When she heard that, a suffocating chill flashed across Candace's eyes. However, she tried her best to explain in a gentle tone, "Silly child … Of course, you are my son …"
"When I found out I wasn't human, that was the first thought that popped up in my mind …" Feng Bujue said, "Now that I think about it … the words on the back of the picture — 'Arthur and Andrew, my children, my love'. Whether it was me or Arthur who saw it, it was the same … isn't it?"
Feng Bujue looked at Candace's only eye and said darkly, "Actually, you're not only after his power, you're after mine as well. Arthur and I aren't human, and we're not your children. The only difference is … I'm more innocent and easier to control. " He scoffed. "You really are a scary woman. I can't help but be impressed by your shrewdness …"
Many fragments flashed before Feng Bujue's eyes. Every clue on the information network in his mind became clearer and clearer, and it was leading him to the core of the truth.
Feng Bujue stood up and said, "Arthur said 'my silly little brother' to me twice. The first time was when we were very young, about 10 years old … At the time, he obviously realized he was different. He knew he was adopted. And I still treated him like a real brother. I trusted, admired, and respected him. That's why he said those words. That's his acknowledgment of me as a brother and kinship. "
He paused for a moment before continuing, "And just now, Arthur said the same thing for the second time. He also said, 'You think you're so smart, but this … is the price you have to pay'. " He smiled. "Initially, I thought it was sarcasm from the winner, but as I slowly realized … I realized there was sympathy and helplessness in his tone.
Then, for what reason did he call me stupid the second time? "
At this point, Feng Bujue changed his tone and started to narrate from the perspective of a player. "Arthur is very clever. There is no reason that he would not have thought of the things that I have predicted. It is just a matter of time.
After the failed refinement, Arthur received the message that Andrew was' not human '. After that, he naturally started a series of deductions...
The information I had was limited, but I could still make the same assumption. Arthur, on the other hand, knows you better than I do, so he soon figured it out … Andrew is not your child. "
Feng Bujue sighed. "Perhaps out of pity, or perhaps out of guilt, Arthur decided not to tell his brother the truth because he knew that Andrew would not be able to accept the truth.
Under your bewitchment, Andrew believed that his brother had lied to him and that Arthur was a cruel devil. If Arthur tells him now that you, his so-called mother, are the one who is using him, and that he is just another vessel for your power … "
Feng Bujue pointed at his own face. "For someone who was deceived and used to end up like this, the truth is too cruel." He shook his head. "Arthur is a person who knows what to love and hate. Only with Andrew did he leave some leeway. He knew that his brother had betrayed him under your instigation, but he did not do anything. Even when the refinement was over, he did not kill him.
Since things had developed to this point, Arthur had already done his duty. He only left after telling me how to cure him. And he's very thoughtful. He asked me to ask you who Andrew's' biological father 'is. Heh … This is actually Arthur's way of covering it up for you. This way, you can conveniently reveal who Andrew is without exposing the fact that you're not his biological mother. "
"You … you are not Andrew. Who are you?" Candace looked at Feng Bujue with shock.
"I am the person who is here to free you," Feng Bujue replied.
As he said that, he squatted down again and pressed his hands on the ground to activate the refinement circle that he had drawn earlier.
Instantly, there was a flash of blood, and energy poured out from the surface of the circle.
Several seconds later, the light faded. Feng Bujue was still standing there. From an outsider's perspective, Andrew had returned to his normal appearance. The rotting corpses around him had disappeared.
Not far from him, Candace who was at the center of the circle had returned to her human appearance, but her body had started to rot. It was a painful rot …
"Your summoning mastery has been unlocked. There is a new mission in the log-in space."
"Ah! What's going on? What's going on! "Candace screamed crazily as she rolled on the ground in pain.
"I have to say, Arthur is a naive guy." At that moment, Feng Bujue's expression was more like that of a cold-blooded demon. "He left just like that, as if he had taken all the sin with him. But what about after that? Andrew healed himself and helped you return to your human body. Will you live peacefully as a mother and son in the future? After all that, will you let go of the child who has always treated you as his mother? "
Feng Bujue took several steps back to maintain a certain distance from Candace, who was struggling in pain. "I don't think that's possible … If you still have a conscience, you would have given up on that idea when the two children were very young.
If that was the case … Arthur wouldn't have harmed you when he was young. He would have accepted you as his mother just like how he accepted Andrew.
The fact that he did that means that you've never given up, and the threat is close …
After more than ten years, even if you raised two dogs, even if the original intention of raising them was to eat meat, even if the owner was not a woman, you should have given up by now. "
"What do you understand! They're monsters! They deserve to die! My husband, my children … they were all killed by monsters like them! " Candace used the last of her energy to scream. "What's wrong with me making these two little monsters pay for what they've done?" She laughed wickedly. "You want me to let them go? Hahaha … Every day, every minute! When I smiled at them, when I hugged them, when I coaxed them to sleep, I wanted to skin them alive! These monsters owe it to me! ' Is it wrong for me to demand repayment from them?! "
"So that's how it is … Due to your personal hatred, you took out your anger on their entire race and then captured two innocent children to complete a self-deceiving revenge." Feng Bujue concluded. "Ignoring your ridiculous logic, perhaps objectively speaking, what you did was not wrong … From the perspective of humans, the two brothers are indeed a threat to this world. However, if you look at it from the perspective of a human being … "
At that moment, Candace was at the brink of death. The decay had spread to her organs. Her eyes bulged out as she watched Feng Bujue take out something from his pocket. It was a small wooden comb, and on the comb was carved the word A.A.
"At that time … the family formed by three people who were not related by blood … The laughter, the tears, the happiness, was it all fake? When you wrote that sentence on the back of the picture, did you really not miss that period of time at all? "He paused for a moment before continuing." Do monsters have no humanity and emotions? From my perspective, humans can be crueler than monsters. It's this twisted world that created a real monster like you. "
Feng Bujue picked up the comb and placed it before his eyes. "This is just a normal piece of wood … It's the bond between brothers that saved Andrew from his pain." He lowered his eyes to look at Candace. "But in this world, what can save you?"
"The hidden mission has been completed.
You'll be teleported automatically after watching the ending. "
In an empty field, there was a large, dark house.
A figure walked out from the front door. He had blond hair, and his body was covered in dirt. His eyes were filled with emptiness and confusion.
At that moment, the clouds in the sky dispersed. Andrew saw a small figure standing not far away from him on the path before the door.
"Bro … brother." Andrew called out the man's name out of instinct, but he did not know what else to say.
"Because I was worried, I decided to take a look around before I left." Arthur still appeared calm. "What happened?"
"I … I killed her, I killed … mother …" When Andrew said that, two streams of tears leaked out from his eyes. He used his sleeve to wipe his face. "She … she's not my biological mother …"
"Okay, I know," Arthur interrupted him. He studied his brother up and down. "You've recovered?"
"Yes …" Andrew replied. "But I still don't know … what kind of monster I am …"
"Monster?" Arthur repeated and then scoffed. "Humph … Since you've recovered, it doesn't matter what you are anymore." Then he snapped his fingers.
At that moment, the fire soared into the sky. The house behind Andrew was like a lit matchstick, and it burned into a giant fireball.
"It's all over …" Arthur sighed and said, "What you need to do is to keep the good things in your memory and burn everything else." He looked at the sky. "It doesn't matter if you're a demon or a monster, the sun will rise tomorrow. If you're a monster, then live as a monster. There's nothing to be ashamed of. " He paused. "Now, I no longer have any reason to become a human and live a peaceful life … I want to leave this small place and explore the outside world. Do you want to come with me? Brother. "
"I …" Andrew hesitated for a few seconds, then he laughed. "Ha … Monster brothers whose hands are stained with blood, stirring up trouble on the Sati continent together?"
"Sounds good, doesn't it?" Arthur laughed.
"That's right … Big Brother." Andrew revealed a rare look of determination.
Under the moon, the wind blew.
Two figures walked side by side on a small road in the countryside. The fire behind them burned away the darkness of the past.
The road before them led to an unknown future.
