[Comprehensive Manga] Kill the King

Chapter 40 EraChapter 40 Era

Ye Jiuchu was dreaming.

This kind of dream has been experienced more than once, so now he is completely immune to this phenomenon.

What's more, the things experienced in those dreams are not painful or unacceptable. For Ye Jiuchu, who can only experience that feeling from the "dream", he can now regard them as a kind of entertainment.

——Although, the endings of the stories there are always surprisingly similar.

The bright red blood formed a pool of puddles under his feet, and he stood in this pool of blood, and then watched one person after another die, using their blood to slowly spread up, and finally his whole body was covered with blood. buried in it.

His hands are covered with blood, just as Makishima Shōgo said, he is like a sharp knife stained with blood, and sometimes it will make people shudder.

"..."

The phone on the bed rang.Ye Jiuchu, who woke up from the drowsy dream, stretched out his hand to cover his face a little irritablely, and after rubbing it vigorously, he let out a long sigh of relief, reached out and connected the phone: "Hello?"

"Mr. Ye Jiu, you just woke up, right? It's not too late now... Besides, a good show has already begun." Cui Qiucheng said with a smile.

"Huh...?" Although he said he didn't care about the content of the dream, but he was always dreaming all night, and now he was woken up by someone, and Ye Jiuchu's thinking was rare.

"The helmet has been made. Just now the first test subject broke into a pharmacy with that kind of thing, and after killing two doctors, he still escaped." The middle-aged man in the country said, "This time the incident will definitely cause great turmoil."

"Where's the Holy Guardian?" Hearing this kind of thing, Ye Jiuchu slightly squinted his eyes, the haze and tiredness that hadn't woken up just now disappeared in an instant, and the expression on his face became cruel and cold.

"Ah... If I guessed correctly, Mr. Makishima should be 'guiding' the next group of people to better complete this feast."

Ye Jiuchu hung up the phone.

In the living room is a landscape similar to a tropical rainforest.Although it is still morning, the typical evergreen broad-leaved vegetation is crowded in front of the French windows, as if telling the outside that it is a warm and humid atmosphere.It is impossible for this kind of scene to appear in Japan, an island country with a temperate climate, so one can tell at a glance that this is an indoor projection carefully customized by the owner, and it is even more expensive to achieve this level.

The retro-style bookcase with countless hardcover books is placed on one side of the floor-to-ceiling windows. In order to prevent the books from being cracked by the sun, an invisible curtain is specially set up next to the cabinet.

The room full of retro atmosphere in the 21s and 30s creates a leisurely atmosphere. With this style, you can probably guess what kind of artist-like thinking and style the person who set up such a room has. Joy of life.

This kind of decoration style seems to be easy to relax people's mood.When Ye Jiuchu came out of the bedroom and saw the white-haired young man sitting on the orange sofa, his eyes relaxed involuntarily.

"The people are the real reason behind the progress of history. It's like a steam locomotive coming from the fields. You see the wheels turning and give the car the power to go. You don't know it, but the black smoke from the chimney He is the real hero behind the scenes."

The white-haired young man held a book with an unclear name in his hand, and sat on the sofa with his head slightly raised, looking at him with a half-smile.

In fact, this state is not common for Makishima Seigo.

He belongs to the type who can often feel tired of life in him-of course, this characteristic is not because he is world-weary or has excessive pursuit of stimulation.

The truth is, it's just boring.

When Makishima Seigo was not reading, he would occasionally inadvertently write such emotions on his face.In this regard, apart from Ye Jiuchu's own very keen observation ability, there is probably the fact that the other party did not hide these expressions in front of him at all.

Unless there are special circumstances, this pure-white youth prefers to live a frank and casual life, although sometimes it is more appropriate to call his actions whimsical and willful like a child.

To be honest, when Ye Jiuchu saw the holographic projection in the room, he knew that Makishima Shenghu was not doing what Cui Qiucheng said.This feeling is very subtle, like a breeze blowing across a calm lake, and then the small ripples that appeared quickly disappeared.

Ye Jiu came back to his senses at the beginning, he thought about what Makishima Shenghu said just now, "Huh? Leo Tolstoy?"

While talking, he walked into the kitchen and prepared black tea and some madeleines for the two of them. "I didn't expect that after "The Epic of Gilgamesh", you would like this type of novel, Holy Guardian."

Although Makishima Shōgo didn't say it, but those who know him a little bit will know that his favorite is actually George Orwell's works.Although the times are different, the things shown in those works are actually very similar to some of the Sibilla system.

Probably this is why Makishima Shōgo is particularly fond of it.

"The limitations of the times are often the reason for the achievement of masterpieces. The reason why they become masterpieces lies in their profound, broad or noble spiritual connotations, which are recognized by the vast majority of people, and are consistent with the requirements of historical development and have transcendence. In any era and in any social form, as long as the voice is made after independent thinking, it has inherent value." The smile on Makishima Seigo's face deepened a little, and he did not hesitate to explain what the other party said The specific content of "this type".

As a matter of course, he took the teacup from Ye Jiuchu's hand and took a sip, then showed a comfortable expression of being pleased.

"I think this author is very interesting. He was originally a typical failure of the upper-level reform, with typical aristocratic romance and blind self-confidence in his actions, but he ridiculed heroes and denied the existence of people who made history." Makishima The guardian went on to say that the golden pupils were filled with unusually beautiful colors, removing any extraneous colors, this white-haired young man had a pure charm that made it hard to look away.

Even if you know you are on the opposite side, you will be attracted to this person.

It's not about what he does, but his charm as a "person".

"'History is the river that propels mankind forward, and history itself is propelled forward by all the people.'"Those outstanding figures who are worshiped, praised or cursed in history, only appear at the right time and are called by the time. The torrent of the world is pushed onto the stage.’ I don’t say whether this view is right or wrong, but what a contradictory life it is.”

With slender and fair fingers around the carved ceramic handle, Makishima Shenghu put down the cup, and the bottom of the cup made a soft knocking sound on the glass coffee table, "Hey, Yejiu, what do you think I'm doing now?"

Ye Jiuchu had long been used to the occasional whim of Makishima Shenghu, and the sudden question did not make him feel surprised.He didn't sit down on the other side of the sofa, but stood there, staring at Makishima Shenghu and thinking for a few seconds.

"The Holy Guardian wants to expose the essence of this society, doesn't he? In this society ruled by the Sibyl system, most human beings have lost the instinct of thinking. They trust the Sibyl system and believe in everything the Sibyl system has done. decisions, and find in them the 'happiness' they were given."

A complex emotion flashed quickly in Makishima Shenghu's saint-like golden eyes, but Ye Jiuchu didn't have time to catch the specific meaning, so he covered it up.

"Although we now feel that we are acting on our own volition, Tolstoy would say that all this is history pushing us forward.—We were chosen only because we represent the invisible destiny Will. 'All you have to do is to obey history.' Then there is no need for anything that you, me, or the Sybyl system have done."

"'Life, living, only at this time can people feel its beautiful connotation, which is often overlooked by people. In fact, the real meaning of life lies in being able to enjoy the sunshine freely. Forests, mountains, grasslands, and rivers lie in the Ordinary satisfaction. The rest is irrelevant.'”

There seemed to be a little irony in Makishima Seigo's tone, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was no such extreme emotion.

"Everything is an arrangement of history. People today are also satisfied with the current society... The existence of the Sibylsystem is inevitable, so what is the meaning of my existence? ——If you just think about it, you will bear it It's actually quite interesting to let the mind fall into this fairy tale-like fallacy of denying subjective will."

This pure white youth is always so elusive many times.He loves to be verbal to the point, never making his point outright, and enjoys it as a game watching his counterpart try to guess his intentions.

But Ye Jiuchu, who had been with Makishima Shenghu for many years, quickly understood what he meant.

In front of him, in fact, Makishima Shenghu rarely said these things.The reason is probably that he also knows that he actually has no special obsession with overthrowing the Sibyl system.

And now this kind of situation is often because of his special ups and downs in mood.

It is true that Tolstoy's concept gave Makishima the joy of criticizing other people's thoughts after in-depth thinking, but the reason is definitely not as simple as just "War and Peace".

"Although I haven't fully understood what you mean, but for me, I don't have the great motives of a so-called hero or a revolutionary." Ye Jiuchu said casually and meaningfully: "I follow the Holy Guardian By your side, I just want to see... what you want to do. To put it more bluntly, it can be said to be a kind of curiosity.

"So, history, fate... these and other relationships have nothing to do with me...

"My gaze...

"But it only stays on you, the holy guardian."

The purple pupils are like the most exquisite crystals, and it feels like he is in love with the man who has always been cold and ruthless.

Makishima Shenghu raised his head to meet Ye Jiuchu's eyes.

At that moment, his face took on an almost flirtatious color. He stood up and approached Ye Jiuchu, put his arms around Ye Jiuchu's shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Although it seems a bit inappropriate, but suddenly between……"

"I want to make|love you so much."

Ye Jiuchu hooked the corners of his mouth, and the warm and ambiguous breath that brushed Makishima Shenghu's ear, "This kind of thing... I am naturally happy."
