Chapter 27: Confused on whats happening (1/2)
I think that I'm probably the world's most, most, most unluckiest person.
My luckiness meter definitely were already in the negatives, or maybe there's someone who stole away all of my luck, resulting in me not going in accordance to the 'luck meter' to calculate my luck at all, but changed to be using an 'unlucky meter' to calculate my unluckiness instead. Compared to 'Luck: E', it's even more unluckier than that.
My originally normal life with no strangeness at all had a huge turnabout just happening to it earlier.
I've been personally murdered by my girlfriend.
The method of murder was a triangular strangulation, and the cause of death was suffocation. Probably, the only psychological relief was that I died on a woman's belly...........
Aaah..........grandpa..........I didn't realize that I would be seeing you way earlier than my old man..........
If there's still a next lifetime, I want to try being a woman..........
Thinking up till here, I wanted to do a both hands palmed together praying gesture, but then I suddenly realized..........
I don't even have hands at all!
No, not only simply just that, there's still many other strange things too!
Wasn't I already dead!
Then why, right now, am I still able to think?
Was this the legendary comatose state? Or was it that my spirit had already left my body? Or was it that it's actually all but merely just a dream?
I...........am dead, for real?
Within the neverending midst of darkness, I didn't possess any senses at all, and could only think. If I didn't think about anything at all, I felt that I would just simply vanish.
But if I was to vanish just like that, it seemed to be not bad too..........
Inside Laomā's mortuary where she was working at, it wrote 'Death is a great stance of equality, it's also a great beacon of freedom', Hugo's famous words.
From young I already understood, that there would be a day when death will come, only that I didn't expect that I would welcome it that early.
Obtaining freedom, huh...........well, thinking too much into it was useless too. If I really had died, no matter how much I'm unwilling onto it, I still could only quietly bade farewell to this world.
And so I gave up thinking.
Then, my memories started to fade.
I started to forget the seeds of the past, forget my life's experiences, forget the history that I've walked till now.
And lastly, even forgetting who I even was.
Just like that, dying..........vanishing..........losing my spirit...........no longer existing.
”Noo! Don't die!!”
Suddenly, a resounding voice shocked out ripples within my halted thoughts.
Who was it? Whose voice was it?
”Please! Don't die!! Please stay by my side!”
Who is she?
Why did she call out to me?
Suddenly, my originally fading, almost vanished consciousness had a place of load, and my body's sensation completely returned. My lungs started to operate, heart regained back its pumping, blood its flow, air distribution recovered; aiding my thoughts to return back to operation.
”Cough...........”
I gave off a cough, and weakly opened up my eyes.
I..........didn't die?
Who saved me?
I hadn't enough time to think clearly yet, when within my vision appeared a person who's unforgettable to me!
It's Ji Lian Bing!
The murderer was just at my side!
The f**k!
I immediately sprang up my upper body, and used both hands to cover my head as I retreated backwards, secretly observing Ji Lian Bing through the slits in my fingers.
Was it her..........that saved me?
No, she had only just killed me, but right now she had saved me already?
Why would she do this kind of unnecessary act? Was she trying to play around with me?
Brain full of questions that no one helped to answer, I could only sit on my original spot while staying confused, not knowing what to do exactly.
I gently touched my neck, there still remained the sensation of being strangled by thighs earlier.
Then that means I had died as expected already...........even if I didn't die, I at least should have fallen into unconsciousness.
But during the period that I was in unconsciousness, I didn't know what exactly happened, which made Ji Lian Bing give up onto continuing onto doing the last murdering act, all the way until I've currently woke up.
Speaking of Ji Lian Bing...........
I moved my gaze towards Ji Lian Bing.
”..........”
Ji Lian Bing instead was completely unconcerned towards my every action, and only clasped both hands onto her face, head sinking deep within her knees, as both arms twinged about rather coordinately.
She, was crying?
Why did she suddenly cry?
Was she feeling sorrowful over my death? Or was it that because about the matter of me not dying, it had harmed onto her pride instead?
I completely don't get it at all..........
Perhaps its that I've just experienced an instance of death just earlier, which was why my brain's functions hadn't fully recovered, causing me unable to think onto stuff that's too complex, being unable to analyze various leads' logical relationships as well as things' causes and effects.
And I noticed Ji Lian Bing's status afterwards.
[Lover ████]
[Ji Lian Bing]
Her title changed!
Other than the first word still being a 'Lover', all the other words had already turned into an unrecognizable state, which was exactly just like many words being overlayed together, resulting in the blackening of the entire block of character spaces.
This was the first time that I've seen titles having changes too, plus it even changed to this kind of unobservable state.
Was it that my ability that had some kind of changes to it already? Or was it............that Ji Lian Bing herself having some kind of problem?
What exactly happened? I'm completely scratching my head right here!
Plus, the status's color had changes to it already.
It was different from that bizarre purplish color earlier, right now it had became a pinkish color............no wait, it's even more of a darker shade and more redder, a pinkish-red color.
Both Xin Ran and Ke Ling's statuses colors were pinkish, but it was that sort of light pale pinkish, akin to cherry blossom petals.
And Ji Lian Bing's status was an even more brighter variety of pink, what would you call that sort of pink, huh. I remember during art classes in middle school we learnt it before too...........rose red? In any case, it's roughly a color that was a mix between pink and red colors.
What's the matter with that as well?
It can't be that it's being acted out again?
Ji Lian Bing was able to freely control her emotions, allowing her status to change colors, making me develop a sense of misunderstanding. Hence, I also won't rule out the possibility that she's only pretending to cry, onto baiting me right now.
”...........”
In any case, I'll need to leave this place first.
