132 – Fragments
Even though the neck, which had been pierced by an ice pick, had been repaired a long time ago, the feeling that something was still clogged up did not go away. I couldn’t breathe straight.
I tried several times to breathe, but I couldn’t even breathe out, let alone inhale. My throat got clogged up.
My eyes spun around. The corner of the field of vision was distorted. The distortion soon spread to the entire eye. Charlotte’s face as she looked at me began to twist at will.
No more sharp-edged accusations were heard. Every single word Charlotte uttered was stretched out beyond understanding.
The tinnitus in my ears kept pushing inward. The beeping grew louder and drowned out all other sounds.
After that, Charlotte mentioned a few more characteristics and urged me to respond, but I didn’t hear a single one.
Only the word Master filled my head.
A woman who calls me Master. The weight of those words was by no means light. Rather, there was a possibility that it was much heavier even if it was weighed against the whole world.
That word meant that to me.
Why, when I was teaching Serena, I almost threateningly advised not to use the word teacher.
The reason why I didn’t want to teach people that knowledge even though I was learning all the knowledge of the past.
The reason I kept reminding Charlotte that she and I were on equal footing.
The reasons started to come back one by one.
My throat was stuffy. From the mouth, which must have been attached well to its original form, instead of inhaling and exhaling, only a monstrous groaning sound could be heard.
He raised his trembling hand and brought it to his neck. All I could touch was my skin. He grabbed his neck with both hands as if trying to push something out of the inside.
Even then, there was no way the air could pass through the clogged neck again. Yes, it’s been a long time since my neck was restored to its original state by the super regeneration ability that was activated a long time ago.
Not being able to breathe, my sight being infinitely distorted, and hearing tinnitus in my ears were all my hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, and illusions.
But my brain refused to accept that this pain was fake. My throat got even worse. His brain struggled and complained of lack of oxygen.
He said he wouldn’t die anyway, but he was sending out a warning signal built into human instinct that he would die if he continued like this.
Yes, it might be better to die. If I die, at least I can forget all these memories. You don’t have to go through that nightmare again.
You don’t have to live through an eternity that will never end.
Normal thinking was impossible. Every nerve in my body was focused on thinking of just one title.
My body trembled. The hand gripping his neck grew stronger and stronger. His fingers dug into his throat, crushing the larynx inside it.
ㅡMaster.
Memories that had been forcibly shoved into the other side of the memory and buried were shaking wildly. Little by little, the fragments began to crawl out.
In my ear, I heard someone whispering.
ㅡMaster. Try some of these. Will it be delicious? I baked it with care. Yeah? what kind of meat is it? No, do you doubt me? Of course it came from my body. Could I possibly give Master something other than me? This is a thigh cut, this is a cut from the side, and I’ll bring you a liver and a heart ache if you’d like. Because it’s all sorted out. oh, is this bad? Well… … Would you like to try this? It’s my tongue. It’s a part that doesn’t come out much when you peel it off, so wouldn’t it be delicious to eat? Hate this too? Oh, and how about eyeball soup? I just put my eyes in it and boiled it. Did you have a hard time boiling it while maintaining its original shape without oozing? How about it, will it be delicious? I also want to cook and eat Master, but Master will return to its original form no matter how you cut it, so I’ll just eat it alive instead. Hee hee, originally, lovers who love each other cut themselves off and feed them to express their love. So, of course, we should too.
No, this is hallucination. It couldn’t be. This couldn’t be true.
I killed Olivia with my own hands. Olivia, who confessed her love while crying out my name until the very end, stabbed Olivia in the heart with my hand and killed her.
I still remember that feeling. The feeling of crushing Olivia and the feeling of piercing her heart with a greatsword.
And even the beating of a slowly weakening heart transmitted from the handle.
ㅡMaster. Where are you going? I told you. The only place allowed by Master is by my side. So, I clearly told you not to leave me. I told you not to get out of my eyes. But why are you doing that? why? why? I only watch Master all day, why? Aha, got it. Is it because I love you more fiercely if you disobey me? The love I usually give isn’t enough, but is it because I’m embarrassed to express it in words? You didn’t tell me before. Oh, how about this one? Master and I are changing our bodies one by one. Although I won’t be able to keep it for long as it will go back to normal soon, how is it? I think it’s better to do it with your eyes first. I will pluck out my eyes and give them to Master, so Master pluck out my eyes and give them to me too. Each other is looking at the lover through each other’s eyes. romantic right?
It shouldn’t have been. Olivia shouldn’t have been able to show up here.
ㅡMaster. I’m jealous. I can’t contain this jealousy. The fact that there are other people in this world other than me who breathe the same air, walk the same land, drink the same water, exist in the same world, and live the same time as Master. And everything in this world is so jealous that I can’t stand it. No. Never. There should never be such a person. Master, my Master. I am enough of the human being who lives with Master. I, Olivia, are enough for a human who lives the same time as Master.
A black pupil filled with only jealousy looked at me.
The black pupil who was jealous of the sky, the earth, the water, the air, the time, the space, and all humans.
And, in the end, a being who even became jealous of himself.
The eyes of that being were looking at me alone.
—-So, I will kill them all. I dare not presumptuously allow any more human beings to live the same time as Master. I will kill and kill and kill until only Master and I remain in this world. Master, be quiet here. This place is part of me. Master just needs to wait for me here. You don’t need anything else. I only need Master, and Master only needs me. Aha, come to think of it, it’s as if Master is inside me, isn’t it? Do you like Master too? Yes?
It shouldn’t be like that. If you’re going to kill me, kill me He said he could listen to anything I wanted. So you must kill me that’s what i want
A tearful smile hung on Olivia’s lips as she saw me asking in a tone close to pleading.
ㅡMaster. Why would I kill Master?
All I wanted was eternal death.
—-Master, you have to live with me for eternity.
What Olivia wanted was eternal life.
“ㅡ!!!!!”
Unconsciousness flared up. It was because he could no longer bear the flood of memories of the past. My head hurt like it would break.
I heard the sound of my throat being crushed as I began to squeeze it with my hands. There wasn’t any pain, but hearing that sound made me feel like I was barely coming back to my senses.
The darkened vision gradually regained its color. Although the world still looked distorted, it was at a level where I could discern objects.
I raised my head. Right in front of her was Charlotte’s face. It looked like it was staring at me with half-open mouth and blank eyes.
It seemed like a lie that he had been vehemently questioning me until just now. Even in the distorted vision, the emotions in those bloody red eyes could be clearly identified.
Why is Charlotte making that face? My head, which had completely stopped working, rolled here and there, thinking over and over again.
Yes, obviously, while questioning me, the word master—
“ah.”
The neck, which had been crushed by my hand, was restored to its original state. And, as soon as he was restored, he let out a small sigh. It would have been better if I hadn’t remembered.
I shouldn’t have thought of it.
ㅡ I found it.
A voice that seemed to combine all the joy, joy, joy, joy, and delight in the world rang in my ears.
Before accepting that voice into my head, my instincts realized it first. that this must be the truth. don’t deny it anymore.
Olivia is alive.
As soon as I affirmed that fact, my blood vessels squirmed. I felt bad. The whole body creaked. The vision that I wanted to recover was distorted again.
The creaking of her body was the decisive proof that Olivia was still alive and watching over me. Because this was a curse to come back to me quickly.
The country was created only for humans, such a curse.
From the inside of his throat, a horrible, disgusting liquid climbed up his esophagus. I tried to put up with it somehow, but I couldn’t stand it for even 10 seconds and opened my mouth.
A huge amount of black blood gushed out from between the gaping mouths.
“Master?!”
“You?!”
Serena and Charlotte’s voices were mixed with surprise. Those voices disappeared after a while. Olivia’s mind gradually started to color.
The magic of Charlotte who grabbed her by the back was affected by the curse and the magic melted away.
My super-regeneration ability would restore even the current curse to its original state, but Olivia couldn’t have known that. No, because I knew it, I put this curse on it.
While his body vomited black blood, his legs would constantly search for Olivia.
Whether or not the super-regeneration ability worked, it was useless in front of this curse. As soon as the body recovers, the curse will be activated anew, and eventually you will walk to Olivia.
I grabbed the remaining consciousness and raised my regenerative ability to the maximum. If the curse could not be stopped, the duration of its action had to be shortened at least a little.
Of course, it was a futile resistance. My legs creaked and I took a step.
Obviously, there must be some gap before the body recovers and the curse is applied anew, but I couldn’t detect the gap at all.
Blood was constantly spitting out and recovering from his mouth, so he was in no position to utter the right words.
The only hope left now was Serena and Charlotte. He forcibly raised his head to the ground.
My vision was on the verge of completely blacking out. everything was dark. I couldn’t tell whether my eyes were open or closed.
I changed my mind. The regenerative ability that had been raised was restored. Even that wasn’t enough, so this time I tried to delay the regeneration as much as possible.
Heading towards the location where Serena and Charlotte were supposedly supposed to be, he forced himself to swallow the repulsive smell of black blood and the very familiar smell of red blood, and squeezed out his words.
“cut…….”
After that, the mouth and tongue stopped moving.
But even that was enough. It was because the sensation of my body falling to the ground as my legs were cut off was clearly conveyed.
I was really glad that the meaning was conveyed. eyes closed It was only then that I realized that I had just opened my eyes.
ㅡNow, come here. Master.
Hallucinations were heard.
—-This time, I will never miss it.
