Chapter 214: Help From Old Friends, Will Never Give Up

When you open your eyes, you will see a store that is both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

"You're awake! Wutong!"

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came to my ears.

Wutong turned his head and looked at the girl in front of him who was wagging her tail. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said hello: "Long time no see, Felice."

"Meow? Long time no see? Didn't we just meet in the morning?" The girl scratched her head, confused.

"Oh? Really? Sorry, I may have been confused." Wutong pinched his eyebrows. He seemed to have a headache because he didn't sleep well.

"Are you okay? Why do I feel that your mental state is not very good?! Did Dr. Mei do something to you again?" Phyllis tilted her head and said worriedly, "Strange, why do I feel like there's something wrong with you? Is it the same?"

"Mei didn't do anything to me, so don't worry about it." Wutong said coldly.

"real?"

"..."

Seeing that Wutong had returned to his usual indifferent attitude towards her, Felice said angrily: "Humph! I'm ignoring you! You bad guy! I'm going to go play with Pado, you know where Pado is?" Where is it? I need her to help me find a baby."

"I don't know, maybe you can go to Sakura's place and have a look."

"I know, I'll come back as soon as I go. You have to help me take care of the store! This is your punishment! Don't leave! And don't sleep in again!" Felice warned worriedly.

"Yes." Wutong responded softly and said, "You can go in peace."

Wutong watched Felice leave quietly, and the world around him kept "twisting" and "folding" as she went away, but Wutong was indifferent, and his expression looked a little dull. It seems that no changes in the environment have been detected.

The living are passers-by, and the dead are returnees.

Heaven and earth have gone against each other, sharing the same sorrow for eternity.

"What are you thinking about?" Eden's calm, soothing voice sounded from the left side of Wutong.

The surrounding environment unknowingly turned into a luxurious room, which seemed to be the backstage of a concert, but it was very quiet outside and no noise from the audience could be heard.

Wutong came back to his senses and smiled: "I'm thinking about what I need to do to pursue you."

"Oh? This really doesn't seem like something you can say." Eden said in surprise. She turned around and mixed a glass of wine for Wutong.

Even though she was surprised, Eden's speech speed and hand movements were still slow. For someone who was not familiar with her, it would be difficult to think that she was surprised.

"It's just what's in my heart." Wutong explained calmly.

"The you I know would not think about such things in your heart." Eden gently shook the shaker in his hand and said, "I am happy for you that you can think about girls, my friend. .”

"Actually, I used to occasionally think about what life would be like after marriage, but I just didn't have time to communicate with people. You know, in the past, I always made a full schedule." Wutong took over Eden. He handed over the wine glass and praised, "You are still so virtuous and considerate, and you can always make drinks that suit people's moods and tastes. Maybe no one can match you except me."

Eden didn't pay attention to his words, nor was she happy to hear the praise. She had heard too many compliments. Although Wutong's praise was rare, it was not unique.

She said calmly: "What happened? Can you tell me? Just now, the difference between your temperament one second and the next second was so big that I almost thought you became the Herrscher."

Wutong closed his eyes and took a sip of the mixed wine that smelled rich but tasted spicy and bitter. After a while, he opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Maybe... I have really become a Herrscher."

"Is that so? It seems that Dr. Mei will be very happy in the days to come."

Eden sat back on the soft sofa, raised her slender and beautiful legs with an elegant posture, and she said calmly: "In the past, I definitely didn't believe that you would become a Herrscher, and I couldn't imagine what you would look like after becoming a Herrscher. But this world is really wonderful. When I see you now, I believe it and understand it."

"Yes, nothing is impossible." Wutong said with emotion.

"Um……"

Eden seemed to have discovered something at this time, and for a moment, she suddenly realized.

"Will you become the Herrscher?" Eden asked.

"Who knows."

"You seem to have experienced life after marriage?" Eden asked curiously.

Wutong saw a gossipy look on Eden's face for the first time. Sure enough, nothing was impossible in this world.

"I have experienced it." Wutong admitted.

"how do you feel?"

"It's better to be single." Wutong pondered for a moment and said, "But it's not bad either."

"It seems you love your wife very much." Eden smiled.

"That's it, she is far inferior to you."

"But you love her more, don't you?"

Wutong sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, it's been so long, how can we leave? Just make do with it."

"Um...can you tell me who she is?"

"cherry."

The smile on Eden's face froze instantly. She stayed for a moment and sighed: "This is really... something even more incredible than you becoming a Herrscher..."

"No, no, no, what's even more incredible is that she was the one who pursued me in the first place." Wutong shook the wine glass in his hand and smiled.

"No, this is normal. If you are not the one being pursued, you will not be able to marry Sakura, my friend."

"..."

"...Same." Wutong is still very self-aware.

After speaking, the two looked at each other speechlessly, and the atmosphere fell into silence.

A moment.

Eden said: "Is it time?"

"Um...thank you, Eden."

I don’t know when Eden’s figure began to fade.

"It's nothing, it's what I should do... But, what I didn't expect was that I would feel regret in my heart. I really want to know more about the future..."

Before Eden finished speaking, her figure disappeared. Her expression was always so calm and calm, and her speaking speed was always so slow and peaceful. It would be better if she could speak faster. .

However, it is remarkable that Eden has survived for so long.

Wutong stared at the broken goblet in his hand and murmured: "If you feel sorry, then live."

After seeing each other again, we meet again.

I have the same dream with you several times.

"What did you say?"

Put your hands down and raise your head.

Wutong observed the surrounding laboratory that he still felt very familiar to after so many years. Then he looked at Mei, who was frowning in front of him, and said lightly: "It's nothing, doctor."

"?"

"You are... wrong!" Mei pushed her eyes, and after glancing around, she hesitated, "I am... what?"

"..." Wutong didn't answer.

"I'm asking you something! Didn't you hear me?" Mei said rudely.

"I'm deaf, can't you see?" Wutong replied.

"can not tell."

"Treat your eyes." Wutong advised kindly.

"Let me treat your brain first." Mei tore up the lab report in her hand and threw it in his face.

Few people know that Dr. Mei, who always behaves strong and gentle in front of everyone, has such an attitude when facing Wutong.

People are indeed multi-faceted.

Wutong doesn't mind the content of the experiment report. What appears here at this moment must be something he knows.

"I advise you to be careful what you say. I am no longer what I used to be." Wutong threatened, "Believe it or not, I will spank you."

"Ha, you don't dare to bully the real Mei, so you come to bully me? As expected of you, your character is still as bad as ever after so many years." Mei sneered.

"Hmm... no, since you threaten me like this, it seems... it's not that you don't dare to bully Mei, but that you can't bully me anymore... I'm... dead?"

"Well, I'm exhausted."

"This... is such a sad way to die." Mei said in a daze, "In this case, it seems that mankind has been completely defeated... Have you found a way to defeat Honkai in the next civilization era?"

"found it."

"Thank you for your hard work, do you need me to do anything else for you?"

"No need, you've done enough."

After hearing this, Mei took off her eyes and said with a smile: "It seems that things are really different now! It's getting late. Farewell, Wutong."

"It's still early, why don't we chat for a while?" Wutong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you interested in the future?"

"I don't want to leave the show in a way that makes you mad, let alone being spanked by you. Besides, what's the point of being interested? I'll be gone soon! So forget it, I won't add any burden to you. Yes...well...thank you for your efforts over the years, thank you..."

After Mei finished speaking, she waved her hand to him, turned around and disappeared. She seemed decisive and free, but Wutong could see her reluctance.

As Mei disappeared, the laboratory that once made Wutong feel depressed also disappeared.

Even if the dead bones are fragrant, he is worthy of his heroic appearance.

The so-called beauty is on the water side.

The surrounding environment becomes very open, and people's mood also becomes very open.

Wutong stands on an endless lake, and the lake in the distance seems to be connected to the horizon.

Although the lake is boundless, the location of Wutong feels like it is the most central point.

Wutong noticed something. He lowered his head and looked down. His reflection in the water also made the same movement.

"Hello." Wutong greeted him friendly.

"..." But Wutong's reflection did not open his mouth to speak.

Seeing this, Wutong bent down and stretched out his hand to him. Reflection hesitated for a moment, but chose to be pulled up by Wutong.

After Wutong's shadow emerged from the water, he said in confusion, "Who are you?"

"I am you." Wutong replied.

"Who am I?" Shadow continued to ask.

"you are me."

"..."

Shao Yan.

The shadow that inherited Wutong's memory gradually realized what he was and how he existed.

"Am I you? Are you my inner demon?" Shadow probed.

Wutong shook his head ruthlessly.

Shadow and Wutong looked at each other for a long time, and he suddenly burst into laughter, and the laughter became louder and louder. He held his belly and laughed until tears flowed out, almost crazy.

"Hahaha~ I am indeed you! I am the consciousness of the Herrscher! Hahaha~ The Herrscher! I am actually the Lawyer

By! Ha ha! ! ! "

"..."

At some point, the Herrscher's conscious laughter gradually disappeared. He stretched out his right hand and stared at his slender white fingers. He didn't know what he was thinking. Then, he suddenly inserted his right hand into his chest and crushed it. own heart.

Wutong's Herrscher's consciousness shed tears of blood, and he spit out blood uncontrollably.

He smiled and said: "Avenge me."

"good."

When the Herrscher heard the words, his body suddenly exploded, and the coquettish blood was like a beautiful flower, instantly blooming.

Wutong did not stop him. If he had the consciousness of the Herrscher, he would also choose to do this.

Wutong respects his choice because it also respects his own choice.

The top of the head is clear and spotless;

The feet are blue and as transparent as a mirror.

Flowers bloom for thousands of years and fall in an instant;

There was him on one side and no one on the other side.

…

After an unknown amount of time, Wutong finally took another step forward. Taking the place where he stepped as a point, a piece of white nothingness spread rapidly to the surroundings. "Colorless" purified all the scenery and even froze time.

Wutong raised his head, put one hand behind his back, straightened his waist, looked at the colorless figure in front of him who looked exactly like him, and even stood in the same posture, and said with a smile: "It's not easy! Finally! Let me catch you, Benkai Will."

"..."

The being named Honkai Will seems speechless, but Wutong can understand his unique thoughts that are different from human thinking.

A large amount of knowledge and information was forcibly poured into Wutong's mind, but he did not receive or think about it. The knowledge seemed to have been blocked and sealed by him by some means.

"It's been a long time indeed." Wutong said with a smile.

"..."

"Another me? Haha. In a sense, you are right to say that. All humans are another you, right? However, I am curious, is the other side of human civilization just a part of you? ? Well...what does the Herrscher consciousness have to do with your current way of existence..."

"..."

"It's very impolite to interrupt someone else. Oh, sorry, I forgot, you are not polite at all. Well...I see...that's how it is...tsk...

"I have been struggling to explore what you are before, and now, I finally figured it out... It seems that I still have to meet you, and the idea of ​​guessing is always not good.

"It turns out...it's just like that, haha~

"We should probably change your name. Well... that's not right. The name Honkai Will really suits you very well."

"...

"..."

"What? Did I hear it right? Deal? Join forces? Haha~ I think it is more appropriate to say that I am being used by you, right? But, don't you think it's a bit late? Moreover, even if the time is right, do you think I will Cooperate with you?

"You know how I am, I don't care about my deeds but my heart. The things you have done have made the relationship between you and me irreconcilable and irreconcilable."

"..."

"Haha, really? You are really confident! Oh, by the way, this is not called confidence. What you said is the truth. Well...it seems that my way of thinking still needs to be practiced.

"I know you are not interested in gambling, and neither am I, but let's take a gamble and see if I will become your lackey in the future.

"As for it's not too late... maybe you're right, because you're smarter than me... Since you said it's not too late... don't you think it's a bit early?"

"..."

"But I think it's a little too early. Hey... I really hate chatting with you. It gives me a headache. Let's meet again in 500 years. By then, we should see each other in another way. Goodbye.

"Oh, by the way, before I leave, let me say a few words to you one last time."

A complex and strange pattern appeared on Wutong's eyes.

"I swear here in the name of Wutong: I voluntarily maintain and defend human civilization, put people first, do my best to defeat the collapse, eliminate the pain of mankind, never compromise, explain the truth with the sword of my hand, and be worthy of the world. I am willing , and strive for this for the rest of his life.”

The patterns in Wutong's eyes disappeared little by little, as if they had never existed before. This time he exited the state of "artificial collapse" and did not close his eyes.

"..."

"Haha, there is nothing to be reluctant to part with. In this case, I can be regarded as the last link with the fusion warrior and say goodbye.

"Goodbye." Wutong said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, the colorless "world" suddenly collapsed.

…

early morning.

The local birds are moving in the front forest, and the morning light is shining in the east room.

Sakura, who had been taught by Wutong all night, had just taken a nap and rested for about half an hour when she was woken up by a very small sound.

She stretched out her white arms, rubbed her eyes, and then looked at her husband, who was sitting at the table, wearing pajamas, crossing his legs, and playing with a beautiful pink "top."

"Sorry, I didn't expect this sound to wake you up."

Sakura wrapped herself in a quilt, stood up, and leaned lazily on the head of the bed. She looked at the "gyro" on the table, frowned and asked, "What is this?"

Wutong slapped the "gyro" on the table to make it stop spinning, then threw it to his wife and said: "The Herrscher Core."

Sakura took this one

After looking at the beautiful pink gem, he looked at it and said, "What core? Where did you get it?"

"I cultivated it with my own body." Wutong explained.

"What?! Who told you..."

"Is it beautiful?" Wutong gently interrupted Sakura's question.

At this time, Sakura was keenly aware that her husband's mood contained a hint of loneliness that was almost never seen in daily life. She was slightly startled, then looked at the gem in her hand, and said honestly: "Beautiful..."

"If you like it, I'll give it to you. Don't you want to become a Herrscher? Don't you want to become stronger? It will belong to you from now on."

"I won't..."

"Don't worry, this gem is extremely pure, and all the hidden dangers have been solved by me. However, if you want to become a Herrscher, you still need to cultivate it patiently for a while." Wutong's face showed his usual expression again. A familiar smile.

"I didn't mean that!" Sakura said hurriedly, "I can't have it!"

"There's nothing I can't ask for. Just take it if it's given to you. If you feel it's hot to hold, just think of a way to satisfy me tonight." Wutong said with a smile.

"Bah! You're dreaming!" Ying Qian said, her expression looking very cute and fierce, "Didn't you say that I don't have the qualifications to become a Herrscher? So, I don't want this thing, and I won't eat what I come for. "

Sakura has a lot of backbone.

"You and I have been together for more than four thousand years. Your body will not have any rejection reaction to it. Through this core, you can become a Herrscher."

"Then I don't want it!"

Sakura is very strong-willed.

"Ha~ don't just smash it, I won't become the Herrscher, because I really don't look down on the Herrscher." Wutong chuckled and added, "Of course, except for the end, because she is really awesome. "

"..."

Seeing that his wife was stunned and seemed to be thinking about what he meant, Wutong stood up and said, "Are you hungry?! I'll go get Lin to prepare some food for you. Only when you're full can you have the strength to smash things. .”

"..."

After Wutong left for a moment, Sakura came back to her senses. She looked at the gem in her hand with a complicated expression, silently.

"Are you really going to smash it? It's so beautiful, it's such a pity... It must have been in my husband's body for a long time, right? It's not appropriate to give it to others... No! I can't give it to anyone else! Don't even think about it. Touch the treasure he cultivated!

"Well... there's nothing I can't ask for. Wutong is my husband-in-law, and I owe him enough. I won't miss this one."

Thinking of this, Sakura suddenly felt that the gem in her hand was getting more and more beautiful and shining.

This gem can be regarded as the most thoughtful gift Wutong gave her. Thinking about it like this, how could Sakura not want it? I can’t live up to my husband’s good intentions!

She couldn't put it down and played with the Herrscher core. Suddenly, Sakura felt that she seemed a little spineless...

"Forget it... If you don't have spine, then you have no spine... Although I have no spine, my physical fitness can become stronger...

"Haha~ I told you to be tough! I told you to give me the Herrscher Core! When I become stronger, look at how I will tease you!"

Sakura feels that her family throne is coming back.
