"Come out. Cook returned to this cold prison again after a long absence, looked at Jared with a warm smile on his face, and said with a complicated expression.

Jared stretched out as if relieved, and sighed, "Is it finally time to get rid of the execution, it's a little too slow." ”

"Five days for a direct execution, which is already very fast. ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Jared said it didn't matter, and staggered out of the prison with his chains.

Cook looked at the stumbling Jared with a complicated expression, and for some reason, a bleak sadness surged up in his heart.

was a very good teenager, but he fell into the dark abyss of revenge like a madman, and finally ended up with this miserable appearance.

If it was me back then, would it have been like this in the end?

Thinking like this, there was a rare flash of unbearability in the depths of Cook's eyes, and after a moment of hesitation, Cook still asked, "Don't you regret it? If you could do it again, would you choose the same path?"

Jared's footsteps slammed, and after a brief silence, he smiled casually, yes, this smile was not the kind of kind of cozy smirk deliberately disguised, nor was it rich in the kind of cruel and evil smile that was only for revenge, but simply let go of his heart, and really belonged to his own smile.

"Where is there an innocent saint in this world, no matter who he is, as long as he bears the hatred that must be killed, he will definitely stain his clothes with blood. ”

"Hatred is hatred! Crime is crime! In the face of both, there should be no so-called feelings!"

Cook's body trembled suddenly, and Jared's last words were simply a disguised reminder of him.

Yes, even if Jared has a sad past and a blood feud, the sins he committed still have to be paid for by himself!

"Let's go. Cook strengthened his unbearable heart, walked up to Jared, turned his back to Jared and said coldly.

"Hatred is revenge, crime is crime, right, the injury on your leg was caused by me, and if I carry you, it can be regarded as repaying the crime. Cook tilted his head and smiled at Jared.

Jared was also a little surprised, but still smiled jokingly: "Can I think you want to let me go to the execution ground earlier?"

"Whatever you want. ”

In the end, Jared still let Cook carry him behind him, and the two of them were silent all the way, but there was an unusually warm touch.

When they arrived at the execution ground, everyone looked at this strange picture, all of them looked puzzled, and even some irascible councillors shouted at Cook: "What are you kid doing! He's a heinous condemned prisoner!"

Cook turned a deaf ear to the roars of these men, still carrying Jared on his back, and slowly walked towards the central torture table.

"Bastard, come on, arrest that guy for me!" Seeing that Cook directly chose to ignore him, the councillor only felt that his majesty had been offended, and ordered with an angry roar.

However, in the next moment, the councilor only felt as if he had fallen into an ice kiln, and an inexplicable fear and chill filled his body, and the exquisite female voice in his ears seemed to carry the purgatory chill of the Nine Shadows, making him unable to move.

"The councillors here are really a bit annoying. ”

Although Hai Landuo had a smile in her eyes, the breathtaking coldness surrounding her body made people dare not look at her.

"But...... He ......" said the councillor, still dissatisfied.

"We don't need your branch to dictate how to do things at our headquarters. Hylando bent her head slightly, and Ying Ying smiled.

"Yes...... It's ......" The councillor kept oozing cold sweat from his forehead, lowered his head, and muttered cautiously.

Highlander nodded in satisfaction and moved her gaze to Cook, revealing a complicated expression on her cold pretty face.

Although Cook didn't tell her anything, but the battle between him and Jared in the restaurant that day, she could see it clearly through the derivative ability, to be honest, she was also surprised at first, but she didn't expect that little Cook, who had been regarded as her younger brother on weekdays, actually had such a shrewd and cruel killing method, at that moment, she inexplicably felt that there was still a sense of strangeness between herself and Cook.

One is the youngest executive officer in the headquarters of the Lai Yi Academy, and the other is the heinous murderer in the city, obviously two people with such disparate identities, but at this moment, they seem to be so harmonious and perfect.

If Jared hadn't been caught in the abyss of revenge, I'm afraid he would have been Cook's closest friend. Highlander thought to heart with some regret.

Just as there was an inexplicable silence in the execution ground, Jared turned to Cook and asked, "Now you can tell me why my puppet didn't come back then, right?"

Cook smiled slightly, didn't hide it, and said directly: "Because there is a powerful ability that secretly eliminates your ability, you don't notice it. ”

"Eliminated my ability?" Jared said with some surprise, "she must be a second-order ability if she can eliminate my ability without me even noticing." ”

Cook nodded, it was Sister Lan who used the ability barrier that day, and secretly eliminated the ability that Jared had inflicted on her.

"I see. Jared thought slightly, as if he understood something, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "No wonder you want to give a resignation speech in a new residential area in the northeast." ”

The new residential area in the northeastern city is very far away from the Dragon Circus, so the popularity of the Dragon Circus spread there very late, so most of the puppets there are the audience of the sixth show, and because of the long distance, they can only come to buy tickets very late, so the seat numbers are all E and F areas.

And Highlando, who was sitting in Zone C, eliminated Jared's ability, so all the audience members after him had a deviation in the seed number, in other words, the number given by the seed was the wrong one with the serial number arranged by Jared himself!

Therefore, none of the puppets in the northeast city came that day, because the puppets that really belonged to those serial numbers were far away from other cities according to Cook's observation, and it would take at least a few hours to get over.

"This time I lost completely. Jared sighed sincerely.

"Yes, but according to you, your vengeance against John is doomed. Cook didn't care about Jared's declaration of defeat, because he had more to worry about.

If Jared's purpose is only to oust John from power, it can indeed be regarded as a successful revenge, but judging from Jared's paranoid and crazy attitude, their revenge must not be so simple, and killing John should be their ultimate goal.

"Please, I'm dying, so don't take my word for it anymore. Jared was rather speechless at this point.

"You're not going to say it anyway, are you?" said Cook, pouting disdainfully.

"And you still ask?" Jared glared at Cook fiercely.

"If you ask, you won't die, what are you afraid of. ”

"Fart, I'm about to go to the execution table, and you still say you won't die?"

“……”

In the end, in the midst of the noisy bickering between Cook and Jared like a living treasure, Cook finally stepped onto the stairs of the torture table.

The short five-story staircase seemed to connect to the distant sky, and just by taking a step, Cook felt a heavy sense of depression in his heart.

To be honest, Cook's hatred for Jared is not so strong, he has also brutally slaughtered ordinary people for his life, if he has to classify himself, Cook feels that he is still a sinner, and as a sinner, he shamelessly begs for the future to Old Man Howl like a clown.

"Can I really, live as a righteous executive in the eyes of the people?" muttered Cook as he looked up the stairs and stared at the sky.

Jared was silent.

Finally arrived at the execution table, Cook gently put down Jerred, stepped aside, and quietly looked at Jerred with a shackled and indifferent expression.

"Execution!" A deep and powerful low shout suddenly sounded on the execution ground, and a man in a blue and white public security uniform slowly ascended to the execution platform.

The pitch-black muzzle of the gun was pointed straight at the back of Jared's head, as if it was about to give him an unknown death full of boundless darkness in the next second.

"Can I speak to him in the last few minutes?" Jared said abruptly.

The man in uniform hesitated for a few seconds, but finally nodded and pinned the pistol back to his waist.

"What are you going to say?" said Cook as he walked up to Jared, with a heavy heart.

"The incident is over, the beasts in the city will no longer eat people in secret, and all that remains is John's own confession. Jared said lightly.

"But you'd better find the beasts, for even if the old lady no longer manages them, they are still uncertain, and as for where the beasts are, I can only give you a hint, where everyone can see them. ”

Hmm? Jared's hint dragged Cook into the abyss of mystery again, frowning tightly, a little inexplicable.

"After dealing with the beast, I want you to pay a visit to a dilapidated distillery called Anthony's Distillery, where you have the most information you want to know. ”

After saying this, Jared was silent for a while, and then smiled at Cook: "Moreover, do you really think that there is such a big difference between the so-called justice and evil, what is justice, can you really interpret it perfectly?"

"What do you mean?" Cook only felt that Jared's words were a little inexplicable, and his frown never relaxed.

Jared glanced at Cook, sighed with some hatred, and said depressedly: "I thought you would understand, but I didn't expect you to be a novice in this regard." ”

"But anyway, I'm still very happy to be able to chat with you like this in the end, how many years have I not felt this way, am I now, am I still me?"

In the last half hour, Jared completely put aside his hatred, just like a pure teenager, he would laugh happily, and he would quarrel with people dissatisfied, and he was even more cherished.

The last thing that came to mind was a gentle woman's face. Jared had gentle eyes and a warm smile, and looked at Cook in front of him, and he unconsciously thought alone: Is this also the person I cherish?

No, probably not.

Turning around, Jared smiled at the uniformed man, "I've already said what I'm going to say." ”

On the vast execution ground, the crisp sound of gunfire echoed for a long time......
