Chapter 404: The Resurrection of the Black Pupa, Reunion with Family (10,000 words, please give me a monthly ticket)
On August 26, at 01:00 in the morning China time, at the old site of the old Jingmai Street District, the interior of the familiar abandoned train station.
Hei Pupa had been here many times, always for private meetings with Ke Qirui. He was currently hanging upside down from the eaves of Platform 7, a restraint strap dangling from his head to the ceiling, completely silent.
After a moment, he slowly raised his eyes and looked silently at the train demon's carriage.
"Huff, huff..."
The steam from the front of the train dissipated, and the warm orange light cast shadows on the curtains. Just by the outlines of the reflections, he could clearly tell who was in carriage 7 - Gu Qiye, Gu Zhuoan, and Su Zimai.
Ke Qirui and Su Wei are not in the train demon, and Xu Sanyan is not here either.
These three people either had to leave this place temporarily for something, or they had no intention of staying overnight on the train devil like Su Zimai and the others - this is normal, after all, not everyone is a wanted criminal.
In fact, Hei Pu didn't really want Su Wei to continue to be involved with the Salvation Society.
After all, he had heard from Ke Qirui a long time ago that Su Wei's body could no longer hold on.
The old man looked so strong, but he was just showing off in front of his grandson and granddaughter. After every fight, it was hard not to reveal his true colors. His hair turned gray, and he looked much older overnight.
After the battle with Rainbow Wing, Su Wei's physical condition had deteriorated to the point where he could hardly even fight against the members of the White Crow Brigade.
If it were the Su Wei of the past, it would be no problem for him to fight against the brigade's two disaster-level monsters alone.
So if Su Wei really planned to wade into the muddy waters of Iceland, his ending would most likely be disastrous. Even if he didn't die at the hands of the monsters of the Savior Society, his physical condition would not be able to withstand it.
Of course, if he really came, Hei Pupa would not be able to stop him - after all, the one who really had the final say in this family was Su Wei, and the Gu Zhuo case was nothing.
At this moment, Platform 7 was quiet, just like the ghost platform in the movie. Soon a lonely ghost in a ticket seller's uniform would appear and lead him to the platform of hell.
Black Pupa could hear the faint chirping of cicadas. The restraints amplified every sound he heard, making it sound like a cicada chirping right next to his ear.
He looked at the carriage quietly for a long time, listening to the conversation between the three people.
"I'm not sleepy yet. Dad and brother, can't you guys go to sleep first?" Su Zimai said unhappily in the carriage, "Are you my babysitters?"
"It's already one o'clock." Gu Zhuoan put one hand on his waist and said in a low voice.
"What's wrong with one? I usually go to bed at two or three at home." Su Zimai said calmly, "Sometimes I go to fight demons with my teacher, and it's already late at night when the mission is over. We even take the demon train to Japan together. We often stay up all night at the izakaya, eating sukiyaki and drinking soda."
The father and son's faces turned black. Gu Qiye rubbed the Tianming acupoint and exhaled, while Gu Zhuoan hugged his shoulders and sighed softly.
"What if school starts and we can't adjust our schedule?" Gu Qinye asked.
"No way! I have two super-high-ranking internationally wanted criminals at home, and you still want me to go to school?" Su Zimai said disdainfully. "I'm afraid I'll be caught and tortured by Hongyi's men in the middle of class."
"The people from Lake Hunter said that they will arrange a new identity for you later. Then they will let you go to school and find a job normally in their territory." Gu Qinye said softly.
"They are really good at making arrangements. I thought I finally didn't have to go to school anymore." Su Zimai pouted.
"We still have to go to school, and we still have to live our lives." Gu Qiye shrugged. "We can't escape forever, right?"
"Okay, stop nagging. Go and rest first." Su Zimai said, "I'll go to sleep when I'm tired. I don't need you to urge me."
Both father and son knew that Su Zimai could not be persuaded. The more they tried to persuade her, the more rebellious she became. So, they said in unison:
"Okay, Xiaomai, you should go to bed early." "Go to bed early, good night."
After saying that, Gu Qinye and Gu Zhuoan stood up from their seats one after another, walked through the long corridor while chatting, and then walked into carriage No. 9 and carriage No. 10 respectively.
Both carriages are sleeper cars.
Gu Qiye sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard and reading a book; Gu Zhuoan was hunched over, with his hands on his knees, turning his head and staring blankly at the empty corridor.
After a while, the lights in the two sleeper cars slowly dimmed.
It was getting late and both father and son had gone to bed.
Although Black Pupa could no longer see their shadows through the curtains, he could still use the senses of the restraints to clearly sense their conditions and even understand the expressions on their faces.
So at this moment, the only car with the lights on on was Car No. 7. Su Zimai hadn't gone to bed yet. She was sitting alone on the seat, staring at her phone with her head down.
Hei Pupa waited quietly for Gu Qiye and Gu Zhuoan to fall asleep, then he stretched out his right hand, peeled off a piece of restraint on his hand, and took out a spare mobile phone from it.
He opened the address book.
To avoid Hong Yi's pursuit, the Gu family had changed their phone numbers and other electronic information. However, his address book contained Su Zimai's new contact information, which he had obtained through Xi Ze'er's channels.
[Anonymous user: Calling the diaper devil, calling the diaper devil, come out and meet me.]
After sending the message, Hei Pu put his phone back into the restraints, and stopped asking questions. Instead, he raised his head and looked towards the carriage that was still emitting warm light.
The phone in the restraints kept vibrating, but he didn't bother to read what text message Su Zimai sent him. He could just guess that it was definitely a bunch of curses and questions.
Just like always.
But he thought, Su Zimai must be wondering who in the world knows the nickname "Diaper Demon"? Could it be someone from Lake Hunter? Or maybe Ke Qirui suddenly called her out to give her a surprise?
Hei Pupa withdrew his thoughts and silently looked at the figure reflected on the curtain of the carriage.
Su Zimai initially angrily lowered her head and frantically tapped her phone. After a while, she suddenly raised her head and stared blankly at the window.
Through a curtain, the two people looked at each other quietly, although the person in the car could not see the person outside.
After a while, just as Hei Pu expected, Su Zimai stood up from his seat and carefully opened the car door.
In order not to wake up Gu Qinye and Gu Zhuoan, she closed the door as hard as possible without making much noise.
Then, she squeezed out from the crack of the door and walked cautiously in the dark Platform 7, occasionally looking down at the messages on her phone.
There are less than five people in the world who would call her "Diaper Demon", so when this annoying nickname is mentioned, the first person she thinks of is that person.
Su Zimai didn't know what was wrong with her. She also felt very stupid. She knew in her heart that there was no way such a ridiculous thing could happen in the world, but she was still tricked out by a text message and wandered outside for most of the day.
After a while, just as she was about to turn around and walk back to the tracks, the platform lights suddenly lit up with a "click".
Su Zimai didn't have any ideas at first, but the next second she suddenly realized something important. This was a train station that had been abandoned five years ago, so why was there still light?
Her heartbeat increased several times, and she slowly raised her eyes to look at the light bulb on the ceiling. At the same moment, the black pupa slowly released the color-changing form of the restraints.
Under the flickering light, his dangling figure was exposed to Su Zimai's vision. He just hung quietly upside down from the ceiling, slowly peeling off the restraints covering his face, and his gaze met hers while hanging upside down.
In the silence, the two looked at each other quietly.
The lights flickered, and Gu Wenyu's pale and handsome face also flickered.
Looking into his eyes, Su Zimai was stunned for a long time.
Then the other party slowly spoke, breaking the silence between the two of them:
"Hello, isn't this our diaper devil?"
In almost an instant, the fear and confusion in her eyes turned into surprise and questioning, and then from surprise back to greater fear, and then turned into anger, unstoppable anger.
"Who... are you?" Su Zimai muttered as he retreated cautiously. "That bastard doctor from the brigade? Am I hallucinating again? I advise you not to come near me. My brother and father are in the car. It won't be easy for them to kill you."
"I am Black Pupa."
Hei Pu tilted his head and spoke calmly. Su Zimai lowered his head, his eyes gradually obscured by his hair.
"You've lost your memory?" Black Pupa continued, "That's strange. How can I not remember my special ability and still cause amnesia?"
He paused. "I said I was a black pupa. Hmm... Is this a sentence that's hard to understand? Or is human language too advanced for the Diaper Demon?"
"Are you kidding me..." Su Zimai lowered his voice, "Why do you two like to pretend to be my brother?"
"Oh, Hei Pu pretended to be your brother. Yes, that makes sense." Hei Pu nodded.
"Get out of here!"
She lowered her head and stopped looking at his face, fearing that she would burst into tears.
The black pupa was silent for a moment.
"After all, Hei Pu and Gu Wenyu appear to be two different identities, but in reality, they are two different beings. One serves his own interests, while the other serves a non-existent, false, and disgusting family relationship." He looked away and said slowly, "So objectively speaking, Hei Pu is real, and Gu Wenyu is fake. In this case, there's no such thing as Hei Pu impersonating your brother. Rather, it's your brother impersonating me. Do you understand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his face was covered with restraints again, and the restraints put sunglasses on him.
Su Zimai was suddenly stunned. She hadn't heard such a weird tone for a long time.
"You...could it be..."
She was stunned for a long time, then suddenly realized something and raised her head again.
At this time, Gu Qiye heard the movement coming from the platform, opened the door of carriage No. 9, and walked out of the train. With a "click", he closed the carriage door casually.
"Xiaomi?" He raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, then looked towards Platform 7 curiously, wondering who Su Zimai was chatting with outside so late at night.
But at this moment, Gu Qiye suddenly saw a figure that was puzzling to him.
Gu Qiye stared at him blankly, and slowly squeezed out a name from his throat:
"Wenyu?"
Hei Pu raised his eyes and looked into his eyes silently.
Suddenly, Hei Pupa took out a drawing board from the restraints, and then took out a children's paintbrush from the restraints.
He turned the drawing board towards Gu Qiye and silently wrote on the white board with a brush:
"Actually, I've been thinking... Is it okay to be a pure scumbag?
Gu Qiye looked at the black pupa in shock, then slowly lowered his eyes, looking at the line of text on the drawing board in confusion.
Black Pupa wiped the drawing board with his restraints and continued writing with his brush:
"After all, what was the point of me playing these five roles? Didn't it just cause more harm? In the bar, when I saw that girl's depressed look, I was actually very distressed."
He rubbed the drawing board vigorously and wrote:
"In the final analysis, anything that is false will hurt others the day it is exposed. Even if my original intention was good, in the end, everything points to me being a hypocrite."
He almost scratched the drawing board and continued writing:
"After all, am I not just an elementary school student?"
"In the end, haven't I been a selfish person from the very beginning?"
"Yes, I've been a scumbag from the beginning, the most despicable scumbag in the world. And what's wrong with being a scumbag... I only live for myself. Is there anything wrong with living for yourself?"
He quickly wiped the drawing board and wrote quickly.
From beginning to end, Hei Pu didn't say a word, and Gu Qiye just stared blankly at the words on the drawing board.
At this time, Gu Zhuoan heard the noise and woke up. He pried open the carriage door and rushed out of carriage No. 10.
The moment he saw Gu Zhuo'an, Hei Pupa suddenly raised his head slightly.
"Great, our Mr. Ghost Clock is here too." He looked at Gu Zhuoan who was walking slowly towards him, wrote on the drawing board, and drew a gloomy hunchback of Notre Dame.
Suddenly, he stretched out a restraint belt and tied Su Zimai up violently.
In an instant, the overlapping straps wrapped around her neck like a dark poisonous snake, then climbed up her cheeks and covered her mouth.
"Xiaomai!" Gu Qinye was slightly stunned.
He saw the trajectory of the restraints clearly, but Hei Pu and Su Zimai were too close to each other. He was distracted for a moment by Hei Pu's words, and Su Zimai was already tied up by the restraints.
"Who are you? What are you going to do?" When Gu Zhuoan saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a gloomy voice.
He understood that his son was dead. He saw Gu Wenyu die in front of him with his own eyes. The black pupa in front of him must be a fake.
Black Pupa looked at him silently and continued writing on the drawing board with his brush:
"Don't act rashly."
After writing this line, he pointed at Gu Qiye with his restraints: "You, don't disgust me with your broken lightning."
Then, he pointed at Gu Zhuo's case with his restraints and continued writing, "You, don't even try to move that rotten clock tower of yours out. Don't even think about stopping time. Do you understand?"
Black Pupa suddenly made a gesture of wiping his neck with the restraints, and wrote on the drawing board word by word:
"Otherwise, I will break her neck immediately."
As he spoke, the restraints tightened slightly around Su Zimai's neck, as if a poisonous snake was about to bite her neck off at any time.
Black Pupa thought for a moment, then suddenly raised a finger. The restraints behind him frantically crafted words on the drawing board:
"Oh, by the way, I will kill more than one person, both of your family members."
In silence, Gu Zhuoan and Gu Qinye stared blankly at the drawing board.
"Two family members?" Gu Qinye asked.
"That's right, Gu Wenyu and Su Zimai, they're both in my hands." Hei Pu wrote on the drawing board and looked away. "Gu Wenyu is in my library. If I want, I can strangle him anytime. Then your beloved family will be gone!"
Black Pupa lowered his eyes and looked at his fingers wrapped in the restraints.
He slowly wrote on the drawing board: "I mean, maybe Gu Wenyu didn't exist in the first place. Only the black pupa existed. So I didn't harm him at all. Who did I harm? I harmed myself. Can this be considered a crime? Suicide is not a crime. Long live the law. Everyone is equal..."
"You are not Wenyu, who are you?" Gu Zhuoan asked in a gloomy voice.
The black pupa was stunned.
He slowly extended a restraint and wrote quietly and quickly on the drawing board:
"Good question, who am I?"
The words on the drawing board were quickly erased by the restraints, and the brush added new words:
"This is actually a very serious question, involving philosophy. The question is, am I Ji Minghuan, Xia Pingzhou, Xiaonian, or am I just a useless shark that has been eating, drinking, and defecating on the seabed for hundreds of years, and am I actually the Gu Wenyu you love the most and are most reluctant to part with?"
The restraints erased the words on the canvas like the wind, and the brush added new words like the wind, while also scribbling casually:
"I'm Ji Minghuan, 12 years old, an elementary school student."
"I'm Xia Pingzhou, 19 years old, a retired exorcist, and I just broke up with my boyfriend."
"I'm Yagubaru, I don't know how old I am, a lazy shark, and I'm fishing in Antarctica."
"I'm Little Nian Beast, 20 years old. Woof woof woof woof. My father just died. I'm the son of the great Nian Beast."
"I'm Gu Wenyu? 16 years old, high school student, the world's greatest intelligence businessman..."
"Then the question is, who am I?"
Black Pupa tilted his head, the restraints following his thoughts as he casually wrote on the drawing board:
He lowered his eyes.
As his thoughts progressed, messy handwriting continued to appear on the blank drawing board, just like a trance-stricken student doodling on the table.
The restraints hold the paintbrush.
The words continued to grow on the drawing board and finally piled up in a mess.
"Honestly..."
"I almost forgot who I am..."
"Who on earth is it?"
"My name is Ji Minghuan."
"I'm not an elementary school student. I've never been to school. I like reading. I have very few friends. I don't have any family, not even one. They abandoned me to protect my brother."
"The kids in the orphanage hated me at first. They called me a nerd and threw library books at me."
“I’ve always wanted to have a family.”
"If possible, I want my parents to be with me. If possible, I want to have an older brother and an older sister; if possible, I also want to have a younger sister and a younger brother."
"Everything I want is available here. I am very happy here and everyone is around me.
"I'm finally not alone anymore."
"I'm very happy here, but one day I suddenly realized that I'm not Gu Wenyu, but you guys act like I'm the real Gu Wenyu. I'm almost being deceived by you."
"I feel sick."
"So disgusting...it makes me...want to tear myself...in half."
"Are you watching me write? Then the question is, who can I tell the truth to? What's the point of continuing to act like this?"
"If I die quietly one day, in the research institute, and Gu Wenyu becomes a fool, or even disappears from the world, as if he never existed... Will anyone remember me then? Will anyone remember Ji Minghuan?"
"Gu Wenyu is dead, and someone will hold a funeral for him, but what about Ji Minghuan?"
"It's not me you remember..."
"What you remember is not me. What you remember is that person who cannot exist... I am just impersonating him. Everything I get from you is fake."
"He's 12 years old, loves reading, and is a little kid. Everyone says he'll destroy the world, but he just wants to read quietly with his only good friend."
"He's 16, a high school student, and he has a great family."
"19 years old, a robber, a traitor, the robber who made that girl cry."
"I'm 20 years old and have a human childhood sweetheart, but I'm a demon."
"Xia Pingzhou, 12 years old, high school student, Ji Minghuan, 16 years old, bandit..."
Gu Qiye, Gu Zhuoan and Su Zimai all stared blankly at the drawing board filled with words.
Black Pupa said nothing, wrapping himself in a giant, pitch-black cocoon, preventing anyone from seeing his expression. Only the restraints holding his drawing board and brush were exposed.
He just frantically wrote on the drawing board with the restraints, wiping, writing, wiping, writing.
"In fact, I almost forgot who I am."
"I was just lying to myself... I don't have any family, and you don't care about me at all. You never cared about me from the beginning. You only cared about the person I was pretending to be."
"The truth is, no one cares about me."
"You are not my family at all."
"I'm just a kid, why should I think so much? But...if I don't think about it, if I don't rack my brains to think about it, everything will disappear."
Inside the pitch-black giant cocoon, the black cocoon's eyes, nose and mouth were covered by layers of spreading restraints. He opened his mouth slightly towards the sky, as if screaming silently.
Outside the giant cocoon, someone in the restraints was holding a paintbrush and scribbling, with messy words constantly appearing on the drawing board.
"Should I apologize to you?"
"Then what should I say?"
"In fact, Gu Wenyu didn't exist from the beginning."
"I have killed him."
"What should I say to the boy I killed? I took your life, your family, everything you had..."
"Do I have to say to you, 'I'm sorry, I killed your family, he was fake from the beginning'?"
"I still have to say to him... 'Thank you for letting me feel what it's like to have family around you'?"
"I'm actually really tired... I'm tired all the time."
"I……"
The black pupa was stunned for a moment.
"I……"
In the huge, lightless cocoon, the black cocoon lowered its head slightly, repeating the same word in its mouth.
Outside the giant pupa, the same words appeared on the drawing board.
"I am……"
On the drawing board spread out in front of the three people, the restraints, paintbrushes, and words were all dancing wildly together.
"If I were... Ji Minghuan."
"Will you stay with me?"
The pitch-black giant pupa trembled, the drawing board trembled with it, and the words drawn on the restraints trembled.
“If I were just myself.”
"you."
"Will you still be by my side?"
"If I'm just... Ji Minghuan, I'm not Gu Wenyu, nor Xia Pingzhou, nor Yagu Balu... I just want Ayase Origami not to die, and I think Xia Ping appointed me."
Messy words were jumping on the board, like a program infected with a virus, or like garbled text.
It continues to evolve, as if extending endlessly backwards.
"Xia Pingzhou case, I, Ji Minghuan, am not Wei Ren. Am I your family? If so, Xizel, I'm really not a shark. Wow, don't cry. Su Zi, Meir Rewa, wow, I'm not a big moth. Uh, why, Ji Minghuan, Yagu Balu Wen case, why, Xiaonian, don't leave, Ayase, don't leave. I'm not your family, extra family, fake family, real family..."
The restraints danced in mid-air, the words on the drawing board twisted and distorted. All the "names" danced, changing vaguely before the three stunned eyes.
The last thing they saw was a line of identical text:
"Who am I?"
Dead silence.
There was dead silence in the station.
From beginning to end, no one in the giant cocoon said a word.
The next moment, a voice suddenly broke the silence that had shrouded the station for a long time.
"I don't care who you are... You absolutely cannot be Wen Yu." Gu Zhuoan said in a low voice, "Madman, let my daughter go."
Inside the giant cocoon, the black cocoon was suddenly startled, and then he suddenly laughed. A cold, self-deprecating laugh came from the dark cocoon.
"That's true..."
After a while, he muttered to himself and slowly emerged from the giant cocoon. Then he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Gu Zhuoan with a grin.
After a long silence, he suddenly threw away the drawing board and uttered a cold voice from behind his restraint mask:
"Yes, you are right. I am a lunatic, and I am not Gu Wenyu, and... you know what? In fact, I have tolerated you for a long time."
He looked at Su Zimai and said, "Look at you, a cocky, arrogant girl who just waits for others to clean up her mess every time."
He looked at Gu Qiye again and said, "A rather self-destructive saint who moved herself first but actually couldn't do anything."
Finally, he shifted his gaze back to Gu Zhuoan's face, looking down at him with naked mockery in his eyes.
"A reckless and foolish man abandoned his child but could not save his wife."
Hearing the sound made by the black pupa, the three people on the platform were stunned.
At this moment, Gu Zhuoan's expression was extremely gloomy.
"Who are you..." Gu Qiye murmured hoarsely
"Who are you... who are you, who are you?" Black Pupa stared at him, his speech speeding up with each word until it was as fast as a machine gun. "Why are all of you so obsessed with one answer? Are all idiots in the world like this?"
Su Zimai's mouth was tied with restraints, and he could only struggle and make whimpering sounds.
"Do you think there's a possibility? From the very beginning, all of this was just the fantasy of a 12-year-old boy."
Black Pupa muttered to himself softly, and suddenly peeled off the layer of restraints covering his face.
His face was exposed to the cold moonlight. At that moment, everyone on the platform could see his face clearly.
This was Gu Wenyu, no doubt about it. Gu Qinye and Gu Zhuoan were both staring at him in amazement.
After a while, Gu Qiye's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he spoke hoarsely:
"I... don't understand."
"Excuse me, what is it that you don't understand, Mr. Blue Arc?"
Black Pupa spoke calmly, meeting his almost pleading gaze.
"If you are Wen Yu, then why didn't you come to see us earlier? Why didn't you tell us you weren't dead?" Gu Qiye spoke almost word by word, "I don't understand...why did you do this?"
"Because I've already told you, I've cried out in my heart a thousand times, okay? I don't even want to play these hypocritical games of pretending to be a real person with you guys."
There was no expression on Gu Wenyu's face.
"From the beginning, I was not Gu Wenyu. Gu Wenyu does not exist. Gu Wenyu is a fake person. You have all been deceived by me."
As he spoke, his face sometimes changed into "Xia Pingzhou", then suddenly turned into "Little Nian Beast", and after a while turned into "Ji Minghuan".
But his expression remained so cold and detached from beginning to end. He looked at them as if he were looking at a group of strangers, or as if he were looking at a group of people he deeply hated.
"Maybe... I'm just schizophrenic, and this is all just my imagination. Just like the brain in a vat in the book."
After saying this, his face returned to Gu Wenyu's appearance.
Then he covered his face with the restraints again and put on the sunglasses that were crushed by the restraints.
"Listen, listen..."
Suddenly, Hei Pupa made a "listening" gesture with his hands. "There's an idiot named 1001 in my head. He said I was deceiving myself. I just don't know how to face you."
He paused and said, "He said, I was just afraid that you would expose the truth, so I just gave up on myself."
Black Pupa tilted his head. "He really understands. Rational people are good. Long live rationality. Rational people are cruel."
Black Pupa was dejected: "I hate rational people."
Black Pupa muttered, "But there's a rational person living in my head."
Black Pupa lowered his head and sighed, "I will have to live with rational people for the rest of my life."
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't look at me with such evil eyes, as if I ate your family."
Hei Pupa spread his hands and said, "Anyway, let's just leave it at that. We will never understand each other anyway. Because we haven't been a real family since the beginning."
He said: "Iceland, Hofsjokull glacier... all the secrets you want to know are hidden there."
He also said: "If you are interested, come to Iceland to find me."
He held up a finger. "But, but but but but but, but—if you dare to go to the Hofs Glacier before September 1st, I cannot guarantee Su Zimai's safety. I will slaughter her immediately and chop her up to feed the pigs."
"At the same time, I can also guarantee..." At this point, he lowered his voice and said coldly, "You will never see 'Gu Wenyu' again in this life."
"Well, even though we won't be able to see each other anyway."
Hei Pupa spoke happily, and his tone suddenly relaxed again.
Under the astonished gaze of the three people, the black pupa used two restraints to bend in mid-air, forming a big heart.
Then, the restraints dispersed again and waved to them:
"Bye then, see you in Iceland. Love from Iceland. Mr. Blue Arc, Mr. Ghost Clock! With such convenient transportation as the train demon, I don't want to see you late. Otherwise, it would be unfair to people like me who walk."
After saying that, Hei Pupa's restraints tightened Su Zimai slightly.
Then his body seemed to lose gravity, and suddenly leaped up like a bird, taking her with him and disappearing into the deep night.
Gu Qiye and Gu Zhuoan were still in shock and it took them a long time to recover. Because Su Zimai was still being held hostage by Hei Pupa, they didn't dare to act rashly.
The station was quiet.
Gu Qiye stared at the direction where the black pupa left and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time. It was as if nothing had ever happened. The night sky was still so calm, but it stirred up huge waves in his heart.
Gu Qiye and Gu Zhuoan looked at each other.
They didn't understand, if Wen Yu was really dead, then who was this madman who appeared in front of them.
But if he wasn't Wenyu, then why... did he look so miserable?
Gu Qiye thought blankly, looking up at the night sky in a daze.
Ten minutes later, the restraint belt incarnation brought Su Zimai to the exhibition stand of the Lijing Tower.
Then it transformed into a cloud of scorching steam and slowly dissipated with the wind.
The black pupa hung upside down under the ceiling of the exhibition stand, silently looking at Su Zimai who looked bewildered.
Naturally, he wouldn't let Su Zimai participate in this Icelandic war. He would have tied Su Zimai up in Reykjavik before anything started, to ensure she wouldn't be dragged into this Salvation War.
Because Hei Pu knew that with Su Zimai's personality, if she knew about him from Gu Qiye and Gu Zhuoan, she would definitely come to Iceland to find him even if she was torn to pieces.
But with her strength, once she was involved, it would be the end of her.
So it’s better to take the initiative and tie her up first, so as to ensure her safety.
At this moment, Su Zimai had his eyes wide open.
In the pitch-black night, she stared blankly at the man hanging upside down on the exhibition stand. He was wearing a long black trench coat and a dark red and angular mask on his head.
After a moment, a familiar voice suddenly broke the silence:
"Once we get to Iceland... I'll let you go. You'll be bored on the train anyway, so just treat it as a trip."
As he spoke, Hei Pu slowly took off the dark red mask on his face, revealing a cold expression.
Gu Wenyu said expressionlessly, "You can scold me if you want... Consider it the price of kidnapping you. I'm ready to listen to your nagging for a few days."
After saying that, he covered his ears with his hands and loosened the restraints that bound Su Zimai.
He tilted his head and silently looked at the long, brightly lit street in the distance, expecting Su Zimai to get angry at him or slap him once or twice. But the reality was not as he expected.
The moment Su Zimai was untied, she suddenly rushed over and hugged him. In the silence, he was slightly stunned for a moment.
Then he tilted his head.
"Are you out of your mind?" Gu Wenyu asked, "I kidnapped you."
"I'm asking you, are you...are you out of your mind?" Su Zimai buried her head in his chest, her voice filled with tears. "What on earth are you trying to do? I don't understand you anymore...Will I...won't you be sad? Is it fun to keep playing tricks on me? You're always like this...I really...really miss you..."
She hugged him tightly, burying her head in his shoulder, as if to vent all the pain that she had been holding in her heart for these days. But as she spoke, she couldn't even utter a complete sentence, her voice was intermittent and getting lower and lower.
Finally, Su Zimai burst into tears.
"Okay, stop crying... I'm a little annoyed by your crying." Gu Wenyu sighed.
Su Zimai didn't let him go for a long time.
"Are you sick?" After a long while, Su Zimai asked softly in a hoarse voice, "Shall we go home?"
His drooping hair covered his eyes. "I've already told you that you won't believe me, even if what I say is true."
"Even if you are crazy, you are still my brother." Su Zimai said.
"I'm not crazy, not at all." Gu Wenyu tilted his head, "Well, actually I feel like I'm not far from going crazy."
He lowered his eyes and murmured, "You know what? There are ten thousand voices talking in my head every day. Sometimes they say, 'Don't worry about them, they are just tools, you only need to care about Kong Youling'. Sometimes someone says, 'They are your family, their identities are fake, but their feelings are real'. Sometimes there are still people saying, 'Why don't we all die together, then the whole world will be peaceful'."
He paused, then suddenly curled his lips:
"that's all."
"If you are not crazy, why did you lie to us? Why did you pretend to be dead in front of us?" Su Zimai asked hoarsely.
"Because I can't breathe."
"Why?"
"I don't understand... I don't understand myself, how can you understand?"
Su Zimai was silent for a long, long time.
Suddenly, she spoke and broke the silence.
"Whether you're Ji Minghuan, Xia Pingzhou, or some other random person..."
Her eyes were obscured by her hair as she spoke slowly, word by word.
Having said this, she suddenly paused for a moment, buried her head in his chest, and hugged him tightly.
"No matter who you are...you are my brother."
Her lips moved slightly.
Hearing this, Gu Wenyu was stunned for a long time. The evening breeze blew over, ruffling his hair. His pupils trembled slightly, and the neon lights of the city seemed to be extinguished at this moment.
After a while, he gently stretched out his hands and patted her back.
"Thanks."
