He couldn't remember how he got back, and he didn't know how long it had been.

He didn't know who he really was, and he didn't know what else he could do.

······

"The more I try to protect something, the more I can't protect it. ”

"Cherish her well, don't regret it when you miss it. ”

"I'm an outlaw, and it's dangerous for her to follow me. ”

"That year you didn't say goodbye, and she cried very sadly. ”

"A mercenary with blood on his hands, what kind of justice do you talk about?"

"You are my son. ”

"If you really want to protect him, stay away from her. ”

······

Eleven years have passed since the dissolution of the Jiyan Mercenary Group, and he and Yanyu have only been together for a few months. In the past eleven years, the words of many people have poured into his mind from nowhere and lingered.

What have I done? He held his head, tears streaming silently.

It's all wrong.

The bat's wings vibrate, and the huge demon beast almost fell into the small courtyard.

Yao Shen felt the breath outside the house, and his body moved reflexively, and then there was no more reaction.

It doesn't matter who he is.

"Min'er!" the figure appeared in the doorway, and the elongated shadow of the setting sun shone into the lifeless room.

Of course, no one will respond.

When he was at the door, he knew that something was wrong, walked a few steps quickly, came to the bed, and reached out to grab Yan Yu's hand.

"Stop!" Yao Shen said suddenly, his voice hoarse, "Don't disturb her." ”

Stunned for a moment, he suddenly turned to Yao Shen like crazy, grabbed his shoulder, and lifted him against the wall.

"Rubbish! Scourge Star!" Mori Mori's white eyes were bloodshot and his face was covered with dust.

"Get out!" Yao Shen's face could no longer make an expression, and he pushed his hand away.

The blue tendons on his forehead were exposed, grabbed Yao Shen's neck, and threw him out fiercely. In Yao Shen's current state, he was not an opponent at all, and his body hit the door frame and fell to the ground.

"Ahem, ahem······" Yao Shen got up, clutched his chest, and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He raised his head, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he did not hide the killing intent in his eyes at all.

He didn't care what Yao Shen thought, he turned around, closed his eyes and concentrated, and two wheels of life and death, one blue and one purple, appeared from behind him again. The purple wheel rotates counterclockwise, shrinking to the size of a palm, hidden behind the head. The green wheel rotates clockwise, rapidly expanding, hiding most of the room in it. Seeing this, Yao Shen was stunned, and some hope rose again in his desperate heart.

Qingguang was green, and she took Yanyu's left hand and pressed her fingers on her wrist. The meridians of Yanyu's forearm gradually turned blue, and then spread to the whole body.

"Can you save ······ Dead?" Yao Shen asked excitedly and worriedly.

"As long as you don't mess with me. He closed his eyes and said without looking back, "As long as the physical body remains intact and the soul is not scattered by people with secret techniques, I can give it a try within seven days of death." ”

"How sure are you?" Yao Shen rushed forward and looked at Yan Yu nervously.

“······” He was silent for a while, "Give me three days." ”

"After three days, if you still ······" Yao Shen hesitated, but still asked about the situation that neither of them dared to imagine.

"Shut up!" Eyes immediately interrupted him, "Listen, if she comes back to life, you fuck me off at once!

"If ······" Yao Bin smiled bitterly, "Then let's wait until the 'if' is realized." ”

"Get out!"

Yao Shen is a good person, he was repeatedly scolded, so he simply hid outside the house. In the courtyard, he was lying on the ground, his skin was wrinkled, his bat wings were stiff, and his left wing bone had cracked. He kicked the beast golem, turned to the side, fetched a bucket of well water, and fell over his head, restlessly waiting.

But this wait is five days.

During this period, Yao Shen once lost his mind and rushed in to quarrel with Xuan. According to Yin, he could feel Yan Yu's remaining soul and tried to inject life into Yan Yu's body to awaken her soul. However, there seemed to be a whirlpool in Yan Yu's body, and no matter how much qi he injected, he collected it all and then sank into the sea.

To put it simply, it is a completely illogical dead end with no way out.

The two also got into a fight, briefly exchanged seven or eight rounds, and began a hopeless wait again.

Inside the house, the green wheel was bigger than five days ago, floating on the body of Yan Yu. A faint burst of vitality from the center of the green wheel like a funnel, wrapped in the hot rain, like an emerald green silkworm cocoon. His face was tired, his hands were raised, and his eyes were weakly open, for fear that he would fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. At the tips of his fingers, the skin turned pale.

Outside the house, Yao Shen leaned against the beast puppet, his face bloodless, like a person made of grass ash, only his eyes blinking from time to time could prove that he was still alive. The severed little finger has been severed off, but the broken bones are still exposed, and a green-headed fly has fallen from the wound. Although the ring finger was broken, it was still hanging on the hand against the outer layer of skin, and the flesh and blood were already necrotic.

Falling into despair is like falling into a quagmire. The first time you fall into it, it's not too deep, and a little hope can be pulled out, but once the hope is broken, when you fall into it again, you sink deeper and deeper until you are overwhelmed by despair.

Yao Shen's mind went blank. He didn't have any hope anymore, he couldn't afford to play anymore.

The strange power that Yan Yu possessed in front of her, which was neither like Zhuang Ling nor like Zhuang Ling, did not save her life. It can even be said that it was that kind of power that killed Yan Yu.

Thinking about it, tears welled up in my eyes again.

Yao Shen raised his head and held back his tears. Only then did he realize that wisps of purple light were flying above his head. On this day, the blows made his senses dull a lot. He was stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did he sit up and look around suspiciously. I saw that a faint purple mist had risen in the air at some point, and the grass and trees outside the courtyard were dying at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then he looked at the fly that had landed on his little finger and waved his hand. However, the flies were not frightened. Yao Bin stretched out his left hand and grabbed the fly until he held it in his hand, and the fly did not move. It turned out that the fly had long since died, and it was only the physiology of the insect that allowed it to freeze in place after death.

This strange purple mist made Yao Shen can't help but recall the apocalyptic disaster in Shaoyang City a few months ago.

And the culprit of that disaster is in the hut behind him.

Thinking of this, Yao Shen's heart immediately sank. He mustered himself and stood up, his head a little dazed. Two clouds of thunder burst out in his eyes, and the thunder and lightning flowed along the meridians, burning the meridians with some swelling pain, but they cleared the toxins in the body.

"What are you doing!" Yao Shen pushed the door open.

He was still standing in the distance, the cyan green chakra was still spinning, and the faint vitality was still hopelessly sprinkled on Yan Yu. The only difference was that the purple death wheel, which was originally the size of a palm, was now so huge that it almost encompassed the entire room.

"What are you doing? Of course, it's to save people. He didn't turn around, his voice tired.

"Are you saving people or killing people? Do you still want to massacre the city? For what?"

"I said I was saving people. There was extreme paranoia and madness in his tone, "I know, I know, it must be a lack of vitality." Therefore, use the vitality in this broken stream. ”

"Are you crazy? There are still people living here!"

"People, as long as you can save Min'er, those people will die if they die. ”

"They're all friends of Yan Yu! If Yan Yu were alive, she wouldn't allow you to hurt them. ”

"Then wait until she's alive!" suddenly shouted, and then, back to that cold tone, "and, before you came in, those people were almost dead. ”

"You madman!" Yao Shen suddenly rushed forward, grabbed him by the collar behind his back, and pulled him in front of him to himself.

"You," Shen didn't resist, Sen Bai's eyes were fixed on Yao Shen, "Are you trying to stop me?"

"Listen, the farce is over. Yao Shen paused word by word, and said with all his strength, "Yan Yu, that is, your Min'er, she is dead, dead!

"Impossible!" pushed Yao Shen away, "Are you a doctor or am I a doctor! I said she was saved!

"That's what you said······! Three days, now five days. ”

“······ Get out!" he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted angrily.

"Accept it, you're just hurting innocent people right now. Stop, it's not too late. ”

"No, it's late. Or rather, the moment I made up my mind, it was already too late. She shook her head and suddenly laughed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "While the two of us were talking, the people in this stream were already dead. After all, it is a human being, and compared to other living beings, human bodies are still fragile. ”

Yao Shen froze in place, then gritted his teeth and slammed his left fist into Jin's face. He took his fist down with ease.

"Don't worry. Xiao continued to smile, raised his head slightly, and his expression became strange and reverent, "In order to save Yanyu, what I want is not the vitality of this isolated stream at all, but all the vitality within thousands of miles around the zero stream. If you can't do it for thousands of miles, it will be tens of thousands of miles, or the entire homeland of Jingchuan, or the barren state, the remnant state, the northern frontier, the Western Regions, Xiling, Liuze, or even the whole world! I'm not in a hurry, I can use ten, a hundred, or a thousand years to refine this world into a dead land! I won't stop until she lives! Or I die. ”

"You're crazy, you're really crazy. Do you know what you just said?" Yao Shen was completely shocked, so he killed his father, and there was another immortal monster that was even crazier than his father, but this monster in front of him that could not be measured by common sense really had this ability, "The world? That's hundreds of millions of lives! Not to mention anything else, do you know how many girls are like Yan Yu? They also have relatives, friends and lovers, and maybe there is a madman like you who cares about them. Yan Yu is dead, and you are crazy like this, so have you thought about their feelings?"

He was silent for a moment, lowered his head and muttered, "There are a lot of Yanyu······ There are a lot of ······ for me."

Then, he looked up again and said, "In that case, I welcome them to avenge their 'hot rain'. ”

"You!" Yao Shen almost vomited blood, "What about the vitality of the world? You know it's useless." ”

"Don't play this game for me. I only ask you, if refining the vitality of the world can really save her, will you still stop me?"

"It's useless. ”

"I just want you to answer!

Yao Shen's eyes dimmed, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Yes." ”

He nodded, waved his hand and shook Yao Bin's fist away: "Righteous face, it's disgusting." ”

"The logic of a madman is indeed difficult to understand. Yao Shen's eyes showed an angry expression, and the corners of his mouth pulled sarcastically.

"What does that have to do with you? Is there anything wrong with taking the lives of those who don't matter to save the people you care about? If only one person can live, why can't it be someone I love?"

"Human life cannot be exchanged, and no one has the right to sacrifice the lives of others!"

"Well, I'll ask you. If everyone in the whole day is going to die, and killing Min'er can save the whole world. You, my righteous friend, will you kill your Yanyu?"

Yao Shen was silent.

"Fuck your justice!" Seeing Yao Shen's silence, he knew his answer, "The law of the jungle is the real justice, if you want to stop me, then come and kill me!"

"You're stealing concepts. I know you love Yanyu, don't I love her? She died, didn't I despair? However, every life is equal, and I can't sacrifice those innocent people for Yanyu. True justice is the law of the jungle, and it makes sense. I used to be like that, but I realized it was so wrong and that it was just an excuse for violence. It's time for you to wake up. ”

"Don't act like you know me very well, who should wake up?" he sneered, his voice choked a little, "You said, you used to be like this, but I wasn't like this in the past······! That's what I looked like when I woke up. ”

"Well, no one can convince you, can they?"

"She can, but only if she survives. ”

"Well, then, I'll have to send you to her. ”

"I hope you do what you say. ”

······

Xunzhen, a small town in the southwest corner of the ancient country of Jingchuan, is not far from the old site of Shaoyang, it is surrounded by mountains, the mountain is not high, it can be regarded as a large hill, and there is a small lake in the town. Its winters are not so cold, and although its climate is not as good as the small southern town in Xiling, it is placed in Jingchuan in an absolutely short place to live. However, because it is surrounded by "mounds", there is not much flat land available for cultivation, and it is not a commercial route, so the population is naturally small.

Since the division of the ancient kingdom, there have been constant wars in Jingchuan's homeland. Those important towns and arteries change hands at least two or three times a month. Because of its remote location, Xunzhen is also very quiet, and because of the narrow land and tight food, even refugees are reluctant to move here. For a while, Xunzhen seemed to have been forgotten by the war.

But it is also this kind of secluded place that is very likely to hide special people.

On the outskirts of the town, a man took advantage of the dawn to come to a simple courtyard gate, his right hand, which had only four fingers, hung stiffly at his side, and his left hand was raised weakly, knocked on the door, and then fell to the ground.

A moment later, an old man opened the door, froze in place, and turned back to greet the courtyard.

After a while, a woman pushed a man in a wheelchair to the door.
