The flames burned the branches, making crackling sounds from time to time. The man looked at the little girl for a long time, his eyes indifferent. There was neither the gentleness nor the coldness as usual, just pure numbness.

"I have wanted to ask you for a long time why you wanted to talk to me, a man nailed to a pillar, and tell me those fairy tales."

The little girl was a little scared. She felt that the big brother today seemed to have become a different person. But even so, when she saw the man's bloody body, she still spoke timidly in a low voice.

"Because...brother...you look...in pain."

“It’s very pitiful.”

After the words fell, there was a silence. The smoke lingered and fell at the man's feet. The man slowly raised his eyes, then revealed a complicated and incomprehensible smile and said in a hoarse voice.

"I forgot that you were once a good kid."

The little girl felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more weird. She looked at the man who had become a stranger and began to want to retreat. She moved her feet fearfully and backed away.

At this moment, the man's voice became gentle and he asked the little girl softly.

"Little guy, do you want to... know about the future?"

Future, a word full of hope, especially for a little girl, the future is all her hope. She stopped, looked at the man and nodded slightly.

"think."

After hearing the affirmative answer, the man narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the little girl's innocent face, a complex light flashed in his eyes, he pondered for a moment, then looked at the little girl's pupils, and said slowly.

"Your mother will become seriously ill soon."

"In order to cure your mother, you will cut a piece of flesh from my heart to cure your mother."

Hearing this, the little girl turned pale instantly, without a trace of blood, and even felt a little nauseous. Such a bloody future was not what she wanted to hear.

It was almost a subconscious choice. The little girl clenched the fairy tale book in her hand and spoke word by word.

"I won't do that."

"you're lying!"

Facing the angry little girl, the man smiled happily and spoke slowly.

"You will, trust me."

"Then, for years to come, you will always remember that bloody scene."

"This memory will become a worm in your bones, gnawing at your marrow, never stopping."

"Your personality will change drastically. You will become crazy and radical. Nine years later, you will bring a group of people to catch me if I escape."

"Then, I killed him."

It was summer at this time, but the little girl felt a chill penetrating into the pores of her body and chilling her to the bone.

"No...impossible."

The little girl couldn't accept what the man said, but she couldn't say anything to refute it. The man looked at the little girl, his eyes became gentle, and he spoke softly.

“So, I want to tell you.”

"I agree to you cutting off my flesh."

"Don't blame yourself, don't be sad, this is what I give you."

The little girl was stunned when she heard this, and looked at the man, speechless, while the man continued to talk to himself.

"The ending is set, but it's not the ending you deserve."

After saying that, the man seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at the little girl and asked with a smile.

"Little guy, can I trust you?"

The little girl was so frightened by the man's series of nonsense that she didn't answer his question immediately, but the man made his own decision.

"Next, I will say a lot of things that sound incredible."

"You may not believe it, but time will prove everything."

"You just need to remember all this and then find me nine years later."

"Tell me back then what I'm saying now."

The little girl was confused. Her little head was bewildered by the man's confusing words. For a moment, she forgot her previous loss and fear, and asked with curiosity.

"Why do you have to tell me something and then tell it to yourself through me?"

Hearing this, the man felt helpless and bitter. He raised his eyebrows and sighed.

"I can't explain it, and I don't want to fill your little head with long stories."

"I can only tell you that I am only here temporarily. I don't know why this happened, but I don't think it will last long."

"I don't know how much time I have left, so I don't want to waste too much time making you remember these things that I can't understand myself."

The man's long and boring words made the little girl even more confused, but they also successfully blocked the little girl's questions and calmed her down.

"The first thing I want to tell you is that nine years from now, the end of the world will truly come."

"The night will grow longer and longer until it completely takes over the entire world."

"I will tell you my future hiding place. You must rush there as soon as possible. It will be the last place to see the sun."

This story, which sounded like a fairy tale, quickly attracted the little girl's attention. She perked up, listened attentively, and wrote down everything the man said according to his instructions.

On this summer night, the man said a lot and repeated it many times, just to make the little girl remember these words thoroughly.

"My flesh and blood do have magical uses."

"Nine years later, the people in this stronghold will find that their physiques have become different from those of ordinary people. Their strength and speed will be enhanced."

"So, they will send you with a team to look for my whereabouts."

"Remember, never confront me directly, otherwise you will probably be killed by me before you have time to explain."

"At that time, there will be a stronghold called the Ancient City Stronghold. You go and contact a guy named Li Yi in the Ancient City."

"He has a big truck. Ask him for the truck and then ambush me."

"When I'm driving on the plains, I tend to get distracted and have wild thoughts. I need you to drive a truck on the plains and step on the accelerator to crash my car."

"I will most likely pass out. If I don't, you can aim at my head and empty the magazine in your hand."

"That should put me in a coma for a while."

The little girl was stunned by the man's words. She blinked, looked at the man, and couldn't help sighing.

"Brother, you are really too hard on yourself."

Hearing this, the man rolled his eyes indifferently and muttered in a low voice.

"Anyway, it's not me who's getting shot right now, and it doesn't hurt."

"..."

After being absent-minded for a moment, the little girl couldn't help but hold her stomach and laughed cutely.

"Hahahahaha."

The man looked at the little girl laughing heartily, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. He said this as if he just wanted to make the little girl happy.

After a brief laugh, the man thought for a moment and then spoke to the little girl.

"When you succeed in catching me, remember to tie my hands and feet with chains, otherwise your life will still be in danger."

"You have to show that you don't have any hostility. At that time, I was probably still a person who liked to talk nonsense."

"So, I should patiently listen to what I taught you."

The little girl took note of the story carefully. Although the story was too bizarre, for some reason she was willing to believe it.

The man took a deep breath and then spoke to the little girl.

"Next, the most important sentence."

"You have to tell me about that time."

"Tongtong is the key to this gamble."

Chapter 149 Fireworks (Part 3)

"Next, the most important sentence."

"You have to tell me about that time."

"Tongtong is the key to this gamble."

When the little girl heard this, a glimmer of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Big brother, who is the Tongtong you are talking about?"

After he finished speaking, the man fell into a long silence. His eyes became evasive, complicated, and deeply powerless.

"She...is the most important person to me."

“It’s also one of the sources of this old story.”

The little girl didn't understand what the so-called source meant, but asked the man very competently.

"So what should I remember next?"

After hearing this, the man pondered for a moment, then smiled and spoke softly.

"At that time, what I was most concerned about was probably the specific content of the gambling game."

"The content of the bet is actually very simple. At that time, humans and zombies will be divided into two camps."

“Plants and Humans.”

"The camp represented by the plant is centered around a pink flower. That pink flower is like a drug."

"People who come into contact with the pink flowers will quickly become addicted, but at the same time, the pink flowers will parasitize in the person's body and change that person's thoughts and personality."

"Until the end, it completely took over that person's body. Its complete form was a pink flower growing out of an eye socket."

"It should be noted that the pink flower will cause the host's body to mutate, and both physical strength and speed will be greatly improved."

"And the other camp is me."

"I don't know what kind of evil taste this is. After the gambling game appeared, my flesh and blood also had the effect of strengthening my physique."

"This is such a ridiculous rule. The spread of pink flowers increases the camp, but I need to be fed with flesh and blood."

"People from the two camps will instinctively develop a sense of hostility, but the pink flower is the most powerful poison to those who have eaten my flesh and blood."

"The blood of those who have eaten my flesh and blood is also poisonous to plants like pink flowers."

"And the rules for determining the winner of the gambling game are also very simple."

"Both camps have a leader with the same origin. When the leader's heart is dug out, they will be judged as failures."

"Yeah, that guy is right."

"Even if I lose the bet, I won't die. It's just that the outcome of this bet..."

“It’s going to be a bad ending.”

After speaking such a long speech, the man paused for a moment, breathing slightly, he lowered his eyebrows and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"If...I mean if."

"If I can win this time."

"You must, you must think about that wish."

“Don’t make the same mistake again.”

……

"That's all you said to me that night."

"After you said those words, you fell into a coma. When you woke up, you had no memory of what you said."

Zi Su's story came to an abrupt end here. I listened to all the details quietly. When I heard this, I couldn't help but ask softly.

"Is that all? Are there any additional details?"

Zi Su raised her eyebrows and looked at me, who was a little uneasy. Her eyes seemed to see into the depths of my heart. She smiled slightly and asked playfully.

"Are you asking if there is anything about that Hitomi?"
