After a moment of silence, Gao Shuwei hugged Wu Lian and said, "Cousin, I will send you back now. Thank you for everything."
Understanding that these were his parting words, Wu Lian patted Gao Shuwei's back and said in a choked voice, "I will miss you, Cousin."
Gao Shuwei released him and handed over a book. "Please give this to Xiao Ran when everything is over. Also, I need one last favor from you."
Wu Lian took the book and asked, "What is it?"
Gao Shuwei smiled as he said, "I want you to hack the satellite and broadcast what I'm about to do worldwide."
When he heard this, Wu Lian's fingers tightened around the book as he stared at Gao Shuwei helplessly.
After a moment of silence, he tremblingly said, "Cousin, you…"
Gao Shuwei placed a reassuring hand on Wu Lian's shoulder and smiled. "This world needs a villain. Since there is already a hero, then I will be the villain. Cousin, I'm leaving the rest to you. Please stay alive and live a good life on my behalf."
Before Wu Lian could respond, Gao Shuwei snapped his fingers.
Snap!
A second later, Wu Lian vanished.
Watching Gao Shuwei stand there in silence after Wu Lian disappeared, Yao Zi'ao said softly, "Shuwei, you can still go back. Grandpa can handle this alone."
Gao Shuwei shook his head, looking up at the gloomy sky and replied, "No, Grandpa. Everything will only end when I complete my mission. This role as a villain… Only I can do it."
After saying that, his expression turned cold. Turning around, he looked at Yao Zi'ao and said, "Grandpa, let's begin."
Yao Zi'ao sighed and took out a dagger hidden beneath the blanket covering his legs.
Before he could pull the dagger from its scabbard, Gao Shuwei took it away and said, "Grandpa, let me do it."
Seeing the determination in his eyes, Yao Zi'ao released his grip on the dagger.
Gao Shuwei then took out a bottle of sleeping medicine and a bottle of water from his space and said, "Grandpa, drink this. I don't want you to feel any pain."
Yao Zi'ao looked at the sleeping medicine for a moment before reaching out to gently rub Gao Shuwei's head. Smiling, he said, "Shuwei, Grandpa will wait for you on the other side."
Hearing this, a hint of sadness flickered in Gao Shuwei's cold eyes. He nodded and replied, "Alright."
With Gao Shuwei's help, Yao Zi'ao took the sleeping pill. After he fell into a deep sleep, Gao Shuwei held the dagger and slashed Yao Zi'ao's wrist.
As Yao Zi'ao's blood dripped into his palm, Gao Shuwei's tears fell.
Clenching his blood-stained hand, he whispered, "Grandpa, we won't meet again. You already know I'm not from this world. After I die, I will return to my own world. I know what you said just now was only to ease my guilt."
