A team of five made their way through the dimly lit sewers of Kurelli City. Despite the lack of light, Garrot was clearly familiar with the place, and as soon as he pushed the wall in front of him, a secret door appeared, or a brick in one of the corners of the wall was pushed in, and a new passage was opened in a place where there was no road.

"You're familiar with this place. Although he has been staying at the back of the team, Ye Xiang has always paid attention to Garlot's every move. "Every stone, every wall, looks like you know it all by heart, otherwise you would have done it so easily. ”

"I've already said that I've not been here for a day or two. Garrot said without looking back. "When I first came here, I had to stay in this filthy sewer for some reason, and now that I think about it, the experience has really helped. ”

"I'm getting more and more interested in your past. Ye Xiang kept staring at his back, and the more mysteries there were about this man, the more he was interested. "Now that we're comrades in the trenches, are you sure you don't tell us anything all the time?"

Garrot suddenly stopped, nearly crashing into him with Nicholas and Raven, who were following him and holding Shore. "Would you like to hear a story?" he said, tilting his head, "I'm bored here anyway, so I'll talk as I go." ”

Ye Xiang squinted slightly, he still had some doubts in his heart. Could this man really reveal his past? It doesn't look like he's ready to lie, but he's been hiding his identity for so long, is he really going to tell it now?

"I want to hear about it. Ye Xiang said in a flat tone as much as possible, he didn't want Garrot to gain insight into his thoughts.

Garrot continued to lead the way, and in the darkness he began to tell his story in a tone that could be described as very delicate and gentle, which did not seem at all consistent with his otherwise free and casual nature.

"I used to live in a happy family where I had a father and two older brothers who were older than me. Although my father was very strict at times, he always cared for the three of us, and he was always the most loving father to us. ”

"My brothers also cared about me, and we would study together, play together, play pranks together, and it was a wonderful time to think about it now. My brothers taught me what justice is, what fraternity is, and what I believe in my beliefs, and I think they are the best brothers in the world. ”

"Back in the days we were happy, no one bothered us, and we were free to play in our own paradise. It was a time when you didn't have to take responsibility, you didn't have to think about so many things. ”

Garrot turned left at the intersection ahead, while the group behind him remained silent as he continued to tell his story.

His tone became slightly heavier: "But there will always be an end to the good times, but I didn't understand it at that time. ”

"One day, a mob broke into our home, they burned down our house, they wanted to put us to death, they attacked with great vigour, but in the end they were crushed by my father and two brothers. ”

"Although I also contributed at that time, it was still a little too small compared to my brothers. After that, my father rewarded the three of us, and naturally my two older brothers received the most rewards, and me? ”

He suddenly turned his head and smiled at everyone: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to be jealous of my brothers, on the contrary, I look at the two of them and think they are so handsome, it's so cool, I dream that one day I can be like them, they are my idols." ”

Garrot paused, as if reliving the best time in his mind, which was evident from his expression.

"What happened after that?" Ye Xiang, who had been silent, asked, "Then something must have happened after that, otherwise how would you have come here?"

"You're very smart, Vice Captain Ye Xiang. Garrot praised. "Of course something happened after that, something I'm going to talk about right away. His voice gradually began to grow sad, as if he had reopened his old scars.

"It was one day that one of the older brothers I admired, my second brother, attacked my father like crazy, and I have never seen such a crazy face of my brother, and I will never forget it in my life. ”

"The second brother's operation failed, and he was subdued by his father, eldest brother and me. I never thought I'd be my brother's enemy, but this ridiculous thing happened to me. ”

"I can still remember that day when my second brother roared and denounced the heavy responsibility my father had placed on him, and he cursed with all the vicious words that could be used in this world, and with his curses everything I had believed in was gone. ”

"What duty, what duty, what justice, these are stupid things! Even the most righteous people fall, and darkness grows in the hearts of men, and eventually swallows everything! So from that day on I decided to give it all up, and I left that home and came here alone. ”

"Are you?" Ye Xiang already had a faint idea of his true identity in his heart, but this thought made him feel extremely shocked.

"Maybe I am. Garrot smiled. "My world wanders and wanders, but the more I look, the more convinced I become: the desires of the human heart will turn into darkness, and that darkness will destroy everything, and there is no way to eradicate this completely. ”

"I came to this city 10 years ago, and although it is not as bustling as the city I used to live in, I feel really at ease here. Although I had no money and had to sleep in the sewers at first, I still didn't want to leave. Because in this place, my mind is able to calm down and no longer be bothered by those troubles. ”

"Since you don't plan to continue to contact the outside world, why did you give us this positioning device?" Ye Xiang asked.

"Maybe it's just a whim. Garrot sighed softly, "I really don't have any intention of making contact with the outside world, but after I received the news of the death of another brother, my mind changed a little." ”

For the first time, Ye Xiang felt that the man in front of him was so worthy of sympathy, and now that he had clarified Garlot's true identity, he could even call out his name on the spot.

Garrot smiled wryly: "My eldest brother has always cared about me and my second brother the most, and I believe that he still loves us until now." But how ridiculous fate is, he was actually killed by his own brother, it is simply a ridiculous thing. ”

"So are you here for revenge?" Ye Xiang asked, "Is it because of your brother's death that you have kindled the fire of revenge, so you decided to help us?"

"Part of it. "But the main thing is that I want to meet my other brother, and there are things that I have to do with him in person, and that's what I really want to do." ”

Pointing to the stairs, Garrot said, "This is the last part of the way, and after going up the stairs, you can walk up to the exit by a maximum of 100 meters, and then my task will be completed." ”

He was the first to step up the stairs, the others following closely behind him, the sound of footsteps infinitely amplified in the silence and darkness of the space, creating a feeling as if they would wake up an unknown creature sleeping in the darkness at any moment.

"Won't you come with us when we go out?" Ye Xiang asked.

"No, I'm not going to act with you. Garrot didn't hesitate to say what he thought.

"Why? Our purpose is the same, not to mention that you are the one who has a very strong power, you should join us, we need your strength. ”

"It's impossible. Garrot shook his head, "I never said I would help you fight hell, the only person I want to see is my brother, so my purpose and you are not exactly the same, so naturally it is impossible to join you." ”

"But-" Ye Xiang still tried his best to let Garrot join them, after all, with this man's identity and strength, he could completely turn the tide of the battle.

"Needless to say, Vice Captain Ye Xiang. Garrot interrupted what he was about to say, "For me, duty, justice and obligation are nothing, and I just want to act according to my own ideas now, and no one can change that." ”

Is this the reality? Ye Xiang smiled bitterly in his heart, sure enough, human beings can only rely on the strength of human beings themselves to win this war, and it is simply a fool's dream to use other external forces, even the most dazzling light has been swallowed up by the darkness, this is the cruel reality!

"I see, I respect your ideas. Ye Xiang said calmly, "Although you won't join us, I still want to thank you for your act of helping us." ”

"I've said it several times, and every time you thank me, my head hurts. Garrot laughed. They had climbed to the end of the staircase, and a faint light flickered at the end of the passage in the distance.

"Vice-captain, looks like we're coming. Raven wiped the sweat from his head and said, "It's not easy, but I've finally arrived at my destination." ”

"Don't let your guard down. Ye Xiang reminded, "Beelzebub is still in the city, and his swarm of flies is probably searching for us everywhere." In other words, as soon as we get out of the sewers, we immediately become his live targets. ”

"Come on, I'd like to meet that bastard a little longer, and as long as I'm alive, I'm going to fight that guy to the end!" Nicholas snapped.

"Okay then, let's go. Ye Xiang walked past Garrot to the front of the group, and walked towards the exit with the light that was gradually becoming brighter.
