A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 708 This Is Not a Remuneration

Mexico, Isla Mara.

The scene where the thousand-meter-tall Balrog turned into a volcano again aroused the enthusiasm of the citizens.

They may be afraid of a thousand-meter-high Balrog giant, but they will definitely not be afraid of a silent thousand-meter volcano.

Countless citizens came to the streets spontaneously, either on foot or in vehicles rushing towards the volcano, like dozens of black tributaries flowing from the land into the ocean.

Not only them, those base personnel who were sheltered also seemed extremely excited.

Except for Mark and Madison, no one seems to care about the unconscious Dr. Emma on the ground.

Madison looked at the unconscious mother with complicated eyes, and Mark stood behind her.

If all the identity and ethical concepts were discarded, Madison would definitely express his disdain for Emma's actions, but she is Emma's daughter after all, and she is still very, very loved. Anyone is qualified to treat Emma The anti-human behavior expressed contempt, but Madison did not.

Mark did have the qualifications, but in front of his daughter, he really couldn't say anything to her mother about what she deserved, so he could only sigh faintly, and stretched out his hand to rub Madison's head.

"Take her away."

The indifferent voice sounded a little abruptly.

Both Mark and Madison were taken aback, and quickly turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, only to find that the white suit appeared behind them at some point, with a brown leather suitcase in their hands, squatting on their shoulders A cute little black cat that seems to be no different from the previous one.

But neither Mark nor Madison can look at him in the same way they used to.

The reason is also very simple. The thousand-meter-high Balrog is beyond their cognition. This is definitely not the power that humans can possess...

The two looked at Lin Yi with complicated expressions and awe.

Mark glanced at the silent daughter beside him, his eyes suddenly hardened, and he looked at Lin Yi and said, "Mr. Lin, it was Emma who activated Oka while we were not paying attention. We tried to stop her, but..."

"Needless to say, I know."

Lin Yi interrupted Mark's words calmly, then looked at the unconscious Emma and said lightly: "I have seen everything you have done... Take her to the hospital, don't worry if I will Take action to kill her, she has already received the punishment she deserved."

"..."

Madison was slightly taken aback, and then couldn't help showing joy on his face.

Mark is not as naive as Madison. He thinks that it is impossible for Lin Yi to forgive Emma so easily. If he does, it can only show that the punishment Emma is receiving at this moment is more terrible than death.

Thinking of this, Mark swallowed his saliva, suppressed the palpitations and asked: "Mr. Lin, please forgive me for asking, Emma...what's wrong?"

"..."

Lin Yi glanced at Mark calmly, until Mark was terrified and his back felt chills, and then he said calmly: "It's very simple, since she woke up Raton, she will naturally have to bear the consequences."

"So, I transmitted all the fears caused by Raton's awakening to her mind, but unfortunately, her fragile heart obviously couldn't bear tens of thousands of fears, so she suddenly fell into a coma in fear. The brain's self-protection mechanism in the face of extreme emotions, from this aspect, her body is still very eager to survive."

Looking at Lin Yi who looked calm, Mark and Madison looked at each other.

Although Mark was very curious about how Lin Yi stuffed the fear of so many people into one person's head, but considering that there were more important things at the moment, Mark still suppressed his curiosity, Instead, I asked about Emma.

"So, Emma is actually okay?"

"Of course it's okay." Lin Yi glanced at the unconscious Emma indifferently, "It's just that when she wakes up, she will continue to bear the fear caused by her, until she experiences all the fears of the 680 people , she can completely pay off her sins."

"How much... how much?"

"Forty-seven thousand, six hundred and eighty three people."

Mark stared wide-eyed at Lin Yi, who looked calm, and asked quickly after recovering, "Then how much has she experienced now—I mean, how many fears will make her unconscious like she is now? Big... incontinence?"

Speaking of the last sentence, Mark couldn't help but glanced at his daughter Madison beside him.

Fortunately, Madison didn't feel embarrassed, but just looked at Lin Yi with concern.

Lin Yi quickly calculated, and immediately said with certainty: "There are probably more than 600!"

"Three thousand and six hundred?!" Mark's eyes widened, and he said in a daze after mental calculation, "So, Emma will go through this kind of coma more than a dozen times?"

"Of course not, the tolerance threshold of fear is not calculated in this way."

Lin Yi shook his head, looked at Mark and said calmly: "Mark, you should know what is the last straw that breaks the camel's back, right? After experiencing [-] fears, Emma's psychological endurance has reached its limit , Every follow-up fear is the last straw that breaks the camel's back."

"So, if you calculate according to your method, she will probably experience tens of thousands of coma."

Tens of thousands of times... A human life is only a few tens of thousands of days!

If you spend every day in a coma, what is the difference with a vegetable?
Madison stared blankly at the unconscious Emma, ​​his eyes full of complexity.

Mark opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated when he got to his mouth.

He knew that now was not the time to speak for Emma, ​​just like the murderer's relatives begging the victim's family for forgiveness at the funeral, and would get nothing but greater humiliation.

Lin Yi glanced at them indifferently, turned around and walked down the volcano, and said as he walked, "I know you are a little hard to accept, but this is the punishment she deserves. If you can't even bear these fears, then let her Be a vegetable for the rest of your life, maybe she will be more likable like this..."

"It's not my mother's fault alone, I'm also at fault!"

Madison suddenly yelled, then hurried past Lin Yi, and stopped in front of him with open arms.

Lin Yi stopped and looked down at the determined girl calmly.

"Son, do you want me to forgive your mother?"

"No." Madison shook his head and laughed at himself, "I want to do the same, but my conscience cannot allow me to be so brazen, so... I would like to ask you to allow me to share the guilt with my mother!"

Lin Yi frowned, and asked with great interest: "Have you really thought it through? That's the fear of more than 4 people. Even if you discount it in half, it will definitely exceed your psychological tolerance."

"I want to clear—"

"She didn't!"

Mark quickly covered Madison's mouth from behind, looked at Lin Yi and said sincerely: "Mr. Lin, let me do it! A large part of the reason why Emma became what she is now is because of me. I failed to protect Andrew in the battle between Godzilla and Moto, it was because I failed to be by her side after Andrew's death..."

Andrew, the son of Mark and Emma, ​​was affected by the battle between Godzilla and two Motos a few years ago, and died in the ruins of San Francisco. Emma was stimulated by this incident and made a change.

As for Mark, he chose another way, which was to quit the Emperor Organization and escape from all this.

Madison was still struggling angrily at first, but after hearing Mark's sincere confession, she struggled less and less, and finally calmed down silently, and put her hand on Mark's hand lightly by the way.

The more Mark said, the more he felt ashamed, and finally he couldn't hold it back. He looked at Lin Yi with tears streaming down his face and said, "Mr. Lin, I failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband, so let me bear the fear for her. This is the punishment I deserve!"

"..."

Lin Yi's eye muscles twitched slightly.

What's this?A family sitcom at [-]:[-] midnight?

Of course, the complaints belong to the complaints. Seeing the appearance of the father and daughter showing their true feelings, Lin Yi still showed a trace of tenderness on his face.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Yi said seriously: "Mark, I would be happy to hear your confession in another place, but let's forget it now, Emma must accept her punishment completely, neither you nor Madison can replace you She bears..."

Hearing this, Mark and Madison's expressions darkened.

But at this moment, Lin Yi suddenly said again: "Once a month, half an hour each time."

Mark and Madison were slightly taken aback, and quickly asked: "What?"

Lin Yi explained emphatically: "Once a month, I will give her half an hour to rest. During this time, she can stay awake and not be affected by fear. This is my final bottom line. If you don't accept if……"

"Accept, of course accept!"

Mark nodded quickly, for fear that Lin Yi would change his mind,

Lin Yi nodded: "That's good, let's take her to the hospital now—oh yes, remember to go to the neurology department, even though it's useless..."

After speaking, Lin Yi carried the suitcase and continued to walk, and soon disappeared from the sight of Mark and Madison.

Mark hugged Madison in his arms silently, and looked at the direction where Lin Yi disappeared complicatedly.

At this moment, Dr. Will suddenly walked over excitedly.

"Mark! Mark! The residents of Mara Island are rushing here. It seems that they plan to hold a party on the volcano, or something like a festival. I discussed it with my colleagues at the base. Celebrate, do you want to come along?"

Dr. Will's voice wakes Mark and Madison from their trance.

Mark glanced at Dr. Will in a daze, then looked past him, looking at the organizers of Base 56 behind him, and the bustling mountain road because someone was driving past.

It wasn't until this moment that Mark suddenly felt that he had returned to reality.

And everything that happened just now, including the conversation with Lin Yi, seems to be just a dream...

But... was that really a dream?
Mark looked at Madison in silence, then turned to look at Dr. Will who was looking forward to it, and said hesitantly, "Doctor, I wonder if you saw it just now..."

Dr. Will wondered, "See what?"

Mark opened his mouth, and after hesitating for a moment or two, he still couldn't say the rest, so he could only shake his head with a wry smile: "It's nothing, I am very grateful for your invitation, but I still have to take Emma to the hospital to register, so... ..."

"Oh God, Dr. Emma!" Dr. Will's eyes widened, "I actually forgot about her! Mark, what are you waiting for, hurry her to the hospital!"

Apparently, Dr. Will doesn't yet know that Emma is behind all this.

But how would he feel when he knew the truth?

Mark gave a wry smile, reached out and picked up the unconscious Emma from the ground, and then together with Madison, they lifted her body onto the off-road vehicle and started the vehicle to drive down the mountain.

At the same time, on the lava boulder next to everyone.

Lin Yi stood there calmly, holding a brown leather suitcase in one hand, covered with a gravitational field that could refract light, watching the off-road vehicle drift away along the mountain road until the off-road vehicle completely disappeared from sight. Lin Yicai turned his head, looked down at the shadow of the lava boulder and said indifferently:

"Have you heard everything?"

"heard it."

A voice full of complex emotions came from the shadows, and a translucent blond woman floated out like a ghost, looking at the mountain road in the distance with affectionate and complicated eyes, and said softly: "Once a month, half a month each time. Hours, this is all my reward for leading you."

"No, this is not a reward." Lin Yi shook his head, "This is your duty as a mother."
