Chapter 36: Sins [This Chapter Surely Causes Discomfort]
Jingle ~ Jingle ~
I saw......
I saw black flames appear in the sky, like a hand grasping the thin layer of sky, twisting and tearing, until the black lightning flashed, and everything began to crumble, the sky! Land! Ocean! Forest! Desert! Snow!
Lightning and thunder, like a drum, a dull sound in the sky!
The volcano erupts unscrupulously! Flames and smoke obscure the sky! In this dark day, so small and meaningless.
The tsunami rolled up like an overwhelming day, and the high waves swelled up layer by layer, tearing everything in the ocean apart! In the face of this surging power, so fragile and powerless to resist.
The plague of the forest has spread from the center of the world to the deviant and the mad, the notorious and the unsuspecting.
Desert, storm! Befall!
Ice, Rage! Ruthless!
Here's what I see......
See all of it!
Oooo
The church bells, like a desperate sound, rang in the old man's heart, and the heart that was about to burst out was like a tail fish that could never jump out of a puddle, beating, struggling, suffocating in despair.
Death, perhaps, is coming.
He looked at the boy in front of him, the green long sword in his hand, like a slaughtering blade, bright, he felt that there was a trace of fear, because this child was still crying strangely just now......
"My name is Loken, actually, I'm quite afraid of death......" The man sat down suddenly, and on the church bench, the Virgin Mary of colorful multicolored glass was staring at him with those black eyes.
He looked at the graceful Virgin, put his hand on his lap, and for a moment, he went back to the first day when he came to Wenti County, and the goose feather snow stopped near the border of Wenti County, and the whole Wenti County was green and crisp, and it was like this.
Sky......
Earth......
Why is there such a big difference?
"When I first came to Wentishire...... Working as a helper in Longxinghui, I ran every day and night, day and night, from one house to another, just because, I needed to send money to my mother in the small village, my brother was taking care of her, they were all waiting for my money, I thought that people would not be tired, but I still fell...... Those days...... Now I want to come...... It's hard......"
The boy clutched the sword in his hand.
It's like looking at a piece of wood, and those crying red eyes are like bloodshot red.
He didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"It was a really difficult time...... I had some relatives living in Wentishire, and the first thing I thought of was to go to him, how naΓ―ve I should have known...... My mother wailed from her hospital bed...... You shouldn't expect any relatives...... I got my first ever white-eyed ...... That's my uncle's white eye...... When I was lying in my hospital bed, I was thinking...... I, my little family, am I going to disappear into this world quietly...... Will...... I spent all the medicine I needed to buy, and I worked day and night to earn what little income I earned...... Because I can't afford to pay for the Izuku Conference, because I can't afford to pay for the Academy! I can only do those physical tasks! I didn't even have a chance to look for a good job! β
Lorcan smiled, he lowered his head and looked at the folds in his pants, which he patted and flattened.
"Me...... At that time, I could only lie in bed coughing and crying bitterly, and I thought about my parents...... I think about my brother...... I thought about the hope that I didn't know how to live, and I hated the world! Why! I was born into a family like that! Why! I can't participate in the Izuri Tournament like other kids! Why! I'm always inferior! Why! No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't earn that much gold! Why! I can only be such a fate! Why! I am always the one in such a desperate situation! β
Why!
Why are there so many whys!
Lorcan clenched his fists tightly.
The boy just listened, as if he needed to give the old man who seemed to be repenting of his life enough time to talk about the regrets of life.
"I burned for three days and three nights, and my ears burned deaf...... My throat burned hoarsely...... I can't call this incident the aftermath of the catastrophe, the tragic thing continues, and I don't know half a big word...... I can't tell people that I need to keep working, that I need to continue to earn a small income here...... I'm like all homeless people...... Living on the streets...... I didn't think about going home...... I don't know how to answer my brother, my mother...... I was exhausted, but I didn't bring a single coin with me...... I don't have the face to see them......"
It seems that the past is vivid, so miserable, but he can't shed any tears, he looked at the young man standing in front of him.
Perhaps, this teenager would not be so determined...... His black eyes, deep, like black gems, sparkled and sparkled at him.
"I live on the streets, I eat and sleep...... Hungry, I dug through wild vegetables and rummaged through the scraps in the trash...... I don't know how to live...... I don't know what the reason for living like this is...... I can only cry...... When I cried, I thought of my mother at home...... My stomach is already broken...... I vomit when I eat, it hurts like a knife, I can feel my body getting worse and worse, I look at the brutes walking down the street and laughing at me! I endured everyone's drive...... Only ignorant children will approach me...... But it will be pulled away immediately, and they will be kept away from the plague god like me......"
As if, as if he had really encountered those figures that drove him, his body, so many black snakes, spit out long letters...... Red as a scorching ...... Staring at the old man who was sitting still......
The boy clutched the sword tightly, the green blade never deflected, he seemed to just watch, the black snakes did not dare to approach him, only swirled around him.
"I want to ...... How much do you want to be born in a rich family...... How much do I want to ...... If you think about it, you won't have a serious illness and ruin your future! I think so much! I wish I could be as good as them! Live decently in this world! I want to have enough gifts for your birthdays, too! And not a worn-out sewn garment! How I wish I could use a real wand to practice with a wand! And not a broken branch! I want to be thankful too! If I had money! I'm sure I'll be able to learn to be grateful! I can also talk and laugh! β
The black snake burrowed into his ears, into his nose, into his mouth, and those tiny things left a black slime on his body, sticky and dirty, and smelled bloody......
"Me! Loken! You can also become a human being! β
He roared, like a shout! The snakes were furious, and the viscous flow of his body turned into long snakes, like deep-sea pythons in a quagmire, entangled around his neck, tighter and tighter.
"I can too! I can too! Lorcan shouted, snakes that splattered out of his mouth like black clay! Splashing on the face of the young man who was looking at him coldly, he just died silently in the air, turning into white dust, and the green sword shimmered...... Like the star-green aurora in the sky, it flickered gently, quietly rippling and opening the halo......
"I can too! As long as I have money! My mother won't die! As long as I have money! My brother didn't steal medicine and was beaten to death by others! As long as I have money! Those who eat human flesh and drink human blood won't drink to me! As long as! I have money! β
The black snake splashed in his mouth like saliva, causing his entire mouth to begin to fester! Black snakes peeked out of his eye sockets, like black mud gushing out of his eyes.
His eyes were wide open, and the human form, which had long been indistinguishable, was full of swimming snakes filling the body that had begun to fester.
"Only! As long as! As long as! β
He screamed frantically, and slammed his fist on the bench, making a popping sound!
The bench made of bamboo and wood buzzed and shattered, and he seemed to be about to fall, but he only took a few steps back unsupported, staggered a few steps, and then slowly stood up, staring at the young man.
The young man's cold eyes were like the frost that had already frozen no longer changed.
"What's wrong with me killing those people! They were born superior! They were born with a lot of money! They're here! Damn it! They're damned! Instead of being sick and dying! And not us! And not me! β
The church bell rang slowly, it was not the chime bell, but someone asking for prayer, and no one would forget the Virgin Mary on the colorful church walls, made of fine broken glass.
Because she is always so dignified and decent, she is plump and full of maternal brilliance, and the corners of her mouth are always like this when she deliberately makes a smile, smiling, that is by no means smiling at you, it should be laughing at the misery of this world, because she is only a fine piece of glass, she is only a Madonna made of glass, and only sharp objects and stones can destroy her, not sickness, poverty, or even, words......
"I went home and was confronted with a stinking corpse, I searched for my brother, and all I got was bad news...... I watched the rats gnaw on the ...... This human tragedy...... I looked at the familiar clothes in the mass grave......"
Lorcan suddenly calmed down again, looking at everything, the small pieces, the young man in front of him, his eyes had turned into golden bubbles here, with a dull brilliance, green ...... It should be the color of hope, mottled like a broken crystal ball......
Jingle ...... Jingle ......
"You hurt...... Lin'er ...... What are you talking about...... It's just an excuse...... What I have seen, what I have heard...... It's not as miserable as you say......"
The boy spoke, and he stepped out, preparing for battle, and he was very steady, and it only took a second for him to enter the posture of battle.
Waiting for the battle, facing the terrifying viscous figure in front of him that had been completely wrapped in black breath, he couldn't see the appearance of a person, only those eyes still wanted to be a person, whether it was the body or the internal organs, they were all allowed to be bitten by the black snakes, rolling, and colliding, they condensed into such a human form, spitting black letters, and roaring the words of the world.
"The excuse for his crime is nothing but laughter...... The girl named Chen Lin is so innocent, and you don't necessarily have mercy...... You're just a selfish devil! The young man said, the sword in his hand, majestic and sassy.
Jingle ...... Jingle ......
Jingle ...... Jingle ......
Jingle bells! Jingle bells!
"Why don't you eat minced meat...... It's ridiculous! Ridiculous! Lorcan burst out laughing!
"You are so small! Future! The crumbling, broken future! It's all proof of your insignificance! You can't change anything! You can't change me to kill people! You can't bring them back from the dead! You can't change anything! This fallen world! The truth of this spiritual world! The future of this world! You can't change it! You're just a speck of dust! You're just a murderer who's lynched just like me! You damn it! Waste in Mousse Village! The tragic reincarnation of your previous lives has long been seen by the big guys! You're just a lowly bug! Hold the sword! Let's use lynching! Kill me! You'll be just like me! You can't give any evidence from the Ministry of Internal Affairs! There's no way to put me to death! That's the power of money! You'll never understand! β
That crazy monster! Like a beast in a torrent, it pounced straight on the boy.
"Kill me! Become a demon who uses lynching like me! Your unspeakable crimes are too numerous to count! Do you think you're clean enough? You're as filthy as I am! Kill me! Let these blood-stained hands never be washed clean! β
The boy didn't hesitate, and even, in an instant, the green blade cut everything here!
Along with the brown benches, they fell apart.
Those dark swimming snakes, with big eyes and bloody mouths, pounced on the boy, and when they touched the green light, they turned into white mist and disappeared.
They rose and fell, like a continuous curved waterfall, striking the blades, as if Lorcan flew out in its entirety, crashing into the sharp blades!
"I never said I would be scared...... I never said I would hide my past, that's how I've always been here......"
Jingle ...... Jingle ......
"If you have to say that I use lynching...... Then I can only say that I am doing the right thing for heaven...... I have never killed innocent people, nor have I wronged others indiscriminately...... I'm different from you after all...... You're just a lackey...... The lackeys don't need to know that much...... It doesn't take much lifting...... I've never been afraid of having the blood of sinners on my hands, I just hate to kill all the scum who kill innocents like you, you can make me have nightmares, I'm not afraid of carrying sins, but of not being able to die as ...... as they deserve."
Jingle ...... Jingle ......
"Don't you hate! You also have a tragic past! Don't you hate?! Don't you hate! β
Jingle ...... Jingle ......
"There's no way I can hate...... I know the evil ...... of this world But I still see the beauty of the world...... I hate what I hate, but I can't hate the good people...... You can hate me for ending everything you have, but I won't accept your hatred because I'm ...... That's the kind of person ......."
"Who?"
Jingle ...... Jingle ......
"One...... Tiny ...... Human ......"
