Chapter 61: Deliverance

After Liu Fufeng and Yang Wanli left, the blue flames in the sky that were as dense as stars also dispersed, and only a few were still above our heads. It was like a cloud of ghost fire, which could only shine within a radius of two or three meters, and outside of this range, it was pitch black.

Just as I was talking to Tang Jiang about the robots that Mr. Kobayashi had made, and I didn't know how he got them, Mr. Kobayashi, who was sitting there against the crystal coffin, spoke.

"Actually, it's just a simple machine welded up, and it's still soul-possessed inside." Mr. Kobayashi explained.

I looked back at Mr. Kobayashi, and saw that his face was pale, and his lips were not bloody.

However, at the corners of his mouth, there was a shallow smile.

Looking at him, he was not at all distressed by his failure, but seemed to be very relaxed, as if the burden of many years had finally been relieved.

"Aren't you dead yet?" I asked.

"Almost." Mr. Kobayashi said with a smile, "After so many years, I can finally really die, and I feel so relaxed." ”

I stared at Mr. Kobayashi for a long time and said, "You look really relaxed. It's like a person who has been suffering from cancer for many years, and finally when it comes time to die, he will return to his light. ”

Mr. Kobayashi smiled bitterly and said, "Although your analogy is not very good, it is quite appropriate. But I prefer to use another analogy, as if I owe a lot of money. All my life, I was overwhelmed by this debt, I couldn't sleep, I didn't know how to eat, and I was thinking about how to make money to pay off my debts all the time. Although my debts have not been paid off in full, I have paid back my own life, so I am worthy of the creditor, right? ”

I looked at Mr. Kobayashi and said, "Emperor Jianwen is your creditor?" ”

"It's not." Mr. Kobayashi sighed, looked back at Emperor Jianwen in the crystal coffin, reached out and gently stroked the crystal coffin, and said, "Speaking of which, my creditor is not the emperor. I never asked the emperor about his wishes, and he never said that he wanted to restore the so-called Ming orthodoxy. It was I, it was I who put such a shackle on myself, it was I who imposed this mission on myself. Sometimes I wonder if it's right to do it, isn't it worth it? But when I think about it, I feel like I'm shirking my responsibility. ”

I said, "So when you thought you were going to defeat me, you felt very disappointed, as if you were very sad." ”

Mr. Kobayashi said: "Yes, at that moment, I really felt sorry for myself, I didn't know that it would take hundreds of years for Emperor Xudu to find someone like you to stop me, and the world didn't know that I would be so young." ”

I didn't know what to say for a while.

Mr. Kobayashi continued: "Actually, that day in the paddy field outside Yuanbao Village, I thought that I could simply lose to you, then I could be liberated directly. That time, if you really dare to draw a card, really turn the card over, and really win me, then I can put it down with peace of mind. It's a pity ......"

I smiled wryly and said, "In that case, if you force me like that, can I turn over that card?" ”

Mr. Kobayashi also smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I also know that you don't dare, so I have no choice but to have a big showdown with you." Thankfully, you didn't disappoint me. Really, I should be grateful to you, thank you. ”

I smiled and said, "You're relieved, I'm going to keep going, I don't know how many demons and monsters are secretly watching me." ”

Mr. Kobayashi smiled lightly: "That's your business." Fortunately, you still have friends, and these brothers who support you, and you won't be able to support you for hundreds of years like me. And...... You know that what you are doing is right and that you stand for justice. And me? I knew I was doing something wrong and that I was going to bring havoc on the whole world. But I can't stop ...... myself."

I looked at Mr. Kobayashi and suddenly understood the pain in his heart.

Even Tang Jiang next to him couldn't help but sigh and said: "It is difficult to die for thousands of years, and sometimes it is really a happiness to die happily." ”

Mr. Kobayashi said: "I am relieved now, and those aftermaths can only trouble you." ”

I couldn't help but cover my face and groaned, feeling so tired.

Mr. Kobayashi continued: "First, it is the emperor's physical body. I hope you will bury him in the cemetery of Yuanbao Village, with those loyal guards. ”

I originally wanted to bury Emperor Jianwen on the spot, but since Mr. Kobayashi said so, how could I refuse the entrustment of a dying man? I had to say: "This is no problem, I promise to do it properly for you." ”

Actually, it's quite a hassle. The Yuanbao Village is not only far away, but also partial, the car to the town takes almost a day and a night, and it takes three or four hours to walk from the town to the Yuanbao Village, which is still empty-handed.

Mr. Kobayashi continued: "Second, it is the soul of the emperor. I have wishfully detained him in the human world for so many years, and in fact he is also a victim, and he did not deliberately escape from the pursuit of the underworld. So, I hope ...... I hope that the prefecture can handle it at its discretion, so that he can be reincarnated normally and become a new person. ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "I can't be the master of this, I must decide to Emperor Xudu." But I can tell Emperor Xudu for you, I think he is also a reasonable person, and there should be no problem. ”

Mr. Kobayashi said, "Thank you, I was just about to tell you this. And the third thing, the gold, silver, and jewels that you brought out of the cave, even if I gave them to you, are my thanks to you. ”

I smiled and didn't speak. Those things are in my hands now, and even if Mr. Kobayashi doesn't say so, can I still give them back? I can't estimate the value of those guys, maybe they can be worth one or two Haotian Group's assets. You know, that is the wealth that Mr. Kobayashi has accumulated over hundreds of years in order to restore the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.

It stands to reason that this treasure seems to be handed over, and I used to think so. But on second thought, it's easy for me to hand it over, but how can I explain it to others? Could it be that I told people that this is a person named Mr. Kobayashi, who has accumulated family wealth for hundreds of years in order to resurrect Emperor Jianwen, whom he is loyal to? In that case, maybe they'll put me in an insane asylum like a madman.

Mr. Kobayashi continued, "Also, I got a company called the Sun Moon Group. I've got all the paperwork ready and transferred everything the company to your name. Although this Sun Moon Group is not as large as your Haotian Group, I have also spent a lot of effort, and I hope you can continue to operate it. This is the fourth thing. Also, my current name is Lin Xiaodong, and I have also transferred the assets in my name to your name. ”

I really don't have anything more to say.

It turns out that when this guy came to fight me, he had already arranged his own affairs. It can be said that he took the initiative to send him to death this time. If he couldn't die, he would have been disappointed to the point of despair.

Mr. Kobayashi thought about it carefully and said, "That's probably it." I may not have thought of the rest, but you just watched it. With that said, I can leave with peace of mind. ”

With a smile on his face, Mr. Kobayashi slowly closed his eyes, and his voice began to become weak.

I suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "By the way, there is one more thing to ask you!" ”

Mr. Kobayashi opened his eyes again and said, "Say it, I must know everything." ”

I said, "You once said that when Emperor Jianwen died, you almost committed suicide, but someone guided you on the path of resurrecting Emperor Jianwen. I wonder, who the hell is this person? Also, when I came back from Yuanbao Village, I saw the giant face of the sky outside the town, I asked you, but you didn't tell me at the time, you can tell me now, right? Also, the mysterious masked man with a strange scent, you should know some information about him. ”

I asked all the questions in my mind in one go.

Mr. Kobayashi said: "I have good words to advise, there are some things, you still don't have to know too much, this is better for you." If you want to know...... In the office of the chairman of the Sun Moon Group, the wall behind the bookshelf, eight feet from the bottom left corner to the right and four feet up, there is one of my notebooks hidden in it, you can look at it. ”
