[Comprehensive terror] frighten the ghost

"Actually, you also think I'm crazy, don't you?" He leaned on the other party's lap, and Her Royal Highness's slender onion-like fingers stroked the broken hair on his forehead one after another. "When you held my hand, you deliberately avoided the burnt part of your eyes. After you held it, you realized that the world in my eyes was different from yours, so you let go again to confirm what is normal."

"Captain, how do you define normal and abnormal?" Her Royal Highness's voice was calm, as if she didn't mind his sharp questioning at all.

"If the world in my eyes is normal, then yours must be abnormal." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "No one wants to be abnormal, right?"

"You seem to be implying that being normal can only be the only and fixed answer." The other party gently held his hand, "Tell me, do I look good?"

Zhou Feng froze for a moment, feeling that his skin was hot from the place where he was held by the other party, and gradually spread to his face.To be honest, he felt that Her Royal Highness's facial features were quite beautiful, but the shape of her face and her pale and strange skin were not beautiful at all, but rather weird.However, he didn't mind the other person's appearance. At this moment, if there was someone who was willing to save him, he was already very moved.After deliberating his words, he said hesitantly, "Well...Actually..."

"I can hear what's in your heart. Needless to say, I know it all." The other party let go of his hand.

"Cough, I don't...in fact, I don't think..." When he thought of his evaluation of the other party as weird in his heart just now, he immediately became anxious, for fear that the other party would leave him because of this, but after a long time, he couldn't find a suitable one. words to explain.

Compared with inner insight, language is so feeble.

"I just want to say, no matter what, I don't care about your appearance." He held those slender hands in his palms and said in the most sincere tone.

"I understand. It's just that since you can tolerate my peculiarities, why do you think I can't tolerate yours?"

Every word of the other party seemed to knock on his heart, making his heart tremble, but he was speechless.

"Even among the elves, I am a unique individual. In my long life, I have almost never seen anyone with the same abilities as me." Her Royal Highness looked into his eyes tenderly. "I don't think I'm crazy, or I'm abnormal, I think it's a blessing, to be able to see what other people can't see, hear what other people can't hear, feel what other people can't feel. It makes me Be different and irreplaceable.”

"But you can at least confirm that what you feel is true." He murmured in a low voice, "but mine was confirmed to be false."

"You're just different from them. Even Sandro and my brother don't think what you see is fake."

Zhou Feng carefully recalled the scene at that time.His Royal Highness shares the senses with the princess, and knows what the world looks like in his eyes, and Sandro's expression that makes him want to think about it is not so much that he thinks he is abnormal, but rather that he is curious about why this happens. difference, and how bizarre that difference can be.

Although the attitude of using him as a guinea pig is also very unpleasant, but in the end, it's not as bad as he thought.

"But it's impossible for my hand to be both burnt and unburned, right?" He held his hand up in front of his eyes to observe, until now the skin on his hand was still intact, without any trace of burn. "It doesn't make sense logically."

"I'm curious, what does Mr. Berks look like in the eyes of the captain?" The other party suddenly changed the subject.

"Ah? Why did you suddenly think of asking this?" He scratched his hair, "White hair and blue eyes, tall and strong, as if exuding a golden halo, with a perfect appearance, um, you should understand Bar?"

"In my eyes, he is not like this." Her Royal Highness frowned slightly, as if unwilling to recall, "He has golden eyes similar to ours, black pupils, and hair color closer to platinum. A little yellowing at the end. Aside from the lines on his face that don't represent royal blood, he's pretty much an elf. My brother's eyes are another thing, he can see through the cold and dangerous death around Berkes The breath is like a black mist."

Zhou Feng was dumbfounded, "Why, how could this happen?"

He thought of the photo saved in his cell phone, and thought of the hair tie that Sandro bought for him.

Does everyone see Berks differently?

"According to your logic, it's impossible for him to grow up like this and grow up like that? If according to your definition of crazy or not, only one of us is sober, or even none of us." Her expression was amused, and Her Royal Highness laughed mischievously. "That's not the case. This kind of situation is very common in mythical creatures. There is a layer of mysterious substance called veil on their body surface, which can make their appearance look different to different people. Although it can be used optically The instrument can see through their real bodies, but it also proves that there are indeed differences when our senses reflect the world. This has nothing to do with the mind, but a common individual difference."

"I've been with him for so long, I never knew that." He still hadn't recovered from his surprise, "So, uh..."

He always thought that Berks transformed into the appearance of golden pupils after he became the god of death. Now, it seems that the other party has never changed, and it is only the difference between whether the disguise is removed or not.

"Why did he do this?" He felt very puzzled. Although Berkes had never been honest with them, with the strength of the other party, this kind of deception was meaningless. "Why are you lying to us?"

"It's not deception, it's innate. Just like chameleons, their scales are always changing with the environment. It's not intentional, but an instinct." Her Royal Highness giggled, "As for angels, they He always becomes the most beautiful in the eyes of others. So in the eyes of the elves, he is an elf, and in the eyes of humans, he is a human. In fact, it is quite sad."

"Isn't that good?" At least he was quite envious of this ability. Think about it, with a face that everyone likes, no matter who you come into contact with, the other party will have a preconceived positive impression.If it is placed in modern society, how popular is this?

"If someone loves my face, but only loves the reflection of the beauty in his eyes, and can't see my real face, I will be very sad." Her Royal Highness pursed her lips, "I would rather have an ordinary appearance than be with you." People who really love each other are honest and honest."

If it is said that the appearance of the Grim Reaper is the true face of Berkes, then what Sandro sees in his eyes is not the true face of his mentor.

He felt as if something was touched in his heart, but he couldn't describe the feeling.

"Most people still like to pretend. They flatter me on the surface, but they actually stay away from me. They are afraid of me, my touch, my ability to read people's hearts, and their disguise will disappear in front of me. They think What I am afraid of is being seen by others as my true self, but I don’t know that it is they who reject them.” Her Royal Highness kissed him lightly on the forehead, “Captain, you are a special person, we are all, we all have unique things. , Irreplaceable, that’s why we live in this world. God created us to enrich His world, everyone has their own unique value, that’s why this world is so beautiful.”

"Every color, every branch and leaf exists for our joy." He thought of Calvin's words again.

"If you understand this, then you should know that your loneliness comes from your rejection of yourself. You are forcing yourself to change who you are, and you can't do it, which makes you feel frustrated. You put this frustration Mistaking other people’s rejection of you and turning your anger on them, when in reality, your anger is only directed at yourself. That’s why it hurts you so much.” The other began to tease his hair again. Silk, "This attempt is bound to be futile, because those who can accept you have already accepted your essence. The only person who can free you from this self-torture is yourself. From this point of view, Each of us is alone. Because the most important battle in life, we have to face alone, that is, you have to learn to love yourself and accept yourself, so that you can feel the love and kindness of others .Only at this point, no one else can help you."

After thinking for a while, he asked in confusion, "Why are you telling me this? You should know that I won't accept it. No matter how reasonable you are logically, I can't accept it emotionally."

"Because I know you, both what you know and what you don't know." The other party laughed, "All I can do is plant a seed for you. I know that deep in your heart, there is a The right soil allows it to grow. Not today, not tomorrow, but someday."

"You, um...do you love me?" He asked innocently.If it weren't for love, he didn't know why a person should have such tender and firm belief in another person.

"I have been attracted to many men." Her Royal Highness looked complicated. "After all, I have such a long lifespan. But in the end I found that there is no place in my heart to accept them. They gave me passion, but they cannot accompany me." In the end. Because that position has been permanently taken by another person."

"Your brother." He didn't need to think about the answer.

"In this world, no one understands me better than him, not even someone who has the same ability as me. No one needs me more than him, just as I need him. We should be one person, but we were torn apart Became two. He was my love and passion, my courage and conviction, and I was his pity and tenderness, the valve that controlled his reason. We were like one person with two personalities, separate In two bodies. My father tried to separate us and make us two separate spiritual entities, but that was impossible, I was him and he was me."

"Don't say that." Zhou Feng shuddered, as long as he imagined that it was not the princess but the prince who comforted him at the moment, he would feel bad all over. "And I don't see that he seems to be in love at all."

Especially when he can't forget to take my life, he added silently in his heart.

"My brother will act aggressively, but his actions, whether they are cruel or gentle, are more out of love than hatred." Her Royal Highness sighed wearily. "He is an outlier among us elves. Compared with elves, he is actually closer to humans. What we elves advocate is to follow nature. The so-called nature is like spring, summer, autumn and winter. If there is a midsummer, there must be a severe winter. A civilization has prosperity. There will be death, this is the way of nature. But my brother refuses to accept this. It was us elves who once dominated the earth. After the rise of human beings, our civilization declined. If I did not kill myself, then in my lifetime, I and see the end of it."

"Among all the elves, only my brother stood up to save us from perishing. According to the ancient treaty, the forest belongs to us, and the city belongs to you. When you cut down the forest and build the city, to my brother, it is Invasion of our lands. He wants to lead an army to repel you, but no one supports him. It is our fate to perish, and most of the elves accept it. His march on the human world has been thwarted, but he will not yield. , and wanted to continue fighting, I had no choice but to end my life to end his journey."

"You shouldn't have done that." Only then did he know the reason for the death of the brother and sister, and he also understood the anger of the prince when he was just resurrected. "He's a hero, even though he's misunderstood, and even though I'm human, from my standpoint, he should be a villain."

"If you want to be a hero, faith alone is not enough." The princess shook her head sadly, "He is doomed to fail, just like other people who try to stop the wheel of history with their own body. He can't realize his wish, only It will cause unnecessary casualties. In his heart, he also knows this reality, but he refuses to give up his beliefs, his responsibilities, and his mission."

Zhou Feng was silent, he was destined to be unable to understand the brain circuits of these elves.

"Anyway, I know why he is so hostile to me." He shrugged. If it were him, he would not easily let go of those who took his things, provided that he had the ability not to let go. "Should I be glad that he still endured and didn't kill me?"

"He just doesn't like you, not to mention hostility." Her Royal Highness said helplessly, "He doesn't like all humans, but he won't drive them to extinction because of this. The expansion of humans is not only a threat to elves, many creatures have lost their lives. their own habitat, or be hunted to extinction by humans. I have lost count of how many species of life on earth have disappeared forever during the rise of human beings. This world was once colorful, there are So many species co-existing in harmony, and now it's becoming more and more monotonous and paler until it loses all color. That's what my brother wants to stop, he doesn't want to wipe out humans, he wants The world is back to how it was before."

"That's...impossible." Zhou Feng could only answer like this.Not to mention that time cannot be turned back, and extinct species cannot be resurrected, so what if human beings are contained?For the diversity of species, His Royal Highness will definitely not exterminate human beings, but with the resilience and tenacity of human beings, sooner or later they will occupy the earth again.

If God created all kinds of creatures to enrich the world, then man must have been created to destroy it.

For some reason, the thought suddenly occurred to him.

Speaking of species diversity, he remembered that when they were threatened, Berkes said that he would save his life for the sake of species diversity in the team.At that time, this reason sounded extremely ridiculous to him, as if it was just a perfunctory statement, but now he felt that the weight of these words was heavy.

What if what the other party said is true?

What if the few people in the team who wanted to kill themselves were allowed to live until now because they wanted to protect the rare species of human beings?

What if he lived on beliefs that humans despise?

He was born in the heyday of human beings. Before entering the reincarnation space, he never thought that he would need to rely on the diversity of species to survive.

As a matter of course, he believes that human beings are the strongest species and do not need to rely on the mercy of other species to survive.

Now, that confidence is gone.

Perhaps in this universe, human beings are the only kind of ungrateful creature. When human beings were few in number and weak in power, there was never another creature trying to wipe out human beings.But when human beings become stronger, they destroy other species with impunity.

If one day human beings become weak again, are they qualified to beg for the mercy of powerful species?

In the past, Zhou Feng would only think that it is ridiculous for the strong to let go of the weak for such a weird reason as species diversity. He threatened to kill it while it was still young, otherwise it would be a lot of trouble when it grows up.

And now, when his life was hanging by a thread, he didn't find it funny at all.

One day when those strong people also find this kind of thinking ridiculous, he will not be far from death.

"Captain, you don't look well." The princess looked at him worriedly.

"I just suddenly realized that your brother is actually quite cute." He smiled weakly, "This thought almost killed me."

"He's not that bad." Her Royal Highness stood up, "I'm going back, you know where we are, if you figure it out, come back."

The other party kissed him on the cheek and left.

Sitting alone in the dark, Zhou Feng dared to say that if he returned to the camp now, he would be killed by His Highness the Prince.

Although it is impossible to conquer the princess.

At this time, he was a little envious of the pair of brothers and sisters, and he would never feel lonely at any time.

Some things, he has to face alone after all.

Such as the pair of eyes that appear in the dark now.

They were just there, staring at him with good intentions, Zhou Feng couldn't convince himself that it was just an illusion, but he didn't know what they were going to do.

"A Fei, what should I do?" He asked his phone.

"There is a beautiful woman throwing herself into her arms, if you don't hurry up, are you a man?" The other party replied half-jokingly.

"I'm not talking about this." He sat cross-legged on the ground, holding his head, "I mean, if you are surrounded by darkness, and there are many eyes staring at you in the darkness, you don't know whether it is an illusion or what, you should what to do?"

The phone was silent for a while before he said, "Captain, I just want to send you a message, 'In the eternal mansion, R'lyeh, the sleeping Cthulhu awaits you in your dreams'."

He decisively dropped the unreliable phone.
