Chapter 256 Brothers (The End)

After Cantis heard what Feng Bujue said, a stifling, cold gleam flashed through her eyes, but she spoke as softly as she could: “Silly boy… Of course you’re mom’s son… “

“When I learned that I was not human, I made this assumption immediately…” Feng Bujue said, “Now I think… The words on the back of the picture – ‘Arthur and Andrew, my children, my love’, whether seen by me or seen by Arthur, were the same… Isn’t it?”

Feng Bujue looked at the only eyeball of Cantis and lowered his voice: “In fact, what you want is not only his power but also mine. Arthur and I are neither humans nor your children. The only difference is… I am simple and easy to be controlled.” He sneered, “you are really a terrible woman, so sophisticated that I have to admire… “

Fragments flashed before his eyes, and every thread of the information web in his mind became clear, leading him to the final truth.

Feng Bujue stood up and continued, “Arthur said to me twice, ‘my silly brother’. The first time, when we were very young, maybe less than ten years old… He was clearly aware that he was different. He knew he was adopted. I treated him like a brother, trusting and loving him. So, he said that sentence, that is his feeling to his brother.”

He paused for a moment, then added, “And before was the second time Arthur had said that. Followed with ‘you think you’re smart, and this… It’s the price.’ ” He smiled. “At first I thought it was sarcasm from the victor, but as I think it deeply… I found sympathy and helpless in his tone. Why did he call me the silly boy twice?”

At this point, Feng Bujue changed his tone and began to tell the story from the player’s point of view: “Arthur is very clever. There’s no way he can’t find the truth out like me. After his failure, Arthur got the message that Andrew is ‘not a human’, and he naturally followed it up with a series of inferences… I have very limited information, but I can make that assumption as well. Arthur knew a lot more about you than I did, so he soon figured it out… Turns out Andrew wasn’t your kid either.”

Feng Bujue signed, “Perhaps out of pity, or perhaps out of guilt, Arthur decided not to tell his brother the truth, for he knew that Andrew could not bear it. Under your control, Andrew had decided that his brother had deceived him and Arthur is a cruel devil. If Arthur now told him that the so-called mother is actually the one who used him and that he’s just another vessel of strength you kept…”

Feng Bujue pointed to his own face, “For a deceived people, that truth is too cruel.” He shook his head. “Arthur was clear about what to love or hate, but he always kept some leeway for Andrew. He knows the younger brother betrayed him below your instigation, but he did nothing. Although the experiment was over and the truth floated, he still did not kill his brother. At this point, it was all very kind to Arthur to tell me the cure before he left. Besides, he is also thoughtful. He asked me to ask you who Andrew’s biological father was. Oh… It’s a cover-up that Arthur had devised for you so that you could say what Andrew really is without revealing that you are not his mother.”

“You…… You’re not Andrew. Who the hell are you?” Cantis stared at Feng Bujue with surprised eyes.

“I’m the one who came to set you free.” Feng Bujue answered that, and then squat down again to put his hands on the ground, launched the circle he drawn before.

In a flash of blood, energy gushed from the surface of the refining circle.

After a few seconds, the light dissipated and Feng Bujue remained standing. From the view of the scenario, Andrew had returned to his normal appearance, no longer looks like a zombie.

And in front of him, Cantis, who’s in the center of the circle, had also restored the human female appearance. Though her body immediately began to rot with extreme pain…

“Ah! What’s going on? What is this!” Cantis wailed madly, rolling on the ground in pain.

“I have to say, Arthur is also a naive guy.” This moment, Feng Bujue is the one with devil-like expression, “he walked away as if it took away all the evil. But after that? Andrew heals his wounds and helps you heal your human body. Will you live together as a mother and child? After what you’ve been through, are you going to let go of a child who has always thought of you as a mother?”

Feng Bujue stepped back, keeping a distance from the struggling Cantis: “I don’t think that’s possible… If you had any conscience, you would have given your mind upon them when they were very young. In that case… Then, as a teenager, Arthur wouldn’t have done it to you. He’ll take you as a mother as he treated Andrew. He did it, which means you never give up on threaten him… More than ten years, even if you have two dogs, even if the original intention of raising them is to eat their meat, even if the owner is not a woman, you should give up your mind.”

“What do you understand! They are monsters! They deserved that! My husband, my children… were killed by monsters like them!” Cantis roared with her last effort, “what’s wrong with me making these two little monsters pay!” She grinned: “You want me to let them go? Hahaha… Every day, every minute! When I smile at them, when I hug them, when I put them to sleep, I want to peel their skin! These monsters owe me! Isn’t that right I want them to pay me back?”

“Well… Because of your personal hatred, you hated the entire race of opponent, and then grabbed two innocent kids for self-deluded revenge.” Feng Bujue made a summary, “despite your ridiculous logic, you might be objectively right… From the standpoint of humanity, the two brothers are indeed a threat to the world. But again, from a human point of view…”

By the time Cantis was on her deathbed, the rot had spread to her insides, and her eyes were bulging as she looked at an object Feng Bujue took out from his pocket.

“At that time… The family of three unrelated people… All the laughter, the tears, the happiness were not true at all? When you wrote that line in the back of that photo, you really had no attachment to that good old days…?” He paused, “In my opinion, human beings can be crueller than monsters. It’s this twisted world that creates real monsters like you.”

Feng Bujue picked up the comb and put it in front of his eyes. “It’s just a piece of common wood… But it is the bond between brothers that saved Andrew from suffering.” He looked down at Cantis, “but what in the world can save you?”

An empty meadow, a big dark house.

A figure came out of the gate, blond, smudged, his eyes were empty and blank.

Just then the clouds cleared and Andrew saw a small figure standing not far ahead of him on the path in front of the door.

“Bother…” Andrew just called out instinctively, but he didn’t know what to say.

“I was not so sure, so I decided to look around before I left.” Arthur looked still calm. “What happened?”

“I… I killed her, I killed… Mom…” As Andrew spoke, two lines of tears welled up in his eyes. He wiped his face with his sleeve. “She… She’s not my own… “

“Well, I know.” Interrupted Arthur, glancing up and down at his brother. “Are you all right?”

“Yes…” Andrew replied, “but I still don’t know who I am… What monster I am… “

“Monster?” Repeated Arthur, followed by a sneer. “Well… Since that you’ve recovered, it doesn’t matter what you are.” He said, snapping his fingers.

For an instant, the fire was blazing and burnt the big room behind Andrew like a burning match to a huge ball of fire.

“It’s all over…” Arthur heaved and said, “All you have to do is keep the good things in your memory and burn everything else.” He looked at the sky. “Tomorrow the sun will rise, whether you are a devil or a monster. If you are a monster, then you will live as a monster, there’s nothing to be ashamed of.” He paused: “Now, I also have no reason to become a human and have the so-called quiet life…… I want to leave this little place and go out into the world. Do you want to come? Brother.”

“I…” Andrew hesitated for a few seconds. Then he smiled, too. “Well… Two monster brothers with bloody hands, making waves on the Satchi Continent?”

“Sounds good, doesn’t it?” Laughed Arthur.

“Yeah… Brother.” Andrew gave a rare, determined look.

Under the moon, the wind rises.

Two figures, walking side by side in the country road, behind them is the raging fire, burning up the dark past.

The road ahead leads to an unknown future.
