Chapter 105: You Can't Make Me Kill Myself
Richard Parker seemed to lose his mind at the beginning of this reincarnation, and he turned to the last page.
In the blank space, write a strong question in messy handwriting: "FXXX...... FXXX...... What the hell are you?"
"Tell me, what the hell are you, what do you want to do? You want me to die? You want me to collapse, you want me to surrender to you, and kneel before you and ask for forgiveness?"
"Say, speak. ”
Richard's frantic questioning went unanswered, he turned his head sharply, and through the transparent doors and windows of the escape pod, he immediately saw that the heads were crowded there, and let out a cold grin that soaked the bone marrow.
"Hahaha...... Hahaha......"
"Open the door, Captain, open it quickly. ”
Outside the door, all of Richard's men and companions gathered, their faces squashed, and they stared at Richard Parker with bulging eyes.
At the same time, he kept banging on the hatch and tried to break in.
Richard Parker, who had already endured many reincarnations, suddenly made a new decision, and time continued to speed up.
"Richard Parker modified the device to detonate the Silence, killing all the astronauts, and he was catapulted towards Lomanu in an escape pod with the force of the explosion. ”
"The escape pod was damaged, the survival failed, and Richard Parker died. ”
"Game restart!"
......
Again, the voice rang in Tang Qi's ears.
Richard Parker, on the other hand, went back to the beginning that drove him crazy, and he didn't try to stop the crew from seeing the magnificent "Starburst".
Of the number of reincarnations he himself doesn't remember, he has stopped many times, but all of them have failed.
With a blank face, he straightened up and walked to the already familiar escape pod.
Take out the "journal" again and start turning the pages, each page that passes will trigger the relevant memory.
In the past reincarnation, Richard Parker tried countless times, countless possibilities.
"I can't stop the catastrophe from coming, whatever it is, some kind of radiation, some cosmic monster, or maybe the Silence has crashed? It's all an illusion, my hallucination, an illusion for all of us?"
"I can't let them wake up from their madness, I can't even stop myself from going crazy once in a while. ”
"One by one, I killed them all, and after the food was gone, I ate their corpses. ”
"I've imprisoned them, dissected them, tried to find parasites or whatever? but no, their flesh is real flesh, their faces are real faces, they're Matthew, it's Martha, it's Drake, it's Phoebe, it's Simon......"
"I've died countless times, blown up, killed, starved, frozen......"
"Wow"
Suddenly, Richard Parker stopped.
His originally intimid complexion changed, and an inexplicable light burst out in his eyes, and he seemed to understand something.
He died countless times, and died in many ways, but he did not commit suicide.
Richard Parker's hands trembled, and he held a pen to write down questions in the blank space.
"You, you want me to kill myself?"
"As long as I kill myself, this will all be over?"
"Can I be free, can everyone be free?"
Just as he was writing the third question, he felt like he had lost control of his opponent.
But the palm of his hand is still holding the pen and writing.
It's just that the handwriting is no longer messy, but has become regular, cold and unfamiliar.
The temperature inside the escape pod dropped sharply to below zero, and in the eyes of Tang Qi, a transparent person, Richard Parker's body underwent terrifying changes.
The space became extremely dark, only the outline of his body became snow-white, a large number of "black lines" flickered and jumped in his body, his face became hideous, his eyes were all black, the curvature of the smirk at the corner of his mouth cracked to his ears, and the scarlet flesh and blood were embedded with sharp teeth, making a hideous grin of unknown meaning.
With his pen in hand, he began to draw directly on the three questions.
The black lines are constantly drawing circles, connecting with each other, surrounding each other, chasing each other...... The distorted starry sky was born, and the "stars" of all sizes seemed to be sketched by a madman, looking like a series of crouching figures, clutching their heads and screaming and smiling.
"Boom"
The answer appeared in Richard Parker's eyes without warning, and he suddenly realized that the magnificent starburst that had appeared outside the Silence was not real.
This weird picture is real.
His soul seemed to explode, he suddenly began to breathe rapidly, and he woke up.
Richard Parker reopened his eyes, no longer in the escape pod, no diary in front of him, he was back in the cockpit of the Silence, sitting upright on the silver-engraved oval table, the cold touch under his buttocks, and the viscous liquid felt on his feet on the floor.
He subconsciously lowered his head, and Yin Hong stimulated his eyes.
He looked up again, and saw many figures lying on their backs, lying on their stomachs, and rotting.
Time seems to slow down at this moment, and in a way similar to "stop-motion animation", the follow-up is presented for Tang Qi, a transparent person.
"Richard Parker is back in the real world...... He sat upright in his chair, and he looked at all his companions and men. ”
"It's all dead, Matthew, Martha, Drake, Phoebe, Simon...... They were all dead, including the monkey and the Dalmatian, who were still in their cages, but because of madness or struggle, they all scarred themselves and died by smashing their heads. ”
"The rest of the crew, they all committed suicide in different ways, some with firearms, some strangled themselves, some swallowed certain mechanical parts, or cut their own hearts with knives. ”
"No one knows, how many times the crew has been reincarnated, how many times the monkey and the Dalmatians have been reincarnated, what has happened to them, is it the same experience as Richard Parker, or is it even more crazy?"
"But it doesn't matter, they all made their choices. ”
"Death is the choice that can liberate everything. ”
Richard Parker suddenly looked in front of him, and there was a pistol with a bullet, a bloodstained dagger, mechanical parts floating out of Simon's stomach, and a vial containing lethal medicine...... He had a lot of options, leading to the same path, death. ”
Tang Qi looked at Richard Parker at this time, he was a little inhuman who had been tortured in countless reincarnations.
Both the body and the soul have been distorted to varying degrees.
The same is true of other crew members and animals that have committed suicide.
They may all be strong, they all have hope, and they may even try to survive with wisdom and courage.
But in the end, they all gave in and all chose the same path.
Just as Donkey was curious about Richard Parker's choice, he got up, took the pistol and rubbed it for a while, then held the dagger and gestured at his heart, wiped the bodily fluids from the mechanical parts with his fingertips, and poured out the vial...... He had been in the area for a long time.
Half an hour later, he dragged his twisted body back into his chair.
With eyes almost filled with scarlet, he looked straight in front of him.
The clearer silver-white texture, the material of this space oval table...... and a diary that appeared inexplicably, and a pen.
"Huh"
Richard Parker let out an inexplicable laugh as he picked up his pen.
Began to turn page by page, turning over the bloodstained pages, and also turning over the pages with the eerie starry sky.
Latest page, blank space.
Richard Parker picked up the pen, the corners of his mouth gradually outlined, his palms trembled, and he wrote messily:
“FXXX...... See? Me, Richard Parker, FXXX...... Your mother, if you have a mother...... FXX your ugly body if you have ...... FXXX your rotten soul if you have ......"
"Hahaha...... Hahaha"
He burst into laughter, his handwriting becoming more dishevelled and wanton.
"I'm not going to kill myself, you can't help me, I don't know the rotten maggots from that dark corner, come on, let me see how strong you are, can you make me kill myself, come on." ”
As Richard Parker roared and wrote, the Silence, which had been stagnant, was suddenly activated.
Without warning, no one was manipulating.
The Silence ignited, and it began to return home.
Time once again sped up in front of Tang Qi's eyes, and the animation flickered.
The Silence returned and landed on Lomanu twelve hours later. ”
In the global live broadcast footage, Lomanu FEA staff found that almost all the ships were dead, and the only survivor was the captain Richard Parker, who opened his suit, thereby releasing deadly germs, which infected all the Lomanu people into zombie-like creatures within a few months, and Richard Parker did not commit suicide. ”
"Game restart!"
"After the Silence ignited and returned to Lomanu, the crew accused Richard Parker of being parasitized by an unknown 'alien monster' during a spacewalk mission, and he was arrested, imprisoned, and gassed by the Federation twenty-four hours later. ”
"Game restart!"
"The Silence returned, Richard Parker was the only survivor of the accident, he was allowed to return to his family, he went crazy that night, he killed his wife, two children, and then he went to his father, killed his father, mother and sister, and was shot dead by the police who arrived. ”
"Game restart!"
The Silence did not return, sending out a distress signal, the federal organization rescued, and in the live broadcast footage, Richard Parker tore the rescuer's flight suit and ate her under the gaze of hundreds of millions of his peers. ”
......
Silence, in front of the oval space table in the piloting area, Richard Parker has lost his basic human form.
His limbs were twisted, his face was hideous, and he smelled of rotting and foul-smelling, and around him were still his fellow crew members, who had been dead for an unknown amount of time, some rotting, some intact, seemingly in a different timeline.
It's just that it's all very real, like the pain he feels every time he is killed, without any relief, so real that he wails every time, like a lamb to the slaughter.
And now the lamb, Richard Parker, with his head bowed, his pen in his sleek, sleek, hand in his black hand, continued to write provocative sentences, word by word on the blank pages of the diary, as he had done countless times in the past.
"FXXX your mother, if you have?"
"You want me to kill myself...... Why don't you come in person and parasitize me completely...... Makes me completely hopeless and completely devastated...... Come on, how long do you think you can hide in the shadows, I've felt you many times...... You know, you're never going to make me kill myself except to be one with me. ”
"It's painful, right, you can't help a mortal, hahaha. ”
"Again, FXXX your mother. ”
PS: There will be two more more.
