Shadow Code - C48
” I don’t have much time left. Give me the diary, and you brothers can slowly talk about it! ” The little sister spread out her palm. She seemed very confident that I would do this, or perhaps she was simply the most venomous of women. If I didn’t do it, then my life would be the price.
” “Sans, don’t give it to her!” The pockmark raised his gun and pointed it at her temple.
” I would like to ask, little girl, you said that there will be more than that in the future. I thought you would be hiding by my side. Aren’t you a very intelligent woman? “You should know that if I die, you won’t be able to get what you want in the future. Killing a chicken to reap its eggs, and raising one will be better than raising one for the rest of my life!”
” It’s your bro that’s too violent, I’ve changed my mind! ”
” Then what was the meaning behind the large group of people that surrounded us just now? ”
” I will throw my life as a captive to you all! ”
” Ha, looks like you’re too smart. You know that you’ve been exposed, and can no longer win our trust.
” “Sans, don’t talk nonsense with her!” The word “pockmarked” was followed by the sound of gunfire.
” A superficial wound? I’m sorry, I was half a second late and I caused you to suffer! ” Mountain Demon’s voice was very gentle as he quietly sat beside the bonfire. Behind the bonfire was snow, and I could only see the endless snow. The snow was so vast that it was like a painting, depicting only me, Mountain Demon, and the flames.
” Am I dead? ”
” You won’t die, as long as I am here! ”
” Are you a human or a gorilla? ”
” I grew up in the forest! ”
” Then you are a savage? “Mountain Demon?”
” Didn’t you always think I was a Mountain Demon? Then let’s follow your plan! ”
” You can read other people’s minds? ”
” You are no one else! ”
” Why did you save me? And why did you give me such a shitty gift? Didn’t you lose your memories?
” “Remember, my memories can be preserved for a period of time. My memories are a mystery that I don’t understand myself, but as long as I don’t forget myself, I will protect you!”
” “Why? Why is it me? Why should I?”
“There’s no reason. If it wasn’t you, who else would it be? There has to be someone like that!”
F * ck, this Mountain Demon’s words are even more terrifying than Li Si’s. Li Si’s words are a kind of crazy philosophy, and Mountain Demon’s words are a kind of cliff-style thinking. You’ll feel like you can’t find a way out and will fall into the abyss at any time.
” “Where is this place?” I had to change the subject.
“There will never be light here, no sunlight, no moonlight from the stars, no light from any star. There will always be snow, never melting!”
” Are you very skilled? Why are they afraid of you? They have so many people! ”
” “You should rest. If your injuries aren’t too severe, we should hurry on our way. If you’re tired, you should rest for a bit!”
” On the way? Where are we going? ”
“I don’t know either, but we must hurry on!”
” My brother, how, how is it? ” I felt guilty, and the first thing I did when I woke up was not to ask about the pockmarks.
” He’s fine, don’t worry! ”
“Oh, thank you. Then, what about that woman?”
” She didn’t sincerely want your lives. What she wants most is my life, but I can’t kill her.
” What did you burn? “Can you eat it?” He knew that everyone was fine, but he also felt hungry. He watched as the Mountain Demon continued to roast something in the bonfire.
” It’s a type of food here, it should taste pretty good, you can try it! ” Mountain Demon handed it to me.
” What is this thing? Why is there no warmth or smell? ”
” The food here is all like this, and can’t stimulate your appetite. There are many things here that can’t stimulate your appetite! ”
” Have you ever thought about why people in our world would commit suicide because of love’s pain? Why people would commit suicide because of money, struggles, schemes, people, even from birth, instinctive hunger, having appetite, even people struggling before dying. Because of the desire to live, all of our emotions are actually born from temptation. However, our world only wants to explore the world of others, while others only reject all desires, including the desire of outsiders to explore! ”
” Mountain Demon, are you the messenger that walks between our world and theirs? Had my brother-in-law been viciously murdered seventeen years ago for seeing their world appearance? Then wouldn’t the people in their world be too vicious, narrow-minded, and sensitive? If they really didn’t have a shred of desire, shouldn’t they have given up even their desire to protect? Furthermore, we were just looking. We accidentally saw it, but didn’t do anything about it! ”
” Your brother-in-law is not dead, Old Branch Book is not dead, and everyone who has seen their world was sucked into their world! ”
” That’s the password to open that world! ”
” Password? That is to say, as long as we accidentally look at that world, people would die in our world and then go to that world, right? It could be said that he was forced to go with the characteristics of a captive, right? And that world isn’t something that will always be seen, so if the people of this world want to take the initiative to go to that world, we’ll have to use that password, right? ”
” You know the way, you know the password, then you will go to that world, and the place we are staying right now is just outside the city gate of that world, I didn’t even enter the real city gate, so when I said that we were going to hurry, we were just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for your books or your brother-in-law to see us, so we could continue to write down our diaries. You can take out those two pages and see the blueprints, but you can only see them here, because there are no obstacles in seeing these records here, so naturally you can see them! ”
” So you gave me the first page, and the second page, too. Was that you, too, the one digging outside the cabin in the middle of the night? It really was the pockmark’s guess, and it was purposely given to me, wasn’t it? ”
” “That’s not me. Because I noticed that the one called Little Sister was following you, I lured her away. The other companion gave you that!”
” That’s right, does pockmarks know everything, because it said that it would send me to my death. Only now do I understand, perhaps it means to send me to that world? ”
” Maybe I’m the contact person with the old branch letter, and the branch letter is contact your second brother-in-law. Maybe your second brother-in-law didn’t use the branch letter to send the message, maybe he found a certain place to go to that world, or maybe he found an opportunity, like when he knew that the world would appear again, and if you saw it at that time, you would have naturally become the third prisoner there. So, my guess is that the branch letter sent you to die, that’s the meaning! “
