A philosopher once said that the closest place to heaven is hell.
Gu Fan deeply understood the meaning of this sentence. Only after enduring the biting cold wind did he realize the value of warmth. Only when he stood in the blood and mud in the deepest darkness did he long for that ray of light.
Previous life.
Gu Fan is used to seeing people's sinister and ugly faces making people vomit.
But in that dark and cold winter night, there was also a trace of tenderness. Former companions supported each other, could trust each other with their backs, and extended a helping hand countless times on the verge of collapse.
At the end of the story, there is no happy ending.
The last part of the training of the Dark Dragon Troops is to kill the companions who depend on each other for life, so that the hearts of the warriors become as hard as ice.
That night, it happened to be snowing heavily.
Gu Fan and Yin Xing fought in the snowy night, with the sound of weapons clashing. The companions who followed them day and night were all too familiar with each other's attack methods.
They didn't want to kill each other, but they knew deep down in their hearts that only one of them could survive.
"Try your best!!"
"If only one of us can survive, then the one who survives the strongest will be able to go further in this end of the world."
Yin Xing said this, but she already had the answer in her heart. In terms of talent, ability and potential, Gu Fan was the strongest... but saying this would reduce the burden in his heart and the deep sense of guilt.
Blood splattered everywhere.
In the blood, the warm plasma of Silver Star spreads all over the snow.
Gu Fan's dagger stabbed Yin Xing's chest. Just as she expected, Gu Fan's strength was even better when he went all out.
"Don't regret it."
"The end of the world...is originally...the strong will be respected..."
"Live...don't let me...die in vain...your life...is mine..."
Yin Xing's words became weaker and weaker, and the blood and the palm touching Gu Fan's cheek became cold at the same time.
She died in Gu Fan's arms.
At the end, Yinxing looked at the starry sky on the snowy night, with a trace of disappointment in her eyes: "I still want to... take a last look... at the stars..."
Those were Silver Star's last words.
it's over.
The special training of the Dark Dragon Force is over.
Gu Fan buried Yin Xing and became a stronger warrior, with a heart as cold as ice and as hard as steel, and his willpower became more than one point stronger again.
Get stronger, get stronger, get stronger.
Gu Fan's shoulders became heavier and heavier. With Yinxing's life and the lives of many other partners, he walked further and further step by step, and finally broke away from the Dark Dragon Army and became a powerful man.
However, it has become difficult for him to trust others, let alone hand his back over to others.
That is the story of Gu Fan and Yin Xing.
…
…
"ah?"
"Cut you with a knife??"
Yinxing couldn't understand Gu Fan's brain circuit at all, but was very confused about what he said before: "You said that you killed someone you didn't want to kill. Are you also a member of the Dark Dragon Army??"
Gu Fan smiled and did not answer.
I'm afraid no one would believe what happened in my previous life.
"Um."
"Cut me."
Gu Fan stretched out his hand, and a winter blade exuding a cold aura appeared in his hand.
The sword's light was blue and dim, reflecting a faint cold light under the moonlight and starlight. It was obviously created by the use of powerful supernatural powers.
"I rarely feel guilty."
"Perhaps your knife will relieve me of that burden."
Gu Fan handed the knife to Yinxing and tore away the clothes on his upper body with his palm, revealing the solid bronze muscles. At the same time, he pressed his chest hard with his palm... which shattered his muscles and bones.
He must destroy his body first, otherwise even the divine gold-level Blade of Winter will not be able to pierce the perfect body.
"Do you think I'm... similar to that person who doesn't want to kill?"
Yinxing took the knife, hesitated for a moment and said, "Will my knife make you feel better?"
picture.
Of course it's similar.
Because they are basically the same person.
Gu Fan smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are quite similar."
Clang.
Silver Star dropped the Blade of Winter on the ground and gave up on stabbing it.
"You don't want to be a replacement?"
Gu Fan picked up the Blade of Winter, and he could understand Yin Xing's mood. Sometimes, when a person is regarded as a substitute, it seems a bit too sad, and he is simply anesthetizing himself with lies.
Yinxing shook his head: "I don't care about becoming a substitute, I just think I can understand the feelings of the person you killed."
Um?
Gu Fan frowned slightly: "How do you say that?"
"You don't want to kill her."
"She doesn't want to kill you either."
"It must be very painful for the final winner, right?"
Yinxing turned his head, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to understand this feeling, and continued: "I don't know why, but this feeling makes me very familiar and kind."
"If I were the one you killed, I would never blame you."
"If only one of two people can survive, you must choose the strongest one."
"He will move forward step by step with the hope of two people, the responsibility of two people, the lives of two people, and the weight of two people."
Yinxing's words made Gu Fan's brows gradually relax.
She looked up at the stars, thought for a moment, and continued: "If I chop you, maybe the burden and guilt in your heart will be lighter, but the person you killed... her weight will also be lighter, right?
?”
"I think she must be hoping that you can carry that weight with you, become stronger, and rush to farther places."
Yin Xing's words stunned Gu Fan.
Is this what it turns out to be??
When she died, she didn't blame me.
She chooses the strongest one to survive, bear the lives and weight of two people, and become stronger.
That feeling of guilt and regret is not a punishment, but like the added weight during exercise. Although it makes your training more painful, it actually pushes you forward and becomes another kind of motivation.
.
"I see."
"When I heard you say that, I felt a lot more at ease, and the weight became more solid. Maybe it will always be on my shoulders, pushing me forward."
Gu Fan said sincerely, and at the same time he looked up at the endless galaxy, as if he wanted to see through it and look towards another distant time and space.
She must have thought the same thing about Silver Star in her previous life.
"Go back."
Gu Fan untied a knot in his heart and smiled softly at Yin Xing: "Our subordinates should be impatient."
The top of the snow-capped mountains,.
A figure that was indistinguishable to the naked eye walked across the snow without a trace, spanning a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant, which made people feel that it was a little blurry to the naked eye.
Gu Fan held Yin Xing's hand, and in just a few minutes, he left the peak of the mountain and returned to the tavern in the gathering place where the warm firelight was swaying.
Jingle bells.
The door of the tavern opened, and the wind and snow poured in. Gu Fan and Yin Xing stood side by side.
Everyone's eyes in the entire tavern were fixed on the two of them.
