Chapter Ninety-One: The Story II
When he heard his adoptive father's words, he remembered that the servant had said that his father was going to kill him with a spike, and he had already believed that his adoptive father must be intending to kill him. When the blood flowed from his body, he felt as if he was about to lose his life, and he begged his adoptive father: 'Father, I know that I am not your child, but please have mercy on me, do not kill me, and send me to my biological parents.' ’”
"'Son, I am your father, how can I harm you? You must have listened to the gossip, but those who spoke were uneasy and kind, and you should not believe anything that came out, and you should bark like a dog. I am your father, and that will never change because of anything. When the adoptive father had said this, he told him to stay on the tower without attracting attention, and then he locked the door and left. ”
In this way, the night was confined in the tower, and almost everyone in the family was glad for it; The adoptive mother was reconciled to his adoptive father, his brother's eyes were healed and no longer deteriorated, the servants no longer worried about bad luck every day, and occasionally talked about the night, saying that he must have been killed by his master—only one servant's daughter, Akiko, still remembered him. ”
"Akiko is Night's best friend, the two used to play games together, even when others were alienated from him, Akiko still played with him, although her father often scolded her and told her to stay away from Night, but she didn't listen to her father."
After being confined to the tower by her adoptive father that night, she cried several times when she heard that she had been killed. She couldn't believe that Ye was really dead, but she didn't dare to ask Ye's adoptive father, because the master had the right to kill the servant, and she was afraid that if she asked, she would also be killed. She didn't know how to help her friend, so she kept her worries about the night in her heart and prayed to the god every day that he would live safely. ”
"Fold, is that why no one came to save me? Even Mom and Dad ...... Gave up on me. ”
I don't know when, Rito's face was already full of tears, and he heard the moral of my story, and soon he couldn't cry.
I paused and didn't answer, just continuing the story: "Akiko was a clever child, and after a while, she found that her master often went out at night, and brought food and clothes with her. After a long time of hesitation. One day, she finally made up her mind and quietly followed her master when he went out at night. She followed her master to the remote tower, hiding under the old door outside the top door of the tower and eavesdropping on the voices inside. ”
"Soon, there was a terrible scream from inside, and Akiko immediately recognized that the owner of this voice was Ye, and then she was shocked and frightened in her heart, believing that it must be the master who was torturing Ye and wanted to kill him."
"If no one helped him, he would have been killed. And I was his only friend, and if I didn't help him, who else would help him—with that in mind, the girl was determined to help Night escape. At night, when her master had left, she immediately found an axe and cut open the locked door. ”
When she entered the top floor of the clock tower, she was stunned to see that the room was covered in black, dried blood, and there was no friend she knew well, only a monster covered in black spikes. She screamed out of fear, and when the monster called her name and came to her, she was so frightened that she raised her axe and slashed at him, several times, before she dropped it and fled. ”
She didn't expect that her demeanor would be the final blow that destroyed Night's sanity. Night endures unparalleled pain every day, and he always thinks that if there is one person in the world who wants him to live, it must be his best friend Akiko, so he endures it and only hopes to see her again one day. ”
He didn't know that Akiko had come here to save herself, he just thought that she was planning to kill herself, thinking that she had been betrayed by someone else again. Despair crept through him, and his heart became twisted—since everyone wanted me to die, then I must live, not only to live, but also to take revenge on all those who cursed me, ignored me, and tormented me, and made them suffer the same pain. ”
The power of the calamity heeded the hatred in his heart, and thousands of shadows turned into his servants, rushed out of the tower, killed Akiko who had no ability to resist, and rushed into his adoptive father's house, devouring them all. Night walked out of the tower, and he laughed at the sight of destruction and death, and even when someone came to him and pleaded with him, he did not spare them. Under the deception of white lies and the misunderstanding of gossip, he became an evil ghost, killed the people who loved him, and destroyed his own shelter, and there was no way back. ”
Even if the story ends here, my heart can't help but be full of complicated thoughts, this story was not conceived improvised, but had an outline long before this, and now it seems that it is somewhat similar to what happened to the people, and I don't know if it is providence, or because I have a premonition that this scene will appear.
"Those who insult others out of jealousy, slander others because of gossip, and reject others out of fear...... There are also those who lie because of their love, and those who hurt because of friendship...... Although they have all made mistakes, are these mistakes really worth turning into evil spirits and then rewarding them with killing and destruction? ”
I sighed, wiped away the blood from the corners of my lips, and stretched out my hand to the weeping Rito, and said in a very sincere tone: "Liren, I said I would help you, but I didn't do it, but it was not a lie, I just couldn't fulfill my promise for various reasons. Your father and mother not going to look for you is not just a betrayal - at least the feeling that I want to help you now is not false, and I don't know if my kindness will cause you to be hurt, or what the impact will be. Even so, I still want to help you, are you willing to accept my help? ”
Liren cautiously took two steps forward, but stopped again, he bit his lip and shook his head sadly: "But...... I've killed someone, and the adults won't let me live. ”
"It's okay, I'll definitely help you! Even if no one in the town likes you, I will help you find a way to live outside the town and do my best. ”
What I say is not a lie, and it is not impossible to help the man to cover up his existence with credibility. In fact, I'm pretty much sure that the children who disappeared are handled by the Board of Education, so there's no need to use trust on everyone in the town, just erasing the matter of the person from the minds of the main members of the Board of Education, so that he can get a glimmer of life - I comfort myself with this, but in fact, I don't know the bottom in my heart, after all, whether the effect of faith can work on adults with magic powers, this is something I haven't been able to confirm yet.
"Really?"
He looked at me with a look of hope, and his very immature face was full of uneasiness.
"Of course."
I gave them an affirmative look and a smile on my face, as I had once faced those who asked for help from me, giving them confidence with confidence.
"Fold ...... Clearly...... I hurt you just now...... Thank you...... Fold...... Thank you...... And, I'm sorry! ”
As if the gloom and knot in his heart were dissolved, the boy whimpered, but his face showed the same shy and shy expression as before, and he bowed his head in embarrassment and apologized, then straightened up and looked at me with longing eyes, and moved his steps towards me.
"It's okay."
I couldn't see anything unusual in his expression and demeanor, and I was sure that he had indeed gotten rid of the negativity, and I was relieved.
"Fold, tell me the rest of the story later."
Rito approached and cautiously raised his hand, but retracted halfway through, and wiped his clothes several times before reaching out again to take my hand. I looked at him with a smile, stretched out my hand and waited for him to shake it, and finally a smile finally appeared on his anxious face, which was extraordinarily innocent, full of vitality and thirst for life, and was so dazzling under the bright stars in the sky.
I was distracted by this, and I didn't even notice the shadow behind him for a while, and when I realized it, I subconsciously trembled my lips: "Little ......"
The voice was still on my lips, and a dull and ominous sound had reached my ears, and the petite body that was already close in front of me leaned forward weakly, and staggered between an arm's length and me, and the smile on that immature face condensed, and it was frozen forever.
The scarlet liquid gushed out in my sight, forming a dazzling blood-colored rainbow bridge in the air, and each drop of liquid refracted an incomparably brilliant color in the starlight, as brilliant as a ruby, as round and smooth as a red pearl, and at the same time connected like silk threads, thick and glued like "pigment".
I saw a few drops of scarlet "paint" splashed on that familiar face, the corners of her lips outlined a curve like a crescent moon, as if revealing the joy of her mood, and the red hair fluttered unrestrained, like a scorching cloud of fire, as if it were more dazzling than the stars in the sky.
With a dull sound of "flutter", the splashed "paint" also splashed on my face, and the moist feeling was in an intermittent and irregular line connecting the right corner of the eye to the left collarbone, which was originally just a warm feeling, but in an instant it was as hot as molten iron, and even gave me a kind of heat with life, as if it was seeping into my body in a trace, and then continuously turning into flames from the inside, and then igniting my whole body.
"Why ......"
I forcibly endured the feeling of nausea and dizziness that swept through my body almost instantly, and stared at the "yarn" closely, while she just lowered her head and stared at Rito who was lying on the ground twitching slightly, as if she had found something, and the rough handleless short sword floating next to her suddenly drooped, stabbing into Rito's body on the ground, and then pulling it out and stabbing it again...... It was repeated back and forth a dozen times in the blink of an eye, and then the short sword fell to the ground with a "click", turning into a fine cloud of fine sand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Okay, dead."
She clapped her hands as if she had done something insignificant, and then raised her head and looked at me with a nonchalant look, her radiant eyes revealed a smile, and her lips trembled when she was wet with a little scarlet blood: "I said it, because I am also a demon." ”
The horizon in his eyes gradually blurred, and the night sky, with countless stars hanging high, flipped back and forth as if collapsing, and the starlight was pulling into the shape of silk threads in circles. I felt my breath burn, and as I wiped the blood from my face with my hands, I could feel the blood trickling from my mouth and nose like a stream.
Prompted by a strong feeling of vertigo, I took a step back and sat down on the ground, breathing hard in the cold air in an attempt to calm my body. But the brain, which seems to be about to explode, flies through countless scenes like a marquee; Under the strafing of machine guns, the crowd of people burst out one after another of blood, thousands of people cried and fled, and a large number of people turned into bloody corpses, a beam of fire in the sky fell straight down, and the swaying tail flame dragged a pale trajectory in the air, and finally the firelight exploded, and the expanding white air waves and blazing white light covered everything, leaving a charred corpse on the ground......
Explosions, tears, slashes, assassinations...... Countless images rushed through my mind like a tidal wave, and I couldn't speak, I couldn't think, so I could only crawl forward unconsciously, to the tattered corpse of Rito, and reach out to touch his body.
However, as soon as his hand touched his clothes, his body wrapped in clothes seemed to turn to ashes...... No, more completely than that, it overflowed like air. The clothes and trousers, which had lost their support, hollowed down and flattened on the ground to form a lying figure.
I opened my mouth and reached out in disbelief to stroke the dress and pants back and forth, but there were only a few holes left on it, and all the blood that should have been left was gone. After proving it for a while, I suddenly remembered that this might be done by "yarn", and I looked up at her, only to find that her face was tense and pretty, and she was also staring at the clothes that had been worn by the person on the ground, and her eyes flashed with thought.
"Why...... Will it be? ”
The voice that came out of my mouth was jerky and hoarse, and it was extremely unpleasant, but I didn't have time to pay attention to it, and instead stared at "Sha" closely, hoping to get an answer from her. However, instead of answering me immediately, she folded her hands behind her back and walked in circles around a few pieces of clothing.
"It turned out to be dead a long time ago, I said how could it be possible to be frozen for so long and still be alive."
She circled around her clothes several times before she stopped and looked at me with a complicated expression: "Should I say that it is an illusion, or should I say that it is a misalignment between consciousness and time and space, so it can remain...... This kind of thing should only exist in fantasy and legend, but I didn't expect to see it in this situation, I guess it's a miracle. ”
"Original...... That's right. ”
In a trance, I saw a faint black dot appear on Rito's clothes, and a large, life-like soft color like the night emerged from the black dot, "she" sighed faintly, floating in the air and stretching her body for dozens of feet, and then lowered her head to me as gracefully as a human form: "Ain, thank you for giving me life again, Nitina will always follow your wishes." ”
The voice echoed in my ears, and this absurd and uninhibited scene became the last scene in my vision.
