Chapter 146: Choice

"BINGO!"

KP applauded in admiration, and expressed his appreciation without any reservation: "You are an excellent investigator, Ms. Ai!

Congratulations, you have solved the hidden mystery in this mod - the death of Paracelsus! "

He paused for a moment, showing a mysterious smile: "If the secret mission can be completed, I will give you an extra reward after clearing the module. Believe me, it is definitely not inferior to the fragment of the Philosopher's Stone."

In this regard, Ai Qing did not feel the slightest joy.

For this was the task that Abraham van Helsing could not escape.

——To kill this miracle completely!

In the silence, Huai Shi stared blankly at the ceiling, for a long time, looked at Lily's back who was operating the alchemy equipment, and suddenly said softly: "It would be great if I found out earlier."

Ai Qing sneered at such weakness: "Would it be easier for you to strike this way?"

"I don't know, so I can at least lie to myself—everyone who got on this ship deserved it."

"You can also lie to yourself now, this is just a game, a piece of history, even if you do anything, no one will follow the record."

"yes."

Huai Shi closed her eyes.

It's just a record, a record of the past, and it's not even really what happened, it's just a game built from the pieces of the Philosopher's Stone.

Just like he used to do in the records.

He should be used to it by now.

Just pull the trigger.

Don't care whether it's an old man or a child in front of you, they are already dead, and it has nothing to do with you... It's just a game, but you can still grow.

how wonderful.

But when Huai Shi looked at Lily's back, she didn't know what to do.

She was facing Huai Shi with her back.

defenseless.

Concentrating on adjusting the proportion of the potion in the crucible, he was focused and relaxed, as if he was in his own home, humming a song from an unknown location in his throat.

Huai Shi can almost completely conclude that this is not an illusion like a doppelganger, but a real whole.

He doesn't even need an ax.

As long as you pull out the flying knife that is close at hand, you can completely end all this.

His fingers moved.

Finally, he flinched back feebly.

"I can't do it, Ai Qing."

Huai Shi sighed in frustration, and lowered her eyes wearily: "If I kill her, I'm afraid I will become the kind of person I hate the most."

If Lili is killed here, what is the difference from the instructor who slaughtered an entire village for trivial reasons?

Where will I put myself who is angry and sad because of this?

Are you going to kill your past self?

Maybe Ai Qing will tell him that this is growth.

The so-called growth is to deny the former self.

Huai Shi never minds denying herself.

But he couldn't imagine how to face Lily who was lying in a pool of blood.

Will those pure eyes regret her trust in Huai Shi in the end? anger? sad? Or is it the tranquility of accepting everything in the end?

"If it were you, what would you do, Ai Qing?"

"I probably hesitate, just like you." Ai Qing replied calmly: "But in the end, I think I will kill her...I want to save myself, no matter what happens, I will live go down."

"..." Huai Shi was silent.

"Do you want me to give you an order, Huai Shi?"

Ai Qing asked, "It's like ordering you to save Qi Yuan's life, and ordering you to kill her—if you want, I can do it. After all, this is the relationship between us, and you are responsible for it." Action, the rest can be left to me.

The so-called censors are used to do this, so you don't have to worry about it. "

Huai Shi did not speak again.

"Then, Huai Shi, I order you."

Ai Qing made a cruel voice: "Complete your mission and kill Lily."

"Wait a moment……"

Huai Shi opened her mouth subconsciously, but at that moment she finally understood.

"Look, you only know which side you want when the coin falls."

Ai Qing sighed and lowered her eyes: "I won't give you any more orders, Huai Shi, you have to make your own decisions and face the consequences by yourself."

"But is this really good?"

Across the table, KP asked with a smile, "He doesn't even know that your life is at stake in this decision."

"No, it should be said that you have been confused a little from the beginning to the end."

Ai Qing raised her eyes to look at him: "Even if he doesn't complete his mission, as long as he can set foot on the New World, it means the module has passed the level.

If you want to live, you don't absolutely have to kill Lily. "

"It sounds true, and I don't deny your conjecture." KP shrugged: "Unfortunately, I thought you would be more straightforward and decisive... more like the person in the file I saw."

"People change all the time, don't they?"

Ai Qing asked in a cold voice: "Besides, let me force him to kill Lily—is this your purpose, KP?"

"..."

KP was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Indeed."

"From your game, I don't see fairness, at least... I don't see the fairness in your rule book."

"Ah, you need to understand this, it's like 'justice'." KP smiled ambiguously: "It will be late occasionally, but occasionally... will be absent."

"But it won't happen this time." Ai Qing stared at him and told him firmly: "Where I am, it will never happen."

"I look forward to it."

KP smiles.

He cast the dice in his hand.

The game continues.

Lily's medicine is working.

At least the large amount of tranquilizer in it is effective.

Today, Huai Shi can barely restrain the killing intent surging in her heart and carry out some weak activities, just like a patient who has been lying in bed for a long time, walk around in the narrow cabin and carry out some rehabilitation activities.

Actually not needed.

As long as there is enough blood, vampires can recover quickly, and for Lily, things like artificial plasma don't require any effort at all.

It even tastes like apples.

As for the effect, although it is a bit worse, at least it is better than nothing.

Huai Shi has recovered to six points.

But because of the chaotic thoughts and the uncontrollable killing intent in his heart, he didn't know how to face Lily. After the initial thank you, he didn't speak any more, just sat in the corner by himself, writing in the book of fate with a pen. Draw a picture and try to organize your thoughts.

But soon, he discovered that this was of no benefit to the boredom and anxiety in his heart.

Besides, there was one more thing he didn't tell Ai Qing.

Because he discovered that the stigmata of believers... are extremely similar to ghosts.

No, if you look at it in chronological order, part of the core of the ghost comes from the "believers"... It's just that the two are completely opposite.

The former selflessly shared this favor with the pure source quality infused with piety, while Huai Shi... is a negative energy generator.

And now he has become a negative energy absorber like a vampire. It's almost as if you want to go all the way to the dark on the road of the abyss...

So, the stigmata of Yinhun is an illegal vehicle made out of how many parts the crow used? No, it should be said, apart from the stigmata of believers, how many miracles are related to the abyss genealogy?

How deep is the water in the abyss lineage?

Up to now, Huai Shi is no longer the silly boy who didn't understand anything, at least he understands a little bit.

In this world, there are no miracles for no reason.

True miracles do not appear suddenly, come suddenly, and disappear suddenly.

In other words, no pedigree appears out of thin air, and must have its origin.

So, where did the abyss lineage come from? Or is the Tianwen Society really powerful enough to create a stigmata pedigree that doesn't exist at all?

This is more terrifying than Paracelsus creating an artificial human with nothing.

After all, there is only one Lily, but a pedigree can last forever and be transmitted to thousands of people. Every genealogy can be said to be the foundation of the world axis preserved by a god. Now that the gods are dead, this move by the Astronomical Society is the same as rubbing out a group of gods out of nothing, and also got the world axis recognition.

Is it possible?

The more Huai Shi thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, she rubbed her brows a little irritably, and then... noticed Lily's cautious gaze not far away.

Seemingly aware of the irritability and depression in Huai Shi's heart, she never disturbed him, but flipped through the dictionary in her hand, secretly watching him secretly.

Sensing his sight, his expression froze for a moment, and then became calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Ahem." She asked, "Are you busy?"

"No, no..."

Huai Shi shook her head, not knowing what to say to her.

But she had already moved over, curiously looking at the messy words written by Huai Shi in the book, and when she found that she couldn't understand, she looked at the graffiti that Huai Shi sketched casually in the corner in agitation.

Then I froze for a moment.

"Who is this?"

She leaned closer and looked at the mocking and arrogant face in the notes.

With just a few strokes, he vividly portrayed the indifferent and cruel eyes. He opened his mouth, as if he was about to spit out vicious words with substance.

It makes people feel uneasy.

"Well……"

Huai Shi didn't know how to explain it, but in the end she could only say, "This... this person is called Brother Wufly."

Then, Lily suddenly asked, "Beelzebub?"

"...Uh, probably." Huai Shi wiped the sweat off her brow, "He really likes letting other people eat shit."

"And what about this black man?" Lily continued. "He looks confused."

"Yes, he was confused."

Huai Shi conveniently added three question marks to the black graffiti's head.

"what about this?"

"This is a frog called PEPE."

"Why does it look so sad?"

"I don't know." Huai Shi sighed, "Maybe life is very painful."

"That's such a pity, it looks cute." Lily shook her head regretfully: "Like a little doll, but Hohenheim doesn't like it, and even threw away everything I made myself."

"Yeah?"

Huai Shi was silent for a moment, then shook her head, "He shouldn't have done this."

"Well, people probably have a bad temper when they are old, but they will regret it when they lose their temper. Apologize to me and hope that I will forgive him...but I have never been angry with him."

Lily curled up on the chair and sighed softly: "He was in panic all the time before he died, as if he was avoiding something, but he never told me. After giving me this ticket, he passed away... In the end, He won't even allow me to call him father."

"..."

In the silence, Huai Shi hesitated for a long time, and reached out to stroke her hair: "I believe, in his heart, you are more important than anything else."

"Who knows?"

Lily shook her head: "Everyone's heart is hidden in their chest, and no one will see what's inside until they die - Hohenheim told me to learn to protect myself, but I don't even know what to guard against .

How can I know what other people are hiding in their hearts? "

"yes."

Huai Shi responded dryly, feeling the almost boiling killing intent in her chest, she couldn't help but want to vomit.

Sick of my hypocrisy.

"Well, speaking of it..." He changed the subject stiffly: "How old are you this year? I mean age."

"Well, let me think about it."

Lili didn't seem to have noticed this, she lowered her head and began to write and draw quickly in the notebook. Huai Shi leaned over to take a look, and then felt a blur in front of her eyes.

In the middle of all kinds of long numerical calculations, there is actually a diagram of planetary movement... It's like re-determining the calendar, is it so hard-core even at an age!

Soon, Lily finished the calculation: "Four and a half years old."

"ha?"

Huai Shi was stunned.

Four and a half years old?

Miss, are you kidding me?

Huai Shi stared at her mature appearance in amazement, even if everyone is of different races, you should at least be an adult, right?

"Ah, my physique is different from that of ordinary people." Lily seemed to reflect it, and avoided the question a little bluntly: "You, what about you?"

"I'm seventeen." Huai Shi replied.

Lily's expression immediately turned disgusted: "It's a lie, but your bone age is already 38 years old!"

"...I can only say that it is due to various reasons."

Huai Shi sighed, feeling that she sighed more times today than in the previous year.

He had absolutely no idea how to introduce himself to Lily.

After all, he was Van Helsing now.

Abraham van Helsing.

He is the executioner of the order, the vampire hunter, the murderer who came to kill Lily...

While he was thinking, he heard Lily's cheerful voice: "Look, I've finished the drawing too!"

"What did you draw?"

Huai Shi lowered her head, and then sprayed out a mouthful of water.

Just below the title page of my dictionary, there is a vivid panda head expression, but the face is empty...

"Because I don't know what expression is better to draw." Lily scratched her hair in distress: "I feel that no matter what I draw, it can't surpass what you drew."

"..."

That's because I am the crystallization of wisdom that has gathered the blood and sweat of countless people!

How can you compare by yourself.

Being able to fight with people's emoticons in 1620 can only be said... It is a new experience that Huai Shi has never imagined.

In a mess of thoughts, he heard Lily's voice.

"Huaishi."

At some point, the girl turned to Huai Shi, blinking and blinking, full of expectation: "I just suddenly thought: why don't we go on a trip together after arriving in the New World, anyway, I don't have anything to go... You don't have anywhere to go either, do you?

And I can make plasma for you, so you don't have to worry about finding food anymore. "

Huai Shi looked at her blankly.

I don't know how to answer.

"Can't you?" Lily asked.

"No, it's fine."

Huai Shi shook her head stiffly, and asked dryly, "Is there somewhere you want to go?"

"How about Huangshi?"

Lily thought for a while and suggested, "I've always wanted to go to Yellowstone. It is said that there are many geothermal springs, lions and elephants there. How about you?"

"……have no idea."

Huai Shi lowered her eyes, her voice was a little hoarse: "I didn't think about it, so let's talk about it next time, I have to sleep for a while."

Lily froze for a moment, nodded, returned to her workbench and continued to stare at the progress of the medicine, but after a long time, she couldn't help but look back at Huai Shi who was leaning on the bed: "Am I bothering you? "

"……No."

So she breathed a sigh of relief, and asked nervously, "We are friends, right?"

"Yes." Huai Shi lowered her eyes, "We are friends."

"That would be wonderful."

Lily laughed happily, ran over like a child, and hugged him gently, Huai Shi didn't even react.

"Then go to sleep, I won't disturb you anymore." Realizing her gaffe, she took a step back and picked up her dictionary: "Ahem, let's chat again when you are free."

Huai Shi stared at him blankly for a long time, then closed her eyes.

"Oh shit……"

Looking at the defenseless girl with her back turned to her, Huai Shi reached into her arms, grabbed the dagger's cold handle, and pulled it out silently, staring at the pair of scarlet pupils reflected on the dagger's edge.

Then, he tossed the crap aside.

Fuck the church!

Fuck Van Helsing!

FUCK EVERYTHING!

old! son! No! Dry! up!

Enduring the severe pain of anger in her heart, Huai Shi raised her head, let out a breath of refreshment, and smiled: "Lily, how about I teach you how to draw a crying cat's head?"

"Yeah."

...

Around evening, there was a loud noise outside the door. After a while, someone knocked on the door lightly, asking if anyone was inside.

After they opened the door vigilantly, the person outside smiled and brought good news.

America is coming.

The speed of the ship was unbelievable for so many people dying in a riot. Not long ago, a witch who was good at astrology on a ship calculated the distance between them and America.

If we maintain this speed, we will be able to reach the New World tomorrow morning.

Freedom and liberation are available to all.

Therefore, someone proposed to hold a banquet to celebrate.

At this moment, the gloomy and depressing atmosphere on the ship has been swept away. Everyone looks beaming, with warm smiles, gentle conversation and elegant manners.

It's like being reborn.

For some reason, Huai Shi couldn't help but sink in her heart.

Yesterday's turmoil and disaster did not seem to leave any traces on the ship, and the story continued.

To develop toward the established good ending.

He lowered his head, only to see the end of the chapter slowly emerging on the Book of Fate, a line of bold characters.

【to be counted】

"What are you doing in a daze? Thank you, Brother Wufly."

Well, just kidding, here is a five-thousand-character chapter.

Sometimes I don't really want to squeeze things out to water, thank you for your tolerance and support, our story is still going on.

Please give me the monthly pass on the first day of the month! (chest proud
