"Let me go to my grave in peace - all you have to do is pray."
Annan whispered: "Unfortunate people will sacrifice themselves in the furnace of misfortune. My hands will be burned and become strong; my feet will be burned and become strong. My pupils will be burned."
Like glass, you can gaze at the sky train..."
Having said this, Annan was suddenly startled.
He immediately asked Nefertari: "What are the [furnaces] in the Gray Tower?!"
When Nefertari heard this, he also paused slightly.
Then she immediately figured everything out.
She hurriedly said: "It's just below this floor! The Gray Tower only has one [furnace]... We didn't know what it was used for before. Generally speaking, it is used by professors to burn some documents and books. We
It’s called a crematorium… because there are always people who go in and never come out again…”
The crematorium - this can indeed be understood as a "grave" or a "furnace of misfortune"!
He was planning to burn himself so that he could see Tianche...
"Four dark carvings!"
Annan shouted loudly.
Si Anke also realized what Annan wanted to do as soon as he received the instruction...
"I see!"
He said, reaching out and pressing the floor of the gray tower.
I saw blue lines like circuit boards protruding from his palms and spreading towards the surrounding floor... After covering about two-thirds of the room, they suddenly all turned red.
"be careful!"
Si An reminded him: "If you can fly, fly first, don't fall! Then three, two, one -"
As his voice fell.
The floor beneath them exploded!
With Si Anqi's increasingly proficient blasting technology, the blasted gap was very smooth and a perfect circle. Moreover, there were no flying rocks flying upwards, and the entire floor was perfectly blasted downwards and evenly distributed throughout the entire floor.
in space.
The two girls, who were not yet proficient in flying but had learned how to teleport, were also hugged by Neusel and Longjing Cha beside them. They were hanging in the air to see what was going on below.
As a result, the gravel that spattered downwards when the floor exploded did not fall to the ground.
All of them were seen hanging in the air, as if the pause button was pressed at the moment of falling. It was also like the falling person was frozen by the camera before landing.
Looking closely, they are actually blocked by a translucent gray barrier.
Then, they melted on their own - just like snow melting in the sun. It's just that the melting process accelerated more than ten times...
When they saw the appearance of the man downstairs clearly, everyone except Annan showed expressions of surprise and astonishment.
"--how come?!"
Ah Dian suddenly exclaimed.
I saw the dust dispersed...revealing long gray messy hair, a violet toga, gray cloth shoes, a dark gray sash...and the gray pupils that looked up, like a pool of stagnant water.
The man standing downstairs was exactly the same as Professor Gray who died in front of them not long ago!
It's completely "exactly the same", just like the resurrected player...
But he clearly should have died——
The one who is still alive now should be just another person whose name and body were stolen by Professor Gray!
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Professor Gray looked up with a smile, not feeling nervous at all: "'Why are you still alive'... I think this is what you are curious about now."
"I thought it was Neusser's body that you were attracted to."
Annan responded normally while looking around.
The surrounding layout gave Annan an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Soon, Annan remembered... what exactly was the "decoration style" here.
Although not in the same place.
But the surrounding ritual venue is clearly exactly the same as the place where Husky finally escaped from the dream within the dream in the previous "Gemini" nightmare and used Justus' body to kill Trissino!
It was a boiler that looked like a human face with high cheekbones.
There is a bed with a slight slope right in front of the boiler. The section close to the boiler is relatively low, while the other side away from the boiler is raised. The angle is greater than 30 degrees, and it looks like it is extending out.
tongue.
When these two objects are combined together, their shape is reminiscent of the Pot of Greed - the pink one.
Annan also knew why some students thought this was a crematorium.
This shape looks like one of them is lifted up, and then the body on the bed is slid directly into the boiler.
"You guessed it right."
To Annan's surprise, Professor Gray withdrew the barrier, released Annan and the others, and replied calmly: "At first, I really wanted to be Neusser. His talent really impressed me.
Amazing...I didn't expect that I actually missed such a genius.
"I don't know what you did. I had already entered his body, but you suddenly killed him - I was already desperate at that time.
"I thought you saw through my existence immediately and took such a ruthless attack to kill me completely. Unexpectedly, he actually came back to life, but I was ejected."
"But you are not dead."
"Of course I won't die."
Hearing Annan's words, Professor Gray even laughed out loud: "How could I die, Your Majesty?
"All gods are immortals, and Fufu is the god of immortals. But there is eternal life beyond eternal life in this world... that is me."
He said warmly: "Rather, what does [gray] remind you of?"
"Impure black is also impure white; it is dim light and bright darkness."
Annan replied calmly.
Professor Gray nodded: "Yes. But you overlooked one thing - that is the God of Memories and Despair... [Gray Craftsman].
"This name refers to the 'Creator of Ashes'."
Professor Gray said gently: "And I am the Gray created by Him. From the beginning, I am just a memory. I live in the past, so you can't kill me - no matter how many times you kill me,
I too can rise from the 'ashes'."
"...You were never a believer in tragedians from the very beginning?"
"No, I am. Just like you are all the creations of the Cup Girl and Yaweng, but don't you also have your own beliefs?"
Professor Gray said calmly: "I am the 'Grey' who has been given a personality. I named myself Professor Gray not just to borrow power from Professor White Chiron in the name of 'Impure White' -
It’s even more because my real last name is really [Gray].
"I can transcend the past and the future at will, because I am just a shadow of nothingness. Even the worm cannot completely control me, because what it is infiltrated is just another shadow of me - it is just a shadow of a shadow."
"If you are just an afterimage, a memory...then why do you have the desire to be promoted to gold?"
Annan asked.
Professor Gray was silent for a while, but still answered the question.
"Because of hate.
"Only hatred... can give people the most lasting strength. Pure love will be hit by reality; past feelings will gradually be worn away by time; but hatred from the heart - hatred of the past, hatred of fate. The so-called
His refusal to admit defeat and his fate is, in the final analysis, just hatred."
Professor Gray declared:
"——I am the one who hated being abandoned by the graysmith in the past, so I can obtain this eternal life that transcends eternal life.
"I will never die. Because only hatred will never end."
