CHAPTER XXIX - The Cry of the Far North 10

There is no need for human beings to exist. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is just nonsense, there is no "need" for any living beings, the great universe does not require the existence of any living beings, the birth of life is just a wonderful accident, and this accident adds a touch of color to this silent universe, which also confirms the meaning of the existence of living beings themselves, that is, there is no meaning.

After all, what is the point of not being needed? And the life forms that have tried their best to survive and evolve in order to survive and evolve in order to survive in the "malice" of the world, such as natural enemies, disasters, unknowns, etc., are like pathogens in the universe. From a planetary point of view, humans are nothing more than that.

But humanity is still alive.

From 2 million years ago to the present day, walking upright, picking up tools, fighting each other, and returning to peace. Eventually, humanity began to doubt its own existence. This may be the process of exploration as an "intellectual" creature, and in the end, human beings will find that everything they do is for the continuation of the race, and one day human beings will understand that the huge earth is just a drop in the ocean, and it can no longer meet the **** of the huge human empire that is growing and not declining.

Fear spreads with the certainty of the future, knowing that the world in which humanity has lived for millions of years will not be able to withstand the greed of the race, and will eventually turn into galactic dust.

No one doubts the possibility of this, but the short life span of human beings is determined by their short-sightedness, and they covet every inch of soil on the planet while knowing nothing about it.

"Do you think technology is very abnormal right now?"

Dio suddenly came back to her senses when she heard the voice, she shook her head, she could not remember what had just happened, and when she paid attention, she saw that she was already sitting in the warm room with the woman, the low table in front of them was steaming hot coffee and wine, and the pipe in the girl's hand was still warm.

Looking up, the golden strands of hair were entangled with the girl's gaze, and she had to pull away the hair that blocked her gaze before she looked at the woman in the red dress.

"You look confused, what's going on?" the woman shook the liquid from her goblet and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

“... You haven't answered my question yet, and now there's one more, why am I here?"

Although the hallucinatory words still lingered in her mind, the girl chose the path she felt was right.

The woman stopped shaking the goblet in some surprise, the crimson liquid inside continued to shake, and the light of the dim fireplace flickered in the girl's eyes, which had nothing to do with wisdom, and the stubborn and vigilant girl had already put her hand on the antique firearm that had followed her for more than eight years.

"I was taken aback, I thought you would be even more surprised, it seems that you do have good qualifications... About time. The woman placed the goblet on the low table and put her hands together on her chin.

"First of all, let's introduce myself, which is more in line with the etiquette of the "nobility". ”

Dio held the pipe tightly in his left hand, his mind was in chaos, the girl didn't even have any memory of why she was here, she barely pretended to be calm, but she had unbuttoned the gun bag unconsciously, but for some reason, the scene of being attacked by a strange man when she was a child flashed through her mind again, her hands trembled unconsciously, and her breathing became irritable.

"Very good... You're not like the trash," the woman bowed slightly, "what? have you become frightened by the shadow of your childhood? It's normal, but rest assured, as long as you're in this castle, you're completely safe." ”

Suppressing her fear and uneasiness, Dio withdrew her hand and clenched her fist, although her hands were still trembling, her eyes were still staring at the woman, and a slightly trembling voice spit out two words:

"Magic?"

"It's close, but it's not such a dreamy thing, in my world, that kind of thing disappeared from the world nearly a thousand years ago. ”

"The Mighty..."

In the human world, things that are not beautiful are not allowed to exist, whether they are vampires or werewolves, no matter how dreamy and incredible they are, once they go against the interests of human beings, then human beings will rise up, and we and human beings are not the same thing after all, Dior. ”

No, to put it bluntly, they are just "creatures", there is no difference, "non-human" life forms that appear as human beings, but they are all world...

Wait a minute...?

Dio gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand again, grabbed the Colt python, slowly pulled it out, and aimed it at the woman tremblingly.

"Answer me, what the hell is going on, here... Maybe violence is the only way to solve the problem, ma'am, I don't promise that I keep myself, so I can't guarantee that I won't shoot. ”

"Yes, after all, that's what your values tell you. ”

The woman sighed, reached out and picked up the goblet on the table, and took a slight sip.

"It's really not a very happy life, when you encounter that kind of thing, even if you have a calm and resolute that is incomprehensible to your peers, I'm afraid it's hard for you to completely avoid it, it's yours... Devilinmirror, yes, closer to the Oriental concept, is still afraid that she will suffer the same thing? as a woman..."

That's right... She was scared.

Afraid of her own weakness, what to do when she can't resist, and the thought of the possibility of only feeling her own powerlessness and despair, she feels fear, so she longs for 'strength', longing for others to give her the impression of 'fear', so as to protect herself.

Humans live in fear, and she has an unparalleled hope that she can get rid of that fear. Even if you get the power of the Book of DIO, you can't sleep at night. She couldn't understand where the power of the Book of "DIO" came from, she couldn't understand whether it was reliable, and the sudden appearance of "DIO" on the submarine only exacerbated her fear of the unknown.

"That's why you're here, dear Dior, what you want is strength, power to stand at the top, for peace of mind. Everyone is trying to overcome insecurity and fear in order to live with peace of mind, whether it is to compete for fame, domination, or money, all for peace of mind and avoid the fear of the unknown. Getting married or making friends is also for peace of mind... Because of the fear of an unstable future. ”

"But is it really a good thing to know everything, and there is no fear of the unknown? Human beings who do not have the fear of the unknown are no different from the stones on the side of the road. ”

"Beyond this fear, beyond this unknown, beyond the things that limit you... Instead of being delusioned by this fear and insecurity, and making stupid choices. You'll understand, Dior. ”

The woman held her wine glass high and looked at the muzzle of Dior's gun through the transparent glass, as if she was not at all worried that Dior would shoot. Dior's trembling hand failed to pull the trigger after all, and she gradually let her guard down and lowered the muzzle of the gun. yes, there's nothing to be afraid of, that's it... It's the pursuit of strength and peace of mind that makes her here, isn't it?

So...

"Walking alone in the world, my heart is self-purifying, without desire or desire, like an elephant in the forest. ”

The girl muttered a word.

"Oh?" the woman was stunned for a moment, not noticing what Dio was saying, but the next moment, her movements froze there.

It's stopped, and the gray-white world belongs to the girl's world. Dio slowly raised his gun, aimed it at the woman's head again, and pulled the trigger without the slightest hesitation.

"Well done, DIO..."

Dio heard the voice, only then suddenly came back to her senses, she shook her head, she couldn't remember what had just happened, she paid attention, she saw that she was in the middle of the ice and snow, in front of her was a long decaying skeleton, embedded in the ice and snow, the tattered red dress wrapped in the bones, the pipe held by the girl was still warm, and soon, the girl understood something, called out the book of DIO, and opened it.

The original blank part of the book about the second generation of "DIO" has been filled with handwriting, Dior roughly flipped through it, and only noticed the last line of words written about the second generation of "DIO" before the third generation of "DIO" - 'In the end, she chose to end her life and say goodbye to immortality. ’

The girl took off her beret, saluted the bones, and then turned back to leave, but the voice echoed in her ears again.

"Walking alone in the world, my heart is self-purified, without desire or desire, like an elephant in the forest... Interesting. 」

Surprised, she turned her head and glanced at the skeleton, and she found that in the moment she turned around, the skeleton's hand had reached forward, and a ring was lying quietly in the palm of her hand.

Dio stood still for a moment, eventually removing the ring from the skeletal palm, then she took out her satellite phone and dialed the contact information she had set up with Daria.

"Hey, hey?!Dior, are you alright?, you were babbling a few minutes ago that you saw some frozen city, and we were rushing to you. ”

"No problem, now on the way back... It's as if you haven't heard it. ”

He hung up the phone and put the ring in his pocket.
