Chapter 155: The Male Goat
Sether didn't say a word, he was completely engrossed.
"And then?" Isis paused longer than he expected, and he couldn't resist a reminder.
"And then," she took over slowly, a terrible voice hoarser and older than a man, revealing a subtle sense of chagrin, "and then, I did not feel strange or timid by it, for I was aware that something unusual had happened to me, and that I had lived in it since the day I was born. The strange man who appeared at my bedside in the middle of the night was my second grotesque vision after I realized that I could control the minds of others at will, and I saw his appearance as a guidestone on my path. ”
"So you're going to do what he tells you to do?" asked Sether again.
"No, I'm going to ignore him. Isis let out a creepy laugh, "It's ridiculous, I feel the strangeness and wonder of the man, and I am more and more determined to ignore his warnings." It was probably from this moment that I was already on the path of inevitable destruction. ”
"I didn't sleep all night after the mysterious man who appeared in the middle of the night disappeared, and I couldn't sleep because of my plans for tomorrow, and I was even more emotional. In the darkness of the night, when everything around me was silent, I felt two incompatible forces fighting fiercely in my body, and I was terrified to death on the one hand, but extremely excited on the other, as if I had split into two completely different people in an instant. ”
By the next morning, the battle had not yet dissipated, and I had not slept all night, and the previous euphoria had now turned into calm. The warning of the mysterious man the night before was so vivid that I could not see his face at all, but his words seemed to have come to life and had taken root in my heart, and I could not do it if I did not think about it. But, perhaps because of disobedience, perhaps because of stubbornness, the man's warning rang louder and louder in my mind, and the more determined I was to carry on my revenge to the end. ”
"By the time the sun rose, I had already left home. Walking alone to the harbor on the outskirts of town, the couple had woken up, and I knew they saw me going out, but even if I had not exercised my mind control over them, they would not have dared to shake my tongue at command, and I would have become their master. Haha, this revenge was only the first taste, and I already felt so sweet, who could refuse the pleasure of this hatred?Along the way, I smiled, and everyone who saw me was amazed, and even in the days when I was oppressed and despised in the past, I never smiled flatteringly at anyone, so I was beaten much more often than the slaves. But that morning, I laughed so kindly that they almost knelt down on the side of the road, and I felt more and more strongly that I had the degree of control over the human mind to the point of using all smiles and gestures at will. “
"I climbed the highest mountain by the harbour, I can't remember how I got there, it was one of the highest mountains in the world in my time, and it was snow-capped all year round, but I stood on the top of the throne in a dream, and looked down. I know that this is unusual, and I must not have reached the highest peak in an instant by my own strength, but I am used to it, or I might as well say that I am not talking, because I am waiting, and I know that more strange things will come to me. "Let's read the book
"I stood at the top and looked down, and I had a full view of everything in the world. I see everyone in the world as clearly as the mosquitoes and flies flying in front of me. I shouted, I waved my arms, I cursed, I roared, but no one in the world was affected by my actions. I was so angry that I was exhausted and lay down half-leaning on the stone, and I thought to myself, "Am I not the Nemesis I imagined?"
"I've never been so disappointed, so tired, that I almost wanted to lick myself off the rock, and I just fell to my death. Later, I fell asleep in a daze, and in the middle of my dream, I felt someone talking into my ear and riding on top of me, and I screamed in my dream, and then I woke up in a cold sweat. ”
"When I woke up, I found that it was already dusk and the sun was halfway down. I was amazed, I remember that I had not been able to climb this peak in an instant, and I had not slept for long, and how it was sunset? I don't remember very well, but what impressed me the most was that the light of the setting sun was like the blood of a lamb slain, so red that it stained the whole sky and the whole mountaintop. I saw that the stone on which I was leaning resembled a natural throne, and that there was a mark on its back, much like the head of a horned goat. ”
"I stared at the seal, and the more I looked, the more I felt that it was alive, and the blood-red afterglow of the setting sun fell on the head of the sheep in this throne, like blood flowing down from the sky, and falling on the head of the goat. In an instant, I was ecstatic, I finally knew what I had to do to get the ultimate power I craved, and I finally knew what I had to do to accomplish the greatest and bloodiest revenge. ”
"I knelt down on my knees, pulled out a knife and slit open my palm, and I watched with satisfaction as the blood seeped through my skin, and I didn't feel any pain at all. I stretched out my wrist and hung over the sheep's head, watching as my blood fell into the mark like a string of red beads. At that moment, a crack opened in the mouth of the indigent, the sheep's head, and the male goat gulped my blood. ”
"I was trembling and almost fell to my knees, not out of fear, but from ecstasy. The more blood I poured out, the clearer and more vivid and powerful the sheep's head became. After I don't know how long, I almost ran out of blood in my body, and the male goat's mouth finally closed. The sheep's eyes were as clear as fire, burning as coals, and staring at me deadly. ”
I raised my bleeding hand, trembling and making a wish, and I did not know what I was saying, for I could not understand the language I was speaking, and the sheep's eyes were fixed on me without moving. I began to wonder, worried that it didn't understand my request at all. ”
"My blood was almost all gone, and I knew I was one step away from death. I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to be unable to take revenge before I die. As soon as I thought about this, I began to fidget, and I could no longer make wishes on my knees. ”
