At the moment when the Yuehua fragment merged with the main body, a huge explosion shook the heavens and the earth, and the huge purple ball of light engulfed Yue Ling and Gu Lichuan, who were closest to it.

The members of the special operations team looked at the ball of light in the sky, waiting for the final result.

"Lethe ......" muttered as she looked at the purple ball of light above the sky.

In the midst of the explosion, Gu Lichuan curled up his arms to protect his body, the purple light and powerful air currents generated by the explosion roared past him, he tried his best to support this powerful impact, if it weren't for the power of the silver pupil to protect his body, I am afraid that he would have been torn to pieces by this force and turned into powder.

From between the gaps in his arms, he saw Yue Ling on the other side screaming in pain, Yuehua was still trembling violently in her hands at the moment, and bursts of purple energy ripples kept coming out of it. Her face was covered with purple lines, similar to those on the altar in Lop Nur, pointing endlessly to the unknown, to lilac death.

"Mingming...... It's just a little bit!" Yue Ling gritted her teeth, her body began to slowly erode like sand from her feet, she looked down in horror at the changes in her body, and then raised her head to look at Gu Lichuan.

Gu Lichuan stood up straight, lowered his arms, and looked at her without hesitation. Although his face was swept away by the aftermath of Yuehua's energy, he felt that he should not retreat at this moment, let alone hide it.

Similarly, Yueling also regained her composure. The defeat is decided, and there is no way to return to the sky, so it is better to be calm.

The two stood in silence, with a terrifying loud noise in their ears.

"I've worked hard for so many years," Yue Ling spoke, the lines on her face began to glow, and at the same time, her white face burned by the stars and the smooth neck cut by the white fox were also restored, "I designed to kill my sister's lover, stole Yuehua's 'watch' to introduce alien attacks, and even killed my loved one......"

Gu Lichuan didn't speak, but looked at her quietly.

"But as soon as you arrive," Yue Ling looked up at Gu Lichuan, there was no hatred in her eyes, only a trace of indifference and mockery, "My plan collapsed like a sand tower." ”

"Is this my fate?" she said, tears beginning to roll down her face. The erosion had crawled from her ankles to her legs.

Gu Lichuan took a step forward, and he found that the control of the Hand of God was long gone, but he could stand in the ball of light out of thin air, standing above the void.

He walked up to Yueling step by step: "Yuelong doesn't want to be the king of Moonlight City, and you weren't born to be the king of Moonlight City, maybe a hundred years later, there will be no more wars, no more weapons, and no more monarchs in this Moonlight City." Yuelong insisted on her choice, and you also insisted on your choice - it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's just one of the results, but everyone has the right to choose. ”

Hearing Gu Lichuan's words, Yueling shook violently as if she had received some inexplicable impact.

On that day, Yuelong, who was entangled in light, had blood stains on her eyes, standing on the central square, looking at Yueling, who was pretending to keep her, and said the same thing.

"Sister, everyone has the right to choose. ”

After five years, I finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

Smiling slightly, Yueling stretched out her hand and handed the Yuehua in her hand to Gu Lichuan: "Thank you." ”

Gu Lichuan bowed slightly and took Yuehua over.

"I apologize to my father and Long on my behalf. Yueling smiled, at this moment she had disappeared to just above her collarbone.

"Tell Lian Pu," Yueling closed her eyes, as if she was asleep, "I'm sorry, I ......"

Before she could finish speaking, her figure drifted into the air like smoke.

Gu Lichuan nodded heavily, he understood Yueling's words: "I will tell him." ”

"Uh-huh," Suddenly, a playful voice sounded behind Gu Lichuan, "I really can't imagine that my Lechuan is so powerful." ”

Gu Lichuan turned his head suddenly, a light of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Behind him, in the purple afterglow, Rita was looking at him with her hands behind her back, smiling. The afterglow enveloped her figure, making it difficult to see, but her voice was so clear, as if she could reach out and grab it.

"Rita!" Gu Lichuan took a step forward and stretched out his hand.

Unexpectedly, Rita also took a step back and reached out to stop Gu Lechuan Duo's advance.

"Lechuan, don't come here," she laughed, her smile as warm as ever, like the winter sun, "just let me see you." ”

A look of disappointment flashed in Gu Lichuan's eyes, but he still stopped, and the light of the silver pupils finally went out at this time.

"You ......"

"I'll go, why hasn't Gu Lichuan come out yet?" the white fox stared at the purple ball of light. At this moment, the explosions had stopped, and the city of moonlight had finally returned to calm, and the central square was reduced to ruins, and there was not a single intact thing left in the place of battle. But that purple ball of light stood in the sky and refused to dissipate for a long time, making everyone in the special operations team not only sweat for Gu Lichuan, who was still in it.

"What's the matter, hasn't Gu Lichuan come out yet?" Mu Yi, who was carrying a sniper rifle, walked slowly.

Xingchen sat on the ground and nodded silently, beside him, Ying Lan had begun to use the hand of God to help him heal, and the hollow in his shoulder began to slowly repair, and the white bones of Sensen were faintly visible.

"Then wait," after speaking, Mu Yi put down the gun and sat on the ground, "Thanks to Gu Lichuan, otherwise this task will take some twists and turns." ”

Everyone nodded approvingly.

The white fox looked down at Xingchen, looked at his face, squatted down and slowly leaned over, and smiled sheepishly: "I said, why don't you go all out?"

Hearing this, Xingchen also raised his head to look at him.

"If you can do your best, you won't get hurt, and you won't let the mission end so long. ”

Xingchen lowered his head again, silently looking at the ground.

Ying Lan didn't speak, just silently helped Xingchen heal.

The white fox didn't continue, but stared at him intently, waiting for his answer.

After a long time, Xingchen spoke: "If I really use all my strength, it will not be just Yue Ling who will be destroyed. ”

Listening to his reply, the white fox nodded: "That will be the entire Moonlight City." ”

......

"Rita, why don't you let me touch you?" Gu Lichuan looked at Rita and asked puzzled.

"No, why," Rita looked down at her feet, her slightly curled blonde hair fluttering gently, "Rita is happy now, because Lethe can already protect herself. ”

Gu Wangchuan's heart suddenly tingled, as if he had experienced that parting again.

"Then why did you ...... that day" Gu Lichuan looked at her, "Why did you kill me?"

Rita was stunned for a moment: "I've never done that." ”

Gu Lichuan's eyes widened in surprise. He felt dizzy, dreams, reality, dazzling light, paused time, the moment when he didn't even notice the silver pupils, which one was true and which was false?

Who is leaving me?

Who strangled me?

Who wants to kill Lingering?

Who is standing in front of me now?

"Lethe," Rita looked at him, smiling so movingly, but heartbreakingly, "forget Rita, there will be someone new to love you." With that, she stepped forward and opened her arms to Gu Lichuan.

New people?

Gu Lichuan stood there stunned and accepted Rita's hug.

Neither of them spoke, only the purple ball of light that wrapped them slowly dimmed.

Slowly, Rita let go of the arm holding Gu Lichuan, tears shining in her eyes.

"Go, Lethe, they're all waiting for you. ”

With that, she shoved him in the chest.

It was obviously an insignificant force, but Gu Lichuan fell backwards without resistance. He looked at Rita, who was still standing in the ball of light, and for a moment he had mixed feelings, and his chest was blocked there like a ball of wool.

"Rita!Rita!!"

In a burst of hoarse shouts, the ball of light dissipated instantly, and Gu Lichuan's body fell heavily to the ground.

A wave of lightheadedness.

"Gu Lichuan!" Listening to the anxious cries of his companions, he looked at the sky, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

The sky seems to be getting brighter.

He only remembered that the last person in front of him was the panicked Yinglan, who was gently shaking herself, and the first light of dawn came from the other side of the sky, shining on her body, which was very moving.

......

"Boss. Andre looked at Long Ao, and the instrument in his hand fell into a dead silence.

Long Ao looked at the altar in front of him. At this moment, the light on the lines no longer emitted, and the entire altar fell into the state that had just appeared. It was past noon, but Xingchen and the others did not return.

"What to do?" Andrei asked him.

Long Ao slowly lit a cigarette, stood there, and looked at the altar: "Wait." ”

......

Gu Lichuan opened his eyes, his head was groggy, as if he had been hit hard by a blunt object.

After he had some intuition, the scene in front of him gradually became clear.

The sky was blue, ruins, ruins.

"He woke up. He heard the voice of the lingering lan.

"I'm awake. The white fox echoed.

Then, he found himself lying on the back of the stars.

So he shook his groggy head and jumped off the back of the star.

"What is this?"

Then he turned around and saw the smiling Yue Hongxuan and Yue Long, and then looked back, countless people.

Yuelong held a delicate box with some quaint totems depicted on it.

"We won," White Fox began, "thanks to your plan, we won." You've saved Moonlight. ”

Gu Lichuan finally eased up, and the previous things came up again.

Giant insect kings, shining moonlight, and beating flames.

There are also parting deceased.

Yue Hongxuan stepped forward: "Thank you." You are willing to help us put down the rebellion in Moonlight City, and your deeds will never be forgotten, and it will be glorious along with the history of Moonlight City. ”

Everyone smiled embarrassedly, thinking about Yuehua's affairs.

"I know that you are actually here for the power of Yuehua," Yue Hongxuan had a smile on his face, a smile of relief, "So I decided to give Yuehua to you." ”

Hearing this, Gu Lichuan was taken aback.

"City Lord, Yuehua is the treasure of Moonlight City, this ......"

Yue Hongxuan shook his head and stopped Gu Lichuan's question: "Because of this moonlight, my Moonlight City has been ruined, so don't want this treasure." The alien king is dead, and the side veil of Moonlight City has been restored, and that is enough. ”

So Xingchen stepped forward and took the box in Yuelong's hand that contained Yuehua without losing etiquette.

"We were already planning to leave just now," Ying Lan stepped forward and said to Gu Lichuan, "I didn't expect you to wake up at the time of parting, it's good luck." ”

Gu Lichuan smiled, and Rita's words flashed in his ears again.

"There will be new people to love you. ”

Is it Haunting?

If yes, that's great.

"That Captain Lian Pu," the white fox smiled evilly, "what is the city lord going to do with it?"

Yue Hongxuan sighed: "Lian Pu's matter is really hard to discuss, he originally fell in love with Yue Ling to do this." I decided to wait for him to recover from his injuries and send him to the frontier to make meritorious contributions. I also thank that little brother for not only saving my life, but also saving Lian Pu. ”

He was referring to Mu Yi.

Mu Yi nodded: "This arrangement is the best. ”

Suddenly, the box in Xingchen's hand shook slightly, and then, under the feet of everyone in the center of the central square, a purple pillar of light rushed into the sky.

"It seems that the time of parting has come. Mu Yi patted Gu Lichuan on the shoulder.

"Everyone," Yue Hongxuan stepped forward and bowed slightly, "There will be a period later." ”

So everyone in the special operations team also bowed and nodded their heads.

"Lethe!" Suddenly, Yuelong stepped forward and stood outside the pillar of light, "Thank you! Thank you for saving the entire Moonlight City!"

Gu Lichuan laughed: "Yuelong, live well, don't leave your hometown again." ”

Suddenly, he remembered something.

"That's right! Yueling asked me to tell you and the city lord, I'm sorry!"

The light became more and more intense, and the other party in Gu Lichuan and Yuelong's eyes began to blur.

"And what Yueling wants to say to Lian Pu! I love ......."

With a "whew", everything disappeared, leaving only Yuelong standing there alone, smiling and tears intertwined, shining with the light of happiness.

"Sister, in fact, you have never been lonely. ”

A promise has to go through how many lives and deaths, and a promise has to cross many barriers.

A purple moon reflects many memories, a string of bloodstains, a shining history.

Tonight, may the purple moon rise as usual.
