Chapter 643 Bai Ze’s Gift
No.
Bai Ze's voice was cold and soft, as if it was independent of this chaotic world.
I know everything, but I can't do anything about it.
"You should have died under my sword long ago. This world doesn't need a second law."
But now, Yuan, you can't trap him in this false future.
Li Muhan felt a force supporting his body, and then slowly moved upwards towards the broken blood moon.
Listen to me, kid.
It's not that you don't have a past.
You are not without the present.
You are by no means powerless to change the future.
"Beast, you trapped me once before with the Eternal Bedrock, but this time, you are helpless."
Yuan's voice came from below, but she didn't seem to intend to stop this force from pushing Li Muhan's body.
Look, your past.
Then Li Muhan saw the children whispering under the opera house, and he was not standing in the spotlight because he was just a substitute.
But now, the children turned their heads, looked at Li Muhan, smiled, pulled him to the center of the spotlight, and circled around him hand in hand.
"We gave you the most important thing."
The boys put their hands on Li Muhan's body.
"So where are you going?"
Li Muhan asked with some fear. Although he could only watch them playing in a dark corner, he didn't want the children to leave.
Because each of them is themselves, each of them is Li Muhan.
"We are leaving~ to the world where there is no pain~"
"But what should I do alone... I, I don't want to go through all that pain, those experiments, that torture... Can you take me with you..."
The children all stepped back, and then Li Muhan saw him, the boy who had given everything to him.
"Mom said that there is only happiness in that world, no pain, but only good children can go there, and you are not a good child."
"I, I am... I am very good. I have always been in the corner. I didn't do anything..."
"You have to be a good kid to come to us."
The boy held out his hand.
"Make a promise. When you become a good child, we will come to pick you up and go to the world that your mother has described."
"I don't want to... I don't want to, no, I want to go with you, I want my mother too..."
"Mom doesn't want to see you now~ You are a bad boy~"
"Bad boy~"
I'm a bad boy...
But only bad kids can go the other way.
Bai Ze's voice sounded in his ears.
[She's lying to you! Go with them! Go find your mom! Mom's waiting for you!]
Yuan's voice also sounded in his ears.
[You are going to die again, Li Muhan]
Loki's voice...
[Nice to meet you, dear detective. Or should I have said, long time no see~]
Moriarty, Mu Ya's voice.
"It's time for us to go. This body and this name are all yours from now on. You must be a good child. Pinky promise..."
Li Muhan cried and made pinky promises with the boys one by one, and then watched their spotlights disappear one by one, until only she was left.
[Look, you listened to that beast, and ended up being abandoned. How ridiculous.]
No one has abandoned you, child, your past has already appeared, now, look up and see your present.
Li Muhan stopped crying and looked up. In front of him was a broken blood moon, which represented his beloved.
[Dead, she’s dead, hahahahahaha]
Whether she survives or not, child, is up to you to decide.
Li Muhan slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the fragment of the blood moon.
[Alas, I can give you a quick death, Li Muhan, why do you have to continue struggling? ]
Because he should struggle.
[No, he should stop here and go to sleep.]
The time has not come yet.
【The time has long come.】
"Shut up!"
Li Muhan was angry. He didn't want these people to keep arguing in his head, buzzing like flies.
"What do you think of me?! You idiot! You like to tell people how to do things, don't you?! I've been lectured so many times! In elementary school, middle school, high school, and even in college, that bald guy was still lecturing me! It's still the same after I joined the Special Management Bureau! A passing dog would bark at me! But these people are all my past! None of these people! Have ever given up on me!"
Li Muhan's hand suddenly stretched out towards the blood moon above his head.
"I've had enough. If you guys want to play, go play by yourselves! I just want to... catch..."
At this moment, a slender, tender white hand stretched out from the blood moon.
"I just want to catch her, because from the beginning, she is the only one I want to protect!!"
Li Muhan suddenly grabbed the cold little hand, and then the whole world began to tremble, and all time was going back.
"I'm not that great!! I can't save everyone! I'm not a hero!! I don't owe anyone anything! No one can define me! It doesn't matter if I'm a fucking human or not! I just want to hold this hand!!!"
...You've got it, kid, and no one can stop you, so now... go back.
You can't leave
Yuan's voice suddenly became extremely cold.
You can't go anywhere
He can go anywhere.
【Beast...I will kill you.】
I would have died a long time ago...Yuan, but thank you for giving me a...quick death.
Li Muhan turned around suddenly and saw the huge white lion with antlers also looking up at him.
We have never met, but I can see your future.
Yuan's knife slowly raised up and she stood beside the white lion.
[Your time has come long ago, beast, you can't hide from me this time]
I can see your future, it's bright, so go ahead, kid, and may you never have to suffer again in this life.
The moment the sword flashed, Li Muhan's consciousness was also shocked by the light.
After a burst of tinnitus, Li Muhan felt someone holding his hand tightly.
The voice of calling also came from my ears.
"Answer me! Are you stupid? I'm sorry! I won't hit you again! I won't hit you again! I won't suck your blood anymore!! I'm sorry! Don't be an idiot!"
Li Muhan slowly opened his eyes and found himself standing on the top of a mountain. In front of him was the dilapidated temple where Yuan was.
Xia Yue was holding her hands tightly, and Hati, Suzaku, and Fenyuan were also looking at her.
He had never entered the dilapidated temple in the wind and snow, and everything happened at the moment he stepped onto the top of the mountain after the second trial ended.
All are false.
“Li Muhan…” Xia Yue looked at Li Muhan with tears in her eyes: “I’m sorry… I didn’t know, I didn’t know you would really be beaten into an idiot, I’m sorry… I’m sorry… Even if you become an idiot, I will still marry you… I… Eh…?”
Xia Yue's sobbing words were interrupted halfway. Li Muhan half-knelt on the ground and hugged the girl's petite body tightly in his arms.
"Thank you......."
“......?”
Xia Yue was stunned. Hasn't this... become an idiot?
"Thank you for protecting me with your body until the very end. Even if you were broken into pieces, your moonlight kept me warm... Thank you, my little moon... I love you."
“.......”
Xia Yue was stunned at first, and then cried even harder. She did not hug Li Muhan, but turned to look at Hati with tears in her eyes.
"What should I do? What should I do? I've become stupid! I've become stupid! I've become mentally retarded! What should I do?"
Hati covered his mouth and wanted to laugh, but felt that it was not appropriate to laugh in this situation.
Although he didn't know what happened, he must have experienced something during the ten minutes that Li Muhan was in a daze.
Zhuque pinched his chin, lost in thought, and after a while he said, "Kid, did you see something just now?"
Li Muhan said nothing, but just hugged Xia Yue tightly. He wanted to slow down... The future he saw was too hopeless.
To others, he seemed really stupid.
"I guess there's something wrong with his brain. Now he's turned into a giant baby."
Fen Yuan pushed up his glasses and analyzed.
And at this moment, the small figure beside Fen Yuan fell to the ground on the snow with a thud.
Everyone quickly looked at Bai Qing.
I saw Bai Qingyang lying on the ground, his eyes were cloudy and his breathing was weak.
Seeing this, Li Muhan rushed over and gently held Bai Qing in his arms.
"Ugh! He's stupid! He can't even recognize me! I'm here! Idiot!"
Xia Yue chased after him and hugged Li Muhan from behind.
Li Muhan ignored Xia Yue for the moment. He looked at Bai Qing, whose eyes were distracted, and said softly, "Sir Bai Ze...is that you?"
Zhuque also quickly squatted down. She touched Bai Qing's head, then touched her chest, then frowned and looked at Li Muhan.
"Since you already know that she is the incarnation of Bai Ze, then you did experience something just now, right kid."
“…” Li Muhan nodded.
"......You..." Bai Qing turned his head with all his strength and looked at Li Muhan.
"I'm back"
"Master Bai Ze...thank you for saving me..."
Li Muhan could tell from Zhuque's expression that Bai Ze was probably beyond saving.
"...Don't...give up...child...The past is indeed...hard to look back on, but...you can't abandon it...and you have something...that makes the past no longer affect you...Think about it...Li Muhan...think about the things you have gained...along the way..."
Li Muhan held Bai Qing's little hand tightly, and at this moment Xia Yue also realized that something was wrong.
But her brain worked slowly, and she had just reached the stage where "Li Muhan didn't seem to have become mentally retarded."
"I know... Lord Bai Ze, I know, I understand..."
Li Muhan's voice was very gentle after he knew that Li Muhan understood what he meant.
Bai Qing's eyes flickered, and then he forced a slight smile.
"...Yuan wanted you to be trapped in the abyss of time forever, but what saved you was your past... and... your present... And now, child... go... show her your... future..."
After saying this, Bai Qing's hand slid down weakly, as if all her strength and hope were lost along with it.
There was a sad serenity on her face, and a dying light flickered in her eyes.
In this silent moment, a ray of light blue light slowly rose from the girl's chest, like the last trace of warmth in her soul, appearing particularly fragile in the cold wind and snow.
The light swayed in the wind, gradually rising, interweaving with the snowflakes in the sky, and finally transformed into the shadow of a majestic white lion with deer horns.
The shadow appeared solemn and sacred, standing proudly on the top of the snow-capped mountain. Its eyes were like ancient lighthouses, penetrating the wind and snow and illuminating the blurry road ahead.
Then it let out a long cry.
The sound is not harsh, but rather carries a deep and tragic feeling, like the sound of flowing water in the mountains, touching the heart.
This voice seemed to be Bai Qing's last gift and farewell to this world, using up all his life strength.
At that moment, the wind and snow stopped, and the mountains seemed to understand the meaning of the cry.
All things wake up quietly, bringing comfort to the sad lives.
New branches break through the soil, the sound of the stream becomes clearer, the grass spreads a lush green, and the flowers bloom, as if celebrating the continuation of life.
Everything has returned to its original appearance.
thump--
Shan Gao knelt on the ground.
"Is it over, Master Bai Ze... After all these years, can I finally come find you... Can I finally stop being trapped here..."
The man's face was covered with tear marks. He looked up at the gradually brightening sky, as if looking for Bai Qing's figure, his voice choked with sobs.
"Shan Gao...I'll accompany you on the journey."
After that, the man never stood up again. His body gradually stiffened and turned into a stone statue, sitting quietly in the sea of blooming flowers.
A tear rolled down Bai Qing's eye, slid down onto the snow, and merged with the last snowflakes, but there was a smile of relief on her face.
In the last moment of her life, she once again left all her love and light to the world, just as she had done before.
