Human beings can no longer satisfy us

Chapter 246 Miserable girl.

Lin Xiaolong, who followed the old man, walked slowly on the street, he didn't understand what caused Cosette to do this.

Obviously there is a better way, why did she still choose to use the worst way to solve the problem.

This is no longer something that can forgive her. It is impossible for innocent lives to be sacrificed for her alone.Just to survive, there are many ways.

Walking on the road, Lin Xiaolong looked at the old man leading the way:

"You know Cosette."

The old man stopped when he heard Lin Xiaolong's words, and looked back at him, not understanding why he asked such a question.

But the old man said respectfully:
"Yes, I know all about Cosette. Need I tell you?"

"tell me."

Lin Xiaolong nodded seriously, watching the old man waiting for his narrative.

Hearing Lin Xiaolong's words, the old man turned around and walked forward slowly, slowly spit out things about Cosette.

"Cosette was originally an ordinary girl. She had an imperfect family and a person she liked. She lived a simple life every day and had no pursuits. If she had to say her wish, it was to have a complete family. There is a father, a mother, that’s all. Many times Cosette longed for the person she likes to confess to her, and of course Cosette also waited for that person’s confession.”

The old man's voice was very low and without much emotion.

"Cosette was very happy when he got that person's confession, and put almost all the expressions on her face. She also agreed with that person's confession, and thought it would be a happy thing. But Cosette never dreamed Unexpectedly, that person was just deceiving her. That person took advantage of Cosette's trust in him and sold her to a slave owner. Later, after our investigation, we learned that Cosette became a slave, and when she was sold You stabbed the nobleman and fled, and then met Master Lin Xiaolong, you know what happened after that."

After listening to the old man's words, Lin Xiaolong felt speechless.At the same time, he was more concerned about why the old man knew all this, so he couldn't help asking:
"Why do you know so well?"

Hearing that the old man smiled mysteriously, bowed his head respectfully and said:
"I'm just an old man. I don't have any combat power, no power to stop others, and no power to change others. But I have the ability to see other people's past. Of course, Mr. Lin Xiaolong, your past , I can see it too."

After listening to the old man's words, Lin Xiaolong's pupils shrank, and he looked at the old man in disbelief.

The world is full of wonders and ever-changing.The old man who sees the power of other people's past can naturally see Cosette from Lin Xiaolong, and then find Cosette to see her past.

Realizing this, Lin Xiaolong felt a little vigilant, his past is not something everyone can see.

At this time, the old man showed a very puzzled look, and said seriously:

"Although I can see Master Lin Xiaolong's past, what I see is very strange. Many things are intermittent. The battle that Master Lin Xiaolong has experienced can be said to be unprecedented, but it is only a battle. This feeling is like It’s like Master Lin Xiaolong was summoned by others in order to win, Master Lin Xiaolong, are you really human?”

After hearing what the old man said, Lin Xiaolong almost understood that the old man can only see the things of this world, but not the things of the original world.

Understanding this, Lin Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the old man seriously and said:

"It's human. Don't talk about me now, I want to know why Cosette did this? There is a better way, why not choose."

However, the old man did not answer Lin Xiaolong's question, but stopped and stood at the door of a house and said:

"We are here, Mr. Lin Xiaolong. Miss Cosette is inside, and you need to choose next."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaolong paused and looked up at the door of the house.Pushing open the door, Cosette was surprised when she saw her entering the house, she drew out her rapier and stared at Lin Xiaolong vigilantly.

"How will you be here?"

Cosette pointed her sword at Lin Xiaolong with no expression on her face.

Seeing Cosette like this, Lin Xiaolong was a little silent for a while.

But soon, Lin Xiaolong asked dully:

"Cosette, why did you do that? Can't you just let those innocent people go?"

Hearing this, Cosette was very surprised, and then said coldly:
"It seems that you already know, so what are you going to do?"

"It depends on your choice."

Lin Xiaolong looked at Cosette expressionlessly, and if he wanted to kill her, he might hesitate a bit.

But Lin Xiaolong knew very well that he could not hesitate!

Cosette on the opposite side looked at Lin Xiaolong silently, and she could tell that Lin Xiaolong was not lying.She didn't have the strength to resist Lin Xiaolong, so she just kept silent.

After a long time, Cosette sighed, put away her rapier and looked at Lin Xiaolong and said:
"I understand."

Cosette sat down with some emotion, poured herself a glass of water and drank it.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaolong felt a little strange Cosette, did she understand?Obviously, the change was too fast, which made Lin Xiaolong feel puzzled and went to sit next to Cosette.

Seeing this, Cosette poured a glass of white water for Lin Xiaolong, put it in front of his face and looked at him expressionlessly.

Lin Xiaolong looked at the white water in front of him and felt sad when he thought about Cosette:

"Cosette, why can't you choose another course?"

"What are you asking me for? Justice? I don't have that kind of thing."

Cosette looked at Lin Xiaolong sarcastically, as if mocking the justice in Lin Xiaolong's heart.

But there is no justice in Lin Xiaolong's heart. If Lin Xiaolong is righteous, it will definitely not be what it is now.

Lin Xiaolong picked up the cup melancholy, looked at the white water in his hand and said with a sigh:

"Justice? Sorry, I don't have justice in my heart. I just want to know why you are doing this?"

Looking at the white water in his hand, Lin Xiaolong asked with a sigh.

There is no right or wrong in Cosette's affairs, only things to do or not to do.

However, Cosette stared coldly at the water glass in Lin Xiaolong's hand, and said indifferently:

"I'm just here to survive."

Cosette answered like this, but Lin Xiaolong was speechless.

He drank the white water in his hand in one gulp, and sat down on the chair with a sigh.When Cosette saw this scene, a subtle look flashed in her eyes.

She stared at Lin Xiaolong as if waiting for something.

While waiting, she picked up her water glass and drank it in one gulp.

Soon, Cosette felt unwell.A mouthful of blood spat out, and the tabletop was stained red by the blood she spit out.

At this moment, she stared at Lin Xiaolong beside her with wide eyes, and said tremblingly:

"why?"

Seeing Cosette's puzzled question, Lin Xiaolong said dully:
"I swapped my water with yours from the beginning, and it was nothing. If you hadn't poisoned everything, everything would have been fine, but if you poisoned...you were poisoned."

Lin Xiaolong was very melancholy, he didn't know that Cosette would be poisoned, it was just a possibility.

As a test, Lin Xiaolong switched the water glasses of the two at a speed invisible to the naked eye. If there is nothing, everything will be fine. If there is...

Cosette will be poisoned by herself.

The current situation is already obvious, Lin Xiaolong chose to remain silent.

Lin Xiaolong stared at the painful Cosette in front of him, and remained silent.

However, Cosette looked at Lin Xiaolong tremblingly, and screamed tremblingly:
"I... just want to live! I just want to live, I want to have a complete family, I want a happy family! Why!"

why why why why?
Cosette asked silently, staring at Lin Xiaolong in front of her.

Finally, with trembling hands, he grabbed Lin Xiaolong's cheek and growled in hatred:
"I just want to live! What did I do wrong!! Tell me what I did wrong!!"

What did Cosette do wrong?
No!

Cosette did nothing wrong, only badly.There is nothing wrong with what everyone does to survive, it is just good or bad.

Her consciousness gradually dissipated under the attack of poison, and at the last moment, she grabbed Lin Xiaolong's clothes and leaned against his arms, showing a miserable smile, full of vicissitudes and ridiculousness.

At the last moment, Cosette felt an unusual sense of relief.

She said tremblingly:

"If the person who confessed to me from the beginning was an idiot like you...how good would it be?"

Pfft!
As soon as the words fell, Cosette fell from the chair and hit the floor with a heavy crash.

The plopping sound was like a heavy hammer waking up the silent Lin Xiaolong, and he stared at Cosette who fell to the ground.He didn't know how to... stared blankly at Cosette.

After a long silence, Lin Xiaolong picked up Cosette.

Holding him in his arms, he walked out of the house. The old man outside the door saw Lin Xiaolong coming out, saw Cosette in his arms, and asked respectfully:

"Do you need help erecting a monument?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaolong shook his head and said seriously:
"No, Cosette doesn't need to erect a monument. All she needs is a simple, ordinary place. This may be her wish. Although she does not have a complete family and a happy life, I I hope she can have an ordinary ending, which is what she has always longed for..."

At least in the end, Cosette can be peaceful in an ordinary way.

Three days later, Lin Xiaolong took Cosette back to her former hometown.

Although the current city has become a dead city, looking at the familiar streets and dead atmosphere.

Lin Xiaolong buried Cosette in the cemetery agreed upon by the two at the beginning. There was no monument, but a grave that couldn't be simpler.

Just erected a small flower in front of the grave.

After doing all this, Lin Xiaolong stood in front of the grave, looking sentimental.Sighing deeply, she watched Cosette calm down.

However, at this moment, the black-robed Grim Reaper appeared on Cosette's tomb.
