Chapter 199 The Fall of Gowell (2)
The young man followed the guidance of the buzzing in his head and stepped onto the street, heading towards another buzzing sound closest to him that seemed to have the same frequency and rhyme.
Sebastian was walking on a street that he had walked thousands of times before. He knew every brick and stone on the street by heart, but at this moment, in the new reality, everything looked different. With the colorful colors, everything that was once familiar and boring becomes strange and novel.
The boy felt as if he had entered the town of Ilkesmouth for the first time. The abandoned houses that he had only regarded as a playground when he was a child actually still had traces of the original owners. These traces did not refer to those doors. The horizontal scratches along the edge to measure the height do not refer to the gradually falling off decoration style in the house... but to some more direct and subtle traces.
These traces cannot be captured with the five senses, but come more from the sudden inspiration inside the head.
For example, Sebastian passed by an abandoned courtyard that had been abandoned for many years. The fence boards in the courtyard were rotten, moldy, and black. The courtyard was full of withered weeds. The dying old trees struggled to compete with the withered grass for what was left of the land. With a trace of nutrients, the dry and decaying tree body extended half-broken thick branches, as if it was reaching out to retain the owner of the house who had left ruthlessly.
But at this moment, a picture suddenly appeared in the young man's mind. His eyes seemed to have traveled back to more than ten years ago in a trance. He saw the still green courtyard, with all kinds of flowers blooming brightly. The male host and the hostess were in full bloom. Sitting in the courtyard enjoying afternoon tea, their eyes were focused on the boy swinging on the swing under the tree, his eyes full of tenderness and love.
The little boy didn't notice the caring eyes of his parents. He was just swinging his legs excitedly to swing the swing high, laughing happily, swinging higher and faster... and then the branches tied with the swing ropes appeared. It broke with a click, and the little boy fell to the ground and immediately began to cry loudly.
The host and hostess immediately put down their teacups and ran over. The hostess buried the little boy's head in her chest and comforted her softly. The male host told jokes to ease his grief. The boy's tears soon stopped. Under the mother's comfort and father's teasing, the smile bloomed again.
The clear, childlike laughter formed a perfect match with the clear sunshine at that time, filling the courtyard that was abandoned not long ago with a joyful and harmonious atmosphere.
Sebastian stopped and looked at the abandoned courtyard, staring at the picture in his mind, and suddenly felt that his eyes seemed a little moist... He had not seen his biological parents since he was born, although the town Everyone in the family treated him as kindly as their own son, but the boy actually longed to see his parents in his heart. When he was hurt, he could cry in his mother's arms and receive encouragement and encouragement from his father.
Since he awakened to his true self, he has become increasingly unable to hide things in his heart. At this moment, there is only a trace of sadness and longing in his heart, and the tears immediately emerge from around his eyes. It seems that even his body is teaching him No need to suppress your inner feelings, just show your raw, unadorned self!
Under such a strange agitation, Sebastian almost couldn't restrain his desire to give up his disguise and reveal himself. He tore into pieces the clothes that had lost their only ability to protect him from the cold due to his strong physique, letting the strong and powerful jagged mouth The pliers once again pierced the flesh and blood, revealing a ferocious face, and the dark facets were also ready to jump out.
But the words of warning from Brother John the day before yesterday echoed in the boy's head.
"Little Sebastian, you must learn to restrain those idiosyncratic impulses and suppress the thoughts that are revealed. This does not mean that you suppress your own nature, but that you conquer your own nature... I know that in your bones Yearning for freedom, but so-called unfettered freedom, if divorced from objective laws, will ultimately lead to chaos and destruction. "
"Suppressing yourself briefly is just a temporary incubation, which can enable you to pass through the weak stage safely... until the day you truly break out of the cocoon, true freedom will actively embrace you."
Obviously Brother John's tone and expression at that time were very calm and gentle, but Sebastian seemed to be able to see the deep and rich sea of blood and mountains of corpses from Brother John's eyes... He felt that Brother John seemed to have experienced it too He went through a stage like his own and paid a heavy price.
When the young man heard these words, he felt that his muscles and bones were trembling uncontrollably again, just like the strange throbbing when he met Brother John for the first time, but this time it was not only because of the blood-connected Familiar and thrilling, mixed with a hint of fear and trembling.
He could clearly sense the warning meaning when Brother John said these words. It was a natural fear that he could not resist, just like a naughty child who only needs to hear his full name when facing the scolding of his stern father. Then you can't help but straighten your waist and stand up straight!
"This description seems inappropriate... I have clearly never met my biological father, so why do I feel that when I face Brother John, I feel like I am facing my own father?"
Sebastian couldn't figure out the answer to this question until he came to Uncle Nack's door.
He stood in the courtyard with all kinds of wood scattered around. He felt that the layout of these things seemed to be exactly the same as when he came a few days ago. Even the broken ax was still in its original position, as if Uncle Nack had spent the past three days. I have never engaged in any carpentry activities, and have always stayed in the house and slept.
"but……"
Sebastian felt the familiar and wild buzzing sound in the house, and the familiar feeling of blood connection seemed to arise in his heart again. He couldn't help but wonder, could Uncle Nack have awakened to his true self like me? !
With this thought in mind, he pinched his throat with his fingertips and made a very low-frequency clicking sound, which was transmitted towards the house.
The sound of something falling to the ground was immediately heard in the originally quiet room. The next second, the closed door panel made a loud bang and was violently pushed open from the inside out. Uncle Nack burst out of the door. The eyes are black and bulging, showing densely packed polygonal facets like insects!
Uncle Nack has indeed awakened! ! !
Sebastian looked at the ferocious-looking Uncle Nack, feeling no fear at all, and even a hint of ecstasy. He waved excitedly and sent out friendly greetings in a low-frequency language that only they could understand.
"Uncle Nack! I didn't expect you to also——"
However, Uncle Nack, who had ferocious protrusions on his body like the veins of a black snake, ignored the young man's words at all. His dark eyes were full of madness and senseless colors, and his ferocious fangs and mouthparts were making no sound. While roaring, he bent forward like a bull's horns and stuffed them into his mouth. He suddenly sank to his knees and stepped on the ground, launching a fierce charge towards Sebastian!
A hoarse and harsh growl crawled in the young man's throat, and his fangs, sharp claws, and black pupils emerged, and he roared and charged forward!
