Chapter Twenty-Six: The Afterglow of the Sunset
Like the whispers of the undead, the voice became less and less clear as consciousness gradually returned. It was as if I had a dream without logic, and when I woke up and looked back, I realized that the voice I heard before was not human language.
But I could understand it, and my brain recognized the language almost unconsciously.
"Brother Bai, are you okay?" Mikassius stood beside the bed, he hadn't aged at all, he still had the same face as before. But the black tuxedo was covered in mud and grease around the cuffs.
As he approached me, the smell of gasoline came to my nose, like entering a garage.
"Mikassius ......" I sat up and saw something flash through the doorway, what seemed to be a wolfdog, "just now?" β
He glanced back, stretched out his hand and shouted, "Tong Tong, come here." β
It's a boy with a round head! He held the door frame and looked at me warily, as if he was a little scared.
"Don't be afraid, come here." Mikassius beckoned to him, "It's Uncle White." β
This kid's hairstyle is like a watermelon Taro, he is wearing a black suit, his leather shoes are shiny, and he looks extremely upright, but the only awkward place is the bow on his neckline, which seems to imitate the appearance of a real butterfly, colorful, too fancy.
"This kid is ......" I stared blankly, only to see him walking in front of me and bowing politely to me.
"White-uncle-uncle-good!" It looks serious, just like the long sound that a kindergarten child pulls out when he says that the teacher is good before class.
"Tong Tong, didn't you say that you are not allowed to ...... after class" Tong Wanqing suddenly stopped at the door, "Brother Bai? You're awake......"
I looked at Tong Wanqing, her figure was fat and out of shape, completely different from when she was young.
"Tong Wanqing? Mikassius ...... You guys, don't you ......?"
"This is my child with my demon husband." Tong Wanqing walked over with a smile and put her hands on the child's shoulders, "Tell uncle, how old are you this year?" β
The boy took a deep breath and replied forcefully like a soldier: "Six years old!" β
I grabbed my hair with both hands and pulled it out.
Hurt...... This is not a dream.
"Tong Tong ......" I looked at him as if I was watching a miracle, and muttered to myself, "Tong Wanqing, and Mikassiu's child." β
"His name is Tong Tong, and his nickname is Tong Tong." Mikassius touched his head, "Alright, let's go back to my room for class." β
"Forget it, give him a holiday today." Tong Wanqing smiled happily, "Brother Bai has woken up, everyone must celebrate!" β
"I said how do you feel upstairs is very lively, it's really Brother Bai woke up!" Li Muzi ran to the door excitedly, turned around and shouted downstairs: "Ye Zi! Brother Bai woke up! Heat it all up! β
"Got it!" Ye Zi's shout came from downstairs, "How can he know how to instruct the old lady!" β
"Ye Zi! No swearing! Tong Wanqing shouted towards the door.
It feels like going back in time.
No......
It feels better than ever.
I looked at the child in front of me, and my nose suddenly became a little sour, "Tongtong, tell my uncle, how old are you?" β
The boy smirked helplessly, "Six." β
After saying that, he ran over and hugged Mikassiu's thigh, "Dad, does Uncle Bai have amnesia?" β
Mikassius squatted down, "What do you think?" β
The boy looked at me, shook his head, and said, "Uncle doesn't have amnesia, he's just so happy." β
"Good." Mikassius touched the boy's head, "Logical reasoning is far less important than your own feelings, understand?" β
"Hmm!" The boy nodded.
Mikassius seemed to see my doubts and explained to me, "Brother Bai, Tong Tong is born with a super sixth sense, and we often train him to use this ability, which helps him in terms of safety, and if he encounters a bad person, he can rely on his senses to identify it. β
"It's amazing...... I looked at the boy and the look was different in an instant, if I had this ability, I would never have kicked a fat man three times again.
The devil's child is really not ordinary.
"Dad, Uncle Bai seems to be going to eat me." The boy clung to Mikassius, "No...... It turned out to be envy. β
"That's right, Ye Zi! It's time to get that bottle out too! Tong Wanqing shouted downstairs.
"How many hands do I have?! Can't you just come down and help?! β
"I have to look at Tong Tong!"
"You say that every time you have to work! It's all for Mikassius to get used to you! Do you think you're still the eldest lady when you were young? β
"No way! In this life, someone is petted! Tong Wanqing was obviously joking with Ye Zi downstairs, but I clenched my fists with hatred. It's so annoying, how can you be so happy? Summoned demons, shouldn't they be at the cost of their souls?
"Dad, Uncle Bai is jealous of us."
"Not really!" I defended myself loudly that this child's abilities were terrible.
Mikassius began to educate again: "Tongtong, this is at home, you can't always show your ability when you go out, you know?" β
"Got it, Dad." Tong Tong seemed to be familiar with me, and actually ran over and hugged my legs, "Uncle Bai is a good person, he can be trusted." β
"I'm not a good person, my uncle is a big bad wolf! Wow~"I saw him cute, so I couldn't help but tease him.
He didn't react, just looked at me, blinked, and said very seriously, "Uncle, you are so naΓ―ve." β
This kid sometimes speaks in a way that is really hateful.
He was like a koala, not hugging me, but running to hug his father's thigh.
Suddenly pierced the heart.
I've also had a kid who is the character stats I output in the game world for a purpose. His name is Bai Yi, and in order not to make the Divine Domain suspicious, Su Yu has always called him Yue Hao.
He is particularly powerful, with the Volcanic Wolf King as a war pet, holding the artifact Gentian Battle Spear, handsome and chic, majestic.
Even when it comes to a decisive battle with the most terrifying creature in the gaming world, the undead dragon, he is not afraid.
But what was he doing when he was five or six years old?
I do not know......
The familiar afterglow of the sunset illuminated the whole room, like a jubilant wedding room.
"Eat!" Ye Zi downstairs shouted loudly.
There was chaos in my ears, and everyone in the room was calling me to eat, but I couldn't come back to my senses, as if I had forgotten something.
"Brother Bai, what's wrong with you?" Li Muzi helped me up, "Let's go downstairs to eat, it's a big meal today!" β
I was helped down the stairs unconsciously, and when I walked into the restaurant, everyone was already seated, knives and forks in hand, and the atmosphere was lively.
The eyes were focused, the broken chandelier overhead was gone, and the skeletons of animals and moldy rotten flesh on the table were nowhere to be seen. I don't know who straightened the oil painting on the wall...... For my own sake, they did their best to restore the restaurant to its former appearance.
There was a pot of snake soup on the table, and on the plate, there were a few boiled potatoes.
There was also a bottle of red wine, a couple of glasses.
That's it, it's a big meal.
The boy straightened the bow at his neckline and looked at me anxiously, swallowing uncontrollably, apparently choking on hunger.
"This bow is a gift from me to my nephew, isn't it pretty?" Ye Zi followed my line of sight.
"What's so good-looking, this is obviously your childhood butterfly hairpin, Tong Tong poked a hole in his clothes in order to bring it on." Tong Wanqing pierced her mercilessly.
"Mom, it's good-looking." Tong Tong gently touched the butterfly's wings with his fingers.
"It's still a child who has a vision." Ye Zi happily filled the wine glass in front of me.
I'm still in a bit of a daze, it seems to be a problem with the surrounding light, and I feel a little dizzy.
What exactly I forgot is absolutely important, but I was blinded for a while.
"Brother Bai, say a few words!" Ye Zi handed the glass of wine to me and said with a smile, "This wine has been stored in the warehouse for several years, and we have made an appointment to take out this wine and drink it when you wake up one day." β
"Warehouse!" I suddenly came to my senses and said, "Oh......"
"Brother Bai, we know that you can't drink, just this one glass, and we won't let you drink more." Ye Zi's hand holding the wine glass was a little sore, she changed her hand and raised it, but I never answered, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Take it, Brother Bai, everyone has been waiting for this moment for a long time, if you can't drink more, then take a sip." Mikassius tried to ease up, but I suddenly turned around and ran out of the gate.
"Brother Bai!" Li Muzi followed me and ran out.
"What do you mean?" Ye Zi angrily pressed the wine glass on the table, wanting to take out a cigarette and smoke, but remembered that he had burned all the inventory this morning.
She decided to quit smoking yesterday evening and now she regrets it. But there was no cigarette to smoke, so she was very uncomfortable, and took the glass of wine and drank it down.
"Dad, Uncle Bai is anxious now, and it seems that he has something very important." The boy looked at the pot of snake soup on the table and licked his lips.
"Something important?" Tong Wanqing looked at Tong Tong suspiciously, "How important?" β
I stopped at the gate and looked at the sun from afar.
"It's too late to go to the warehouse." I muttered, unconsciously quickening my pace, "It's going to be dark......
Li Muzi followed, "Brother Bai, don't go." I went to see it in the woods this morning, and I couldn't even find the body. β
"It's not a girl's thing! Muzi, I have something urgent to leave immediately, you can help me explain to everyone, please! With that, I suddenly took a step and ran as hard as I could.
"Brother Bai! What should I explain? When Li Muzi came back to his senses, I had already run a hundred meters away, and he chased a few steps when he heard Mikasiu calling him at the door.
"Don't go to Muzi! Brother Bai has something to do! β
"What do you have to do now? It's getting dark! No, I have to go and chase Brother Bai back! β
"Muzi!" Mikassiu frowned, "Tong Tong just said, that matter is more important than Brother Bai's life......"
