Alien Knights

What color is the loss of light.

Some people said it was darkness, but Karin didn't think so at the moment.

Karin, who was blind and had not eaten for three days and three nights, "looked" at the "landscape" in front of her, and found more and more that blindness was a color that was hollower than darkness and more absurd than nothingness.

Scenes from the past were like shadows with dotted outlines, dancing in front of her.

Every word cursed by his father, every hostile look from his relatives, every pain he felt from being beaten by the villagers.

The suffering of the past was like boiling venom, burning every nerve in Karin.

"Get me out of here!"

Karin yelled as she touched the wall and walked toward the exit. To her disappointment, a locked iron door blocked her way out.

Pick up a small stone and throw it through the gap in the iron door.

With the crisp sound of stones falling to the ground, nothing happened.

Karin, whose powers failed, sat on the ground blankly, with only despair left in her heart.

Carefully taking out the glass pendant from her chest, Karin held the pendant tightly in her hand, like a lost traveler in a snowstorm holding the only match in her hand.

Karin curled up and sat in the corner of the room, looked up at the sky, and whispered: "Todd, if death comes unexpectedly, please take me back to that place..."

After a long time, the sound of heavy footsteps outside the door woke Karin up.

Karin raised her head and smelled a familiar smell in her nostrils. It was the smell of books that had been stored for many years and had turned yellow and curled up.

Karin knew who it was.

"Old man, I have some bad news for you. I haven't breathed my last yet." Karin leaned her head against the wall and said mockingly, "Maybe I will live longer than you."

Waiting for Marcus to open the iron door, Mairis walked into the room and said to Karin: "Have you considered what I said to you?"

"Eternal life? Immortal? Extraordinary?" Karin chuckled: "I can't listen to those blabbering words you said."

Mairis sighed: "Karin, you didn't like listening to other people's words a long time ago, and this problem still hasn't changed now."

"You locked me here and prohibited me from going out. For three days, you only gave me water and refused to give me even a crumb of bread. Do you still want me to listen to you?" Karin said coldly: "If you want to If you want to kill me, do it quickly! No need to torture me like this!"

Mairis shook his head slightly: "Karin, I can't bring myself to harm you at all. I have watched you grow up since you were a child, and I have never done anything harmful to you."

Karin: "Since you won't kill me, then let me go!"

Myris: "I won't kill you, but I want you to embrace death."

"What?"

"Death will be your only path to salvation."

Karin spat on the ground: "Old man, do you think I'm an idiot?"

"You were severely injured in that fire. Although the regeneration ability repaired the texture, it could not repair the nerves and scars. Your eyes have completely lost their function, and you cannot even detect basic light. Your left Some nerves in the arm and left leg have also been damaged, and I will never be able to walk like a normal person again..."

Mairis's words were like a knife, slowly cutting into Karin's spirit.

"And your face, you should be glad that you are blind, otherwise your current face will become your nightmare."

"enough!"

Facing Karin's yelling, Melis looked at the pendant in the other person's hand and said softly: "My child, you and him are getting farther and farther away. It's time to let go."

Karin grabbed the pendant with both hands and said word by word: "What if I say no?"

Mairis stretched out his palm to Karin and said softly: "You have no reason or power to say no. Listen, my child, I can liberate you from the whirlpool of pain, provided that you must step out of the first step."

Karin's hand touched something dry, it felt like a layer of dried skin wrapped around bones.

Melis gently held Karin's hand with his palm, eliciting a scream from the latter.

"Who are you? No! What on earth are you?!"

Mairis retracted his palm: "I am still the old man you know, but now I have become a mummy, and the word life has nothing to do with me."

Karin stepped back on her hands and knees: "I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean you are dead?"

"Dead, but still alive. At least my memories and thoughts are preserved." Melis asked Karin: "Have you heard of the term Successor of the Undead?"

Karin paused: "Heirs of the Undead? But those are monsters that have lost their souls!"

"We improved that creature and allowed them to retain their souls when they were alive, which is what I look like today."

Karin shook her body and shouted, "But it's still a monster!"

Mairis did not get angry, there was only a slight regret in his tone: "You don't understand."

Karin gritted her teeth and said, "I understand, the tragedy in Taylor City was your work! You turned the entire city into a cemetery of death!"

Mairis shook his head: "Taylor City is just an experiment, an experiment used to test the stability of the transformation of the undead. After obtaining those experimental data, I can now declare that the risk of the transformation of the undead species is extremely low. Anyone with the All living species can retain memories and thoughts, and be safely transformed into undead. Karin, do you know what this means?"

Before Karin could answer, Mairis continued: "This means that war, plague, poverty, competition...all factors that harm the progress of the race will be completely eliminated, and mankind will usher in a beautiful golden age."

"Think about it, why are there wars and why are there killings? In the final analysis, there is only one reason - desire." Melis stood up and said with emotion: "The desire for material, the desire for emotion, the desire for entertainment, These are the fundamental reasons that drive humans to fight each other.”

"However, necromancy can solve all problems once and for all. For an individual transformed into necromancy, money, the opposite sex, and happiness have no meaning to him. He will use all his energy to pursue the truth and desire Knowledge."

"If the entire society completes the transformation of necromancy, what will the world look like? There will never be hunger again, and people will gather together to discuss philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, music, literature... gold, Precious stones and silver are just decorations, and money will forever lose its meaning!”

"There is no need for Heavenly Father or the Church to exist. Every dead soul will have a strong spirit and understand what self is and what reality is. They will no longer be deceived by false gods, nor will they be deceived by ambition. I will not seek salvation in front of a stone statue!"

"Karin, have you ever thought about it? What a wonderful and great world this is! Don't you want to join this world and see this bright and beautiful future?"

Facing the excited Mairis, Karin just replied coldly: "Stay away from me! You immortal monster!"

The old man slowly lowered his arms and sighed deeply: "Child, think about it slowly. I have plenty of time, but you don't have much time."

After saying this, Mairis left the room directly.

Before Marcus left, he secretly placed a large bag of rye bread and a whole sausage in the corner, then closed the iron door and left slowly.
