The Last Mecha

Chapter 169 Contradictions
The sudden commotion caused by Jiang Mulin and Russell did not spread to Huaining Street, and the dazzling paper lanterns outside would continue to be set off throughout the night until they burned their last wick.

In contrast, the house in Shikumen looked very deserted. Xu Qiuyu, who was in poor health, and Wu Yiou, who was doing heavy work, went to bed early. Although the young Wu Yong promised to come back before bedtime, he obviously forgot this promise. The eldest sister Wu Jingting was also unexpectedly not at home.

In short, the house is quiet now, and there is almost no sound.

The voices of people outside were separated from the window opposite the window like boiling water. Wu Gou and Nan Zhiyun tiptoed back into the room, the sweat from the hot summer night wind still hanging on their faces.

After talking for an hour, she was very self-conscious, and Wu Gou didn't spoil children.

This may be the last time the girl sees Jiang Song's gorgeous lights. A few days later, the vehicle arranged by Jiaolong Yangxing will take her out of the city without leaving a trace.

I will never come back in this life.

In his opinion, the paper lantern will be a success, allowing the girl locked in a small space to see the beauty of the world and telling her that she still has the motivation to live.

Sometimes, there is no way to give up, it is something that must be accepted.

As long as you're alive--

Wu Gou looked at the girl's face, she had a pensive expression, and lightly licked the corner of her lips with her tongue, as if she was still reminiscing about the deliciousness before, but she put on makeup powder stupidly, making herself bitter frown.

After doing so much, it only takes two drops of blood, isn't it a bit of a loss?

he thought jokingly.

There is no time to spend more time for her, nourishing energy, collecting electricity, and Jiang Mulin's memory core in the early morning. The things at hand are piled up like a hill. The kindness he can share is limited, because he himself It's just a person too.

Speaking of these days, the harvest is indeed not small. Tanwu opened up the first floor of the tower, and the body initially possessed a little characteristic of electromagnetic affinity. The value on the Qi detection device also soared all the way to 9.28. Seems to have a slight effect.

The 10 mark is coming soon.

Just when he was about to enter his own rhythm, a girl's voice suddenly came from his ear.

"I am very happy today."

Nan Zhiyun smiled faintly. She washed off her makeup and took off her wig. Her long hair like a waterfall fell from her ears again, and her skin was as transparent as the moonlight.

"Ah, yes, the paper lantern festival is held once a year."

Wu Gou absently agreed, and concentrated on adjusting his state, preparing for the upcoming qi cultivation.

The faint sound of the stove outside the courtyard came through the crack in the wall. It was the medicine he had boiled, and he didn't want to chat with people at this time.

"You took me to the Paper Lantern Festival. In fact, are you trying to persuade me to give up?"

When Nan Zhiyun changed the subject, Wu Gou almost didn't realize it.

He originally wanted to settle down the happy memories of tonight, and wait until tomorrow to tell the person about it, but now the other party spoke directly, making him at a loss for what to say for a while.

This girl is not stupid, not stupid at all, she just doesn't say many things, but she knows everything in her heart.

"."

Wu Gou opened his mouth, didn't think about what to say for a while, and finally nodded sullenly.

There is no need to lie about things that have to be explained sooner or later.

"If you feel cheated, I apologize to you." He finally choked out a sentence.

The girl shook her head, her eyes blinked under the moonlight, like jewels.

"I know it too. You said you could help me, but you are only as old as me. Although I feel that you are amazing, mature, powerful, and mysterious, you know many things that people of your age should not know, and you There is a lot of energy, but you are just one person." Her lips moved, her voice was steady, and for a moment Wu Gou couldn't tell whether those words were true or not, "Actually, no matter how unwilling, one thousand ten thousand, I I can't think of any good way, and I think you are the same."

"I know, don't talk about saving people, it's even possible that he's gone..."

"Some things just have no solution. After all, no one can change it. Otherwise, Liulizhong would not have to leave his homeland. The mountains and rivers in Annan are also beautiful."

"Thank you. These days in Jiangsong, I feel relaxed, which is rare, and I am very happy tonight."

"I've also figured it out. I've known about things that can't be forced, but I've just been willful."

"But I was born not to be willful."

As she said so, her expression was so calm that Wu Gou was at a loss for a moment.

Biting his lip, he could only nod his head and said, "I'll arrange things about going out of the city. There won't be any problem. Where do you want to go?"

"Hangcheng."

"Why?" Wu Gou was taken aback.

"I heard that it's a city on the water, it's very beautiful, and it's not too far from Jiangsong."

"A big city is actually safer than a small city. You are too conspicuous in a remote place. Two to three days is enough. I will arrange for you to leave and help you find an inconspicuous job. If you change your name, you will have a new life, and you will find that there are more interesting festivals than paper lantern festivals in this world, and there will be people worthy of your company."

"It's just that there are no relatives of mine there."

Nan Zhiyun's faint words almost made Wu Gou tongue-tied.

Immediately after she finished speaking, she raised her arm and tapped her slender fist on the head, leaving a faint red mark.

"I'm making a mistake again." The girl shook her head, and then her tone became careless, "If I go, will you come to see me? Occasionally, I mean, like watching another lantern festival or something, wait for me It's not a troublesome time anymore."

"Given the chance, I will."

Wu Gou responded, feeling guilty involuntarily.

"it is good."

Those amber eyes looked at him with brilliance, but at that moment, Wu Gou felt as if his chest had been pulled by a knife.

When the dust settled, the girl in front of her grinned, as if her smile was covered with moonlight.

Tonight's qi cultivation was not very smooth, but the electricity collection reaction was not bad. After all, that thing didn't have too many mysteries, it was more of deadly skills.

After midnight, facing Jiang Mulin who was in his prime in the memory core, his punches and kicks also carried inexplicable anger, and his moves became extra vicious unconsciously.

But Jiang Mulin is not an opponent that can be defeated by spirit. After using it several times in a row, not only did he not surpass the previous record, but it got worse and worse.

The last time, in just ten fights, he was punched and broke his jawbone.

Wu Gou finally had to admit that there was something wrong with his mentality, and he was a little messy.

The principle of soul projection brought him back to this era, but at the same time, the fusion between two souls, one big and one small, the cold and the hot, had a great influence on him.

To be honest, this matter has nothing to do with him. He took the risk to hide someone and entered his house, took great pains to make her happy, ease her thoughts, and finally find someone to send her out of the city in the safest way to give her a new life. life.

To put it bluntly, it's all about love, no duty, and the only reward is a few drops of Liuli blood voluntarily given by others. Although it is precious, it is not something critical and irreplaceable.

Continue to take risks for that brother who doesn't know how to live or die, not to mention that he has no clue now, even if there is, how many chances of winning can be guaranteed, and the girl herself may be the one who is harmed in the end, and she is the one who is coveted by this city.

He has done enough.

But this inexplicable sense of guilt just stays in my heart, and I can't get rid of it for a long time.

If he had been himself in the last doomsday era, Wu Gou thought that he would not be troubled by this kind of problem for a second. He would frankly admit that this is not a perfect solution, but it is the best available now.

But now, he can't do it.

Is it the influence of another personality, or has lived in this peaceful and peaceful era for a long time, forgetting the rational and objective set of the previous life.

He didn't have an answer in his mind, and to put it bluntly, the soul projection was just speculation.

Wu Gou guessed that his condition was not good tonight, and it would be useless to waste himself if he continued, so he simply packed up the set of memory cores and sat down on the ground.

In the quiet courtyard, the frost-like moonlight, he raised his head and stared at the sky in a daze.

But soon, Wu Gou's eyelids twitched.

It was very strange, the moon in the sky was like falling snow, sporadic brilliance floated down, like jewels shining with halos.

They landed very fast, and soon gathered around Wu Gou, forming a vague human silhouette.

In the next second, everything quickly became clear.

Wu Gou's eyes widened, but soon he let out a breath and his expression returned to normal.

The human form formed by the moonlight is like another 15-year-old self, exactly the same, making him feel like there is a mirror beside him.

"Every time you appear on the stage, you are dazzling enough." He couldn't help saying.

"Find the trick, you can make me see the same thing." The boy replied.

"Why, won't you avoid me this time?"

"No, I just don't think it's necessary."

"Don't want to talk to someone?"

"Everything you do is actually equivalent to what I do. I am also experiencing it, but I don't lead it."

"That's it."

After Wu Gou finished speaking, the two fell into a long silence, looking up at the sky together.

After a long while, he continued, "Then why don't you think about leading it again?"

"You're doing better than me, much better."

"People have to learn, whoever is born will run away."

"I've learned a lot from you."

"It's not as fast as learning by yourself."

"But there will be a price to pay, and I will leave it to you, which can avoid a lot of harm. For example, Nan Zhiyun, if it were me, I would probably find a way to help her to the end. It doesn't matter if you take some risks yourself, and it may even be hot-blooded." It hurts the family."

Wu Gou turned his head, looked at his young self, paused for a while and then said, "The purpose of your coming out is to persuade me to help her?"

"No, I don't understand either. You, a person over 100 years old, are confused. Can I figure it out?"

"Then what are you here for?"

"It's just a feeling, it feels like you want to talk to someone, but you can't find it, so I came out."

"You know what to say." Wu Gou smiled faintly. Talking to another self is a wonderful experience. He suddenly turned his head and asked with some malicious intentions, "You won't like him, will you?"

He originally wanted to see the panic after being hit by a word, or the way he tried to refute it, after all, young people who have no experience in the world are like this.

But the boy not far away just shook his head: "I am also influenced by you, just like I influenced you."

Wu Gou understood that this young soul was not lying. He faced himself with a sense of maturity that surpassed those of his peers, and also surpassed how he felt towards him during the previous few encounters.

"But—" Xiao Wugou suddenly said, "Do you feel that she likes you?"

Wu Gou was stunned for a moment when he said this, he subconsciously wanted to say no, but then he realized it.

Why not?There are too many elements for assistance when you are desperate, a good skin, and unforgettable moments.

He took everything into consideration, but he forgot that damned youth, in his own eyes, was just a fleeting thing, but to that girl, it was the first blooming flower.

At this time, how can he respond?For a precarious girl, after waking up every day, she doesn't know if she will see the sun the next day.

"Last night, you didn't even pay attention to her eyes." The boy on the opposite side continued, "It's shining, very bright."

Wu Gou pursed his lips and wanted to speak several times, but he didn't think about what to say, and finally laughed dumbly, "When will I have trouble with this kind of problem?"

"But I don't think you did anything wrong." The boy said, "Weighing the pros and cons is your way of thinking. This way of dealing with it is the most sensible for both us and her. This world is too cruel for her. It was my idea to take that cruelty as my own guilt."

"My influence on you is deeper than I imagined." Wu Gou looked at him fixedly. The two souls in this body are still changing until today, and no one knows what will become in the end. Know, "What do you think?"

"I think, who didn't like someone when they were young, and they have to live to that age to become a regret in their memories - of course, it's a bit strange for me to say this, it's just that I have seen your long-term memory Later thoughts."

"It's really strange, you hairless guy."

"So I think, just don't lie to her. As for her brother's matter, let's see if there is a turnaround. There are still two or three days. Although you said that to her, you have actually made two-handed preparations. "

"I don't want others to know about being comforted by a teenager." Wu Gou smiled helplessly after hearing this.

"That's all I have in mind and nothing else. I really want to help her, but I don't have that ability. In the end, I have to admit that you are right." The boy opposite stood up and raised his palm towards him. "See you next time." .”

As soon as the two clapped their hands, the boy's body in front of him shattered into moonlight.

"Don't lie to her." Wu Gou murmured, he stretched, and suddenly felt a lot calmer in his heart, and then turned his eyes to the memory core that was quietly placed.

continue.

Tomorrow afternoon is Lawrence's auction. No matter what, he wants to get the biological machine tool, considering various aspects.

In the gap in the morning, he happened to be able to meet someone.
