The boy, codenamed "Lan", seems to be destined to be a lonely person from the moment he was born.

He had never seen his loved ones before, nor had he ever known what it was like to be emotional. The only thing he knew was that in his natural blood, there was cold and lonely blood flowing in his natural blood, and the power that was ready to move at that time———— which was an indelible mark.

Because he never communicates with others, and he also has the terrifying power contained in his body that is beyond ordinary people and makes others fearful, Lan has become an "outlier" in the eyes of others, even if he is of the same race, he is also rejected.

Among the memories of his childhood, the only thing that Lan can remember is that in the midst of the spreading war, in order to protect his companions and villagers, Lan awakened the power of the demon path in his body and killed all the vicious enemies.

However, instead of bringing respect and cheer to Lan for the power he awakened to protect others, the villagers became more and more afraid of the power in Lan's body, calling it the "Power of Calamity", and believing that Lan was the one who brought bad omen to the village.

Lan will still choose to use his own strength to protect those who are worthy of protection, hazy and lonely hearts, there is still a ray of light, but his "monster" name has long been passed on among the villagers, even if Lan protects them, they still treat him with horror, avoid him, and constantly isolate and alienate him.

In the end, Lan was exiled to a desolation by the villagers, and he himself did not complain, but chose to accept it silently.

Perhaps, he is a monster, a lonely monster, no one is worth guarding anymore, and he will never be treated with kindness.

Homeless, with no one to rely on, even his own heart gradually disappeared in self-doubt and fell into darkness.

When this belief was discovered by the heroic Cao Cao in the purgatory of death, Lan became one of the many killers that Cao Cao cultivated for the sake of survival.

In order to survive, Lan had to kill the other orphans who had been adopted by Cao Cao and became the sole survivor. After this, Lan was reused by Cao Cao, and under the teaching of Xiahoudun, he learned the knife technique of "Hundred People Slashing", as well as his own original set of assassination skills.

The self-proclaimed "Shark Hunting Blade" travels in solitude and hunts in the dark. Lan is able to use his demonic power to transform into a bloody shark to hunt the prey that has been chosen as a target.

No matter for anyone, there is no sympathy in the cold eyes and heart, is this a revenge for the cold eyes that have been suffered?

Perhaps, Lan has no meaning in his eyes, and in his opinion, taking the lives of those prey is as unworthy of sympathy as pinching the dead ants.

Since you're a monster, let's carry out the monster's creed to death, anyway...... I will finally die one day.

However, even beneath the cold and neat exterior, and behind the sharp and bloody blade, there is a lonely heart that seals itself in darkness.

No one could get close to Lan, and he didn't want to get close to anyone.

No amount of blood and soul can fill the emptiness in his heart, it will only make Lan Yuan fall into the abyss of hell, just go further.

However, just when Lan thinks that he will eventually face death and despair alone in loneliness and darkness, a sudden mission completely changes the trajectory of his life.

The mission to pursue the jade seal is aimed at a little girl named Cai Wenji.

At the beginning, the mission went very smoothly, but after all, there was an unexpected error———— Lan was not only injured, but also ended up on an isolated island with his target Cai Wenji.

By the time he sank into the sea, Lan had almost lost consciousness.

In the darkness, he saw the spirits of the dead that he had killed in the past, constantly haunting him———— the distance between sin and death, only one step away, Lan watched himself fall into the endless hell, losing the last bit of consciousness......

There was a pain from the wound, and Lan slowly woke up from the darkness, he had thought he would sink in the endless sea, but now he was lying on a sandy beach.

Silently opened his eyes, but found a small figure, bandaging his wounds.

Cai Wenji didn't notice that Lan had woken up, let alone that Lan was staring at her coldly with that hunting gaze, she just hummed a brisk little song, like a porcelain doll-like face, carefree, like a calm lake, and couldn't feel any waves that would happen.

The wound was quickly bandaged, and Cai Wenji put her weak ten fingers on the gauze again, only to see that there was a green fluorescence surging between the palms of her hands, and Lan felt a warm power flowing into the wound, and in an instant, there was no longer any pain.

Cai Wenji, on the other hand, turned a little pale, and after the green fluorescence dissipated, she fell down in a drowsy state.

"Why ......"

Lan got up suddenly, and at the same time pulled out the dagger at his waist, and the sharp blade was aimed at Cai Wenji's head, as if it would be ruthlessly stabbed at any moment.

Cai Wenji is her own goal, as long as she snatches the jade seal from her body, then she has no meaning.

But, for the first time, he hesitated.

For some reason, there was always a subconscious in my heart, firmly grasping Lan's hand and not letting the dagger in his hand fall.

Perhaps, it was because she saved herself?

Or is it ......

In short, Lan silently withdrew the dagger and came to the endless ocean, the fluctuation in his heart was no less than the surging tide.

Maybe one day, I will regret this hesitation.

In order to escape from this isolated island, Lan constantly searched the island for available materials, and he planned to build a sailboat himself.

This skill, once in childhood, was already self-taught, so the implementation was extraordinarily smooth.

However, in a person's actions, there is another petite figure.

At first, Cai Wenji just hid behind rocks or trees, secretly observing Lan, and kept a certain distance from him.

Because Lan's body exuded a cold from his bones, which made Cai Wenji feel a little scared.

Lan was naturally clear about Cai Wenji's gaze, but he didn't say a word, nor did he pay attention to her, he just silently built a sailboat.

Night fell quickly, and the evening breeze was a little cold and a little eerie.

Lan was accustomed to the darkness and solitude of the night, so he set up a campfire by himself and easily caught fish from the sea for food tonight.

The fish was placed on top of the campfire, and the warm flame quickly roasted a mouth-watering aroma. Lan sensed the heat of his gaze and looked back silently, and with the brightness of the bonfire, he saw the small body that had hurriedly buried its head behind the stone.

“......”

Lan was silent as he looked at his stomach.

Although it felt like an empty stomach, it didn't get to the point where I was about to starve to death.

Once during Cao Cao's training, Lan had tasted the feeling of being half starved to death, which was far more unbearable than now.

That little one...... I guess I'm hungry, right?

Lan picked up the grilled fish from the campfire, and he had long since become indifferent to the smell of the food, and he would not whet his appetite.

“......”

Still without saying a word, Lan picked the cleanest stone, placed the fish on it, and then silently waited for the petite figure to appear.

"I ...... Can I eat it? ”

Cai Wenji poked out her little head from behind the stone tremblingly, and her soft and delicate little face made people feel like they wanted to pinch it.

She was already hungry, her stomach was growling, and she was attracted all the attention by Lan's grilled fish.

Ignorant and innocent, the big eyes looked at Lan pitifully, waiting for his permission.

"Hmm."

This is the first sentence that Lan said to Cai Wenji, although it is only a short word, but it is a turning point.

Cai Wenji's eyes were filled with a special light.

This kind of light is something Lan has never seen before.

However, as soon as I saw it, I felt something different in my heart. This feeling is the first time I have experienced this feeling after more than ten years of loneliness and coldness.

Cai Wenji is more innocent and lively than Lan imagined.

She didn't seem to be aware of Lan's identity, and it was only after the first such brief exchange that she began to approach him.

Although Lan often chooses to ignore Cai Wenji and only concentrate on completing the things in his hands, Cai Wenji has become his follower, and wherever he goes, Cai Wenji will follow him.

When Lan collects materials, Cai Wenji will also follow to collect them, but with her extremely petite stature, she can't move anything except pick up some useless branches and stones. However, Lan didn't throw away the things Cai Wenji picked up, but just silently piled them aside.

On a rainy day, Cai Wenji would find a big lotus leaf and stay by Lan's side, sheltering him from the rain and quietly watching his every move.

The original fears and worries in Cai Wenji's heart were completely eliminated as she got along with Lan. Lan became Cai Wenji's friend, although it was only one-sided, but Lan did not deny it.

"My name is Cai Wenji, what's your name?"

"Lan ......"

"Can you sing?"

“......”

"Do you know how to weave garlands?"

“......”

"Why don't you always speak, just one person is talking, it's so boring, woo woo......"

“......”

While building a sailboat, he had to endure all kinds of strange and girlish problems of Cai Wenji, but Lan unexpectedly did not feel any discomfort and irritability.

On the contrary, the boredom and boredom of building a sailboat are also filled with a burst of joy in the company of Cai Wenji.

Although he is still not very used to communicating with others, Lan does not reject this feeling, and he enjoys the atmosphere.

People who are accustomed to the darkness will always pay special attention to the sudden light around them; It's like a heart that has been sealed for a long time and numb, and for that sudden warmth, it will always open up unexpectedly and get redemption......

Cai Wenji is carefree, in addition to sticking to Lan's side every day, occasionally singing with a cute and beautiful voice, she also likes to collect those colorful little flowers.

"This flower is for Lan's friend, this flower is Wen Ji's, wow, it's a good match!"

Inserting the little flower in Lan's somewhat messy hair, Cai Wenji giggled, and in her smile, it was the innocence and innocence that made Lan feel warm.

For Cai Wenji's token, Lan silently accepted, although his face did not show any special look because of this, but there was a warmth in his heart, melting the cold ice.

Do you have any friends?

Friendship...... What a beautiful word.

I don't know when, the killer who should have been ruthless can also raise a faint smile from time to time, although the smile is a little hideous, but people can still see the tenderness behind the hideousness.

Lan was even a little reluctant in his heart, he didn't want to be separated from Cai Wenji.

However, unexpected days will always strike suddenly when you are most caught off guard.

Cao Cao and his subordinate Sima Yi somehow learned of the location of Lan and Cai Wenji, and when Lan found out, they had landed ashore, and the blade symbolizing death and blood was chasing Cai Wenji who had fled.

"Khooth!"

When facing Cao Cao, Sima Yi and others, Lan's determination had his own choice for the first time.

The door of the long-closed heart was opened, and it was a little girl named Cai Wenji, and there was an emotion called friendship.

Although I know that my hands are stained with blood and sin, and I am no longer qualified to pursue those beautiful things, I ...... Even if you have no future, you have to protect the future of another person.

This determination made Lan's demonic power more and more powerful, allowing him to rescue Cai Wenji from the hands of Cao Cao and others.

However, his chest was also pierced by Cao Cao's blade.

Is you finally facing death?

He has always taken the lives of others, and he never expected that he would be taken by others today.

But what's so terrible about death, it's just that it's colder.

But......

What about Cai Wenji?

Lying on her body, even if her pure clothes were stained with her own filthy blood, she still couldn't cry, begging her little girl not to die......

Can I no longer protect her?

"I don't want to lose her again, she's all I have in the afterglow of my life. Even if one day I will die because of my sins, I have nothing else to ask for, I only hope that that innocent little girl can get her own future. ”

Lan's voice trembled a little, and his originally indifferent eyes also had a hint of crystalline.

"Cao Cao has the power of the blood clan, and there are countless assassins under his command, and I alone will definitely not be an opponent......"

"So, can I ask you to help me fulfill my last wish? Even after this, my life will be yours. ”

Lan actually knelt on the ground, which made Lu Yu startled.

"Hey, the man has gold under his knees, how do you say kneel and kneel?"

After listening to Lan's recounting of the past, Lu Yu was a little surprised.

He actually has a relationship with Cai Wenji.

However, more touches are due to the unprecedented redemption of Lan because of Cai Wenji, and people in the darkness have found their own light.

Looking at Lan, who was kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, Lu Yu was a little entangled.

"Ding! Help Lan find Cai Wenji and reward the Shark Dagger*1! ”

When Lu Yu was entangled, the voice of the system sounded in his mind.
