Chapter 1474: The Beginning of the Cursed Night (32)

Man is always swallowed up by the abyss of his own creation.

When the black beast fell, Palamides looked at it with resentment. He wished it would disappear from his life and take away all the damage it had done at the same time. Although Palamides knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to turn back.

He looked at his wife, who had already lost his breath, at Segrade, who was dying, and his heart was swallowed by pain.

From that day on, he was separated from his wife, Renather.

From that day on, he kept blaming himself.

If he hadn't left that house that afternoon, and hadn't gone out for all that stupid military service, Palamides might have been able to stay at home and stop it from happening when the beast came to attack?

Or maybe he would die with his wife, under the claws of the beast, and not have to suffer alone?

"I'm sorry to remind you of this sad past. But that's not what I want. A voice came from the endless, distant sky, faintly so faint that Palamides, who stood there, could not help but think that he was hallucinating.

"Turn back the clock again. Pursue your deeper memories. The voice continued.

Then Palamides' eyes darkened, and his consciousness was swallowed up by the torrent of silence in a haze.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!"

"Chase it!Don't let that dead boy run away!!"

When Palamides came to his senses, he found himself running.

He didn't like to run, never did. But as a teenager, he had to run because there was a large group of people behind him with all kinds of murder weapons, and they were chasing him. He ran out of breath, his chest feeling like it was about to burst, and he was dominated by sharp pain from the inside out. Despite all the hard work, he had to run, and if he didn't keep running, what awaited him was death, and it was a tragic death after being beaten by **!

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" With his breath, the icy air frantically burrowed into the leopard man's airways and lungs. It's winter, and the sky gets dark earlier than usual in the dark areas, or the daylight hours in the dark areas are already very short. Therefore, the cold in this region is also extraordinary. Palamides didn't know why the humans were chasing him like this, he just stole a moldy loaf of bread from the floor of a shabby alley in a human town. However, this is the reality, human beings hate these orcs like a plague of hatred, even the smallest mistakes cannot be forgiven, and the orcs who committed the crime must be captured and beaten to death. They chased from the city to the woods, and in a barren dead wood, they haunted Palamides.

Because of the cold weather and hunger, the boy's physical strength was gradually exhausted, but the group of well-fed and clothed humans seemed to have infinite physical strength, and they couldn't get rid of it no matter what. As a child, Palamides gradually caught up, and the human behind him was only three yards away from him, wielding a meat cleaver and slashing as he ran. And Palamides was cornered—a cliff at the edge of the wooded area, and thirty feet below the cliff was a sea of sea. He didn't know how to swim, he had an extreme fear of water, and when he ran to the edge of the cliff, he couldn't help but stop in a panic!

"Haaaa The meat cleaver in his hand slashed down at the boy's back!

"Woo!" the leopard boy tried to dodge, but there was a cut in his back about an inch deep. The severe pain made him sober and made him lose his mind, he knew that if he continued to hesitate like this, he would definitely die a tragic death, and if he jumped off the cliff, there might be a glimmer of life!

He gritted his teeth and jumped!

The salty and cold taste of the Mediterranean sea instantly poured into the boy's throat, and then with the impact, the cold and sharp pain instantly grabbed every inch of Palamides's skin. It was a painful experience of a lifetime, as if the body had been evenly struck with a hammer, and it was a hammer made of ice!

The boy almost lost his meaning at that moment, but his strong will to survive told him that losing consciousness here was equivalent to death! He frantically paddled his numb limbs, fighting, fighting, and fighting again in this cold and penetrating torrent! Each struggle brought severe pain to the wound on his back, and each struggle brought him closer to death a little more, but it was also to make him raise his head to the horizontal plane, so that he could breathe in the air on the water, and keep him away from death a little more!

He didn't know how to swim in the first place, and he spent dozens of times more energy than ordinary people, just to fight for that precious breath of air; he was already tired and hungry, and he violently burned the last bit of vitality in his body, just to absorb oxygen, burn, and let his cold numb hands and feet continue to move mechanically!

Before he knew it, he learned to swim. Before he knew it, he swam farther and farther away, away from the danger, away from the ugly and ferocious human beings. Unknowingly, he survived.

When the leopard boy regained consciousness and opened his eyes, he saw that he was already in the cave, lying on a warm haystack, and there was a campfire burning violently beside him, and the heat baked the whole cave warm.

Another leopard-man boy leaned over and looked at Palamides, "Yo, my little brother. I'm glad you're still alive. ＂

"Philaeos" Palamides glanced at his companion and fainted again.

The world is full of suffering and injustice, and some people are born destined to be tormented, suffered, and discriminated against. However, being alive is not all bad. At least here, there are things that he can call family. At least here, someone will treat him like [a person].

So, no matter how painful it is, you must try to live.

Once again, voices came from the endless darkness of the distance, distant and near, ethereal and indescribable.

"Still not right. The voice seemed to sigh.

"If you don't get it right, there's no way to do it. The voice seemed to be grunting, "After all, that's a very distant set of memories. ＂

"I'm sorry. The voice seemed to apologize: "I'll find a way to make it up to you afterwards." But now, let me once again trace your most distant, deepest memories. ＂

He wanted to rebel, he didn't want to be known the deepest secret of his heart, even though he didn't know what that secret was.

No, perhaps he was vaguely aware that the secret was a secret that could not be known. An ominous premonition told him that once that secret was known, his world, his worldview, would be turned upside down.

However, no matter how much he resisted, there was something in the darkness that prevailed over his spirit and will. He fell into a groggy sleep, then waited for the next memory scene to wake up.

It was a long, long, long time ago. Even before he was sensible and had a clear memory.

A vague figure appeared in front of the baby.

"I'm going to get you here. The tall figure, accompanied by a deep voice. It seemed to be a man.

"Wu'er, please forgive me. This world, this world, can't accommodate people like you. Therefore, I will send you to the freezer and seal you. Two hundred years from now, this freezer will be automatically unsealed, and there will probably not be a single person in the world who remembers our original plan.

The Pandora Project was a huge failure and a great success at the same time. I didn't create the kind of super soldier they wanted, but I created you. You and your brothers, and your brothers' children and grandchildren two hundred years from now, they all have [free will]. And you, the most primitive and freest of them,

You are freer than anyone else. ＂

The unworldly white orc baby looked at the tall figure in front of him, his father's figure, with his large, bright, watery blue eyes. However, the man kept his back to the light source and couldn't see clearly anyway.

The man's warm, huge palm reached over and stroked the baby's face. As he stroked the baby, the baby's face began to deform, becoming like a soft dough, and it was no longer possible to distinguish between eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, leaving only two small slits of vision.

"This is my last gift to you. The tall figure whispered, "That way, in two hundred years, when you open your eyes and see the first creature, you will look like him." Your chance is only this once. But no matter what you do, your situation will be better.

Because what you have is [freedom] - absolutely, incomparably more [freedom] than anyone else. ＂

The baby didn't answer, he didn't even hum half a tone. Because he doesn't have a mouth now.

The lid of the cryocompartment began to close, and the chamber began to be filled with freezing liquid, so that the baby's vision became more blurred. Something dripped down and landed on the glass lid of the freezer compartment. It was also affected by the cold and began to frost.

"Goodbye, Wu'er. The tall figure's voice was gradually muffled by a trill: "I hope we will meet again in the distant future." ＂

"I just want to tell you" the tall voice began to carry the cryopod and transport it in a specific direction: "Among the countless experiments, you are the only one who is the true love between me and Pandora. We are here to bring you into this world with hope.

So--I will never allow anyone to take you, hurt you, take advantage of you.

＂

Poof!

With the sound of splashing water, the sound of the whole world was gradually swallowed up by the powerful sound of water.

The cryopod was thrown into a huge river and drifted with the water, drifting into the distance. The absolute cold that emanates from the inside out condenses the water of the lake around it into ice. The small chamber then became heavier and heavier, eventually sinking completely under the estuary before it could enter the sea.

He transcends time and space.
