On the rooftop, Gu Yina sat on the eaves, her legs dangling in the air, gazing up at the moon and the endless stars.
Kong Tai lay beside her, his head resting on her lap, lifting his wine gourd and taking a sip every now and then.
"Kong Tai."
"Hmm!"
Kong Tai looked up, gazing at Gu Yina's chin. "What is it?"
Gu Yina lowered her head. Her pupils, clear as a mirror, reflected a cold light under the moonlight. Her long black hair cascaded down, obscuring the myriad stars.
She met Kong Tai's eyes and spoke gently, "I can feel it. Ever since we met on the Mǎkǎ Kingdom cruise, you've seemed to be suppressing something. I..."
As she spoke, she looked up and reached out her right hand towards the moon in the sky. "I may really dislike that king, and I certainly wish to draw my sword and kill him, but… Kong Tai…"
She retracted her hand and looked down at Kong Tai, her gaze gentle yet firm. "Since I was little, you've told me that our lives don't need to be responsible to the world, only to ourselves. There are too many evils in this world; we shouldn't trap ourselves in a fleeting event of life."
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth curved upwards, and under the moonlight, she revealed a smile that amazed the sky. "Don't you think so?"
Kong Tai was momentarily stunned by Gu Yina's smile. He felt as though she was glowing at that moment.
Watching her, the corners of his mouth turned up, and a smile spread across his face. He reached out and took Gu Yina's hand, letting his hand cover her face.
He had indeed harbored an unreleased malevolence in his heart these past few days.
Before, he had killed people with indifference. But today, he had personally tortured someone to death…
Kong Tai took the gun and tucked it into his belt. Looking at the civilians on both sides of the street who had not yet dispersed, he chuckled, "After all, I don't know the specific uses of this gun. It will depend on Alo to become familiar with it before it can truly exert its power."
He truly didn't know the gun's specific uses. In the anime, this gun always existed in the form of a dog.
That form was certainly not suitable for Alo.
But if its original form was a long barrel, it could potentially transform into a sniper rifle.
With this gun, and the gun's unparalleled, cannon-like bullets, not to mention infinite ammunition, he believed that Alo's strength would undoubtedly improve rapidly, and he would truly become a world-class sharpshooter.
Thinking of this, he happily pulled down his wine gourd and took several gulps.
This gun was actually an unexpected surprise. He hadn't anticipated it at all at first.
After all, in the anime, this thing was always a dog.
It resembled a cannon more than a gun.
Moreover, his target tonight was mainly Miss Merry Christmas and Mr. 4. He wouldn't have paid attention to something that was originally insignificant to him!
Although this thing was indeed magical, it was useless to him, so naturally, he didn't pay attention to it!
But…
When he saw its original form, he was surprised to find that it was incredibly suitable for Alo.
Therefore, this thing was a pleasant surprise.
And since it was a surprise, he was naturally happy.
