Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 444 Save Me, Cecilia
Deep in the fog, two Lu Zes, one sitting and one standing, gazed at each other.

Why did you run away?

Upon hearing Lu Ze's question from the standing figure, the Lu Ze lying on the ground paused for a moment, then laughed. It was a laugh devoid of any joy, filled with exhaustion and despair, a laugh that made Lu Ze feel uneasy from the bottom of his heart.

"You should know the reason very well, right?"

After he finished laughing, he pointed to his body, which had been burned but had recovered quickly, and said softly, "I was in so much pain."

pain
This time, it was Lu Ze who was stunned.

The other party continued:

"Since transmigrating, I have been living an unimaginably terrible life every day."

"Constantly tormented by various evil gods, constantly bearing the extreme emotions of millions, constantly having flesh cut open, constantly enduring harm, having one's head shot, one's arm torn off, and then having to use that 'pain' to amplify the feeling of pain!"

"And what happened? The captain died, Cecilia died, the lambs died, everyone died! I was all alone again."

"There is no hope for the future, only suffering!"

The split-off [Luze] shook its head in despair, "I can't take it anymore, I'm so tired, I don't want to continue! I don't want to feel my own existence, I don't want to be conscious, I don't want to continue on this painful and extraordinary path!"

"I just want to end all of this!"

That's why he ended his own life immediately, and only chose to escape after realizing it was ineffective.
Is this my truest thought deep in my heart?
Lu Ze remained expressionless, his fists clenched tightly. He clenched them so hard that his fingernails dug deep into his palms, causing warm blood to drip slowly.

The pain I'm enduring is so intense that even my alter ego is unwilling to bear it anymore?

"Ah"

A sound echoed within him; it was Medici chuckling softly.

"Calm down, don't let your emotions control you." M's figure appeared beside you, gently comforting you, "This is just a small part of your mental world, it doesn't represent your true thoughts. Having such thoughts actually proves that you are a living, breathing person."

"call"

Lu Ze took a deep breath, trying to suppress the turmoil in his mind.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

He looked down at his own clone.

"No."

The other person replied in despair, as if his shouts had exhausted all his energy. He waved his hand wearily, "Destroy me, I don't want to feel anything anymore."

".good."

Lu Ze said in a deep voice, and with a flick of his hand, he created another flaming spear.

The other person looked at the musket with a look of relief in his eyes.

"You can't kill him."

But just then, M spoke up.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Ze stopped what he was doing, turned around and asked, and even the Lu Ze sitting on the ground looked puzzled.

M explained softly:
“He is a part of your humanity, and a very vibrant and full one at that. Killing him would destroy your humanity and be detrimental to your mental state.”

"But if I don't deal with him, my mental state will remain unstable."

Lu Zedao.

"So my advice is to devour him and bring him back into your consciousness."

M offered her solution.

"Then wouldn't I continue to exist?"

"Lu Ze on the ground asked incredulously."

"Yes."

M nodded gently yet cruelly. "Unfortunately, you will continue to exist as a part of him—that is to say, you will continue to feel this pain clearly and continuously until the very end."

Hearing her say that, the astonishment on Lu Ze's face as he lay there gradually turned into despair and fear.

"do not want!"

He screamed, suddenly leaped up, and fled deeper into the mist. "Bang!"

The weak boy was no match for the main body and was easily grabbed and pinned to the ground.

"You promised me! You said you would kill me!"

He struggled and cried out to Luze in despair.

Lu Ze, however, remained silent with a tense expression.

"Chichi."

His palm pressed against the other person's back, and that hand gradually merged with [Lu Ze] on the ground.

"Ahhhh!"

The Luze on the ground cried out in pain and despair for the future.

"Stop, I beg you, stop!"

Tears streamed down his face. "I just wanted to die. I didn't want to hurt you!"

"We can't stop."

M, standing nearby, said, "If you stop, you'll suffer a mental breakdown, turning into someone like the 'Black Saint.' The best option is to devour him before he gets too powerful."

"."

Lu Ze gritted his teeth, trying not to make a sound, and exerted even more force in his palm, further merging his body with the other person's!
"Help me, I don't want this to continue!"

He could clearly feel the turmoil within the other person's flesh and blood—a physical reaction that only occurs in extreme despair. Even so, he couldn't stop!

Quickly finish this guy off, regain your senses, and then leave with the characteristics of the "Black Knight."
Lu Ze kept telling himself this, using it to encourage himself.

"Help me, help me!"

The [Luze] below is crying, giving up resistance, and making a plea to the incomprehensible air, something the original [Luze] would never do.

He sobbed as he said:

"Help me, Cecilia."

"boom!"

Lu Ze's mind was buzzing, as if he had been hit hard with a hammer.

"Shut up!"

He, who had maintained a tense expression, suddenly roared in fury, "I forbid you to call her name!"

"Crack!"

With red eyes, he grabbed Lu Ze's jaw on the ground and crushed his jawbone!

"She's already saved you once! She's already saved you once! What else do you want? Do you want her to die again?!"

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Lu Ze no longer knew what his emotions were. They contained anger at his own cowardice and the pain he endured, all twisted and mixed together, turning into self-loathing and hatred.

"Hahahaha!"

A loud laugh emanated from within him, and Medici seemed to find it amusing.

"calm."

M's attempts to comfort him were completely useless. Lu Ze simply activated his ability almost instinctively, completely devouring the last part of his split personality.

"Crack."

A crisp cracking sound reached his ears. Luze opened his eyes and found himself standing in a fog-shrouded square, with Leomaster's corpse not far beside him.

He seemed to be in a dream just now.

The mirror still hung in the air, but this time, his reflection did not split apart again.

Lu Ze stared intently at his gloomy and desperate reflection in the mirror.
