Chapter 902: , Bai Ge
"Brother Bai… your color…"
Griseo's small body was trembling.
The girl saw Bai Ge's color. It was the clean, unblemished pure white she had imagined. Just seeing it for the first time made Griseo completely fall in love with it, however…
This kind of white was already minimal.
In Griseo's field of vision, countless terrifying colors smeared this beautiful pure white, as if trying to cover it up.
And these colors were heavy and complex, chaotic and terrifying, almost all of them were colors Griseo hated.
These were the colors of tragedy!
"How could it be like this, Brother Bai, no, you can't continue, your color, it shouldn't be like this…"
"Gri, Griseo."
Bai Ge was instantly at a loss.
This wasn't within his range of experience. In past cycles, Griseo hadn't had such a reaction because he could always hide it well, only showing the parts that hadn't been smeared yet.
Bai Ge: "!!!"
The next second, he understood the reason.
His current color could no longer be covered up by the methods of the past. The various memories accumulated over ten cycles had broken through the limit, and he didn't have many white parts left.
And at this moment, the real him was exposed in Griseo's eyes.
"…I'm sorry Griseo, did I let you see an ugly color."
"No, it's not! Brother Bai's color is very beautiful, it has never changed, but they are almost gone now. You can't do this to yourself, wuwuwu…"
Griseo's tears flowed uncontrollably.
She had come into contact with the real situation of the person in front of her. Bai Ge was using himself to bear the tragedy of the entire previous civilization!
And besides that, there was the exhaustion that kept accumulating, countless invisible wounds, and the overly heavy pressure this person bore during this overly long journey.
However, this bearing was by no means meaningless.
Because Bai Ge had obtained results corresponding to this payment, which was the casualties of the previous civilization that kept decreasing in cycle after cycle, so his efforts were indeed rewarded.
Yet Bai Ge still couldn't end this journey.
Because the thing he desired most hadn't been obtained yet!
That was a girl's life. Before snatching her back from the hands of fate, the white-haired youth was willing to imprison himself in the cage called the past (previous civilization).
If he were a painting now.
Then Griseo felt that this painting was very magnificent and brilliant, but at the same time sad and poignant. She never knew that the big brother she liked was so "scarred."
"Brother Bai, stop, okay? Griseo begs you, I, I don't want your color to be covered up." The girl begged with teary eyes.
"I'm sorry Griseo, this is the last time."
"No, no! Brother Bai's white is almost gone, that is my favorite color, you can't let yourself be stained (bear) anymore."
Griseo shook her head forcefully. She didn't know what Bai Ge meant by the last time. She only knew that even at this very moment, Bai Ge's color was decreasing bit by bit.
The girl who was always ethereal and emotionless in the past was now so emotionally agitated that she couldn't restrain herself, because she saw Bai Ge using his own color as a canvas, smearing all the tragedies in the world on it.
"Tell me, Griseo, what exactly is going on? What happened to him? Bai Ge!" Mobius asked anxiously.
"Wuwuwuwu, Grandma Mobius, Brother Bai is sacrificing his own color."
"I don't understand, what does this mean? Speak clearly, Bai Ge, you… what did you do to yourself again?" Mobius stared straight at Bai Mouren and asked.
"…………"
Bai Ge was silent for a moment. He couldn't tell them about the cycles, right? This choice was never in his consideration. He was a stubborn, obstinate, and arrogant person.
Thinking that after he handled everything and wrote a perfect ending for the storybook, he would treat the cycles and the things he had borne as if they didn't exist, and never tell anyone.
However, these hidden things were now partially revealed by a girl.
"I'm sorry, Griseo, wait a little longer, okay? I will return to my original color. You can see it, right? I just let other colors stick to it, my own color hasn't disappeared. When everything ends, I will eliminate them all."
Bai Ge squatted down and said to Griseo, hugging the girl as gently as he could.
"Really? Brother Bai, can your color really return to its original state?" The girl asked with teary eyes.
"Hmm, of course, why, Griseo, do you no longer believe in me?"
"No, it's not! Griseo believes in you!"
Griseo shook her head forcefully.
The only thought in her mind just now was that if Bai Ge's color couldn't be restored, then she would repaint it!
No matter what, no matter what, she had to help this person retain his color, absolutely not letting tragedy pollute him.
"Thank you, Griseo, I like you the most."
Bai Ge touched the girl's head gently and said.
"But I'm sorry, Brother Bai made you cry. Eh~ to make such a cute girl like Griseo cry, I really want to let the police uncles come and arrest me and put me in prison."
"No, Brother Bai has done so many good things, I won't let anyone hurt you! Right, Grandma Mobius, do you have any medicine that can make people grow up quickly?"
Griseo seemed to have thought of something, wiped the tears from her eyes, and asked Mobius next to her.
"What? Medicine to grow up quickly?"
"Hmm! Everyone has always been protected by Brother Bai, but no one has been able to protect him, so Griseo wants to grow up quickly, and then go protect Brother Bai!"
Griseo said firmly. She gripped her paintbrush tightly, as if holding a laser sword, blocking in front of the white-haired youth like a little swordsman.
Bai Ge felt his heart was about to melt. He rubbed his cheek against Griseo's, moved. It had always been him protecting others, but now a cute girl said she wanted to protect him.
In an instant, his favorability for Griseo skyrocketed, instantly multiplying several times.
"Snake Snake doesn't have that kind of medicine. If I had it, I would have used it on myself long ago, but I will wait for little Griseo to grow up. I really look forward to the day you protect me, but… for now, let me protect little Griseo."
"No, Brother Bai needs to rest now! You are already very, very tired, go and have a good sleep!"
Griseo said very seriously.
She was the second person after Elysia who could see through Bai Ge's disguise. The girl's talent for seeing through the essence of others, amplified by the Honkai Beast genes, allowed her to see the deep exhaustion hidden behind the white-haired youth's smile.
Griseo didn't know how to describe it, but… that was a soul-level exhaustion thousands of times more severe than Klein, who had just passed by after working overtime for more than a month!
"Sleep now, eh, but…"
"If Brother Bai doesn't go to rest, I, I will ignore you for a day… half a day. Right, do you need a lap pillow for Brother Bai to sleep comfortably? Griseo will give you a lap pillow."
"Ah this…"
"Brother Bai always gave me lap pillows for naps, so occasionally let me do it for you once. Wait for me, I'll go find a blanket, Brother Bai, come over quickly."
Griseo finished speaking and ran outside. Her studio was nearby. Every time she was tired from painting, the girl would wrap herself in a blanket and sleep on Bai Ge's lap.
However, once she left, only the two of them were left in this space.
"…………"
"…………"
Bai Ge turned his head away from Mobius's eyes, while the latter had a gloomy face, looking like she was about to explode.
"Are you going to explain to me what Griseo just said? Bai Ge!"
"Cough cough, Snake Snake, you know me, I don't want to lie to you, so… can you not ask? I will handle everything, really."
"I believe you! Hurry up and tell me everything you're hiding! Bai Ge, you idiot who always likes to mess around alone! If it weren't for Griseo today, I wouldn't have known…"
Mobius grabbed Bai Ge's clothes with a pained expression. ===== CHAPTER 903 =====
