Tokyo underground city

Chapter 70 An Rusen

Lin Huai'en was stunned. He didn't expect Qi Ling to want to ask this question.

He hesitated for a moment, as if he really hadn't thought about this problem.

What was his reason for wanting to kill An Ruson?

Is it anger?

Is it a sense of justice?

Is it for self-protection?

Is it even based on my own mental mysophobia?

It seems possible, but neither seems appropriate.

"...I just feel that people like him shouldn't live in this world."

Lin Huai'en sighed silently and chose to be honest about his sincerity.

"Why?" Elsadova looked at him without any extra expression, and just asked quietly.

"Because there is no law sufficient to apply to him."

Lin Huai'en raised his hand indifferently, as if the gray anger was still in his hand: "The moment I talked to him, I knew that he and I could not become companions or help each other."

"Between me and him, one of us will definitely die."

"So, he's going to kill me."

"I'll kill him too."

However, Elsadova smiled sadly:

"But you didn't see that Anrusen didn't want to kill you at all."

The next second, Lin Huaien was kicked out of Elsadova's illusion.

.

Lin Huai'en coughed desperately, choking out the blood in his lungs.

He felt terribly uncomfortable all over, like a person who had had a high fever for more than ten days. His whole body was sore and painful, and he couldn't get excited.

However, the actual physical condition was still much better than he imagined.

Although his memory after injecting the violent potion into himself was very vague, he still remembered that before he fainted, his left chest was penetrated by Anrusen's side sword.

Judging from the position of the side sword, the heart should not have been injured, but the left lung lobe was undoubtedly punctured.

But after waking up, he didn't feel any problem with his lungs except coughing up a lot of blood.

"Is it Elsadova's treatment..." Lin Huai'en touched his chest and back. The penetrating wounds of flesh and blood were still there, but the ribs and alveoli had recovered, as well as the tendons on the feet. Except for the vague Apart from the discomfort, there was nothing strange.

"It seems that I thought [To Diana] was at least a second-level relic before, so I underestimated her..."

Lin Huai'en recalled the eccentric girl in the fantasy, couldn't help but sigh, and stood up.

Then, a voice came from behind him that startled him——

"I thought you were dead."

Lin Huai'en turned around suddenly and looked at the man in black with only half of his face left. He was speechless for a while, and then he couldn't help but said: "I thought you were dead."

Andrew sat slumped on the floor in front of the operating table, looking at him quietly, his expression returned to the way it was when Lin Huaien first saw him: "I also feel that...it has become like this, and I am almost dead." ."

"But the power of black salt is stronger than I expected."

Anrusen tilted his cheek slightly, letting Lin Huaien see that in his mind, a bunch of worm-like creatures were entangled together, swallowing black mucus at his wound.

As time went by, most of his cheek, which was chopped off by Lin Huaien, had mostly recovered.

Lin Huaien looked at An Lusen silently and smiled strangely: "So, what are you going to do? Lie to me and kill you again?"

Anrusen turned his disgusted head away and looked at him silently: "How much do you know?"

Lin Huai'en limped aside and picked up the Gray Fury:

"Not much, but I can guess it."

He walked to the console, looked at it, and then pressed a button on the console based on his own understanding.

The next second, a picture suddenly appeared on the monitor that was originally showing a white screen.

Lin Huai'en just glanced at it and recognized that what was playing on it were all surveillance pictures from the upper area——

Of course, not the latest one, but the previous monitoring records.

He even saw the young Elsadova on the largest screen, much younger than the spirit in the bracelet!

He looks like 15 or 6 years old at most.

"So, for more than a thousand years, you have been passing the time by looking at these surveillance records?"

Lin Huai'en turned around and looked at the "Holy Spirit" beside him——

"The flesh and blood of Telaris has given you eternal life and immortality. This is both a reward and a punishment for you."

"Becoming an immortal monster, but losing everything, you can only be trapped in this narrow shelter, constantly recycling the phantoms left by people in the past..."

"Is this the reason why you are seeking death?"

Lin Huai'en turned his head, looked at An Lusen's slightly sad eyes, and suddenly froze for a moment——

"No! There's something else wrong!"

He subconsciously turned his head and stared at the big screen on the monitor. It only took him more than ten seconds to confirm a fact——

"All the images played on the monitor screen are related to Elsadova!!!"

"Are you in love with her?!!!"

"when?!"

Lin Huai'en turned around suddenly and looked at the clown he didn't care about.

And Anrusen turned away his eyes and just looked faintly at the shadow deep in the monitoring room.

"...Probably more than ten years after she died."

As if he was remembering something, he lowered his gaze slightly:

"I fell in love with Anne when I was a child, so my parents were implicated by me and were kicked out of the upper class."

"So, I swear that I will never fall in love with anyone again."

"By the time I found out that I had fallen in love with Elsadova, she had turned into a complete monster."

"Every time I hear her occasional wails in cabin 101, I can't help but tremble all over."

"When I realized my sin, the curse of immortality had been tormenting me for almost two hundred years."

"Then it continued to torture me for another thousand years."

An Lusen looked at the gray anger in Lin Huaien's hand——

"The weapon in your hand was taken from the leader by the traitor. It is part of Lord Terraris's body, and it is the only thing that can kill us."

"So the moment I saw it, I already decided to let you kill me."

"Unfortunately, your strength is weaker than I thought. It is too difficult for me not to be suspicious and to let you kill me."

An Rusen raised his head silently and glanced at the big screen: "Elsadova told me a long time ago that I am not good at lying and pretending."

"..." Lin Huai'en took a deep breath: "So, what do you want to do next? It is more convenient for me to let you live if I agree in advance, because as long as I promise to kill you, you will accept me Please tell me everything you know in the shelter."

However, Anrusen shook his head: "I know, so everything I know has been handed over to you in advance."

Lin Huai'en was stunned for a moment: "Left it to me in advance?! When?"

Anrusen pointed to Lin Huaien's small backpack calmly: "In the small backpack you picked up, there is a map made of Telaris's skin."

"It is both a map and a book. My previous position was as the clerk of the shelter. I recorded everything I knew on that map one after another over the past thousand years."

"You defeated me. I wanted to give these things to you."

An Rusen took out a beautifully decorated small box from his arms with great difficulty - it could be seen that after his head was chopped off by Lin Huaien, most of his body could not move well now.

Anrusen placed the small box on the console and pushed it to Lin Huaien: "This contains a cursed prop made of Terraris's five fingers, and Terraris's index finger is also inside. Paired with it, you can find the information you want from Terraris's map."

"Just put the map and your index finger together, and they will automatically record what you want to record. When you want to see it, write it out and show it to you."

An Lusen saw Lin Huai'en silently opening the box and taking a look, then struggled to sit up and pressed a few times on the console——

"Finally, I will show you another piece of footage that is not recorded in the diary and that Elsadova asked me to give to you."

.

"Mark Vido Andruson."

"I know you're watching me."

Lin Huaien looked up at the big screen

On the screen was Elsadova Bryan, who was in her thirties.

He is almost ten years older than the weapon spirit in the bracelet. But there is no change in appearance, only the maternal nature in her body becomes stronger, and perhaps due to her experience as an administrator, she looks more calm and solemn than when she was young.

Even if she is just dressed like a housewife, people can still feel the perseverance, bravery, and gentle soul contained in that body.

She tied her long chestnut hair into a braid and hung it on her chest. She held a little girl who looked somewhat similar to her in her arms. While she gently patted the little girl's body, she looked at the place where the surveillance camera was. direction:

"I know you are watching us, watching us linger and fight each other."

"Watch us devouring each other, sacrificing the last bit of our humanity for a hope that doesn't exist."

"Ignoring my dissuasion, Jon and Annie killed the leader of Cabin 103, cut off his flesh and blood, and distributed it to the remaining prisoners. This ensured that they did not need to consume our food."

"And the people in Cabin 103, knowing clearly that after the first person was eaten, it would be their turn next, still rushed to eat the corpses of their original companions in order to live longer."

"I watched their behavior and I couldn't stop them."

"Because I am also an individual who benefits from this behavior just like them."

"I don't want to defend myself, but in my opinion, Joanna is far more worthy of living than us adults."

"I have tried my best to protect Joanna. I can't believe what a tragic fate she will experience after my death."

"However, even so, after three months, the food in cabins 101 and 103 is almost exhausted. Instead, it is the water source. After cabin 103 started cannibalism, you did not do anything."

"This must be what you want to see, right?"

"You must want to prove that as long as you are in the most desperate hell, everyone will make the same choice as you."

"You first killed Diana and the people in Cabin 102, and then waited for Anne and the people in Cabin 103 to turn into cannibals."

"Finally it was Cabin 101's turn. Even my husband, in order to leave his share of food to Joanna and me, chose to have dinner with Anne."

"I know that Joanna and I are both despicable, parasitic on the charity of others..."

"Perhaps, without Jon and Joanna, I would have already started eating people..."

"But..."

"Anruson."

Elsa Dova on the screen lowered her head and gently patted the body of the girl in her arms.

The little girl named Joanna looked thin and small due to long-term malnutrition, but she just bit the strap of her backpack and said nothing except coughing.

Only blood was seeping out from the corners of her mouth.

And Elsadova patted her back gently while shedding tears silently: "But, An Ruson."

"As humans, we cannot fly, but we have wings of choice."

"We can choose to live like beasts. When necessary, we will not hesitate to cannibalize ourselves as long as we can continue our lives and bloodlines."

"But to prove that there are things more important than our own lives, and we can also choose to face our own end when necessary."

"You just want us to die and watch us die in the most inhuman and twisted manner."

"But I won't give you that chance."

"Do you still remember the black salt I got from the cultist?"

"I didn't destroy it. I kept it in my backpack with the diary my mother gave me."

"Just now, I put it into the soup pot where human flesh was boiling."

"We are all sinners, so I will accept the punishment together with Jon and the others."

"But only Joanna is innocent. She should not die like a monster like us."

"So I made poison from the remains of poisonous plants in the greenhouse and fed it to her."

"If there are really later generations, they can see this image."

"I want to at least leave some hope for them——"

"Let them know that even in the last moments of mankind, at least someone is still standing and dying!"

The little girl in Elsadova's arms suddenly gasped twice violently, then stopped breathing and her body froze.

The chestnut-haired woman noticed this, lowered her head, hugged the girl's body, and cried silently for a while.

Then she wiped her tears, stood up, and gently laid the girl on the bed.

Opened the door and walked out.

[Anruson: I want to spread this hopeful image! 】

I’ll wrap things up tomorrow and start writing the following story.

Finally, I would like to recommend a song: [Although the singing is invisible (Although the song is invisible)], I listened to Naha Shiina’s version.
