After listening to Shen Kong's words, my expression changed slightly.
Is this shadow space... going to collapse in half an hour?
"Then what should I do?" I asked quickly.
Shen Kong didn't say anything more, but stretched out his hand and sucked the equipment released by Soul Return - the Hydra crutch on the ground.
Oh, maybe it shouldn't be called the Hydra crutch now, because the Hydra has been broken into pieces, and now this crutch is just an ordinary crutch.
Of course, it is not ordinary even if it is said to be ordinary, because this crutch has the function of teleportation.
Shen Kong handed the crutch to me and said to me: "This crutch of Soul Return has a very strong teleportation ability, and there is no limit. It is not a problem to teleport hundreds of thousands of people at a time. Your mission now is to quickly Gather the Imperial City people and take them back."
"I understand." I took the crutch and asked, "What about you?"
"Me?" Shen Kong said with a carefree smile: "I'll go back first. You can solve such a simple matter by yourself, not to mention it's the same with or without me."
"That's true." I nodded. After hesitating for a moment, I couldn't help but ask the question in my heart: "Shen Kong, why do you want to help me?"
"For revenge, I can't kill Hungui without you." Shen Kongyan said concisely and concisely.
"Didn't you give me that note before?" I asked.
"Ah, you said that, it is indeed mine." Shen Kong scratched his head and said: "How to put it... If you insist on giving me a reason, then there is no reason."
"Do you need any more reasons to help your junior brother?"
Looking at me who was slightly dazed, Shen Kong patted my shoulder and said with a smile: "Junior brother, the task of saving all sentient beings is left to you. Senior brother, take the first step."
"Bye-Bye!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Kong activated the teleportation function of his earrings and quickly left here.
"What an unpredictable person..." After muttering to myself, I glanced at the increasing number of space cracks around me. Knowing that time was running out, I dragged my body, which was already reaching its limit, in a flash. That’s when we returned to the Imperial City.
Seeing me coming, many people gathered around me.
"Ye Yan, are you okay?!"
Of course I'm in trouble!
Now I have already reached the limit of my overdraft. If there were not tasks that must be completed, I would like to lie on the ground and not be able to sleep.
"It's nothing. Let's not talk about it for now. Everyone, please help me gather everyone in the Imperial City together. We will leave here soon." I said concisely and concisely.
When they heard that I could leave this place, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they immediately set off to follow my request. At this time, Zuo Chonghua, who had just finished fighting in the distance, also returned to the imperial city.
Seeing Zuo Chonghua arriving, I quickly said to her.
"Xiao Zuo, take this crutch."
Zuo Chonghua was suddenly startled and said: "What is this?"
"This is a crutch with a teleportation function." I conveyed to Zuo Chonghua exactly what Shen Kong told me, and said word for word: "Do you understand what I said?"
"Uh...I understand." Zuo Chonghua nodded, and when she looked at me again, she saw that my vision had gone dark and I had fainted. Only Ye Yuyou, who was still in his juvenile form, was still awake.
The two women looked at each other for a moment, their expressions were extremely complicated, and they seemed to have countless things to say.
"Xiao Zuo, if you have anything to do, let's talk about it after we get back." After a long silence, Ye Yuyou broke the silence first and said slowly: "Let's get down to business first."
"Okay." Zuo Chonghua nodded.
Hot summer, the real imperial city.
June is the rainy season. In the deserted Imperial City, raindrops are falling, making the already hot Imperial City a little cooler.
Near the Sixth Middle School of the Imperial City, there was already water as deep as the belly of a pinky finger. Someone staggered over it. In addition to the water that kept splashing and falling, there was also blood that kept falling. This drop by drop The blood splashed and stained the water red.
Looking up, I found that the owner of this figure was none other than Shen Kong, who had just returned from the Shadow Space.
However, Shen Kong at this moment is not at all as good as he said just now. His eyes, nose, mouth and ears are bleeding, and his face is almost blood red.
Physical injuries are nothing, the real problem is the soul.
If there are strong people in the imperial city, they will be shocked to find that there is no soul in Shen Kong's body in front of them, because his soul has been broken.
Logically speaking, he is basically dead now.
Obviously, what Shen Kong just said to me was a lie. He did not erase the soul lock, which means... he is indeed going to die.
As for why he lied to me, it was probably because he didn't want to lose face in front of my junior brother, and it was also because Shen Kong was already desperate to die. He...had long since stopped living.
From the moment Ke'er died, he died in Shen Kong. He has been living like a zombie, and his only motivation is hatred.
At first he hated the ghost master, and then he hated the inactive humans, so much so that he betrayed the master and was willing to turn humans into enemies. But later, as Yan Xia took the lead in fighting against the ghost master, Shen Kong found that he had no reason to hate anymore.
Because Shen Kong also gradually discovered that there are not so many right and wrong in this world, but a lot of powerless helplessness, so...he doesn't hate it so much anymore.
As a result, Shen Kong's hatred turned towards the ghost master, or in other words - Hungui, because Hungui was the culprit who killed his most beloved person back then!
After returning the soul to death, his wish was fulfilled, and now he only seeks relief.
We don't know what kind of willpower Shen Kong used after his soul was broken to forcefully support him until now, but it is undeniable that he did it.
At this moment, Shen Kong, who was almost running out of lights, finally walked to the gate of Imperial City No. 6 Middle School with heavy steps.
Because everyone in the Imperial City had been teleported away, there was no one on the campus at the moment. Shen Kong looked at the familiar things in front of him, with a look of reminiscence emerging in his eyes.
"Ke'er...we're going home."
After murmuring softly, Shen Kong stretched out his trembling hands and pulled out a necklace from his collar. A photo was connected to the lower end of the necklace. In the photo, a slightly green boy and girl showed a bright smile. , full of youth and happiness.
Shen Kong just looked at the photo, with a bitter smile on his lips, and muddy tears squeezed out of his bleeding eyes again. He really wanted to go back to the past and be with his beloved.
But these are destined to be extravagant hopes.
"Ke'er, I miss you so much, I'm here to find you..."
After saying these words with endless nostalgia, the life in Shen Kong's eyes gradually drained away. He leaned against the wall next to the school gate. Washed by the rain, he held the photo full of memories in his hand until death. photo.
