Chapter 58 Answers
"Boy. Do you remember why I, the cannibal owl, came to this tree?"
The cannibal owl! Is the person who talks to him near him now a cannibal owl? When he heard these three words, Lu Lie vaguely felt something big would happen next. He couldn't help but prick up his ears and listened carefully to every word the other party said next.
Unfortunately, I don’t know why, and I can’t move at all. Otherwise, Lu Lie really wanted to look back and see if the guy named Cannibal Owl looked exactly the same as the appearance in his memory.
But after the other party's voice calmed down, Lu Lie heard another voice sounding: "Of course I remember. From the first day you met us, you told us that it was to find the son who ran to the tree and eventually disappeared many years ago... It was really ridiculous to say that Su Wen and I both concealed our purpose, but Li Yuan simply didn't say that Yang Wei was already a dead person at that time but he didn't know. It was you, who was telling the truth. But none of us here believed it."
Yang Wei, Su Wen, and Li Yuan, these familiar names appeared in my ears one by one. And the sealed history deep in my memory was like a thunderous beast, constantly trying to break free from my mind and tell myself all the secrets.
And the voice that said this was exactly his own. Lu Lie can be said to be very sure of this. It has been almost ten years. At that time, he was still a child, and his voice was a little immature and immature. But no matter what, he could tell that the voice was his own.
Wait a minute...Well, Li Yuan?
Lu Lie's temple began to jump wildly.
I remembered that name that I could not remember anyway, wasn’t the person who was most important to me on the journey to the Giant Tree?
Who is he? What did he do with himself? Why among so many people on the giant tree, I only have the deepest impression of him? And why can't I remember his name alone?
Thousands of thoughts flowed into Lu Lie's mind. He felt his brain burning. The severe pain could make people crazy. He wanted to scream and roar, but he held it back. Because, this was probably the last chance to remember his memories, and he must not miss it... he must not destroy... all this...
The voice of the man who was called the cannibal owl rang in his ears again: "I have figured it out now. So many years have passed, just like Santou said in the Mysterious City. If my son still lived in this world, he would have been alienated by the giant tree and turned into a monster. What else can he look for?
But his voice was filled with sadness and helplessness. It was ridiculous and lamentable that I was at that time, and I thought he was saying this to him in a teasing tone.
Lu Lie's body lightened, and he felt someone pulling him up and signaling himself to walk up the tree: "Go, just climb up. I am here to guard you. Those zombies come here, I can kill one of them, and I can delay you a little time."
Lu Lie's vision changed again, and his eyes fell into darkness again. But the moment before he woke up from the empty memory, he heard the old voice disillusioned in the darkness and sighed: "If my son had stayed on land and had not come to this ghost place, he should be three or four years older than you now."
The voice was spoken to himself.
...
The memories end here.
When Lu Lie opened his eyes again and returned to the outside of Fenghuo City, everything around him still had not changed. The soldiers in the distance were cleaning the battlefield, and the prisoner, who was called Sun Xiao, was still standing in front of him, quietly waiting for him to ask him the next question.
When Lu Lie came to his senses and looked at Sun Xiao again, he found that there was indeed a shadow of his father between his eyebrows and eyes.
"Are you the son of the cannibal owl?" Although he had known the answer, Lu Lie confirmed it again.
In response to this, Sun Xiao also replied without hesitation: "Sun Daoban is my father, a father who is just a fake one."
"That's strange," Lu Lie sneered, sat on the haystack placed by the roadside, and signaled the other party to sit down together, "Why do I remember the cannibal owl said that his son had climbed the giant tree first and never came down again after that? If you were also his son, either you came down from the giant tree back then. But let's not talk about how small the probability of such a thing happened. If you really successfully came down from the giant tree back then, then why did the villagers in Zhushi Town have always been sure that I was the only person who came down from the giant tree in hundreds of years? Did they selectively ignore you?"
"Or, the cannibal owl actually had two children?"
Sun Xiao wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Lu Lie made a gesture to stop him, "Don't talk first, I'll ask you a question, which is the most puzzled thing about me - that is, even if you are the son of the cannibal owl, even if you really came down from the giant tree alive. But, I would like to ask you, I have never met you before, and I only learned through your father that there is the existence of you, the person in this world. After your father met me, you were separated from him. How could you hand over my name when you first met?"
Speaking of this, a trace of murderous intent appeared in Lu Lie's eyes: "Say! Who sent you here? I guess he called my name at this point? If your answer does not satisfy me next, then I will not just kill you. I promise that it will make you feel so painful that you regret coming out of your womb."
Sun Xiao looked at the setting sun in the distance like blood. After a while, he answered Lu Lie's first question: "Master Lu. First of all, I am really the son of my father Sun Daofang, and Sun Daofang has only me in this world. He does not have any illegitimate sons outside."
Lu Lie's heart began to get nervous, but he was still calm on the surface, and he looked at him with a sarcastic look: "Oh? That's really interesting. I hope you don't tell me that the cannibal owl is still alive and staged a clichéd plot like reunion with you. Then you realized my existence and rushed to Fenghuo City thousands of miles away just to say thank you for such a stupid answer. I am not a three-year-old child."
