Chapter 303: Despair of Sinking into the Abyss
I thought that she was going to say something about love with me again, because her attitude and those vague words just now sounded like she had been hurt and abandoned by her beloved, but now she suddenly mentioned sailors and cats, and I couldn't help but listen to her words.
The queen continued: "The sailors were very bored in their days of sailing, and all they saw every day was the endless sea, and the sky above them went from day to night, and then to the next day, day and night, and no matter how beautiful the starry sky was, they could see it too much, and it became a no-brainer, so at this time, having a cat to accompany them, and amusing them in their spare time, became the most interesting thing for those fellows to pass the time." ”
She babbled on and on, as if she were really a confidant and friend of mine, telling a legend from a long time ago.
"Cats who grow up on ships also have a natural affinity for sailors, helping them catch mice hiding below deck, rolling in front of them, and accompanying them to stand on the mast and watch out from afar......"
When she said this, the queen's eyes changed significantly.
I feel like I'm seeing...... Her dark eyes like an abyss flashed with starlight, and in an instant, it flickered.
"What happened later?" before I knew it, I took the initiative to ask.
The Queen's fingers rubbed back and forth against my lips, and the cold knuckles were like a piece of ice, freezing my lips almost numb.
She smiled, "Originally, the sailor and the cat got along very harmoniously and closely, they were friends, more like relatives on a lonely ship, relying on each other and relying on each other, and the cat even thought that his short life of more than ten years would always be so happy, happy until he died." ”
"Until one time, when the ship was caught in a storm at sea, and all the sailors tried their best to find the nearest land, they became abandoned children of the gods, and they had to face death, and at that time they made a ridiculous choice. ”
As she spoke, the light in her eyes suddenly vanished, and returned to its original dark color.
"Do you want to know, what did they do?"
"They...... Throwing the cat into the sea?!" My heart shuddered, and the sound that rolled out of my throat no longer seemed to be smooth.
The queen pressed her forehead against mine, smiled and pecked me lightly on the lips, "You are so clever, my lord." ”
Really, threw the cat into the sea?!
For some reason, when I received confirmation of my speculation from the Queen's mouth, I suddenly had a feeling in my heart as if something was weightless, and then it was heavy and depressed.
"You, you're the cat?!"
I looked at her in amazement, and I was dizzy with the shock of sudden realization.
In a trance, I saw her face, as if the phantom of a black cat appeared, flashing and flashing, and in those eyes, it was like a dark green wave churning by.
"The storm churned the heavens and the earth, and the sea was like a beast with its mouth open, and one wave after another swallowed up the ship, and they were so frightened that they hid on the deck and scurried with their heads in their hands, shivering, and I wanted to help them, but I couldn't...... I can't do anything but face death with them, but even so, at least we're together......"
When the queen muttered softly, the skeleton guards behind me suddenly seemed to move, although there was no way to see it, but from the sound of the voice, they seemed to be vigilant and ready for battle, and even the air in the whole hall became more oppressive.
I inexplicably had a familiar feeling in my heart, getting closer and closer to myself, as if that breath was wrapping my infinitely falling self, supporting me to float little by little.
The queen smiled coldly, "They're really fast. ”
"But what should I do if my story isn't finished yet?"
She seemed to regret it, waved her right hand, and heard a stampede, stomping, and the skeletal army on our right marched in the direction of the outside of the hall door.
"Don't be obsessed anymore......" I pleaded as I looked at her.
The queen was still smiling, as if what she was going to face next could not affect her emotions at the moment, but I knew that it was a kind of despair that only came after facing extreme sadness and pain, a deep, irrepressible, despair that sank into the abyss.
"Sorry family, listen to me finish the story, okay? In the past few hundred years, no one has been able to listen to me tell this story, and you are the first. ”
She grabbed my hand, and there was a hint of mischievousness and pleading in her voice.
I was silent, I didn't know what to say, and now my heart was on the sword mountain and the sea of fire, but in front of me
This queen has always been so deviant in her words and deeds that I dare not use my own cleverness to deal with her anymore.
Seeing that I did not speak, the queen raised her head slightly, looked at the window above and said to herself:
"A sailor caught me, and I thought he wanted me to stay with him, but ...... He even consulted with the other sailors to throw me into the sea, you know? When the ship is disoriented and in danger, the sailors throw the cat into the sea, and they believe that the direction in which the cat is fluttering in the sea is the closest direction to land, and these fools, in order to survive, dare to think of anything, dare to do anything......
Bang.
Outside the cabin, there was a sudden sound of something exploding, rumbling like thunder, each one more violent than the other, and the feeling of impact radiated from all directions, and even the hall seemed to have a faint tremor.
My breath almost reached my throat, and I couldn't concentrate on what the Queen had to say.
At this time, the queen also stopped, and she looked at me blankly, but for a moment, as if she had regained her cold and charming face, and looked very lost.
"You see, even you don't want to hear it anymore, I'm so sad, no one cares about me, they, and you, don't care about me......"
"It's not like that. ”
I hurriedly explained: "You must know that when people face unknown dangers and threats of death, many of their actions are out of instinct and fear, and they don't really care about you, I believe that there are people among those sailors who like you, and there are people who don't want to see you die." ”
Time passed, and these words pale in comparison, only to be exchanged for a sneer from the queen.
"Wrongdoer, do you know that since you entered the Exile City, I have taken a fancy to you, but hell is too dark and I am too lonely, so I will arrest you and let you accompany me...... You see, I'm the one who was abandoned and hurt by the sailors, and now, I'm hurting the people I like in the same way. ”
"You can do otherwise!"
I was so anxious that I shouted, "If you can let go of your obsessions and those hatreds, not only will none of this happen today, but you will also get self-redemption, right?"
"It's too late......"
She looked at me with a faint mist in her eyes, "It's too late for anything." ”
