Chapter 343: The fox's cry is sad and desolate
"Tailing! Do you know how long Huo Huo has been looking for you?"
Shocked, Gui Naifen and others could never have imagined that the tail they had been looking for these days was right next to them.
"Judge Jackdaw, you don't seem surprised. Does that mean you knew about this from the beginning?"
Jackdaw nodded calmly and began to explain the cause of the situation.
"Originally, according to the regulations of the Ten Kings Division, Sui Yang should all be taken in, but this request was made to me by the tail."
"Little guy, why are you making such a fuss? I've been away for a while, but hasn't he been doing fine?"
Uncle Tail curled his lips, but he did not deny his concealment and began to tell the truth of the matter.
It turned out that when Fu Yan was in turmoil and he rushed into Fu Yan's body, he was seriously injured in the fight for control and almost lost his mind.
At that moment it felt as if time had stopped. His past experiences, including being picked up by the young Huo Huo, being sealed into his tail, and the experiences of bickering and fighting with Huo Huo, all appeared layer by layer like a comic strip.
If it is called "zoetrope" as humans say, then it should be called "paomao".
Fortunately, at the critical moment, it was picked up by a jackdaw and kept in a gourd. Logically, he should have been completely separated from Huo Huo.
While recovering from his injuries, Wei Ba also noticed Huo Huo's growth as a result of searching for him, so he took this opportunity to hide.
"Now, you can get what you want. According to the previous agreement, you have a chance to regain your freedom. Of course, you can't be allowed to escape completely."
The Jackdaw's meaning was very clear. In principle, the tail had already left Huo Huo's body. Although it could not leave Sui Garden, in a sense, it was already free.
Wei Ba fell into deep thought. He glanced at Huo Huo who was lying on the ground with a complicated expression. Pain, loss, fear, worry, all kinds of emotions were extremely clear in front of him.
From the ruthless desire to "eat her" at the beginning to the awkward relationship between the two now, this change did not happen overnight.
The jackdaw was keenly aware of the changes in Tail's mood. The days of getting along seemed to have made this most powerful fragment of Liaoyuan develop an unusual bond with Huohuo.
"Tails, can I trust you?"
"........."
Hesitation is not Tail's style. Soon he opened his eyes, his eyes full of believable confidence.
"Okay, you and I are old colleagues, just leave it to me."
Weilu looked at Huo Huo who was lying on the ground and said in a domineering tone.
"Just let me possess him again and eat the other guy who's in the way, right?"
"We need to let this blind thing know..."
"He's in trouble!"
As he spoke, the tail entered Huo Huo's body incredibly smoothly.
"Woooooooo..."
As soon as he entered, a familiar crying sound was transmitted into Tail Uncle's body, making his expression helpless.
"This little crybaby is really hopeless..."
Although he complained, the tail still floated forward straight, looking around.
The surrounding environment was no different from the Juousi that Tail was familiar with.
There were tall walls, winding paths, and gates one after another, which made Tail couldn't help but complain.
"Humans only know how to create these useless things. They are so fragile that they won't last long."
Tail went through the gate and began to look for Huo Huo following the sound of crying.
"Woo, hum, woo..."
Huo Huo's figure became thinner. That was her childhood memory and the time when she just met Wei Ba.
Standing in front of Huo Huo was a woman who was also from the fox clan and looked 70% similar to Huo Huo.
"How could I have a daughter like you..."
Harsh words came out of the mother's mouth, and her defensive posture didn't seem like she was looking at her own daughter, but at a stranger.
"Mother………"
Huo Huo stretched out her little hands, and with her watery eyes, she longed for her mother to give her a warm hug like she used to!
"stay away from me!"
Screaming, the woman stepped back quickly, waving her hands back and forth with a look of fear, as if she was looking at a monster.
"Just pretend that you don't exist and we didn't give birth to you!" At this moment, Huo Huo's heart seemed to be shattered, and something took away the last bit of heat from her body.
"do not leave Me…"
Huo Huo held back her tears and continued to walk forward. Soon, two familiar figures appeared in front of Huo Huo again.
Two friendly pairs of fox ears, one male and one female, were Huo Huo’s childhood playmates.
"I...know you."
There was a hint of comfort in Huo Huo's eyes. Although she was a loner before being possessed by the tail, she still had two friends with whom she could play happily.
"Monster, stay away from us!"
Cold words came out of the two people in front of Huo Huo.
The way they looked at Huo Huo was like looking at a fly flying onto food, with disgust and nausea.
Seeing a friend who used to have a good relationship with her say such words to her, Huo Huo couldn't help but sob a few times.
These two "it doesn't matter" not only did not make the two feel pity, but instead they uttered it again.
"Still pretending to be pitiful? We hate people who pretend to be pitiful the most!"
"You guys...are going too far."
Huo Huo clutched his sleeves tightly. Even though he knew that this was Sui Yang's illusion, so what?
Isn't this all the life she has experienced?
"Huo Huo, it's not a monster..."
The classmates left, and Huo Huo was the only one left in the empty corridor. She murmured softly, but no one could hear her voice.
"what do I do……"
"Tail………"
In the past, even though Tail's voice was sarcastic, no matter how dangerous the situation was, it would always give Huo Huo the most reliable instructions and support. At most, after escaping danger, it would say, "I'm not trying to help you, hum..."
But now, the most inseparable "it" has gone away, what is left of Huo Huo?
The more Huo Huo walked, the more he felt a desolate and cold sadness rising from the bottom of his heart.
Just like drowning people trapped under the ice, a ray of light coming from above can make them muster all their strength, but when they finally reach the finish line, they realize that it is just a projection of the sunlight, and the end is still in vain.
"Everyone will leave...everyone..."
Gradually, Huo Huo began to repeat these words until a familiar ball of fire blocked her way.
Huo Huo raised his head slightly, and when he saw the figure of Tail Uncle, he was just stunned and did not show any joy.
"Tails... I see. Is it your turn to leave me this time?"
"what?"
Tail was puzzled. He had just spent a lot of effort to find this guy, but he ended up with something like this.
"My Lord, you haven't left yet?"
Tail used a cautious tone to test Huo Huo's mental state, but now Huo Huo could no longer tell whether what was in front of him was the real Tail or an illusion.
"Stop talking, Tails! I don't want to...watch you disappear..."
As she spoke, Huo Huo started crying again, but this time her voice was louder than before.
"Where are your friends from the ghost hunting team? Are they all here?"
“But they are not here…”
"Where are your judges?"
"They...are not here either..."
Anger was rising. For some reason, although Weiba usually liked to see Huohuo crying like a little baby, he didn't want to see her cry anymore.
"Everyone will leave..."
"Okay, okay, you're all gone, right? Look, I'll pull them all back!"
Before leaving, Wei Ba glanced at Huo Huo and muttered:
"Don't you still have me, your uncle?"
