Chapter 262: Epilogue
With a thud, the crumbling light bulb eventually fell to the floor and eventually shattered into pieces in the room.
A bright light followed, as if someone had regained its light.
Xie Chen struggled to open his eyes, looking at the extremely familiar ceiling in front of him, and he knew very well that this was his room.
It's just that in this room, it was already a devastated scene, the walls and floors were all covered with blood, and all kinds of corpses in uniform were lying all around the room.
There was a disgusting smell of blood in the room, not even in the slaughterhouse.
The deaths of these corpses were particularly tragic, and the skulls had all burst open without exception, and the viscous plasma and brain marrow splattered off, making it unbearable to look at directly.
Xie Chen raised his head with great effort, only to feel as if his whole body was about to fall apart.
After turning his head slightly, he could find a strange creature lying beside the bed on his right hand.
The creature was like a mist, giving it an ethereal feeling.
But he didn't move at all when he was lying on the bed, but he still exuded a particularly depressed aura, which made him feel a little out of breath when he woke up.
To his left, there was a fair-faced adult woman in the same uniform who was leaning against the wall, and blood was oozing from her mouth and nose on her particularly kind face.
But it could still be seen that she could continue to breathe.
Xie Chen moved slightly, and there was a pain on his body, but he could sense that he was in his arms, holding a worn-out doll tightly and his own notes.
This old notebook seems to have gone through a process that should not be experienced, and the cover is already dirty, and it is not even clear what it looks like.
There was a lot of dirt in the middle of the paper, and there were several footprints on the side, so you could see that it had been stepped on by many feet.
The journal was filled with all sorts of strange symbols, kind of like characters, but I couldn't understand what it was in.
"Are you finally awake?"
"Kid ......"
A soft, particularly gentle voice sounded in his ears.
Xie Chen looked at the woman on the left hand side against the wall, kept his silence, and did not respond to her question.
"You are very brave, don't worry, now that the problem has basically been solved, you can put down what you are holding now and come to my side."
"Let me, let me take you out, to a safe place, to a place where there will never be danger again."
She said with difficulty, and blood was still coughing up from her mouth, but she still stretched out her hand, trying to reach her side.
Xie Chen remained vigilant and did not get noticed because of these two or three sentences.
But more often than not, I just woke up and didn't know what was going on in the room.
"Safe?"
"What other shit safe place can he go?"
"Hahaha, aren't you kidding him?"
"Is your lockdown room a safe place? That's pretty safe......"
"It's ironic that it's better to live than to die like that."
I could clearly perceive that the mist-like creature lying on the bed on my right hand fluctuated strangely.
But there was no movement, but the sound came from the depths of his consciousness, and it rang in his ears very clearly.
"Kid, come over quickly, don't let it come near you."
"You...... You'd even know about the lockdown room......"
The woman lying by the wall said tremblingly, as if every opening and closing of her mouth was particularly difficult.
"Hahaha, of course I know, I am deep in everyone's heart, but you can rest assured, I must be dying."
The woman seemed to be able to see the creature lying on the bed, and she wiped the blood from her mouth with her hand, staring at the side of the bed and said.
"But I don't feel any fear of death from you."
When the woman said this, the creature seemed very proud.
"Fear?"
"I've never had any fear, and everything I've built up comes from you."
"From you, from him, and from all the people in the world, but to be honest, the feedback from you is the ...... I've felt the least so far."
"You woman, you must be very capable......"
The creature next to the bed fluctuated several times, and from the voice in his head, he could feel that the creature had a strong interest in the woman on the left.
With this fluctuation, the creature on the bed became more illusory.
"Huh...... I'm going to die, it's fun. ”
"But it's even more fun than watching this little guy go through!"
"Hahaha."
"What? Why are you all silent? ”
"At that moment just now, in fact, you have seen all of his life experiences, do you think he is really worthy of your redemption?"
"The selfishness and cowardice in him is much stronger than that of other people."
Xie Chen's hands couldn't help but hold the diary and the doll in his arms harder, looking at the creature, and asking these questions to the woman on his left.
The woman replied calmly.
"This is the 17th time I've dealt with these things, and you and I know it, just because it's the result of your magnification and distortion."
"No, no, no......"
"I think you've really misunderstood me, I've never tried to amplify them, I've just tried to channel the desires in his heart, and those things will always be in your hearts."
"You and him, and even all the products of this world, they will have such desires and emotions."
"Just like this little guy in front of you and me, if it weren't for such a strong desire to kill in his heart, none of these people in this room would die."
"He did all of this!!"
"He did everything!!"
Xie Chen's whole person was stunned, and his nose smelled the smell of blood in the room, which made his hands tremble even more.
This voice in the depths of my consciousness made me a little incredulous.
But the woman's expression was very calm, and even her eyes were still clear, without any waves.
"No, you did all this, you instigated and helped him, and true kindness, bravery, trust and justice, all the morals that represent true humanity, are indeed rooted in his heart and in the hearts of all people."
"There's nothing you can do to change that."
"Our final result will be redemption."
"Oh?"
"So how do you get him to endure the pain of the moment?"
"Is it possible that you still want to exchange this pain for the salvation you promised in the future?"
"How do you get him to let go of the happiness I once gave him in exchange for the happiness you speak of?"
"Why is it silent? You can't do it! ”
"After all, if you could do it, I wouldn't be there."
"I gave him happiness, I gave him the power of revenge, all of this I gave him!"
The woman leaning against the wall did not speak, and two lines of tears were left on her cheeks.
"Hahahaha!"
"I admit that all this kindness you speak of is there, after all, it is also something engraved in your human bones."
"This little creature who gave birth to me once tried to resist me, but unfortunately most of you will never be able to defeat me, and I will never die."
"Never ......"
"Even if there is no me in this world, the desires of your hearts will drive to give birth to all kinds of strange me, and at that time, I will return to you."
"I should say that I have been there from beginning to end."
"Hehehe...... Wait for me, and when I continue to mingle in your hearts, I will follow and guide you. ”
The illusory thing lying on the bed hadn't finished speaking, but it had become more and more ethereal, and finally dissipated completely.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xie Chen didn't speak, just hugged the doll and diary in his arms tightly, but finally let go.
