Chapter 784: A Different Path

readx;? Ed didn't answer. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info.. He looked at the empty pool in amazement, and it seemed that he could still see the woman who seemed to be sleeping in the water, her complexion was snow-white, and her face was as beautiful as ice and snow, and he could see her long blonde hair floating like light flowing in the water, as light as if it had life......

That's not Felicity.

It wasn't the chubby old man who was as kind as his grandmother he had never met, nor the girl he remembered walking with a high ponytail dangling behind her back, a brisk voice and a lively smile.

It wasn't Felicity at all, it was Helena Christus.

Eric wasn't lying. As he repeated to him again and again in despair, he did not lie.

Ed couldn't tell what was shattered in his heart at that moment, just as he couldn't tell what emotions he was holding for Sean at the moment. Disappointment, hatred, anger?...... In the deepest part of it all, there is still the first awe buried.

Once, a little affirmation of him could also make him ecstatic.

- "Trust Sean Raicche, he'll be the one to help you unconditionally." ”

That phrase, which he had never forgotten, now sounded like a joke.

"Did you ask Brooke the same question?" he was finally able to speak, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"You think I killed him. ”

It's not even an angry rhetorical question...... But it's not an acknowledgement. The overly calm tone seemed to tell Ed that he knew what they thought, but he didn't care—whatever it was, he didn't care, and he didn't need to explain it to anyone.

"What the hell are you trying to do......" Deep frustration caused Ed to murmur the question he knew wouldn't have an answer, "Do you even know what you're doing?"

"I want to ask you the same question. ”

Sean gave him a faint look, "You're helping Scott...... Are you sure you know what he's really trying to do?"

Ed opened his mouth, then closed feebly.

Always—he thought to himself, always, Sean Fletcher would always only talk about what he wanted to talk about. Every time he felt that strong sense of powerlessness, even when they were close to each other, standing side by side, as if they were standing in two completely different worlds, and he tried his best to understand more about Sean, and he tried to make Sean understand what he was thinking...... But Sean didn't want to understand.

He didn't bother to understand at all.

Sean Fletcher lives in his own world. Why did he have to create a god? He already thought of himself as a god.

"You know, I'll find her sooner or later. ”

Sean looked away, his tone calm not like a threat, "For the sake of your friends, maybe it's best not to wait until that day." ”

“...... She doesn't exist anymore!" Ed blurted out in anger, "We burned her body and had her taken back to her home for burial...... She doesn't belong to you, Sean, she belongs to her family?"

"Family?" said Sean with a cold smile, "her family treats her like a madman and a curse, and they are glad they can get rid of her...... She had inherited too much power for her soul to bear. She can see the past, she can see the future, but she can't see everything in front of her. Her daughter slipped into the pool just a few steps away, struggling for help, while she sat quietly on the grass and smiled at a flower that might have bloomed hundreds of years ago - you don't know anything, Ed, you didn't burn her, Scott won't allow it...... He knew she was still useful. ”

Ed's heart pounded at the overly accurate guess.

"Even so...... "you don't have that right—it's blasphemy, neither to Helena, nor to ...... To Felicity. ”

"The Sage never cares about that. Sean didn't even look at him again, "She always knew what was really important...... What really matters is the enemy we will face is the power that Scott is trying to summon into this world without hesitation. She had spent many years searching for answers, for that darkness that had tried to invade this world again and again...... And she thought you could fight it, but you would rather believe Scott. ”

"Scott won't ......" Ed stopped abruptly, biting his lip hard.

This won't be useful.

"It's not even about what exactly he wants to do. Sean stared down at the water, his face resembling Scott in some ways, "but what he could do...... You think you can solve all the problems on your own? No, you can't, you can't even figure out your real enemy - we need her. ”

“...... Maybe we can also stand together and help each other as she hoped?" Ed made a final effort in vain, "We may not be able to do it now, but what if there were more 'we'?" Felicity told me, 'Trust Sean Freyche'......"

He couldn't go on.

Sean looked at Ed's tired and sad face on the water, and a hint of regret flashed in his blue eyes.

"Look, that's exactly the problem. He said, "Ed ...... You don't believe me. ”

Ed hung his head and said nothing.

He wanted to ask, was it all his fault, but he didn't have the strength to hold on any longer.

"We've gone too far on different paths," Sean's deep voice hit his eardrums, "and it would take too much time to turn back...... And we don't have time. Ed, pray that our paths will meet at some point, pray for the moment when they meet...... We are not enemies. ”

Ed stood dumbfounded, listening to the sound of his still-heavy, powerful footsteps fading away. Again, he didn't ask anything useful at all...... This was to be expected.

He lowered his head and spread out his right hand, his sweaty palm holding a small, inconspicuous flying insect, its bulging belly almost translucent with crimson liquid.

...... At least he succeeded in one thing.

He carefully put the half-dead flying insect into the glass bottle and shuffled away, sincerely hoping that Iss would have a better harvest than he did.

The wooden door closed behind him. In the uninhabited room, the faint blue light still flows quietly on the white floor and walls, and the mirror-like water surface suddenly blurs for a moment, faintly reflecting a shadow that does not exist.

The white-haired, blue-eyed girl floated on the water and sighed silently.

They couldn't see her...... No one could see her.

Maybe never to be seen.
