"Eighty-one years, four months and three days."
Lao Tian's tone was solemn. Standing there, a chill naturally emanated from his body. Even the eyes staring closely at JOKER were full of chilling looks.
"Eighty-one years, four months and three days..." JOKER's voice seemed to be sighing: "Has it really been so long? I don't even remember it that clearly."
"That's because you are not the one who was hurt." Lao Tian clenched his hands, his bones made a cracking sound, his knuckles turned white, and his face turned livid.
"Do you want to say... 'hurt'?" JOKER suddenly smiled, with a deep sense of loneliness and loneliness in his tone: "It has been so long, but the hatred in your heart still cannot be reduced? And... back then If it comes to harm, are you the only one who has been harmed?"
"But you bastard! It was you who killed Mingyue..." Lao Tian suddenly roared, clenched his fists, and stared at JOKER. He suddenly roared so loudly, but he hadn't finished speaking yet...
Snapped! !
A loud slap fell on Lao Tian’s face!
With Lao Tian's strength and ability as an S-class strongman, even though his strength has been greatly damaged due to the battle with Chen Xiao in Japan a few days ago, he is still a top-notch strongman after all.
But this JOKER hit him at will, without any warning in advance. Lao Tian received this slap on the face with almost no resistance! !
A few clear finger marks were printed on Lao Tian's cheek, but he was not too surprised. It seemed that he was not surprised that this JOKER had the ability to hit him, but there was an angry expression on his face.
"Do you still think so?" JOKER's tone became colder: "Old Tian, after all these years, you still think so? You selfish, despicable coward!!"
JOKER had already stood up. He pinched the flute in his hand into two pieces and threw it on the roof. He raised his right hand and looked at the palm print on Lao Tian's face. He took a deep breath and finally slowly put it down. Handed.
Lao Tian gently touched his cheek and suddenly smiled. There was deep bitterness and desolation in his smile. The anger in his eyes suddenly dissipated, and then he suddenly sat down, cross-legged on the tiles on the roof. Chip.
JOKER and Lao Tian looked at each other for a while, and the excitement in their eyes gradually dissipated.
"Indeed, as you said, I am a coward, a selfish coward." Lao Tian sat there, his voice full of frustration and guilt.
"You have been lying to yourself for so many years." JOKER's tone was sharp, like a sharp needle, easily piercing Lao Tian's defense: "Lao Tian, I did hurt Mingyue back then, I went crazy. I am still immersed in my sense of mission, and I am obsessed with putting all my thoughts on the so-called experiment of the future... I am indeed wrong... But how did Mingyue die? You can put all the blame on me, you can do this, you can also hate me... But... "
At this point, JOKER's voice became a little cruel: "But when no one is around in the middle of the night, when you are tortured in your heart, can you escape your own heart? Can you escape yourself? Are you happy? You know the answer in your heart! But you are afraid, you are afraid that you will be tortured crazy by guilt, so for so many years, you have desperately pinned your hatred on me to numb yourself and relieve your pain. The torture and self-blame in your own heart!”
boom!
Speaking of the last sentence, JOKER clenched his fist and punched Lao Tian in the face. Lao Tian still did not dodge this punch. He allowed the opponent to stagger him and his body tilted - not only did he not dodge, he even Neither has the strength to resist.
"When it comes to hatred, Tian, I have even more reasons to hate you!"
"..." Lao Tian's face swelled up, he raised his head and looked at JOKER. After a while, he laughed silently.
"Ten years!" JOKER's eyes were sharp: "After Mingyue left me, you stayed with her for ten years! It was ten years after she left me that she died of illness due to excessive sadness... Tian! You Ask your own heart, is her death because of me!!! Ten years! Ten years! If Mingyue really died of depression because of the emotional damage between me and her, how could she wait? Ten years! If it was because of me, she would have died long ago! Let alone you spending ten years with her!! In ten years, the harm I caused her has been gradually healed and forgotten. ! But why did she die of grief in the end? Tian, even if you dare not answer this question with your mouth, can you hide it from your heart!! Can you hide it from the torture in your heart? "
JOKER's voice gradually became louder.
Under the questioning look of the other party, Lao Tian touched the corner of his mouth and tasted a salty taste in his mouth. JOKER's punch just now had broken the corner of Lao Tian's mouth. He wiped the blood, smiled bitterly, lowered his head and closed his eyes.
"You are right, I can't escape the torture in my heart! You are right... I have always insisted on blaming you for Mingyue's death, but in fact it was me who was escaping! Only by relying on this despicable approach can I relieve my pain. The guilt and torture in my heart. In the final analysis, the debt for Mingyue's death should be placed on my head!"
boom! !
As he said this, he was punched in the face by JOKER again, this time on the right cheek. Likewise, Lao Tian did not dodge or resist.
Both cheeks were swollen. Lao Tian touched his chin and spit out blood.
"I hate you so much!" JOKER's tone became cold: "There were many times when I really wanted to kill you, you bastard! I must admit that the reason why I hate you is not just because of your stupidity and selfishness, but also because of your stupidity and selfishness. Not just because you made Mingyue die of grief...I..."
He stared at Lao Tian wordlessly. After being silent for a while, he slowly said a bitter word: "It's more because... I'm jealous of you!! The one with the surname Tian!"
Lao Tian still didn't speak.
"Mingyue once loved me and even had a daughter with me. But then she fell in love with you! I hurt her, and she was sad and depressed, but in the end she got over it. But you hurt her, But she died for you... Do you know what this means? It means... She loves you deeper than she loves me! You bastard!! I hurt her, she will be sad. But you hurt her, but she died for you Got it!"
Lao Tian was shocked and silently raised his eyelids...
"She... loves me more, deeper..."
It seems that for many years, a thought and an answer that I have been afraid to touch in my heart are suddenly forcibly placed in my mind! This is a fact that I have never dared to look directly at, but I am suddenly forced to face it...
"That's why I hate you." JOKER sneered: "Because I'm jealous! Because in Mingyue's heart, you are the one she loves more!"
Lao Tian's face turned pale and he raised his head: "Do you want to kill me? I welcome you to do it at any time."
"Ha!" JOKER laughed wildly and pointed at Lao Tian: "Kill you! Tian, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it decades ago!! But what if I kill you? It will end your pain. You are too cheap! Tian, I will wish you to live well and live a long life, no, live for hundreds more years!! So that you never dare to face the torture and guilt in your heart, This is the biggest punishment for you!"
JOKER was panting. His chest could not help but rise and fall due to the excitement. The two men looked at each other. After a long time, JOKER finally sat down. He sat next to Lao Tian. The two of them even looked at each other. Shoulders leaning against each other, looking from a distance at this time, they seemed to be two close friends. Who would have thought that they were enemies who had hated each other for nearly a hundred years
After a long time, the two men sighed almost at the same time.
"Actually... we are all ridiculous." JOKER's voice finally returned to calmness, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone: "We are all old, and clinging to the past shows that our hearts have become old. Only Only old people indulge in excessive memories."
"Don't forget, I'm hundreds of years older than you." Lao Tian said calmly.
"That's why we are so ridiculous. Two old men are arguing about who loved the woman more deeply... It has been almost a hundred years, but we are still arguing about this. Isn't it ridiculous?"
Lao Tian turned to look at JOKER and looked at it quietly for a long time: "Actually... I have always been strange. Our temperaments are very different. How could I become good friends with you back then?"
JOKER didn't say anything, but suddenly took out a wine bottle from under his black robe and handed it to Lao Tian. Lao Tian took it, unscrewed the cap and took a sip, then handed it to JOKER, who took it and took a sip.
"Will our hatred continue?"
"Yes, until one of us dies first."
…
Chen Xiao still hugged Fenghuang gently, and Fenghuang lay in Chen Xiao's arms, leaning his head on Chen Xiao's shoulder, seeming to have fallen asleep deeply. Phoenix, who had lost her powers, was just a weak girl. After a hard day's work and such an intense day, she was already exhausted and finally fell asleep in Chen Xiao's warm embrace.
Chen Xiao hugged Phoenix, not knowing what he felt in his heart, but the subtle sense of satisfaction finally diluted the other worries. In fact, he wished that this day would stay so dark forever. It was best that this night should never pass.
At this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly heard a small sound, as if some dead branch on the ground in the distance was stepped on, making a slight cracking sound.
Chen Xiao turned his head and saw the dim moonlight shining in the woods under the night.
A girl with a pretty face stood there, her eyes were clean and clear, and her innocent eyes even made people feel a little distressed.
The girl stood there quietly, looking at herself quietly.
Chen Xiao should not remember this girl's name, let alone because this girl suddenly entered his life and changed everything about him.
In fact, if Yaya hadn't been standing in front of him, he wouldn't have remembered such a person at all.
But at this moment, looking at the girl in the distance, Chen Xiao suddenly felt something in his heart...
Then he suddenly smiled, as if it was just a habitual movement, a subconscious expression, and then he smiled naturally and whispered something.
"Yaoya, why are you here?"
After saying this, Chen Xiao himself was stunned.
I... I recognize this girl? !
