Join the Great Wall Guard

Chapter 267 Lan's Past
The boy code-named "Lan" seemed destined to be a lonely person from the moment he was born.

He has never seen the appearance of his relatives, nor has he ever known the taste of so-called emotion.The only thing he knows is that in his natural blood, there is a cold and lonely blood, and the power that is just around the corner at that time——this is an indelible mark.

Because he has never communicated with others, and because there is a terrifying power in his body that is beyond ordinary people and makes others fear, Lan has become a "heterogeneous" in the eyes of others, and even people of the same clan will reject him. .

Among the childhood memories, the only thing that Lan can recall vividly is that in the raging flames of war, in order to protect his companions and villagers, Lan awakened the power of magic in his body and wiped out the vicious enemies. All killed.

However, the power awakened to protect others did not bring respect and cheers to Lan. On the contrary, the villagers became more and more afraid of the power in Lan's body, calling it "the power of disaster", and at the same time believed that Lan was the one who brought the village. The person who came to the ominous omen.

Lan will still choose to use his own power to protect those weak and lonely people who are worthy of protection. There is still a ray of light in his hazy and lonely heart, but his name as a "monster" has already been passed on by word of mouth among the villagers. Lan guarded them, and they still looked at him with terrified eyes, avoided seeing him, and constantly isolated and alienated him.

In the end, Lan was exiled by the villagers to a barren land, and he himself didn't have any complaints, but chose to accept it silently.

Perhaps, I am a monster, a lonely monster, no one is worthy of my protection, and I will never be treated kindly.

Being homeless and having no one to rely on, even my own heart was gradually wiped out in self-doubt and fell into the darkness.

When he abandoned all other beliefs for the sake of survival and was discovered by the hero Cao Cao in the purgatory of death, Lan became one of the many killers Cao Cao trained.

In order to survive, Lan had to kill other orphans adopted by Cao Cao and became the only survivor.After that, Lan was reused by Cao Cao, and under Xiahou Dun's teaching, he learned the Shuofeng Dao technique and his own original set of assassination skills.

Self-proclaimed "Shark Hunting Blade", travels alone, hunting in the dark.Lan can transform into a bloody shark by virtue of her magic power to hunt the prey that is selected as the target.

There is no sympathy for anyone, Han Che's eyes and heart, is this revenge for the cold eyes he once suffered?
Maybe it is, Lan has no meaning in life in his eyes, in his opinion, taking the lives of those prey is as unworthy of sympathy as crushing ants to death.

Since he is a monster, he should carry out the monster's creed until he dies. Anyway, he will finally die one day.

However, even under the cold and neat appearance, and behind the sharp and bloody blade, there is a lonely heart sealed in darkness.

No one can get close to Lan, and he doesn't want to get close to anyone.

No amount of blood and soul can fill the emptiness in his heart, it will only plunge Lan into the abyss of hell, that's all.

However, just when Lan thought that he would eventually face death and despair alone in loneliness and darkness, a sudden mission completely changed the trajectory of his life.

The mission of chasing Yuxi is a little girl named Cai Wenji.

At the beginning, the mission went very smoothly, but in the end there was an unexpected mistake——Lan was not only injured, but also drifted to an isolated island with the target Cai Wenji.

When she sank into the sea, Lan almost lost consciousness.

In the darkness, he saw the undead that he had killed in the past, constantly entangled him—the distance between sin and death was only one step away, and Lan saw himself sinking into the boundless hell with his own eyes. One last bit of awareness.
Pain came from the wound, and Lan slowly woke up from the darkness. He originally thought that he would sink in the endless sea, but at this moment he was lying on a sandy beach.

Opening his eyes silently, he found a young figure bandaging his wound.

Cai Wenji didn't realize that Lan had woken up, let alone that Lan was staring at her coldly with hunting eyes, she just hummed a brisk ditty, her face like a porcelain doll, carefree, like a calm lake, Can't feel any waves that will happen.

The wound was quickly bandaged, and Cai Wenji put her weak fingers on the gauze again, and saw green fluorescent lights surging between her palms, Lan felt a warm force flowing into the wound, and immediately , Miraculously no more pain.

However, Cai Wenji's face turned a little pale, and after the green fluorescence dissipated, she fell down in a daze.

"why."

Lan stood up suddenly, and at the same time pulled out the dagger from his waist, pointing the sharp blade at Cai Wenji's head, as if it would stab mercilessly at any moment.

Cai Wenji was his goal, as long as he took the jade seal on her body, she would be meaningless.

However, he hesitated for the first time.

For some reason, there is always a subconscious mind in my heart, firmly grasping Lan's hand, not letting the dagger in his hand fall.

Perhaps, it was because she saved herself?

Or.
In short, Lan silently retracted the dagger, and came to the endless ocean, the fluctuation in his heart was no less than the surging tide.

Maybe one day, I will regret this hesitation.

In order to escape from this isolated island, Lan kept searching for available materials everywhere on the island, and he planned to build a sailboat by himself.

This skill was learned by Zeng when he was a child without a teacher, so it went very smoothly.

However, in one person's actions, there is another petite figure.

At first, Cai Wenji just hid behind stones or trees, observed Lan secretly, and kept a certain distance from him.

Because Lan's body exuded a chill from the bottom of his body, which made Cai Wenji feel a little scared.

Of course, Lan knew Cai Wenji's gaze clearly, but he never said a word, nor paid attention to her. He just built the sailboat silently.

The night fell quickly, and the evening wind was a little cold and a little weird.

Lan has long been used to the darkness and loneliness. He set up a bonfire alone, and easily caught fish from the sea as food for tonight.

The fish was put on the bonfire, and the warm flames quickly produced a mouth-watering aroma.Sensing the heat of his gaze, Lan looked back silently, and with the brightness of the bonfire, saw the small body that hurriedly buried its head behind the stone.

"."

Lan remained silent and looked at her stomach at the same time.

Although there is a feeling of hunger, it is not to the point of starving to death.

During Cao Cao's training, Lan had tasted the feeling of starving to death, which was much more unbearable than now.

That little guy must be hungry, right?

Lan picked up the grilled fish from the bonfire. He had already become indifferent to the smell of the food and would not arouse his appetite.

"."

Still without saying a word, Lan picked out the cleanest stone, put the fish on it, and silently waited for the petite figure to appear.

"Can I eat?"

Cai Wenji poked out her small head tremblingly from behind the stone, her soft and delicate face made people want to pinch it.

She was already so hungry that her stomach growled, and Lan's grilled fish attracted all the attention.

The ignorant and innocent big eyes looked at Lan pitifully, waiting for his permission.

"Ah."

This was the first sentence Lan said to Cai Wenji. Although it was only a short word, it was a turning point.

Cai Wenji's eyes were filled with a special light.

This kind of light was something Lan had never seen before.

However, as soon as I saw it, I felt a different feeling in my heart.This feeling is the first time I have experienced it after more than ten years of loneliness and coldness.

Cai Wenji was more innocent and lively than Lan had imagined.

She didn't seem to be aware of Lan's identity, and only after such a brief exchange for the first time, she began to approach him.

Although Lan often chooses to ignore Cai Wenji and only concentrate on completing the things in his hands, Cai Wenji has become his follower. No matter where he goes, Cai Wenji will follow.

When Lan was collecting materials, Cai Wenji would also follow her to collect materials, but with her extremely petite stature, she couldn't move anything except picking up some useless branches and stones.However, Lan did not throw away the things Cai Wenji had picked up, but silently piled them aside.

On rainy days, Cai Wenji would find a big lotus leaf and stay beside Lan, protecting him from the rain, watching his every move quietly.

Cai Wenji's original fears and worries were completely eliminated as she got along with Lan.Lan became Cai Wenji's friend, although it was only one-sided, but Lan did not deny it.

"My name is Cai Wenji, what's your name?"

"Lan"

"Can you sing?"

"."

"Can you weave a wreath?"

"."

"Why don't you always talk, it's so boring to be the only one talking, woo woo."

"."

While building the sailboat, she had to bear all kinds of strange and girlish problems of Cai Wenji, but unexpectedly, Lan didn't feel any discomfort or irritability.

On the contrary, the dullness and tediousness of building a sailboat is also filled with a burst of joy under the company of Cai Wenji.

Although he is still not used to communicating with others, Lan does not reject this feeling, and he quite enjoys this atmosphere.

People who are used to the darkness will always pay special attention to the light that suddenly appears around them; it is like a heart that has been dusty and numb for a long time, and will always be caught off guard by the sudden warmth, and will be redeemed.
Cai Wenji is carefree. Apart from sticking to Lan's side every day and occasionally singing with a lovely voice, she also likes to collect those colorful flowers.

"This flower is for Lan's friend, and this flower is for Wen Ji, wow, it's a good match!"

Inserting the little flower in Lan's somewhat messy hair, Cai Wenji giggled, and in the smile was the innocence and innocence that made Lan feel warm.

As for Cai Wenji's token, Lan silently accepted it. Although there was no special expression on his face, there was warmth in his heart, melting the cold ice.

Do you have any friends yourself?
Friendship is such a beautiful word.

At some point, the killer who was supposed to be a ruthless killer was able to raise a slight smile from time to time. Although the smile was a bit ferocious, it was still possible for people to see the gentleness behind that ferociousness.

Lan was even a little bit reluctant in his heart, he didn't want to part with Cai Wenji.

However, unexpected days always strike suddenly when they are most caught off guard.

Cao Cao and his subordinate Sima Yi learned of the location of Lan and Cai Wenji from nowhere. When Lan found out, they had already landed on the shore, and they were chasing and killing Cai Wenji who had fled.

"Keng!"

When facing swords with Cao Cao, Sima Yi and others, Lan's determination had his own choice for the first time.

The long-closed heart door was opened, and there was a little girl named Cai Wenji, and an emotion called friendship.

Although I know that my hands are covered with blood and sins, and I am no longer qualified to pursue those beautiful things, but even if I have no future, I still have to protect the future of another person.

This determination made Lan's magic power stronger and stronger, allowing him to rescue Cai Wenji from the hands of Cao Cao and others.

However, his own chest was also pierced by Cao Cao's blade.

Are you finally about to face death?

I have always taken the lives of others, and I never expected that my own life would be taken away by others today.

But what's so scary about death, it's just that it's colder.

but
What about Cai Wenji?

The little girl who lay on her body, even though her pure clothes were covered with her dirty blood, she still couldn't make a sound, begging herself not to die
Could he no longer protect her?
"I don't want to lose her again. She is everything in the afterglow of my life. Even if I will die of sin one day in the future, I have nothing else to ask for. I only hope that that innocent little girl can get her own future."

Lan's voice was a little trembling, and there was a trace of crystal movement in his originally indifferent eyes.

"Cao Cao has the power of the blood clan, and there are countless assassins under his command. I am definitely no match for me alone."

"So, can I ask you to help me fulfill my last wish? Even after this, my life will belong to you."

Lan actually knelt down on the ground, which made Lu Yu startled.

"Hey, there is gold under the man's knees, how can you just kneel?"

After listening to Lan's story about the past, Lu Yu was a little surprised.

He actually had a relationship with Cai Wenji.

However, the more emotional feeling is that because of Cai Wenji, Lan has obtained unprecedented salvation, and people in the dark have found their own light.

Looking at Lan who was kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, Lu Yu was a little tangled.

"Ding! Help Lan find Cai Wenji and reward Shark Dagger*1!"

When Lu Yu was struggling, the voice of the system rang in his mind.
