Chapter 244 One day I will meet you in human form
Yin Xiu pursed his lips and said, "Even if I die, I would rather die than turn into a monster. My sister won't recognize me."
"Oh..." The monster murmured in disappointment, curling up into a ball, "Then you can't turn into a monster..."
It completely curled itself up into a ball, as if thinking about something very important. Yin Xiu couldn't figure it out, so he could only lie in the coffin, helplessly looking up at the darkness, waiting for his body to recover. "Will I turn into a monster?"
"Not yet..."
"I am a monster."
The little monster scratched his head in confusion, "I'm the monster, you're a human."
Yin Xiu pursed his lips and didn't respond, not wanting to argue with it.
"You said your name was Yin Xiu before, right?" The monster huddled there, staring at Yin Xiu in silence, and brought up another topic.
"Yeah." Yin Xiu responded indifferently.
"Everyone should have a name, right?"
"Um."
"Then one day, when I become a human, I will give myself a name. I will tell you then, and you can tell me if it sounds good."
"good."
The monster twisted and squeezed to Yin Xiu's side, its densely packed eyes staring at him in the air, "I really want to keep you by my side forever."
Yin Xiu glanced at him calmly, "Can't I stay with you forever?"
"Maybe..." The monster hesitated, "It's unlikely..."
"Why?"
"Because..." The monster struggled to organize his words, "Because I'm not good enough..."
Yin Xiu looked at the monster's dilemma calmly, "What do you mean?"
"Because I will hurt humans uncontrollably, I don't know how to restrain myself, I haven't learned it yet." The monster twisted in the darkness and moved away from Yin Xiu a little. It stood there as if it was angry with itself and didn't get close to Yin Xiu.
"The human spirit is so fragile. It will collapse if you're not careful. The body will gradually change and cannot be restored to its original state. That's why they all hate me."
Yin Xiu was confused.
"I haven't found a way to avoid hurting you yet, so you can't stay with me." The monster stretched out something and pushed Yin Xiu away. "I won't sleep with you for now."
Then it twisted and turned and crawled a little further away, keeping a distance from Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu narrowed his eyes, not understanding. Anyway, the monster might go crazy and hurt him? But he hadn't seen it so far?
"Are you sure you want to stay so far away?" Yin Xiu's body recovered a little, and then he stood up from the coffin.
Every time he moved closer, the monster retreated a little.
Seeing its firm attitude, Yin Xiu had no choice but to say, "Then I'm going to enter the dungeon. Remember to pick me up when it's over."
He left the darkness muttering, knife in hand.
The monster turned its head and looked at his back, its eyes drooping in trouble.
It doesn't want Yin Xiu to become like those people before. It wants to protect Yin Xiu from being influenced by it and turning into a monster. Yin Xiu has already shown signs of this.
"What should I do?" The monster thought as he flipped through the book, quickly reading through the history of human emotions, trying to find an answer.
When the copy ended, Yin Xiu felt dizzy and covered in blood.
He had just killed a strange boss. Before dying, the boss was still holding a grudge against Yin Xiu. He angrily said, "You're almost like us! Anyone who stays around monsters will eventually become a monster themselves! Only then will we be your kind! You're killing your own monster!"
Yin Xiu slashed at the other party with an expressionless face, ending his conversation. He wiped the blood carelessly and prepared to turn around and leave the copy.
When he lifted up his clothes, he unexpectedly saw that a patch of skin on his lower abdomen had turned black.
Yin Xiu scratched it and grabbed it again. This was his skin tissue, and it had touch, but for some reason... it had completely lost the appearance and touch of human skin and became soft and sagging.
Even the touch seemed familiar; he had felt it before in the dark.
Is this what you mean by uncontrolled harm to humans?
Everyone around it will eventually become a monster, so it will become a monster too.
Considering the little monster's previous questions and his own answers, Yin Xiu seemed to understand why it looked so disappointed.
It was I who rejected it, refused to become one of its kind, just like I refused to become its family member.
A rare look of confusion appeared on Yin Xiu's slightly childish face, and he touched his lower abdomen.
I don't want to become a monster, but I also don't want to be separated from monsters.
That is the only existence that accepts itself. They need each other and are the most suitable to be together.
After wiping his knife, Yin Xiu slowly left the dungeon.
After stepping through the door to leave the copy, a dark road will appear. If he walks along this road, he will reach another dark door.
Only he can enter and exit the door, but the little monster cannot, it is trapped inside.
Today, Yin Xiu stopped in front of the door and did not go in directly.
As soon as he approached this place, his limbs would become sore and weak, and perhaps it wouldn't be long before his body would become limp, just like the monsters he had killed.
Behind the door, there was a sound of a little monster crawling. It came behind the door and was only separated from Yin Xiu by a door.
Yin Xiu raised his hand and prepared to push the door open, but the sound of the little monster immediately came from the other side.
"Don't come in, you can't come in anymore."
Yin Xiu was silent, and tentatively reached out his hand, but as expected, he couldn't push the door open.
He stood quietly in front of the door, his eyes dark and deep, "Are you going to leave me too?"
The little monster struggled to explain, "I won't leave you, but we can't meet now..."
Yin Xiu's breath subsided slightly, and he felt helpless and at a loss. "You were far away from me yesterday, and you're even further away from me today. Sooner or later, you'll lose me."
"I won't lose you. I'll just leave you for a while before I find a way that won't hurt you, but I can use a small part of myself to accompany you." He squeezed out a small pool of mucus from under the crack in the door and arched it out with difficulty.
The pitch-black thing was struggling there, and Yin Xiu didn't see it for a while.
He squatted down, grabbed the puddle of slime and pulled hard, then held it in his palm and carefully looked at the black ball with eyes. "So this is what you look like... Can't you come out?"
"I can only come out a little bit, and I can't help you in any way. I can only stay by your side." The little monster muttered, its limp body leaning against the door, all its eyes staring in the direction of the door, trying to see Yin Xiu's appearance through the door panel.
"It will stay with you until I become human. I will find a way to get out of here, and then more of me will be able to accompany you."
Yin Xiu held the small black ball rolling in his palm. "So where should I take it? Live in the dungeon?"
Then I'm afraid all the monsters in the copy will escape?
"No, go to where you were supposed to be, a resting place outside the dungeon, the Rule Town."
Yin Xiu stood up, holding a small ball in his hand. It was difficult for him to explain his current mood.
He is about to leave here with an important part of his existence and go to a strange place. He doesn't know when he will be able to come back here to see it again, or whether he will never see it leave here again in his lifetime.
He could only hold on to this small part of his life to prove that he had spent time here.
"You must come out to find me as soon as possible, preferably while I'm still alive." Yin Xiu murmured, unconsciously asking for a promise.
The monster replied, "I will definitely come to find you.
"Then you will hear my new name and be buried with me in a human coffin, just like in the books I read."
Yin Xiu lowered his head and hugged the small inhuman existence in his arms tightly, taking it as his only hope.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
The little monster heard the lowness in his voice.
It knew this human was more vulnerable than it was and needed company more than it did, so it slowly soothed him, "Don't be sad, there's a sentence in the book I saw."
"It says, 'We are not parting, but waiting for a better reunion.'
"One day, I will come to see you in human form, I promise.
"Humans don't break their promises, and neither will I."
