Chapter 187 Reasons to Stay

448

After Byam regained his composure, Azik, who had witnessed the whole process with Klein, said goodbye softly and prepared to leave.

Klein quickly stopped him.

"Mr. Azik, I have something to ask you." Klein hesitated for a moment before speaking out the troubles and pain that had been lingering in his heart for a day and a night.

Azik responded softly: "What's the matter?"

"I'm sorry, maybe it will reveal your scars..."

"Some things happened to me, and these things made me realize that Edward Vaughn did not deceive me. I did, I did... I really came from an ancient era, the past world." Klein spent a lot of time.

It took a lot of effort to say this. He was no longer a crazy adventurer, he was young and looked like an ordinary college student, "...I always thought this was another world. I thought that my family and my friends were all still here.

Waiting for me, so I tried hard to find a way to go home... As a result, I suddenly learned that I may be a survivor from the past, brought to the present by the 'Origin Castle', my family, friends, everything is gone

Already..."

Listening to Klein's increasingly deep and ethereal voice, Azik seemed to have some realization.

"...Time." Azik said with emotion, "In my countless past lives, I rarely had the opportunity to miss the past, because when I think of those past, my life has already

Went to the end.”

"I have become cold, heartless, unable to feel sadness and happiness."

It has existed for a long time, but it only lives for the sake of existence. Maybe it has some wishes and goals in its long life, but in the end they are all silent in darkness and coldness. Life after time often ends too quickly,

A few short decades were not enough for him to organize everything into a book every time he regained his memory. He could only repeat the endless confusion and confusion.

Azik originally thought this was his own problem, but now he gradually discovered that there was a shadow of a mastermind behind every part of his life.

Just like the god himself, he has been standing in the shadows, watching eagerly, whispering to him to go to the southern continent, to the violent sea, to respond to the believers there, to follow the call of spirituality and destiny, and to do something that he can no longer remember.

Very important thing.

However, these whispers and calls will not make him feel close to the Southern Continent. They will only make him reject the real self and only want to live for those memories that still have warmth even if they are conspiracies. The wives and friends he once had

, parents, and children are all real, and even if you want to hate them, it will not fall on them, but on those who take advantage of their kindness and beauty. Azik keeps thinking about those memories, fighting against the calls in his ears.

And instinctive thoughts, the only things that have accompanied him for countless years are those memories.

It turns out that this is loneliness, the feeling of walking for a long time only to find that there is no one behind you when you look back.

"Zhou Mingrui...what do you think of Melissa and Benson?"

He spoke carefully.

"In this world so far, has there been even a moment that made you want to stay?"

"Do you want to stay..."

Klein whispered bitterly.

Actually, Mr. Azik, the first time I woke up, what I wanted to do was to immediately hold a transfer ceremony and go back, because their younger brother, older brother "Klein" has died. If I live, and then die one day

It would only cause secondary harm. I didn’t want to deceive them, and I also didn’t want to stay here. I just wanted to go back quickly and return to my real family and friends. As a result, I contacted Yuanbao by mistake and became

Mr. "Fool"...

From the time I woke up to now, I have only spent more than seven months. This short period of time has been filled with "revenge against Lanerwus", "becoming stronger", and "revenge against Ince Zangwill".

"" and other detailed goals, Klein has been busy, never touching the ground, and has no time to think about it. He even deliberately avoids matters such as finding a way to go back.

After he was woken up by a heavy hammer from the true Creator, "This is the Earth tens of millions of years from now", he felt like a person who had been in a daze and suddenly had a basin of ice water poured on him. While he was completely cold from top to bottom, he also

Spent the first quiet night.

Thinking of this, Klein felt a little guilty towards the true Creator.

"In my time, there were many fantasy works about people who suddenly arrived in another world one day..."

And it is a very popular subject. Even if you have never seen it, you probably know what it is about.

Azik understood: "So, you behaved very well that day, and Melissa and the others did not send you to the Church of the Night."

Klein smiled bitterly: "Yes."

"What happens after that?"

"Melissa...Melissa is a good child, well-behaved and sensible, even a little too sensible. She is used to living a hard life, and she is trembling when happiness comes. She is always worried about the future..." Thinking of that young age,

But for a girl who wears old dresses of old colors and styles all year round, Klein's mood was slightly aroused and he gradually spoke more, "Benson is also a good brother. He works hard and uses his meager salary to support his parents after their death."

I raised two younger brothers and sisters on my own, and also gave my younger sister a basic school education... I didn't have any biological brothers or sisters in the past, but I know that it would be difficult for me to do as well as Benson."

The father of the three siblings was an Army sergeant. After his death, almost all the subsidies were used to support Klein's education.

In this era when a single illness can send the middle class into slums, knowledge is the only means to change class.

"Klein" also worked hard. He went to college and finally graduated. He was good enough to stay in school as a lecturer. He will become the new mainstay of the family. This is a very generous salary, enough for Morey.

The Dee family slowly moved out of the dirty, cramped rental apartment...

"...If the family that has been with him for so long disappears with the hope that life will get better, his brother and sister will definitely be very sad, right? Even like what is written in the novel, it is not a serious illness that will lead to death.

Impossible... So, now that I have become him and have his memory, I can't worry about the two of them even more. So I decided to temporarily shoulder the responsibility of supporting this family, at least - I don't know when I will

Leaving, I want, at least after I leave, allows them to spend the rest of their lives in peace."

The clouds outside the window gradually dispersed and the sky gradually brightened. Azik sat opposite Klein and listened patiently.

"You are really a kind and good boy." He sighed again, "I am extremely lucky that I chose to trust you at that time."

Of course Klein knew what he was talking about. He smiled sheepishly and simply followed Azik's words:

"Then it will be Source Castle."

"I disguised myself as a god in Origin Castle...cough! I really feel ashamed no matter when I say this."

He recalled his first Tarot session more than half a year ago: "In the beginning, there were only two people. Miss Justice is an aristocratic girl with kindness and sensibility that is inconsistent with her own class. Perhaps it is also her superior carefree nature.

It comes with life, but it’s always a good thing.”

An image of a smiling girl wearing a beautiful long dress emerged in Azik's mind, which somewhat overlapped with the little daughter in his memory.

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man' is an experienced captain, but he lacks a sense of cooperation. At first, he was like a hedgehog. He was always unwilling to expose himself too much or show a slight dependence on other members. This should be a pirate.

brought about by his life. At first, I thought he was always too sensitive, overreacted, and thought too quickly. But after I personally came to the sea and experienced so many terrible events, I gradually became able to understand the origin of his character.

The reason is that this world... you really need to be vigilant all the time in order to protect yourself."

This world is so colorful and dangerous because of extraordinary abilities.

Even if you have strength, you can't avoid the aggregation of extraordinary characteristics. You might one day be gathered next to a strong person in this path and lose your life in vain.

Or, you are strong enough to protect yourself and the people you value, but there will always be a disaster that strikes when you are not with them. Just like ordinary people in this world, just living normally, suddenly become

You are a victim of certain rituals. Afterwards, apart from revenge, you can only go to the grave to express your condolences. It seems that power may not be able to protect anyone.

The more you walk and see, the more you understand Mr. "The Hanged Man"'s style of dealing with things... Be in awe of all unknown existences, always maintain your enthusiasm for power, and it is best to be alone, so that you can be safe.

Fight and die without worries...

"But I don't regret the path I've taken."

"And I still need the strength now to take revenge on Ince Zangwill."

Listening to Klein's increasingly active tone, Azik smiled sincerely and said:

"It seems that you get along well with them."

Klein also laughed, scratched his hair, and joked: "After all, in their eyes, I am a god."

Then, he folded his hands together, looked at the vast sea outside the window, and recalled:

"Later, we gradually welcomed other members... the 'Magician' who was troubled by the full moon's whispers was accidentally rescued by me; the Origin Castle is really powerful and can bring everyone from the land abandoned by the gods, so the tower

Luo Hui has the 'Sun'... Finally, there is the 'Hermit' lady who has just arrived. She is stronger than me and much more experienced than me. I always feel a little nervous in front of her."

After all, even in the past time-travel novels, there were only a few people who could return to the original world... Klein was not completely unprepared. On the contrary, after thinking about it, he wanted to thank the true Creator. If he

After trying for decades or even hundreds of years to learn this truth, you are lucky not to go crazy and die on the spot.

Seeing that his mood was getting better and he gradually started to get closer to a sad person instead of a desperate person, Azik took every opportunity to speak:

"Any future goals?"

"For example, when you get to the end of the sequence, do you want to go back and see Melissa and the others again, or do you want to explore the reasons for your survival."

Klein looked down, then raised it again after a moment: "Not yet."

"I will think about these things slowly. I need time...I need some time to think about it carefully."

Will I become a demigod? Or will I lose control and die in a future adventure? If I really can’t go back, it’s not like I can accompany Melissa and Benson for a lifetime, or be a good neighbor who silently protects me from a distance.

Such a bad choice...

Azik nodded in agreement:

"Yes, Klein, you need some time to think."
