Gate of Apocalypse

Chapter 218 [Whatever]

Chen Xiaocao was stuck.

He obviously has some dilemmas.

The countess's emotions were too exciting, and in fact, Chen Xiaoliang could clearly feel that the young girl in front of her appeared to have some signs of being out of control.

Her emotions seem to be falling apart.

……

Emotional breakdowns would not have happened to the Countess. But today is a special day, a special moment.

Before dawn, she came to the cemetery to bid farewell to a special man. Emotions are already very sad.

Plus weigh the impact of what's happening around you.

Finally, suddenly saw Chen Xiaoliang.

It's like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Countess at the moment has really lost control.

All kinds of negative emotions, anger, panic, sadness, fear, etc. that have been suppressed in my mind for a long time have all burst out of my mind!

Looking at the Countess, Chen Xiaolei hesitated.

Say…… or not?

Miaoyan's warning seems to be still ringing in his ear: away from my exclusive number!

However, at this moment, Chen Xiaoliang seems to be moved to suffer, this countess pain!

Just because…

Are we all NPCs?

So……

Are we free to be controlled by the people of the upper world?

Though seemingly much freer than this Countess.

But... how can it be better?

Didn't you get thrown in a copy at once and struggle to survive?

And she... she's more pathetic, she can't even guarantee the lives of ordinary people.

She's just a puppet, a puppet.

It's just a body used to descend.

Because……

Everybody's an NPC!

……

“You calm down. ”

Chen Xiaocao bit his teeth and reached for the woman.

The Countess' fingers held Chen Xiaolian's wrist tightly and refused to let go. However, with Chen Xiaoliang's help, she finally stood steady.

“If you're in that mood, I can't talk to you.” Chen Xiaolian shook his head.

The Countess lifted her eyelids, and her eyes, which looked exactly like Miaoyan's, revealed anger and confusion - such forehead eyes, would never have existed.

“Can you talk to me? What can you tell me? ”

Although the Countess's performance is weak at this moment, although Chen Xiaocai is also infected by this emotion... especially the kind of empathy that NPC feels beyond its control over her own destiny...

But after all, Chen Xiaoliang is not an idiot, not an idiot.

Of course he wouldn't really say everything as soon as his brain was hot.

In addition to the relationship and covenant with Miaoyan.

More importantly, Chen Xiaocai was very clear, despite the Countess's weakness at the moment.

But she was never such a weak woman.

From our previous experience with the Countess, it is very difficult.

If you say sympathy... she is definitely not the kind of weak person who needs to be pitied.

The Countess looked at Chen Xiaocai and panted: “We've met before! Right!”

Chen Xiaolei sighed and nodded slowly.

The other side has their own sketches. There is no need to deny or deny this problem.

“Looks like you've really seen... When?” The Countess stared into Chen Xiaocai's eyes, and suddenly she whispered: “It should be just recently! Yeah, that's right! Just recently! The quality of the sketches and the pencil marks are very new and should be very recent. ”

As if she had finally calmed down, without Chen Xiaocai speaking, she herself quickly analyzed: “And... this memory fault thing is not the first time it has happened to me. But I only painted your image, which means... you are very important to me! To be precise, what I know about you and what happens is very important to me, which is why I draw your sketches to remind myself! ”

Speaking of this, the Countess sighed and stared at Chen Xiaocai. “What happened between us? ”

Chen Xiaoliang was calm and did not speak.

The Countess stared at Chen Xiaocai and suddenly her face changed: “What happened between us...”

Her eyes revealed a slight twist.

Chen Xiao Lianton thought of it and shook his head quickly: “No, it's not what you think. ”

“You have concerns! ”

The Countess easily saw Chen Xiaolei's emotions, and she slowly said, “Obviously, you know something. But now you refuse to say that you have concerns, that you have something bothering you that makes you unwilling to tell me! ”

Speaking of which, the Countess' eyes suddenly lit up!

“When you first saw me, you said... you came to visit me and just saw me go out, so you've been following me here...! So, what brings you to me? ”

Chen Xiaoliang suddenly felt that the decision to come to the Countess was a terrible one!

I was a little hasty about making my own decision about this.

“Do you believe I've never been here?” Chen Xiaocai smiled bitterly.

“What do you think?” The Countess grinned.

“Actually..." Chen Xiaocai hesitated for a moment and sighed: “Even if I told you everything, it would be useless... you would still completely forget these later. ”

“Do you mean... memory or loss?” The Countess' gaze flashed.

Chen Xiaolian sighed in his heart.

He remembered the conversation he had with Miaoyan.

Even if I told you... you'd still forget.

So... what's the point?

“But I still want to know!” The Countess bit her lip so hard, she suddenly yelled out as hard as she could: “Even if I find out and lose my memory again, I need to know! That makes sense! Even for a moment! But at least at this moment, I, I know the truth! That makes sense! For me now in this memory, the pain and confusion in my heart is the answer!! ”

She took a deep breath, trembled and grabbed Chen Xiaocai's wrist: “Please, please! Tell me!”

Looking at the Countess, Chen Xiaoliang suddenly remembered himself.

Reminds me of myself that night in the face of Miaoyan!

“Can we make an exchange? ”

Chen Xiaocai sighed.

“Tell me, what do you want from me?” The Countess closed her eyes: "I am willing to trade all my wealth!! Anything!! ”

Chen Xiaoliang frowned and looked at the woman: “Are you so determined? ”

The Countess is in shock!

She suddenly let go of Chen Xiaocai's hand, turned around and looked at the far, far away grave.

“Do you know... for whom that tomb was prepared? ”

Her voice was deeply saddened.

Chen Xiaocao did not speak.

“The man who is about to be buried there, his name is Schmidt, two years older than me, is mine...”

Chen Xiaoliang stunned and spoke out: “Your boyfriend? ”

“No… no. But...” The Countess' eyes flashed with pain: “He... he loved me very much. ”

Chen Xiaolei was silent, and after a while he whispered: “May I ask, how did this Mr. Schmidt... die? ”

“I think it's because of me!” The Countess bit her teeth and squeezed her fist so hard that her fingernails stabbed deep into her hand.

Then she started talking in a gloomy tone and voice.

……

Jane Bloomer. Norman.

This is the name of the Countess… Of course, as a descendant of a nobleman, especially the Normans, her official full name is longer. Generally speaking, that's enough.

The Countess is a typical British aristocrat.

Since childhood, she has received an aristocratic education and attended some of the best public schools in the UK, and in keeping with the tradition of aristocracy, she has attended girls' schools.

After graduating from school at the age of eighteen, she began to take over many of the family's industries. At the same time, she started going to university to study.

She had spent her entire adolescence in the girls' school before, after leaving the girls' school… naturally, her beauty aroused the enthusiasm of many of the men around her.

The first victim was named Rohit. Dawson.

Being a politician, an emerging aristocrat, his ancestors had been senior British ministers.

This is Rohit. Mr. Dawson met the Countess on a social occasion, amazed and enthusiastically pursued her.

Just leaving the girls' school, like a little bird flying out of a cage, may behave a little surprised, but also a little wary and uncomfortable, at the presence of these men around.

And this Rohit. Mr. Dawson, soon stood out and attracted the attention of the Countess.

Because he has a specialty: he is an outstanding polo master.

With a remarkable family, a good educational background, good talking, a good look, and his expertise in forehead polo skills, the Countess' greatest hobbies are catered for.

Soldier Rohit. Dawson quickly attracted the Countess's attention. They began to approach each other, and their friends, as well as the elders of their families, were also happy to see the young people who were right at the door.

Then… a tragedy happened.

Rohit. Dawson finally made a confession to the Countess one day. In fact, the Countess, who has been implicit in her heart, has deliberately said, "If you win tomorrow's polo game, I promise to be your girlfriend."

It's actually just a little girl's heart: which girl doesn't want her lover to be a hero, and then holds her hand in public in front of everyone?

But in the polo game the next day, something happened.

Before the race, the Countess intends to go to the stables and be prepared to encourage her loved ones well before the race.

Results…

She lost her memory.

When she recovers her memory, the reality is:

Before the game starts, Rohit. When Mr. Dawson was found lying in a stable, he died on his way to the hospital, allegedly due to a heart attack.

……

“My memory stops, I leave my VIP compartment to go to the stables… then the next memory is that I find myself standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom.

In the middle of it, my memories were completely blank, missing a piece.

And when I walked out of the bathroom, my housekeeper came to tell me that he was looking for me everywhere, and... the news that Rohit had been taken to the hospital. ”

The Countess said this coldly to Chen Xiaoxiao.

……

It was the Countess' first love, a tragedy.

Her first love was over before it even started.

This matter did not arouse any suspicion at the time.

Though Rohit... Dawson didn't have a history of heart disease before, but people had to accept it, though it was a bit strange. His parents and family were sad, but no one would associate them with the Countess.

Except... herself!

Only she knows that she has had brief amnesia!

Despite this brief state of amnesia and fainting, the Countess has done so before.

But she hadn't felt too deeply before -- until this time!

She began to have some doubts about herself.

……

Beautiful girls still grow up.

Though Rohit Dawson's death made people sad.

However, this beautiful young girl will still attract other men.

Beckman. Mr. Hampson is the second.

He almost succeeded.

He was a college classmate of the Countess, when a group of young people went on a group trip, and everyone went on a hot air balloon ride.

Beckman. Hampson prepared flowers and champagne in advance, wrapped a hot air balloon and prepared to invite the Countess to fly to the sky for a romantic courtship.

And the tragedy happened again.

The Countess' memory points appear to be faulty.

She remembers climbing onto that hot air balloon... in fact, she's already planning on accepting this Bickman. Mr. Hampson's pursuit. Otherwise, he wouldn't be alone in a hot air balloon.

But her memory broke again.

She remembers climbing onto a balloon, and... her next memory is: whether she was lying in a bush on the ground, seriously injured, or whether the search and rescue team rescued her.

And two kilometers away, the search team found where the hot air balloon crashed, and... Mr. Hampson's body.

What happened on the balloon and exactly how it crashed, how the Countess appeared on the ground...

She doesn't remember any of this.

After investigation, the police inferred that there was a good chance of a malfunction when the balloon rose, and then the Countess accidentally fell. At that time, the altitude should not have been quite high, so the Countess was only injured, while the man tried to land for rescue, but there was an operational malfunction, causing the balloon to fly out of the distance and crash. The man also died as a result.

This is the conclusion of the police.

But... this time, the Countess is not just losing her heart's sorrow.

And… surrounding suspicion!

The last time Rohit died, she was not found at the scene of the incident, and no one seemed to associate herself with it.

But this time, it's just the two of them on the balloon! One of them died and the other survivor claimed to have lost his memory.

At least that's what makes Beckman... Hampson's family can't accept it.

The Countess began to be thrown into the water and viewed in a colourful way.

Some suspect she's a murderer, others suspect she's a cursed miserable person.

In short, that experience directly caused the Countess to drop out of college - she could not stand the strange sight and skepticism of those around her.

And her inner pain and sorrow and fear were not spoken of.

……

Schmidt, who is about to be buried today, is the third.

After two previous tragic encounters, the Countess began to receive psychotherapy and counselling.

At the same time, she closed her heart and she was afraid and unwilling to accept any more male pursuits.

She thinks she's a bad person!

Schmidt did not believe in evil.

Schmidt is a high-profile medical student who is a psychiatrist at the Countess.

Once, when the Countess went to see her psychiatrist, she met Schmidt at the hospital.

Normally, Schmidt seemed to love this beautiful woman, who was stunningly beautiful but fragile.

He immediately pursued with enthusiasm.

This time, the Countess closed her heart and was reluctant to open it easily to men. She repeatedly rejected the enthusiastic Schmidt.

But this young doctor is very obsessed!

……

“I have rejected him many times, but he has never been discouraged. He always cared about me. I gradually let go of my resistance to him. But I still refuse to accept his pursuit. I always felt like twice before, I was the one who killed them. I am an unfortunate man. Whose courtship I promised, that man would be cursed to death!

So I've been reluctant to accept Schmidt.

Gradually, he and I became friends. Finally, one day, I told him about my inner fear.

He didn't believe it at all, he thought I was just a psychological shadow, he was an excellent doctor, he tried to psychologically guide me, he vowed to cure my mental illness. ”

Speaking of which, the Countess looked bitter: "But… I am not ill at all. I know, I'm not sick! Those lost memories must be important things I remember! But these memories disappeared! ”

“How did he die?” Chen Xiaolei's face was thick and gently sighed.

“Car crash.” There was tears in the corner of the Countess's eyes: “One day, he invited me to dinner. I had no doubt, so I said yes. But when he got in his car, he drove straight out of the city towards the far suburbs. I asked him, he said it was a surprise for me, to take me to picnic camping.

I was so scared! As if I was in the middle of something, I had a feeling something bad might happen.

So I refused as hard as I could in the car, and I made a loud noise and asked him to turn back immediately.

He was very frustrated and disappointed, and I remember the last thing he said to me: Jane, do you really want to make yourself suffer for the rest of your life because of what might not be a real phantom shadow?

Well, that may not be the last thing he really said to me, but...

As I remember, that's the last thing he said. ”

“Have you... lost your memory again?” Chen Xiaolian frowned.

“Yes, I lost my memory again!” The Countess slowly said, her voice smelled slightly crazy: “I woke up in the hospital. The doctor and the police told me that we had an accident and the car went out of control and hit the mountain!

They repeatedly looked at the scene and the accident investigation drew such a conclusion. No abnormal condition was found during the site survey. The investigation of the accident car was that the braking system had failed.

I'm hurt, in the hospital.

And Schmidt... he has been unconscious, that is... a vegetable man! ”

speechless!

“Schmidt's family was very sad, and more importantly, they didn't know where they heard a lot about me, they knew my first two pursuers were dead! So... the title ‘Cursed’ was stuck in my head.

Schmidt spent several months in the hospital, and his family refused to visit me, and they even applied for a restraining order prohibiting me from approaching their son.

They hate me!

I remember in the hospital, they growled at me, screamed at me, cursed me...

I don't hate them.

But their lack of words only makes me hate myself even more!

I hate my own evil!!

I hate my own helplessness!!

Until he finally died, I was refused his funeral!

Today, in a few hours, the funeral will take place here, and I can only come here before dawn, while no one else has come, standing in front of his grave, expressing my sorrow and remembrance. ”

……

Chen Xiaoliang stunned.

He had no idea that the experience of the Countess would be so tragic.

Before that meeting, Chen Xiaoliang just felt this woman's ingenuity, calmness, and the gloomy aura revealed in her body.

Didn't expect that she'd been through so many tragic things.

Imagine a woman dying in the face of her heart three times in a row… and because of something strange that happened to her.

I'm afraid anyone will go crazy! And get dark!!

……

“So, you ask me, even if you tell me, I'm likely to lose my memory…” The Countess suddenly laughed and her eyes flashed like crazy: “Then I tell you! I have to know the answer!

I must know!!

I must know what the hell is going on!!

This thing fills me with hatred! Inside is madness!!

Yes! I must know the answer!!

Even so, I'd give anything for it! I will do anything! I would do anything!!

Yes, I want answers!

I want to know what happened to me! What exactly is it that makes me suffer such a curse and fate!!

Who the hell are they, what power... killed them!!

In order to know these... I... will do whatever it takes! ”

This young and beautiful girl, her fingertips pierced her palms and blood drained!

She chewed her lips hard and the blood flowed!

With blood on the corner of her mouth, she repeated her last words:

“No! Pity! All of it! ”
