Chapter 68: The Last Entrustment
"Hey, is there any wine?" the skeleton boy pouted, shook the empty wine bottle in his hand and looked at Xiaobai, the meaning could not be more obvious.
Although Xiaobai was reluctant, considering the skeleton boy's mood, he still reached out to the miniature storage compartment of the motorcycle and took out a tin wine jar and threw it to the skeleton boy.
The skeleton boy opened the wine can, put it under his nose, sniffed it lightly, and smiled: "Good thing, you kid is not kind, why didn't you give this to me directly just now?"
Xiaobai said: "If you want to drink, drink it, where did you get so much nonsense! Or pay me back." ”
"Uh-huh. The skeleton boy shook his head immediately, then greedily poured a little into his mouth, then nodded contentedly.
Xiaobai looked at the skeleton boy's appearance that didn't care about everything, and a feeling of hatred for iron and steel suddenly rose in his heart.
"Don't you plan for your future?" asked Xiao Bai with some eagerness.
The skeleton boy smiled, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth with his hand, and then patted his thin body with his hand and said, "Don't you know what I look like here? What future do you talk about with a dying man? If I talk about cremation or water burial, I might be more interested." ”
Hearing this, Xiaobai couldn't help but think of the scarred body under the skeleton boy's clothes, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour, and reason told him that the skeleton boy was not lying, but the balance of emotions was unwilling to tilt to the side of the truth.
"Maybe... What else can be done. Xiaobai said unconvinced, but he also realized that even he couldn't hear his voice clearly.
The skeleton boy heard his words clearly, and laughed and said, "Solution? If my blasphemer ability is to freely manipulate the soul to any medium, then I still have the possibility of living, but unfortunately I don't have that ability." ”
With that, the skeleton boy looked down at his tattooed palm and said, "I've been sitting on the work of the Grim Reaper for so many years, and now it's almost time for me to return to the arms of the Grim Reaper." "I really can't imagine that a teenager who is only about the same grade as Hugo would look at life and death in the world very lightly.
Xiaobai found that no matter what he said, he would eventually be refuted by the skeleton boy, which was undoubtedly a very painful thing for Xiaobai, who had never been good at talking.
After Xiaobai pondered for a while, he finally made a final attempt at persuasion.
"Even if you only have the last few days left in your life, you should live a little more self-consciously, and you can stay with Jasmine before you die, so it's better to take it with you for a few days. Although these words are simple, they can indeed arouse people's last attachment to life and the world, and sometimes people are not intoxicated and infatuated by the prosperity of this world, but because there are people in the world that they care about.
Sure enough, the skeleton boy also fell silent when he heard this, which shows that Xiaobai's words are very tempting, just when Xiaobai thought he was successful, the skeleton boy still shook his head and said, "It's a pity, it's still not good..."
"Why?" said Xiao Bai excitedly, a cloud of sad anger had already sprung up in his heart.
"I'm going to go to District 13 earlier than Jasmine, you don't know yet, the leader is going to tell everyone soon, we're going to join forces with TAROT to do something in District 13 in a few days, it might cause some riots, so it's a very troublesome thing. ”
Xiaobai frowned, he realized that something was wrong, although there was also a hierarchy of dignity and inferiority in the organization, but there was never enough precedent for notifying different individuals of things, and this action was that the skeleton boy knew before himself or even others, so the matter became a little confusing.
"Will Black 17 and White 18 also go with you?" Xiao Bai quickly asked, and the skeleton boy took a sip of wine and shook his head, "The mission is special, I will go alone." ”
Xiaobai's hunch was finally confirmed, and Xiaobai said in a deep voice, "I'll go with you!" The skeleton boy raised his eyelids and said, "Just kidding." ”
Xiaobai Zaiya couldn't help but say angrily: "There is to cooperate with the action, it is simply to treat you as an outcast!"
The sound echoed under the night sky, and it was unusually loud.
The skeleton boy reached out and scratched his head, his dark eyes blinking in the dark night, "Abandoned son, what's wrong?"
This time, Xiaobai was completely speechless.
The skeleton boy said: "In the chess game, the abandoned son is not admitting defeat, but giving up a momentum in exchange for the reversal of the whole situation to gain an advantage, so the abandoned son is not sad, if you really want to say it, it can only be regarded as tragic, but thinking of the future victory, no matter how great the tragedy is worth it, after all, as long as there is a struggle, there must be sacrifice." ”
After listening to the words of the skeleton boy, Xiaobai knew that he was completely dead set on doing these things, and no matter what he said, he could not reverse the change. I don't know why, Xiaobai only felt that his eye sockets were sour at the beginning, and the night breeze blew in his face, making tears continue to roll in his eyes.
The skeleton boy leisurely drank his wine and said: "You and I are both considered to be people who have entered the world, we are much luckier than others, you may have to be lucky, and you don't have to bear much, but you don't have to blame yourself, everything I did was because it was because I carried too much of it, although it was not my fault, but I feel sorry for all of you." After a pause, the skeleton boy smiled wryly.
"If I don't come back from the 13th arrondissement this time, you don't have to be sad, if you can't remember my death day, then sprinkle some on me every time I drink, although I don't like to drink, but I want to drink some wine at another time to relieve my boredom, after all, a drink can relieve a thousand sorrows. ”
"Don't worry about Jasmine or anything, she's a very strong girl, and I'm sure he'll have his own life, and that's not something that I or Hugo can control. I made a terrible impression on her and didn't want to give her any more trouble. ”
"Hugo, you should pay more attention to this person, although he has the same purpose as going out of the East Island, but he is still different from us. I saw it in him... Something more promising, not just revenge. With that, the skeleton boy grinned.
"But there is also a hidden terrible power in him, if that power breaks out, I am afraid that there will be a second tragedy of the destruction of the East Island, so in the future I hope you can pay more attention to it, even if I am not in this world, I still don't want to see that kind of tragedy happen a second time. Call... Kill him when necessary, at any cost. ”
After a pause, the skeleton boy said to Xiao Bai seriously: "Finally, unless you have to, never use the power of the Revenant Soul like me. ”
