Wasteland Love Game

Chapter 421 World Line Ten: Chivalrous Sword and Bravery

After the border of the central area was breached, I led the army to break through the enemy's formation, killing the enemy with their helmets and armor, and fled in despair.

Just as I was about to step into the central area, Mr. Chen's hacker girlfriend stopped me and gave me a mobile phone.

"Beheader, this phone has located the head of Confucianism." Hekalisi said to me:
"This is the plan I entrusted to you, go and complete your final revenge!"

"Thank you." I took the phone respectfully and ran towards the red dot on the map.

——As expected of Mr. Chen, he actually considered me so thoughtfully.
I sighed in my heart.

In fact, I have always understood that Mr. Chen and I are in a relationship of mutual use.I need Mr. Chen to assist me in revenge, and Mr. Chen also needs to rely on my strength to realize the plan.

But if it weren't for Mr. Chen, I'm afraid I would have died on that autumn festival, drowning in the siege and arrest of the three sects with the obsession of revenge.

Before encountering planning, I have been thinking about a problem.That is, is my revenge really necessary?

Can my revenge make my people smile at Jiuquan?Can my revenge change anything?Is my revenge really for righteousness, or am I trying to make up for the guilt in my heart?
I regretted it at the time.If I didn't hide the core of the earth, if I took the initiative to return the treasure to the three sects, if I communicated with my father earlier and found a countermeasure, if I could stand up and take responsibility before the Chu family was destroyed.
At that time, I was lurking in the Taoist gate waiting for the chance of revenge, I kept thinking, if I could go back to the past and do it all over again, I would definitely not let my family and the people of Gusu Town be implicated.

So before I encountered planning, I was already overwhelmed by this sense of guilt.I can see hallucinations every day, I can hear the people and tribesmen in Gusu Town crying and wailing at me every day, and I am woken up by nightmares every day.

Until I couldn't stand this sense of guilt anymore, and started to secretly assassinate those sect elders who participated in the Chu family massacre case.

Every time I kill someone, the sense of guilt in my heart will decrease a bit, and the nightmare in my heart will also decrease a bit.

But soon, those negative emotions would flare up again, and I would have to kill again.

I have lived like a maggot for many years, thinking that I was trying my best, but in fact I was just struggling helplessly.

Until that autumn festival, I met planning.

The planning was not frightened by me like ordinary people; I was not reprimanded for my atrocities like the Holy Mother; nor was I taught to let go of hatred and purify my soul like a monk.

He just smiled and said to me: "It's not you who are at fault, but the culprits who caused the massacre case. Act now, and I will help you massacre all three sects!"

That day, I suddenly seemed to be pushed slightly by someone, suddenly lost my balance, fell from the stake, and fell into madness from then on.

With the support of Mr. Chen, I mercilessly slaughtered all the three sects and avenged the blood ten years ago.

However, Mr. Chen told me that this is not enough.

What really caused the tragedy of extermination ten years ago was not the three sects, but the capital plutocrats behind them, the plutocratic federation located in the central area.

I know that Mr. Chen is trying to use me to fight against the chaebol association, but I was really persuaded by him.

As the highest administrative department of Yeshu City, if the Plutocratic Federation had not secretly acquiesced and supported it, how could the extermination case have happened?

However, even if I kill countless people, even if my sword is already stained with blood, will my revenge have any meaning?
I can still dream of the people and family members in Gusu Town wailing to me every night, crying that I killed them.The enemies I killed will also enter my dreams, shouting "You are just a murderer like us!"

Mr. Chen has talked with me countless times, and he hopes that I can cheer up and get rid of the knot as soon as possible.

But my knot, how can he untie it with just a few words?
I have killed countless people, and I will kill countless people in the future.I am not a righteous knight, I am not a persistent avenger, I am just a cruel killer, just like the people I kill.

It wasn't until Mr. Chen and I came to Sky City that my knot was completely untied.

That day, in front of my eyes, the gate of the nuclear reactor located at the bottom of Sky City slowly opened, and the high temperature and flames behind the gate poured out like heat waves.

At that time, I knew very well that if I could not close the gate by myself, most of the residents in the city would be killed by nuclear explosion and radiation, including Mr. Chen and Miss Setia.

"But am I still qualified to be a knight who saves others?" I thought to myself at the time.

However, at that moment, a hallucination of family members appeared in front of my eyes.They encouraged and preached to me, and finally made me realize.

Human beings should have diversity and complexity, and should not be bound by one or two labels or titles.Not to mention being labeled by others, you can't subconsciously cater to that "label" and become what others expect.

I can be a tyrannical murderer, a ruthless avenger, and an upright knight.

I kill people not only for slaughter, but also for revenge, and even more for protection.As long as my behavior has cause and effect and reasons, there is no need to feel regret.

I am me.No one can define me, no one can limit me, and no one can veto me, not even myself.

I can understand this, thanks to Mr. Chen.

It was he who kept me from dying in that autumn, it was he who made me complete the revenge I dreamed of, it was he who took me to the sky city, it was he who told me "just let go and do it!" at the darkest moment of my life.

"."

Following the guidance of the mobile phone navigation, I ran wildly on the streets of the central area, and finally came to a manor decorated in Chinese style.

I saw a middle-aged man in a white Confucian robe sitting in the gazebo in the middle of the garden, drinking tea, and talking to someone on the phone.

"Yes, I know! The border of the central area has been breached. What are those soldiers and barbarians doing for food? So much money wasted to support them!" The man in the Confucian robe was talking on the phone:

"Don't worry, it will take half an hour for the rebels to come in. I have arranged a helicopter here, and I will take the whole family to escape immediately!"

I narrowed my eyes and stared at the Confucian robe man from a distance.

I recognized him, he is the head of the Confucian sect in Kunlun District, and the culprit who led the Confucian sect to participate in the Chu family extermination case, with the Taoist name "Tenglong Jushi".

I drew the sword from my waist and walked towards him with scarlet eyes.

Layman Tenglong saw me, stood up in fright, and asked me loudly, "Who is here?!"

"Son of the Chu family, Chu Jianlai." I said my name through gritted teeth, and approached him with my sword:

"I recognize you. You are the head of the Confucian School, Tenglong Jushi, and I have come to seek revenge on you."

"Chuchuchuchujianlai?!" Layman Tenglong backed away in fright and shouted:

"Security! Where is the security?! Come here! Someone is trespassing illegally!"

But I won't give him the chance to continue calling for help.I suddenly pushed the muscles of my legs, rushed in front of him with a lunge, and pressed the blade against his neck.

"I didn't expect the head of Confucianism to be a soft-footed coward." I stared coldly at Layman Tenglong and said with a smile:
"When I came to Confucianism Master Mountain to seek revenge, you abandoned the sect's disciples and fled first. Now that you see me, are you so afraid?"

"I, I, you, you, calm down first, we can talk." Layman Tenglong was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

"Talk? It's very similar to your style. When you encounter threats, you want to talk to the other party, trying to save your life with money." I snorted and asked again:
"If you had known that you would die by my sword, would you still have done that outrageous thing?"

"Listen...listen, Chu Jianlai, don't be in a hurry!" Seeing that my killing intent had been decided, Layman Tenglong wiped the rain-like sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath and said:

"I would like to express my heartfelt apology for the evil deeds I directed the Confucian sect to do ten years ago! I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have agreed to the order of the Chaebol Federation and brought people here to grab treasures!"

"Oh? You mean that you were not voluntary, but forced by the chaebol association?" I looked at him coldly and asked.

"That's right! You also know that although we call ourselves Confucianism, it has nothing to do with those things that are about people. It's just a name!" Layman Tenglong quickly argued:

"We are the military factory that cooperates with the Radiation Bird Company, and we are under the orders of the Zaibatsu Federation! If I hadn't received the order of the Zaibatsu Federation back then, how could I have brought people to grab the treasure?!"

"But you did, that is an indisputable fact!" I raised my chin and sneered:

"A real man stands up to the heavens and the earth, and dare not take it upon himself to do something?"

"Then why don't you go to the Chaebol Federation!" Layman Tenglong begged me:

"I can try my best to help you, and it will be regarded as compensation to you, as long as you can forgive me!"

"Forgive you?" I raised my eyebrows and asked, "Do you think you can be forgiven?"

"Master said... when is it time to repay the wronged? If you are blindly obsessed with revenge, you will only go astray!" Layman Tenglong's forehead was dripping with sweat, and his two strands were fighting:
"You... you go find the culprit, I will help you avenge you! I will give you money, supplies, weapons, and help you find the whereabouts of the federation officials related to the incident... as long as you can let me go! This is not Is it a win-win?"

"Hmph~" I showed a contemptuous look, and withdrew my sword:
"Your ugliness is really disgusting, but what you said is not unreasonable. When will the grievance be repaid... Anyway, I will reluctantly forgive you."

Layman Tenglong was also frightened and fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

After a long while, Layman Tenglong saw that I hadn't moved, so he got up and patted the dust, and said, "I'll give you the contact information, and if you have anything to do in the future, just contact me directly! I will repay the favor of not killing you today!"

After speaking, Layman Tenglong threw me a business card, and then turned to leave.

In the next moment, I slammed a sword and slashed at his ankle.

Layman Tenglong's leg was cut off by my sword blade, and he fell to the ground in pain and howled.

"Chu Jianlai! What are you doing?!" He hugged his severed ankle, looking up at me in pain and incomprehension.

"Did I say you can go?" I asked coldly.

"But you're not. Didn't you say you'd forgive me?" Layman Tenglong clenched his teeth and hugged his bleeding foot angrily.

"Yes, blindly pursuing revenge will only lead to losing yourself, so I forgive you." I waved the blood on the sword and said calmly:

"I promise you won't hurt your family, as long as they don't provoke me in the future."

"You, you, you, you. You broke your promise!" Layman Tenglong cursed angrily.

"But did I say that I want to let you go?" I raised my sword and slashed at Layman Tenglong again:

"Take a good taste of the pain of those victims ten years ago."

I slashed at Layman Tenglong's knee with a sword, cutting off his lower leg.

"Ahh! Chu Jianlai! You bastard, stop!" Layman Tenglong yelled at me in despair:

"No! I know I'm wrong! I know I'm wrong! Stop, let's have a good talk!"

"We met once 15 years ago, when you kindly called me "Master Chu". "I stared at this embarrassed man covered in blood with mocking eyes, and said:

"But now, you don't even want to call me young master."

As I said that, I slashed down with my sword again, cutting off his entire left arm.

"Ahh! My hand! Stop it, Master Chu! No, Master Chu!" Layman Tenglong's screams were like livestock being sent to a slaughtering machine:

"I, Layman Tenglong, humbly beg you today! I beg Uncle Chu to spare my life! From now on, I will go to Gusu Town every year to comfort the souls of the dead! I will go to confess! I will kneel for 49 days to repent!"

"Lady Tenglong, the head of the Confucian sect. Ten years ago you led the Confucian sect to participate in the massacre, and your disciples killed 16 members of the Chu family and more than 40 people in Gusu town. This crime is unforgivable." My eyes were cold, and I muttered in a low voice. :
"If begging for mercy is useful, when those dead begged you for mercy, did you ever think about letting them go?! I will fight against the chaebol association myself, and I will not let anyone who participated in the massacre back then be spared. including you!"

Hearing that I had made up my mind to kill, Layman Tenglong finally broke the jar.With disheveled hair, he pointed at me and cursed:

"Hahaha! Chu Jianlai! I knew it! I knew you wouldn't let me go! You evil beast, you Chu family evil beast! Your Chu family are all evil beasts. You don't know good or bad. The evil animal of the treasure!"

"." I frowned, and cut off the right arm of Layman Tenglong with a sword.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You have no parents! Come on, give this old man a good time!" Layman Tenglong scolded even more rampantly, like a flashback:

"Come on! Kill me! This old man is lucky for your mother! This old man and your mother gave birth to a son! And your sister! I want to be lucky for her too! I want to be lucky for her every day on Huangquan Road! Hahaha !"

"Don't scold me. Mother. And. Me. Sister. Sister." The veins on my forehead popped up, and I suddenly decided to make his death more painful.

I was going to chop off his thigh, but I decided to only chop off a third of his thigh.

"Puff—!" With a slash of the sword, Layman Tenglong let out another scream, still cursing in his mouth.

"Don't you have the slightest regret?" I stared at him and asked, "Even if it's just a little regret?"

"The strong prey on the weak, natural selection! What did I do wrong?" Layman Tenglong asked me angrily and miserably:
"And what are you? Are you a hero? A chivalrous man? Or a brave man with a deep hatred? No! You are also a murderer! You are a... a murderer just like us!"

"Yes, of course I am a murderer." I nodded and smiled wryly:
"But on the road of my revenge, I gradually understood one thing."

"I can be a murderer, a chivalrous man, or a brave man. My sword can kill creatures, but it can also save lives."

"From now on, there will be no chaebol associations in the world. Mr. Chen and I will build a new Yeshu City. It will be a city where there will be no more suffering and oppression, and no one will have to fight to avenge their families. go astray."

"."

Five minutes later, I walked out of Layman Tenglong's house with my sword in hand.

Layman Tenglong was chopped into pieces by my chaotic sword, and he was still staring at me with eyes like a ghost before he died.

I believe that when he ordered his disciples to massacre the people in Gusu Town ten years ago, those innocent people also stared at him with the same eyes.

The last culprit of the three sects involved in the Chu Family Tumen case was also killed.

But there is no emptiness in my heart because I have new responsibilities.

I am now the king of Sky City, I am Mr. Chen's friend, and I am Miss Setia's titular husband. Now I want to help everyone build a new Yeshu City.

"Go and see Mr. Chen." For some reason, I suddenly had such an urge.

Obviously, the most important thing I should do now is to return to the front line and continue to command operations.

But I have a premonition in my heart, as if if I don't see Mr. Chen now, I won't see him later.

Thinking to myself, I stimulated my leg muscles and ran towards the ruins of the Union Building as fast as possible.

When I came to the ruins of the Union Building, I suddenly heard someone shouting from below:
"Swordsman? Why are you here?!"

The voice was full of surprises, and it sounded like Mr. Chen.

"Mr. Chen, are you downstairs?" I walked to the ruins and tried to push aside the cement board covering the top.

However, at the next moment, a white light suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

I found myself in a pure white world, standing in front of Mr. Chen and a black-haired woman floating in the air like a fairy.

"Where is this?" I looked around vigilantly, but found that there was nothing but white.

"Chu Jianlai, I know you're confused, but time is running out, and I can't explain everything to you." Mr. Chen stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder:

"I just want to ask you one thing. I am about to leave Yeshu City and go to an extremely far away place. Are you willing to go with me?"

"Leaving Yeshu City...?" I looked at Mr. Chen hesitantly.His tone didn't sound like a joke.

"Why do you want to leave Yeshu City? The chaebol federation is about to fall, and the city needs you to lead it!" I asked puzzled.

"Because he wants to find the truth about his life." The master on the side said:

"He may need a booster, and you are the only one at the moment."

"That is to say... Mr. Chen needs someone to accompany him to leave Yeshu City, and that person can only be me?" I asked again to confirm the intention in their words:
"Mr. Chen, can you explain in more detail? I don't understand very well."

"To put it simply, I was not from this world, but I was framed to death and came to Yeshu City by accident!" Mr. Chen continued to say to me:

"Now I have a chance to go back. I want to investigate some things clearly, such as why I died in the first place, and why I came to Yeshu City! For this, I need to bring some helpers! And you, Chu Jianlai, you are the only helper who can accompany me back to that world!"

"." Maybe there was too much information, and I suddenly fell into a state where I couldn't think.

After a while, I asked in a low voice: "What about Yeshu City? Don't you care about Yeshu City?"

"I" was questioned by me, and Mr. Chen seemed to be in a tangle.He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said:
"But I... still want to go back. There are always moments in life that make you abandon everything to chase another illusory thing. I want to go back to that world to investigate some things first. When the things over there are resolved, I will think Find a way to come back and see you!"

"Mr. Chen" I sighed deeply.

I understand that Mr. Chen is in trouble, and now is the time for me to help him.

But if I leave this world, what will happen to Sky City?What about Yeshu City?What should Miss Setia do?
I am no longer just a knight or an avenger, I now shoulder a lot of responsibilities.

"Sorry, Mr. Chen." I shook my head regretfully, gritted my teeth and said:
"I respect you very much, and I am willing to help you, but I can't leave. Sky City needs me, and Yeshu City is waiting to be built. I can't leave everything behind and leave with you."

"Yes, I left everything behind." Mr. Chen shook his head in frustration and sighed:
"I know it's irresponsible for me to do this. If you don't want to go with me, you can stay. I won't force you."

"Mr. Chen" I looked at Mr. Chen's tangled face, so I took off the sword from my waist.

"This sword is for you, Mr. Chen." I stuffed the sword into Mr. Chen's arms:
"This is one of my treasured swords, and you will be its owner in the future."

"Don't you like collecting swords?" Mr. Chen looked at me strangely:
"Every time you just get an inferior sword, and change it when the blade breaks."

"After becoming the king of Sky City, I began to face up to my identity as a swordsman, so I started collecting swords." I shrugged and explained:

"May this sword be able to prosper with your martial arts, and the road ahead will be unimpeded!"

"Thank you." Mr. Chen hung the sword on his waist and nodded to me with a smile.

"Let me tell you, is it really okay if you don't take him back with you?" The master craftsman held his chin and reminded Chen Entropy:

"Then you still have to leave alone~"

"It's okay~" Mr. Chen replied with a smile:
"Before I leave, I can chat with acquaintances, and see that the crazy man who was obsessed with revenge has already gained the consciousness of serving the country and the people, which is quite gratifying."

"Mr. Chen" I sighed, feeling extremely sad.

"Although I've never called you that before, I think with our relationship, I should call you 'brother'." Mr. Chen suddenly came to my side and warmly embraced my shoulders:

"After I leave, I hope you can inherit my will and lead Yehu City and Sky City to a bright future. However, I also hope that you will not forget your original intention on the throne. Never forget to fight, never forget you Why fight!"

"I see, Mr. Chen." I nodded and said, "I will never forget Mr.'s teachings in this lifetime!"

"Brother, in fact, I have always been sorry for you." Mr. Chen took a deep breath, and then received:

"The Chu family extermination case, I really hope it never happened. If there is a choice, I want that disaster never to happen."

"This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Chen, why should Mr. Chen blame himself?" I asked in great bewilderment:
"Besides, Mr. Chen helped me to avenge, it's too late for me to be grateful!"

The master at the side smiled meaningfully and said, "There are still ten seconds! If you have anything to say, finish quickly~"

"Anyway, see you in Jianghu~" Mr. Chen looked up at the sky and sighed inexplicably.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his fist to me, and said solemnly:

"There will be a period later, Chu Jianlai!"

"I wish you good luck, see you again." I also stretched out my fist and touched his fist:
"There will be a period later, Mr. Chen Entropy!"

Just when our fists collided, Mr. Chen's body suddenly disappeared into a phantom.

The fairy woman also disappeared, and the surrounding white space suddenly collapsed, and I returned to the ruins of the Union Building again.

Everything is like a strange hallucination, a strange dream.

Later, I heard that Mr. Chen disappeared.

In the ruins of the Union Building, the body of the "planner" was not found, only the body of the professor was found.

I didn't tell anyone about my last encounter with Mr. Chen, and it was finally decided to give him a decent funeral.

Mr. Chen once told me that if one day he dies, he hopes to hold a funny and fun funeral.It's best to let everyone laugh out loud, without even a chance to cry.In the end, everyone ate and drank enough to go home and sleep, and the sun rose as usual the next day.

At the funeral, some of the women who had a good relationship with him tried to calm down or smile, but some cried like rain.

But they were all strong people, and they quickly recovered their mood, and began to set about establishing a new order for Yeshu City.

And I continued to return to Sky City to be the king, and reached an in-depth strategic partnership with Yeshu City.

By the way, I got married to Setia later.Although part of it is due to political reasons, the most important reason is that I don't want to disappoint this girl who has liked me for more than ten years. At least I have to give her a rectification of her name.

As for Mr. Chen, it seems that as he himself said, he has gone to another world, the world that should belong to him.

I don't hate him for abandoning Yeshu City, because everyone has his own aspirations, he just pursued his own path.

But as a reward and longing for Mr. Chen, I will urge Yeshu City to become what Mr. Chen wants, and I will do my best to protect it.

Even if this period is 1 years.

"END~"

　Chu Jianlai line.
