Chapter 467 Lawrence...You Lied to Me
Chapter 467 Lawrence...You Lied to Me
Sandrine fell into a long silence. He could never have imagined that the position he had been dreaming of day and night had already been assigned to him by Lawrence.
This huge contrast made him feel like everything was an illusory dream, so unreal.
"I still find it a little hard to believe—"
Before he could finish his words, Lawrence interrupted him:
"Sandrina..."
Lawrence opened his eyes slightly and parted his lips, as if he was trying his best to use up his last bit of strength.
"Do you know how indecisiveness is a fatal flaw for a person in power..."
"Stop being so indecisive and hesitant."
Every word Lawrenson said was like a hammer, hitting Sandrine's heart hard.
Sandrine woke up suddenly. He looked at Lawrenson, who was about to run out of energy and die. His eyes were filled with shock, confusion, and realization, which were difficult to discern.
He was silent for a few seconds, as if he had finally made up his mind, and walked forward slowly, each step being particularly heavy.
"That's right..." Lawrence looked at Sandrine who was approaching step by step, his eyes full of relief and satisfaction.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile.
In his last moments before death, he uttered these words:
"I know that this is a frivolous decision and it was made by me alone."
"But I had no choice. It was a huge gamble."
"You must remember...the greatest fatal flaw for those in power is indecision."
"The Kongmeng Empire will be handed over to you from now on..."
At this point, he raised his eyes slightly and looked into Sandrine's eyes. His voice became lower and lower, and his lips moved a few times:
"Please....Laurentson."
.......
Memories of the past surged in Sandrine's mind like a tide.
At this moment, he was lying on the hospital bed, looking haggard and dying, just like Lawrence who was about to die that year. It was as if time had passed and the trajectory of their fate was surprisingly similar.
"Gu Yeming..."
His lips trembled slightly, and his voice was hoarse and weak:
"I fulfilled the decision that I should have made as a person in power, but I personally destroyed the lives of most of the human race. I could only watch them die miserably."
At this point, a trace of pain and guilt flashed in his eyes:
“After I die, should I go to hell?”
Gu Yeming was silent for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "Probably."
"Yeah... probably."
Sandrine's eyes became increasingly cloudy, with the whites of her eyes almost occupying the entire eyeballs, making her look empty and lifeless.
He seemed to be lost in some memories, or perhaps lamenting his own fate.
"Do you want to be the ruler of a country?"
Suddenly, Sandrine asked the same question as Lawrence had asked, with a hint of elusiveness in her voice.
"Do not want to."
Gu Yeming refused without any hesitation, his tone revealing a kind of indifference and disdain towards power.
"Hahaha... That's right. How could someone like you be bound by these material possessions?"
Sandrine did not show any surprise. He laughed softly a few times, with a hint of self-mockery and relief in his laughter.
Then, he used all his strength to turn his head and look at Gu Yeming who was sitting beside the bed, his eyes full of earnestness.
"Can I ask you a few questions?" He paused and added:
"Just consider it as your final mercy to me, a chess piece that is about to be eliminated."
Gu Yeming looked at Sandrine calmly and said in a deep voice, "Go ahead."
"Are you really from the future...?"
Sandrine's eyes were full of curiosity and desire. He was eager to know the answer, as if it was the key to solving the mystery in the last moments of his life.
However, Gu Yeming did not respond, and the surroundings fell into dead silence.
"Did you expect those bugs to appear?" Sandrine did not give up and continued to ask, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
There was another silence, with only the faint ticking of the instruments in the ward, as if counting down the seconds for Sandrine's fading life.
"Blue technology...what will happen in the end?" Sandrina's voice became weaker and weaker, his body was constantly weakening, but his eyes still flashed with obsession with the unknown.
Gu Yeming still looked at him quietly without uttering a word.
"Is that so..." Sandrine smiled bitterly. Although Gu Yeming did not give a clear answer from beginning to end, he seemed to have understood the answer from this silence.
He slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the mirror beside him that was already covered with a little dust.
In the mirror, Lawrenson's image was reflected, which was the identity he had once dreamed of and eventually replaced.
He looked at himself in the mirror, his voice getting quieter and quieter, as if he was talking to a long-dead ghost:
"It's not easy to be a person in power.... It's a lifelong responsibility."
"Laurentson..."
"You lied to me."
The last few words sounded like a cry from him, using up his last bit of strength.
Then he slowly closed his eyes, and the only sound in the room was the monotonous and cold sound of the instrument.
he died.
When people leave, the tea is cool.
