Chapter 552 Chapter 550 "Who Killed the Raven in the Tower?"

"——What the hell is this! What is this white thing!!" Someone fired a shot, but there was no feedback.

"——All defensive equipment is useless against him! Even the submachine gun was cut off by him!"

"—This man is a monster! A monster! Run!"

They screamed and ran, in a panic.

Facing this group of outsiders who tried to start a virus war, Su Mingan didn't have a good face like Zhao Weidong.

The extreme contrast between good and evil in human nature is extremely obvious in these two groups of people.

When he was about to chop off a man's head, a middle-aged man with a shaggy beard plopped down on his knees and began to cry and confess, just like the three-piece set of sinners who confessed and redeemed in a detective film:

"——Please! Please, let me go, don't kill me, we are all for this world, we just want peace..."

Seeing this person's appearance, Su Mingan laughed, and the blade kept falling from his hand.

"Shh!"

The middle-aged man's head rolled to the ground, with fear in his eyes, Su Mingan flicked the blade, drawing a crescent-shaped bloodstain on the ground.

"That's what you said to an innocent girl with purple hair." Su Mingan said to the corpse, "—'for world peace'."

——But when they stabbed the scalpel at her,
—Have you ever heard her cry?
He put away his knife and continued to walk towards the underground laboratory. The white tentacles were like giant pythons, dragging people into pieces. This cruel way of death shocked a large number of researchers who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they fled out crying.

The further he went down, the more he seemed to be able to hear a girl crying for help. The girl who had been longing for sleep and afraid of pain seemed to be saying to him from a distance——

……

【You finally came to save me. 】

……

Su Mingan remembered that Yuan Shuangshuang died at night, if the current time is daytime...

The door of the underground laboratory was unlocked, he chopped down the guard and kicked open the door——

Twisted, off-white pipes spread all around, and in the center of the field of vision was a familiar, clean white bed tied with pipes.

"Drip, drip."

The beating broken line display was still making crisp sounds, one sound at a time, maintaining the girl's meager life.

The purple-haired girl was lying quietly on the bed with the diary lying in her hand. Her body was already filled with tubes, and her body was covered with spots and broken skin. Her limbs were as thin as shriveled spider legs.

...but her eyeballs are still moving.

He saw her alive.

But what stopped Su Mingan was a black-haired young man sitting beside her bed, who was reading a story to her.

"—'We must firmly believe in the world of revelation, even if all the angels in the kingdom of heaven come down to tell me that things are different, I will not doubt that I believe in every syllable of the words, but will close my eyes and ears , because they are not worth my seeing or listening to.'”

The expression of the young man is gentle and not depressed. He sits in an elegant posture, leans forward slightly, and slowly flips the book on his knees. His gesture is friendly and not offensive:

"'All faithful believers have the ability to close their eyes and ears, and dismiss things that are 'not worth seeing or hearing', and the reason why they can stand firm is also derived from this...'"

He was reading and suddenly closed the book.

"Luther's words may explain the reason why you people have fallen to this point." Su Rin turned her head and looked at Su Ming'an who was standing at the door: "Are you surprised, why am I faster than you?"

He was sitting by the hospital bed, very close to Yuan Shuangshuang.

"There are several generations of Su Lin in Playa, so it's not surprising that you have a skill similar to a clone." Su Mingan said.

"..." Su Lin smiled.

Seeing Su Mingan approaching, Yuan Shuangshuang's eyes flickered slightly, wondering who he was and why he came here.

She turned her head to the side, revealing the extremely short hair that was shaved for the convenience of the experiment.

She didn't seem to want to be seen, her body shrank subconsciously, but she couldn't move, and could only make a slight cracking sound.

……

【...My face is covered with broken skin, my legs are also black, it doesn't look good, and the spots on my body are disgusting... I really don't look any different from a monster, right? 】

……

[Xiao Ai suddenly said, I don't have to insist anymore, I can have a good sleep. 】

……

"You...are...who?" She said, "Are you... Xiao Ai? Did you come...to let me sleep?"

"I'm not Xiao Ai." Su Mingan said.

"Su Ming'an, let's make a deal." Su Rin put her hand on the book cover: "You and Xiboer each have [energy], right? Since you both have energy, give me a share. As Exchange, I will not prevent you from obtaining the authority of the black crow. In this way, both of us can satisfy the three elements of becoming gods—we can become gods together.”

His hand moved forward slightly, and moved closer to Yuan Shuangshuang's arm embroidered with crows, which was her black crow authority.

He's threatening this.If Su Mingan doesn't agree to him, he might kill her and forcibly seize her Black Crow authority.

"If you want to become a god so much, you want to stay in Qiongdi?" Su Mingan said.

"How is it possible." Su Lin smiled: "I just want to see the strength of the gods in this world."

Su Mingan glanced at Siber, wanting to hear her thoughts.

Sibel's eyes moved slightly.

"Okay, you can take my energy." She said to Su Rin, "Come out with me, this basement is too narrow to hand over."

"Can I trust your character, No. [-] player?" Su Rin looked at Su Ming'an: "She didn't want to trick me out and give you the chance to become a god first, right?"

"...you go." Su Mingan said.

He doesn't know what Siber is going to do, she should have her own thinking.

Su Lin and Xi Boer left.

Just as Su Mingan was about to speak, he saw Yuan Shuangshuang closed his eyes.

"It's so noisy, you guys." She said, "That man named Su Rin... kept reading me stories that I didn't understand, and I said I didn't want to hear them anymore. Same……"

Su Mingan always felt that Yuan Shuangshuang's comments seemed familiar, as if someone had said the same about him...

"I'm so sleepy, I'm so sleepy..." Yuan Shuangshuang blinked: "Just now, there was a lot of movement outside, and I heard screams. What... did you do?"

"No one will come to persecute you anymore, those researchers are no longer here," Su Mingan said.

She let out a sigh of relief, and smiled on her immature, skin-filled little face, as if she was relieved.

"Then you...you saved us, you are a good person." She moved her eyelashes: "good person, can you promise me...from now on, there will be no more children like me, so painful...is that okay?"

"..."

"Sure enough, still, can't you?" As she spoke, she suddenly vomited blood.

"I really want...I really want to wear more skirts, I really want to eat chicken wings...but I can't wear any clothes anymore, I throw up when I eat..."

"..."

"I don't care about world peace, I'm just so sleepy, so sleepy...it hurts...I just don't want to be called a 'monster', but in the end...it seems like I really became a monster.

Is it us people from the vault, who are monsters... or, those researchers, who forced us to become... monsters? "

She took a breath, and looked at him with a pair of eyes that were full of red silk but looked extraordinarily clear.

The halo of the room fell on her pale face, like dancing on colorful glass.

In her, deformity seems to have become a kind of beauty.This contrast between appearance and interior is like intertwined ice and fire, the deformed dry bones and her rotting flesh are mixed together, intertwined and contrasted.

Such a child is as simple as a piece of paper.

——What is it that portrayed such a blank paper into a monster-like appearance?

Yuan Shuangshuang stared at him.

She seemed to be sweeping everything into her eyes, remembering the last scene before her eyes.

She looks at the world so greedily.

After a while, she closed her eyes little by little.

"Good night." Su Mingan said.

"...good night." She said softly.

This person doesn't dislike her as a monster, and even talks to her, which is different from the person who broke in for no reason and read her a long story.

Although I don't know who the person in front of the bed is, he is very gentle.

I hope that children like her can meet such a gentle person in the future,
It doesn't have to be like her.

Too bitter.

too painful.

……

[I don't understand what "death" is. 】

[Close your eyes, it won't hurt, is there anything better than this? 】

……

Her time has come.

The time of her death was exactly the same as that recorded in her diary, exactly.

With her eyes closed, she was more beautiful than when she was alive, and the blood at the corner of her mouth was like red wine spilled.

The blood-colored crow on her arm turned into a bracelet, floating in the air like sparkling gems.

……

[(Yuan Shuangshuang) is dead. 】

【You can get (Black Crow Authority)】

……

Perhaps Xiao Ai gave Su Mingan a chance, and she didn't come to grab power.

This is his last step away from Baishen.

Su Mingan reached out to the authority of the black crow, but was stopped by a hand.

The one who stopped him was Xi Boer who rushed back. Her face was obviously much older, her white hair was dry, her skin was wrinkled, and even her lips looked shriveled.

Obviously, she did not choose to give her energy to Su Rin.

"You... sacrificed your vitality again?" Su Mingan said.

"I can't let a guy who doesn't trust me become a god." Siber said: "In order to beat him away, I can only do this. It doesn't matter, this reincarnation is coming to an end, and my vitality will return."

"Is he dead?"

"Not dead. He said 'repaying you for respecting the Knights of Playa Light' and disappeared," she said.

"He really said that?" Su Mingan said, "I hope he didn't hold back his big move. If he can get to the end of the dungeon safely, I will happily write him a thank you letter."

Xi Boer didn't answer this topic, she moved her eyes, staring at the authority of the black crow floating on Yuan Shuangshuang's body.

She stared fixedly at this authority, as if her eyes were stuck to a hot iron.

"Su Ming'an, I can see that you are not a good person, your concept of good and evil is quite vague..." She said: "People like you can become Baishen after meeting the conditions, so the gods we have always believed in ...what the hell is it?"

In this last moment,

She actually asked exactly the same question as Chief Feng back then.

Her and her brother's way of thinking, which had been separated for a long time, was suddenly similar at this moment.

"—It doesn't matter whether it's a righteous god or an evil god who protects people, doesn't it?" Su Mingan said:
"—Wake or sleep, calm or crazy, does it matter? Our existence is more justified than any reason. The distinction between good and evil, the oldest and the most illusory, nothing is important.

Maybe we have already gone crazy, just like a few days ago, we have already fallen into a beautiful illusion, thinking that we have successfully come here, including reincarnation is all our imagination, but so what?

Weak people, hopeless people, greedy people, selfish people... can do nothing about many things, all they can do is self-comfort, what they are looking for is the freedom of the soul, and no regrets at the end, not a 'Perfect' ending. "

"Siber," he went on, "—we have achieved, all that we can, all."

Sibel raised her eyelids.

She just shook slightly, and the tears that had been accumulated for a long time since seeing the end of the world fell down.

There was a slight hoarse sound in her throat, but she couldn't say a word, her fingers moved, and her whole body was shaking.

——Just living freely is enough.

- We just need to live.

She slowly let go of Su Ming'an's arm, and that wrinkled, slightly weathered face was filled with a smile.

Tears welled up.

For this world, she was scarred,

But tears filled his eyes and blood filled his chest.

"No matter how kind or malicious they are—" She stared into Su Mingan's eyes, as if seeing her own reflection.

She said word by word, slowly——

"—or how to treat us as 'heretics'?"

……

……

According to legend, during the time of Charles II, the Tower of London was overrun with ravens.

There was an ancient prophecy—[Once the raven flies away, the Tower of London will collapse and England will suffer bad luck. 】

The successive Gran monarchs regarded the raven as a symbol of the prosperity and decline of the country.To ensure that they become permanent residents of the Tower of London, the ravens had some of their flight feathers clipped to avoid the fulfillment of the prophecy.

The ravens whose flight feathers have been cut off cannot travel far. They live in the tower all day long and become victims of the tourism industry.

Then, in the vault,

—Who killed the raven in the tower?

Is it the curser who is driven by the desire to survive, the castle researcher who is obsessed with profit, the kind outsider who does bad things with good intentions, the tribal patriarch who tries to cover up the truth, or the god who wants to destroy the soul to change the era?

Or...

Those who are good at rejecting 'heterogeneous', refusing to accept 'rationality', those who clip their own feathers, human beings themselves?
Those who have to wear the shackles are the top players who seem to be "unstable",

Or are they ordinary people on the verge of madness?
—Who killed the raven in the tower?

—Who killed man himself?
