The Tomb of the Fox and the Crow Chapter 167 Get What You Want
The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on Bai Gu's body.
He sat motionless on the rock, surrounded by black monsters he had slain slowly dissipating into smoke and dissipating in the sunlight.
Bai Gu looked down at the winding totem that snaked on his chest, the purple pattern shining like a breath. Every inch of his skin, every bone, every tissue exuded unspeakable pain, and breathing became a torture for his lungs and ribs. And these pains are the food for his immortal body, and the price for him to choose to become a "pseudo-god" to hunt down and kill Xuan Junyang.
He began to understand the meaning of the evil god possessing him. This is not a favor, this is a curse - from this day on, I will sink forever in the world, walking on the earth like a zombie, suffering all the pain and suffering without being able to free myself.
......
"By the time I slay those dark shadows, the sun had already risen. The white fox drank as if he were telling someone else's story.
The members of the special operations team sitting on the side listened to his story and were silent for a while.
"Jane's body is buried in that deep pit, I can't find it, I can't dig it up," the white fox turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, the sea of clouds was churning, dyed with a warm afterglow, as if it was burning, "When I calmed down, it was hard to accept the fact that the gods were not fake, there was an even more terrifying existence outside the sky, and my best friend killed my fiancΓ©e in order to be one of them." β
With that, he stretched, almost exhaling all the breath in his stomach.
"I've been living in Greenland for 10 years. It was quiet, and there were often aurora lights, but I never saw those black monsters again, and I didn't wait for Xuan Junyang. I can feel like I'm not human anymore. Then I don't need to call myself a human name, but a beast's name is more appropriate. β
"What about after that?" Mu Yi interjected, and while the white fox was telling his story, Ying Lan had almost healed his shoulder injury, "The war broke out, where did you go?"
"Where can I go?" the white fox shrugged, "I went back to my hometown first. My home was already in a dilapidated stateβmy father died of illness, my eldest brother couldn't find my whereabouts, but I was dead, the Japanese came and the family property was seized, and my eldest brother was nowhere to be found. β
"So...... What about White Crowe?"
"I didn't find it," the white fox shook his head, as if he had a vague memory of that period, "I also tried to go to the Xuan family to investigate, but the result was beyond my expectations: as early as the Northern Expedition, his family had already fallen apart. That is, he had no home before we left for Greenland. And he didn't tell me anything about it. β
After a pause, the white fox raised the empty cup and motioned for Xingchen to pour him some more.
"I didn't stay in the country for long, there was nothing left for me to be nostalgic about. I went to Europe and went to war. That's where I met Evanβthe big soldier. β
"Speaking of that man, why does he hate you so much that he would rather follow that devil than fight you?" asked Yinglan.
The white fox smiled bitterly: "That's another story." β
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Ying Lan didn't ask any more. After this battle, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted. Besides, the battlefield is the kind of hell on earth, and naturally there are reasons not to let people reminisce.
"When the war was over, I returned to England. The house was not blown into ruins by the Germans, perhaps because it was in the middle of nowhere, and there was nothing worth blowing up," said this, and the white fox seemed to be interested again, "I redecorated Jane's house, and searched for traces of Xuan Junyang while studying the remaining materials. And so I was bored for many years. β
At this time, Xingchen walked in with the white fox's wine and picked up the conversation: "Until I find you." β
"Yes," White Fox stretched out his hand to take the wine, "until one day Yellow Fur found me and asked me to join the special operations team." I don't know how they found me, but I felt that staying in such an organization would always be able to get more information about Xuan Junyang, so I joined. β
At this point, the white fox has told all his stories. I could see that he was unusually relaxed now, and took the wine and drank it.
"Hmph, now that White Crowe is dead, you can rest assured!"
After being shaken, the white fox almost spilled the wine: "You slow down, splash me." β
Ying Lan grinned and hid beside Gu Lichuan.
"I've been in the special operations team, a team with the theme of 'loving each other' for so long, that I've almost forgotten my original purpose. It wasn't until Evan appeared in front of me that day that the dark shadows under the pyramid reminded me of Xuan Junyang again. Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that Xuan Junyang, a bastard, would give himself the name of White Crowe. Is my surname White in honor of me? β
In just a few words, Bai Gu drank the wine in the cup again.
At this time, Gu Wangchuan, who had been listening to the story beside him, finally spoke: "Since Xuan Junyang is dead, isn't the power of that evil god ...... Can the two be reunited?"
As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the cabin. Naturally, everyone didn't want to face the alien gods who had completely collapsed human civilization just after they had solved Xuan Junyang, which would simply cost them their lives.
Fortunately, the white fox waved his hand to dispel everyone's doubts: "No problem." Although this half of my body is still attached to my body, the other part has been sucked into the 'golden toilet' along with Xuan Junyang. Unless someone finds it and pushes it away, the other half of the force will probably never see the light of day again. β
Speaking of this, the white fox suddenly let out a hearty laugh: "Hahahaha! I was still thinking about what if I killed Xuan Junyang one day and the power of this evil god would be reunited." Now it seems completely redundant!Gu Lichuan, I really have to thank you!"
After laughing for a while, the white fox stopped laughing. Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, and he suddenly turned his head to look out the window and stopped talking. Everyone could only see that his body suddenly trembled, as if he was trying his best to suppress his feelings.
"Eh," he stabbed the white fox in the back with a gun from afar, and Mu Yi laughed, "You can't be crying, right?" β
Gu Lichuan looked at the white fox's violently trembling back with some sympathy, not knowing whether to comfort him or not. After all, none of the people present could understand him: a lonely soul who had been betrayed by his friends and had been displaced for a hundred years in a world without relatives, who had witnessed the flow of life again and again, and witnessed countless evils and betrayals in the world, was finally liberated today. He could have had a life of ups and downs but beauty: teaching in England, spending time with Jane through the hardships of World War II and enjoying the rest of his life, closing his eyes contentedly at the end of his life, or he could have chosen to leave the world behind and bury himself in the dust with his lover when the cave collapsed and he was almost dead.
But he didn't. Maybe he felt that he was responsible when he knew the truth, and he should fight with Xuan Junyang for the sake of this world, or maybe he just hated, he hated Xuan Junyang's betrayal, hated Xuan Junyang's hope of killing him.
Whatever it is, the white fox has gone through a long period of loneliness and pain. In the end, the sudden ease and countless grievances are naturally incomprehensible to them.
The white fox stretched out his hand and wiped his eyes, then turned around again: "Alas. As soon as he said "sigh", tears flowed out uncontrollably, causing him to quickly bow his head and wipe it with his sleeve.
Everyone watched in silence, waiting for him to calm down.
The sobbing slowly stopped, and the white fox shook his head, full of emotion: "I met Xuan Junyang in the first year of the Republic of China, and I was betrayed by him in 1927, and it has been almost a hundred years since then. I have lived on this earth for more than a hundred years to take revenge on him. Now that he is dead, it can be regarded as his obsession for a hundred years. Gu Lichuan, I have to thank you. Without you, I'm afraid I'd have continued to wander this world for an unknown amount of time. β
Gu Lichuan shook his hand a little embarrassedly: "I also did this to recover Ying Lan." Besides, since I met you, doing these things is not something to boast about. β
The white fox nodded, he had never felt so easy as he was now. He looked at his teammates in front of him, and the time he had spent playing with Jane and Xuan Junyang at the table and in the attic flashed back in front of his eyes like a phantom.
"My goal has been accomplished, and although I still can't end my life with death, I can finally give Jane an explanation, and I'm finally no longer a monster who only thinks about revenge," said White Fox, laughing, "From now on, you can call me by my original name." β
At this point, the cabin should have been filled with a warm atmosphere. But he didn't watch out for Bai Gu coldly revealing an extremely obscene and evil-hearted expression.
Following his gaze, everyone focused on Ying Lan.
"Don't you talk about it?" Looking at Ying Lan, who was stunned under everyone's gaze, Bai Gu asked strangely.
Ying Lan felt that she was about to face a difficult problem that she couldn't argue with, so she looked elsewhere to avoid Bai Gu's gaze: "What did you say?"
"What's the matter with you and Xuan Junyang, and that young man with blue hair?" Bai Gu shook his head, completely unable to see that he was still in tears just now.
Ying Lan was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at Gu Lichuan.
Gu Lichuan closed his eyes and coughed fakely. He himself was also very curious about why Ling Han was so good to Ying Lan, and why Ying Lan chose to marry White Crowe.
Seeing that Gu Lichuan didn't help him speak, Yinglan pursed her mouth and showed an aggrieved look: "This is not far from the company, just forget my father's words behind his ass!"
Seeing Ying Lan's appearance, Gu Lichuan couldn't hold back his laughter: "You also said that I was almost killed by Ling Han." If it weren't for your ability to save my life, you would be a widow of the Crowe family by now. β
"I'm here to save you, too!" Ying Lan reached out and pinched Gu Lichuan's cheek, pulling it vigorously back and forth, left and right, "My dad said that he was going to kill you, and I was also in a hurry and had no choice." You think I'll be happy when I say I'll marry him, and I'm holding a gun to my chin and asking my dad to swear that he won't kill you if I marry White!"
Hearing Ying Lan's words, Gu Lichuan wanted to say hard, but he was pulled by Ying Lan's face and couldn't speak, so he could only let out some vague syllables of "woo wow" in his mouth.
"As for Ling Han, then he grew up with me since he was a child, and he is just my personal bodyguard!"
After speaking, Ying Lan let go of her hand, reached out and touched Gu Lichuan's pinched red face, and asked word by word: "Now you finally understand, right!
"Got it, I know, my Miss Yinglan," Gu Lichuan frowned and showed a reluctant smile, "However, it's great that you can come back." β
When he said this, Ying Lan didn't know how to respond for a while. I had to bow my head and fiddle with the clothes I had just changed with a red face.
