805 Future Part 2 (2/2)
”No! Let me see more! Something must have gone wrong! The human world should be perfect! This time around, I will certainly be able to...”
”It's ok.” Charles smiled with pity, saying the last words in Gaius' memory, ”You can watch on for as long as you like to...”
At the moment, Ye Qingxuan's traceback came to an abrupt end.
It was because the old man screamed.
He woke up from his dreams, struggling wildly, scrambling down from the operating table. Screaming, he frantically tried to make it past the people in front of him, destroying everything.
”No! No! It isn't right! It should have been perfect! It's not my fault! I am not wrong!” he screamed hysterically, his bloodshot eyes looking at everyone. ”I am not wrong! I have not!!!”
No one responded.
Everyone looked at him quietly, watching him roar desperately. In the end, he sat down on the ground, exhausted. He began laughing like an idiot, then teared up immediately, tearing at his own hair and face. He curled up in the corner, talking to himself, ”Sorry, sorry, sorry, please forgive me, everyone, sorry, sorry, sorry...”
Sorry.
Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes.
Gaius has already gone crazy.
It isn't even because of Charles' revenge.
From the very beginning, when the countless sacrifices crushed him, causing him to lose his way, his fate has been doomed. He can't face the sacrifices of his peers, he can't face his own kind, and he can't face so much pain.
He can only deceive himself, that all the sacrifices are worthwhile, for the sake of the future, or for something else.
For whatever.
He will never find the perfect world.
When the bubble is popped, there was no longer anything between him and madness.
He is overwhelmed by guilt and despair. The things he has been pursuing his whole life are destroyed. After the price he has been paying his whole life and the sacrifices made lost their meaning, how can he face the world?
”Kill him.” Ye Qingxuan kept his eyes low, clenching his fists. ”Whenever I remember that my teacher sacrificed himself for such a madman, I feel that... it's not worth it.”
”I regret to inform that we can't do it,” the person in charge of the Silence Governance answered.
”What do you mean?” asked Ye Qingxuan.
”I mean it literally, we can't kill him.” The old musician replied, ”His body has become so healthy that it is non-human. Even the lethal brain tumor that has originally meant imminent death has been taken out.
”Something is supporting his life, and every time he is on the verge of death, it will restore him to his original state, just like this.”
He pulled out his sword, and with a clean strike, he chopped off Gaius' head. But as the head rolled on the ground and blood spilled out, the blood then flowed back towards the wound, with not a single drop left behind, and finally, the head returned to its original position.
No wound could be seen anymore.
”We have tried various means. In a sense, he has become a catastrophe and is almost immortal.” The person in charge sighed softly. ”Even if he is burned to ashes, he can be reborn again from the fire. I am afraid that the god doesn't want to let him off so easily either?
”Originally, we were able to inject sedatives and hypnotize him, letting him fall asleep. But now, his body has become resistant to it, and it will not be long before dreams become a luxury for him even.”
Ye Qingxuan was silent.
The average person probably yearned dearly for such immortality, but for Gaius, It was an eternal punishment and torture.
He could no longer escape from anything through death.
He would live forever in pain.
He would face everything painfully forever.
”I have noted the information you provided. You can go, and take him with you... I don't want to look at him again.” Ye Qingxuan withdrew his gaze and pushed the door open.
He paid no more attention to the person in charge who chased after him. The man was stopped by his own subordinate, and shouted something at Ye Qingxuan from a far distance.
But Ye Qingxuan was unwilling to listen any further.
But when he pushed the door open, he saw the man below the steps.
And the familiar face.
”Nice to meet you, Grand Inquisitor. Do pardon my manners for taking the liberty to visit you without prior notice.”
Below the steps, the first citizen of Burgundy, the great emperor, 'Don Juan', gave him a familiar smile. ”Can we talk in private?”
