GBP Chapter 161 I am not them, and they are not me.
Chapter 161 I am not them, and they are not me.
March 7th and Xing, who were standing nearby, stared wide-eyed at the sight.
They never expected this.
Things ended in such a... peculiar way.
"What... what's going on?" March 7th asked Xing in a low voice.
"I...I don't know either." Xing shook her head. "But...it doesn't seem like such a bad thing?"
"Hmm...that's true."
March 7th nodded in deep agreement: "At least it seems that Lu Li won't be torn to pieces by Kafka for the time being because of the Shura Field."
The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
but……
Their gazes then fell upon Lu Li, who stood motionless like a wooden stake.
Their eyes were filled with sympathy.
"Lu Li, you're so pitiful."
"Yeah, that's so pitiful."
Lu Li: "..."
Again.
I'll settle accounts with you two later!
After leaning against her quietly for a few minutes, Kafka's emotions finally calmed down completely.
She slowly raised her head, her wine-red eyes fixed on Lu Li.
"Ah Li... come with me."
She looked up at Lu Li, her voice soft but unusually firm.
"I will protect you, and I will never let anyone hurt you again."
Lu Li: "..."
Big sister, right now, you seem to be the person most likely to hurt me...
However, Lu Li also knew that if he really said that, he might not be far from death.
but……
Looking at Kafka's expectant gaze, he saw...
Lu Li sighed helplessly.
Even if Kafka really turns evil again... he still has to make this clear.
Lu Li looked at Kafka seriously: "Um, Ms. Kafka..."
"I think there might be some misunderstanding between us..."
"Kafka," Kafka interrupted him.
Lu Li: "...?"
Kaffa looked at Lu Li, her tone somewhat displeased: "Call me Kaffa."
Lu Li: "...Uh, this isn't a good idea..."
"Kafka."
Lu Li: "..."
"Ka, Fu, Ka!"
Lu Li conceded defeat: "Alright... Kaffa..."
Several hundred years have passed.
The familiar address and voice, which she thought she would never hear again, made Kafka's eyes crinkle into crescents.
Lu Li coughed twice, then said helplessly, "Kafka, whether you believe it or not."
"I really don't have the past... those memories from the sky."
"so……"
"It's okay."
Kafka looked at Lu Li's helpless gaze, and the corners of her eyes curved slightly.
"I know, you are him, and he is you."
"That's enough."
Lu Li: "..."
No, sister.
How could this be?!
I don't remember anything from before!
Although it is very likely, almost 99% of the time, that was his past life.
But what if?!
Before Lu Li could even complain, Kafka continued speaking on her own:
"Even if you say you don't remember, it's okay."
"I will help you remember everything, bit by bit."
"Whether it's about me, or about...her."
Her voice was low and had a seductive, almost bewitching quality.
"Then, I'll make you understand."
"Who is your only home?"
"Who is the person you must keep even at the cost of your life?"
Done.
She reached out and tried to grab Lu Li's arm.
Let's stop here!
A red figure flashed by.
Himeko made another precise move, firmly gripping Kaffa's wrist.
"Ms. Kaffa, I've already said that." Himeko's voice, which had been gentle, now carried a hint of warning.
"Lu Li is family to our Star Train, and we will not let you take him away."
Seeing this, the others on March 7th and the others forgot about eating melons and quickly stood with Himeko to confront Kaffa.
"Himeko-nee is right!" March 7th shouted, hands on her hips. "Lu Li is our partner, he's family on the train!"
"We won't let you take him away!"
"Partners? Family?"
Kaffa smiled as she looked at Himeko holding her hand, a smile tinged with mockery: "I've been waiting for him for almost seven hundred years."
"And how long have you known him?"
"He is not your family."
"He is mine."
"From the moment he pulled me out of that filthy slum, he was mine."
"From the moment he named me 'Kafka,' he was mine."
"From the moment he died in front of me for my sake, he... could only ever be mine!"
Her words struck like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.
Himeko and Welt both fell silent.
They couldn't refute it.
Because they saw everything that happened in the sky.
It's not just them.
Anyone who has seen that scene knows.
How deep is this woman's obsession with Lu Li?
Even so... they couldn't let her take Lu Li away like that.
Walter adjusted his glasses, looked at Kafka, and said, "So... there's no room for negotiation?"
"In that case..." Himeko released Kaffa's hand, and her gentle, emotionless smile returned to her face.
"Ms. Kafka, the curtain has fallen."
"Your projection should disappear too."
"Star Train - You are not welcome."
Upon hearing this, Kafka's expression instantly turned cold.
The atmosphere inside the carriage instantly became tense.
Lu Li: "..."
Although it looks like a major battle is about to break out.
But... well, Kafka.
Could you please get up from me first?
This is such a serious scene... It's weird that you're sitting in my lap.
However, Lu Li also knew that if things continued like this, a major battle might really break out.
Lu Li quickly coughed twice, trying to smooth things over.
"Um... everyone calm down, let's talk this out, don't fight, don't fight..."
"And...Kafka."
Lu Li looked at Kafka.
Seemingly realizing that Lu Li was going to give her an answer, Kafka looked over expectantly upon hearing this.
Seeing the expectant look in Kafka's eyes, Lu Li fell silent.
Although he knew that saying this might cause Kafka, who had finally managed to calm down, to "explode" again.
but……
"I'm sorry, Kaffa... I still can't go with you."
Kafka was stunned, while Lu Li continued speaking.
"Those two people in the sky... I admit, they look a lot like me, to an unbelievable degree."
"But as I said before, I don't have those memories."
Even if they were my past lives, that's all in the past.
"Finally, and most importantly," Lu Li pointed to himself, "I am a passenger on the Starry Sky Train, Lu Li."
"Neither the demon hunter of the Five Heavenly Garments, nor the nameless swordsman of the Five Heroes of Luofu Cloud."
"I am not them, and they are not me."
"Do you understand?"
