Chapter 58: Dialogue
"Boy. Do you remember why my cannibal came to this tree?"
Could it be that the person who was talking to him near him now was a cannibal? When he heard these three words, Lu Lie faintly felt that something big would happen next. He couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen carefully to every word that the other person said next.
It's a pity that I don't know why now, and I can't move my body at all. Otherwise, Lu Lie really wanted to go back and see what that guy called the cannibal looked like, and whether it was exactly the same as the appearance in his memory.
It's just that after the other party's voice calmed down, before Lu Lie could say anything, he heard another voice ringing out: "Of course I remember." You told us from the first day you met us that you were looking for your son who ran into a tree many years ago and eventually disappeared...... It's really ridiculous to say, Su Wen and I both concealed our purpose at the beginning, Li Yuan simply didn't say it, Yang Wei was already a dead man at that time, but he didn't know. You're the only one who tells the truth. But none of us here believed it. β
Yang Wei, Su Wen, and that Li Yuan, these familiar names appeared in his ears one by one. And the sealed history in the depths of his memory is like a beast that jumps like thunder, constantly trying to break free from his mind and tell himself all the secrets.
And the voice that said this was precisely his own. Lu Lie can be said to be very sure of this. It's been almost ten years, and I was still a child at that time, and my voice was a little immature and green. But no matter what, I was able to tell at once that the voice was my own.
Wait a minute...... That, Li Yuan?
Lu Lie's temples began to jump wildly.
I remembered it, the name that I couldn't remember before, the person who was the most important to me on the journey of the giant tree, wasn't it Li Yuan?
Who was he? What did he do? Why was he the only one who was most impressed by him among all the people in the tree, and why was he the only one who couldn't remember his name?
Thousands of thoughts flowed into Lu Lie's mind, and he felt as if his brain was burning, and the sharp pain could make people go crazy. He wanted to scream, growl, but he held back. Because, I'm afraid this is the last chance to remember my memories, and I definitely can't miss it...... It must not be destroyed...... All this ......
The man's voice, known as the cannibal, rang in his ears again: "I've figured it out now." After so many years, just like what the three heads said in the City of Lost Gods, if my son was still alive in this world, it is estimated that he would have been alienated by the giant tree and turned into a monster. What are you looking for, what are you looking for?"
It's just that his voice is full of sadness and helplessness. I only laughed at myself at the time, and thought that he was saying this to himself in a ridiculous tone.
Lu Lie's body lightened, and he felt someone pull him up, and motioned for himself to walk up the tree: "Go, you can climb up." The old man is here to guard for you. Those zombies come over, the old man can kill them one by one, and he can drag you a little time. β
Lu Lie's vision turned again, and his eyes fell into darkness again. It was only a moment before he woke up from that empty memory that he heard the old voice sigh disillusioned in the darkness: "If my son had stayed on land and not come to this ghost place...... I should be three or four years older than you by now. β
The voice spoke to himself.
......
This is the end of the memories.
When Lu Lie opened his eyes again and returned to the outside of Beacon City. Everything around him remained unchanged, the soldiers in the distance were cleaning up the battlefield, and the captive, known as Sun Xiao, was still standing in front of his eyes, quietly waiting for him to ask him the next question.
Lu Lie came back to his senses, and when he looked at Sun Xiao again, he found that there was indeed a vague shadow of his father between his eyebrows.
"You are the son of the cannibal?" Although he already knew the answer, Lu Lie still confirmed it again.
In this regard, Sun Xiao did not hesitate to reply: "Sun Dao is my father, a fake father." β
"That's strange," Lu Lie sneered, and sat down on the haystack placed on the side of the road, and at the same time motioned for the other party to sit down together, "Why do I remember that the man-eater said that his son went up the giant tree before him, and never came down after that? But let's not talk about how small the probability of this kind of thing happening. If you did manage to come down from the tree, then why did the townsfolk of Zhushi always be sure that I was the only one to come down from the tree in hundreds of years?
"Or did the cannibal actually have two children?"
Sun Xiao wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Lu Lie made a gesture to stop him, "Don't talk yet, I have to ask you another question, which is also the most puzzling to me - that is, even if you are the son of a cannibal, even if you really came down from the giant tree alive in the first place." However, I would like to ask you, I have never met you, and I only learned about you in this world through your father's mouth. And your father was separated from you after he met me, how could you hand over my name the first time we met?"
Speaking of this, Lu Lie's eyes already showed a hint of murderous intent: "Say, who sent you here, and it is estimated that you called my name at this point in time? If your answer is not satisfactory to me, then I will not just kill you." I promise, it will make you regret coming out of your womb in agony. β
Sun Xiao looked at the remnant sun in the distance like blood. After a while, he answered Lu Lie's first question: "Master Lu." First of all, I am really the son of my father Sun Daofang, and Sun Daofang is the only son in this world, and he does not have any illegitimate children or anything like that. β
Lu Lie's heart began to tense, but he was still calm on the surface, and looked at him with mocking eyes: "Oh? That's really interesting." I hope you don't tell me that the cannibal is still alive and has staged such a clichΓ© as a reunion with you, and then you learned of my existence and traveled all the way to Beacon City just to say thank you to me so stupidly answered. I'm not a three-year-old. β
