Chapter 311 The Final Question

Chapter 311 The Final Question

At that moment, the blood-stained white horse rushed into the frontmost defensive position, and the spear pierced straight through, tearing apart the frontmost face, piercing through the outermost defensive line like a bamboo.

The alchemy bomb that fell from the horse immediately buried everything in the raging fire and roar.

Huai Shi is still moving forward.

The white horse leaped over the ditch and the sharp iron thorns on the ground, trampled on by the iron hooves, and burst out with blood. Huai Shi on the horse's back swept across the blade of the gun, and slashed the blade of the ax to the left.

The blood and bones are falling apart.

In the tragic sound, a corpse fell to the sky, blood splashed, and then, more deaths came suddenly.

Chaotic roars and roars sounded, but then, they were annihilated under the cruel ravages.

Trampled by the iron hoof, the white horse stepped forward step by step, breaking through the second layer of defense.

The old commander didn't even have time to react, the blood-stained knight had already roared over, and the ax blade wrapped in lightning swept across, smashing the barrier of nothingness like a bamboo.

The white horse man stood up, crushed his weapon, and neighed loudly, setting off a belated bloody storm.

A pitch-black shotgun was lifted from the horse's back and aimed at the commander's face.

"Talk?"

At the last moment, he heard a hoarse sneer from the horse's back: "You deserve it too?"

The trigger is pulled.

A gushing rain of metal brought death and darkness, heralding the beginning of the final battle.

But ahead, there is no longer any obstacle.

Huai Shi turned her head, her blood-stained eyes quietly stared at the pursuers behind her who were too late to disperse, and once again raised the blade in her hand.

Accompanied by the final thunder, a torrential rain fell from the sky, swallowing up the last screams and cries.

After a long, long time, when Huai Shi numbly pulled out the gun blade from the corpse, she looked around and saw no other figures.

There are no enemies here.

He gasped with relief, felt the white horse staggering and kneeling in the mud on the ground, its head covered in scars and blood stains slowly turned its head, took one last look at him, pushed his shoulder, and then dissipated into a phantom .

In the torrential rain, Huai Shi got up from the ground, reached out to support Ai Qing, and slowly walked towards the broken city gate ahead.

After passing through the incomplete city wall and the broken city gate, you can enter the border stone city.

But Ai Qing's footsteps stopped abruptly.

stopped in place.

Huai Shi turned her head in a daze, and saw her calm eyes.

"Once you enter the border, you really have to defect, you understand?" Ai Qing said, "Will Tianwen let this level of dereliction of duty and rebellion go away?"

Huai Shi did not answer.

he knows.

Ai Qing thought for a while, and then asked: "What are you going to do after you go to the border? Will someone accept me? There will only be more people waiting inside, maybe Yinya is there waiting for us to come to your door...you Are you sure you can beat him?"

Huai Shi did not answer.

he does not know.

Ai Qing stared at him silently for a long time, and then asked the last question again: "Do you think I would have never thought of what you would do after encountering such a thing after coming to Yin's house?"

Huai Shi did not answer.

He didn't know if he knew it or not.

"I'm using you, Huai Shi." Ai Qing asked, "Is it really necessary to do this to this kind of woman?"

"You know I'm not going to let it go, right?"

Huai Shi smiled, and replied in a calm tone that made her extremely unhappy: "Knowing how to rely on friends is your growth, right? There is no need to care about other things."

In terms of using it, wouldn't he use Ai Qing and the identity of the Astronomical Society as a cover more often?

We were friends when we were young, but it is said that there are only pros and cons in the adult world, so it is not bad to be good friends who can use each other.

Why do you have to be attached to so much?

He grabbed Ai Qing's hand and continued to move forward, when he heard the girl's suspicious voice behind him.

"Huai Shi, you must be in love, right?"

Huai Shi turned her head and was stunned for a long time, amused by her serious tone, she couldn't help shaking her head: "Stop talking, a woman like you, how can anyone fall in love with you."

"Yes, then I can rest assured."

Ai Qing sighed softly, "But even if I don't care, I still can't help being angry when people say that..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pressed Huai Shi's neck.

Little anger and unhappiness erupted at the fingertips.

There was a soft snap.

The last straw fell.

The exhausted camel was finally crushed.

Huai Shi fell on her back, but was soon supported by Ai Qing. She supported Huai Shi forward, walked to a place under the city gate where the rain could not reach, put it down, and leaned against the wall.

"Don't you understand, Huai Shi." Ai Qing looked at his stunned look, shook her head and sighed: "Now, I am your last stumbling block."

No one needs Huai Shi to take revenge anymore.

But as long as she is still around, Huai Shi will always be entangled with the past hatred and the Yin family.

Only when Ai Qing left, could he be completely free.

Live the life you want.

"There's no need to be so surprised, is there?"

She suddenly laughed, "If you have taught me anything, it is to do my own thing. Now it seems that I have done a good job, why do you continue to intervene?"

Huai Shi was stunned.

It was the first time he saw Ai Qing's smile, calm and warm, no longer gloomy, but with sunshine.

She is already free.

From the moment she breaks free...

But for some reason, he remembered what the muscular old man said to him a few days ago.

"Did you make a mistake, Huai Shi, not everyone will fall into the abyss of misfortune without your help... Why do you have to make everyone unable to do without you?"

Huai Shi shook her head and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Yes, why bother to be a hero everywhere?

Not every girl is persistently looking forward to a prince charming falling from the sky, Huai Shi, and not every girl thinks that there will be a savior who will settle everything neatly.

Your Highness, times have changed.

Instead of waiting for the kind of prince who is not available at all times, they may all prefer to solve things by themselves. Maybe after they finish their Gatling chugs, they can still smoke a cigarette and ask the late prince for a light.

When did the fragrant and soft girls become such terrifying creatures? It's really hard to accept from the bottom of my heart...

"It's so sad to talk like that, Ai Qing."

Huai Shi coughed and laughed at herself: "I still wanted to be friends with you..."

"Forget it, I really hate you."

Ai Qing gently sat beside him, and glanced at him: "I hated you from the first moment I saw you, I don't understand why mom likes you so much.

It's even more annoying to see that you still don't care after you won the second place in the cello competition.

If I had to say, from that time on, I didn't want to be friends with such a casual person... But I didn't expect that I could be entangled until now. "

She glanced at Huai Shi sympathetically, "Just take it as an evil fate."

"Nie Yuan...?"

It would be nice to have more such karma.

Huai Shi smiled, didn't say anything, just quietly watched the rainstorm outside the city gate.

In the thick sound of endless rain, the whole world became quiet.

The roaring and running cruel world gradually moved away from them.

left them in place.

In the silent silence, everything becomes unimportant, whether it is persistence or grievances, it is like water vapor, dissipating in the long silence.

But only now did he suddenly feel that Ai Qing was real. Not the lonely phantom in those fragments of memory from the past, or the woman who clings to something higher and feels out of reach.

She really exists in this world.

Right next to him, only a short distance away.

You can even hear her heartbeat and breathing.

In the silence, they seem to be no longer alone, freed from the shadows and grievances of the past, and accompany each other in this cruel world.

Even if it's only for a short time.

Until the torrential rain gradually thinned out.

Ai Qing slowly got up from the ground and looked into the distance.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah." She nodded.

"There's nothing you want to say to me?" Huai Shi looked at her, and after he finished speaking, he thought for a while and added, "You know, for example, parting words, suggestions, or words of farewell and regret." If you want to apologize, there is still time."

"Sorry, are you dreaming?"

Ai Qing ruthlessly snuffed out his fantasy, and after thinking for a while, she said seriously: "If you really want to have any advice, just learn to be more cruel... Don't be a bad person, but don't become too bad either. "

She said, "Don't become like me."

Seeing Huai Shi's stunned look, she shook her head and laughed: "From nine years ago to today, I have been thinking about how to gain more power and status, how to find other people's excuses, Take revenge on those who oppressed me...

Should such a life be said to be bleak or fulfilling? It's completely incomprehensible..."

"But there's only one thing I can say for sure."

Ai Qing said seriously:

"—These few hours just passed have been the most free time in my life."

She lowered her head, stared into the boy's pupils, and said solemnly.

"Thank you, Huai Shi."

Huai Shi was stunned for a long time, coughed a few times dryly, and couldn't help but look away: "If I really want to thank you, can you stay and act like a horse to repay me?"

"Stop dreaming, Huai Shi, in stories, isn't that something that happens in the next life?"

She took a step back, as if she was about to leave after get off work, and told him calmly.

"Goodbye, Huai Shi."

She turned around and walked towards the rain, step by step into the rain.

When she saw those sneaky shadows that were lingering behind the rain curtain, she showed her signature mocking smile, looked away, and dismissed them.

Stand still from the lonely rain.

"I surrender myself here."

Ai Qing raised her head and said to the sky that was empty except for the cloudy clouds: "Everything Huai Shi did was my order and command, he was just fulfilling his own duties."

At that moment, the rainstorm stopped abruptly.

It was as if the world had frozen at this moment.

Countless hastily falling rainwater hovered in the air, illuminated by the bright light that suddenly appeared in the void. Dazzling lights burst out from the void, piercing through the rain, and covering Ai Qing's body.

It was like countless suns rising instantly in the rain and fog.

Under the reflection of countless suns, the shadow of a huge building slipped out of the void without a sound, standing on the desolate and muddy land.

In an instant, even the mud dried up instantly, turning into a solid and neat green grass.

And just above the high gray wall, among countless dazzling lights, the logo of the Astronomical Society hangs coldly high, overlooking the sinners who reined in before the final limit.

The icy breath spread in all directions, deterring all lunatics who dared to harbor evil intentions.

Without any mercy, a chilling warning was issued.

Either stay still.

or die.

So no one dared to step forward.

Only two men in black with sunglasses came forward, as if they had been waiting for a long time, looked at Ai Qing, then looked up at Huai Shi who was lying under the city gate, and asked a few words softly.

After Ai Qing answered, they nodded, took out the handcuffs, and handcuffed Ai Qing's wrists.

"Ms. Ai Qing, the Ministry of Justice has assessed and reviewed the laws you violated, and you will be temporarily detained. Your trial will be held in a week."

After showing her the document with the seal of the Astronomical Society and the signature of the Ministry of Justice, the leading man in black asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"No, I believe Tianwen will give me a fair verdict." Ai Qing shook her head calmly, and then said: "But before that, can you give me a blanket? I'm a bit cold."

Soon, a light and warm blanket appeared in the hands of the woman in black, covering Ai Qing's shoulders.

"Is it all right?" she asked.

Ai Qing nodded, turned around, and followed them to the door that opened with a bang without any resistance.

Finally, he heard shouts behind him.

"Wait a moment!"

At some point, Huai Shi had gotten up from the ground in embarrassment.

He propped up his body with the sword of virtue, and shouted at Ai Qing: "Wait a minute, Ai Qing!"

Panting heavily, Huai Shi stared fixedly at her back, and said with all her might, "There is one more question...I have one more question to ask you!"

There was one more question he had to ask.

He was afraid that if he didn't ask again, he would have no chance in the future.

But when Ai Qing turned around, he fell into silence, his lips were murmured, but he couldn't speak.

The two men in black didn't seem to be in a hurry, and they were tolerant of this kind of thing. Rather, after witnessing all this from the beginning to the end, the eyes behind the sunglasses looked at Huai Shi with admiration and sympathy. Just a few minutes, can afford to wait.

Ai Qing calmly looked at Huai Shi's flushed face.

Awaiting his questions.

It seems that the cruelest answer has been prepared.

"you……"

Huai Shi hesitated for a long time, but finally mustered up the courage, and asked loudly, "Where did you buy your divine grace?"

"..."

In the dead silence, Ai Qing froze.

The words she was about to blurt out got stuck in her throat. After a long, long time, she finally realized that she shrugged her shoulders uncontrollably and let out a chuckle.

Not just self-deprecating or helpless.

Obviously should be angry, but I don't know why, but there is an indescribable helplessness.

"As expected, I still hate you, Huai Shi..."

She took one last look at Huai Shi, turned around and disappeared into the darkness behind the gate.

The whole world hates you the most.

Behind her, the door slammed shut.

The dazzling sun and the emblem of the Astronomical Society disappeared together with the huge and cold building, and only the gradually exhausted rainwater dripped feebly from the sky.

Huai Shi staggered back a step, leaning against the wet wall.

"what……"

He smiled softly and shook his head, "Aren't you even willing to send me a link? Isn't it too indifferent?"

No one answered.

Through the sparse rain and gradually dissipating clouds, he saw the distant sun gradually sinking into the night, and in the clear dusk, there were erratic stars shining from the dim sky.

The rain is about to stop.

He closed his eyes tiredly.

Immediately afterwards, I felt the rain on my face stop abruptly.

There was a black umbrella propped on top of his head, and a passing cowherd looked down at his helpless look and laughed gleefully.

"Yo, boy, are you broken in love?"

Huai Shi rolled her eyes at him, thought for a while, and then asked suddenly.

"Are you free?" he said. "Go to the bar. . . My treat."

"Okay." Liu Dongli smiled and stretched out his hand, pulling him up from the ground, "Let's go... But, have you thought about the toast yet?"

"Respect death, how about it?"

"Not bad, is there anything else?"

"Respect freedom."

Huai Shi took one last look at the direction Ai Qing was leaving, smiled softly, and walked forward.

He said, "I am free."

Thank you for the long wait, there will probably be another chapter tomorrow, and this volume will be over.

Life is not easy, Fengyue sighs
