Chapter 33: The Last Gift
There doesn't seem to be any relationship between the two mentioned by Zero, but in the ears of a very few people, it is a mutual truth that has been glimpsed into the sky.
The Fool is naturally one of the very few, and is one of the best among them.
A faint smile appeared on the fool's face and said: "I never wanted to be the number one in the world, I never thought about it in the past, I don't think about it now, I don't want to think about it in the future." ”
Zero said: "Whether to think about it or not and whether to do it or not are two different things. ”
The fool tilted his head and pondered for a moment and said, "From the objective sobriety of the moment, I am not yet. ”
Zero said: "The world is so big, there are countless people in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but I believe in my vision, one day you will definitely become the number one in the world." ”
The fool smiled bitterly: "I really don't care about this kind of ethereal name, besides, how can there really be any number one in the world from ancient times to the present, it just makes people more and more unable to recognize themselves." ”
Zero said: "People can't recognize how ordinary they are, and how many people can know what they want?"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of the Fool's mouth, and it was unclear if his smile was in favor of Zero's point of view, or if he was mocking the ignorant world.
After a long time, the fool spoke, "What is the name of your departed family?"
Zero said: "I can't remember clearly, it should be a two-digit number." ”
The fool raised his eyebrows and said, "What kind of physical characteristics do you have?"
"White hair. ”
"Ahh Even in modern times, there are still not many young people with gray hair. ”
Needless to say, Zero also knows who the fool is referring to.
The Fool tilted his head back to make his neck more comfortable.
"What kind of person is he?" asked the fool suddenly. At this moment, the goal of the gray-haired young man in question has shifted.
"Very strong. After a long silence, Zero spoke slowly.
"Well, the qualities that every successful person possesses. The fool said indifferently.
Zero said: "Successful people also have strength and luck. ”
The Fool nodded and said, "That's at least respectable." Zero raised the corners of his mouth in disdain.
"How much longer do we need to stay here?" asked Zero to the Fool.
"Why, homesick?" teased the fool.
"My home is long gone, and it's hard to go back to my hometown. ”
"In that case, there is no need to worry, knowing that there is no such majestic viewpoint anywhere else. With that, the fool once again set his eyes on the endless glorious city and land beneath his feet.
Zero leaned down and said, "Can I see my departed family here?"
The fool smiled, "Maybe if you have good eyesight." ”
Zero sighed and said, "When I got him back, I told him I didn't want to see my family die again, and he was determined to die, I thought it was out of his loyalty, but now I realize that it was because of his affection." ”
The fool said: "Affection is affection, and affection is better than ruthlessness." ”
Zero said: "But being affectionate is very deadly. ”
"Do you want to save him again?" asked the fool.
Zero shook his head and said, "There's no need, even God can't save a man who is bent on dying, and he won't survive tonight no matter what the outcome is." ”
"Because of his amorousness?"
Zero nodded and said, "It's a pity that his amorous feelings are not in the organization." ”
The fool smiled: "Children always have to leave home when they grow up." ”
Zero looked at the Fool and said, "In Nightingale, only death has the right to take them away. ”
The fool shrugged his shoulders, looked up at the starry sky and said, "May he rest in peace." ”
In the island cave, Xiaobai leaned quietly on Pooh, facing Hugo.
At this time, Hugo had already released the black demon state on his body, but the huge black wings were still stretching behind him.
During this time, Xiaobai has told Hugo a lot about Nightingale, although Xiaobai is not the core figure of the organization, but the content is still very large. Hugo listened carefully, his thoughts racing, and all the information content was firmly engraved in his heart.
Xiaobai's speech slowed down more and more as he recounted, obviously even with a strong will as a strong support, but the heavy pressure on his body from the injury eventually brought him closer and closer to the brink of death.
After a while, Xiaobai stopped again, closed his eyes and rested, Pooh had stopped crying, and just hugged Xiaobai tightly in his arms, supporting Xiaobai with his body temperature.
Hugo sighed lightly and said, "Thank you for your honesty, it's not too early." "At the moment, I am ready to leave for the time being, giving Xiaobai and Pooh the last time to say goodbye.
Xiao Bai suddenly shook his head and said, "Wait, I said that if you can win me, I will have something else to tell you, so let me take this as your last gift." ”
After that, Xiaobai slowly opened his eyes and said, "Do you want to get the power of the white ghost?"
Hugo was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Xiaobai in some surprise.
The fact that he was able to defeat Xiao Bai was the source of the power of the white ghost was destroyed, and now the countless skeleton bones were soaking in the slow sea water under his feet.
Xiao Bai smiled and said, "As you think, since the power of the white ghost comes from death, how can the power of the white ghost disappear? As long as there is life in this universe, then death will always exist." ”
Hugo frowned and said, "You mean that the white ghost ability coexists with death?"
Xiaobai said: "Theoretically, this is indeed the truth. ”
Hugo said: "There is one thing I have never understood, since the power of the white ghost originally belonged to the skeleton boy, then how could it be inherited by you?"
Xiaobai said: "It's not strange for you to feel strange, the ability of the blasphemer is generally maverick, just like everyone's DNA, it has its own uniqueness. But my relationship with the wolf cub is a little more complicated. ”
After that, Xiaobai's face showed a look of reminiscence of the past.
"I said that I went to the East Island because of my serious illness, and although I was lucky not to die in Doom Day, I was unable to last a few days without professional treatment and maintenance in a long coma. And at the beginning, Thirteen didn't mean to save me, everything stemmed from the little wolf's persistence. ”
Hugo remembered the skeletal boy's seemingly cold and actual gaze full of conviction and nodded, if it was him, maybe he could convince and impress Thirteen.
Xiaobai said: "But the situation at that time was not optimistic. It's hard to save me from the power of a blasphemer alone. And the only way to save me is to sacrifice something from the wolf cub in the most 'equivalent exchange'. Speaking of this, Xiaobai laughed at himself and said, "I know this may sound crazy, like the forbidden exchange of alchemy, but it is true, and what the little wolf paid to save me was his sleep." ”
