Chapter 35: Death in vain
In spite of oneself.
This is a phrase that everyone can relate to, and when the opportunity to come back from the dead comes to you, it is not all lucky, but also the crisis and responsibility that comes with it.
Although Xiaobai did not explain the reason, he eventually chose to implant the Tritogramia Stone Carving into his body, and inherited the power of the white ghost through the special resonant connection between himself and the skeleton boy, perhaps to gain that great power, or to commemorate his deceased best friend in this unique way.
Xiaobai's confession made Hugo suddenly look at the sun, and looked at the wound on Xiaobai's chest in a daze.
Xiaobai didn't know what Hugo was thinking, but Hugo had a covetous heart for the stone in his body, Xiaobai smiled and said: "Don't worry, even if you take that stone, it is not even as useful as a cup of hot coffee for me." After that, he smacked his lips and said, "I really want to have a cappuccino..."
The tears that had been holding him began to flow down again.
Xiaobai looked at Hugo and said, "Can you help me buy a cup of coffee?" ”
Hugo knew that this was just a request from Xiaobai to leave for the time being, and in the last days of his life, he wanted to spend time with Pooh and the others.
Hugo nodded lightly, the information that Xiaobai told him tonight was far beyond his expectations, especially the stone carving of Tritocleia in his body at the end, which solved many things for Hugo.
"Thank you. Hugo whispered, and then spread his wings and flew out of the hole.
When Hugo's figure disappeared into the darkness, Xiaobai turned his head and chuckled at Pooh: "The nasty light bulb is finally gone." ”
Pooh knew that this was the last moment between himself and Xiaobai, tears flowed down like a river, Xiaobai wanted to wipe away Pooh's tears with his fingers, but his arms were so cold that he couldn't send out the slightest strength.
"Well, you look like this, I'm not at ease when I leave. Xiaobai's voice also began to tremble, such a vulnerable side was something he had never shown in front of others.
"I won't let you go!" Winnie whimpered in pain.
Xiaobai said: "What kind of stupid words, how can life and death in the world be decided by individuals, I was lucky enough to escape a trace of all the luck in this life, and then to be able to meet you is a great gift from God to me, now God wants to take back these, I have no unwillingness and complaints, only gratitude." After that, Xiaobai's Adam's apple swelled.
“... Maybe there will still be regrets..."
Pooh's choked throat completely reduced to a wail, and two lines of cloudy tears also slid down Xiaobai's cheeks.
Two young men waited in the cold, damp dark cavern for death to come, waiting for them to be ruthlessly separated.
After crying for a long time, Xiaobai said slowly: "I have deceived you many things over the years, but I have never had a trace of hypocrisy in my love for you. Pooh nodded heavily, her shaggy hair falling down her forehead, obscuring half of her delicate face.
Xiaobai's breathing suddenly suffocated during the sudden confession, and after a while, he coughed heavily before adjusting his breathing smoothly.
"Hehe, I finally understand how the little wolf felt in the last days. That's not an ability that should belong to human beings, and imposing it will only hurt others and hurt oneself..."After a pause, Xiaobai said to Pooh: "After I die, you don't have to blame anyone, everyone who becomes a blasphemer has their own misfortunes, although I died because of Hugo, but I don't blame him, after all, I owe him." ”
Pooh shook his head slowly and said, "I don't blame anyone..."Pooh's voice was slightly low, but at this time, Xiaobai, who was getting weaker and weaker, had no time to pay attention to Pooh's changes.
"I'm not a legend in my life, but I'm different. You haven't experienced those who don't know how complicated it is. ”
Xiao Bai swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva vigorously and said, "Although the leader is not a tolerant person, I don't think I will attack you, after all, I am dead, and you are really worthless to her." As for Hugo's side, I won't embarrass you, the information I said earlier is enough to exchange you for a few lives..."
Speaking of this, Xiaobai slowly closed his eyes, as if he wanted to take a break, but he didn't open his eyes again.
"Remember to have your performance tonight, how effective is it?" asked Xiaobai softly.
"It was a success, at least that's what I think. The audience worked well, and Hugo hijacked me after the show. ”
"Haha, he's a bit human. The corners of Xiaobai's mouth showed a happy smile.
"I'm sorry, I didn't have time to watch your show, I'm so sorry..."
"It's okay, it's okay," Pooh shook his head vigorously.
Xiao Bai's finger joints flicked a few times, tapping lightly on his knee.
"I gave up your guitar just now to save you, otherwise it would really be like listening to you play a song..."
Pooh looked at the extremely dark cave, and when he wanted to get up and go to the bottom of the cave, Xiaobai could stop him with a sound.
"Don't try it, and don't say you can go down, even if you find the guitar, he'll be ruined and can't play... Whew, Pooh, hum me softly. ”
Pooh whispered, "What do you want to hear?"
Xiaobai said: "It doesn't matter... Just hum the tune I played when we first met. ”
Pooh burst into tears and said, "You were beating a lot of music at the time, and it wasn't a song at all." ”
Xiaobai smiled and said: "It's not that my beat is messy, but when I see you, my heart is messed up..."
Pooh's nose twitched, tears dripping down Xiaobai's cheeks like a curtain of broken threads.
"Is it raining?" muttered in an inaudible voice, without telling Hugo that it was raining in the sky on the day he woke up on the East Island.
Pooh hummed softly, his palms gently patting on Xiaobai's body, as if a mother was lulling her child to sleep.
The tune rises slowly, and there is no specific score, just Pooh's freewheeling humming.
It's hard to remember the tune of the sunset encounter that day, but the face in the golden light and the happiness from the heart will never be forgotten.
...
When the whole time was still immersed in darkness, the skyline by the sea was the first to usher in a once shallow fish white.
Hugo spread his wings and rode the wind and waves above the sea.
In his arms he was holding a brand new resin insulated box containing two large cups of piping hot cappuccino.
When Hugo galloped to the entrance of the cave, his body froze.
The cave was quiet, eerily quiet. The most important thing is that Hugo can no longer feel the flowing blasphemous aura on Xiaobai's body.
Hugo closed his eyes and sighed softly.
"Is it still a step too late..."
