Gu Tao saw Liuzi crying like this for the first time, although she was prone to tears normally, the grief she showed now was unprecedented. The sound of her sorrow forced him to pause his work and take Liuzi to a relatively quiet room so she could cry freely.
He sat without speaking, silently allowing Liuzi to hold him; his clothes were already soaked with her tears. Although he couldn't directly feel the immense sadness that Liuzi was suffering, just from his perspective, to consider that a lively and joyous girl he had seen just two days ago was now a dismembered corpse was something very hard to accept. Even though Gu Tao had no emotional attachment to the girl, he still felt anger and an unparalleled melancholy.
Liuzi was beyond speech, clutching at Gu Tao's clothes, quietly leaning on his shoulder. Her expression was calm, but her tears never stopped.
"I'll help you take revenge," Gu Tao said, wiping away Liuzi's tears with his sleeve, "Is that okay?"
