And now, it was making a "crunching" sound towards Uru.

At this moment, Ulu was stunned.

He had seen the bug.

That summer twenty years ago.

……

"Mom, I just saw a very strange bug."

"Why is it weird?"

"It's chirping like a cicada, but it seems a little different... I'll go catch it and show it to you!"

"No, Uru. You're not sure if it's a pest or not, and it's not bothering you, so why are you trying to catch it?"

Even after so many years, Ulu still can't forget that face that was pale due to illness, but very serious.

"Be a good child, Ulu."

His mother told him so.

……

While Ulu was lost in his memories, the bug moved.

It spread its immature wings and flew up slowly and limpingly, like a bee looking for flowers. Ulu watched it fly into the sea of ​​flowers and land.

But it did not fall on the flowers, but on the soil.

Then, its weak wings fell off, and its whole body quickly grew larger, quickly transforming into a long worm.

It was like a fish entering the sea, immediately swimming in the vast soil, looking very full of vitality.

But in stark contrast are the flowers.

Those flowers are withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Where the worms had crawled through, the flowers fell down in large numbers.

Just like the food that died overnight twenty years ago.

At this moment, Ulu understood everything.

He collapsed to the ground, looking at the rapidly withering sea of ​​flowers. He subconsciously stretched out his hand, trying to grab something, but he could grab nothing.

A huge and violent emotion hit his heart.

Make him want to shout and scream.

But he couldn't make any sound, as if he had been deprived of the ability to speak, and even when he tried his best he could only make meaningless whimpers.

Nothing could be heard except despair.

"This is the second part of the God's Chosen Plan." Bai Wei's voice sounded slowly, "In Som City, they need to be 'careful' to a certain extent to avoid choosing some inappropriate people. But outside of Som City, they don't need such a 'gentle' approach. They can be more direct, just like what you have seen."

Ulu was breathing heavily, but still couldn't make any sound.

He felt like he was being pushed into deep water. He struggled to breathe, but the more he struggled, the more he suffocated.

"In Som City, they select worthy targets, either 'seeds' who can enter the church, or 'widows' who have a certain amount of property but no one to inherit it. They will prepare a long and meticulous death for these people, and take over their inheritance without letting anyone see any flaws."

Bai Wei's voice still echoed in Ulu's mind.

"But outside Som City, they don't need to. They only need to create 'natural disasters' again and again to kill their targets one by one. But even so, they can ensure that they will not kill everyone, and they can even leave the 'seeds' they want. You should also know what they do, right?"

Ulu's body kept shaking. He wanted Bai Wei to shut up, but he still couldn't make a sound.

"They just need to give each household a minimum ration, and then the ones who survive will definitely be the children, which is the seeds they want."

"As to why."

"Because no mother..." He paused, then said softly, "would watch her child starve to death."

At this moment, Uru finally passed that point.

He made a sound he had never made before.

Despair, pain, madness.

All kinds of thoughts mixed together, devouring the last of his sanity, so that he rushed into the rapidly dying sea of ​​flowers like a wild beast, and then dug the ground frantically like a wild dog.

He wanted to find the worm.

That one,

Bugs he should have killed twenty years ago.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 60 Sixty What are you going to do?

Bai Wei looked at Ulu quietly.

He still managed to pull the worm out of the soil, but in just a short time, the worm's size had increased tenfold to become a real giant worm.

But even so, the worm died.

It was attacked by Uru using various means.

Fists, feet, and even... teeth. This didn't seem like a human's method at all. It looked more like a frenzied beast attacking another monster.

The monster itself was actually vulnerable, and Ulu easily cut it into pieces.

Yes, this bug is so weak that a grown man can kill it easily.

The same goes for a child.

So, after completing this unequal massacre, Ulu did not feel any pleasure. He just lay blankly in the dead flowers. The mud and the dead flowers stuck to his body, making him look like a part of the land.

Ulu stared blankly at the ceiling, his eyes devoid of any trace of life. He was silent for who knows how long before he finally spoke slowly. His voice was so hoarse that it was almost impossible to hear what he was saying: "Visas... Is this the truth you want me to see?"

"Yes."

"All of them?"

"All of them."

Ulu was stunned for a while, and then he spoke again: "I understand, I finally understand, I understand why you told me the truth in three days."

Bai Wei didn't say anything.

"You want to tell me that my fate was predetermined from the beginning. My mother and I... No, to be precise, only my mother is not the person the church needs, so she must, must..." Ulu said this with some difficulty, "to die twenty years ago, but she will definitely let me survive, and I will definitely enter the church, and I will definitely meet Luggie. Even if it's not Luggie, it will be someone else, like the old man in the library, but in essence he is another Luggie."

"After I entered the church, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pass the assessment to enter Som City, because everything I believed in was false. Rhine's selection criteria is only one, that is, whether the appearance is close to what they think is the template of God's favor. And I am not, so I can only stay in that small town forever, become... the next Lu Ji, and then meet the next childhood me."

"This is a future that I can't change no matter how hard I struggle, right?"

"This is the truth you want me to see."

Bai Wei remained silent. He knew that he didn't need to speak at this moment. He just needed to listen.

"Hehe, I was just thinking, if I had killed that bug 20 years ago, would things not have turned out like this?" Uru tilted his head a little, looking at the big table where there were hundreds of identical boxes. "But now it seems that I was thinking too much."

Bai Wei finally spoke up: "Killing one or two is useless. If we don't eliminate the source, they will continue to reproduce."

"What is the source?"

"The successive bishops of the Western Cathedral." Bai Wei said calmly, "They have the ability to create and control these insects."

Ulu suddenly laughed: "I guessed that was the case, so you offered me a deal yesterday... the final deal, right?"

"Then..." Bai Wei controlled his middle finger again and slowly stood it up, "Do you want to trade?"

Wulu murmured, "I don't seem to have any reason to refuse. After all, it's already like this. What else can I not lose?"

"That is to say..."

"I reject."

"...Huh?" Bai Wei seemed a little surprised.

"I said, I refuse." Uru looked at his middle finger, grinned, and revealed an extremely ugly smile, "Visas, do you think you have everything under control? Do you think I have no reason to refuse? A rotten person like me, with a rotten life like mine, already knows everything, so I should give it up, right?"

Bai Wei's voice was still calm: "It seems you don't think so."

"Of course I don't think so!" Uru stood up suddenly, his emotions out of control at this moment, "Fate has made me like this, and you want me to die for such a fate. No, Visas! I tell you, no!"

"Meeting you is also part of my destiny! But I refuse such a fate! You want me to die for the past! I just don't want to die!"

"You miscalculated! Visas!"

"No matter how rotten, cheap, or worthless this life is, it is... what my mother left me! He is the only thing my mother left me!"

Ulu roared hysterically at Bai Wei.

"I won't give it to you! I won't give it to you!"

"Hahahaha, Visas, you lose, you lose!"

Uru was laughing.

In mockery.

In a joke.

He finally defeated this self-righteous guy.

But at the same time.

He was also crying, crying like a child who had lost everything and was venting his emotions wantonly.

But now, no one can comfort him.

Bai Wei waited until Wu Lu had finished venting his anger before he slowly asked, "So, now that you know everything, what do you want to do now?"

What do you want to do now?

There was a flash of confusion in Ulu's eyes, but it soon became clear again.

He said slowly and firmly.

"I want to... go home."

……

No more, nothing at all.

Uru ran wildly in the city of Somme in the heavy rain.

He already knew everything, understood everything, and at the same time, he decided to give up everything.

Be it fate or hatred.

No more, nothing at all.

He just wanted to go home, back to the place he had wanted to escape from countless times, back to... his mother.

For this reason, he ran like a mad dog, knocking down countless pedestrians and falling down countless times, but he quickly got up and continued running.

He rushed back to the hotel as fast as he could, rushed into his room and packed his luggage.

At night, it is difficult to leave the city.

But he couldn't care less, he had to leave now, he had to leave tonight.

After picking up his luggage, Ulu quickly went downstairs again. Just as he was about to go out, he heard sobbing coming from one of the rooms.

His body froze.

Ulu slowly turned his head and looked towards the room.

The boss lady, Kaya, was lying on the bed, with Leah lying on top of her and crying.

"Aunt, Aunt, please don't leave..."

Ulu stood outside the room and watched silently.

Kya wasn't dead yet, but she was clearly not going to make it through the night, or even a few hours.

Uru watched her raise her hand with difficulty and gently stroke Leah's head. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

Then, as if she had realized something, she slowly raised her head and looked towards Uru.

Ulu didn't know whether her unfocused eyes could see him, but he could still read the apology in them.
