Chapter 164 Bloodthirsty Nature
When night fell, the steel-cast Germa Kingdom was also covered with a layer of soft silvery white.
The starry sky over the sea is so beautiful, but not many people in this place will appreciate the stars.You Xiang came out of the room, it was so late, the corridor was not lit, and the dark corridor was only pale by the moonlight shining in from the huge French windows on the wall.
The atmosphere was a little scary. If it wasn't for Rossi being by her side, Youxiang would have already hid in the room.
"I accidentally fell asleep before..." Youxiang muttered while kneeling by the door, "But, Rossi, there is indeed a smell of blood coming from that direction."
"Hmm..." The sleeping cabbage is super cute.Will curl up!Really like cabbage!But... when it was almost nightfall, I felt a strange breath coming from outside the door.This is probably what Frey said about the feeling of 'the barrier is crumbling'.Rosie thought about it, saying, "I'm not sure, but it just feels like...something happened."
"I contacted Matthew, he was still in the laboratory, and said he didn't find anything unusual." Youxiang looked into the dark corridor, "Do you want to attack Mr. Yiji at night?"
"No!" Why do you want to go!Rossi immediately stopped You Xiang, saying, "Let's go ahead and have a look."
"Hey~~ Rosie suddenly became bolder!"
"I, how can I say I am also a navy!" Have you acted timid before?Rossi was a little unconvinced, and he said, "But... I always feel a little dangerous. Take my hand, Cabbage?"
"Rosie just wants to hold Xiangxiang's hand~" Even though he said so, Youxiang still took the hand that Rossi extended.
"Haha...you found out!" Rossi laughed, and he walked forward with Youxiang by the hand, "I've been thinking that there's a reason why Germa is called the Evil Legion. The manga in Beihai , although there is a certain amount of drama, but the navy will not come from nothing."
"Rosie likes the navy..."
"After all, I was raised by the Navy." It was the Warring States Chief who saved me.Rossi said, "Don't cabbages like navy?"
"It's not that I hate it... After all, Grandpa Garp is also a navy. However, I have seen many, many...Because the navy did not perform their duties, or accepted an easier solution, people who trusted them fell into misfortune "Youxiang said, "But, I also understand that whether it is a pirate or a navy, there are good people and bad people in it. No matter which side I have seen..."
"If you have to say it, Youxiang is neutral!" Youxiang looked up at Rossi, she laughed and said, "I won't say that a person is a good person or a bad person just because of his identity! Matthew also taught that Oh my!"
"Matthew is..." He really understood.Very understanding of human beings.Rossi smiled wryly, and said, "Youxiang is a good boy."
"Youxiang is already an adult, Rosie~"
"Of course, if you weren't an adult, I would be very troubled, right?"
"Troubled with what?"
"You actually asked me what bothered me..." Of course it was...forget it.Sure enough, he still didn't have Luo's courage.If it was him, he would definitely say loudly now: Of course it's something like marriage!something.I lost to you, Luo... Luo Xi thought to himself, he just clenched Youxiang's hand a little bit, and then changed the subject, "There seems to be no one around here."
"Hmm..." Rossi became a little strange again!He seems to be like this recently, is it really because of Germa's atmosphere?But having said that... Youxiang covered her nose and the lower half of her face, "But the smell of blood is so strong..."
Up ahead... there's a very, very bad smell.Rossi grabbed Youxiang and told her to stop and not go any further.In the depths of the windowless and pitch-black corridor ahead, the darkness continued to spread, and there was the premonition that 'if you go in, you can't get out'.Now Rosie felt as if he had finally mastered yet another demonic universal skill: perceiving danger.
This is the feeling of the barrier crumbling.There is a feeling that life and death are at the two ends of a line, and my heart is also tense, as if I know that if I go any further, something bad will happen.Speaking of which, when I was still alive, I felt this way from time to time.Like being in a hospital or passing by a cemetery and areas where mass casualties have occurred, murder scenes, etc...
But now it feels clearer than when it was a human being, and even the skin tingles.
"We can't go any further, Cabbage." It may not be dangerous to herself, but for Youxiang, her own 'talent' is very sensitive to such things, even in the sun, she may be killed. Hang on, if you step forward unsuspectingly, I'm afraid it will cause more trouble, "Shall we retreat to the place where there is light over there?"
"Hmm...? Did Rosie find anything?"
"It's not so much that I found something, it's better to say that I'm a little scared." Sure enough, Germa's place is not as 'safe' as expected.Indeed, this may be an iron wall that the Emerald Isle will never be able to penetrate, but it is a 'thatched hut' that the devil can easily break through.
Rossi pulled Youxiang back to the bright moonlight caused by the huge floor-to-ceiling windows she saw when she came here just now, and she felt safer in places with light.And just at this moment, there were footsteps in the darkness opposite.
The man's footsteps were a little slow, and his voice was particularly loud in the silent corridor at night.The voice sounded a little shambling, stopping every now and then, as if resting.From time to time there was the sound of cloth rubbing against the wall, maybe he was walking against the wall.
Youxiang felt a little scared, she grabbed Rossi's clothes, and almost hid behind him, until the person who was walking step by step emerged from the darkness, and a little bit of moonlight shone on him, and he looked up in surprise. Start to look over: "Master...?"
"Zed?!" Youxiang jumped out from behind Rossi, she saw that Zed was covered in blood, his white shirt was almost dyed red, and there were scratches and tears, which would have been visible under the light. The pretty dark blue fur was now pitch black because it couldn't reflect light normally even with the blood stains on it. He wiped the blood on his face in a panic, and then took two quick steps back, letting the darkness cover his body. shape--
"It's so late...why is the master here?" His voice was very low, as he always did when he was talking to Youxiang, "But... since I met the master here, can the master allow me...today, This night, by Master's side? I will obediently wait outside the door for dawn... So, just allow me to lean against Master's door."
Zed... what's going on?This is... Youxiang came out from behind Rossi. She tried to get closer to Zed, but just as she took a step forward, Zed quickly took two steps back. She said anxiously: "Zed, what happened?" ?Are you hurt?"
"It's not a serious injury." Zed didn't look into Youxiang's eyes, he lowered his head slightly and said, "It's just that His Highness Jiaji changed the training method today..."
"...What training method?" Youxiang knew that this was definitely not an answer she would like, but she had to ask clearly now.
"..." Zed hesitated and didn't speak, he started to back up again, and he spoke after a few seconds, "I don't know... is that right. But I have the perfect execution All the skills to do things. His Highness Jiaji said, only when I do well, can I stay with the master. Because I was born for this."
"Zed..."
"Don't come here master! Please..." Don't look at me now!Not pretty at all, not 'cute' at all, is it?Definitely not your 'puppy' look.And it's dirty, it's dirty everywhere, it'll get you dirty too.Your beautiful hair is a little wavy, with a luster like the sea at night, and eyes like a frozen lake in winter——
They'll all get dirty if they're near me.I don't want that to happen.
"Okay." Youxiang stopped, she returned to the brightest place illuminated by the moon, and then said, "But Zed has to walk over by himself."
"……Hey?"
"You just said that you want to stay outside my door tonight? No way. If Zed keeps hiding there, no way." Youxiang feels that she is a bit bad now, but if not, the puppy will Afraid of saying nothing, "I'll be right here for you, Zed."
"..." The master...although he seems to be a bit harsh on him, but he doesn't hate him...Zed paused for a while, and then finally walked up to Youxiang. He hugged his arm a little awkwardly. Whether there were some injuries, he still didn't dare to look You Xiang in the eyes, and he still spoke in a very low voice: "Is the master angry?"
Now worry a little more.Seeing this body of blood, combined with Germa's style, You Xiang can almost make a good guess.She raised her hand and wiped the smudges on Zed's face with her sleeve. If you look carefully, there are also some small wounds on the face, but fortunately, when those golden eyes are finally willing to look at her, among them Also restored some shine.
"Zed, just like His Royal Highness Jiaji said, you were indeed made as some kind of 'weapon' at the beginning." Youxiang said while cleaning up the blood and wounds for him, "Germa is a In the kingdom that controls the war, they think that people only need to be physically strong, and they even think that emotions are unnecessary burdens. You would have become like this country."
"—but that's already a previous 'script'."
It's different now.It's completely different.Youxiang said: "Do you know why you wake up? Because Germa's experiment failed, they wanted to create a 'weapon' of you, but failed, so the one named 'Shadow Gold' Weapons don't actually exist. Now you, Zed, although it's a secret to Germa, I can tell you now, Zed, was identified in 'Shadow Gold' almost a month ago When it's 'dead'—”
"There's a group of people, people you've never met, they've never met you, or even just heard about you for the first time, putting on hold great promises, thrilling adventures, possible plans Ten years of planning, just to let you, let 'Zed' be born in the world."
"Therefore, His Highness Jiaji was wrong, and Germa was also wrong. Zed was not born as a 'weapon', he was born with people's pure goodwill towards people they have never met."
Zed didn't know what to say, his body froze in place, and the pain that had been ignored suddenly became more painful.He felt some dull pain in his internal organs, especially a dull pain coming from the heart.He shed tears. Although he was not sure, he felt that this should not be sadness, but joy.
"Owner……"
"Yeah. It's okay." Because Zed made a sound like a puppy while crying, Youxiang opened his hands to hug him, and Zed bent down and leaned his head gently On Youxiang's shoulder, so that Youxiang can touch his head smoothly, "It's fine, Zed. Don't be so sad..."
"...I killed them, Master." Zed's arms tightened a little, and he said, "Those soldiers who were created like me. I killed them all."
So, what does everyone mean...?
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry that I didn't have the master's expectations and expectations...I...when I killed them, I felt 'it doesn't matter'. I think...as long as I can be by the master's side, it doesn't matter who I kill .” That’s not right, it must be wrong.But there was no hesitation at the moment when he started.
Shadow Gold is still the living master, he lives in my body, and he will appear when I pick up a knife or a murder weapon.And unfortunately, he also likes me, likes you, likes you, likes you... so much that he wants to kill all the obstacles that stand in our way—
He is cunning.After he did it he would hide.Get behind me.That way the master won't blame him.Because the master is like... like when I talk to me every day when I can't move, always so gentle, always so kind, you must be, you won't blame me.
So cunning, so annoying... I hate myself like this, I hate everything I have.Only those unique and gentle voices in memory, I don't want to forget them no matter what.It's like a light, a straw, I want to grab it, I want to hold it in my arms, it's my only treasure.
"...It is indeed wrong to kill someone casually, Zed." Although Youxiang was taken aback by 'everyone', she calmed down quickly, and she said, "But it is indeed Germa's standard...I just handed you over to them when you just woke up, so it must be wrong."
"Master?" No, why is it the master's fault...
"I can't help it." Youxiang let go of Zed now, and took his hand, "Let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"Let's go to Germa's prince and ask him to help us." Youxiang said confidently, "Since Zed has reached this point, he can satisfy any 'buyer'. So, that's enough. It's time for us to leave Germa."

The author has something to say:
cute puppy×
Cold-blooded killer√
After all, it is a manufactured weapon, so it must not be a pure person... Matthew also said that his performance has exceeded expectations.
Although he is really cute and cute most of the time, if he is given an order, he can also complete it perfectly.That's the kind of person.
By the way, Zed's feelings are all true, he is a person who doesn't know how to pretend.This is indeed very similar to a real dog.
I once read someone said that there was a dog who lived in the dog race since he was a child. During training, people would pull a puppet like a small animal in front of him to let him chase, so he developed a habit of chasing and running. 'The habit of the little things.
Later, the dog was retired and adopted by ordinary people.When the new owners took it to play on the lawn, it saw a cat.So the habit it had formed broke out again, chasing the cat crazily.At last it caught up with the cat and tore it to pieces.However, after this, the blood-stained dog just sat there dumbly, not knowing what to do or what to do.Because in the arena, it will never be able to catch up with the 'cat' in front of it.No one ever told what to do when it caught up, what would happen.
——Zed is in this state of a dog.He does not have any real 'survival experience'.All knowledge is instilled in him by people.He only learned what others wanted him to learn.A cold-blooded killer doesn't need to sympathize with the dead, let alone repent, he just needs to complete the task perfectly.And Matthew cunningly planted a seed in the killer's heart. Among the instilled countless killing skills, there are real human beings (You Xiang)'s kind greetings and relaxed chats, those seemingly meaningless contents, That's the only reason Zed would fight his killer's instincts and feel like 'this is wrong'.
