Chapter 24: Cowards
Burke opened his eyes dimly.
"You're awake." A voice came from the side.
Burke's eyes widened suddenly, he turned his head to look, and instantly pulled out his pistol and pointed it at him.
"Oh! Calm down man, calm down. Lem was startled, and his hands on the steering wheel trembled.
"What do you want to do?" Burke asked in a deep voice.
"Calm down, if I want to kill you, you won't be alive until now." He hurriedly spoke.
Burke, who heard this, looked around and found that they were in a car, and the surrounding environment looked like it was in the bone tube.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Run for your life, man, run for your life, I'm an outlaw with you now."
"What do you mean?"
"Remember, I'm from the Gosente Group, and in order to save you, I killed all my companions who came to Dirk Town with me."
"You killed all your companions? To save me? Do I know you? Burke was embarrassed by his words.
He thought about it for a moment and confirmed that he didn't know anyone from the Gausant Group at all, he had only heard of such a powerful organization.
"I don't know, but it's not too late to know now, my name is Lyme, you should know, what's your name." He asked.
"Burke."
"Okay brother Burke, I'll mess with you in the future." He made up his own mind.
"No, what's wrong with you? I don't know you at all, you killed your companion and rescued me, just to mess with me? Burke didn't believe in that thing.
"Yes man, you're right." Lem nodded in confirmation.
"You'd better explain it to me, or the bullet won't last long." He pointed his pistol at Lem's head.
Lem, who was still driving, gradually darkened his eyes.
He took a deep breath, and even though he tried to restrain himself, there was still a hideous expression on his face.
"I live in Capeln, a chaotic and disgusting city.
My whole family was strengthened by the people of the Gaosente Group.
My father, mother, sister, sister.
They screamed, wailed, and cried before my eyes.
They looked at me with those desperate eyes.
I was the only one who escaped the clutches, and the only one who survived.
We haven't provoked anyone, we haven't had arguments or holidays with anyone, we just want to live well.
The Gosente Group ruined it all, ruined it all for no reason.
Later, I went to look for the law enforcement team, but I saw the captain of the law enforcement team at the door chatting happily with the man who had strengthened my family in the first place.
You should also understand the purpose of my joining the Gaucente Group.
I have been working in the Gaosant Group for five years, and I have worked hard to fight for power and get to the top.
Later, I found out that the position of the upper layer had been set a long time ago.
No matter how hard I try, no matter how hard I try, I will never be able to reach the top, I will never be able to get close to the core of Gosent, and I will never be able to complete my revenge.
Just as I was about to abandon this plan and find another way, you just happened.
At first I thought you were a complete lunatic, saying things that were completely impossible.
As a result, your actions gave me two slaps in the face, and also gave me hope for revenge.
I know you're not part of some cult.
Because when we found you, you were incredibly injured and had a dropped weapon by your side.
I've tried to use that weapon, but I can't shoot.
Later, I tried to self-harm based on your appearance, and found that it worked, it was a cursed item, a cursed item that feeds on pain.
Knowing how to use it, I also tried to harness that gun.
I used all the props you had on myself and found that I couldn't stand the pain at all.
I can't do it, my brain will try to restrain me from self-harming myself.
Even though I tried countless times, the highest was only five eyes.
Every subsequent use deepened my fear.
And the way you look, I guess you'd have ten full eyes.
You have made me understand that even ordinary people, as long as they are ruthless enough to themselves, can have extremely powerful power.
And that power was clearly in front of my eyes, but I couldn't use it, I felt like a coward, ridiculously outrageous.
Obviously, my resentment is so deep, but I can't do anything to myself. ”
Burke also checked the sac backpack while he spoke, and found the ten-eyed python lying inside intact.
He was also secretly glad that he hadn't killed them first, and then killed the snail mother.
It stands to reason that he should first kill everyone in the Gaosente Group, and then deal with the snail.
Otherwise, after killing the snail, even if you faint without pain, you will be in an extremely bad state, and it will be easy to be picked up and killed.
But the scene in the dream had completely overwhelmed Burke's head, and he admitted that he was not rational enough to think clearly before he did it.
Fortunately, there are people like Lem who are avengers lurking in the Gosent, otherwise he would have been sent to the Gosent's headquarters by now.
After listening to Lem, there was silence.
The silence around me could be heard with a falling pin, and the only sound in my ears was the sound of a car moving.
Burke knew that it wasn't that he was too cowardly, but that time was too much of a jerk.
Burke believed that if the ten-eyed python had appeared in front of him, he would have been able to open ten eyes and ruin the scum.
But it's been five years since that incident.
Five years doesn't sound like a long time, but there are not a few five years in a person's life.
From birth to adulthood, it only takes four or five years.
Five years is a long enough time to grow a lot.
Five years ago, Burke was twenty-two years old, and he had just come out of college, and he was still a guy who didn't know any, and his hands were empty.
Later, he worked for a year, came out to start a business for two years, bought a car, bought a house, got married, and even had children.
Later, he came to this world, a completely strange and distorted world.
Alone, helpless, he crawls through this world and encounters terrifying monsters that he has never seen in movies before.
Up to now, he has become a ruthless person who kills people without blinking an eye, chopping his hands without shouting pain.
That's five years.
If what Lem said was true, Burke believed that his current Lime hatred was no less, and his anger had not diminished.
But people are visual creatures, and the impact of seeing with their own eyes cannot be compensated by imagination.
It's been five years, and Lem can't remember the specifics of the beginning.
In addition, when encountering pain, the human instinct is to avoid it.
Being tortured is forced, and you will not be suppressed by instinct.
But if you want to harm yourself, you have to resist instinct.
His words also made Berklada sound the alarm.
He was afraid that his desire to go home would fade as time went by.
It also made Burke feel urgent.
"So what's your reason for following me?" Burke asked.
"Learn."
"Learn what? Self-harm? Burke made a terrible joke.
"Learn how to become stronger, although I can't use your weapon, but I know that you are strong, even if you don't have that weapon, you are still strong, you are so fierce to yourself, you will definitely not be weak, weak people are like me." He laughed at himself.
"I'm not interested in walking with others, although you saved me, although your life is very miserable, but I have my own things to do, I don't have time to accompany you to slowly become stronger."
"You don't have to accompany me, you go your way, don't worry about me, just treat me as a transparent person, all the itinerary and plans are arranged by you, I will not interfere with any of your actions and plans, if you are afraid that I will hold you back, you can ask me to wait for you in one place, as long as you remember to come back and talk to me after completing your affairs, you don't have to worry about me."
"Follow me, you may die at any time, I have already formed bonds with many big organizations, just like the Gaosente Group." Burke continued to speak to dissuade him.
"I live for revenge, even if it is death, and I said that I am an outlaw like you, and if I kill the people of the Gaucent Group, they will not let me go."
Burke was silent for a moment, but finally agreed: "If you insist on it, then follow it." ”
