09 Dead Species (2)
"Yes, are you tired, you should be tired, you shouldn't be alive after doing so many wrong things. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The old man's words pierced Gerald's heart word by word, if he really did those wrong things, then he really didn't regret death.
The old man saw the confusion on Gerald's face, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued to pursue while he was victorious, picking up a porcelain bowl on the low table, the porcelain bowl contained half a bowl of brown liquid, turbid and thick, and the smell was a little pungent, the old man took the porcelain bowl and sent it to Gerald's face, "You don't know what is right in your heart now, but you have to do the right thing, let me help you!"
"Do you want to help me?" Gerald looked down at the bowl in the old man's hand, the brown liquid smelling from time to time, "What is this?"
"Your way of liberation!" the old man pushed the porcelain bowl in his hand to Gerald's face one more step, his expression a little excited, "Drink it and you will fall asleep, forever asleep." β
"But I'm not sure ......," Gerald hesitated.
The old man did not want to leave him time to think, so he interrupted him, "Drink it quickly, the whole process is fast and beautiful, you will not feel the slightest pain, no one will miss you, no one will mourn you, no one needs you!"
Gerald slowly took the porcelain bowl and stared at the liquid in it, he still had some hesitation in his heart, although he had done so many wrong things as the old man said, he didn't want to end his life so much. Looking at Gerald's wandering, the old man seemed to be very anxious in his heart, and urged him to drink it again, "Drink, drink it!"
The more anxious the old man wanted Gerald to drink, the more Gerald doubted his behavior, and in the end, before he could decide, he was suddenly filled with an extremely cool feeling, as if he had encountered an iceberg in the lava, and his mood suddenly became clear, and all illusions in front of him disappeared.
Gerald opened his eyes, and what he saw in front of him was not the kind old man, but a very old xenomorph, very tall and thin, with a skull wrapped in a layer of skin on his face, and ten slender fingers with ten tentacles at the tips of his own brain. Gerald's eyes glowed a slight scarlet, and he narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to sweep away the tentacles of the dead species, and scolded, "Stay away from my head, monster!"
The dead seed pulled out his tentacle and looked at Gerald's eyes with fear, the dead seed had lived for many years, so old that he had forgotten to speak, so no one knew what he was afraid of, only that he ran away.
When the xenos who were standing on a high vantage point saw that Gerald had passed the test, the audience let out an exclamation, and Ethan, the leader of the Light Clan, announced in his hoarse voice, "He successfully passed the test, and I'm sure everyone has seen it." Then he looked at Gerald below with a friendly smile, "Kid, you can choose your side now!"
Gerald looked around at the xenos who were watching him play tricks and sneered, "I choose...... Myself. As soon as this sentence appeared, it caused the audience to boil, and the two leaders of darkness and light never expected such a development, "I don't belong to the light, but I don't like darkness either, so I don't join anyone." β
Rick on the side was surprised, but also sighed in his heart for his courage, looking at Gerald, he ignited a trace of interest, "This is really a peculiar xenomorph, and there has never been a xenomorph who dares to make such a choice in such a form!" and Helsing, who saw the overall situation clearly in a dark corner, saw that Gerald was safe and sound, and his heart was also relieved.
The test is over, but this matter is far from over, the two leaders of light and darkness avoided everyone and came to the closed room, Sandra was the first to speak, very impatient, "Can we kill him now, he passed the test without training, what kind of person is this, and he is still a free man now, and walking around will expose our existence sooner or later." β
"But he didn't expose himself! he passed the test without training, which shows that he is really not simple, until we figure out who he is, let's keep him!" Ethan saw Sandra's objection and stretched out his hand to stop him, "I didn't say not to kill him, but I didn't rush to kill him at this time, and it was a wise decision to keep him." β
ββββββI'm a gorgeous dividing lineββββββ
After the xenotrauma, Gerald was released, and since he didn't remember anything and didn't belong to the Dark Light, he was naturally handed over to the people who brought him back, namely Helsing and Rick.
Rick and Gerald walked side by side on the road, these two people are tall altitude, Gerald is handsome, Rick is a blood clan, needless to say, the two of them walk on the street It is a landscape, so that passers-by can't help but take a few looks, absolutely handsome, but at this time both of them are preoccupied.
"I guess I've been released, right?"
"Maybe!" Rick said as he put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked seemingly aimlessly, "but it's not unconditional to release you, you can't leave evidence of human discovery, you can't get in the way of xenomorphs, and you must not leave this town, the elders need you to stay where they can see, or the old diehards will send troops to kill you." β
"Okay!" Gerald's eyes were some of the so-called elders during the test just now, all of them were gray-haired and on crutches, and they were walking a little tremblingly. Thinking like this in my heart, I must make my position clear, "But they can't have me, I will never choose between darkness and light!"
Hearing Gerald say this, Rick's eyes were very excited, and he praised it, "Courageous, I like it!" Then the excited look disappeared again, and there was some worry in his eyes, "Since you have entered the alien world, you have to abide by the laws of the alien world, but you do not belong to the light or the darkness, in this area, I don't know how you want to live, you go back to the blues with me first, and discuss with the old man Hai, after all, he is also an elder, maybe there is a way." β
Gerald arrived at the Blues late at night, was taken away early in the morning and only now released, and all he knows about the Blues is a name and a medieval building, and the concealment of it is not clear, and there is no chance to see what the Blues look like under normal circumstances.
Rick took Gerald into the blues in the first real sense, and at the same time as entering, almost everyone's eyes in the blues were focused on Gerald, among these eyes, there were disgust and envy, disgust and admiration, and one after another did not shy away from shooting, which made Gerald's heart a little hairy. "Why do they all look at me like that!"
Rick turned his head to look at him, with an idiotic look on his face, "You made such a big deal in the test, do you expect you to be calm, your status as a free agent has caused a stir in the xenoworld." But don't worry, the blues are neutral, it's full of xenomorphs, and no one will do anything to you, as long as you're still in the blues. β
Gerald looked around, and the gazes of these people made him a little annoyed, "But the way they look at me is not completely neutral!"
