Chapter 2446 When Did the Moon First Shine on People?
Tick~tick!
The blood drops dripped from the fingertips, and the sound of hitting the ground was very clear.
It was like knocking on the door of the heart with fingers.
But this question was really ironic.
"Do you still want to ask why?" Lou Jiangyue sat there, like a piece of frozen meat stuck in the ice storage, frost all over the inside and outside, and she had already died: "When did I want to live?"
If she could commit suicide, she would not exist.
But Lou Jiangyue could never kill herself. Once she really wanted to put this idea into practice, Yuantu would dominate her will, making her sober in the killing and awakened in the blood.
And the price of "awakening" was too heavy. It was the cat she had raised for many years, and the nanny who had raised her for many years... so that she dared not touch it again.
"At least... for a while." Lou Yue said with some difficulty.
Lou Jiangyue did not speak.
"I watched the moon all night last night." Lou Yue's voice was complicated: "There was a moment when I really wanted you to tell Shang Shuyi everything. But you actually held on."
Lou Jiangyue's voice was very monotonous, monotonous with only indifference: "Tell him what."
"Say I'm not worthy of being your father, say I deserve to die." Lou Yue grinned unsightly: "Say the current head of the Yingtian Lou family, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, the Privy Councilor of the Military Affairs Building... once communicated with the devil?"
If this sentence were to spread, the entire Central Empire would be shaken in an instant!
In the court, no one of the dignitaries and officials of Tiandu could sit firmly!
But such a terrifying news, after all, only sounded in the silent prison cell.
Lonely and no one listened.
"Are you saying this to me, or to yourself?" Lou Jiangyue used his blood-stained fingers to smear meaninglessly on the ground: "Or change the question-you are so anxious to transfer me out of the Imperial Censorate, are you really worried about your daughter, or are you worried about what I will really say?"
Lou Yue lowered his eyes. He still stood there, still tall, but seemed to have aged a lot.
"I don't know whether to let you be free, or let you continue to suffer in the name of love."
He pulled his mouth: "The saddest thing is your question, I really can't tell. Jiang Yue, what kind of person is your father?"
"You should ask others this question. The Central Empire will give you a fair answer." Lou Jiangyue remained indifferent: "The head of the Yingtian Lou family, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, the privy envoy of the Military Affairs Building... maybe we should add a 'Taojun'?"
How could someone like Lou Yue be troubled by "what kind of person am I"?
He was troubled by how his daughter saw him.
But he couldn't tell whether this trouble was out of guilt or love. Maybe they were the same thing?
And he just asked: "You have been in prison these days, how do you know...Taojun?"
Lou Jiangyue glanced at him: "I heard that Zong Dezhen died, and you just chose to reach the top at this time, and Ouyang Jie gave you so much face."
"You are still so smart." Lou Yue said.
"Now if you say you are in touch with the devil, no one will believe it." Lou Jiangyue laughed and mocked: "Besides, you have returned to the right path and have the trust of the emperor."
"But Shang Shuyi will confirm all this and put an end to it." Lou Yue said.
Shang Shuyi is a person who is determined to correct all mistakes and take this as his way. He will not pretend that nothing happened just because the emperor helped to cover it up. He will not let time wash away the truth. He will definitely lift the lid.
"Are you really willing to give up what you have now and what you are about to have, Lord Lou?" Lou Jiangyue asked.
"If giving up something can make you return to normal, I will spare no effort." Lou Yue looked at her: "If everything can start over, I will not let you become like this. Jiangyue."
"What should I do?" Lou Jiangyue's eyes were calm and calm: "Let my sister become like this?"
Lou Yue was silent.
Silence is the frost of words.
When Yuan Tu entered his life, he was forced out of his destiny, but fell into his bloodline. He had to choose one between his two daughters. He chose to let his sister bear it.
This is the source of all the pain today.
He wanted to start over without having to make another choice. But Lou Jiangyue's pain is - "Why me?"
If he could do it again, what would this father choose?
"Your best choice now is to kill me." Lou Jiangyue looked at him and said, "Kill me, and the past will stay in the past forever - letting me live until now is the biggest mistake in your life."
"... Let you become like this." Lou Yue said.
Lou Jiangyue didn't speak for a while.
Who would have thought? The person who once worshipped the Demon-Slaying Covenant became friends with the Seven Hate Demon Lord in the experience outside the sky. They once drank and talked happily, became close friends, and sang all night!
That friendship may be real. In the end, the Seven Hate Demon Lord spent a huge price to plant the fate of Yuan Tu in Lou Yue, wanting to lead him to the Tomb of Ten Thousand Worlds, become a demon, or even the ninth demon lord outside the eight demon lords.
He expelled Yuan Tu with his outstanding will and strength, but this tragedy was passed on to the bloodline and fell on Lou Jiangyue.
The most tragic thing is not that you suffer because of your choice.
It is that you have no choice but to endure it all.
Lou Jiangyue was born like this. It is not that she wants to kill people, nor is she vicious and bloodthirsty. She is just a patient. This is a disease she was born with!
"Where is my sister?" Lou Jiangyue asked.
"She is waiting for news at home." Lou Yue paused and mentioned the other daughter with some caution, fearing that the wound would be touched again: "...make some medicine for you."
Lou Jiangyue lowered her eyes: "I've had enough of those useless medicines."
"I've had enough of doctors who can't cure me."
"I can no longer stay in a cold and damp room, like a mouse that has never seen the light of day."
"You are working on this day after day, repeating tired and useless efforts. It seems that I am dragging Lou down."
She raised her head, the expression on her face was frozen by the frost: "But is all this my fault?"
"Of course not, you never had a choice." Lou Yue said seriously: "You have shouldered this from the moment you were born. You are stronger than everyone else, and I know you have worked hard to fight against it, you - "
Lou Jiangyue interrupted him: "You just asked me why I don't want to live anymore - right?"
She doesn't like to hear those make-up remarks. The harder she struggles, the more incompetent she is, doesn't it?
Those who can't change anything can only show off their efforts.
Her building is like an ant's worm.
Before the Seven Hate Demon Lord and Yuantu's destiny, it was useless to resist and struggle in vain.
Lou Yue said: "Because you want to save him."
No specific name was mentioned, but it was the first time it was actually mentioned.
It was like a tacit understanding that had never been mentioned was broken at this moment.
Lou Jiangyue also spread her eyebrows: "You know what I have been doing these years."
"Know who I'm with."
There was a strange expression on her face: "The direct bloodline of the Yingtian Lou family, your Lou Yue's daughter, is a killer with no door in hell, the infamous Yama. In order to erase those traces left accidentally, you must also Did a lot of things.”
"You are very smart, leaving almost no traces." Lou Yue said, "I didn't do much."
"You don't have to do it again in the future." Lou Jiangyue said.
"Yes, you have announced this identity to the whole world." Lou Yue said: "It's just that I don't understand. If it's just to save him, with your wisdom, you should be able to think of a better way."
He sighed: "You clearly know how dangerous this matter is, and I have hinted it to you. You can completely prevent him from getting involved."
"I can't stop him." Lou Jiangyue shook his head: "Because he knows how dangerous it is."
"He is not stupidly seeking death, he is sober and crazy." Lou Jiangyue's expression was very strange, like a sigh and a smile: "A person like him will die one day. He will die vigorously, like a star. Explode."
Madmen and lunatics are always attracted to each other.
People who are short-lived, and people who are bound to die, are not destined by fate.
"Then you have to at least wait until the day when he explodes like a star." Lou Yue said, "...and then commit suicide."
"That's what I thought at first." It was probably the first time in his life that Lou Jiangyue opened up his heart and communicated with his father. He briefly let go of his resentment and seemed unusually peaceful. But it might also be the last time: "But I can't wait any longer."
"I wanted to kill him before the onset of his illness. Just because he rejected my suggestion and insisted on taking risks on the maritime battlefield."
"At that moment, I suddenly thought, instead of letting others kill him, why not let me do it? What a gorgeous scene it would be if I could crush this star in my own hands! I began to imagine that his head was in my It exploded in front of me, red like flowers, white like snow, everything was unbelievably beautiful—"
She looked dazed, as if she had fallen into that beautiful imagination again, and then she smiled sadly: "I even want to kill him."
Lou Yue now completely understood why Lou Jiangyue was determined to die.
Yuantu's disease is no longer just an occasional moment of madness. It is not content to slowly spread to Lou Jiangyue's life. Instead, it has become rooted in the depths of her personality, giving birth to a truly murderous humanity in her!
No matter how ruthless a person is, he will not be murderous at every turn when facing those few people who mean a lot to him.
Even if tiger poison does not eat its seeds, evil wolves will also have wolves accompanying them.
Lou Jiangyue's desire to kill was a pure desire to kill from the beginning. It evolved from her being unable to control herself after the onset of murderous thoughts to the point where it was even difficult for her to exert influence on this murderous thoughts. At the next stage, she may not be aware of the problem at all and will take action directly.
In other words, her condition worsened again and she was already terminal!
The more she kills, the stronger she becomes, and the stronger she gets, the closer she gets to Yuan Tu, and the closer she gets to Yuan Tu, the less she can control herself.
This is an endless road to the abyss, she fell from birth to death.
"There will be a way." Lou Yue said.
Yet even he felt powerless.
What can be done?
If there was any way, how could he wait until today?
Unless we go to the Tomb of the Ten Thousand Worlds now, grab the Seven Hate Demon Lord in his hand, put a knife to his neck, ask him what Yuan Tu means, and ask him what to do!
But even Emperor Dajing couldn't do such a thing.
"I have come to this day, and if I do something like this, I will definitely die. The country cannot tolerate me, and the family should not tolerate me." Lou Jiangyue said: "If you are worried, just try harder. With your current situation With my current status, even if I were killed in the Criminal Investigation Department, the matter would be revealed. "
"If I die, I won't have to suffer so much anymore. I won't have to make a choice anymore, facing this war that I will always lose. I have been fighting since I became conscious until now, and I haven't won once. I'm... tired."
"Use my hatred towards you to close the case, and he won't be affected."
"You can also wipe off the last stain and be a Taoist master from now on."
"For you, for him, for me, for my family, and for my country. This is the best choice."
"Go, Lord Lou." Lou Jiangyue slowly closed her eyes: "This is my choice."
This is the best choice.
Lou Yue's tall figure was like a wall, pushing out heavily.
Then the prison door closed again.
Darkness enveloped the place again.
Lou Jiangyue was as quiet as a part of the cell.
No one came to hang her on the rack again, and no one put shackles on her.
This was the privilege brought by Lord Lou Dao.
But she had always been on the rack and had never left.
…
…
“It seems that Lou Shushi really wants to be a Taoist priest…” In the office of the Criminal Investigation Department, several officers gathered together to chat: “Have you ever seen the chief secretary give face like this? He personally welcomed him into the yamen and personally sent him out.”
Another officer laughed: “Then you didn’t see the chief secretary go to the Censorate overnight to ask for someone. That was so nervous!”
“What are you talking about? You really don’t know how to die!” Huang Shoujie, the chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, happened to pass by and criticized him harshly: “Can you also discuss the chief secretary?”
The so-called chief of the Taotai is responsible for contacting the criminal investigation department of the world. In fact, it is the backup of the chief of the Criminal Investigation Department. The status is like the right censor to the left censor.
However, there is only one right censor, but there are three chief of the Taotai.
These officers are his direct subordinates, so they dare to point fingers at the chief secretary - in a sense, this is also a token of surrender.
Seeing their boss speaking so harshly, they dared not argue, and all of them lowered their eyes and eyebrows.
"Is there anything important that you need to discuss together?" Huang Shoujie asked again, giving him a way out.
One of the officers reported: "Nancheng Officer Chen Kaixu and the team he led have lost contact. We don't know what the situation is yet. It may be related to the revenge of the Equal Nation, or it may be the One True Dao-"
"This is the matter of the head of Nancheng, and it has nothing to do with us." Huang Shoujie interrupted him: "In the troubled times of the country, everyone should abide by their duties, do their jobs well, and worry less about useless things. Let's go and do our work."
All the officers scattered like birds and beasts.
Huang Shoujie walked into the inner room expressionlessly.
The officers are already considered middle-level in the Criminal Investigation Department, and the officers who work directly in Tianjing City are one level higher.
So he has an impression of Chen Kaixu.
But his focus is not on this person.
He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a "Daoist disciple" who was assigned to act with Chen Kaixu, the South City Executive, and he personally developed into Taoism. What was his name? That memory was sealed by him.
The Taoist master's remains were captured, the Taoist leader was surrounded and killed, and the executioner also died. He could no longer establish contact with other Taoist disciples. The entire Yizhen Dao was in a state of panic, and everyone was hiding and uneasy.
At this time, it was meaningless to escape. If you move, you will be exposed, and if you are exposed, you will die.
It seems that you can only wait for the arrival of the Great Purge...
Huang Shoujie closed the door casually and sat down at his desk silently.
He opened a file, took a pen, and slowly ticked.
At the same time, a Taoist candle was lit in the sea of consciousness.
Green candle, red core, white flame.
After waiting for a long time, the name jumped out from the gap in his mind-
Jiang Nanpeng.
