Chapter 238 Running Towards His Hope [End]

When Lou Su appeared next to Gao Lin, Su Yan asked, "Why is it Brother Lou? Where is the captain? Gao Lin, why didn't you pull the captain out? The crack is about to close, pull the captain out!"

Xie Ling was also very confused. Why was it Lou Su who came out? According to their plan, the person trapped in the time gap should be Lou Su.

Although the situation has changed now and Lou Su may be stuck in the time gap and they can't rescue him, Lou Su's appearance is indeed very unexpected.

Lou Su said nothing, Gao Lin shouted with red eyes: "Captain can't get out!"

As he finished speaking, the crack closed and Bai Jinli's name on the captain's card turned gray.

They had experimented with this last time, and found that when a name turns grey it doesn't necessarily mean that the person is dead, but rather that Captain Ka is no longer able to bring the person back.

"What do you mean?" Su Yan stared blankly at the crack in the closure and asked softly.

Before Gao Lin could explain to Su Yan, someone in the crowd shouted, "Aliens! The aliens that Xiao Chou summoned just now have also resurrected. Everyone, be careful!"

A swarm of black crows attacked everyone. No one had time to ask Gao Lin any more questions, and everyone used their special powers to fight against the aliens.

At first everyone was very cautious, fearing that after the crow died there would be despair everywhere. And that was exactly what happened. After a superpower killed the crow, its body exploded into a ball of black mist, and everyone knew that it was despair.

But without Xiao Chou's control, those Desperate would not actively attack the psychics and soon dissipated in the sky.

It was not until this moment that they realized that Chu Xihen had completely defeated Xiao Chou.

After killing the crows, another group of mutant animals came. These mutant animals had nothing to do with Xiao Chou. Xie Ling speculated that after they killed the crows, the desperate mutants scattered in all directions, driving the already irrational mutant animals crazy.

Another reason is that the snow on the ground was cleared by Chu Xihen, and the mutant animals that had been hiding also appeared.

After all the mutant animals were killed, the sky began to brighten.

The sunrise in the east shed a ray of golden light that illuminated the earth, as if telling everyone that despair was gone and hope was shining on the world.

It was during the process of killing the mutant animals that Lou Su was told by Ling Yao that Chu Xihen was put into a stone egg. After killing the mutant animals, he sat down next to the white stone egg that was more than one meter tall.

Ling Yao sat down next to him, followed by Chu Xichi and Gu Xingxie.

Su Yan and Gao Lin sat on the other side of the stone egg.

Xie Ling and Xiao Yan came over and said, "We can transport the stones to the Superpower Bureau..."

He was halfway through his words when he remembered that the Superpower Bureau had been destroyed by Xiao Yan.

"No need." Before he could finish, Lou Su took over, "Just let him stay here. I'll build a house here and stay with him until he wakes up."

Xie Ling said, "Well, Mr. Chu woke up not long after being in the stone egg last time, and I believe it will be the same this time."

"Thank you, Dr. Xie. Go and get busy." The war had just ended and Xie Ling still had a lot of things to arrange.

When Xiao Chou appeared, he was stomping around everywhere, and no one knew if the Superpower Bureau was in trouble. Xie Ling really had to go back and check.

But before he left, he still wanted to confirm the situation in the time gap.

If Xiao Chou makes a comeback, they won't have a good life for many days.

Lou Su looked at Gao Lin on the other side of Stone Egg and said, "Ask Gao Lin. He knows better than me."

Everyone was very confused and looked at Gao Lin who had his head lowered.

Su Yan was the first to speak, "Gao Lin, what's wrong? You were in a bad mood last night. Why didn't you pull the captain out in the end?"

Xie Ling thought for a while and asked Gao Lin, "Is it related to the captain's card?"

Gao Lin then said, "Not really. Even if he didn't know that the Captain Card could transfer the Captain, he would still do it. Ever since he knew that Brother Lou would use the skill [Time Freeze] to fight Xiao Chou during the gap in time, he has been thinking about the feasibility of this."

"He said that after discussing for so long, no concrete results were achieved. Brother Lou can only solve the most urgent problems in the time gap, but cannot eliminate the trouble forever. So he came up with this idea. He used his newly acquired special skills to get Brother Lou's skills, and then he stayed in the time gap."

When Su Yan heard Gao Lin's words, she was so shocked that tears immediately rolled down her cheeks. "So... is the captain still alive?"

Gao Lin shook his head, he didn't know what to say.

Bai Jinli froze himself and Xiao Chou in the cracks of time. Xiao Chou would never reach despair, and he would also be unable to move.

"I didn't agree at first, but he told me that he was the protagonist who saved the world, and that's what he should do." Gao Lin wiped his tears, "I didn't expect him to be so immature."

Lou Su listened without saying anything. He said that he was the protagonist or something like that. It might sound very childish to others, but he knew very well how badly these two words had harmed Bai Jinli.

Although he didn't enjoy the treatment of a protagonist, he had to fulfill the mission of a protagonist.

"Does that mean we will never see the captain again?" Su Yan asked, covering her eyes.

Gao Lin replied: "The captain said he will be with us in heaven."

——

One year later.

On the way back from killing the mutant animals, passing by the stone eggs, Yang Yichen and Ling Ji walked to the stone eggs and shouted into the house next door, but no one answered.

Ling Ji secretly took out a bunch of wild flowers he had picked on the roadside and placed them next to Stone Egg.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't let that little Loli find us." After Ling Ji finished speaking, he pulled Yang Yichen and tried to run.

But before the plan was implemented, Chu Xichi walked out of the wooden house next door.

When she saw a bunch of wild chrysanthemums next to the stone egg, she exploded instantly.

"You son of a bitch, who told you to give flowers to my brother? He's not dead. If you want to give flowers, go to the back. There's plenty of space in front of Bai Jinli's cenotaph!" Chu Xi walked to Shitoudan angrily, picked up the flowers Lingji had put there and threw them back into his arms, "Get out of here, or I'll beat you up."

Ling Ji hurriedly took the flowers, "Don't be angry, little naughty sister. We don't mean any harm. We just think that Brother Fox is an epiphyllum. If we put some flowers next to him, he might be able to sense the same aura and wake up tomorrow..."

"You are the Epiphyllum Fairy, your whole family is Epiphyllum Fairy!" When Chu Xichi said this, the Moon Blade was already spinning in the palm of his hand.

Upon seeing this, Yang Yichen quickly picked up Ling Ji and ran away.

They didn't run far before they saw the cenotaph that Lou Su had erected for Bai Jinli. Ling Ji carefully placed the bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone.

When Lou Su first built a cenotaph for Bai Jinli, Gao Lin almost fought with him, but in the end the fight ended up failing, and the cenotaph was just built like that.

Over the past year, people with special abilities have been out killing mutant animals, and whenever they pass by here, they would come to see the two heroes who saved humanity.

Putting flowers in front of Stone Egg would result in a beating, but everyone wanted to go over and tease Chu Xiqi. The little girl stayed in the house the whole time and refused to go anywhere, insisting on waiting for her brother to wake up.

In fact, anyone with eyes could see that Chu Xihen in the stone egg had no breathing and no heartbeat, so it would be difficult for him to wake up.

Unlike Chu Xichi, Lou Su would go out to kill mutant animals every day like other psychics. He behaved very peacefully, as if nothing had happened.

But Ling Ji gossiped with Ling Yao and learned that although Lou Su would not place flowers in front of the stone egg, he treated Chu Xihen in the stone egg as a flower.

I water the stone eggs every day because I’m afraid they’ll get sunburned on sunny days and wet on rainy days.

Although he seems unaffected on the surface, he has actually gone crazy in his heart.

Everyone knew that he went out to kill mutant animals day and night just to keep himself busy and numb so that he wouldn't keep thinking about Chu Xihen.

After Chu Xixie drove Yang Yichen and the others away, he lay on the stone egg as usual, and looked at Chu Xihen's condition through the gaps in the texture on it.

Even though she saw the same results every time, she still looked at it several times a day.

This time when she was lying on the stone eggs, she seemed to suddenly hear a heartbeat, a very slow one, but it was really a heartbeat.

Then she saw that Chu Xihen's chest seemed to be rising and falling slightly?

She was afraid that she was dazzled, so she turned her head away and rubbed her eyes twice, then lay back down to look. Chu Xihen's chest was indeed beating.

Then she saw a small night-blooming cereus slowly blooming on the top of the stone egg.

"Ah!!!" Chu Xi screamed shrilly and turned around and ran away.

The sun was about to set, and she knew that Lou Su would be back soon. Lou Su would rush back before sunset every day to chat with Chu Xihen in the Stone Egg.

Chu Xi didn't see anyone, but she ran while shouting: "Lou, bloom! Bloom!"

She shouted for a long time, her voice almost hoarse, before she finally saw Lou Su's figure.

Lou Su heard her shouting something from a distance and thought she was in danger, so he quickly went to meet her with Ling Yao and Gu Xingxie.

Chu Xichi grabbed Lou Su's wrist and said, "It's blooming. The top of the stone egg is blooming..."

Before she could finish her words, Lou Su rushed out like an arrow.

But he didn't run far before he fell flat on his face in front of everyone. But he didn't hesitate at all, he got up and stumbled forward again...

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the earth, casting a long shadow on the somewhat unruly figure of Lou Su.

The shadow ran in the light and shadow, running towards the hope that belonged to him.
