Chapter 173: Leaving the Country
The young man's eyes lit up at that moment, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing blood-soaked teeth, and he said slowly and extremely gently, "I didn't want to leave you. β
The river fog swelled like a school of piranhas smelling blood, swooping down on Gala's back, drowning her in the blink of an eye.
By the time Gala realizes something is wrong, it's too late.
Yu Su walked slowly through the thick fog, and glanced at Gala as he passed by her, and that look was a mixture of sarcasm, mockery, and a little smugness that was hard to hide.
"At the beginning, it was me who led Ning, who had the mark of a butterfly, to the back mountain." Yu Su put his hands behind his back and said, "I wanted to make friends with him, but you killed him." β
Gala stared at the creature of her roots through the mist of the night, and each felt a familiar aura from the other.
Yu Su was also born from a cave, but his body is really strange, like a fish swimming underground, as long as a certain liquid can reach the place, he can be unimpeded.
But at the same time, in the outside world, which is cut off by the river, Yu Su wants to go out, but it takes a lot of thought.
Gala gritted her teeth and said, "You just want to encroach on his body......"
Yu asked rhetorically, "What's the difference with you?" At least he won't be as upset as he is in your hands. β
"What the hell do you want to do?"
"I'm very good to my friends," Yu said, "Didn't I say that I have a lot of empathy for people, and I'm different from you." β
He looked down at the young man, who was almost completely covered by the thick fog, and smiled, "I'm just..... It was just a fulfillment of his wish. β
Decades after the young man's death, Gala finds a new replacement and awakens him.
This time, she made a horrific discovery that it was not a thousand mirages that had been awakened from the man's body.
It's youth.
ββββββ
After the youth was awakened, Gala stayed in the illusion for a hundred years.
She searched for a way to resurrect the mirage again in the illusion, but to no avail. Gala's understanding of the river, the rules of the place where she was born and raised, was no better than that of Su, and she didn't even know what Yu Su was doing with the youth behind her back, so she replaced her mirage.
A hundred years ago, Yu Su almost died at the hands of Gala, and after he escaped, Gala stayed in the illusion, and it was only after a hundred years that he followed the traces to find Yu Su.
Yu Su smiled and said: "Now even if the child in my hand is brought out, it is not a mirage, why do you think clearly like this and are willing to come out?" β
The scene in the illusion will be repeated, and the period of time between Gala and the Mirage will be repeated, if it can't be seen anywhere, although it will continue to repeat the event of the death of the Mirage, but the time when the Mirage died was actually only two days. After Mirage's death, Gala fell into hysteria, and the false calm of the past was shattered, and Yu Su didn't like the scene that followed, and the scene he simulated ended here, and the day of Mirage's death came to an end, and the day Gala and Mirage met again.
The time in the illusion is actually much more wonderful for Gala than the outside world, and sometimes Yu Su's proprioceptive consciousness leans out of the ground and sees Gala sitting in the courtyard of the mirage, without saying a word for a long time, with a slight smile on her face, and she can't tell whether she is happy or sad, just sitting like that.
Even if Gala doesn't move, it won't have any effect on the operation of the illusion, the hem of the clothes is long spread on the ground, the hem of the clothes is contaminated with the aroma of herbs, she sits quietly in the courtyard, looking particularly demure, the green leaf vine climbed up her shoes, and the pink and green flowers bloomed, Gala didn't seem to be aware of it at all, Yu Su went to see her again after a long time, and saw that the green leaf vine was gone, and Gala seemed to change her position, someone was still sitting in place, but her eyes were no longer firmly fixed on the moving mirage.
She just sat like this, as if she were a herb rack in this courtyard, a beautiful and inanimate utensil, different from all the people who came and went in the courtyard, and gently and resolutely, perhaps even subconsciously, stripped herself from this illusion.
Yu Su looked at Gara's beautiful and lifeless face in the moonlight, and wondered what the hell was she holding onto?
This person who has the same root as him, and in human terms, can even be regarded as a half-sibling, but it is only different from the way he was born, can there be such a big difference?
Why did this naΓ―ve, almost stupid person, receive the love of others, go to the wider world, and meet more people, and why did she cling to someone who only taught herself when she was first born?
Doesn't she have feelings for other people? Could it be that she has never softened her heart for the optimistic and obedient Ning, and she has never had a trace of heart for the paranoid youth?
She seems to be a natural believer in the world, pure, simple, desperate, cruel and violent without distractions.
Before Mirage could teach her to become a normal worldly person, she died early, so Gala stopped at the moment of Mirage's death, no longer willing to look at anyone, no longer willing to accept anything new.
Yu Su thought that Gala would not leave the illusion again, after all, she could pursue the resurrection of the mirage to the point of unscrupulous means, and now that the possibility of the resurrection of the mirage was completely gone, it would not be strange if she indulged in the illusion.
Who knew that only a hundred years later, she walked out of the illusion again and came to Yu Su.
Gala said coldly, "Don't you have it in your hand?" β
"How can this be?" Yu Su laughed, folded a slip and finished writing, no need to open his mouth, someone opened the door with low eyebrows and walked in, and immediately went out after receiving the paper, silently, without Yu Su's more instructions.
Gala frowned and glanced at the man strangely, and said, "At the beginning, you asked me to keep his blood and bones, so you let me live and not move my body, and now my body is still there, so naturally I will abide by my credit and continue it well." β
It sounded like that, and in just two sentences, an infant child had been brought in, and Gala stared at the child, but did not reach out to pick it up.
The child was melted with blood and bones shortly after birth, and will only grow into the appearance of a thousand mirages in the future, no, to be precise, the youth and the thousand mirages have the same face, and the one who wakes up after waking up will only be the youth.
"You can score clearly," Yu reminded him, "even if this child wakes up, it will not grow into a mirage." β
Gala whispered, "I know. β
"And what do you mean?" Yu Su crossed his legs with interest, changed his posture and asked, "Have you figured it out?" Even if it's not a mirage? β
Instead of answering him, Gala asked, "Where are you going now?" β
Yu Yu paused, smiled and said, "Where are you going?" Naturally, go to a place where you can survive. β
"Do they live, or do you live?"
These words made Yu Su's originally lazy drooping eyelids suddenly lift, and his tone was aggravated and asked, "Huh? β
"I've been wondering why you're thinking of going out," Gala said, "and even if you explain it by your nature, it doesn't make sense that you have worked so hard to find your people and spent so many years leading them. β
"I do things for my own people, and I have to speculate?"
"I have the same root as you, don't you just cut off my life and force me to cooperate with you?"
Yu Su laughed: "How can this be considered forced, in the end, it is your own decision." β
As he spoke, he leaned back and smiled with an herbal tea.
At that time, Gala was actually unable to stop Yu Su from going out, and she watched as the river mist automatically avoided Yu Su's body, and had already separated him.
This river and the barren realm are one, and they also have the same will, Yu Su cannot leave the barren realm, firstly, he wants to separate from the body, and secondly, after he is separated from the body, he can no longer get out of the river mist.
Back then, the tribe was able to leave this place completely because of the protection of Gala, otherwise these people would probably not be able to leave for the rest of their lives.
After the young man's death, since Yu Su no longer worries about his human appearance and leaving this place, he began to think about the ontological matter. If Gala is angry and attacks his heart in a hurry, and directly catches his body in a fit of anger, then Yu Su will not be able to use any more schemes.
Yu Su simply let go, leaving the choice to Gala.
Either Gala left his body and he left the youth, or the two of them died and Gala killed him, and the youth had no chance of resurrection.
Although it was a gamble, the most useful chip in Yu Su's hand at that time was still the illusion, as soon as he died, the illusion was broken, as long as Gala could not let go of the last chance to see a thousand mirages in the illusion, he would not do anything to him, and the youth was just another layer of insurance.
Therefore, when Gala comes out of the illusion, it also means that Yu Su needs to make a new assessment of her psychology to ensure that she can ensure her own safety.
But I didn't expect Gala to be figuring out herself.
Gala propped up the table next to him with one hand, leaned over and stared at him, her eyes were bright and cold, retaining the inorganic substance that Yu Su saw in the illusion, and half-ringing Gala suddenly smiled slightly: "I have been thinking about this when I was in the illusion, and I have revisited Si's manuscript from beginning to end, and finally I seem to remember some things." β
She glanced at the subordinate who was standing with the baby Anshun in her arms, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, slowly got up, picked up the child with one hand, and took off the baby's shirt with the other hand under Yu Su's gaze.
Ignoring the child's crying, Gala turned the child around and showed a certain part of the child's body in front of Yu's eyes.
It was a green vein that stretched out from under the thin black hair on the back of the head, as if it was constantly beating with life, and at first glance it was terrifying.
Yu asked, "What do you mean by that?" β
"It's not interesting," said Gala, "and it's useless to do anything now." For Mirage, it no longer makes sense. β
"So, I decided to take care of you."
