Chapter 155: Chapter 58: Lightless Sea
Coming out of the hotel, Miku Izayoi stood on the street.
Not long ago, when she was fighting Varda, everyone around her was scared away.
Even now, there is not a single pedestrian in sight.
Just as she was thinking about whether to wait for the consortium to pick her up or find a way to go back by herself, a familiar voice came and interrupted her thoughts.
"Yo."
Miku Izayoi turned her head and saw Irena squatting not far from the hotel entrance.
Irena waved her hand and threw a bottle of juice that she had gotten from somewhere to Miku Izayoi.
"Why is it this cheap stuff?" Miku Izayoi showed a look of disgust, "Is this really drinkable?"
"Hey, it's a cheap one from a vending machine. I'm really sorry, I don't have that much money to buy you any juice." Irene rolled her eyes. "Don't underestimate it because it's cheap. It's much better than those organic freshly squeezed juices you usually drink."
"You've eaten too much low-quality food, and your taste buds have been damaged."
Even though she complained, Miku Izayoi still didn't throw away the juice.
she reluctantly opened the pull ring and took a few symbolic sips.
"To be honest, I thought you had left. I didn't expect you to stay here." Miku Izayoi said, "Where are Priscilla and Ursula?"
"I've asked someone to send them to the hospital," Irene replied, "I have some connections in Happy Street, so it's not a problem to ask them to do me a favor."
"Shouldn't you be worriedly staying by your sister's side at this time?"
After Varda was dealt with, Ursula, who had been used as its body, was also rescued.
Like Ursula, Priscilla suffered from malicious mental dryness and it would take some time for her to recover, so Miku Izayoi handed them over to Irene and asked her to take the two injured to the hospital.
However, what Miku Izayoi didn't expect was that this guy actually stayed here.
Based on her understanding of Irene, this sister-con should be pacing back and forth outside the ward door with an anxious look on his face, fearing that something might happen to his sister.
"Well..."
Irene looked a little reserved and made a lame excuse: "If you stay alone with that bastard Dirk, and something unexpected happens, I won't be able to pay my debt, right?"
Hearing this, Miku Izayoi expression became a little subtle.
It is true that Irene has not yet repaid the 900 million that she owes her.
But if something really happens to her as the creditor, the debt will disappear as well.
For this girl, this is actually a good thing that should be celebrated.
As if she realized that her excuse was illogical, Irene coughed twice and changed the subject: "By the way, how is Dirk?"
"He's probably dead."
"Dead, dead?!"
Hearing that her former boss, the Tyrant who was known to everyone in the dark world, had died here, Irene widened her eyes and asked in disbelief, "Did you kill him?"
"I had the killer kill him."
"Isn't that the same thing?"
"Why are you so excited?" Miku Izayoi gave her a strange look, "Shouldn't this kind of thing be common to you?"
"It's nothing new to me, but..."
Irene hesitated to speak.
When she was a child, she lived in a war-torn area and saw corpses and death almost every day.
He was brought to the water city Hexagram by Dirk and became his tool. Although he had never killed anyone personally, he had seen many murder scenes.
She had indeed long been accustomed to death.
"But you're an idol. Do you know how heavy it is to bear the responsibility of a life?" Irene said anxiously, "Don't take human life lightly. When you think about it later, you will definitely regret your decision!"
"Are you lecturing me?"
Miku Izayoi frowned and said unhappily, "Irena, are you becoming more and more confused about your position recently?"
"I...I just don't want to see you get crushed by the stress of killing people, that's all."
Irene sighed and scratched her cheek. "In Happy Street, I've seen too many people collapse under the pressure of killing and ruin their own futures. But you have a bright future. It would be terrible if you ended up in my situation."
"snort..."
Seeing that Irene was worried about her, Miku Izayoi face looked better and she said nonchalantly, "Don't think of me as one of those rookies who collapses at the sight of a little darkness. I'm no longer that kind of person."
"Already... not...?"
Irene was keenly aware of the information that Miku Izayoi revealed unconsciously.
Miku Izayoi did not answer.
she raised his head, as if recalling the past.
But unlike others, she did not show any nostalgia when she recalled her younger self.
His expression became even colder.
"Irene, what does this world mean to you?"
"What is the world..." Irene said awkwardly, "Don't ask me such profound questions. I haven't even read books for a few years."
"Oh, you are really a complete idiot."
"Oh, you are so smart, why don't you tell me what this world is."
Miku Izayoi smiled disdainfully.
Looking towards the horizon, her eyes were deep, not like the Miku Izayoi on the stage, but also somewhat different from the Miku Izayoi that Irene usually interacted with.
But she couldn't tell what was different.
"This world is a dark ocean."
Miku Izayoi said slowly.
"The surface of the sea is as rough as a rock. Some people drift alone in their own canoes, while others contribute their own planks to form a larger boat for greater safety and stability.
However, there are always unfortunate ones who will be knocked down by the wind and waves, or smashed by other ships, and finally fall into this black ocean. "
As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved it gently, as if she were really in the sea.
"Once falling into it, the person will lose his light and direction, and will sink forever in the endless darkness.
No matter how they struggled, their final fate was to sink to the bottom of the sea and die silently.
I was once one of the countless drowning people, shattered by the malice of others and fell into the deep sea.
Helplessness, fear, and despair devour my heart.
But I was lucky, someone pulled me back to the surface when I was most desperate. "
Miku Izayoi looked at Irene again and spoke word by word.
Looking into Miku Izayoi eyes, Irena seemed to see the bottomless pool hidden in them.
That... is the darkness that can only be born from the deepest despair.
Even just a peek at a corner can make one feel cold all over.
Irene seemed to feel the dark ocean described in her words, making her breathless.
Somehow, she seemed to see a towering steel ship appearing behind Miku Izayoi .
With the momentum to crush everything, she shuttled across this lightless sea like a king.
"This time, no matter what stands in my way, I will tear them all apart.
I will never fall again, and I will never return to that dark ocean.
No matter what the cost.
Even if it means killing people, I will do it at all costs."
