14.
With the concerted efforts and loving care of all the little plagues, Su Yun finally grew up to the age of eleven or twelve and was able to go to public school.
Compared with the past, this era was a period of highly developed social division of labor, and a system for early childhood education had long been formed. However, for families like Syracuse, children were still mainly educated at home before entering public school.
But he still had to go to school, so Su Yun was sent to the same school that his little plagues had attended. The outside of the public school remained the same as before, but there were some changes brought about by technology inside the campus.
This combination of old traditions and new things is very novel.
After the car door opened, Flora put her arm around Su Yun's shoulders and walked out from the back seat. The gods and servants around him were also dressed in uniform. For a moment, Su Yun was completely submerged in the black ocean, and he was one of them.
"My God, I will take you back when the moon is full." Flora whispered, her little snake swimming lovingly on Su Yun's arm, "Please wait a little longer, it will be over soon."
Su Yun nodded: "Okay, thank you."
Su Yun had not originally thought that he would be sent to school, but this doubt was answered when he saw the people who came to pick him up. In this world, the little plagues had rarely made time allocations for him. They seemed to be looking forward to him completing his growth cycle quickly. But in this case, why did Flora set the baby start?
Julia was waiting for him outside the school gate - as expected, he was also wearing a black suit, but his clothes were of a very simple style, forming a not-so-sharp contrast with Flora's complicated style.
Flora stood outside the school gate, while Julia half-knelt down. He opened his arms towards Su Yun, and his purple eyes looked at him through a layer of lenses.
“…Come to me.” Julia laughed and then mouthed, “Father.”
This scene was like a handover of responsibilities. For a moment, Su Yun felt like a child whose parents were divorced - oh, he was...
Although strictly speaking, that was not his life.
Su Yun took a few steps forward, and Julia hugged him tightly. There seemed to be light in her deep purple eyes. After a short hug, Julia stood up again and returned to her usual proud look.
He took Su Yun's hand and nodded slightly to Flora.
Flora responded nonchalantly, and then he turned around and left without saying anything.
This was truly a rare peaceful scene. Although Su Yun knew that the reality was not as harmonious as they appeared, he still breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your residence and classes have been arranged." Julia said as she walked, "But before you enroll, I have also prepared an entrance ceremony for you to celebrate your admission to the school."
Su Yun couldn't help but laugh: "I'm not really a child, there's no need to be so troublesome."
"That won't do..." Julia laughed, "The minimum age for admission to public school is thirteen. We must have a celebration ceremony."
Su Yun was stunned, and suddenly understood - he needed to grow a little more before he could enter school, which means that this entrance ceremony was essentially the same as his first prayer, art enlightenment and first equestrian lesson.
Julia led Su Yun around the main road. They walked further and further away, and finally arrived in front of a two-story building. Julia opened the door and said, "This is where I will live temporarily, and it will also be your future dormitory."
Su Yun walked into the door with him. The light in the house dimmed in vain. Su Yun asked, "Why is Julia here? I thought you would be in the Royal Society."
"Even the busiest researchers need a break... I'm on vacation now." Julia replied with a smile, "The environment of the public school is the best sanatorium. I also work part-time as a mathematics teacher here."
As soon as Julia finished speaking, a beam of light came on in the room, and the dim room was illuminated by the weak light. The room was very crowded, and all around were metal tables that had been moved away. Only in the center was there a small wooden table that was not very big, and on the table was an exquisite but small cake.
This room was probably originally a research room. Su Yun saw more than one skeleton specimen in the corner of the room. Non-destructive instruments were neatly placed on the metal table, flashing a faint light in the dimly lit environment.
Su Yun: “…”
Su Yun sat down at the side of the table, facing a small skeleton in the corner. The skeleton was not quite normal, and the deformed sternum could be vaguely seen.
"It came from the Freak Circus." Julia walked over to Su Yun. He picked up the knife on the table and wiped it with a snow-white napkin. "Humanity's rejection of aliens has given it a very tragic fate."
Su Yun looked at Julia quietly. Julia nodded slightly to him, then picked up the tool which was too sharp for a table knife and cut it along the texture of her palm.
The bright blood dripped into the small teacup, which was particularly shocking against the backdrop of bone china.
"Please don't worry, I will heal the wound immediately." Julia kept smiling. When his blood covered half of the cup, he stopped and said, "Please drink it...be patient for a while."
Su Yun took the cup and drank it all.
Very bitter - this was his first feeling. Then, the bitter taste slowly disappeared, and a faint sweetness filled the air, with a fishy smell similar to that of decay.
If Isis's blood is like wine, Julia's is like tea.
"All my specimens come from unfortunate people." Julia lowered her eyes and looked at Su Yun. Her gaze was fixed on Su Yun's blood-stained lips, but she was saying something completely unrelated. "They all died tragically. It's a pity that they can't be resurrected."
13.
Su Yun officially started his academic career. He originally thought that he would not be accustomed to a school for human cubs, but the real campus life was unexpectedly peaceful.
No one dared to disturb Su Yun. They could only watch him from afar, thinking they were spying on him covertly, secretly admiring him, and targeting every student who dared to contact Su Yun.
Even the teacher was trembling in front of him.
"His eyes are so beautiful. There are actually silver eyes in the world."
"All the direct descendants of the Syracuse family have silver eyes. Don't you even know this?"
"The previous generation of their family... I didn't expect there was still..."
Su Yuncai also knew what they were talking about, but he didn't care about it at all. He went to class as usual every day and returned to the old house once a month.
Five years passed like this, ordinary days. Such days reminded Su Yun of the last time he entered the world, the only difference was that last time he was the master of the family, while this time he was a child who was taken care of.
This peaceful daily life even gave Su Yun an illusion that his little plagues had been getting along well with each other since they were created, without any conflicts between them.
Now, there is only one year left before he graduates.
12.
On the eve of graduation season, all the seniors were in a carnival. These big boys were eager to vent their inner restlessness. For a while, there was a lot of chaos and even Su Yun was inexplicably affected.
Julia has picked up her job on and off several times in the past few years, and now that Su Yun is about to graduate, he has officially resigned from the public school.
On this day, the school activities ended early. Su Yun was planning to return to Julia's building, but stopped when passing by the instrument training room.
He heard noises that shouldn't be in the training room - five heartbeats, and the sounds of punches and kicks.
“…Damn it! Who told you to tell anyone?”
"Beat him to death and let him know the consequences!"
"Shut up! You're annoying me!"
"Tell him to stop making noise and throw it somewhere. Don't let him stay in school..."
"Give him a shot."
This was followed by a heart-wrenching, desperate cry, and then with a short scream, even the cry died down.
Su Yun was silent for a moment, then pushed the door open.
There was a scene of bullying inside the door. There were five teenagers of similar age. One of them was lying on the ground unconscious, and the other one who seemed to be the leader was holding a thin syringe in his hand.
Su Yun's gaze stopped after moving to the syringe.
The violent group almost all fell into a daze after seeing Su Yun. They looked at Su Yun's silver eyes in disbelief. Then some of them ran away in shame, some felt that a disaster was about to happen, and the young man who looked like the leader stared at Su Yun's eyes infatuatedly.
"Senior Syracuse..." he said with difficulty, "We were just trying to scare him. There was glucose in the syringe, and we knocked him out..."
lie.
Su Yun walked slowly into the room and stood beside the victim. He looked at the victim quietly. He could clearly hear the sounds of blood and organs in his body. He could also easily see his internal organs through his skin. His brain was undergoing drastic changes due to the destroyed balance. This irreversible damage would change his fate.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Yun finally came to his senses. By this time, the violent teenagers had long disappeared, perhaps they had escaped.
Su Yun recalled his experiences in another world. The memory of being injected as a child was as clear as yesterday. He could also accurately describe the feeling of the needle piercing his skin, the cold liquid injected, mixed with the blood, and impacted his brain together. Everything was so real, but -
Is that really his memory?
What kind of child was he before he was injected with drugs?
Lively? Mature? Well-behaved?
Su Yun had no impression at all, as if he was a complete outsider in that other world, entering the body of a child at the moment of his death.
That child is "Su Yun", and he is not.
This question was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. It lifted the last veil, and the memories that Su Yun had always been reluctant to recall suddenly unfolded vividly at this moment.
He recalled everything in the other world, and also everything before that world began.
It was just a dream. The real memory belongs to the creator of this world. It should not have a human identity, nor does it have personality or gender. It is not "Su Yun".
That world is its dream. When everything is desolate, when all the little plagues are imprisoned in the pillars, it sits alone on the throne of the gods and dreams a lonely dream.
And before this, God had already had countless dreams.
"My God, what are you thinking about?"
The familiar greeting broke Su Yun's trance. Su Yun turned around and saw Flora at the door.
The man in black clothes and red eyes strode towards him. He waved his hand, and several gods rushed in, picked up the victim on the ground and left the room. The piano not far away began to play a soothing tune naturally, and the door of the music room was closed again. Only Su Yun and Flora were left in the room.
Su Yun was in a daze for a moment: "Flora, why are you here?"
"I'm here to take you back." Flora hugged him, "Please don't worry, I'm here."
Su Yun was not as tall as Flora, and with his young physique, he was two heads shorter than Flora. He leaned against Flora's chest and clearly heard the strong beating.
"...I thought I could wait until your body reaches adulthood again." Flora suddenly said, "Unfortunately, it seems it's too late."
Su Yun didn't understand why Flora said that. Just when he was stunned, Flora suddenly leaned over and kissed Su Yun on the lips.
It was a fierce kiss. Flora bit her tongue directly, and her blood violently invaded Su Yun's mouth. Su Yun could feel his body rising again, but no matter what changes happened to him, Flora always held him firmly in her arms.
The piano music suddenly became grand and solemn. The gentle melody disappeared, leaving only the thrilling sound of the keys being struck again and again.
Su Yun saw his own reflection in the deep red pupils that were so close to him - he had completely recovered to his normal appearance.
"You remember everything, right?" Flora suddenly smiled and gently touched Su Yun's face. "... Too bad, this story is over."
11.
The god who was immersed in the dream woke up.
When this world was created, the countdown to its destruction began, and now, that moment has come.
Seven disasters fell from the sky.
It was sulfur fire falling from the sky, and after the rain of fire there was hail all over the sky. The blood of death infected the rivers, lakes and seas. Severe earthquakes continued. The plague's reptiles, snakes and rats crawled out from the cracks in the ground. The sun and the moon in the sky lost their brilliance at the same time, and monsters were born in the shadows on the ground, biting every living thing.
The shadow of the world began to spread, spreading across the land and the ocean. All living things were dead at this time, and their limbs and bones were wrapped in the sticky shadow. More and more bones piled up. This was the source of the endless corpses in the Styx. They came from worlds that were destroyed time and time again.
The Styx rose higher and higher, extending towards the heavenly palace, as if pushed by countless invisible hands. It swallowed up the remnants of the world and left behind a bridge connecting to heaven.
The dead souls will flow upstream along the Styx, and these shining points of light will return to the divine palace and become part of the divine palace.
The creation of the world means its destruction in the future, and the collapse of the world is the end, the destined outcome, the end of everything.
10.
The world was destroyed, but Su Yun was still held in Flora's arms.
When the world was destroyed, the same pain also lay across Su Yun's body. The rain of fire and hail seemed to burn and freeze his skin directly. The collapse of the earth seemed to be tortured by countless swords. The bloody Dead Sea poured into his blood vessels. The loss of the sun and moon suppressed his perception. The insects, snakes and monsters seemed to be biting his lungs and internal organs.
The world was crying desperately in pain, and Su Yun was trembling all over because of the sudden pain.
Flora hugged him tightly, and he kissed Su Yun softly, repeating words that Su Yun could not hear clearly over and over again.
I don’t know how long this torture lasted. When all the pain disappeared, the world was completely annihilated.
Su Yun woke up in the dark River Styx, Flora was still standing beside him. At this time, he had regained his body as a god, but his limbs and neck were covered with tiny chains.
The chains were blood red, they were lingering and cold, tightly locked around Su Yun's body.
"My God." Flora smiled, "You are awake."
Su Yun wanted to raise his hands, but the heavy chains did not allow him to do so. Their power came from Su Yun himself - chains that could imprison gods could only come from gods.
These chains that absorb strength are actually the blood of the plagues.
Su Yun raised his head suddenly and saw six monsters in the River Styx. These were all creatures that were very familiar to him, the devil lion scorpion, bone snake tentacles, centaur and dragon.
They surrounded him, watching him with their ever-present eyes.
What do they want to do? Hunt? Mating? Eating? All of the above?
Looking at this scene, Su Yun seemed to hear the song played by all things, and also recalled... the ending of "Despair" in the game.
