265. The pain of suffocation
That wisp of remnants wandered the world, making the last nostalgia, but not knowing where to go, just kept walking, thinking that she was still alive until she disappeared completely.
Maybe he didn't dare to get too close to her, for fear that she wouldn't even give him the last distance, just like the first time, when she saw him, she ran away. Even if he died, even if he was a wisp of remnants, she was so afraid of him, maybe she hated him.
When Xi Yao was still alive, death had been pulling her, and when she was dead and became a remnant, death had been guiding her. It's just that she doesn't know that she has come to the end of her wandering all the way - the Soul River.
The soul river is deeply attracted to the remnants of the world, giving them the final guidance for the confused, such a demise has long become their yearning in the underworld, because the lonely remnants also want the last home, even if the place that completely swallows them, they are also deeply tempted by this mission.
Xi watched her step out of her legs and step into the dark waters of the Soul River, she waded step by step, her face showed a long-lost smile, this time, it had nothing to do with sadness, nothing to do with her unfortunate love, nothing to do with him, she accepted the baptism of complete extinction, and made the final redemption and repentance for her life.
Her smile was like a dagger stained with poisonous juice, piercing into Xi's heart. He knew that the remnants would eventually perish, but this was the first time he had witnessed such a process. For the deceased, this is a real honor and relief, but for Xi at this moment, it is like experiencing a struggle drowning in a sea of suffering.
Xi's fingers clenched tightly, he was hesitating, hesitating to go against the sky to stop her demise, there was nothing he couldn't do, only something he hadn't tried, there were countless sins he carried, he didn't miss one more. But at the moment she seemed very happy, yes, because she was about to be liberated, to say goodbye to this impersonal world.
He wanted to keep her, even if it was her shattered outline of nothingness, he was still so selfish.
But if he stopped, would she be happy? Even if she forgave him, she could not be resurrected, and would she be willing to remain with him in the form of a remnant? He did not dare to ask her, he was afraid that she would cry, just like in Goss's dream, she cried so heartbroken and so desperate.
"Ahh
When people are born, they come with the sound of weeping, which means that life begins with sorrow, so when it ends, it must also end with the sound of crying, and end with sorrow.
"Ahh
"Don't ......" Xi's heart was like a knife, and a tear slipped down his fair face for the first time, except when he was born, he had never cried, so in his own impression, there was no concept of tears.
He knew that when people cry, it is when their hearts are about to suffocate, so how many times has this stupid woman who often cried endured heartache?
"Ahh
"Just be selfish, I still want to keep you. Xi said and rushed forward, he stepped into the dark waters of the Soul River, he was a living man, it didn't work on him at all, but when he walked to her, he couldn't touch her, he could only watch her cry and scream in pain, he couldn't do anything.
"How can this be? how can there be something I can't do......" Xi was puzzled, his heart twitched violently, he cried like a helpless child, he was the god of death, but he couldn't save her, he couldn't stop her from suffering. His fire could not burn the dark waters of this Soul River, and his sword could not cut through the dark waters of this Soul River.
"Xi Yao...... Xi Yao ...... "It's the first time Xi Yao has called Xi Yao's name, he used to always call her a "stupid woman", but now he is so scared, it seems that there is nothing left except her name and her little connection.
"Ahh
Xi's hand passed through the remnants again and again, and he couldn't catch her. It turned out that death was not at all different from what he imagined, it was not simple at all; it turned out that the pain of death was not just a moment when the sword was slashed, and finally it was in the dark waters of this soul river; it turned out that watching people die and struggle in pain did not bring him joy and pleasure, on the contrary, it brought him more pain and suffering, because this person was the woman he loved, and he was helpless, and he could not even give him companionship.
"Xi Yao...... Let's go, I beg you, get out of here, Xi Yao ......" Xi pleaded, he couldn't touch her, he couldn't take her away, maybe she could run away by herself, but she couldn't hear his voice anymore, she couldn't see him. The dark water of the Soul River deeply attracts the remnant, even if it is painful, it still makes the remnant deep in it, just like Xi Yao at the beginning, even if it hurts to love, but he can never not love him.
"Do you want to save her?" asked a woman standing on the banks of the Soul River. When the woman came, the young man in the soul river was so focused on the remnant that he didn't notice that a person approached.
"Are you kidding me?" Xi was exhausted, his eyes were painful and sad, looking at that woman, even he couldn't do it, what kind of thing was that woman?
"Who knows, don't you want to give it a try?" asked the woman calmly, glancing at the suffering remnant, and added, "but you know that you can't save her completely, and all you can do is to eliminate her present suffering, in other words, to make her die sooner." ”
Faster demise is just to avoid the suffering she is suffering now, is this also a choice? Xi looked at Xi Yao, even if it was a wisp of remnants, she was also the woman he loved, how could he bear to watch her in such pain, his voice was tired, because he was unwilling, "What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to self-destruct your thirteenth rib. The woman looked coldly at the silver-haired boy in the dark waters.
Losing the thirteenth rib is the loss of the identity and power of the god of death, just to exchange her for a faster death?
"Sure enough, they were tricking me. Xi looked up at the banks of the Soul River, more and more people stepped forward, waiting for him to destroy the source of evil, these people are all people of the God Race, people who have not been killed by Xi, they are naturally afraid of death, and it is reasonable to make such a request.
In such a situation, he self-destructed the thirteenth rib, leaving no way to live. Whether it's Xi Yao, he can't be resurrected, or Xi Yao, if he loses the power of death, how can he fight with so many people of the God Race with a flesh and blood body?
"Death is evil, will he agree?" asked the man next to the woman in a whisper.
"Huh. A sunny smile appeared on the corner of Xi's mouth. He once told Ying that he was hell, and that perhaps one day, he would also desire death. Is this the day?
Under the bright smile, the slender fingers pierced into his body, and the blood penetrated the white clothes, dyed the white hands, and there was a "click", and then there was a bloody rib in the flat palm.
"Will he fool us? If not, we won't be able to kill him at all, we will have to die ourselves. The man asked quietly.
The woman looked at Xi's body and replied, "No, that position is the position of the thirteenth rib, you see his wound, it has not healed until now, if he is still a god of death, the speed of healing, we can't see the wound and his bleeding at all." ”
A blue flame ignited in the palm of his hand, wrapping the rib.
"Wait a minute!" the woman shouted.
"Did I give it to you?" asked Xi mockingly.
The woman was afraid of her hands and feet, and proposed, "Throw the root of that evil right in the middle of the Soul River!"
"Hehe, so scared, you still want to kill me?" said this, but he did it anyway, because he didn't want to hear Xi Yao's cry more, and he didn't want to look at her who was suffering.
The people on the riverside watched the thirteenth rib fall into the middle of the Soul River, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Because it is the deepest place, where the most complete destruction power is condensed, and nothing can not be swallowed up by the dark waters there.
The crying stopped abruptly, and the remnant died instantly, leaving no trace, too late to say goodbye.
"Hehe, you have to pay the price for tricking me. Xi quickly spun two strands of intertwined blue smoke in his hand, and the two Ji Twin Spirit Swords gradually generated, and he waded through the dark waters of the Soul River.
The people of the Protoss have also waited for this day for a long time, they want his life, there is no doubt that now he is no longer the god of death, why be afraid?
On the banks of the Soul River, for the first time, a killing was launched, blood splashed, swords and swords lit up the shore of death, the moonlight did not shine into the heart of hatred, they all looked forward to Xi's death, they resented his evil, feared his power, feared his breath.
He is no longer the god of death who presides over killing, but someone who has to live for a certain belief in his heart. To the people outside, he is still an extraordinary Protoss, but for these Protoss people who want him to die, he is just an ordinary person, a weak person.
"Suffer death!" the woman yelled at the silver-haired boy, who alone had thrown the Protoss in chaos, making the living fear that they would be killed by him at any time, while the dead were afraid that they would still be the corpses of his sword after reincarnation.
"What to do, I don't want to die yet, then, you guys will die!" said Shu and rushed at the man who was glaring at him with his sword.
Such a tone, such an aura, in a trance, makes people have the illusion that he is still a grim reaper.
At the same time as Xi Yao disappeared, Xi caught a glimpse of a strange phenomenon, the woman by the river was very strange, she lowered her hand, and he saw a slender thing peeking out of the woman's sleeve. Where did this woman come from with such great ability to control the remnants? Not even his Grim Reaper!
It can only be said that the remnant is not a real remnant at all!
This is what Xi means when he says that he will pay the price for tricking him after the remnants disappear. But he wasn't angry, which meant that the remnant wasn't Xi Yao, and she might still be alive. He didn't see her, how could he die?
