Chapter 243 Ashes of Ashes, Shadows of Shadows
"Let me go to my grave safely—you just have to pray."
Annan read softly: "Unfortunate people will devote their lives to the furnace of misfortune. My hands will be burned to become strong; my feet will be burned to become strong. My pupils will be burned Like colored glaze, so I can gaze at the sky chariot..."
Having said this, Annan was suddenly taken aback.
He immediately asked Nefertari: "What are the [furnaces] in the gray tower?!"
Nefertari paused slightly when he heard this.
Then she immediately figured everything out.
She hurriedly said: "It's just under this floor! There is only one [furnace] in the Gray Tower... We didn't know what it was for before. Generally speaking, it is used by professors to burn some documents and books. We Call it a cremator... because there are always people who go in and never come out..."
Cremator - this can indeed be understood as a "grave" or a "furnace of misfortune"!
He was planning to burn himself to meet Tianche...
"Four Dark Moments!"
Annan shouted loudly.
Si Anmo also realized what Annan wanted to do the first time he received the instruction.
"I see!"
As he said, he reached out and pressed the floor of the gray tower.
I saw azure blue patterns like circuit boards protruding from his palm and spreading towards the surrounding floor... After covering about two-thirds of the room, they all suddenly turned red.
"be careful!"
Si An engraved a reminder: "If you can fly, fly first, don't fall! Then three, two, one—"
As his voice fell.
The floor under them was detonated with a bang!
With Si Anke's more proficient blasting technology, the gap that was blasted out is very smooth and a perfect circle. And without any flying stones splashing upwards, the entire floor was perfectly shattered downwards and distributed evenly throughout the space.
The two girls who are not proficient in flying for the time being, but have learned to teleport,
They were also hugged by Niwusel and Longjing Cha beside them, let's hang in the air to see what's going on below.
As a result, the gravel that was splashed downward when the floor exploded did not fall to the ground.
They were all suspended in the air, as if the pause button had been pressed the moment they fell. It is also like a falling person being frozen by the camera before he is about to hit the ground.
Looking closely, they were actually blocked by a translucent gray barrier.
Then, they melt on their own—like snow melting in the sun. It's just that the melting process has been accelerated more than ten times...
When they saw the appearance of the man downstairs, everyone except Annan showed a look of astonishment to astonishment.
"--how come?!"
Ah Dian exclaimed suddenly.
The dust cleared... revealing long gray messy hair and a violet toga. Gray cloth shoes, a dark gray sash...and those gray pupils looking up, like a puddle of stagnant water.
The person standing downstairs is exactly the same as Professor Hui who died in front of them not long ago!
It is completely "exactly the same", almost like a resurrected player...
But he clearly should have died——
The one who is still alive today should be just another person whose name and body were stolen by Professor Hui!
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Professor Hui looked up with a smile, not feeling nervous at all: "'Why are you still alive'... I think this is what you are curious about now."
"I thought it was Niussel's body that you were looking for."
Annan generally responded, while looking around.
The surrounding layout gave Annan an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Soon, Annan remembered...what exactly is the "decoration style" here.
Although not in the same place.
But the surrounding ritual field is clearly the same as in the previous "Gemini" nightmare, where Husky finally escaped from the dream within the dream and used Justus' body to kill Trissino!
It was a boiler that looked like a human face with high cheekbones.
In front of the boiler is a somewhat inclined bed, which is relatively low near the boiler and raised on the other side away from the boiler. The angle is already greater than 30 degrees, and it looks like a tongue.
The combination of these two objects has a shape reminiscent of the Pot of Greed - the pink one.
Annan also knew why some students thought this was an incinerator.
This shape looks like it is going to lift one of the parts, and then slide the corpse on the bed directly into the boiler.
"You guessed right."
To Annan's surprise, Professor Hui withdrew the barrier, put Annan and the others down, and replied calmly: "In the beginning, I really wanted to be Niussel. His talent really made me Amazing... I never thought that I would miss such a genius.
"I don't know what you did. I had already entered his body, but you suddenly killed him once - I was already desperate at the time.
"I thought you had seen through my existence in the first place, and you were going to kill me completely with such a ruthless shot. Unexpectedly, he actually came back to life, but I was ejected."
"Yet you are not dead."
"Of course I won't die."
Hearing Annan's words, Professor Hui even laughed out loud: "How could I die, Your Majesty?
"The gods are all immortals, and the rotting man is the god of the immortals. But there is an eternal life in this world...that is me."
He said softly, "It's better to say, what does [Grey] remind you of?"
"Impure black is at the same time impure white; dim light, bright darkness."
Annan replied calmly.
Professor Hui nodded: "That's right. But you overlooked one point - that is the God of Memory and Despair... [Grey Craftsman].
"This name refers to 'Creator of Ashes'."
Professor Hui said gently: "And I am the ashes He created. From the very beginning, I was just a memory. I live in the past, so you can't kill me—kill me many times, I too can rise from the 'ashes'."
"...You were not a believer in tragedy writers from the very beginning?"
"No, I am. It's like you are all the creations of Cup Girl and Yaon, but don't you also have your own beliefs?"
Professor Hui said calmly: "I am 'Ash' endowed with a personality. I named myself Professor Gray not just to borrow power from Professor Bai Chiron in the name of 'Impure White'— It is also because my real surname is really [Ash].
"I can cross the past and future as I want, because I am just a shadow of nothingness. Even the worm cannot completely control me, because what it infects is just another shadow of me-it is just the shadow of the shadow."
"If you are just an afterimage, a memory...then why do you have the desire to be promoted to gold?"
Annan asked.
Professor Hui was silent for a while, but still answered the question.
"Because of hate.
"Only hatred...can give people the most lasting power. Simple love will be hit by reality; old feelings will be gradually worn away by time; but hatred from the heart-hatred of the past, hatred of fate. The so-called His refusal to admit defeat and resignation to fate is nothing but hatred in the final analysis.”
Professor Gray declared:
"—I am the hatred that was abandoned by the graysmith in the past, so I can obtain this eternal life that surpasses eternal life.
"I will never die. Because only hatred will never die."
