Five years of collapse and three years of simulation

Chapter 249 The Drowning Child

"Forget it, whatever, if it's you... Maybe, maybe..."

Teresa used several words to express her entanglement, and finally sighed and said, "Human, tell me your name."

"Han Jiang."

"..."

Teresa seemed to be a little stunned when she heard such a name for the first time.

"Make a deal, human." She was a little unfamiliar with the format of Han Jiang's name, but still stubbornly called Han Jiang a human.

"I'll tell you the story of a young girl who was connected to the recent events."

Before she could complain, Teresa went on to say, "But instead, you have to help me... no, make her, help her see a wish."

"What wish?"

"This deal...do you accept?"

Han Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, if I can do it."

Is it Teresa's wish? Try to help her fulfill it.

"Then, let me tell you the name of the main character in this story."

"Her name is Teresa, she..."

Teresa began to slowly tell the story of that girl, that is, her own.

From the moment of birth, the life of a girl has no meaning.

In her world, grandpa didn't give her anything except a room full of books like a cage.

Grandpa is what a girl calls the person who gave her life.

The girl only has her grandfather and a sleeping sister, who she can occasionally talk to.

The girl is required to drink various blood packs frequently, and use this as food, and must drink her sister's blood every half a month.

All of this is grandpa's wish, so the girl has continued to live like this.

After the girl realizes this, she thinks she has found the meaning of life, because she was born for this, because the girl is needed.

Every time after sucking her sister's blood, her sister would wake up and show a very gentle smile to the girl.

Only at this time can the girl truly feel the meaning of her existence.

Even so, the girl still has a wish to see the world depicted in the book.

Even... just one glance is fine.

With the help of her sister, the girl took out the cage that she hadn't been able to leave since the beginning.

After going out, the girl was very happy, but...she imagined everything too simple, the outside is the human world.

The girl desperately forced herself to restrain the ivory's urge to suck other people's blood, but her body's instincts easily overshadowed her efforts.

Every time after drinking blood, only the fresh blood stains at the corner of her mouth can take away from her memory and tell her what she just... did.

Speaking up to this point, the girl slowly raised her head to look at Han Jiang's face.

There was no expression on her face, only extremely depressed and heavy emotions, and the whole person seemed extremely calm.

It was this feeling that made Han Jiang feel that all rash words and consolations were futile.

The two sides were silent for a moment, and Teresa said, "Now, do you understand?"

"She is gradually becoming a zombie as a human being, and even... I don't know how long I can be myself."

"So before that, she wanted to see with her own eyes the place her sister had described to her countless times, the place recorded in the book."

"Then your wish...her wish is to see the world with her own eyes?" Han Jiang asked.

Since Teresa prefers to call herself "she", Han Jiang will not pretend to be smart to correct this name.

"Yeah." Teresa nodded.

Han Jiang looked up to see if there were any higher floors nearby. There was the tallest building in China in Canghai City. If he wanted to have a panoramic view of the city's night view, he had to go to that place.

It's past two o'clock in the morning, and the tallest building in Canghai City should be closed.

"Come with me first." Han Jiang waved to Teresa.

Teresa took a step forward, then backed away.

In the end, in a tangled mood, he still kept up with Han Jiang's pace.

This area is not very far from the high-rise building. Half an hour later, the two arrived outside the building.

As expected, the gate of the building was closed tightly. It was midnight, and no tourists or people coming to work.

Han Jiang took a look and said to Teresa, "Be careful not to be discovered."

Finding a blind spot of the camera, Han Jiang easily followed the air-conditioning table to the third floor, where there is a large office.

"I'm sorry." Han Jiang muttered silently, took out a pair of knives from the warehouse, cut the window's barrier, and pushed the glass away.

"Can you come up?" Han Jiang called to Theresa downstairs.

Teresa nodded, the girl's skill was no worse than Han Jiang's, and she jumped up.

"Why are we here?" Asked Theresa who went upstairs.

"Well, although this kind of thing is not good, there is no more suitable place than here." Han Jiang explained.

"Why not?" Teresa asked again.

Han Jiang didn't know what to say, could it be okay to sneak into the office building?
But Teresa was so lacking in common sense that it was too much trouble to explain.

"Don't worry about it, you just follow me anyway."

There is a lot of monitoring in the building. Han Jiang learned a lot from Chiyuan Zhiyi. After finding the main computer room, he deleted the monitoring records of the last 10 minutes, and opened an elevator by the way.

Such a tall building, if you really want to climb it, you will be exhausted.

After successfully taking the elevator up to the stairs, the door of the roof was hacked open by Han Jiang.

The wind on the roof was very strong, and the temperature in the early morning dropped a lot, but it was still a little muggy.

"Look, this is the night in Canghai City."

In Canghai City at night, the lights are bright, and there is a lot of traffic illuminated by the street lights.

In some remote places, there are still people who play racing motorcycles.

Naturally, the sound could not reach the roof, and under the tactical goggles, only some small light spots could barely be seen moving.

Teresa's hair fluttered with the wind, and her dull eyes began to become radiant. This was a scene she had never seen before in Canghai City.

These days, Teresa has been hiding in dark places. Even at night, she is afraid that she will not be able to restrain her instincts, and tries to hide in alleys with fewer people.

"Like the stars."

Han Jiang subconsciously looked at the top of his head. The building was high enough, and the sky looked brighter than the ground.

"Yes."

"Where is that place?" The girl pointed to a building full of lights.

"Oh, it's a historic site, and if nothing else happens, the lights will stay on all night long."

The vampire girl's eyesight is exceptionally good, even better than that of Han Jiang wearing goggles.

"What about that, where is the place with the huge dolls painted?" Teresa asked, pointing to a signboard not far away.

Han Jiang looked over. At this height, the huge photo became not much bigger than a slap.

"It's a restaurant. I heard from a friend of mine that the food there is particularly delicious, and the cost is relatively much higher than other places. There is a chance..."

Before Han Jiang could finish speaking, Teresa pulled Han Jiang's cuff and pointed to another place and asked, "Where is that shiny wheel..."

Han Jiang searched for a few seconds before he saw the wheel that Teresa mentioned. It should be an amusement park.

"It should be an amusement park. That wheel is a Ferris wheel. When it's open during the day, the Ferris wheel will keep spinning. You can sit on it and see the nearby scenery."

"That, that, that building is shining!" Teresa's voice was a little excited, and she looked very happy.

Han Jiang squinted his eyes and couldn't see clearly. After constantly adjusting the multiples of the goggles, he could barely see clearly.

At the same time, I was also depressed, why would I go to the tallest building and just find a building with more than 30 floors?
"That's a game center, there will be a lot of game consoles in it..." Han Jiang of Canghai City doesn't know much more than Teresa.

"Game console... what is that?"

The lights of the urban area reflected the brilliance in Teresa's eyes, but there was something hard to let go of in the depths of her eyes.

Loneliness, loneliness, despair... and a little bit of unwillingness.

"Game console...how about I take you to play?" Han Jiang asked.

Theresa shook her head and continued to look for more interesting places in the city.

"Is that all right? What about your wish? Just to see the city?" Han Jiang asked.

Theresa shook her head and said calmly: "It's enough, this is my... no, her wish."

"She just wants to understand the world, not the words in the books, but the real cities, lights, crowds..."

"Although I want to taste the ice cream with my own mouth, I want to hug that doll with my own hands..." Teresa shook her head again, her tone became a little more serious, and said, "But this is fine, I am already very satisfied. "

After finishing speaking, Teresa turned her eyes to the city below again.

There is expectation and reluctance in the eyes...

Seeing Teresa like this, Han Jiang felt a little distressed, and Otto here...seems even more inhumane!

"Is this enough?" Han Jiang said, his voice not even as loud as the wind on the roof.

But Teresa heard it, she nodded slightly, and responded in a low voice, "Yes, this... is enough."

"Satisfied with this kind of words, let's talk about it later, when I take you to the Humu restaurant for dinner, taste the ice cream, and play in the playground..."

"There is still a lot of time, isn't it, these... I can take you to see and experience this world."

"I can not do it."

Teresa spoke very decisively. Although there was still reluctance in her eyes, she was more determined.

"I don't have much time, I have to leave this city tonight."

"Vampires are things that shouldn't appear in front of the lights." Teresa took a deep breath and said, "Besides, the more humans there are, the harder it is to restrain yourself... I, she, are so sad Creature!"

At this moment, Han Jiang had the urge to immediately rush to the Floating Island of Destiny and overthrow Otto.

This is the sin he made, why let a little girl bear it, is this something that people can drive out?

Teresa's voice gradually fell, as if it had been blown away by the wind, and it could no longer be calmed down again.

Han Jiang raised his breath several times, wanting to say something, but he could only open his mouth and be unable to speak.

At this time, no matter what you say, it seems very powerless. Playing the role of a listener is the best choice.

"She is gradually becoming a zombie as a human being, and she doesn't even know how long she can be herself, so in the last time, at least, she wants to see with her own eyes the place that has been described to her countless times, Canghai City... And Yae Village."

After speaking, Teresa turned her head to look at Han Jiang's face and smiled brightly, "Time is running out, Yae Village... I don't seem to be able to go."

Teresa collected her emotions, calmed down for a few seconds, and said, "I'm leaving now, thank you for looking at my wish."

Han Jiang no longer wanted to tease Teresa, but was a little embarrassed, and stammered: "This... this is not a difficult task."

"So, can you listen to one more willful request from me at the end?"

"You said, I promise to do my best, even if..."

Teresa shook her head and interrupted Han Jiang, "I think... no, do you want to dance with me?"

"Like a princess in a fairy tale." Teresa didn't say this sentence. This was her last and most like an ordinary girl looking forward to becoming a princess.

Teresa took the initiative to hold Han Jiang's hand, and she said, "Actually, I took it out with my sister, but I escaped from her body again."

"Ok?"

The girl imitated the illustrations on TV or in books, and stepped on an unfamiliar dance step that she had practiced many times in private.

Han Jiang doesn't know how to dance, but his skills don't make him flustered, but he can only make himself not make mistakes.

Teresa stepped on Han Jiang's feet several times, and Han Jiang smiled slightly, indicating that it was okay.

And every time Teresa made a mistake, the corners of her mouth would curl up secretly, and sometimes she would quickly dodge when she stepped on it lightly, like a child who ate candy but didn't catch it.

Of course Han Jiang didn't care about this, he was listening to Theresa's own story attentively.

"Her tenderness makes me depend on, but also makes me uneasy."

"Maybe like grandpa, showing that he needs me in the simplest and most understandable way can make me feel more at ease."

"But sister...that person's gentleness towards me seems to be taken for granted, and he treats me tenderly without asking for anything in return."

"Does she really need me?"

"At ease, but uneasy, as if my emotions don't belong to me, like a drowning person, unable to step on land, very flustered, wanting to rely on, but..."

Han Jiang kept his mouth shut. He heard a lot from Teresa's words, including relaxation, happiness, ecstasy, and more, uneasiness.

"After all, I am a puppet made by my grandfather, a puppet resurrected for my sister."

"But... do dolls also have emotions?"

"Would you tell me, I'm completely lost."

"Hey...you tell me, okay?"

Teresa raised her face, and the strength in her hands increased in vain. She is now a drowning child, and she wants to grab the last straw to save Han Jiang.

She was asking these questions to Han Jiang, and at the same time she was asking herself.

At this moment, maybe even she didn't feel it.

She was praying, praying that the person in front of her could redeem herself in the abyss.

Just like last night, knowing that he was a vampire, he still made such a decision.
