C43 About Immortality

I didn't expect that the one who blocked the knife for 43 would be my mother.

The knife stabbed my mother's shoulder.

"Mom!"

My mother fell.

"Mom!" "Mom!" I threw myself at my mother and hugged her. Are you alright? "

The blood on my mother's shoulders was spreading, her skirt was stained red, and the roof was dark. I couldn't see anything, just a warm, unstoppable liquid.

"Mom..." Mom, wake up … "Sob, sob, sob …"

"Don't …" Suddenly, my mother let out a vague sentence from her mouth.

"Don't... "Kill my child …"

I was stunned.

My mother used only a tiny bit of her own consciousness to block the knife for 43.

But why did Mom protect forty-three?

There were two possibilities. The first was that although the brain damage was very severe, the mother sensed that her child was in danger. Instinctively, she tried her best to protect her child. But my mother's consciousness was already very fuzzy. She didn't distinguish between me and 43, she just subconsciously tried to protect the person who was being attacked.

The other possibility was that the person she wanted to protect was Alpha. Maybe she had forgotten that Alpha had died many years ago, even though she was unconscious.

But my mother did block it on her own.

"... It's impossible for her to still have consciousness … " murmured.

"Mommy …" "Wake up …" I put my arm around my mother's body and pressed hard against her wound. Her blood was cold from the wind on the roof.

"..." "Why …" 43 Before I could finish, I heard two shots.

"Bang!" "Bam!"

One shot in the belly of forty-three, the other in his lungs.

I was stunned. The people who came up to the balcony were Shuyue and a few foreigners that I had never seen before.

He was shot twice but did not fall.

It didn't show any expression of pain, not even a hint of fear. There was no surprise or anger on its face.

"Don't come over here, or they'll both die." He spoke slowly in English.

The two foreigners wearing black suits wanted to continue walking, but Shuyue stopped them immediately.

"Mommy …" "Mom …" I put my arms around my mother and tried to warm her, but I could feel her hands growing colder.

No matter how much I cried, my mother didn't react at all.

After a moment's hesitation, I put my mother down on the ground, turned around, and climbed up to the edge of the balcony. The wind on the balcony was so strong that I could see a few black Audi parked at the bottom of the street. One of them looked up and saw me.

One more step and I'll fall.

"What are you doing!?" Come down! Wang- "Shuyue shouted in the wind.

"Shuyue! Don't come near me! " I interrupted her loudly.

I didn't look back, and couldn't see Shuyue's expression.

"I've already thrown the syringe away. If you want to avenge your brother, you've already killed my dad. I can also die right now." I took a deep breath. "But I beg you, please let my mother go. If she doesn't go to the hospital now, she will die …"

"Please..."

Closing my eyes, I put one foot out --

Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't manage to protect Mom.

We're going to meet soon.

His head hurt!

I felt a powerful consciousness surge into my mind.

Then my body went out of control.

By the time I reacted, I had already fallen back to the ground with a thud.

43 Standing in front of me. He looked down at me.

There was a complicated look in its eyes, and I couldn't explain it. It seemed to be confused, disgusted, and disappointed.

There's something else I don't understand.

I didn't know what it was going to do. Instinctively, I stood in front of my mother.

He didn't look at me again. Instead, he raised his head and looked past me to higher ground. In less than a second, a dazzling spark burst from the concrete beside him.

The bullet missed.

A bullet hole appeared in the ground, followed by a scream from the direction of the voice. A figure fell from the top floor of another building not far away.

"Don't you understand me?" His voice suddenly became very cold.

"You won't be able to escape." A foreigner standing beside Shuyue said.

"In addition to the one that just fell, there are two other snipers nearby. There are six people downstairs. Including you guys, there are a total of 12 people." Alpha's voice did not contain the slightest bit of emotion as he continued, "I can at least kill seven people before your head explodes — if I'm lucky, and also the one in your car. Should I try my luck? "

The expression of the foreigner who spoke changed visibly.

"Let me finish."

Alpha turned around and looked at me with disdain:

"You think you can put an end to everything just by jumping in with that syringe?"

I froze.

When I asked him, I didn't answer him. How did he know the syringe was in my pocket?

"How do you know?"

"There will often be people who pay too much attention to my special abilities, forgetting that I'm a military machine trained by the Spring of Life." He snorted. "You don't have the guts to risk your only bargaining chip. If what you're holding is a real syringe, why wouldn't you dare to answer me?"

43 As soon as I got out of the taxi, I was struggling to decide whether to put the real syringe in the bag or not.

I've never experienced anything like this before, and the solution was only temporary. I had no idea if it would work.

What if the wind blows too hard when I stretch out my hand? Maybe I was shaking when I got there?

Then I don't even have room for negotiation.

After some hesitation, I tied the two bottles together in my schoolbag and hid the real syringe in my uniform pocket instead.

As expected, I am still a high school student with a poor IQ.

"You obviously guessed it, why did you …" I wanted to ask him why he didn't control me directly, but he interrupted me.

"It's not important."

It's not important, it's 43's catchphrase. Perhaps on the day he emerged from the smoke of the Fountain of Life farm, none of this mattered to him.

"Actually, that syringe is of no use to me at all." "Didn't you ask me why I didn't let you and your parents go?"

I held my breath. Alpha died because of my parents, and he came here today for revenge.

After saying that, he would probably make a move on my mom and me.

I subconsciously hugged my mother tightly. Ye Zichen took out the real syringe from his pocket and carefully reached outside the rooftop.

I can't save my mother now, but this thing has killed so many people. No one else can have it.

"Perhaps eternal life is too boring for me."

43 suddenly self-deprecatingly smiled and suddenly looked at me:

"Or perhaps it's because I'm jealous of you."

I froze.

Jealousy? Would it be jealous?

Jealous of what?

He took a sudden step forward and stepped over the edge of the roof, looking down at one of the Audi parked downstairs. His eyes focused on the person inside the car like bullets.

The next second, there were three gunshots.

It happened so fast that before I could understand what was going on, 43 shoulders, throat, and thighs were shot straight down from my side.

There are times when you don't know why you're doing something.

For example, I don't know why I tried to reach out and grab it.

His hand was so thin that I grabbed his arm.

But in the end I was too weak to hold on for more than a few inches. Finally, he took its hand.

Fortunately, its appearance was that of a child's, so it could not be considered heavy.

However, he wouldn't be able to hold on for too long. In a few minutes I'd probably be dislocated too.

There are times when you decide to do something on the spur of the moment for no reason at all.

He could have killed me, but he didn't.

Just like how I wasn't a white lotus since I was young, yet I managed to pull it back even though he was clearly the murderer.

Sometimes, human nature was much more complex than the straightforward good and evil in the TV series. There was no sense of benevolence or viciousness.

There are many times when good and bad, good and evil, are just a way of looking at things, not a conclusion. We are only abetted and pushed by a pluralistic destiny to make a binary choice.

By the time I grabbed him, his throat was shot through and he couldn't speak.

He looked at me, his eyes calm.

I heard its voice, echoing in my head.

"Let go, I won't die, just take it as sleep."

"The old man in the car is dying. I can feel that he's risking his life to come here today because he can't wait to get my ability. "

"Ironically, there are many people in this world who seek eternal life, but they are unable to escape death no matter what. I wanted to die, but I managed to survive. I've met people with countless goals. For the sake of immortality, for the sake of war, for the sake of strength! People are always insatiable. "

"I didn't choose to live forever. I have no other choice."

"I don't want to live anymore. After today, I don't even have a target of hatred anymore. There is no meaning in being kind to me. I will let you go, but no one will let me go. As long as there is desire in this world, I do not have a peaceful day. "

43 Again his perfect, yet formal smile.

Only this time, its smile seemed a little sad.

"I didn't kill your father."

My eyes widened. "What did you say?"

"It's not important."

43 Released his hand.

The moment it fell, everything went black in front of my eyes.

Nothing could be seen or heard.

There was no sound at all.

There was no light.

I saw a very tall door.

At the last moment, it gave me memories of the Gate.
