Chapter 143 This is not the way you smoke. Do you need me to teach you?
[The floating island is about to collapse. Players, please leave this floating island in time through the light column in the center of the island. ]
The cold system prompt sounded, and a huge beam of light rose from the center of the floating island, as if reaching straight into the sky.
Under the moonlight, everyone on the island turned their heads and stared blankly at the beam of light. Their minds were blank, with only three very simple words left - it's over.
This nightmare is finally over.
Some people cried, some laughed, and some yelled. Everyone's reactions were different. As for the calmest ones, they were none other than the four sequence players.
Anson Deer's limbs were weak, so he sat on the ground. After resting for a while, he slowly moved his head and looked at the other side of the island with tired eyes.
Just now, a group of players there were chopped into a bloody mist by the scythe of the Ten Thousand Riders Statue. The ground was pitch black, as if someone had poured black paint on it, but it was not paint, but the blood of their compatriots.
Soon, Yuliu walked slowly towards them, his black windbreaker fluttering in the wind. He glanced at Anson Deer and stretched out his right hand.
Anson Lu took his hand wordlessly and stood up.
He dusted himself off and asked casually, "Julius, how many people died in total?"
"Forty-five, just counted." Yuliu took out a cigarette box and a lighter from his windbreaker pocket.
Anson Lu was stunned for a moment. "There are more than forty of them, more than I thought..."
"Do you want to smoke?" Yuliu handed Anson Lu a cigarette and asked in a flat voice.
Anson Lu hesitated for half a second, then took a cigarette and said, "Try it. The principal likes smoking."
"...Principal, that 'future you'?" Yuliu glanced at him.
"right."
Yuliu sneered and took the cigarette back from Anson Lu, "Then you'd better not smoke it, or the world will be destroyed again."
"Not really. It's not like if I do like him, the world will end." Anson Lu took back the cigarette, held it in his mouth, and said with an unhappy face: "Help me light it up. It's my first time smoking, so I don't know how to do it."
Yuliu moved the lighter over, pressed the switch, and the flames rose up, lighting the cigarette in Anson Lu's mouth.
“Cough… cough cough…”
Anson Lu tilted his head back, his jet-black hair covering his eyes. He suppressed the discomfort and took a deep puff of smoke without even exhaling the mist.
Yuliu couldn't help but sneered and said sarcastically:
"If you... don't know how to smoke, then don't smoke. If you are the world's number one smoker, people will laugh at you if you get the news."
He stretched out his right hand and tried to take the cigarette back from Anson Deer's mouth.
Anson Lu bit the cigarette tightly, like a lone wolf biting its food, and the moonlight illuminated his profile.
A line of tears flowed unconsciously from the corners of his eyes.
...crying?
Yuliu was stunned for a moment.
He never thought that the person in front of him would cry. From the time he met Anson Lu until now, Anson Lu was really too rational and strong. The only one or two times he was emotional were because of the person called the principal.
"Cough... cough cough..." Anson Lu choked and spat out the cigarette, muttering in a hoarse voice: "I'm choking to death, you old man, what's so good about smoking this cigarette?"
Yuliu was silent for a long time, then took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and handed it to him: "This is not the way to smoke cigarettes. Do you want me to teach you?"
"No." Anson Lu put his hands in his pockets, coughed twice, and said in a low voice, "I... want to be a different person from the principal."
"You have already become different people."
"I want to cherish my friends. This is the first time I have real friends. Yuri, Teacher Chu, Crying Dragon, Crow, they are all very important friends of mine." Anson Lu whispered, "You too."
"I am a person who lives in the underworld and cannot stand hearing such hypocritical words." Yuliu put the cigarette in his mouth and said calmly: "However, you are indeed qualified to be my friend."
"I've been thinking before..." After a pause, Anson Lu said, "If the principal wants me to be a person who cherishes friends, and I become one, then wouldn't I be like a puppet at the mercy of others?"
“…”
"But now that I think about it, it doesn't really matter."
"Why?" Yuliu asked casually.
"I know that I care about them from the bottom of my heart, even though I was reluctant to admit it before, but it is true."
"That's good..." Yuliu lit the cigarette with a lighter, and the mist lingered around his fingertips.
"I will defeat the white dragon in order to save my friends." Anson Deer shrugged and said, "Also, I don't want to end up like that old man and die alone."
"Hmm." Yuliu took a puff of his cigarette.
"Anyway, I will be back in twelve hours. It's dangerous to go up the stone without the protection of the principal. I don't know if someone from the Chinese government will contact me later. It makes me feel dizzy just thinking about it."
"Although I won't be at Shangshi often, after all, there is a mafia in Mexico waiting for me to take care of. However, if you have any trouble, just come to me and I will be there the first time." Yuliu puffed out smoke and said calmly.
However, Julius didn't think anything would happen.
After all, Anson Deer is the undisputed number one in the world. Unless all the sequence players in the top 100 of the rankings are recruited, it is still a question whether they can pose a threat to Anson Deer.
"Okay." Anson Lu looked at Yuliu and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go drink?"
"You can't even smoke, and you drink?"
"The old man said in the text message that he had stored a few bottles of wine in the principal's office. He said he didn't have a chance to drink it, so I should try it when I have a chance." After a pause, Anson Lu gritted his teeth and said:
"Damn it, he even tasted it and drank it all."
Yuliu smiled and said unhappily: "Okay, then take me with you. If you can't drink all the wine, I'll come."
"Oh?" Kamishiro Ruri suddenly leaned closer, the sleeves of her kimono swaying in the moonlight. "Hehe, I seem to hear you two talking about something interesting. Are you interested in sharing it?"
Anson Lu looked at her with disdain: "We're going to Ginza to drink and eat sushi later, do you want to come?"
"You guys are so secretive, is this all you're discussing?"
"That's it."
Kamishiro Ruri put her hands behind her back and raised the corners of her mouth: "Come on, it would be disrespectful not to come to the invitation of the world's number one."
"Where is that little brat?" Anson Deer turned his head and looked at Cosimo in the distance.
Kamishiro Ruri was silent for a second, then said calmly, "The kid was a little disappointed. He said that if he had been more focused, those players wouldn't have died. No matter how much we tried to persuade him, it wouldn't work."
“That’s childish,” said Yuliu.
"This is not childish, it's a quality that you adults don't possess." Kamishiro Ruri covered her mouth with a fan and said softly.
"No matter what..." Anson Lu took a breath of air and looked up at the clear night sky, "Let's go have a drink together. Oh, and remember to invite Uncle Yu Mingdao to join us."
Please give me a monthly ticket.
