Chapter 608: 53 Good night Vic, good night Ade_2
“I killed Vic,” Ade said softly.
“No.” Bai Wei shook his head, pointing at the path of light ahead, “The one who killed Vic has already left, and you avenged Vic.”
“Can it be counted like that?”
“Why not?” Bai Wei said with a smile, “If you really feel apologetic, wait until you see Vic and then apologize to him, or continue being his dog.”
“I was Vic’s dog… no, a wolf!”
“Yes, yes, yes, a wolf, a wolf.”
Bai Wei’s words made Ade’s mood less heavy.
“Where do people go after they die?” It asked nervously, “Will I see Vic again?”
“Do you really want to know?” Bai Wei pointed at the path of light ahead again, “Then let’s walk forward and see.”
“Walk forward?”
“Yes, maybe Vic is waiting for you on the road ahead?”
Expectant light imdiately shone in Ade’s eyes, both nervous and hopeful.
So, one wolf and one man continued on their journey, just like they had always done since they t.
While walking forward, they chatted here and there.
“Priest Ulu… I an, the real Priest Ulu, what kind of person was he?”
“A sowhat bad good person.”
“A sowhat bad good person? Like ?”
“That’s still different.”
“Then what happened to him later?”
“That’s just like you.”
Ade was a bit confused, only after thinking did he understand what Bai Wei ant—the real Priest Ulu had also died.
“You said he was your companion, like .”
“Yes.”
“Is the only end for your companions death?”
“That’s just an awkward black you,” Bai Wei said seriously, “Strictly speaking, only you and him have died.”
Ade gave an “oh,” then scratched his head: “I guess I’m pretty lucky huh?”
Bai Wei laughed: “If you think so, then it is.”
Ade wagged his tail.
Thus, one person and one wolf kept walking forward, and during that ti Ade asked Bai Wei many questions, just like before, he was very curious about Bai Wei’s past.
But not the part related to Visas, what he was more eager to hear was the stories about Ulu, Gerard, and Hewinia, that is, the so-called “stories of companions.”
These things Bai Wei couldn’t tell it before, but now it doesn’t matter, no matter how Ade asked Bai Wei, Bai Wei answered earnestly.
And Ade was like the perfect audience, always providing tily reactions. Upon learning about Ulu’s childhood experiences, he would gnash his teeth in anger, when hearing Gerard’s search for the truth, he would widen his eyes and hold his breath, and when hearing about Hewinia’s desecration of the gods, he would excitedly wag his tail.
The only pity is, these stories he can only listen to once.
Listening once ans forgetting.
The dust representing mory and cognition continued to leave his body; each ti he learned sothing, he forgot more.
Five minutes ago, he had expressed that when he enters the afterlife, he must thank Ryan, who gave him the Hunter’s Blood, properly, but quickly he forgot the person.
Three minutes ago, he inquired about Ivana’s well-being with Bai Wei, but soon he couldn’t rember the Holy Lady’s na.
Therefore, Ulu, Gerard, and Hewinia could only stay in his mind for such a brief mont.
He was rapidly forgetting everything, but fortunately, he still rembered Bai Wei.
Or more precisely, rembered “Priest Ulu,” not Visas.
And he realized this, saying to Bai Wei: “That music box.”
“Hmm?”
“That music box, from my first hunter commission.” Ade said, “I can’t take the ssage back to that little girl anymore.”
“Do you still rember her?”
“Of course I rember!” Ade nodded repeatedly, “That was my first hunter commission, my first reward, that little girl was in…”
Ade was stuck.
“What was that town called?”
He tried hard to rember, but…
“Ah, I wonder what that town was supposed to do?”
He had forgotten more things.
Bai Wei gently stroked his head: “Don’t worry, I rember.”
“That’s good!”
Ade beca cheerful again, wagging his tail as he hopped forward, looking very carefree.
Bai Wei then stopped walking, quietly watching his back.
Suddenly, he called out to Ade.
Ade turned back, surrounded by countless specks of dust, and his body grew ever thinner, seemingly ready to disappear at any mont.
“Oww!”
He responded happily to Bai Wei, having already forgotten how to speak.
Bai Wei looked into his eyes and gently asked, “Do you still want to live?”
Ade cocked his head, looking at Bai Wei with slight confusion.
“I know you can understand what I an.” Bai Wei slowly extended his hand, a weak fla ignited in his palm, illuminating the gradually darkening world, “I can give you new life, letting you experience and touch this world again with your own personality.”
In Ade’s eyes, the world was rapidly turning dark, while the fla in Bai Wei’s palm grew brighter, holding an alluring light.
This made him unconsciously walk forward, standing in front of Bai Wei, gazing at the tiny fla.
He slowly raised his paw, wanting to touch the fla.
“But there’s a price for this.” Before Ade touched the fla, Bai Wei spoke again, “The price is to forget everything, starting completely anew.”
Ade’s paw paused.
“Yes, you are no longer Wildfire, no longer Saint… ah, perhaps you’ve already forgotten who they are.” Bai Wei said softly, “But such forgetting is still not enough, you’ll forget everything, including , and never be able to recall… do you understand what I an?”
Ade blinked his eyes.
He then slowly retracted his paw under Bai Wei’s gaze.
“Will you refuse?” Bai Wei said softly, “This is rebirth.”
Ade didn’t speak, he turned his head again, looking towards the direction of swirling mory dust.
There was only darkness, endless darkness.
But it seed his eyes could penetrate the darkness, seeing more.
Thus, he let out another excited “Oww,” then left Bai Wei, running toward the darkness.
Bai Wei, as if guessing his choice, smiled as he watched him walk to the edge of darkness.
“It seems you’ve made your decision.”
Ade wagged his tail, letting out a louder “Oww,” as if bidding farewell, then dove into the darkness.
He felt it, and indeed, he felt it.
Ade ran wildly in the darkness, before forgetting everything, running freely.
Finally, at the end of darkness, he saw that familiar figure.
“Ade!” Vic opened his arms, beaming, “You finally ca back.”
“Oww!!!”
Ade pounced on him, just like countless tis in the past.
He had finally found him.
“Alright, Ade.” Vic rubbed Ade’s head, “Let’s set off.”
“Oww!”
Ade excitedly followed Vic, taking two steps then stopping, a bit puzzled, he turned his head to look back at the direction he ca from.
“What’s wrong, Ade?” Vic asked.
Ade felt he had forgotten soone very important.
But it doesn’t matter, soon he’d even forget the act of forgetting.
“We must set off!” Vic exclaid, “Beco a hunter!”
“Oww!”
In the distance, Bai Wei quietly watched Ade’s body completely turn into mory dust, disappearing into the darkness, like a dandelion finally landing after a long journey.
He chuckled softly.
“Good night, Vic.”
“Good night, Ade.”
