Lieyang City, East Fourth District, a certain residential building.
It felt like I had slept for a century.
Guo Daneng felt as if his upper and lower eyelids had grown together and were trembling continuously. He used all his strength to finally open a gap.
In the haze, he saw a monkey looking at him above his head... "Where did that monkey come from?!"
Sitting up, Guo Daneng shook his head repeatedly, and his vision became clearer. He turned around again and realized that he was an old man in his fifties or sixties. It was just that his hair and beard were so long that they were almost connected together, making him look like a monkey.
.
"Ah! I'm sorry, grandpa!"
After a heartfelt apology, Guo Daneng suddenly remembered: "Eh? I, am I not dead? This, this is the underworld?!"
The last scene in my memory is Feng Mo inserting the sword into his heart with a sinister smile on his face, and then pushing himself into the Minjiang River!
"That bastard!" Guo Daneng hurriedly covered his chest, and was slightly shocked. He felt that his heart was beating extremely powerfully, making a thumping sound.
Driven by this heart, even though he had just woken up after sleeping for who knows how long, he felt as if there was infinite strength in his body. He subconsciously reached out to the side and grabbed it. With a click, he broke off a small piece of the bed board and held it in a daze.
The wood of the underworld is so weak?
"It seems that you have integrated well with my heart." The old man's voice woke him up from his daze. "You are not dead. I fished you out of the Minjiang River. This is the fourth district in the east of Lieyang City."
"I'm not dead? I'm not dead?!"
Guo Daneng repeated it twice, groping himself up and down, and the feeling was the same as before. He was lost in thought for a moment, covered his face with his hands, and started to cry.
"I...am not dead!"
After a few minutes, he stopped crying and asked: "Grandpa, you saved me? I clearly remember that my heart was pierced by that bastard Feng Mo with his sword. How did you..."
"Your heart is indeed broken and cannot be put back together." The old man said, unbuttoning his clothes, "So I gave you my heart."
Guo Daneng blinked, rubbed his eyes, and took a closer look. He suddenly screamed, retracted and hit the wall, and stammered: "Ghost, ghost, ghost! Sure enough... Is it really still the underworld?!"
On the old man's bare chest, he saw a circular pit larger than his fist, which was translucent from front to back.
There is no beating heart in it!
The old man shook his head, buttoned up his buttons, and reached out to grab Guo Daneng, who wanted to hide but couldn't. "Let's take you out and have a look."
Suddenly, Guo Daneng found himself in a bustling market and looked around hurriedly.
"Really, is it really Lieyang City?"
"Am I dead or not?"
"It is true that people cannot live without a heart. Seven hundred years ago, a human king named Bigan proved this with his life." The old man said: "But a demon can still live without a heart!"
"…demon?"
"My name is Wu. Hundreds of years ago, you humans called me - Monkey Demon God Wu!"
"Monkey demon, demon god?!"
"That's right, as you know, one of the 12 demon gods who returned with the Overlord." Wu shook his head and smiled, as if recalling and sighing.
"Demon God? How is that possible?!"
"No, stop joking!" Guo Daneng questioned, but actually his heart was slightly shaken. The old man's missing heart, his own self who was obviously killed but came back to life, was a heart that seemed not to belong to him and brought infinite power.
Unless a strong person who is good at hallucinating holy souls is confusing him, this is impossible. But what value does he have for others to do this?
But the demon god... what happened?
"It took you nearly a month to fuse my heart." Wu continued: "A lot of things happened in this month. There are three things that are closely related to you."
"The first thing is that Feng Mo, who killed you once, is dead, and Feng Mo's father is also dead. You don't need to take revenge."
"Second Senior Brother... Bah! Feng Mo is dead?"
"The second thing."
Wu said, and pulled Guo Daneng, and in an instant he crossed more than ten kilometers and arrived in the East Second District, in front of an inn that was tightly blocked by officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers seemed unable to see the two of them at all. Wu pulled Guo Daneng inside, found a guest room, and pushed the door open.
In the guest room, a slightly fat middle-aged man was tightly tied to the bed with chains, deep in coma, with two huge front teeth protruding from his mouth.
"Dad? Dad?! What happened to my dad!"
Guo Daneng was immediately anxious and wanted to see how his father was doing, but Wu only said the word "ding" and he was unable to move.
"Don't worry, there is a third thing, or it can be said to be the same thing."
Wu pulled Guo Daneng again, causing the scene in front of him to jump again, to Xia Yi's small courtyard.
Enter Xia Yi's room.
"This is... Third Senior Sister?! How could Third Senior Sister..." Guo Daneng was even more anxious, "Let me go! Let me go quickly!"
"Quiet." Wu helped him shut his mouth and said: "The one among them is the innate ability of the rat demon god Huo Guang, the rat servitude technique. The soul is twisting in the direction of the rat, and there is no cure."
"...Demon God? Another Demon God?! You...what do you guys want to do!"
"It's different. He and I are different."
Enlightenment: "He was indeed beheaded by the Overlord back then, and he just recovered in a half-human, half-demon state, with no strength left. I am different, I have never died, and I am stronger than him to begin with."
"So, I can save them, but because I gave you my heart, I can only save one." He looked at Guo Daneng and said: "You have to choose, Guo Daneng, do you want to save this girl or that man? You
's father?"
Guo Daneng's 'ban' was lifted by him.
But after hearing this, he fell into self-imposed silence. He stared blankly at Lu Ying on the bed, with his father's image echoing in his mind.
Rat demon god, there is no cure?
Give me a heart, but you can only save one?
Is he lying to me? I looked anxiously at Wu's expression, but I only saw seriousness and seriousness.
At this moment, Guo Daneng, who was in a state of confusion, had no time to consider other situations.
Struggled for a long time.
With a pop, he fell to his knees and kowtowed to Wu repeatedly: "Please save them! Take your heart away and save them two!"
Wu laughed loudly, but just when Guo Daneng showed his joy, he said ruthlessly: "There is no such choice, you can only save her or your father!"
Guo Daneng felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He froze for a long time, buried his head heavily on the ground, and cried: "Save my father...save my father!"
Wu nodded: "There is no way to repay the kindness of raising someone. Get up, I can save both of you."
Guo Daneng's fat, crying face suddenly lifted up.
"Really, really?"
Wu Yi pulled him and took him back to the hut where he first woke up. Guo Daneng wiped his tears: "Didn't you say you wanted to save them?"
"The rescue is complete." Wu said with emotion: "Whether you are a human or a demon, living in the world, you always have to face a variety of choices, some are simple, some are difficult, and some may even make you suffer for a lifetime, but
You have to choose."
"Knowing that I can save both of them, do you regret the choice you just made?"
Guo Daneng was stunned, his self-blame and guilt suddenly rose, "I, I'm sorry to Third Senior Sister..."
"Hahaha, do you blame yourself? Feel guilty? As time goes by, you will feel more and more guilty about yourself! My choice back then has troubled me for five hundred years!" Wu Cangsang said with a smile.
"...Are you...regreting?"
"No, I feel guilty, I blame myself."
"But I never regret it!"
Wu shook his head, and a sharp aura suddenly burst out from his body, transforming from his ordinary old and decrepit state into a tall form that could poke a hole in the sky!
"Even if I have a thousand more chances, I will still choose that way and I will never change it!"
Guo Daneng was speechless for a while, and then asked after a long time: "What did you choose? Could it be that... you said that you have lived until now, did you beg for mercy from the Overlord during the war?"
Wu was silent and couldn't help but reveal his true nature.
