His memories were still a bit chaotic. That sudden sense of emptiness still lingered in Lu Chen's heart, making him feel somewhat fearful and uneasy. In fact, if it was a complete emptiness, it would be like sleeping soundly at night, completely unaware of what had happened outside in the dead of night. Of course, there was nothing to be upset about.
But in Lu Chen's heart, there was always an inexplicable shadow swaying back and forth in his heart. He tried his best to recall what had happened in that blank period of time, but he just couldn't remember it. Yet there were one or two jumping-off effects that kept flashing through his mind.
He didn't know what the meaning of those inexplicable and strange, or perhaps it could be said that everything was blurry, or perhaps it was all his own hallucinations and overthinking. But in his heart, there was always a voice that he couldn't get rid of.
It made his hair stand on end, made him break out in cold sweat, made him continuously search for the past, always returning without any results, but he still couldn't give up.
That mournful and angry roar seemed to always echo in his mind. That voice's origins were unfathomable, perhaps he had never heard these words in his life, but it seemed to be engraved in the deepest part of his heart, never leaving.
Those words were like a knife, coldly illuminating the darkest depths of his heart.
That voice shouted, "You actually killed even her …"
…
"En …" A low groan, containing a trace of pain, echoed in Lu Chen's ears. Lu Chen's body trembled, and then he woke up from his imagination and endless bewilderment. He shook his head, feeling helpless towards that almost completely blank and blurry memory.
His hand was still holding White Lotus's palm. Probably because he had rubbed and carried her several times, the smell of blood on White Lotus's body had already weakened a lot, and the blood that was originally dripping had also gradually dried up, no longer flowing wantonly. Correspondingly, Lu Chen's cloak seemed to be completely dyed red.
Lu Chen composed himself, thinking back to that terrifying conjecture he had just made. For some reason, he actually shivered. For a man with a strong will like him, this was quite rare. But when he looked at White Lotus again, he carefully examined White Lotus's face, silently staring.
After a long while, he suddenly sighed softly, saying to himself, "It really seems a bit similar."
After saying this, he didn't say anything more. He only looked like he had made up his mind, no longer hesitating. His hand that was holding her, suddenly clenched tightly, and then he closed his eyes.
The room was extremely quiet until suddenly, a low whistling sound could be heard from an unknown place. Then, a gust of wind blew from a corner of the room, blowing up a corner of Bai Lian's cloak.
The man sitting next to the young girl had a calm expression, his eyes tightly closed, as if he was concentrating on thinking about something. and on his body, there was suddenly a faint light, and then darkness rose, turning into a dark flame, silently.
"Everything depends on your own fate, okay …"
There was a hint of helplessness in his words, but it also made others feel that he was being particularly irresponsible. Perhaps if White Lotus were awake right now, she would probably be seething with anger and give Lu Chen a good scolding.
The black flame burned, moving around Lu Chen's body, and then gradually gathered on his right arm, beginning to move closer to White Lotus's soft hand.
Outside the room, Black Dog, who was lying on the ground lazily, suddenly felt something. It turned back to look at the closed door of the room, a faint dark flame also flashed in its eyes, but after a while, it buried its head between its front legs, lying on the ground, and yawned.
Sometimes, people are so stupid, always looking for trouble for themselves, right?
…
When the sky was completely dark, Atsu was lying on the stone steps outside the door, snoring loudly. The cold night wind blew past, ruffling the shiny black fur on Atsu's body. It didn't seem to care about the cold at all, and it didn't disturb its sweet dream at all. But suddenly, there was a sudden light footstep behind it, and the ears of Atsu, which was still asleep a moment ago, suddenly pricked up, and then its eyes opened. Two cold green lights suddenly appeared in the dark night.
The footsteps immediately stopped, but it was already too late. Ah-Tu's entire body was like a taut spring, leaping up in an instant. In the darkness of the night, he was like a deep bow and arrow, flying over in an instant. Accompanied by a terrifying roar, he instantly pounced on the figure that suddenly appeared and threw him to the ground. Then, his snow white fangs were already on the person's neck.
In the next moment, the person's neck was about to be bitten off.
"Hey, hey, hey … Stop, it's me, Old Ma, it's me!" The person who was pounced on struggled desperately, but then he resisted, because his neck was being bitten by a row of terrifying teeth, and his skin was a little painful, as if it would break and bleed at any moment …
Atsu's movement paused for a moment, and after a moment, the dark green light in its eyes gradually faded. It then opened its mouth, took two steps back, and returned to the stone steps in front of the door, lying on the ground, and yawned.
From the beginning to the end, this dog didn't seem to show any feelings of guilt or embarrassment for biting the wrong person, as if nothing had happened.
Old Ma sat up from the ground, touched his thick and short neck with his hand, and couldn't help but curse, and then said to Atsu not far away, "Stupid dog, you almost bit me to death, do you know that?"
Atsu glanced at him lazily, and wagged its tail, which seemed to be expressing a very reluctant apology. Old Ma was half to death by this dog, and stood up while cursing, but there was nothing he could do, because behind this dog was Lu Chen.
He glanced around, and then looked at the door, and said, "Is Lu Chen inside?"
Atsu did not respond.
Old Ma wanted to go forward and knock on the door, but Atsu suddenly stood up, stopped him, and stared at him, not letting him go up the stairs. Old Ma was stunned for a moment, and frowned, "What is he doing inside? Why don't you let me disturb him? I have something urgent to tell him. "
Atsu wagged its tail, and didn't say a word, looking like a strong guard. Old Ma was a little helpless, and said to himself, "Have I become stupid? Why do I have to reason with this dog …"
Just when he was hesitating whether to leave, suddenly he heard the door behind Atsu squeak, but it was opened from the inside, and then the figure of Lu Chen slowly came out.
A looming smell of blood floated over with his steps. Old Ma was delighted, and hurriedly greeted him, saying, "You finally came out, did you hear what I said? Let me tell you … "
Lu Chen seemed to be a little tired, and gently waved his hand to stop Old Ma. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said to Old Ma with a little determination, "I have to leave."
Old Ma was stunned, and for a moment he forgot what he wanted to say, and said, "Where are you going?"
"To the barren valley," said Lu Chen, "I have to go there."
