Chapter 53: The Shadow of Opposites

The inferior said lightly: "Why did he treat me like this...... Why did you treat my mother like this, and why did you give me this ridiculous name......

"Why do you want to assassinate me, and why do you spare my life...... I know why you've come to trouble me three times or twice.

"I also thought about killing myself and ending this painful fate; I also thought about just leaving it at that, enjoying my life of glory and wealth.

"I'm going to be in pain too. I'm going to crash too. I'm also tempted to cry late at night......"

The inferior seemed to question Tovatus, and then he seemed to himself, "But to whom can I cry?" Where can I weep?

"If someone saw me crying, they would laugh out loud. I won't let you get away with it.

"But am I going to be alone, listening to songs on the toilet and crying?

"β€”don't do it."

As a lowly, deservedly half-elf, he was expected to die, to perish. It is best to completely erase the traces of presence.

As a continuation of the fate of the "marriage of opposites", he is expected by his biological father to collapse or commit suicide.

As the son of an elf, he was fed the deadly poison with tears by his demon mother, who was imprisoned in the reinvention mechanism, and longed for a liberating death.

As the public enemy of the lower city, he is longed for a fall or an ugly death.

As the only one who dared to tell the truth, he was cursed by the people of Uptown, hoping that he would shut up and die sooner.

"Everybody was looking forward to my death."

He bit the end of his cigarette and whispered indistinctly, "I'm going to survive."

"I want to live as a mortal. I want to live as a sober person, a person of integrity.

"I'm going to survive, I'm going to laugh out loud. No matter how many times I've been cursed, no matter how many times I've cursed, I'm going to laugh out loudβ€”"

He looked at Director Tovatus, who looked like a young son, with a clear mocking expression on his face: "You want to oppose me, and disagree with me?" After that man, has someone chosen me to fulfill my destiny?

"It's all right, no problem. If you do this, I will do it. You don't have to put this stuff out to disparage me, and I don't have to vent my anger.

"Do you know why?"

The inferior asked in a low voice.

He took another deep puff of his cigarette and pressed the lit cigarette butt into the palm of his left hand, leaving another scorch mark.

Only this act can show the unrest in his heart.

"β€”because I feel dirty."

The inferior said word by word.

After listening to the words of the inferior, Tovatus fell into a long silence.

He clapped his hands slowly, and couldn't help but admire: "One is you, and the other is the godfather...... I was pleasantly surprised.

"I thought that with better toys, I could put you down. But you are also a treasure. ”

Looking at the inferior, Tovatus made a sharp inquiry: "You walk on a single-plank bridge of pain, this is a lonely way. How long can you hold out? ”

"I'm going to hold on until I can't hold on anymore."

The inferior replied without hesitation: "I was born in a 'contradiction', I should have lived in a 'contradiction', and finally died in a 'contradiction'." ”

"But have you ever thought that this is also your 'destiny'?"

Tovatus frowned.

The inferior laughed, but there was no smile on his face: "If this real and heart-wrenching pain is also my destiny...... It was also under my own will that I accepted this pain; Walking on this painful path under my own will. ”

"Remarkable."

Tovatus exclaimed, "I'll watch you die in agony." ”

"Then look at me!"

The inferior voice was high and loud: "Watch me go down, watch me die!"

"You treat me like a toy? Then I will take you as a witness!

"Watch me die in your long lifeβ€”keep your dog's eyes wide open and witness me unshaken unto death!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Looks like you don't need my help anymore. ”

The young son shook his head, and the red glint in his eyes gradually dissipated.

The inferior said coldly: "In that case, you get out of the way." I'm going to save my colleague. ”

"Delphinium, or ultramarine?"

Tovatus asked with interest, "I won't let you pass." You have colleagues in it...... I also have approved people to protect. ”

"Then it seems that we still have to fight......" Gu Fu

"Don't you think it doesn't make sense?"

"It's just to vent my own anger, there's no point."

The inferior slowly took out his lighter: "But if it's to protect others, it makes sense." ”

"Forget it."

Tovatus shook his head and looked at the inferior with pity: "You can't beat your father. Even if you fight for your life, even if you become a demon...... You can't defeat him either.

"Because anger is meaningless in the face of time......"

As he said this, he suddenly paused, as if he had heard something.

Tovatus looked back into the distance.

After looking at it for a while, he nodded with interest: "It turned out to be fully cooked and ultramarine......

"Coincidentally, I don't like it when I see it all."

Tovatus smiled and said, "It's right here...... By the way, I would like to repay the kindness of Ultramarines for saving their lives. You don't have to go, I'll do it for you. ”

"A life-saving grace?"

The inferior sneered: "What did you say? Saved yourself from being kidnapped as a hostage by yourself in a game you designed yourself? ”

Just thinking about it made him laugh out loud.

But the inferior did not question Tovatus' words.

Although they have a hatred for the elves, but because of this, the inferior also know that they are arrogant enough to disdain to lie in such places.

Tovatus looked at the inferior very seriously: "Of course it's a life-saving grace."

"You don't think that I was just a doppelganger when you almost pinched me, right? Or do you think I'll stop the bomb at the last minute?

"I'm not that mean."

When the elf child said this, he also raised his head.

He replied without hesitation: "I want to see you look foreign from the bottom of my heart." If it can make you miserable to death, it doesn't matter if I let me die myself.

"If you could crush the heart of an innocent child with your own hands and make you fall into the mire...... I'll laugh even if I return to the Mother Tree.

"Don't doubt my resolve, I'm 'at odds' with you with all my heart. It doesn't matter if it costs me my life – I'm very serious. I'm proud of who I am. ”

"-Then why don't you give up resistance now and be killed by me?"

The inferior said impatiently.

"Don't. Or rather, it used to work, but not now. ”

Tovatus said with great interest, "Because I have found a new treasure...... You're not that important anymore.

"If it were him, he might be able to really turn this era upside down. I'm going to watch him and throw my foolish people from the tower.

"Compared to the man's fun, you're just a seasoning dish. I'm not going to pay that price for making you twisted anymore...... I want to witness his miracles. That's why I'm going to let you be here to see how much worse you are compared to your father. If nothing else, this will be my last face-to-face contact with you, so I want to give you a better ending. This is as a reward for pleasing me for a while.

"You know that in your own heart, right? If you unleash this fire, it will correct your distortion. It will make you no longer so confused, no longer walking on tightropes...... It can make you live more like a person.

"But since you refused, that's fine. It shows that I still underestimate your distortion somewhat...... You're a treasure too. It's just that compared to him, you still can't. Far from it. ”

Tovatus said this, and the glass between his fingers disappeared.

"I don't want to owe a favor...... Ultramarine really saved my life at that time, and I will repay him. And more than once. It's not just ultramarines and delphiniums that help me in my picture...... I'll find a way to dig them all over my side. ”

Tovatus smiled with undisguised malice: "After all, I just want to see you alone." If you are not alone, you will not have that taste...... Isn't it? ”

"I'll wait for you."

The inferior glanced at the black clay figure standing in front of him: "Go ahead, I will always watch you here." See if you lose your words. ”

"Take your look."

Tovatus smiled, turned and walked back inside the factory.

And the inferior simply withdrew the Delphinium's chip.

He took two steps forward, parallel to the black clay figurine, looking inside the factory.

The inferior lit a cigarette again, imagining himself standing next to Kamalse, exercising his endurance.

And the clay figure just looked straight ahead in silence.

Although the inferior ones are standing on the side of the clay man, it can even be said that they are standing side by side.

But both of them just looked ahead and didn't look at each other.
