Chapter 68 Farewell
Early in the morning, Zagros, accompanied by Karin, placed the ashes of the two elders in the cemetery. They didn't have many relatives here, only some elderly people, and after paying their respects, Zagros let them go back.
Zagros did not like this kind of sadness of parting, but he still felt a little heavy. Even though he was not the real Huang Jue, the love and care the two old people had for him could not be faked. Now that people are dead, it is like the extinguishing of lights. After leaving the cemetery, Zagros knew that no one would come here to pay homage to him anymore.
Kailin didn't say a word, she just drove Zagros back to her residence and saw that the house was the same as usual, except that it was less noisy.
"Boss, I'm sorry. Do you want me to move in with you?"
Zagros was also stunned. Karin really thought he was a child.
He casually brushed away the dust in the room and saw that there was only a photo of the two familiar people hanging on the wall. Fortunately, the two old men had drunk the magical wine he brewed, and they had a premonition of their imminent death.
They seemed to know that their grandson was unusual. With so many years of companionship and Zagrous not trying to hide it, how could the two old people not know? But he was their grandson anyway, so if he didn't want to say it, then don't say it. The two of them just cooperated with their grandson in acting.
On the day they knew they were leaving, the two of them took Zagros to the mall for a rare visit, and each bought him his favorite clothes. Then, smilingly, they bought Zagros many things that they normally didn't let him eat. In the evening, the family of three, with Dahei and the family photo they had just taken, sat by the river in the park, quietly looking at the water.
"Wake up."
"Ah."
"Grandpa and grandma are leaving, and you're the only one left at home. You have to take care of yourself."
"Ah."
"When we are gone, don't hang any portraits at home. Your grandma won't like it. You can hang this family portrait in our house, and it will be like the two of us are always with you. By the way, you won't be scared, will you?" Mu Cong tried his best to use a funny tone to tease his precious grandson.
"Well, I'm not afraid."
"That's good, that's good! I've discussed it with you and grandma, and I'll leave the yard to you alone. It's a pity that I won't see you graduate and go to college, but you can take care of yourself anyway. When you come of age, I'll sell the house and go out and have a look!"
"Ah."
"Hiss~ Kid, why do you speak so word by word..." Mu Cong suddenly felt a toothache, but Lin Sulan interrupted him.
"Alright, alright, stop saying things I don't like to hear. Juejue knows it yourself. Sigh~ Grandma knows that you have your own opinions, so we both feel relieved. Your mom passed away early, and the compensation she received was deposited in your own card. Grandma and grandpa still have a lot of retirement funds, which have also been deposited. Fortunately, the house has been transferred a long time ago, so you don't have to worry about it."
"You're still blaming me, but you're also so nagging. Come on, it's getting dark. Today we bought all the food Juejue likes to eat. Let's go home and cook..."
Zagros' memory stopped here. After the old couple gave him the last meal last night, they watched him finish all the rice in the pot, then smiled and held his hand. The three of them sat on the sofa watching TV until the two old men gradually closed their eyes and leaned on his shoulders and never breathed again.
The memory of that night suddenly came to Zagreus' mind the moment he saw the family photo, and a tear fell unconsciously.
Zagreus brushed his hand gently, looked at the crystal clear water droplets on his hand and murmured: "Is this tears?"
In an instant, an indescribable grief surged into his heart like a tide, as if it was about to drown him.
And at this moment, the joyful godhead in Zagreus' body suddenly began to flicker, echoing the sadness in his heart. He could clearly feel that the power in the godhead was surging, as if something was about to be awakened.
As his emotions became more and more agitated, Zagreus' body began to change. A thick black gas suddenly rose up around him. This black gas was like billowing smoke, continuously gushing out of his body.
They swirled and intertwined in the air, forming a thick black fog. The fog continued to gather and finally condensed into a pool of black mud, which fell to the ground with a "plop".
"Wait outside!"
