Chapter 90: Reunited Once More
The blood moon hung high in the sky, and a cold wind whistled.
There were no beauty and hope in the future dream world, only an endless deathly silence and distorted creatures that covered every corner of the world.
After leaving the Blood Source state, Feng Qi followed the direction in his memory and headed towards his future grave.
As far as the eye could see, everything was dilapidated.
After staying in such a depressing environment for so long, even the usually optimistic Feng Qi felt a little heavy.
However, he did not feel depressed, nor could he be depressed, because only confidence and perseverance could allow him to overcome all obstacles until the day this broken world was reborn.
Fortunately, there was always the narrator accompanying him, so he did not feel lonely.
As he walked on the streets filled with rubble and the remains of messy buildings, his gaze was always wandering and paying attention to the movements around him. Even the slightest movement would alert him.
“Narrator, don’t you have the ability to observe the surrounding situation? Why don’t you do that and inform me if anything happens?”
[You want to slack off, but you think I don’t? How long have we known each other? You want to be a capitalist and squeeze me dry? Pui! ]
“Aren’t you a spiritual being? You shouldn’t be physically tired.” Feng Qi tried to defend himself.
[Your words remind me of my past memories. Actually, we’ve known each other for a long time.]
Upon hearing the narrator’s answer, Feng Qi was at a loss and immediately asked,
“When did we meet? Didn’t we only meet after I entered the future dream?”
[Then you’re wrong. We met far earlier than this.]
He vaguely felt that the narrator was about to tell him a huge secret, so he asked,
“Tell me in detail.”
[As for the exact time, it goes back about 1,000 years ago. It was a sunny autumn day. You ran with me in the wind and left a bite mark on my leg… By the way, my name was Lu Dongbin at that time. Do you remember what your name was before you reincarnated?]
Feng Qi, who was listening seriously, gradually became furious.
He finally understood. The narrator was beating around the bush to tell him that he was a dog©-
[Hey, that’s right. You’re the yellow dog that bit me. At that time, you chased after me at a speed of 3okm/h and bit me.]
“Shut up!” Feng Qi said in exasperation.
Sometimes, he was quite touched by the companionship and guidance of the narrator.
However, most of the time, its sweet words seemed to have been tainted with poison. They made him increasingly angry as he chatted on, and his mentality gradually broke down.
As he continued to advance, the weeds in the vicinity increased.
This made him realize that he was not far from his destination.
What he was most worried about now was that Suction Cup was not near his future grave. Without the Suction Cup, his next strategy to delay Blackie would be wasted.
After continuing for a distance, he scanned his surroundings and began to search for Suction Cup.
At this moment, a shadow quickly came looming from afar. Then, the entire world became gloomy.
He looked up and saw an extremely shocking scene.
An huge ferocious beast streaked across the air.
It had wings on its back and a pair of huge dark green eyes. The scales on its body were refracting gorgeous colors even without light. Every flap of its wings would stir up a violent wind on the ground.
Like a king in the sky, it looked down at the living beings on the ground and flew towards the west where dark clouds were gathering.
At this moment, the sky beast opened its mouth and let out a roar. It was like a bolt of lightning that shook the ground.
Looking in the direction where the ferocious beast was flying towards, Feng Qi vaguely saw a majestic figure that was comparable to a mountain looming in the dark clouds. Then, the beast rushed into the dark clouds.
The two figures seemed to be fighting. Accompanied by lightning and thunder, their figures occasionally appeared amongst the dark clouds and began an intense battle.
”F*ck, is this also a domain creature?” Feng Qi could not help but be watch with his mouth agape.
[They only look very strong, but in fact… they’re stronger than you think.
Otherwise, why do you think the domains can finally occupy the entire world?]
“If this thing fights Mu Qing, who will win?”
[Then you’re underestimating humans. Although I’ve never seen Mu Qing at her peak, I can deduce from the information I found in the database that Mu Qing can kill two sky beasts with such strength with her eyes closed. One can be barbecued and the other can be made into soup.]
“Then how does my current strength fare against this sky beast?” Feng Qi asked curiously.
[I already told you to have some sense, but why didn’t you listen? You can fight the roundworm in its stomach for 300 rounds and sacrifice yourself heroically.]
[Don’t think too much. You have to eat one mouthful at a time and walk one step at a time. The future’s a long way ahead. These seemingly terrifying creatures are far from your end. One day, you will stand at the true peak.]
“When the time comes, I’ll definitely grab you out of your body and flick your head a thousand times.”
[Rebound!]
“Super rebound!”
[Id*ot!l
He looked again at the distant west, at the strange world covered by dark clouds. He finally understood why the narrator had told him to go cast.
This was because the domain creatures he would encounter in the other directions might be far more terrifying than he had imagined.
However, he was not depressed at all. Instead, he grinned.
The stronger the domain creature, the stronger the prefix t.i.tles and the accompanying abilities he would obtain after killing them. There was nothing to be afraid of.
As they chatted, he walked a distance and arrived at the area in his memory.
The location of his grave might have changed, but he could roughly confirm that it was nearby because there were many distant buildings to refer to.
After stopping, he scanned his surroundings and began to search for Suction Cup.
After looking around and not finding her, he continued to walk forward and stopped to continue searching.
There were weeds everywhere nearby, and some of them were even taller than him, so it was an extremely difficult search.
After taking another step forward, the narrator’s voice sounded in his mind.
[Turn around and look in the nine o’clock direction. About 20 meters away, there’s a little cutie squatting in the bushes. Hurry up and pick her up.]
Hearing the narrator’s reminder, he did not hesitate and immediately turned around to walk in that direction.
After walking for about 20 meters, he pushed aside the weeds and realized that the white-haired Suction Cup was kneeling on the ground with lifeless eyes. In front of her was a bright red flower that had been found from somewhere. At this moment, she was staring at the soil in front of her in a daze.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qi inexplicably felt his heart ache.
[Heartache is heartache, but you didn’t hesitate when it was time to throw her away. As expected of you!]
He came to Suction Cup and squatted down. He reached out and rubbed her little head.
“I’m back.”
Suction Cup didn’t seem to hear him. She continued to stare at the dirt floor without even blinking.
Helpless, he reached out and picked up Suction Cup, planning to carry her away.
However, to his surprise, the Suction Cup broke free from his hands like a loach and slid to the ground. With a thud, she knelt on the soil again.
He squatted down and rubbed Suction Cup’s head again. He began to think about how to take her away.
In the past, she would take the initiative to follow him. Given his strength, it was clearly impossible for him to forcefully take her away.
As he thought, his gaze turned to the soil in front of Suction Cup.
[Good kid, are you going to dig your own grave again?]
As the narrator said, Feng Qi did have such thoughts.
The main reason why he could take the Suction Cup away the last time was because he felt that he had handed the harmonica in the grave to the Suction Cup.
After taking the harmonica, Suction Cup did not resist and allowed herself to be taken away, so he wanted to try again.
After all, staying here was a waste of precious time. He did not know when Suction Cup would leave with him.
“Why don’t I give it a try?”
[Go ahead then. In any case, you’re already miserable enough in the future. It doesn’t matter if you’re even more miserable, but remember to kowtow a few times to apologize to yourself after you’re done digging. Otherwise, you’ll be too much of a jerk.]
Since the narrator also felt that it was feasible, he began to dig.
While using both hands to shovel the soil, he felt very strange and a little upset.
His future self had worked tirelessly to save the world, but before he died, he became a traitor of humanity and was cursed at by the world. Now, even after death, he could not rest in peace and had to be dug out of the soil by himself.
[Don’t think too much. If your future self has a soul, he might be nearby urging you to dig quickly and tell you not to waste time. If not for the fact that he cannot touch tangible objects, he would definitely fight to dig and do so faster than you. At the same time, he’ll be scolding you: Stupid thing who’s taking so long, get lost and let me do it.]
The narrator’s words wiped the worry in his heart. He even wanted to give the narrator the middle finger.
What do you mean by fighting to dig? Isn’t that too inhumane?
[I’m indeed not human, but look at yourself. Do you look like a human?]
Feng Qi looked down at his skeleton and stopped talking. He continued to dig.
Suction Cup at the side continued to kneel on the ground while Feng Qi was digging the soil. She looked at the soil as if she was mourning.
After digging for more than a meter, when his fingers touched a hard object, he realized that he had already reached his goal.
He continued to dig further and picked up the metal box from the soil. However, this time, he did not open it again and placed it aside.
Just as he thought, the silver harmonica was buried under the metal box.
[Wait, I thought of a question. Why was the harmonica place under the urn? Does this mean that Mu Qing also dug your urn out of the soil back then?]
Ignoring the narrator whose imagination was running wild, Feng Qi took the silver harmonica out of the soil.
This harmonica was made of special materials from the domain field. After years, it had only lost its l.u.s.ter, but there were no signs of rust.
After brushing off the soil on the surface of the harmonica, he placed it aside and solemnly buried his urn in the soil again. Finally, he covered it with the scattered soil around it.
[Brother, it’s time to kowtow. You have to have a bottom line. It’s unacceptable if you don’t kowtow a few times.]
“I can’t be bothered with you!”
After plucking some leaves of the nearby plants and wiping the harmonica again, he came to Suction Cup and squatted down. After rubbing her little head, he handed the harmonica to her.
Just as he expected, starlight appeared in her eyes upon seeing the harmonica.
She reached out and took the silver-white harmonica.
“Do you know how to play?” Feng Qi asked with a smile.
Hearing his question, Suction Cup really put the harmonica to her mouth and blew it.
Feng Qi reached out to pick her up and did not resist.
Realizing that the Suction Cup could already leave with him, he carried her on his shoulder and walked towards the Star City Shelter.
Along the way, he became more and more familiar with the way Suction Cup played the harmonica.
The deep melody and the fast and slow rhythms seemed to be telling a story about of longing. Feng Qi’s emotions also rippled.
“What’s this song called?”
He asked casually, but he didn’t expect Suction Cup to stop playing. She replied in a childish voice,
“Longing… Phat… Twansmaigwate Time.”
Hearing this, he could not help but be stunned. Then, he smiled and reached out to rub her little head.
The melodious sound of the harmonica drifted into the distance with the wind.
The two figures also walked further and further away in the melody, gradually disappearing at the end…
