Oring Hunter

"Yechen, you said, you enjoyed the life of these few years very much..."

"When I heard this sentence, I was very happy and very angry."

"Why am I happy?"

"That's because you didn't live like a frog in a well in that cold and barren land, but spent a fulfilling and wonderful time in a prosperous, prosperous, and developed human society."

"And that's exactly what I want to see."

"At the same time, why am I angry?"

"That's because, just now, you gave up all of this with your own hands."

After hearing this, Yechen's expression changed dramatically, and his originally calm state of mind caused countless turbulent waves.

Lyle got up slowly, facing the colorful light pouring down from the flower window, walked slowly, walked all the way to Yechen, and looked down at the "apprentice" with shaky eyes in front of him.

Yechen's eyes flickered a few times, then slowly raised his face, and looked at the person standing in front of him again.

It was a vicissitudes of face with half bright and half dark.

into the eyes of youth.

Look into the eyes of youth.

There is a bit of anger mixed in the profundity, as if the young man has done something important wrong.

So, at this moment, the emotion called "déjà vu" suddenly burst out in Yechen's heart.

Many years ago, he and his teacher seemed to have had several "unfriendly" exchanges in the prayer hall of this old church...

The change in the atmosphere in front of him made Ye Chen feel incredible.

At the same time, Lyle was condescending with a cold tone.

"I have seen all your previous behaviors in reality."

"It is true that you are very calm and tenacious. There were almost no mistakes in the whole process, and all accidents were successfully overcome."

"These aspects are worthy of praise."

"However, what really disappointed me was..."

"Your motive, and, your purpose."

"Yechen..."

"From the very beginning, you didn't fight with the idea of ​​'surviving'."

"All your previous actions, all plans, were all carried out with the goal of 'destroying the enemy together'."

"This approach is like treating yourself as a tool that can be thrown away when it is broken, a weapon that can be blunted and thrown away."

"Tell me, Yechen..."

"Why are you so indifferent to your own life?"

"From childhood, what I taught you is not to 'kill the prey', but to 'kill the prey alive'."

"Since when did you gradually deviate from this principle?"

Chapter 1052 Who Are You?

Faced with Lyle's sudden change of attitude and the sudden questioning, Ye Chen immediately fell into a long period of sluggishness.

"..."

"I……"

"I……"

Afterwards, after a long while of silence and blocked words, Ye Chen's expression was finally shaken, and he gave his answer in a resentful tone.

"That's because... I... have no other choice."

"I don't know what the abyss that has been lurking in my body is..."

"However, I understand that its power and vitality are beyond my imagination."

"Facing an enemy of this level, if I don't have the determination to die, it is impossible for me to defeat it."

"Teacher...if I don't do this..."

"There is no way to defeat the abyss."

After hearing Yechen's explanation, Lyle replied coldly:

"However, if you are dead, how can you say victory?"

"If you can survive..."

"So, what's the point of not being able to defeat the abyss?"

After hearing this, Yechen's pupils dilated and his expression froze.

"Ugh……?"

He couldn't believe what his ears had just heard.

"If I can't win the abyss..."

"Then, I will completely lose my consciousness, my body will become a puppet of the abyss, and my soul will be enslaved by the abyss..."

"How can such an end be better than death?"

Lyle continued to answer without changing his expression:

"What if you could be a special case?"

When Ye Chen heard this, his eyes froze.

"special case?"

Lyle nodded slightly.

"That's right, a special case."

"If you're not like the other castaways, even after losing to the abyss, you can maintain your consciousness in a certain corner of the spiritual level, and even live in an ideal world that belongs to you and everything goes well, From then on, we will forever cut off all disturbances from the outside world..."

"So, Ye Chen, what do you think about this?"

Yechen's eyes immediately showed confusion.

"Teacher, what are you talking about?"

"Even if that's the case...it can only change my personal experience, and it can't interfere with the abyss in reality at all."

"After that, the body I left behind in reality will be used as the most perfect tool for invading the Holy Light Pure Land, and will eventually bring a devastating blow to the Holy Light civilization."

"At that time, all human beings, the entire world, may be completely destroyed because of my failure."

"How could I accept such a ridiculous result?"

Lyle heard this, closed his eyes, and sighed softly.

"Ugh……"

"To sum it up, you've always died for others and never put yourself first."

"Is this the principle you uphold?"

Ye Chen replied firmly:

"To be precise, I did this for myself."

"After all, compared to the outcome of death, the outcome of surviving alone with prey rampant...is more difficult for me to accept."

"So, teacher, I'm sorry."

"You worked so hard to raise me up, gave me all the skills, and sent me to the Holy Light Pure Land to enjoy a fulfilling life..."

"However, in the end, I voluntarily gave up all of this and failed your hard work in the past..."

"I'm really sorry and really ashamed about that."

"But... Even so, I have no regrets."

"If you let me go back to the previous point in time..."

"I will still make the same choice!"

"Because I, Yechen, am actually such a selfish person!"

"This is a fact that no matter how much you scold me or beat me, you will never change it!"

"Students are unfilial..."

"Please forgive me!"

Words full of perseverance and sincerity resounded through the entire prayer hall.

At the same time, Ye Chen even bowed his head to Lyle, bowing and apologizing.

However, from beginning to end, he did not mean to admit his mistake.

Just because Yechen didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all.

old days...

It is the same today!

Facing Yechen's unwavering attitude, Lyle was silent for a while, then stepped sideways, walked slowly past Yechen, and commented earnestly:

"I knew you would answer that way."

"At the same time, I also know that no matter how much I reprimand you, you will always make similar choices."

"Your youth was like this..."

"It was the same in your youth..."

"Your style, your approach, your concept, your principle..."

"All this, from the very beginning, I have foreseen."

Yechen was stunned, looked up in a daze, and watched Lyle walking past him in surprise.

"After all, it's in your nature."

Lyle spoke while walking.

"However, this is a good thing, Yechen."

"Because, if you are really the kind of ruthless and mediocre person who only wants to protect himself, your humanity will have been eaten away by the abyss step by step as early as when you were a child."

"It can be said that without the righteousness you have today, you would not be able to enjoy the life of 'Ye Chen' for more than 20 years."

Faced with another sudden reversal of Lyle's attitude, Yechen's expression was dull, and he was speechless for a while.

"..."

"teacher……"

"You, you in the end..."

With his back turned to Yechen, Lyle continued to sigh softly with a calm tone:

"While I have reprimanded you and I have snapped at you on more than one occasion...yet these actions are really just ripples in the butterfly effect."

"They don't make much sense, but they are indispensable, so even if I already know the result, I still have to act like I don't know."

"Only in this way, time and cause and effect will not deviate from the right track, and everything can move smoothly to the end I set for you."

Hearing this, Yechen, who was full of confusion and confused face, couldn't help but burst out after all.

"Teacher, what are you talking about—!?"

"If you are my fantasy before dying, how can you discuss these things with me that I have never heard of before—!?"

"If you are the illusion that the abyss is using to confuse me, then why didn't you continue what you just said, why didn't you continue to encourage me to accept the abyss—!?"

"teacher……"

"What the hell is this place—!?"
