Chapter 226: Sixty-seven We’re going ho! (5K)_2
Yuri felt that this question was indeed a bit strange.
But after all, he had already seen a Gerard, and it wasn’t just he who had seen him, so subconsciously he thought that the Night Star Knight speaking to him was still Gerard.
However, the other person responded with a puzzled tone, “Gerard? Who’s that?”
Yuri’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, but before he could react, he saw the other person wave his hand and say, “Sorry, this Gerard you speak of might indeed be soone related to , but I must have forgotten.”
“Forgotten?” Yuri was even more surprised, “How could you forget sothing like that?”
“Yes,” the other person nodded and said, “In my current state, I can’t rember too many things, so to keep myself lucid and in existence, I need to continuously forget. In fact, it’s not just that person called Gerard, um… How should I put it?”
There was a click.
He suddenly took off his mask.
Taking off the mask in the Abyss was an extrely dangerous act. Yuri instinctively wanted to stop him but then suddenly realized that the person in front of him should have died many years ago, so the mask should’ve been useless to him by now, which is why he suppressed the urge to speak out and stop him. He then watched the man remove his mask, revealing his complete face.
“In fact, I have even forgotten my own na,” the person said while pointing to his face and asking Yuri, “Do you know who I am? If you do, please tell .”
It was the face of an ordinary young man, one that Yuri had never seen before but still found sohow familiar.
For so reason, he suddenly thought of the first corpse he had seen the day before yesterday.
It was the one that kept holding his hand and shouting, “The source is the pollutant.”
The face of that corpse had long since decomposed beyond recognition, but for so reason, Yuri just felt an intuition that the corpse and the Night Star Knight in front of him were the sa person.
Their voices were also over ninety percent similar.
“Do you recognize ?” the other person seed to be able to see through the expressions under Yuri’s mask.
Yuri hesitated for a mont, but still told the other person about the corpse, wanting to see his reaction.
Then, he saw the other express an enlightened look: “Oh… That’s why you can see , it seems you encountered my corpse, so at that ti, you made a connection with ?”
Encountered… a corpse?
Yuri found this explanation to be freakishly bizarre.
“What exactly is going on?” he asked, “When I first ca here, I also saw two Night Star Knights giving directions.”
“Is that so?” He did not seem to care.
“And who are they?”
He shook his head again: “I don’t know.”
“…How co you don’t know anything?”
“There’s no helping it,” he said. “I must discard more mories to rember the most crucial things.”
“The most crucial things?” Yuri asked, “What are they?”
“That,” he pointed again towards the Purification Source Crystal.
“What’s up with the Purification Source Crystal?” Yuri asked.
“There’s sothing very important beneath it,” he replied.
Sothing very important?
Yuri was slightly taken aback, and before he could collect his thoughts, he heard a Devil Knight shout, “Captain! We found another one!”
After a brief mont of being stunned, Yuri realized what it was and temporarily left the Night Star Knight, quickly walking over.
Sure enough, he saw what was buried under the Purification Source Crystal,
A tongue.
…
“It’s about ti,” Bai Wei’s voice slowly arose, “You can’t even hold it anymore.”
Bai Wei was referring to Ian’s body.
This body, which should have decayed ten years ago, had been forcefully sustained by “Domination” for ten years and was finally dissipating at this mont.
A complete and utter disintegration, even finer than the pollutants that turned into Source Oil.
Even though Gerard maintained the embrace, there was still nothing left in his arms.
“I know,” Gerard took his hands back, moving very slowly, as if afraid of hurting Ian, and then he stood up, looked at the “corpse” in front of him, and suddenly said, “Also, thank you.”
“Thank ?” Bai Wei raised Gerard’s eyebrow, “Thank for taking away Yong Xin’s soul?”
“Not just that,” Gerard softly said, “and so much more, for without you, there are things I would never have found answers to in my lifeti.”
“Don’t worry about it,” Bai Wei said nonchalantly, “It’s rely an exchange of needs.”
He paused, and then asked.
“So what do you plan to do? Follow what your son said? Is the breakpoint at the Purification Source Crystal?”
“Yes.”
“I see.”
Gerard detected an unusual note in Bai Wei’s tone and asked, “Do you think there’s a problem?”
“Well…” Bai Wei said leisurely, “If it were , I might be inclined to a more direct solution.”
Although he didn’t spell it out, having spent so much ti together, Gerard understood what Bai Wei ant by a “more direct solution.”
But…
Gerard looked down again at the disfigured corpse and softly said, “I don’t want to see another Ian.”
“I guessed you’d say that,” Bai Wei said, “Then go ahead and do it.”
“I thought you would stop .”
“Why would I stop a father who wants to fulfill his son’s last wish?” Bai Wei said indifferently, “Don’t forget, we are now of one heart, aren’t we?”
A twitch appeared at the corner of Gerard’s mouth, seemingly wanting to smile, but at this mont, he just couldn’t. He could only say again, “Thank you.”
