Chapter 020: Alive
"Peter, listen to me." Chu Mo took a deep breath and said calmly:
"I'm not kidding, if you can't stop the qi from continuing to dissipate in two hours, you're going to die."
Hearing the word "death", Nephi Petos's reaction was unexpectedly calm, and she whispered, "Will die......"
"Yes.... If you don't do it well, you'll die. Chu Mo took a deep breath and said:
"Imagine that the thoughts around you flow around you like water, from the left shoulder to the left arm to the left leg, to the right leg, to the right arm, to the right shoulder, to the top of the head, and to maintain this cycle, and you will be able to perform the winding."
"I'll try."
Nephi Petus said with some trepidation, and then closed his eyes.
Time passes slowly.
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes.
Half-hour.
One hour.
Chu Mo's back was already soaked with cold sweat, and he adhered to the attitude of not disturbing Nephi Pietus, and did not say a word, but the fact in front of him.
The qi around Nephi Petor still flowed like a candle in the wind.
"How could it be ....."
Chu Mo's pupils constricted to the extreme.
He originally thought that since Nephi Petus could be the predecessor of Catwoman, he was at least absolutely gifted in this aspect, otherwise how could such an invincible chimeric ant be born.
But he suddenly realized a very serious thing: to be alive may be a heavy burden for the girl in front of him, like a prisoner struggling to move forward in shackles.
Is the pain and torture of day and night really as easy as imagined....
Maybe she just kept me quiet so she didn't want me to worry and pity her......
Chu Mo originally thought that after he said the word "death", Nephi Peto's reaction would be shocked, frightened, and helpless.
But the result was completely different from what Chu Mo imagined.
Her reaction was like a sigh of relief.
A long sigh of relief.
Even the whole body reveals a sense of flatness that 'it doesn't matter even if you die'.
It's better to die surrounded by warm currents than to die coldly..... Perhaps at this time, this is what Nephi Pitous had in mind.
But Chu Mo thinks that if you don't have the mentality of absolutely doing it, is it really an easy thing to learn to "entangle" within two hours.....
He felt that he was really naΓ―ve.
He didn't even think about how many times she had thought about ending her life with the pain of illness every day.
He just took it for granted that he could give this weak person a chance to live.
And the other party will also accept this opportunity as a matter of course, live happily, forget all the pain before, and simply live.
After more than ten years, is it really so easy to change the inertia of thinking......
How can he convince a person who has been living in pain and struggle since birth, to convince her that the future is beautiful and that every day will be different from the past.
There will be no more sickness, no need to curl up in a tent overnight, no need to pick out one piece of waste in the polluted garbage dump, no need to hide, no need to be abused and beaten by the strong, no need to be cautious, no need to be a burden to others.
There is no need to continue to be a burden to the person you care about.
That's what she cared about the most, because at that time, I risked my life to kill Hoff, which was a burden for her......
Chu Mo's voice was completely cold: "Nephi Pito, are you listening to me carefully, this is very important." β
Nephi Petus opened her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice, "I.... Can't do it. β
"I don't believe it." Chu Mo's face twitched slightly, "Try again, we still have time!" β
"Actually, if you can die like this, it's much gentler than if your body is completely rotten and then die, and I've been thinking about how to end my life to be a little easier.
I've been thinking about it since before you showed up.
I used to feel so cold that even during the day, it was so cold that I couldn't move.
My body gets colder and colder every day, and sometimes in the garbage dump, my body slowly loses consciousness, as if it doesn't belong to me, like I'm in an ice cave. β
Really.....
It's not that it can't be done.
It's that she doesn't want to do.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Chu Mo said in a daze:
"I'm going to run out of fucking time, you know, you're going to die."
"If I die, you'll have an easier time." Nephi Peetus lowered his face, "Isn't it?" β
"What is it, can you please stop being so presumptuous." Chu Mo gritted his teeth and said:
"Listen, I told you, as long as you survive today, everything will be fine."
"I'm so satisfied, to meet you, no one has ever cared about me before."
"What are you satisfied, can't you understand, not everywhere in the world is like Meteor Street." Chu Mo said a little hurriedly:
"Listen, I used to live in a nice city, I could sit in a three-story house every day, I didn't have to pick up garbage and I had something to eat, I could go to the library and read books when I wanted to, and I didn't have to dig through the trash to find the broken books, wipe the stains over and over again, and barely find the handwriting on the disgusting pages."
Nephi was silent.
Chu Mo saw that the other party had no reaction, and the violent dark red covered his pupils:
"Can you imagine what it's like to live like this, instead of living in hell all the time, you should think that the world is just a piece of shit."
"I probably don't deserve that life." Nephi Pido put his hand to his chin and said thoughtfully:
"I'm not even qualified to imagine, otherwise, I wouldn't have been born here."
"You don't deserve a fart, you listen to me, I went to great lengths to save you, not to give you a more comfortable way to die." Chu Mo said in a deep voice:
"I'm trying so hard to make so much effort for you, an idiot with no imagination at all, and an extremely selfish fool, to live openly in the future.
If you dare to die in such a selfish and stupid way, I will never forgive you in my life, can you understand, Nephi Petus..."
Nephi Pido's voice remained calm.
"So it's a lot of work, right?"
"Yes, it's a lot of work, huh? It took me a lot of effort, and I risked my life several times....." Chu Mo said in a deep voice:
"Even if it's for me, you have to live, don't take me for a fool, okay?"
"So, I should take it for granted every time, and let you risk your life every time, the time of the alley, this time, every time you have to work very hard to save me."
Dark hair, obscuring Nephi Petore's eyes.
Chu Mo was really annoyed to the extreme.
He could not understand why anyone would refuse the chance to live, and the excuse was so ridiculous, so ridiculous.
Chu Mo forcibly suppressed the irritability in his heart, and replied calmly:
"So what, didn't you also save me, and taught me the language, shouldn't it be taken for granted that I help you?"
"You're a hundred times a thousand times better than me, and even if I hadn't picked you up from the rubbish, you wouldn't have died."
Nephi Petus Says:
"I actually hope that I didn't find you at that time, so I wouldn't have dragged you down, and you could live more easily without me."
"I've ..... I don't want to drag anyone down anymore. β
"It's good if you left me down, without me, you don't have to join them at all, you look struggling and reluctant,
You don't like being among them at all, but you keep telling me that we can survive because you know they can save me, so you force yourself to join them. β
Chu Mo froze in place.
Only then did he realize that his thoughts were so clearly perceived.
Yes, for her, she is almost dead, and the only person she can care about is the only person around her.
Why did he think his mind could hide from her eyes?
Be.....
He really didn't want to join the Phantom Brigade at all, and from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to be around these monsters who killed people like drinking water.
It's me who opens and closes my mouth......
She didn't take her life seriously at all, hey, if it were me, even if she was a parasite, she would have to live tenaciously.
Isn't death really scary at all.......
Chu Mo lowered his head, was silent for a long time, and asked in a calm voice.
"So, you don't want to drag me down?"
"Hmm."
Chu Mo asked again.
"What about yourself, do you want to live?"
Silent.
"Even for a second, have you ever thought about living?"
Chu Mo then asked.
Silent.
Suffocating silence.
I am so unwilling......
Chu Mo took a deep breath.
"Do you remember the World Tree in the magazine, in fact, it was just a stunted tree species, and in a place called the Dark Continent, there were many taller and bigger World Trees."
Chu Mo said slowly.
"Also, you seem to want to play console games, I've seen the broken console you picked up, you didn't fix it, but you try to toss it with a screwdriver every day."
"I'll play with you in the future, and I'll play any game."
"It's the same with reading, it's not crumpled books picked up from the garbage dump, there are all kinds of books in the library, you can read them whenever you want, I'll read them with you for a few days and nights."
"But if you die, there will be nothing, and I will slowly forget you."
Nephi Pedo opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't say anything yet.
Chu Mo's eyes dimly said:
"I'm definitely going to forget your ......"
"I promise you, don't think that such a selfish death can be respected by me."
"Okay, you idiot can die if you want, it has nothing to do with me anyway."
Chu Mo was lying, if Nephi Pido really died stubbornly like this, then he would be worried about it for the rest of his life.
This sense of humiliating powerlessness will be deeply imprinted in his heart.
Silent.
There was a long silence.
The silence was so silent that the unhappiness in Chu Mo's heart swelled infinitely, and he felt that the tyrant in his heart was growing infinitely.
Is it difficult to dominate other people's lives.....
Hehe, if only I were in the operation department, stick two needles in the head of this stubborn idiot, and she wouldn't have to think about doing such an inexplicable thing.
So, why did the matter of obviously living evolve so complicated......
"Forget it."
Chu Mo let out a long sigh.
"That's it, Nephi Petos, if you're really tired, I'm not going to force you to survive,
After all, I'm not you, I can't understand what you've been through, and I don't know how you survived twelve years in this kind of place. β
"But ......"
He gently hugged Nephi Petero's cold shoulders and said:
"This is my last request, even if it's for me, live with me."
Nephi Petdo's body trembled slightly, and tears welled up in his reddened eyes.
"I don't want to..... Forgotten by you. β
"I want to read a lot of books, not the ones that are missing pages, not the tattered ......"
"I want to play a game with you, that game in the magazine, it looks so funny....."
"I want to go to that World Tree and see if it's really so high, is there really a bird's nest in such a high place..... I want to know. β
Her voice trembled.
"I really ....."
"I want to live."
Really......
I still want to live, it's too difficult to take care of a little child, am I a people's teacher......
No, I'm the only family member to this guy, so I feel guilty for dragging me down.....
Chu Mo hooked the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, and said with tired eyes:
"Then live, how can there be an idiot like you, as if it is all wrong to live."
"If this world really doesn't allow you to live, then I'll ......"
"Turn the world upside down."
Chu Mo said this, and the dark red in the depths of his pupils surged.
