Chapter 230: Goodbye
“Fatty.” Jiang Cheng patted the latter on his shoulders, “Let’s go.”
Fatty widened his eyes, “Where?”
“The stone plate.”
“The stone plate?” Realising he was being too loud, Fatty lowered his voice again. “Doctor, those people are trying to push us there.” Based on Fatty’s understanding, if they followed those things’ intentions, they would most likely die.
“This is no longer sothing we can decide,” Jiang Cheng said. Fatty knew the Doctor was right. Those things had started to surround them from all sides. If they didn’t want to be captured, they had to run deeper into the forest. However… this was no different from suicide.
As the sounds ca more constantly around them, they started to hurry deeper into the forest. A few minutes later, a webbed palm of an amphibian creature smacked the rock where Jiang Cheng was resting earlier. It glowed with a sinister light. More creatures about three tres tall appeared from everywhere. They hurried along the small path. They left behind disgusting trails of liquid on the trees and stones.
Fatty and Jiang Cheng didn’t face any obstruction as they moved to the stone plate. When they arrived, the stone plate looked brand new. The bones, dead bodies and blood were all gone. If one didn’t know what the stone plate was for, one might assu it was a work of art. It was entirely white. The plate had a milky glow. Fatty studied the plate. Sohow, he had a feeling that the stone plate was alive. He controlled his gaze to look at the Doctor.
The Doctor scanned the stone plate slowly as if searching for sothing. Fatty really didn’t want to disturb him, but they didn’t have the ti. Strange creatures started to appear around them. They had deep green skin. So of them had sharpened webbed feet. Others had wings on their backs. However, based on their size, it was unlikely that they could fly. They slowly surrounded their prey.
At that mont, Fatty sohow cald down. He took a deep breath. The pressure he had been under finally found a place to vent. “Doctor,” He smiled bitterly, “It’s over now.”
“Yes.”
The Doctor looked like he was still thinking. He didn’t seem to notice the monsters that slowly approached them. Fatty felt sorry for this man. How could he still not give up at a ti like this? Even if he figured out sothing, it would be useless. They had no more ti.
Strangely enough, Fatty was a very cowardly person. He was afraid of death and also pain. One ti, he was chatting with the Doctor while he was cutting the ingredients. He accidentally cut himself. It was a small cut. Jiang Cheng wouldn’t wince if it happened to him. However, Fatty grumbled about it for a long ti. He blad the Doctor for distracting him. That day, he cooked one dish instead of the promised three.
However, he didn’t feel anything at that mont. He felt like he was rely going on another journey. He was so calm that he didn’t think he was being himself. He rely felt sorry, not for himself but for the Doctor.
For all his flaws, the Doctor was a great person. It was because of him that he managed to survive until now. He believed that if the Doctor hadn’t had to look after him, he would have left this mission already. After all, even Chen Ran and Su Xiaoxiao had fallen under the Doctor’s hands. Soone like him shouldn’t die. If he were given enough ti, he might even figure out the secrets behind the nightmare realm. He had inexplicable confidence in the Doctor.
The Doctor shouldn’t die. If one should die, it should be a burden like him. After a long ti, he still asked, “Doctor,” His throat was dry. Those things were very close to them. “Can you tell
your na?”
Jiang Cheng looked at him.
“I don’t an anything by that, Doctor,” He smiled sadly, “We’ve known each other for so long. I still don’t know your na. It’s quite a sha.”
“I have no na,” Jiang Cheng replied, “I’m an orphan.”
“Then, your surna…”
“I picked a random one.”
Fatty, “...”
Other than his brain, Fatty admired the Doctor’s ability to weave nonsense and disrupt people’s plans. He planned to say goodbye to the Doctor. In Fatty’s mind, they might even hug each other and die in each other’s arms. However, that disappeared with a few words from the Doctor. No wonder he was an orphan…
So ridiculous thoughts crossed his mind. Fatty realised the Doctor had a huge influence on him. If this were in the past, he would have an issue just standing at this mont, much less trying to have a mont with the Doctor.
“Hmm?” Fatty seed to realise sothing. He looked at the Doctor, who was still scanning their surroundings. The Doctor…
He asked, “Doctor, do you rember sothing?”
“I guess you can say that.” The Doctor pulled Fatty to his side because the things started to encroach on them. “I believe I’ve found a way.”
Fatty beca excited. He was energised, “Then, what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Jiang Cheng continued to look at him. Fatty saw sothing that he didn’t want to see in Jiang Cheng’s eyes.
It didn’t take Fatty that long to understand it, “Doctor…” He said tremblingly, “Is it…”
“My way can only ensure one person leaving,” Jiang Cheng said, “It might work for two people, but the risk will be very high. If it fails, no one will be able to leave.”
Blood drained from Fatty’s face. His hope was dashed again. His lips were blue.
“If you tell
you wish to go with ,” Jiang Cheng paused, “Then I’ll try to bring you with , but I hope you’ll understand that it is very risky and not worth it.”
The monsters were so close that they could sense the stink on them. Jiang Cheng stared at Fatty. Then, he said in a very formal tone, “So…”
Fatty lowered his head.
“Doctor, you should go.” He raised his head. His expression was not one Jiang Cheng expected. Even though the sadness in his eyes couldn’t be hidden, he tried his best to smile. “I’m so happy to have known you, Doctor.”
