Volume 1: Shadow Rising Interlude: Titled Real Life

I, where?

This was the first thing Glenn Brown thought of when he woke up, his eyes were very uncomfortable from the dim light, and he tried to get up straight from the bed where he was lying, but the bandages around his body did not allow him to do so.

"Waking up so quickly was a little bit of a surprise to me. A deep male voice came from the bedside.

Glenn remembered the voice clearly, and perhaps he would never forget the voice that belonged to that man for the rest of his life.

"Is it Number One?" Glenn looked sideways, only to see the man's back in a black robe.

"Remember me?" the man was slightly interested, "I thought everyone but those two had forgotten about me, but I didn't expect you to remember me." ”

Of course I remember, bastard! Glenn's eyes flashed with a complicated look, if it weren't for the man in front of him, that tragic scene could have been avoided during the entrance exam, and he wouldn't have to bear the notoriety of "ghost".

"But you do remember me. The man's tone was still calm, but Glenn could tell that he was aware of what was going on in his mind. "Winter may have discovered your talent, but I am the one who really made you. ”

That's right, you're the one who made me a tool to kill!" Glenn roared inwardly, but his face pretended nothing had happened.

"It's nostalgic to think about what happened when you took the entrance exam, so many years have passed. The man continued.

If it weren't for the fact that he was seriously injured, Glenn would not hesitate to do his best to kill the man in front of him, but now he couldn't move, and for the first time he felt so useless.

"I don't need your pretenses. Glenn gritted his teeth and uttered a word. "Your hypocrisy makes me feel disgusting, relying on that false kindness, in fact, it is just to win people's hearts, and a guy like you is the most disgusting. ”

"Hey, hey, hey. There was a smile in the man's words. "I'm the benefactor who saved your life when you were about to be killed by that man named Ye Xiang, shouldn't you thank me?"

Sure enough, was this man who saved him? Glenn actually knew the truth from the moment he recognized him, and with that man's powerful ability, he could have saved his life at that critical moment.

"I won't say thank you to you. Glenn replied with a blank face, "Never, you remember that for me." ”

"You really hate me. The man's tone was very relaxed, but this relief was a great insult that Glenn felt. "Well, if you hate me, I'd rather you hate it forever, after all, this is the path you stick to choosing. ”

Glenn didn't even want to talk to him, he writhed with difficulty, but all he answered was a strong tingling sensation.

"You can't move yet, that man's Yan Emperor is a powerful ability that even I think is superior, whether it is the destructive power of the flames or the speed of the attack, it can be called one of the strongest soul seals I have ever seen. I saved your life, but unfortunately it was a little late, so you have a lot of burns on your body, so it's better not to act rashly. ”

Did the man do it on purpose? Although Glenn himself thought the idea was ridiculous, he still had this question in his mind. After all, if it was the man in front of him, he would do no matter how bad it was.

"That's the end of the gossip. The man continued, but never turned his head, "I'm curious, why would the strongest man among the Hunter Triumvirate, known as the Dark Puppeteer, lose to someone who has almost no strength?"

"So that's what you want to know. Glenn said in a mocking tone, "I didn't expect there to be something you didn't know, but it was surprising." ”

"Hey, hey......" The man actually smiled with his back to him, and the laughter made Glenn feel particularly harsh. "I don't know, that's why I want to ask you, after all, only those who have fought with him can know what it is. ”

"Then I'll tell you. Glenn stared at the dim oil lamp hanging above his head and said, "Because that man has human feelings, I lost, not to that man's abilities, but to what he had in his heart." ”

"It's really interesting. The man was clearly interested. "When did human feelings become so strong, people with feelings are weak, and only people like us who erase their feelings are the strongest existence-"

"No!" Glenn interrupted, "you don't understand that they are real human beings with human feelings, and that feelings can bring out the potential of human beings and even create real miracles. ”

"Do you want to deny everything you have received? ”

"I do envy them. Glenn doesn't shy away from admitting this, "People who have feelings are truly alive, and if they lose their feelings, they will be like me in the past, and I can only huddle in that darkness." Without feelings, we are only living falsely, and there is no future at all. ”

"Your insights are interesting. The man finally got up from his seat, but left his back to Glenn. "You're not one of us anymore, you've betrayed our creed, you've denied everything about us, you're no longer a hunter. ”

"Really?" Glenn felt like he had never felt so relaxed and happy. "So then, are you going to kill me right now, to purge the traitors of the Order?"

"I'm not going to do that. The man calmly replied, "You have found your own way, and I will not stand in your way." But remember my advice to you, people like you can only live in darkness, and there is no place for you in the light of the earth. ”

"I don't care, I've decided that I want to get out of this darkness and regain my human feelings, and I'm going to find my true life. ”

"Then good luck. The man said as he walked away. "I've got all the medicine and bandages you need to change here, and no one knows about it but me, so you can rest here first, and then go and find the real life in your mouth." ”

The man's figure vanished at the end of the darkness, and Glenn suddenly felt the urge to be grateful to him, but he quickly dismissed the thought, reminding himself that the man could not be trusted.

"Looks like I'm really going to say goodbye to you. Glenn looked around the dimly lit room and said, "It's a shame that I can't hide in the dark anymore, but that's it." For the first time, he smiled heartily, "I'm finally really alive." ”
