"I suddenly feel like I've missed out on a lot of things."
Kai Yin, who was still in a daze in the morning, sat in a hotel with an expensive steamed bun in his hand and a bowl of piping hot meat soup in front of him. On the other side, Luo's face was also dark. Even though he had the same expression as Kai Yin, he still couldn't get used to this kind of situation.
Well, it was mainly because of his mental state.
"I think so too, but I feel like that kind of thing …"
He didn't want to do it anymore. After all, they were still underage. Besides, using stolen money to do this kind of thing felt weird to him. Yesterday, he did it on the spur of the moment because he didn't want to admit defeat. After doing it, he only regretted it. However, Kai Yin didn't want to make a mistake in his decision, so he glared at his friend who claimed to be Vastaya Shary.
"How do you feel?"
Luo went silent. He squeezed the steamed bun in his hand and took a few bites. He knew that lying was useless. And to be honest, that kind of feeling was really great.
"I still want more."
After saying that, he was completely dispirited, like a rooster that had lost a fight. Kai Yin also heaved a sigh of relief. Luo was the first friend that didn't want his life, so he was able to relax as well.
"Me too …"
He chewed on the steamed bun and looked at Luo's dispirited face. The two of them sighed at the same time, feeling ashamed of their weak thoughts and actions. That was why Kai Yin thought for a moment before speaking.
"But you're right. We're still too young for this kind of thing. That's why we should think of a way to earn more money. After a few years, we can do this kind of thing to our heart's content. And it's not just this kind of thing. We're people who want to show off our skills in this world. It's too embarrassing to be tied down by this kind of thing. "
He didn't mind using stolen money to do this kind of thing. His concept was different from Luo's. But since this friend of his was so annoying, he didn't mind accommodating him.
And damn that Laast! He kept mocking him last night! So even though it felt good, before he figured out how to block Laast, he would never do such a thing again!
He would never be ridiculed for the same thing twice!
"… Okay, okay. And you're right, we're going to make a name for ourselves in this world! "
Luo Ye finally raised his spirits and revealed a smile. However, his smile quickly stiffened because he saw the young lady he had just bid farewell to being ruthlessly thrown onto the street and beaten up. It wasn't just the girl he met that night. Even the girl who gently accompanied and comforted Kai Yin was thrown into the rain.
At the same time, his ears picked up the voices of the diners at the next table.
"Are they here to collect taxes again … those fellows from the Brotherhood! Are you really not going to give those girls a chance to live?! "
"Shut up! Do you want to be taken away?! Those guys don't care if you're a good person or not! "
Brotherhood?
The organization that is said to unite the Ionians to fight against the Noxus people?
Luo Ye's expression turned gloomy. But when he turned around to discuss with Kai Yin, he saw Kai Yin walking towards the two girls. With a wave of his hand, a red scythe appeared in his hand. Luo Ye's expression changed again. The Brotherhood wasn't an organization from the countryside. Half of Ionia's territory had been invaded by the Void Creatures, and they controlled the remaining half of Ionia's land!
At the very least, he couldn't let Kai Yin fight alone!
There was one other person who was also aware of this matter, and that was Laast.
This matter could be said to be arranged by him. Even though he didn't know that the Brotherhood was here to collect taxes, he had already used his superhuman senses to gather information the moment he entered this town. Even if Kai Yin didn't follow the person he chose to carry out the ritual, this matter would still appear in front of Kai Yin.
As for the reason why, it was because this matter wasn't anything new to Laast. As long as one was in this line of work, they would definitely be bullied in this chaotic world. No matter who Kai Yin chose, he would see that person being bullied and could only endure silently.
This was just like finding a magnet that could attract steel balls in a pile of magnets. As long as one stretched out one's hand, one would be able to find it.
However, Laast didn't instigate Kai Yin to do this entirely because of this. He even used his influence to influence Kai Yin. Instead, he missed the past. He missed the time when he was still a mortal and his father brought him to similar places.
He clearly remembered how his father mocked him and taught him how to do this kind of thing smoothly with his lover. He also remembered how his father brought him to hunt, drink, and find him a new girl. Those actions and pasts that he found unsightly when he was an ascender made him want to bury his head in the sand whenever he thought of them. Now, when he thought of them, it felt so warm and nostalgic.
But just like his mortal father, he, who was once immortal and indestructible, would eventually meet his end. He thought of this before he followed Yatokus into the Heavens. He wouldn't die on the path of revenge. Instead, he would die worthlessly in a land that didn't belong to him. And before he died, he wouldn't be able to breathe the warm wind of Shurima mixed with gravel.
It sounded ridiculous, but when he recalled his first battle, he wasn't thinking about glory.
He wanted to live.
Whether it was the passionate bodies of the girls, the moment of pleasure, or the enjoyment of wine and food, these were all reasons why he wanted to live. Although the most important ones were the love for his family, the reluctance to part with his friends, and the fear of death.
But these.
Kai Yin didn't have any.
Although he feared death, he couldn't find a reason to live. He only relied on his instinctive fear of death to live. When he met Kai Yin, he was already contaminated by the Void and had the will to die. He would rather commit suicide than lose himself and become a monster.
Wasn't this a desire for self, a desire to control himself until the last moment?
But this child's childhood was too tragic. It was so tragic that it seemed that only death was the best outcome for him, and he could no longer endure the pain. So until now, his heart still longed for death. Of course, it was because of the fear of being possessed, but more importantly …
He had never felt the beauty of this world before.
This was something that Laast didn't want to see. Kai Yin wasn't too similar to him, even though they spent their childhood in war. But their circumstances were different. He was still happy, otherwise, his image as an ascender wouldn't be a hamster. Even though he didn't look like a hamster at all, he was still very satisfied with his image as an ascender.
At the end of his life, he wanted to fulfill his duty as an ascender. He wanted to do his best to let this child experience the beauty of this world.
He wanted to tell him that even if he couldn't obtain the love and affection he wanted in a short period of time, there were still countless beautiful things in this world that he couldn't part with. There were still many beautiful things that were worth remembering. Material things and emotions were the most important bargaining chips. It wasn't shameful.
Sometimes, people's motivation was because of their desires. This was not something shameful. What was shameful was those who belittled these desires as worthless and wanted to use this as a pretext to elevate themselves.
Those people disregarded human relationships and viewed human desires as filth. Such people would never admit that bestiality was also a part of being human. They would never be able to embrace their bestiality, understand, tame, and transform their bestiality into their own. They would strive to move forward and transform from a human to a god.
Those who didn't dare to admit that they had a beastly side wouldn't do such a thing. They would only put on a false mask and imitate wooden and clay statues. They would fantasize that they had surpassed the sages and sat at the same table as the gods. They would become gods.
As for teaching others and telling them how to become gods, that was what they should do as ascenders. It was also their greatest duty after ascending. They were ascenders, but the most important thing was that they were pioneers. The way to become an ascender in the Empire was very simple. They had to prove their value to the Empire and show their moral character. When a slave of the Empire could follow the Empire's ladder to become a human and then a human to become a god, the goal of Shurima would be finally achieved.
Unfortunately …
The pioneers had fallen. Everyone knew that the power of the Void was only a catalyst. The real cause of Shurima's demise and their glory turned to dust was the desire in their hearts.
Perhaps Shurima's goal had been wrong from the very beginning. They relied too much on the power of the sun disk. They always thought that as long as the sun disk existed, as long as the ascender bloodline existed, Shurima's greatness would never end. But reality proved them wrong. Whether the ascender bloodline was lost or not wasn't too important. What was important was a fuse, a fuse.
If Azir had succeeded in ascending at that time, perhaps everything would have been different.
Unfortunately, he had failed. He had been defeated by his own arrogance.
As for these Ascenders, they were also defeated by their pride. They all felt that their methods were the most beneficial to the country. Only then could they truly bring Ascension to the side of those who were worthy of Ascension. But the result was no different from those mortals who fought for power. In the end …
They only received destruction.
Thinking of this, Laast thought of the news that spread like wildfire in the dark side circle, but no one cared about it on the surface. It was the news that Azir had raised the sun disk again and truly ascended. Everyone was very happy and cared about this matter, but no one said anything about returning to the sun's disk.
"What's the use of ascending now? Mistakes have been made and time has passed. Even if time can be diverted, can we really pretend that nothing happened? "
Laast sighed softly and looked at the sky.
In all fairness, did they really hate the Gods in the sky? Did the Gods in the sky really make a mistake by destroying them? Did they hate Zooey the most because 'she made humans betray' them and gave them the weapon to seal them? And even if the Gods in the sky didn't exist, would the mortals who suffered the pain of war really not betray them?
Laast couldn't answer this question anymore.
"Hey, you guys are really arrogant!"
Kai Yin carried his scythe and looked at the big sisters who were grabbing the hair of the ones who were intimate with him last night. His eyes were full of anger.
Even though they only had a proper transaction of money, he still couldn't hold himself back after seeing this scene. Even though he knew it was stupid and would cost him his life, he wanted to experience something that he had never experienced before in the last period of his life.
This was also why he knew that Laast was provoking him, but he still fell for it.
He didn't want to leave any regrets in his life because he was about to die. He didn't want anyone to remember him and no one would be sad because of his death. So even though it was despicable, he did befriend Luo because he wanted to make her sad.
At least there would be someone who would shed tears for him after his death.
"Oh? You're the kid who had an affair with her last night?! Ha! I knew it, this guy is really a slut. He even dared to lay his hands on a kid like you. "
However, after seeing him, the warriors weren't afraid at all. Instead, they laughed even louder. Some of them even pointed at the scythe on Kai Yin's shoulder and laughed. It was apparent that even though the scythe on Kai Yin's back looked powerful, it was nothing more than a special scythe in their eyes.
"You want to use force to stop us? What a pity! Your weapon is more suitable for fighting against the rice in the wheat field! "
The warriors laughed exaggeratedly. But when they saw Kai Yin's bloodshot eyes, their laughter came to an abrupt halt.
…
"You're saying that not only did they spend the night with the tavern girl, but they also killed the tax collector who came to collect taxes? I don't know where they escaped to now. "
The person in charge of the Brotherhood humbly nodded in front of Master Yi. Master Yi revealed a look of understanding.
"Got it. I will investigate this matter."
The person in charge of the Brotherhood left after thanking Master Yi profusely. On the other hand, Jie looked at Master Yi uneasily, thinking of a way to absolve Kai Yin of his evil deeds.
"Master Yi …"
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Master Yi raised his hand and shook his head, but the shape of his mouth revealed his thoughts.
"Well done."
