Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 77, Section 015: Jade and Stone

When Ryoma opened his eyes, the anesthesia had worn off, and his consciousness, like a reef revealed by receding tides, slowly became clear. His whole body felt like it was falling apart, and he could feel a tearing pain in his upper body even when he pulled on his arms.

"I'm still alive," he murmured to himself.

"It's been three days, he's not going to die anytime soon."

When Donglongma turned his head, he saw that Luyu was sitting on the side of the hospital bed with his legs crossed, looking down at his phone.

He smiled and said, "That's great, Miss Lust is alright."

"I don't like that title." The woman glared at him, her voice lowering. "Just call me A-Yu."

"Oh."

Lustful Man put away his phone, looking somewhat embarrassed: "Thank you..."

You Donglongma chuckled softly, "You're welcome, we're partners."

"Who's your partner? You think too highly of yourself!" Lust turned her head away, her black hair swirling and dancing in the air.

The young man was unsure of the girl's attitude. He scratched his head and noticed that his head was still wrapped in medical gauze.

"Here."

Before me is a bright red apple.

In ward 16, fruit prices are slightly higher, making it a good choice for visiting someone in the hospital.

Longma felt a warmth in his heart. His hands were a little sore from twitching, but he still took the apple from the woman's hand and said, "Thank you."

"Click."

It even has a slightly sweet taste when you take a bite.

"He's such a timid guy, but he turned into a completely different person when the explosion happened." Lust muttered to himself, his smooth arms resting on his knees, his eyes darting around.

"Huh?" Ryoma couldn't remember why he had jumped up at that moment. In short, everything was a blur. "I remember Lazy Brother saying that you are afraid of fire. That kind of situation must have been very dangerous for you."

Lustful and enraged, he laughed: "Ha, isn't it dangerous for you?"

"Or do you have some ulterior motive towards me?"

After saying that, she took a step back cautiously.

"..." Ryoma was somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing his expression, the girl pouted and gave him a way out: "Fine, I don't think you have the guts to do that."

"You'll find out if I have lustful thoughts, won't you?" the young man chuckled.

"Having lustful thoughts is useless; I'm a barren woman," she said nonchalantly.

"what?!"

Lust glared at him and said, "In a way, it's about physiological significance and ability."

Ryoma was somewhat taken aback. He thought of Gluttony, who, despite possessing the ability of a glutton, had lost his sense of taste; and Lust, while able to keenly perceive desire, had lost its own desire.

He murmured, "Is everyone carrying some kind of burden in order to master these abilities...?"

"You've got the cause and effect wrong," Lust said coldly, looking at him.

"This is a curse we were born with, and it has little to do with our abilities. Abilities are all developed later in life. Strictly speaking, we only gained our abilities after we overcame the curse."

She held her right arm and said, "The seven of us are all burdened with our own curses. Only by surrendering our own sins can we have the right to manage the sins of others. But do you know that sometimes I envy those who possess original sin?"

The words of lust lacked his usual arrogance, instead revealing a deep melancholy.

“Anu and I have always wanted a child, but I am really powerless to have one.”

"Fate played a cruel joke on us. Ah Nu's power is the burning flames of fury, while I happen to be someone who fears fire. Furthermore, due to my physical condition, we can't even be called lovers, let alone have any marital relationship. We are also living beings, and there is nothing more vicious than the curse that kills the right of life to create life..."

The dragon horse remained silent.

"I don't even dare to linger when I pass by stores selling maternity and baby products. How could anything be so terrible?"

The woman's temperament is like that of a girl who never grows up; presumably, the raging older brother has been taking meticulous care of her all these years.

“Miss Ayu, but at least Brother Bao Nu has always cared about you, and your relationship has always been very close, hasn’t it? Lovers admiring each other is already a rare and precious happiness.”

He smiled and said, "If you really like children, you can adopt one. Blood ties are not the only factor that determines kinship."

"When I was little, my father died in a car accident, my mother died from a sudden illness, my best friend was involved in a crime, and my girlfriend in college was brutally murdered. But I still gritted my teeth and got through it."

"I cherish what I have now more than what I have lost, because I am always afraid that, without realizing it, some precious person will leave me."

Lust sneered: "That's what I dislike about you."

"Although not old, he is like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes. He dares not pursue any extravagant desires or expectations, only seeking a peaceful and stable life. He accommodates other people's ideas and is also aware of the need to sacrifice himself at any time."

"Don't think that this is noble. On the contrary, how can you truly open your heart and enjoy life if you are always closed off by the idea of ​​sacrificing yourself?"

Lust scolded, "Sister Arrogance saved you because she respects and cherishes life. Don't take matters into your own hands and waste her good intentions."

“Ah…” The sudden mention of arrogance caused Ryoma’s expression to become complicated.

"She carried not so much a curse as a self-imposed shackle. She always loved that passion for life and would help those who risked their lives without hesitation, which was not the behavior of someone who looked down on everyone else."

As Ryoma recalled the time when everyone was laughing, Aoman quietly leaned to the side, listening intently.

Like the most tranquil and moving painting in the dark of night.

She may rarely speak, but standing quietly, one can almost feel the peace in her heart just by looking at her face.

Lust patted her clothes, stood up, and said, "Alright, my kindness ends here. You get some rest. I need to go make contact with them. Gluttony will come to take care of you later, so don't wander off."

Is everyone busy?

Lustful and angry, she said, "What do you think? Humans are attacking the White Walkers! Such a big thing, who knows how much more trouble it will cause? Everyone is investigating, and there's a bad feeling about this whole thing."

"There's news."

Lust swiped his finger down, looking down at his phone.

"Are the others looking for you to meet up?"

"Yes, our own secret communication channels."

She stretched, moved her neck, and stared out the window: "Anyway, stop talking nonsense about peaceful coexistence with humans."

"If you die, I won't even have anyone to bully."

She glared at him with lust.

You Donglongma lowered his head, did not reply, and clenched his hands tightly on the quilt.

With a creak, the door closed just as the young man looked up.

The woman's footsteps disappeared into the hallway outside the door.

He sullenly withdrew his gaze, looking out the window at the gloomy, dark trees whose dappled shadows couldn't penetrate the orange glow of the streetlights.

The thought that this space is filled with White Walkers makes me feel inexplicably oppressed.

He longs to return to human society and prove that the two sides can coexist.

You Donglongma sat up, still wearing his hospital gown, but the pain seemed to have lessened considerably. Gritting his teeth, he carefully tugged at his clothes and, under the cover of night, left the ward.

The sanatorium offers even more freedom than the hospital; as long as you can afford the fees, the nurses on duty do not restrict whether you stay or leave.

The White Walkers are not as fragile as humans; their ability to walk and move indicates that their injuries have healed.

He stepped into the corridor, where all was silent, and a red dot in the corner flickered.

Thank you so much for all your votes! I'll always remember them, and I'm so happy to see them on the back end.
