Zhong Xu is dead.
Violet was still frantically using the chainsaw as an axe. The broken ice chips on the ground did not dissolve Violet's seven hundred years of resentment, nor did they dispel some of the complex emotions beyond resentment.
Sometimes she laughed, sometimes she cursed. Although the style of the little girl holding the chainsaw was very strange.
However, as the most powerful and evil aura dissipated, everyone slowly began to think about what to do next.
Lin Rui was very concerned about one thing. If he was summoned by his predecessor because of a karmic relationship with him, then why did he return to the same place several times and meet those two evil creatures
After Zhong Xu's death, he gradually had time and began to ponder the strangeness inside. He looked at Nie Chongshan.
Nie Chongshan was cursing inwardly with disdain: "Trash who can only summon clones."
Liu Mu knew the reason why he cursed in secret instead of openly. Nie Chongshan liked to call others trash, but he thought he was no match for Zhong Xu if he fought alone.
There is no doubt about Zhong Xu's strength. The masters of the third generation Survey Corps gathered here. Although they briefly restrained Zhong Xu, in the end, if Chen Shuyue had not consumed most of Zhong Xu's physical strength, the battle would at least not have ended so quickly.
Liu Mu knew that the traveler’s personality would not allow him to stay here for too long, and now he also understood some of the traveler’s thoughts.
Now that the battle was over, he felt that the separation was near.
He looked at Wujiu:
"Your form won't always be like this, right?"
Wujiu just shook his head.
Unlike Liu Mu, Wujiu did not think that they were about to part. He always felt that today's reunion was just the beginning of something.
He really wanted to chat with Liu Mu about recent developments, but at the moment, Wujiu was more concerned about the words "Survey Corps, charge."
The huge nine-headed snake drove twenty-four iron cavalry, issuing a blood-boiling shout. It was a very strange feeling. Wujiu looked at Gu Hailin, who had already become a nine-headed snake, and a sense of fate emerged.
He still didn't know what kind of hero he had become in Bai Wu's lie.
The twenty-four iron cavalry did not return to Gu Hailin's snake scales.
The end of the battle was not the real end for them. In the eyes of Gu Hailin and the elite soldiers of the coalition forces ninety years ago, the significance of this reunion was far more than just a rescue.
They came here with greater goals.
He had been planning to ask who Gu Qingyu was and the truth about the shelter, but when he saw something unexpected happening again, Gu Hailin stopped.
He is in no rush.
As for the shelter, Bai Wu actually has a solution.
As early as when everyone gathered, Bai Wu was sure that Zhong Xu would not be able to escape today. He had already begun to think about the following four questions.
first question.
Zhong Xu wanted to run to the Food Domain, which was connected to the Color Domain, but Zhong Xu had already turned into the Evil Depravity... Does this mean that the Doomsday Fragments here have been collected? Has the regional restrictions been lifted
No fragments dropped when Zhong Xu died, so where are the fragments
second question.
The strength displayed by Lin Rui seems to be no less than that of Zhong Xu in human form. What on earth did he go through to become what he is today from an ordinary human boy
Why, even though his companion force was so strong, he had one of his ears cut off
He wanted to understand Lin Rui's past better.
Because Bai Wu always feels that everyone who is related to this mask, the first generation of masked monsters, and Lin Rui, the new masked monster...
It seems that they can all solve certain mysteries about this world for themselves.
The third question.
It was about the Survey Corps. Bai Wu knew the purpose of Gu Hailin and the others coming to rescue him. He had told a white lie in order to make Gu Hailin and the others smile in their grave.
Who would have thought that this group of people were so obsessed with the refuge that they were willing to turn into evil and wait for ninety years.
Just like when he faced Jiang Yimi, he was willing to take responsibility for the lies he had told, and he had already figured out how to give an explanation to this group of people.
Bai Wu's luck was much better than he thought. If he was willing to think more carefully... he would find that although this battle was difficult, it was also unusually smooth.
The fourth question is about Liu Chengzi’s two friends.
For now, this problem should be solved first.
Because after killing Zhong Xu, Shen Shuyue felt that it was meaningless:
"I'm going back. Tell me, what should I do?"
"The mask is the door. You came in through the door, so you have to leave through the door. But are you sure you want to leave now?"
Bai Wu pointed at Qu Li next to Chen Shuyue.
The fourth question is the relationship between Chen Shuyue and Qu Li. Chen Shuyue’s reaction is not what he expected, and he needs to figure out the reason.
But Bai Wu ignored the fifth question.
After the battle, the barrier of resentment created by Hong Yin was never removed, so she stayed by Bai Wu's side, enjoying the brief reunion.
Jiang Yimi originally wanted to get closer to the uncle, but was unable to because of the barrier. She felt that the barrier was a bit annoying, but the little girl did protect the uncle, so she couldn't say anything. Well, it was hard to say for now.
Yin Shuang and Shang Xiaoyi also arrived at the scene at this time.
As one of the four most important people in this operation, Yin Shuang did not recognize the captain's evil form at first. Looking at the two girls beside Bai Wu, she showed a slightly puzzled look.
Because the two girls were looking at the white fog, Yin Shuang, who was always observant, noticed that there was something wrong with the two girls' looks.
But she didn't have time to ask more questions because Lin Wurou and Wang Shi needed medical treatment.
Following the direction pointed by the white mist, Chen Shuyue glanced in that direction. Qu Li looked at Chen Shuyue with red eyes.
"Who is she?" Chen Shuyue looked at Bai Wu with some dissatisfaction, feeling that the other party was wasting his time.
Qu Li thought about the scene of herself meeting her friends again, even though an hour ago, she thought that scene would not happen...
The little moon is still so beautiful. More than three years have passed, and she is still as radiant as before.
"Little Moon, I'm Chestnut."
As Qu Li spoke, he changed his form and became what he used to be as a human.
Chen Shuyue looked at Qu Li for a long time, and finally the expression on his face changed from slight dissatisfaction to a mocking smile:
"I remember now, my good sister Chestnut."
Although Shen Shuyue's tone and words were obviously wrong, Li Zi was still very excited:
"I didn't expect... to see you again in this place. I've been worried about you since you left."
"Really? I'm so happy. Now that you've seen me, I'm going back now. Bye~"
Waving at Qu Li, Shen Shuyue turned around without any hesitation and prepared to walk towards the white fog.
Qu Li was suddenly a little stunned. Yueyue's reaction was much colder than she expected. Her voice trembled a little:
"Little Moon... You, don't you have anything to say to me? I am Chestnut..."
"Oh, I know you are Li Zi, I don't have anything to say to you." Shen Shuyue didn't even stop.
Bai Wu frowned and looked at Chen Shuyue seriously. He didn't see any clues and the notes were still the same as before.
Li Zi was anxious. She suddenly thought of some things in the past and said in a crying voice:
"Are you blaming me? Moon... I'm sorry, I couldn't help you at that time, because I was... also in a difficult situation, imprisoned in another place. I know that you suffered much more than I did, I'm really sorry, I should have become evil earlier... maybe then I could have saved you some suffering."
Shen Shuyue stopped.
At this moment, the many evil people in the hall all had their own thoughts. She seemed to really not want to stay here, not even for a moment, and she really had no interest in what was going to happen here.
Listening to Qu Li's words, she found it quite funny:
"Why are you crying again? You make it seem like we know each other well. We just knew each other for a few years when we were still human. Bye, my little sister, don't think too much. I don't blame you for what you did at that time. Please, I don't remember it at all. I'm just innocent and think you are insignificant."
“I don’t remember…” Qu Li felt a dull pain in his chest.
"Have you forgotten? You once said that the three of us are best friends, that we will work together to make the people at the bottom wear nice clothes, and that we will never forget each other. You...how could you not remember...how could you not remember..."
"Orange hasn't forgotten you either. She's still trying to find us. I haven't forgotten you either. How could you forget us? I don't believe it!"
Qu Li looked at Chen Shuyue with tears in her eyes, but Chen Shuyue still had that indifferent expression.
She felt like she was watching a play, the people in the play were sad, but she wanted to laugh.
She was indeed laughing, as if she thought it was ridiculous and funny that Qu Li was sad about such a trivial thing.
She suddenly turned around and walked towards Li Zi, saying mockingly:
"It seems like you have some misunderstanding about me. People always change, Chestnut, Orange, or anyone else who once cared about me. The people I cared about, you guys, are all in the past. You can unilaterally treat me as a friend, it doesn't matter, my appearance seems to have always been treated like this, but I may..."
Chen Shuyue came to Qu Li, like a man teasing a woman, she leaned close to Li Zi's ear and whispered:
"I might forget about you tomorrow."
Shen Shuyue's laughter made Qu Li's eyes reveal a kind of fear. She gritted her teeth and shook her head helplessly.
She had thought about the scene of their encounter many times.
When Bai Wu mentioned that Orange was still struggling to find the truth about their disappearance, she really wanted to go back to the tower, find that silly girl, and tell her how much she loved her.
But she wanted to find the moon more because she knew what kind of pain the moon had suffered.
But now the moon has been found, but it is as indifferent as a stranger.
"Well, I am a sentimental person. There are too many people who like me. I can't remember every one of them. Goodbye, Li Zi."
Shen Shuyue moved a few fingers in a farewell gesture.
"I don't believe it... How could you be like this, Little Moon? Do you have any difficulties?"
Qu Li held Shen Shuyue's hand, she didn't want to let her old friend go.
Chen Shuyue frowned in disgust at this time:
"Whether you believe me or not is meaningless to me. Don't think you are that important to me. Memories merge and dilute time and time again. In the three years I have experienced, the memories of you that belong to Shen Shuyue have long turned into residue."
Seeing that Qu Li didn't seem to let him go easily, Shen Shuyue talked about some things in his life:
"Any power has a price, but compared to the power itself, the so-called price seems insignificant. After the split, I am a complete and independent life form. Every time I merge, my power will increase. But correspondingly, my original memory will continue to be diluted after the fusion."
"And the me that split from other people's bodies will absorb some of their memories and resentments. This means that maybe there are a lot of messy people in my heart, and some of them are more memorable than you."
"Of course, if you want to hear it, I can still tell you that you may have been very important to me in the past, so much so that I haven't completely forgotten you in the past three years. But it's meaningless. For me now, everything is just a matter of time. As for me, I only care about myself."
Shaking off Qu Li's hand, Shen Shuyue smiled again:
"You must be very depressed. What a pity you are not human. If you were human, this emotion would taste very beautiful. Maybe you would have a chance to merge with me."
Qu Li's shoulders were shaking slightly, and the chill from deep within her consciousness made her feel as if she was falling into an icy cave.
She had experienced a lot of despair in the past three years, and in order to survive, she had given herself a lot of hope. But at this moment... she felt that those hopes suddenly collapsed.
Chen Shuyue didn't care at all. She came to Hong Yin's resentment barrier and said:
"If you stop me, I will confess my feelings to your good brother. I may be more useful to him than you are to him."
This sentence suddenly reminded Bai Wu of the fifth question he had overlooked, but it seemed a little late.
At this moment, Hong Yin's resentment became even stronger... But after a short moment, the little girl seemed to have figured something out, and finally let go of her resentment.
Chen Shuyue came in front of Bai Wu. She said nothing and even put her hand on the mask in a hurry.
A swirling shadow opens.
Before leaving, Bai Wu looked at Shen Shuyue and said something strange:
"See you again if we are lucky."
Chen Shuyue did not respond to the white mist and stepped into the shadow.
Qu Li was standing not far away in a daze, feeling as if he had lost something extremely important and precious.
Chen Shuyue was very cool, coming and leaving quickly. After dealing with Zhong Xu, it seemed that this place no longer had any interest for her, even the once important bond.
…
…
Outside the tower, the unknown museum.
In the museum that displayed many strange objects, there was a sound of irregular footsteps, as if someone was walking in a daze.
A woman whose arms and half of her face were transparent, did not turn around after hearing the footsteps, but just said indifferently:
"I'm back, pretty quick."
"Yeah... I'm back."
"Are there any regrets?"
"No more. Although I didn't see Orange, I could hear some things from Chestnut. They... are so stupid."
The person who was talking to the mysterious woman was Shen Shuyue who had returned in a hurry.
At this moment, Shen Shuyue no longer looked like the vicious woman she was just now. The reason why she came back in a hurry was because some of her inner emotions could no longer be suppressed.
Listening to the sound of tears falling in the silent space, the woman sighed softly:
"It seems there are still regrets. It doesn't matter, I have seen that future, and you will meet again. But at least for now, we can't let them come looking for you. What we are going to do is very dangerous."
"Really?"
Chen Shuyue raised his head, no longer looking as calm and composed as before.
"Come on, you still have a lot to do as my guardian. Moon, I don't have much time."
The woman did not answer Shen Shuyue's question, but at this moment, Shen Shuyue knew that she was not lying to him.
Because after the woman finished speaking, the nail of her index finger became transparent, and she was obviously peeping into the cause and effect again, just like before.
Regardless of whether the future the woman saw was consistent with what she said, this action moved Shen Shuyue.
Over the past three years, Shen Shuyue's memories have indeed experienced countless fusions. Those evils that devoured her flesh and blood, those bodies that she had cut apart, each time indeed washed away her memories time and time again.
The memories of the past in her heart became increasingly scarce. The countless memories of "Chen Shuyue" formed a complex maze.
But there was one thing she deceived Li Zi about.
She never forgot Chestnut and Orange, no matter how many times they were diluted, no matter how many people's memories were integrated, no matter how complicated the maze of memory was... those two girls were like signposts in the depths of her soul, redeeming her time and time again.
The increasingly complex maze made her lost and confused again and again, but it was always because of the memories of those two girls that she recognized who she was again and again.
Qu Li and Liu Chengzi have long become an indispensable part of her life. They are a mark that cannot be washed away no matter how many times her memories are washed away.
In her heart, she always misses her two good friends.
It's just that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. This most beautiful woman, when the white fog appeared, already knew what might happen next. So she was just acting.
In fact, there is no cause and effect between Bai Wu and Chen Shuyue.
The one with cause and effect is the woman behind Shen Shuyue. It's just that the power of the mask cannot bear that woman.
So she chose Shen Shuyue to help Bai Wu on her behalf.
On the way to the depths of the museum, Shen Shuyue still couldn't seem to forget the sight of Li Zi. At this time, the woman in front of him also stopped:
"I can understand your feelings. I also want to see my brother, but he is still not awake. Before we find a way to make him sober, we can't have too many causal relationships with other people."
"Because the future...is not set in stone."
