Chapter 465 But my sins are too deep.
Drake led Gu Yeming and Seren through the winding streets. Along the way, the streets were full of skinny children.
They looked haggard, with a heavy look that was not expected at their age. There were also those adults who were hunched over from overwork, and they walked slowly, with each step being difficult.
Soon, they arrived in front of an inconspicuous building.
Drake gently pushed open the door. The room was dimly lit and filled with a faint smell of medicine.
Lawrence - or should be Sandrine, was lying on a simple hospital bed at the moment, his face as pale as paper. Beside the bed were some simple medical equipment, which looked like they had been used many times and were full of signs of wear and tear.
He leaned against the head of the bed, as if staring into the air.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he turned his head and saw Drake in the front at first glance.
Sandrine subconsciously wanted to say something, but he paused the next second.
He saw Gu Yeming behind Drake.
The next moment, a glimmer of light seemed to emerge from his originally cloudy pupils. He opened his mouth, and a hoarse voice came out from his throat:
"Gu Yeming...?"
Before Gu Yeming responded, Drake said quickly:
"Lord Lawrenson, please take care of yourself."
"Ahem... I understand. You go out first. I have something to say to him." Sandrine coughed for a while and waved at Drake, signaling him to leave.
"Seren, you go out too." Gu Yeming said in a calm voice without looking back.
"it is good."
Drake and Seren looked at each other, responded, and left the room, closing the door behind them.
At this moment, only Gu Yeming and Sandrine were left in the room.
Both of them were silent, as if they had not expected that their meeting again would be like this.
Sandrine was the first to break the silence. He raised his eyes, his expression surprisingly calm, and said hoarsely:
"You don't look the same, but I feel like you've changed a lot."
Gu Yeming looked at Sandrine, and for a moment he was unable to compare the calm, dying old man in front of him with the chess piece before.
He shook his head, moved a dusty chair from the side, sat down beside the bed, and asked:
"Tell me about the latest situation of Blue Technology."
"Okay." Sandrina sighed and told Gu Yeming all the details about the invasion of the Star Devouring Insects.
Half an hour later.
"You mean, the strange monsters in the dark layer couldn't even hold out for ten minutes and were completely defeated?" Gu Yeming asked in a deep voice.
"Yes..." Sandrine continued with a sigh:
"The number of those bugs is extremely large, and there are countless powerful ones among them. Even the "king" of the dark layer's weird monsters is helpless in the face of them."
"Sterling...?" A figure wearing black-framed glasses appeared in Gu Yeming's mind, and he asked:
"How's Strind?"
Sandrine shook her head in response:
"It's not dead. Although it was no match for the swarm of insects, the ability of a natural disaster-level weird monster to survive is still quite strong."
"Where should it be hiding now?"
"By the way." Sandrine paused and then asked:
"We haven't found any trace of you since then. Could it be that you went to the dimension realm?"
"Yeah." There was naturally no need to hide this, so Gu Yeming responded.
"It must be exciting there, right?" Sandrine murmured to herself, with an unconcealable curiosity in her eyes.
Although he was frail and the flame of his life seemed to be extinguished at any time, his strong desire for the unknown was never extinguished by suffering.
"good."
The two fell silent again.
"I am an executioner." Suddenly, Sandrine said this in a very calm tone.
Gu Yeming did not say anything and waited for what was to come.
"You can see that the shelter can only accommodate these people..."
Sandrine's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, as if she was in endless pain.
“No matter which country or force it is, when faced with a catastrophe, preserving the living forces is the best option.”
"But it is obvious that in order to preserve some of the living forces, we must abandon the rest..."
Sandrine lowered her eyes and her voice became quieter:
"I personally destroyed their lives and watched helplessly as they were devoured by those insects."
"I know this is a cruel thing to do, but I have no choice but to do it."
"How will future generations judge me? A tyrant? Or a beast in human form?"
To be precise...it is highly likely that there are no descendants.
Gu Yeming did not say this aloud, but only said it in his heart.
Because when he was a player, the blue technology had been completely devoured by the Starworms.
"what do you want to drink?"
Suddenly, Gu Yeming asked.
Sandrine looked at him in surprise, and seemed to understand something, and laughed softly:
"As far as I can remember, you've always treated me like a chess piece."
"When did you become so nice?"
"Could it be that you see that my death is imminent? Are you planning to have pity on me?"
"No." However, Gu Yeming denied it.
He looked into the other person's eyes, with a hint of appreciation and a little respect in his eyes.
He said calmly: "I know your abilities."
Hearing this, Sandrine was stunned.
In just two seconds, he smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect you to know me so well..."
"To be honest, you have quite advanced intelligence. Sometimes I even wonder if you are from the future."
"But there's no need to dwell on this now..."
"Yes, you know, as long as I want to live, I can live forever."
"My ability can completely replace a person, including the life span of that person."
"I can order right now, so to speak, that the body of a dead child be placed in front of me and then be replaced directly."
"In this way, I will regain a young and vibrant body and completely get rid of my current state."
At this point, Sandrine sighed heavily, her lips trembling, and finally revealed her innermost thoughts:
"But...."
“My sins are too great.
