Start by summoning Black Death Mou

Chapter 221
"Hey! Brat!"

With a snap, Gu Chen, who was soundly asleep, was patted off the sofa by a big hand.

Gu Chen raised his head in a daze, and then saw a man standing in front of him who looked somewhat similar to himself, and he was looking at Gu Chen with a smile on his face.

That was Gu Chen's father before time travel, Gu Changqing.

The first moment he saw his father, Gu Chen's eyes turned red.

Different from the father who wanted to kill him wholeheartedly, the father in front of him was the real father who raised Gu Chen. Gu Chen, who hadn't seen his father for a long time, saw his father for the first time. , There is the urge to cry.

However, Gu Chen, who has excellent control over his body, quickly held back his tears, but he didn't say a word, he looked as if he had just woken up and his head was not very bright.

Dad didn't see anything wrong with Gu Chen, he patted Gu Chen's shoulder with a smile and said:
"Stinky boy, when did you come back? Didn't you call in advance?"

"...I came back in the afternoon. I saw no one at home, so I slept on the sofa for a while."

Gu Chen barely suppressed his emotions, tried to sound calm and normal, and explained to his father.

Dad was very happy when his son came back, but he couldn't help complaining when he spoke:

"Tell me about you, don't tell us when you come back, so I can ask your mother to buy you something delicious."

"What to buy? Home-cooked meals are enough. I eat takeaway outside every day. I haven't eaten anything delicious."

Gu Chen said with a smile.

Dad shook his head and said, "No, I have to ask your mother to cook something delicious."

With that said, Dad took out his mobile phone and called Gu Chen's mother.

Gu Chen said helplessly: "It's really unnecessary."

"You don't need me!"

Gu Chen's father said suddenly, then rolled his eyes at Gu Chen and said: "You don't know what I eat at home every day, you come back after a long time, why don't you use your money to eat something delicious? , don’t try to persuade me, I’ll just ask your mother to buy a few pig’s trotters.”

"..."

Well, I wanted to eat it when I co-authored it until the end. As expected of my father, this is dear.

Gu Chen was even more helpless in his heart, but there was a smile on his face.

He hadn't felt the warmth of this kind of family affection for a long time.

Gu Chen was thinking about it, while his father quickly called his mother, and said:
"Wife, what, my son is back, you can buy some delicious food, chicken legs and pig's trotters, by the way, don't forget to buy a few bottles of wine."

"..."

"Tsk, what do you mean lying to you! Don't you know if your son is back or not? Besides, what's wrong with me drinking two bottles of wine with my son? Not much, and no white wine, beer is fine... Alas , if it doesn’t work, a bottle will do!”

When he first made the phone call, Gu Chen's father was still confident, but before he even had a few words, his father bent down and discussed terms with his mother pitifully.

Gu Chen found it interesting, then motioned for his father to bring the phone, and said into the phone:
"Mom, it's me. Yes, I'm really back. I also want to eat something delicious, but I don't need the wine. I'm afraid my dad will have cholecystitis again."

"Hey! You brat, you're turning your elbows out, aren't you!"

Seeing Gu Chen push away his drink in two or three sentences, Gu Changqing was dumbfounded, and laughed and cursed beside him.

Gu Chen ignored him, and chatted with his mother for a few more words before hanging up the phone and returning the phone to his father.

Dad rolled his eyes at Gu Chen and muttered 'little white-eyed wolf' while walking to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to see what was inside.

Ever since Gu Chen's father came back, the smile on his face has never disappeared.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he really laughed. In that world, Gu Chen hid all his emotions in his heart, and never really expressed his feelings to anyone.

Over time, the cold and cruel mask became Gu Chen's own face. He couldn't take off that mask, and he couldn't treat others with his sincerity.

Even Gu Chen himself felt that this is the kind of person he should be, that he should be cold-blooded and ruthless, and that he should be selfish.

But he forgot that a long, long time ago, he was just an ordinary person, who could laugh and cry as loudly as other people, and express his feelings normally like ordinary people.

Until today, this illusion made Gu Chen regain these feelings.

Although these feelings can sometimes be a drag, only with these can one be considered a complete person.

Not long after Dad was busy in the kitchen, Mom returned home with a lot of things in big and small bags.

When the mother returned home, she also showed surprise when she saw Gu Chen sitting in the living room. Then she put down her things and gave Gu Chen a big hug without hesitation:
"You brat, Mom misses you!"

Mom hugged her tightly, her tone full of joy.

Gu Chen also raised his arms to hug his mother, and said with a trembling voice:

"I...I miss you too."

How could Gu Chen not want to? Although Gu Chen had forgotten his past life, he had never forgotten his real parents.

He had thought countless times that if his parents after time-traveling were his parents before time-traveling, then he might not be what he is now.

But fantasies are just fantasies and never become reality.

Including now.

But even if everything in front of him is just Gu Chen's illusion, Gu Chen is still willing to stay here.

At least for this moment, stay here.

Gu Chen's return made the parents very happy, because Gu Chen has not been back for nearly a year since he went out to work.

Even if it is Chinese New Year this year, because of the lack of holidays and the failure to buy tickets, I stayed in the big city and failed to reunite with my family.

Now that Gu Chen finally agrees to come back, his parents are of course happy.

When she was happy, her mother couldn't help calling Gu Chen's sister and said:
"Xiaoju, Xiaochen is back. Yes, I just came back today. Do you have time to come over tonight? By the way, bring your boyfriend with you and let them meet."

Gu Chen's older sister is called Gu Ju, the orange of oranges, and the name was given by her mother, because when Gu Ju was born, her mother ate oranges for a long time.

Still sour oranges.

After all, it was said at the time that sour children were hot, and the old Gu's family wanted a son, so even if the mother didn't want to, they had to eat more sour things.

In the end, a daughter was born.

But even though they gave birth to a daughter, Gu Changqing and Gu Chen's mother, Zhang Yun, never favored sons over daughters. On the contrary, when their daughter was first born, they were very close to each other.

Even after Gu Chen was born, he mostly doted on his daughter Gu Ju.

According to Gu Changqing's words, if the poor raise their sons and the rich raise their daughters, girls must be raised more delicately.

Because of this incident, Gu Chen was often angry with Gu Ju when he was a child.

But after all, it was something that happened when I was a child. When I grew up, Gu Ju began to take care of Gu Chen. If there was any good thing, I gave it to Gu Chen first. The relationship between the two was very close.

Mother Luo Yun called Gu Ju, and after receiving the call, Gu Ju took her boyfriend back home not long after.

It was also the first time that Gu Chen met his sister Gu Ju's boyfriend. He looked older than Gu Ju, wearing a neat suit, cleanly dressed, and had a kind face.

From the outside, this person should be a person with a good personality, but he doesn't know what he looks like on the inside.

The elder sister Gu Ju seemed to like him very much, and when the two were eating at the dinner table, Gu Chen's teeth were sore when they showed their affection there.

Not only her elder sister Gu Ju and her boyfriend, but even her own parents showed affection, making Gu Chen, the only single dog, fall into silence.

What's more, the mother was still there urging the marriage:
"Xiaochen, when will you find a girlfriend and come back? I still want to hug my grandson."

"I'll talk about it later... I'll talk about it later."

Gu Chen laughed, skipped the topic, and didn't want to talk about these things.

The parents didn't try to persuade him any more. After all, Gu Chen was still young, only in his twenties. As long as he found a girlfriend in the past few years and could get married before the age of 30, they would feel at ease.

Because of Gu Chen's return, the family ate very happily, and even mother Luo Yun made an exception to let father Gu Changqing drink, which made Gu Changqing happily kiss Luo Yun several times.

The dinner was enjoyed by the guest of honor, and Gu Chen didn't have any regrets in his heart.

In the middle of the night, after Gu Chen waited for his parents to fall asleep, he got up and went downstairs alone, and came to the riverside near his home. He leaned on the fence and looked at the rushing river in front of him, without saying a word.

After a while, her elder sister Gu Ju suddenly appeared next to Gu Chen. She maintained the same movement of leaning against the fence as Gu Chen, and then asked:
"Got to go?"

"Ah."

"Aren't you going to stay for a while? My parents miss you very much. They are very happy when you come back this time."

Gu Ju said softly.

Gu Chen turned his head and glanced at Gu Ju.

Gu Ju's appearance is more similar to Gu Chen's, but softer and more beautiful. Although his appearance is not perfect, it can be said to be above average.

But at this moment, in Gu Ju's bright eyes, there is a deep reluctance for Gu Chen.

Gu Chen looked at her, smiled and said:
"What about you? Miss me?"

"Cut, who misses you? I've been against me since I was a child. I wish you could leave soon."

Gu Ju rolled her eyes, and said to Gu Chen seemingly disgusted.

Gu Chen smiled and said:

"That's it, then I'm relieved."

"..."

The smile on Gu Ju's face gradually disappeared, she turned her head to look at Gu Chen, and said with a complicated expression:
"Once you leave, you won't be able to come back."

"Ok, I know."

"You can obviously stay here as long as you want, you know."

Gu Ju said again.

Gu Chen clenched his fists a little bit, he moved his eyes away from Gu Ju, looked into the distance again, and said after a long time:
"Ok, I know."

When the regret was over, Gu Chen also knew how to leave here.

It's actually very simple, as long as you take the initiative to abandon everything in the illusion and leave here unswervingly.

At first, Gu Chen didn't think about leaving because he came to the 'real world' suddenly. Gu Chen subconsciously thought of himself and his parents before time travel. At that time, he wanted to leave as soon as possible on the surface, but he still wanted to Go see your parents and relatives.

But not now.

Gu Chen has no regrets.

Gu Ju...or in other words, borrowed Gu Ju's body and memory, a certain existence in the illusion said through her mouth:
"It seems that you have thought it through, don't you regret it?"

"..."

Gu Chen didn't answer immediately, his fists were clenched tightly, and it took a long time before he said:
"…regret."

"That……"

"But I know, none of this is real, I know... I'll never go back, I'll never see my parents, I'll never see you, the people I can't see... No matter what I regret not being able to see it, I want to live for the person I can still see, I shouldn't stay here."

"..."

"This world may be very bad, very hopeless and hateful, but at least I live here, and the people I summoned, they also live here. In fact, I am not living for me alone."

Gu Chen said in a soft voice.

Gu Chen always said that he was alone, but in fact he already had many, many companions around him.

Starting from Black Death Mou, to Yubia Danxi, to Laziness, to Danzo, and then to Estes...

Those who appeared in this world because of him also live because of him.

Once Gu Chen died, these people who had already died would also die one by one.

Only when Gu Chen is alive can they continue to live.

So Gu Chen was no longer living for himself, he was living for more people.

No matter how much Gu Chen regretted it, no matter how much he wanted to see the person he could no longer see, he would never see him again.

Gu Chen is responsible for the people he can see.

"Just think it over, then... goodbye."

Gu Ju smiled at Gu Chen, her smile was bright, but there were tears rolling down her face.

The moment he saw her tears fall, Gu Chen couldn't tell whether she was just an illusion, or if Gu Ju was really standing in front of his eyes.

But Gu Chen had no other options.

If this was the real world, then Gu Chen would probably hesitate, and even choose to stay here.

After all, no matter how bad it is here, it is still a modern society, a modern society with perfect order.

But this is not the real world. No one knows where the world before Gu Chen traveled, and Gu Chen can't find a way to go back.

He can only choose to stay.

Tears fell like raindrops, Gu Chen couldn't take it anymore and knelt down in front of Gu Ju.

But Gu Ju didn't say anything, her figure gradually disappeared, and the surrounding scene gradually faded and disappeared with the passage of time, leaving only a piece of pure white where nothing could be seen.

The modern scene disappeared, but Gu Chen did not return to the palace where Emperor Qi'an was.

He stayed in this pitch-black space, waiting for a long time without hearing anything else.

After a while, Gu Chen gathered his mind and stood up to look at this space. Just as he was about to investigate what was going on in this space, suddenly a slap came from the shadows.

"You bastard!!"

The angry tone, disgusting voice, and the palm waving towards him made Gu Chen subconsciously recall the experience of the original owner when he was beaten and scolded by his father.

Dodging gently, Gu Chen looked forward, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

It was a mocking smile.

Right in front of Gu Chen, a middle-aged man in a fine attire stared at Gu Chen angrily. Seeing that Gu Chen dared to avoid his palm, the middle-aged man slapped him again and said:
"How dare you hide!? You rebellious son who killed his father and mother!!"

As the middle-aged man said, he was about to slap Gu Chen again.

But the next moment, Gu Chen sent the Heavenly Sword in his hand into the opponent's chest.

puff-

Looking at Gu Chengping with a look of astonishment, Gu Chen smiled very happily. He sent the Heavenly Sword further forward in his hand, and then said to Gu Chengping:
"I'll just kill you, what's wrong? If I can kill you the first time, I can kill you the second time!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Chen drew out the Heavenly Sword and cut off Gu Chengping's head without hesitation.

Looking at his fallen head, Gu Chen's expression returned to his usual coldness, and he said coldly to the suspected Gu Chengping:

"Besides, I'm in a bad mood right now. If you can come out a few more times and let me kill you, I might thank you very much."

Gu Chen's voice was very soft, but there was a chilling killing intent in his words.

One thing he said was right.

That's how he's feeling right now, and it's really bad.
