"Young man, you're smarter than I thought." 3844 smiled, indirectly acknowledging Zhang Jue's words.
The wine in his hand was poisonous, a poison that could kill him.
Originally, he wanted to enjoy it alone. He did not expect Zhang Jue to break through the restrictions he set outside and come here.
Zhang Jue looked at him, confused. "You've been resurrected, and your strength has increased greatly. Whether it's GOC or the Golden Foundation, they would have to pay a huge price to restrain you. To a certain extent, you've already obtained freedom. Why did you commit suicide?"
Feeling Zhang Jue's kindness, 3844 sighed. "I'm a remnant of the old era. There's no sky for me to fly in the new era. I have no intention of returning here — I'm no longer 'me'."
His words were obscure and difficult to understand. Zhang Jue was unprecedentedly serious. "If you're not in a hurry, tell me your story."
3844 looked at Zhang Jue.
Zhang Jue's eyes had a calmness and steadiness that did not match his age. He knew that this was indeed someone he could confide in.
3844 suddenly smiled. "I was going to tell this to my old friend. Since he's not here, I'll tell you.
"Unlike you humans, we 'dragons' have souls after we die. After I was executed by the SCP, my soul drifted in the world without hatred. Then, one day, I met 'it'. "
Zhang Jue frowned. "It?"
"Yes." 3844 nodded. "I don't know what 'it' is. I've lived for thousands of years, but I've never seen such a thing. It gave me power, changed my state of existence, and brought me back here.
"However, I realized that I've changed. I'm no longer a gentleman. I started to go berserk. I wanted to kill everything in sight. I wanted to destroy civilization and science.
"I tried my best to control it, but the more I tried, the more it eroded my body. Soon, my mind would be completely occupied by it. I would no longer be 'me'.
"I'm a remnant of the old era. There's no sky for me to fly in the new era."
3844 repeated this sentence.
"I know very well that I don't belong here.
"This time, I will truly 'die'."
He shook the goblet in his hand, and the liquid in the goblet made a crisp sound.
"This gin was promised to me by my old friend, but we never had the chance to drink it. In these last moments, I want to savor it."
3844's eyes were calm. He had already made up his mind.
Zhang Jue knew that at this moment, there was nothing he could say to change the situation.
Perhaps it was a little ridiculous.
The giant dragon that GOC had failed to kill despite all their efforts was now thinking of committing suicide.
Although the chances were slim, Zhang Jue still wanted to try. He asked, "Is there no way to stop this erosion?"
3844 shook his head. "It is the complete opposite of me. As long as I continue to interact with your civilization, your science, it will continue to erode me until I am completely replaced."
"Alright." He smiled. "Let's end the conversation here. Thank you for listening, young man. If I had met you earlier, perhaps we could have become friends. But now, it's too late."
Zhang Jue fell silent.
Facing a person who was ready to die, even if it was him, there was no way to change the other party's mind.
3844 raised the goblet in his hand high. "To you, to my old friend, and to this world."
He finished the wine in his goblet in one gulp.
Zhang Jue looked at 3844. He did not say anything, nor did he try to stop him. This was his respect for 3844.
3844 did not show any signs of abnormality after drinking the poisoned wine. However, Zhang Jue noticed that his feet were gradually becoming transparent as if an unknown force had erased them from this world.
The speed of his disappearance was very fast. A minute later, 3844 was only left with the upper part of his torso.
A moment later, he would disappear from this world forever.
