Other world, other me
He knew these day would come and close his eye, tried to find perfect way to explain. He sighs and open his eye, started to explain.
Lu Xun: Yes, it's true, I was there the whole time and I saw everything…
Cao Ren: Lu Xun, you don't have to do what he says, he just fooling you around!
Lu Xun: No, he's not… in fact, you are the one should stop this! (Cao Ren was surprise, wondering why he say that, and that same goes to the others) No more confusing us! And stop twisting it! You're the one who done it! You kill him!
Cao Ren: Lu Xun? What're you talking about… I don't understand…
Lu Xun: To be honest, I thought I would never mention this again! If possible, I wish I will not remember this again! But in Jing Zhou, when you say you kill all Lu Bu by yourself, I know something was not right! I thought I had made a mistake, so I decided to follow you guys, but as I went on, I discover one thing… You did not kill Lu Bu at all, Zhang Liao did! And you just kill us!
Cao Ren: What do mean I'm the one who done it? I just don't…
Lu Xun: …get it? (he opens his collar slightly and pull a little, expose different kind of scars on his chest. They look carefully and it was sign of being stab) See this? These are the one which Lu Bu stab me back then. But this one… (he pull slightly lower, reveal another scar but different one) This was the one you kill me! Saw this sign? Only the weapon of yours had those sign! I've even double confirm about it and it was you are the one who done it! Why must you kill us?
Ling Tong: Wait! If what Lu Bu let us see the whole illusion was true, then the soldier back then… was you?
Cao Ren: That's absurd! I never done anything like that!
Lu Xun: Admit it! After I've fall, Zhang Liao was the only one came to me and defeat Lu Bu! And I was clear about that cuz I'm still conscious, but you! You came out from maze and kill us all!
Cao Ren: But, that's still could not prove that I kill you guys, and what makes you think that I have to kill you guys in the first place?
Lu Xun: Yes, it's true that I don't have proof about this but…
Huang Gai: See? You say so yourself! Why still accusing him as he did not done it? Same as always, you Monster just like to blame on things! You're no different than the other Monster!
Lu Xun: He would be! Although I'm not sure why, but these scar won't lie! It was from his weapon…
Huang Gai: But in this world, he's not the only one who would only use this weapon! It must be someone else!
Lu Xun: No! I'm sure he was the one, and I even check about you! There was no proper record about you! Who the heck were you?
Cao Ren: Listen Lu Xun, he's just fooling you… (somehow Lu Xun just gave him deadly glare)
Ma Chao: Question! If you really being stab and kill, how you got yourself recovered? I mean, if that's really what had happen… How did you survive? It's not like you had the chance…
Lu Xun: I…I was in coma for three months… To told you the truth, I don't know either… When the time I woke up, I already at a village, recovered…
Jiang Wei: Three month after the incident? Wait, I remember that time…
Ma Chao: Which village? Did we pass through it before?
Lu Xun: Yes, it's the place where we meet Zuo Ci…
Ling Tong: What? You were there?
Lu Xun: (he lower his head) Yes… but! He did not told me everything what had happen! Neither how I was safe or what had happen during coma… so I just… don't have any idea what had happen…
Ma Chao: You… never thought of asking him?
Lu Xun: Do you think I never ask? Of course I've tried! But whenever I ask, he'll always say it's not the time! Even when I wanted to go back to Yi Ling, he'll stop me no matter what! So? Since I couldn't got from him, so, I went out to search for myself and literally tried to search about you! (he looks at Cao Ren dangerously)
They were surprise, Xu Huang was right, he did hide something from them! As they wanted to ask about his intention, Jiang Wei interrupt them from asking.
Jiang Wei: Lu Xun, there's something I need to told you, but I need you to calm down, I know it's hard for you to accept this but… Zhang Liao… he's not dead yet…
Lu Xun: (his eyes wide open, looks at him surprise) What do you mean he's not dead? I saw him being stab! That's impossible! (at the mean time grab Jiang Wei's sleeves hard)
Jiang Wei: Lu…Lu Xun, calm down! (he tried to calm him which he finally stop) I know it's weird to say this now since it's already one year past but I really saw him six month ago, just before I got myself executed! (Lu Xun stop, look shock) Listen, I was on the job and I was told to capture him! You know what, we face to face and talk to each other! Although I'm not sure what had happen to him since I was on other duty, but I'm sure he was somewhere…
Lu Xun: (he shook his head solemnly) No… no more Jiang Wei, I know you wanted to cheer me up but not this way… He already died! Jiang Wei, already died!
Jiang Wei: Lu Xun, I'm not lying nor cheering, I'm telling the truth!
Lu Xun: No, just like I've told his mother, he'll never came back… (he saw a figure right behind their back. Zhang Liao looks at him solemnly and gently shook his head. He wanted to say it, but knew that they won't trust him. He kept quiet, not saying a word)
Xu Huang: Then, if you don't mind, I have something to ask, what is your intention? Why do you lie to us? Why you told us that you never went through to Luo Yang before. I've study the map, all the way we went through was just straight ahead and it was connect to the village. Then why you… (Most of them were surprise when he ask that. Jiang Wei quickly stop him from asking but too late as Huang Gai was piss off)
Huang Gai: Oh, so that's the reason why you following us! What do you think we are? A fool? Are you trying to play a dumb with us? That's it! I had enough with you! You're nothing but a liar! A low life!
Lu Xun: I…I know I shouldn't lie but, if you could just…! (but he was cut off by Huang Gai as he could not bare to listen from him anymore)
Huang Gai: NO MORE WORDS FROM YOU! You know what? You shouldn't even deserve to live at all! All these lies! You just created them on and on! Even this incident, you just created it for your own purpose! You should died instead! You should just…where the heck you going? (Lu Xun lower his head and leave, not looking back)
Jiang Wei: (he quickly grab Lu Xun's wrist, stop him from going and looks at Huang Gai with stern eye) Stop! Don't go! Huang Gai! Why you need to say such thing? You haven't even heard what he gonna say and you just split through! Why can't you just stop for once and think what you gonna say!
Huang Gai: That's because he don't deserve for us to trust at all! Just as Xu Huang say, he lie to us! If we listen to him again, who knows he gonna lie to us again! Even this whole incident, I bet he had something to with it instead say Cao Ren was the one who done it!
Jiang Wei: But you could just listen, just for once!
Huang Gai: Don't side him anymore, Jiang Wei! He don't deserve to!
Lu Xun: Shut up! Just shut up! (he looks at them with dead glare) If you don't want to listen then that's fine! Since you think this was just a lie, then I have nothing to say! But I still have to say, Cao Ren was the one who done those things on us! Whether you believe it or not!
Huang Gai: Grr! Just go! I don't want to hear this anymore! Liar!
Lu Xun: Don't worry, I will! (he looks at Cao Ren with deadly glare) But just before I go, there's something I need to ask… How did you know the direction of the maze? If you insists say that you came to the rescue, then tell me, how did you pass through the maze, cuz as I recall, there're no one knew the direction unless… they had a map or someone guide them through… So tell me, how did you know? And one more thing, that place! The place you've been assigned, was it really there? As I remember, that place had been destroy by Monster 30 years ago! So basically that place was unavailable at all! If you don't trust me, just ask Huang Zhong, he knew better than you!
Cao Ren wanted to explain but somehow, he could not remember a thing about how he pass through the maze and how he got assigned! They ask Huang Zhong about the place, which he nods and confirm that it had been destroy long time ago since he was assigned to that place before. They're slightly surprise, wanted to ask Lu Xun, but he was gone as he had walk to the other side of the cave.
Jiang Wei look at them in disbelief and chase after Lu Xun, hoping could get him back.
Just as he expected, he was not far from them. He grab his wrist, ask him to stop.
Jiang Wei: Lu Xun, wait, stop! (Lu Xun stops, look at him sadly) Follow me, we're going back! (to his disappointment, Lu Xun shove his hand off, walk away) Wait Lu Xun! Wait! (this time he grab his wrist even harder, making him stop) Please, don't go! I know they don't mean it and I'm sure we could work this out if we…
Lu Xun: And then what? It's just the same! But I have to say, aren't you going to do that? Better do it now before it's too late…
Jiang Wei: What…what are you talking about? Look at me! I'm not doing anything! I swear!
Lu Xun: Are you sure? So you don't care about their life? At all? They're there, didn't they?
Jiang Wei: (he was shock, never expect he knew that) Lu…Lu Xun, how did you…
Lu Xun: …know? I heard everything… in Yi Ling… I heard you talk with Pang De, talk about the girls… and me!
Jiang Wei: (his face was pale and his heart was jumping like crazy as he did not expect this would happen! He lowered his head and knelt down, holding Lu Xun's hand, crying) I'm sorry… I'm really sorry! (that's the only thing he could say as he don't know what to say anymore. Lu Xun knew that it was not his fault, and knelt beside him. To his unexpected, Lu Xun raise up his hands in front of his face)
Lu Xun: Tie me now, that's the only way to save them…
Jiang Wei: What! Are you crazy? Don't! (he quickly lower Lu Xun's hand as he did not intend to capture him. But Lu Xun insists, still raise his hand) Lu Xun! Don't! I don't want to…
Lu Xun: Tie me now, they only want me right? So, capture me now so that the girls will be safe…beside, Huang Gai was right… I don't deserve to…
Jiang Wei: (he quickly shut his mouth and hold his face so that he could look straight at him, which kinda startle Lu Xun) Listen to what you just say, Lu Xun! You're about to send yourself to death! And don't use this as a joke and you know what? I'm not going to capture you because of this! (Lu Xun wanted to say something but he quickly shuts his mouth as he know what'll he say) No! Don't! I don't want to hear a word from you! No more!
Lu Xun: (his mouth was shut by Jiang Wei. He knew this would come too. He sigh silently and remove his hand, raise his hand) No, Jiang Wei. They're innocent. I'm sure you don't want them in troubles too right? So, why can't you just capture me and they'll be release… (before Jiang Wei could say a word, another voice came in)
?: Yes, he was right! Once you hand him to us, as we promise, we'll set them free! (Both Jiang Wei and Lu Xun look at him unison and surprise!)
Jiang Wei: Pang…Pang De? How did you… (he looks around him, notice they're being surrounded by HURT and soldiers)
Pang De: Hm? How did we what? We came by plane of course… (he points his airship which it was right behind him)
Jiang Wei was surprise, he never expect they had came and worst, he could not sense anything as his instance are not helping him this time. He lowered his head and curse himself for being useless. Pang De walks fort, hand him a syringe. Jiang Wei looks at it with horror and anger!
Jiang Wei: What's the meaning of this? Do you expect me to do this, to him?
Pang De: Agent Bo Yue, as far as I know, you're still our agent and your job was to hand him over by yourself! If you did not do it, I can't guarantee what'll happen to the girls as it was part of the deal! Plus, 'he' was already here and wish to see that you done it yourself! Or else, you know the consequences… (Jiang Wei looks at him deadly, refuse to do it. He sighs and capture Lu Xun, ready to give him the shot. Jiang Wei aware, beg him to stop) Bo Yue, I've tried to make things easier for you! If you insists disobey the orders, then I'll capture this kid myself, but! You know this is not a joke right? If he knew this kid was not capture by you, , you do know what'll happen to the girls right? So heed my advice, capture him and shot him, and take him in! Once we gave it to Zhang Jiao, we'll let them go… What do you say, Bo Yue? Do it or not?
Jiang Wei: (he was furious! Wanted to hit them! But he can't endanger either one of them especially the girls! He tried to thought a way to escape but none as he know he had to decide which choice should he made as this had relate to someone's life! He holds his head and anger, hoping they could give him some time to think but as you know, time not allow him to do so. Pang De started to count, which make him panic to think of what to do! As Pang De almost count to ten, he finally decided to do it himself) Ok! Ok! …I'll do it! So don't…!
Pang De let go Lu Xun and hand him the syringe. At first Jiang Wei resists, but whenever he thought of the girls, he literally take the syringe, looks at it dumbly. Pang De stood aside, letting Jiang Wei to do his job. Jiang Wei curse silently. He knew he had to do it, but deep in his heart, he doesn't want to! Lu Xun knew that he could not resists any longer and decided fold up his sleeves, reveal his skin, ready to get shot. Jiang Wei resists, doesn't intend to do so. Without choices, Lu Xun grabs Jiang Wei's hand and shot himself. Jiang Wei surprise, and quickly grab Lu Xun as he slowly falls over. Jiang Wei slap his face lightly and call him loud, hoping he could awake but fail as he had gone into deep sleep! He curse himself even more, blame himself being useless!
Now that the first step was fulfill, Pang De walks toward Jiang Wei and hand him another item. Jiang Wei looks up with anger, hoping this could end soon as he felt that he had been mentally torture by them! Pang De throws him the item and ask him to change. Jiang Wei's eye wide, it was his former uniform! He glare at Pang De but only his back as he had gone the other side, wait for him to change.
At the mean time…
After Jiang Wei chasing after Lu Xun, Cao Ren still can't remember a thing of how he got there and why the place that he was assigned were being abandoned long time ago. Huang Gai told him to stop thinking as he thought this might be one of Lu Xun's trick since he could not prove a thing and simply blaming on him. But Cao Ren resists and told him that probably he just need to recall it and prove that he just got himself fooled by Lu Bu. As they mention about Lu Bu, they just aware that he had been long gone and worst of all, none of them sense his absent! They curse themselves and thinking of leaving. But just as they wanted to search for Jiang Wei, they saw Lu Xun run toward them. At first they want to ask what had happen but without giving them a word, Lu Xun took out his gun and shoots Cao Ren! Cao Ren could not evade in time and got shot, fall on the ground, bleeding! Lu Xun smile evilly and ran back into the path.
Xu Huang and Huang Zhong quickly ran toward Cao Ren's aid, tried to stop his bleed while the others went in and chase Lu Xun. As they went deeper, they saw Jiang Wei who now wearing his DW5's outfit, standing in the middle of the path, not facing them, and they also saw Lu Xun lying on the ground! At first they're curious of how Lu Xun got himself lying on the ground, but since they're here, they did not suspect a thing and walks toward them.
Ma Chao: Hey Jiang Wei, glad to see you here, listen, you just won't believe what had happened just now! This kid just came over and kill Cao Ren! If you don't mind, we're wondering that if you could just hand him over to us…? (somehow his word could not get through as Jiang Wei had carried Lu Xun and walk away)
Huang Gai: Hello? Earth to Jiang Wei, did you hear us? Hey! (but Jiang Wei still walk on, without looking at them)
Ma Chao: (he still not give up and walks fort) What's wrong Jiang Wei? You seem… weird all of the sudden! Is there something wrong? And since when did you change your clothes? I thought you always… Jiang Wei! (Jiang Wei stop, look at him)
Huang Gai: Jiang…Jiang Wei? Why on earth you wear HURT uniform? And why on earth you act like one? I thought you quit…! (but Jiang Wei kept quiet, and walk on. Now this piss him off and halt him again, but this time, Jiang Wei stop and looks at them deadly) Jiang Wei?
Jiang Wei: I would advice you not to ask anymore! Just as you can see, this is who I am! And since you're clueless, I was told to capture him and if you had nothing to do with it, I advice you to stay back or else! (his tone getting serious as he explain)
Gan Ning: (he stop Jiang Wei, wanted to pull him aside) What? What do you mean you were told? Aren't he's your friend? Then why capture him! Explain! (as he grab Jiang Wei's shoulder, he had shove aside and back away, as if he could fly backward)
Jiang Wei: Like I have told you, it's none of your business! What decided is decided, if you'll excuse me… (he turn, not looking at them)
As they wanted to pursue their question, a light shine on them. They look up, it was the Soldier's airship! Most of the soldiers jump down and surround them! They look around and ask Jiang Wei what had happen, but Jiang Wei did not turn back, and jump on the plane as it lowered. Jiang Wei land gracefully, and looks beside as there was a group of medic came to him by bringing the trolley. He gently puts down Lu Xun and turn to face his friends. They're all surprise, never thought he had out buy them. Just as they wanted to leave, Xu Huang and Huang Zhong run to them, wanted to warn them about the soldiers, but they're too late as there were some soldiers came by! Now they're surrounded, Jiang Wei just look at them with blank expression. Although Xu Huang and Huang Zhong wanted to ask what had happen, but quickly understood once they saw Jiang Wei on the enemy's plane! Xu Huang was right! There was spy among them after all!
Now they felt like they're a swarm of fish, who ready to got themselves caught by fishermen! They stand beside each other, whispering what to do? Soon, Cao Pi and Pang De came out from the plane and stand beside Jiang Wei. Cao Pi looks at Jiang Wei with amazement while Pang De pat Jiang Wei's shoulder, praise him for doing a fine job. Jiang Wei twitches his face slightly but quickly back to blank expression as Pang De hand him a mask. Without hesitate, Jiang Wei took the mask and untie his hair, reveal his true identity to his friends. They stood there, feeling anger as they could not believe that Jiang Wei would be the one who out buy them!
Back on the plane, Jiang Wei was about to went into the plane, not hoping to see this situation, but immediately stop as Cao Pi just order the soldiers to kill them! He looks at Cao Pi and ask him to stop as it was not part of the deal! But Cao Pi ignore and ask Pang De to take over as he himself when in the plane, enjoy the scene. Jiang Wei just stood there and looks at him deadly. Cao Pi smirks and ask him to look for him after this had done! Jiang Wei clutches his fist tight, this is not what he was hoping for! He looks at his helpless friends, hoping could give them a hand… but none!
Now, they're in deep trouble! Cao Pi just send out the order to kill them all! The soldiers ready their gun and prepare to shoot them while waiting for Pang De's order. They look around, searching for way out. Just as Pang De was about to give the order, a sudden earthquake trembling in the cave. They fall, temporary could not get up as the land was shaking like crazy and lots of soldiers being kill as the rocks had fallen on them! Without choices, Pang De order the driver to set off as it was getting dangerous while the soldiers searching their own way to set off.
They too run for lives. They manage went out but could not find Cao Ren anywhere since he was injured. But time could not allow them to search! They quickly run as fast as they could, leaving Cao Ren behind. As they almost reach the exit, the rocks suddenly collapse from the top, blocking their way! They started to panic, quickly search another way out. They went back where they came from until they reach the three paths. This time instead of using the The Heaven path, they decided to tried the first one. Although they're not sure whether they should take this path, but as soon as the rocks collapse, they had no choice but to follow this path.
They quicken their pace, but as soon as they run few miles, the road was not any mere rock but became slippery! Ling Tong was the first person who lead the way and slip on the floor. But because of Ling Tong's sudden slip, the others could not stop in time and bang together on the ground, and glide down the path! For them it was crazy as it was totally out of control. They could not sense where they head as the force of glide getting faster! They could just only yell in the air, hoping this could stop soon.
As their wish demand, it was soon end. As they thought this could end in normal way, they saw a light coming below them (since their legs facing toward the entrance), and before they knew it, they were on the air, and fall on the snow! They curse out loud and tried to push each other aside since they fall on each other.
They stand, looking around them and wondering where they had been. As they look clearer, they notice that they had reach the village's side, which it was located few miles from here. And they also notice that the villagers are acting weird as they're all running around like crazy! They wanted to ask but was stop by someone who shout at them. They look at him, it was their driver! He ask them to set on boat quickly as they need to get away from this place!
Without asking, they quickly went on the boat and ask the driver what had happen. He did not say a word but point at the mountain which ask them to see by themselves while he quickly starts the engine and drive away as fast as he could. They look in horror! The mountain's snow falling apart! Within a blink, they saw lots of rocks falling from the sky, shooting at them! The driver tried his best to evade as a rock was about to crush them. With one turn, they manage to evade it, but not all the time as they look around them, they saw the rocks had damage half of the village and worst of all, most of the citizen died because of that!
As soon as they escape, the rocks stop falling. As they thought this was the last one, they saw something horrible, even their mouth are wide open! They saw the mountain's top in smoke, which mostly looks like a volcano going to explode! But that did not happen as something more terrible came! They saw a light shine toward the outer space, but soon fade! They look up, wondering where does it shoot. At first they thought it was nothing as there was nothing came to them! The driver quickly took out his communicator as Yuan Shao was calling him urgently, and told them that disaster had came! At first they're not quite sure, but before they could ask, they heard a loud 'BOMB' from the mountain.
They quickly look at the mountain, notice there were another light came. This time it's not shooting toward the sky but shoot toward Jie Ting! Once it's connected, Mount Jie Ting was in smoke and came out a beast! It was a very huge beast that protected by armored. It looks around and roar out loud, even the other side of world could hear it's roar! Once it finish, it turn around and fly off, started destroy the whole thing!
Now they're in shock! After all these just happen in few minutes, they felt that this was the end of the day! As Wei Yan looks at the mountain again, he quickly ask them to look at Mount Jie Ting as he saw a black star appear in the sky. Since it was far away from the mountain, the driver gave them binocular. As they look at it, to their horror, it was Lu Bu! For some reason his aura was getting stronger than before, even his looks was different! Lu Bu looks around and land on Mount Jie Ting. They gasp, wondering what to do in the future.
Yuan Shao call again, this time he ask them to came back as he had something to ask them. Since they're out of idea of what to do next, they decided to went back to Luo Yang and meet Yuan Shao. But as they're on the way back, they saw several planes fly the other direction. They of course knew who's plane does it belong to as their most trusted friend just out buy them! Most of them clutches their fist in anger, hoping someday could meet and fight 'him' in future!
On the plane, Jiang Wei…no Bo Yue quietly peeping Lu Xun from outside the room, who're now sleeping on the trolley and was tied up just in case he got up and ran away, just like before. He wanted to went in but could not as he was ordered by Pang De to guard outside the room. He suddenly startle and soon relief as he thought one of the medic was going to operate him since he was holding a surgery knife. He turns and curse himself for what he had happen today! He bites his lip and clutches his fist, swear that he'll settle everything once and for all!
