Chapter 649: Father and Son Reunited, But There Was Regret (+1 for Eghver. An Yi)
Shen Changqing took a deep breath, his eyes became extremely sharp. He walked into the attic, and a voice came faintly:
"You finally came……"
Shen Changqing paused and searched in the darkness.
The light in the attic was dim, with only a few rays of moonlight shining through the dilapidated windows onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows.
The air was filled with a stale smell, mixed with an indescribable chill.
He walked forward slowly, and every step was accompanied by the creaking of wooden boards, as if telling the ancient history of the attic.
"Yushiro Ritaki, you're finally here." A low voice sounded in the darkness, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness.
Shen Changqing frowned slightly and recognized the owner of the voice - Yuzhe Lihei.
He walked forward a few steps and finally saw Yuzhe Lihei sitting in a wheelchair in a corner.
Yuzhe Lihei's hair has turned gray, and her face is full of traces of time, but her eyes still hold an unyielding determination.
"Father..." Yushiro Ritaki's voice lingered in his throat, but he finally spoke it out with difficulty.
He walked forward, knelt in front of Yuzhe Lihei, and bowed his head.
Yuzheli stretched out his trembling hand and gently touched Yushiri Taki's head.
His voice was a little hoarse: "You... have known for a long time that I am your father?"
Yubai Litaki raised his head, his eyes showing a hint of shyness, but more of a firmness: "Yes, father."
"From the first time I saw you, I knew you were my father. It's just..." He paused,
A warmth welled up in Yuzhe Lihei's heart, but it was also mixed with a hint of bitterness.
He sighed softly and patted Yubai Litaki's shoulder: "Silly child, do you know that I have been waiting for you."
"I saw every move you made. You didn't say it because you felt the time was not right, right?"
Yushiro Ritaki nodded and said, "I've been waiting for the right opportunity, but..."
Before he could finish his words, Yuzhe Lihei suddenly interrupted him.
"Actually, I know why you haven't said anything."
There was a hint of smile in Yuzheli's voice.
"When you were little, you always liked to pester me to play those weird games."
"I once wondered why you were so obsessed with those games."
"Now I finally understand that you were actually trying to get close to me in a unique way, right?"
Yushiro Ritaki was slightly stunned, then revealed a faint smile: "Yes, father. At that time, I just wanted us to be closer."
"I was afraid that speaking directly would embarrass us, so I chose this method."
Yuzhe Lihei, you have always tried your best to protect our relationship.
I know what you are thinking and I appreciate your continued efforts.”
Yuzushiri Taki couldn't hold back his tears and he hugged Yuzushiri Kuro tightly.
Her voice trembled: "Father, I...I am very sad that I couldn't give you more help."
Yuzhe Rihei patted Yushiro Ritaki's back, his voice full of comfort: "Silly child, you have done very well."
"The bond between us, father and son, cannot be measured by material things or strength."
The moment the two hugged each other, a warm and sentimental atmosphere filled the air.
However, at this moment, Yuzhe Lihei suddenly started coughing violently, and there was a trace of blood in the cough.
It flowed out from the corner of his mouth and spilled onto Yuzushiri Taki's hands.
Yuzushiri Taki's eyes suddenly widened, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
He hurriedly looked at Yuzhe Lihei, his voice trembling: "Father, you...what's wrong with you?"
Yuzhe Lihei's eyes gradually dimmed, but he still showed a forced smile: "Don't worry, son... I'm fine."
Yushiro Ritaki's heart was filled with anxiety. He held Yuzhe Riku's hand tightly.
A determined light flashed in his eyes: "Father, even if it takes all my strength, I will save you!"
Yuzhe Lihei smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her voice: "I have seen your determination..."
The blood coughed up by Yuzhe Rihei dyed Yushiro Ritaki's hands red. The bright red was glaring, like a blooming red spider lily, foreshadowing something ominous.
Yuzuki Ritaki felt as if his hand was burned by a branding iron, hot and cold at the same time.
He was panicked, completely panicked, like an ant on a hot pan, not knowing where to move.
“Father! You…you…”
Yushiri Taki's voice was trembling violently. He was even more nervous than when he gave a speech for the first time. His speech was incoherent, like a stuck tape recorder.
Yuzhe Lihei, on the other hand, comforted him, her voice as weak as a candle in the wind: "Taki, don't panic, birth, old age, sickness and death are common to all people... cough cough..."
He coughed violently again, and his face became paler and paler, like a piece of paper that had been soaked in water for too long and could break at any time.
"I...I have a letter here...for...for your sister...Yuzuki Rika..."
Yuzhe Lihei tremblingly took out a letter from his arms. The envelope was yellowed and the corners were curled up, which showed that it had been kept for a long time.
"You...you guys have to...get along well with each other..." He uttered a few words with difficulty, each word seeming to use up all his strength.
"I know, I know!" Yushiro Ritaki took the letter, and his fingertips touched the rough surface of the envelope, and a sour feeling surged in his heart.
He suddenly remembered that when he was a child, his father always did the same thing, stroking his head with his rough big hands.
He was ignorant at that time and always felt uneasy, but now he misses this feeling very much.
"The gamma reagent... can only... delay... my condition..." Yuzhe Lihei's breath became weaker and weaker.
"An Yuqing...she can cure my genetic defect...cough cough..."
"An Yuqing?" Yu Shiri Taki suddenly looked up. He remembered the woman who always wore a white coat and had a gentle smile.
"And... [Night]... Liu Qingnian... if... if you have the ability... please help him..."
Yuzhe Lihei's voice was as thin as a thread, as if it would disappear at any moment.
"Father! Stop talking! I'll find a way! There must be a way!"
Yushiro Ritaki's tears finally burst out like beads with a broken string, and she couldn't stop them.
He hugged Yuzhe Riku tightly, as if this could hold on to his gradually fading life.
"Game...game world..." Yushiro Ritaki seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, with a crazy light burning in his eyes.
He suddenly let go of Yuzhelihei, his hands dancing rapidly in the air.
A strange circle of light unfolded in front of him, emitting colorful light.
This is his domain - the gaming world.
"Large healing potion!" Yushiro Ritaki shouted, and a bottle of potion emitting a bright green light appeared in his hand.
He poured the potion into Yuzheli's mouth without hesitation, however,
The potion flowed down the corners of Yuzhe Lihei's mouth without having any effect.
"How could this happen?!" Yushiro Ritaki roared and threw the potion bottle to the ground, sending glass shards flying everywhere.
He paced back and forth in the room like a trapped beast, anxiously searching for his game backpack.
"Resurrection potion! Invincibility potion! Even...even...longevity pill!" He kept switching the game scenes.
He took out all kinds of rare props, however, nothing could save Yuzhe Lihei's life.
"3291 game worlds! I've searched all of them! Why! Why can't I find it?"
Yuzushiri Taki roared in despair, his voice hoarse like a wounded beast.
Yuzhe Lihei looked at his almost crazy son in front of him, "Taki... I... I saw... Rika... and you... I... I am already... satisfied..."
Yushiri Taki sat dejectedly on the ground, looking at Yuzhe Riku's gradually blurred eyes, he felt that his world was collapsing.
He stretched out his hand, trying to grab something, but he couldn't grab anything.
Yuzhe Lihei's hands fell limply, but there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
He looked like he was asleep, peaceful and quiet.
The room was dead silent, with only Yuzuki Ritaki's suppressed crying echoing in the air.
Suddenly, Yubai Litaki raised his head, a gleam in his eyes.
He stared intently at the letter in Yuzhe Lihei's hand and muttered to himself, "Letter...Sister...An Yuqing...[Nightfall]...Liu Qingnian..."
He stood up suddenly, grabbed the letter, turned around and rushed out of the room.
"Wait...I...I seem to..."
Yuzushiri Taki's voice disappeared at the end of the corridor, leaving behind only an empty room and a gradually cooling corpse...
