Chapter 136 - Endless Seas 11 (1/2)

Ch136 – Endless Seas 11

When loved ones met again, they should excitedly hug each other and greet each other. However, Yu Hanjiang quickly remembered why he came after the other person. Lu Jiuchuan was a hunter?!

Yu Hanjiang frowned and asked, “When did you come to this world?”’

“Three years ago.”

Yu Hanjiang stared intently into his eyes. “Did you really join the hunter organization?”

Lu Jiuchuan smiled and reached out slender fingers to undo the b.u.t.ton of his s.h.i.+rt. As a soldier, he had always been tall with a strong body.The perfect body texture of the inverted triangle was clear and as the honey chest was gradually revealed, a totem over the heart was revealed!

The strange tattoo was like the devil in the moonlight.

Yu Hanjiang’s pupils shrank. This pattern was the symbol of the Hunter’s League members.

Lu Jiuchuan smiled softly and lowered his voice. “Yes, in order to live, I became a hunter.”

Hearing this, Yu Hanjiang suddenly clenched his fists. He couldn’t believe it as he stared at his respected brother. “Are you crazy? Do you know what hunters do? They are all inhuman, cold-blooded thugs! How can you turn yourself into a killing machine in order to live?!”

Lu Jiuchuan slowly b.u.t.toned up his s.h.i.+rt and spoke lightly. “The rules of this world are different from those of the real world. I was a hero once in reality. Since G.o.d gave me a second life, I have the right to choose to live for myself.

Yu Hanjiang’s sharp eyes stared straight at him. “In order to live, you slaughtered others?”

Lu Jiuchuan laughed. “What do I have to do with the death of others?”

Yu Hanjiang, “…”

The person in front of him was both familiar and strange.

He came to the Card World three years ago. Maybe this abnormal world had gradually dissipated his humanity, destroying his will and his faith. Today’s Lu Jiuchuan was no longer the ‘Brother Jiu’ that Yu Hanjiang knew. He was no longer upright and the soldier of iron who saluted his superiors and decisively said ‘absolutely obey orders!’

Yu Hanjiang closed his eyes and whispered, “Do you really think so?”

Lu Jiuchuan nodded, “I led you over here to tell you that if you want to live in this world for a long time, you have to join the Hunter’s Alliance. All those who want to return to reality through the secret rooms have failed and died.”

Here, his voice revealed a trace of bitter coldness. “Clearing the secret room and returning to the real world is a dream that the keepers made up for you. It doesn’t work at all. Don’t you know that you’re dead already?”

Three years ago, Yu Hanjiang had watched his body being cremated. In reality, Lu Jiuchuan was indeed dead. Were his words true? Challengers still couldn’t go back despite clearing all the secret rooms on the card wall?

Yu Hanjiang’s belief at this moment suffered an unprecedented impact! The facts in front of him showed that Lu Jiuchuan was already a box of ashes in reality. He was buried under the tombstone of the cemetery. How could the keeper say to ‘go back’? Could Lu Jiuchuan turn the ashes into a person again after pa.s.sing the SS-grade secret room?

He had always believed in the words of the keepers but what if the keepers were deceiving them? Perhaps all of them had completely died in reality and had been reborn in this world. They would need to struggle in this world forever…

Yu Hanjiang quickly calmed down. He stared at Lu Jiuchuan and said, “Even if your words are true and we can’t return to reality through the secret room, what is the point of living as a killer?”

Lu Jiuchuan was cold. “Everyone has the right to choose how to live.”

Yu Hanjiang’s fists clenched and he couldn’t wait to punch this familiar face! He didn’t believe that his brother, who he had respected from an early age, who experienced strict training in the army and showed an excellent performance, who became the leader of a commando team at an early age, would become a brutal killing machine just for ‘living.’

How terrible was this Card World that a person like Lu Jiuchuan could lose his humanity? He didn’t dare think about it. He would’ve rather not seen this man, would’ve rather thought of Lu Jiuchuan as a hero in his heart.

Yu Hanjiang’s emotional ups and downs were soon pa.s.sed to Xiao Lou through the heart channel. In his mind, Xiao Lou’s gentle voice was heard. “Group Leader Yu, don’t be sad and calm down.”

The things Yu Hanjiang saw, thought and heard were pa.s.sed onto Xiao Lou. Xiao Lou knew that Yu Hanjiang had met his brother, who had joined the hunter organization and became a murderer.

For Yu Hanjiang, a police officer who was full of hatred for evil, his closest brother had become the most disgusting murderer in the world. Such a blow couldn’t be borne by ordinary people. Xiao Lou would also be in a state of collapse if that happened to him.

Once Lu Jiuchuan was admitted to the military academy, Yu Hanjiangwent to see him off in person. He saw his brother in uniform smiling at him and giving him a standard military salute. Then when Yu Hanjiang was admitted to the police school, Lu Jiuchuan took a vacation to invite him for dinner, eyes full of trust and encouragement.

These memories broke his heart. Yu Hanjiang’s nose was sour and he didn’t know what att.i.tude he should use to face his brother.

Xiao Lou sensed his mood was very unstable and immediately spoke. “Group Leader Yu, do you trust your brother?”

Yu Hanjiang replied, “I certainly trusted him before…”

“You trusted him before. Then now?”

Yu Hanjiang was silent.

Xiao Lou’s voice was calm and gentle. “Three years can really change a person but I think that human nature won’t change so much. For example, perverted murderers won’t suddenly become philanthropists and an upright soldier with a good nature wouldn’t simply go on a killing spree to survive. You are influenced by subjective emotions and combined with your agitation, you are likely to make a wrong judgment. First, calm down and think about it. Are there any other possibilities?”

These words were like cold water pouring down, instantly sobering Yu Hanjiang up.

Soldiers received the most vigorous training. In the real world, Lu Jiuchuan would rather die than betray his faith, even at the end of his life. The rest of this world did differ from reality but could human nature change so much? There must be a reason for this.

Yu Hanjiang completely calmed down and his mind became clear and sober. He had been shocked by the sudden sight of Lu Jiuchuan and became confused. Fortunately, Xiao Lou woke him up in time. Yu Hanjiang looked at the man in front of him. “What difficulties have you experienced… Brother Jiu?”

This familiar name made Lu Jiuchuan slightly hesitate. He raised an eyebrow and wondered, “Just now, you looked like you were going to beat me to the ground. How did your att.i.tude suddenly change? What difficulties could I go through?”

Yu Hanjiang spoke decisively, “I believe in you. We’ve known each other for more than 20 years. You aren’t greedy or frightened of death at all. If you joined the Hunter’s Alliance, there must be some difficulties or another purpose.”

The two men stood opposite each other and were silent for a long time. Lu Jiuchuan lowered his voice and asked, “You saw the hunter’s mark on my body yet you still dare to believe in me?”

Yu Hanjiang was calm. “A mark doesn’t mean anything. I can draw it on my chest right now. However, a person’s nature won’t change so thoroughly. As long as you are Lu Jiuchuan, I will believe in you.”

He suddenly stared into Lu Jiuchuan’s eyes. “You will never be so cowardly to degenerate into a devil.”

Lu Jiuchuan suddenly laughed. He had inherited the good-looking genes of the Lu family. He was very charming when he laughed and from a young age, many girls had secretly given him love letters. At this moment, he had a smile on his face but his eyes were full of complex emotions, like surging waves.

A moment later, Lu Jiuchuan put away his smile and looked at the brother in front of him. “You are too naive. In this world, no one can be easily trusted.”

“I know, but you are my brother.”

Lu Jiuchuan heard this sentence and his pupils shrank. His hands gently shook by his side.

Yu Hanjiang didn’t ignore his actions and whispered, “The world has changed but your soul hasn’t changed. If my judgment is wrong and you really became a killing machine then the next time we meet, I will personally take care of you. However, for now, I’d rather believe in you one more time.”

Lu Jiuchuan smiled. “Boy, with your skills, you can’t kill me even if you want to. You are currently too weak!”

The scene around them suddenly changed. Yu Hanjiang found that Lu Jiuchuan had inexplicably disappeared from in front of him. In this enclosed s.p.a.ce of sky and sea, only he remained. The entire s.p.a.ce was suddenly broken. Yu Hanjiang standing on the sea suddenly fell into the sea. His surroundings had returned to normal. He looked back and saw the light of the Night Pearls on the challengers’ escape boat.

Lu Jiuchuan was gone and Yu Hanjiang found that there was one more card in his hand.
