Volume 5, The Three Realms of Stars and Moon_Chapter 162, True Death and Fake Death
"Brother Shan, after so many years, do you miss home?"
"Why, why don't you want to?"
In the midst of the flames, I looked at Yot on the high platform in front of me, and then turned my head to look at Xiao Wei. Maybe it was because of the collision of fire in my body, and I suddenly had even crazier thoughts in the madness.
The ground around his body had long since turned into a sea of fire, and Xiao Wei pulled Suzanne to hide far away, but he was still paying close attention to the situation in the sea of fire. The flames grew stronger and stronger, and soon even Yot could not see me standing in the flames.
"Ahh Screams were heard suddenly, followed by a terrible explosion in the center of the square, followed by a series of flames that burst through the ground, and black smoke curled up the entire town square.
"Brother Shan!" Xiao Wei shouted in flames, his eyes searching the black smoke to find my trace, but the billowing heat wave and terrible black smoke from the explosion made it impossible for him to see what was happening in front of him.
"I can't stay here anymore, soon the whole town will explode, don't you see those townspeople fleeing?" Suzanne cried out anxiously, the fire did have a tendency to expand. The residents who had gathered in the town square had long since run out, and only Yot, me, Xiao Wei, and Suzanne remained.
"No, I want to find Brother Shan!" Xiao Wei shouted unwillingly.
"Such a terrible explosion, he can't survive, let's go, if you really want to be good for him, save your life and avenge him later. Come on! Suzanne grabbed Xiao Wei's arm and shouted vigorously.
Xiao Wei gritted his teeth and wanted to hold on for a while, but the despair in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Xiao Wei." Just as he turned to leave, he heard a voice suddenly appear in his ears, Xiao Wei followed the sound and saw that I was standing beside him, walking through the black smoke, looking a little embarrassed and obviously injured, with obvious blood stains on my face.
"Brother Shan!" Xiao Wei shouted in surprise, "Great, you're okay, great!" Let's go quickly, now we are probably not his opponent, and we will not worry about running out of firewood. ”
He took me by the hand and tried to take me away, and Suzanne nodded. But he didn't pull me, and looked back at me suspiciously, seeing that I didn't mean to leave, so he asked strangely, "Brother Shan, what's wrong?" ”
I shook my head and said calmly, "I'm not leaving." ”
"Boom!" Just as I said this, a huge explosion exploded not far from us.
"Brother Shan, what did you say?" Xiao Wei looked at me with wide eyes.
The wind from the explosion blew across our faces, and everyone's faces were red from the heat of the flames, and with dust and sweat, they looked messy and dirty.
"Do you remember the plan I discussed with Jun Yan to fake my death?" I said.
"Remember, it's not ......" He reacted before he could finish speaking, as if he understood something, and stared at me.
I smiled and said, "I think it's a good opportunity." Ba Xiaoshan, a thug from China, was buried in the United States, and his bones were lost in the explosion and fire, and since then I have disappeared from people's eyes. ”
"You want to implement a plan to fake your death here? Have you discussed it with Brother Jun? Did Brother Jun agree? Although my plan sounded pretty good, Xiao Wei still asked one after another very uneasily.
"No, it's too late to contact the military."
"No, that's definitely not going to work. Brother Jun asked me to help you in the United States, what is the matter with you implementing the plan to fake your death for no reason? Besides, you may not be able to get out of the way against a guy as powerful as Yot, and there are a lot of unscrupulous aspects of this plan. I disagree, and I won't agree unless there's a 100% chance of success. Xiao Wei shook his head vigorously, but I grabbed the neck, I leaned in and said, "Xiao Wei, what I decided can't even be changed by the military, and neither can you." I decided to implement the plan of suspended animation today. You just need to spread the news of my death and let Jun Yan and the entire Chinese supernatural circle know. ”
Perhaps frightened by the intimidating power emanating from me, he looked at me in a daze, and just nodded before I let go. patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bluff you." ”
With that, I lowered my head and fumbled for cigarettes on my tattered clothes. Not to mention that Xiao Wei is a smart person, although he was bluffed by me for a while, he quickly reacted, his eyes widened and looked at me and said, "Brother Shan, you don't really want to die here, do you?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the movements of my hands also stopped, and only Suzanne looked at me with a confused expression.
"Brother Shan, you answer me, do you have the idea that if you can't win today, you will die at the hands of Yot? If you win today, you will fake your death, and if you can't win, you will simply die here, and you will be a hundred, isn't it? Seeing that I didn't answer, the more Xiao Wei thought about it, the more he felt that his guess might be right, and immediately asked.
I smiled and said, "You let Suzanne go first, the fire will burn right away, and she has nothing to do with it." ”
Xiao Wei nodded, and turned back to urge Suzanne to leave. After the female detective left, there were only two of us left in the burning fire, and I finally took out half a cigarette from my body, lit the flame and took a puff, looked at Xiao Wei and said, "You're right, that's what I thought." ”
Xiao Wei, who guessed what I thought, was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Brother Shan, what are you trying to do?" Why should a good person seek death? ”
I waved my hand and pressed his shoulder to stop him from continuing. After spitting out the smoke ring in his mouth, he whispered, "You are not me, you will not understand." I've been on this road for too long, I debuted at the age of twenty, and I've been on this road for almost twenty years, and I can't fulfill my filial piety, get married and have children, and I can't even like someone normally. I've always been in a cycle of killing and being killed, and I've had the opportunity to get out of it more than once, but I've failed for a variety of reasons. This may be my last chance, and if I do die, won't I be out of the woods? ”
"Brother Shan, that's not what I said, we have to look forward. Brother Shan...... "The more Xiao Wei spoke, the more anxious he became, and he didn't know if he was smoky by the black smoke, and there were tears flashing in his eyes.
"Okay, okay, you big man, don't cry your nose at every turn, I, who don't know if I'm going to die, don't cry, why are you crying. Listen to me, whether I am really dead or fake dead today, I will leave as soon as I start fighting, and I must not stay to take a second look. Because when you tell the world about my death, there will be people who will come to you for trouble, and they will remember it from your mind in all sorts of ways, and if there is an impression in your memory that I am not dead, then they will know about it. So you can't tell, including yourself, whether I'm really dead or fake. Second, you have to dissuade my group of friends when they return home, and if I can't go back, they must give up the idea of revenge. Because without me, they would not have succeeded in revenge. Third, when I die, you must not tell my parents about it immediately when you return to China. You can't say it until my parents are mentally prepared. Fourth, you can take my wooden box away for me, and you must not open it, so I personally hand it over to Jun Yan for Jun Yan to keep it properly, and tell him that it contains my most important inheritance. Speaking of which, I don't have much to repay you. I'll give you this thing......"
As I spoke, I pulled a bone dagger out of my bosom.
"More than 10 years ago, when I first debuted, my friends and I were very poor, and at that time, I used almost all the daggers I bought with my savings to ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons. I don't need it now, but I put it on my body and keep it in mind. But after giving it to you, maybe you can still use it. ”
Xiao Wei took the bone dagger and the wooden box from my hand, and wanted to say something after carrying the wooden box on his back, but I pinched his shoulder and said, "Remember not to open the wooden box, otherwise you will be killed." If I hadn't died this time, I'd have you drink in the future, haha......"
After saying that, I laughed, but Xiao Wei, who was surrounded by flames, looked at me with tears in his eyes, he knew that he couldn't persuade me, and he also knew that I was going to die for a lifetime.
"Brother Shan, take care!" Xiao Wei said solemnly with his fists clenched, then gritted his teeth and turned his head, rushing through the flames and running away.
