Prologue Childish People(2/4)
When he mentioned hatred, Sere couldn't help but laugh, but this laughter was full of self-sarcasm.
The woman fell silent, faint sobbing sounded, and Sere looked blankly at the outside world, guessing that he was leaving again.
"Is it really not possible? Sere." the woman asked for the last time.
Sere responded with silence.
The woman's expression turned from pain to indifference, and finally she looked at Serei just as Serei looked at herself.
She clapped her hands, and the door was kicked open. A group of fully armed knights rushed in. They raised their swords and set up shields, and quickly surrounded Sere.
Serei was not surprised by this. He had experienced similar situations many times. Sometimes Serei wondered whether his life had entered some kind of reincarnation, and he was just repeating it over and over again until he
Tired of all this.
The woman ordered, "Kill him!"
The knights roared and swung their swords forward. The swords slashed Sere repeatedly, but Sere did not resist. He allowed himself to be chopped into pieces of flesh and blood, and the pieces of meat flew. Soon, Sere turned into a bloody corpse.
In the blood everywhere, the woman supported the knight, stood up with difficulty, and looked at Sere's body.
She said expectantly, "Come and be happy, come and be happy."
Like a magic spell, the body that was supposed to be dead actually moved. This scene scared the surrounding knights back a few steps. In the pool of blood, Sere staggered to his feet. The hideous wound healed quickly, and within seconds Sere
All the injuries on his body were healed, and only the scarlet blood on the ground proved that what just happened was not an illusion.
The woman shouted excitedly, "You are really immortal!"
She directly grabbed the sword in the knight's hand, raised it with difficulty, and threatened, "Serre, tell me the secret of eternal life!"
What responded to her was a rapid burst of scarlet light, as if a storm had descended on the room. The woman was hit by an invisible force and was slapped back on the bed fiercely.
Her vision was in chaos, and she couldn't see anything. There was a series of clanking metal collisions in her ears, followed by the shrill screams of the knights. The pungent smell of blood filled the air, as if there were tons of blood.
is flowing.
The chaos only lasted less than a minute. When the woman struggled to get up from the collapsed bed, the room was in a mess, with severed limbs and blood everywhere. The armor was twisted, crushing the knights' bodies into pieces.
Meatballs.
Sere stood among the corpses, the corners of his mouth covered with blood, and in his hands was a corpse with its neck bitten off.
Only then did the woman wake up and realize what kind of monster she had been living with day and night for so many years. She also realized how crazy and stubborn she had done to avoid death.
She murmured, "I'm sorry..."
Serei looked at the woman, picked up the black umbrella in the corner, passed the corpses, and walked towards the door.
The woman knew that Sere had left this time and he would never come back again, so she shouted at her back.
"Sere!"
Sere paused for a moment, then turned his head, "I can't give you the immortality you want, so don't embarrass me anymore."
The woman seemed to have given up her attachment to the undead, "No... Serei, I just want to ask, have you really loved me?"
"Of course," Sere affirmed, "I loved you."
Hearing this, the woman laughed heartily, her laughter gradually getting out of control, and finally turned into a hysterical roar.
"No, you monster, you don't understand what love is."
In an instant, the woman thought about many things clearly, "I'm not the first, and I'm definitely not the last, right!"
At this time, the woman did not feel sad about her own death, but felt sad about the time she had spent with Sere for so many years.
"You don't love me at all, I'm just a little pet you use to kill time..."
She scratched her cheek and it was bloody.
"You never loved me..."
Facing this scene, Serei's heart was still not touched at all. Just like before, he was already very familiar with this scene and was used to it. Serei could even guess what the woman would say next.
The woman begged, "Will you remember me?"
Sere said, "I guessed it."
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then Serei turned around and left, completely disappearing from her life. No matter how much she cried to stay, Serei's pace never slowed down for a moment.
After leaving the castle, Sere realized that this was the first time he had left this place in so many years. He found that the outside world had changed a lot. People had laid railways in the wilderness and trains rumbled past.
Sere liked this new thing, which was much faster than a horse-drawn carriage. In the next few years, he took the train to many places and experienced several "loves". Some only lasted a few days and nights, while others
It's a few months.
By chance, Sere met a very interesting woman, and the two chatted very well.
"Actually, I am an immortal."
One night, Sere suddenly said to this woman.
"Huh? Are you kidding me?"
"What I said is true."
Sere said, picking up the knife and slitting his own throat, blood flowing out.
The woman was completely frightened. Before she could scream in fear, Sere's wound had healed. He also held the woman's hand and let her touch the smooth skin to ensure that the wound had healed on its own.
"Is this magic?" The woman had tears in her eyes, her mood completely disturbed by Sere.
"It's not magic, it's true immortality."
Sere performed finger cutting and self-healing in front of her again.
Although the process was outrageous, the woman still spent one night accepting Serre's identity as an undead person.
"According to the plot in the novel, shouldn't you undead hide your identities?" the woman asked puzzledly, while cutting small incisions on Sere's body to observe their self-healing.
"Logically speaking, I would do this to avoid trouble," Sere looked into her eyes, "but I think you are very interesting, and I want to see your reaction."
"How do you think I will react? Seeking immortality from you and becoming an immortal like you?"
"almost."
"It sounds like someone did this before me. What was the result?"
"It's very sad."
"Knew it……"
"Then do you want to become an immortal?" Sere tested the woman.
"Well..." She looked at Serei carefully and shook her head, "No, I don't want it."
An unexpected answer.
"Look at yourself, Sere."
"What's wrong with me?"
"You are bright and beautiful on the outside, but you are actually rotten into a ball of stinky mud on the inside." The woman fiddled with her skirt, making it ripple like a butterfly, "I don't want to be like you."
"So you refuse to die?"
"uh-huh."
Sere looked at the woman in front of him carefully. It was the first time in so many years that he met such an interesting person. Because of this, Sere rarely had the idea of going deeper with her.
So another year passed, Serei wore straight clothes, and the woman wore a pure white wedding dress. The two held hands and entered the palace of marriage.
There were not many people attending the wedding, most of them were friends and relatives of the woman. Under everyone's gaze, Sere embraced the woman and waited for the oath.
"Sere, I love you." the woman said.
"I love you too."
"No, our love is different."
"Why?"
"In your life, you have loved many people, Sere, but I am different. In my life, I have only loved you."
The woman asked again, "Do you remember those people who once held hands with you?"
Sere wanted to lie, but this time he didn't, "I can't remember clearly. This is the disadvantage of a life that is too long. Many people's seemingly precious experiences are just normal to me, so they gradually fade and become
An ordinary grain of dust."
"What a pity... Then will I be forgotten by you? Will you still remember me in one hundred, two hundred, or even one thousand years?"
The woman held his neck and kissed his lips.
Serei didn't speak. He didn't want to lie, but he couldn't give an absolute promise.
As if the woman knew his little thoughts, she continued, "I love you, Sere, I love you very much, but I will not become an immortal like you. I know what that means."
"We may be able to spend hundreds or thousands of years together, but I know that time will make our relationship deteriorate, and no matter how brilliant our love is, it will fade into vulgarity.
You may hate me, and I may hate you. The more we love each other now, the more we will hate each other when the time comes, vowing to crush each other to ashes."
She hugged Sere's head, kissed his cheek, and licked his earlobe.
