Chapter 59: Please kill me

I stood up from the ground and looked at the calm sea in front of me in surprise, and also at the purple figure not far away. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, so I rubbed my eyes and just wanted to look a little more carefully.

But the facts proved that I was not mistaken. Although I saw only a back view, this back view was crouching, hunched over, and shaking its shoulders.

What is this thing? Could it be that the illusion we just had was not the purple monster leaving?

But it’s different! How is it different? Because this purple figure is much larger, it looks like an adult figure, not the purple monster from before, which was only the size of a baby!

Looking at the older generation and the people who were still in a daze, I and Chengxin, who was the first to wake up, exchanged glances with Ruyue, and then I don’t know what I was thinking, I picked up a branch and carefully walked over while drinking and shouting.

Chengxin and Ruyue followed behind me!

Until we got very close, the purple figure still didn’t move, still crouching there, still crying.

I don’t know why, but suddenly I felt a little sad in my heart. I couldn’t say why, but I held up the branch and poked the purple figure. Ru Yue suddenly covered her mouth and looked at me, her face tense. Cheng Xin looked at my expression and expressed one emotion鈥攜ou’re crazy.

But I wasn’t scared at all. On the contrary, the feeling of sadness in my heart was getting stronger and stronger, and I had the intuition that there was no danger.

The monster, which had been poked a few times by the branch, no longer had its shoulder twitching. It seemed to be stunned for a moment, then turned around. At the moment it turned around, Chengxin and Ruyue couldn’t help but let out a “ah” sound.

If the appearance of the little monster is strange, it is only frightening. After all, its insect-like features account for a large part of it, and everyone knows that it is not of our kind.

But this figure in front of us can be seen at a glance as a human being. It has human features and a clear figure. If you have to say it is different, it is that the skin has turned purple and is crusty! Then there are two bulging bags on the forehead, which immediately make people think of the tentacles on the head of the little monster.

As for the rest, what can I say? It was as if his face had already developed into that of the monster. After I realized that it was a human, I changed the word to “he,” and I was somewhat relieved. But the next moment, I also let out a cry.

Because I recognized the purple figure鈥攊t was Gao Ning! He really was Gao Ning.

Since his face had changed a lot due to the development of the little monster, I didn’t recognize him at first, but when I saw those familiar eyes, I knew that this strange man was Gao Ning!

Chengxin brother heard me and said, “Chengyi, do you have a nickname for being slow?”

I coughed a few times, not knowing how to tell Chengxin that I was worried about him. Ruoyue looked at me worriedly, and then sincerely asked Chengxin, “Chengxin, you studied medicine. Have you ever seen someone suddenly become mentally ill from being scared? Third brother…”

When he heard this, the hateful Cheng Xin Ge fell into deep thought. I finally recovered and pointed at the purple figure and said, “He… he…”

“What?” Cheng Xin Ge and Ru Yue asked me at the same time.

But at this moment, a strange voice interrupted us. It sounded like human speech composed of insect chirps. I don’t know if anyone can understand this description, but it sounds very uncomfortable. But it can still express the meaning very clearly: “He just recognized me!”

The purple bug man said this, which scared Cheng Xin Ge and Ru Yue. Cheng Xin Ge’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, and he asked me, “Who is he?”

I took a deep breath and said, “Gao Ning!”

This time, it was Cheng Xin Ge and Ru Yue who were shocked.

At that moment, footsteps sounded behind us, and then my master’s voice came. He wasn’t talking to us, but to Gao Ning: “I knew you would come here. Your madness has failed after all. You haven’t achieved your goal with this. What will you do now?”

Gao Ning looked deeply at my master, and after a long time, he said, “Kill me. Please kill me.”

My master sighed, but I looked at Gao Ning in disbelief. This person who sought to become immortal and pursue immortality actually asked my master to kill him. What would my master say?

“Kill me, please kill me…” Gao Ning suddenly stood up as if he had met a savior, then threw himself at my master, holding my master’s legs and begging him repeatedly.

I looked at Gao Ning with pity. The moment he stood up, I noticed that there were lumps on both sides of his chest and back, similar to tumors. It was not hard to imagine that he would eventually turn into the little monster.

Facing Gao Ning’s plea, my master, with his hands clasped behind his back, looked up at the blue sky and the warm sunshine of the morning and said, “Look how beautiful the world is, with its blue sky and warm sunshine. Even if you only have a few decades in this world, you can still be moved by life every moment, live a kind and fulfilling life, and leave without any regrets. But why do some people choose to abuse their own lives? If you don’t have it in your life, you’ll try to get it by force, by jealousy, by slander, by any means necessary. You’ll make every day of your life a purgatory, far from beauty and hope, and in the end, you’ll get nothing.

Gao Ning began to tremble, only crying non-stop. His face was so strange that even his tears were no longer crystal clear, but had turned into a pale yellow liquid. At this moment, I felt sad and thought that what the master said was very meaningful.

“Do you regret it? When ordinary people die, they still have souls and a cycle of reincarnation. In the end, you will not even leave a trace, and your soul will be devoured by worms, just like him.” The master was pointing at the corpse of the old monster, which had already turned to charcoal.

“Kill me, please kill me…” Gao Ning began to keep on bowing to the master, pleading with the master in a hoarse, ugly voice.

The master sighed, and at this time, Uncle Wang and Uncle Chen also came over. Uncle Chen was the softest of the older generation. He said to my master, “Let him go. Although we have proven something that we are not sure about, we have proven to a certain extent that heaven will let dust return to dust and soil return to soil, and will take back things that do not belong here. But he already knows that he is wrong, so there is no need to let him suffer such torture. His own will has disappeared, and in the end, it is just…”

Uncle Wang said, “In the end, it was only discovered that the goal had been achieved, but he had already disappeared. Like that stupid old monster! For hundreds of years, he has harmed the lives of so many people.”

The master took out a box from the yellow cloth bag he was carrying. I had seen that box before. When sealing the Hungry Ghost Tomb, the master took out a box like that one. It contained silver talismans. Was it the same this time?

As he took out the box, Master said, “Actually, I’ve already prepared this for him. We all knew he would return, we just didn’t know for sure, only that it would happen. Now that it has happened, we don’t need to worry too much about the bugs that have fallen into that organization. I have my own way to solve some things.”

Master Wang and Master Chen said at the same time, “We know, isn’t it all together?”

The master smiled slightly, and Grandma Ling Qing and Uncle Hui also said, “We are also going to be together.”

What are we going to do together? I don’t understand at all. I just wanted to ask the master, but unexpectedly, the master didn’t want to continue the topic. He just called me: “Chengyi, take a break for a while, and then use the Zhongmao technique again. This talisman, you should ask the master to use it more confidently. You must use it to kill Gao Ning, and also end the old relationship between the master and Grandma Gao Ning.”

I took the box and nodded in agreement. I never thought that one day I would actually kill Gao Ning myself, and Gao Ning would look at me and Master with eyes full of gratitude and emotion.

“Every day, I always lose control of myself for two hours late at night. At that time, I always feel like a bug, and I need people’s energy to sustain my growth and evolution. Thank you, Master Jiang, thank you, Chengyi. The only thing I did right in my life is that after I became like this, I never killed a single person, not a single person.” Gao Ning said to us.

I was sad and speechless. I didn’t know what to say to him. Should I say that I will kill you well?

Gao Ning said, “I feel that something will happen here. It is my only hope. I came here at the call. But I just learned that I have no hope at all. I was rejected. I am a monster. Chengyi, I don’t want to be a monster like this anymore. I hope that after I die, there will still be a complete and clean Gao Ning’s soul. So… I hope you can do it as soon as possible, no later than tonight. Every day when I am a worm, it is getting longer and longer. I don’t want to live like this anymore.”

I don’t want to see Gao Ning’s sadness anymore, so I turned around and nodded.
