Gu Xu's hands tightened unconsciously, causing the blood-stained letter to wrinkle a little.

He looked at the body lying on the ground again, the pale face, the stiff body; Gu Xu had killed many people, he knew what the dead looked like.

Gu Xu reached out to his cheek and stroked the face that belonged to Gu Dashi.

This was not the first time he had seen Gu Dashi look so deathly-stricken.

In his previous life, he had seen such a face, frozen in fear on the falling head. And the first person he killed after his rebirth was also Gu Dashi.

He knew all too well what that face looked like in death.

Wu Huo couldn't help but say, "Master, we checked and it's not a disguise."

Gu Xu's hand paused.

The tip of his nose was still slightly red as he continued to look at the letter in his hand.

A few wet marks spread across the letter paper. The rain was getting heavier.

Gu Yue continued in the letter:

I don't know if God will give me another chance to be reborn. Maybe not. In many worlds, you can only take over another body once. Will I return to my own world? I would rather sleep forever. In my world, I have been alone for 22 years, which is enough.

...I lied to you, or maybe I just went with the flow. I can't explain why I followed you so firmly, and why I stayed even when you said you wanted to let me go. Should I say that I knew the future, that you would become the invincible regent? That would be like using you, I dare not answer like that, I can only go along with your misunderstanding and say that I am a vixen.

But I am not a fox spirit and cannot use the technique of shedding my soul. I am just an ordinary person who somehow ended up in Gu Dashi's body.

It's really suspicious, isn't it? You still trust me so much. You have been betrayed because of your trust, but you still choose to do this again.

I dare not let her down. Sometimes I wonder, why am I not a vixen?

Before I confessed my feelings to you, I thought of many possibilities. For example, you just had a precognitive dream, or you are another person in the universe, not Gu Xu, just like I am not Gu Dashi.

But you are the reborn Gu Xu, no doubt about it. As for me, I am a despicable person who knows the future and only wants to get benefits from you. I can't explain all this, and I don't want to leave. I can only try harder to do something for you, but the result is the opposite of what I want, and I keep causing trouble for you.

Now that I am dead, I can tell you all this. I have repaid you with my lucky life, so please don't resent me.

Let’s talk about the important things first.

If my plan failed and I died in Yunxi, the Su family would most likely take action. Wu Fei once found me halfway and said some resentful words. Under that circumstance, it was very likely that he had contact with Su Muying.

My suspicions about the Su family can be deduced as follows:

Firstly, the fact that Su Huaiyue wrote a letter asking for help clearly proved that the situation at that time was not a dead end, but he and his wife still died, and the Prince Shen’s Mansion was burned down.

Secondly, I have investigated the Prince Shen's mansion and the case files of that year, and I can confirm that Su Huaiyue and the other two did not commit suicide, but were killed by someone who broke into the mansion from the firewood room in the backyard, and then faked it to look like they hanged themselves. There are too many suspicious points, and the person who did it had no intention of covering up. It can be confirmed that they were very sure of this action.

However, the subsequent investigation actually concluded that the man committed suicide despite many doubts. You can investigate the official who was in charge of the matter to see if he had any connection with the Su family.

Third, to fake a suicide scene, one only had to set fire to the house where the body was. However, Prince Shen’s mansion was almost completely burned down, especially the study, from which almost no paper could be salvaged. Yet, there was no body in the study.

Can we infer that there is some important information in the study that no one wants to know? If the person who did it was someone from the Su family, then these things must be related to the Su family and extremely deadly, forcing Su Muying and others to kill him.

——Therefore, there was a group of people who knew Su Huaiyue's plan before she broke the game and killed her. I think there is only one explanation for this person's identity.

I'm sorry, Xiao Xu, the Su family will be your only relatives from now on. I don't want you to be alone, and I don't want you to be burdened by false family affection. Therefore, you have to be very careful.

The second thing is that I was the one who spread the rumors in Luoyang after I contacted Zhen Suhang. After I die, he will create momentum, saying that you killed the evildoers and avenged your great hatred. Rebellion requires reputation, I know it very well, so don't resist. This is the limited thing I can do for you, don't let it go to waste. Anyway, it's just Gu Dashi's reputation, I don't care.

The third thing is that my death will definitely be used by the forces in the court to make some articles. I lost the jade pendant, and I don’t know who will get it. Whether it is real or fake, it is all up to you to plan.

The last thing is just my guess. Lingfeng Pavilion is very likely the power of the Su family. Thinking about the past, it can be related to the Su family one by one, but it is not a concrete proof, so I will not speak out.

I don't want to leave you yet, I still have a lot to say to you, but I have said too much, how can I finish all the words in this life on a few thin pieces of paper? It's just that our fate is too shallow, just like this letter, no matter how long it is, it will come to an end.

Don't vent your anger on the brothers of Wumen, don't blame Shi San, and don't get angry at He Gui and the others. I forced them into this game, and this game is too dangerous. I hope they are safe.

Xiao Xu, we will meet again. Maybe in the next life.

……

The writing ends here.

The last sentence was unclear, completely stained red by blood. Gu Xu looked at it for a long time before he could barely make out what it said.

Gu Xu blinked, and tears mixed with rain flowed down his cheeks.

He stood up shakily and stuffed the stack of letter papers back into the envelope. Wu Huo hurried over to help him, but was rejected by Gu Xu.

Gu Xu's voice was a little hoarse, but he sounded exceptionally calm: "Take the body back, seal it in an ice coffin, and guard it day and night."

Wu Huo frowned fiercely, holding back the tears that were about to overflow, and turned around and ordered: "Take Boss Gu away!"

The secret guards of Wumen had already prepared the wooden frame and ropes for carrying the corpse, and they rushed over to surround it.

Gu Xu lowered his head and put the ring he had taken from the corpse back on his hand.

Wu Huo handed over the handkerchief, then ran to the front to direct everyone to work.

He knew very well the meaning of Gu Xu's order. After all, he also knew the process of "Gu Dashi"'s resurrection.

Master, are you waiting for...?

The two secret guards in front and behind lifted the wooden frame. Before they took a few steps, a group of people rushed out of the woods in the distance.

"Master Gu?!" Someone exclaimed from afar, "How could this be possible!"

The leading King Yin, with his clothes in disarray and leaves and grass stuck on his hair, ran over quickly.
