Chapter 99: Staying alive (6)
"I'm the same kind of person as you?" Zhao Gao covered the wound on his shoulder, struggled to get up, leaned against the pile of corpses of the killers, bared his teeth and smiled, "No, no, no...... I've never been the same kind as you, I'm human, and you're just a monster, a monster who can't find a home. ”
"Where do people like you go?" Sean squinted at Zhao Gao and smiled, "From the first time I saw you four years ago, I knew that you and I were the same thing, have you ever looked in the mirror?" There is a mad bloodthirsty beast buried under your eyes, and you dare not let it out because it will ruin everything for you. I used to stand far away and look at you...... At that time, I wondered, could this young man be my kind? ”
"If you want to find me, then you can send me an invitation and invite me to tea." Zhao Gao spit out the blood in his mouth, "Why do you need to make such a big battle?" ”
"No...... No. Sean shook his index finger, "I want to see the beast you keep in your heart, and if you don't dare to release it, then I'll help you release it." ”
Zhao Gao was silent.
"So I decided to ruin everything for you." Sean smiled, "The so-called king is the lonely man on the throne, and when you have nothing, it is when you are the strongest." ”
Zhao Gao slowly raised his head.
"Look at the world, look at the city, the whole world will be yours if you want to!" The old man stood on the edge of the rooftop and raised his arms and shouted, he laughed hysterically, "As long as you give up those insignificant burdens, you will be invincible, you will be omnipotent!" You will be king, you will be gods! ”
"Sounds like Mephistopheles' persuasion." Zhao Gao said lightly, "Tell me that as long as I sell my soul to you, I can get everything." ”
"Faust?" Sean rubbed his chin, "Can the demon king and the devil be the same thing?" ”
"You know what I'm thinking right now?" Zhao Gao asked.
Sean raised an eyebrow.
"I've been thinking about how I can kill you, I've been thinking about this question for four whole years, every day, every night, every minute, and every second, but never have I longed for it so much as now, don't you want to see the beast in my heart? If I let it out, it will pounce and tear your throat, drain your blood, and tear you to pieces. Zhao Gao paused, his voice was steady, but anyone could hear that he was suppressed...... Suppressed the hatred that pierced his heart and bones, this hatred tormented Zhao Gao for four years, and every time he woke up from a nightmare, he felt that the little stammer had just died in front of him.
The man squatted in front of Zhao Gao and reached out to pinch his chin, "It's a pity that you're not strong enough, you were a little ant when you met me four years ago, and now four years have passed, you are still a little ant, you haven't grown much...... Remember what I said to you? ”
"You have to overcome fear, you have to overcome pain, you have to overcome anger, you have to overcome sorrow, you have to overcome hatred, you have to overcome despair, you have to jump into the darkness, you have to jump into hell, you have to jump into hell, you have to jump into hell, you have to fight against hell, you have to fight against fear, you have to fight against pain, you have to overcome anger, you have to overcome sorrow, you have to fight against hatred, you have to fight against despair, you have to jump into the darkness, you have to jump into hell, you have to jump into hell, let the fire The man sprayed the smoke in his mouth on Zhao Gao's face, "Then you can be reborn like a phoenix." Otherwise, you'll always be a powerless bug. ”
For a moment, Zhao Gao seemed to be back four years ago, the same rainy night, the same enemy, saying the same thing, the poor girl seemed to be trapped in the hunter's lair waiting for him to save her, but he was as weak as four years ago.
"Do you want to kill me? Come on. Sean whispered against Zhao Gao's cheek, "I'm waiting for you at any time." ”
"All this is for you...... It's all just games. Zhao Gao said hoarsely.
Sean was stunned, and then laughed, "That's right, all this is just a game for me, this city is my playground, I am the final boss of this game, you are the brave one I picked, everyone else is an NPC, isn't the role of NPCs sacrificed?" Isn't that how the game is designed? Before dying, the sacrificial NPC instructed the brave to defeat the demon king, and finally the brave left alone...... No matter how many people accompany you, there will always be only one person who can come to the Demon King in the end. ”
"Me?"
"I'm sure it's going to be you."
"Can you stop talking to me with that old man's face?" Zhao Gao said, "Are you trying to direct my hatred to him?" As much as I hate that old fellow, you're my enemy after all. ”
The old man took a step back, and he struck at the center of his eyebrow, slicing open the skin, but no blood flowed, and then something horrific happened...... The old man inserted his hands into the wound on his face, and then jerked them apart to the sides! With a tooth-aching tearing sound, Maxwell Hugh Sean's scalp and face were torn in half, and another face was hidden under this skin, the tear extending all the way down, through his throat to his chest, and the naked young man crawled out of the crack, he was covered in slime, and the torn human skin was wet and spread on the ground at his feet, looking like a torn rubber raincoat.
But Zhao Gao knew that it was not rubber, and there was no such meticulous rubber holster in the world that could completely replicate human skin and hair. This is a flawless, very complete human skin, and no tanners in the world can make such a product.
"I thought there was only one ghoul in the whole of Shanghai." Zhao Gao said.
"Originally, it was one, but then it bred and you caught the young one." The young man stood on the ground, his old and dull voice turned into a young man's voice, he stretched, slowly moving his bones and muscles, his body began to shrink back at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he became a thin and delicate young man again.
The Colonel was of great stature, and he had to double his size when he impersonated it, and there was no need to maintain that size anymore.
The young man stood in the drizzle, his eyebrows and eyes were young and clean, even a little immature, he looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, as if the silkworm chrysalis had turned into a moth, and a new young life was reborn from an old shell.
"How now?" The young man had a smile on his lips.
It was the first time for Zhao Gao to observe this young man so closely, the latter looked no different from an ordinary human, he was even more beautiful than ordinary people, this young man's face was slightly feminine, clean and weak.
It's hard to imagine that such a harmless young man could be the biggest monster in the city.
"Why did you become a human form?" Zhao Gao asked.
"I wasn't like that a long time ago." The young man sat down across from Zhao Gao, "I've changed a lot of different looks, but in the end, I still think this one looks the best." ”
"Do hunters have an aesthetic too?" Zhao Gao grinned, as if he had heard a joke.
"What's the difference between a human and a hunter?" The young man said lightly, "I have seen humans, I have also seen hunters, in my eyes, you are all the same, in your mythology, God created human beings and all things, what do you think is the difference between you and other creatures in his eyes?" ”
"Are you like God?" Zhao Gao sneered.
"I am God." The young man stood up, "To you, I am a higher being that you cannot understand, and in your cultural context, this is God. ”
"A god with a twitch in the brain." Zhao Gao said, "We call it neurosis. ”
"You're almost recovering, aren't you?" The young man looked Zhao Gao up and down, "Once your strength recovers, you will pounce on me and fight hard, so I should go...... But I have one last question before I go. ”
Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows.
"You're a very smart guy and very quick to react, I want to know...... When did you first realize that I was an impostor? ”
