Rocot: Reborn

Chapter 291

Roccod's pupils suddenly contracted, as if a bolt of lightning had struck his heart. Lilith, that name was engraved deep in his soul like a brand, and even death could not erase it. Of course he remembered it, how could he forget it?

That night, Lilith died in his arms. Her cold body temperature and coagulated blood turned into nightmares, tormenting his nerves over and over again. Before she died, she used up her last bit of strength to put a cold metal object into his hand.

"What is this...?" Roccod had already fallen into the brink of madness at that time. He did not even take a closer look. He just subconsciously held the thing tightly, as if it was the last warmth of Lilith.

"Promise me... to avenge me..." Lilith's voice was as weak as a mosquito, but it was like a curse, deeply imprinted in his soul.

Later, Rocot lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he found himself in a mass grave, and the metal object left by Lilith was missing.

"What are you talking about?" Roccod threw Alicia to the ground, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "The things that Lilith left behind were taken away by those damn hyenas!"

Alicia was knocked unconscious, but she knew that she had successfully attracted Roccod's attention. She struggled to get up, coughed a few times, and said, "No, you are wrong. That thing is not on you at all. It was hidden by Lilith in advance."

"Hidden?" Rocot approached suddenly, grabbed Alicia's hair and lifted her up. "Where is it hidden? Tell me!"

Alicia frowned in pain, but she did not resist. She just stared into Roccod's eyes and said word by word: "In...the location of your heart."

Roccod was stunned, and the strength in his hands involuntarily loosened a little. Alicia's words, like a thunder, exploded in his mind. He subconsciously reached out to touch his chest, where a cold and mechanical heart beat. It was the one he replaced after his rebirth.

"Impossible..." Roccod muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief. How could Lilith hide something in his heart? It was impossible!

"How do you think I know the secret of your heart?" Alicia sneered, with a sly light in her eyes, "How do you think I know the secret of your rebirth?"

Roccod's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Only he knew about his rebirth. Even his most trusted subordinates didn't know this secret. How did Alicia know it?

"Who... are you?" Rocot's voice was full of vigilance and fear.

Alicia didn't answer, but just stuck out her tongue and licked her lips gently, with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes.

"Want to know? Then... beg me..."

"Please?" Rocot narrowed his eyes dangerously, a cold smile on his lips, "Who do you think you are to ask me to beg you?"

He suddenly threw Alicia against the wall and looked down at her condescendingly, like a beast teasing its prey. "Tell me, who are you? What did that bitch Lilith tell you?!"

Alicia coughed painfully a few times, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, but she licked it without caring, her eyes full of provocation and sarcasm. "Want to know? Beg me, maybe when I'm in a good mood, I'll consider telling you."

"Bitch!" Rocot was furious. He grabbed Alicia's neck and lifted her up. "You think you can threaten me like this? I tell you, even if you die, I can pull you out of hell and make you live a life worse than death!"

"Really?" Alicia breathed hard, but still refused to give in. Instead, she laughed even more wantonly, "Then you better hurry up, because..."

Before she finished speaking, Rocot suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his heart, as if a red-hot knife was stirring inside. He groaned, loosened his hand that was pinching Alicia, staggered back a few steps, and covered his chest in disbelief.

"You...what did you do?!" Rocot asked through gritted teeth, his voice full of pain and horror.

Alicia collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, but a triumphant smile appeared on her face. "Don't you want to know who I am? I am you, Rocot, or rather... your deepest fear."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Rocot roared, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Alicia's words, like a poisonous snake, drilled into his mind and gnawed at his sanity.

"Do you think Lilith is really dead?" Alicia stood up slowly and walked towards Rocot step by step, her eyes filled with strange light, "She has always lived in your heart, in your nightmares, tormenting you all the time."

Rocot's body was shaking, Alicia's figure was reflected in his pupils, but he seemed to see Lilith, the woman he loved deeply but killed with his own hands.

"No... Impossible, you're talking nonsense!" Roccod shook his head desperately, trying to get rid of those horrible images in his mind, but those images were like maggots attached to his bones, and could not be shaken off.

"Do you dare to say that you have never thought about what would happen now if you had not betrayed Lilith?" Alicia's voice was like the whisper of a devil, bewitching Roccod's mind.

"Shut up! Shut up!" Roccod held his head in pain, trying to stop Alicia from continuing, but he couldn't control his thoughts. Those scenes that he had deliberately forgotten flooded into his mind like a tide.

"Do you think you can really escape the sins of the past?" Alicia's voice was getting closer and closer. Roccod felt his body getting colder and colder, as if he had fallen into an abyss.

"No, this is not true, this is not true..." Rocot knelt weakly on the ground, his eyes empty and desperate, like a puppet who had lost his soul.

Alicia walked up to Rocot, slowly squatted down, stretched out her slender fingers, gently stroked his cheek, her eyes full of pity and ridicule.

"Poor Roccod, do you think that you can change everything after being reborn? You are wrong. You will never be able to escape the teasing of fate..."

At this moment, Roccod suddenly felt a sharp burning sensation in his heart, as if something was about to burst out of his body. He struggled in pain, but to no avail, and could only watch as a crack slowly opened in his chest...
