we are just monsters

Chapter 34 Fusion
"Become a human."

"constant!"

"Change."

"constant!"

Lilith resolutely refused, the dignity of a witch cannot be desecrated, and now, being a cat is the right choice.

Gu Cheng stared at her for a moment, then suddenly said: "You are already old."

"How could I be old!"

Lilith raised the volume.

Gu Cheng ignored her, threw her by the side of the road, left a sentence "Don't harm other people's little girls" and walked towards home.

Lilith is old, and he ignored this problem before, and has survived from the Middle Ages to the present, and even witches cannot live forever.

Turning into a cat is because she doesn't want others to see her aging.

Lilith ran away in the night, Xia Xiaoman looked at her back and asked, "Do witches age too?"

"Of course, otherwise, how could there be such an old witch?"

"It was all on TV, and not many people have seen the real old witch."

Xia Xiaoman could no longer distinguish between the legend and the truth. Perhaps, the former monsters were not as powerful as imagined.

They are more human-like, at least Lilith will turn into a cat due to aging, unwilling to show her true colors to others—if Gu Cheng's guess is correct.

Monsters will also get old, and there will be no new generation to supplement them. Werewolves have disappeared in history, and witches and blood races will also disappear after an unknown number of years.

"From the beginning to the end, only you, a monster, will live forever?" Xia Xiaoman felt the loneliness coming from his back. This man has walked step by step from the tribal era to the present, but there is no one who really accompany him.

Gu Cheng was walking slowly on the street, he paused when he heard Xia Xiaoman's words.

"It should be said that I am the only one left now."

"What do you mean? Isn't immortality immortal? How could it be 'leftover'?" Xia Xiaoman chased after him and asked.

"Because I killed him."

"Wow……"

Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a while, Lilith avoided him for no reason, just why?
"why?"

"Because I don't agree with each other, I sometimes regret it. If I can stay..."

Gu Cheng thought about what if, then shook his head and said, "There's no way to stay."

It's about ideas, about the survival of the tribe, about the shape, and only one correct one can be left, and the price is to become the person who is neither human nor ghost.

"What concept?"

"There was a disagreement about the future direction and ideas of the world, so we launched a war." Gu Cheng tried his best to recall, Zhuolu... Now the remaining records have changed beyond recognition, and also disturbed his memory.

"How long have you lived?"

"Do you know the sea monster? In 800 BC, the legend of the sea monster appeared in Greek mythology."

"What does this have to do with you?"

"In 2000 BC, the Di people were defeated. Half of them went ashore and merged with the Yanhuang tribe. The totems were merged, and half of them refused to merge and hid in the sea."

"Could it be..."

"I'm just guessing, because when I first saw the description of the sea monster, I immediately thought of the witches of the Di people. Maybe they didn't know what they had experienced in the sea. In the end, only witches remained."

"You've lived long enough." Xia Xiaoman scratched his face and looked at him carefully.

But there was no difference, maybe it was too bizarre, in her eyes Gu Cheng was just like Wang Aimin.

"I just told you a legend, do you really believe it?" Gu Cheng laughed.

There are too many myths and legends throughout the ages, many of which are beautiful misunderstandings caused by coincidences, but the truth hidden under the legends is very little.

"Of course I believe what you said."

"I am not omniscient, and many things can only be guessed based on some clues."

Gu Cheng shook his head, it is impossible for him to have experienced so many things.

"So, you can see ghosts to help them become human? If Uncle Chen dies one day, will he be reincarnated?" Xia Xiaoman asked.

"Of course he will. If there are still many blood clans, he may continue to reincarnate into blood clans. But if the two of them die, there will be no more blood clans. They can only behave like you."

"In this way, you still have a mission on your shoulders."

"It's just a habit."

After talking and returning home, Gu Cheng lit a stick of incense and put it in the incense burner, turned around and took a change of clothes to take a bath.

Xia Xiaoman turned on the TV, then secretly hid outside the bathroom to listen.

Only the sound of rushing water could be heard.

If you go in secretly... I'm a little shy when I think about it, Xia Xiaoman can't imagine how those female ghosts on TV calmly pass towels to people, and some hide in the toilet disgustingly.

Until the sound of the water stopped, Xia Xiaoman returned to the sofa with a whimper, waited for Gu Cheng to come out, thought for a while and said, "Have you ever thought that if you could live like this forever, always, you would always find someone to accompany you for a while. "

"Maybe, any probabilistic event, after extending the time to infinity, will almost always happen."

"So... why can't this person be me?" Xia Xiaoman asked.

"..."

Gu Cheng thought for a while, "Maybe it's because you died, why don't you reincarnate, so that you can experience what you said ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh when you come back alive."

"You are lying to me!"

Xia Xiaoman was so angry that he beat the sofa.

"Speaking of which, why do you insist on identifying me, an old monster?"

"You will never understand the regret and obsession of the short-lived species." Xia Xiaoman said.

"Indeed it is."

Gu Cheng nodded, he really couldn't understand, decades would go by in the blink of an eye, it's hard for a short-lived species to understand him.

He also couldn't understand what Xia Xiaoman was thinking when he put his feet on the coffee table and showed his slender legs.

Could it be that he would become so beastly because of this, what would he do to a little girl?
Even when she was alive, Gu Cheng didn't do anything, but Gu Cheng remembered that Xia Xiaoman was very serious and conservative at that time, never wearing a skirt, very plain, and the light blue pants faded even after washing Wear it on your body and mend it.

"You don't want to try it? Maybe it can open the door to a new world." Xia Xiaoman imitated the women on TV and posed like a monkey scratching his head.

"You haven't even touched a man, so don't pretend to be very seductive."

Gu Cheng left behind a sentence, turned around and went back to the house.

"It sounds like you, an old monster, have touched a woman! Why don't you just hide in the corner and eavesdrop on the couple's conversation...I want to tell Aunt Zhao Hong!"

Xia Xiaoman jumped up from the sofa to follow, but the door was shut with a bang.

"What's the big deal! Isn't it just to live longer! I'll go to eavesdrop too!"

"Don't scare them, I'll ask Zhao Hong to bring back the little yellow book for you to read tomorrow." Gu Cheng's voice came from the bedroom.

Xia Xiaoman: "??"

"Is this how you are a teacher?!"

"You are a ghost, since you regret that you didn't have... when you were alive and you are full of curiosity, you can satisfy your wish by looking at Jin Ping Mei."

"I'm furious!"

Xia Xiaoman circled around in the living room, her black hair about to explode.

"I'm furious!"
