Chapter 26: A Strange Reappearance
A violent tremor passed through Li Jiangliu's body, causing him to freeze in place like a stone statue. Slowly, he twisted his body, and in front of him came into view a beautiful face, a face that had appeared in his countless dreams. However, unlike the previous dreamlike encounters, everything today seemed to be full of uneasiness and fear, and he was so frightened that he could not wake up from this nightmare.
Li Jiangliu has always been a willful person, doing things on a whim, and there are many unjust souls under his command, but he has never cared about these. Today, however, he has finally tasted the bitter fruits of his past actions.
Ouyang Mingzhu didn't notice the change in Li Jiangliu's face, she quickly bypassed him, stood in front of the bed, blocked her father and Meng Yan behind her, looked at Li Jiangliu firmly, and did not flinch: "As long as I am alive, I will never let you hurt them." ”
The girl's weak body built an impenetrable line of defense, but she didn't realize that from the moment she appeared here, Li Jiangliu could no longer move.
Li Jiangliu froze in place, staring at the girl's determined expression, and the remorse in his heart was like a knife cut: "Why, why, why is it her father, I actually chose this fate, why did I kill her father, God, why did you treat me like this." Her father had died because of me, and how could I count on her forgiveness...... No, he still has a chance to redeem it. ”
This thought flashed, and Li Jiangliu suddenly became full of spirits and hurriedly stepped forward, intending to help Meng Jiang at a critical moment.
However, he ignored one point, the girl had always thought in her heart that he was going to do something to her father and even her sweetheart. The moment he stepped forward, Ouyang Mingzhu shouted angrily and pounced on him, his fingers spread out, and he grabbed his face.
Seeing the once gentle shadow attacking like a ghost, in the face of the attack that she avoided with her light side, Li Jiangliu actually froze in place, forgetting to dodge.
Ouyang Mingzhu's slender ten fingers almost touched Li Jiangliu's cheeks, and just as he was about to strike, Master Ouyang suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and a red Gu worm the size of a bean flew out with the blood mist. Meng Yan quickly stood up, stretched out his hand and pushed Ouyang Mingzhu's shoulder in the air, her body instantly lost its balance and fell to the side.
Seeing the girl moaning in pain on the side, Li Jiangliu was furious, pointed at Meng and shouted: "You dare to hurt her, you actually hurt her in front of me, I will definitely let you die a bad death." ”
"That's unexpected, isn't it?" Meng Yan shook his head speechlessly, very surprised by Li Jiangliu's behavior.
Li Jiangliu wanted to step forward to attack, but found that his feet were tightly grasped. When he looked down, it was the girl he loved who hugged his feet tightly. He hurriedly withdrew the power he was supposed to use, but he didn't have time to react, causing a wave of internal breath to be unsettled, and the blood in his chest surged, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Meng Kang couldn't bear the farce in front of him anymore, coughed lightly, and beckoned to the girl who was standing at the foot of Li Jiangliu, desperately trying to break free: "Hey, Ouyang Mingzhu, come here, he won't hurt anyone anymore." ”
Ouyang Mingzhu felt that the joy in his heart was beyond words, and the originally tense situation seemed to be left behind at this moment. Without hesitation, she left Li Jiangliu's side and walked up behind Meng Yan lightly, eagerly checking her father's condition.
The dispelled female Gu flew in the air for a moment, but was pulled by the Gu Master's attraction, and finally flew towards the Li River. Li Jiangliu stretched out his hand and caught the Gu insect steadily, his palm was open, and his eyes were fixed on the Gu insect. Then he looked up at the man he liked standing in front of him, but those eyes that had once been bright now paid no attention to him at all, as if he didn't exist. Li Jiangliu's heart was instantly invaded by severe pain, like a ruthless hand tightly pinching his heart, completely crushing his heart.
He looked down at the Gu worm that he once regarded as a treasure, and smiled bitterly: "Alas, Heart-Touching Gu, this name is really appropriate, it would be more appropriate to change it to Heartbroken Gu." I once thought of you as my life, and you broke my heart so mercilessly. Since you've broken my heart, what's your use? His voice fell, his palms merged, the power in his body surged, he raised his arm high, and then with a forceful swing, the Gu worms instantly turned into powder and scattered. That incomparably precious Gu worm had disappeared without a trace at this moment, and had disappeared into the world since then.
It's a pity that to this day, Li Jiangliu is still obsessed, not only did he not repent, but instead vented his anger on the Gu worms he raised. However, he didn't realize that it was he who was harming others, and what did he have to do with Gu worms. How innocent Gu worm is, serving him loyally, working hard for him, but suffering poison under a moment of dissatisfaction. If these Gu worms possess spirituality, how can they not grieve because of grievances and resentment?
In the depths of the infinite universe, a consciousness fluctuates slightly, and if you look at it from a human perspective, it must be a deep sigh. However, Li Jiangliu may never understand how much impact his actions will have on his future life.
Meng was pondering how to convince Li Jiangliu anyway, and he knew that now was the best time and probably his last chance. In this case, it does not seem to be difficult to solve, and as a benefactor, interceding for Li Jiangliu will almost certainly succeed. However, he also knew that he had to plan his words carefully, and he had to do his best.
However, just as Meng was thinking about how to say it, a long-lost voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "It has been detected that the host has completely changed the fate of the two of them, and it is confirmed that the host is qualified, and now, the host will be taken to meet my creator, please get ready." Count down to three seconds and get ready to start. ”
Meng Yan almost couldn't help but collapse, he couldn't accept this sudden task: "Brother, how is this possible? Now is the moment of truth, and it only takes a little time for me to successfully match these two people. You've given me this task, and I've done my best, can't you just give me another five minutes? ”
However, the system ignored Meng Yan's request and counted down coldly: "Three...... Two...... One ......"
Meng Yan only had time to raise his middle finger to the sky, muttering: "I'll go ......" Then, his eyes turned black and he fell to the ground unwillingly.
