My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 833 - 412: The Last Lullaby

He smacked his lips, lay down once more, arms behind his head, staring blankly at the sky dyed red by the sunset.

Su Zimai remained silent for a long, long time. "Old brother, your personality is so awkward. If you really like someone, you must tell her properly, understand?"

"Why are you starting to lecture me again?"

"Because if you don't say it, others won't understand." Su Zimai said softly. "Obviously, if you had a good conversation with big brother and dad, they would have understood, but you just don't want to."

Gu Wenyu remained silent.

After a moment, he gently nodded. "I understand. Once all this is over, I'll have a good chat with her."

"Make sure you don't make her sad." Su Zimai cautioned.

"Okay."

"You too, make sure you don't get hurt." Su Zimai raised her eyes and then lowered them, cautioning again.

"Okay."

At this moment, Su Zimai suddenly stopped talking. She raised her head, looking into his eyes. He turned his head and curiously looked into hers.

As their eyes met, Su Zimai suddenly extended her hands and lifted Gu Wenyu's face, squeezing his cheeks to puff them slightly.

Gu Wenyu looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"If you get hurt, come back to me. Don't cry alone. And there's brother and dad, even though I'll surely laugh at you first, they'll definitely comfort you." Su Zimai looked into his eyes, speaking softly. "Do you understand?"

Gu Wenyu remained silent.

"Do you, un-der-stand?" Su Zimai furrowed her brows and enunciated each word.

"I understand, Lord Maimai..." Gu Wenyu tilted his head, elongated his voice. "Am I some child in your eyes?"

"Aren't you a child? You're obviously sensitive, yet always pretend not to care."

Gu Wenyu chuckled, "No one in the world knows me better than you."

"Really?"

"Thank you for being my family, even though it's just a coincidence."

"What coincidence? Isn't that a destined thing?" Su Zimai asked.

"Destined? Why?"

"Tell me, out of so many people in the world, why did your superpower pick me to be your family? Because it's destined... No matter in which world, at what time, we're destined to be family, understand?"

Gu Wenyu hesitated. He suddenly remembered the memory seen from Restricted Level 1001.

In the 1001 timeline, he was adopted by Su Ying and became siblings with Su Zimai. Indeed, as Su Zimai said, no matter which timeline, they were family. It might not be coincidence.

"Alright, I yield to you, you are the most logical Diaper Demon in the world."

"Call me that again, I'll bite you."

"Got it, Lord Maimai."

Gu Wenyu said, reaching out to stroke Su Zimai's hair.

They both looked up at the last glow on the horizon, a white European bird swept across the vast sea line. The sun dipped below the ocean at that moment, and Reykjavik's harbor dimmed, their faces shrouded in darkness.

"Let's go, have dinner." he said softly.

"I want to eat fried shrimp."

"I'll buy you anything you want, I still have some money."

"Be honest, is it Cezar's?"

"How did you know? But his money is my money."

"Only bullying kids."

"I'm also a kid, okay? And soon I'll be corrupted by you, if the world ends, you'll have contributed."

....

....

August 30, 00:30 AM, Iceland, Reykjavik.

It was already late night, inside an abandoned train station, a dark red train was parked on the mottled tracks.

In one dim carriage, Lin Xingshi was sitting quietly with her arms crossed, resting her head by the window. But after a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look out the Train Demon's window.

Under the aurora-filled night sky, a helicopter-like blue dragon shadow swept past. Its enormous wings sliced through the moonlight, stirring a fierce wind noise.

Lin Xingshi raised her eyebrows, looking up in silence as the blue shadow departed.

She unconsciously got lost in thought for a moment, lips moving, muttering:

"Little Nian..."

Undoubtedly, the Dragon Cat Demon among the Zodiac Team was the one flying across the sky at the time. Given the Zodiac Team had arrived in Iceland, it meant the Little Nian Beast was certainly among them.

"Considering that commotion just now, could it be that the Child of the Year Beast has also arrived?"

Zhuge Hui knocked on the carriage door, then pushed it open, speaking as he entered.

"Yes." Lin Xingshi withdrew her gaze, speaking slowly. "Little Nian and the Zodiac Team should be hiding by the snow mountain. On September 1, they'll set out with us to Hof Glacier, Black Cocoon might be close to them."

"Black Cocoon, huh? We still haven't figured out the origin of that Gu Family's kid." Zhuge Hui waved his folded fan, pondering.

"Even their own family doesn't understand, let alone us outsiders. We just need to know his deep connection with the Salvation Society." Lin Xingshi said. "The truth will be revealed eventually, we need to find justice for Jiuya."

"Ah, the Salvation Society has certainly crossed us with Lake Hunting, even if we don't make it past this hurdle, the old folks in the family will find a way to clear out the Salvation Society." Zhuge Hui said.

"Don't rely on those old folks in the family, can they be trusted?"

"True, after all, they're still suspicious of you and the Child of the Year Beast having some dealings." Zhuge Hui waved his folded fan. "That day, if not for the timely arrival of the Child of the Year Beast, you and Wujiu might not have escaped death."
