorry Tifa, you don't have to do it for me..."
"I'm not for you either." The black-haired girl interrupted him bluntly, "If he really turns his back on his evil ways, then those who suffer from astral mark syndrome will need him, and this planet will also need him... If He is still the great hero Sephiroth..."
Sephiroth sat in the booth, looking sideways at the gray street outside the window, and the puddles of rainwater gathered on the street.
In order to save electricity, the lights in the bar are not turned on during the day, which makes the inside of the house as gloomy as the outside.
It is said that when the Shinra Building collapsed two years ago, the magic furnaces around the city of Midgar also exploded. In addition, people have recently stopped using magic energy in order to save planetary energy, which has caused the city's current resources to be tight.The electricity for each household is supplied on a regular basis, and if the quota is exceeded every month, the power supply will be stopped.Therefore, during the day, everyone can turn on the lights without turning on the lights. Even at night, compared with the original city that never sleeps, Midgar is much darker now.
After coming to this world, the Jenova cells in the body seemed to have sensed something, and began to gradually become active, especially after entering the city of Midgar, the mental strength of the Jenova cells reached a peak, as if There is a will that is constantly calling out to Sephiroth.
That should be Xenovia's matrix.
Sephiroth, who was in deep thought, noticed a cautious gaze staring at him from behind. He turned his head slightly and found that it was the child named Denzel.The other party was hiding more than half of his body behind the counter, carefully poking his head out to peek at Sephiroth.
Seeing Sephiroth looking towards him, Denzel panicked and raised his head!
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, his head hit a baffle on the counter. The pain caused him to cover his head with his hands, and tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
Sephiroth couldn't help but smiled and waved at the child.
At first, the little boy blushed and hesitated in the same place, until he found that Sephiroth had been patiently waiting for him, and then he walked over slowly.
It wasn't until he walked in front of him that Sephiroth said flatly: "You don't seem to be afraid of me?"
His calmness seemed to infect Denzel, who looked less nervous, but still flushed, and dared to answer: "What have you to be afraid of!"
Sephiroth twitched the corner of his mouth: "Probably because I used to be the devil who wanted to destroy the world."
Denzel stared at him curiously.
It is impossible to say not to be curious.
Even a child of Denzel's age has heard of the name of the Shinra hero Sephiroth.
When he was sensible, Sephiroth had already defected from the Shinra company, and then the magic furnace exploded, Denzel's parents died, and he became an orphan in the slums. Occasionally, he heard from adults that the destruction of the Shinra building was the result of Saphiroth's death. Philos did it, even the huge meteorite that almost landed two years ago was made by Sephiroth.
After the meteorite, there was the dreaded Starscar Syndrome. Several orphans Denzel knew died like this, and he himself was also infected with the Starscar Syndrome.
So, from a certain point of view, Sephiroth is the culprit of all this.
However, he is the one who cured Denzel now.
Denzel eavesdropped on the conversation between Cloud and Tifa, and knew that the tall, silver-haired man in front of him was in a state of amnesia, and he didn't remember what he had done.
Is this the former hero?
Denzel looked at Sephiroth without blinking, a look of surprise on his face that he didn't realize.
It wasn't until he regained his senses that Sephiroth asked with a funny smile, "Did you see anything?"
Denzel shook his head like a little adult, hesitantly went to sit down in front of Sephiroth, and put his hands on his sides.
Facing Sephiroth's patient and gentle gaze, Denzel mustered up his courage: "Why do you want to destroy this planet?"
Although everyone said that the Starscar Syndrome was the anger of the planet, the retaliation caused by the over-exploitation of Moko energy by Shinra Corporation, but Denzel always believed that it must be related to the huge meteorite two years ago.
"Why..." Sephiroth was not as angry as Denzel imagined, on the contrary, he was still calm, with his gloved hands crossed on the table, slightly raised his head to look at the ceiling of the bar, "Is it for revenge?" .”
"revenge?"
Sephiroth put it in a way that a child could understand: "I thought my things were taken away, so I wanted to get them back."
Denzel looked surprised: "Don't you remember nothing?!" Then he looked vigilant again.
Sephiroth laughed again: "It's not a complete amnesia, some remember, some can't remember."
Denzel just relaxed again.
He wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Claude who came over: "Denzel! Marlene is looking for you."
"Oh, okay." The little boy with reddish-brown hair jumped off the deck, paused before leaving, looked back at Sephiroth and said seriously, "Although everyone says you are scary, I think you are quite nice Yes. Thank you."
Sephiroth laughed: "You're welcome."
Denzel ran away, and it was Claude who sat down opposite him.
Sephiroth's smile just now made him a little dazed, and he couldn't regain his senses for a long time until he sat down.
Or Sephiroth took the initiative to ask: "Claude?"
"Yes!" Claude stood up subconsciously, with his legs together and his hands on his sides standing straight.
Under Sephiroth's stunned gaze, he suddenly came back to his senses, and then both ears under the blond hair were flushed——
I don't know why, Sephiroth in front of him always reminds Claude of him when he was a hero seven years ago.Cloud, who was still a soldier at the time, would stand upright and answer Sephiroth's orders like this.
I didn't expect that after so many years and so many things happened, Claude's body still had such an instinctive reaction.
Claude was annoyed for a while, and suddenly found one thing: Since he would have such a reaction, does it mean that he has subconsciously tacitly agreed that the current Sephiroth has changed back to that powerful and reliable hero?
Thinking of the happy conversation between Sephiroth and Denzel just now, and the smile on the other side's face at the end, Claude is willing to think things for the better.
Maybe, like Tifa said, he should be honest.
With Sephiroth's cleverness, he can't fail to see that he has been deliberately covering up so far. Even so, the other party is still willing to heal Denzel, and there is no complaint...
Then, he should be able to look forward to it a little, right?
"Sephiroth." Cloud took a deep breath and said, "Next, I will explain in detail what happened after Zacks and I escaped from the Shinra laboratory."
Recalling these things is not a pleasant process for Claude himself.
Zacks, Alice, and other friends died in these experiences. While telling Sephiroth the truth, Claude himself is equivalent to revisiting the pain and despair again.
The hatred of being weak, the powerlessness in the face of the death of a friend, and the anger in the face of a strong enemy...
Following Claude's narration, these negative emotions flooded him like a tide, suffocating Claude bit by bit with the memories.
He talked about Shinra's despicable behavior of covering up the incident in Nibelheim Village, and also mentioned all the efforts made by the anti-Shinra organization "Avalanche", as well as the ancient species, Xenovia, and Sephiroth who captured the Black Magic Stone Summoner. Meteorites, etc., until at the end, he mentioned that he destroyed the body of Sephiroth, whose spirit entered the stream of life like everyone else on the planet.
Sephiroth's long-standing doubts were finally resolved.
He stretched his eyebrows and nodded: "I see."
"What?" Claude looked at him suspiciously and uneasily, as if he was afraid that Sephiroth would be recalled by what he said, and then transform into the World Destroyer Demon King again.
"Starscar Syndrome." Sephiroth glanced at Claude's left arm, where there used to be a large black spot, "I was wondering why Jenova cells appeared on ordinary people. Now look at it Come, it is the spirit of 'I' lingering in the stream of life, spreading the Jenova cells, and taking the opportunity of the planet to resist the meteorite with the stream of life two years ago, to enter your body."
Claude was stunned when he heard that, his pupils, which had a magnificent blue-green color due to soaking in the magic, slightly dilated.
After a long time, he suddenly said: "That's right! After the meteorite disappeared that day, it rained heavily."
"Ah, it must be the rain."
"..."
Seeing Claude's frown, Sephiroth guessed what the other party was thinking: "If you want to get rid of everyone's star marks in one go, you must use the pure flow of life to take away the Jenova cells on them .”
Claude didn't know what to think of, and his brows stretched again: "Since you are already here, Sephiroth, then your spirit no longer exists in the stream of life, then..."
"That's not the case." Sephiroth interrupted him, raising his eyes to look at the blond young man, "Let's put it this way, the will to destroy this planet still exists in the stream of life."
In front of his childhood sweetheart, Claude finally expressed his feelings, covered his face quite directly, and said bluntly: "I don't know... just suddenly..."
Tifa crossed her arms and looked at Claude with a foolish expression, almost the same as Sephiroth's eyes before: "Maybe he has forgotten the matter of destroying the world due to amnesia, but you reminded him instead!"
