The days when I helped the protagonist come to power [System]

Ersie took a deep breath and walked toward the river bank.

He didn't deliberately hide the sound of his footsteps, but until he reached Heluomi's side, that person didn't look back, as if he had completely lost his vigilance to the outside world, which made Erxi frowned.

"Helomi." Erxi called softly.

no response.

Erxi held his temper and yelled a few more times before the other party shook his body, as if he had just woken up, and slowly turned his head.

"Ersie?"

He didn't call him "Teacher" or "E", but directly called him by his real name, which undoubtedly confirmed Erxi's previous guess—this person... probably had contact with the Howling Banshee.

"What's the matter with you?" Erxi didn't know how much the other party knew about the past, so he tentatively asked as if nothing had happened.

Hei Luomi had a strange expression at this moment.

Although he was right in front of him, Erxi felt that he seemed to be standing in a very far away place. His person was here, but his heart was still far away. His eyes were a little dazed and dazed, as if he was not there. Dare to be realistic.

"Hey, what's the matter with your distraught ghost look?" There was a burst of irritability for no reason, and Erxi suddenly said angrily, "Stand up for me!"

Just like a glass window smashed by a stone, the sense of distance that was still far away was immediately swept away by the roar. The person jumped up instinctively, and after standing there for a while, he seemed to have just discovered the person in front of him. Same, showing a surprised expression.

"Teacher?" Heluomi looked at Erxi and then at the surrounding environment, making sure that he was not in the illusion at this time, "You...how are you here?"

"I want to know too." Speaking of this Erxi, he was very depressed. "When the teleportation was about to end, the Lich King suddenly appeared. I don't know what he did. Anyway, I was dragged in."

"The Lich King?" Heluomi hadn't heard this name for five years, and Heluomi's expression immediately became vigilant, "Did he come in together?"

Erxi shook his head: "I don't know. But it doesn't matter. Even if he comes, I won't be afraid. The big deal is a fight." He looked at Heluomi, "Tell me about you, you are from the secret realm trial How is it going?"

Hei Luomi was silent for a while.

"I'm not going to participate in the candidacy."

Ersie didn't react for a while: "What?"

"I'm not going to compete for the position of the Holy Son," Heluomi repeated calmly, "and I won't continue this selection of candidates."

Erxi stared at him for a full three minutes before bursting out.

"reason?"

Heluomi didn't speak.

"I want to know the reason," Ersie repeated, holding back his anger.

Hei Luomi lowered his head, staring at the ground under his feet.

"Teacher, don't you know yourself?"

"If I know better, do I still need to ask you?!" Ersie really wanted to hit someone.

"Teacher." Hei Luomi still lowered his head, and his voice was low, "How did you die in your previous life?"

Ersie gasped for breath.

Could it be that what Heluomi saw on the side of the Howling Banshee was the memory of him killing himself in his previous life?

"It's just... just a normal death." Erxi reluctantly said, and then heard the man let out a short wry smile.

"Where was I when you died?" Heluomi asked.

Ersie turned his head, his eyes wandering a bit: "...I don't know."

Hei Luomi sighed heavily.

"Teacher, don't hide from me anymore." He raised his head again and looked at Erxi calmly. "You came to me for revenge?"

Erxi was stunned and didn't say anything for a while, but the other party thought it was acquiescence, and smiled lightly.

"Then you can kill me now." The man said with a serious face, "I won't resist."

Ersie: "..."

Erxi knew that Heromei was serious, and he could see it from his eyes; because of this, he found it even more ridiculous, so ridiculous that he almost burst out laughing.

"Are you talking in your sleep?" Ersie really couldn't laugh or cry, "Or do you think I'm stupid? If I want to kill you, I have to wait until now? Why didn't I kill you five years ago? Let's talk , who will come to the door to be the mentor of the other party in revenge, and then start revenge after training the other party? Is this because you are full and have nothing to do?!"

Of course, Hei Luomi understands this truth, and it is also what he is most puzzled by, but...

"You hate me so much." Thinking of the scenes he saw, his heart still can't calm down, "Actually, even I hate myself-I killed you so many times, anyone would hate me Right? I don’t know what I can do, and I don’t know how to make you feel better. I don’t even know if I am qualified to atone for my sins…” He was almost incoherent, “Even if you die , you don’t want to stay by my side, and you even say you don’t want to see me again... Then why do you still come to me? Besides revenge and life, what else could it be? Is there anything I can give you?"

"If you really want to do something for me, then go to participate in the selection of the Holy Son." Erxi said, "Being the Holy Son is the only thing I ask of you."

"And then?" Heluomi looked at him incomprehensibly, "After becoming the Son, will I kill you again? No...impossible, I will not let that happen again!"

He will never let this kind of thing happen again, and he will be extra vigilant when the other party forces him to kill himself - he wants to let this person live, live well, no matter what he is asked to do, even if the other party asks him to Don't appear in your own world again, and he will do the same.

He can give everything, sacrifice everything, even if he is asked to kill himself on the spot, even if he is going to make a deal with the devil, he will never hurt this person again.

— he swore.

It wasn't until a warm feeling came from the back of his hand that Hei Luomi realized that his heart was beating extremely fast just now, and he almost fell into a dazed state again.The hand holding him tightened slightly, skin to skin, and more warmth was conveyed.

"Yes, it won't happen."

Hei Luomi raised his head and met the calm gaze of the man. The man's voice was soft but firm, easily calming down the rampant anxiety and confusion in his heart.

"This time, you won't kill me again."

Ever since he knew that he had the right to leave this reincarnation on his own, Erxi realized that this reincarnation would really be completely different from what he had experienced in the past.

Although he also can't live for 20 years, for him who is "eternal", there is actually not much difference between living 20 years or 200 years.What really excited and looked forward to him was the sharp knife hanging above his head that said "you must die in the hands of Hei Luomi". This time, it finally disappeared.

Even just once, just once, is precious to Ersie——

They finally don't have to go to the point of turning against each other, and the tragedy that happened in the 100th reincarnation finally doesn't have to be staged again.This time, he can exit the stage calmly, use another posture, another identity, and another standpoint to say goodbye to the person in front of him peacefully, and calmly welcome his fate in more than ten years.

This is an experience that he has never tried before, and he has never expected to try it once.He wanted to try, and he had to try—of course, the premise was that Heluomi must return to the path of the protagonist, so he had to appease him, and he must not fail at this time.

"Heilomi, you don't need to cling to the past." Erxi stared into the man's eyes, even he didn't realize how patient and gentle his voice was at the moment.

"What the Howling Banshee shows you are of course the darkest and most unbearable memories, but besides those, there are many good and cherished memories." He paused slightly, "...far more than those bad ones. Memories, much more."

"Really?" The black-haired young man showed a bit of confusion on his face, "Did there really be any good memories between us?"

"Of course there was."

Hei Luomi looked at him for a long time with a strange expression, as if he was judging the authenticity of what he said.

"But you said you can't remember." Heluomi said in a low voice, with a deep bitterness in his voice, "The time you forced me to kill you...you said before you died that you couldn't remember us at all. Things happened when we made friends, and you have only endless hatred for me. Even if it is death, you don't want to see me again."

Even if he was just watching from the sidelines, he was deeply shocked by that kind of hatred that was so strong that it was almost crazy.Judging from the conversation between the two in memory, Heluomi knew that he and Erxi should have had a good relationship in that life, and even had a very good relationship, but why?Why did the two finally come to the brink of breaking up?Even more terrifying and tragic than any previous ending?

In this life...will he and Erxi come to this point in the end?

No matter what they have experienced, no matter how friendly they are at the moment, will one day all this be erased by hatred?His existence would still bring endless pain to this person. No matter how much he begged for forgiveness from the other party, no matter how much he tried to save everything, what he got in return would only be a bloodier and more desperate farewell?

Ersie sighed inwardly.

Sure enough... this person still saw what he least wanted Hei Luomi to see.

"What you saw was a long, long time ago." After pondering for a moment, Ersey said cautiously.

If converted into the continuation of time, the 100th reincarnation has passed more than 2000 years from now.If time can really wash away everything, then such a long time is indeed enough to wash away everything.

The madness, hatred, despair, and pain at that time have long been washed away into blurred phantoms in more than 2000 years.Although he would feel pain in his heart every time he recalled it, the strong hatred in his heart at that time has been replaced by more sober regret and guilt afterwards.

Especially knowing that during the 100th reincarnation, the other party still had feelings of love for him, but he used that method to force the other party to let go. One can imagine the shadow that this incident left on Hei Luomi in that life.At least for himself, if he tried his best to save the life of his sweetheart, and the other party not only did not understand, but also set a trap to force him to kill himself, Erxi felt that he would definitely go crazy on the spot.

"I admit that I hated you, and killing you was the only goal in my life." Ersey said, "but then I realized that hatred can't change anything. It’s better to let each other go than to let go of yourself.”

"Of course, there will still be grudges, but only the weak will live in the shadow of hatred forever, and I'm not so weak and useless." Erxi suddenly smiled, "Compared to hating you, or I'm trying to get revenge on you, I have more important things to do, you're not worth all my time and energy wasting on you alone, don't be too sentimental."

Although the other party's words sounded like another ruthless rejection of her, it was undeniable that Hei Luomi felt that the haze in her heart seemed to gradually dissipate.

"Ersie, can I still stay with you?" He hesitated and asked cautiously.

Erxi couldn't help laughing: "Haven't you been by my side for more than five years?"

"I'm not sure if I'm qualified to stay any longer." He lowered his head slightly, his voice was lonely and sad, "But... I finally understand why you have been rejecting me before, and I wouldn't agree if it was me With a murderer who killed himself countless times."

"But...but, I still like you very much, more than anyone else. Even if I know about our past, I can't erase this feeling, and even... even more..."

The man didn't go on.Ersie looked at him quietly, feeling a little unbelievable—it was the first time he had seen this man so bewildered, like a lost child, desperately trying to find an exit, But he dared not take a step like walking on thin ice.

In fact, it is understandable: this person has always believed that he and he were close friends in the previous life. He never dreamed that their actual relationship was a sworn enemy, and he had killed himself so many times with his own hands. The contrast between imagination and reality was too great. I am full of great confusion and uncertainty about my life, my future, and even my emotions.

——Exactly the same as myself after the 100th reincarnation.

At that time, I also experienced several reincarnations, and under the guidance of the businessman Winnie, I finally came to my senses and found myself again; how should this person get out now?

"...Let's do this." Ersie took a deep breath, trying to keep his expression as if nothing had happened.

"If you can become the Son of God, I promise you, give it a try."

"Try it?" Heluomi looked up blankly, "Try what?"

Ersie looked at him, but said nothing.

In fact, he regretted that sentence just after he finished it, because Ersie hadn't thought it through clearly; and the reason why he said such a sentence, perhaps more impulsiveness and pity occupied a little bit more, which is true for the truth. For the sincere Hei Luomi, it is actually a bit unfair.

If Hei Luomi still didn't understand, Erxi even planned to pretend that there was no such thing, and he would just try to enlighten the other party in another way.But after that person experienced the initial hesitation and doubt, his expression finally changed.

"You agreed?" He looked at Erxi in disbelief, and a small light began to flicker in the originally dull black eyes.

"You, you promised...to accept me?"

"I just said try it," said Ersie quickly.

"really?"

Hei Luomi felt like he was in a dream, and he even quickly looked around to make sure that he was not in an illusion.

"Really... is it really okay?" The heart beat faster and faster, so fast that Hei Luomi almost had difficulty breathing, but he didn't dare to look away at all, and he didn't even dare to blink. If this was a dream...he would rather Never wake up.

Ersie felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by the man's increasingly burning eyes. He turned his head and muttered in a low voice.

"Does it still matter if I say 'no' now?"

"It's useless, because I already believed it."

In the next second, Erxi felt that he was being hugged tightly by someone. His body stiffened for a moment, but in the end he suppressed the urge to push the other person away, and after a moment of hesitation, he reached out and hugged the other person gently. .

"Don't be too happy, if you don't become the Holy Son, then don't talk about it."

The man's chuckle could be heard next to his ear, and Ersie's skin felt numb due to the scorching breath on his neck.

"Teacher, just wait and see." The man's voice finally became firm and confident again, without any hesitation or confusion, "I will definitely become the Son of God."

Ersie said nothing, but blinked slightly.

He thought, probably this person's embrace was too warm, so warm that his brain began to lose its clarity.The trace of regret and hesitation just now disappeared completely like ice melting and snow melting.He suddenly remembered what Lilia had said——

【Like...is a kind of feeling that people feel very warm and happy, like a plum in their mouth, which makes you feel sour and sweet, but very satisfying. 】

Does he like Hei Luomi?

In fact, he still has some doubts and is not completely sure.

But at least he knew - being hugged tightly by the other person at this moment, feeling the unmistakable and unusually strong love from that person, he no longer felt panic and distress, and only had an unusually peaceful peace and tranquility in his heart.

Perhaps, this in itself is a belated hug.It was too late, he missed it once, and now... just let what should have happened finally happen as expected.

I don't know how it started, and I don't know who took the initiative first. When Erxi felt the moist softness between his lips, this time, he finally didn't refuse, but exerted a little force, and gave the other party an affirmative response .

Perhaps, he didn't need to think too much, just as he believes that fate is irresistible, then all of this may also be predestined in the dark.At this moment, he can abandon all troubles and just obey his own heart.He has been ups and downs in the eternal reincarnation for too long, thousands of years of time have remained unchanged, just a short day of presumptuousness and wantonness, maybe...

——Not so unforgivable.

***

In a valley in the Holy Light Secret Realm, under layers of dense forests.

"They have already met." Putting the slender shadow worm into the black fingers, the Lich King turned his head and glanced at the person behind him, a playful smile flashed in the strange-colored pupils, "And... They seem to have a good relationship."

I thought there would be a bit of concern or annoyance on the face of the person opposite, but that person just nodded expressionlessly, his voice still calm and indifferent.

"Well, then we should start preparing."

The Lich King raised his eyebrows and asked unwillingly: "Don't you want to hear a more detailed report? Don't you like that demon named Erxi?"

The man's icy eyes shot over immediately, like a stern warning.

"I'm seriously thinking about the next task." The Lich King pretended not to notice the other party's dissatisfaction, and said with a smile, "The relationship between the two has progressed. Isn't it more difficult for us to start? If necessary, I will Don’t mind provoking me, I’m still very good at this.”

"It's not necessary." The man said lightly, "Just do what you should do. As for the two of them... no matter how close they are now, it doesn't matter, because...they will see each other soon Not to each other."
