Chapter 295 No matter where you are, I will follow you
August 4th.
Night.
"Bear with me."
Su Ming poured some powdered medicine on Sertis's wrist. The place had been deformed before.
However, her self-healing ability is also good, and she can move her left hand again in a day.
"..."
Su Ming was busy bringing clean gauze to change, while Sertis sat on the edge of the bed and stared at him.
"It was the same seven years ago. Brother Su Ming would find me."
She spoke.
"Telepathy is like this."
Su Ming smiled.
Telepathy = divination, reading files = divination. Therefore, reading files is equivalent to telepathy. It just feels a little suffocating because the target dies.
"..."
After changing the gauze, Su Ming wiped her face with a slightly damp towel.
Setis's hands were all very slender, and she could grasp even her arms with one hand. What is completely different from this is the baby canteen spread out next to the arm. Without the restraints of underwear, just wearing single clothes did not make the cafeteria crowded together.
What flashed through my mind was...blood.
The trachea in the throat, or perhaps some artery, was scratched, like a broken wire.
The left hand is completely deformed.
I don’t know how many times I’ve been stabbed in the stomach.
Not as smooth and soft as now. But even if it reaches that level, nothing will happen to the abyss. It didn't want Sirtis to die, so Sirtis couldn't die.
"..."
The wiped body began to tremble at a certain moment.
It's becoming more and more obvious.
Something cold fell on the back of Su Ming's hand. It slid down her hand to Sertis's thigh. She is now only wearing a plain-colored singlet with a semi-open neckline and shorts. After all, the others were stained with blood and burned.
She must have collapsed?
In fact, he could have predicted that even if he didn't say anything, Abyss would still be tight-lipped and play house with him all the time?
No.
It makes it very clear that when you think you can win, you will not hesitate to do it.
These days I look around for possibilities.
Thinking about it, wasn't it possible to make Sertis get better through kindness before?
But that’s not the case with ‘The Abyss’. It doesn't care about good intentions or bad intentions, or whether it's picky... It doesn't have any serious motive, it just wants food.
It's like, which is more serious problem, cannibalism or littering?
For it, eating people is an instinct, a necessary instinct. In its view, not eating is the problem.
"Skylark."
No need.
Even if you think that you will become stronger in the future and be able to subdue the 'Abyss' at any time, it is unrealistic. The passage of time is wrong. If I go back for one day, almost eight years have passed here. Then next time we meet Skylark, he won’t be Skylark again.
It's already difficult to solve now.
Yesterday, it took a lot of effort. After reading many levels, I thoroughly understood how higher-level immunity can be used in conjunction with other bonuses, and finally...
"If it becomes completely uncontrollable, I will take action then."
"Yeah."
"Compared to hitting yourself with rocks or hurting yourself with a knife in a place like that... I can make you lose consciousness without any pain."
Going out to look for things about the ‘abyss’ turned out to be fruitless. Instead, more and more people are noticing it. Curiosity, greed, hatred... will only make her stronger. The more you look for it, the harder it becomes to solve it. So until now, it hasn't stopped at all. I just occasionally go out to hurt someone on the spur of the moment, and then quietly watch my performance.
August 4th.
late at night.
It would be useless even if Sertis dropped the little pearl. It will still come out.
“Brother Su Ming is so annoying~”
"My wrist still hurts."
"I am so gentle to the little skylark, and to others..."
Isn’t that thing of mine a panacea? It was also able to treat the stains on Sirtis' cheek before.
"It's really amazing. They have already tried their best... but suddenly, Brother Su Ming hit me hard."
"..."
"Stinky stuff again. Disgusting."
Not the same thing at all.
"It just so happens that my body has been damaged by Little Skylark, and I can't resist it when I face Brother Su Ming~ It's even more annoying."
Even the physical body is the same.
It is not affected at all and will not cause any abnormalities.
"Do you really want to kill someone? I'm so scared."
real.
Already... done it once.
August 5th.
morning.
Sertis sat in the corner, hugging her small, white knees. The corners of the skirt are curled.
Was it seen? His expression was so gloomy.
After all, last night I was wondering if I could 'cure' it too? Maybe it will be useful?
Naturally, he got a little injured as a result. Now, its ability to contaminate can even make Su Ming's wrists exposed to bones in an instant.
"...Brother Su Ming."
He handed her the steamed bun and just caught it unconsciously. Didn't eat.
"Can you tell me about brother Su Ming's wife?"
"Which one?"
"..."
"I haven't told you yet. Apart from the ones you've met, I have four more. Want to hear from An Shiyao? It's the one you've met."
"...Hmm."
If asked suddenly, Su Ming wouldn't know where to start for a while.
August 5th.
noon.
Su Ming didn't go out anymore and stayed in the hotel.
After sitting in the corner for too long, my waist felt a little uncomfortable. I stood up and moved my joints.
"Yao is sometimes clever and tells some cold jokes."
"...a cold joke?"
"You can understand it as a conversation that you think is funny, but others will find it silly. What I said last time was that I found ancient relics under my bed. Paper from the State of Lu."
"..."
Sertis doesn't understand the plot at all. Just looking at Su Ming.
"You don't understand this? Then I'll change it and you can feel it."
"For example, suddenly he said that he made 300 million yuan."
"She... can earn it."
"No, I'm talking about amnesia, a memory, and the care with which I love you."
"Brother Su Ming, you don't really hate me?"
"After all, there are not many opportunities in this world to meet someone who is willing to wholeheartedly make it easier for you."
"I also have a bad joke."
"?"
Seeing Sirtis raise her face.
"Palicki, puff puff... Euler."
"What?"
"The content in the book I read is very funny."
Does this count as understanding what a bad joke is, or is it a complete lack of understanding? But it's really cold.
"It's an appointment..."
"Huh?"
"Wait until there is no way to save Skylark, then take action."
"..."
"I hope that when brother Su Ming thinks of Skylark..."
She stretched out her feet a little. They were just crisp bare feet with no extra decoration.
"It would be nice if you could remember the bow."
"..."
Su Ming couldn't say anymore, it was okay. There will be a way.
August 6th.
noon.
Sertis suddenly seemed like a different person.
I just found a restaurant with few family members and ate in a private room. But she stretched out her feet under the table.
"In the books I have read, there are lovers who like to do this outside."
"I think brother Ming likes feet... maybe he will like them too."
"..."
rumor.
Have the 'foot fetish' rumors from the Snow Country spread to this place through the air?
August 6th.
afternoon.
"They are holding hands normally, not sticking together like me."
The baby cafeteria was no longer used to pressure Su Ming's conscience, and they just held hands normally.
"They...kissed secretly in the corner."
"..."
Sirtis didn't seem to have that scruple, just pressing her soft lips on the street, where people were coming and going.
"Actually, I also know that although she is not as beautiful as Brother Ming's wife whom I have met before. But she is still... pretty, right?"
"The book says that men should properly declare their sovereignty over women. I think women are the same. They have seen me kissing without restraint, and they can't compare to me, so they will no longer be interested in Brother Su Ming."
< br>
"..."
It seems that he has forgotten what happened the day before yesterday, and what he said yesterday that he would kill her if he couldn't save her.
"I have been in the dead city for a long time, but that doesn't mean I don't know anything."
"Touched...kissed."
"I've seen everything. And you still want me to have a child like that. If brother Ming doesn't marry me, he will be a scumbag who plays with emotions as described in the book."
"..."
"So, will you marry me?"
Is it possible that you still want to marry someone else?
"Haha... I used to be a eldest lady. They said that either a noble man must marry me, or a wealthy businessman with eight carriages and at least five boxes of gold coins can marry me. They also said that only love and love can marry me. It’s impossible to marry me. What kind of brother is he?”
"Unfortunately, I am the third party. Even only love."
Su Ming spread his hands.
"...If it were only this, would Brother Ming be so easily seduced by me?"
Where would she be in public?
August 7th.
Customized wedding dress.
The wedding clothes here are different from those in Snow Country or other places Su Ming has seen. A very gorgeous dress...a bit like what Miao Xueer wore to attend a royal banquet. There are shiny decorations everywhere.
material world.
"Your wife is so beautiful."
The female clerk probably didn't just want Su Ming to pay for her. Sirtis was indeed beautiful now.
"..."
"I don't want black lace. I want white."
"?"
"Brother Ming likes it, white. The one with a bow is better."
It would have been better if she hadn't interrupted.
In fact, there is nothing I don’t understand.
It's her bucket list equivalent.
August 8th.
morning.
The beautiful wedding dress was ruined. Although Su Ming intended to keep the dress as unaffected as possible.
But to subdue the Abyss Witch who is getting stronger and stronger and cannot win without enchanting weapons, it is really unavoidable to have a few cuts in her clothes...
"The book says that women must learn needlework."
Sertis didn't pay attention at all, she just smiled and held up the light white dress to check the damaged areas.
"Brother Ming, can you give me needlework? Although I may not be able to learn it like cooking, I want to try it."
"If my brother rips his socks from now on, I can mend them."
"..."
After going out to buy some needlework, Su Ming sat on a chair and watched Sertis sewing a dress under the light.
With no sewing skills at all, it was impossible for her to restore a dress that required extremely high craftsmanship to its original state. There are even lines that are stretched out crookedly.
"If you can sew clothes, 1 point. If you can cook, 1 point. You will always have something fresh. 2 points..."
"On a scale of 10, I might get a 0."
The scores are all fake.
Marketing books everywhere are the same. They just capture people's psychology and make clear statements...but actually mean nothing.
"Yes, it is also said in the book... 2 points for a man to be an official, 2 points for being rich, and 3 points for making women happy..."
"After all, brother Ming only has 3 points at most."
"But I think it's a perfect score. Well, one point more than a perfect score."
She didn't feel sad that the dress was broken, nor did she shed tears because of the new light scars on Su Ming's hands. He just put down his clothes and went to get the healing medicine that Su Ming had used before and apply it on him.
"Ah."
"I almost forgot, the book said..."
He lowered his head and licked Su Ming's almost invisible wounds.
"This is more effective than medicine. Do you think it's true or false, brother Ming?"
August 10th.
Night.
Several red candles. Swaying and illuminating the cramped room.
The wedding ended simply with scrawled vows.
"It's the same no matter where you are, whether it's in a grand manor or a dead city where there wasn't even a blade of grass before."
"The important thing is... what Brother Ming said just now. I suddenly feel that I can do anything for Brother Ming, but I don't know what to do..."
"..."
"The book says that after getting married...there will be a next step. Do you want to come?"
"Is it the 272nd time or the 271st time? I can't remember clearly. Sometimes I can't tell whether my brother has finished it or not...it's completely different from what the book says."
August 12th.
morning.
Just an ordinary day.
One day to continue fulfilling her last wish.
Pick up the ball of yarn and continue knitting. Then it would prick her hand...it was supposed to be put into her own mouth and sucked gently. But it turned into holding Su Ming's index finger.
Then, I would say...it's salty.
"Brother Su Ming, are you finally tired of it?"
A cold reaction would be very lonely for someone who loves someone normally.
But Sertis smiled softly.
"Well..."
Sertis touched her belly, "Even in the end I don't know what pregnancy is like."
"..."
"Brother Su Ming."
"Become the one who didn't care about being stepped on by a skylark at the beginning."
"Paper from the State of Lu. I can probably guess what it means."
"Didn't Brother Su Ming do it?"
"But secretly using Hibari's clothes as paper... it's too much."
All this is enough for Su Ming, who has been locked in today and has been here many times...
"Am I that good?"
"I can make Brother Su Ming never get tired of playing."
Su Ming's face was buried in the baby canteen. There is an indescribable aroma lingering.
"That's why... Skylark always pretends that he hasn't seen it, and just wants to be attached to it for a while, just one more minute."
"Already satisfied."
"The skylark now is not a monster waiting to die in the dead city, but a woman. The down-and-out young lady who married Su Ming's brother."
"Brother Su Ming must have made a lot of efforts, right? Desperately... trying to keep Skylark."
"..."
"No more."
"Brother Su Ming, you have given me so many... very satisfying memories."
"..."
Su Ming has tried it all.
The game has entertainment skills like body swapping. But here, you can't spend points to use it in the game.
After trying to subdue it, no matter how groveling he was, he used every method he could think of to make her surrender. Or, look for anyone or anything that may be related to the abyss and can have some clues.
It's all wasted effort...
Just like before when he took the initiative to hold Loli's feet and offered to lick if he could help, he tried whatever he could. I mean, just kill.
The palm of her hand may have been stained with Sertis's blood.
"According to my old family custom, when you get married, you have to change your name..."
"Brother Su Ming, do you think it is better to add a surname to the name of Yunque, or a first name?"
"..."
Sirtis was talking about sleeping tonight and not waking up again, but she didn't shed a single tear.
August 10th.
late at night.
"Oh, brother Su Ming has become so delicious... Do you hate me so much? Hee hee."
"Little Skylark is the same. I wish I had my skin peeled off and my stomach is full."
"..."
Setis, whose whole body was covered with black energy, stared at Su Ming with a smile.
Next... I can only use all my strength to kill it. Go back again.
And because this mission didn't care about the life or death of the target at all, Su Ming had no choice but to load the file and go back before the mission was prompted to end the next day.
"Actually, this is not bad."
"I didn't expect that Brother Su Ming would be so desperate and resentful of others... Tomorrow, I will be treated like this by Brother Su Ming."
"It's better to leave it like this."
It flexed its fingers and said, "Give Brother Su Ming and Little Skylark a chance to meet once a week. How about just being someone's nourishment? No matter how strong you become, you will never kill Brother Su Ming. In order to take care of Brother Su Ming's emotions, ...Smelly things are just acceptable. After all, Brother Su Ming is also very angry when he does that.”
August 13th.
Night.
"It shouldn't be like this."
"I've given up on waking up again...it can't give up to me on its own initiative."
"Brother Su Ming, what deal did you make with it?"
"..."
Facing Sirtis who reappeared, Su Ming said nothing.
Have a question?
It doesn't actually matter how big of a boss this place raises. He is not a good person to begin with, and he doesn't care about anyone's life or death as long as he doesn't see it. Anyway, there will only be more people who don’t want to die on their own.
Just give up like this and know how to get here. Sirtis will not become the big BOSS in Snow Country, but she can still live normally.
"It just wants to feed on Brother Su Ming's negative emotions."
"How can I become kind?"
"One day, when I get tired of it..."
yes.
One day you don’t have to wait for it to get boring, you might get bored first. And by then, will he be able to gain enough power to kill Abyss, who has become stronger?
August 20th.
It was Sertis' turn to come out again.
"It didn't kill anyone."
"Cripple people and save a breath. Deliberately letting more and more people come here, everywhere... the malice it likes."
"..."
Um.
Su Ming even helped with these matters. What you say is a week can change into "You can do this for me right away" in its mouth at any time, or "Maybe someone wants to take a nap and let the little skylark come out all at once for a long time."
"I hate the current brother Su Ming."
Hate it?
The eyes were very gray, and their expression was indeed very cold.
August 21st.
Early morning.
"It's over~ Little Skylark suddenly has no intention of resisting at all."
"Even if someone kindly gives her a chance to meet brother Su Ming, she doesn't want it. It's so strange."
"..."
Its black energy was stronger than before, and the entire hotel was filled with it. There is also a hazy black fog floating in the town. Just standing in front of it, Su Ming's body was already torn apart.
"It's a pity."
"From now on, little Skylark, as long as I don't want her to wake up. She will never wake up again."
"It's like dying. Yeah, I gave Brother Su Ming a chance...but I forced Little Skylark to death. How pitiful."
"..."
Su Ming said nothing, just summoned the Philosophical Blade.
Enchantment.
Can be added to weapons for stronger immunity. After mixing, it blooms into a slightly darker blue fluorescence.
"What a terrible knife...why does it glow?"
"Brother Su Ming wants to use this terrible thing to kill people? If he kills, Little Skylark will never wake up again? If we are together, there may be a chance to save Little Skylark."
< br>
"..."
Enough is enough.
Getting this way is neither a reward nor anyone's happiness. It doesn't care about what Skylark wants at all, it just wants to torture it.
"Ah, brother Su Ming is still very strong...but he has eaten a lot recently. He is also very strong."
The enchanted Philosophical Blade will become less and less polluted after a long enough time.
"Puff——"
Inadvertently, Su Ming's ribs opened. Internal organs can be seen.
No matter how many times I've been through the Abyss Witch, I still can't remember it, and I feel that the black mist can withstand the enhanced version of immunity. But also, no one except you will know about the files you have read.
Just like this, I traded my injuries for my life...
"Wait!"
"Brother Su Ming, are you really going to die?"
"I just lied to you. Little Skylark is still alive~ Look. Everyone can feel Little Skylark's pain, how could he be dead?"
Seeing Su Ming stab it in the shoulder without hesitation, its expression changed.
"..."
"Who the hell are you?! Why are you still alive after your intestines were pulled out!"
"Why?! I've eaten so much and it's of no use to you?! It's all just pretense?!"
Guessed it.
But there is no reward.
"Puff..."
Blood splashed all over Su Ming's face again. You should feel a sense of relief when you complete the task. But now...
"If you cut it down before it recovers, the little skylark will really die... Doesn't Brother Su Ming like the little skylark?"
"..."
The only answer to the frightened Abyss was Su Ming's slashing movements.
yes.
Using conventional methods, it won't die at all. You have to grit your teeth and overdraw the enchanted and immune Philosophical Blade, and hit it until it can't move.
Already very skilled. Have you done it seven times... or eight times?
"Monster... Gu, you are the monster!"
August 21st.
morning.
The air in the town is still filled with an indescribable stuffiness. The successive disability cases, as well as the war and friction provoked... few people had a relaxed expression on their faces.
"It's him..."
"Go quickly. Don't get caught."
"..."
Because he helped the Witch of the Abyss do something that seriously injured others for no reason. Although he originally wanted to pick someone who was not so clean, how could there be so many unclean people in a small town? There is not much population in total.
Su Ming doesn't care about this.
Just walking down the street.
"Hey!"
Someone wearing a guard uniform came over, probably after receiving a report... A criminal like himself came out without a disguise.
People from the Explorers Guild also came.
There were people supporting him, and those who did not dare to look at Su Ming at first also came.
"That's him!"
"Our family depends on my husband..."
"..."
Watching and pointing.
"Don't move your hands!"
Seeing Su Ming dig into his pocket, the guard immediately drew his sword. The people in the Explorers Guild also frowned.
"Click."
But Su Ming just took out all the money from his pocket and put it on the ground.
"Sorry...please take these."
"I live in the hotel in front, room 202, and I still have some money in the drawer."
"Sorry...please forgive me."
Don't care at all. Nor is it an apology to them.
Although my hands have been washed and my clothes have been changed.
"What's going on with this guy..."
"Covered with blood, holding... a woman's clothes?"
"..."
It doesn't matter anymore.
It will be over. You can arrest yourself, no matter where you go. Will go back. It's done.
The weather is great.
The warm sunshine is very warm on my face, but my mood cannot be happy anyway.
Just go back as a matter of course and tell An Shiyao and the others that... they completely cheated on her and couldn't bring her back. Born, not even worthy of a beast. What does reading count? Have you read the results?
In this world, Su Ming has nowhere to go. All he had to do was stay where he was and wait while he was escorted into a cell.
August 21st.
Night.
Very strange. The task is not completed. Su Ming huddled in the corner of the dark cell.
Separate cells.
Is it possible that even though the Abyss Witch has been hollowed out, she still can't die?
Do you have to...do it again?
"Ugh."
I haven't felt like vomiting in a long time.
August 21st.
late at night.
Really weird. Su Ming cut off the cell door chain.
"You, what are you going to do?!"
The guard was attracted by the silence, and when he saw the translucent weapon in Su Ming's hand, he was so frightened that he stammered.
"..."
Su Ming ignored him and walked out in a big way.
Even if a brave guard or someone came to stop him, he would just sweep him away.
"..."
The town outside the prison may follow him in his arrest. A little bit more angry again. Even though it was so late, some people were still repairing their burned-down houses overnight.
Sirtis' body is in the hotel.
If it's not dead, it won't get very far.
August 22nd.
Early morning.
hostel. The blood was still there, and the room still bore traces of the fight. I forgot that after it was over, I tied up the boss and a few passengers and put up a temporary closure sign.
"..."
But Thetis' body was missing. Just a pool of blood.
The notebook on the low table where Sertis and I were eating together was open. The very worn notebook was given to her by Su Ming before. Half of the spread pages were stained with blood.
【Su】
【明】
On the two pieces of paper spread out, there were only these two extremely scrawled words. Sirtis's handwriting should be quite beautiful, it's more like she was writing with some restraint while holding back a certain emotion.
He reluctantly opened the page that was stuck with blood.
【Brother】
【……】
【I won】
What does it mean to win?
"..."
Su Ming ran out almost uncontrollably.
That's Sirtis.
Not a monster.
If it's still possible...must try again. Who would be willing to kill the lover they spend day and night with? Who would think it would be nice to get some kind of reward after doing something like this?
Go to hell.
You shouldn't give up at all, you should continue even if you don't regain your consciousness. How could he be born like this? What on earth are you going to bring back to face An Shiyao and the others?
【Mission Complete】
[Returning to reality... results will be settled later]
Where did Sirtis go when she regained consciousness? The blood on the page has long since dried. Maybe leave in the morning. Everything around him stopped.
If there was really hope, Sirtis shouldn't want to leave here. Not even dead.
She also wants to live. As I said, follow wherever you go. Bodies can be exchanged, which means consciousness can exist independently... I don't know. Su Ming stopped thinking. There is no way to think anymore, the task has been completed.
August 21st.
A forest some distance from the town.
"..."
I've been watching.
This is intentional. The more pain and hatred I have...the stronger it becomes.
【Why? 】
[You are also a monster...how is it possible, you eat more than me...monster! 】
But it didn't expect that Brother Su Ming would be so indifferent to his injuries that he would almost trade his life for a life to win.
Taking pleasure in brother Su Ming's pain.
Take pleasure in your own pain. Witnessing with my own eyes...the expression on his face as the body grabbed Su Ming's brother's intestines and the knife penetrated the gap between the body.
If this body is shared. He is also a monster.
Why can't I be the master?
Scramble?
No, you just need to get to the weak one and defeat the monster that is already weak and still wants to draw nutrients from you. Pollution can be controlled, so you can also pollute yourself. There is no point in self-mutilation, the body will recover.
So, what about using the pollution ability that comes with this body? It works, and so can I. At least I can after it lost to Brother Su Ming.
Monsters too.
Ordinary women are fine.
As long as you don't have to let Brother Su Ming take it anymore, it's fine.
So why isn't he dead yet?
The monster inside the body became more and more polluted, and completely stopped moving. But he is still alive. Maybe just to live a little longer?
[You don’t want to see him again? Don't you like him very much? ! 】
【stop! 】
[You...and him are both monsters! 】
Isn't it more painful than that?
I saw Brother Su Ming remain silent after I called him "disgusting".
Looking at this body, he said "Skylark" but couldn't help it, and handed over the knife.
How do you think I feel?
Than hatred?
Yes, there is an endless stream, and there are many. You can't finish it, can you? Can I eat it too?
I won.
This body is already garbage and no one wants it. Don't try to fix it, I have control too.
Close your eyes.
That's fine. No one can use this body to make Brother Su Ming sad and die together.
But I waited for a long time until the other voice in my head completely disappeared. Still not dead.
The body was obviously corroded to the point of being reduced to ashes, but the consciousness was still there.
Just follow the smell, the familiar smell... follow.
My consciousness was so blurred that I could only remember part of it.
For example, no matter what happens, I want to follow it. No matter how ugly you are, you won't be disliked.
For another example, I am also married. My husband is better than all the characters I have read in the book.
‘It’s strange. ’
‘The computer screen turns on again for no apparent reason… The energy-saving mode is on. ’
‘Female spy? If she wants to come to my house, she can't leave. ’
When I can see things again, it's very bright. He would frown...seem to not like it when I lightened up as he moved to the bed.
I feel like I forgot a lot of things.
‘Crack, snap, snap. ’
But I really like it when he presses the carrier I store and keeps ringing. Keep looking at my shiny parts. It's just that you can't look at me all day.
Don't want to be disliked.
So, just take a sneak peek once in a while. There is no malice here and it is filled with things that make me feel warm.
I found it.
Why did you come here? I always feel that if I stay here, I will slowly remember everything. Very reassuring.
