MTL - Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits-Chapter 195 The truth of the past
"Who did it? Was it the gray priests?" I asked eagerly. "Why are they attacking you? And what happened to Yancheng?"
Wen Jiubai looked at me with a meaningful look, "It's nothing, it's just ... Time is up. Bayi Chinese Website W≈WW.818W.COM"
"what?"
"Time is up." Wen Jiubai sighed, and then suddenly smiled, "Everything has its end, everything will eventually fall to dust. I am only one of them."
"Okay, stop talking silly!"
I can see that Wen Jiubai is very bad both physically and mentally. Even if I ask him now, I don't think I can get a decent answer.
I propped up his body with one hand and supported his waist with one hand. "Well, don't talk now, let's find a way to get out of here together?"
I wanted to stand him up, but Wen Jiubai shook his head instead and didn't cooperate with me at all.
"Gu Yu, don't bother. You have been here for so long. Have you seen any exits?"
I froze, but insisted, "How do you know without trying? Come on, I'm carrying you."
Wen Jiubai looked at me helplessly. Even at this time, his eyes still carried a kind of "no way to take you".
You're dying!
I asked Wen Jiubai to hold the torch, crouched down, and carried Wen Jiubai back with a bang. Strangely, although Wen Jiubai is so much taller than me, he is very light and not much different from the weight of a girl, so even if I am not strong, I can easily carry him back. Is it because he is so light, or is he bleeding too much?
"Gu Yu." He whispered my name in my ear. "You are really a good man."
"Yeah." I rolled my eyes and said with anger, "I'm sure I know how many times better than your disappointed man."
"Sometimes, you are so kind that you want me to marry you." Wen Jiubai whispered.
"Ha." I laughed dryly and walked on his back, "I will marry you if you want to marry. If you marry, you may be forced to wear women's clothing by my mother."
Wen Jiubai laughed in a muffled voice, "That's also very interesting."
"Only you would think so."
For a long time, we did not speak again. The long corridor echoed only our breathing and the sound of water splashes as I walked.
I don't know how long I walked on his back, and the walls around me seemed to endlessly. I walked around a corner, and the road ahead suddenly disappeared, and we were met by a cold wall.
"We are walking into a dead end." I said frustrated. "There is no way ahead."
"Gu Yu, let me down." Wen Jiubai's voice sounded behind him.
And I still refused to give up. I asked Towin Jiubai's legs and turned around. "It doesn't matter, we can try other ways."
"Gu Yu." Wen Jiubai's voice was much tougher this time, but he still had no energy to say too much, "Let me down."
I had to heed his orders, and slowly crouched down, allowing Wen Jiubai to sit down against the wall. He gasped, looking paler.
"You take a break and I'll see if there is another way." With that said, I stood up and prepared to see if there was any other branch in the place where I came to try.
But at this time, Wen Jiubao grabbed my corner.
"Gu Yu." Wen Jiubai's voice was a little hoarse, "Don't go."
I can hardly see Wen Jiubai's expression in the dim light, but he can feel it from his tone. He prayed to me with a low attitude he had never seen before.
So I gave up the original idea, crouched down beside him slowly, and the flames approached each other so that I could see his expression clearly.
Wen Jiubai was still Wen Jiubai. No pleading or weak expression was shown on his face, but his eyes clearly expressed his longing. I reached over his cheek, and tears suddenly fell.
"When did you intend to tell me?" I wiped my tears with the corner of my clothes and looked at him and asked.
"I'm really sorry, Gu Yu." Wen Jiubai murmured, "I'm not trying to hide you, but ..."
"I'm not talking about that." I interrupted Wen Jiubai and looked at him with anger. "When did you intend to tell me that you were in danger?"
Wen Jiubai first gave me a surprised look, then smiled, "I'm sorry."
"You never trust me and always treat me as a child. Even if I were a child, I would be hurt!" I said indignantly.
"Sorry." Wen Jiubai looked at me mildly. "But I never distrusted you. It's just that time has run out and fate hasn't arrived. Like I said, as long as the time comes, you will know one day."
"Is the time now?" I threatened. "If you dare to say 'No', I will immediately turn around and leave you alone to die here."
Wen Jiubai laughed, like I beckoned, pointed to the position next to him, and let me sit down.
"I know you have a whole body of questions to ask now, but can I ask one first?"
I sat down beside him and looked at him with some anger. Even now, Wen Jiubai still has to seize the opportunity to take the lead.
But what reason can I refute? I nodded. "No problem."
"Gu Yu, can you answer my question in the most straightforward and objective way?" He asked.
I nodded hesitantly, looking at Wen Jiubai. The expression of the latter was cloudy under the fire, but I never saw that expression, his eyes, his tight lips, clearly like ...
"You are scared." I asked softly, "Why?"
Wen Jiubai took a short breath and laughed, "No, I'm not just afraid. I was frightened."
"Why? What are you afraid of?"
"Afraid of the answer to this question I'm about to ask." Wen Jiubai turned his head to me. Even though his head was scattered, and his body was covered with blood and dust, he still couldn't hide his half beauty.
"Gu Yu, do you think I'm a good person?"
From his tone, I heard deep despair and pain. There was no expectation. The moment he asked the question, he already knew the answer to it.
I looked at him, speechless, mouth opened and closed, but my eyes hit his ordered gaze.
I have promised it, and I have to comply. Then I shook my head slightly, almost invisibly.
After getting my answer, Wen Jiubai breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "I know, you can see it, right?"
"I don't understand. The answer to this question doesn't matter at all!" I said toughly. "The most important question now is how can we get out of this ghost place ..."
"Gu Yu." Wen Jiubai interrupted me and said softly, "It's okay. Because I know what you want to ask me, you want to ask me if I am the fierce nine-tailed demon fox on the mural."
"I ..." I subconsciously wanted to refute, but soon annoyed that Wen Jiubai was right.
"Yes, I am." Wen Jiubai said calmly, "Today I will tell you everything you want to know, so you just ask."
How did things go like this? I scratched my head anxiously, and there were countless questions in my head.
