sin city redemption
Chapter 9 As a detective, I just want to live like an ordinary person normally.
On his chest, apart from his chest, even the scales on his tail were covered in blood.
dead... dead again...
"Why?" Slowly raising her head, Lu Xuan looked at Shen Chuan with a somewhat distracted gaze, "Why did you kill him?"
"Because he's going to kill you."
"Maybe he's just hungry!" Lu Xuan roared, and then remained silent, because he himself knew that this reason was ridiculous.
But he didn't have any other explanations, he didn't believe that Fu Lan, who had watched him grow up since childhood, would treat him like this and even kill Liu Huo.
Shen Chuan looked at him blankly for a while, and finally spoke. "Wake up, he feels it. You have the breath of death on you. It's his favorite. It's like a drug addiction. He is no longer the original him. The fire is just the beginning of his killing, and your eyes have The seeds of that tree, as long as the tree sucks blood, you can feel it, and it will naturally emit a breath of death, so he will eat you without hesitation."
"Shut up!" Lu Xuan lowered her head and panted heavily. The wound on her neck has slowly healed, but it still hurts, even worse than when she was bitten.
Shen Chuan paused for a moment, then continued: "He's not a mermaid, but a sea monster. A sea monster without feelings won't really have any dependence or other emotions on anyone. As long as he wants, anyone is his food. "
"Didn't you hear when I told you to shut up?!" Lu Xuan clenched her fists with both hands, slammed the ground hard, then stood up and stumbled out.
"Lu Xuan——" Shen Chuan immediately followed up, grabbed his arm but was thrown away, he held it again, was thrown away again, and for the third time, he lost his patience and directly grabbed Lu Xuan and pulled him over body, let him face himself.
"You old monster! Die! Die, die, die!" Like a lunatic, Lu Xuan beat Shen Chuan indiscriminately, as if she wanted to vent all her long-standing grievances.
Although his life belonged to Shen Chuan, he couldn't let him play with himself like this.
Shen Chuan silently let him vent for a while, and finally grabbed his hand and shouted, "Enough!"
Lu Xuan was forced to stop, panting in a daze, staring at Shen Chuan's chest.
"You are the same as me now." Like the cruelest announcement, Shen Chuan reached out and grabbed the chin of the person in front of him, and reiterated word by word, "You are the same as me now, Lu Xuan, we are the same kind of people."
Tears welled up in her eyes, Lu Xuan gritted her teeth, "Bastard!" Then she cursed again.
"I just don't want you to get hurt." Shen Chuan looked down at Lu Xuan who was already in tears, and said softly, "I don't even want you to hurt, you know?"
The bastard!What are these now? !Turning her head away, Lu Xuan wiped her eyes vigorously, but wiped the blood on her hands and face all over her face, which was absolutely shocking at first glance.
"I know you hate me. It seems that I used you to do experiments, but it's not just because of my whim." Shen Chuan stretched out his hand and gently wiped the blood on his face with his thumb, "We Different from ordinary people, in their eyes we are different, even something that should not exist.”
Lu Xuan looked at him quietly, the blood on her face was wiped off little by little.
"The starting point for doing that experiment was because ordinary humans would not give us living space, and our existence was a threat to them, so why not use our power to get back what we deserve? We should be able to use Live in this world together in your own way.”
Putting down his hands, Shen Chuan hugged Lu Xuan's waist, "I found many supernatural beings to keep experimenting, and finally found that only your genes can perfectly integrate everyone's genes and become the "seed" for cultivating new supernatural beings, but there is no Thinking that the experiment failed, the tree could not give birth to new supernatural beings, but it gave the person who provided the gene a chance to be reborn, maybe this is the so-called "a blessing in disguise."
"Does that count as rebirth?" Lu Xuan snorted coldly, feeling as cold as Shen Chuan's.
Shen Chuan was silent for a while, and then continued, "The first time I knew that tree can bring people back to life is because of Shang Shan." He unconsciously tightened his arms around Lu Xuan's waist. "That's when I really understood that nothing can be created out of nothing in the world, and all gains must be paid for."
Lu Xuan frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Originally, the tree bore fruit like it is now, but no supernatural person was born for a long time. It just kept the fruit. It was not until several members of the organization died during the mission that the few fruits finally matured and fell to the ground. "
"what do you mean……"
Shen Chuan nodded lightly, "Those people are all supernatural beings who provided genes, and after the fruit fell to the ground, the only surviving Shang Shan had exactly the same ability as one of them, but had a little more defect, that is, he didn't have his own The original form, I understood at that time that only death can bring life, so the original appeal of the experiment was a complete failure.”
"In that case, why didn't you destroy that tree?"
"The fruit on that tree is closely related to the supernatural person who provided the gene. Although I am not a good person, I am not so bad that I will endanger their lives despite everything."
"Is it okay to let them be killed by that strange tree one by one?" Lu Xuan couldn't help but sarcastically.
Shen Chuan stared at him, as if he was looking at a child making trouble for no reason, and finally replied softly, "I'm only good enough to dig out the seeds with your genes as the main formula."
Lu Xuan was dumbfounded.Does what this person is saying now mean that he is special to him?
"Although when the seeds were first made, your genes were already set as the basic mother, and they were only responsible for cultivating people with other abilities. In other words, the tree in the future will not cultivate people with your abilities. Naturally, you It will not be in this cycle of life and death. But as the tree got out of control, I don’t know if it will have other adverse reactions, because I don’t want you to have anything to do with that tree, so I dug out the seeds.” Shen Chuan explained without haste.
"But I didn't expect that after digging the seeds, the tree would mutate into a tree that turned against those who provided the genes before finding the seeds, until they died, and then cut off the life-and-death ties between the two, so that the embryos formed could be separated from themselves. Live on."
After listening to his words, almost all the questions were answered, but Lu Xuan didn't feel relieved at all, instead he felt even heavier.
Because he didn't know what to respond to, he could only grab one of the chaotic thoughts floating in his mind and speak out.
"...you, when did you drink your blood for me?" he asked.
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Chuan replied, "The first time we had sex, you woke up and found us kissing." At that time, he made him drink his blood.
He remembered, but... "Why?" Really just wanted him to live?
Shen Chuan hugged him into his arms, and the two leaned together in a natural embrace.
"I'm lonely, Lu Xuan, can you imagine a person living forever? The people around me are getting old little by little, and finally return to the dust. Watching a life slowly disappear, I feel like I am also Then die once."
Thinking about it this way, perhaps there was a small reason why he would do that experiment at that time because of his loneliness.Although it is impossible for others to live forever like him, at least when he is alive, he wants to be accompanied by a little more like him.
Closing his eyes, Shen Chuan's pleasant voice was a little more frustrated, "I don't remember how long it took me to get used to that process, but I got used to it after all, or I became numb."
"What about me?" Lu Xuan asked calmly, "Do you want me to be like you, watching the people around me leave one by one until numb?"
Shen Chuan was silent again, maybe his original intention was not like this, but he still couldn't deny the result.
"I just want you to be with me," he said softly at last, before laughing at himself. "Isn't that selfish?"
Indeed, this is very selfish, but it is the only and most basic requirement for loving someone.
"Why me?" Lu Xuan felt that her vision was a bit blurred, but she still tried to open her eyes wide and listened carefully to every word Shen Chuan said.
And this seems to be a more difficult question to answer. Sweet words or intoxicating love words cannot be used, so Shen Chuan just expressed his true thoughts.
"I was very scared when you ran away. I was afraid that you would know what my purpose was. I don't want to evade responsibility. I just want you to remember me without any resentment. Do you remember? The day I brought you back, you Watching me cry," said here, Shen Chuan raised his lips slightly, raised Lu Xuan's head to let him look at him, "At that time, I thought, why is this child so cute——"
"How old was I then? What were you thinking!" Although the current atmosphere is very serious, when Lu Xuan heard this, she still felt dumbfounded.
"Yes, you are very young, I'm not sure if I can watch you grow up slowly, and I'm not afraid of your doubts about my youthful appearance, but anyway, I gave up that experiment because of you, maybe because of my guilty conscience , so I’m leaving, I’ll give you time and myself, but—” Shen Chuan stretched out his hand and gently stroked his right eye, “I left you the most important thing.”
Lu Xuan was a little dazed.He didn't quite understand if this was Shen Chuanai's way of keeping what he thought was important on him and giving him a life that wouldn't grow old, but it was more like a kind of erosion that made him slowly, Get close to him bit by bit, and finally assimilate with him.
"Do you think I will appreciate you?"
Shen Chuan smiled, "If you knew it, you wouldn't be you." After thinking for a while, he said, "I really thought about it, I will be with you as Shen Chuan, I will make you fall in love with me, and you can't leave me." open me."
"So arrogant." Lu Xuan smiled sarcastically.
"Maybe, but that's necessary." Shen Chuan also smiled self-deprecatingly, then frowned, "But when I found out that you were about to fall in love with Shen Chuan, I felt unwilling."
This feeling of contradiction is very clear to Lu Xuan.
"...Why are you telling me this now? Why did you tell me until today? Why did you say you hadn't seen me when we first met?" He was confused and hesitant because of this person again and again, but Shen Chuan Never admitted anything.
"Because I want to start over with you." Looking at him, Shen Chuan looked serious. "I don't want you to remember the past, I just want to start over with you now."
Without those pasts, Lu Xuan thought that he and Shen Chuan would have had a good start.
Maybe he couldn't convince himself that Shen Chuan fell in love with him as an "experiment" in the past, but during the time he met him after he left, he thought that Shen Chuan had feelings for him, and maybe it was mixed with his past love. Yes, but enough.
Raising his head, he looked at the man who almost changed his life in front of him, "I can start over, but I can't let go of everything now." Because the death of other people is like paving the way for them.
He wasn't sympathetic, but he wouldn't step on the corpses of his companions. Besides, they could all be regarded as his friends.
Shen Chuan frowned.
Seeing his expression, Lu Xuan smiled unrulyly. "Or do you imagine what you said, tie me up with a chain, and then find a place to lock me up as a pet?" He didn't care when he found that the other party showed a somewhat helpless expression, and just continued to ask. "My brother said that although ordinary injuries won't kill me, suffocation can, right?"
A few seconds later, Shen Chuan smiled, "Yes, and if you hurt a vital organ, but you don't have enough time to recover, you will die."
For Lu Xuan, this is good news.
"It turns out that it's not impossible to die—" He laughed twice, looking at Shen Chuan's expression with some complacency.
Knowing what he was thinking, Shen Chuan shook his head helplessly, "When I grow up, I'm not as obedient as before."
Lowering her head and pursing her lips, Lu Xuan felt strange to Shen Chuan about her former self.
The atmosphere became a little delicate for a moment, and the whole world seemed to have nothing but the two of them.
After a while, Lu Xuan broke the silence, "I—" before she spoke, and her eyes suddenly went dark.
"What's wrong?" Shen Chuan immediately supported his precarious body.
Lu Xuan felt that there was a moment of darkness in front of his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by blood red, like dye, which slowly splashed down from his eyes, over and over again——
Shen Chuan raised his chin and frowned slightly. "Did you feel it? Your right eye resonates with that tree. You can feel what it's doing. That's why you kept dreaming about everyone's death."
Lu Xuan closed his eyes hard, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, making him almost out of breath.
"I'll take it out for you now, so you won't be in such pain—" Shen Chuan lowered his voice, as if giving him the most gentle comfort and assurance, and slowly stretched out his hand, but just when he was about to touch Lu Xuan , the other party suddenly backed away. "Lu Xuan?"
"I won't let you take it out so easily!"
"Why? You don't want to—"
Lu Xuan shook her head, resisting the urge to vomit because of the blood in front of her eyes, and said, "I can't make decisions for them. You keep saying that you want them to be born again, but you don't care whether they don't want to live again, or even let them live again. There is no certainty of living once, what do you think of them? Games? If you fail, you can start from scratch? Or—experiments?”
"Lu Xuan!" Shen Chuan shouted.He knew he was wrong, but he still couldn't help being angry when he heard Lu Xuan say this with his own ears.
Lu Xuan stared at him for a while without flinching, and finally ran away without looking back.
Seeing him running away quickly, Shen Chuan frowned first, lowered his head and rubbed his forehead, then he felt relieved as if he remembered something, and smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.
This person's character has been like this since childhood.
Although he is not too young now and many things have changed, he is still the same Lu Xuan in his heart, but he is no longer the child who is holding his hand and timidly following behind him.
Suddenly, he frowned and whispered, "Come out!"
Soon, footsteps came from behind him, approaching a little bit.
Shen Chuan turned around and looked at the person who was slowly coming out of the darkness.
After the other party stopped, he looked at him for a few seconds, and then smiled faintly, "Long time no see."
Shen Chuan looked at him, and hooked his lips, "Yeah, long time no see, you've grown up."
Zhou Mingxiao closed his eyes, and the unsmiling smile disappeared immediately. "But you haven't grown old."
This person is still the same as when he saw it for the first time, no matter how much time has passed, he still knows this even if part of his memory has disappeared.
"You still hate me?" Shen Chuan asked suddenly.
"...Where does this start?"
"You are too smart," Shen Chuan said indifferently, "you have known and seen through many things very early on. Although your ability does not have much room for display, your IQ is very high."
"You seem to have studied me thoroughly?" Zhou Mingxiao raised the corner of his mouth again, and then snorted coldly without waiting for Shen Chuan to say anything. "It's no wonder, we are all your research subjects, experimental products."
Shen Chuan didn't refute him either.There is no point in explaining at this time.
And Zhou Mingxiao didn't seem to expect his answer, and asked directly: "Do you want to take Lu Xuan away?"
After a few seconds of silence, he nodded. "yes."
His calmness made Zhou Mingxiao grit his teeth angrily, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth. "Don't think about it!"
"I must take him away." Shen Chuan's tone was calm but firm, "I will let him stay by my side forever."
"He's not a dog, he can be tied to a rope for a lifetime!"
"I will not tie him down, I will let him come with me willingly."
He sneered, "Where did you get the confidence?"
"Because I'm the one in his heart."
Zhou Mingxiao didn't make a sound and stared at him without blinking.
"You are Lu Xuan's senior brother, you should know his temper and character."
"He's just too stupid!" Zhou Mingxiao growled angrily, "Go straight to the end."
Shen Chuan nodded and smiled, "But that's what makes him cute, isn't it?"
Having lost the patience to "reminiscing about the old days" with him, Zhou Mingxiao put away his unhappy expression because of the dispute, and Zhou Mingxiao gradually regained his former composure. "I will not let you take Lu Xuan away, whether he is alive or dead."
Shen Chuan didn't comment on this, until the person in front of him suddenly disappeared like air, and he couldn't feel any breath at all.
Then, his arm suddenly hurt in the next second.He frowned, and looked down at the clothes that had been cut open at unknown times, and the four or five inch long wound that suddenly appeared on his arm.
"I'm going to kill you." Zhou Mingxiao who suddenly appeared in the darkness stood behind him and said softly, but he had already moved before he spoke.
Shen Chuan slowly raised his hand to cover his heart, the dagger pierced from behind had penetrated his chest, exposing the tip of the knife, and blood dripped down his fingers...
◇
Lu Xuan almost rushed to the basement, he could feel someone there, just like what Shen Chuan said, he and the tree had already resonated.
Entering the innermost room, besides the tree, he also saw a man standing under the tree.
"Sen!" He yelled, and waited for several seconds for the other party to respond, and turned around slowly.
Turning around, Lu Xuan was stunned, and saw that Sen's right hand was dripping blood. It was little by little at first, but soon connected into a line. It was obviously a small wound, but now it seemed to be a special wound. Cut for bloodletting.
The blood on the ground quickly gathered together, slowly flowed down to the tree, and was sucked clean. The color of the whole tree was even redder than not long ago, as if replenished with blood, the red was dazzling and shocking.
"What are you doing?!" This kind of suicide-like behavior made Lu Xuan want to rush over to give him a few slaps, "That's not the way to fucking court death!"
But Sen looked at him strangely calmly. "Have you made up your mind yet?" He gave him one night to think, and it was time to wrap up.
"Calm down, can you? Don't scare me, can you?!" Lu Xuan almost felt that this person was crazy, at least bloodletting himself was not something a normal person should do.
Without speaking, Sen's expression was as calm as ever, but the blood on his hand was flowing faster and faster, as if being sucked away by something.
He looked at Lu Xuan, who was covered in blood, and smiled slightly. "He saved your life again." If the blood was his, he would be dead.
Lu Xuan could no longer care what he was talking about, watching his blood keep rushing down, his mind was also in a mess.
"Come here first, come here first and stop the bleeding! Can you stop the bleeding? Damn, can you stop dying in front of me one by one!" He begged nicely at first, but couldn't help it at the end He kept roaring out, and his eye sockets were so hot that they hurt.
"No need," Mori looked down at his hands and shook his head slightly. "There is no need for that." In fact, no matter how Lu Xuan chooses, there is only one result for him in the end.
"Why?" Lu Xuan wiped her face and walked towards Sen, "Why do you want to do this?" He always thought that Sen would be that calm and cold-blooded man at any time, not afraid of anything, and didn't care about anything, Even if he died, he would not choose such an extreme method.
Raising his bleeding hand, Sen pressed the wound with his other hand, but the blood soon seeped from between his fingers.Seeing this, he let go of his hands indifferently, glanced at Lu Xuan, then took off his glasses, and said with a tired expression and tone that he had never seen before: "I'm very tired, Lu Xuan, really tired."
He has been more exhausted than anyone else for a long time. He has lived for 30 years, which is less than half of the life of ordinary people, as if he has lived his whole life.
Because his helplessness and boredom were so obvious, Lu Xuan was speechless.
Stretching out his hand to touch his face, Sen put his hand down quickly, and when his eyes met, the two of them seemed to have finished what they wanted to say and what they could say in this instant.
"...Don't you want to live forever?" Finally, Lu Xuan asked.
Without speaking, Sen just smiled, then took Lu Xuan's hand, and turned around for him.
"That's it, you don't need to say goodbye to me, that's fine." He said: "Lu Xuan, I actually want to use you. That man can be unfeeling to all of us, but not to you, as long as you stay here for a day , he will come back sooner or later, after all, this is my selfishness.”
Lu Xuan didn't move, and turned her back obediently to Sen, feeling that the latter was getting farther and farther away from him, and her eyes were getting more and more uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell whether it was because of the tree or because of sadness.
He doesn't care about being used, he can understand Sen, it's not fair to them.
"Why would Shen Chuan--" Halfway through the sentence, he couldn't ask anymore, because this question shouldn't be asked to another person at all.
"Who knows, it's about feelings." Sen's voice was a bit far away, but he was still as calm as before, jokingly said, "Maybe you were together in the previous life, and he came to you again in this life."
Lu Xuan closed her eyes fiercely, just about to turn around——
"Don't turn around!" Sen noticed his movement one step earlier, and said first: "Don't turn around, this will be fine."
"Sen..." He felt his voice tremble.
After looking at Lu Xuan's back with satisfaction for a while, Sen smiled as if relieved, his blood-losing face turned pale.Finally, he took a deep look at Lu Xuan, turned around, and walked towards the tree that exuded a strong color of death.
From experience again and again, he understands that every time a person dies in the organization, the tree can survive for a while. The more and more intense their desires, the shorter and shorter the interval between their deaths.
Life seems to be depreciated, he doesn't know how long he can let the tree live again, how many days?How many hours?even for a few minutes...
The red tree seemed to have predicted it long ago, even the leaves trembled with excitement, and the embryos in the fruit were even more restless. It was clearly the continuation of new life, but it was the cruelest death. One second is like sacrificing everything at stake.
Looking up at the tree, he suddenly thought of a person before sinking completely into darkness.
He didn't know if his feelings for that man were love, maybe he didn't love each other, but they already had a relationship deeper than love.
It might be selfish to say that, but he couldn't give him an answer.
But if they had a second chance to meet, he thought he would seriously consider their relationship, and then, respond to the feelings of his closest partner.
Sorry to keep you waiting, he said in his heart before shedding the last drop of blood.
Chapter9
As a detective, I just want to live a normal life like an ordinary person.
Shen Chuan once said to Mori: "You are a very good leader, a natural leader."
At that time, Mori was 15 years old, and he was almost ready to kill people without blinking an eye. This is not something to be proud of.
When Shen Chuan asked him if he would stay forever, he said, "I will."
Because he has nothing but here.
Except for Shen Chuan, no one may know his origin. The two seem to have reached an agreement from the very beginning. Sen knew that Shen Chuan would leave sooner or later, while Shen Chuan knew that he would be one of the last people to stay in the organization. It may also be the only one, so, except for the special Shang Shan, he took away everyone's memory, leaving only Sen's.
In the end, he also guessed right, Sen kept his promise and stayed here until the last moment.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a dead silence all around, as if everything had stopped.
In Lu Xuan's memory, no one seemed to know Sen, no one knew what his last name was or what his full name was.
When he first met Sen, the latter was probably in his early ten years old, but he had a maturity that did not match his age. At that time, he only felt that this "brother" was quiet and a little scary.
This fear lasted for more than ten years.
Sen has prestige, an innate kind. He may not be the strongest in the organization, but he himself is the most intimidating.
This time, Lu Xuan could only stand stiffly where she was, and could no longer feel the other party's breath, except for the increasingly thick smell of blood.
There was a frighteningly loud heartbeat in my ears, beating heavily like a pulse, as if struggling and roaring.
He didn't dare to look back, he was afraid, and didn't want to see the same picture again, because every time he saw it, it seemed to push him to the limit.
He clutched his chest, feeling as if something was about to rush out there, and his right eye was also very restless, as if clamoring to return to where it belonged.
Lowering his head, he pressed his right eye to suppress the restlessness, but instead of stopping, the feeling became stronger and stronger. Soon, blood dripped down his fingers.
Lu Xuan narrowed her eyes, her right eye was blurred, as if something was slowly gushing out of his body, but she couldn't see clearly.
Dazed, he heard someone laughing, a sharp, hoarse laugh, and then began to call his name.
He stood upright, letting the fluid that looked like tears flow from his eyes, and he thought he might be crying.
He didn't blink until he realized that something was approaching him quickly and fell into a trance, but before he could see clearly, his body was slammed away.
"Lu Xuan, what are you doing?!"
After a roar, Lu Xuan, who was knocked to the ground, sat up in a daze, and saw Qi Shaoyang standing in front of him with an angry face, holding a few red vines that had been torn off, and the cuts were still dripping. Bleeding.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Can't you feel that these things are sucking your blood?" Qi Shaoyang threw away the weird vine in his hand, and walked over angrily.
Lu Xuan touched her neck in a daze and then raised her hand, only to realize that her hand was covered with blood.
"What the hell is this place? What's the matter with you?" Qi Shaoyang squatted in front of him and asked loudly, wanting to touch him, seeing his blood but not knowing where to start.
The air here already made him feel sick, but seeing Lu Xuan's "self-mutilation" behavior, as if possessed by a demon, made him even more uncomfortable.
Lu Xuan was panting, and it took a long time before she fully recovered, raised her head and said to him, "You go." Qi Shaoyang has nothing to do with them, and should not be affected.
"How can I go with you like this?" Qi Shaoyang scolded angrily, and wiped the blood on his face with the hem of his clothes, but found that there was a lot of blood, but there was no wound on his body.
When I was wondering, I heard Lu Xuan answer him with a smile "it's okay, I can't die", then pushed him away, and said "you don't have to care about me so much".
Qi Shaoyang was stunned for a moment and then blurted out, "I like you—"
"No." Lu Xuan quickly interrupted him, "You only did this because of Qi Shaowu."
Immediately, Qi Shaoyang's words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't finish his sentence.
Lu Xuan looked straight at him.He has always understood Qi Shaoyang's feelings, a child who was taken away by his brother since he was a child, wants to take back what belongs to him when he grows up, and even wants to take away what belongs to his brother, whether he likes it or not, needs it or not.
This behavior may seem willful, but it can be said to be uneasy.
"But you're not him, and no matter how much time passes, you won't be the same person."
"...Do you really think that I approached you because of Qi Shaowu?" Qi Shaoyang finally spoke.
Lu Xuan didn't speak.
Moving his lips, Qi Shaoyang looked complicated, as if he was thinking about what to say.Every time he met Lu Xuan, they would quarrel within less than ten words, and it was certain that they broke up, but he didn't care if Lu Xuan scolded him, what he cared about was that he even scolded him because of Qi Shaowu .
"You also said that I am not Qi Shaowu." Looking at the man in front of him, Qi Shaoyang seemed to have matured a lot in an instant, "I am Qi Shaoyang, just an ordinary man who wants to get close to you."
He is not Qi Shaowu, he wants to have the right to love.
Everything he has done so far is just to prove his existence.
Qi Shaowu is his only relative, their fates are different, and their endings are also different. He used to think that Qi Shaowu would stay by his side for the rest of his life, but he was wrong.
Rather than hating the other party, it is better to say that he is unwilling, because now he has used another method to stay by his side, and it can even be said to stay in Lu Xuan's heart.
This point, he thought, no one but his brother would have figured it out.
Thinking of this, he smiled.
And Lu Xuan began to criticize herself because of his words.He always knew that he blamed Qi Shaoyang and treated him as someone to vent his anger on, even though he knew it was unfair to him.
In the end, no one is sorry for anyone.
With a long sigh, he stretched out his hand to caress Qi Shaoyang's face, blood accidentally left on his face.
"I'm sorry." Lu Xuan said, "It's fine, you can do it here, you don't need to do anything for me, and you don't need to help Qi Shaowu do anything for me."
Hearing this, Qi Shaoyang stared at him intently, as if wanting to remember his appearance, and after a long silence, he asked, "Lu Xuan, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Xuan smiled, and patted Qi Shaoyang's head as if looking at her younger brother, "You're not Qi Shaowu, so don't be influenced by him, you don't like me—"
Qi Shaoyang shook his head, "I really like you."
It has nothing to do with Qi Shaowu, it's his own wish, to simply fall in love with someone and have a complete relationship.Qi Shaowu is one half to him, and Lu Xuan is the other half, they are complete when they are together.
Slowly lowering her hand, Lu Xuan looked at him quietly for a while, not knowing what to say for a while.
Looking at the guilt in the eyes of the person in front of him, Qi Shaoyang suddenly felt sore, he put his arms around Lu Xuan's neck, and lowered his head——
Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to push him, but Qi Shaoyang didn't really kiss him, but stopped when he was about to touch his lips.
They looked up at the same time, and found that at some point, Shen Chuan was standing a few meters away from them.
When Lu Xuan saw a large amount of blood on his chest, she was startled, and immediately asked, "Whose blood is that?"
Shen Chuan didn't speak, just looked at them, like an audience watching a "life and death" scene, with no expression on his face, but there was a joke in his eyes.
Qi Shaoyang also stared at Shen Chuan with displeasure on his face.He hated the look in the man's eyes.
But Shen Chuan was not angry.Why are you angry?In his eyes, this angel was just a child who was naive and paranoid, and he knew that Lu Xuan saw him in the same way.
"Whose is it?" Lu Xuan couldn't get an answer, and asked again, then seemed to think of something, her eyes widened, "Where is my brother?"
"You only think about that senior brother of yours." Finally, Shen Chuan spoke, but his words were a little inexplicable.
"What happened to him?" Lu Xuan felt puzzled, but insisted on asking.
"Don't you think he did something to me?" Shen Chuan lowered his eyes and looked at his chest, "Don't worry, this blood is mine."
After taking another look at his injury and thinking that nothing would happen, Lu Xuan asked again: "What about my senior brother?"
This time, Shen Chuan didn't answer, but just shifted his gaze to Qi Shaoyang next to him, and said out of nowhere, "What I promised you, you can start now."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Shaoyang and Lu Xuan were stunned at the same time.
"……real?"
"As long as you are sure." Facing Qi Shaoyang who seemed to have reacted, Shen Chuan replied.
Sensing something was wrong, Lu Xuan's eyes moved back and forth between the two, "What are you talking about?" Then he asked Shen Chuan, "What did you promise him?"
Shen Chuan didn't look at him, and continued on his own, "I promised to let your brother be reborn, but you have to pay the price." His eyes met Qi Shaoyang, "Now, you just
dead... dead again...
"Why?" Slowly raising her head, Lu Xuan looked at Shen Chuan with a somewhat distracted gaze, "Why did you kill him?"
"Because he's going to kill you."
"Maybe he's just hungry!" Lu Xuan roared, and then remained silent, because he himself knew that this reason was ridiculous.
But he didn't have any other explanations, he didn't believe that Fu Lan, who had watched him grow up since childhood, would treat him like this and even kill Liu Huo.
Shen Chuan looked at him blankly for a while, and finally spoke. "Wake up, he feels it. You have the breath of death on you. It's his favorite. It's like a drug addiction. He is no longer the original him. The fire is just the beginning of his killing, and your eyes have The seeds of that tree, as long as the tree sucks blood, you can feel it, and it will naturally emit a breath of death, so he will eat you without hesitation."
"Shut up!" Lu Xuan lowered her head and panted heavily. The wound on her neck has slowly healed, but it still hurts, even worse than when she was bitten.
Shen Chuan paused for a moment, then continued: "He's not a mermaid, but a sea monster. A sea monster without feelings won't really have any dependence or other emotions on anyone. As long as he wants, anyone is his food. "
"Didn't you hear when I told you to shut up?!" Lu Xuan clenched her fists with both hands, slammed the ground hard, then stood up and stumbled out.
"Lu Xuan——" Shen Chuan immediately followed up, grabbed his arm but was thrown away, he held it again, was thrown away again, and for the third time, he lost his patience and directly grabbed Lu Xuan and pulled him over body, let him face himself.
"You old monster! Die! Die, die, die!" Like a lunatic, Lu Xuan beat Shen Chuan indiscriminately, as if she wanted to vent all her long-standing grievances.
Although his life belonged to Shen Chuan, he couldn't let him play with himself like this.
Shen Chuan silently let him vent for a while, and finally grabbed his hand and shouted, "Enough!"
Lu Xuan was forced to stop, panting in a daze, staring at Shen Chuan's chest.
"You are the same as me now." Like the cruelest announcement, Shen Chuan reached out and grabbed the chin of the person in front of him, and reiterated word by word, "You are the same as me now, Lu Xuan, we are the same kind of people."
Tears welled up in her eyes, Lu Xuan gritted her teeth, "Bastard!" Then she cursed again.
"I just don't want you to get hurt." Shen Chuan looked down at Lu Xuan who was already in tears, and said softly, "I don't even want you to hurt, you know?"
The bastard!What are these now? !Turning her head away, Lu Xuan wiped her eyes vigorously, but wiped the blood on her hands and face all over her face, which was absolutely shocking at first glance.
"I know you hate me. It seems that I used you to do experiments, but it's not just because of my whim." Shen Chuan stretched out his hand and gently wiped the blood on his face with his thumb, "We Different from ordinary people, in their eyes we are different, even something that should not exist.”
Lu Xuan looked at him quietly, the blood on her face was wiped off little by little.
"The starting point for doing that experiment was because ordinary humans would not give us living space, and our existence was a threat to them, so why not use our power to get back what we deserve? We should be able to use Live in this world together in your own way.”
Putting down his hands, Shen Chuan hugged Lu Xuan's waist, "I found many supernatural beings to keep experimenting, and finally found that only your genes can perfectly integrate everyone's genes and become the "seed" for cultivating new supernatural beings, but there is no Thinking that the experiment failed, the tree could not give birth to new supernatural beings, but it gave the person who provided the gene a chance to be reborn, maybe this is the so-called "a blessing in disguise."
"Does that count as rebirth?" Lu Xuan snorted coldly, feeling as cold as Shen Chuan's.
Shen Chuan was silent for a while, and then continued, "The first time I knew that tree can bring people back to life is because of Shang Shan." He unconsciously tightened his arms around Lu Xuan's waist. "That's when I really understood that nothing can be created out of nothing in the world, and all gains must be paid for."
Lu Xuan frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Originally, the tree bore fruit like it is now, but no supernatural person was born for a long time. It just kept the fruit. It was not until several members of the organization died during the mission that the few fruits finally matured and fell to the ground. "
"what do you mean……"
Shen Chuan nodded lightly, "Those people are all supernatural beings who provided genes, and after the fruit fell to the ground, the only surviving Shang Shan had exactly the same ability as one of them, but had a little more defect, that is, he didn't have his own The original form, I understood at that time that only death can bring life, so the original appeal of the experiment was a complete failure.”
"In that case, why didn't you destroy that tree?"
"The fruit on that tree is closely related to the supernatural person who provided the gene. Although I am not a good person, I am not so bad that I will endanger their lives despite everything."
"Is it okay to let them be killed by that strange tree one by one?" Lu Xuan couldn't help but sarcastically.
Shen Chuan stared at him, as if he was looking at a child making trouble for no reason, and finally replied softly, "I'm only good enough to dig out the seeds with your genes as the main formula."
Lu Xuan was dumbfounded.Does what this person is saying now mean that he is special to him?
"Although when the seeds were first made, your genes were already set as the basic mother, and they were only responsible for cultivating people with other abilities. In other words, the tree in the future will not cultivate people with your abilities. Naturally, you It will not be in this cycle of life and death. But as the tree got out of control, I don’t know if it will have other adverse reactions, because I don’t want you to have anything to do with that tree, so I dug out the seeds.” Shen Chuan explained without haste.
"But I didn't expect that after digging the seeds, the tree would mutate into a tree that turned against those who provided the genes before finding the seeds, until they died, and then cut off the life-and-death ties between the two, so that the embryos formed could be separated from themselves. Live on."
After listening to his words, almost all the questions were answered, but Lu Xuan didn't feel relieved at all, instead he felt even heavier.
Because he didn't know what to respond to, he could only grab one of the chaotic thoughts floating in his mind and speak out.
"...you, when did you drink your blood for me?" he asked.
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Chuan replied, "The first time we had sex, you woke up and found us kissing." At that time, he made him drink his blood.
He remembered, but... "Why?" Really just wanted him to live?
Shen Chuan hugged him into his arms, and the two leaned together in a natural embrace.
"I'm lonely, Lu Xuan, can you imagine a person living forever? The people around me are getting old little by little, and finally return to the dust. Watching a life slowly disappear, I feel like I am also Then die once."
Thinking about it this way, perhaps there was a small reason why he would do that experiment at that time because of his loneliness.Although it is impossible for others to live forever like him, at least when he is alive, he wants to be accompanied by a little more like him.
Closing his eyes, Shen Chuan's pleasant voice was a little more frustrated, "I don't remember how long it took me to get used to that process, but I got used to it after all, or I became numb."
"What about me?" Lu Xuan asked calmly, "Do you want me to be like you, watching the people around me leave one by one until numb?"
Shen Chuan was silent again, maybe his original intention was not like this, but he still couldn't deny the result.
"I just want you to be with me," he said softly at last, before laughing at himself. "Isn't that selfish?"
Indeed, this is very selfish, but it is the only and most basic requirement for loving someone.
"Why me?" Lu Xuan felt that her vision was a bit blurred, but she still tried to open her eyes wide and listened carefully to every word Shen Chuan said.
And this seems to be a more difficult question to answer. Sweet words or intoxicating love words cannot be used, so Shen Chuan just expressed his true thoughts.
"I was very scared when you ran away. I was afraid that you would know what my purpose was. I don't want to evade responsibility. I just want you to remember me without any resentment. Do you remember? The day I brought you back, you Watching me cry," said here, Shen Chuan raised his lips slightly, raised Lu Xuan's head to let him look at him, "At that time, I thought, why is this child so cute——"
"How old was I then? What were you thinking!" Although the current atmosphere is very serious, when Lu Xuan heard this, she still felt dumbfounded.
"Yes, you are very young, I'm not sure if I can watch you grow up slowly, and I'm not afraid of your doubts about my youthful appearance, but anyway, I gave up that experiment because of you, maybe because of my guilty conscience , so I’m leaving, I’ll give you time and myself, but—” Shen Chuan stretched out his hand and gently stroked his right eye, “I left you the most important thing.”
Lu Xuan was a little dazed.He didn't quite understand if this was Shen Chuanai's way of keeping what he thought was important on him and giving him a life that wouldn't grow old, but it was more like a kind of erosion that made him slowly, Get close to him bit by bit, and finally assimilate with him.
"Do you think I will appreciate you?"
Shen Chuan smiled, "If you knew it, you wouldn't be you." After thinking for a while, he said, "I really thought about it, I will be with you as Shen Chuan, I will make you fall in love with me, and you can't leave me." open me."
"So arrogant." Lu Xuan smiled sarcastically.
"Maybe, but that's necessary." Shen Chuan also smiled self-deprecatingly, then frowned, "But when I found out that you were about to fall in love with Shen Chuan, I felt unwilling."
This feeling of contradiction is very clear to Lu Xuan.
"...Why are you telling me this now? Why did you tell me until today? Why did you say you hadn't seen me when we first met?" He was confused and hesitant because of this person again and again, but Shen Chuan Never admitted anything.
"Because I want to start over with you." Looking at him, Shen Chuan looked serious. "I don't want you to remember the past, I just want to start over with you now."
Without those pasts, Lu Xuan thought that he and Shen Chuan would have had a good start.
Maybe he couldn't convince himself that Shen Chuan fell in love with him as an "experiment" in the past, but during the time he met him after he left, he thought that Shen Chuan had feelings for him, and maybe it was mixed with his past love. Yes, but enough.
Raising his head, he looked at the man who almost changed his life in front of him, "I can start over, but I can't let go of everything now." Because the death of other people is like paving the way for them.
He wasn't sympathetic, but he wouldn't step on the corpses of his companions. Besides, they could all be regarded as his friends.
Shen Chuan frowned.
Seeing his expression, Lu Xuan smiled unrulyly. "Or do you imagine what you said, tie me up with a chain, and then find a place to lock me up as a pet?" He didn't care when he found that the other party showed a somewhat helpless expression, and just continued to ask. "My brother said that although ordinary injuries won't kill me, suffocation can, right?"
A few seconds later, Shen Chuan smiled, "Yes, and if you hurt a vital organ, but you don't have enough time to recover, you will die."
For Lu Xuan, this is good news.
"It turns out that it's not impossible to die—" He laughed twice, looking at Shen Chuan's expression with some complacency.
Knowing what he was thinking, Shen Chuan shook his head helplessly, "When I grow up, I'm not as obedient as before."
Lowering her head and pursing her lips, Lu Xuan felt strange to Shen Chuan about her former self.
The atmosphere became a little delicate for a moment, and the whole world seemed to have nothing but the two of them.
After a while, Lu Xuan broke the silence, "I—" before she spoke, and her eyes suddenly went dark.
"What's wrong?" Shen Chuan immediately supported his precarious body.
Lu Xuan felt that there was a moment of darkness in front of his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by blood red, like dye, which slowly splashed down from his eyes, over and over again——
Shen Chuan raised his chin and frowned slightly. "Did you feel it? Your right eye resonates with that tree. You can feel what it's doing. That's why you kept dreaming about everyone's death."
Lu Xuan closed his eyes hard, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, making him almost out of breath.
"I'll take it out for you now, so you won't be in such pain—" Shen Chuan lowered his voice, as if giving him the most gentle comfort and assurance, and slowly stretched out his hand, but just when he was about to touch Lu Xuan , the other party suddenly backed away. "Lu Xuan?"
"I won't let you take it out so easily!"
"Why? You don't want to—"
Lu Xuan shook her head, resisting the urge to vomit because of the blood in front of her eyes, and said, "I can't make decisions for them. You keep saying that you want them to be born again, but you don't care whether they don't want to live again, or even let them live again. There is no certainty of living once, what do you think of them? Games? If you fail, you can start from scratch? Or—experiments?”
"Lu Xuan!" Shen Chuan shouted.He knew he was wrong, but he still couldn't help being angry when he heard Lu Xuan say this with his own ears.
Lu Xuan stared at him for a while without flinching, and finally ran away without looking back.
Seeing him running away quickly, Shen Chuan frowned first, lowered his head and rubbed his forehead, then he felt relieved as if he remembered something, and smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.
This person's character has been like this since childhood.
Although he is not too young now and many things have changed, he is still the same Lu Xuan in his heart, but he is no longer the child who is holding his hand and timidly following behind him.
Suddenly, he frowned and whispered, "Come out!"
Soon, footsteps came from behind him, approaching a little bit.
Shen Chuan turned around and looked at the person who was slowly coming out of the darkness.
After the other party stopped, he looked at him for a few seconds, and then smiled faintly, "Long time no see."
Shen Chuan looked at him, and hooked his lips, "Yeah, long time no see, you've grown up."
Zhou Mingxiao closed his eyes, and the unsmiling smile disappeared immediately. "But you haven't grown old."
This person is still the same as when he saw it for the first time, no matter how much time has passed, he still knows this even if part of his memory has disappeared.
"You still hate me?" Shen Chuan asked suddenly.
"...Where does this start?"
"You are too smart," Shen Chuan said indifferently, "you have known and seen through many things very early on. Although your ability does not have much room for display, your IQ is very high."
"You seem to have studied me thoroughly?" Zhou Mingxiao raised the corner of his mouth again, and then snorted coldly without waiting for Shen Chuan to say anything. "It's no wonder, we are all your research subjects, experimental products."
Shen Chuan didn't refute him either.There is no point in explaining at this time.
And Zhou Mingxiao didn't seem to expect his answer, and asked directly: "Do you want to take Lu Xuan away?"
After a few seconds of silence, he nodded. "yes."
His calmness made Zhou Mingxiao grit his teeth angrily, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth. "Don't think about it!"
"I must take him away." Shen Chuan's tone was calm but firm, "I will let him stay by my side forever."
"He's not a dog, he can be tied to a rope for a lifetime!"
"I will not tie him down, I will let him come with me willingly."
He sneered, "Where did you get the confidence?"
"Because I'm the one in his heart."
Zhou Mingxiao didn't make a sound and stared at him without blinking.
"You are Lu Xuan's senior brother, you should know his temper and character."
"He's just too stupid!" Zhou Mingxiao growled angrily, "Go straight to the end."
Shen Chuan nodded and smiled, "But that's what makes him cute, isn't it?"
Having lost the patience to "reminiscing about the old days" with him, Zhou Mingxiao put away his unhappy expression because of the dispute, and Zhou Mingxiao gradually regained his former composure. "I will not let you take Lu Xuan away, whether he is alive or dead."
Shen Chuan didn't comment on this, until the person in front of him suddenly disappeared like air, and he couldn't feel any breath at all.
Then, his arm suddenly hurt in the next second.He frowned, and looked down at the clothes that had been cut open at unknown times, and the four or five inch long wound that suddenly appeared on his arm.
"I'm going to kill you." Zhou Mingxiao who suddenly appeared in the darkness stood behind him and said softly, but he had already moved before he spoke.
Shen Chuan slowly raised his hand to cover his heart, the dagger pierced from behind had penetrated his chest, exposing the tip of the knife, and blood dripped down his fingers...
◇
Lu Xuan almost rushed to the basement, he could feel someone there, just like what Shen Chuan said, he and the tree had already resonated.
Entering the innermost room, besides the tree, he also saw a man standing under the tree.
"Sen!" He yelled, and waited for several seconds for the other party to respond, and turned around slowly.
Turning around, Lu Xuan was stunned, and saw that Sen's right hand was dripping blood. It was little by little at first, but soon connected into a line. It was obviously a small wound, but now it seemed to be a special wound. Cut for bloodletting.
The blood on the ground quickly gathered together, slowly flowed down to the tree, and was sucked clean. The color of the whole tree was even redder than not long ago, as if replenished with blood, the red was dazzling and shocking.
"What are you doing?!" This kind of suicide-like behavior made Lu Xuan want to rush over to give him a few slaps, "That's not the way to fucking court death!"
But Sen looked at him strangely calmly. "Have you made up your mind yet?" He gave him one night to think, and it was time to wrap up.
"Calm down, can you? Don't scare me, can you?!" Lu Xuan almost felt that this person was crazy, at least bloodletting himself was not something a normal person should do.
Without speaking, Sen's expression was as calm as ever, but the blood on his hand was flowing faster and faster, as if being sucked away by something.
He looked at Lu Xuan, who was covered in blood, and smiled slightly. "He saved your life again." If the blood was his, he would be dead.
Lu Xuan could no longer care what he was talking about, watching his blood keep rushing down, his mind was also in a mess.
"Come here first, come here first and stop the bleeding! Can you stop the bleeding? Damn, can you stop dying in front of me one by one!" He begged nicely at first, but couldn't help it at the end He kept roaring out, and his eye sockets were so hot that they hurt.
"No need," Mori looked down at his hands and shook his head slightly. "There is no need for that." In fact, no matter how Lu Xuan chooses, there is only one result for him in the end.
"Why?" Lu Xuan wiped her face and walked towards Sen, "Why do you want to do this?" He always thought that Sen would be that calm and cold-blooded man at any time, not afraid of anything, and didn't care about anything, Even if he died, he would not choose such an extreme method.
Raising his bleeding hand, Sen pressed the wound with his other hand, but the blood soon seeped from between his fingers.Seeing this, he let go of his hands indifferently, glanced at Lu Xuan, then took off his glasses, and said with a tired expression and tone that he had never seen before: "I'm very tired, Lu Xuan, really tired."
He has been more exhausted than anyone else for a long time. He has lived for 30 years, which is less than half of the life of ordinary people, as if he has lived his whole life.
Because his helplessness and boredom were so obvious, Lu Xuan was speechless.
Stretching out his hand to touch his face, Sen put his hand down quickly, and when his eyes met, the two of them seemed to have finished what they wanted to say and what they could say in this instant.
"...Don't you want to live forever?" Finally, Lu Xuan asked.
Without speaking, Sen just smiled, then took Lu Xuan's hand, and turned around for him.
"That's it, you don't need to say goodbye to me, that's fine." He said: "Lu Xuan, I actually want to use you. That man can be unfeeling to all of us, but not to you, as long as you stay here for a day , he will come back sooner or later, after all, this is my selfishness.”
Lu Xuan didn't move, and turned her back obediently to Sen, feeling that the latter was getting farther and farther away from him, and her eyes were getting more and more uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell whether it was because of the tree or because of sadness.
He doesn't care about being used, he can understand Sen, it's not fair to them.
"Why would Shen Chuan--" Halfway through the sentence, he couldn't ask anymore, because this question shouldn't be asked to another person at all.
"Who knows, it's about feelings." Sen's voice was a bit far away, but he was still as calm as before, jokingly said, "Maybe you were together in the previous life, and he came to you again in this life."
Lu Xuan closed her eyes fiercely, just about to turn around——
"Don't turn around!" Sen noticed his movement one step earlier, and said first: "Don't turn around, this will be fine."
"Sen..." He felt his voice tremble.
After looking at Lu Xuan's back with satisfaction for a while, Sen smiled as if relieved, his blood-losing face turned pale.Finally, he took a deep look at Lu Xuan, turned around, and walked towards the tree that exuded a strong color of death.
From experience again and again, he understands that every time a person dies in the organization, the tree can survive for a while. The more and more intense their desires, the shorter and shorter the interval between their deaths.
Life seems to be depreciated, he doesn't know how long he can let the tree live again, how many days?How many hours?even for a few minutes...
The red tree seemed to have predicted it long ago, even the leaves trembled with excitement, and the embryos in the fruit were even more restless. It was clearly the continuation of new life, but it was the cruelest death. One second is like sacrificing everything at stake.
Looking up at the tree, he suddenly thought of a person before sinking completely into darkness.
He didn't know if his feelings for that man were love, maybe he didn't love each other, but they already had a relationship deeper than love.
It might be selfish to say that, but he couldn't give him an answer.
But if they had a second chance to meet, he thought he would seriously consider their relationship, and then, respond to the feelings of his closest partner.
Sorry to keep you waiting, he said in his heart before shedding the last drop of blood.
Chapter9
As a detective, I just want to live a normal life like an ordinary person.
Shen Chuan once said to Mori: "You are a very good leader, a natural leader."
At that time, Mori was 15 years old, and he was almost ready to kill people without blinking an eye. This is not something to be proud of.
When Shen Chuan asked him if he would stay forever, he said, "I will."
Because he has nothing but here.
Except for Shen Chuan, no one may know his origin. The two seem to have reached an agreement from the very beginning. Sen knew that Shen Chuan would leave sooner or later, while Shen Chuan knew that he would be one of the last people to stay in the organization. It may also be the only one, so, except for the special Shang Shan, he took away everyone's memory, leaving only Sen's.
In the end, he also guessed right, Sen kept his promise and stayed here until the last moment.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a dead silence all around, as if everything had stopped.
In Lu Xuan's memory, no one seemed to know Sen, no one knew what his last name was or what his full name was.
When he first met Sen, the latter was probably in his early ten years old, but he had a maturity that did not match his age. At that time, he only felt that this "brother" was quiet and a little scary.
This fear lasted for more than ten years.
Sen has prestige, an innate kind. He may not be the strongest in the organization, but he himself is the most intimidating.
This time, Lu Xuan could only stand stiffly where she was, and could no longer feel the other party's breath, except for the increasingly thick smell of blood.
There was a frighteningly loud heartbeat in my ears, beating heavily like a pulse, as if struggling and roaring.
He didn't dare to look back, he was afraid, and didn't want to see the same picture again, because every time he saw it, it seemed to push him to the limit.
He clutched his chest, feeling as if something was about to rush out there, and his right eye was also very restless, as if clamoring to return to where it belonged.
Lowering his head, he pressed his right eye to suppress the restlessness, but instead of stopping, the feeling became stronger and stronger. Soon, blood dripped down his fingers.
Lu Xuan narrowed her eyes, her right eye was blurred, as if something was slowly gushing out of his body, but she couldn't see clearly.
Dazed, he heard someone laughing, a sharp, hoarse laugh, and then began to call his name.
He stood upright, letting the fluid that looked like tears flow from his eyes, and he thought he might be crying.
He didn't blink until he realized that something was approaching him quickly and fell into a trance, but before he could see clearly, his body was slammed away.
"Lu Xuan, what are you doing?!"
After a roar, Lu Xuan, who was knocked to the ground, sat up in a daze, and saw Qi Shaoyang standing in front of him with an angry face, holding a few red vines that had been torn off, and the cuts were still dripping. Bleeding.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Can't you feel that these things are sucking your blood?" Qi Shaoyang threw away the weird vine in his hand, and walked over angrily.
Lu Xuan touched her neck in a daze and then raised her hand, only to realize that her hand was covered with blood.
"What the hell is this place? What's the matter with you?" Qi Shaoyang squatted in front of him and asked loudly, wanting to touch him, seeing his blood but not knowing where to start.
The air here already made him feel sick, but seeing Lu Xuan's "self-mutilation" behavior, as if possessed by a demon, made him even more uncomfortable.
Lu Xuan was panting, and it took a long time before she fully recovered, raised her head and said to him, "You go." Qi Shaoyang has nothing to do with them, and should not be affected.
"How can I go with you like this?" Qi Shaoyang scolded angrily, and wiped the blood on his face with the hem of his clothes, but found that there was a lot of blood, but there was no wound on his body.
When I was wondering, I heard Lu Xuan answer him with a smile "it's okay, I can't die", then pushed him away, and said "you don't have to care about me so much".
Qi Shaoyang was stunned for a moment and then blurted out, "I like you—"
"No." Lu Xuan quickly interrupted him, "You only did this because of Qi Shaowu."
Immediately, Qi Shaoyang's words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't finish his sentence.
Lu Xuan looked straight at him.He has always understood Qi Shaoyang's feelings, a child who was taken away by his brother since he was a child, wants to take back what belongs to him when he grows up, and even wants to take away what belongs to his brother, whether he likes it or not, needs it or not.
This behavior may seem willful, but it can be said to be uneasy.
"But you're not him, and no matter how much time passes, you won't be the same person."
"...Do you really think that I approached you because of Qi Shaowu?" Qi Shaoyang finally spoke.
Lu Xuan didn't speak.
Moving his lips, Qi Shaoyang looked complicated, as if he was thinking about what to say.Every time he met Lu Xuan, they would quarrel within less than ten words, and it was certain that they broke up, but he didn't care if Lu Xuan scolded him, what he cared about was that he even scolded him because of Qi Shaowu .
"You also said that I am not Qi Shaowu." Looking at the man in front of him, Qi Shaoyang seemed to have matured a lot in an instant, "I am Qi Shaoyang, just an ordinary man who wants to get close to you."
He is not Qi Shaowu, he wants to have the right to love.
Everything he has done so far is just to prove his existence.
Qi Shaowu is his only relative, their fates are different, and their endings are also different. He used to think that Qi Shaowu would stay by his side for the rest of his life, but he was wrong.
Rather than hating the other party, it is better to say that he is unwilling, because now he has used another method to stay by his side, and it can even be said to stay in Lu Xuan's heart.
This point, he thought, no one but his brother would have figured it out.
Thinking of this, he smiled.
And Lu Xuan began to criticize herself because of his words.He always knew that he blamed Qi Shaoyang and treated him as someone to vent his anger on, even though he knew it was unfair to him.
In the end, no one is sorry for anyone.
With a long sigh, he stretched out his hand to caress Qi Shaoyang's face, blood accidentally left on his face.
"I'm sorry." Lu Xuan said, "It's fine, you can do it here, you don't need to do anything for me, and you don't need to help Qi Shaowu do anything for me."
Hearing this, Qi Shaoyang stared at him intently, as if wanting to remember his appearance, and after a long silence, he asked, "Lu Xuan, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Xuan smiled, and patted Qi Shaoyang's head as if looking at her younger brother, "You're not Qi Shaowu, so don't be influenced by him, you don't like me—"
Qi Shaoyang shook his head, "I really like you."
It has nothing to do with Qi Shaowu, it's his own wish, to simply fall in love with someone and have a complete relationship.Qi Shaowu is one half to him, and Lu Xuan is the other half, they are complete when they are together.
Slowly lowering her hand, Lu Xuan looked at him quietly for a while, not knowing what to say for a while.
Looking at the guilt in the eyes of the person in front of him, Qi Shaoyang suddenly felt sore, he put his arms around Lu Xuan's neck, and lowered his head——
Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to push him, but Qi Shaoyang didn't really kiss him, but stopped when he was about to touch his lips.
They looked up at the same time, and found that at some point, Shen Chuan was standing a few meters away from them.
When Lu Xuan saw a large amount of blood on his chest, she was startled, and immediately asked, "Whose blood is that?"
Shen Chuan didn't speak, just looked at them, like an audience watching a "life and death" scene, with no expression on his face, but there was a joke in his eyes.
Qi Shaoyang also stared at Shen Chuan with displeasure on his face.He hated the look in the man's eyes.
But Shen Chuan was not angry.Why are you angry?In his eyes, this angel was just a child who was naive and paranoid, and he knew that Lu Xuan saw him in the same way.
"Whose is it?" Lu Xuan couldn't get an answer, and asked again, then seemed to think of something, her eyes widened, "Where is my brother?"
"You only think about that senior brother of yours." Finally, Shen Chuan spoke, but his words were a little inexplicable.
"What happened to him?" Lu Xuan felt puzzled, but insisted on asking.
"Don't you think he did something to me?" Shen Chuan lowered his eyes and looked at his chest, "Don't worry, this blood is mine."
After taking another look at his injury and thinking that nothing would happen, Lu Xuan asked again: "What about my senior brother?"
