Siren Blade

Chapter 229 Farewell to Pearl Dark
Zhu An secretly betrayed me by using the precognitive dream ceremony as a bait, and I don't have any resentment about this matter itself; on the contrary, after realizing that she still hasn't let go of her hatred for me, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart.

At the same time, she tried her best to complete her revenge without affecting the situation between the security bureau and the eve.Assuming her plan goes well, it won't affect anyone other than me in the end; and even if there is an accident, it just didn't kill me.

Rather, it was because of an accident that the Dawn Dream Campaign, which was destined to defeat the Security Bureau in the original future, would succeed in turn.So I didn't plan to report her framing me.

However, Zhu An was still arrested on the charge of betraying the Security Bureau.

The person who reported her was not me, but herself.

The motive was quickly clarified. Zhu An's original plan was to report herself to the Security Bureau after betraying me.In addition, just as Baiju has a way to monitor whether I in the real world activate the precognitive dream ceremony from the dawn dream, Pearl Dark, as the mastermind behind the scenes, also has the remote confirmation method obtained from Baiju.When she confirmed that I had activated the precognitive dream ceremony, she took out the evidence materials prepared in advance, spent some time saying goodbye to her relatives and friends, and then surrendered with the evidence materials.

Because the matter is of great importance, and it also involves me, a newly promoted super main force, the matter of how to judge Zhu An has received the attention of many camps.

At present, it is divided into two opinions: one is that Zhu An colluded with the enemy to betray his own super main-level warlock when the enemy is in front of him. Even if he surrendered himself, the crime is too great, and he should be sentenced to death as an example;

The other is to take into account that Pearl Dark not only did not cause any casualties or losses, but also reversed the battle that was doomed to fail into a great victory because of the blessing of misfortune, and the execution of those who surrendered is not without disadvantages in terms of scaring others. , so the death penalty should be commuted to life imprisonment.

The Security Bureau's attitude towards traitors has always been very cold, while the forces that advocate execution are mainly in the legal camp.Jade Bird told me that apart from not wanting to appease traitors, the legal camp also wanted to speak out for me, a "member of the legal camp"; I tend to be annoying, maybe those people will try to commute Zhu An's sentence in the future, thinking that it will make me even more unhappy.

However, if I take the initiative to stand up and push things in the direction of death, the current debate will disappear.Again, the position of the Security Bureau is not justice and fairness, but the interests of super-main-level warlocks and great warlocks. Even maintaining the order of the hidden world is actually a part of this interest.I don't have any management position in the headquarters and the power derived from it, but the power enough to kill others still falls into my palm invisibly.

And I actually don't want Zhu An to be executed just like that, because I think her killing intent towards me is correct.

She is currently being held temporarily in a Security Service prison on the outskirts of the capital.

Before going to visit the prison, I reported to Jade Bird and asked for her permission.

Afterwards, I met Zhu An in the visiting room.

According to the procedures of the secular society, she should not stay in such a place before the official judgment is handed down.It's just that the security bureau didn't pay much attention to this aspect. Now that her crime has been confirmed, she was locked up here in advance.In their view, the next step is nothing more than the difference between continued detention and immediate execution.However, she hasn't changed into her prison uniform yet, but is still wearing her private clothes, the black gauze dress she wore when she first met me.

She looked much gaunter and seemed to have lost weight even more.It can also be said to have a morbid beauty, but for the person concerned, this kind of beauty based on physical and mental health is not better.Fortunately, there were no traces of abuse on her body. At the same time, in order to prevent her from using the space transfer spell to escape, her hands were bound by special restraints.

And behind her stood two guard warlocks holding standard weapons, and they looked at me with eyes mixed with guard and fear.

"I want to talk to her alone," I told them.

"Isn't this in compliance with the regulations?" One of them said reflexively.

The other person elbowed him under the ribs, and quickly said to me: "We understand, please feel free."

I looked at them without saying a word.The person who questioned me at first seemed to be frightened by his reflexive words, but after being reminded by his partner, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and quickly repeated his partner's words, and then retreated together.It always feels like they've misunderstood something, but that's not important.

Zhu An glanced at the closed door at the back, and then said to me, "Why are you still alive? No, that's not important...Since you're still alive, you must already know what I did to you."

"Just as you imagined, I despicably deceived you, and pretended to have forgiven what you did to my husband, and even as if I had genuine affection for you, an enemy, shamelessly disposing of my body Put your lips on it, so that you can completely let go of your guard against me." She continued, "Because I don't have the strength to kill you, so I can only cooperate with Baiju. I will betray the Security Bureau, for There is only one thing, and that is to let you die."

"I know." I said.

"Then why did you come to see me? Is there something else you don't understand? Or is it because you are really moved by me and never forget me?" She taunted coldly, "Even in this prison I can also hear that the Security Bureau has identified you as a newly promoted super main-level warlock. Also, you have the power to defeat even the blood-biting one, so it is reasonable to be recognized like that. The taste of power It must be very beautiful. Those two guards are obviously not your subordinates, but they can only obey you. How do you plan to exercise your power next? You want to get rid of me, a female prisoner who has no resistance Did you start on me? I have become a piece of fish on your chopping board, I can only be manipulated by you as you like, life or death is only at your whim."

"There's nothing I don't really understand, I just want to come and have a look at you." I turned a deaf ear to her ridicule behind me, but answered her previous question first, and said, "But if you have to ask, it's not There is no problem. That night, I fell asleep in your room, and you obviously had the opportunity to transfer me to the bed, why didn't you take advantage of that opportunity to do something to me?"

Without summoning the Siren Blade, my physical defense is actually only at the level of an ordinary warlock.Although Zhu An is not good at fighting, she can still cut off my head with that red long knife if I am not defending myself.

Of course, even if she really wanted to do something to me, I would most likely wake up early under her killing intent.There is also a [-]% probability that I have long been accustomed to her unconscious killing intent, so I failed to wake up in time—and even then, there are still sirens watching the changes in the outside world, who can serve as an alarm and a warning for me. Arousal effect.

Zhu An didn't know about this, she really just watched me fall asleep, then put me on the bed in her own room, took off my coat, shoes and socks, and covered me with a quilt.

Although according to Siren, after I fell asleep, Zhu An once showed a terrifying attitude that made people suspect that she had a serious mental illness, but it is also true that she did not do anything in the end.

Zhu An was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, I have seriously considered whether I should really forgive you, so I want to take a closer look to see if you are really as innocent as the rumors say."

I continued, "And then you found out I wasn't innocent."

"No, I think you are really a good person." She said, "And I thought that as long as I judged you to be a good person, I might be able to let go of my hatred and forgive you. Because if it was him, he would definitely do that, so I also It has to be done."

"But I was wrong, and I can't forgive you even more." She lowered her head, her face was covered by bangs, and a cursing voice came out from under the shadow, "How can you really be a good person?"

"But I'm not really a good guy," I said. "Do you remember what I said before? I have a nasty lust for Bite. If you haven't seen it, I'm chasing Bite into the Ruins of Chaos And after defeating her, I did very evil things to her. Isn't that enough to prove that I am an evil person?"

If even this is not enough proof, then how far do I have to go before she and Qingniao will scold me for my evil nature?

If no one came to scold me, wouldn't it appear that I really looked like a brainwashed victim?
I'm not a strong-willed person, and over time, I'm terrified that I'll really believe that I'm just an innocent victim, and that "it" is all wrong.

"I always knew that you were not at fault. You were just unlucky enough to encounter a monster on your heroic journey into the mountains to find a female classmate more than five years ago, and then your mind was distorted by that monster, and you were also distorted. I lost my original life, and even had indelible sequelae.” Zhu said to herself, “But my husband was chopped up by you and fed to that monster like a livestock, but you can act like a serious Law enforcement warlocks grope for the path of heroic sacrifice for themselves. Why? I also learned the truth about the monster from Baiju. Destroying it will only lead to greater disasters, and the body hidden inside it is absolutely indestructible It is more similar to some kind of disaster or phenomenon than a living thing, without any emotion, not even life, and doubts about whether it has consciousness, let alone take responsibility for its own sins... But, someone has to be responsible Bar?"

"My original plan was to die myself after killing you. I turned myself in just to give others an explanation. I didn't expect Baiju to miss..." While speaking, she looked into my eyes, "Don't you hate me?"

"I don't hate you." I said, "Although it may sound like an excuse to you, if my life is not related to other people's lives, I should pay my life to you as compensation."

Hearing this, she was silent again, and looked at me with eyes that I couldn't understand, and then said: "Actually, there are more reasons why I want to kill you... I'm really afraid of you."

"Are you afraid of me?" I asked.

"Yes, I'm afraid. The short time I've been with you has made me realize that I can't just sit back and watch you live indifferently." She said, "Otherwise, sooner or later, I will become an unknown person that I can't even imagine. Shameful woman."

"I don't understand what you mean." I tried to figure out what she was thinking.

"Why can't you understand my feelings?" She asked back, "Besides being brainwashed, you must have violated Biting Blood because you had the same feelings as me, didn't you?"

I did want to violate Bite once, but that's all in the past.As it turns out, the only reason why I feel that Bite has a similar anthropomorphism to "it" is because I have been hallucinated.

Suddenly, I remembered.Zhu An once said that I have some similarities with her dead husband.I even played couples with her when the situation forced me to.Does she mean that she sees a phantom of her husband in me, just as I see a phantom of "it" in Biting Blood?
"Let's kill Biting Xue as soon as possible." Zhu An continued, "Otherwise, sooner or later you will become someone you can't stand."

"I'm not interested in biting blood anymore." I responded, but her words still echoed in my mind.

Although the process by which she arrived at the conclusion was wrong, the conclusion itself was correct.I must kill Bite Blood as soon as possible, otherwise, I will definitely become unable to bear myself anymore.

"Really, it seems that she doesn't meet your expectations..." Zhu An seemed to be envious, and continued, "May I ask you one more thing at the end?"

"Go ahead." I replied.

"It's just giving me the last bit of dignity." She actually showed pleading intentions, "This is the last conversation between you and me. Please, it really can only be the last time. From now on, please Never see me again."

"Why?" I asked, but she kept silent.

I had no choice but to agree first, "I understand, I will do this."

She was not at ease, and repeatedly confirmed, and I repeatedly agreed.

Finally, she was completely at ease.

Visiting hours are almost over.I opened the door of the visiting room and went outside, and the two guards were standing outside.The soundproofing effect of the visiting room is only average, and it’s not impossible for them to eavesdrop on the conversation between Zhu An and me, but I didn’t feel that they had focused their attention before, probably because they didn’t want to cause me to misunderstand.

I closed the door and said to the two of them: "Go and tell your superiors, I will come again in the future, don't let me know that she was treated badly in prison."

The two looked at each other, and then agreed with a tacit attitude.

I don't want Zhu An to die alone in prison, but if she is to be released by force, even she herself will not accept it.During the conversation, I felt that she even had intermittent hatred towards me, which shows that her mood is indeed very unstable, and maybe she also needs to be quiet for a while.

She asked me not to see her again, probably because she didn't want to continue to see the phantom of her husband in me, the enemy who killed her husband.But even if it is really what I imagined, it is just a temporary infatuation.Her husband was supposed to be a really good guy, and I was, after all, a hopelessly bad guy.I believe she will realize this soon and wake up from the nightmare on her own.

Then, sooner or later, I would go see her again.

I believe that by then, she will be able to pick up her hatred for me again.
