Chapter 256 Lovers 15
Chapter 256 Lovers 15
"Look at what you are like now, world."
The "lover" narrowed his eyes and looked up at the "world". He shook his head in disappointment, "You seem to no longer be the omnipotent 'world' in my mind, always on the right path. I don't know when, you seem to have a weakness that I can't even identify."
"I really hope that this is all my illusion, but it seems not to be the case."
"That's because you don't know me, lover."
The World looked at the boy with glasses in front of him, "It's just that in your imagination, I have always been a perfect existence. But suddenly one day, you found that what you thought you were was not perfect, and you were disappointed. That's all."
His tone was always calm. Compared with his "lover", he was as normal as could be, which made his "lover" look more like a madman who was shouting nonsense.
"No, it's not like that. You used to be perfect. Everything about you, yes! Everything changed from the moment you brought back Temperance, from the moment you brought back that guy."
"I still remember how you pulled me out of the quagmire of pain like a god. At that time, I was still a guy who was committed to using everything to revive the people I loved. Unfortunately, even in a high-tech civilization, resurrection from the dead cannot be easily achieved."
The "lover" seemed to be lost in memories, and even the tone of voice became lighter.
"I am lingering on. I try to use technology, use vague beliefs, and use evil rituals that I heard from others. Unfortunately, none of these can bring back the dead."
"I am like an extremely paranoid pervert. For the so-called 'love', I deceive and kill my own kind, cut off their heads, and chop off their limbs, just hoping that in a reassembled body, the one I love can wake up as promised."
"During these processes, you have always been by my side, and even explained some...killing techniques and dissection techniques to me very professionally, which made me feel extremely incredible."
"I don't remember when you appeared, but I remember that you accompanied me for a long, long time as a companion of a murderer."
"You seem to be omnipotent. Every time I see your angelic face, your golden hair, and the blood on your fingers, I always feel extremely absurd. I always feel that someone like you should not be stained by these dirty things."
"Like my lover, like the one I once loved, she also has golden hair, long and thick hair draped over her shoulders, like an angel."
"I don't know how many times, because of this same hair color, I would dream about you in the middle of the night after I lost her, naively thinking that you were her, you were her incarnation. Maybe it was because you had been with me for too long, or maybe it was because the timing of your appearance was too coincidental. I always think, I always can't help but feel that you have the feeling she gave me, and a little bit of her shadow."
“I was eventually arrested and the evidence was overwhelming.”
“Hahahaha, a great scientist and inventor who was once known to everyone ended up believing in something illusory and became an executioner. This fact is indeed unbelievable to many of my peers.”
"I don't know why I was arrested for no apparent reason, but I know that I don't want to die. Only if I'm alive will she have unlimited possibilities."
"So, when you extended an olive branch to me, I accepted it. I had no choice but to accept it. And, because I...need the ability you give me, I will be loyal to you."
"But even with the power I have now, even with a long life, I still can't find any trace of her. It's like she has never appeared, as if... everything is my illusion."
“So, my love withered silently in the long river of time. I don’t even know whether what supports me to move forward is gratitude or the instinct for survival.”
"So, I hate love. I hate love. There is no noble and rational reason. It's just because... I can't get it anymore."
"Sometimes, I even wonder why I should be loyal to you. As a lover, I have lost my love forever. The long time is tantamount to a permanent punishment for me. But I don't know why, just looking at you from afar, I inexplicably can... go on again."
The "world" has no words, but looks into the distance. The sun in the distance is slowly setting, and the orange light looks warm and gentle.
Such a scene made the "lover's" face soften. His sight became a little dazed. For a moment, he saw some shadows of his love in "the world".
"Xinjie, Xiaojie... is that you? Are you... back?"
"Lover" murmured.
"My love, you've lost your composure."
"The World" turned around, blinked, and said lightly.
It was a face completely different from Xinjie's, belonging to... "the world".
The "lover" came back to his senses and subconsciously touched his chest. Although he didn't want to admit it, his faster beating heart was revealing the truth to him.
Love never seems to disappear.
"I'm sorry, 'world'. Sometimes seeing you reminds me of someone I can no longer trace."
"Is that so... I thought you saw your love."
"The World" curled the corners of his mouth, and the words he said had an inexplicable joking tone.
The "lover" was silent.
"You can't have any more contact with Temperance. His thoughts are too unpredictable. I always feel that one day, he will cause you irreparable harm."
"This is not an order to you. This is my advice, from the advice of a 'lover'."
After a long time, the "lover" suddenly uttered these two sentences.
"He is dead."
"World" Tao.
"No, I believe he is not dead."
The "lover" looked towards the "world" and said with certainty.
"Although there is no conclusive evidence, I know that he is not dead. At least your behavior makes me think that he is not dead."
"If he were really dead, you shouldn't be behaving like this."
The "lover" looks at the "world" with burning eyes.
"The World" sighed and did not respond.
After a long time, his face became inexplicably sad.
"Sometimes I envy the position of 'lover', because I can express my love as I please. I even envy it to the point of being a little jealous."
"But I am 'the world', which means I will never get the so-called love response, because selfishness and selflessness are always a pair of irreconcilable contradictions, aren't they?"
The words of "World" were incomprehensible, but after hearing them, "Lover" fell into deep thought.
He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart.
He can often catch some clues from things that others cannot understand.
