Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Second Moon Remnant in the Forbidden Underground
Maybe you and I are the same kind of people to a certain extent. Without the teachings of my parents and elders over the years, with my extremely violent personality, I might have become the target of a certain mission of "Shadow Kill".
Alright.
One of us is a civilized man, and the other is a barbarian. You have suffered physical and limb injuries, and I have also been accused of being a scum by thousands of people.
Being stabbed in the heart by the person closest to me, I wanted to resist but my body was tightly locked by the identity of father and son. Maybe it would be better to cut him off, or maybe I would just watch him go to the end like you.
As the child of a drunk driver, he exposed him regardless of family ties and sent him to jail without any remorse. He received hundreds of dollars in bonuses and certificates, and was completely alone from then on.
Then he destroyed this country just like he destroyed his own home. Look, the unfilial son who exposed his father also betrayed his country.
I still can't escape his shadow.

"What is a person thinking about?"
The familiar voice awakened "Dagger" who was meditating on the grass. At this time, he was staying alone on a river bank downstream of the waterfall pool. His left leg was stretched forward, his right leg was curled up and his arms were raised, seemingly sitting comfortably.
On top of lush grass.
On his left, "Zhi" was carrying today's lunch box and walking towards the master he would protect for the rest of his life.
"No, I just remembered some not-so-good things."
"Dagger" glanced at "Zhi" tenderly. She was wearing tight leggings of the same color under a black denim skirt. She was wearing a long black denim jacket over a white inner shirt. Her fluffy and neat bangs lightly touched her eyebrows.
A strand of finely braided hair extended from under the brown painter's hat, and "Dagger" recognized it at a glance as the hairstyle he had braided for her.
"It's quite beautiful, but now is not the time to wear such clothes. Wait until the civil war is over and you and the master will wear them when you go shopping. Oh yes, I will also buy you another hairpin..."
The face under the mask seemed to be wearing a warm and cold smile. "Dagger" turned his head and played with the cogon grass in his hand, peeling off its green outer leaves little by little, revealing the furry white roots inside.
He just stared at this edible plant and recalled things from his childhood.
When I was in elementary school, the school's physical education class was to play in the mountains behind the campus, where a lot of Imperata grows, so finding Imperata to eat was the main activity for the children. Similar games include sticking cockleburs and digging tree roots.
"Zhi" quietly sat down next to "Dagger" and started to open the lunch box.
"Xiao Ling!"
"yes!"
After being called, "Zhi" turned his head blankly, but in front of her, "Dagger" just looked at her with a vague smile:
"Open your mouth."
"Well, ah..."
Although he didn't understand the meaning of "dagger", "Zhi" obediently opened the mouth mechanism of the mask, revealing his soft pale pink lips.
"Well!"
"Dagger" raised his hand and stuffed the peeled Imperata cogongrass root directly into her mouth. "Zhi" chewed the cool and slightly sweet plant in a daze, and her earlobes gradually turned red.
"This is called Imperata cylindrica. In my hometown, people like to call it thatch root. It is sweet. When I was a child, my mother and I often picked it and ate it when we went to the mountains."
"Um……"
The grass roots that melted in the mouth were not chewed several times by the girl's pink lips and teeth. "Fat" chewed the cogongrass carefully like eating chocolate, and even wanted to bite the roots that quickly slipped into the throat.
"Is it tasty?"
"a bit sweet."
"Hahaha……"
"Dagger" chuckled and looked at "Zhi"'s side. The unbuttoned lunch box was lying on the grass.
"are you hungry?"
"This is yours, master, I have
have eaten."
"That's it..."
The darkness surged up like tentacles, swallowing the entire lunch box. "Zhi"'s eyes were a little anxious, and she said eagerly to "Dagger":
"Master, you haven't eaten anything since last night. How about..."
"I'm not hungry. Compared to that, do you have any questions you want to ask me? You see, you have been following me for almost half a year. If there is anything I did wrong, just mention it. Of course, I won't change it.
That’s another thing, hehehe~”
"Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
"Because of a certain stupid guy, his experience reminded me of meeting Lilith... No, it should be called Mo Wei now..."
"Dagger" tilted his head and laughed, looked up at the clear stream, and threw the stones at hand into it.
"The world where Lan Xin lives is too far away from ordinary people, but compared to her, Lan Ruxin's life experience will resonate with people. She and the people around her will always make people see some shadows."
"An anime mentioned the concept of "real things", which is a real beauty that cannot be changed by external objects. If Lan Xin maintains the "garden" by relying on her character and strength, she will have nothing.
Lan Ruxin must have relied on such a "real thing" to plant the "Wu Tong"..."
I don't know what he was thinking of, but there was some self-mockery in "Dagger's" eyes, and the expression under the mask was full of sarcasm and bitterness. He looked up at the sky, looking at the clean sky, with thick clouds blocking the sun.
"Whether it's saving Coca Cola when it's falling, or saving the sunset when it's "mercy", she seems to be giving those "people" the beauty in her heart that appears at that moment, just like a phoenix falling into the mortal world.
Even if the feathers become dry and pale, they will still give the light that still shines in their bones to the beings around them."
"Her real thing can even make the traitor hesitate and hide the butcher knife that can easily kill her in his hand for more than ten years."
"But why should I let you give up on the ground...especially you, if it is for some insignificant rules, after you have risked your life to save me so many times, you are completely..."
"Dagger" turned to look at "Zhi", and her tearful eyes made him stop what he was going to say. "Zhi" tightened his grip on his hanging whip, looked down at the ground, and said pitifully:
"Master, don't you want me anymore?"
"I don't have the right to say I don't want you, because you have the right to leave me. You have sacrificed your life to save me countless times and done so many things for me. Any boy who is treated like this will not be able to help but rely on you and want to
I want to be with you always."
A hint of gentle laughter reappeared in "Dagger"'s eyes. He stretched out his finger and lightly scratched the bridge of her nose.
"You are like the caring companion that everyone longs for. Whether it is life or work, you are always the most powerful support."
"The master means..."
"I have always wanted to prostitute you for nothing, but every time I see your desperate figures, I can't help but look for my own value."
"value?"
"I will always feel that what I have done for you is far less than what you have done for me."
"Hehehehe..."
"well?"
After hearing these words, "Zhi" suddenly burst into laughter like silver bells, completely destroying the original solemn atmosphere.
This time, it was "Dagger"'s turn to be blinded.
"Yes...cough, I'm sorry, because, Master, what you said is really funny..."
"Is it funny? What's so funny?"
"Master, you said that what you have done is not as much as what we have done for you? Even if you are being modest, this joke is too outrageous."
"Fat" covered his face
Although her mouth looked slightly funny, "Dagger" who was obviously dazed was completely immersed in her words.
Have you done so many things yourself?
"Then can you tell me what I have done?"
"Yes, first of all, you tried your best to save that idiot Mo Yunfei many times. Whether it was the crocodile man, the annual meeting, or even dating back to the cult, you tried your best to save those who could be saved."
"I just carried out the order to kill the enemy leader. It's not specifically to save him. Crocodile Man, I dragged him down. If I have to say it, it was during the annual meeting. After all, there is no loss in this world.
A boss who wants his younger brother to run away. If he really does that, I probably won’t even be able to sleep well."
"Zhi" and "Shu" who were observing in secret discovered that "Dagger", a tall man of 1.8 meters, turned out to be a typical tsundere.
"Then let's talk about Miss Shu, she..."
"It's because of love. If I have to say it, how can there be a reader in this world who falls in love with the author because of a novel! If I don't try my best to show off, what if that glutton is abducted by another bad man?
…”
The "book" who was secretly observing could not stop laughing at her aunt. Although vampire blood was cold, she still felt a sense of heat.
At the same time, when "Zhi" heard the reason "because of love", she felt a surge of envy mixed with jealousy. She didn't even listen carefully to his next words.
"anything else?"
"Ah! Oh! Yes!"
"What's wrong? Your skin is so red..."
"Dagger" stretched out his hand and covered "Zhi"'s avoidable forehead with the back of his hand. He tapped it slowly and gradually moved it to the position of his temple. However, the gradually rising temperature made him subconsciously move his head closer.
"...!!!"
Holding "Zhi"'s head with both hands, "Dagger" used his mother's technique when he was a child to put his temple close to "Zhi"'s temple, closed his eyes, and felt the change in temperature.
However, under such an intimate gesture from her crush, not only did "Zhi"'s skin turn red, but even her pupils began to become confused. She felt the touch from her forehead nervously but with attachment, feeling the warmth exchanged between them.
"It's a bit hot, let's measure it..."
"Dagger" let go of his forehead and reached into the shadow under him, looking for the medical box. At this moment, "Zhi" thought of something and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
If the temperature is measured, it is held under the armpit. Then, if he measures it with his own hands, doesn't it mean that he has to put it into his clothes...
Thinking of this, "Zhi" began to get entangled. She circled her braid with her fingers and made some kind of decision.
"I……"
"Um?"
"I want to..."
"ah?"
"Dagger" asked doubtfully while opening the medical kit. He didn't realize the problem even when he saw the mercury thermometer.
"I want the master in person!"
"Zhi" clenched his hands, closed his eyes, and tightened his legs violently.
"Measure it for me..."
"That's not when..."
"Dagger" who finally noticed something looked at the mercury thermometer in his hand, and then saw "Zhi"'s budding chest.
At this moment, "Zhi" glanced sideways, and he reached out directly to grab "Dagger"'s hand holding the thermometer, and neatly opened his right shoulder, revealing his smooth shoulder and white skin with graceful arcs.
The roughness and smoothness are close to each other, the hot body temperature wraps around the back of the hand, but the cold temperature ignites the flame.
As if they sensed it, the two of them looked into each other's eyes at the same time while holding the thermometer in their warm armpits.
The white catkins are flying and the warm wind melts them.
