Chapter 221

Gu Hongying didn't expect Xie Jianwei to give a positive answer so easily. He was prepared that Xie Jianwei would also be a riddle teller.

Darkness can conceal many things, including looks, movements, and expressions. There is no moon tonight. In the darkness, Gu Hongying heard Xie Jianwei say, "Instead of letting you have wild thoughts, I might as well tell you some of the facts."

Her calm voice was in stark contrast to the content of her words: "Gu Hongying, you are the reincarnation of Bai Ze."

Gu Hongying just relaxed for a few seconds because of the information he had obtained, and then he heard the shocking answer: "Oh, no wonder—I am the reincarnation of Bai Ze? Me???"

The calmness brought by three months of training seemed to disappear in this moment. Gu Hongying asked in an extremely unbelievable tone: "Are you sure it's me?"

This is worse than an April Fool's joke.

"Yes, you are Shirazawa."

In the dark footage, Gu Hongying was silent for a long time before he said jokingly, "I can be Bai Ze at my level. Is this the end of humanity?"

His attitude seemed nonchalant, but his expression was dazed, as scenes of his memories flashed through his mind quickly, as if an invisible thread was passing through the beads of memories, and finally stopped at the scene where Gu Hongying was wrapped in pajamas and shark-mouth slippers, standing at the foot of a barren mountain, looking up blankly - that was the beginning of the story.

Gu Hongying, who had just awakened his spiritual power, took the entrance test, and the door to a new world was opened. His life after the age of eighteen was turned upside down.

[I already knew about Shirazawa, but why do I still feel a little hurt now? QAQ]

[The last flashback scene really tormented me... I remember my wife also appeared in that episode, right? When my wife saw Yingying, was she looking at Yingying, or was she looking at her old friend through Yingying?]

[I’m so sad. This article has been serialized for more than a year. Yingying is growing up, but his wife is losing people... Did he wake up from his deep sleep just to send off his old friends one by one?]

[Damn it, do we have a grudge against each other? I was walking peacefully on the road and suddenly I got stabbed in the chest [vomiting blood.JPG]]

[I shouldn’t say this, in general, perfect characters like my wife in comics always die in the end TAT]

[Reject bento, start with me!]

Because of the comic's initial playback, in this page of memories, the comic readers all began to genuinely worry about Buyehou's safety. After all, the previously very popular Zangsheng, the domineering Jiaoyue, the lively and cute little fox... Tianyan's lunch boxes were always delivered neatly and without hesitation, and the readers were quite afraid that Tianyan would suffer from a big cough.

Yu Tu watched as the comments on this page gradually went off track and eventually turned into a meeting condemning Tian Yan. Many readers expressed their desire for Tian Yan's address so that they could send him some carefully prepared gifts.

As for the wild speculations in the comments about the "ancient past" of Buyehou, Yu Tu touched the tip of his nose and felt that he had gained a lot of inspiration. He picked out some very logical comments and put them in his memo to help him continue to improve his character.

After finishing the notes, Yu Tu turned the page. After Gu Hongying's joke, Xie Jianwei remained silent. Finally, he just said, "This is a foregone conclusion."

"A predetermined choice?" Gu Hongying got up from the ground, the wounds on his body still aching slightly, "I don't understand."

To his surprise, in the darkness, the smile on Xie Jianwei's face had completely disappeared: "I don't understand either."

"We don't know whether this is right or wrong, but we have no choice." Xie Jianwei closed her eyes tightly, and raised her right hand slightly. A cluster of flames lit up at her fingertips, illuminating the dark cliff. The deeper places where the light could not reach were still pitch black. "You once chose to be human, so you can only be human."

She said: "Gu Hongying, you are the last Bai Ze."

Gu Hongying still didn't understand.

But the term "the last Shirazawa" makes people inexplicably sad and grief-stricken.

"Since you don't know the answer to this question, I won't ask any more questions." Gu Hongying suddenly changed the subject, "Then let me ask you... Senior Buyehou."

In the comics, the memories that flashed before reappeared in the old tones, but these memories were accompanied by heart sounds.

"When I first saw Senior Buyehou, I felt that he was strangely familiar and I had no intention of guarding against him at all." Gu Hongying asked, "Did 'Bai Ze' influence me?"

"This is the only example of a beast-transformed person from ancient times to the present. The soul has been preserved intact for several reincarnations. No one knows whether the memory has left a mark on the soul." Xie Jianwei replied to him carefully, "You don't have to be too clear."

"If I can't tell the difference..." Gu Hongying sighed softly, "Am I Gu Hongying, or Bai Ze?"

This is a nearly unsolvable problem.

He is Bai Ze, and he is not Bai Ze. He has no idea what his past self has done. Perhaps the arrangement made thousands of years ago has come true at this moment, but he is ignorant and unaware of it thousands of years later.

"My words may sound a bit like moral kidnapping." The jumping flames on Xie Jianwei's palm floated into the air, leading them down the mountain. "Everyone has their own responsibilities... Hongying, no one can escape, and no one can get rid of it."

The firelight illuminated half of Xie Jianwei's profile. She looked extremely tired, and there was even a hint of silver in her inky black hair.

They went down the mountain one after another. The flames illuminated a space for them, but after they left, the space was swallowed up by darkness again. The road seemed very long, so they kept walking in the dark.

"I know you still have a lot of questions." Xie Jianwei didn't look back, but it was as if he had eyes on his back. "But knowing more may not necessarily be a good thing."

Gu Hongying stared at the shadow on the ground, feeling a little unhappy: "But I don't know anything. Is this fair to me?"

"Of course it's unfair, but there is no real fairness in this world." Xie Jianwei walked down the mountain step by step, "If you want to know more, work hard to become stronger."

"Perhaps the day you develop the swordsmanship..." Xie Jianwei's voice gradually became lower, revealing a hint of unnoticeable sadness, "you will naturally understand."

[There is so much information, my brain is a bit stuck now...]

[Weiwei seemed to have said everything, but also seemed to have said nothing. Why do I feel like I understood, but also seemed like I didn’t understand?]

[The question is clearly answered, but why do I feel like it's a plus version of The Riddler?]

[Oh oh, are you able to get to the point when you ask questions? Don't ask such broad questions! Just ask directly what Bai Ze needs to do after reincarnation? Why do they want to train you so hard? Does the senior Buyehou love you or Bai Ze (crossed out)?]

[I can answer all the questions above. The reincarnation of Bai Ze needs to work hard to become stronger; I need to cultivate Ying Ying vigorously because Ying Ying is the reincarnation of Bai Ze; He loves no one as his wife, but he loves me the most!]

[The answers to the first two questions are not variants of the Riddler [Rage.JPG], and my wife obviously loves me the most!]

[You’re lying! My wife obviously loves me the most!]

Thus, this originally somewhat heavy topic turned into a fierce battle of "Whose wife is Marquis Buye?" and "Who does Marquis Buye love the most?"

Yu Tu read these pages over and over again. Like some comic readers, he felt more and more doubts in his heart. He seemed to be trapped in a game of chess, where he was both a chess piece and a chess player.

This is the last page of this chapter. Yu Tu turned the page. The new chapter begins with Gu Hongying receiving the school opening notice from Kunlun.

Gu Hongying's luck seems to be a mystery forever. If everything was calm when Yu Tu arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, then Gu Hongying was grabbed by the ankle by a monster from the moment he set foot on the snow-capped mountains. He was so terrified that he looked like a world-famous painting called The Scream.

This seemed to be an ominous signal. More and more monsters crawled out from the snowdrifts, big and small, and chased after Gu Hongying.

Facing a huge group of monsters, Gu Hongying turned his head to take a look... and instantly ran faster!

Three to five can be easily dealt with, ten can be handled with ease, twenty to thirty can be barely dealt with, and fifty to sixty... he should just follow his heart!

Gu Hongying was circling a large group of monsters on the rugged snow-capped mountains, looking intimidating. Compared with his tragic experiences, the experiences of several other companions in other shots seemed much luckier.

[Yingying's luck is still as good as ever~]

[Now that everyone is separated, it should be clear who is European and who is not, right?]

[Is it possible that if we are separated, there will be no European emperor, only non-Europeans and even more non-Europeans [dog head holding a rose.JPG]]

[As expected of our famous non-African protagonist group! ]

Tian Yan did not dwell too much on Gu Hongying's experience on the snowy mountain, and simply glossed over it two pages later. Only the scene when Gu Hongying entered the teaching building was described in great detail.

The core of the Snow Mountain [the teaching building that cannot be escaped] is as eerie and weird in the comics as what Yu Tu saw with his own eyes. The dilapidated campus, the eyes peeking in the dark, the dark red color spreading on the ground... The situation that Gu Hongying faces is even worse than Yu Tu's.

Gu Hongying died once before he even entered the teaching building. After being "reborn", Gu Hongying stroked his chest with cold sweat on his forehead.

He raised his head and saw countless pairs of pitch-black eyes staring at him on the second-floor platform. Their hands were waving, and at first glance it looked like a monster with countless heads and limbs piled together.

Gu Hongying opened his curled hands, and the golden spiritual power surged in his palms, gradually condensing into a plain sword. Before the summer vacation, he could only make metal cones, but now he could turn his spiritual power into swords.

Gu Hongying raised his hand holding the hilt of the sword, his eyes fixed on the platform on the second floor, but he hesitated to chop down the sword.

The monsters that looked like countless heads and limbs piled together at first glance actually had expressions that belonged to "humans". They didn't look weird, but rather like living people.

Gu Hongying admitted that he hesitated.

He was told by everyone, from the school curriculum to the teachers who trained him, that he was not good at dealing with the weird.

However, those "human"-like emotional expressions prevented him from bringing down the sword in his hand - if they had not been completely corroded by the monster, was there still hope for survival?

Every life is precious and should be respected and cherished.

While Gu Hongying was hesitating, the shadow under his feet gradually became more and more aggressive. At a certain moment, the dark shadow suddenly rose into the air and hit him directly in the heart, but it fell empty.

Gu Hongying was prepared. He pierced his own shadow with one sword and retracted the sword in a crisp and neat movement.

Hesitation will not produce any results. Since he thinks so, he will do what he wants and he will bear the corresponding consequences for his actions.

If there is even one student in the entire teaching building who has not turned into a complete monster, he will rescue that person.

Gu Hongying walked into the teaching building with a sword in hand. The door of the teaching building closed silently behind him, but he did not look back.

…

Gu Hongying checked all the students in the entire teaching building, and found that they were all weird and no one was alive.

He has almost forgotten how many times he has been "reborn". He will not kill anyone before he has found out the truth.

Gu Hongying wiped the blood that had flowed down his forehead. He had already checked the last "student". From now on, he and the monster in this building were at war to the death.

The monsters in school uniforms blocked him on the highest rooftop. Gu Hongying looked up at the sky, but saw only a gray haze.

He raised the sword in his hand. He didn't know how many swords his spiritual power had broken in his "rebirth", but every sword he created was sharper than the previous one.

Gu Hongying held the sword with the tip hanging on the ground. The not-so-thick spiritual power surged through his body with a force as powerful as thunder.

[Although I still don’t quite understand it.] He thought, [but at least now, I have a clear conscience.]

He raised his hand, and the sword in his hand made a clear clanging sound. Yu Tu saw the space in the comics fluctuating, and a faint shadow gradually appeared beside Gu Hongying.

The face of the shadow was unfamiliar to the comic readers, but familiar to Yu Tu—it was the leader of Group 43 who had died.

As if transcending time and space, the two sword masters resonated at this moment, with the deceased predecessor guiding the path of the later ones, and together they ended this regret.

The comic uses an entire page to depict this richly colored picture: a ruined rooftop, hideous monsters, and a depressing sky. The young man leans against the wall, holding a sword with clear eyes, and cuts out an unstoppable, devastating sword light.

Everything is silent, and the enemy is defeated in one move.
