In the endless mist, Gu Xiao opened his eyes.

The world is becoming clearer before our eyes.

He didn't remember why he was here, only that he was there.

Narrow, cramped, and stuck in a limited space.

Next to it is his bear pajamas, his favorite pajamas he used to wear. Every time I put it on, my mother said that I was like a chubby bear.

There are also down jackets with pointed hats to wear in winter.

The cute bunny plush is also there, as well as Mom's beautiful dress.

Mom?

Yes, it seems that there is a strange guest in the house, and my mother let me hide in the closet first.

The wardrobe is cramped and cramped.

By the way, at that time, my father and mother were still alive and well.

The wardrobe is full of shadows, and small fires are lit on the floor, like seeds sown in spring.

The sown seeds gradually sprouted and grew into clusters of fire.

Flames joined together and set the house on fire.

The unpleasant smell of smoke came through the cracks in the closet.

Gu Xiao half-squinted his eyes and looked out.

The shadow of an adult male and the shadow of an adult female stand in the way of a group of people whose faces cannot be seen clearly.

The fists and abdomen collided with each other, and the shadow of the adult woman flew out like a broken sack.

The faceless people drew their weapons, steel knives, baseball bats.

Poof—

Dad's body was broken, like a leaky balloon.

Red, red paint spilled on the floor, and in an instant it was dried by the flames.

The hardwood floors at home were blood-red with red pigment and blackened by the spreading flames, and it was time for Dad to complain that Mom didn't value his precious hardwood floors.

Ahh

Uh-huh-

Hmmm-

Click-

The sound outside gradually decreased, and gradually stopped, Gu Xiao finally dared to open his eyes again and look out through the small gap in the wardrobe door.

A figure approached in the firelight.

It's Mommy, Mommy is back.

Wearing her beautiful white gauze skirt with red stains.

Mom opened the wardrobe door and smiled at Gu Xiao relaxedly, like the smile that her father had just finished his busy work and came home with.

Under the light of the fire, my mother's smile was beautiful, like a flower blooming in the ruins of war.

She hugged Gu Xiao, her voice trembling and a little choked.

"Gu Xiao, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mom has solved everything, everything has been solved."

Gu Xiao felt two lines of warm water droplets gliding across his face, stretched out his little tongue and licked it, salty.

"Mom is here to pick you up, don't be afraid, touch the hair, can't be scared, lift your ears, scare for a while-"

Mother sang the children's rhyme that Gu Xiao had heard since she was a child, soothing Gu Xiao's nervous and frightened heart.

Her embrace, warm and soft, was like the safest place in the world.

Seeing that Gu Xiao was getting better, her mother retreated slightly and looked at Gu Xiao with a smile in her eyes.

"Gu Xiao, it's just that the last thing left has not been resolved."

"Don't worry, Mom will solve it soon."

After speaking, just like when they used to play games together, my mother stretched out her hand and blindfolded Gu Xiao's right eye.

The gentle voice echoed in my ears, like the whisper of a demon.

"It's going to be over soon......"

Gu Xiao only felt that his right eye was black, the flames were invisible, his mother's smile was invisible, and everything was gone.

It hurts –

Severe pain –

It hurts like my right eye being peeled alive—

The right eye is missing.

Even the left eye was temporarily lost.

Before the left eye was completely dark, the last thing Gu Xiao saw was his mother's gentle smile as always.

"Don't worry, mom will solve it soon!"

……

"Whew-"

Gu Yuan woke up from the bed suddenly, covering his right eye with both hands.

It was as if his eyes had really been removed, and his right eye was black and white.

He hurriedly took out the mirror that he never left and looked at the position of his right eye in the mirror.

OK! OK!

The right eye is still there, as always, as cold as an abyss.

But at this time, even the cold gaze in his right eye made Gu Xiao so nostalgic, and the feeling of ice water flowing through his body was still accompanying him.

This is his right eye, his only weapon against endless madness, and even if the price of using it is to deprive himself of all his emotions, he will be willing to do it.

He gasped violently for a moment, and the sweat on his head gradually evaporated.

"It's that dream again."

"It's been nine years since then."

Gu Xiao looked at his skinny cheeks in the mirror.

In nine years, he has gone from a fat bear to a skinny skeleton.

Hungry and full, wandering around, living a life with no meals.

And all this patience, all the suffering, is for the present, for the sake of the world of the lords of the people in front of us!

Saying that 'the advent of the world of the all-people lord came suddenly, and no one knew in advance' is both true and incorrect.

At least most of the humans between the ages of 12 and 60 of Blue Star came in with black eyes, but this did not include Gu Xiao.

Nine years ago, that night, flames burned down the house that had once been called 'home' like wild weeds.

He fled in a hurry, like a homeless wild dog, wandering around, rummaging through the garbage heap for food.

Three months later, when he couldn't hold on anymore, he felt that life was better than death, and he had thoughts of suicide, the picture in his right eye exploded.

Gu Xiao saw the 'Lord God' of the icy big ball of light, saw countless human beings who came to this world like a comet landing, and of course saw the coming of the 'All Lords World'.

Here, is your only hope!

Hatred, anger, and shame will all end here!

Gu Xiao once again recalled the night when the flames burned, and his will had never been as firm as this moment.

I will definitely live, become stronger, and go to the end.

After all, what I carry on my shoulders is not just one life, but the lives of four people!
