The sun sank into the boundless darkness, and the vast night shrouded a messy land.
Countless dead souls are buried under these ruins.
The boy appeared at the top of the ruins. He was wearing a black suit as always, with a pure white rose pinned to the left pocket. His expression was solemn, as if he was attending a grand funeral.
Suddenly, the screen seemed to be stuck for a frame, and the young man suddenly appeared next to the boy, as if he appeared out of thin air, and as if he had been sitting in that position for a long time.
"They didn't deserve to die."
Gu Bei's tone was calm, as if he was discussing whether to have hot pot or barbecue tonight, but the wind around him suddenly became biting, blowing against people like sharp steel knives.
“There is always death, and every life inevitably comes to an end, without exception.”
Lu Mingze picked off the white flowers on his chest and placed them on the abstract flower window at his feet. The pure white crayon graffiti actually flapped its wings and flew out from the wall.
"They were supposed to have a great future."
Gu Bei looked into the distance, and the stars in the sky fell in his hands and turned into a crayon. He looked down at the flower window at his feet: "Just like this girl, she may become a painter or a designer in the future. , art teacher... But now she can only sleep in the cold underground forever."
"This is a necessary sacrifice."
Lu Mingze's expression was as usual, and Gu Bei didn't see any unnecessary emotions.
remorse? Guilt?
Lu Mingze's expression was like a Siberian glacier, a perfect copy of Chu Zihang's facial paralysis, and Gu Bei couldn't read any useful information.
"This is a meaningless sacrifice. You clearly got nothing, and Lu Mingfei didn't agree to your deal."
"My goal has been achieved, and that's enough."
Gu Bei was confused: "What is your purpose?"
"Power is something that fascinates people. Once you have tried to have power and power, it is difficult to go back."
Lu Mingze's words reminded Gu Bei of Lu Mingfei's transformation ability. It was a power given to Lu Mingfei by Lu Mingze, and its function was to unlock 50% of Lu Mingfei's bloodline.
In a sense, this is also power and strength.
Lu Mingze's purpose was to let Lu Mingfei experience the taste of power. As a foreigner, Gu Bei knew very well that power is the most powerful thing in the world, and people who are addicted to it will pursue it at all costs.
but……
"Is that why?"
Gu Bei's eyes were a little cold: "Just because of this, you dragged more than 200,000 people to be buried with you?"
While searching for Sable's memory, Gu Bei noticed a lot of doubts.
The eggs of the next generation should obviously be at the bottom of the volcano, so why do they appear in the cave of Changbai Mountain?
The pressure of the next generation is enough to scare most animals, so how did the sable find it?
Sable is just an ordinary animal hybrid. Why would it ignore the warning of bloodline and choose eggs close to the next generation?
How does an animal-like hybrid destroy the egg shell and eat the flesh and blood inside the egg?
Why did it not turn into a deadpool after eating the flesh and blood from the next generation, but instead improved its bloodline and could even eat it a second time?
All these doubts forced Gu Bei to suspect that there was someone else behind the story, and the first person to be suspected was naturally Lu Mingze, who was the first to learn about the strangeness in Dongsan Province and notify Gu Bei.
Thinking about it now, Gu Bei even doubted whether he was influenced by Lu Mingze, because he could complete this mission independently without Lu Mingfei, but for some reason, when he accepted the mission, his brain twitched and he chose to take Lu Mingfei with him. .
It's really funny. A person who can defeat the Dragon King at the soul level was actually influenced by others subconsciously. It must have been during the confrontation with Lu Mingze in Tokyo.
Lu Mingze nodded without hesitation: "That's why."
He looked at the ruins in the distance without any fluctuation in his eyes, as if everything was taken for granted.
Gu Bei looked at Lu Mingze beside him. It was only now that he remembered that this guy was not a good person from the beginning. It was just his wishful thinking that since this guy was Lu Mingfei's plug-in, he should also be on the side of ( This chapter is not finished yet!)
106.After the end
It was human, but Gu Bei had always ignored it. Although Lu Mingze and Lu Mingfei had that kind of relationship, they were completely different in nature.
Their self-understanding determines their thoughts. Lu Mingfei believes that he is a human being, so he will be affected by the death of ordinary people, think about the meaning of life, and experience and grow.
But Lu Mingze is different. He is a dragon from beginning to end. Although his will will change due to Lu Mingfei's thoughts, it cannot change his own beliefs and cognition.
Dragons never care about the lives of ordinary people.
"Speaking of which, I wouldn't have used this method in the first place."
Lu Mingze's tone changed and he looked at Gu Bei next to him: "If it is the original brother, no matter what method is used, the girl he likes, the parents he has never met, the close friends around him, these are all A sacrificial object. After all, the original brother was just a weak kid. He was so lonely and stubborn. He would never let go of anything he had in his hands. I could easily get what I wanted from him. "
"But my brother is different now. The reason why some things are so precious that he can exchange his life for them is because they are rare and rare. But now my brother has too many things in his hands, so it is difficult for him to cherish anything. I This is the only way."
Lu Mingze was talking, Gu Bei was listening with his eyes closed, and the two of them were like this under the starry sky, on top of the ruins.
One is the mastermind of disaster, the other is the powerless savior.
What an irony.
Gu Bei opened his eyes, and the stars were reflected in his eyes: "You are about to die."
It’s a question, but it’s also an affirmation.
Although he had felt before that Lu Mingze was weak and might not die soon, he had never been so sure.
Lu Mingze did not deny it: "Why do you ask that?"
"I was right."
"It's almost done soon, but it should still take a few years."
"That's soon."
Yes, it's fast. After all, for the old monster whose life span was a few years ago or even eternity, a few years is just a blink of an eye.
"How did you guess that?"
"You're too hasty."
Gu Bei was right, Lu Mingze acted too anxious.
Even if you want Lu Mingfei to inherit the power, the lifespan of a mixed race is so long, especially someone like Lu Mingfei, who has no problem living for two hundred years.
But Lu Mingze looked like he couldn't wait any longer. Whether it was his deal with Gu Bei, his appearance in front of Lu Mingfei in advance, or this next generation incident, it was all for Lu Mingfei to inherit faster. strength.
There is only one explanation: Lu Mingze can't wait any longer.
Mingze was always unable to meet him in person during the journey, and his soul and consciousness were in a weak state that was not in line with his strength. Gu Beicai made a bold guess.
It turned out that he was right.
Lu Mingze suddenly realized: "That's it."
Gu Bei looked at the starry sky: "Our deal is that I help Lu Mingfei inherit your power, and there are no other conditions attached."
Lu Mingze nodded.
"You influenced me and used me this time, but it was to help Mingfei inherit your power. I will not pursue matters within the scope of the transaction, but..."
"Little brat, remember, everything in this world has a price. If you drag 200,000 people to be buried with that dead dragon, I will definitely settle the account with you."
"Wash my neck and wait."
Lu Mingze smiled nonchalantly: "You are still the first one who dares to threaten the devil. I will be waiting for you at any time."
"But I hope you don't come here to die."
The two of them were not just talking about the king, but they had a tacit agreement not to take action but to speak cruelly, because both of them knew that in this dream, neither of them could really kill the other.
In the soul battle, Lu Mingze was slightly better, but Gu Bei was not affected by dreams and would not think that his "death" was "reality", so "death" itself could not be projected into reality.
If two people want to truly kill each other, they must compete face to face.
Lu Mingze's golden boy brightened up: "This time (this chapter is not finished!)
106.After the end
It is a pleasure to cooperate with you and I hope we will have another chance next time. "
He was talking about influencing Gu Bei to bring Lu Mingfei to the three eastern provinces.
"I'm very unhappy. Also, you didn't leave anything weird on me this time, right?"
Lu Mingze spread his hands and showed a sly smile: "Who knows."
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Bei to react, he pushed open the painted flower window on the wall.
The white doves flying in the sky flew into the wall with fluttering wings, and Lu Mingze also walked in. The flower window was closed smoothly, and Gu Bei could only see the boy's rather gentlemanly bow through the gap.
The next second, the flower window returned to the abstract appearance of graffiti, and the white doves turned into white blocks again and returned to the area around the flower window.
Gu Bei felt a weightlessness, raised his head and looked at the starry sky, suddenly unable to distinguish between dreams and reality.
Gu Bei jumped off the ruins and walked forward among the ruins. His purpose tonight was not only to meet Lu Mingze, but also to have another one.
While Yu Yu was walking alone, Gu Bei's heart calmed down little by little. He heard sounds coming from all directions. The sounds were erratic and came from the void.
There was black Qi that enveloped Gu Bei, making Gu Bei blend into the vast night.
This is not the pure energy obtained by refining dragon blood from the Immortal Thief Liuku, but the black color caused by the technique.
One of the Eight Magic Skills, Ju Ling dispatches generals (incomplete version).
Although the pre-requisite skill of Ju Ling Dispatch is called the Art of Inviting Gods, it is actually called Divine Strike, and it can be any witchcraft. Although it is not as mysterious as Ju Ling Dispatch, it allowed Gu Bei to figure out some tricks from it.
The complete version of Ju Ling Qianjiang is still under development, but if it is just a pure Ju Ling, it is basically a commonplace.
As the spirit-binding technique unfolded, the sounds around him became clearer. Some were shouting about pain, some were shouting about hunger, some were exclaiming, and some were wailing.
Countless chaotic sounds filled his brain. Gu Bei endured the pain and collected the remaining souls one after another along the way and threw them into the sea of consciousness, leaving them under the care of Norton and the awakened Sable.
Not long after, Gu Bei cleaned up the large swaths of remnants.
In the sea of consciousness, the sable stood on Norton's shoulders. The remaining spirits occupied half of the sea of consciousness, and the dragon and the sable could only float.
Fortunately, there is no concept of up, down, left, and right in the sea of consciousness. There is no difference between floating and lying down.
This is Gu Bei. If it were someone else, he would have exploded after holding only one Norton Consciousness Sea.
"Hey, Old Long, what do you think that guy did when he crammed in so many people? The place wasn't big to begin with, but now there's not even a place to sleep."
"You don't care about him. When you return to your own body, why don't you just do whatever you want?"
"You put it lightly. I was forced to sign a contract by that guy. I will probably have to listen to him for the rest of my life. It's a pity that my reputation will be ruined."
Norton watched Sable pretend, and there was a trace of human disgust on Long's face.
Gu Bei's voice sounded: "What did you two Didi Gugu say?"
Norton curled his lips: "Nothing."
Sable swung its big tail: "Boss, why did you bring so many people back? Could it be that you want to sign a contract with them all?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Gu Bei appeared behind Sable and picked it up by its big tail: "I know you can absorb souls to strengthen yourself, but if you don't want to become the ghost you are, don't eat randomly. Also, don't I want to take advantage of these people.”
After saying that, Gu Bei directly threw the sable out. The sable floated far away and did not stop until it hit the boundary of the sea of consciousness.
Gu Bei looked at the remaining spirits in the sea of consciousness. Some of them were still conscious and looked around curiously. Some were muttering something, but more of them had lost consciousness and became translucent.
The cause of this incident was Lu Mingfei, the mastermind behind it was Lu Mingze, and the demons were Sable and Next Generation. Logically speaking, they had nothing to do with Gu Bei.
But that cannot be said. 50,000 of the 200,000 victims were killed, and Gu Bei was at least 5% responsible.
So he wanted to do something to make up for it.
The victims always have unfulfilled wishes. Gu Bei plans to use a year to help the remaining souls fulfill their wishes. In the process, he mentions (this chapter is not finished yet!)

Improve the compatibility between you and the spirit, improve your proficiency in the magic of summoning the gods, and try to unlock the full version of the spirit-binding general.
Kill three birds with one stone.
"So, you plan to hand over all the company's affairs to me within this year?"
He was connected to the office everywhere, and Hua Yishu looked at Gu Bei with dull eyes. Gu Bei was obviously the boss, but the acting boss saw that he was very stressed. He moved his Adam's apple up and down and nodded reluctantly.
But to Gu Bei's expectation, Hua Yishi did not get angry, but nodded calmly: "No problem, you go ahead."
Gu Bei's eyes were strange: "Sister Hua, are you...sick?"
Hua Yishu put down the document in his hand and rolled his eyes: "It's not that I'm sick, it's that I have seen through it. Even if I don't agree, you will find a way to do what you want to do. Instead of focusing on you, I might as well work on a few more files.”
Gu Bei extended his thumb: "Sister Hua is wise."
"but!"
Hua Yishu's eyes shot towards him like knives: "Take care of what needs to be done before you leave."
Gu Bei knew that Hua Yishi was talking about the package sent by Old Tang, Chu Zihang and Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei. He nodded: "It should be."
"Also, you only have one year. If you haven't come back after one year, then just give me the position of director."
Gu Bei nodded repeatedly: "No problem."
But he was already thinking about whether to come back later.
Pass the position down and then mess it up openly?
Seems like a good idea.
But let’s wait until a year later to talk about that kind of thing.
