Eschatological.

A philosopher once said that the closest place to heaven is hell.

Gu Fan deeply understood the meaning of this sentence, and only after enduring the cold wind did he know the value of warmth, and he would long for that ray of light when he stood in the deepest part of the darkness in the blood mud.

Previous life.

Gu Fan is used to seeing people's hearts sinister, and his ugly face makes people vomit.

But in that dark and cold winter night, there was also a trace of softness, and former companions supported each other, could give their backs to each other's trust, and reached out on the verge of collapse countless times.

At the end of the story, there is no happy ending.

The last part of the training of the Dark Dragon Force is to kill the companions who depend on each other, so that the hearts of the warriors become as hard as ice.

That night, it happened to be snowing heavily.

Gu Fan and Silver Star fought in the snowy night, the sound of weapons clashing, and the companions who accompanied each other day and night were all too familiar with each other's attack methods.

They didn't want to kill each other, but they knew very well in their hearts that only one of them would survive.

"Do your best!!"

"If the two of us can only live one, then the strongest one who survives can go further in this last days."

Yinxing said so, but she already had the answer in her heart, in terms of natural ability and potential, the strongest was Gu Fan...... It's just that saying this will lighten the burden on his heart, and the deep guilt.

Blood splattered.

In the blood, the warm plasma of Silver Star was sprinkled all over the snow.

Gu Fan's dagger stabbed Silver Star in the chest, just as she expected, in a state of full strength, Gu Fan's strength was even better.

"Don't regret it."

"The Last Days...... It's ...... The strong are respected ......"

"Live...... Don't let me ...... White Death...... Your life...... Have me a ......"

Silver Star's words became weaker and weaker, and the blood and the palm on Gu Fan's cheek became cold at the same time.

She died in Gu Fan's arms.

Finally, Silver Star looked at the starry sky on a snowy night, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes: "I still want to ...... At last...... At first glance...... Stars ......"

Those were Silverstar's last words.

It's over.

The special training of the Dark Dragon Force is over.

Gu Fan buried Silver Star and became an even more powerful warrior, his heart was as cold as ice and steel, and his willpower was stronger by more than one point again.

Stronger, stronger, stronger.

Gu Fan's shoulders became heavier and heavier, and he took the life of Silver Star and the lives of many other partners, and walked farther and farther step by step, finally breaking away from the Dark Dragon Army and becoming a powerful party.

It's just that it has become difficult for him to trust others anymore, let alone give his back to others.

That's the story of Gu Fan and Silver Star.

……

……

"Huh?"

"Slash you??"

Yinxing couldn't understand Gu Fan's brain circuit at all, but was very puzzled by his previous words: "You said, you killed someone you didn't want to kill, are you also a member of the Dark Dragon Army??" ”

Gu Fan smiled and did not answer.

I am afraid that no one will believe the events of the previous life.

"Hmm."

"Slash me."

Gu Fan stretched out his hand, and a winter blade that exuded a cold aura appeared in his hand.

The sword light was blue and dim, and the moonlight and starlight reflected a faint chill, apparently created using a powerful ability.

"I rarely feel guilty."

"Your stab may ease that burden for me."

Gu Fan handed the knife to Yinxing, and with a palm of his hand, he tore off the clothes on his upper body, revealing his solid bronze muscles. At the same time, the palm of the hand pressed heavily on the chest...... Crack your muscles and bones.

He had to destroy his body first, otherwise even a god-gold level Winter Blade would not be able to pierce the perfect body.

"Don't you think I'm ...... Similar to the guy who didn't want to kill? ”

Yinxing took the knife, hesitated for a moment and said, "My knife, can you feel better." ”

Resemble.

Certainly very similar.

Because it's the same person.

Gu Fan smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are quite similar." ”

When.

Silverstar tossed the Winterblade to the ground and gave up stabbing it.

"You don't want to be a replacement?"

Gu Fan picked up the Winter Blade, some could understand Silver Star's mood, and sometimes a person was treated as a substitute, which seemed a little too pathetic, and he was simply anesthetizing himself with lies.

Silverstar shook his head, "I don't care about being a substitute, I just think I can understand the feeling of the person you killed." ”

Well?

Gu Fan frowned slightly: "What do you say?" ”

"You don't want to kill her."

"She doesn't want to kill you either."

"The final winner must be very painful, right?"

Silver Star turned his head, his eyes lit up, as if he could understand the feeling, and continued, "I don't know why, this feeling is familiar to me and very kind. ”

"If I were the one you killed, I would never blame you."

"If two people can only survive one, they must choose the strongest one."

"He will take the hope of two people, the responsibility of two people, the lives of two people, and the weight of two people, step by step."

Yinxing's words made Gu Fan's brows gradually stretch.

She looked up at the starry sky, thought for a moment, and continued: "If I slash you, maybe the burden and guilt in your heart will be lighter, but the person you killed ...... She's going to weigh a little lighter, right? ”

"I think she must want you to take that weight with you, become stronger, and rush to farther places."

Yinxing's words made Gu Fan stunned.

Is that so?

When she died, she didn't blame me.

She chooses the strongest one to survive, carry the life and weight of two people, and become stronger.

That guilt, that regret, is not a punishment, but like the added weight during exercise, although it makes your training more painful, it really pushes you forward and becomes another motivation.

"I see."

"Hearing you say that, I feel a lot more relieved, and the weight is more steady, maybe it will always be on my shoulders, pushing me forward."

Gu Fan said sincerely, and at the same time looked up at the endless galaxy, as if he wanted to see through it and look at that distant other time and space.

Silver Star in the previous life, she must have thought so too.

"Let's go back."

Gu Fan's heart knot was untied, and he smiled softly at Yinxing: "Our subordinates, it's time to wait." ”

The top of the snowy mountains,.

An indistinguishable figure stepped on the snow without a trace, spanning a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant, making people feel that the naked eye was a little spent.

Gu Fan took Silver Star's hand, and in less than a few minutes, he left the peak of the mountain and returned to the tavern with the warm fire swaying in the gathering place.

Jingle bells.

The tavern door opened, and the wind and snow poured in, and Gu Fan and Silver Star stood side by side.

The eyes of everyone in the entire tavern were fixed on the two of them.

Astound.

Doubt.

Curious.

Or maybe it's a little ambiguous.
