"Death…"
Zhong Li looked down.
Back then, he had indeed felt the special kindness that had come from the end of his life.
But he was the Rock King.
In his opinion, everyone around him had a special attitude towards him.
It was all admiration and respect.
Perhaps it was only when he died that he felt a trace of affection between a man and a woman.
However, after hearing Lin Mo's story.
Only then did he know that Gui Zhong's feelings for him were actually so passionate.
Zhong Li also looked at the street with dim lights.
It was late at night.
The pedestrians on the street had already returned.
The bustling night market gradually became deserted.
"I want to know what Guizhong thought of me before she left.”
Zhong Li said lightly.
Lin Mo did not respond.
But his thoughts couldn't help but return to that year with Zhong Li's question.
The year he left.
Li Yue, Southern Heavenly Gate.
"Ruo Tuo, you have to bathe more often in the future ~"
"Look at you, those large pieces of dead skin that fell off your body have turned into rock dragon lizards ~"
"They're so fierce, what if they hurt Liyue's people ~"
Returning Dead patted the big guy's head.
Although he was reprimanding her, his voice was full of affection.
"Mother... The sea is very itchy, I don't like it…"
Ruo Tuo Dragon King's deep voice sounded a little aggrieved.
"Guizhong, why don't you look at Ruo Tuo's body?”
"In the entire Liyue, there's no place for this guy to bathe.”
Lin Mo smiled bitterly and said,"If it's washed with seawater, I reckon it'll be even more itchy when the water on its body is dry. Who knows how many Rock Dragon Lizards it'll give birth to after rolling around."”
"Mm, that's true."
Gui Jin did not continue to persuade him.
"Mother, you..."
Ruo Tuo seemed to have sensed something.
"Shush ~"
Gui Zhong placed his finger between his lips.
He signaled the big guy to stop talking.
Then, she smiled sweetly."In the future, you must listen to your father and the Emperor. Do you understand?"
Ruo Tuo Dragon King did not reply.
Its strength was comparable to Morax.
How could he not see the little demonic god power in his mother's body?
...
.....
Not long after, he returned to the Separation Plains.
"Alright, I'm back to the place I asked you to go back then ~"
Returning Final smiled and pointed to the stream."Back then, you were slacking off and sleeping here, right?”
After so many years, the two of them returned to the Land of Origin.
"Yes, I didn't expect so many years to pass in the blink of an eye.”
Lin Mo said lightly.
"Aiya, why are you suddenly so bored?”
Gui Zhong was unhappy. He put his hands on his waist and said,"I'm not blaming you for not helping me get the Emperor. It's just that I'm not capable enough."
Lin Mo did not respond.
He was depressed, not because he did not manage to catch up to the Emperor.
It was because he knew.
The young girl in front of him was about to return to dust.
"How much time do we have?"
Lin Mo went straight to the point.
"Uh... "Hehe, about half a day."
Ultimate smiled awkwardly.
There was no sadness on his face.
"Let's go find the Emperor."
"He will accompany you in your final moments," Lin Mo said lightly.”
When he opened his mouth.
He didn't look at Gui Zhong's face.
She was afraid that if she saw it, she would not be able to help but feel even sadder.
"Hey, what do you mean?”
Gui Zhong pretended to be angry."You've helped me for so many years. Although you didn't succeed, it was hard on you, alright? I want to thank you, can't I?" At
this time, Lin Mo raised his head and looked at Guizhong's face.
"Hey, you can still look at me.”
A touching smile appeared on Gui Zhong's face.
At the same time, he took out the Lock of the World in his hand and said,"Here, I'm ready to lock you. From the moment I locked you up, the fate between us in this life has come to an end.”
"This life?"
Lin Mo didn't understand.
"You don't know, right?"
"
Demon Gods don't really die."”
"One day in the future, in some form, I will return.”
"Besides, why are you sadder than me when I'm ready to die?
"
Lin Mo did not respond.
Of course, he knew that the Demon God would not truly die.
But would the returning Demon God still retain the memories of his previous life?
However, Lin Mo didn't ask.
That was not important anymore.
After the monetary policy was introduced, he would leave this life and go to the next life to invite missions.
"Hey, talk to me."
Guimong's voice suddenly sounded a little aggrieved.
Lin Mo looked up and stared into her eyes.
"Lin Mo, thank you."
"I've been very happy these days.”
The moment he finally opened his mouth.
A tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.
...
Lin Mo slowly closed his eyes and turned around. He did not dare to look at her crying and said lightly,""I'm leaving. When you return, remember to repay me.”
"Yes, I agree."
...
This was his final farewell to Lin Mo before he passed away.
...
....
His thoughts returned to reality.
Lin Mo found that Zhong Li was still looking at him.
He was waiting for his reply,"What did Guimeng think of me before she left?"
"Emperor, the answer is in the lock.”
Lin Mo didn't answer directly and said lightly,""I don't want to let down my dying wish.”
Zhong Li looked at the Lock of the World on the table and didn't say anything for a long time.
In just a few minutes.
The encounter with the end.
The various battles that he had experienced with Death.
Parting from death.
Every scene replayed in his mind.
He asked himself, did he not have any good feelings about the end of the world?
The answer was yes.
Especially when he heard Lin Mo talking about everything that Guimian had done for him.
Zhong Li was finally touched.
At this moment, he said,
"If it's a lock that can only be opened by love.”
"The most likely time to open the lock should be now.”
Zhong Li said.
He took the Lock of the World from the table with one hand.
The moment he touched the lock.
"Kacha ~"
A soft sound was heard.
The lock of the world opened.
"It's opened!"
Lin Mo was in disbelief.
He did not expect that in such a short period of time.
Zhong Li had really opened the Lock of the World.
Could it be that she had finally moved this man because she had told him about the sacrifices she had made in her death?
But right now, that was not important.
What was important was the note left for Zhong Li in the lock.
"This child…"
Zhong Li looked at the note and couldn't help but smile bitterly.""This kind of prank is indeed her character.”
"A prank?"
Lin Mo was a little confused.
"Mm, I guess you didn't expect this either.”
Zhong Li was very calm.
As he spoke, he handed the note to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo looked down and was stunned.""A blank note?"
He had thought about many things.
I've thought that the note was a confession from the deep love.
She had thought that the note would be filled with regrets.
But he never thought that he would leave behind a blank note.
She was someone who liked the Emperor so much.
Why would the Emperor leave behind a blank note after opening the Lock of Yearning?
"I might have guessed her intentions.”
The Emperor said calmly.
"What's your intention?"
Lin Mo couldn't help but be curious.
Zhong Li smiled and explained,
"She knows that you might be stingy.”
"Or perhaps they will be dissatisfied with me because of this matter.”
"I won't pass on the knowledge of the mechanism to Liyue.”
"So, the knowledge that you gave her, she carved it all into the lock.”
"But the price for obtaining this knowledge is…”
"Satisfy her regrets."
"When I really have the ability to open the lock, she'll be willing to give your knowledge to Liyue.”
....
Hearing Zhong Li's words.
Lin Mo nodded slowly.
"Although there is a certain logic behind it.”
"But…Isn't this too childish?"
Lin Mo was puzzled.
"She's a casual person.”
Zhong Li replied lightly,
"The reason why I left a blank note for prank…"
"He probably wants me to be angry…"
"She thought that by doing this, I wouldn't feel guilty for not responding to her feelings in time back then.”
...
Lin Mo listened and nodded slowly.
Although it was a little childish.
However, his thoughts were very comprehensive.
It did seem like the character of a dead man.
Thinking of this…
"Emperor, don't you know her very well? Why didn't you feel her passionate feelings back then?" Lin Mo asked curiously.”
"Back then, all my old friends treated me with similar attitudes.”
"Admiration, respect, worship.”
"From what I can see, Guimeng's attitude towards me is different.”
"There's no fundamental difference between him and other Immortals.”
"Just like you, besides me, you wouldn't be so respectful to anyone else, right?”
Zhong Li asked lightly.
"Yes, indeed."
Lin Mo nodded.
"If you hadn't told me what you've done for me back then, I wouldn't have known.”
Zhong Li smiled.""Maybe…My heart won't be moved, and I won't be able to open this lock of the world.”
Lin Mo saw a hint of relief in his smile.
It was as if the knot in his heart that had existed for thousands of years had been untied.
It seems that it is because of the mechanism of the lock.
"Old friend, thank you."
Zhong Li's thanks were sincere.
"Yes…This also doesn't have any emblems.
Lin Mo shook his head.
He looked at Zhong Li with some confusion.
He was still unsure.
When Zhong Li unlocked the Lock of Yearning, did he really fall in love with Death, or was it a momentary emotional shock?
But...
I'm gone.
None of this seemed to be important anymore.
At this moment, Zhong Li saw a busy figure in the distance.
After taking a sip of tea, he said lightly,"I admit that I've let her down.”
"But old friend, are you done?”
...
"Me? ???
Lin Mo was immediately puzzled.
Zhong Li slowly put down his teacup and said,""Death is over, regret is a foregone conclusion.”
"But old friend, you can still redeem the beauty you let down during that time.”
...
"Who is it?"
Lin Mo subconsciously followed Zhong Li's line of sight.
A girl with blue curly hair.
He was laboriously putting up missing person notices by the roadside.
Who else could it be other than Gan Yu, who worked overtime?
"Gan Yu? I was very good to her back then."
"She only admires me as an elder ~"
？”
Lin Mo was simply confused.
"Looks like you're the same as me back then. You can't tell love from admiration.”
Zhong Li smiled.
Today was the day he smiled the most in thousands of years.
"No, then tell me, Emperor, how did she love me?”
Lin Mo couldn't help but ask.
"I won't mention what you've experienced in the past.”
"Tell me about the days after you left," Zhong Li said lightly."How was it?"”
"Speak! If you don't tell me why, don't even think about putting me in the same category as you.”
