Chapter 648: Waiting for Death
What color is lost in the light.
Some people say it's darkness, but Karin doesn't think so.
Karin, who couldn't see and hadn't eaten for three days and three nights, looked at the "landscape" in front of her and found more and more that blindness was a color that was more hollow than darkness and more absurd than nothingness.
The scenes of the past are like shadows with dotted outlines, dancing in her "face".
Every word cursed by his father, every look of hostility from his relatives, and every pain of being beaten by the villagers.
The suffering of the past is like a boiling venom, burning every nerve in Karin.
"Get me out of here!"
Karin screamed as she groped against the wall and walked towards the exit, to her disappointment, a locked iron door blocked her way out.
Pick up a small stone and throw it through the crack in the iron door.
With the crisp sound of stones falling to the ground, nothing happened.
Karin, whose abilities failed, sat on the ground in a daze, leaving nothing but despair in her heart.
Carefully removing the glass pendant from her chest, Karin clutched it tightly in her hand, like a traveler lost in a blizzard, clutching the only match in her hand.
Karin curled up, sat in the corner of the room, looked up at the sky, and whispered, "Todd, if death comes unexpectedly, please bring me back to that place......"
After a long time, Karin was awakened by the sound of heavy footsteps outside the door.
Karin looked up, and her nose smelled a familiar scent, the yellowing and curling smell of a book that had been stored for years.
Karin knew who it was.
"Old man, I have bad news for you, I haven't breathed yet. Karin leaned her head against the wall and said mockingly, "Maybe I'll outlive you." ”
Waiting for Marcus to open the iron door, Myris walked into the room and said to Karin, "Have you thought about what I told you?"
"Immortal, immortal, transcendental?" Karin chuckled, "I don't listen to what you say. ”
Myris sighed, "Karin, you didn't like to listen to people for a long time, and this problem still hasn't changed. ”
"You shut me up here and forbade me to go out. For three days, you only gave me water to drink, and refused to give even a little bread crumbs, and you still want me to listen to you?" Karin said coldly: "If you want to kill me, do it quickly!
Myris shook his head slightly, "Karin, I can't do anything to hurt you. I've watched you grow up since I was a child, and I've never done anything bad for you. ”
Karin: "Since you don't kill me, let me go!"
Myris: "I'm not going to kill you, but I want you to embrace death." ”
"What?"
"Death will be your only path of salvation. ”
Karin spat on the ground, "Old man, do you think I'm an idiot?"
"You were very injured in that fire. Your eyes have completely lost their function, and even basic light sensitivity can't do it. Some of the nerves in your left arm and left leg have also been damaged, and you will never be able to walk like a normal person......"
Myris's words, like knives, slowly cut through Karin's spirit.
"And your face, you should be glad that you are blind, otherwise your current face will become your nightmare. ”
"Enough!"
In the face of Karin's yelling, Myris looked at the pendant in the other party's hand and said softly, "Child, you and him are getting farther and farther away, it's time to let go." ”
Karin grabbed the pendant with both hands and said word by word, "What if I say no?"
Myris reached out his palm to Karin and said softly, "You have no reason or authority to say no at all. Listen, my child, I can free you from the whirlpool of pain, provided you take the first step. ”
Karin's hand touched a dry object, and it felt like a layer of air-dried skin wrapped around the bone.
Myris gently sucked Karin's hand in her palm, causing her to scream.
"Who are you? No, what are you?!"
Myris withdrew his palm: "I am still the old man you know, but now I have become a dried corpse, and the word life has nothing to do with me." ”
Karin stepped back with both hands and feet, "I don't understand what you mean, do you mean you're dead?"
"Dead, but still alive, at least my memories and thoughts are preserved. Myris asked Karin, "Have you ever heard of the term Necrogenetic Inheritor?"
Karin paused, "Necromantic heirs, but those are monsters that have lost their souls!"
"We've modified those creatures to allow them to keep their souls, which are what I am today. ”
Karin shuddered and shouted, "But it's still a monster!"
Myris didn't get angry, and there was only a slight regret in his tone: "You don't understand. ”
Karin gritted her teeth and said, "I see, the tragedy of Taylor City is your masterpiece!
Myris shook his head, "Taylor City is just an experiment, an experiment to test the stability of necromantic transformation. With that experimental data in hand, I can now declare that the risk of necromantic species transformation is extremely low. Any living species can retain its memories and thoughts, and be safely transformed into a necromancy. Karin, do you know what that means?"
Without waiting for Karin to reply, Myris continued, "It means war, pestilence, poverty, strife...... All factors that endanger the progress of the race will be completely eliminated, and mankind will usher in a beautiful golden age. ”
"Think about it, why are there wars, why are there killings? In the end, there is only one reason - desire. Myris stood up and said with emotion: "The desire for materialism, the desire for feelings, and the desire for entertainment are the most fundamental reasons that drive human beings to fight each other. ”
"However, necromancy can solve all problems once and for all. An individual transformed into a necromancy, money, the opposite sex, pleasure, has no meaning to him. He will devote all his energies to the pursuit of truth and thirst for knowledge. ”
"What would the world be like if the whole society was completely necromanized? There would never be hunger again, and people would come together to discuss philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, music, literature...... Gold, precious stones, and silver are just ornaments, and money is meaningless forever!"
"There is no need for any Heavenly Father, no church. Every necromancer will have a strong spirit that understands what is self and what is true. They will no longer be seduced by false gods, they will no longer be used by careerists, and they will no longer be able to find salvation in front of a stone statue!"
"Karin, have you ever thought about it? What a wonderful and great world this is! Don't you want to join this world and see this bright and beautiful future?"
In the face of the emotional Myris, Karin just replied coldly: "Stay away from me!
The old man slowly lowered his arm and sighed deeply: "Child, think about it slowly." I have time, but yours is running out. ”
With that, Myris left the room.
Before leaving, Marcus secretly put a large bag of rye bread and a whole sausage in the corner, and then closed the iron door and slowly left.
