Return with the King-Follow-up with Return

--------------

Cone Sheng put away the gun expressionlessly, stood up silently, and shook his body uncoordinated a few times, as if he might fall down at any time.Feeling the loss of strength, he was barely able to straighten his back and lean against the tree. The injury he received was not enough to make him so embarrassed. Zhuo Shengling knew that the other party had put medicine on the knife or the bullet.Moreover, the battle lasted for several hours, and none of the vampires who were attracted by the pure blood in their bodies and should have swarmed forward didn't see any of them, which showed how deliberate and inevitable the opponent was.Close your eyes, blood loss, physical strength decline, to deal with this kind of scene, becoming a human being is somewhat powerless.One man's strength is too small to stand against the whole world, and there is no reason to keep fighting.

Cone Shengling closed his eyes and sighed softly, he was very tired to be alive.

"The right choice."

The researchers were extremely happy about the non-resistance of the experimental animals. After all, if an accident occurred during the capture and the experimental animals died, it would be an unprecedented loss.Quickly directed others to come forward, completely took down Cone Shengling, and put him in a special cage.

The three approached Cone Shengling cautiously, not daring to be careless, just in case of fraud.Cone Shengling's skills, they have learned enough along the way, if it weren't for the anesthetic used at the end, it would be impossible to capture alive, even so, with a dose that can knock down an elephant in three seconds, he still took The vampire girl ran from the city to the suburbs.Even so, at the moment of contact, Zhui Sheng Ling made a catch and threw the three of them to the ground.The besiegers were well-trained, and they raised their guns in an instant, avoided the vital points, and aimed at Cone Shengzero.Their bounden duty is to carry out tasks, even if they sacrifice themselves or their companions, they are unwavering.The top priority of this mission is to capture Cone Shengling alive. If necessary, breaking off limbs and limbs is within the allowable range.Even if the companions are knocked down, even if they are killed, even if the client's representative's life is threatened, they will only resolutely carry out the priority task. This is the iron-blooded principle of this special unit.

So weak——Zui Shengling, who was in a weak position, clapped his hands, the contempt in his eyes conveying such simple and easy-to-understand words.

The researcher's expression was very ugly. After all, he hadn't figured out how difficult it was to deal with Cone Shengling. He boasted to others that he wanted to take all the "experimental materials" back with him.Thinking about it again, the more difficult it is, the more difficult it is to verify the correctness of the "assumption".Thinking of the research that has lasted for more than a thousand years, the researcher burst out with unusually fiery eyes, entangled in Cone Shengling, and eagerly took out the semi-finished product of the research—a glass bottle filled with red liquid.His authority as a core researcher can only obtain five milliliters, and now it's all here, and he can conduct field experiments before all researchers to verify the "hypothesis".If the experiment is successful, he will become the No.1 who has completed the project spanning more than ten centuries!Such glory made him lose his mind and completely ignore the consequences of failure, and more importantly - the consequences of success.

The person on the opposite side fell into a terrific state. Cone Shengling felt the crisis instinctively, but his body functions were also stretched to the limit. He was completely a fish on the knife, ready to be slaughtered.

"..."

No matter how unwilling he was, Cone Shengling was finally brought down by the wheel fight and the anesthetic.As the guy said, it was really locked in a cage - two meters square, with a chair, orthodox standard configuration.Confiscated of all the equipment, Cone Shengling, who lost consciousness and control of his body, was thrown on the chair, watching the overexcited researcher put the clear red liquid into his mouth, and forced to swallow it.Without the expected pain, Cone Shengling could only feel the distance of consciousness, maybe it was just that the anesthetic made him unable to feel the pain.

Thinking of his ups and downs in his life, he has had both honors and disgraces, but in the end he became the best "experiment" for others.Now that he can't even sneer sarcastically, Zhuo Shengling's mood is indescribably complicated.

Fortunately, though.

not him.

Before losing consciousness, Cone Shengling was extremely grateful.

------------

hundreds of years ago.

"I want to wake up Brother Shu."

The story should have ended when Jiu Lanshu sacrificed himself to become "source metal". No matter how painful the people left behind were, they should never disregard Jiu Lanshu's mind and twisted anything again.However, when Kulan Yuki, the "fugitive", "wife", and "pure blood princess" whom he had not seen for many years, appeared in front of him and uttered a sentence that could almost be called forbidden, he was not surprised at all.It's not that he wasn't surprised, he was surprised that he wasn't surprised by Jiulan Yuki's words, and even secretly looked forward to it.

Zhui Shengling caressed the chess pieces on his chest, but did not answer.Jiulan Youji noticed his movements, she knew what his natural movements meant, she didn't break it, it was a tacit understanding between them.Who does Jiulan Yuji like more, and whether Zhuo Shengling loves Jiulanshu? These questions are no longer a problem in the thousand years of missing one person.They performed according to the script carefully arranged by Jiu Lanshu, and lost a lot, but also gained a lot. Every time they make a choice, they can say that they have no regrets, but they can't make no regrets. That is a lack that cannot be told.

Jiulan Youji and Zhuoshengling lived under the protection of Jiulanshu, even during the 1000 years of his frozen sleep.Jiulan Youji's escape, because the map left by Jiulanshu became a world trip, she can laugh heartily in the sun and enjoy the freedom that a pure-blood can only hope for, but she can't laugh anymore As innocent as ever.The situation of Cone Born Zero is even more complicated. The madness of pure blood, the rebellion of vampires, the rebirth of blood hunting weapons, and the reshuffle of the Hunter Association, the chaotic situation urgently needs someone to calm down. "Hunter" is more qualified, and the feeding of pure blood makes Cone Shengling much stronger than he himself knows. As long as he wants, almost no one can stand in front of him and block his desired path.This is the best and last all that Jiu Lanshu can give, and it is also their biggest deficiency. When they get what they want, they will be more aware of what kind of sacrifices all of this is based on. No one can accept such an expensive price with peace of mind.

"I want to give Brother Shu the world I saw in the human age."

Just because Zhuo Shengling didn't stop Jiulan Yuki doesn't mean that other people won't.No one knows better than Ye Zhiliao what Jiu Lanshu paid to bring the world to this point, especially Yi Tuoma, who was the first to see everything clearly. All he can foresee is more harm.

"Master Yuki, no matter what identity or form, as long as Shu is alive, his world will only be hell."

A Takuma said so, his eyes drifted to Ai Shengling, as if he couldn't bear to imagine such a scene, his eyes kept flickering, hoping to get Ai Shengling's approval.

"The strong are feared, and the weak are bullied."

Unable to get a response from Sui Shengling, Takuma turned his attention to the pure blood princess who was still very naive. Yuuki Kyuran wanted to explain, Takuma added.

"I know, the world is like this, everyone is the same. But... Shu, it's different."

Takuma frowned, sorted out the vocabulary, and smiled wryly, but still couldn't find a suitable vocabulary, so he could only choose a more direct and easy-to-understand language.

"Shu is the ancestor of Jiulan! It's the ancestor of Jiulan!"

Because he is too detached, his existence itself is unforgivable.

"Ancestor of Jiulan", these four words alone mean that there is no redemption.

The atmosphere froze. Obviously, everyone easily thought of the great achievements of Jiu Lanshu, the pure-blooded king, and everything was enough to be a fatal reason.What did Yulan Yuki think of, what happened to what she planned to do, at least some bad things, she could also predict.But if you don't do it, who knows the result?However, if it really becomes more terrifying... Kulan Yuki begins to hesitate, and even gradually tends to give up.

At this time, what turned the situation around was only one sentence from Cone Shengling.

Simple, but full of determination and trust.

"He is Jiu Lanshu."

He is also the Jiulan Shu of the Black Master Academy's Ye Zhiliao, not just the distant ancestor of Jiulan.

---------

At the beginning, he was so determined, he firmly believed in his strength, and thought that nothing could hurt him. Looking back now, this unreasonable trust is so naive.Trapped in the disadvantages that had been expected long ago, Zhuo Shengling couldn't deal with it calmly, so how could he firmly believe that Jiu Lanshu would be safe and sound?

Locked in a strong cage, became a so-called "experimental product", and was injected with an unknown drug. The current situation of Cone Shengling is really unprecedented. The consciousness drifts away from the body, sinks slowly, and finally arrives at Wandering in the dream for ten years.

The cicadas singing in summer, the shade of the trees, and the young people sleeping lightly under the trees, this scene is exactly the same as it was ten years ago, and it has never changed.

Zhui Shengling sat beside Jiu Lanshu, snuggled up to him, and the exhaustion all over his body was reduced.Jiulan Youji in the distance fell into silence, watching the desolation of Cone Shengling with thoughtful eyes just like Cone Sheng Yihui.It shouldn't be like this, neither Yuuki nor Yiqi would choose to be silent at this time, Zhuosheng Ling closed his eyes and felt a distorted smile on his face, sarcasm mixed with pain, sadness threatening despair, he Already aware of it, already aware of it from the very beginning!

The distorted smile gradually widened, and tremblingly hugged the people around him, Zhui Shengling buried his fragile expression into Jiu Lanshu's neck, and tightened his arms fiercely, for fear that the young man in his arms would disappear again. Leave him alone to wander in confusion.

Zhui Shengling has long realized that Jiulan Yuji, Zhuisheng Yihui, Jiulanshu, and even this world, everything is just fiction.Even if he actively ignores it, he subconsciously reminds himself constantly, with a silent gleam of agreement, and Yuji Jiulan's radical reminder, time and time again, the behavior of the two of them is just a reflection of the intention of the two.The pain of losing precious things and the desire to find them back, the memory carried in the blood responds to the heart-wrenching thoughts, and builds this world, a false world dominated by the will of Zhuo Shengling.

In summer, cicadas sing, tree shade, light sleep.

In the very memorable student days, when I met Jiu Lanshu's defenseless sleeping face by chance, Cone Shengling watched from afar and did not dare to move, lest this tranquility and peace would be shattered when he woke up Jiu Lanshu.One person sleeps lightly, the other keeps watch, from the bright sun to the sunset, just like from the dawn of the sky to the twilight of the snow.

In the end, Jiu Lanshu didn't say a word, Zhui Shengling remained silent, looked at each other, turned to each other, turned their backs and walked away.

"I'm tired, Shu."

With a coquettish tone and faint laughter, there was a deep sense of loneliness.Zhui Shengling hoped that Jiu Lanshu would wake up, whether it was comforting himself or laughing at himself, it was better than no response at all.But Zhui Shengling didn't want Jiu Lanshu to wake up, afraid that he would look at him with those eyes like that day and then walk away so freely.For ten years, Jiu Lanshu never woke up once, and Zhuo Shengling couldn't admit his cowardice, so he was so afraid.However, what if Jiu Lanshu wakes up?This Jiulanshu born from Zhuoshengling's hope, this Jiulanshu dominated by Zhuoshengling's will, is it really the Jiulanshu that Zhuoshengling loves?

"I don't regret letting Yuuki "wake up" you, even if I know how cruel things will happen afterwards, I don't care, I want to see you, I want to find out what kind of feelings I have for you. "

Letting go of the tight embrace is much easier than imagined, and it is not as reluctant as expected.

"You paid me far more than the care you should have for the chess pieces, but I took your sincerity as a deception. You are right, it is my fault, I am too stupid to understand the loneliness in your eyes, and I miss you again and again. However, you know that there is absolutely no possibility between you and me, so you let me ignore or even avoid our relationship. You decided to give up at the very beginning, and you are also at fault."

Get up and take half a step back.

"When you like me, I don't like you; when you let me go, I like you; when I fall in love with you, you can't like me anymore, you are always one step ahead of me, take me Play around and around."

Cone Shengling calmly looked at Jiu Lanshu who was sleeping lightly under the tree and would never wake up, and spoke calmly.

"Fortunately, this time, I can finally catch up with you."

The whole world began to vibrate, squeezed and pulled, and in the sound of broken mirrors, cracks appeared in the sight and beyond, and the darkness behind the cracks kept pouring into this fictional world. The nearby figures of Jiulan Yuki and Cone Shengyi, as well as the deep forest as the center of the world, were gradually swallowed up and returned to the original nothingness.Zhui Shengling witnessed Jiu Lanshu's disappearance with his own eyes, and felt the pain of his soul being torn apart. He calmly allowed himself to be swallowed and then repelled.

Until the world of memories completely returned to nothingness, the reality of Cone Shengling finally opened his eyes, the lavender eyes flashed a sharp edge, and suddenly fell silent into a calmness without waves.
