Chapter 594: An Important Friend

Hei Gou's memories had been sealed deeply within his mind, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not remember anything. He understood that while the memories were sealed, the future was actually uncertain. It was unknown if they would return or not, so he had to fully consider his future.

Although he had decided to stay with Xue Wei in a decisive manner, only he himself was aware of how difficult the decision had been.

Right now, everything he knew was shrouded in a dense mist, and he felt confused. If he encountered such a situation, he, naturally, understood that he should trust no one.

Although Xue Wei and the others had said a lot of inexplicable things, he could not verify what was correct, and what was just said for the sake of tricking him.

Even so, a strange intuition made him trust this person in front of him. Whenever he looked at Xue Wei and the others, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and happiness.

While his memories were gone and one could trick him into believing almost anything, he was also smart enough to realize that this feeling could not be caused by trickery.

It was also this strange intuition and feeling that had been the deciding factor behind his decision. Usually, he would do his utmost to stay away from anything until he had licked his wounds and found a plan for advancing, but now he took a risky path forward.

To be completely frank, he was not sure whether the decision he had made was the right choice. He did not know much about the danger they were facing, nor did he understand their relationship well, but he felt as if his heart was grasped by a hand and squeezed hard at the thought of leaving them.

Since they had been important to him previously, then he would not mind reexperiencing the building of their relationship. However, unlike before, he would not be influenced by previous emotions, and would look at their relationship with more objective eyes.

"We will rest for another day and night. During this time I will try to explain our current situation to you, and what we might face in the future."

Xue Wei decided that since Hei Gou had chosen to stay, then he had to be as prepared as possible before they entered the No-Man's Land.

"Do you want to be told about our past, or would you rather wait for the memories to return on their own? Even if they do not return, it does not influence your identity as our comrade. Your life belongs to you, and if you do not want to be weighed down by the past, then we can move on with this as a new starting point.

"If you want to hear our anecdotes, then we will naturally be happy to share. Unfortunately, we can only explain how we experienced these past memories, and it might not do your own experience justice."

Xue Wei tried to be as thorough as possible. The current outcome was already the best among the outcomes he had feared while watching as his previous mutations were slowly disintegrating in front of him.

He would, naturally, prefer if his friend could keep his memories, but he also understood Hei Gou's mentality well. If he had retained his memories, but returned to the strength he had before their first mutation, then the blow he would suffer was much more than what he could handle.

The reason he was willing to risk this mutation was that he assumed that death and success were the only two options. Now that they understood that there were many possible results, they were much more worried.

"Thank you. I would like to hear about the enemy that we are facing, and I am very curious about this No-Man's Land that you mentioned. About my past, we should leave it alone for now.

"Right now, I am struggling to figure out who I am. If we further confuse it with how you all see me, it might become harder to find my real self.

"If I ever have a need to know certain things, then I hope you are still willing to answer my questions."

The Hei Gou that was standing in front of them now was not as cheerful and silly as in the past, but his core had not changed, and they all respected his choice.

"You can ask us anything whenever you wish to do so. We are companions that have depended on one another through life and death battles, and you are one of the few people in the world that we are willing to entrust our backs to during a fight."

Xue Wei was not usually a person who would speak emotionally. He was taciturn and felt that actions spoke louder than words.

Even so, to ensure that Hei Gou would understand him, he still went the extra mile to explain his thoughts. As Hei Gou had lost his memories, he was also unable to have the same innate ability to understand his intentions, and thus Xue Wei took the time to explain. He was meticulous in a way like never before.

Lin Xiao and the others were also showing their sincerity towards Hei Gou, and the pure friendship made the Celestial Dog feel relieved. His heart, that had been hanging in his throat, finally settled, and he felt as if the decision he made was the right one.

Although he did not remember these people, they still felt important, and the way they treated him was enough to make him understand that he too was a valued member in their group.
