Chapter Twenty-Six: The Elegy of the Soul
Veronica cremated Aaron with her own hands, and she has always been a strong person.
The ability of the general knowledge is manifested in the extraordinary ability of memory, learning and practice, and there is no bonus in terms of physical fitness, and before being taken away by Su Mo, the long-term use of Sanglaleba has seriously depleted the upper limit of Aaron's lifespan.
No disease and no disaster, and the end of life.
Perhaps he had a strong concern and reluctance before he died, but at least he walked without any pain.
It is the people who are still alive who suffer......
Su Mo looked at Roy.
The teenager was very quiet and did not say a word from the beginning of the funeral.
"If you want to cry, cry out." Su Mo said lightly.
"I didn't cry!"
Roy jerked his head up, stubbornly and vehemently denied.
But in that gentle to sharp gaze, he felt the liquid uncontrollably detached from his eye sockets, and he silently lowered his head, and his tone softened.
"It's just, it's raining......"
……
Three days later.
Roy stood in front of Su Mo again.
“…… What did you say? ”
"My lord," Roy pleaded in a calm tone, "I want to be what you call a generalist. ”
The Psychiatrist traits that emerged from Aaron's death are being kept by Sumer.
Su Mo neither objected nor agreed, but simply asked:
"Do you know the risk of becoming extraordinary by using the trait directly?"
"I know."
"What is the mortality rate?"
"Between 96.7 percent and 97.5 percent."
"How sure are you?"
"Not sure."
"Does Veronica know what you're going to do?"
"I haven't told her yet."
"Do you know how sad she would be if you died because of this?"
Roy was silent for a moment: "...... I know. ”
"Now that you know," Su Mo stared into his eyes, "or do you have to be a generalist?" ”
Roy replied firmly, "I'm going to be a generalist." ”
"Alright," Su Mo nodded slowly, "you can state your reasoning." ”
"I want to inherit my father's 'legacy' and let a part of his life continue on me." Roy said calmly, "I want to help you deal with those complicated things as a student of adults......"
"You can assist now." Sumo said.
"Not enough." Roy's gaze was stubborn, "I know how big and long-term your plans are, and I want to be your real helper, not an ordinary person who is limited by talent and dispensable. ”
Su Mo closed his eyes, exhaled and said, "If you can convince your mother, I will agree to this matter." ”
Roy bowed to him and turned to leave.
Five hours later.
Summer meets Veronica in the kitchen, who is traveling with Roy.
He watched wordlessly as Veronica knelt down in front of him, and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, please let Roy become a generalist." ”
Su Mo opened his mouth.
He wanted to say that you were born as a medicine man, and you should be well aware of the danger of becoming an extraordinary person with the ability to swallow raw, and you should have seen many living cases of loss of control......
But looking at Veronica's trembling body and clenched fingers, he finally didn't say anything.
Summer walked around Veronica and headed for the stairs outside the door.
As he passed Roy, he whispered, "You're still a little cuter when you were a kid." ”
At least when you can't get the grapes, you will save the country......
Su Mo locked himself in the study.
Two days later, he pushed open the door a little tiredly and handed Roy a light blue potion.
During this time, Roy has sorted out his personal belongings and written five suicide notes, one for Aaron, who died unexpectedly, one for himself, and one for Veronica, Soumer, and Antonio.
Another day passed, and he was ready to try to be extraordinary.
Roy stood in the middle of the bedroom and drank the auxiliary potion that Summer had developed for him.
How much more can you increase your success rate? Su Mo thought, and quickly replied to himself, "Five or six percent." ’
He turned on his spiritual vision and saw that Veronica's aura around him was gray, appearing nervous and silent, and Roy in front of him was generally blue, in calm thought.
After taking the potion, Roy swallowed the generalist trait left by Aaron.
He closed his eyes, and his body began to twitch involuntarily, but his expression was calm.
As the minutes passed, Veronica, who was clenched into fists with both hands, gradually let go of her hand, and a touch of green representing calm appeared in the color of her aura, she knew that Roy was about to reach the end of victory, as long as there was no accident-
At this moment, a mutation protrudes!
Roy's facial features suddenly distorted, and the color of his inner star spirit body, the original blue seemed to have been splashed with a layer of ink, and suddenly became chaotic!
He opened his mouth and let out a roar, and suddenly opened his eyes, the once warm and calm brown pupils, the whites of his eyes turned into a terrifying yellow, and the pupils shrunk very small, full of beastly savagery and madness!
"Roy!"
Veronica rushed forward without hesitation!
- but was stopped by Su Mo.
Veronica's explosive power at that moment was so great that Su Mo almost didn't hold it, and he had to use all his strength to intercept Veronica.
"It's useless for you to be in the past." Su Mo said in a deep voice, "None of us are the audience channels, and the signs of getting out of control can only be supported by Roy himself." ”
Veronica's body froze.
Su Mo looked up and continued to look at Roy-
However, the miracle did not happen.
Roy knelt on the floor with his head in his hands, his body twitching from his torso to his arms, legs, and cheeks......
Spirits sinked in the turbulent waves of chaos and madness, and Roy struggled to raise his head through the last of his senses, looking at the blurred figure in front of him, his lips twitching twice, and his clear yellow eyes, which could barely see the pupils, were dyed with a strange affection.
In the next second, Roy's sense of self was completely erased by madness.
The extraordinary trait absorbed his life in reverse and began to transform his body and soul—
It's over.
When he saw Roy's spirit body begin to mutate along with his physical body, Su Mo knew that he was dead.
A complete loss of control is almost irreversible...... Unless he is the creator of Sequence 2, able to create life, heal spirits, and perhaps have a glimmer of hope for salvation......
Sumer's fingers tightened, letting go of Veronica.
Veronica didn't react.
Su Mo lowered his eyes and unleashed the Wings of Darkness and the Claws of Corrosion at the same time - a black flame fell from Roy's eyes, and the figure that flashed directly out of its heart.
Death put an end to the mutation.
The beating, bright red heart corroded into shapeless pieces of flesh that fell between Su Mo's fingers.
He turned slowly and saw Veronica, who was already in tears.
Veronica staggered forward, fell to her knees limp, and her outstretched hand trembled uncontrollably.
She gently touched Roy's hideous face, smoothed her frowning brow, closed her round eyes, and closed her torn mouth...... It makes him look as calm as if he were asleep.
Veronica then straightened up, wiped the tears from her face, and bowed deeply to Su Mo.
"Thank you, sir," she said, "for not letting Roy die like a monster." ”
Su Mo was silent.
Veronica barely managed to squeeze out a smile, crouched down and picked up Roy, then turned around and quietly walked out of the room.
She's strong.
Su Mo slowly lowered his eyes.
His gaze swept over the re-emergent Psychiatrian traits, stopping in the path Veronica had left.
It was crystal tears.
……
Su Mo sat in the treetops, holding a freshly plucked leaf in his hand.
He wiped the dust from the surface of the blade, then pressed the front side to his lips, slightly split the index and middle fingers of his right hand to touch the back of the blade, and his thumb held the lower edge of the leaf in reverse......
Summer played a monotonous melody.
It is a tune from beginning to end, and there is only a brief variation in the middle of the melody, which pushes the originally low and cyclic melody to a climax, and the timbre becomes brighter and the music is more melodious, but it makes people feel a kind of gratuitous sadness......
After finishing the song, Su Mo let go of his hand and let the leaves whirl, being swept away by the evening breeze......
Below is a corner of the manor, neatly standing five monuments.
"What's the name of this piece?"
Antonio, who was also sitting under the tree, asked.
"An elegy for the soul." Summer replied.
"It's a beautiful tune." Antonio said, "When I die, can you play me a song like this?" ”
Su Mo, who was sitting in the treetops, swung his legs and nodded with a smile: "I will." ”
——————————————
Antonio's tune:
The old version of the Hunter's ending song "Song of the Wind".
I specifically cut off one of my favorite interludes.
