Wilster

Suddenly, Vic realized why he was familiar with the building in front of him, because it was the Fang family, and he had brought someone there not long ago.

If there is any illusion in it, it must be aimed at the heart of the practitioner. Vic doesn't think he has any feelings for the Fang family that can be used to make a fuss, so this is... to deal with Gong Lan.

As the angle of view got closer, the anger in Gong Lan's long and narrow eyes became more and more intense.After thinking briefly for a moment, Vic asked, "Will this soul-absorbing box activate any illusions?"

"I don't know." Gong Lan was very cold.

Vic said blankly: "Heartfox is a master of illusion. I heard from her that illusion is either to temporarily confuse the enemy, or to destroy a person's mind. The first step in doing both is to let the The emotions of the practitioners fluctuate and they lose their composure."

This is already a clear reminder to Gong Lan, Gong Lan will not fail to understand, he turned his head and glared at Vic slowly: "Stop talking nonsense, I was implicated by you this time. And your family's soul-absorbing box It’s enough to be deceitful, you and I are here, why should you cast illusions on me?”

Vic smiled bitterly: "Stop shouting, I will apologize to you after I get out."

Gong Lan didn't take offense at him, Victor paused and then asked: "You should be very familiar with this place, but since it's an illusion aimed at you, the next scene should be very important to you, what do you have? Any impression?"

Gong Lan snorted, "You know that, doesn't Master Vic feel like he has to avoid it?"

"I'm afraid this is the scene in the entire soul-absorbing box right now," Vic smiled. "Where can I avoid it?"

Gong Lan couldn't answer this question, so she could only stare at Vic again: "I don't believe that this soul-absorbing box is attached to me. When your phantom appears later, I'll see if you can still laugh."

While speaking, the two had already entered the interior of the building. Vik saw two figures, one was obviously the younger Gong Lan, and the one sitting at the table should be his father, the former leader of the Fang family.

The picture was fixed, and the whole scene seemed to be happening in front of the two of them, and it was not obvious that it was an illusion.

This is not a static picture, but neither of the father and son spoke, they just looked at each other directly.

Vik noticed that Gong Lan closed her eyes and leaned against the wall weakly, as if she didn't want to see the next scene.

"Father..." The young Gong Lan spoke first, "For her, are you going to do this?"

Gong Lan's father smiled softly: "Since it's your father, then I have to do this, and it would be the same for you, you and Gong Shuo are my favorite children."

Vik understood, he remembered what Gong Lan said after being drunk in Xincheng, his father participated in the competition for the secret technique to suppress demons in order to save Gong Shuo, this should be a conversation before leaving.

The young Gong Lan gritted her teeth lightly, and squeezed out three words between her teeth: "She is not worthy!"

"Don't say that," Gong Lan's father looked at his son, "Bringing you into this world, as a father, I should have given you the best. I'm sorry that I don't have that strength, but as a family I'm not very competent as a leader, but no matter what, I can't watch my child die. Your sister... oh, let's not talk about it, anyway, I've made up my mind to go."

"Father came to me today just to say goodbye?" Seeing that she couldn't dissuade her father, Gong Lan was still a bit petty, but she was startled by her father's next words.

"Gong Lan, from today onwards, you should temporarily leave the family."

"Father?!" Gong Lan was extremely surprised, why did his father say such a thing?

His father gave a wry smile: "Secret arts are present in the world, and there has never been a small family. Silence is a very powerful sealing art. I am afraid that all the big families will have it in their pockets. I am afraid that no matter what the result is when I go this time. There are many dangers, and it is possible to implicate the family. But you are innocent and should not be implicated by this incident, so...you leave for the time being, and come back if the family is safe and sound, in case something happens...just Don't come back, and create the glory of the family by yourself."

This was the truth at the beginning, why Gong Lan defected from the family, now Vic has seen a clearer answer.

Gong Lan beside him still had his eyes closed, as if he didn't hear anything about it.Vic couldn't help thinking, thinking about it, it seemed that the illusion in the soul-absorbing box should be some memories that the practitioner didn't want to mention, so would he have his own?

The young Gong Lan over there was already in a hurry, even though he knew it was the safest way, but let him leave the family he loves most and watch his father die, how could he do it?

"Father," the young Gong Lan looked at her father, "If something happens to you, even if the family is safe and sound, even if Gong Shuo survives, I will never come back after I leave."

This was the only excuse Gong Lan could think of at the time. Gong Shuo himself was useless, so what if he died, why did he implicate his father and family, why did he let himself leave under the name of a traitor?

"Gong Lan." Although his father also had a look of resentment, but his eyes remained firm, "Your sister's life, at least with me, cannot be left to fate. You are the boy in the family and the future leader of the Fangfang family. Perhaps now It is cruel for you to say this, but you have to shoulder the future of the family."

Gong Lan knelt down in front of her father: "Father, I don't want to hear these words at all. If you die, I don't know what will happen to me."

There was a momentary silence in the room. I don't know how long it lasted. Vik saw Gong Lan's father finally said: "No matter what you want to do, you will live. What I want to do is to make your sister live too. That's all."

The young Gong Lan had tears in his eyes. Even though it sounded unfair to him, he couldn't hold any hatred towards his father in his heart. Perhaps it was because of such a father that he was attracted to the weak Fangfang family. Proud.

However, anger and grievances always have someone to pour out on, and Gong Lan blamed everything on Gong Shuo.Yes, she should be blamed, the weak are not qualified to live, and the weak cannot forgive.

"Don't cry, Gong Lan." His father got up and went to help him, barely showing a smile, "Come out with me, get out of the family, and then you and I will split up. Don't be too pessimistic, although your father and I The strength is not very good, but it may not necessarily die."

Gong Lan looked at him tearfully: "Father...you must come back alive."

He got a positive nod: "OK, Dad promises you."

The father and son passed through Vic's body, who was blocking the door, and there was a dead silence in the room after leaving.

What happened later, Vik knew that the leader of the Fangfang family really got the Silencer secretly and sent him back to the family, but he failed to fulfill his last promise to Gong Lan.Maybe it was an accident, maybe he wanted to use his own death to conceal the whereabouts of Mo Mo, but it just didn't happen.

Vik hardly dared to think about how Gong Lan felt when he heard the news of his father's death.And later, when he mastered the resurrection technique, but still couldn't resurrect his father, how sad he must have been.

Even with his eyes closed, Gong Lan could still know that Vic's eyes were fixed on him all the time. In fact, he didn't need to look at this phantom at all, because the picture had already been firmly engraved in his dreams every night.It's just that someone else suddenly saw the softest part of her heart, and that person was Vic, so Gong Lan was a little afraid to open her eyes to look at him.

But Vic's eyes were burning like fire, Gong Lan had to control her emotions, and said in a nonchalant tone: "Master Vic keeps looking at me, thinks I'm pitiful and wants to say some words of comfort? There's no need, I... ..."

Before Gong Lan finished speaking, she was pulled into an embrace. He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Vic's pair of different pupils close at hand.

Gong Lan forgot to struggle. From this moment on, a subtle change has taken place somewhere in his heart, which is different from before.

"I didn't want to comfort you," Vic said softly, "everyone has something to do in life, everyone is the same, and your father has already done it. I just envy you for having a good father. "

"I would rather him be a little more useless, even if he stays with me and does nothing, waiting for my protection. I don't want him to die with a bad or good name."

Gong Lan's voice was also very soft, and she kept her eyes closed when she spoke, as if she was trying to avoid something.

The two of them maintained this action for a long time. Seeing that Vic didn't seem to be planning to let go, Gong Lan finally couldn't hold back any longer. She opened her eyes and stared at Vic: "It's not over, is it?"

Vic let him go with a chuckle, he didn't know what happened to him just now, why he couldn't help but want to hug Gong Lan, he changed the subject: "After leaving the Fang Fang family, what have you experienced these years? ?”

Gong Lan's expression has completely returned to the original, and she sneered before saying anything: "It's better than you imagined, I have traveled a lot, met many people, and seen many things. Although most things in this world are It's so boring, but it still gave me an idea, you know what it is?"

Vic shook his head, as he would, whether he knew it or not.

"If you want to live, you must step on everyone." Gong Lan looked at Vik provocatively, "Master Vic must have a deep understanding of this point, right? After all, you are too weak, otherwise you will be killed." How dare Wilster do anything to you after losing his elder brother?"

Vic didn't care much about such offensive remarks, he just smiled and said, "This is probably contrary to your father's thinking."

Gong Lan snorted: "Even if it's my father, I don't agree with some of his ideas. Only when you become the highest god, no one will dare to hurt you."

Then without waiting for Vik to respond, Gong Lan continued: "Even if I have traveled all over the world, what I have seen and heard has only made me more determined. I have seen too much pain, too much pain. Too much involuntary, too much helplessness, the root of all these problems is because of weakness."

"Did you also learn the resurrection technique at that time?" Vic asked suddenly.

Gong Lan froze for a moment, then nodded: "It can only be said to be a coincidence. It is called the technique of no evil, and the restrictions on performing the technique are very simple. You only need a complete corpse. But my father didn't even have a complete corpse. There are none left, and a person can only use the No Evil Technique once in a lifetime, and there is no chance to revive the person I want to resurrect."

"In the end you chose Abe?" Although it was a question, Vik's tone was very firm.

Gong Lan nodded: "If I can't get what I want most, I can only settle for the next best thing. Reviving someone who is capable of helping me, the Cthulhu of Light who became famous in the early years is indeed a good choice. But Abe Although that man is capable, but... old is old, even if he is resurrected with the face of his youth, his mind is still rotten like coffin soil."

Vic couldn't help but smile, Gong Lan is a typical person who scolds the cook when he's full, and he didn't beg you to be resurrected, and it's not like you didn't have a plan to resurrect him, so what's there to hate at this moment?

At this moment, the surrounding scenes changed rapidly again, and after calming down again, it was Vic's turn to be restless.

This is a dilapidated small courtyard, and it is also a scene that often appears in Vic's nightmares.

This time it wasn't like just now, a woman roared angrily at the beginning: "Why are you so weak? Why can't you even control such a simple ability?!"

Gong Lan looked at the two figures ahead, a child of seven or eight years old, and a woman with disheveled hair who looked like a lunatic.Even though the child was still young, Gong Lan could tell from his one red and one blue eyes that it was Vic who hadn't run away.

After thinking about it, Gong Lan looked at Vic gloatingly: "This is...you and your mother?"

Vic didn't answer or nod, but looked at the scene in front of him with a livid face.

This is the last childhood memory he doesn't want to mention, that crazy woman is his mother, Baihu.

After the white fox yelled and cursed for a while, he seemed puzzled, and slapped Vic a few times. Vic was sobbing and apologized, his eyes were full of grievances and weakness.

Gong Lan originally had an expression of looking forward to the show, but as Tianhu's attacks became more and more ruthless, for some reason he couldn't stand it anymore.Before Vic said that his mother was very strict with him, Gong Lan did not expect to reach this point. Perhaps, what Vic said just now was sincere, and he really envied Gong Lan's father.Because neither father nor mother had ever made Vic feel love.

"Okay, if you don't like watching it, don't watch it," Gong Lan gently pushed Vic, "What are you staring at like a masochist?"

Vic slowly closed his eyes, and the appearance of him and Gong Lan seemed to be reversed from just now.

Over there, after the white fox beat Vic, he held him in his arms as if he regretted it, and kept saying things like "You are the son of me and the leader of Wilster", "Talent must be fine" and so on. if.

Gong Lan didn't bother to read it, and asked Vic casually, "Don't you and your mother live in Wilster? Why were you suddenly expelled?"

Vik didn't respond with a gloomy face, Gong Lan clicked his tongue: "Isn't he very talkative when you asked me just now, but when it's your turn, you avoid talking about it?"

No way, after a long silence, Vic replied: "I was still young at that time, and I can't remember clearly. According to my mother, it was because of the jealousy of giving birth to a son that she was slandered and killed Eric's first wife. , and was expelled from Welster."

In Baihu's heart, the culprit who caused him to lose everything was his son, so he loves and hates Vic, and his psychology may have been distorted long ago.

Gong Lan was thoughtful: "Then did she kill the principal?"

Vik shook his head wearily: "I don't know, my mother said she didn't have one, but you have seen her state, she goes crazy from time to time, and she can do anything."

It's really embarrassing to say, before marrying Eric, Baihu was a high-ranking member of the Tianhu Army. There are countless people in the world who want to please her and beg her, but she desperately leaves the organization to marry the man she likes, but in the end... It is such an ending.

Gong Lan asked again: "Then... what happened when Wilster sent people to chase you down?"

Vik didn't think about how to explain this question, but then the scene in front of him changed, and it seemed that it was that night.

At that time, Vic was a little older, and he was still dependent on his mother. Vic remembered that everything was the same as before that night, but he lost his mother who made him depend on and fear forever.

Dozens of Wilster killers surrounded the mother and son, and the white fox looked at them one by one, showing a mocking smile: "Eric really doesn't understand me, neither does he understand me. I don’t even know my strength... do such a small number of people want to kill me?!”

After all, she was one of the founders of the Sky Fox Army. These Wilster people suffered heavy losses under the attack of the white fox, but there are still a few masters still fighting fiercely with her.

Maybe what Gong Lan said just now is true, all the suffering in this world is caused by weakness.At that time, Vic was young and weak. Although the white fox was a master, he was outnumbered by one opponent. Moreover, she drank her worries all day long in the past few years, and her health was no longer as good as before.

Not long after the battle, the white fox was pierced through the heart by a wind blade. Although she would not be killed immediately, it would not last long.With the last of his strength, the white fox used the space power to escape with Vic.

The next picture was not released, but Vic recalled it in his heart.His mother took his hand and uttered those vicious words with the last breath of her life. Even if she died, she would impose the most unwilling and vicious ideas on Vic.

The screen disappeared completely at this point, Gong Lan hesitated and asked: "Your mother..."

"died."

Perhaps because there were too many knives in his heart, Vik couldn't feel the pain anymore, and then said to Gong Lan: "Not long after my mother died, Xinhu came forward and took me into the Tianhu Army, where I trained After a few years, she finally took over the control of the Sky Fox Army from her. Not long after that, Wilster sent an envoy to pick me up."

Gong Lan couldn't help but sneer: "Eric is really good enough to make the best use of everything."

Vic nodded wearily: "In his eyes, there seems to be nothing that cannot be used. Marry if you have value, kill if you don't have value, and you can still bring back a wild son if you are famous. It's a matter of course."

Although Gong Lan was not ashamed of Eric's behavior, but as an outsider, she was more sober after all, and immediately realized something was wrong, frowning and said: "But, he is a famous old fox, what do you think of him? Is it impossible not to guess that you are still trying to use your Tianhu Army? And what happened back then, whether it was your mother who killed the main house or Eric sent someone to kill your mother, it was a mess. Are you sure someone didn’t Get in the way?"

Vic nodded: "I thought so too, but Eric has always been the one to plot against others, who has the ability to plot against him? And he never explained all this, it's his tacit fact."

Gong Lan thought about it for the same reason, and chuckled: "The grievances and hatreds of the big family are really wonderful."

Vic glanced at him: "Why didn't I see you so excited just now, and you like to add insult to injury so much?"

Gong Lan seldom saw Vic's deflated appearance, and she was very happy: "Don't be so out of touch, Master Vic, although you and I didn't do it voluntarily, we have seen each other's secret anyway, so we can't pretend we don't care Does it look like?"

Vic followed suit with a smile, suddenly, he seemed to get some inspiration from Gong Lan's words.

"Speaking of..." Vic said while thinking, "When I was attacked by the soul-absorbing box, I found that I could resist to a certain extent with the power of the spirit system. The hallucinations before and just now also showed that the inside of the soul-absorbing box There is a mental attack. If this is caused by the core of the soul-absorbing box, or the inner magic circle, then on the other hand, can you get out if you destroy it?"

Gong Lan is not a psychic power user, and he half understands what Vik said, but he knows one thing, that is, it is possible to get out, so he nodded immediately: "It makes sense, it makes sense, let's try."
