A very poorly furnished meeting room.

There was a small square table by the fireplace, and the tablecloth was so old that the bottom was crumpled and torn.

Sira beckoned Lu Yan and Sacco to sit down at the table, and brought two cups of steaming, unsweetened hand-ground coffee.

"Where is he?"

From the moment he entered the house, Sako was looking for his master everywhere, with hatred in his heart.

"Here I am, Sacco, my dear shadow, glad to meet you. ”

Suddenly!

A very abrupt voice came from the next room.

The door leading to the room had been removed, and only a gray linen curtain had been obscured, and the sound was coming from behind the curtain.

“......”

Sacco could hear that it was his master's voice, and he subconsciously grabbed the dagger, and his throat moved, but he didn't make any sound.

Although he had thought of the lines before, he had forgotten them all at this moment.

"It's been thirty years, and I know you're having a bad time...... Especially when the people at Arkham Hospital took you in for medical experiments, and you became a dwarf...... This is where I blame myself the most. ”

The owner behind the curtain continued.

"Hehe, you don't need fake compassion, you may not be doing well now, look at your villa, it's like a dog kennel...... I guess you're going to be a bankrupt bastard by now!"

Sacco stared motionlessly at the curtain, his eyes like arrows, and let out a burst of mockery.

"What's the use of talking about that now?"

The unwilling master sighed and continued, "Sacco, I know that you have always hated me, and I have always wondered why I smeared you and expelled you in the first place. ”

"You should remember that I once told you about my life ideal, I want to be a hero, I want to find the tomb of the wizard, find a way to unravel the shadow of slavery, and let all the shadows in Myeongfa Village be free. ”

"Then I found the Wizard's Tomb, but instead of becoming a hero, instead of finding any clues, I was cursed by the wizard's magic. ”

"When night falls, my whole body decays and I die in pain...... Until dawn the next day, it will be as good as ever......"

"Sira, push me out and let me meet Sacco and his friends. ”

“......”

The story is a bit creepy.

Even Lu Yan felt chills when he heard it.

"Hahaha!"

Sacco was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed wildly again, and mocked, "What a perfect story! Come out, let him come out, I want to pay a good visit to this rotten gentleman!"

Squeak.

There was a noise from the wheelchair wheels, and then the curtain was rolled up, and Cira pushed a completely inhumanoid weirdo out.

He was hunched up, covering his abdomen with only a small blanket, and his face looked like a corpse that had been buried for many days, so corrupted beyond recognition that even Bai Sensen's cheekbones were exposed.

The rest of the torsos were the same, as if they had been sprayed at close range with a shotgun, and were filled with large and small holes.

The pungent smell of decay rushed to his face, and dark black pus and blood continued to flow down, spreading like a snake on the ground, and soon, it flowed to Lu Yan and Sacco's feet.

Such a scene.

Lu Yan and Sacco were all stunned!

"Dear Shadow, what would you do if I had become like this thirty years ago?"

Sacco, the owner of the wheelchair, asked.

“......”

Shadow Sacco was silent.

Maybe he had the answer in his mind, but he couldn't speak.

"You are my shadow and my true friend, of course I will know what you think, and in that case, you will probably ...... Stay and take care of me for the rest of my life. ”

The master, Sacco, let out a long sigh, and pus and blood oozed from under his white eyebone, fell on his thigh, and then dripped down a fully penetrating hole, and finally dripped onto the marble floor with a crackling, clicking sound.

"But the shadow should have a new life for him. ”

"I thought you would hate me if you left me...... But that's only temporary, and then you forget about me and will live well in another place, get married and have children...... It's just that I didn't expect that sometimes hate is more alive than love. ”

"You got worse later...... But I don't have the courage to let you come back, after all, you can laugh and be happy when you kill...... But if you were with me, you would only be accompanied by a living dead, and you would not even have a smile. ”

"Sacco, my shadow, in fact, I only want to say one thing to you, I let you leave because I didn't want you to be dragged down by me. ”

“......”

Shadow Sacco's body trembled, and from behind his mask, a faint liquid flowed from his eyes.

It should be tears.

His breathing became more and more rapid, and he finally couldn't help but rush up and give the owner of the wheelchair a slap: "Fool!

Syllable!

Loud and crisp, accompanied by a piece of carrion that had been pumped away, it was slammed against the white lime porcelain wall, leaving a strange "❤" pattern.

"Whew-"

Then he burst into tears, shaking his master desperately, his nails digging into the carrion, grabbing Sensen's bones, and the two figures almost fused into one.

The coffee in front of Lu Yan was already cold.

He watched all of this with mixed feelings.

Although he had been in the scene for almost the whole night, and there was still Gongzi Huhai's enemy outside, he didn't want to disturb the hug and cry of the master and the shadow.

"Sir, the coffee is cold, I'll go make you a hot one." ”

Ciara walked over and said politely.

"No need. ”

Lu Yan looked at this woman, had a whim, and couldn't help asking, "So...... Sakov, have you been taking care of Mr. Sacco all these years?"

Sira nodded, "Yes, sir." ”

"But what about your shadow? Will she support you in doing so?"

"No, in fact, I am only a shadow of Sila, my master has long since divorced my husband...... Sir, I'd better give you a hot cup of coffee!"

Xila walked to another room with a coffee tray, and behind her, Lu Yan was stunned again......

I don't know when.

Sako the Clown came to Lu Yan's side, he was all dirty, stained with pungent pus and blood.

It's just that the clown mask has been removed, and it's the only clean place, in fact, it looks like a face with a somewhat handsome silhouette.

That face doesn't make people associate with any fear.

"Mr. Lu, I have decided to stay. ”

Sacco threw the clown mask out with all his might, and after drawing an arc, it melted into the night.

Lu Yan looked at him: "Have you decided not to go back to Gotham?"

"Nope. ”

Sacco smiled, "All the shadows are always behind the master, even trampled by him, ignored by him, and seem worthless, but there is no way, from the moment we are born, we are destined to be inseparable." ”

Perhaps, this is the fate of the shadows. ”

"But I think that in this world, there will always be a master who will love his shadow, and there will always be a shadow who will endure all the things in the world and will never abandon his master. ”

"Mr. Lu, this thing is for you, I don't need it anymore. ”

Sacco took out a delicate black box from his arms, stood on tiptoe, and handed it to Lu Yan with both hands.

"Scare Box?!"

Lu Yan has always cared about the reward he received at the end of the scene, but when the reward was really in his hands, he didn't have any joy or sorrow.

He asked, "Sacco, the scare box is the source of your power, and without the source of fear, how are you going to live?"

Sacco smiled and raised his face: "I have lost my fear, but I also have hope." ”
