No.18 Years of Waking of Insects

"add water."

A cold order sounded again.

There were only three people in the dark and humid secret room. A candle was lit in each corner of the wall. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with a smell of oil and gas.

A basin of ice water poured down from his head, and Lu Jinghong opened his eyes in confusion.He felt that every inch of skin on his body was being attacked to the bone, and the cold numb the scars on his body, causing him to fall asleep again and again.

"Finally awake."

Toyosaki Jun also stood in front of him with his hands behind his back, with blood spreading under his feet, as if he was in a death penalty prison.

"Kill me." He said hoarsely, his throat seemed about to burst.

Toyosaki Jun didn't answer either, but picked up a glass of water, handed it to his mouth, and said, "I want to kill you too, but once I do, the source of his pain will no longer exist."

He tilted his head slightly to avoid the water he was offered.

"It's really the same." I don't know who Toyosaki Jun is scolding, he directly pinches Lu Jinghong's cheek with his hand, and pours all the water in the cup into his mouth.

Seeing him choking on the water, he threw the cup and ordered the people behind him, "Get out."

The heavy iron door slowly closed.

"I have killed tens of millions of Chinese people. When he was with me, he was bloodthirsty like a demon. Because of these, he got his current status. Otherwise, with his birth and his half-human half-demon identity, It will only be a victim of Shikigami."

"You haven't seen him kill Chinese people, have you? His cold-blooded and brutal appearance makes even my elder brother afraid."

"However, he still fell in love with a Chinese... Tell me, what do you have, what do you have!"

He was disintegrating the inner city wall little by little, but he didn't know that Lu Jinghong didn't care about anything at all, and now he just wanted to die happily.

"Second young master, don't, don't be like this..."

There was a strong knocking sound outside the iron door, and the door was slammed open.

Liangshu Toyosaki appeared at the door with a gun in his hand, his face was covered with blood, except for his eyes, which Lu Jinghong recognized.

He saw Lu Jinghong chained to the pillar, covered in blood, his hand holding the gun tightened again, and he pointed at Junya Toyosaki angrily.

As soon as the house slave at the door saw Junya Toyosaki's sinister gaze, he knelt down with a "plop" inside: "Elder, young master, I should...damn it! I didn't keep an eye on the second young master..."

"For him to escape, you really deserve to die." Toyosaki Jun also said coldly, and then shot him dead to the ground.

Then, he told the other two guarding servants outside the door: "Go out and lock the door."

The heavy iron door closed again.

Then, he slowly shook the gun in his hand that had just killed someone, looked at Toyosaki Liangshu who was pointing the gun at him, and said, "In that case, let's see who is faster."

Then, he immediately pointed the gun at Lu Jinghong who was beside him.

Lu Jinghong looked at the cold muzzle of the gun against his forehead, and smiled lightly: "It would be great if I could exchange my life for yours..."

I'm afraid, the people at the door can't do anything.

"Boom, boom!" Two gunshots sounded, and the chains on both sides of Lu Jinghong's hands were hit by bullets, broke and fell to the ground, making a "bang-dang" sound.

Lu Jinghong fell to the ground, closed his eyes slightly, and remained motionless.

Toyosaki Jun also saw that Toyosaki Liangshu did not shoot himself, but broke the chain with the gun, frowned, and asked coldly: "Look at you, just want to save him?"

"Your life, I will take it sooner or later." Toyosaki Liangshu's voice was very cold, he only needs to rescue Lu Jinghong first, and he will settle the rest slowly.

Toyosaki Jun also nodded disapprovingly, but pointed the gun in his hand at himself.

"What are you betting on?" Toyosaki Yoshiya paused while holding the gun, but did not relax at all.

"I'm betting..." He said slowly, smiling meaningfully, "We are brothers, we are relatives, and he is just a dying person, who will you choose to keep alive?"

Toyosaki Liangshu replied: "I will not forget how you treated me."

"Then why not take this opportunity and solve it together." Toyosaki Jun also followed his words and said.

"Do you think I dare not?" His eyes became even colder.

"Dare or not, it depends on the gun in your hand."

Whether it hits him in the chest or not will reveal everything about his troubles.

"Jinghong." Toyosaki Liangshu suddenly said, and said to Toyosaki Junya behind him, "Come here."

Lu Jinghong opened his eyes numbly and stood up in a trance, every inch of scars was exposed in the air.

He walked up to Toyosaki Liangshu step by step, smiled weakly, and said, "I want to leave."

Even though he didn't know where he could go now, he knew that now he just wanted to leave this eerie place.

"Okay, I'll take you away." Toyosaki Yoshiya responded.

"I'll take him out, and then I'll kill you." After saying that, he took Lu Jinghong's hand, turned around and walked to the iron gate.

"Open the door!" He reached out and patted, but there was no response.

"Open the door, open the door for me!" He slammed on the iron door again, and the heavy voice resounded throughout the secret room, but there was still no movement outside the door.

"It's useless." Toyosaki Jun also watched his movements, and smiled sullenly, "They have all left."

Toyosaki Liangshu suddenly turned his head to look at him, a bad premonition arose, and he asked forcefully, "What do you want to do?"

"You don't want to kill me or him, so why not let me do it myself." Toyosaki Jun also said and pointed the gun at the two of them standing in front of the iron gate again.

"You really want to kill us so much, why?"

Toyosaki Liangshu watched him finally point the gun at himself, and asked the question that had been buried all along.

"I said before, your life is mine, and my life is yours too."

He repeated this sentence again, and there was an unreal emotion in his eyes.

Their lives were tied together for 18 years. At the beginning, he rescued Ryosu Toyosaki, who was only nine years old, from his grandfather, this younger brother who had never met.For the next eighteen years, they entered the army together, killed the enemy together, and floated on the verge of death together.

Now he is holding another person's hand and asking him, why...

Why, why... The source of all this evil, what is it...

He closed his eyes with a wry smile, and finally pulled the trigger slowly, and the bullet hit the cold ground.

In an instant, the fire broke out.

The tongue of flames grew bigger and bigger along the oil stains on the ground, and the resulting wall of fire separated him from Toyosaki Liangshu and Lu Jinghong.

He stood in the shadow of the fire, as calm as a statue.

Toyosaki Liangshu hugged Lu Jinghong tightly, leaned his head against his blood-stained chest, and said calmly, "He's just crazy, don't be afraid."

"Hahaha." Toyosaki Jun also laughed and fell to the ground, letting the fire engulf him.

He closed his eyes, and what he heard in his ears was still Ryoshu Toyosaki's murmur to Lu Jinghong.But what he saw was, under the cherry blossoms all over the sky, two teenagers who were destined to be against each other for a lifetime were running wildly.It seems that the end of darkness is ahead, and if you fall there, you will live forever in light.

"Is he dead?" Lu Jinghong mused in his arms, feeling the heat from the fire that was close at hand.

"You're dead." Toyosaki Liangshu's voice was very flat, and when he looked up, he couldn't see his body clearly through the fire curtain.

"Then what about us?" Lu Jinghong asked again.

"We... might die too." He replied softly, and asked again, "Are you afraid?"

Lu Jinghong raised his head, looked at the familiar face in the thick smoke, and replied, "I'm afraid."

He was particularly afraid, afraid that he would not be able to meet him on the road to the underworld after death, afraid that he would let go of his hand when reincarnated, and afraid that in the next life, they would still not be together forever.

"Coincidentally, I'm afraid too." Toyosaki Yoshiya looked into his hazy eyes with a smile, lowered his head, and gently covered his lips.

Lu Jinghong's body stiffened suddenly, with his eyes open, he could feel the warm breath on his lips, and the chapped lips just rubbed against each other.With trembling hands, he caressed Yoshiya Toyosaki's face, covering his brows and eyes.

Two lines of clear tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes slowly.

The fire was still spreading, and the flames filled the entire secret room.

Toyosaki Ryosuke sighed slightly in his ear, with a low voice: "If in the next life, we meet in a peaceful age, there is no fighting, no war, I will definitely hold your hand tightly and never let go."

"Ah."
