Chapter Twenty-Seven: Kind?
Jared was finally successfully arrested, which should be a very celebrating event, but for some reason, Cook's heart was always filled with an inexplicable emotion, which was a complex emotion of unwillingness and unwillingness to mix.
Walking in the cold prison cell, Cook only felt as if a boulder was hanging above his heart, heavy and oppressive.
Just a few minutes later, Cook had already arrived in front of Jared's cell, and looked at Jared, who had been bound by special abilities, and was silent for a long time.
It was a stout silver chain with strange patterns of lilac on it, linking Jared's neck and legs at one end and the black wall outside the cell door at the other. This chain is a bind-type ability item that is common in the Empire, and it has a very significant imprison effect, especially for the ability.
This chain can completely suppress the ability energy in the person's body, so that the person with the ability cannot invoke the ability in the body, and completely turn him into an ordinary person.
Of course, the bind ability used against Jared is only a low-level ability item, but it's more than enough to imprison a first-tier ability.
"What's the matter, have you looked at me for so long and don't ask anything?" the eerie silence in the prison was broken first by Jared, who looked at Cook and smiled very kindly.
However, when Cook saw Jared's hypocritical and hypocritical smile, a gloomy killing color suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he was very disgusted with Jared, and even more disgusted with his harmless false appearance.
is obviously a brute who destroys human nature, just honestly put on an ugly and evil face, and put on a false appearance of so-called kindness here!
"Why don't you control the puppets in other regions and use them as your hostages? Disgust is disgust, but Cook still asks the question he wants the answer to the most.
"Huh. Jared chuckled, looked at Cook in front of him with interest, tilted his head, smiled lightly, and said, "You came here to ask this? There is other more valuable information to ask than this, and you already have the answer in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have come to arrest me so carelessly." ”
"You don't have to worry about it!" Cook's voice suddenly became a little colder, and he whispered with some annoyance.
He didn't understand what Jared meant. As Jared said that day, what had been sufficiently informed, why the revenge on John was doomed, and what was the plan he had to carry out even if he sacrificed himself, these were all important questions, but the first question Cook asked was not one of them.
In the face of Cook's low drink, the grin on the corner of Jared's mouth became more and more unscrupulous, shrugged his shoulders, and replied a little helplessly: "Do you still need to ask, because I don't remember the number of the puppets in other areas." ”
"What nonsense!" Cook directly rejected Jared's answer coldly, and only looked at Jared with a pair of bloodthirsty eyes full of murderous intent.
Indeed, because the number of golems is so large, Jared needs to write down the seed number of that area in advance for each action, and it is normal to forget the seed number of other areas.
But Cook never believed that Jared would let go of such a good opportunity to escape for such a reason.
Even if he couldn't remember the seed numbers in other regions, he could have chosen some puppets to blackmail at will, but he didn't.
"It's too much, I don't believe what I say. Jared pretended to be very aggrieved and continued, "Obviously, this is one of the reasons. ”
After that, Jared stretched out his right hand, gently patted the already empty left cuff, and said with a wicked smile: "It's really cruel enough, layer by layer, the flesh on my left arm was cut off, and finally even my left arm bone was cut off, do you know how painful it is?"
"You deserve it!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Jared didn't deny it, stared at Cook with a flashing and sadistic look, and said slowly: "Actually, because I don't want to kill innocents indiscriminately." ”
As if he had taken some stimulant, Jared became in a state of full excitement and madness, looking at Cook with a very expectant gaze.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Cook seemed to have been touched by something that could not be touched, and the bone-killing intent flashing in his eyes seemed to be condensed into substance, like a cold blade with a cold handle, just by looking at it, it made people feel like falling into the abyss!
He didn't want to admit it, but in Cook's mind, it was the right answer.
After seeing the fierce killing intent surging around Cook's body, Jared's pupils slowly fluttered with full excitement.
"Sure enough, you and I are really the same people!" Jared laughed maniacally, looking at Cook as if he were looking at some dear relative's flesh and blood.
This sight made the killing intent surging in Cook's heart more and more intense, and his right hand waved suddenly, as if a silver cold light flashed in the air, and then I saw blood splashing, and above Jared's thigh, there was actually another piece of flesh and blood that was cut off by Cook, and Sensen's white bones loomed.
"Why be angry? In your eyes, didn't I just kill a few citizens, what's there to be angry about, right, brother!"
A brother, as if it had completely ignited Cook's sanity, the bloodshot spread in his eyes made him look more and more bloodthirsty and terrifying, and a hysterical roar, as if he had made a final warning to Jared.
"Shut up!"
"Hahaha, it's clear that you and I are both bloody murderers, why do you hate each other so much!"
"Why don't I want to make you so angry by killing innocents?
"Because you are the same as me! Do you want to veto your cruel self in the past by denying me?!"
"It's useless! Even if you become a high-ranking executive now, your murderous nature will not be erased!"
Jared's crazy words were like a sharp blade in Cook's heart, making Cook gradually become indifferent from the initial anger.
Jared had dragged the chains and slowly walked to the door of the prison, clinging to the doorrail, looking at Cook with a sneer, and said, "If not, you tell me, where did you learn your superb killing methods?"
"It's not the same. Cook and Jared looked at each other for a long time before Cook finally confided these words indifferently.
"The people I have slain are all outlaws and fanatics who have committed heinous crimes, and I will not cruelly send them into the blood of wild beasts. ”
Cook looked indifferent and calm, and spoke slowly.
"Liar, what kind of lawless maniac, you wielded the butcher's knife just to survive for yourself, what cruelty was sent into the mouth of the beast, do you still think that your killing methods are merciful enough?"
"It's all the same, kill someone, we're the same kind of people. ”
Jared whispered slowly, like a demon's whisper, echoing in Cook's ears for a long time.
Memories of the past came to mind, and Cook seemed to be dragged into it by the boundless darkness, like the boundless Dead Sea, which was both boundless despair and boundless fear.
Suddenly, he no longer wanted to deny it, he had always known very well that he and Jared were the same kind of people, he hated his past self, he spurned his past self, and it was not easy for him to completely get rid of his former self, but suddenly there was a Jarid who was so similar to himself, as if he was looking at a shabby mirror, which was disgusting.
Was he really intimidated by the so-called cannibal scene that day, and why did he fight Jared so impulsively?
Now that I think about it, it's really very simple. Because he sensed the same rancid smell as he did!
"Well, believe me now, I really don't want to kill innocents. Seeing that Cook had completely dimmed, Jared couldn't help but sneer.
At this point, Cook had certainly believed what Jerred had said, and just as Jerred seemed to see his past, he had almost guessed where Jerred's hatred was.
As Jared said, so far, all the people that Jared has killed are the gutter rats in his mouth, and as for the other innocent citizens, he really didn't kill any of them, at most he just used them to participate in the phenomenon of repeat customers and create his external power.
As for why Jared did this, Cook is not very sure, and can only vaguely guess that it has something to do with the source of his hatred.
Because of that unknown reason, Jared didn't arbitrarily control the puppets in other regions as hostages, because he wouldn't kill those really innocent people, even if it was just a small play, he knew that in front of Cook, who was already aware of it, it was useless.
"But why are you so obsessed with this, if you are willing to give up this principle, there is still a possibility of escape. ”
Cook asked again, and though he had been aware of Jared's principle of not killing innocent citizens, he was still puzzled.
"Because of that person, I really don't want to be a cheaper person than him. To this, Jared only replied lightly.
John...... Cook thought to himself, because he hated him so much, so he didn't want to be inferior to John at this point, what a stubborn and contradictory guy.
Finally, after a deep look at Jared, Cook just turned around and left, although there were still many questions to ask Jared, but today is no longer possible.
The memories of the past made his mind a mess, and he felt like he was looking for a place to quietly sort out his thoughts.
"Brother!" Cook, who left the prison gate, heard Dai Lisa's joyful call from a distance, and then saw Dai Lisa plunge into Cook's arms like a milk swallow.
That's right...... Lisa Dai ...... It's my dearest sister.
Looking at the little delicate body in his arms, Cook seemed to recall the deepest pain, gently picked up Dai Lisa, and let Dai Lisa rub in his arms like a little wild cat.
