Final Chapter Volume 7 Mystery and Fog 0415 The Seventh Night: The Brightest Star in the Night Sky
The rain was pouring down, night was falling, the starry sky was in the distance, and the clouds were overhead.
There were many caves around, but none of them continued to be very deep, and everyone had to hide in groups of a few and scattered. Why this landform is formed here, everyone does not understand, they are not geographical experts, and their interest is not in this.
Zheng Xiaofeng, Dong Quede, Bai Qianyu, Xu Qingyun, and Zhao Wanbi got together, oh yes, and Cheng Ruxue, time seems to have returned to the time when they first met, probably in many caves, they have all left a deep imprint on each other's lives.
The Big Dipper is still faintly visible, but unfortunately, their current destination is due south, not north.
Everyone didn't say a word, on the one hand, their bodies were already very tired, and the big war was imminent, and on the other hand, they had their own concerns.
This cave can accommodate these people, but it is actually very crowded, Bai Qianyu deliberately did not hide with Shen Qianjue, because he had already made up his mind to draw a line with her in the future.
Dong Quede had a slight hesitation in his eyes, not knowing where he should go, the bad news of his junior brother and sister was too sudden, and what he felt for a while was not sadness, but panic. He is becoming more and more unconfident now, he doesn't know how to pass on the incense of any door, it's not that he is not confident, but he really doesn't have this ability at this stage.
Xu Qingyun was probably worried about Tang Xiaoyue, while Zhao Wanbi was probably missing his big mecha.
But if you think about it, it's still a little ridiculous, no matter how worried they are now, whether they can get past the hurdle of the man in red in front of them is not necessarily accurate, maybe everyone will die here, so there is no need to talk about the future.
Cheng Ruxue sat quietly at the entrance of the cave, her left leg propped up, one hand on it, looking very leisurely. Zheng Xiaofeng stood opposite her, both of them looking at the starry sky in the distance.
To be honest, Cheng Ruxue was a little unexpected, Bai Qianyu was afraid to avoid Shen Qianjue, she thought that Zheng Xiaofeng would treat herself like him, but now it seems that Zheng Xiaofeng obviously didn't do that.
Cheng Ruxue was a little curious, and looked at Zheng Xiaofeng playfully, and when she saw the gunshot wound on Zheng Xiaofeng's shoulder that was still bleeding, she suddenly asked, "Why did you save me during the day?" β
Of course, there was no trace of gratitude in the tone of the question, it was really just pure curiosity, and perhaps, a hint of mockery.
"If I were you, I would definitely watch me die, and you don't have to do it yourself, wouldn't it be more than one stone?"
Zheng Xiaofeng was stunned, maybe he didn't hear it, and only after a long time did he turn his head and look at Cheng Ruxue.
"No matter how many times you choose, I'll save you because I want you back."
When the rest of the people heard this, their eyes widened for a while, and they looked at Zheng Xiaofeng incredulously, but no one dared to make a sound to interrupt the conversation between the two people.
Zheng Xiaofeng's expression and tone were extremely calm, not at all like what he should be in the face of the enemy.
Cheng Ruxue paused for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled strangely, shook her head, and said, "You are really ridiculous, of course, even more pitiful." β
To be able to say such a sentence from Cheng Ruxue's mouth is simply ...... It's like a dream......
"You don't understand...... I'm right to you... There is no more hatred anymore. Zheng Xiaofeng clenched his teeth, the devil knew how determined he was to say this, even if he knew so clearly in his heart when he said it, he was completely lying, but he ...... had to bite the bullet and do this, "The enmity between us is over, you are the only one left in your family, and I am the only one left in my family, which is very fair...... I originally loved you like that, but in this life, it seems that there is no fate...... Now you are a partner to me, all I can do is protect you, let you live, and then ...... Let go of hatred...... Back to the way you were...... From now on, we have settled our grievances, and we don't have to see each other again......"
The first half of the sentence is very fake, but the second half of the sentence is really Zheng Xiaofeng's heartfelt words, after a whole day of thinking, facing Cheng Ruxue with such an attitude, this is the conclusion that Zheng Xiaofeng has reached. He couldn't allow Cheng Ruxue to live in such a state for the rest of his life, and in order to wake her up, he was willing to say things like letting go of hatred. This second personality was born out of hatred, and maybe, she will also disperse because of letting go of hatred.
Killing her and waking her up, Zheng Xiaofeng had to choose one, probably as long as he could let her come back, those good memories of the past could be completely put down.
So after doing all this, he really couldn't love her anymore......
But is this personality really willing to let go of hatred? Maybe this is just Zheng Xiaofeng's wishful thinking, no, he was injured during the day because he protected her, but he couldn't even get a good word back at night.
Dong Quede and Bai Qianyu's faces were solemn, and they couldn't help but feel bitter for Zheng Xiaofeng, if this was the end of the two of them, they would obviously live up to the upheaval along the way...... But the world, I'm afraid, will not always follow people's wishes, everything in the past is just an insignificant memory......
There is no memory, it is really not unforgettable, it is just that time has not passed long enough......
So long that it can even cost a person's entire life......
What is even more helpless and even desperate is Cheng Ruxue's expression, which is still cold and mocking.
"HehβI see. So, you're trying to 'influence' me? Cheng Ruxue said, suddenly straightened her waist, and a fierce anger clearly appeared in her eyes, "Zheng Xiaofeng, don't you really think you're funny?" I told you, she's dead! Now in front of you is your enemy, and you can even be soft-hearted by your enemy, which is simply stupid! Let me make it clear to you, one of us must die, and you have only two choices, either pay for your life or suffer forever! β
Dong Que covered his eyes silently, a little unbearable to listen to it anymore.
Zheng Xiaofeng is surprisingly strong, and after three years of hard work, it seems that he has finally developed an iron heart. He didn't get angry, didn't cry, didn't repeat the emotions that had exhausted him, but slowly squatted down and knelt on one knee in front of Cheng Ruxue.
The eyes are slightly red, not because of sadness, but because of sincerity.
"Please...... I'm begging you...... Let her come back...... I can grant you anything you ask for other than to die......"
Cheng Ruxue was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward with a chuckle, and almost stuck it in front of Zheng Xiaofeng's face and said: "It's a pity, you ruled out the only possibility, you want me to stop hating, only you die!" β
Zheng Xiaofeng lowered his head for a while, his fists clenched, his teeth clenched, and he tried his best not to completely despair.
For a long time, when everyone was at a loss, Zheng Xiaofeng put his hand into his pocket and took out the compass.
"Whether you're her or not, you must remember this, don't you......"
Cheng Ruxue's face finally changed at this moment, and she looked at the compass blankly, unable to speak. That's right, she remembers, she can't forget, because it is something left by Cheng Di.
An even more gloomy aura suddenly emerged, and Cheng Ruxue suddenly said gloomily: "You don't deserve it." β
"Yes, I don't deserve it." Zheng Xiaofeng did not refute. "Give it to me!" Cheng Ruxue stretched out her hand to grab it.
However, Zheng Xiaofeng retracted his hand and did not hand over the compass, and the two began to look at each other sharply for a while.
"You should know the meaning of this compass." Zheng Xiaofeng said, "It carries a vision for the future... Carrying all the good hopes...... Since you keep saying that you want to protect her, you should know that she will not allow even the slightest bit of hatred to dust it. When she handed it to me, she said to me, 'May this compass bring your lost heart back into the distance,' and now I give it back to you, and if you want to take it away, take it away." β
When the rest of the people heard this, their hearts suddenly lifted, and they said that Zheng Xiaofeng finally gave Cheng Ruxue a problem, and their eyes couldn't help but show some expectations. However, the disappointing thing happened soon, Cheng Ruxue was silent for a moment, and then put down her hand again, looking less interested in the compass.
Her expression was a little treacherous for a while, and she distanced herself from Zheng Xiaofeng, and said: "Actually, during the day, I can dodge, just to see if you are really so stupid that you will rush over to save me." Unfortunately, their bullets are too slow to kill you. β
The words are amazing.
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Xiaofeng's eyelids jumped suddenly, and the hand holding the compass instantly clenched, and even made a "squeak" sound, and the hatred that had been "put down" by him was about to gush out uncontrollably for a while.
Seeing this, Xu Qingyun hurriedly walked over, stood between the two, patted Zheng Xiaofeng and said, "Half an hour is up, it's time to go." β
Xu Qingyun understood that the conversation could not continue, and everyone knew that there were actually several minutes left before half an hour.
But Xu Qingyun didn't care, pulled Zheng Xiaofeng and hurriedly walked out, and beckoned the others to prepare to go. The conversation was forcibly suspended, and Cheng Ruxue showed a smug smile.
Dong Que was beside Bai Qianyu and the others one after another, Ruxue looked at her for a moment with a heavy face, and couldn't say a word.
Soon the team regrouped, and the rain was a little weaker, and all emotions should be suppressed, and it was the same for everyone, because the last part of the road had already begun.
β¦β¦
At the top of the mountain, in the center of the clearing, an abyss turned sharply, echoing the dark sky, and for a moment it was impossible to tell whether it was higher that day or whether the abyss was deeper.
A man in a police uniform stood alone beside the abyss, his thin body blown by the wind, as if it would slap him down at any moment.
It's Morgan.
A day earlier, he had seen the man in red jump into the abyss, and he had not heard from him since.
A rush of footsteps suddenly came from behind, and Morgan was startled, put away his almost empty eyes, and turned around sharply.
It is a mercenary of more than two dozen star gods.
Morgan exhaled, then frowned and asked, "What are you doing here when you're not defending down there?" β
Zhang Ziyang didn't think about it, and immediately responded to the pre-thought excuse: "Shen Qianjue and Yan Feiyu have attacked with black and white people, and we can't hold it anymore!" Officer, what now?! β
Morgan looked panicked, and immediately said angrily: "What should I do? How do you say?! What can I do?! If you can't keep it, you have to keep it, and if you anger that adult, all of us will surely die! β
Zhang Ziyang pretended to be embarrassed, struggled for a long time, and asked tentatively: "Officer, do you want to ...... Send some more men to support us, you're in the White Road... After all, he's a very prestigious person......"
"You're crazy?!" Morgan almost pointed to his nose and scolded, and he could see that his nerves were extremely tense along the way, "Are you afraid that my identity will not be revealed?" I'm afraid I won't die, right?! I'm acting with you, and you're counting on me to transfer people from the police?! β
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ziyang and the others let out a long breath.
That's what they're waiting for.
However, after Morgan finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the situation, and his eyes suddenly became suspicious, and he began to look at these people carefully.
"Why are you asking these strange words?" Morgan twisted his neck and said, "Your voice...... Something ...... familiar."
When Zhang Ziyang heard this, he simply stopped pretending, let go of his pinched throat, and laughed with relief: "Sir, can't you even recognize me?" β
"What?! Zhang Ziyang! Morgan screamed, he was shocked on the spot, and his right hand hurriedly took out the pistol like an electric shock, but Zhang Ziyang had already raised the muzzle of the gun, and his expression was relaxed and confronted him.
More than two dozen people tore off their disguise masks together, and Morgan's face turned pale when he saw it.
"As the head of the Flying Eagles, he is indeed vigilant enough." Zhang Ziyang said leisurely, "But that sentence is enough, you're done." As he spoke, he revealed the Flying Eagles' exclusive watch, which had the function of recording.
How could Morgan not understand what the recording would bring him, and for a moment his face turned ruthless, his fingers pressed on the trigger, and he couldn't help but tremble violently. Zhang Ziyang glared for a moment and threatened: "Sir, I can remind you that your gun is not as fast as mine." β
Morgan's heart twitched, of course he knew very well what the concept of the code name of "Ghost Xing" was, before Yan Feiyu arrived, he was the only existence of the Flying Eagles, and he originally wanted to shoot and fight, but when Zhang Ziyang reminded him like this, it seemed that he couldn't take out this ruthlessness at all.
"Get on your knees and be bound, and you will be free from the pain of flesh and skin." Zhang Ziyang warned again.
Morgan's eyes suddenly rolled, and he hesitated for a long time without saying a word, and after a long time, he seemed to have given up resistance, threw the gun, and nodded.
"Good." Zhang Ziyang said, took out a pair of handcuffs from his waist, threw them at the opposite side, and then at the moment when he raised his hand, Morgan's eyes changed suddenly, and he turned around and jumped towards the abyss.
"Not good!" Zhang Ziyang was shocked, the muzzle of the gun had been locked on to the target for a moment, but as a police officer's professional habits, coupled with the consideration of important witnesses, he failed to shoot this shot.
Several people rushed over and gathered around the abyss, only to see where there was a climbing rope that had been tied to the depths of darkness.
"Damn, I actually let him escape!" Tang Xiaoyue couldn't help but say angrily.
Zhang Ziyang was also annoyed, but after a few seconds, he said again: "Forget it, it's okay, anyway, the evidence is already in hand, and he can't run away." β
"Shall we catch up now?" Ling Long asked again, she wanted to ask everything, it seemed that she had stayed by Wind Demon Qin's side all the year round, and she had almost no opinions.
"No need." Zhang Ziyang said, "The man in red must be down there, and we are not opponents if we go down, just wait here, and wait for Chief Yan and them to meet us." β
Several people looked at each other and exhaled helplessly, it seems that this is the only way to do now, I hope that the large army can successfully pass through the last blockade line, that is the necessary prerequisite for them to give it a go.
