Boundary Convention - Chapter Six The Cuckoo's Child
The white noise coming from the speakers has been going on for a long time.
The TV screen did not remain in a freeze frame, but kept playing irregularly moving snow patterns.
The player connected to the TV has stopped working, its date of manufacture is unknown, and it died after the last disc was played.
Gherardini sat in front of the sofa, staring at the wriggling black, white and gray on the LCD screen, as if he had found some meaning from it, without taking his eyes off it.
It was not until a long time later that she seemed to extricate herself from the fascination and blinked.
“I see…”
She said, as if she understood something, she stood up.
Ever since she witnessed Lanna’s perverted torture of the professor, Mo You has been imprisoned in a room that is out of the sun, in the true sense of the day——the whole room is made of high-grade light-absorbing materials, and there is no light in it. Light. The size is about 20 square meters, which is the size that Mo You found out bit by bit on the wall.
Every meal time, a square opening would be opened in the room at a random place, and a meal would be put down. Because of the darkness, she had to fumble slowly to find the meal. In the first few attempts, Mo You accidentally overturned the food, and the oily soup splashed into the small space, filling the depressing room with the smell of poor quality food.
“If I had known you were so perverted, I wouldn’t have talked to you. This place would drive people crazy.” Mo You said while chewing on the food that was just delivered.
This time, there are still no tableware for the meals. If you want people to think like a beast, you must first make people behave like a beast. Mo You has been here for seven days, and she has gradually gotten used to the smell of spoiled food in the room, and she has also temporarily adapted to the environment without eyesight.
Perhaps it was because the progress of Mo You’s madness was too slow, so Lanna recently added a lot of other ‘items’ to the room. It seems like raving, laughing, or moaning from one end of the wall; screams randomly coming from 24 hours; there is also the constant dripping of water from the top of the roof, drop by drop, and only one drop, No matter how she moved her position, this drop of water could accurately land on her forehead. It seemed that there was a mobile shower on the ceiling of this room.
“I’m already crazy, so you can’t drive me crazy.” Mo You continued.
She was pretty sure Lanna had a microphone in this room, or at least a tape recorder, otherwise there would be no point in Lanna doing it.
“Mom has been driven crazy by you, and you are going to drive me crazy. You are too cruel to our family.”
Her voice echoed in the small room, and the echoes of repeated collisions served no purpose other than to prove how airtight the room was.
“You bastard is so self-abased that it’s abnormal, and your bad taste is unbelievable!!”
While eating, she suddenly raised her head and cursed in the room.
“Who are you judging by this sentence?”
Just when Mo You lowered her head and was about to continue eating, a sudden response came.
She froze for a moment, but didn’t react.
“Ah… this voice? Sister Mo Xiao?”
“Call me Sister Mo Xiao… I’m afraid you’re really going crazy in there, it’s too nasty.”
Indeed, most of the time, Mo You would call Mo Xiao by his first name, and occasionally he would call Mo Xiao sister for the purpose of sarcasm. It is really rare for Mo Xiao to call her sister together like this… flattery beyond words.
“How could it be? You are my favorite elder sister Mo Xiao… Please, find a way to get me out quickly so that I can take a shower or something.”
“The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.” Mo Xiao sighed, “However, your evaluation of Lanna is quite pertinent.”
“Really? As long as you like it.” Mo You said, stretching in the corner, “But why are you here?”
she asked, not using her exaggerated expression as usual outside, maybe because she thought no one would see her expression. Talking to her through the wall like this made Mo Xiao feel that she was mature and normal.
“Since I was the only one who was taken away at that time, it can be said that Lanna didn’t intend to kidnap you.” Mo You said
“I asked Lake to bring me.”
Mo Xiao said, as if he already knew what Mo You wanted to ask.
“Lake…ah…damn it, this bastard, I told him to take good care of you, but he sent you to the tiger’s mouth, wait, did Lake tell you? What?!”
“It’s not that exaggerated, Lana Ginsburg won’t hurt me,” Mo Xiao said calmly.
“Do you know your relationship with Lanna?” Mo You suddenly became nervous
“knew.”
“Then what are you going to do next? Sister, I’m sorry for you! When you went to Iceland for investigation, I didn’t push you down, it was Lake who pushed you! What a hateful fellow! !”
“Oh? Then who told it to push me? Who told it to see if the four entropy stones can bring people back to life?”
“Sister, what do you mean? How could it be me? It’s not me. At most, it’s my second personality!”
“Stop talking nonsense, don’t worry, I’m not here to quarrel with you over such trivial matters,” Mo Xiao said.
“Big sister is the best. By the way, where is the old woman? How…how is she?” Mo You suddenly asked in a low voice.
“I don’t want to answer that question.”
Hearing these words, Mo You felt a chill down her spine. She thought to herself, could it be… Mo Shixin has…
“Lanna drove her crazy. As for the rest…you don’t know? You won’t really kill her, right?” Mo You asked tentatively.
Thinking of this possibility, Mo You suddenly felt a burst of complicated emotions in her heart. It is true that there was a lot of rift between her and Mo Shixin, but when she thought that she would no longer be able to spit on that woman’s domineering face, and could not make trouble for her to make fun of her attitude, she suddenly felt as if something is missing. After a long absence, there is an indescribable discomfort in my heart. To describe it in words…is it called sourness?
“Worse than killing.”
As Mo Xiao said, he knocked on the wall.
“She was placed in the room next to you a few days ago.”
“so……”
Mo You was startled. So, all the madman’s ravings and shouts from the next room were all Mo Shixin’s voice? That incomparable woman…
At this time, she laughed abruptly.
Laughing so suddenly, even Mo Xiao who was outside was startled.
“Are you crazy? What are you laughing at, what’s so funny about it?”
She stopped talking, but Mo You didn’t stop laughing, as if she was really suffocated in the room. It wasn’t until the laughter was a little bit out of breath that it slowly stopped laughing.
“This kind of fate is actually quite suitable for this woman. She has been self-righteous all her life, and finally became a fool in the end. It must be quite fun to bully her after she gets out.”
“Oh, it has become like this, do you still want to save her?” Mo Xiao said with a smile.
“Yeah, this is something I decided from the beginning.”
“Because… blood relationship…”
“Maybe, to be honest, one of the reasons why I decided to save that woman was to see how she would react after being rescued by me. I’m short-sighted, no matter how much I humiliate her, she will definitely not dare to return I just want this kind of happiness, what about you? Why did you decide to save this woman with me?”
“I……”
Mo Xiao hesitated for a while.
Yes, why did she decide to save Mo Shixin with Mo You? She hated Mo Shixin, there was no doubt about it, but seeing her at this point, she felt unwilling. In the end… why?
“I just think… she just died like this, it’s too cheap for her.”
After thinking for a while, Mo Xiao only came to a vague conclusion.
“Where is it cheaper?” Mo You continued to ask.
“…If you keep asking, I won’t be able to make it clear for a while, but I don’t think she deserves to die here, and she shouldn’t die here in this way.”
“Sister, you are talking nonsense, I know, you don’t like Lanna.”
“Um…”
“Sister, did Lanna really tell you everything?”
“Hmm… about the shipwreck in Iceland, she said it was all about keeping our nation from being oppressed, for us to gain supreme power, she said she would make me the next GST after it was all over Executor.”
“Did you forget that there is still a fool who doesn’t know whether he is alive or not, waiting for you outside.”
“Moyou, what are you talking about? You know that people like me can no longer live the lives of ordinary people. What are you talking about at this time… What are you talking about…” Mo Xiao’s voice suddenly trembled a few times.
“Sister, let’s rescue the professor together, and then go our separate ways. I will continue to wander, and you can take the wasteland with you. He is innocent. I will not look for you again, and I will not let Lake look for you.”
“Why are you so sure, I will definitely stand by your side.”
“Now everything about you is created by her, your character, your thoughts, and even your destiny. Therefore, you have a strong hatred for her, and you have the urge to take revenge on her, but you are afraid to go Take revenge on her, because your thinking structure is based on her, you are too similar to her, denying her is equal to denying yourself… That’s why, you are going to save her, because saving her saves you Myself, sister, Mo Shixin is our mother…” Mo You took a breath as she spoke.
Mo Xiao didn’t take this opportunity to refute, she just listened silently, she didn’t want to refute Mo You, as if she hoped to be persuaded by Mo You.
“Sister, Lanna wants you to be a cuckoo, she makes you have the audacity to squeeze into a reed warbler’s nest, and then kicks mommy and me out to fend for myself.”
“I don’t want to be like this either, but what is born…”
“It can be changed, it will be possible, you believe me.”
“It’s really ironic, why our fate is so twists and turns, why God wants to play with our emotions and our whole life,” Mo Xiao said with a wry smile.
At this moment, the Mo family sisters didn’t know that the reason why they could hear each other’s voice was because the room had been opened by Lake, but because of the special material in the room, they couldn’t see each other, and Lake was just outside the room , quietly listening to the conversation between the two.
“I’m actually jealous of you too, sister.” Mo Xiao said, very rarely, she called her sister Mo You.
“All my life, I have felt like a marionette, held by Mo Shixin, but you can seek your own destiny, even if you are a terrorist…you are free. When I saw that Mo Shixin, who had been controlling my destiny, turned out to be a puppet controlling my destiny, I was very confused…”
Mo You really wanted to get out of this room now, to see the expression of Mo Xiao, who had never changed for thousands of years, and the voices from outside continued to come in.
“Lanna promised me many things, knowledge, power, and endless life. There is no doubt that obeying her is the best choice. But that also means becoming a puppet again.”
“But you actually have a choice.”
“What choice?”
“Now you can be the biological daughter of the traitor Lanna, or a survivor who rescued the professor regardless of safety. Although you say you are a marionette, you are still yourself. Now you can make your own Choose, and your choice can influence their fate.”
As soon as Mo You finished speaking, he heard Mo Xiao laughing intriguingly from the other side of the wall.
She patiently waited until her sister finished laughing, and then heard Mo Xiao whisper to her.
“Close your eyes.”
She closed her eyes reflexively, and then felt a long-lost light in front of her eyes, and a pair of warm hands pulled her up from the corner of the room.
“Don’t open your eyes, if you see the light now, your dog’s eyes will be blind.”
“Have you decided?”
“Heh, do I need to think too much about saving my asshole sister and mother?”
“Is it for nothing that I just poured out my heart and lungs?”
“Let’s go… get that woman out and let’s escape.”
Lanna watched the report from Dyson Bay’s alarm system.
She has a headache.
Mo Xiao ran away with Mo You and Mo Shixin.
This was something she hadn’t expected… No, it should have been expected. But even so, she still had an extravagant hope, she gave Mo Xiao full trust, gave her the right to move freely in Dyson Bay, all the bugs around her were disabled, and she was given enough private space, these It was what she prayed to Lake, and even with such a degree of tolerance, she still chose to leave her side.
The so-called blood ties will also fail.
But what made her even more puzzled was…after the ark was built, why would some people refuse to board the ark?
She can’t understand. But… After all, she can’t let Mo Xiao leave with Mo You and Mo Shixin like this, especially let her rendezvous with the wilderness that the gods are particularly afraid of, that will definitely make things very troublesome, maybe… Likely to be killed.
This matter cannot be handed over to a rigid robot. In that case, there are too many uncertainties, but right now she doesn’t have anyone available… Her list of candidates is not ready yet. If this is the case, then you can only use someone else.
Those who are good at making people can make people wise, brave, stupid, cowardly…greedy.
So she pressed a key and sent a task to a person on the computer.
When filling out the detailed instructions, she hesitated a little, and then typed a series of instructions on the computer with barely visible fingering.
But the core is just two words – execution.
When Ruoyue received this message, she was in a daze.
She can’t remember how many employers she has served as a double agent. She knows that in this world, all things can be done, the key is whether they are beautiful or not, and whether they dare to do them.
She’s a flawed guy.
She wasn’t sure if it was nature or nurture, it might have something to do with her powers, or it might have been nurtured by the Coalition’s brutal and harsh training.
But in short, she is a person with weak feelings, or to be more precise, a person who has no empathy at all. She pretended to be frivolous and cynical, all to cover up this, so that she could pretend to be a human being, including when she was sharing the bed with Mo Shixin.
In fact she is a monster herself.
What is the biggest difference between humans and monsters? That is, people have a purpose when they destroy, but monsters do not. She is a monster that repeats killing and destruction aimlessly. She has to be given purpose and meaning.
To be honest, she quite liked her previous employer – Mo Shixin. She really gave a certain amount of loyalty to this person, although she didn’t know if her definition of loyalty was wrong. But compared to other people, she is more willing to take this person’s task, and… Mo Shixin also made her experience the happiness that only higher creatures have, and she often said some intriguing things to her, making some inexplicable analogies, It’s like treating her like a human being.
But since Mo Shixin could no longer provide her with a purpose, the service was terminated.
She must throw herself into the pursuit of a new purpose.
Ruoyue Pumu used post-it notes to write down all the people who were going to be killed in this mission, Huang Yuan, Mo You, Mo Shixin, and… Mo Xiao, these are all acquaintances, although Mo Xiao specified Catch alive, but she didn’t intend to do it, because she had let the little girl go once, and it was impossible to let her go again in the same place. And… let’s kill her the way I killed Chen Yang.
This is the rule that Ruoyue made for herself, it doesn’t make any sense, she just thinks that having such a rule can make her look like a principled person.
Judging from the information Lanna sent, Mo Xiao was given the authority not to trigger the various alarm mechanisms of Dyson Bay. In addition to the current chaotic situation in Dyson Bay, it seems that it is still troublesome to find her. But there is nowhere to find it when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
Just as she was looking from a high place, she noticed three stumbling figures not far away, walking through the streets of Dyson Bay.
After the activation of Dyson Bay, most of the residents on it fell into astonishment. Before they let go of the murderers and arsonists, they were controlled by the Dyson Bay alarm system, which has become a mobile fortress, and all of them were sent to centralized management. Mo Xiao is the only one who can still run around on the street, as if entering the land of no one.
She smiled and patted the dust on her coat, and stood up from a high-rise building somewhere.
Just about to jump, she suddenly noticed that Mo Xiao, who was stumbling, was carrying her previous master, Mo Shixin, behind her back.
Today, she is much older, and looks like a drooling dementia.
Ruoyue hesitated for a moment, the corners of her mouth raised bluntly, it wasn’t because she had any emotional fluctuations, it was simply because she had developed the habit of smiling when she made a decision.
“It’s a surprise that you have become like this,” Ruoyue said to herself.
“Why did it end like this?” At this moment, ethereal words came from Ruoyue’s side.
This place is hundreds of meters high, and there are not many footholds. Ruoyue scanned the surrounding footholds as quickly as possible, but finally found that the sound came from mid-air.
In front of her, floating a white-haired woman.
“Ah… I seem to have seen you more than once.” Ruoyue pretended to think about it, and said with a smile.
She had indeed seen Gherardini, in the library, and in the materials Lanna had given her.
For some reason, she has an instinctive intimacy with Gherardini, which is like the instinctive excitement of similar people seeing him.
“Why did it end like this?”
“Huh? What ending, you mean the professor’s ending?” Ruoyue grabbed a telegraph pole and fell to the ground along with it.
“Do you usually watch TV dramas?” Gherardini also fell to the ground.
“Eh? Me, I’m very busy. Although I don’t know what I’m busy with all day, I really don’t have time to watch TV dramas. Do you like watching TV dramas?”
“I don’t know because I’ve seen very little,” Gherardini muses.
“What’s in it?” Ruoyue leaned forward and asked, she was much taller than Gherardini, at this time Ruoyue had an idea in her mind.
“It’s about… life? Someone told me, but that person is dead, a doctor. By the way, how is your life?” Gradini suddenly raised his head and looked at the tall woman in front of him.
“Me, I think life can go on for now.” Ruoyue replied with a smile.
“Well, then what are you going to do next? I see you have been staring at those people.”
“I was discovered by you, I want to kill those people, except for the guy with the brown ponytail, what about you, what are you going to do next?” Ruoyue asked without thinking.
“Kill you,” Gradini replied blankly.
“Kill me? All the way from where it’s still snowing?”
Ruoyue pointed to the thin frost on Gherardini’s body.
“Then I should be honored.”
“Indeed, after all, I personally executed you. In my hometown, this is a very high standard of favor.”
“Is this part of life too?” Ruoyue smiled.
“You have a familiar smell on your body,” Gherardini sniffed.
“I have the blood of the four entropy clan flowing through my body. As you can see, I am not a human being, but a bred guy.”
“So that’s the case, using the relics my sister left on this planet.”
“Since it’s life, games are indispensable. Arm wrestling is my favorite game. Do you want to try it?” After Ruoyue said that, she walked to a dining table by the street, and all the people there had already left.
“Okay, life,” Gherardini followed suit.
The two sat down, and Ruoyue said that Gherardini could use any method of cheating, even if she held a machine gun in the other hand, because Ruoyue had never lost in this game, so far, she did not remember to withdraw How many people’s arms passed, and then the person in front of him was eaten alive.
“I’m the best and most perfect creature on this planet. I’m scarier than a nuclear bomb…” Ruoyue stretched out her right arm, and saw that the blood vessels on the arm began to protrude, and then emitted a golden glow, and boiling blood began to appear all over her body. heat wave.
“So you’re the hunter,” Gherardini said, extending his arm too.
The two of us were at the dinner table, and I shook hands and struck a pose.
“Your hands are so beautiful, without any warmth, this kind of touch is amazing,” Ruoyue felt Gherardini’s skin, and couldn’t help admiring.
“3,” Gherardini counted.
“2, it’s still too late for you to regret it.”
“1.”
In an instant, the surrounding air instantly heated up to boiling point, and the mist enveloped the two people. Their arms seemed to be still, but the power was actually transmitted to the surrounding environment. The dining table was instantly melted, and the two stood up immediately and continued A contest of strength.
“3 seconds, it’s over,” following Gradini’s words, Ruoyue found that a large piece of her body was suddenly missing, which was where her heart was.
Immediately, the muscles, fat, bones, and meridians of her body all disappeared in the blink of an eye, turning into minced meat and decomposing in the air, as if being eaten by something, the rest of her body fell down and died. Go, turned into wreckage and fell to the ground.
A few seconds before dying, Ruo Yue’s mouth twitched.
For the first time in her life, she felt an unexpected ecstasy.
“It turns out that death feels like this, so I can be considered a human being.”
Gladini squinted and looked down, blowing away Ruoyue’s flesh and blood on her wrist, she turned her head to look into the distance, and the fleeing crowd had disappeared.
“My life here should be over.”
