Chapter 348: Stay or Leave
What did he go back for?
Will he be able to go back?
Don't forget, he hid here because he killed someone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And before this person, the case of corpse desecration was in an uproar.
With half of the Zerg blood in his body, how could he go back.
I really can't go back.
Not only could he not go back, but he also had to carefully hide himself so that others could not find out about his existence. Otherwise, not only himself, but also his mother would have suffered a huge blow.
It's better for him to be missing than for his mother to know that her son, who she had worked so hard to find, turned out to be a monster.
Nick paid attention, but his legs stuck there like two concrete pillars, and he couldn't move.
He was still looking out excitedly. It was dark outside, and he couldn't see anything, but he didn't know if it was his own delusion, and he seemed to really hear the sound of human breathing and footsteps.
Why didn't he go back!
If he doesn't hide, he'll be discovered!
And then everything is revealed!
Nick roared inwardly. But no matter how much he roared, he just couldn't move.
Soon, the sound of wading water really came. Some were swearing and complaining, and another was powerlessly appeased.
Nick's heart was beating faster and faster.
One of his selves really wanted to rush over and beg the two men to take him out. Let him go back to the earth, soak up the sun, breathe fresh air, never go back to this hellish place, and forget everything he learned here!
But the other self was grabbing his collar and yelling, telling him to quickly hide back.
Nick still couldn't figure out what to do, so he hesitated and watched the two humans get closer and closer.
The two Zerg were also in a hurry in the back.
The female zerg even broke through and uttered the longest and most complete sentence: "Are you going to abandon us!" ”
Nick was startled and quickly turned around and shushed her.
Then the distant man seemed to stop: "...... Did you hear anything? ”
"What's going on. Mouse! Let's go. I don't want to stay in this hellish place for a minute. Damn those bastards, it's okay to throw garbage down the drain. Such a wide sewer is not enough for them to block. ”
Then the two got closer and closer.
Nick's hand gripped the inner wall of the passage, tightening tighter and tighter, leaving five deep fingerprints on the inner wall that he didn't even notice.
"Are you leaving?"
The little boy Zerg asked anxiously. He's a little more intelligent than his mother, and he knows how to keep his voice down.
Nick bit his lip, and his lip was almost bleeding from him.
But he was so indecisive that he couldn't make a choice until the two men got closer and closer, and then went farther and farther along another fork in the road in the distance.
Until the sound of wading and talking died down completely, Nick let out a long breath and slowly sat down against the inner wall of the passage.
The two zergs cautiously leaned over. The little boy Zerg was cautious, but asked with a little joy: "...... Don't you go? ”
Nick glanced at him. As was customary, he still couldn't see the little boy's face.
But the boy's still warm breath sprayed on his face, so that Nick didn't feel like he was having hysteria, and imagined these two characters.
“…… You want me to stay? Nick asked.
Well, there's hair on your face again.
Nick reluctantly wiped the female zerg's hair from his face. Truth be told, he now regrets dying. Why couldn't he just be decisive and rush out and let those two people take him away?
Of course, this may not be a good choice. So he is still a little more grounded in his heart. Not because he stayed, but because he didn't have to face a choice.
"So, what are you going to do next?"
The female zerg asked cautiously and happily.
"I don't know."
Nick replied truthfully, then tilted his head, "What do you want me to do?" ”
The two zergs didn't answer, but their inner thoughts were enough to answer the question.
They wanted Nick to stay and stay with them. But as for where to stay together and how to stay together, these are the more important issues for Nick, and they can't think about them.
Nick chuckled, "Can I really stay with you all the time?" Am I a Zerg or a Human? Do you want me to be in this dark and filthy sewer for the rest of my life, or do you want to break out of the atmosphere and swim in space with you? If this were him, your son, would he die? ”
The female Zerg is in a tangle. Clearly, the answer is yes.
"That's it. I am neither a zerg nor a human. ”
Nick said softly, closing his eyes helplessly.
He's just a monster.
In fact, he knew he was a monster since he was a child. Humans have no memory of infancy. But he could vaguely remember a dirty trash can and the tattered sheets that wrapped around him. According to the account of the old man who picked him up, that's where he was abandoned.
When he was only four years old, the old man who adopted him died. He called him grandpa, though he knew very well that it wasn't his grandpa at all. After his death, all that accompanied Nick was the mist that lingered in the mountains all year round.
Castle Peak Cemetery is actually a cemetery on the verge of abandonment, and the administrators on it have long forgotten about it. Sometimes there is not even a single grave sweeper throughout the year. Nick, who stayed there, couldn't even tell the difference between the growth of age and the change of seasons. This place where the dead rest, like the real underworld, seems to have frozen time and blunted changes. Although it exists, it has long been left to a forgotten corner by the outside world.
So, how Nick, who has no food source and has never walked out of there, survives is self-evident.
It's just that in Nick's memory, he never found the memory of being forced to be helpless. He was just confused, vaguely feeling that this was not right. But since there is no other food, what is wrong with getting it from here?
And he has always been polite. After getting what he needs, he buries the rest. He didn't know why he was doing it. In addition to preserving the reserve grain, he always vaguely felt that this was the right thing. Although the bodies under his feet had lost their life, he always felt that they still needed peace.
It wasn't until Castle Peak Cemetery received a very rare tomb sweeper that it was horrified that the dirt bags here seemed to have been renovated. Then there were more people in the cemetery - not much, in fact - and he realized that what he was doing was not only wrong, but simply rebellious. (To be continued.) )
