Chapter 166: Greed
Time, stopped.
Erin and Xiaohui's movements remained in the moment before shaking hands, the rare expression on Xiaohui's face was well preserved, and Erin's helpless expression was also frozen.
No, now that body can only be said to be called "Taidaochuan Reina", and Li Zheng, who unconsciously floated out of the yin and yang fish on the chest of Dongfeng Gu Hui, has seen Erin's true form.
A faint shadow floated above Reina Taitogawa, which belonged to Erin's soul and where Erin's consciousness was.
Compared with the body of Taidaogawa Rena, Erin is very thin, after all, she is a person who has lived in the hospital since she was a child, and the material determines consciousness, and the image reflected by her soul is also a very thin woman.
[This feeling is familiar. At this time, Li Zheng suddenly remembered a picture of the past.
It was on the island of the Duelist Kingdom, and the feeling after the duel with Li Ao, who had crossed over and occupied the body of the Duelist Killer, was completed, and the power of the "super-fusion" that destroyed the world was still deeply imprinted in Li Zheng's memory.
And this time, although there is no "hyperconvergence", it is just that the situation has become less dangerous, in fact, the reasons for these two incidents are the same.
[The upgrade patch has been detected, the system has started to download, please wait for ......]
In fact, the system had already detected the upgrade patch when Li Zheng first met Erin (see chapter 141 for details), and now it may be because Li Zheng defeated Erin, and the "upgrade patch" on Erin is about to be taken away by the system.
Li Zheng pinched the terminal that wanted to go out and download the upgrade patch, he still had a lot of questions to ask Erin.
Erin doesn't look like a girl anymore, she should be about twenty-five years old, just the best years of a woman, but for Erin, in addition to choosing to be a witch and kill people everywhere, she can only lie on the bed like a corpse, can't see, can't hear, can't speak, can't walk.
Although she is a little emaciated, Li Zheng can still see that if she has enough nutrition, then Erin may not lose to those popular movie stars in appearance.
"Well, I really can't leave this time. Erin looked at Li Zheng who came over, beckoned to him with some relief, and said to him, "Looks like that thing in your hand wants to eat me? Why don't you let it go? People like me shouldn't have anything to be pitied, right?"
"Not mercy. Li Zheng pinched the terminal and contacted Zero to tell her to turn off this guy's voice system, otherwise it would be too noisy. After the environment was quiet, Li Zheng continued: "Yes, there are still some questions for you. β
"Oh? Erin simply sat down, "I know everything, but there is a condition, at least let me maintain this state for a little longer, okay? I haven't used my body to move freely for 20 years." β
Li Zheng nodded, and then said with some curiosity: "You can see it quite openly." But I'm curious as to why you're going to kill so many ordinary girls without any pressure to carry out your operations. If you really just want to go out and see what the stupid kid said, then you just have to choose a contractor and see the world from her point of view, and you don't shy away from using this destructive and very revealing way?"
"If you really want to say it, it's my obsession, of course, you can also say it's because of my greed. Erin spread her hands, saying that she had anticipated this problem, and said, "There have been many people who say that I am a greedy witch who mutilates the lives of others to maintain filthy souls that should not exist in the world. Later, I simply admitted it, admitting that I was a witch, admitting that I was doing those things that hurt heaven and reason, and heaven and earth did not tolerate it. β
"It's really straightforward, don't you know how to converge at all?" Li Zheng said helplessly, "In this way, you are simply inhumane." β
"Lose your humanity, lose a lot, lose your animality, lose everything. Erin closed her eyes and said lightly: "I never deny that I am a wicked person, if I die, I will definitely never be able to turn over in hell, right?" But everything I do is just to live, to see this world that I still like even if I am full of malice towards me." β
Li Zheng was silent.
"I can see that you and I are the same kind of people - maybe the word 'spirit' should be used here? Forget it, it doesn't matter. The only difference is that you have good luck, the skill to be able to possess without harming the other party, and ......" Erin glanced at Megumi Dongfeng, who had maintained a rare smile during the pause of time, and continued: "And someone who is willing to let you possess you, who is willing to give you everything in his body. β
"......" Li Zheng was silent, indeed, he was very lucky, if his contractor was not willing to communicate, willing to listen to teachings, willing to let him possess to control everything in his body, but a proud young man who used himself as a plug-in tool, remembered to use it when he pretended to be forced, usually threw away the cold bench and then used Li Zheng's ability to open the back palace as a breeder and horse, his choice might not be much more human than Erin's.
"But I wasn't that lucky, and I tried to negotiate with them, but it all failed. Erin changed her posture and continued to speak: "If it weren't for the desperation, who would like to be chased and killed as a witch every day? But my childhood experience has taught me that the world can't tolerate me: when I was five years old, I was in a plane crash, and it was my mother who used her own to change my survival; then my five senses faded little by little, until I became a waste body no different from a corpse; finally I had the ability to get out, and all the dark people in Europe wanted to kill me and then quickly. Thankfully, they didn't spread the news to District 11 in order to monopolize my power, otherwise I would have died in this tournament. β
"Actually, it looks like you won't live long now. Li Zheng looked at the terminal that was becoming more and more difficult to pinch and the countless warning sounds from the system, and said to Erin: "Then why did you go to the European Cup before?
"That time I wanted to die. But the gang was chased away by John's hired men. Really, it's only twelve years old don't think of yourself as an adult......" Erin's expression changed for the first time, before Erin was indifferent to see through the red dust, but now she has a doting face, "It was also that time that I found out that I was actually not alone." Subsequently, I wanted my organization to do its best to do research on prosthetics, rather than continuing to hunt people. β
"And then because of the lack of funds, I came to Duel City, right?" Li Zheng frowned, feeling that the situation was not so simple, "Then why do you still want to kill? It stands to reason that you can let others use the 'Beetle Loader' to win? I also know the strength of this deck." β
"I can only say that I am used to this. Erin finally showed a very sorry expression, she looked at the body of "Reina Taitogawa" who was standing in the stop of time and said, "I'm used to this way of acting, and before I know it, it's done." I'm sorry ......."
When Li Zheng talked about this, he also felt that there was nothing to say. In the future, he should be able to answer Xiaohui's questions. Erin is indeed a wicked person, and even she herself admits that she is a real witch who doesn't even want humanity in order to live, but think about it from another perspective, Erin and Li Zheng's novels that occasionally read in their previous lives are compared to Long Aotian, who shouted "My life is up to me, not the sky" and then killed the Quartet, compared to the novels that Erin occasionally read in her previous life, and those who were about to destroy people at a glance at their own women, and shouted "My life is up to me" and then killed all sides.
To be reasonable, the Q-level dark ability can easily be rated LV5 in the "Academy City" of an anime in the previous life, and you can even compete for the top two, if the one who gets this theory is an ordinary middle two teenager or a cynical person, smack, the consequences can be imagined.
Of course, reality can't be compared with novels, after all, this is the 21st century, and Irene's behavior can be regarded as angry.
Then, he stretched out the terminal that was basically irrepressible in front of Erin, and said, " Xiaohui gave you the right to surrender so that you can freely decide your own destiny once, then I will also give you a right now: clearly tell you that the time stop will end soon, and then you can use your power to leave, I will not stop it, and then, you can also choose to be eaten by this thing now, it may only eat your ability, so that you can turn back to the original fragile sick number, or it may directly eat your soul, so that you can't even go to hell, choose. β
"It's not a choice at all. Erin smiled slightly, reached out and caught Li Zheng's terminal, and then Li Zheng unlocked all the inhibitions on the terminal, and the terminal sucked all Erin in an instant!
[The upgrade component "Greed" has been downloaded, and the upgrade patch will be installed, please wait...... Installed!]
["Greedy"?] Li Zheng pinched his chin and thought: [Is the struggle for the most basic right to survival greedy......]
