Chapter 448: The Difference Between Humans and Zombies
Night, Castle, Candlelight, Zombies......
All kinds of elements like in a horror movie make the atmosphere of the restaurant full of horror, solemnity, and sadness. Coupled with the fascinating story, immortality, zombies that live on blood, and a forbidden love with a tragic ending, it is like a curse, and people can't help but sigh that fate makes people!
"Perhaps, everyone got the point wrong. At this time, Xia Yang, who rarely spoke, suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, everyone immediately shifted their attention from Riley to him, and Ma Xiaoling was even more stunned: "What is wrong?"
Xia Yang's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and said with an indifferent smile: "The reason why this story has become a tragedy is not because that man is a zombie, nor because he shouldn't fall in love with that woman, but because of human greed! Those thieves are here for the tears of angels, and people die for money, and birds die for food, which is a universal truth in ancient and modern times, and wealth is moving, even if that man is not a zombie, the thieves will kill all the people, and the wedding is a tragedy in the end." So I think at least at this point, it has nothing to do with that man, what do you think?"
After hearing his words, everyone in the hall fell silent. Indeed, as Xia Yang said, the bandits killed people not because the man was a zombie, but to snatch the Angel's Tears.
Riley didn't expect Xia Yang to have such an opinion, and couldn't help but look at him tightly and said, "In this way, Mr. Xia doesn't think it's wrong for the man who turned into a zombie?"
"Of course yes, we can't just push everything on him just because he's a zombie, it's not fair!"
Xia Yang said calmly: "Whether it is a human or a zombie, or a legendary fairy and monster, as long as it is a wise creature and has feelings, it has the right to like a person, and that man naturally has it." β
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoling couldn't help but retort: "You are a crooked reason! People and zombies should not be together at all, otherwise how could that man bite the person he likes?"
Xia Yang looked at her and shook his head slightly: "We should try to think about the situation at that time, since that man knows that he is a zombie and wants to marry a girl, he must pay a great price, with his feelings for that girl, if it is not a last resort, how can he bite that girl?"
"As a last resort......" Guo Tianyou seemed to react and guessed, "What do you mean?"
"Not bad. Xia Yang nodded and said: "According to my guess, that girl was injured by the bandits at that time and was already in danger, and after the man killed all the bandits in a frenzy, he came to his senses, and saw that his beloved woman was about to die." Therefore, in order to save the life of his beloved woman, he had no choice but to bite her. β
"Ah......" Wang Zhenzhen suddenly realized and said in surprise: "It turns out that the reason why that man bit his fiancΓ©e was actually to save her life?"
"It's ridiculous!" Ma Xiaoling glared at Xia Yang and refuted: "Zombies are originally capable of sucking blood, how dare you guarantee that he is here to save people, not to go crazy?"
Xia Yang shrugged his shoulders, didn't argue with her, and chuckled: "Okay, then I'll say it another way." Ladies and gentlemen, if you are that zombie, and now your favorite person is going to die in front of you, and you only have two choices, one is to let your beloved die or the other is to bite him, what will you choose?"
Hearing his hypothetical question, everyone froze.
After being silent for a while, Wang Zhenzhen looked at the situation around her and said, "If it were me, I think I would have bitten her." β
"I won't. Guo Tianyou shook his head and spoke, but when Wang Zhenzhen's face turned pale, he continued: "I don't want my beloved woman to become a monster, if this really happens, I would rather die with her." β
"God bless ......" Wang Zhenzhen was extremely moved when she heard this.
Living and dying together, for a pair of lovers who love each other, it is equivalent to making an unswerving covenant to death.
As for Ma Xiaoling, she was entangled, she just opened her mouth and said the word "I", but the following words couldn't be said no matter what.
At this time, a rhythmic sound of footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside the restaurant, from far and near. Just when everyone was surprised, the door had been pushed open, and what greeted her was an English girl in a wide cloak, who looked only about twenty years old, that was eternal solidified youth, frozen by time, with a sweet smile on her face, she actually said in fluent Chinese: "Welcome!"
"Shiya?" Riley's face changed instantly, and he said in a daze, "Why are you here?"
Looking at Riley, who walked quickly in front of him, Shi Yajiao said angrily: "Riley, why did you invite so many friends to come and not notify me?"
Then, she greeted Xia Yang and the others: "Hello, I'm Riley's fiancΓ©e Shiya, it's a pleasure to meet everyone." β
Everyone hurriedly got up, and Guo Tianyou smiled a little unnaturally: "Mr. Riley, I thought that you were the only one living in this castle, but I didn't expect that there was a hostess." β
Shiya smiled: "Yes, he is usually the only one, because Riley likes to be lonely, and I can't help him." I wanted to surprise him tonight, but I didn't expect to see so many guests. β
Seeing their expressions, Shiya couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why do you all have such expressions, isn't Riley telling stories to be scary?" Then she glanced at Riley and said with a smile: "Did you tell that zombie story again?"
Riley's face was extremely unnatural, and Shiya then saw Wang Zhenzhen, who was holding Guo Tianyou's hand tightly, and couldn't help but step forward and smile: "This young lady is really beautiful!"
Wang Zhenzhen glanced at Guo Tianyou, and said a little shyly: "My name is Wang Zhenzhen." β
Shiya smiled with a little envy: "Miss Wang, when I see you, I know what happiness is in this world." It's enviable to have a man you trust hold your hand and take care of you when you're scared, and if only Riley did the same to me. β
"Mr. Riley, it seems that Miss Shiya is very dissatisfied with you!" Xia Yang smiled indifferently.
The corners of Riley's mouth moved slightly, and he said very reluctantly: "Maybe I'm too withdrawn, I often make her unhappy, and I used to do something that hurt her heart, so she has been angry with me all the time." β
"That's congratulations. Xia Yang smiled slightly and said, "I once heard someone say that how much a person loves you, when you break her heart, how much you hate you." People who hate you can often prove how much she loved you in the first place, and I think Miss Shiya is the same. β
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and Riley couldn't help but tremble, looked at Shiya in a daze, and then nodded slowly: "Yes, I only understand now, it turns out that she really loves me, thank you, Mr. Xia." β
"You're welcome. Xia Yang smiled, looked at Shiya again and said: "Miss Shiya, in fact, Mr. Riley also loves you very much, if he is really a withdrawn person, when he is willing to give up this loneliness for you, open his heart, and change everything, it means that he really loves you!"
"Really?" Shiya turned to look at Riley and smiled nondeniably, "It seems that I blamed him." β
The dinner finally ended with Shiya's arrival, and as it was getting late, Shiya immediately beckoned them to rest in the room of the castle, and she returned to their room with Riley.
Looking at that familiar face, Riley was silent for a while, perhaps it was Xia Yang's words just now that gave him a trace of courage, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Shiya, give me a chance, believe me, for so many years, there is only one person I love the most, and that is you! No matter the past fifty years, or the next fifty years, or even a hundred years, I will not change." β
Shiya also looked at Riley, staring at her former lover, and couldn't help but say: "Me too, I love you too, you are my first man and last man." β
The two of them gradually got closer to each other, and just as the two were about to kiss each other, Shiya pushed Riley away violently, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "But I have changed, in the past fifty years, I just hate you more and more! I'm coming back this time just to show you what kind of monster you've turned me into!"
......
In another room, Xia Yang stood silently in front of the window, looking at the dark night outside, thunder and lightning, quietly feeling the sad, depressing, but also full of fearful atmosphere.
Then, there was a sudden knock on the door, and he said without looking back, "The door is not locked, you can come in." β
As soon as the words fell, I saw Ma Xiaoling and others pushing the door in, except for Wang Zhenzhen, who had already fallen asleep, everyone else came.
Ma Xiaoling stared at him tightly and said, "Mr. Xia, listening to what you said in the restaurant just now, you seem to know a lot about zombies?"
The room in the castle was very large, and after Xia Yang beckoned them to sit down on the sofa, he smiled faintly and said, "Compared to ordinary people, I know a little more." Why, do you want to know about zombies from me?"
Guo Tianyou smiled: "If Mr. Xia is willing to say it, we will naturally listen to it." β
Xia Yang smiled, and instead of answering, he asked, "Let me ask you a question first, can any of you tell me what is the difference between humans and zombies?"
Tianyou and Jin Zhengzhong were stunned, while Ma Xiaoling looked at him deadly: "The biggest difference between humans and zombies is that people don't need to suck blood, while zombies do!"
Xia Yang couldn't deny it, then smiled again and asked, "Does that person need to eat?"
Ma Xiaoling's tone froze, but Jin Zhengzhong couldn't help but say loudly: "Isn't this nonsense? People must eat, or they will starve to death?"
Xia Yang said with a smile: "Zombies suck blood, just like people need to eat, it is all out of nature and instinct, the only difference is that zombies are stronger than people, which is actually the same as humans eating other living beings." β
