In the boundless dark wilderness, there was not a trace of light or a sound. The place was originally extremely peaceful, but suddenly there was a burst of rapid running footsteps, chaotic and mixed with heavy breathing.
The voice sounded like that of a girl, delicate and weak, but the steps were very heavy, as if they were filled with lead. It was difficult to lift and weak to put down.
The girl seems to have the ability to distinguish where are the ditches, where are the dead trees, and where are the house obstacles in the dark, so even when running, she will often jump hard or change directions to get out of the way. Block abandoned walls.
The person she was carrying on her back was still dripping with blood, but it was much less than before, but he still seemed to be lying motionless, and his body was as cold as dead.
After a moment, the boundless black wilderness became quiet again, and the girl's heavy footsteps gradually disappeared into the further darkness.
…
I don't know how far I ran, but two voices came intermittently from the darkness: one who was almost struggling with all his strength, and one who was extremely weak.
"O-Old You, let her let me down. I-I can't escape like this!"
"It's useless for you to go back. That's a master above Four Yuan Tian."
"Xiaohai, they... I can't escape alone, please put me down quickly."
"You're already like this. Even if I let you down, you won't be able to kill me."
"I, can't, Lao You, I can't, let, let Xiaohai, they, fight to the death for me, for me, but I, I throw, throw, abandon them, escape, escape... I, I Chu Chu Yunsheng has never done such a thing... Even if he dies, I will die with them!"
"If you don't go back, they might still be alive. If you go back, there's no chance they can survive."
"You, you don't understand, that, Ash, Shadow Man, won't leave alive, leave trouble in the future, he, he will definitely, definitely, eradicate the roots."
"Then you can't go back. If you go back, their sacrifices will be worthless!"
"O, Lao You, even if I, I escape, and, where can I escape to? Four, Yuan Tian, Gao, master, I, I can't win at all, sooner or later, sooner or later, one of them will die. , Lao You, I have run away enough. I have run away enough in this life, it is better to fight and die with Xiao Hai and the others!"
"Have you forgotten what Yu Xiaohai said to us? He said why should he trust a group of strangers instead of you, a master and brother? He said he believed you could give them a future. You must really want to be worthy of them. , just survive. Kill those bastards, avenge them, and give them a future."
"There is no future. I already don't know where the future is? I once lost my brother who fought and died to let me survive...Old man You, you, just pity me. I don’t want to lose them anymore... This world is too cruel and cold. I struggle, I try my best to find reasons, once and for all. Survived, but still, there is no way to survive, Lao You, I want to die, really want to die, and die with those who are willing to die with me, I, I am content, I am content..."
"I won't let you die. If you want to live, you must live!"
…
"Lao, Lao You, put me down."
…
"Lao You, you, you, you, bastard, put it down, put me down!"
…
In the end, the voice almost trembled and begged: "O-Old You, that person is too, too strong. I know very well in my heart that I can't defeat him at all... You are so pitiful and pitiful. , I... I don't want to die alone in the future, alone. I'm so scared. I'm afraid of being alone, with no one to talk to. Do you know? Sometimes, I'm all by myself. Talk to yourself, pretend to be another person, smile at yourself, do you know that feeling of being so lonely that you are going crazy? Laoyou, let me down, this is my only one I don’t have a chance to die alone. I’m afraid I won’t have such a chance again..."
Cold tears fell down his cheeks and onto the girl's tender neck. She shivered in the cold wind, and accidentally tripped over her feet. The two of them fell into a "ditch" of sticky, smelly water with a wisp of green smoke.
Exhausted, seriously injured, running long distances, and violently hitting the ground... they almost fainted at the same time, and the sad voice said one last sentence:
"I don't want to... be like a dead dog..."
…
…
I don't know how long it took, but a tear fell from the corner of Chu Yunsheng's eyes, and he quietly opened his eyes, that's it. I looked at the sky quietly, and a long, long time passed without moving.
After a long time, he wanted to move, so he used his remaining arm to scratch the sticky ground, climbed out of the "ditch", held his sword, propped himself up and sat up cross-legged, and then inserted the sword into his broken arm. On one side, he continued to sit quietly, motionless.
The cold winter wind blew across the ground, whining, scraping his cheek like a knife, coagulating the blood on it and drying the tears in the corners of his eyes.
He remained motionless.
After a long time, there was a rustling sound behind him, and a wisp of smoke floated out.
"you're awake?"
Chu Yunsheng did not look back, and still looked quietly at the place where the sword met the sky.
"I'll go wake Afu up and carry you out of here as soon as possible."
Lao You didn't know what to say, so he said this.
"Let her sleep for a while longer." Chu Yunsheng still didn't look back, still looking quietly at the place where Jian Tian handed over.
"Leader..." Lao You realized that Chu Yunsheng was awake, and he didn't know what to say: "Please, my condolences, my condolences, by the way, Yu... they should all have died in the battle now..."
Chu Yunsheng didn't say anything and was silent for a long time. He only heard the sound of the cold winter wind blowing through the sharp sword body, making a clear sword cry.
The sky and the earth were so quiet, with a hint of sadness.
"Lao You——" Chu Yunsheng suddenly said in the gust of wind: "Thank you, you saved my life."
"Leader, villain..." Lao You still didn't know what to say. He could feel that Chu Yunsheng's surroundings were not only quiet, but also had a hint of killing, like the sound of a clear sword.
"Every time I shed a tear, I will give up on this world." Chu Yunsheng said quietly: "If one day, I shed my last tear for this world, I think I will become a heartless person. Human beings are like this cold sword."
"Leader?" Lao You raised his head and asked with a complicated expression.
"So-" Chu Yunsheng interrupted. Quietly looking at the sharp sword dividing the earth and the sky in two: "While I have not become a completely heartless person, while I can still speak, I am still willing to tell my own affairs... Are you willing to listen?"
"Villain..."
…
…
Chu Yunsheng spoke quietly, without sadness or excitement. As if he was talking about a person who had nothing to do with him, he spoke calmly, describing how he got the ancient book, how he practiced the sword, how he killed the red beetle, how... until he saw the six sequences of the skeleton, he recounted them one by one, and finally , said quietly:
"Xiaohai said to me a few days ago, let me not keep everything in my heart. Sooner or later, I will go crazy. He wanted to help me, so he wanted to listen to me, but I didn't say that when he was alive, I He didn't say it. When he lived again, he gave me another chance to say it. I still didn't say it. Now, there is no chance again.
I don’t blame God. It was fair, even partial. It gave me two opportunities, but I didn't cherish them. so……
Lao You, today I want to say that I want to cherish it, because in the next life, no matter how much I regret, we will never meet again. "
Chu Yunsheng finished speaking calmly. Lao You felt very distressed and uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say.
The two of them stayed in silence, looking at the sword and the sky, until the blue-haired girl woke up.
…
"Where are we going?" Chu Yunsheng knew that Lao You would take the blue-haired girl with him even to death, so he must have planned it.
"Go to Egypt." Lao You said calmly: "Find the Great Pyramid and leave here."
"Where to go?" Chu Yunsheng still said quietly.
"Her planet." Lao You pointed at the blue-haired girl and said, "I have looked through all the historical and archaeological archives, and based on Afu's description and drawings, the Great Pyramid in Egypt is the only one we can find so far, and it may be preserved. The intact descending passage.”
I don’t know why, but after Chu Yunsheng said those words, Lao You stopped calling himself a villain, and Chu Yunsheng didn’t ask any questions.
"Okay, that's the safest place for you two to go." Chu Yunsheng said calmly while looking at the sword body and listening to the sound of Qingyue's sword.
"What about you?" Lao You heard what Chu Yunsheng meant.
"I will stay here." Chu Yunsheng's hair fluttered in the cold wind and he said quietly: "This world, whether it is a node or a pseudo-monument, is all because of me, and I will give them a future."
"Are you going to choose that path?" Lao You was silent for a moment and sighed. He was referring to the path mentioned in the Six Sequences of Bones.
"I didn't choose the road, it was chosen by others. I just want to change the path." Chu Yunsheng said against the cold wind.
"That gray shadow man is very strong, with power above the level of Cardinal Yuanmen." Lao You thought for a while and said seriously.
"So, I will go to Egypt with you first, and then I will find a way to kill it." Chu Yunsheng said while looking at the place where the sword met the sky.
"Since you have made your decision, I will no longer advise you. In fact, I always make bad ideas." Lao You laughed at himself and said, "But there is one thing that I haven't had time to tell you yet."
"Then let's talk now." Chu Yunsheng said calmly.
"No matter what you do, I hope you can live, because when I was looking through history and archeology, I discovered a secret. Although it still needs to be verified, -" Lao You paused and continued:
"Humanity is a very miserable race. You may actually be enslaved, including your ancestors, from generation to generation. A spaceship crashed on the planet Afu. According to Afu's description, of course she didn't know, But I understood that it was a slave ship, and the cargo inside was probably you humans. In fact, another purpose of going to Egypt this time was to find evidence.
So you really want to give them a future, not a false world here, but really give those who are alive and those who will be born - Xiaohai, their descendants and your descendants a future where they are no longer enslaved... "

Second update, something happened at night, and sadly I stayed up late again.
