"Jijo...... Dead?!" My eyes are dark, and I want to fall over.

Araki stretched out his hand to support me.

Venus was surging in front of me, and I couldn't see her expression clearly, but I felt that her white hair seemed to be covered with a layer of white moonlight on her head.

I have seen the living city and walked with him for days, and I know that it is a living man, not a spirit. However, even if he came back from the dead, when I heard Araki say the words "Jicheng is dead" in such a desperate and loveless tone, it was still a thousand arrows piercing my heart and painful!

"Arashi! I know that there will be a future to say about Jicheng, but I can't bear it for a moment, you follow me now, go straight to Huangqiang Fort, take Guan Feng and cut the snow! I am willing to look at their corpses, and then listen to your slow explanation!" "The determination to kill burned in my breast—a familiar feeling that I had forgotten for too long, but it was always in my blood, never gone, just latent.

"My king!" called to me, and I finally saw her face clearly, an empty face.

I suddenly remembered the face of a woman, the face of a mother. On the edge of the water in the Suzune Purple Sea Forest, the desperate mother who watched her son being dragged into the water by the Mizusawa Fairy had this empty look on her face at that time, as if her soul was empty of a big hole, and she couldn't fill it for the rest of her life - it turned out that the mother who had lost her child was the same in the sky and on the ground!

When I thought about it, I was shocked!

the Bloodline!!

For the sake of the continuation of their race, they snatched their children from the bosom of every mother one after another, and dug a great hole in every mother's heart and face, which was so black and deep and empty that every mother had to carry it until she died.

There has never been a moment when hatred has made my blood cold.

Why do you need to kill Guan Feng and Cut Snow? Directly kill the King of the Blood Clan, Wuya, is a hundred!

"It's not about turning off the wind, it's not about cutting the snow, it's about ...... Jicheng, he killed himself himself. The voice of the baroki sounded as if she was tiptoeing the tip of her tongue, and there seemed to be a thorn on the tip of her tongue, as if she used a little more force, and she would be in pain and unable to speak.

He ...... "I can't believe it.

"Yes. Araki's chest rose and fell, trying to calm his voice: "When he saw that I was out of danger safely, he waited for Guan Feng and Xue Xue to turn around, and said two words in front of them: 'I'm sorry,' and after saying that, he plunged the cruciform blade he snatched from my hand into his own chest." ”

"He's dead?" I asked. There was not a hint of tremor in his voice.

"He's dead. He died at that time. At that time, he had not yet become a blood clan, but a human boy of flesh and blood. My cross-shaped blade was used against the Blood, and when he used it on himself, he lost his breath in an instant. Araki's voice was as insensitive as possible.

"You're not there, how can you be so sure?!" my tone suddenly became irritated.

"Yes, I'm not there. But the torture used on the servant made him rather bite off his fingers one by one than dare to tell a lie. Araki replied.

"'I'm sorry'? Why did he say 'I'm sorry'? Who is he sorry for? It's you who should say I'm sorry! You ignored him, hurt him, took advantage of him, and finally killed him, why should he say 'I'm sorry'!" I shouted.

The barren trees don't speak. Only one hand was tightly wrung together, and the joints gurgled and rattled.

"You're dead, you've never seen him again, have you?" I asked again.

"Nope. Araki replied.

"Then tell me, who is the yellow-shirted boy who appeared in the Holy Star Castle and was executed by the so-called sacred ritual and changed from a human to a blood clan? Who is the candidate who was handpicked by the King of the Blood Clan to be the future new king candidate? Who is the young man with two pear vortices in the corners of his mouth and called 'Jicheng' who laughed with me all the way, helped each other, and got through the difficulties together?!" I became angry and roared in a low voice.

“...... I don't really know. Araki replied.

"Yoseki is out of breath, and then?" I asked, taking a deep breath.

And then ...... None of them would touch him again, so they let him go, and the blade was in his chest, and he fell to the ground, and they ...... They all went out and closed the door...... They left him alone, alone...... Dead ......" The barren tree twitched its neck, and the skin on its neck shrunk like a dried stump.

"That's what the waiter told you?" I asked.

"I forced me to ask. Araki said.

"Since this squire is from Huangqiang Castle, you didn't think to sneak into the fort through him and find out whether the city is alive or dead?" I asked.

"I thought about it. Araki replied.

"Why didn't you do that?" I asked.

The little waiter was so tormented that he didn't have time to answer, so he swallowed. Araki said.

"So you never moved your footsteps again, guarding the Yellow Fortress and the soul of the former king below this stone mountain, not leaving an inch, did you?" I asked.

"Yes. I will not go anywhere until I get the conclusive news of Jicheng, until I avenge him, until the former king no longer needs me and drives me away, and until I see the legendary 'good will' and deliver the robe of the former king, I will not leave here. Araki said word by word.

"Now you've achieved everything except the first and second ones...... No, you've already gotten the news about Jicheng, and you know very well that he's not dead! You've asked me about Jicheng's 'Is he well fed, warmly clothed, and in danger along the way?' You know he's still alive! You said you haven't seen him since the bloody wolf incident!Why are you lying?' I asked repeatedly.

"I didn't lie, I got the news of him, but I only heard his voice, but I didn't see him. Araki replied.

"Tell me. ”

"Just a few days ago, I was at the bottom of the rocky mountain, and at that moment, I don't know if I was in a nightmare, and when I remember it, it is both real and illusory. I felt that there was movement outside the mountain, and I was about to come out to check, but suddenly I heard the voice of Jicheng, and I was stunned for a while, unable to move at all. When you are sober, you only listen to Jicheng and say: 'I have done something stupid, it must have broken your heart...... Reincarnated as a human being, my heart is extremely remorseful, I just want to pass on the letter to you, so that you don't worry about me anymore, but I can't get out and see you in every possible way......

"I was so excited that I was almost going mad and fainting to death, and I was about to rush out of the mountains, but the voice of Jicheng stopped me, and I only heard him say, 'I can't see you for the time being...... As of today, I'm no longer human, I'm already a Bloodline...... Will you hate me...... But I have good news for you! The beauty that had been sleeping in the Red Rose Castle has finally woken up, and I have seen her in the Holy Star Castle today. That's the 'good idea' you've been waiting for years ......'"

I was shocked, the meeting in the Holy Star Castle, I thought it was the first time I saw it (of course, Jicheng went to the Red Castle as a guest when he was a child, if he saw me sleeping, he couldn't count.) It turned out that Yoshiro had always known what he was doing, and he must have heard Araki mention me countless times before meeting and talking to me.

I have mixed things in my mind.

"'Is she the future king of your Witch Shadow Clan?' is a very interesting girl...... 'I listened to Yoshijo's words, and suddenly my heart brightened: it turns out that Jijo is not dead! 'Meiyi' has finally been waited! My barren tree has finally come to fruition after all these years of waiting! You can imagine that my heart is unspeakably happy! I didn't have time to ask Yoshijo, why can't I go out of the mountain to see him?

"'You know what?' Yoshijo continued, "I was thinking about how to bring her to you, protect her all the way, and help her succeed to the throne of the Witch Shadow Clan, but I didn't expect it...... Unexpectedly, the Holy King announced his abdication, and I and two other teenagers became candidates for the next new monarch...... 'I was stunned when I heard it, is this person outside who has exactly the same voice as Jicheng really Jicheng?

"At that time, I said coldly: 'Strange people have to allow me to go out of the mountain to see you, because you are not my Jicheng at all!!!' I only heard Jicheng reply: 'It's me, it's really me!' When you held me in your arms, if I hadn't smiled at you, how would you have let go of your murderous thoughts? You can't believe me, but at this moment, I really can't meet you, but I wish one day I could stand in front of you and give you an explanation. You raised me, nurtured me, taught me, your kindness did not dare or forget for a moment, I just ask you to believe in me, I will protect the good intentions, I will become the new king of the blood clan, so that there will be no more disputes and killings in this world, and let the blood clan and the witch shadow clan coexist peacefully!'"

After Araki finished speaking, he stopped, his green eyes empty, and he didn't know where to star.

"And then?" I asked.

"No more. Araki chuckled, "Yoshiro said that he was going to set off immediately, to 'go' to become the new King of the Blood, but he said that before he left, he would definitely bring you and hand it over to me." ”

He ...... That's what he said?" I asked.

"Yes. But he never showed up again. You didn't make it to me until—just now, I brought you out of the Red Warrior Keep. Araki said.

Remembering that when I came back from Shengxing Fort, our family was in the flower hall of Red Castle, and Jicheng suddenly rushed in with a blue nose and swollen face, saying that "don't worry about me", it turned out to be ...... It turned out that he was waiting for an opportunity to take me away, to the bottom of this stone mountain, to the Witch Shadow Clan's barren tree!

In full view, he failed to do so.

Jicheng, it turns out that you have put so much thought into me, and I didn't even notice it!

I can't wait to run to you at once and ask loudly, "That's how you treat your friends?"

Yes, I'm going to go back to Jicheng, I'm going to slap him in the face, I'm going to ......

But before I do that, I have one thing to do.

Two things, to be exact.
