75. Kai! The end of purgatory
Kai walked over to the Damnation booth with his toolbox in his hand, and he looked up at the night-like mech, and countless fragments of the past came to his mind.
The black smoke of the battlefield completely obscured the sky overhead, and the lonely neighing of horses and the lamentations of the dying man in his final struggle with the grim reaper. "I'm going to die today...... "The cold armor stuck to the broken limbs, and the great pain was gradually pulling away from the shell, which should be how people felt before they died.
There is no pain" thanks to God for His mercy. "I can't put my hands together, only the prayer in my heart is left, but I have obviously accepted death and no longer fear, but why...... The scene in front of me was blurry, and my throat was like a lump of cotton, "Cough... "Sweet blood gushed out of his mouth with a hoarse dry cough. The shattered chest rose and fell violently, "I...... I...... Don't want to...... Die...... Don't want to ......"
"Even the strongest souls will be cowardly when death strikes them....right....... the bravest warrior of the Knights of the Round Table of the British Empire 'Kai'......." There was a broken face reflected in the blood-red eyes in front of him, his sense of life was gradually disappearing, and he said vaguely: "My ...... King" "Arthur is dead, do you want to follow in his footsteps and accept Avalon's call or ....... accept the eternal life I have given you......."
Bucktooth! He's a vampire! Avalon's gentle call was already ringing in his ears, "I...... I ......" The blood-red color in the eyes in front of him was full of greed and killing, and at the same time, there was a faint arrogance that could not be beaten. "Eternal life" is full of temptation for mortals, and for a dying person, it can make the soul let go of all perseverance.
"The eyes that my king has never had, this is the pride of a life that can overcome time...... I...... I want to ......." his hand trembled and raised. The sticky fingers touched the red-eyed cheek, "Well, the pact is established, my brave knight, and you will follow me for a long thousand years to create an eternal dark empire." ”
The red eyes slowly approached, and he opened his mouth, his sharp fangs slicing through the arteries that were losing signs of life.......
Thousands of years have passed
"Kai, do you remember your age?" The Black Godfather asked. Kai following him: "Ignored for a long time. The Black Godfather: "It may seem like a long time to calculate, but it feels like italia is what it is now. ”
Kay: "Maybe it's because we forget faster, so it feels like time flies quickly." The Black Godfather: "Well, maybe, I don't know what the world will become because of endless desires. At this point, the godfather stopped, and Kai looked up to see that the object in front of him, almost three meters high, was blocked under a black rain cloth.
The Black Godfather: "Lust gives birth to darkness and sin, and the weapons of murder continue to change from imagination to reality. The Black Godfather's cane tapped the ground twice. The rainproof cloth falls slowly. The hidden objects are revealed. Kai looked up, and saw an all-black mecha standing in front of him.
His black armor was as bright as a mirror, and his appearance resembled medieval knight's armor. Kai looked up at the mecha for a moment, his mind was in a trance, and the sound of iron hooves and horns seemed to linger in his ears. On his left arm, there is a model logo of "PU-BCM-SL-L05". On his right arm were two fonts he didn't recognize.
Black Godfather: "He's a 'cyborg'. It is a new type of weapon developed by the Pacific Alliance after the war. Kai: "Biomecha?" The Black Godfather: I don't know how to explain the specific technical aspects. All I know is that this steel shell can be controlled with a human brain. ”
Kai said in a puzzled tone: "Can human consciousness control him? The Black Godfather: "I saw him experiment when I bought him from an underground arms dealer. If you can use it flexibly, it is like an extension of your hands and feet. If this weapon appears in the Steel War, it will definitely prolong the end of the war. ”
"He is the aggregate of human desire and killing now, the highest weapon technology of the present." "Kay." The Black Godfather's hands pressed on the crystal cane, and his red eyes were like a bottomless lake of blood, "I give it to you, hoping that you can use this top-notch killing machine to protect this family." ”
Kay: "Godfather. May I ask a question? The Black Godfather: "But it doesn't hurt to say that. Kai thought for a moment and asked, "Why did you choose me?" The Black Godfather narrowed his eyes and smiled and replied, "Because you will never betray me." ”
Kai knelt down on one knee at this time and bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Lord Godfather, for your trust in your subordinates." ”
Time does not stop for anyone
"Damnation" is the name that Kai only learned after receiving the mecha by translating the text on his right arm. "That's wurm, which translates to 'Heaven's punishment.'" "Oh." Kai felt the two square letterings on his armor.
The name is a 'deification' of this mecha, but in Kai's opinion, it means "God's punishment for himself", "Because of my cowardice, I made a pact with the devil, I abandoned the king who swore allegiance, abandoned the heroic spirits who went to Avalon, and wandered alone in the shadow of the world for thousands of years with the burden of guilt." ”
I have seen too much life and death and have long erased all emotions, and the body without emotions is just a shell, which is the punishment of God, the punishment of my king and the heroic spirits of Avalon. "The soul that died in my hands haunts me and makes me suffer night after night, death is a relief, but I must accept the punishment for the wrong choice in that moment, and live in this purgatory on earth for the rest of my life until I ......."
"Far away Avalon, will you summon me again?" Kai's hand rested lightly on the outer armor of Damnation, and he lowered his head as if in silent prayer. "Kai, are you alright?" Hearing a loud voice from behind, Kai turned his head, and Ranmalot asked with his arms folded behind him.
Kay: "I'm fine. Saying that, he walked up to the work bridge with his toolbox, and Ranmalot: "You're not tired, take a break, and no one is watching you here." Kai: "The enemy could attack at any moment. It is necessary to be combat-ready. Ranmarlot touched his head and said, "But those enemies are your companions who once fought side by side." ”
Kai paused for a moment and said, "I...... It's not the first time I've betrayed my companions. Ranmalot: "If I had lived as long as you, I don't know how many times I would have betrayed." Kai frowned and glanced at Ranmarott: "Why?" Ranmalot pointed to his chest: "Because I can't help but live as I like!" ”
Kay: "That's why you betrayed your godson?" Ranmalot: "Yes! I heard that he killed the family of the godfather of Corleone, and the godfather was my benefactor, so I want to avenge him. Kai: "But there's no solid evidence!" Ranmalot asked rhetorically at this time: "Then is it justified for you to betray that hairy boy?" ”
Kai was asked by him, but he didn't know and began to ask himself: "I also have no evidence, it's just because of my intuition, if my intuition is wrong then I'm Mafia's sinner." Lan Malote scratched his face at this time and said with a nonchalant look: "Look at your nervous appearance, even if what you say is a rumor that is wrong, so what?" This is a subjective choice I made, and I can't blame anyone for being wrong. ”
Kai suddenly realized at this time: "This is actually the second time that I have made a choice without the orders of others, the first time was when I received the blood of the devil, and the second time was in this time. "Why did I betray? To show my loyalty to the Godfather? To find out the truth? Or for yourself? ”
Kai said at this time: "I am a ....... ghost...... Is it possible to live by heart? Ranmalot: "What are you talking about, aren't you right here?" No one forces you. It's not your choice. To make your own choice is to be worthy of yourself, we humans often say, 'Life is short, live to the fullest'.
I'm afraid you don't understand the meaning, but I think sometimes making your own choices is something that only responsible people do, because it's your own choices that have nothing to do with anyone else. It also eliminates the need to blame someone else for a problem when things go wrong...... Don't you feel like it's fun? ”
Kai was still frowning: "Enjoyable? Ranmalot: "Actually, I really didn't expect to meet you here. Kai: "What?" Ranmalot: "You, who have always been Mafia's most powerful 'killing machine', have been able to raise the flag against you. You can imagine how unpopular that hairy boy is. ”
Kai: "Don't forget Jì and Lancelot's Cunzài. Ranmalot said dismissively: "Cut! He's just a sycophant. It's just grass on the wall. Kay: "So what do you think we're doing right or wrong?" Ranmalot: "The devil knows!" But because it's your own choice, there's nothing more than right or wrong, and there's nothing to regret. ”
Kay: "Do you regret it?" yes, because I chose it myself, I really don't have anything to regret. Even if I'm sorry for anyone around me, but I'm not ashamed, I used to want to live, but now I want to know the truth of the matter, and the reason why I always think that I have been tortured in an infinite life...... It's just that I 'regret'....... I actually have nothing to regret, because the ....... has already passed, so why bother to hold on to it! ”
The road ahead is the most important thing, even if you have to bear the guilt, you still have to move on! Kai leaned over to look at Ranmarott under the covered bridge at this time: "You...... Why are you talking to me so much all of a sudden? Ranmalot: "You've always looked like a machine that only listens to instructions, only a little bit of emotion just now. Kai asked seriously, "What did I look like just now?" ”
Ranmalot: "It's like a lost child." Kai looked at him in surprise, Ranmarlot proudly hugged his arms and said, "This shows that you are not only a killing machine, but also emotional," he said, pointing to the flame tattoo on his face and said, "Also, I am very happy to have someone who has the same tattoo hobby as me...... No, it's vampires fighting together, you can't fight other knights like you did, that would lose my face as you stand! ”
After speaking, Lan Malote waved his hand: "I'm thirsty, you can continue to work." Kai on the covered bridge looked at Ranmarlot's burly and heavy back like a bull and looked up at "Heaven's Damnation", and suddenly a relieved smile appeared on his face: "I haven't moved forward before, will this time be a start?"
