Chapter 405: I heard that love in the Republic of China was nine out of ten tragic (97)
Chen Guiwu suddenly remembered something. He slowly raised his head and glanced at the rotten branches of the sycamore tree behind him. His eyes were complicated and painful. His face was already fair, so he couldn't see the details of the gradually pale face.
"Chen Zheliu feels that I, as a father, don't love them, or even hate them. Actually, he is not wrong." After a pause, Chen Guiwu turned his head and looked deeply at Sheng Wu.
"Because they were created by me, I can clearly sense their state of mind every moment they were conquered by you, and every contact they had with you. As long as I want, I can sense it."
As he spoke, Shen Guiwu's scarlet pupils flashed, his moist eyes became a little hot, and the chuckle on his lips was ironic and self-deprecating.
"Seeing the person you love trying to pursue someone else, I don't think anyone would be magnanimous enough to ignore it." Especially when he felt Sheng Wu's tenderness and sweet words towards Shen Qinghuan, he wished he could destroy the heroine he created!
"You are a world spirit, but your abilities don't seem to be enough to support the creation of a figure of destiny."
Sheng Wu listened silently, her charming and cold face showing no surprise at all. It seemed that she had guessed the true relationship between him and Shen Junsheng and the other two, but she had never expressed it. Perhaps she was waiting to see what he was planning.
“Not at first.”
Chen Guiwu twitched his lips and scoffed softly, "I was just an NPC at first, unconscious. It wasn't until many taskers realized that this world had an unusually powerful force that they came to this world to deprive me of my power. Under their influence, I gained consciousness. I even killed them, depriving them of their system energy and using it as my own, then gradually nourishing my damaged foundation. I realized that I was trapped in this world, but there was no way to escape. So, one day, I wanted to destroy it."
"Unfortunately, I just killed the original hero and heroine, as well as the villain, hoping to cause the world to collapse, but I didn't expect to alarm the Heavenly Dao. It suppressed me and channeled the spiritual energy of this world into me, making me powerful, but also forever unable to destroy and leave this world. Because, if I live, it lives, and if it dies, I die."
"I became a world spirit, and then, for some reason, I created new Shen Jiangqi, Shen Huan, and Shen Xinlai. I watched those ridiculous taskers come to this world, trying to influence and deprive me, but in the end, I killed them and used them as fertilizer to nourish me. Until your arrival, I found new meaning in life."
Sheng Wu listened to his words, and her indifferent eyes finally showed some changes.
"So now, you want to drag me to death with you."
Chen Guiwu stared at her steadily, his long feathery eyelashes trembling slightly, drooping slightly to hide the bitterness in his pupils, and his lips sneered.
"You know, I can't beat you because all my strength comes from you."
After a pause, he glanced at Sheng Wu.
"What about you? When did you doubt my identity?" There was a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Sheng Wu was tired of standing, so she simply sat down on the stone bench covered with snow. She looked at him nonchalantly with her beautiful eyes and tilted her head. Her cold eyes rarely looked at someone without malice and viciousness.
Perhaps, it was because Shen Guiwu was once a part of herself, and she loved herself but not Shen Guiwu.
"Looking back, I felt something was wrong with you the moment I opened my eyes and saw you. I vaguely guessed you were plotting something, especially when Shen Junsheng showed me the painting you drew. I knew there was no one else there eight years ago except me. There's always been something familiar about you, but I can't remember what it was. As for truly discovering your identity, it was the night you took me to see your true form, this sycamore tree."
As she spoke, her cold eyes swept over the withered and rotten sycamore tree behind Chen Guiwu.
"That night, the sycamore tree seemed flourishing, but in reality, it already had a stench of decay within, a scent that even the fragrance of the flowers couldn't mask. If you hadn't been so weak and vomited blood that night, I'm afraid I wouldn't have sensed it... You are the sycamore branch I discarded during the battle."
It was at that time that she began to doubt the relationship between Shen Junsheng and the other two and Shen Guiwu.
“…”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Guiwu's eyes trembled, and he raised his lips slightly, "So, you recognized it a long time ago."
Yes, he actually guessed that Sheng Wu was acting with him.
The two people acted out their own roles and deceived each other.
Sheng Wu tilted her head slightly, her beautiful crimson eyes half-closed, indifferent. "It's just that I never imagined that the soul I extracted and discarded back then would end up in this world and become an NPC, and even have the ability to plot against me like this."
"Back then, in order to cultivate the demonic body of the demonic realm, you did not hesitate to extract this strand of my soul, giving me consciousness and naming me 'Guiwu'."
Chen Guiwu pursed his lips and smiled. He slowly stood up and walked towards Sheng Wu very slowly, step by step. With every step he took, the pain in his body became greater, as if he was walking on a sword.
"You said, 'Gui Wu'... means 'returning to charm.' It just so happened that you were visiting Kunlun Mountain at the time and saw the divine Wutong tree, nourished by spiritual energy and extremely spiritual. You said the meaning of 'Phoenix Resting on the Wutong' was interesting. So, you attached my spirit to the best Wutong branch. You originally wanted to take me back to the underworld, where no plants ever grow, to see if a Wutong tree could grow in the sunless, barren underworld. Unfortunately, that didn't work."
"You lost that rebellion. While you were recuperating in the Three Thousand Worlds, you abandoned me and I landed in a random world. And by some strange coincidence, I was trapped by the Heavenly Dao."
The dark red robe on his body moved slightly, and the silver-white hair on his head gradually became dry, and as he moved further away from the sycamore tree, it became more and more dim.
As Chen Guiwu spoke, his light red pupils stared at Sheng Wu in a complex and obscure manner. There was resentment of being abandoned in his scarlet eyes, but also endless tenderness.
"If you count carefully, I've been waiting for you for not twenty-two years, but five hundred and twenty-two years."
His face was tense. He was part of Shengwu and naturally understood her temper best.
He knew from the beginning that she was deceiving him and everyone else, but he still played along with Sheng Wu and completed the whole play. And Sheng Wu, who had clearly guessed everything, never exposed him and accompanied him through the dream.
"Are you going to kill me?"
Sheng Wu also stood up slowly, her beautiful red eyes staring at Chen Guiwu without any ripples, just like the words Chen Guiwu asked her before.
She had no purpose towards Chen Guiwu, so there was no need for her to scheme against him, but she also... had no feelings for him.
In her opinion, everything Chen Guiwu did was just his wishful thinking. What did it have to do with her? In fact, Chen Guiwu's actions could even be considered as a calculation against her!
If it weren't for the fact that she had nothing to lose and had easily gained the favor of Chen Zheliu and Shen Junsheng, she would probably have taken action long ago.
Back then, she had pulled him out in order to cultivate her demonic body, so she would not want to take him back now.
She won't pick up lost things.
Hearing this, Chen Guiwu Wenliang's eyebrows moved, as if he could see what she was thinking. His deep and gentle light red pupils looked at her deeply, desperate and sad, with a hollow and fragmented look.
He didn't say anything, but looked up at the sky, which was covered with dazzling white snow.
It fell on Sheng Wu's head, shoulders, and her own dry silver hair.
In June of the 62nd year of the Republic of China, it snowed heavily.
But the outside world and the people of the former Beijing were gradually disappearing, just like a movie.
"Awu, it's snowing."
Chen Guiwu said meaningfully, his lips gently curved.
He didn't understand either. He was originally separated from Sheng Wu, but he didn't expect that after hundreds of years of changes, there would be such a passionate and ridiculous love.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Afterwards, the whole world began to shake violently like an earthquake!
[Ding ding ding! ]
[Warning! Warning, the world is about to collapse! Host, please leave! ]
A roaring mechanical sound was heard.
[Holy crap! Host, the world is collapsing! Run! Otherwise you'll be trapped in this space-time rift!]
The black ball who was eating the watermelon panicked for a moment.
But Sheng Wu ignored her completely. She continued to look at Chen Guiwu's eyes, which were cold and ruthless.
"It's snowing... You know, the underworld is just night and wasteland all year round. There's no sun, no plants, and no snow."
There is no sign of the paulownia tree blooming.
"I know." I've always known.
Hearing this, Chen Guiwu suddenly lifted his lips and chuckled. He suddenly reached out and hugged Sheng Wu.
He held her tightly in his arms, and the dry silver hair fell beside Sheng Wu's ears. Chen Guiwu almost used up his last strength to hold her. His scarlet eyes were hot, and his cool eyebrows revealed helplessness and tenderness, his eyes were full of brokenness and regret.
"You knew it from the beginning, right? I can't bear to kill you, but I can't hate you either."
After a pause, Chen Guiwu's breathing stagnated, his brows furrowed in pain, and his eyes began to become unfocused and confused. This time it was not as simple as vomiting blood, but starting from the feet, he gradually turned into a pool of blood!
The answers and revenge he wanted before, he no longer needs them.
"you......"
Sheng Wu also noticed that something was wrong with him, but Chen Guiwu held her tightly to prevent him from seeing her embarrassment.
"Awu, this is the token of love I owe you on our wedding day. This time, it has been tempered with enough energy from this world and the previous tasker systems. Its power is no less than your Beauty Bone Fan."
"The land of the underworld can't grow flowers. If you like, the sycamore tree can."
After saying that, Chen Guiwu finally lowered his head and kissed Sheng Wu's forehead affectionately.
A tear in the corner of her eye disappeared in the snow.
He actually had many things he wanted to say to her, but it didn't matter anymore.
"Shen Guiwu..."
Sheng Wu raised her eyes coldly, but before she could say anything, something was stuffed into her hand, and the world in front of her quickly shattered like fragments.
"Don't forget me this time."
Chen Guiwu's scarlet eyes curved and he sighed softly. He didn't ask her why she left him as he had thought of before, nor did he question whether she loved him or not, nor did he question whether she had ever fallen in love with someone else.
Chen Guiwu looked at her with deep affection for the last time. His light red pupils softened and finally turned into a ball of light and shadow, following the rotten sycamore tree behind him.
Disappear together!
"Crack! Boom!"
[Warning! Warning! Evacuation time, three!]
