Chapter 905 I'm sorry, my child...
Shao Yun looked at Yuan Shang's pitiful appearance. Although he felt helpless, he still chose to believe him.
Given Yuanshang's character, he shouldn't be confused about such an important matter.
Moreover, even the silver coins in his hand could not summon the Apocalypse Horse "Death", let alone Yuan Shang.
However, if the apocalypse horse "Death" cannot be tamed, Nata will also be doomed! !
“That’s it…” Shao Yun’s face was filled with worry, and he muttered, “The Kingdom of Night God is so big, where can I find that damn Apocalypse Horse…”
At this moment, a prompt message suddenly popped up from the system, giving Shao Yun some guidance.
[The Apocalypse Horse 'Death' will not be attracted by the sound of silver coins. 】
[Just as the wounded attract plague, fierce battles attract war, and barren land attracts famine.]
Shao Yun seemed to understand something and said to the system: "So, I need to die in order to attract the Apocalypse Horse 'Death', is that what you mean?"
The system did not respond, but just quietly displayed the prompt message.
Shao Yun felt a headache and was overwhelmed. Where in the Kingdom of the Night God could he find someone to cause death?
"Then how should I create death? Should I kill Yuan Shang? No, no, he is a very kind person, I can't do it..."
"He changed my daughter's diapers and made her milk powder. I can't kill him just for saving Nata!"
The system immediately popped up a new prompt, denying Shao Yun's idea.
[Yuan Shang is a monster from the abyss, and has an immortal curse on him. Even if you kill him, he will return to the earth veins, and it will be useless.]
Shao Yun looked at the system prompt and became even more distressed.
"Then should I commit suicide? I won't sacrifice myself to save Nata! I'm not here to be the Messiah! This is putting the cart before the horse!"
……
Just as Shao Yun was discussing with the system how to call for the "death" of Apocalypse Horse, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure looming on the top of the cliff not far away.
Although the figure was a little blurry, Shao Yun felt it was extremely familiar.
He couldn't help but squint his eyes and look carefully.
As he observed, the figure gradually became clearer, and Shao Yun blurted out: "Dachi?"
Yuanshang, who was beside Shao Yun, heard his cry and looked in the direction he was looking. He saw a person standing on the top of the cliff in the distance.
The man was wearing tattered clothes, had a haggard face and looked quite downcast.
Yuan Shang asked in confusion: "Who is that guy?"
Shao Yun pointed at the man on the top of the cliff and said in a deep voice: "I saw the 'old friend' transformed from the abyss. He was looking at me there."
Yuan Shang scratched his head and asked in confusion: "What should we do now? Should we go over and say hello?"
Shao Yun shook his head, as if he already had a plan in mind.
He looked at Dutch standing on the cliff, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You should step down first. I think I need to talk to it alone..."
……
Shao Yun took a detour, walked slowly up the gentle slope on the other side, and finally arrived at the cliff.
He looked at Dutch standing by the cliff, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly: "Dachi..."
Dachi stood beside the cliff, motionless, as if he didn't hear Shao Yun's call.
After a while, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Shao Yun out of the corner of his eye, then quickly turned his head back, continued to face Shao Yun, and said coldly:
"You are not him, why didn't you kill me when I was stunned?"
Shao Yun took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. He said slowly, "I just want to talk to you."
Dutch sneered and taunted, "What do you want to talk about?"
Shao Yun was not affected by Daqi's attitude and replied calmly: "Let's talk about how it feels to see each other again."
Hearing this, Dutch's body shook slightly.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, looked at the sky of the Kingdom of Night God with melancholy, and said with emotion:
"After meeting you, I realized that I missed Hosea and his wisdom... If he were still here, nothing would have come to this."
When Shao Yun heard that Dutch still missed Hosea so much, he couldn't help feeling sad.
He also missed Hosea, the man who always gave the wisest advice at critical moments.
Shao Yun empathized and said, "Me too, but this is how it happened. It was unexpected."
When Daqi heard Shao Yun say the word "unexpected", his heart suddenly tightened and his right hand unconsciously clenched the semi-automatic pistol.
His voice was deep as he asked, "So, are you here to kill me?"
Shao Yun stood quietly behind Dachi, his eyes fixed on Dachi's back.
After a while, Shao Yun finally spoke.
"I never shot you from the beginning to the end, but it was not my intention for things to develop to this point."
Dutch turned around slowly, his hands trembling slightly due to nervousness, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Shao Yun as he moved.
His voice trembled a little, as if he was trying to hide his inner fear and anxiety.
"So, are you going to betray me like John did?"
Shao Yun shook his head and pointed out what was in Dachi's heart.
"It is true that someone betrayed you, but that person was you! You betrayed yourself!"
After saying this, Shao Yun slowly reached into his backpack with his right hand and took out Dutch van der Linde's Schofield revolver.
Shao Yun held the revolver in front of him by the barrel and asked, "Remember this?"
Dutch's eyes fell on the revolver and his expression moved slightly.
His voice became a little hoarse as he said, "My revolver. I remember I... threw it away."
Shao Yun held the gun handle with his backhand expressionless, pointed the black muzzle directly at Daqi, and said sarcastically:
"You dropped your weapons, you changed your clothes, you abandoned your horse 'Earl'. You are corrupted!"
Dutch opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but no sound came out.
Shao Yun continued, "If the chivalrous and righteous you, the chivalrous Robin Hood, saw you now, what do you think he would say? You should know what he would do!"
As Shao Yun spoke, in Dutch's eyes, Shao Yun's figure gradually blurred, and was replaced by the "gang leader" outfit he used to wear.
Even the other person has become the same person he was before.
Dutch's eyes became confused and he began to deceive himself.
"You, no, this is not real! I'm in hell, right? You are the devil incarnate!"
Shao Yun looked at Dutch, whose mind was beginning to become dazed, and took a step forward, still pointing the gun steadily at Dutch, and continued to ask questions.
"Maybe this is hell, but if your past self saw your present self, what do you think he would do?"
At this moment, Daqi thought of his past self. At that time, he was full of vigor and ambition, but now he has become so miserable and has no bottom line...
"He will definitely kill me without hesitation..." Dutch muttered to himself, "Even I myself deeply despise the me now..."
However, at this moment, Dutch slowly lowered the gun that had been pointing at Shao Yun, and his originally tense body gradually relaxed.
Daqi's eyes were somewhat empty, and he looked at Shao Yun in despair, and asked softly: "What do you want to do, my child?"
Shao Yun did not directly answer Dachi's question, but mentioned something he had said in a tactful way.
"Our time is over..."
This sentence made Dutch stunned, and then he actually laughed.
It was a smile that carried the meaning of being calm in the face of death. Yes, he had seen through everything a long time ago, but he didn't dare to admit it.
"You are right, Arthur, our time has indeed passed..."
After saying that, Dutch dropped the "semi-automatic pistol" in his hand without hesitation.
Then, Dutch seemed to have finally let go of the last stone in his heart, and his eyes became clear and sad.
He stared into Shao Yun's eyes and said slowly: "I'm sorry, my child..."
This was an apology that was long overdue, and Dutch finally said it at this moment.
Shao Yun just looked at him quietly without saying anything.
Finally, Da Qi took a deep breath, and said to Shao Yun with a touch of carefreeness in his sadness: "Now, go and do what you should do..."
Shao Yun raised Dutch van der Linde's revolver with trembling right hand.
Do you really want to kill him? Shao Yun wanted to put down the gun, but...
But in the end, Shao Yun took a deep breath and said, "The person you feel most sorry for is yourself..."
After saying this, Shao Yun's fingers tightly gripped the trigger, his facial muscles were tense, and his lips trembled slightly.
As the bullet pierced through the body of "Dutch van der Linde" who was transformed from the abyss in front of him, Shao Yun turned his head away and did not look.
Now it can be said that the idealistic, Robin Hood-like Dutch van der Linde, at this moment, finally killed the Dutch van der Linde who had fallen into madness or exposed his barbaric nature.
Dutch, who was transformed from the abyss, took a half step back. At this moment, there was a carefree look on his face.
Then, his feet went weak and he missed the rocks on the edge of the cliff. He lost his balance and fell off the cliff.
As he fell, his body gradually dissipated, and before turning into nothingness, Dutch left behind his final words.
"I'm sorry, my child..."
Watching Dutch van der Linde die like this, Shao Yun felt his eyes moisten.
The other party was just an illusion of the abyss, but... Shao Yun felt sincerity from it... and, the belated apology.
Shao Yun wiped the slightly moist corners of his eyes and muttered to himself in a low voice:
"I don't know how to evaluate it, but he expressed the guilt deep in his heart..."
