messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 103 Unanswerable Questions

On the wasteland, Chu opened her eyes, and she found that she was hanging on a wooden cross, and in front of her eyes was the light she prayed for last time.

The light shone on her, and she narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at the end of the light without moving, like a suspended corpse.

In fact, she did die once. Although Lawrence's bullet could not cause damage to her physique hundreds of times higher than that of ordinary people, she voluntarily let the bullet pass through her forehead.

She died once, but only a death, which had no effect on her at all.

Chu let herself be tied to the cross without struggling, she was waiting for something, she was waiting for the punishment of this sin.

She knew that punishment would definitely come, but after a long time, she didn't feel any pain on her body.

Should he make her feel angry this time like he made her feel lonely last time?

She thought so at first, but at this moment, she heard a voice.A voice that didn't belong to her, nor to that voice.

There should be nothing else on the wasteland, nor should there be any other sounds.

Chu slowly raised her head, looked in the direction of the voice in puzzlement, and then her gaze froze there.

She saw a familiar figure coming from a distance, it was an orc, a canine orc with brown and black hair, exactly the same as the orc she knew before.

Chu stared blankly at it coming, and she recognized it.

Immediately afterwards, memories about orcs emerged from her dusty memory.

From the first time they met, fighting for corpses as food in the wasteland; to when they walked together and talked about their past together; to when they were on the verge of collapse in killing again and again, but were pulled from the edge of sanity by each other back.

At that time, they always sat and chatted in a pool of corpses and blood. The appearance of the orc looked fierce, but its character was not like that. It always talked about its hometown, especially its hometown, the moon.

When thinking of these, the eyes that Chu looked at the orc became stable.

But then she remembered the day she had killed the orc.

The blood flowing through the palm, the orc's whimper, and its nostalgia for home.At the last moment it closed its eyes, it said it was cold, and then it smiled again, and it said it saw the moon.

Chu's emotions became complicated, and she didn't know how to face the other party.

But at this time, the orc had already walked in front of her, and Chu could see its appearance clearly.

It was covered in blood, its brown and black hair was messy and stuck together with blood, it looked ugly and dirty.There is a hideous wound on the chest, which is the wound that killed it at the beginning.

It looked at Chu with red eyes, except for tyrannical anger, there was no other expression in the eyes.

Grinning the corner of its mouth, it showed its white fangs, and leaned in front of Chu.

It sniffed Chu's body with the tip of its nose, as if to confirm Chu's identity, then it looked at Chu with those red eyes.

"You, why did you kill me?"

Its voice was hoarse, with deep resentment.

Chu couldn't answer, she wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't speak.

Then, the punishment began.

She was hung on the cross, and the orcs didn't hesitate to use their sharp claws to disembowel her, tore and gnawed her internal organs frantically, and swallowed her flesh and blood, with the pleasure of revenge in their eyes.

The initial pain was temporarily restored, and it was even aggravated several times, but she would not die.

She could clearly feel every internal organ of her being bitten by the orcs, and she could also feel her heart being crushed into a pulp.

But these are not the most painful. The most obvious pain I felt at the beginning was the anger of the orc towards her, and the way it gnawed at her internal organs.

Because she knew that the orc deserved to be in peace after death, not here, to be tortured again for her sins.

At this moment, Chu already understood that the orc in front of her was no longer the orc she knew, it was just a walking corpse, being manipulated as the executor of this punishment.

This punishment continued, and the orc would leave after eating Chu's internal organs, and it would come back the next day when Chu's internal organs grew out again.

And when the orcs are not around, there will be no respite at first.The light shining on her body will become extremely hot, which will become another kind of torture.

There is nothing in the endless wasteland, only a cross and a light.

On the cross, the envoy was weak and weak from the scorching light, with his head bowed down.

It should be the tenth day, when the tenth scratch was carved on the cross with bloody fingers, the orcs came again.

Chu lowered her head, she didn't want to look at the resentful eyes of the orc.

The orc began to tear at her insides, but this time for some unknown reason.

The orc stopped in the middle of eating, and it looked extremely painful, clutching its throat and scratching its neck with its claws, tearing itself apart.

Finally, Chu had a reaction.

Looking at the orc in pain, she slowly raised her head to look at the sky, opened her chapped lips, and prayed in a hoarse voice.

"Leave it alone."

She prayed for the peace of the deceased, but did not pray for the slightest forgiveness for herself.

But the voice ignored her, and the punishment continued, again and again.

I don't know how long it took, until one day the orcs didn't come again, and the cross behind Chu's back also began to decay, slowly weathered, and shattered into powder.

Chu fell to the ground with red and black dirt on his cheeks.

At this time, the voice finally appeared, and it responded to Chu's previous request.

"Punishment cannot be stopped, I think you can understand."

Chu fell there, unable even to raise her eyes, and after a long time, she replied in a faint voice.

"Ah."

Under the guilt, she was exhausted, but she continued to ask a word.

"Where did it go?"

She asked, of course, the orc.

"I have let it go." The voice gave Chu a reply, and then left silently, as if wanting to leave Chudian some time to rest alone.

It wasn't until hearing this answer that Chu finally seemed to let go of something, closed his eyes, and passed out.

······
When Chu woke up again, her body had almost recovered, the pain disappeared again, and the evil in her body was even bigger.

In one sense she had grown stronger, but in another sense she was weak now, she was so tired.

In the wilderness, the light shone on Chu's side, and it became soft and warm again, and Chu found a place to sit down at will.

She stared blankly at the empty distance, and suddenly, she said to the drowsy sky.

"are you there?"

·····
"Do you have any questions?" A voice came from the sky.

There was no unnecessary expression on Chu's face, but he hesitated and asked with doubts in his eyes.

"After all, what is evil?"

The voice obviously didn't expect Chu to ask such a question, it didn't answer, this was the only time it didn't answer Chu's question, it just waited in silence.

Because maybe, even it doesn't know the answer.
