Chapter 2: Life Without Love
That's impossible! How could my father and mother leave me? That monster is definitely lying to me!
When Jia Luo, who had been in a coma for a long time, woke up, it was already morning, and he looked at the sky with his eyes blank: "Am I dreaming?" Monster, I know you're nearby, I know what you've done to my body. If you hear what I say, come out quickly. β
Feeling the warm sunshine, Jarrow felt a little cold lying on the ground, and his clothes were already dirty, and he didn't wait for a response. When Jarrow sat up, he noticed something strange, and that was that he felt all overwhelmed: "I don't know what's going on, but it's a good feeling." At this time. Father should be tending the sheep, and I need to go back and clean the sheepfold. β
Feeling that he could return to the village, Jarrow made it to the village gate, and before that, he tried to pull off the mask, but was unsuccessful. When the two children who were playing saw the dirty Jarrow appear, they hugged them tightly and panicked: "Ah! Monster! Big brother, why isn't this monster dead yet? "Brother, what are you talking about? If he is a monster, how can he die so easily! Brother, come with me. β
The screams of the two children alarmed the nearby villagers, and after they left in a hurry, the villagers who came out of the house ran back to the house as if they had seen a ghost when they saw Jarrow. As for the people who lingered in the path, they were frightened and picked up everything around them to defend themselves from, even gravel. Jarrow is usually not treated well by the villagers, but he has not encountered such a situation.
He just turned 16 years old before yesterday, he has been longing to leave the village, but at this time he no longer has this thought, the outside world makes him feel uneasy like never before, even if he returns to the village to continue to be counted and disliked by people, he is willing to continue to stay in this remote village, he wants to be quietly with his parents.
Looking at the gathered children who kept throwing gravel at him, Jarrow was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?" Even if you don't want to see me, then there's no need for that, right? I'm sorry, but I still have to go home and clean the sheepfold, and please stop throwing stones! β
"Hmph, how the hell did you monster survive? Forget it, no matter how you survived, you don't want to go back to your broken house, get out of the village! "It's ridiculous, Jarrow, it's all this time, how can you still have the heart to clean the sheepfold? Speaking of.. That sheepfold in your house stinks, or we'll take you..! β
A child, who was still desperately throwing gravel, was hugged by a woman: "Bala, why do you say such things again?" Anyway, he's from our village, even if he's a freak. β
Jarrow, who no longer used his arms to resist the rubble, was angry: "Auntie, how can you say that about me? My grandparents died suddenly on the day I was born, and I was just as sad when I learned about it, but it wasn't my fault! Why do you keep calling me a freak about this? I repeat, I'm not a freak, my name is Onassis Jarrow, I'm the son of Onassis Brie, I'm from Wheat Village, I've been all my life, why haven't you been waiting to see me? β
That's right, Jarrow was not treated well by others since he was a child. Whenever he walked more than 50 meters out of the house, children would throw rubble at him. As for the adults, they were cold, and they had been trying to get rid of the family by deliberately not having contact with the family, but this was stopped by the village chief.
Jarrow's home is a long way from the village gate, and the roof of the old house often leaks when it rains. At night, rats that start foraging for food tend to the house, and Jarrow's parents have never been able to solve these two problems...
When he finally came to the door, Jarrow was covered in injuries, and he held back the pain and said with difficulty: "Mother, I'm back." Jarrow had never thought it would be so difficult to go home, and he just wanted to find a place to sleep after being beaten up. Jarrow, who smelled the faint stench, looked at the sheepfold not far away, and just as he subconsciously picked up a broom, a woman who ran out of the house hugged him.
"Jarrow, my child, I didn't expect you to be alive! Mother is very happy, it is good that you can come back. These wounds on your body... Does it hurt? "It doesn't hurt at all, mother, where's my father?" The woman in the apron wept with joy, and Jarrow was equally happy to see his mother. However, it didn't take long for a discordant voice to break the warm atmosphere: "Jarrow, last night.. What happened to you? How did you get back? β
The woman who was wiping Jarrow's face was upset: "What's the matter with you? Don't you see that our children are hurt? Go get the potion! Standing in place, Jarrow said seriously: "I'm sorry, father, I couldn't clean the sheepfold in time, I hope you don't get angry, I'll go later..!" The purple-haired man who raised his left hand responded coldly: "Are you still my child?" β
What does Father mean by this? Of course I'm his baby! He shouldn't be sick again, right? It's strange why didn't my father bring those sheep back? That's an important asset for our family, and we can't afford to lose it!
"Father, what are you talking about? Mother, I'm fine, don't you keep ..? Jarrow, who finally noticed something different, saw his chin wearing a dark blue mask through the reflection in the basin, he saw a black tattoo on the left side of his face, and he suddenly felt extremely painful when he tried to tear the mask: "Take a closer look at your current appearance!" β
Why is my father pressing my head? Am I just getting that weird tattoo? And of course that weird mask! But I didn't do it, someone definitely did it while I was sleeping, could it be the monster? Or is it a prank by those little kids in the village?
Well? How did my hair turn black? Father, are you so angry because my hair is like this? Yes! It's so painful, why can't I speak?
When the unconscious Jarrow came back to consciousness, he saw a familiar sight, and Jarrow who was tied to a wooden post felt humiliated like he had never felt before: "Burn him this monster!" Since the demon can't get rid of him, we're going to set him on fire!" I don't believe he can survive this time! β
Seeing a pair of familiar faces appear around, Jarrow, who couldn't speak, confirmed that his parents were not there: It's great! Father and mother, you are the best for me! I'm sorry, father, but I let you down. When I wash my hair, I believe I will be able to turn back to my original purple hair!
Am I going to die again? Wait, what did I die of? Forget it, it doesn't matter! I don't want to be burned to death by them! Mother, you wait for me, I'll be... Well? My head hurts! What's going on?
The village chief with the torch saw that Jia Luo was struggling: "I'm sorry, Jia Luo, we owe you something, I hope you don't hate us." Only when you die, can it be calmed ..! β
When Jarrow regained his strength, he saw that all the people around him were dead, and he struggled to see the fire just lit, and finally he broke free from the ropes. Looking at the stunned eyes of the people who fell to the ground, Jarrow finally saw the last thing he wanted to see: "Father, mother, wake up, are these all caused by me?" β
More than three months later, Jarrow came to the edge of a towering cliff with a nervous breakdown, and he looked at the bottomless cliff with blank eyes: "It's been more than three months, and the person who died because of me inexplicably... Almost two thousand people, as for the creatures .. Countless! Really.. Those people were right, I was a monster! I haven't eaten in three months, but I'm still alive, I'm not a monster, what else can I be? β
"Damn, it's definitely the fault of the mask, and of course the monster! It hasn't been seen since that night, where the hell has it gone? β
Kneeling on the edge of the cliff, Jarrow was heartbroken: "I'm sorry, father, mother, I killed you!" I've had too many lives on my shoulder, and now... Let me pay you back with my death! β
Just when Jarrow was about to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, four extraterrestrial meteorites fell from the clear sky, thinking that God had come to punish him, Jarrow gladly accepted it, and the four fiery red meteorites fell to the cliff he was on in an instant...
