Chapter 771: Love is also pain
From now on, it's a battle of your own.
No one can help them even in the slightest, no, they are not even in the same world as themselves.
Cheng Tiexuan observed everything outside through the transparent air, the extremely obvious black light had dissipated, and the world seemed to have returned to its original appearance.
But his hands couldn't reach it.
It's a glass cage, and although there is no sunlight like outside, there is air, wind, and ...... The breath of humanity.
Cheng Tiexuan stepped on another step, the steep steps lead from the ground to the sky, and the ground is by no means the ground in reality, and now he is floating in the world like an out-of-body soul, able to see everything in the outside world, but he can't touch anything.
This is the world that Shadow Fiend has created, the world in which he has imprisoned himself.
Cheng Tiexuan didn't regret it, and even now he had an extremely special sense of responsibility, he knew that Xie Ning in the form of a shadow demon was observing herself, not only that, but she was also observing the outside world, observing Qiu Wuyi, observing her friends, and taking pleasure in it.
So Shadow Fiend knew everything that was going on, including the fact that he had asked to be here.
But before seeing the Shadow Fiend himself, he could only continue to climb now.
Tianyi provided Cheng Tiexuan with a steady stream of strength, and no matter how many steps he climbed, he would not be exhausted.
After nearly ten hours, Cheng Tiexuan finally saw the appearance at the top of the steps.
"Oh...... There's a bit of her style. β
Raising his head and looking up at the indescribable black object, Cheng Tiexuan seemed to see Xie Ning who showed his true nature for the first time.
Actually, it wasn't a black object, it just didn't show its color in the too dark light.
In appearance, it was a large lump, or rotten flesh, in the form of an entirely organic matter, perhaps called the palace of the Shadow Demon.
Cheng Tiexuan is not afraid of these things, and he will not feel how disgusting they are, because when she formally proposed to Xie Ning back then, she had only one condition - now that she thinks about it, she still has a little palpitations.
Xie Ning asked Cheng Tiexuan to look at his corpse from beginning to end at the moment when he awakened his murderous impulse, and it started from hunting living people, Cheng Tiexuan agreed, and it was a long two hours.
In the end, Cheng Tiexuan felt that his spirit and soul had long been paralyzed, and even began to doubt whether he was a flesh-and-blood human being, and his sight, smell, and five senses of his whole body struggled in the sea of blood for two hours.
The corpse, flesh and blood, had become something as ordinary as dirt and stones in Cheng Tiexuan's eyes, and for a long time after that, Cheng Tiexuan felt that he was crazy.
But it was that day that Xie Ning responded to Cheng Tiexuan's feelings for the first time, and took the initiative to kiss Cheng Tiexuan, who was covered with blood, and of course, her own armor was also stained red by the blood of the broken corpse.
Cheng Tiexuan knew that this was the consciousness that he should have spent the second half of his life with Xie Ning, but it was after that day that Xie Ning's murderous impulse was miraculously lifted, and at the same time, his ability to recover grew wildly day by day.
Now that Cheng Tiexuan thinks about it, I'm afraid it's the influence of the shadow demon on the second half of the body's experiment.
"When I arrived, I can't wait, can't I come to greet you in advance?"
Standing in front of the rotten flesh-like entrance of the black hole, Cheng Tiexuan complained slightly, and resolutely walked into the entrance like a big mouth without teeth.
Beneath your feet is a soft ground that looks different from human muscles and is closer to the appearance of adipose tissue.
Because he saw Xie Ning peel all the fat from a person's body from his muscles, Cheng Tiexuan was already very experienced.
Similarly, the color of the ground is also yellowish in white, which may ...... It's really fat.
"Welcome, this is the first time I've invited someone to my abode, not even a fellow Primordial Demon. β
As on the previous occasions, Shadow Fiend's voice appeared in the confined space at the right time.
Accustomed to seeing the empty and savage world, the passage like a pile of rotten meat, although enough to pass through two elephants, still seems narrow, especially the constantly wriggling walls, they have a feeling that they are squeezing around, making the space seem even more suffocating.
"Should I feel honored, or should I take it for granted?"
Cheng Tiexuan smiled indifferently and continued to stride forward on the fatty ground.
Whewββ
The dim passage suddenly had light, and the First Demon may not be much different from a god to a human being.
Carrying small grains of light are fat tentacles, and the tentacles covered with fascia and blood vessels seem to be bloody, like organs that have just been peeled from a fresh human body. These tentacles grow on the walls and have a biological texture, and the countless tiny holes on the surface of the tentacles seem to be able to breathe on their own.
Such tentacles illuminate the passage and make the world around it even more bizarre.
"This is your collection?"
Cheng Tiexuan glanced at the thing embedded in the wall and didn't look at it again.
With just one glance, I saw a fetus with a sunken skull into the brain, a dead baby covered in strings of tumorous material, and a skinned human specimen with a tail and gills.
There are countless "collectibles" like these, but instead of glassware, they are wrapped in eyeball-like bubbles filled with a slightly greenish transparent liquid that has been found in another place.
Some of these specimens still maintain the posture they had before they were alive, but without exception they were desperately struggling, and this posture is probably the same as when they were peeled into specimens by a living body.
Bloody? Cheng Tiexuan doesn't think so.
"It's just the result of research, and as a human being, you probably don't know how complex you are. β
Shadow Demon was very satisfied with Cheng Tiexuan's calmness, and there seemed to be a sense of joy in the business.
"Sure enough, you and she are still different. β
Cheng Tiexuan decided to ignore the surrounding situation and move on, but he felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
Xie Ning didn't know how much blood was stained on her hands, although this was indeed a psychopathic behavior, even love couldn't hide it, but her murderous impulse was the embodiment of an emotion, a crazy negative emotion, even if it was negative, it was also a part of the emotion.
Shadow Demon is completely different, there is no such thing as "feelings" in her heart, even if she keeps all kinds of deformed corpses and specimens, her purpose is only to study "human" creatures, and there is no emotion mixed with her.
If the knife in Xie Ning's hand is the knife of the slaughterer, the knife in the hand of the shadow demon is a machine that slaughters like an assembly line.
The butcher's knife without emotion is a hundred times more terrifying than the former.
"I'm naturally different from her, and if I were the same, I might really like you as much as she does. I really don't understand, why a completely normal person like you would like her side that she can't open to others, is it because of love, or because you have the same shadow in your heart as her?"
The Shadow Fiend's voice was getting closer, and it seemed to be not far ahead, and it was becoming more and more enchanting.
"At first, I just wanted to save her, after all, this kind of thing is immoral, even if she hasn't killed an innocent person, she can't let her go on like this. β
Cheng Tiexuan's mind came up with memories from a few years ago, and every scene was so clear that it seemed to happen yesterday.
"Save? It's up to you? I know what you were like at that time, although you have powerful skills, but even yourself will be affected, it can be said that you are not good at anything, and people like you still want to save others?"
After listening to Cheng Tiexuan's words, the shadow demon did not refute, because she knew that this was the truth, only a thick mockery.
Immeasurable, in the eyes of Shadow Fiends, this is one of the characteristics of human beings, and it is very serious and very common.
"But I saved her, that's true, don't you think?"
Unmoved by the mockery of the Shadow Demon, Cheng Tiexuan suddenly shook his head regretfully.
"Perhaps, as a human, she has been contaminated with too much vulnerability and hypocrisy, but this is exactly what it takes to be human, human feelings are very difficult to understand, even after so many years of studying in the seal, I still feel vague, so I decided to use all means. β
Suddenly something came to mind, and the Shadow Fiend's haughty and provocative tone suddenly sank, as if he was caught in some kind of memory or contemplation.
"Is the way you use to experience everything in the world?"
Cheng Tiexuan vaguely understood the meaning of Shadow Demon's words.
Of course, people's feelings are complicated, Cheng Tiexuan didn't dare to say how much he knew, and he didn't have the ability, and the same was true for the shadow demon.
Therefore, the way for the Shadow Demon to get along with each other should be to exhaustively, listing all the conditions that can happen and conveying them to himself, so as to satisfy his urgent need to "become a human", just as he satisfies his desire to fight with the Beast and Demon.
And Xie Ning, as her agent on the ground, not only provided a lot of research materials about the human body, but also supplemented a lot of emotions that the Shadow Demon had never experienced, one of which was love, after learning about this emotion, the Shadow Demon became even more confused.
"Yes, you know more about love than I do, but it's not enough, I need more data, so you should be one of the most ideal experiments, hehe. β
Suddenly, the Shadow Demon smiled mysteriously, with a hint of satisfaction in her laughter, from the very beginning, she had planned to meet Cheng Tiexuan here, because for her, in addition to love, there was an equally important emotion to experience.
"If you want my love, you have as much as you want. β
Cheng Tiexuan didn't seem to be joking at all, and stretched out his arms in the face of the empty road.
"No, no, no, love is just one side of it, there is love, there is pain, so now I want to experience the pain of losing love, and then I will give you a demonstration. β
The Shadow Demon's laughter was still so moving, but the atmosphere in the passage instantly cooled down by dozens of degrees, and bursts of eerie cold air came straight towards Cheng Tiexuan.
