Chapter 3: Separation x Reunion
"Are you leaving? "I looked at Ellie who opened the door, and I didn't fall asleep, and my heart was restless until Ellie got up late at night, and I felt as if I was about to lose something.
"The Authority will find them soon, I want to live, I want to be free, and I can't drag you down. With that, Ellie walked outside.
"Ellie, sing me a song. "I was right behind Ellie.
"Obedient, Xiao, go back to sleep. ”
"Ellie, sing me a song. ”
"You will lose your mind. ”
"No, you're not human. ”
Ellie stopped, and walked back towards the woods, "How long are you going to follow me?" ”
"Until you sing to me. "I still don't give up," Grandma said, and if she had the same heart as the Breaker, she would be able to hear the Devilbreaker's true song. It's the most beautiful music in the world. ”
"Didn't you just say I'm human? ”
"Well, a human named Demon Breaker. ”
Ellie shook his head helplessly, "Xiao, don't be willful, go back." It's been a long time since I've sung. I have long forgotten how to make a sound. ”
"Ellie lied, how could he be so long that he forgot to speak out. ”
"I've lived for a long time. ”
Silence again.
"Shhhhh ”
"Danger!" Ellie spun around and threw me to the ground, several arrows shot out of the grass.
I don't know what's going on, Ellie frowned, "The officers and soldiers of the Authority are chasing, you run!"
"Don't! I want to be with Ellie!" Knowing that the most correct thing to do now is to flee quickly, and he shouldn't drag Ellie back, but he saw that Ellie's right shoulder was grazed by a sharp arrow, and the scarlet blood penetrated the white clothes, and his body could barely move, and he just wanted to stay by Ellie's side.
"Stupid!"
The officers and soldiers quickly approached from all sides, and I trembled and tugged at the corner of Ellie's coat, disgusted at my weakness and incompetence at this moment. If I hadn't pestered Ellie......
"Xiao, what are you doing, come here, get out of that demon!" came the anxious cry of her mother behind her. I slowly turned my head and said, "I don't want it, Mother, Ellie is human! Don't hurt her!"
"A child who has fallen astray has been confused by the demon. An ethereal voice sounded, and from behind her mother stepped out a girl with crimson pupils, long silver hair, and a gorgeous white robe with dark gold rhinees, it was ...... Lord Priest...... Why, she's here......
"Xiao, my only friend. I looked back into Ellie's gentle eyes and said powerlessly, "I'll protect you." ”
"Dawn, the East is dawn, a name full of hope, like an angel. Hello, goodbye. "I let Ellie push me away, and watched as she opened a breach of siege with the dagger hidden in her cloak and ran deep into the woods, watching the officers and soldiers chase after her.
"Ellie, don't leave me behind!" I began to cry, trying to break free from the officers and soldiers who were pressing me, despite my mother's resistance, trying to catch up with Ellie. My heart hurts like a bite, and I am about to lose it, my dear friend, and I can't hold anything, and I can't protect anything......
"When the slender flame has been ignited in my fiery heart/How can I stop the passion that spreads at some point/Close your eyes, can you hear me call you/Butterflies scatter phosphorous powder and fly around/Release the fingertips that intertwine each other/I just want to touch the side of your face again/Whisper your name a thousand times/Can't expel the ...... of missing you"
The song that pierced through the darkness was Ellie's singing! I heard it! Ellie was singing. Tabby Xiaqi, Lin Laiquan rhyme.
I watched as the officers and men looked pained one by one, covered their ears and fell to the ground, and then struggled to continue to chase forward. I listened to Ellie's voice getting quieter and quieter, watching her figure disappear into the distance, but I couldn't catch up.
With all my last strength, I called her name, "Ellie!" and I must live......
The wind was still, the faint rays of the sun were shining through the horizon, and my eyes could no longer see the light.
In the year 445 of the Celestial Calendar, I worked as an attending physician for specialized chemical therapy at a specialized research institute.
The so-called specialized treatment is to restore normal to people who have lost their minds due to demon breaking. I was here 10 years ago. To put it bluntly, it's brainwashing. In a sense, this is a kind of clandestine work. If it weren't for my mother's experience as a master of ceremonies secretary more than a decade ago, and if it weren't for the specialized chemical treatment I received, I might not have been able to get this position.
Only now did I know how filthy the tribal hierarchy was under the glossy exterior, but I was not in a position to comment on this filthy lackey.
"Break the demons. I muttered to myself. Obviously they are monsters expelled by disgust, why would the tribe let them live instead of killing, if it weren't for their innate ability to resist nuclear radiation, in places far away from the high nuclear radiation in the living area, they need labor to collect nuclear resources, and the tribe would let this species that is genetically superior to humans in all aspects survive? So humans put wrist rings on them to suppress the weapon of breaking demons and singing. Under the inhibition of the wrist ring, the Demon Breaker will cause great pain to themselves, so almost no Demon Breaker will sing when the wrist ring is worn, in fact, very few people have heard the Demon Breaker sing. After all, most of the demon breakers are controlled by humans.
The song of the demon breaker is their innate weapon, and the piercing sound makes human beings miserable, and some people will be confused by their minds due to physical reasons, and they will have a great affection for the demon breaker and like the demon breaker. I'm in that system. Hence the existence of specialized treatments.
In a trance, "the east is dawning, like an angel." It's this voice echoing in my head again, and I can't tell who said it, and the sequelae of the year.
The bell rang and I yawned, knowing that a new patient had arrived.
This time it was a 10-year-old boy. "Sister, he's not a demon, he's human. ”
"I know, my sister believes in you. I comforted the child with swollen eyes as I pushed him into the specialized room. I've told you how many times I've told you this lie.
"Lord Dongfang, will you regain your mind after treatment?" asked the trainee nurse next to me.
"It's just for them to forget their memories related to demon breaking. ”
"Then why can't we study the DNA of the Demon Breaker and fundamentally change the Demon Breaker?"
"That's absolutely not allowed, don't talk about it again. ”
The study of demon-breaking DNA is considered taboo by the tribe, and as for the reason, I have investigated ancient books, and in the end there is only one guess: even if the demon-breaking gene is superior to humans, in terms of DNA structure, they are humans. It's just fantasy, and it's not allowed.
Tonight, the one-week preparation for the festival will begin.
I stood on the edge of the Chaosong Canal and looked at the familiar scene.
Demon breaker, this creature, with amazing looks, deadly singing, and a longer lifespan than humans, is almost like an evolved human. If it weren't for the fact that humans have a large number of weapons and occasionally have an absolute superiority in numbers, maybe it would be the demons who rule over us.
No, I can't have that idea, they're all demon breakers anyway. Damn, so uncomfortable. An unprecedented sense of impact came over me. My head hurt, and I crouched down in the crowd desperately trying to forget the thoughts I shouldn't have.
"We're human!" a familiar voice exploded in my head, biting at my nerves, a flash of something that had been forgotten in the depths of my mind, what it was, I remembered it.
My intuition tells me that no matter how painful it is, I have to think about it.
Ancient spiritual songs drowned out the sound of my heavy breathing, and no one seemed to notice my anomaly.
"Are you alright? ”
"Thanks, it's fine. "I felt less pain, but I still couldn't remember anything.
I got up to face the stranger who asked me, her black trench coat covering her whole body, and her huge hat hiding her appearance in the night. The voice was inexplicably familiar and tinged with an undetectable warmth.
"I'm back, Xiao. ”
All emotions exploded in my heart. Tears began to collect in his eyes and slip down.
In the middle of nowhere, I think I saw the only light from the dark abyss and grabbed it. I swear with my life that I will protect it this time.
"Welcome back. ”
In the middle of the canal, on the memorial platform. The silver-haired, red-eyed girl stared at the approaching ship ahead.
"Lord Youfei, everything is ready. "Officers and soldiers came to report.
"Well, the memorial service begins. An ethereal voice rang out.
Suddenly, the girl's gaze shifted to a place on the riverbank.
"Found it. ”
"At the end of the first story, the name represents a story before the chapter, and the chapter is used as the chapter title after the chapter."
