Chapter 58 (I) Experimental Objects
At the same time as the child pounced, Tang Shuxing rolled to the side and avoided it directly, but the child's speed was also quite fast, he didn't knock down Tang Shuxing, he immediately changed direction, and the whole person rushed over like a snake on the ground, Tang Shuxing waved his sword and subconsciously blocked it, the child was probably still a little afraid of the dragon blade, stood up and frowned at Tang Shuxing, and said word by word: "You don't want me to kill?" ”
"Nonsense! Are you sick? Who wants to be killed! Tang Shuxing stood there with a sword and said, "Who are you?" ”
"I am the god here!" The child roared, his voice becoming the same as that of an adult, and as he spoke, he was covered in flames, and rushed towards Tang Shuxing, opening his arms to hug him.
Tang Shuxing pointed the tip of his sword at the child, the child subconsciously stood still, and suddenly smiled: "Why don't we play a game?" Guess what, where is the key to get out and the key to get to the West Tower on the fourth floor? As long as you guess, I'll let you out and don't hurt you. ”
"I don't play this game, it's boring, you'd better hand over the key, I don't want to hurt you!" Tang Shuxing stood there with his sword in his hand, shaking the sword in his hand slightly.
The child frowned, sat down cross-legged and dragged his chin and said, "You're not fun now, you're not afraid of me." ”
"I've seen too many things like this, and your flame is fake, okay? There was no temperature at all, and I couldn't feel anything when I was near me. Tang Shuxing shook his head and said, "You just want someone to play with you?" ”
The child shook his head: "No, in fact, there are many people who play with me, but they are not sincere." They were just scared of me, so they just kept asking me what I needed and how I needed to play, and playing a game was always for me to win, so I had to threaten them with death, and if they didn't try my best, I would kill them. ”
Tang Shuxing nodded, but still did not let down his vigilance: "Then you are strange." Earlier you said I was not afraid of you. You're upset, but now you're saying it because those people before were afraid of you and didn't have fun with you. You just decided to kill them. I don't believe you can scare them to death by pretending to be in flames. ”
"My flame is real. Just now...... It's useless. The child stretched out his hand, and a flame rose in his palm, and he looked at the flames. This kind of flame can burn everything in the world except me, and they say it is heavenly fire. ”
"What? Who are they? What is Skyfire? Tang Shuxing immediately asked, not understanding what was going on.
"Who are they......" When the child was about to answer, his eyes flashed, and he asked Tang Shuxing with a smile, "Who are you?" Why are you here? ”
"I-" Tang Shuxing didn't know how to answer, he was afraid that his answer would make this child have other thoughts, because he felt very confused about what this child was, at least for now, it felt that this child was not a human being, at least not a normal person, belonging to the alien arts? A born purebred alien, or is this child an ancient human?
How can it be. So far, there are only a few ancient humans he knows, and they all have preserved their consciousness through special methods, and their bodies cannot be retained for hundreds of millions of years, could it be said that the child in front of him is just a phantom of consciousness?
"They don't like me, they don't like me, only they like me, but I can't see them." The child sat there and whispered.
Tang Shuxing was completely confused, he didn't know who "they" here were referring to? But it certainly can't be the same people.
"Why don't they like you?" Tang Shuxing slowly put down his sword, but did not take it away.
At this moment, the kid pounced again, his face was even more hideous than before, this time it really frightened Tang Shuxing, because this time he was unprepared, thinking that he should be quiet.
But this time, Tang Shuxing didn't raise his sword, but only took a step back, but he couldn't react at all, but at this moment, he was a little happy in his heart, because from this point he felt that he was a person, a living person, not a monster.
Tang Shuxing suddenly smiled, and the hideous expression of the child who was approaching step by step gradually disappeared on his face, he looked at Tang Shuxing's smile, and asked strangely, "You...... Not afraid? You laughed? ”
"I'm ......" Tang Shuxing organized the language in his mind for a long time, and then said, "I'm afraid, I was really scared when you pounced just now, but because I was scared, I was very happy, because I hadn't been afraid for a long time, even if I almost died many times, but I was not afraid, and I used to think that I couldn't die, but just now I was really afraid, I was only afraid in my head, nothing, do you know that feeling?" I think maybe you'll understand, because I'm not a human being anymore, I'm a monster. ”
The child looked at Tang Shuxing in surprise and nodded, "Are you the same as me?" What can you become? ”
Tang Shuxing thought about it and entered the state of corpse, and when the child saw it, he smiled and clapped his hands: "You are the same as me!" You see! ”
Then the child also entered the state of corpse, but it looked even more terrifying than the corpse appearance of Tang Shuxing, and it was completely indescribable in words.
Tang Shuxing nodded: "You, like me, are corpses?" Is that what you call it? ”
The child nodded: "Yes, but ...... But I became like this, it took a long time, a long, long time, a long time ago, I always failed, I couldn't become like this, no matter what medicine I took, or what potion I used, I was still me, and they didn't like me, they thought I couldn't do it, they thought I couldn't do it, they couldn't give hope to other people, so I was given up, but I wanted them to like me, so I started doing what they had done to me over and over again, but, you know, it hurt, it really hurts. ”
The child looked at Tang Shuxing pitifully, looking like he was about to cry, it seemed that he also thought that Tang Shuxing had become what he was now, and he had experienced the same thing as him.
Tang Shuxing nodded: "Just because you want them to like you?" Is that right? ”
"yes, because if everybody doesn't like me, then what's the point? Everyone doesn't pay attention to me, I'm not fun alone, I don't have anything, and they don't give me anything. The child's face was gloomy.
Tang Shuxing asked, "Who are they?" ”
"My dad and mom." When the child said this, he deliberately made a "what's the big deal" expression, but this expression was obviously far-fetched, because there were tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Your mom and dad want to turn you into a necrogen?" Tang Shuxing was surprised, what kind of parents can do such a thing, they are simply beasts, where is the reason to be willing to turn their children into monsters.
The child nodded: "Yes, if they fail, they will be deprived of a lot of things, if they lose these things, they will not be able to live, this is what they sued me, so as long as I succeed, they can maintain their original life, so that the emperor will not embarrass them, but then I became like this, but there are other children who have also become like this, so they are still deprived of power by the emperor, and from that day on, they blame me, thinking that it is all my fault, and I got this qiē too late." , so they hate me, stay away from me, beat me and scold me when they have nothing to do. ”
Tang Shuxing basically understood, judging from the child's story, this child should have lived in the era of ancient humans, his parents may have done clinical cadaver research, if their research could be completed, the emperor at that time would let them live well, but if they failed, they would be deprived. So they kept doing real things to the child, and after failing again and again, they may have shifted their goal, but this child, in order to get the attention of his parents, began to imitate the cruel things that his parents had done to him before, and finally succeeded.
Tang Shuxing can fully imagine what kind of pain this child has experienced in the process of self-realization, but it is the idea of making his parents like himself again that supports him to go on, who knows, when he is really successful, other corpses have already been born, and his abandoned real product is no longer important, so he still can't get anyone's attention.
"Who are your parents?" Tang Shu asked.
"Doctor." The child replied in a low voice, "I have forgotten what they are like, I haven't seen them for a long, long time, I haven't seen them since their failure in my realization, they are gone, I don't know where they went." ”
Abandoned by his parents. Tang Shuxing nodded, and suddenly Tang Shuxing raised his hand, and the child was startled, but when he found that Tang Shuxing came to touch him, he lowered his head obediently, but Tang Shuxing found that this child had no entity, and it was just a phantom of consciousness as he thought, and another form was stored in this tower.
"How old are you?" Tang Shuxing pretended that he could touch the child, thinking that this might make him feel better.
"Seven years old." The child raised seven fingers, "I can live independently anymore, I am not a child anymore, they said so." ”
"Who are they?" Tang Shu asked.
"The people sent by the emperor came to take care of me, but I had to do it myself, they wouldn't help me, I was abandoned, and I knew that even the children that my parents didn't like would not like anyone else." The child showed that "nothing remarkable" look again.
At this moment, Tang Shuxing saw that the child in front of him seemed to be his childhood self, at that moment, he suddenly felt a little sad, there was an indescribable thing surging in his heart, he wanted to hug the child, but he couldn't hold it, just like many times when he recalled the past, he always wanted to comfort himself loudly that it was over, but he also knew that it was useless, even if he could go back to the past and tell his past self, it would be fine in the future, it would be useless.
Because in an era, there will always be sadness that belongs to that era, lingering, and will always stay there. (To be continued......)
