Travel through the long dream millennium

"...I'm not a child anymore, master."

Gu Changli, who was held in Xuan Qing's arms and pressed against the other's warm chest, was speechless for a while, and then let out a muffled voice.

With his current strength, if he really wanted to break free, it would be an easy matter.However, after going through a physically and mentally exhausting memory journey, such pure and impurity-free care and love is so precious that it makes people reluctant to part for a while.

"I am an old man who has lived for more than 300 years. Besides, no matter how old you are, in the eyes of the master, you are still the little boy who needed protection."

For Gu Changli's protest, Xuan Qing didn't think it was disobedient, but because of Gu Changli's non-resistance, the corners of his lips slightly raised, his eyes sparkled and he replied briskly.

Gu Changli: "..."

He really can't refute this point, although he has been reincarnated for several lives now, except for the life of Yasheng, who barely survived the sixtieth year, the rest died young, and no one lived past the age of 40.Even if it is added up several times, it is not as old as Xuan Qing.

After all, how can it be called comprehension if you can't live forever.

"Can you tell Master, what exactly did you see in your memory...Of course, it's okay if you don't want to recall it."

After a long while, Xuan Qing suddenly sighed softly, although he didn't want to hurt his disciple's heart, but the situation was really special, and he still couldn't help asking warmly under the worry.

"It's okay, it's all the past. It's because I couldn't help the pain at the beginning that I was so embarrassed. It's much better now."

Gu Changli licked his parched lips, those bloody fragments filled with pain and despair seemed to still float in his mind, which made his tone lower for a while.

Feeling the leak of emotion in Gu Changli's words, Xuan Qing subconsciously patted the former's back lightly.

"Master should also understand my identity in this life. Although I don't know the reason, it is indeed a so-called "weapon" that cannot be seen."

"However, it was only after I got the memory of the original body that I learned that the blood flowing in this body was originally as bright red as a normal person."

Hearing such a secret at first, even with Xuanqing's state of mind, he couldn't help but get breathless, "This weapon body can be made the day after tomorrow?"

Gu Changli nodded silently with a sullen face.

His hands were clenched unknowingly, his fingertips turned white, and a faint fire light was beating faintly in the depths of his eyes.

"I don't know where they got the blood of other weapons...According to what they said, this kind of blood is poison for most people, and only a very small number of people can survive or even absorb it. power in it."

"That apprentice, you..." Hearing this, Xuan Qing couldn't hold back his emotions, and interrupted abruptly—he had an extremely ominous premonition in his heart.

"The original body is the kind of "lucky one"...or it is more appropriate to say that it is a person who is cursed by fate."

Gu Changli's face was full of sarcasm and contempt, and it seemed that those researchers at that time worshiped and rejoiced, and his heart was chilled.

"He survived the first injection of medicine, and he didn't die immediately, but he looked like he was dying soon—although he didn't succeed in transforming into a weapon with pure white blood and incredible power, but even so, it was still a research project. The only one in the house."

"So after he got off the operating table, he was "collected" like a treasure, and he was fed with delicious food and drink until he regained consciousness and could respond slightly to external stimuli... His previous state except Besides the heartbeat and breathing, there is almost no difference from a dead body."

"It was probably more than a month later, and he was sent to the operating table again - after all, the previous transformation was not complete, the color of his blood was only slightly lighter, and he did not awaken any great abilities."

Taking a deep breath, in Gu Changli's cold and emotionless language description, he could vaguely look forward to the past at that time.

A child with exactly the same face as his apprentice, with a gloomy complexion, was fixed on an "operating table" that should be almost the same as those cultivators' altars, and was forced to swallow drugs that were clearly harmful but not beneficial. , bit by bit, the blood that belonged to human beings was grinded away, and turned into a "monster" that he feared and loathed, suffering hellish pains day and night, and reincarnated in the process of recovery-experiment-rehabilitation...

"From the age of eight to 17, there were a total of 56 experiments in a total of nine years. It was almost a month of cultivation before the next experiment. Later, there was a little drug resistance, and the recovery speed was faster, and the time was also reduced. Even shorter." Gu Changli briefly introduced what happened afterwards with a blank face, and only Xuan Qing, who was very close to him, could feel the slight trembling of that slender body.

"Damn... Those people, one counts as one, they all deserve to die!"

Squeezing out a few words from between the teeth, Xuan Qing's eyes were full of blood again, like a madman.

He can't even imagine, if it is the young man in his arms right now, the apprentice whom he cherishes and loves more than his life, suffers all these horrific treatment, but he is powerless and irreparable, how heartbroken it would be A scene to the bone.

This made him rejoice, but also unavoidably angry.After all, at this time, Changli's resurrected body looks just like him, and it may be the "same person" in another time and space. Coupled with this causal past, it still falls on him after going around, which makes him feel the same. , It was an unbearable experience to look back on...but it was not like cutting off his heart and flesh inch by inch with a blunt knife and a soft blade.

"The irony is that the original body's body was completely transformed, and the day when the red blood turned white happened to be his birthday." Gu Changli lowered his eyes, his eyelashes swaying slightly, like a weak man in a storm Weak Butterfly, "Master, maybe you will be puzzled. Most of the weapons are powerful and unparalleled, otherwise they would not be coveted by others. Then why didn't the original body try to resist and kill those who tormented him after his power awakened?" ?”

Xuan Qing frowned slightly, and muttered, "I did have such thoughts, but I think those people are not idiots, they will not create power that they can't control at will... There are beast cultivators in the world you and I originally lived in." Or weapon cultivators, most of them have spirit beasts or puppets who are stronger than them, in order to avoid backlash, they will set heavy restrictions on the latter, and they will die if they betray their master."

"If you betray your master, you will die..." Gu Changli murmured several times, and finally shook his head helplessly, "It's not bad at all. Although this world doesn't have all kinds of magical methods, but using some hypnotic methods It is not difficult for the desperate child to plant the seeds of hints in his heart... The specific words as the key have already been forgotten in his memory. Turn it into an obedient "weapon" that doesn't know everything and obeys what it says."

"...After more than a year, there seems to be internal strife among those researchers. Some plan to leave and some insist on sticking to it. The two who hold the key to the original body's order belong to two camps. And because of that, resentment abounds."

"Afterwards, the researchers who left the faction seemed to have found reinforcements from the outside world. They brought a group of people in imposing uniforms to the research institute, and arrested and wiped out all the resisting forces."

"As a result, the members of the steadfast faction were killed, but there were also informants who fled with most of the information beforehand... Among them was the man who held the key. Although he was able to escape, the original owner was a weapon, and his identity was extremely conspicuous. If you really want to take him with you, no one can get away safely. So with the thought that no one can get what I can't get, he used the key to lift the spiritual seal, and the original owner's sanity was also restored."

"And the sins I committed when I was a "weapon" gradually recovered with the memory of returning to the cage...especially the incident of killing all the "partners" who lived in the same room with him out of control in the early stage, completely defeated His mental defense also gave him the will to die."

"He lay back in the recuperation cabin where he was "awake" and activated his abilities, obliterating his consciousness and thinking, and destroying his soul in a real sense."

Belonging to the original body, the long and sad story, with no extra color except deep despair, finally came to an end. At this time, the room where the master and apprentice were living fell into a long, long, wordless silence.

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

"It's almost here, just a little bit closer."

After trekking through the wilderness with the same scenery for a long time, and encountering no other creatures except malicious crowds and ugly mutant beasts, the little girl already felt deeply tired and bored in her heart.

Climbing up a high hill and looking at the distant scenery, the girl let out a long sigh of relief, puffed her cheeks and flexed her fingers to calculate, and then put on a cheerful and proud look.

Raising her hand casually, playing with the beautiful crystalline snowflakes condensed from her fingertips, the girl blinked her big moist and hazy eyes, and in her ears, she recalled once again the big brother with blond hair who patted her chest and made it for her. ensure.

"Come to the holy city, where children like you will get the best care, and you can make many like-minded friends, no one will bully you and hurt you, and you can use your own strength to serve others and the world Make a little contribution to make life more meaningful—”

The little girl doesn't have much yearning for the so-called helping others and contributing to the world. She doesn't even know what these represent and how much she can do; the best care, no bullying and harm, with her current Strong enough to protect yourself and live a good life.

What really made her yearn for, and what she wanted at all costs, was what the blond brother told her with sparkling eyes and sincerity—like-minded friends, recognition and respect.

She has never seen such a person in her short life, and has enjoyed such feelings, if... just if—

No matter how insignificant the possibility was, it was enough for her to make the choice of flying moths to the flame.

At the same time, in the holy city, Reinhardt, who recovered his ability to land in a very short period of time by virtue of his strong physique and perseverance, took the enemy weapon handed over by the stinky elder sister, and attached a full weapon by the way. It's a flattering smile.

"Just wanting to go to the battlefield so impatiently? Your injuries are not healed yet!" Hong Yan warned angrily.

"It's okay, it's okay, big sister, you know my temperament best, and I won't try to be brave." Reinhard patted his chest and swore.

"It's because I know clearly that I don't worry about it—" Hong Yan said angrily after rolling his eyes, "If you really encounter...with your current injury, if you insist on yourself, it will only hinder you. , don’t overestimate yourself!”

Reinhard, who naturally knew what Hongyan's intentionally omitted words referred to, slowly restrained his smile, and his handsome face looked chilled and cold because of the piercing eyes.

"The enemy of the holy city is our enemy, and we must kill them quickly."
