Chapter 50: The Endless Nightmare (Reflections) (Part II)
There were five bodies lying on the ground. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
One of them...... It was the corpse of the soul master that Zixiu had allowed him to escape...... It seems that this guy leaked the location of Scarlet.
"Zixiu...... That's what you're talking about...... Crimson Leaf? Seeing Zixiu and Cao Fushang, Scarlet Leaf stepped forward slowly, her bloodstained left hand was holding a maple leafβa maple leaf stained red with blood.
"Scarlet Leaf caught it before it even hit the ground. But...... It didn't fulfill Scarlet's wish. β
"Where's the scarlet leaf...... At that time, I suddenly regretted it, and I didn't receive a call from Zixiu, nor did I wait for Zixiu to pick me up, so Scarlet Leaf made another wish, that is, I hoped that Zixiu would appear by Scarlet Leaf's side soon. β
The scarlet leaf ion repairs them closer and closer.
"Sister......" Zixiu wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Cao Fushang.
"The crimson smoke is a sign of madness, and the crimson leaves have ......"
"But what...... The first to come...... But it's these bad guys...... Sub-repair...... Scarlet Leaf wants to know, is it this Maple Leaf that deceived Scarlet Leaf, or if you deceived Scarlet Leaf! Scarlet Ye's crying became more and more poignant, and the crimson light filaments on her arms were all expanded and released, and Cao Fushang waved his hands to conjure up a wall of light, blocking all the crimson filaments from the wall of light.
"Zixiu! Hold it! Don't get out of the wall of light! β
"Dad...... My sister is crying...... Don't you see? Zixiu turned his head and looked at his father in a daze, "It's okay...... Her eyes had become like this before. But when I gave Scarlet a hug, she went back to her old self. β
"Dad...... Use your abilities to create a pathway for me...... Let me touch Scarlet Leaf...... Even if she touches it once, she will be able to return to the original little girl's appearance...... She's obviously just a child...... Those guys...... Why! Zixiu roared hoarsely, desperately pushing the wall of light towards the scarlet leaf.
"Zi Xiu Wu'er......" Cao Fushang closed his eyes, and the muscles all over his body skyrocketed.
The wall of light followed Zixiu's push, getting closer and closer to the scarlet leaf.
Only to hear the "bang", the wall of light and the crimson light filament were disillusioned at the same time.
Zixiu took advantage of the moment when the two dissipated, and hugged the scarlet leaf tightly.
"Nana, sister, look, although it's not right away, brother, I'm still here."
"Zixiu?" Scarlet Leaf's voice changed back to its former softness.
But this sweet voice only lasted for a short moment.
"After all...... Too late! Scarlet Leaf's hands gathered the crimson tobacco again, and the crimson tobacco converged into two spear tips and stabbed towards Zixiu.
Blood splattered.
Cao Fushang blocked the blow for his son, and his arm was also impaled by crimson tobacco.
"Supreme soul, let me drive!" Following the tobacco threads that pierced his hands, Cao Fushang grabbed Scarlet Ye's hands.
"Dad?"
"Zixiu...... You want to save your sister, right? β
"My father wants to save his daughter. You can't steal the limelight from a stinky boy. β
"At this time...... Still kidding? β
"Zixiu, you remember: a sincere heart and an unyielding will...... It is the source of our Cao family's strength. Henceforth...... No matter what kind of difficulties and obstacles you encounter, you have to smile at your father and get through. β
"Daddy...... You speak as if you are parting from life and death...... Don't put up a flag. β
Cao Fushang smiled slightly, "This is the good son of our Cao family." β
The cyan light filament, along the wound pierced by the crimson filament of the scarlet leaf, flowed into the scarlet leaf's body bit by bit. But the cyan filament of light instead showed a painful look on the scarlet leaf, which eventually made her faint, and the crimson filament continued to fade.
"Now Scarlet Leaf's body has been occupied by the mad soul power in his body. To restrain this power, in addition to sealing the father, we must also make Scarlet Leaf cut off the source of the berserk - that is, to erase you from the world of Scarlet Leaf...... Can you do it for the sake of Scarlet Leaves? Never see her for the rest of your life? β
"Could it be...... Is there no other choice? β
"Scarlet Leaf's parents were killed by the enemy because they wanted to erase the power that Scarlet Leaf carried." Cao Fushang pondered for a while. "What if...... If you really want to save Scarlet Leaf, six years later...... Maybe there will be a chance. In the war six years later, you will be strengthened. At that point, maybe you'll have a way to save her. When the time comes...... There will be someone who is much greater than Daddy...... to guide you ......"
"Six years later? Before that...... Zixiu still wanted to ask something, and with the last trace of cyan light flowing into Scarlet Ye's body, Cao Fushang fell groggily, his body became emaciated from excessive weakness.
"Hey...... Dad...... Don't scare me. Zixiu gently shook Cao Fushang's body.
"Daddy?" Scarlet Ye woke up after falling into a coma, looking at the haggard Cao Fushang, everything in front of her made her fall into deep self-blame.
Seeing that Scarlet Leaf was about to fall into violent emotional fluctuations again, Zixiu hurriedly stroked Scarlet Leaf's head, not letting his father's sacrifice be wasted.
"It's okay...... It's okay...... It's just a nightmare, get a good night's sleep tomorrow. β
"Whew...... Whew, it's still a step too late! A fat man with glasses appeared in front of Zixiu, sweating profusely and panting.
"Are you...... Dad's friend? "This fat man has been a guest at their house a few times before, and Zixiu has an impression.
After briefly understanding what had happened, the fat man sighed.
Such an ending...... Even Fu Shang didn't expect it. Zixiu, you are a sensible child, but your feelings for your sister, as your father said, are likely to become a hidden danger. β
"Hidden dangers?" Zixiu's gaze shifted to the sobbing Scarlet Leaf.
"As a Heavenly Rank Soul Master of the Spirit Department, I have the ability to manipulate other people's memories, if you think that you ...... If you can't let go of your feelings for your sister, I can help you erase it. Six years later, in the war, as your father said, when your soul power is strong enough, these memories will naturally be restored, and I hope that you who are strong enough at that time will save your sister, not now. β
"Zixiu...... Scarlet Leaf ...... Don't separate! Scarlet Leaf seemed to realize Zixiu's thoughts, and hugged Zixiu's arm tightly, unwilling to let go.
"In six years, I'll definitely get strength, right?"
"Yes. Gain the power of a king who doesn't need to submit to anyone. In addition, as for Scarlet Leaf's arrangement, in the past six years, I will also find a way to give her a peaceful life. β
"Sister. Remember the phone? Zixiu smiled and shouted Scarlet Leaf, "Brother begs you to forgive my brother for breaking his promise before, this time, my brother will never lie to you." Please ...... Wait until the day your brother calls you, is that okay? β
Scarlet wiped the tears from her eyes, but her stubborn little head still shook her head firmly.
Zixiu gave Scarlet a big, warm hug.
"When we meet again, my brother made an appointment with Scarlet Leaf: I will never leave Scarlet Leaf's side again in this life, no matter what kind of request Scarlet Leaf makes, as long as my brother can do it, I will definitely help Scarlet Leaf realize it, is it okay?"
Zixiu let go of his embrace and looked into Scarlet Leaf's eyes.
Scarlet just sobbed vigorously, without shaking her head or agreeing.
Six years later, Scarlet Leaf has become a beautiful big girl.
Will anyone chase her in the past six years?
I have to pass my brother's hurdle first.
A life without a dad to fight with.
I don't have a life for my sister either.
Sounds a bit lonely.
Well...... As Dad said, the more you face difficulties, the more you have to move forward with a smile.
"After all, I'm Cao Zixiu......" Zixiu thought silently in his heart.
The fat man's hand rested on Zixiu's forehead.
"It's the son of the Cao family."
Zixiu let go of the hand that was clasped with the ten fingers of the scarlet leaf.
"Descendants of traitors in troubled times!"
"It's really like a middle two movie, and the dialogue of the characters is very ...... Silly. β
The glow of Scarlet Leaf's hands finally dissipated.
I gripped Scarlet's hands tightly and removed them from my face.
"Now, Scarlet Leaf?"
"Huh?"
"That fat man with glasses is my Uncle Hong, who died when I was a freshman; And after that, how did you live? β
"Scarlet Leaf is waiting for your call. Because you said, it will definitely call. β
"Why didn't you call me?"
"Because of that...... It will become a scarlet leaf and break the contract, and then you will never get your promise again. β
"That promise......" I let go of Scarlet Leaf's hand, half-covering my eyes, and letting the bitter stream wash over my body, "The promise...... I'm not impressed. Six years later, I still don't remember anything. β
"It's okay...... You still called Scarlet Leaf. "Even though it's no longer as innocent as it used to be, I can still see some shadows of the past in Scarlet Leaves.
"I really don't understand...... You're so stupid...... It took six years to wait for so many clever contracts to happen...... What exactly is it like...... What is it like ......?"
Obviously, the men of the Cao family will always face life with a smile......
But the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled, and they rushed out, slid down her cheeks, and merged into the stream.
"What the hell is like my clever brother, bastard!"
