When he reached the top of the mountain, Sun Suhe was already covered in a thin sweat, and the wounds on his body began to ache and itch.
At this time, a refreshing night wind blew past his face. Sun Suhe looked forward. The West Lake at the foot of the mountain looked like a frowning West in the drizzle. The lights in the city were dazzling like a river of stars flowing, and his vision broke free.
After breaking away from the shackles, it extends outward infinitely, and its mind suddenly becomes wider, and all the discomforts on the body disappear.
Hua Huo stood leaning against the railing, smiling sweetly. The night wind blew by, her skirts fluttered, and she floated like a fairy, as if she was about to ride the wind and fly away.
"Hanabi, do you want to see this scenery?" Sun Suhe held on to the stone fence, looking into the distance against the gentle breeze and drizzle.
Hanabi brushed the bangs in front of her forehead, her eyes blurred, "Well, I like this scenery very much, but compared to the scenery itself, I prefer this kind of detached and unrestrained feeling. Su He, you must understand how I feel.
I still remember the first time we chatted in the teahouse
? You said that you are just an ordinary person with no power. In fact, I didn’t believe it at first, but I gradually became able to feel the helplessness in you that was played by fate, and it was like a sharp sword.
It takes the courage to break through this bondage. Congratulations on finally escaping from the cage."
Sun Suhe smiled sheepishly and said: "I don't have any courage. I have no choice but to do it. I feel so unwilling to do so. I just want to survive with all my life."
"Yeah, I had no choice." Hanabi whispered, as if she was answering, but also as if she was talking to herself.
A strong sense of loneliness and sadness wrapped around her body. What touched her sorrow in her words? Sun Suhe wanted to comfort her and share her sorrow, but he didn't know what to do for the moment. He had a feeling that if he rashly
To touch this emotion, if you just say some comforting words, it will actually hurt her.
Hanabi shook her head slightly, as if to shake off the emotion, "The rain is starting to get heavy, let's go sit in the pavilion over there."
"good."
Sun Suhe took a quick step, took out a paper towel, spread it on the stone slab.
"Thanks."
Hanabi sat down and leaned over to unbuckle the shoe on her right foot, took off half of the shoe, then unbuckled the shoe on her left foot, hooked the upper of the shoe with her foot, and swayed casually.
"Do you remember what you promised me?"
Sun Suhe nodded, "Of course I remember. I said: If we can meet again, I will tell you the reason."
"I really want to hear your story. After you left, I regretted it. I thought we would never meet again." Hanabi asked curiously: "I can't figure out how you escaped from that person.
Life, how about you satisfy my curiosity?"
"It's very simple, because I promised to come to see you, so I bravely braved the thorns, escaped, no, bravely fought my way out." Sun Suhe said that he felt blushing and couldn't help laughing. "
Hahaha, although I really want to say this, in fact, I just desperately wanted to survive, struggling in an ugly way, and then, maybe by some mistake, suddenly, everything ended and I was still alive. That's pretty much it.
This feeling. Which part of the story do you want to hear more?"
"Why don't we start from the beginning."
"Hey, I also want to focus on the parts of me that are more handsome."
"Is there such a part?"
The two of them laughed at the same time.
Sun Suhe then recounted the series of events from beginning to end, starting from his encounter with Alice, combined with Cai Xunru's confession.
As for the part involving Alice's origin, Sun Suhe told Hanabi frankly that without Alice's consent, he could not go into details for the time being. However, their previous self-introduction in the teahouse, although there was some concealment, said everything.
is real.
Hanabi didn't mind this at all and listened to the whole story carefully.
She let out a long sigh and smiled helplessly, "It turns out that we are all pawns in the game."
"Now that this matter has been settled and you no longer have to worry about your own safety, what are your plans next?" Hanabi asked.
"Well, actually I don't have a clear plan yet. Last week I was still trying my best to submit my resume to find a job. Ha, I never dreamed that I would have such an experience at that time. But I really want to see the world.
Look what it looks like beneath the veil."
Hanabi put her hands on Sun Suhe's shoulders, looked into Sun Suhe's eyes seriously, and said seriously: "This world is very cruel, not only you, but even Alice doesn't understand the horror of this world. You guys now
You're standing at the door, and if you take a step forward, you'll be in endless danger, but it's not too late to turn around now."
"What do you mean?"
"Just treat this experience as a dream? Wouldn't it be better to be a layman and enjoy a peaceful and safe life?"
Sun Suhe met Hanabi's eyes without blinking, "I'm sorry, ever since I knew that this world still had such scenery, I can no longer be content with being a commoner. A person who was born blind may feel that
Darkness is not bad, but when he gets the light one day and sees all the colors, can he continue to enjoy the darkness as if nothing has happened?"
"You don't understand, you still don't understand. You don't know what kind of world this is. You being targeted this time can be said to be accidental, or it can be said to be inevitable. If you continue to set foot outside Fangwai, there will be more
Many people are targeting you maliciously. Maybe they are not as powerful as Wang Yuyu, but their danger and ferocity are definitely greater. Alice is very strong, but she cannot protect you, because she herself will be very dangerous."
Hanabi became more and more anxious as she spoke, "Tiandao Xing is said to be a blessing from God, but in fact it is a curse from nature. I don't know how many people have died just because of the awakening level. Although you have passed this level, if you want to
Once you have achieved success in spiritual practice, you still don’t know how many life-and-death dilemmas you will have to go through. Before you can protect yourself, you are just a child holding money in the market. You can’t imagine how many people will try to challenge you.”
"Hanabi, why are you fighting?" Sun Suhe suddenly asked.
"What?"
"Mr. Hua, Wang Yuyu, you clearly know that their strength is superior to yours, but why do you still challenge them without hesitation?"
"I..." Hanabi was speechless for a moment, "I have my reasons."
"You also know it's impossible and do it, don't you?"
"So I don't miss you even more..."
Sun Suhe raised his hand to interrupt Hanabi's words. He stood up and looked past the pavilion, past the top of the mountain, past the rain curtain, and into the endless distance.
"Maybe you think I'm ignorant and arrogant, but your reasons not only don't scare me, but make me more interested in seeing the world."
Hanabi sighed deeply and said with great determination: "Look at me."
Sun Suhe withdrew his gaze and looked at Hua Huo, only to see her stretching out her left arm, her right hand pointing parallelly into a sword, and an invisible sword energy suddenly came out, drawing a blood mark on her lotus-like white arm.
Sun Suhe exclaimed and was about to stop her. But before Sun Suhe even had time to act, the wound had quietly healed.
"Look again." Angry said, urging his sword energy to strike again.
"What are you doing? Don't act recklessly." Sun Suhe grabbed her arm.
With a flick of Hanabi's finger, the sword energy instantly cut the middle finger of her right hand. A drop of bright red blood appeared on the fingertip. Soon, the blood drop underwent a strange change, from a deep blood red to a clear glass color, with a strange light in it.
It flows, as if there is a flame burning.
"What's going on?" Sun Suhe asked in surprise.
"This is my fateful curse. Anyone who is infected by it will have a bad end. Do you know why you were able to recover so quickly after being injured by Mr. Hua that day? I was confused and used the power of this curse to save you, so that
You have also been infected with misfortune. If you never set foot outside the country again, you may be able to grow old safely. Once people know that you have come into contact with my blood, not only you, but everyone related to you will go through unimaginable experiences.
of hell.”
Sun Suhe held Hanabi's hand tightly, "I don't know what kind of curse this is? But why can't we work together to find a way to lift it?"
"Why don't you understand?" Hanabi asked sharply.
Her eyes were slightly moist and she whispered: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so loud."
"Just be loud, speak your words, and I will speak mine. Tell me this curse..."
Hanabi raised her hand and threw away Sun Suhe's hand. The sword in her palm was filled with energy, and it was directed towards Sun Suhe's throat. "You are not allowed to set foot outside Fangwai again. If I see you again, I will kill you. Rather than let you experience hellish pain,
Why don't you let me give you a good time?"
"Thank you, you are a good person, don't set foot outside again." After Hanabi said that, she rushed into the rain curtain, tiptoeing, and walked away along the cliff.
Sun Suhe hurriedly chased after him, but he had no choice but to stop at the railing. Finally, he seemed to see a light flashing between Hanabi's eyes, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.
There is still drizzle and mist on the top of the mountain, but it has disappeared.
