Qin Yao's eyes fell on the scar the size of a sword on Gu Yan's chest. It was as if a basin of ice water was poured from the top of his head, cooling down his blood instantly.
His movements were stiff and motionless, his eyes seemed to burn through Gu Yan's chest, trying to see him through.
Scenes of memories kept flashing in his mind like a fast-moving movie.
On that rainy night, the battle with the ferocious cold-blooded monster outside the resort—that battle was also the only one in a hundred years that forced him to use his natal spiritual weapon. His sword is an innate spiritual tool, which has been cultivated for thousands of years. It has already entered the category of fairy weapon. The pure golden spirit is the nemesis of demonic energy. No monster can eliminate the wound caused by his sword. In fact, it was a surprise to him that the monster survived.
And what if that monster not only survived... but also alive and well, right in front of him
Qin Yao's eyes were dull, as if he had temporarily lost the ability to think due to excessive shock.
That night, Gu Yan and his crew happened to live in the villa.
That monster was exactly the same height and shape as Gu Yan.
And again and again misunderstandings and coincidences...
Qin Yao has no way to deceive himself again, this time is also a coincidence.
There is no doubt that the man in front of him is an extremely ferocious high-level monster, and his threat is several times higher than any monster he has encountered before. I am so close to him at this moment, this distance is very dangerous, even if it is him, it is difficult to completely avoid Gu Yan's attacks under such circumstances.
Qin Yao knew that he had to make a decision, but he wanted to delay...
He probably knew that as long as he let go of the person in front of him now, he would be completely lost, and the illusion in front of him would be broken like glass, and he would never go back.
When he realized this, it seemed that something had been hollowed out in his heart.
However, if you continue to deceive yourself and others... the result will not change in any way.
Qin Yao closed his eyes and opened them again, no emotion could be seen in his indifferent eyes, just like a long time ago.
He slowly stood up straight and took a step back.
This is a monster.
He was just cheating him, using him.
This person is not the real Gu Yan, he just occupied the original Gu Yan's body and used his human body to confuse his monsters, everything is fake.
For example, that night, he could have easily killed the low-level monster, but pretended to save the woman and hurt himself.
For example, his appearance in the shopping mall was not a coincidence at all. He went to see Zhou Yu, because they knew each other from the beginning, and he might even be Zhou Yu's owner.
Another example is now, it is impossible for Wang Duo to force him, he can only come here voluntarily.
This monster is more cunning and terrifying than any one Qin Yao has seen before. Possessing powerful force and a forbearing mind, he quietly lurks in the human world, turning everyone around - including himself.
Qin Yao knew that he should be very angry, he was deceived.
But at this moment, he didn't feel much anger in his heart. It was probably because the indescribable sadness spread too fast, so that he couldn't spare any extra emotion to feel angry about this deception.
The feeling of emptiness, even the anger was taken away.
Gu Yan looked at Qin Yao in surprise at first, not knowing what happened to Qin Yao, he seemed a little unresponsive. Then he looked down at himself and saw the scar on his chest, and suddenly he was relieved, showing his original expression.
Qin Yao looked at Gu Yan's expression, and the last extravagant hope in his heart was ruthlessly shattered.
Gu Yan knew everything.
He was always the only one who knew nothing.
"I was discovered by you." Gu Yan tilted his head and smiled softly. What happened just now was so sudden that he didn't think of it at all, and he was discovered before he could cover it up.
He admitted that he was careless this time, so that he had to have a showdown with Qin Yao now.
Qin Yao looked at him fixedly, took a deep breath, and said word by word: "Why don't you deny it."
"Denial?" Gu Yan tugged at the collar, pinched the buttons with his slender fingers, and buttoned the jacket slowly, "If I deny it, you will believe me? You're not that stupid, are you?"
Qin Yao was stunned, and the corners of his mouth gradually showed a self-deprecating arc.
This is Gu Yan's original appearance, isn't it? All fragility and kindness are pretense, and arrogance and ruthlessness are his essence. Once the truth is exposed, he is not even willing to lie to him.
"I didn't want to be discovered by you now, but since you have already discovered..." Gu Yan looked up at Qin Yao and smiled faintly, "Are you going to kill me now?"
Qin Yao pursed his lips tightly, his expression was cold and pale, and he clenched the hand hanging by his side tightly, as if he was suppressing and struggling for something.
Gu Yan stared at Qin Yao with a smile on his lips. Qin Yao didn't kill him right from the start, which means he hesitated. And Qin Yao's hesitation is his opportunity. If he fights against Qin Yao without preparation, he doesn't have much chance of winning - now is not a good time to do it.
Gu Yan stood up slowly, looking at Qin Yao's eyes.
"You once said that you will not let any monster go. In fact, a long time ago, I thought that today will come... But, I didn't expect it to come so soon." Gu Yan smiled softly and closed his eyes little by little. Eyes, "You kill me."
Qin Yao's expression was shocked.
"I am very happy to be able to come to the world. I saw many different people and different scenery. The world and the demon world are not the same at all. There is nothing in the demon world, only desolation and killing. In order to survive, you can only kill other people. There is no peace for monsters. It’s not like here..." Gu Yan's tone seemed to have deep emotion and nostalgia, but also some kind of relief and relief. The two contradictions merged together, "During my time in the world , learned a lot about human beings, I admire human beings, although they are weak, they have rich emotions and imagination. They live so well."
"Later I figured it out, how could such a good world be willing to destroy it... Now that I have seen the most beautiful scenery, even if I die now, I have no regrets."
"I'm just a monster after all. How can I hope to become a human being? Even I can't guarantee whether I can go on like this forever, whether I can always live so cautiously, whether one day I can't help but kill, will I — ruined all that I now envy and care about jealousy. I would be afraid... "
"So, you kill me."
Gu Yan kept his eyes closed all the time, and he raised his head slightly, revealing his fair and beautiful neck, with a posture of slaying his neck, with a desperate and desolate beauty like a sacrifice.
This scene hurt Qin Yao's eyes, and he couldn't help taking a step back.
Facing Gu Yan, he always seems to be retreating in embarrassment.
Qin Yao's heart was shaken for the first time. He knew from a long time ago that monsters are cold-blooded and ruthless, they are not worthy of redemption, they must be killed, the nature of monsters will not be changed by anyone or anything, monsters are not people, they are just evil things That's all. Since ancient times, people who tried to influence monsters have paid the price for their stupidity with their lives.
But now he was suddenly not sure.
If what Gu Yan said is true, if... monsters can also become better, why can't I give Gu Yan a chance? Where is he wrong, he just wants to live in this world.
If he insists on going his own way regardless of right and wrong, what is the difference between such a him and those he hates
Gu Yan seemed to be unaware of Qin Yao's wavering, he suddenly raised his foot and took a step forward.
"Monsters are heartless and ruthless. They only know how to kill since they were born. We can't kill ourselves, we can only kill others. This is repeated... I don't know why I live and why I die."
"I'm a bit tired. Don't want to go on like this..."
"Can you help me?"
The smile on Gu Yan's lips was calm and quiet, as if he was waiting for some kind of relief.
Qin Yao's hands clenched into fists, trembling slightly, suddenly, the next moment, he turned and left.
His footsteps were hurried and messy, as if fleeing from the desert.
He went to the street, people came and went, and the noise poured into his ears, finally saved him from the suffocating predicament.
Obviously he was the one who was deceived, and he should have done his best to get rid of the demons, but he was forced out with a few words like a bereaved dog. No - it shouldn't be like this.
But what should it look like? Do you want to attack Gu Yan
Kill him and free him
When Gu Yan opened his eyes, Qin Yao had disappeared.
He comes and goes like the wind.
Qin Yao still left without doing anything.
But Gu Yan didn't show a happy expression, instead his expression was dignified. He pretended not to care just now, but his nerves were tense, and he was always on guard against Qin Yao's attack! Although in the end Qin Yao was forced to leave when he was in a state of uncertainty, it doesn't mean that Qin Yao would not figure it out afterwards.
Gu Yan didn't think the matter was solved so easily.
He picked up the mobile phone on the ground and made a call to Tongtong.
"How are your preparations going?"
"okay."
Gu Yan hung up the phone and called Xu Ming again. The content was concise and to the point: "Don't worry about anything, just book me the nearest flight back to Haiyun City."
Qin Yao walked to his manor on the outskirts of the city step by step, every step seemed to be as heavy as a thousand catties.
He unknowingly walked to the lake in the middle of the manor.
The lake shone in the night, reflecting Qin Yao's face. He stared at the lake in a daze, with a look of pain and struggle flashing in his eyes, but also nostalgia and anxiety, like a child in a daze.
After a long while, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and walked around the lake for a full circle.
When he stopped, a vortex suddenly appeared in the middle of the lake, revealing a long stone ladder, which sank directly into the ground.
Qin Yao watched intently.
After a full quarter of an hour, he slowly walked down.
