I sell Coke in the doomsday

But I never thought that among these ephemera, there would be guys who would be so against me.

The girl in the white dress seemed angry at my calmness, but there was really nothing she could do, so she just said coldly.

"What do I look like to you?"

"Think about it carefully. Without your knowledge, how many humans have died under our parasitism? For example, in this lake, there are many human corpses."

"We were born to hunt humans, not to die for you!"

Does she look like anything?

My eyes flickered, and ripples appeared in the originally calm lake of my heart.

Her demeanor and tone are exactly the same as my impression of humans.

After hesitating for a moment, I still spoke softly.

"You look very much like a human."

Hearing this, the girl in the white dress slowly closed her eyes. After being silent for a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and spoke.

"Because I am alive."

"I am afraid of death. I want to live and do many, many things."

"But your existence tells me that I live only to die for you."

The girl in the white dress bit her lip lightly and asked unwillingly and angrily.

"Why? Why should we die for you humans?"

"We were not born to fulfill your wishes!"

"We are also alive, just like you humans, with our own consciousness, our own joys, sorrows, anger and happiness."

"We don't want such an inexplicable ending!"

"I am going to kill you!"

The girl in the white dress spoke in a stern voice. She moved suddenly and appeared in front of me like an arrow, grabbing my throat with one hand.

But that's all.

Her palms were clasped on my throat, but she couldn't exert any force. No matter how much she wanted to kill me, she couldn't break the rules set by Tongtong.

I lowered my head slightly, looked at the angry and unwilling girl in the white dress in front of me, and spoke softly.

"I'm sorry, at least in this reincarnation."

"All of your epiphyllums exist only as stepping stones."

Chapter 244 Existence (III)

If rules can have a concrete existence, it will definitely not be a square, regular shape.

Instead, it is a vague, strange-looking image.

I looked at the girl in the white dress who was glaring at me, and said sorry, but I couldn't feel the slightest bit of apology in my heart.

Rules and morals are things created by humans. In the beginning, our ancestors did not have these restrictions.

It’s just that our ancestors chose to live together over the long course of time. In order not to hurt each other and to survive better, they had rules and morals as constraints.

Constraints are for self-protection. At least in the beginning, there are no such great concepts.

I cannot regard the short-lived girl in front of me as a human being. Those morals cannot restrain me or protect her.

The girl in the white dress was furious, and her angry look was like a real human being, but it made me feel funny.

Some inappropriate funny moments.

I gently pushed away the girl in the white dress's hand, my expression blank.

"You can't do anything. To put it another way, it's not so nice..."

"You were created to be sacrificed for us."

Hearing this, the girl in the white dress turned pale, raised her hand and swung her fist, hitting me hard in the face, but her arm stopped uncontrollably in the middle.

Seeing this, the girl in the white dress had bloodshot eyes, glared at me with gritted teeth, and spat out two words from her mouth.

"brute!"

I wanted to leave, but after hearing these two words, I stopped involuntarily.

Beast? Isn't this the word I often use to insult others?

I retracted my steps, narrowed my eyes slightly, turned around, looked at the surprisingly angry girl in the white dress, and suddenly asked.

"I have a question for you."

"According to what you said, Tan, as the self-consciousness born from the collective consciousness of the region, can drive any parasitic creature in the region."

"It can be a bird, an animal, or a fish in the water."

"But why did you all choose human bodies without exception?"

The originally angry girl in the white dress suddenly froze when she heard this, and a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes, so fast that she herself might not have noticed it.

As if time had stopped, the girl in the white dress seemed to have stopped breathing. She stood still, staring at me blankly.

She seemed to have thought of the answer.

I gently patted the dirt off my body and spoke slowly in a nonchalant tone.

"Epiphyllums should be considered plants. In your eyes, we humans, birds and animals are just a bunch of moving pieces of meat."

"But why do you always subconsciously exclude the bodies of other animals and give priority to using human bodies?"

I stopped what I was doing, turned to look at the girl in the white dress, and whispered.

"You know the answer, don't you?"

The girl in the white dress remained silent, but still raised her little head stubbornly. However, her expression was shaken at this moment.

I grinned, but it was just my muscles pulling the corners of my mouth, and there was no smile in it.

"What do you mean by collective consciousness of Epiphyllum? In the beginning, you were just a group of moving plants."

"You parasitize on the bodies of various creatures, absorbing their memories and knowledge. However, the consciousness of those birds and beasts is too simple, and you can't learn anything at all."

"But humans are different. They think a lot, they think in a complex way, and they live a long time."

"In a spontaneous manner, you all began to imitate the actions of humans, the ups and downs, the joys and sorrows, and you wanted to make yourself more like a human being."

"The anger you feel right now is just imitating humans. It's fake. It's your unconscious imitation behavior."

Hearing this, the girl in the white dress turned pale, her lips trembled slightly, and she retorted unwillingly and hoarsely.

“No…it’s not like that.”

"I was like this at the beginning... at the beginning."

I sighed softly, strode closer, came in front of the girl in the white dress, stretched out my palm, pinched her white chin, and looked down at her condescendingly.

"So, tell me, why did you choose to possess this girl?"

"Why her? Even among humans, there should be many bodies for you to choose from, but why does it have to be hers?"

As I spoke, I leaned over slightly, put my lips close to her ear, and spoke word by word.

"She's very pretty, isn't she?"

"You like her white dress and her look so you think you should be a girl, a girl like her."

"So, you stole her body, used her voice, imitated her angry look, and loudly called me a beast, calling me the one who was going to let her live in the end."

"You enjoy it. It makes you feel like a human being, like a normal human girl."

"It was you, the epiphyllums, who killed her. She was once a human being who could cry and laugh and wear her favorite white dress."

The girl in the white dress was trembling but couldn't utter a word. I raised my eyebrows slightly and continued.

"I've always been told that my empathy is a little exaggerated."

"But I can't empathize with you. Even if what I'm going to do is to make sure you never show up, I won't feel the slightest bit of regret or apology."

"This is what you deserve."

"So... don't act so pitiful in front of me."

After saying that, I stepped back, looked at the girl in the white dress standing there, exhaled a breath of hot air, and whispered.

"The truly pitiful person is this girl who was only 16 or 17 years old and sank to the bottom of the lake."

"She could have worn this white dress and run and jump and do whatever she wanted or didn't want to do."

The girl in the white dress seemed to have lost all her strength. She stepped back repeatedly and staggered down on the huge green rhizome.

Seeing this, I turned around and left without any lingering feelings or plans to finish it. This time, the girl in the white dress didn't stop me from leaving?

I pushed aside the brush and continued towards the shield point as if nothing had happened.

A lot of time has passed and I have wasted too much time by the lake. I need to speed up. With this thought in mind, I walk faster and faster.

But after a while, I passed through the tall grass, away from the lake, and came to the plain.

When the sun was less than a palm's distance from the horizon, I finally saw the outline of the shield stronghold in my sight.

As I was walking, I suddenly turned around, looked behind me, and said helplessly.

"Why, aren't you convinced?"

I saw that the girl in the white dress was following me less than 20 meters behind me, with a stubborn look on her face. She was covered in dust and her white dress had turned gray. When she heard my question, she raised her head and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I... just... just want to be more human."

Chapter 245 Answer

"I... just... just want to be more human."

Hearing this, my eyes flickered as I looked at the stubborn and unwilling girl in the white dress. She no longer looked the same as when I first saw her. She now looked disheveled and lonely.

Like a child who lost an argument and was determined to prove himself.

Perhaps, as the Nebula Body told me long ago, the so-called self-awareness is the reason why we are stagnate and it is our unique defect.

There are thousands of people with thousands of faces, but there will always be a kind of fool in this world who is willing to sacrifice his own life to prove something that is not important to others.

I came to my senses, withdrew my gaze, turned around and left without any intention of staying, saying something very perfunctorily.

"It's meaningless. Even if you really prove something, it won't change my mind."

The girl in the white dress bit her lip lightly. She didn't show any sign of frustration. Instead, she followed closely and shouted behind me.

"I do not care."

She obviously cares about me, so much that she even wants to follow me, someone she hates.

She was so much like a living human being that it made me a little irritated and annoyed.

I lowered my head and quickened my pace, walking faster and faster. The girl in the white dress followed behind me and also quickened her pace, but always kept a distance from me.

At the same time, her voice kept coming from behind me, making me more and more irritated.

"I'm not leaving until I get the answers I want."

"Even if you don't agree, I will follow you. I know there will be many humans where you are going."

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Listening to the voice of the girl in the white dress, I became more and more annoyed. Finally, I couldn't help but turned around, looked at her coldly, and said in a bad tone.

"You'll only make people feel more disgusted."

"You see, the body you are using now is actually a corpse. It is a corpse that does not belong to you at all."

Hearing this, the girl in the white dress paused and stared at me blankly. Her eyes were red and her small body was trembling slightly, as if she was choking.

The long wind blew, ruffling the messy long hair of the girl in the white dress. Her chest kept rising and falling. After a long while, she spoke in a hoarse low voice with a hint of tears.

“Even if I’m just imitating a human, I won’t consider myself a fake, but I need to prove that I think so.”

"Even if I have to use this stolen body and this stolen voice, I want to find out what I am."
