Fidelite, the underground headquarters of Night Blade.
After nodding and saying hello to the hurried and cold-faced killers along the way, and explaining his purpose to the person in charge, Sacco walked into the empty lounge and waited for his uncle.
It has been a few days since he returned from the Black Rose Mage Academy. Sitting on the back of a cold marble chair, the now grown-up boy Sacco often thinks about the days of imprisonment in the past. He has not seen his mother for a long time, and his mother's appearance has become somewhat... Mo Lake, but the seasonal movement in my heart has never weakened by half, but has become more intense, like magma ready to erupt.
It was here that he smelled the woman's scent.
The dagger swirled between his nimble fingers, and the scars on his fingers had scabbed several times. Even if he cut deliberately with the blade, it would be difficult to cut his fingers. Not to mention, Shaco no longer made such stupid mistakes.
Sako was not given much time, and soon there were heavy footsteps outside the door. For a moment, Sako seemed to have returned to his childhood when he was still bound by chains.
"five four three two one……"
Sako counted silently in his mind. At the last second, the iron door was pushed open, and his uncle, holding the chewing stick in his mouth, had the same scary smile on his face as he had a few years ago.
Hector, the legendary killer of Night Blade, sat down opposite Shaco, with his boots crossed on the edge of the table, and his cloak covered the man's deliberately hidden murderous intention.
"I heard that you learned a lot at the Mage Academy?"
"It's the master's careful cultivation that gave me the opportunity to learn magic."
"Can magic... be more useful than a knife?"
Hector's face was full of mockery, he had killed many mages with his own hands.
Not willing to contradict his uncle, Sacco lowered his voice.
"It's not too useful, but at least it can play some role sometimes."
The atmosphere between the two was very depressing, and Sako, who had long been used to it, took the initiative to speak.
"I want to...meet her...is that okay?"
As he finished speaking, a magic steel flying knife flew past Shaco's cheek and pierced straight into the hard stone brick.
A faint bloodstain appeared on the left side of Shaco's face, but Hector had already suppressed part of his smile.
"You don't even want to call her mother, and you want to see her? You bastard, it will be better if she can't see you, do you understand?"
Letting the blood drip from his cheeks to his collar and staining his chest red, Saco stood up and lowered his head.
"I can't see my master, nor can I see her. Uncle, my efforts and my life are meaningless. It's better to go back to the academy."
Sacco turned around and was about to leave, but Hector's voice suddenly turned cold.
"stop."
Sako stopped, turned his back to his uncle, and raised the corners of his mouth strangely.
The legendary killer's smile completely disappeared from his face. The man approached Sacco, whose expression returned to normal, and stroked the blood on his face with his right hand. The blood turned into specks of light and disappeared on his fingertips.
"Is this what you learned?"
Hector bit Yue Wangxiao tightly, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes.
"Hehehehe~hehehehehahaha~"
The weird laughter stopped suddenly. Hector put away the dagger and quickened his pace to leave the room.
Behind him, Sacco, whose neck was cut open, turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared out of thin air.
…
Ten minutes ago, in Hector's room, known as the forbidden place.
The woman huddled in the corner, wearing an exquisite and beautiful white dress, stared blankly at the strange boy who suddenly broke into the room and locked the door. The woman felt a little scared in her heart and made a "woof" sound.
【Mother……】
I called out in my heart, but I opened my mouth but couldn't say even a single word.
The woman's fear was like a steel nail piercing into Sacco's heart. With tears streaming down his face, Sacco knelt weakly on the ground. The voices in his mind were entangled in the depths of his soul like maggots attached to his bones.
[Isn’t this the woman you long for? Sako, what are you waiting for? 】
[She is very scared, I...can I really hug my mother again? 】
[Of course, every mother will never forget the taste of her child, just like you will never forget the taste of your mother]
Like the devil's temptation, Sacco believed that voice.
[Just a hug and you can calm her down]
Gritting his teeth, Sako crawled forward two steps, but found that the crazy woman began to cry, so he could only stop.
【I can not do it……】
[You can do it, Sako, until Hector comes back, you will never have the chance to see your mother again]
While Sacco was still struggling, the woman who calmed down a little found a sense of familiarity in the stranger's behavior.
"Woooo~woof!"
She forgot about the world, her brother, and herself, but she never forgot her child.
She took a step forward and hugged Sacco. Just like in the past, a woman gave the best part of herself to her child, giving her child the strength to survive.
[Look, what you dream of is right in front of you]
Like taming a disobedient beast, the voice echoed in Sako's ears, making him relax.
He finally accepted his mother's love. Just like when he was a child, he was protected and nurtured by his mother.
The steel door with a broken lock was pushed open silently. The cruel and absurd scene in front of him came into Hector's eyes. His nerves were shattered. The man staggered back two steps, his throat felt sweet, and he spat out a mouthful.
Blood.
Suddenly, he returned to that helpless night.
With a ferocious look on his face, Bryan asked himself to pick up the knife, and amidst his sister's cries, he allowed himself to choose between living with a smile or dying with a cry.
In order to take revenge and save his sister, he chose to live with a smile.
When he could hold the knife tightly and take his life, Brian became the prey in his hands, and his sister, who was pregnant with the evil seed, became a madman and lost herself.
Forgetting her incompetent brother, the child became the sister's only reason for living.
The dead Brian gave him two choices: kill the evil bastard and force his sister to death, or watch the evil bastard being raised by his sister.
He gritted his teeth and sucked on the moon white every day, once again choosing a humiliating way of life between life and death, and watched the evil seed left behind by Brian gradually grow up.
He originally thought that he had a choice, that he could forget the past in numbness and madness and become a real uncle.
It wasn't until Sacco's figure overlapped with that of his father that he finally understood that he never had a choice.
He laughed all his life, but lived to be the biggest joke.
"Hahaha!
"
Two throwing knives came out of his hand, one pierced the woman's eye socket, and the other pierced the back of Sacco's head firmly.
The mother and son clinging to each other fell in a pool of blood, refusing to separate until they died. Hector turned around, knelt on the ground with his back to the two of them, kowtowed, and then took out Yue Wangxiao and
Break the chewing stick and put it in your mouth.
Hector kept the last magic steel flying knife for himself.
At this moment, the man who closed his eyes finally forgot how a madman should smile.
