"You made a mistake." Shen Wujun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, or poisonous blood. "Now, I'm going to tell you."
What is it?
They all looked at him, waiting for Kanna-kun to say the next words. Xie Zhe vaguely felt that these words were important, important enough to change the current situation of the war.
Shenwujun took a step forward, suddenly held the sword in both hands, and bowed to Yin Guihong. This is a very standard movement. The waist is bent straight down, and the arc is enough to make a branch break and make a "click" sound.
Where is this song coming from? None of them understood it, including Yin Guihong.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Yin Guihong gritted his teeth and said, "The matter has become a big deal, so you want to apologize?"
"I don't beg for your forgiveness, and I never need your forgiveness. I understand your pain, but I don't care. What I care about is that I do regret what happened to you - so I let it go. you."
Yin Guihong's veins jumped after hearing this.
"What do you mean? I have to thank you in the end?"
Kanna-kun actually let out a sigh.
"I have never pitied you for your past...but I feel for your experience. Yes, I am guilty of this. I don't need you to accept this feeling, and I will not apologize for what I have done. But I want to tell you. , I know what I did, even though I temporarily forgot it because of my busy work, but, I admit - I was moved by compassion."
Yin Guihong felt a certain muscle on his face twitching uncontrollably. He couldn't tell why. Did he feel angry at these bastard words, or was he really touched by something? For more than ten years, he has never wanted Kanna-kun to say sorry for this, after all, he really has no such obligation. To Kanna-kun, these words may be taken seriously as an apology.
"So you let me go?"
"So I let you go."
"You, do you know how stupid your words sound now?" Yin Guihong was trembling all over, "It's too late! Let me tell you, you would have been five or eight years earlier! If you had taken the initiative to come to me in person Apologize, I would have forgiven you at any time in the past, or at least, I understood the order you received - but now we have to face each other with swords! You have killed demons and demons throughout your life, and countless people have died under your sword. You are so busy, why can't it be my turn! That is, you are Kannawu-kun, how much face do you have? Who is my surname, and how many people with the same surname are there in the world? Can you argue with me? "
These emotional statements are almost divorced from rationality, but it is not difficult to understand. Xie Zhe couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. So far, what happened in front of them has exceeded their expectations. Although Lord Shigetsuki was still struggling with the tengu, these conversations still reached her ears. Even if she wasn't busy right now, if I asked her to speak, she wouldn't be able to say a few decent words.
Seeing that she was still fighting hard, Han Chang glanced at Xie Zhe. Immediately afterwards, he ran towards the battlefield over there, jumped into the air, and transformed into a huge nine-tailed demon fox. When the demon fox suddenly appeared in Lord Shuangyue's field of vision, she felt a little surprised, and then quickly rejoined the battle, trying to cooperate with Han Zhang to deal with this irrational monster. The nine tails are burning with flames reaching into the sky in this realm. If there is a concept of darkness here, then these fires must be enough to usher in daylight here.
Kanna-kun put his hand into the curtain hat and wiped away the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth with the knuckles on the back of his hand. They began to solidify, causing him slight discomfort as he spoke.
"Perhaps I can make amends. What do you want? My death? If that will appease your anger?"
"Stop looking down on others!" Yin Guihong said in a shocked voice, "You are talking about impossible things. Are you teasing me?!"
"I don't."
"You just want me to give up revenge! That's why you're saying this. What's the so-called compassion! Heart? Do you really have such a thing? Haha, hahahaha..."
Yin Guihong laughed wildly, but his voice became lower and lower, making people feel a little tired. His movements were also much more relaxed, and his muscles were no longer tense. He took a few steps forward dejectedly, and Jin Mieya dragged scratches on the ground. His laughter continued. After a while, the voice became loud and passionate again. He said angrily:
"Hahahahahahaha! Fuck you! What do you mean? Do you think it's funny to say this? I'm telling you, I don't need your sympathy! I can't believe that you have to admit that you are soft-hearted. When? I don’t believe the nonsense you are telling! If what you say is true - if it is true..."
His voice dropped again, as if covered with a thick veil and became muddy.
"Then my hatred is...unnecessary? My anger is just for my own sake and being more serious with myself? My revenge is just being used by someone...for fun of you people. This is all. This is between you and me, how could you - leave the stage without authorization, declare yourself without authorization, and not participate in the performance? In this way, wouldn't it become a one-man show for me? "
"you……"
Even Kanna-kun felt that he was too weird at the moment. Xie Zhe couldn't help but swallow. He knew that it was useless to say anything now, and he couldn't get a word in at all. But if there was something that could be done... Then again, what could be done?
"How could I allow this to happen?"
The last string of the same name as reason was broken.
"Get out of the way!"
When Shen Wujun roared, his movements were synchronized with the sound, and he knocked Xie Che to the ground with a sweeping kick. He was defenseless and knocked down so hard that his shoulders and head hurt as if they were about to burst. But when Xie Zhe came to his senses, he realized that he should really thank Shen Wujun for this kick. There was still the buzzing sound of sword energy in their ears - just now, Yin Guihong attacked with his sword, and Jin Mieya slashed the ground behind them, making the gray earth tremble. Xie Zhe and Shen Wujun quickly retreated and regained their distance. But Yin Guihong was too fast, as if all the emotions in his body were transformed into strength, and the tragedy of losing his loved one seemed to have happened just now. He attacked again, and the two of them gave up the fight completely and only relied on dodging to save their lives. This time, Jin Mieya was deeply inserted into Kanna-kun's foothold for a moment, and at the same time there was a harsh friction sound, like metal being inserted into metal.
This sky-high anger enveloped the jade pendant, and the demonic power penetrated it, causing thin red lines to slowly appear on its emerald green interior, just like the bloodshot eyes on the whites of the eyes, and it was even expanding and spreading. The tengu who was fighting with the nine-tailed demon fox suddenly froze, turned around, and his eyes turned scarlet, as if something had taken over his consciousness. Powerful anger has overflowed from Yin Guihong, and they have become detectable, but the color is indescribable - after all, it is just pure power. They are like flames, like running water, like lightning, and like aurora. That strong and soft posture blossomed, hungry for a new container, and thus took possession of the tengu's body through that deceptive connection, even if it had no tangible entity. Anything affected by this wrath will suffer, and they should be thankful that this barren Tengu Tomb is in ruins.
"Let me ask you another question..."
Yin Guihong's hand tightly grasped the handle of Jin Mieya's knife. The blade is still stuck in the ground and will be pulled out at any time.
"Why couldn't you kill me in the first place?"
Kanna-kun cannot answer this question. Literally, he couldn't answer. Because he knew exactly what the question implied. If it really had a literal meaning, then he had already answered it - compassion, that's all. But that moment of empathy has led to the current situation, and he cannot evaluate whether this decision was correct or not.
"Leave me alone."
One person has survived these ten long years.
"Do you know how I spent these years?" His hand holding the knife was steady, but his body couldn't stop trembling, and so did his voice. "I am lucky... I did not starve to death, was not eaten by wild beasts, and was not reduced to a slave and beaten to death. I was adopted, educated, and taught survival skills. However, there are no longer those that can touch me. It's over - my adoptive father is indeed worthy of respect, but he can only be respected and loved. Once there is the warmth brought by a real family, everything else is just a sad substitute. I can be resentful towards my parents - yes, because They followed orders and did stupid things, and then disobeyed orders and did even more stupid things - cure me and make me healthy. My brother, sister, and I were raised by these two pairs of evil hands, and the old people also I need this care. I know how am I innocent? Whenever I try to forget these good and bad things, whenever I really feel that these memories have faded, whenever I... whenever I really think that I have let go, they look like They flashed by like ghosts! They kept flashing back and forth, never letting go of me whether I was sleeping or awake! Any little thing, any object could trigger these past images anytime, anywhere, until ten years later, the real ghosts Come to me—give me this ghostly knife.”
Yin Guihong's eyes fell on the tooth blade, his expression was like...an adoptive father looking at his adopted son. He folded his hands and pressed his palms on the handle of the knife. His head drooped deeply, and the bones behind his shoulders were slightly raised. From a distance, it looked like a man bending over a knife without a head. This scene made Xie Zhe feel suffocated. Just listen to Yin Guihong still murmuring:
"I can't forget, I know, I can't escape... They miss me so much, they have been thinking about me all these years after their death. Why should I be left alone to live in this world? Why can't they include me too? Kill. Am I greedy for life? I was clearly afraid of death at the time, but I am not afraid now. I should have been killed by you at that time, and let my life stop at that year forever. In this way, I will not be tortured by this flaming memory. So far, no one will seek revenge from you, and I will not face the endless loneliness! Your self-righteous kindness is just a secondary injury to a life. Your tolerance is your torture weapon. . Now that things have happened...do you regret it? I'll ask you again, do you regret it? Or, just like this, I'll ask you the last question..."
"..."
"If it happened all over again, would you let me go?"
"If I could do it all over again, I would still make the same choice."
Kanna-kun doesn’t want to lie.
Yin Guihong, who had all his strength supported by Jin Mieya, suddenly stopped shaking. The whole person was motionless, frozen there, as if even breathing had stopped. Even Kanna-kun cannot remain indifferent.
"I want to tell you something," Kanna-kun took a deep breath, "No one is lonely."
He couldn't hear.
