"Well... now we just have to wait for the big star to make his comeback."
…
Time passed, the performance on the Education Square was still going on, the wonderful programs on the stage kept changing, the shouts and applause from the audience were rising one after another, the atmosphere in the auditorium was warm and joyful, but in the midst of all the laughter, there were a few silent figures.
One of them was a man wearing a black windbreaker robe, a short hat and gloves. His face was mostly covered by a scarf around his neck, with only a little skin exposed around his eyes. However, the skin he saw was much darker than that of the people around him.
When everyone around was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, this man who was wrapped tightly in clothes was completely unmoved. He watched the show on the stage and the crowd around him, and thought in his heart.
"Celebrate... Celebrate your festival for the last time. The pain caused by the breaking of joy is the ultimate. This pain will be the price you pay."
The man named Kum was thinking silently in the crowd, his eyes looking around were filled with anger and uneasiness. He was one of the human bombs arranged by Sadow in the audience, and as soon as the time came, he and his two other companions would detonate the bombs on their bodies, bringing a shocking new surprise to these people.
Like Saduo, Kum's tribe also suffered heavy losses in the conflict with the Minoan colonists. Some of his relatives and friends died in the conflict, while others were seriously injured. He was determined to take revenge, so he appeared here.
Because of the blood feud, Kum hated everyone around him immensely. The joy they displayed during the celebration made Kum feel sick and nauseous. On the one hand, he wished he could immediately detonate a bomb to blow up everyone around him. On the other hand, he himself felt a little uneasy about his impending death. After all, no one could remain completely unmoved when facing death.
"There is no need to be afraid... I will return to the Great Soul like a hero and reunite with my people there."
In this mixture of anger and panic, Kum murmured in a low voice the spiritual seal to repeat his emotions, then he pressed his windbreaker with one hand, and after feeling the stick-like object tied around his waist behind the windbreaker, he tried hard to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and strengthened his determination.
Kum was waiting patiently in the crowd, waiting for the appointed moment to arrive. In order not to feel anything unusual, he would look up at the performances on the stage while hiding in the crowd. Many of the performances of the Yi people seemed extremely boring to Kum. With the complicated mood in his heart at this moment, he had no intention of watching them seriously.
Patiently, Kum continued to watch the performance on the stage. After who knows how many shows it was, the host who appeared during each interval of the performance stood on the stage again. He announced something loudly in an excited tone in a language that Kum could not understand. When he finished speaking, the crowd around him burst into cheers that were much louder than before. This unusual cheering made Kum alert for a moment. He began to look at the stage carefully, paying attention to the changes on it, and then he found a familiar figure walking up.
She was a gorgeous woman. Kum recognized her. She had appeared on the stage once before in a previous show and caused shocked cheers from everyone at the scene. Her beauty moved Kum, even as a native of the New World who had a deep hatred for the aliens. Her dance was the only one that attracted him in the entire show. At that time, Kum even hoped in his heart that the dancer would not be affected by the explosion that occurred later. He was relieved when the dancer left the stage, but he did not expect that she would come again now.
In Kum's eyes, the female dancer at this time had changed into a new dance dress. The color of the dress changed from red to purple, and there was no other dancer. As the music sounded, the dancer began to dance again.
The dancer's dance this time was very different from the last time. Her last dance was full of sexy rhythms, but this time it was very light and graceful, which was refreshing.
Wearing a pure purple dance skirt, the dancer danced freely on the stage. Her dance this time started from slow to fast, moving in stillness, from subtle to graceful and gradually to vigorous, just like a budding life, growing from a small bud to a big tree.
The dancer's dance seemed to contain great potential. Kum was attracted by the dance at a glance. He kept staring at the performance on the stage. His inner emotions seemed to be stirred by the dancer's movements, which made him have a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Seeing Adele's dance, Kum recalled the vibrant forest in his hometown and the happy times he had spent hunting in it. He suddenly missed that period of life. If he died here now, would he never be able to experience such a life again?
All along, Kumu has been remembering his relatives who died at the hands of the colonists, because the death of these relatives gave him enough motivation to come here for revenge. But at this moment, he thought more about the relatives who were still alive, wondering if they would be more sad if he died here, and who would take care of them if he died...
Watching the dancers on the stage, such thoughts grew deep in Kum's heart and became more and more out of control. He, who had originally determined to die, began to become hesitant. His instinct for sex, which had been suppressed with great difficulty by the desire for revenge, suddenly swelled up rapidly at this moment, and his already uneasy heart began to become restless rapidly.
'No, I don't want to die... I don't want to die yet! I don't want my life to end like this! I still have many other things I want to do! I don't want to risk my life for revenge!'
This thought gradually took over Kum's heart. The desire hidden deep in the heart of every creature expanded rapidly at this moment. His hand that was touching the bomb on his body began to tremble, and tears began to flow from his eyes unconsciously.
"Hmm, sorry... Sadho, I... I suddenly can't do it..."
With a choked voice, Kum Lingyin, who was sobbing in the cold wind, murmured in a low voice. After wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he took his hand off the bomb.
Afterwards, driven by his inner desire, Kum began to turn around in the crowd and silently squeezed out of the crowd. He had already given up his mission and was determined not to risk his life to perish together with these strangers around him. He wanted to leave here immediately.
After a rush, Kum squeezed out of the crowd and walked silently outside from a hidden corner of the square. His action was seen by a crow on the lamppost.
In the crowd, in front of the stage, Dorothy watched this scene from the puppet's perspective and a slight smile appeared on her face.
'The three human bombs all gave up their mission and chose to leave under the group desire created by Adele. The human bomb crisis has been resolved.
'Heh... As expected, the inner balance of people who are forced to become human bombs by hatred is very fragile. It only takes a slight push, and the balance is very easy to achieve. After all... the desire for survival is the greatest desire that every creature is born with. The desire for sex is the most basic and strongest of all the instinctive desires of creatures, and it cannot be deprived.
'Emotions such as hatred can suppress the desire for sex temporarily, but they cannot completely eliminate it. For Adele, it should be easy to deal with such strong instinctive desires.'
Watching Adele dancing the famous Hymn to Life on the stage, Dorothy thought in her heart that this dance contained a subtle guidance of the desire for sex. This guidance was nothing for normal audiences who came to watch the performance, because no one felt that they were in a life-threatening crisis. However, it was different for those flesh bombs who were deeply trapped in their inner struggles and were about to send themselves to death. The unbalanced outbreak of the desire for sex would make them give up their mission.
"Now that all the flesh bombs have been found, it's time for the others, the eight-pointed spiders..."
Looking around, Dorothy's smile became more obvious.
