"Is that compassion?"

Suddenly, Aven's voice came from the empty square, and the sound reverberated in the square, and the layers of sounds and layers of experiments made the square more and more lonely. The world seems to have been carved out of this square and turned into a place of secrecy, as if the whole world is left except for Charlotte and Aven, who are only the victims in hell.

Starlight raised its head and looked silently at Evan as he walked out of the square.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Evan continued, "Anna is a very good experimenter, and she has provided me with excellent data on the connection between the heart and the soul. If you had come a few days earlier, the success rate of soul cutting might have dropped by a few tenths of a percentage because of your compassion, but it doesn't matter now. After hearing such words, do you still feel that your compassion is necessary?"

Starlight smiled coldly, "Of course it's necessary, I don't know where you got the confidence to think that I would willingly let you cut your soul." ”

Evan continued on her way to Charlotte, the heels of his boots reverberating against the ground in the square, "That's why I said you were fake mercy. You can be compassionate to a woman you've never met, but why can't you be more compassionate to your sister, your brother, and even yourself? I find that you have a trait that you never shirk your responsibilities, what kind of mentality is that? Self-satisfaction? Or are you born to be a good person?"

"Because I think it's a shame to shirk responsibility. ”

"Even if carrying that responsibility will make you, your brother and sister fall into the abyss together?" said Evan stopped about twenty meters away from Charlotte, "That's self-satisfaction!"

"Aven. Charlotte stared at her and asked, "What kind of mentality do you have to take the initiative to take responsibility? Isn't it also self-satisfaction?"

"No!" Evan pointed to his left chest, "It's love!"

"Love, do you call it love?" Starlight gestured to the coffin-like iron beds.

"Yes!" said Evan, no, "this is love! What do you think love is? A person like you who can help someone you have never met is called love? No, Charlotte, that's hypocrisy! True love is an emotion that is only for a limited, specific person, and that emotion can even control your reason, giving you the motivation to move on even if you sacrifice yourself and bear all your sins." Instead of being like a saint - Ahh

Evan spread his hands, "Oh my God, Charlotte, do you call this love?!Is your love all about protecting others and hurting your loved ones?"

Charlotte saw the bitterness and enthusiasm of self-sacrifice in Avan's face that closely resembled herself, but these two very different emotions were perfectly unified in him, making him full of charisma and persuasiveness. So much so that up to now, Charlotte has no bad feelings for Aven, but only an anxiety that is difficult to convince.

He understood that the only way to persuade Evan, who had fallen into the wrong thinking, was to start from both love and reality at the same time, so he adjusted his breathing and let the starlight body speak.

"So you admit that you killed Elbert?"

"Yes!"

"You also admit that you kidnapped all the missing people?"

"Yes!"

"That's good!You idiot!Look at the faces of your companions at the dinner!Think about how Father and Mother are feeling right now!" Starlight yelled at Aven, "Your so-called love has hurt your loved ones!"

"I know. ”

"You know, if you know you shouldn't!"

Aven's voice suddenly rose an octave, "Is it right for my father to bury Vivien Leigh's happiness in politics!?"

"He's not right, and I don't agree with him either. But I think you can talk to me about it, and we can take a softer approach!"

"There is no such thing as a soft way! We are both scourges in the eyes of our parents, and they feel that the only way to protect the family is to marry off Vivien Leigh! In their eyes, the family is extremely important, but you and I both know that even if that person is not Elbert, as long as Vivien Leigh marries far away, she will sooner or later be murdered by the inertia of the roots! We have tried so many times, and each time we have managed to get through it with the help of your and my abilities. Do you think we're going to be able to go on like that in the future, and next time you're going to use the Death Reset to contact me, and what if something goes wrong, or if we can't catch up?"

The astral body was silent.

Aven's voice took on a plea again, "Charlotte, think about it! I'm not selfishly trying to claim the Root Throne, I just don't want to see you in such pain, and I don't want any accidents to happen to Vivien Leigh. I know that sacrificing you is the safest way to go, but I'd rather take the risk of cutting your soul. I think everything I do is for you, but you think I'm going astray. Why can't we agree as we did before?"

"What if cutting souls doesn't make you elevate the throne?" the astral body asked suddenly.

Evan was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

"I already know the answer. Charlotte in the room showed a sad expression, "Then let me ask you another question, and if your answer satisfies me, I will consider cooperating with your actions." ”

Expectant flashes in Aiwen's eyes, "You ask!"

"The reason why you want to save Vivien Leigh at all costs, even if you are infamy. Is there any guilt besides love?

“…… Yes!"

Starlight nodded, with an expression that had already been expected, "That's why I'm reluctant to cooperate with you." I don't care about that plane throne, but I don't want you to become Lu Sien. And to tell you the truth, according to my theories and inferences, even if you become Lu Sien, you will not save Vivien Leigh, but will only make everything worse and worse. I even suspect that the two of us are just some pawns of Lu Sien, even if this is the case, do you still want to gamble on the 1 in 100 million odds, and do you not hesitate to sink into another person, and continue with the infamy of betraying your loved ones?"

"Yes, because I know there is no choice! than if we do nothing and wait for trial. ”

"You're a coward! Surrendering everything to a loser is the stupidest and most cowardly act!" Starlight said word by word, "I'm different from you, I choose to solve everything by myself, and I'm confident that I can save Vivien Leigh!I won't give my soul to you, I won't let my brother be a stranger when the dawn is coming, and then hasten the Root Judgment because of my stupidity, making everything irreparable! All I need is time and trust, I won't murder my two closest relatives with my own hands! Aven, you can turn back now. ”

"But what we lack most is time and trust. Evan tugged at his collar and pulled the tightly buttoned neckline apart, "We're running out of time." You haven't noticed the death tattoo on Vivien Leigh, have you? Alene has also seen it, and by the time the death tattoo reaches the heart, the day of judgment is approaching, and we don't have time to gamble. You make me trust you, but any sane person would choose to trust a king with the throne of time and space! ”

Charlotte was silent for a long time, and manipulated the starlight body to untie the bow tie as well, "Is it really going to come this far?"

"The choice is yours, not mine. Evan naturally stretched his hands at the sides of his legs and began to move his five fingers, "The same words for you, Charlotte, now you can turn back." ”

"Hmph!ha......" Starlight looked up and laughed, and Charlotte in the room oozed tears.

Suddenly, Charlotte and the astral body were looking straight ahead at the same time!

"That's not to talk about!"

- I'm going to shatter your stupid illusions with my own hands!!

The two brothers, who were once close, shouted the same sentence in the evil chamber of the resurrected Calamity Witch, attacking each other!
