Abandoned Lover [Future]

A blank mind is repainted with the colors of reality.The color of Eugene's pupils became more radiant with the return of reason, and the soreness in the muscles and the pain in the right arm also became very vivid at the same time.The scimitar that was held flat fell back to the side of the body, and the blood overflowing from the wound overflowed the wrist bone and fell to the ground, it was a warm and sticky piece.

"...the white wolf."

This was Igor's code name, but there was no nostalgic warmth in Eugene's tone.The white-haired man smiled at him: "It's been a long time since anyone called me that."

The other party's peaceful smile is extremely ironic in the current scene.Because the tiger's mouth was holding the knife for too long, the soreness and pain came up along the nerve tendrils, which made Eugene extremely agitated.

"Why?" he asked.

——Why are you here?Why do you dress up like this?Why, you have to stop me specifically?

Igor's iris is blood red, which compared with his lack of pigment body, has a very ominous meaning.However, his eyes were so calm at this moment, he was looking at Eugene nostalgicly, and said in a deep voice: "...you killed many of my soldiers."

"Monster." Eugene corrected him.

"Just like me." Igor narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sharp fangs protruded from his lips: "You alone can't kill everyone."

Eugene took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and fell into a brief silence.After ten seconds, he opened his eyes again.

"...you combined a sample of the heritage with your abilities."

This is his conclusion, not speculation.

——As early as nearly ten years ago, Igor was forced to make a wish when the gatekeeper was serving because of his serious illness.After making a wish, his symptoms were fixed, because the ability he obtained was to become an undead who feeds on human blood.

He obtained strength from human blood, even if his body was pale and thin, it was still difficult to hurt him.It's just that his ability has also become a price. He lost the human's perception of temperature and taste, but gained the bloodthirsty impulse and weird sense of sound. murmuring in the ear.

It was only later that Igor realized that he, like the legendary vampire, had the ability similar to the first embrace.Human beings transformed by him can communicate with him and his "brothers" within a certain range, and he and his victims have truly become a herd of beasts.

... Eugene finally understood why this group of monsters could communicate with each other without relying on equipment, but more doubts piled up in his heart, which was quickly turning into the urge for him to stab Igor in the chest.As if seeing through Eugene's thoughts, Igor said, "It's too late, Palmer."

Eugene looked at him.

Igor suddenly raised his head towards the sky, and a silent signal seemed to be broadcast from his wide open and twisted mouth.At the same time, phantom-like monsters flashed to his side one by one.

In the instant formation of layers of encircling circles, Igor and Eugene were at the center.The white-haired man closed his chin and said to Eugene, "I have something to tell you, Palmer. Then you will know that what you are doing now is meaningless."

"Aren't you going to kill me?" Eugene slowly wiped the blood from the blade of the scimitar on the fabric of the hip bone.

"Not now." Igor's expression was like a sigh: "You deserve to know the truth before you die."

……

hiss.

Igor sat in front of Eugene and lit a cigar.After making a wish, it was the only old addiction he kept.The tongue coating that has lost the sense of taste cannot feel the bitter taste of the tobacco leaves. The man swallows the smoke deeply into his lungs, and then pushes it out from the nasal cavity.The pungent smell brought him some slight, as if he was still human illusion.

"...Do you want to smoke?" The white-haired man turned the cigarette holder between his fingers, and handed it to Eugene, who was firmly tied to the torture chair.A rare expression of disgust appeared on Eugene's face, and he shrank his neck back.

"I forgot that you don't smoke." Igor still smiled: "Why did you appear here? Knowles sent you as a striker?"

"I'm retired." The last time Igor met him was nearly eight years ago, and Eugene coldly understood his long-dated cognition.

"...So you were involved unintentionally." Igor's expression was a little surprised, and then he shook his head with more emotion: "When did it happen?"

"Seven years ago."

"why?"

"Number 6 is dead. Most of the people are dead." Eugene answered him without any ups and downs.

Igor raised his eyebrows, and then made a sudden question: "Seven years ago...were you on the mission to recover the blood of malice?"

Eugene didn't answer, but Igor got the answer from his expression.

"It was the explosion, right?"

"...What exactly do you want to say?" It has been more than an hour since he was taken away by Igor, and Eugene couldn't help but worry that Xiao would do something impulsive during his disappearance—if Xiao The identity of the inheritance is exposed in front of Igor's eyes, and that will be the worst unfolding.Anxiety mixed with wanting to know the inside story of the past, he no longer knew whether he wanted to leave or stay.

"No one has explained to you what kind of mission you are doing, right?" Igor looked at him patiently, and took another puff on his cigar: "After all, the gatekeepers are just a bunch of clueless dogs under that stupid woman."

"The most difficult training, the worst casualty rate, and a group of victims who were kept in the dark without knowing it." On Igor's blood-red iris, the thick black pupil seemed to absorb all the light: " ...Dieff's body modification program has been going on for almost 15 years, and the gatekeepers still don't know anything about it."

Eugene looked back at him: "The gatekeeper has the right to supervise all the research of the pioneers."

Igor shrugged slightly.

"On the surface it looks like this. Collaborate to find out the core of the 'heritage' and investigate the truth about the disappearance of the last civilization - but Ziev has long stopped following this logic, Palmer." The white-haired man put down With a hand holding a cigar: "He wants the inheritance to be used by him, and help him break the balance between the Alliance and Sagrand."

"Everyone knows that he wants to go to war with Sagrand." Eugene frowned, staring intently at Igor: "But Sagrand has 'annihilation'."

... The legacy named this has the same nature as the name. It is said that it can easily devour and destroy an entire galaxy, but no one dares to really test its power.

Sagrand, who has the strongest weapon "Annihilation", and the alliance Verdorn, who has the strongest defense "net".The reason why war cannot be provoked is because neither government/government can afford the possibility of its own failure.As long as one party's legacy is defeated, the other party's military force will come out and devour the other party's territory.

There is no curse of sickness in the land of Veldorn, but the land of Sageron is full of precious energy.The two regimes face each other across a thin asteroid belt, and the idea of ​​occupying each other has been going on for hundreds of years.Tiev is not No.1 in the league with such ambitions, but there are always some unsuccessful attempts in the past.

As if reading the disapproval from Eugene's expression, Igor extinguished the cigar that was only a third lit on the metal table.

"I've never followed his logic either. But he did start developing 'super soldiers' more than a decade ago."

The white-haired man continued to explain.

... Long before "Blood of Malice", Tiev joined hands with Sisong, who was in charge of proving the legacy, and secretly controlled the legacy that might serve his purpose.Therefore, many of the inheritances that the gatekeepers finally handled were actually useless garbage after the investigation and experiments of the pioneers and front sights.

Malevolent Blood is an exception.

Before being recovered by Eugene and the others, the blood of malice had been kept in Ziev's hands for a full year.This is the closest thing to Diev's canon - if the final mortal curse of this legacy can be undone, the forces of the Alliance will directly gain strength beyond the limits of humanity.This may not immediately break the balance between Annihilation and Web, but it is their first ray of hope.

It was only in the middle of their experiment that the female general became aware of the collusion between Tiev and Sisong.It was under such circumstances that Igor and Anika were sent to investigate, and they also found evidence that they violated the treaty of the three generals.

"But what's the use?" Igor sighed. "It's all a futile effort."

The two of them were arrested before they escaped from the laboratory, Anika was exiled after being washed out of memory, and he himself was imprisoned in a secret laboratory by Tiev, becoming one of the experimental samples of the pioneers' secret legacy one.It was also there that Igor saw many bodies of the so-called "dead" gatekeepers immersed in the petri dishes.

"In fact, it wasn't Legacy that killed the gatekeepers, but their colleagues." Igor seemed to recall a bad memory, and closed his eyes briefly: "...I was very angry at that time, Palmer. But I haven't given up yet."

So he waited patiently, and took advantage of the gap between the negligence of the staff on duty to pass the "malicious blood" experiment report from the secret laboratory to the female general's private channel.Such an operation seemed to work at first sight - the Harbinger was forced to share the existence of the "Malevolent Blood" with the Gatekeeper, placing it under the latter's surveillance.Scarred and scarred, Igor hoped that the female general would dig out more inside information to rescue him, but the following developments completely dispelled his thoughts.

The Pioneers self-directed and staged the runaway of Malicious Blood, sacrificing their own lives.The real sample was removed long before the human experiment went wild, and that explosion was a real murder against the gatekeeper.And when Igor was most shaken, he found a familiar figure beside Tiev who came to inspect the secret inheritance.

——The captain of the female general's bodyguard, Dag.

"We followed the wrong person from the beginning, Palmer. That is the most incompetent woman. She can't protect herself or anyone else in front of Diev." The focus in Igor's eyes and Yu Kim's face was shifted a little, as if talking about an old dream full of regrets. "...we are just meaningless victims, and the world has not improved in any way because of our efforts."

"That's why you defected." Eugene's eyes were burning quietly, the raging anger of being confined.This kind of anger didn't know who was going to burn it, and in the end it burned Eugene himself severely.

"I came to Sagrand to live, Palmer, even if no one protects me, I still want to live, is this really shameful?" Igor suddenly raised the volume, and then heaved heavily in almost sudden anger. He slammed his fist on the metal table: "I also thought about hiding among ordinary people and spending the rest of my life in peace, but the alliance didn't let me go!

The violently heaving chest seemed to break through the turquoise uniform. Igor covered his face with his right hand, fell back on the back of the chair, and adjusted his breathing.

"...After I left, the alliance is also experimenting with malicious blood."

……

Tiev traded thousands of slaves from the black market. These people, together with refugees kidnapped from the border, were continuously sent to new laboratories outside the hub.Nearly two years have passed, but the pioneers have failed to find any way to eliminate the inevitable death consequences of those who consume the blood of malice.It was at that time that Tiev turned the tactical direction for the first time.

He sent a diluted and adjusted sample of the legacy to Sagrand.

"Walking doctor", "secret medicine", "means to prolong the life of people with genetic diseases" - these are the stepping stones laid by Ziev to achieve the ultimate goal.

His real purpose is to make Sageron's army drink the "blood of malice".

Sagrand's combat power potential is actually far superior to that of the Alliance; compared with the Alliance that sticks to the "integrity of mankind", they have applied [-]% brain-connected mechs early on, and have the advantage in space battles. Extremely strong maneuverability and artillery fire evasion rate.But Sageron's army is also facing a big bottleneck-they have too few healthy soldiers who can put into the mechs.Physical modification will hinder the combat performance of sergeants, and genetic diseases, large and small, are also continuously reducing the scope of their conscription.They desperately need a way to keep their existing soldiers healthy and expand their enlistment in the future.

When Igor explained this, Eugene finally found the answer that could explain all the inconsistencies before.

——The Sagrand government must have bitten on Tiev's hook, not only allowing the army to swallow the blood of inheritance, but also allowing such drugs to be promoted among the people.

"Based on the current situation, if Sagrand does not fight back, within a few months, most of the soldiers in Sagrand's army will die. The outbreak is over. Under such circumstances, for the people who have lost hope, perhaps merging with the alliance is what the people want." Igor spread his hands mockingly: "By then, neither annihilation nor net will be important anymore. That's it. That madman will really get what he wants."

A smile that wasn't large but implied madness appeared on the face of the white-haired man.

"I don't care about things like this, Palmer. I just want to live...pretend I'm human. Pretend I can..."

Igor paused, the arc of his mouth twisted stiffly.

"The happiness of ordinary people can be obtained."

...Even though he looks weird, relying on his past training, Igor can still find an official position in Sagrand's army.He would inquire about Anika's news on and off during the first two years of coming to Sagrand, but stopped doing so in the third year.

Because he has his own family.

The target was the single mother he hired to do the shopping and cleaning.The woman is not tall, with a slightly fat body and freckles on the tip of her nose.He didn't talk to her often in the beginning because he was afraid that his eyes and fangs would scare her, but the woman knocked on his door on a rainy night holding her daughter with high fever.

—Help her, sir, I have only you to help me.

He was asked for help for the first time in many years, and he took the girl and the woman to the hospital. Only the four-year-old girl had a honey complexion different from her mother, and her amber eyes were very bright.

...that was what he imagined the child with Anika would look like.

The inheritance deprived him of the ability to be a father, but God sent him a child who owed him in the dark.The woman sobbed and leaned against his shoulder. After hesitating for a long time, he put his hand on the woman's shoulder.

It has nothing to do with love and lust. In the face of difficult reality, just living with a snuggle is a kind of meager, luxury-like happiness.

"You never had a wife or daughter, Palmer. You never know what it means to lose a family."

There was a scorching light in Igor's tearless eyes.

"Especially when you've been taken from everything and finally got it again. It hurts so much more than you never had."

... In the second month after taking the counterfeit secret medicine, his daughter died in an autumn at the age of seven.His wife hanged herself on a beam in the attic of their residence in the early spring of the following year.After continuous investigation, he finally found the shadow of the alliance and legacy behind the successive misfortunes.

But by then it was too late.He handed over the message in his hand, and the Sagrand military realized the seriousness of the matter.The army had already taken the medicine, and they discovered that the alliance had even joined hands with the Sagerang rebels to infiltrate them from the inside.At this point, the only option left for Sagrand seems to be to wait for death.

Igor could not accept such a result.

So he voluntarily turned himself into an experiment again.And the curse he obtained from the wish finally allowed Sageron's military to find a way to postpone the death of the drug user.

"Even medicated soldiers can survive by sucking the blood of living people in large quantities. If this behavior is repeated, these soldiers can even withstand a full dose of 'male blood'. Do you know what that means, Pa Elmer?" Igor's voice suddenly rose, with a ferocious high-pitched feeling: "Before Tiev and the entire pioneer, I truly created a 'super soldier' ​​that far surpassed the boundaries of human beings."

"As long as there is enough bait, Sageron's soldiers will become stronger and stronger. Before Sageron collapses, these young people will wipe out all territories outside the alliance center." The white-haired man pointed with his right hand Knocked on the table with uncontrollable excitement, and finally concluded excitedly: "This is the ending that should be, Palmer, both sides will suffer, and all will perish!

Suddenly, Igor stood up abruptly, leaned out towards Eugene, grabbed his collar fiercely, and said through gritted teeth: "...so you can't stop me, Palmer. The people at today’s ceremony are mortal, but their flesh and blood will spread the flames of revenge far and wide until they burn this damned world without fairness.”

Igor's blood-red eyes fixed on Eugene's.He clenched Eugene's collar so hard that all the black and purple veins on the back of his hand exploded, and his clenched hand even trembled.After several heavy breaths, he finally let go of his hand, and then reached for a button on the metal table.

The isolation door behind Eugene opened silently, and several people dressed in white poured into the torture room.One pressed Eugene's back from behind, one opened the silver box he was carrying, and the other took out a syringe containing a dark red liquid from the box.

"You are a very kind, very soft-hearted man, Eugene."

Igor called his name for the first time.The white-haired man stood tall, with a slight gasp in his voice, and a sincere pity in his eyes.

"I know you can't bear to watch people die, so I want to give you a gift."

Before Eugene could struggle, the dark red fluid in the syringe had been pushed into the veins on the inside of his arm.

"At your level of health, this dose of 'bad blood' should kick in within five to seven days."

Igor leaned over and brushed back the hair on You's front with his hands.

"Go to a place where you can't see the flames of war for the time being, and enjoy the last scene before the world collapses. If you have family and lover, cherish the last time with them."

The white-haired man straightened up.

"...We chose the wrong path from the very beginning."

He took one last look at Eugene, and then stepped towards the door of the torture room step by step.

The author has something to say:

;w; I really like writing plot lines...

Eighty chapters have been written, and I feel very happy to start this short, I hope you will like it too.
